We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[HEADING=2]Welcome to We Are Our Avatars VI[/HEADING]

Ahem. Welcome to We Are Our Avatars VI, or WAOAVI for short. My name is Saltyk, and I will be acting as the Game Master for this thread. That means that I am more or less the man to blame for everything here. Unlike most previous WAOA threads, this one will be taking place in a world of my own creation. Though, I did have help from my Co-GMs, who I will introduce shortly. I hope you enjoy this experience, and will do my best to make this a fun game.

Anyone who needs help can feel free to PM me. This [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Saltyk] is my profile. Feel free to use it to reach me, if you need to. You can also access my profile by clicking on my name by any post I ever make.

My Co-GMs will be Nailik and Zepherus14.

Zepherus14's profile: Click here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Zepherus14]

Please note that we have a TVTropes [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatarsEscapist] page. It's not got everything, but still: Read at your own Risk!

We also have a WAOA User Group. Click Here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/We-Are-Our-Avatars-OOC-Group] to go to our page. Please join up and use this as much as possible for conversation and miscellaneous things like that.

Enough of that. Let's get on with the rules.

Rules

You play your Avatar. You have that character's powers, personality, etc. You can play an Original Character (OC), but please try to find a picture that fits them.

You have to contribute to the plot in some way.
Either by adding to a conversation, fighting, or getting past obstacles (picking locks, hijacking cars etc).

You control your character ONLY.
You can't use other players' characters. UNLESS: the character is plot-necessary, but the player is unable to post (must act in character. If you are in this position, it would help if you asked another player beforehand to take over your character).
This also includes other player's NPC characters. This is especially important of the NPCs of this thread. Don't even assume how unnamed civilians will react.

No Over-Powered Characters
-Characters can't instant-kill other characters (killing should be pre-decided)
-Characters should be weakened if they attack too often
-Characters shouldn't have too many different combat moves.
And please try to explain powers simply. You may be a genius on your character's universe, but other players mightn't have even HEARD of them before.

No excessive posts
Just saying
"Dave opened the door and turned on his torch. He looked around and saw the desk, with the plans on it."
is good enough. We don't need a few paragraphs about his thoughts and feelings, and an accurate description of the room and plans.
Still you should describe the actions your character takes. Just saying that they introduce themselves or that they killed someone, tells no one what has happened. Show, don't tell.

Character Limit
Please no more than three characters. This will assist you in keeping your posts quick, and will make it easier for everyone to keep track of the characters.
Note: Exceptions can be made if you want to run a Sub-Plot, but a GM should be informed of this.

Keep the Fanservice to a minimum
As this tends to be frowned upon by most players, you should refrain from needlessly sexualizing your character. Nor do we need all the details of any sexual activities that they may undertake.

Posts MUST Make Sense
-If it isn't from your character's universe, they don't know what it is.
-If you break this rule, the nonsensical post is retconned.

GMs word is law
This means that anything the Co-GMs or I say goes. If you have a dispute with a fellow player, please ask or PM me or one of my Co-GMs. If a conversation is required, we will take it up in the Group Chat to avoid filling the thread with unfortunate banter and such.
-If a judgement is required, the current GM will resolve it. His ruling is final.
-I can veto my Co-GMs, but if both of them agree, they can veto me.

Thread Specific Information

Please be aware that your actions will have consequences. If your character decides to randomly kill a person that will be found out and they will have to pay for that. But, if they act noble that can also have benefits.

There are things to be said for exploring.

New User Section

This is just a few simple things for those new to WAOA. However, I'd say that even the veterans may wish to read this as well.

Things you should know
-OOC means Out Of Character. Use this if you want to ask a question or make a suggestion.
-Use @[player name]: to address a player. A simple way to inform them of something in a Out of Character statement.
-OP means over-powered.
-Use italics for thoughts. [*i]text[*/i] without the *
-If a player missed a few pages, please give them a summary (a few lines explaining what you did since their last post).
-If you have to leave, either kill your character or put them On A Bus (give a valid reason for them to leave, ie they fell into a temporary wormhole).

[HEADING=2]EXPECT SPOILERS[/HEADING]
This RP is probably going to contain at least minor spoilers from character universes, like references to who can live or die in Mass Effect or what happens in the most recent Bourne book or film. Please don't react negatively: it might affect the character in a big way, and you could end up confused as to why the character is acting 'out of character' from your perspective.

Grouping
From time to time, we get in major and large group battles. At those times, the person controlling the battle will ask for who is getting involved. Once everyone confirms, they will assign those people into two or more groups, and begin the battle calling for that Group's reactions. Once those players have replied, the person controlling the battle will react to all of their posts and move on the the next group. This continues until the conflict is resolved.

Participants are not to post a reaction until it is the turn of the group they are in.

General Advice
-Your character should stay in character. Batman shouldn't start a standup routine.
-This has sort of been covered already, but your character should not know things that they have not been told. They shouldn't recognize characters from other universes, or have knowledge of events that have not happened in front of them, or things they have not been told.
-This thread tends to move fast. So if you post and come back an hour later, during the busy times, multiple pages may have passed. If you need a summary, feel free to ask.
-If you need to leave for extended periods of time, please inform others so they know not to expect a reply from you.
-The most memorable characters don't have to have dark pasts, or epic powers. They just have to feel like real people that players can relate to. Even a comical character with a charming heart of gold, can be great fun.
-Keep in mind where you are. You shouldn?t find a weapons cache of nuclear arms in a medieval castle.

The Codex

What is this?
This is simply to be a tool for the player. This is to be a reference for you to access to keep track of information. Keep in mind that just because it is listed here, does not mean your characters will know any of this information. It is a tool for you, NOT the character. This will also help keep track of what has happened in the thread.

