We're back!
Welcome to Dark Age Legends, chapter 6 sign ups! Chapter 6 will pick up where chapter 5 left off, but due to the break in the action, this is an excellent point to jump in if you haven?t already. If you haven?t been following the story the entire way through, don?t worry. You are not expected to read the entire RP-- just the summary and guidelines below. However, if you never played in a forum RP before (particularly this one) you may want to read a random page or two in the middle to get a sense of how everything works. Current players should also read this, as there are some slight modifications to the chapter 5 rules. In particular, character creation is much more lax this time around.
Theme
A fantasy medieval type deal. Magic is encouraged. Technology should be low (but a few weird inventions are okay). Guns are permitted if you really want them, but they shouldn't be too effective.
Archives
The automatically updated <a href='http://darkagegames.net/dal/viewer.php?id=472' target='_blank'>DAL Archives</a> might be easier to read than the topic on this forum if you want look back at the story (it?s just a script that reads from the forum database and strips off all the signature, avatar clutter, etc.) This is useful if you want to save some pages to your harddrive.
You can also download the entirety of <a href='http://darkagegames.net/dal/DAL.zip' target='_blank'>chapters 1-3</a> in a single ZIP file (400 KB). (I don't have chapters 4 and 5 in there yet.)
Background Story (Chapter 6 prelude)
It has been five years since the chaos has subsided and the near end of the world. The planet (Gaian) thrives in fertility once more. The Dark Empire has disappeared, replaced by a much smaller yet no less fearsome Crimson Empire based on the Terius content (a.k.a. The Dark Continent). New kingdoms have sprouted across the world, replacing formerly subdued lands. It is a time of peace and rebuilding...
Of course, not for long...
Dark Age Legends Rules v1.5
There are two types of people in the RP: characters and NPCs.
You can have up to four active characters (who you'll set up here). These are your characters and your characters alone. No one can control them but you.
Creating Characters
The level restriction is gone. Just post your characters and be fair (see last section). You can create new characters at any time during the RP, not just during the "sign up" period.
NPCs
NPCs are more flexible. Often you?ll see some soldiers, villagers, monsters, or other non important characters. Generally, anyone can create and use these characters. But if someone is using a NPC in a character like fashion, it?s probably best not to control it for them. Generally NPCs die off or leave the story in some way after a few posts, so posting them on the sign-up isn?t necessary.
Swapping
You can make any one of your characters inactive at any time. Making a character inactive means that that you have room to make a new character or make another inactive one active again. Remember that you can have up to four active characters at a time.
Methods of making a character inactive include making them fall unconscious, having them go to sleep, leave the action, etc. You don't really have to say "so-and-so is now inactive", unless it's not obvious.
Actions
Each character is limited to two "actions" per post. An action is something your character does. Some examples:
- Attacking another character
- Defending an attack
- Preparing an attack (i.e. for bigger than normal spells)
- Starting to walk/run/fly from one place to another
- Arriving on the scene
- Picking up an item
... etc. Basically use your own judgment. Conversation with other characters doesn't count (so you can talk as much as you want).
Charging Techniques
This section made more since when there were character levels, but for now, if a character takes more than one post to perform an attack, honor that attack as more powerful than normal.
Story events and nature of actions
As far as the story goes, anything can happen as long as it's in good taste and doesn't disrupt the flow of the RP. The only restriction is that you don't control other players' characters. i.e. If you throw a fireball at someone, you let them decide whether they get hit by it or not.
Travel
Try and be realistic in the amount of time it takes to get to one place from another. You should never leave one area and arrive in the next in the same post. Places that are farther away should take more posts to get to. I'm not going to spell out the distances between each place we've been to so far, so use your own judgment.
Be descriptive! Especially when you're entering a place of your own design. Try and build off of other posters' descriptions as well. This is important, as it?s easier to tell what?s going on if you know where you?re at.
Posting
There is a limit of two ?updates? per day. An update is a post that contains any actions for any of your characters. The only exception is a post that contains only dialogue, i.e. if your character is just talking to another character.
On the other hand, try and stop in to update at least once a day!
Three day rule: If you are fighting someone and your opponent doesn?t post for three days, assume they were hit by your attack and knocked unconscious (heh?)
