The molarity of pure water is 55.5 mol/L. Is it just me, or is that number super satisfying?

I find I'm much more productive when I make a list of check marks, then write whatever I end up doing next to them.

I'm a grammar communist. Everyone has a right to grammar in equal amounts.

I always either have lots of inspiration but no motivation, or tons of motivation and no inspiration. I'm not sure which sucks more.

@Rai@WingsOfBronze found this RP and just had to make up a CS! Please tell me if there are any problems
"F.E.A.R. has two meanings- forget everything and run or face everything and rise. The choice is yours."
Name: Alexis Emaura Age: 29 Blood%: 20% Seraphim, 80% Sol Gender: Female Sex Preference: Bi Height: 5'2" Weight: That's a secret. (She's lighter than she looks.) Physical appearance: See picture above.
Personality: Alexis is a kind-hearted person, and it's obvious that she cares about almost everyone she meets on some level. There are very few people that she considers friends however, and even fewer that she truly trusts. She's open and easy to read, she doesn't try to hide her thoughts or emotions at all, but she can and will lie if she thinks it will spare someone else any amount of pain. She is slow to anger, and even slower to forgive, for if she truly loses patience with someone, she believes that no matter what they do next they aren't worthy of her kindness anymore. She is energetic, always doing something with movement or words. She enjoys the company of others, and relishes debate and conversation. Faction: Taxis (hopeful) Pet: None Exp: She's been training since she was 20 in the hopes of joining the Taxis guild. Many hours spent on practice have made the two spells she knows more than enough than she needs in terms of her magic abilities, and twice as much time spent using and practicing with her bow have made her an incredibly accurate shot. She has been able to use all of her blood-given abilities since she was born, but it took time to get certain ones, such as mind reading and telekinesis as well as her ability to manipulate plants, under control. Brief description on your character's training. Spells: Pause - Stops time in the space between one heartbeat and the next. This only affects a 15 meter radius around her, and the bubble of paused space moves as she does with her at the center at all times. She herself is also 'paused' while this spell is in effect; her heart doesn't beat and she has no need to breathe, and she cannot bleed while pause is in effect, but if she is wounded while in pause the wound will begin to affect her as soon as the spell is dropped. Gravity still works and inanimate moving objects from outside the bubble are unaffected if they are entering it, however all things that were in the bubble to start with are frozen until she moves away from them or drops the spell. The spell lasts until it is dropped or until Alexis runs out of energy. Light's Blessing - Uses any nearby or ambient light to energize a person, causing any wounds to heal either immediately for more minor wounds, or up to 300% faster for major wounds, for so long as the spell is in effect. The spell lasts until Alexis runs out of focused light energy. Abilities/Powers: Bright Light Resistance Soul Detection Psychic Detection Mental Communication Mind Reading Astral Projection Telekinesis Force Field Plant Manipulation Plant Energy Absorption *natural Glow (Not very bright, but noticeable in dim light. In total darkness she can clearly light about a half foot radius around her.) *Light as a Feather (Gravity doesn't weigh on her as heavily. She's not very physically strong or dense, she floats in water even when weighted down by her clothes and armor, though with them on she seems more like a normal person. She can't do anything like jump higher than other people- that would require more strength than she has.) *Speedy (due to being as light as she is, she can move rather quickly, and naturally does everything just a little faster than everyone else.) Weapons: The bow pictured in her outfit above, and a dagger she keeps hidden on her person at all times. History: Alexis was the eldest child in her family, who lived on the edge of the forests outside the capitol of the Vrondi territory. She would go into the city almost every day to study and learn what she could about healing, ascension, and magic. She's learned a few spells, but can only use two of them to any real ability right now. She's been diligent in her practice and training since she was 20 years old, when she decided that she wanted to use her life to help as many others as she could. She had a few friends who shared her thirst for knowledge and her desire to do good in the world, and about 3 years ago they all decided to travel the land together in order to better train their abilities. As of a little less than a year ago now, she is the only survivor of that group. The others, all her friends, have died in one way or another, leaving her alone. Still, she focuses on her goals while holding them in her memories.
Despite the horrors she has seen in the world and the tragedies she's faced, Alexis continues on. She's still young, especially when compared to any other Descended she knows. She takes the world in stride and hopes to one day ascend herself. Trivia: Likes: Talking to people, expressive colors (her favorite is red), long walks in the sunlight, and trying new things. Dislikes: Complete darkness, humid air, people who openly show that they have no care for others at all, and underground places. Fears: Small enclosed spaces, ghosts (real or fake), and uncontrolled flames. Deepest Desire: To stay up all night, just watching the night sky until dawn. One peaceful night.
Made for her by a friend who died shortly after. It's nothing special, except for the sentimental value it has to her. She doesn't like to speak about it or the person who gave it to her. She only uses it in emergencies, as she prefers to use her bow when possible.