What will be included?
Information on various characters, places, events, and anything else that is important.

Can my characters, plots, and various information be included?
Yes. But please send me what you want to add EXACTLY as you want to add it via PM. I will be copying/pasting that information directly into a section for your information. You will receive your own section with a spoiler box under each heading.

How will this be updated?
Unfortunately, as this is my post, only I can edit it. But I will try to keep up with it and add any information that needed to be added while I was away.

If you have any other questions, I will address them, and, if needed, add it to this section. Thank you. I hope you find this tool useful.

Hair color: Brown
Height: 5' 10"/1.78M

A skilled scout, assassin, saboteur, you name it. He is a highly loyal and talented member of Legaia. He uses, a stealth equipped exo-suit capable of not only rendering him invisible to sight, but also heat detection. It's capable of moving at great speeds when needed. Carries a laser pistol, and a knife, sharpened to the atomic level. Suit is equipped with sleep darts.

He's highly decorated and even prevented Xiphatia from producing a weapon that would weaponize their very magical essence to render technology exposed to it useless at best, explosive at worst. No one knows if it would have worked, but thanks to him that includes the enemy.

Reports to Idula. Highly respects the woman.

Weapons

A man who seeks nothing but power and to gain rank. He sees the current peace as an obstacle to his rank and his position in the Legaian Forward Defense Base as a practical death sentence on his military career. As a result, he sort of enjoys the prospect of the looming war with Xiphatia, as it is the only way he could gain rank.

He's also known to ransack local homes after battles, and keeping the spoils for himself. There are even rumors of him taking other spoils as well. He also not very well liked by his men, due to the way he treats his officers, as little more than servants.

Weapons
Mid-range power armor: Some of the toughest armor available. Also, increases physical strength.
Heavy assault rifle with bayonet: An oddity in the Legaian military, especially for a high ranked officer. This gun fires standard bullets. However, it is better at piercing shields than most other weaponry.

Sex: Female
Eye color: Blue
Hair color: Blonde
Height: 5?7?/1.7M

A young scientist obsessed with energy. She constantly studies and works on energy. She has even pondered what would happen if one were to gather all the energy in the universe. A rival to Professor Soto.

Hair color: Right half is white, left half is black
Height: 6'/1.83M

A young man with odd choice in hair colors. He says it makes him unique. He might simply be doing it as a desperate cry for attention. He works in the quarry, but also works as an Amateur inventor.

Weapons
Cybernetic Right Eye: Can't be tricked and can detect almost any target.

Synthetic Automated Techical Assault Nanites: Also known as S.A.T.A.N. (though he hates that name), these devices are capable of replicating nigh anything.

These are housed in his arms and can repair them when needed.

Hair color: Purple
Height: 5' 6"/1.68M

A beastkin catgirl. However, she has built up some respect in the local population and procured a potent custom Battlemech. It's said she received it from a mad scientist from Fourside. No one knows if that is true, though.

She took to sculpture and hoped to make a living out of it. However, she was never really able to accomplish much with it. She had worked several jobs, but never really stayed anywhere for long. Several months ago, she met Marco Crux, and went out to meet him with some of her work. However, it was a trap to force her into his brothel.

Born to a race of people with what could be considered an odd case of introversion, she led a fairly average life for a city dwelling girl. At a young age she was discovered to have Psionic talent, and as such was sent to a school to learn control over psychic abilities.

She went on to become an Arcanologist, a scientist in the field of study regarding things supernatural. She focuses on the study of magic, or as her field of study defines it, "Any supernatural force cultivated or naturally occurring that alters reality beyond the realm of standard physics".

She is incredibly curious, and pursues anything that piques her interest with as much vigor as she can muster. However, the nature of her curiosity often leads her to seem somewhat callous towards the more 'human' elements that coincide with her desire to learn. Due to her people's oftentimes violent relations with the 'outside world', she is quite skittish and will do just about anything to avoid violent confrontations.

Psychoportation: The ability to manipulate how objects travel through time and space with one's own mind. Mostly known for allowing instantaneous movement between two points, it also allows for acts such as altering space in an area to slow down or speed up the objects within the space.

Low-Level Telepathy: The most basic form of mental communication. Allows for the reading of surface thoughts, as well as the setup of a mental link to allow for communication between two individuals under nearly any circumstances.

Magic Sense: Allows for the sensing of magic and its presence like any other sensation.

Military Protection Tool: A general purpose tool that allows for several functions to be performed, such as:
-Stunning and Incapacitating people non-lethally
-Reducing small objects or small chunks of objects to dust
-Measurement of distances and masses
-Generate Light
-Knocking objects or foes away with a burst of force

Lyra 'Long Fang' Reed
Age: 26
Sex:Female
Eye color: Green eyes
Hair color: Red hair, dyed black
Height: 6'2"/1.88M

Formerly the child ofa hunter and his wife, Lyra was orphaned and grew up in isolation in the Canadian wilderness. Her mother died when she was the age of six, to a cancer that she had hid from her family in the hopes of keeping happiness for a little longer. Her father died when she was 16, a self inflicted gunshot wound that had left no suicide note. She spent close to 5 years alone in the wilderness, becoming a master hunter and surviving through her skills alone. When she was 21 she headed out for what she thought would be the last time, planning to end her miserable life of loneliness and regret in a place where she could feed those she had fed upon.

There she met Long Fang, the good old predator leader of the wolves from WAOA IV! He brought her in and taught her the ways of the predator, along with 9 other disciples. She has led them after his death, growing the group and adding ships, as well as allying other predator clans with her in the fight for her clans survival. she is the focus of the clan, her job to ensure that they not fragment and become weak enough to be picked off by the enemy clans.
She's a bit of a loner, uncomfortable with her leadership position as long fang of the wolves, and prefers sniping, from her days of hunting. Her gear is built accordingly to support that belief.

