okay, Villain in the house! If you don't want the barkeep dead you could just say he survived somehow, otherwise I was just trying to have her make an entrance.

"You've made your last mistake old man..." A calm female voice spoke, echoing softly around the room as the source of the sound appeared in the doorway of the bar, a dark mist swirling together until it formed a person in a dark hooded cloak out of the air. The woman's mouth was just barely visible under the shadow of her hood as she smirked at the bartender, her lips not moving even though her words could be heard by all in the tavern, clear as day.

"You on the other hand, Barbarian. I've been looking forward to meeting you for quite some time?" She phrased the statement as a question as her form walked closer to the man at the bar, her footsteps making no sound as she crossed the room, passing through patrons, tables, and chairs alike as if she were merely a vision made of smoke. Those wise enough to recognise this form of magic began to back away from the woman, some even going so far as to simply get up and leave the bar. Once she was close enough to the men they might notice the necklace she wore, a symbol of those loyal to the Mad God. Her eyes began to glow a soft yellow as she turned her gaze on the bartender, a smile on her face as he backed away in fear.

"Any last words?" She cut him off before he could say anything, her smile revealing wicked sharp fangs in the corners of her mouth now as a dark smokey wind sprang up around the man. "You say you want no part of this, but you became a part of it the second you were told to relay the message. You should have known better than to think that we'd leave you un-sup-er-vised." As she drew out the syllables of the word the black smoke in the air began to cut into the man's flesh, deep red lines covering his body as it fell to the floor behind the bar. She looked at him for a moment as he lay there, before Tching at the sight.

"Not even worth killing, not at all..." She mumbled to herself, her mouth actually moving as she used her real voice for the first time since stepping into the tavern. The cloak made it hard to tell, but her voice definitely gave it away now that she wasn't using any magic to enhance it. She was young, and now that she was standing still many would probably guess by her height that she was still just a teenager (she's not) -though there was no mistaking the fact that this woman was definitely a follower of the Mad God, considering she'd just killed a man for his purposes.

She shook her head slightly, her gaze turning to meet the Barbarian's as her eyes began to glow brighter, the yellow glare from underneath the shadows of her hood an unsettling sight as she spoke to Hrothgar, using her mental voice again. "He's served his purpose though, just as you will serve yours." She grinned at him, continuing. "I'm here to tell you that you have no chance against dear Max, although all of us are going to enjoy seeing you try to bring him down. So, gather as many as you can who are as willing and as dumb as you are to try and take up swords against him. You'll need all the help you can get."

-EDIT-
I'm going to start adding stuff to this as I keep fleshing out her character in my mind, and then as more stuff happens IC.

Alice, Vampire and follower of the Mad God

Name:
Alice

Species:
Human.. probably
She's been afflicted by Vampirisim

Age:
Approximately 22
She looks 17 because that's when she was turned

Abilities/Powers/Traits:
Magical Ability and Knowledge
Gained from her time as a mage's apprentice and her continued practice and studies since then.

Alice is well-versed in Mystical artes and can cast high-level spells and rituals without much difficulties, so long as she has the spell-book and all the necessary ingredients with her. Without the book, there are only a few spells she can cast which she has memorized. One of these spells will send someone's soul to Mad Hell when she casts it on them, and another is a spell that will summon a portal so she can go there herself.

Vampirism
She was turned about 5 years ago.

Alice is able to drink the blood of another living being as a means of healing herself in a pinch, but this gives her a weakness as well. She must feed at least every two days in order to stay in control of herself. Sunlight and garlic and all those other stereotypical ways of repelling vampires don't actually work on her, though stabbing her through the heart with a silver blade or a wooden stake will definitely kill her, and the sunlight is harsh on her eyes and skin -thus she wears a dark cloak all the time. She has the ability to sense living beings and any blood nearby, and all her senses are heightened as well as her physical strength and speed because of the vampirism.

Shadow Manipulation
An ability gained through her service to the Mad God.