granted. Everyone on earth is now completely and totally nihilistic, and everyone agreed with each other about it! There are no more optimists or pessimists, religion has no meaning, and the entire human race is now super depressed because of this.
But no one died from that specifically!
I wish I could live in space. like, no need to breathe or eat or anything, I just want to have a house in the vast nothingness and look at the stars in the distance all the time as I contemplate the meaning of life.
@Mokley I've made a post! I ended it a little sooner than I had planned, as I'm not sure how much 'players controlling NPCs' you're okay with. I'm just gonna have him get his look together and maybe get a decent sword or something before he tries to go after the girl.
They only need the stones to capture the things, right? If Sora just wants to kill them can he do that with a sword or something, or are they not affected by such weapons?
Not even a second after he'd finished speaking, a chorus of screams rose up outside. Faster than Aster or anyone else watching would've thought possible of the young man, Sora was outside the theater and scanning the scene for the source of the uproar. It only took a second for him to realize the caravan across the way was under attack, though by what was a question he couldn't answer. He crossed the square, getting back to the monastery just in time to hear Kelodie's brief explanation of what was going on.
Sora took one of the stones from the bag just after Howell did, a bright blue gem which he held tightly, hidden perfectly in his closed fist as he stepped to the very edge of the shadows in the doorway, watching the scene outside for a moment as he thought. The girl's screams rang out louder than any noise he could remember, and he flinched at the sound. He felt the urge to go and help, or try to at least, but his conscience seemed slower to revive than the rest of him. Innocent people were never any of his concern before, why should they be now, when he really had nothing to gain from helping them?
He listened to Howell and Kelodie's conversation, until Kelodie ran off and Howell still stood there, lost in his own thoughts as the scene outside grew only more desperate. Sora saw one of the people from the caravan, a woman, starting to come over to the monastery. He left before she could get there, disappearing into the shadows as he reached the treeline, making his way over to the caravan. He wasn't sure why he was bothering to do this, he was right in thinking that he probably had nothing to gain from helping these people, but he also knew that he was not supposed to even be alive at all right now. If he was going to be an abomination, he might as well try to be a useful one, right?
A flash of colors caught his eye as he got to the caravan. A bird-like creature had appeared among the rest, and considering it was eating the little black things, it didn't seem all that friendly to them. He froze, taking cover behind a tree as the a few of the people's stray bullets came close to hitting him, before ducking out and tossing the strange little blue stone at the deer-shaped bird. It seemed to pass into the bird-thing's head, before the creature squawked one last time and dissipated into vapor, which then was sucked into the stone itself as it fell to the ground. He went to pick it up as a loud screech rang out from somewhere, causing all the other little beasts to run back into the forest.
Sora glanced through the trees at the retreating monsters before turning to face the remains of the caravan. People were no longer shooting blindly at the air now, though he could hear some who were deeper in the forest, calling out the name of the taken child. He took a second to think before stepping out into the sunlight to address the people of the caravan. What would he say? He walked up to one of the small groups of men standing nearby, bowing his head slightly in greeting before he spoke.
"Excuse me. I think, I may be able to help you get the girl back from those creatures. But, if I am to help you, could you help me first?" He gestured to himself, pulling the hood of his borrowed robe down as he did so the men could see his face. "I need a proper outfit, as well as some decent weapons since this," He held up the blue stone, which now pulsed with a mixed orange and blue light, "Seems to have only one use."
Ok, I really feel Like I'm less active here than a literal bump on a log. At first I was just waiting on @RedXCross to reply but they've been MIA for three full months now... I'm gonna have Sora jump back into the action now, maybe go up to the folks at the caravan and try to get his outfit back up to par.
Edit: Whatever clothes or supplies you might want, you can assume the caravan has it.
"Yes, hi. Would you happen to have any high-grade sleeping powder? Also I need 7 different knives of varying shape and size, a pair of shortswords -with the scabbards if you have them, and I think a plain black bodysuit to go under this robe would do for proper clothing. I can make a mask later, for now this hood works just fine, don't you think?"
"I-is that all?"
"Oh, well I'd prefer to make my own poisons.. but I'll take any you have if you don't mind. I will if you do mind too. It's always good to be prepared."
@Burthstone I would assume so! Please join, more people is always a good thing, especially when there's people like me who haven't made an IC post in five months...
@Thread Generator SIN I'm ALIVE! I swear! ok, well.. I did die, but thankfully I was able to LOAD up my last SAVE.
I'm so, SO sorry I disappeared. I can't even explain why I did, it just happened. Luckily, There's a lot of stuff I can reply to and I have nothing else to do and nothing will distract me! so.. I'ma get a post up. like now. In fact I already posted it before I dared to post here just so I wouldn't break this promise. BOOM!