Equipment
She carries a high powered rifle that she used to hunt, originally given to her by her father, a former canadian sniper himself.It has been heavily modified so that looking through the scope gives her the same benefits of wearing a predator helmet, without it blocking her sight.
Her helmet is low cut, and only covers her mouth and chin, as more a safeguard against tear gas then as a protection against bullets.
She also carries with her 4 small sniper drones, able to take instrunctions from a special sight installed in the sniper, which allows her to set up a multiple shot kill all on her lonsesome.
She does not have many of the predator tools herself, keeping only 2 carving blades and a bracer communicator, designed to allow her to cloak and call her fellow clan members in times of stress when she can not handle the fight alone.

Abilites
Has a great skill with the sniper, prodigious strength, and some charisma, though she has not quite figured out how to use it well.

"There are always risks if you're trying to actually do something."

An orphan left in the city of scholars, Aspio, Rita grew up with no friends or family, instead putting all her focus on research after she turned 10 and has continued for 5 years. Contrary to what her young age would make one believe, Rita is actually one of, if not the most, intelligent mages of Aspio, the city of scholars. Despite this, she was treated as a weirdo due to her obsession with research and with blastia. Blastia are crystal like objects that can do a great deal of things, such as allowing people to cast magic, and shielding entire cities from monster attacks. She has lived poor and alone until the events of "Tales of Vesperia."

Due to her being ostracized by the community, she doesn't have a good social disposition. She is quick to recognize the shortcomings of the people around her and isn't afraid of sharing it. She is a nice person at heart though, and will learn to like those around her fairly quickly, though she may not show it.

Far too many to name, a large number of destruction spells, no healing. To clarify, she spends a great deal of her time discovering new ways to use blastia, often for offensive purposes, an extremely useful skill in a dangerous world. Her abilities revolve around fire, water, ground, and shadow elements. She also seems to be working on a devestating spell that would combine the powers of all 4 of these elements.

Magic Scroll or whip A magically powered melee weapon, it is almost never used.
Book of Spells Also containing her research notes, her large book of incantations is, well, a spell book. May also be used to bop idiots on the head.

Laguna was once a soldier for the imperialist nation of Galbadia. However, when he was wounded and declared Missing In Action, he was nursed back t health by the residents of a small village. Deciding to stay, Laguna became one of the guards patrolling the town, protecting it from monster attack, eventually marrying a local and adopting a small girl. When the girl was kidnapped, Laguna went on a year-long journey around the world to find her. Despite getting her back safe, Laguna never returned, due to becoming president of another nation during his trip and having to stay there. At some unknown point, the Goddess of Harmony Cosmos pulled him into another world to serve as one of her warriors.

Laguna is good through and through. He avoids fights if possible, and acts very fatherly to his allies, trying to help them at all times. When pushed however, he will fight long and hard to protect what he cares about. Despite seeming idiotic and being very goofy, he is quite cunning and perceptive. Sometimes, if he is nervous, his leg cramps up and he needs a second to get it back to normal.

Tactical Gunner: During his time serving Cosmos, Laguna gained quasi-magical abilities. He has the ability to almost instantly summon and dismiss any firearm he?s previously used at will, along with a stationary energy shield, grenades, various rocket launchers, sticky bombs and unlimited amounts of rope.
Look, the Faeries are here! : While it is unclear exactly how it works, Laguna poses the ability to, at certain times, upgrade his gun-based magic. His weapons gain a gold glow, and he can summon and dismiss them even faster than normal or even during mid-attack. This supermode also gives him access to his ultimate attack, Desperado.

Assault Rifle: While he can summon any firearm he has used previously, he favours his Galbadian assault rifle. It is fully automatic with a 30-round clip. Due to his gun-based magic, he can summon and dismiss it at will, it never breaks or jams, it is hardened enough to be used as a club in melee combat, and it never runs out of ammo.
Ragnarok Cannon: Laguna?s most powerful weapon, the Ragnarok Cannon is a large laser cannon capable of destroying almost anything. It as three firing modes: a concentrated laser beam, an energy ball that fragments into cluster of smaller homing energy balls, and a laser blade. The cannon is very heavy and requires two hands to operate, slowing Laguna down considerably.

Cold, calculating, pitiless and manipulative. Once Loki has his sights set on a goal, he persues it patiently, but relentlessly, not caring who he needs to step on to get what he wants. Any compasion or sign of goodwill is likely to be a ruse to get him closer to accomplishing his goals.
While this isn't appearant, Loki is an conflicted man--While self-centered and narcissistic, believing himself to be better then everyone else, this ultimately stem from deep-seated insecurities.

Superhuman Strength: In stark contrast to his thin, weak-looking frame, Loki posseses various superhuman propperties as a result of his lineage. This strength extends to being able to jump great distances.

Superhuman Durability: Loki has an extreme resistance to injuries, able to shrug off many types of wounds. Most notably is his resistance to the cold, as Loki is able to easily withstand sub-zero temperatures.

Superhuman Speed/Agility: Loki is able to move at increddible speeds, being fast enough to catch an arrow fired at him in mid-flight.

Sorcery: Loki is a master of magic. He can create illusions, including copies of himself, posseses short-range "teleportation", and can influence people with his mind and is able to exert a more potent hypnotic control when using his sceptre directly on people. He can also completely conceal himself and others, preventing detection by any means. Loki can also summon objects in is possesion out of thin air. He can also alter his attire whenever he wills it.

Cold Manipulation: Loki can manifest and control use, using it to trap a target, although the ice is relatively slow moving. He can also freeze objects and enemies on touch.