Limitations
No unbounded instant teleportation. If they have the ability, characters can only teleport for short distances, and even that should be used sparingly. No instant transmission from one place to a totally different one. (Okay, every once in a while is okay, but just don't try and have one character be in two battles at once. Heh...)
Comments
Comments not part of the flow of the RP should be made obvious by placing them in between parentheses or slashes, etc. Try and keep commenting to a minimum. Major questions should be asked on this topic, rather than in the middle of the RP.
Try and refrain from quoting other posts unless absolutely necessary, since they just look bad and disrupt the flow of the RP.
Reading
It is important to read every post of the RP since your last post, and perhaps a page or two before the current point if you?re just signing up. In order to create a coherent world, we all need to know what is going on with everyone else, even if what other characters are doing on the other side of the world don?t immediately affect your own.
Though the rules are long, they are probably not as long as the collective posts the RP receives on a good day. <span style='color:red'>Chances are if you?ve just skimmed though the above rules and jumped to this line you are not cut out for this RP.</span>
(Heh?)

During one of there training exercises, Zeros' fell his old master with a swipe of his swords. He is overcome by greif and further pushes his techniques and training, trying to become the strongest as his master wishes.
After the felling of his master, Zeros' sets off to find the weapons of legend, his masters last words still in his mind.
Now as the turmoil of Romme's destruction is starting to come to the surface, it is time for Zeros' to return. He still carries the burden of the one to protect Iduran's legacy.
Chapter 1: A mysterious warrior who appeared when the Dark Empire started its invasion on Romme. He disappeared, and reappeared in chapter 2.
Chapter 2: Reappears when Haraldur destroys a village. He started a long fight agianst the two Dark Empire generals, Nex and Draven. He slain his own kind, later Nex was buried by Duilin.
Chapter 3: He returns to the struggling island of Romme to seek out his enemy he made in Chapter 2, Draven. He finds Draven, only to find him accompined by the mysterious man Jayce. A long battle brings his old master Genma into the mix as he confronts Draven. Genma fights off Draven to a standstill and proceeds to kidnap the hero Iduran to bring him to the emperor for questioning.
Zeros' proceeds to fight Nex once again, onyl to find him zombified. Nex is faught to a stand-still and effectively disappears. Zeros' then wants to seek out Draven to finish there battle, only to find the Zero Weapon. He proceeds to fight the Zero Weapon to another standstill, it becoming incapacitated for a time. He sends the revealed forms of Qeni and Zev back to heaven.
Zeros' finds Jayce near the area where the three Arstian warriors once werem smirking his smirk. Zeros' proceeds into another fight with the heir to the Dark Empries heir to the throne Jayce. Jayce's first attack fell Zeros' sister Qeni, releasing his swords true power. Jayce reveals his true form of a shadow draken to his opponent. With the help of Tsu, Zeros' fights with Jayce until the emperor shows.
The fight with the emperor was long and tedious. Neptra dies in the confrontation with Genma and Retan proceeds to destroy the island, only a few heros living.
Chapter 4: Zeros' appears a few hundred miles near Laus and into a mysterious cave where presumably one of the weapons of legends are. He explores the cave, finding the weapon and returns to Laus, only to run into a yeti and the Ice Bros.
After a brief skirmish, Zeros', along with Haraldur, Duilin, Cheetah and Kami-ryu all head to the sunken island on Artian, hoping to find the next weapon, wherever it may be.
After plunging into the waterl and finding the Destiny Temple (Just a name) where it depitcs the last battle form Romme as well as the Dark Empire and Romme emperor, they find the legendary staff, but not without the hardships of fighting off one of the Balrogs from hell. Zeros' and his teams soon find a plaque telling the direction of the legendary weapons.
Now, after the Destiny Temple, Zeros' and his team head towards the remains of Duilin's village in hopes of finding another one of the weapons, but they meet with the remains of the Dark Empire. After another brief encounter, two of the remaining soldiers lead the party down into a hanger where Duilin receives the legendary mace after a tussle with the undead.
Now, having four of the weapons in possession, the team heads back towards Laus, where they all head in different directions. Zeros' goes towards the direction the Zero Weapon is coming in, menace that was once thought long destroyed.
