@Polymorpheus Understood. Just wanted to make sure I didn't make my charectar too over-powered or under-powered right out of the gate. I made that mistake one time, and I ended up being essentially useless for a large part of the RP.

Sounds interesting. Would elemental manipulation (ability to control fire, water, earth, and wind) be an acceptable ability? Are there any limits I should place on that ability? If this is acceptable, I pretty much already have a character made. I'll just need to tweak a few things, particularly regarding his history, but that shouldn't be too much trouble.

Definitely interested. I'm thinking a spearman of Falke fighting for the Kinghts of Ekilore. I'll get to work on a CS soon.

Whoops. I forgot to tag @Artifex in the IC.

As per his usual routine, Alebard took a quick bath, and then spent a full five minutes wrangling his unruly hair into something that looked at least mildly presentable, grumbling the whole while about the frustrations his hair caused him. After getting his hair into some semblance of order, he pulled on a pair of brown pants, a sand red tunic, which he tightened around his waist with a brown leather belt, and a black cloak over it all. He returned to his room to fetch Zalek, who happily flew and perched onto Alebard's shoulder, and almost immediately proceeded to attempt to climb up the side of Alebard's face. Alebard sighed as he grabbed Zalek by the neck. "We've been through this a million times, Zalek," he scolded mildly. "My head is not a perch." Even so, he couldn't help but smile, ever so slightly. This matter of Zalek trying to climb onto Alebard's head, and Alebard stopping him before he could do so, had been going on so long now that it was practically a game - one that Zalek had yet to win.

With his friend riding on his shoulder, Alebard headed down to the cafeteria to get food for him and Zalek. He piled one plate with ham, bacon, and sausage, and then got another plate with a hearty omelette. He set both plates down at the first available seat he found in the cafeteria, across from one of the boys from house Bestia. Alebard gave the boy a nod. "Silas," he greeted cordially as he sat down. Zalek hopped down from Alebard's shoulder and quickly began digging in to his plate of meat while Alebard began eating his omelette.

@ShwiggityShwah You did give me permission to claim him, as I recall.

Alebard's Second Summon

Name: Bask, Singer of Seven Dreams
Alignment: Defender
Class: Coatyl
Sub Class: Storm Serpent

The Coatyl are the embodiment of gods for a culture that honors the spirits and gods through devotion and sacrifice. The Coatyl of the sky are the servants of sun, moon, the stars, and its in their care and mercy that they bring the rains and change the seasons. Its the cold winds that promote communities to band together to survive, its the lightening that brings them fire, its the rain that feeds the soil. Everything needed for life, comes from the sky.

Summoner Pact: Alebard Aulric

Personality: Singer has always been a stickler for the rules. Always worked to maintain the rightful way of doing things. Always preached a life of love and respect for your peers and community. Its for that reason, Singer is a social butterfly. Supportive, positive, a friend in flying snake form.

There's something about his compassion and empathy for the world that makes one almost immediately trust him. He's wise enough to understand your problems, old enough to have experienced them, and kind enough to help you through them. Indeed he gets joy and validation in seeing a bit more of the world brought back into the light.

That isn't to say hes a pacifist, far from it. Anything worth creating is worth protecting, and thus Bask is more than happy to test his newest spell on anyone foolish enough to give him reason to. However he is too nice for his own good, and being merciful to those who might just cause more trouble later.

Powers: Always flying, Bask is not a fighter but a capable mage. His long sinuous form is able to dance the movements to weave the essence of air and season, his beautiful voice is able to call the astral and ethereal forces, and thus channeling the mana he can cast magic of weather, lightening, illusions, healing, and dream are made manifest. As a fall back he himself uses his shocking breath attack and protrusions on his tail capable of whipping out like a club. The venom of his fangs is a tranquilizer, rending those bitten into dream hazed torpor. Recovery is actually faster in this state and nearly all victims wake up feeling profoundly refreshed and in a state of ecstatic well being.

History: Bask has actually known Alebard, or rather, known of him, for the past six years, having felt his mind brush against his own during the boy's first successful attempt at summoning. Alebard's emotions at the time - nervousness, uncertainty, self-doubt, and overwhelming joy - piqued Bask's interest, and while Alebard mostly passed by him on this first journey through the realms, Bask was determined to keep an eye on him whenever possible. Truth be told, it had been many years since Bask had bonded with an invoker, and he was feeling somewhat lonely as a result. Thus, whenever he felt Alebard's presence brush against his own mind, he would reach out, prodding Alebard's mind just enough to get Alebard's attention. It took several tries over the course of the next three years before Alebard finally took the hint and attempted to summon Bask. The first several attempts were met with limited success - Alebard was able to summon Bask, but he was unable to maintain the link while also maintaining his link with Zalek. One time, Alebard actually lost his link with Zalek and Bask remained. It was during this first, then anomalous, episode that Alebard and Bask became properly acquainted with one another. Bask admired Alebard's tenacity as well as his motivation to be the best that he could possibly be. He also found Alebard's kindness and humility to be a refreshing change from most of the other dragon invokers that he had met. Moreover, he saw Alebard as a young man with a great deal of potential to unlock. The bond between Alebard and Bask began to strengthen from that meeting onward, and as time went on, Alebard became more capable of maintaining a bond with Bask and Zalek at the same time, until he is now capable of keeping both of them in this realm for an entire day or more, though he is still more closely bonded to Zalek than he is to Bask, who still travels back to his own realm from time to time.

@Artifex Alright, sounds good. I'll get to work on that soon as I get the doc

@Artifex Don't have Discord, and I really don't need another distraction in my life.

Alebard stretched and yawned as the morning sun streamed in through the window of his bedroom. Curled up beside him and still snoozing away was Zalek. Alebard reached over and scratched his best friend's eye ridges. "Come on, Zalek. It's time to get up," he said.

The miniature dragon grumbled a half-hearted complaint and remained curled up.

"I know, but it's morning," Alebard said. "And you don't want to miss breakfast, do you?"

Zalek's head perked up just a little bit at the mention of food, causing Alebard to chuckle. After spending 6 years with the dragon, he knew all the best ways to get Zalek's interest up in a situation.

Alebard stretched again as he pulled himself out of bed. Zalek also began to uncurl and stretch out his sinuous form. Alebard grabbed a set of clothes and made his way into the bathroom to shower and get dressed before he and Zalek went down to the nearest cafeteria to get food.
