Those that have RP'd with me lately, please take a gaze at my Bio. I finally got around to updating it.
Bio
"I burn endlessly, an intextinguishable inferno within the depths of a storm of passion and grace." Septimus Aureous, Captain of the Turian Frigate: Elysium
I've been roleplaying and writing for a little over half my life, and I'm 22. If I come across as cynical, picky, overly willing to write a huge CS, very inquisitive, and even ready to drop an RP out of nowhere, I apologize. I've seen way too many RPs look good only to end up smashing face first into the dirt with almost no explanation to it. I tend to see an impending crash coming from a mile away and will jump ship long before the water reaches my feet.
I enjoy most genres, including Sci-fi, Fantasy, Magic-fantasy, fandom-reworks, modern, sci-fantasy, and most things under the sun. No. I'm not going to partake in highschool or pony or anime roleplays. Outside of those, I tend to take a part in most of what peaks my interest or curiosity.
I am currently involved in an RP surrounding the exploits of the Crimson Dusicyon and her pirate crew.
As well as continuing the adventures of the manic crew of the harpoon in an infinite quest for dat poon tang.
I am currently working on several short stories that I tend to flip back and forth on depending on where I'm leaning.
I'm working on a story involving an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper trapped beneath a hundred kilos of rubble and, with her life mere hours away from being extinguished, she lets her mind wander to her past and her experiences with the dangerous anti-UNSC terrorists. I've taken to call this: Halo ODST: Rebellion.
I am also working on my most deeply thought out world and story: Sonnet of a Damned Cowboy. A story taking place hundreds of years in the future, where the earth is a barren desert due to the earth being cooked alive. The survivors make their own stories as they drive huge caravans of huge mechs called Lancers and deliver supplies from one town to another.
Finally, I am working on a Fallout based story taking place in the frozen north of Canada, old survivors of the Enclave's oppression struggle to survive in the relentless cold. Battle hardened, tired, and cold. They all know that the smallest of mistakes in the frozen wastes will be almost certain death.
Enjoy your day!

"Twenty eight...twenty nine...thirty...thirty on-two-three. Fuck out of-" He stood up from his sniping spot again as once again he was flanked and he used his rifle as a very expensive club, smashing the butt of it into the face of yet another NCR Ranger that had snuck up on him. Stunned by the strike, the Ranger didn't even see the fist to the adam's apple followed by a quick execution, snapping the neck. Deathstroke took the sequoia that was in the Ranger's thigh holster and took aim at two more that just burst out of a rooftop door and put them down before they had a chance to do anything. He let out a deep breath as he let the lifeless corpse of his meat shield ranger drop to the ground. All this running with his damn short legs wasn't getting him anywhere. He just hoped that Ginger could have warned command in time. He turned to pick up his rifle but when he bent over and grabbed it, it was stuck. He jerked on it but it didn't budge. That's when he saw it. A Camouflaged foot exit stealth and appear slowly. His eyes trailed up the tight but musclebound black suit that made up the woman that uncamouflaged in front of him. She obviously wasn't NCR and something told him she wasn't Enclave either. When the de-camoing effect reached her head, it revealed a black helmet with a red visor built in, all part of the suit. His brain told him to attack her, but his gut said to play it nice. He intended to listen to his gut. "Nice suit...going to guess that you aren't here to take me on a date." Her voice was militaristic, yet soft. Even though it was slightly distorted by the communicator in the suit. "Not yet, pretty boy. I am here to tell you something though." "And that would be?" "X7-90875" Everything went black.