After a battle with that, and the help from Tsu, Xenai and Zion, they manage to seal it away, removing the evil taint and allowing Xenai to reprogram it. They all fly towards the position of the air ship, where no other then his old nemesis, Draven, has revealed himself.
Armic, a priesy for Qor, manages to fuse with the ancient god that Genma and himself sealed long ago, returns for vengence and ends up summoning demons from the underworld. Zeros' and the others fight these off, but not without knocking Nevina unconcious from the dark tain and Kami-Ryu for injures.
Draven and his party leave as Zeros' carries Ryu back to Laus, where they meet with Duilin and proceeded to fight a quick battle with Scumfreeze after Haraldur find them.
Now exhausted, he puts Ryu on a bed to rest and rest himself.
Chapter 5: As Zeros' awakes, Rink shows himself, an outcast of Qor. Zeros' briefly explains his existance as he, Duilin, Rink and Haraldur. As they fly towards the Crimson Empires capital, Zion and his group meet with Zeros' and join forces.
(skip a couple pages)
...as Zeros' and his group concentrate their power, the planet began to fluxiuate wildly. As soon as they were out, seals were formed an the Goddessof the Planet was summon, healing the wounds, returning Gaia (or Gaian) to its former glory.
Gaia, grateful for hering the planet's plea, banishes the island and the whole group near Haraldur and Draven's location, recharging their reserves in the process.
After Haraldur's fusion was done, Haraldur disappeared, never to be seen again. Zeros' followed him into Limbo, but soon made it back to Midgard. As Draven left, Zeros' promise him a last battle and soon laid his head down to sleep, hi anticipation running high...
//I might make another character. I'm not sure as of yet.\\

Weapon: None except his magery.
Alliance: None.

Name: Nikola Tesla
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age:28 years
Job: Inventor
Weapons: A prototype raygun, which is not totally reliable. A portable tesla coil. The ray gun and tesla coil, both of his invention, are powered by his magical powers, which can also be used for direct attack.
Alliance: He seems to be a member of a mysterious organisation.
Description: Short black hair, black moustache. He is usually wearing some sort of suit, which is usually scruffy, and has been more and more unkempt as of late. See <a href='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/50/Nikola_Tesla.jpg' target='_blank'>http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5...ikola_Tesla.jpg</a> In addition, on his arm he has a tatoo. The tatoo depicts ten identical men with blond hair and black garments standing in a circle, and in the middle is an identical man, but much larger. From that man sparks of lightning or plasma leave and swirl their way to each of the ten smaller versions.
Bio: He was born in a small village in the mountains. When he was young, how young he knows not, some mysterious men visited the shack in which he and his parents lived. The men had chanced to spot him in one of their infrequent but regular sweeps of the area, noticing his patterns of behaviour. It appears some agreement was made, although it looked as if the parents were terrified. The two men picked up Tesla, and flew away to a remote cave and maountain complex. He has now left, on a mission of some sort.
_______
I wonder, does anyone have an inkling as to my ideas?
-
The tatoo gives me some ideas. Love Nikola's profile image, though. (Heh...)
Edit: Googled the name. Interesting choice of a character. (Heh...)
-
Ewww. I googled the name, and, OMG!
Xorlak, don't make me do that again!
-
We are talking about Telsa the inventor, right? (Heh...)
-
Excuse me, but, who's Telsa? =-p You mean the girl that was showing off her...
-
<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla' target='_blank'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla</a>
A genius. Ever heard of a Tesla coil? Ever played Red Alert?
-
Red Alert? I don't recall...
-
Ay, yes! Red Alert! The tesla coil, the ultimate defence weapon againts those allied dogs.
(http://http://firingsquad.com/images_v2/features/redalert2firstlook.gif)
Was Nikola Tesla Russain? Because that would make alot of sence why the soviet's get Tesla Coils. It's dumb how the soviets are more high tech then the allies when England is way ahead of Russia. At least in RA2 the allies are more high tech.
-
Tesla was a Serb born in what is now Croatia.
The soviets are the coolest! In both games!

