@Shiva

You might have it somewhere but what is our level just about? This will help me fill out my sheet.

The Consortium: A D&D and Treasure Planet Inspired RP

Thinking a dragonblooded quartermaster, bard or paladin.

Or maybe the ship's chaplain. Kind of there for emotional and spiritual guidance. Most military endeavors have them. Cleric, paladin, celestial warlock.

The Consortium: A D&D and Treasure Planet Inspired RP

@Shiva

Are their typical D&D classes that fit into this world through some flavoring?

Ie, a navigator is a divination wizard, or a knowledge cleric, or spy Rogue?
Cook can be an artificer alchemist, or hunter ranger, etc?

How important is magic in this universe?

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

@PaulHaynek

He was getting a response from the Owl Mage. Great! Challenge aside, he'd like to get to know her better. An intellectual and a beauty. It was only natural. Maybe he could finally convince those at the Guild that he wasn't such a kid. That quickly changed when the lich gave him a rather suspicious look, and to call it piercing didn't do it justice.

The sudden distance they crossed made a gulp catch in his throat. His face immediately flushed at the sudden violation to his personal space by two pairs of intense eyes. He even needed to take a step back, but refusing to back down, though he did raise his hands in a defensive reaction. The Owl mage continued to speak, but those 'Evil Eyes' really did seem to reach into his soul... and make his heart thump.

Then the lich responded... It felt accusatory at first but then she kind of made it the challenge, and then about herself. As she trailed off, Ozzy kind of did the same, his fingers and feathers going to his chin. "You know, that isn't exactly a bad quiz question." How often would you come across a male monster, and trying to figure it out by question alone sounded oddly fun.

The comment 'little' conked him out of it. He was taller then the Lich, but slightly shorter then the Owl Mage, still he was eighteen years old dangit! He smiled back, using his hands to emphasize. "Nope. No magic." He felt oddly special and needing to show off just a bit. It was basically a quirk of birth but a little flair couldn't hurt. His posture seemed composed as he explained. "My name is Ozmodius Skyway, but you can call me Ozzy, if you like. And you are looking at, a one in a genetic million, a male monster. A male Owl Harpy to be specific. Traveling Sociologist and Member of the Guild." He smiled proudly, though his cheeks still showed a hint of rose, he tried to smile through the nervousness.

He gave them a moment to let that bombshell sink in, but he intended to follow up with praising them. A lich and an owl mage. He had never met either representative. And both of them seemed to eager to learn. Maybe he found some kindred spirits. "And how lucky I am to meet an Owl Mage and a Lich. I never had the pleasure. Could I ask the same?" he offered a hand to them in greeting. Intellectual to intellectual.

@PaulHaynek

As someone who had to gm with a split party, we really appreciate the efforts.

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

"SQAWWWRK!"

Ozzy had just been getting more and more excited as they walked closer and closer to Boreal, keeping the trip there quite noisy as he ran off a bunch of random facts about Boreal which led to snippets about other far away lands, the subaquatic kingdoms and general shipping in general. One could swear he was just starting to float by how much he was talking, seemingly circling the group as his excitement and the sea currents uplifted him. Standing in the middle of the street with his friends, Ozzy blurted out, his bird like voice uttering out. He swore sometimes he sound like a parrot rather then the noble owl but who cared about that!?

"Oh my gods! This is amazing! I swear this is better than Gladchester! And they had floats everywhere! Ahh! I can't wait!"

@13org Ada

He made sure to get Ada's attention, he was late for breakfast for her and apologized for it with the hustle and bustle of the morning but this time grabbed her hands and with a huge twinkle in his eyes announced. "I'm going to get you so much funnel cake!"

@PaulHaynek Rinas

Just then an elf approached, no wait, he recognized the iconography and attire. A priestess of the Demon King. Not surprising, they were near the Demon King's kingdom. She greeted them, and he greeted her back. "Thank you so much, it's nice to meet you Riñas Chavez. Everything looks great!" He didn't recognize her, but the others seemed to.

Rinas suggested the list of events. His jaw went slack. Quiz Bee.

A competition of intellect. Of monsterkind. Of useless trivia. While others were out studying the blade, life, or eachother, Ozzy was studying the written word. The world of books, and seeing cultures with his own eyes as he flew across the land. It was fate... it was destiny. He put his hands together, taking a deep breath, missing the whole Neil Rinas event. "My entire life has prepared me for this..." He put a finger to the sky. "I ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE!" He declared, his wings unfurling. "As gods are my witness! I, Ozmodius Skyway will win the Quiz Bee!"

@Restalaan Yang and Ditzy

Yang kind of broke him out of his little self aggrandizing monologue. Her usual big sis ruffling of his head. He chuckled and stomped back, his hands balled into fists. "You bet we will Sensei! Go kick some butt!" He didn't know she could cook? But at this point she's so amazing, he wouldn't be surprised.

When Ditzy declared his intent, Ozzy was with his new friend, giving the air a couple of fake punches. "You got this! Win another gold for the Guild!"

@Stern Algorithm Silvia and Vivian

Ozzy waited on baited breath at the serious duel being conducted between the two sisters. Honestly, it was a shoe in to have them attend the cooking show but volunteering to help was such a noble effort Ozzy could hardly fault it. Turns out, karma won and the two would help up. Ozzy tried to offer Vivian some cheering up. "Atleast you're doing something nice." he did whisper with a grin "You would have won." stating it that she didn't need to compete, mostly because she was too good a cook to lose. Or he hoped it would sound that way.

@Rezod92 Kira

Kira seemed to be on it, already showing Ada what she had managed to destroy and inviting her to what she'd probably get the most fun out of. The efforts earned Ozzy a big grin. "Great observation. She'd probably have more fun trying out the eats too. Careful though, this is her first time in a city so sorry if you have to keep an eye on her." He warned just in case.