This wasn't an assault against a base. It was a massacre. The NCR stood no chance. Right and left, Whisper slaughtered with Winter at her back. Her rifle was doing good work, ripping through Ranger armor and power armor alike. 12.7MM rounds were badass to say the least. The two moved into a small bunker that was on the outskirts of the base. They intended to clean up everything that wasn't caught by the Enclave soldiers. The second they stepped into the bunker, they heard shuffling. Like rad-roaches after you expose them to light. The room was dark, but it wasn't that hard to find a light switch. The second they turned it on they revealed a storeroom. Boxes and shelves all over the place. Though it would have been smart to split up and speed up the looking, the NCR were against a wall and were liable to try anything. They stuck close to each other, searching every inch carefully. They made their way to the back of the room, finding nothing but old cans of spinach and Salisbury steak. But then they heard it again, in the corner. A scurrying. They looked to find a child, a little girl. She was black haired, shoulder length, large brown eyes, dirty, a small raggedy coat on. She was hugging herself against the wall, terrified out of her mind. Though they both knew they should spare her any pity and kill her, something about her just made them lower their weapons and approach. Winter was the one to get very close however, Whisper looking over his shoulder. He squatted down to face height and lowered his scarf. "Hey there...." He said in a soft tone. "Don't worry, we're not going to hurt you. Do...do you want some chocolate?" She looked up behind teary eyes and asked "P-P-Promise?" "Cross my heart" He said and held out his hand and in it, some chocolate.
Neither of them saw it coming. The little girl grabbed his hand and pulled herself into a hug, but quickly after, a loud beeping sounded. Winter acted with lightning fast reflexes and kicked Whisper in her hip as hard as he could while restrained by this little devil. She was thrown back a little. Just as she looked she saw him say "Goodbye." Before becoming engulfed in explosive fire. Whisper was thrown back across the room by the powerful explosion, ending up impacting against a wall, but that didn't stop her. She got right back up to her feet and ran into the epicenter of the explosion. "WINTER!" She yelled. But no response. She found her way back to the corner and found the crumpled heap of the man against a wall. His dogtag stuck out on his chest. His skin was charred and severely damaged, bones were sticking out in random places from the force of the explosion and a good chunk of his left leg was vaporized. Much of his scarf remained wrapped around his neck. His face was brutalized, just as charred as his body and parts of it was missing. His eyes were still intact and were staring blankly. She knelt down and grabbed his dogtags and said a few quick words before using her hand to slide his eyes shut and mouthing "Goodbye, Winter." before standing using her comm to contact the squadmembers in range. "Whisper reporting in...Winter...he...he didn't make it. Child bomber."
____________________
Leinhart heard heart the message from Whisper and just knowing that a squadmember was killed by these NCR bastards sent him into a bloodrage. He didn't hold back, didn't try to be elegant in his killing. He simply started to kill as fast as he could. But it wasn't fast enough. Multiple communications started to come into his built-into-the-ear comm, all of Enclave starting to panic and yell about something coming from the horizon. At first he didn't understand how they could see on the horizon, but then he heard it. He looked up just as they flew over. The great Bear's Jet Bombers. The deathclaw scrambled for cover as the bombs started to drop. He barely made it into a building as it was starting to be blown apart. He made it down stairs to join archangel and Golem to warn them of what was happening. Before they knew it, there was another pass. Thankfully for the squad, reinforcements were inbound.

I realized midway through the post.
I named the capital city of the IVT and Seb's dragon the same name by complete accident. 0.0

"That is...too bad." He was actually sorry that she was doing this. "Templar bit-I mean, Annabelle put aside her hatred of me for the greater good. Guess I know what separates the girls from the women." He let go of Aurora's neck for a moment and reached back and wrenched his coat off of her and put it on himself. "I'll let you get off at Yolduga so you can go piss off and wallow in your hate of me and eventually die in prison when they catch you while Aurora, Gabe, Anna, and I tend to more important things since it's obvious that's what you want." It wasn't long before Gabe joined them mounted on Boulder. From the looks of it, Annabelle was actually enjoying the ride a bit more than Brooklyn was. When they drew close, Sebastian yelled out over the wind and beatings of wings. "First time up here?!" He yelled. "Yeah! It its...quite the site. As a Templar I cannot use magic so I cannot see what the Mages see...but I must say, it is breath taking!" Anna yelled out. For the first time since meeting her, she's lightening up. "Feels good to be free, even if the woman who has chased me for the last seven years is watching my every move!" "Not for long! Once this is over you are going straight back into the shackles!"
They were traveling very fast for two large reptiles. Turns out dragons were able to get up to very high speeds and it wasn't more than a couple hours of straight flying before they saw Yolduga Below them. While it wasn't exactly as "Tropical" as Sebastian described, it was still a very beautiful place. He pointed down towards a forest outside of the city and yelled to land there.