Scepter: Loki's main weapon. This peculiar weapon was given to him by a mysterious benefactor. Aside from being able to fire potent energy projectiles from the gem, the scepter comes with two blades that encircle the gem, one longer then the other. Its most unique function is that it can bend the hearts and minds of targets, making them a follower of the wielder of the scepter. Although those affected by this retain their personalities. The eye colour of those that have been affected changes into a light blue.

Throwing knives: These knives are about the size of one's hand and resemble a kunai.

Age: 15
Height: 5 feet
Hair and Eye color: Gray and Aqua respectively

Echo is the daughter of a simple family of musicians. She lives in a world of various kinds of magic and mythical creatures. She has a mother, father, older brother, and a younger sister that she is very close to. She has a good relationship with most of her family most of the time. She also has an aunt, who she has a rocky relationship with. She was cursed by this aunt and made that she could no longer say anything or make any noise on her own (except for making music on her harmonica). She must repeat things when she is spoken to, and her voice holds a very similar sound to that of the person that had spoken to her.

Echo is a rather normal teen girl physically and is not very strong or fast or smart. She is a musician and knows only a little magic. What she knows is mainly in the illusion category. She can manipulate light, dazzling her enemies with bright flashes and loud noises. In addition to this, she can make herself and other things invisible for short periods of time. She has no weapons to speak of, except for a wand which can be used to focus and enhance her magic. She may or may not be able to do more than this. We'll see what she remembers being taught over time.

She is a normal enough teen girl in this regard as well: She is talkative, friendly, energetic, personable, flighty, and generally a good person. She has a bit of an attitude however, and this usually gets her into trouble. Unfortunately she doesn't talk nearly as much as she used to.

Age: Unknown/pubescent
Height: 5'5"
Hair and Eye color: Blond and Red respectively

A resident of the Kaka Village and member of the Kaka Tribe, Taokaka is a catgirl, wearing a large coat that obscures her face, only exposing red eyes and a row of sharp teeth; whether or not this is her true face is still a mystery. She wants to get back the sky above her village, which was sealed off. She also wants to get strong so she can defend her home and her friends. Despite this resolve, she is considerably food-obsessed and forgetful, often falling asleep on a whim, becoming hungry moments after a meal, or forgetting details moments after hearing them because. She doesn't refer to anyone (other than herself) by name and instead prefers to use nicknames of her own creation.

Tao is a very talented fighter. She relies on her inborn instincts as opposed to a trained fighting style, and she naturally uses seithr (magic), even without a formal education as to how. Her hands and feet also have large retractable metal claws. What's more, these claws seem to change slightly depending on what attack she wants to do at the time; even though they seem to default as curved, knife-sized flat metal blades, they can also appear as serrated saws, "can-opener" style hooks, or even more ornate blades that resemble arrowheads. What she lacks in strength, she makes up for in agility and speed and extreme mobility, wailing on her opponents and catching them off guard with lightning fast, unpredictable maneuvers and techniques.

Taokaka is the personification of innocence in the BlazBlue world. She is a happy-go-lucky catgirl who only wishes the best for her friends and family. Her only desire is to protect those she holds dear to her heart, or who offer her food (although in her mind anyone who offers her food is a good person). Unfortunately, she is also the least intelligent character in BlazBlue. Like most cats, Taokaka's daily routine consists of eating and sleeping, and she can, and often will, forget anything she does or is told to do within three steps or seconds. She also has a strong affinity for female breasts, and enjoys fondling larger pairs.

Dal'sheed

A D'ni person whose occupation is being a Maintainer, a writer of Ages who is tasked with studying and analyzing newly created Ages. He is often apprehensive about welcoming new people into D'ni, however he has often questioned the validity of his superior's actions. In some ways he thinks that this civilization will crumble. As to when he doesn't know. But to him, he knows it must come about from mistrust and he acknowledges the guilt of having some of the same mistrust. His own suit is made of a hardened compacted stone made from D'ni technology, second hardest to Nara.

Age: 40 years. But if he lives long enough, he will die of old age at around 200 to 250 years.
Sex: Male.
Height: 5'8".
Eyes: Olive grey.
Hair: Dark brown, short, with facial hair covering his upper lip and chin and around the sides of his face.

Personality:
-An experienced person around the ideas of worlds and how they operate.
-Conflicted between honoring his own civilization and having to question what his empire is wanting to do with these Ages and worlds.
-A little bit anxious when getting to know new people, somewhat of a sign of xenophobia, a trait that is most common among D'ni.
-His parents were bigoted around outsiders, but that only led to his questioning of authority. He often feels a lot of guilt for still having some of his own parent's tastes.
-Essentially, he wants to question how he thinks, but does not know how or what to do.

Weaponry:
-Rifle: Fires a 1 cm diameter steel bullet at high velocity.
-Fire Marble Launcher: It's essentially an incendiary grenade launcher. Fire marbles impact and explode, subsequently spreading a lot of fire.
-Physical strength: Dal'sheed's heavy stone suit requires him to have a lot of strength in order to lift it. If necessary, he can attempt hand-to-hand combat.

The suit makes him slow and lacking in agility, but is essentially a hazard suit.

I would like for her story to be discovered as the thread goes on. However here are some things about her.
- She has an aversion to women.
- She seems to output magic constantly, women would smell chocolate from it, but males won't notice.
- Although she doesn't like using her dagger for an unknown reason, she charishes this blade.
- She apparently doesn't have a formal education other than what she's learned in Winterhold.
- For her size she does have a decent amount of strength. Although this might just be from being a farmhand in her home universe.
- She has low self-esteem.

Endearance: Due to Sophia's heratage and lifestyle, she is very used to anaerobic activity. She doesn't get tired easily. This however doesn't mean she doesn't like to nap.

Heightened Senses: Smell and Hearing specifically, her eye sight is actually not so good she's nearsighted to a degree...