Alice is able to move through Shadows at will and can use them as a weapon, often creating a vortex of smoke-like shadows around her as a shield when she's on the defense, or using that same vortex to surround an enemy and kill them by closing the sharp shadows in on them. In complete darkness or complete light, there are no shadows she can control, however. At night, she can turn her body into shadows in order to move quickly through things and crowded places, making her body entirely intangible for a time.

Mental Communication
A power she's had since birth, this is one of the reasons she questions if she was ever truly human or not.

Alice can talk to people through her mind just as easily as speaking out loud, and they can think back to her what they want to say so long as she keeps the line open. She can communicate with anyone within a certain distance of herself (10 meter radius), even through walls and such, and when she speaks like this she is able to control exactly how her voice sounds, even able to make herself sound like a man if she wanted. The sound of her voice always seems to echo slightly when she uses this ability however, so there's always a way to tell if the words are just being heard in your mind or if they are actually being spoken out loud.

Eyes
Her eyes glow when she's using any of her abilities or magic. The color of the glow ranges from blood red to bright yellow, and the color tells how well-fed she is in terms of her Vampirisim. Red if hungry, and Yellow if good. When her eyes aren't glowing, they are just a normal dark brown color.

Bio:
(Will be edited and added to over time as stuff is also revealed IC)

Alice was a mage's apprentice in the capital city of the Janus province, a state to the south which was ruled by a duke who was loyal to the Kaiser of the Teutonic Empire but without much real power himself. She and her master lived in the castle as the duke's resident mages

@aspie3000 do we need to post a CS to play? or can I just intro my Character right now?
also, are we allowed to play villains? like, someone loyal to Loki the mad god?

..::Ascension::..

@WingsOfBronze what's going on?

..::Ascension::..

@FallenTrinity
Eventually, yes. I'm hoping he gets the chance to kill them too
Though I should warn you Alexis is going to try and save their life even if it costs her hers...

The scene I'm thinking of writing with you would be when that happens. Alexis will be going to confront this person, and Suley or anyone else who feels like they want to follow her will be able to find out who the person is that way -but everyone else would find out the next day anyway, when I have this person openly come to try and kill Alexis as the beginning of the last part of the plot.

-EDIT-
[deleted the edit, it was dumb and made things I was trying to explain just more confusing]

..::Ascension::..

@Vesuvius00

so its not taking place on the battlefield, save for the trigger event?

@FallenTrinity

no, it's not.

The plot itself is gonna be happening all over the place, everywhere the party will go. The person behind it all is already after Alexis, this battle is just their chance to finally catch up- and with the confusion of the battle around no one will really notice one little intentional slip up, will they? After the trigger they have to keep following her though, to make sure their plan works. Ruining a person's will to live takes a while, and a lot of work.

..::Ascension::..

@Vesuvius00

So @Sohtem and myself have already done a collaboration which I feel everyone has enjoyed and the next one I want to do is one involving Alexis, Sulley and Soron (for when the shit hits the fan for Alexis and her psyche). If we do we can discuss the direction you would like to go with it and ill see what I can do to help it out, that is, if you're up for it?

If so we can do it on the next round of posts which would mean the battle in IC is well underway (imo)

just lemme know ^^

@FallenTrinity

I'd love to do a collab! Though, my current plan actually has this stuff happening slowly over enough IC time so it can weave in her character development along with the development of her relations with other characters.. so I hope you're okay with the setting not being what's currently going on IC, because that's just not gonna work. More than likely nothing's gonna happen with her plot until a few IC days after the trigger event (which, the trigger will probably be in my next post after the one I'm working on now) but even then that's not the big moment, it's just the beginning still.

I can PM you if you want to try and collab out the actual 'shit hits the fan' moment- the point when someone other than Alexis finds out what's really going on. I do have an inkling of how that's gonna start to play out so it shouldn't be much of a stretch to start a collab with that, and I'm really interested to have your input on this plot of hers.

..::Ascension::..

@FallenTrinity RL always comes before RP. but still, I hope you settle in quick and the place is nice!

I always hated moving because everything changes and you feel like it's not your home for a while, you know? I hope you don't get that feeling.