Once they were on the ground and hidden deep in the Tenau forest, after dismounting the first thing that Sebastian did was check his diginet uplink and he screamed with joy. "YES! Oh glory to the net! I have the diginet again! Come here DT, I want to see yah!" He clicked a button and a hologram projection came out of the bracelet. He used his hand to interact with it and accessed his digi-vault. He picked through several items. First though, he took the pistol from the island and cast it aside and clicked on a Lex and within seconds, a blue light came from his rib and quickly after, the Lex was in his holster. Next he clicked on another weapon, but not a IVT one. A Tenau one. Shortly after, a strange looking Bow, Quiver, filled with Arrows.
He stretched, feeling the weight of his bow on his back, then noticed that Anna's jaw was slightly agape as she looked at him. "What? Just because I'm IVT means I can't use a bow? Don't be so judgemental. And how didn't you know? Oh wait...I know. Every time you fricken ambushed me YOU USED AN EMP AND CUT ME OFF FROM THE NET." "Hmph" she replied. "Never bothered asking, just knew I had to capture or kill you...I recognize the quiver though...it is Elven." "Damn straight it's Elven. Don't ask why I don't use a more advanced quiver. You'll get nothing but the back of my hand and an angry foot." Finally, he clicked one last item in the vault and she Quickly appeared just behind his right foot.
Once she was finished spawning, she swiveled her head around a little and looked up at Sebastian before jumping and making several cheerful and loud electronic noises. He squatted down and let the little robot come around front and place her front two legs onto his thighs. He placed a hand on her head and smiled. "Hello DT. I missed you so much! Whats it been? Two months? Three?" The little bot just made several more electronic noises before taking her legs off of his. She looked around at the others then back at Sebastian. "The white haired one is Annabelle. Firecrotch there is Gabe and the blonde girl is Brooklyn. Brooklyn was just leaving to go live her life while heroes do work. That includes you little buddy. Come on, lets go get a drink." He stood up and looked at Anna. "They don't know my face here, right?" "We are in the Ravenwood region of the Telsoro continent. They only know you in the capital city of Sten." "Note to self, avoid Sten. I'm going to go get a drink. Been a couple months since I've had either a Chuckola Cola or a beer in my stomach. I'm dying for one."
She crossed her arms and shrugged. "While normally I don't drink, I think now might be a good time. I will joi-" "Nope. You won't be joining me, I drink alone." "Not so fast, cowboy. i am going to make sure you do not escape again by any means necessary." "Oh stuff it. If I wanted to run, I would have shot both you and your boy toy and flew off to take refuge far away from here by now. right now, we have shit to do and I'm not doing it on an empty stomach. Oh." He turned towards Aurora whom was sitting and waiting patiently. "Hey, sorry Aurora, but stay hidden. I don't mean to be rude but you and your brother stick out like firework on a cloudless night. I'm surprised we're not dealing with the law right now to be honest. I guess nobody in the ENTIRE CITY was looking up. Go figure." She nodded and looked toward her brother Boulder, whom nodded as well. "Okay, meet back here in say...two hours? We get to fly to...well, the name of the frost dragon there. Aurora." Anna spoke up now, surprise and bewilderment in her voice. "Come again? Aurora? Capital city of the entire Illuminavit empire? The one place that a Templar will be killed and ripped open by scientists in shorter time than it takes your heart to beat?" "The one place where we REALLY don't need to go to, we need to go to. Yeah. Nobody said that being a good person was easy. See you all in a couple hours, come along DT."
She made a few more electronic voices and thumped around next to Sebastian and he and her walked away and toward the city, bound to find a good place for a drink.

It looks fine to me, but to be honest, I skimmed. A lot. Only because I have to leave for work in *Checks watch* Three minutes. (Not joking).
I'll leave it up to the rest of the players to determine it fully.

Well, I'm losing the spark for this RP. I'm sorry, but I just don't feel it from this anymore, and to lie and continue would just cause my posts to get worse and worse. I'd say its for the RP. You've got the people to replace me! ITs finnnnneeeeeeeee! And I'm not close to being a good RPer here, so no big loss! I'm so sorry though.
