Persona 3: Dark Side of the Moon [OOC]

Hmmm... that's five people. I think that's enough. I don't want to have to keep doing hand waving when people lose interest or when real life doesn't leave room for role-playing. Fills the story with way too many holes. :/ So I was thinking we stick with us five. Because I think everyone who's still here is dedicated and that's all I really need. My original plan was six people anyway and I think five is close enough. xD But i'd like to get input from all of you first.

The things he has seen, sketches of monsters and tips on the best way to kill them, secrets of the Grey Wardens' Joining ritual (Encrypted of course), and little notes and reminders.

Bedding for those nights in the wilderness.

Bio:
Maximus's life began in the great city of Minrathous in 8:60 Blessed. His life was marked with privilege since the very beginning. The first mage child of a Soporati family, his family was elevated to the status of Laetans. From a very young age, Maximus showed a great talent for the magical arts. So much so that at the age of 13, he was accepted into the Imperial Circle of Magi in Minrathous. It was there where his magical ability really flourished. It was also there where his instructors noticed his unhealthy appetite for knowledge and obsession with power. At the age of 36, he became a Senior Enchanter in the Minrathous Circle, giving him access to some of the artifacts in the Circle's care. One of these artifacts held a demon who, in exchange for its freedom, taught Maximus the forbidden art of Blood Magic. Maximus's life went downhill from there. He would frequently lock himself in his room, practicing his art and growing his power. Many of the Enchanters knew-- or at least suspected-- that Maximus was up to something, but he was largely ignored until he was caught doing a blood ritual. Not with slaves like he normally did, but this time, he had Apprentices on the altar. Faced with being branded Maleficar and being hunted down by Templars, he left. At the age of 40, he left the Imperium and traveled all over Thedas, completing jobs for people and even falling in with Mercenary companies eager to have the power of a mage. Eventually, he met a young woman in the Ferelden village of Lothering and settled down. He married, had a couple of kids (one of which was a mage), life was good. That is, until twenty-five years later. He learned from a friend in the Chantry that the Templars knew of his abilities. While he wasn't sure if they knew he was a Maleificar, he wasn't willing to take that chance. He left Lothering that night, abandoning his family. He was found two weeks later back east by Duncan, the leader of the Grey Wardens in Ferelden. At the time, he was hungry and desperate and attempted to rob Duncan and the two other Wardens with him. Maximus was emaciated however, and the other Wardens overpowered him quickly. Duncan saw the power Maximus held however, and asked him to join the Order. Seeing no better option, he accepted. Not to mention that the idea that the Templars wouldn't be able to touch him was very attractive. After five years of being with the Order, he became one of the mages that assisted with the preparation of the Joining ritual. He was conveniently on business in Orlais during the Battle of Ostagar, and after hearing what happened and how Loghain was shutting Grey Wardens out of Ferelden, he decided to stay in Orlais and wait until Ferelden fell and the Blight spread to Orlais.

Awesome. ^^ I'll post my character now on the appropriate thread.

Dragon Age: Darkest Days

Hello. ^^ Still accepting?

Persona 3: Dark Side of the Moon [OOC]

Such manners... It was a refreshing change, though the comment about his family's fame seemed to strike a nerve. Yoro normally would have dodged conversation with a new recruit, but she managed to impress him enough to make him want to throw her a bone. "You can put your bags in your room. If you will follow me." He took her bags with a very polite "allow me" and began to walk up the stairs. Assuming Chiaki was following him, he would begin to converse with her. "I have heard of you by the way. Seen a few of your glamor shots. Would you be offended if I said you looked far more beautiful in person?" He would abruptly cut off their conversation once they reached the third floor. "This is the third floor. You will be staying here with the other females. Second floor is for males. Of course, it goes without saying that venturing further than the stairs on the second floor is strictly forbidden. The fourth floor is off-limits as well. Pick a room that isn't already taken and I will come down to check on you as soon as my meeting is over. Until then..." He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. "Hello."

He sighed. "Hello, dear." He paused for a moment. "I need you to do me a favor. I have a young woman here in the dorm. I need you to help her move in." The person on the other line was yelling until Yoro cut them off. "It's not hard. Just make sure she's alright." A pause. "What? No. Why would I do that? Why would I..." He glanced at Chiaki, then paused. "Yes. I understand. How about dinner?" He nodded. "Yes. At that place you like. Pick you up at eight." He sighed, irritated. "Love you." He hung up. "I have a friend coming by to help you unpack." He put his phone back in his pocket. "Now, if you'll excuse me..." He went up the stairs to the fourth floor, heading back into the command room. He sat back down. "Anyway... back on subject. My theory is that Takahiro is being held somewhere inside Tartarus. Our kidnapper is obviously active during the Dark Hour. Tartarus would be a perfect spot to store a kidnapping victim."

Yoro's Phone Conversation

"Hello."
"Is that any way to greet your fiance?" That familiar, deceptively sweet voice made Yoro cringe.
"Hello, dear."
"That's better. Now, why did you call? It's so unlike you to talk to your fiance unless you must." The venomous edge to her voice made Yoro feel like he was five years old. But he refused to let Kimiko know that she could get to him. He went right to business.
"I need you to do me a favor. I have a young woman here in the dorm. I need you to help her move in."
"What the hell? Do you think I don't have anything better to do? Why call me? Why don't you get one of your Aides to help her? I told you that I don't do manual labor!" Yoro cringed at getting yelled at. Again.
"It's not hard. Just make sure she's alright." This set Kimiko off.
"Oh, I see. So she's your whore. What? Am I not good enough for you? Tell me, are you fucking her yet?"
"What? No. Why would I do that? Why would I--"
"That's good. Because if you make me mad, i'll tell daddy... and he might just withdraw his support. And his money. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?" Yoro didn't respond. He refused to play this game. "I'll help your whore, but I expect something in return. Do you understand?" Yoro finally responded.
"Yes. I understand. How about dinner?"
"At that one place?"
"Yes. At that place you like. Pick you up at eight." Yoro knew how to pacify his bride; with money.
"Oh, I love you baby!" No response. "Yoro..." Kimiko said in an irritated tone. Yoro sighed.
"Love you." He hung up.

Half an hour later, a gorgeous young woman would meet Chiaki in her room. She had light brown hair that framed a soft, feminine face. Her eyes were a piercing emerald green. She wore a neat black top and a skirt. She had very expensive-looking jewelery on her fingers, wrists, and neck. She would give her a forced bow, casting an icy glare at her. "My name is Maki Kimiko. I am Yoro-kun's fiance."