He looked to Ada again with over flowing enthusiasm. "You're going to love the city Ada! And everyone's going to love you!" No more traps in the woods, she was another monster girl, with hopes and dreams like everyone else. He hoped she would be okay.

@13org Freyr

"Hey! That's a great idea! If we're all going to split up, lets meet at the cooking competition! It should take the longest and that way we can spend the rest of the festival together!" Ozzy gave Freyr a big thumbs up. "Bring home a gold Freyr!"

@PaulHaynek Haley

And with everyone choosing their challenges, that left Haley to decide. "I don't know how exciting it would be, but if you want to see me win or fail horribly, you're welcome Haley." He gave her a grin. If she came with- great they'd go together. If she didn't, he would fly to his victory.

----------------------

He didnt know, had no idea.

He had approached the stage after signing up to see three other females there. Ozzy was just there in a loose sky blue button up and red shorts, his satchel slung over his shoulder, and the moment he saw them, he felt his chest lurch a bit.

A Lich, complete with her grimoire. She seemed to draw in the light, which was amazing in such a bright sunlit day. Powerful magics. A lich? No freaking way! Despite her appearance, she was probably way way older then he was, and probably had tons more experience.

The Owl Mage, she.... was... BEAUTIFUL... It wasn't the famed 'evil eye' that made his face hot and his legs weaked knee'd, Ozzy was an owl harpy... and Owl Mage's were rather understandably, directly related. The only difference being that magic came much easier to Owl Mages due to their plumage gathering mana. Still, the owl part of himself couldn't deny the curves, the feather design. He hardly ever gets to see owl harpies this far west so she came as quite a sight. A moment of fluster later he shoke it off, game face! He knew that they were as scholarly and intelligent as his kind were. Shoot, he was going against natural talent and experience!

The last girl, the Kikimora hardly seemed to be a threat at first appearance compared to the other two. A beastman who normally act as maid and servants... thats the stereotype anyway. Ozzy wasn't going to underestimate her. That cute maid girl facade in her beachy best might be intentional.

He immediately felt his blood race. This was going to be a challenge. Better size up the competition.

He grinned and approached a hand raised with his wing, his owl feet under his shorts and his talons hooking into his sandals. "Hello! How's the festival going for you guys?" A greeted. Endear yourself to the enemy, then when their defenses are down, WHAM! You can achieve victory!

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

Likewise, again apologies, I got a new job ^^

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

Speaking of Bart though, is he up yet? There's a knight outside wanting to join, says he seeks 'enlightenment'. If you ask me, I don't buy it. Of all the places you could go to find that sort of thing, he thinks coming here would help find what he's looking for? But hey, who am I to judge?"

@Rezod92

"Oh I don't know. Ever since I started training with Sensei Yang, I've been feeling pretty zen." He said while making a little prayer sign with his hands. "Besides, I've never ran into a group so welcoming. It's gotta count for something." He moved past her as he made his way outside towards the others. "Hey if you're not busy, I'd like to use today to get properly acquainted." There was a point made, members come and go, and he didn't want to waste a single moment with a new potential friend if he could.

@PaulHaynek@Stern Algorithm@13org@Restalaan

Before he could reach the door, most of the guild had barged in, a new comer in tow. "Boy I thought I got up early..." He shrugged. "Morning everyone! I got coffee ready!" He announced cheerfully.

The discussion seemed to shift as Ozzy went back to the kitchen, getting the pot and cups ready. There was apparently some discussion to invite the knight into the guild. Ozzy made his opinion known by offering a cup to Sir Reed first. "I was welcomed no questions asked so I say we could do the same. Welcome! My name is Ozmodius Skyway. Scholar and Socialogist. Let me know if you need a question answered or, ya know- " He unfurled his wings. "A bird's eye view on anything."

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

Sorry about the little interactions, Ozzy's excited so of course he's chatty.

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

Hey, maybe we can win some prizes there for the Guild.

@PaulHaynek

"I hope there's a trivia contest!"

Yang Bethlehem

"Since tomorrow we're going to play. There won't be any morning training, take it as a chance to also rest your body and mind too." She said before patting his head and nudged him gently. "Sleep well."

@Restalaan

Ozzy was taken aback by this, blinking. He was actually looking forward to the suffering of the morning training. His excitement would probably make it work harder. But he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. He gave a big smile back at that. "Thank you sensei, but I doubt I'd be able to sleep. Good night." He bowed his head a little to her in respect before looking to the stairs, then remembering.

@13org

He wondered if Ada knew what was going to happen. "Ada! This is going to be the first time you went to a city! You'll love it. So much to see and do." He then thought a moment. "I wonder if she'd need a change of clothes..." He then sparked some before evening conversation. "Freyr what do you think? Is Ada a red to match her eyes or a blue? Really make the white pop."

---------------------

The next day, and yes Ozzy did sleep in. He was pouring over his books and writing his journal but eventually fatigue did get to him and he slept rather soundly, head swimming with the anticipation of a great day with his friends. He rose up almost in a flash, getting himself ready with his shorts, sandles, a shirt, keeping his clothing for the day loose compared to his usual traveling clothes.

He was flying down the stairs when he heard the commotion coming from outside. He figured he'd take initiative and get breakfast going. He was so peppy he could take on the Varjo again with a grin. He was heading towards the voices when He met Kira coming in.

@Rezod92

"Good morning Kira!" He said, his wings puffing out as he was standing on one of his talons, his voice sing songy. "I'm taking breakfast orders. How do you take your coffee? I hope Master Bart doesn't mind if I use the good stuff." He found some beans in a bag a few days ago while looking for utensils for dinner.