Dude. YOu're just fine as a roleplayer. You're excellent, trust me. I was telling Granox this morning (The one thing that I said that wasn't retarded). When you make a post, no matter what anybody says, as long as you love it, it's great. If you don't love your own post, it's shit. Before you leave, lets try to, ya know, see if we can reignite it. Post ideas you have that would bring the spark back. Fuck, make a second character or something. Say what you need man.
He dismounted the dragon and ran up to Brooklyn when she started to scream at the sight of the dragon. "Woah woah woah woah, relax. No need to freak out, she's friendly." He turned back towards the dragon and pointed toward Brooklyn. "She's a friend. Don't kill...see the white haired one over there?" The dragon cocked her head and looked towards gabe and Anna across the grove. "She's evil, but don't kill her, need her...temporarily. Treat her bad though, she deserves it. The other guy is just a goon, don't kill him either. If either try to kill you however, go nuts." He looked towards brook again and smiled. "See, she's no problem. She won't kill you...well, unless you attack her. Then she'll freeze you and make you shatter...BUT. She won't do that unless you DO piss her off...I'm not helping am I? She understands what you say too, just...start a conversation. HEY TEMPLAR BITCH." He left Brook and the dragon alone for a few moments while he walked away to talk to Annabelle. "WHAT?!" she yelled, keeping her distance from the dragon. "GET YOUR GOD FEARING ASS OVER HERE." "Fuck no! Not coming any closer to that thing!" "Stop being a pansy and get over here! She'll only kill you if you look at it wrong! Besides, world's at danger right now! Magic and such!" "You can come over here to spill your filth to me!" "No way! I'll get wet!"
Meanwhile, the dragon just looked at Brooklyn, keeping eye contact with her frozen figure. She lay down and crossed her paws over one another and set her head down. A low rumble came from inside her belly. If one looked at her from the right angle, one might see a sly smile come over her just before she blew some arctic breath near Brook playfully. She yelped and jumped to one side, balancing on one foot away from the icy-flame. She pursed her lips and opened her eyes wide as her breathing became more heavy and scared. From deep within the dragon's belly, she laughed and closed her eyes, resting.
Finally, the templar conceded and had Gabe help her across the river with his body and she drew closer to the dragon. Sebastian showed her the book and the map and told her of what was going on, making sure that his voice was loud enough for Brooklyn to hear as well. Once he was finished he closed the book and gave it to her for her to look over more carefully. "I'll never believe you-" "Listen, woman. Skip your damn prejudices and stupidity. Hunt's off. Considering us four are the only beings in the world that know about this, we can stop it. We both know that the superiors aren't going to do anything about it other than blockade the island with crappy weaponry and end up doing nothing to slow him down. Put aside your pathetic little rivalry with me for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES and work with me." He was right, she knew it. She looked at the book again and read through the story again. Her brain told her that it was wrong and the story was fake and she should use this free moment to stab the bastard in the stomach, but considering that there was a dragon laying over there harrassing the other Illuminavit with icy flames, her heart was quickly overpowering her brain. "Fine. I am going to have to concede to your points. My superiors would just leave it up to the maker to sort things out instead of taking action...but that does not mean that we are going to be friends." "Like I would want to be your friend. You're probably into slave and master stuff." Her jaw dropped for the second time today as yet again she was insulted and young gabriel behind her could just swallow his pride and nod, eyeing Anna at the same time as if he had to experience such things. "Poor guy...." Sebastian thought to himself.
Another scream would set them off and make them turn towards the dragon only to see Brooklyn being lifted up into the air by the dragon as she slipped her tail underneath the back of her shirt and had her suspended with her flailing. "Hey! Don't struggle! You'll rip my coat! That thing was expensive!"
"Ahhh... Wh-What do I do!?" she whimpered. "Just sit and let it happen. I'm sure everybody gets lifted up by something bigger than them and gets something slipped into their shirt! Wait...that sounded horrible...GOOD ENOUGH."