Magic: "You're a wizard Harry!"

Problem Solving: When given something that doesn't require understanding of machines and such, she is quite good at finding how things fit together if she's given enough time.

Aethis' Dagger: The only thing of her adopted family she still has, other than the clothes on her back.
-Although it functions as a normal dagger, this fancy looking dagger is a keepsake of Sophia's adopted family.
-It's special however because of it's loyalty to the Aethis family. Branded in an old dialect that will react depending on the nature of the wielder.
-Bloodline: The text on the will not react, functioning normally.
-Ally: The text will glow a very faint red. The wielder will feel the dagger should be returned to a member of the Aethis family, after a battle is concluded.
-Neutral: The text glowing brighter, and the wielder will feel uncomfortable wielding the dagger, like writing left as a righty, as well as a feeling to return the dagger.
-Enemy: The text will be quite bright red. The wielder would actually feel mild pain while holding the dagger.
-Hostile to member of Bloodline: The dagger itself would be shrouded with the red glow of the text. Anyone of this category would want to drop the dagger as fast as possible due to the pain.

A Base near the border. Commanded by General Tiberius. Well defended and fortified.

A town on the Northern shore of Lake Tora. It?s a fishing, and tourist town. Renowned for it?s fish cuisine and friendly people. The local Mermen, are allied with Xiphatia and hospital and honest. Those who visit enjoy the shopping, food, and fun on the lake.
There?s a decent force of Xiphatia soldier here at all times, due to the proximity to the border of the two nations. It?s also close to the Forward Defense base, which is under the command of General Tiberius.

Located on a mountain with a lake at the foot, this is a school for the discipline of magic. It?s also known to be a place where several talented Mages and Wizards, not only learned their skills, but also develop further magical advancements to assist in all walks of life in Xiphatia. The current headmaster is a woman by the name of Anna.
The grounds include a massive tower, the main building, and a floating tower, for advanced studies and such.

A mining town. The leader of the town is Icarus. He is wealthy, but his people seem rather poor.

A lumber town. Built in the middle of a massive forest. The people here, cut down trees for building material, paper, and firewood. They also plant trees to keep up the supply.
A town of Beastkin.

A town on the Southern coast of lake Tora. It?s a tourist and fishing city.
There?s a decent costal defense force here. While there is a truce with the mermen during the peacetime, the Legaian military is still wary of the presence of them in the lake.

The second largest city in Legaia. It is a major metropolitan area. It includes a large air force base, shopping area. One of the busiest cities, and probably the third largest economic force on the entire continent.

A quarry for the mining of various metals and minierals needed in the construction of much of Legaia?s technology. This town features large numbers of inventers and heavy machinery.

A farming city. It enjoys the most advanced techniques for growing and harvesting food. Incredibly large. Full of pastureland and home to a decent sized Beastkin population that works the farms. Looked down upon by the humans, but they are hard working and dedicated.

A naval base, and port. Legaian ships enter and leave port from here to the Wild Lands. The entirety of Legaia's sea power is based here. They say Admiral Idula is based here, but she is rarely seen.

Plot

A strange group of people appeared around a alter in the middle of a mountain pass. After a young man passed by warning them of danger they began to leave and found their way to a camp that he was had found his way to, but was surrounded by soldiers. Thanks to a distraction provided when the group approached he managed to get away and he and the group held their own until help arrived.

Identified as Savranth, he and a fellow soldier, Volarian, took them back to their base to meet with the General. The General tricked them hoping to reveal if any among the group were spies, saying they were from Alnilam, actually the name of the planet. Now convinced they were truly who they said they were, he allowed them to stay at the base.

The next day the base was attacked by Legaian soldiers. The group, along with the Xiphatian soldiers successfully defended the base and drove them off. During the conflict, Savranth was discovered to be able to use Legaian technology. This is apparently due to his mother being a Legaian Admiral, named Idula.

Loki took a Legaian soldier captured by Adam under his control.

Many of the group now seek to travel to Winterhorn, a school of magic. Savranth will lead them.

A storm made them stop at the city of Lakewest. Several group members went to find maps and such. Savranth and several others found a local inn, the Spice Rack and took up rooms for the night.

At the inn, a woman, by the name of Athena claimed to be there under the orders of a Lieutenant Colonel Blake Hawking due to concerns of impending war. She knew not what made him think that. Meanwhile, Lyra went out hunting a sea serpent in the lake after hearing about it from Chafla, and Rita eventually sought out a small glowing stone for Mint, the innkeeper's daughter, hoping to learn the password to Winterhorn.

Lyra killed the serpent with the aide of Rita, and recovered a stone for Chafla. Killing the sea serpent also crushed several mermen houses, fortunately no one was injured, but this did anger a merman named Lerron. As luck would have it Athena prevented this from causing greater conflict, thought Lyra was told never to darker the mermen's waters again.

Rita mistakenly believed that the stone was what Mint wanted and took it to her, but discovered it was not. Athena then offered to assist her in recovering it, splitting the lake's waters in two using her powerful water magic. After gathering the proper stone, Rita learned the password. Bacon.

Arriving at Winterhorn, Sable knocked out the guard, causing the alarm to raise. If not for Savranth, the visiting Blake, and professors would have likely killed the entire group.

Once the situation was settled, many of the group, took up some studying while, Yukino dueled Blake. Technically, she lost, but who knows how it would have gone, if it was a fight to the death? Blake mentioned he was planning an attack on Pewtercove. Many members of the group seem intent on stopping this effort.

Savranth also had a minor issue with his own place in the world. Not much was really resolved with this. At least not from his perspective.

Jessica, Vanessa, and Echo left as a group for Lakewest, seeming intent on conducting investigations within Legaia.

Savranth led several other to away from Winterhorn. On the way South, they met a Wild Man with strange abilities. Once they managed to calm him down, they continued on, but stopped in Lakewest for supplies and to rest.

Rita traveled to Rokbyrd in the hopes of finding some mythril. She encountered, Icarus the cruel man in charge of Rockbyrd. When she refused to bow to him, he forced her to. The shopkeeper actually gave her a Mythril amulet she was hoping to buy just to make her leave.

After experimenting with the amulet some, she ended up traveling to Everwood, where she met Loki who was passing through.

Jessica, Echo, and Vanessa traveled South to Pewtercove. There the met Bellerophon who told them that Xiphatia started the war.

Later, the rest of the group joined Blake on his assault against Pewtercove. However, when he revealed his intent to kill everyone in the city, they acted to prevent the slaughter. Tiberius and Athena arrived and arrested him soon after. It was also revealed that Blake had destroyed a Legaian town some months ago and this was what sparked the war. Now, it was far too late to prevent it, though.

Dal'Sheen, Kyosuke, Charlotte, and Steiner travel to Fourside seeking to find answers about th alter they originally appeared at. Loki meanwhile has appeared there as, well, for his own purposes.

Dal'Sheen met with Lucia and she showed him a hologram of the artifact he was looking for. She also explained that it gave off untold energy.

Loki, after meeting General Lazarus and earning a little recognition, then went to a local sandwich shop and took control of the manager.

Rita has made herself busy investigating the technology.

Lyra's allies Marcus and Xyleena arrived in a crashing space pod in Pewtercove.

Adam is captured by Richard Inex while Jessica and Vanessa play in a card tournament.

Rita and Loki travel to Granite Pass. They meet a young man named Geo there.

Savranth and the group travel to Holadino. Jessica meets a small beastkin cat family, Felina and Ashley.

At different times, both Jessica and Rita find a small temple, but neither can enter the inner chambers.

Some of the group travel to Port Letosh, but after Ashley gets kidnapped, Jessica vows to help them and convinces the group to come along. They discover that she was taken to a brothel, owned by a man by the name of Marco. All of the women were beastkin and had been rather mistreated. Rex killed the man, and Jessica took several to live in her homeworld. Though, many others left for their own homes. Jessica burned down the building soon after.

Savranth met a officer named Astasis who recognized his last name as being the same as Idula's.

Meanwhile, Envy, after a close encounter with Ardimas, attacked Everwood, killing several beastkin and even getting the treants involved in the battle. Not long after this, he left to Fourside where he seeks to manipulate the conflict further. Envy meets with the cities mayor who gives him some ideas on how to accomplish his goal, thinking Envy will aide him in his political aspirations.

Savranth has decided to change the world, even if it means killing both houses of leadership in the world. And has asked for help. Partly due to Yukino's urging they head to Rockbyrd.

Jessica travels to Holadino and stays with Felina and Ashley for a night.

Envy meets with Astasis, who tells him to help out by recruiting, or seeking the help of several people. He starts with Felina.

Loki and Rita seem to make plans to stowaway on a ship heading for the Wild Lands.

Lyra and her company head to Winterhorn. There she meets Jessica and later asks Rica to come join her as a guide on her hunt for Chafla.

Savranth, Yukino, Rex, and Grace find a hidden floating city hidden in the mountain of Rockbyrd. They make their way to find Icarus. Dredd, Kyosuke, Noel, and Charlotte also join on the city.

Encountering Icarus results in a massive battle. But even after the group wins, Envy warns the Legaian forces of the floating city and they demolish the great marvel. The group managed to escape in an airship, but when Tao played with the controls, the ship crashed.

Barely surviving the crash the members eventually end up parting ways. Savranth and several members go to the Forward Base, while others check out Valencheirn and investigate the Ash ghosts.

An odd wizard named Nybeth arrives and agrees to work for Tiberius.

Loki, and the now enlightened Rita, manage to learn of a Legaian effort to control the Western oceans and of ships sailing to the Wild Lands. A base in particular. But little else.

Envy flies to Shaintaio and manages to infiltrate a prison and releases several criminals before returning to the mainland.

Athena and the military eventually head out and attack the Legaian Defense Base. Yukino, Savranth, Nybeth, and a few others join in as well. A girl named Black shows up and gets attacked by the Legaians for being the "Destroyer". After the battle, the commander, Astasis tries to mess with the group's heads, but ultimately fails. With Astasis held captive, the base is won, though Medea and Bellerophon each escaped.

Loki made himself busy taming a dragon to fly to the North, the Xiphatian capital of Shaintaio.

The Xiphatians worked to refit the Legaian base for their own use, even as Savranth and even Nybeth try to convince several soldiers to join their cause. This ultimately failed.

Loki flew North to meet the King of Xiphatia while Envy investigated a temple and met with Lucia in the hopes that he could open it with her aide.

Athena and Savranth led an assault on Holadino. Yukino arrived, but when she attacked everyone Savranth confronted her and ended up "killing" her. However, her body disappeared. The battle ended with Xiphatia conquering the town.

Envy led much of the group to a temple to investigate a temple. Inside they found a mech and a strange sword. The group had to use strange "forges" with magical power to destroy the machine and Savranth took the blade after his own sword broke.

Envy delivered the remains of the mech to Legaia and left it in the care of Lucia.

Yukino reappeared after being told by some man to kill Savranth. She knows nothing of who he was. She ended up rejoining with much of the group, though. And with this new knowledge it altered what many thought.

Savranth, Jessica, and Grace ended up going to Shaintaio, which they discovered to be under attack by Legaian forces.

Within a mountainous region there stands naught but an odd alter, made of what appears to be stone. Within it are 5 separate indentations. It is surround by jagged cliff faces on all sides. Despite the rocky nature of the area, here it is quite flat and calm... peaceful. The calm before the storm, as they say.