He stepped over to the dragon, whom was having fun screwing around with the young woman hooked on her tail. "Okay, let her go. She's had enough." She seemed sad as she curved her tail and let Brooklyn slip off. She plopped to the ground and started to ball up "Do you have any other dragons on this island? I doubt you can carry all four of us. She cocked her head, looking as if in deep thought, then lifted her head high into the air and let out a loud bellow. Not soon after, several dragons of many types came from the direction of the mountain. Most just circled, seeing the newcomers and then heading back, but a brave few ventured down to join them. The female dragon approached them and hugged several with her neck, being loving to her brothers and sisters. Annabelle stepped forth to choose one with a very light skin, but Gabe refused to have any of it and decided that as his duty as her bodyguard, the dragon should be one that would be best suited for him. It was greedy, but one might never get this chance again.
He stepped forward and a dragon near the back of the group stepped forth, wanting to test him. They glared each other down for a few moments. "Just approach it...him slowly. He's like a horse...sort of. Have to let them accept you." Gabe did as he was told and approached slowly. The dragon didn't move until Gabe drew too close. Then it lowered it's head, cautiously. Just before it could get within arms reach, it looked over to it's sister frost dragon, expecting her to say something about killing Gabe, but she didn't. He lowered his head and let Gabe place a hand onto his snout. A sense of calm came over him and he stepped forward behind Gabe and settled. The other dragons took off. "Alright, lets get out of here. Hey, do you have a name?" He looked towards the female dragon and she shook her head. He thought about it for a moment before coming to a conclusion. "How does Aurora sound?" She cocked her head, thinking about the name. She knew the meaning but she was slow to grasp it. She slowly nodded her head as it took hold and she lowered her head.
He mounted her and sat right at the base of her neck. He didn't wait for Brooklyn to come with him, He and Aurora simply took off. She flew over Brooklyn and suddenly the girl found herself grabbed around the arms by her paws. Though she wasn't being pricked by them, she couldn't help but scream as the ground started to get farther way and she was lifted into the air. "Don't do anything I'll regret, Aurora." She ignored him and, after they got high enough, she released Brooklyn and let her wings curl up. As Brooklyn screamed and plummeted, Aurora fell faster underneath her and caught her on her back. She gripped onto Sebastian's torso and closed her eyes. His coat, still on her body, whipped and tore at her, threatening to carry her off even though it would never.
They ascended higher into the air and through the clouds, eventually coming out above the clouds. "Open your eyes, enjoy the view." She reluctantly did so and found herself seeing the sky at it's greatest beauty, clouds forming archs and spirals, looking fluffy enough to dive into almost. He pointed towards the east out of nowheres. "Look, you can see Centari Station." The station was huge, covering a good part of the horizon. You could even see the space elevator extending from below it to Arcadia's surface. "Part of me hopes we get to travel to new Gnisis at one point. Beautiful city. Are you alright?" His voice was sincere and low, talking between the beating of Aurora's wings.
Meanwhile, the dragon just looked at Brooklyn, keeping eye contact with her frozen figure. She lay down and crossed her paws over one another and set her head down. A low rumble came from inside her belly. If one looked at her from the right angle, one might see a sly smile come over her just before she blew some arctic breath near Brook playfully. She yelped and jumped to one side, balancing on one foot away from the icy-flame. She pursed her lips and opened her eyes wide as her breathing became more heavy and scared. From deep within the dragon's belly, she laughed and closed her eyes, resting.
Finally, the templar conceded and had Gabe help her across the river with his body and she drew closer to the dragon. Sebastian showed her the book and the map and told her of what was going on, making sure that his voice was loud enough for Brooklyn to hear as well. Once he was finished he closed the book and gave it to her for her to look over more carefully. "I'll never believe you-" "Listen, woman. Skip your damn prejudices and stupidity. Hunt's off. Considering us four are the only beings in the world that know about this, we can stop it. We both know that the superiors aren't going to do anything about it other than blockade the island with crappy weaponry and end up doing nothing to slow him down. Put aside your pathetic little rivalry with me for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES and work with me." He was right, she knew it. She looked at the book again and read through the story again. Her brain told her that it was wrong and the story was fake and she should use this free moment to stab the bastard in the stomach, but considering that there was a dragon laying over there harrassing the other Illuminavit with icy flames, her heart was quickly overpowering her brain. "Fine. I am going to have to concede to your points. My superiors would just leave it up to the maker to sort things out instead of taking action...but that does not mean that we are going to be friends." "Like I would want to be your friend. You're probably into slave and master stuff." Her jaw dropped for the second time today as yet again she was insulted and young gabriel behind her could just swallow his pride and nod, eyeing Anna at the same time as if he had to experience such things. "Poor guy...." Sebastian thought to himself.