OoC: There is where you start.
Minor note: Space travel is not possible here. Sorry, but there are reasons for this. However, a ship or escape pod may crash here.

A knight in silver armour worn from battle was running around the area "Princess are you here!" He looks around the area "Wait how did I get here, Oh please don't tell me master Vivi messed up his teleport spell again"
OOC: First in character post of the thread beware my power!

The eerie silence around the alter was broken by the sound of heavy footfalls and creaking wood , echoing through the canyons between the jagged peaks. They hinted at something moving at a leisurely enough pace, each step coming about a second apart from one another. The sound gradually grew louder, each heavy thud and rattle reverberating off of the towering rock faces with greater volume as the source of the sound moved closer.

The knight pulled his sword from his sheath "I will have you know that I am not afraid of you giant. I have fought monsters far stronger and scarier than most can imagine" He walked around the area clanking in his armour

In a shadowy realm where there was no natural light, a vast, empty realm where any ilumination came from a ambiance glow that hung in the atmosphere, a man stood near the edge of a floating slab of land, who, to any observer, would see like it was ripped out of the very earth.

The man had cold blue eyes, slick, comed back black hair and wore black leather trousers and boots, a undershirt of black cloth with a high collar that reached up to the neck. Over that, a tunic-like garmet, with a flap obscuring the right hip, made mostly of black leather, with olive-green cloth around the shoulders and gold trimming around the next and elbow areas. Over that, a coat, also made of black leather, while the inside was olive-green fabric. The fabric around the shoulders was rigid and made to resemble pouldrons. Over this, golden braces on each arm and a golden plate on the left shoulder that was held in pace by several belts. In his right hand, he held a golden sceptre with a curved handle and a blue, glowing gem at the head. Around this gem, there were two blades, one larger then the other.

The man was looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.

"Do not forget your goal, Asgardian.", said a voice coming from the shadows behind the man. "You are to--"
"I know well enough, my purpose. You needn't fear I will lose sight of it." the man answered, speaking with a tone of voice that would suggest he was the learned kind. He didn't turn around to face who addressed him, knowing full-well who it was.
Obscured by the shadows, the other being grinned. "Then go. Uphold your end of the bargain."

Infront of the man, appeared a swirling light, its colour consisting of white various light shades of blue. The man held out his arms slightly to his side as the light began engulfing him. Slowly, the light died down, revealing that the man had been spirited away once it did.
[hr]
In the mountainy area, a high concentration of visible blue energy gathered. Once a sizable amount of energy had built up, it burst outwards, sending out a wave of energy that, although harmless to anything organicm would temporarily scramble any electronics.
Where the energy had built up, the man sat in kneeling position, his eyes closed. Opening his eye and slowly rising to his full height, he looked around slightly suprised by his surroundings. He had expected to be inside a complex, not out in the open, on what appeared to be a mountain. Looking around more, he witnessnes a man in cluncky armour, nothing like the kind Asgardians wore, nor was it anything like the inhabitants of the realm he expected to be would don. In the distance, there could be heard the sound of movement. It would appear that others were drawn to this place.
While the man's first instinct was to assail those nearby whilst demanding an explaination, he instead settled for standing back and observing what would happen next.

Once again Echo plopped onto the hard ground of the strange land. She sat on the ground, silently grumbling to herself, aggravated that this was happening again.

Tao slept contently on a flat rock, basking in the sun and the silence.

The knight looked at the blue energy and than at the man who had appeared "Tell me was that supposed to do something or were you just making an entrance"

Shortly after the knight issued his challenge, the source of the noise appeared, emerging from the mouth of a canyon. The thing making the footsteps could best be described as some form of Hadrosaurid dinosaur, a great, grey, elegant beast the size of a double decker bus that plodded on four powerful limbs. It opened its bill of a mouth and issued a complacent lowing call as it noticed the knight and its tail, which ended in a wicked looking spiked armament, swished passively behind it. The creature was not alone. It was rigged up to a massive two wheeled cart, cobbled together from a combination of wooden planks and huge bones and tied with hemp rope and crude nails. A tarpaulin of tanned animal hides covered the load carried within.
On the creature's back sat an imposing figure clad entirely in blue-grey armour. The armour appeared to be constructed from a metal under-layer, and was overlaid with plates of some dark blue, organic shell that looked not only very hard, but very sharp too, where the plates bounded. Its face was covered by a faceless visor with two blades that stretched up over the top of its head. A long katana in a dark sheath twined with purple ribbon stretched across the figure's back, but it made no effort to reach for it as it stared back at the others.

Outisakanobody · Dec 30, 2012

Tao's ear started to twitch at the rising noise levels. She simply rolled over and started to snore.

Echo, learning from experience (somewhat anyway) and tried to get out of sight, hiding behind a small jumble of rocks.

Hearing the remark of the odd knight, the man turned towards him, his brow furrowing as if contemplating something. "Who are you to adress me in such a manner? Know you not who you speak to?" he replied with a condecending tone whilst raising the sceptre slightly, only to lower it upon seeing two new arivals appearing out of thin air. One, a girl, a teenager by the looks of it. The other, a... the man frowned, in a manner tha suggested mild confusion, having no idea what it was he was laying eyes upon. His gaze shifted upon seeing the quadrupedal grey-skinned beast being used to pull a primitive-looking chariot. This beast too, was one he had never seen before. What was but a minor doubt a moment ago became a certainty - He was not where he should be.

Demonjazz · Dec 30, 2012

The knight stared at the beast "What a strange mode of transportation. Surely a cart pulled by chocobos would be far more convenient sir" he said to the figure in blue armour. He than turned to the mage "Well you are a mage and that is all I know of you"

OOC: @Demon Blue armour.