Another scream would set them off and make them turn towards the dragon only to see Brooklyn being lifted up into the air by the dragon as she slipped her tail underneath the back of her shirt and had her suspended with her flailing. "Hey! Don't struggle! You'll rip my coat! That thing was expensive!"
"Ahhh... Wh-What do I do!?" she whimpered. "Just sit and let it happen. I'm sure everybody gets lifted up by something bigger than them and gets something slipped into their shirt! Wait...that sounded horrible...GOOD ENOUGH."
He stepped over to the dragon, whom was having fun screwing around with the young woman hooked on her tail. "Okay, let her go. She's had enough." She seemed sad as she curved her tail and let Brooklyn slip off. She plopped to the ground and started to ball up "Do you have any other dragons on this island? I doubt you can carry all four of us. She cocked her head, looking as if in deep thought, then lifted her head high into the air and let out a loud bellow. Not soon after, several dragons of many types came from the direction of the mountain. Most just circled, seeing the newcomers and then heading back, but a brave few ventured down to join them. The female dragon approached them and hugged several with her neck, being loving to her brothers and sisters. Annabelle stepped forth to choose one with a very light skin, but Gabe refused to have any of it and decided that as his duty as her bodyguard, the dragon should be one that would be best suited for him. It was greedy, but one might never get this chance again.
He stepped forward and a dragon near the back of the group stepped forth, wanting to test him. They glared each other down for a few moments. "Just approach it...him slowly. He's like a horse...sort of. Have to let them accept you." Gabe did as he was told and approached slowly. The dragon didn't move until Gabe drew too close. Then it lowered it's head, cautiously. Just before it could get within arms reach, it looked over to it's sister frost dragon, expecting her to say something about killing Gabe, but she didn't. He lowered his head and let Gabe place a hand onto his snout. A sense of calm came over him and he stepped forward behind Gabe and settled. The other dragons took off. "Alright, lets get out of here. Hey, do you have a name?" He looked towards the female dragon and she shook her head. He thought about it for a moment before coming to a conclusion. "How does Aurora sound?" She cocked her head, thinking about the name. She knew the meaning but she was slow to grasp it. She slowly nodded her head as it took hold and she lowered her head.
He mounted her and sat right at the base of her neck. He didn't wait for Brooklyn to come with him, He and Aurora simply took off. She flew over Brooklyn and suddenly the girl found herself grabbed around the arms by her paws. Though she wasn't being pricked by them, she couldn't help but scream as the ground started to get farther way and she was lifted into the air. "Don't do anything I'll regret, Aurora." She ignored him and, after they got high enough, she released Brooklyn and let her wings curl up. As Brooklyn screamed and plummeted, Aurora fell faster underneath her and caught her on her back. She gripped onto Sebastian's torso and closed her eyes. His coat, still on her body, whipped and tore at her, threatening to carry her off even though it would never.
They ascended higher into the air and through the clouds, eventually coming out above the clouds. "Open your eyes, enjoy the view." She reluctantly did so and found herself seeing the sky at it's greatest beauty, clouds forming archs and spirals, looking fluffy enough to dive into almost. He pointed towards the east out of nowheres. "Look, you can see Centari Station." The station was huge, covering a good part of the horizon. You could even see the space elevator extending from below it to Arcadia's surface. "Part of me hopes we get to travel to new Gnisis at one point. Beautiful city. Are you alright?" His voice was sincere and low, talking between the beating of Aurora's wings.

Oh yeah, should I head over to the barracks and post my character now?
Yesh. I'll get a portrait made at one point.
Also, if you guys want to screw around in the pirate pad, go right ahead. Mind the shameless shenanigans in the chat.
I probably won't be making a post tonight, but tomorrow (my day off) will probably be likely.