The armoured figure sniffed and shook its helmeted head slightly at the knight's remark, before turning its attention to the surroundings. Vertical cliffs on all sides, with a few other narrow canyons as cramped and forboding as the one they had just come through. The armoured individual hummed under its breath, frustrated by the difficulty of navigating the area. Turning its attention closer again, it regarded the figures in front of it while barely turning its head. The dinosaur lowed again and lowered its head, searching for grass to crop.

(Due to issues beyond my control, I'm having trouble getting the correct avatar to load up. So her is a lovely question mark that I have dubbed 'Mystery Box of Mystery', a distance cousin of the 'Safety Crate of Safety'.

The woman, who had felt like she was falling for countless hours, finally fell through a second portal as she tumbled across the ground and then came to a rest with a groan as she stopped awkwardly on her backside. As she briefly stared up at the sky, reality finally came back to her as she quickly rolled over, brought a hand up to her large hood that obscured her face, and and got to her feet as she looked around.

"Where am I? Where did they go?" She said to herself, as she kept her head low.

About 5'2" or 1.58 meters, and wearing a large cloak and commoners clothing and a sash around her waist, if there was one word to describe her it would probably be rundown.

Saltyk · Dec 30, 2012

On a cliff above the alter, a man dressed in what could be described as military camo, hide. He put his hand to his ear. "Command, come in. This is Scout Delta. I just spotted some unknown people on my way back from the target."
.....
"No, I can't indentify them. Should I investigate?"
.....
"Understood. On my way back to base."

The man left quickly and silently, though those below may notice and hear some rocks falling down the cliff. As well as a small path not too far from there.

Chungus · Dec 30, 2012

A mage, the knight said. While sorcerer was the term common used to describe him, it was relatively accurate. Given that violently getting the information he wished to know was hardly an option, being in the strange realm that he was, he would have to refrain from doing so.
"A mage. Not quite, but close enough." he answered the knight, then paused. "I, am Loki. Do remember the name." he added, raising his voice to just below shouting levels to make certain all those gathered in the clearing would hear. "And who, pray tell, are you?" he continued, pointing his scepter at the various induviduals with a slow, sweeping motion, indicating he was asking then all the same question. Just when he had lowered his staff, another person arived, this one quite literally falling from the sky. He shifted his gaze from the new arival with the cloak to the sound of falling rocks to his right he picked up with his keen senses. Looking towards that direction, he saw no one. Whoever moved up there had already left.

It would seem this will be quite the unusual day.

OOC: Hey, there's Zeph! We've been wondring where you were.

Hearing a loud thump, the figure riding the dinosaur glanced sharply off to the side where the woman fell. As she picked herself up, the figure swung a leg up over the high spine of its mount and slid down the side, striking the ground in a squat before straightening up. Despite the imposing appearance of the heavy armour, the figure was quite short, only 5'7" at its full height, but the armour made it look bulky and made it difficult to guess at the exact shape and size of the person inside. The person hurried to the side of the woman who was now looking around with her head bowed, chainmail and plates clanking gently as it went.

"Are you alright?" The person asked in a surprisingly soft voice as it reached her, before turning its attention on Loki, unreadable behind the visor.

"Cynane Hellenis. You some local fat cat, or does all the finery actually mean something?" The voice, although soft, gained a metallic quality from the acousticss of the helmet, which didn't conceal the obvious disdain in it.

<spoiler=Dal'sheed's entrance>Dal'sheed picked up the folded letter for him by the Guild of Writers. He held it up by a gas lantern sitting on his stone desk of granite. The speckling of quartz in the stone shimmered around him. Attached to the letter by some thread was a linking book to a newly written Age. The book still looked unbound as it was still in need of inspection by a Maintainer.

Maintainer Dal'sheed,

Your assignment from the Guild of Writers is as follows. Attached to this letter is a newly created Age for studying the properties of civilization and its effects on the stability of an Age, and vise versa. Your job is to inspect this Age to the fullest, making sure everything is under code and that there are no contradictions within the descriptions of this Age. Please keep a log book with you and don't forget to keep a linking book to D'ni. If you come across any inhabitants, do NOT allow them access to your linking book. As you know already this city is in a state of unrest and any outsiders are unwelcome at this time.

Shorah,
Writer G'hme

He scratched his chin as he finished the letter.
"Hmmmm?. I wonder why G'hme was expressing anxiety." Could this be a sign of an instability? He did say that this was for studying civilizations. Perhaps does he think that the civilization is not the most stable one? "Only one way to find out." He said to himself.

He went over to his closet in the stone wall, which was sided by polished marble columns. Twenty years of being an experienced Maintainer has shown markings and "battle scars" on his Maintainer Suit. It was made of an incredibly hard stone made by a matter compacter, but its age and "wounds" truly show a testament to how much of a beating Dal'sheed suffered in the twenty years as a Maintainer. Blotches from volcanic eruptions, electrical strikes from short circuits, and close calls from aggressive creatures that were never intended to exist in some of the worlds he visited.

He donned the stone armor around his whole body and equipped the breathing apparatus. His goggles lit up a faint teal glow as it displayed sensory data that the suit would pick up from the environs. His own size was not so significantly increased from wearing it, but the mass certainly was. He equipped his rifle, fire marble launcher, and a pouch containing some food, water, and a linking book back to D'ni.

He walked over to the Age and placed his gloved hand on the book.

He appeared like glowing sand forming a living person in front of the alter. He inspected the indentations on the altar before looking at the people that were there.

OOC: Don't worry, I got a picture for him in a moment.

"Tao will take your meatbuns, *snore* meow..." Tao muttered as she slept.

Echo creeped closer to Tao out of curiosity.