Name: Mavas Hyul
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 29
Job: General evil-doer
Weapon: A long jagged sword strapped across the back
Alliance: ???
Description:
Mavas stands at a medium height with longer brown hair. His armor is made of a deep black yet very shiny material resembling polished onyx. Long protrusions from this fiendish battle wear jut from his shoulders and hips, giving him an inhuman look from a distance. A pendant with a gold chain hangs around his neck, sporting a blood-red dimly glowing ruby. The ruby pulses brighter at regular intervals, synchronized with his heartbeat...
Bio:
To be made evident in the story.
-
Situation update:
//I mean this, what is actually happening? I have not a clue. Why are we in this spot? Where are we travelling to? Is there method to this confusion of relationships?//
Ven and Mavas were battling in River Town (although no one mentioned the name yet in the story). Marshal, Zion, and Aminga helped out. Zeros' and Duilin were on the other side of the world heading in that direction because they detected a sinister aura and wanted to check things out. Your guys followed them all the way to the town, so now everyone's together (Except the characters Trent has fighting in the tournament.)
If anyone looses track of what's going on, just ask in this thread. Probably a good idea to make sure everyone's on the same page. (Heh...)
-
Hey, you spelled my name wrong!
*Slashes Xorlak with Blade of Champion. =-p
Heh. Just so you know, it's Aminaga, not Aminga.

Hmmm...
Are people getting errors when trying to post in the DAL topic? Tried this morning but couldn't get through, then I noticed Dippy posted and I still can't... (Heh...)
-
Probabbly it's just you. Mine and Dippy's internet connection (we use the same computer) is awfull. I've got like 49,333 bps right now. So if everyone was getting errors we centainly would be.
-
Yes, a couple times, I got some errors. But now, when I'm posting, it's working just fine...
-
Ugh, still won't work for me. Might have to make a new topic if this keeps up... (or I'll hack the database... Heh...)
-
*cough* Xorlak, if you need somebody to run the RP for you, let me know. I'm pretty good at modding RPs.
-
I still want to post, you know... (heh...)
-
You just did post though! Razz *just kidding*
-
*cough* Xorlak, if you need somebody to run the RP for you, let me know. I'm pretty good at modding RPs.
No, Xorlak, should be the ONLY person to moderate, the RP. Not you, not me, and not the log.
-
Don't listen to him, kids. Anybody can mod the RP. Youu never know who Xorlak will pick. For all we know, it could be...YOU!!
*Points in random direction.
-
Seriously DMM, I've been playing this RP the most. (Me, Xorlak and Zeros' were in the RP from the very begining, and have had our one mainest character be in every chapter so far) And, honesly, Xorlak is the only person who can moderate this RP. Most RPs, go down the drian, and this is the only RP that I have played that didn't get ditched. (And I've been in many RPs, in several community fourms)

Name: Therin
Gender: Male
Race: Hylian (essentially an elf)
Age: 20
Job: Adventurer
Weapon: One of the finest silver blades made by the elven Hylian race.
Alliance: Therin is completely loyal to his home nation of Hyrule.
Description: Therin stands 6'3". He has bright, icy blue eyes, which seem to turn many people off toward him. His straight black hair hangs down to his shoulders, and are held behind his pointed ears. He wears a black tunic; pants and a long (it hangs down to his ankles) robe/cape. He wears blackened obsidian boots. From a belt over his waist hangs a golden sheath and a small leather pouch that holds his few possessions and many, many rupees.
Bio: Born and raised (to 18, at least) in Hyrule, Therin is extremely loyal to his native land. His mother and father have unknown jobs, most likely deep in the central intelligence of Hyrule's military. For these unknown jobs they get a lot of rupees, and send half of them to their son, because they have no need for most of what they get.
Therin is a very noble and intelligent Hylian. He was sent to a very nice school and has a vast vocabulary and a seemingly unlimited knowledge on various subjects, including time-related magic. His magical abilities include spells to speed up him and allies in combat or anywhere else; and a certain spell; Farore's Portal, which allows him to create a small rip in time and space to allow people passage to certain places, as long as Therin himself has already been to that certain place.
Because he decided to focus on time-related magic, he isn't very skilled in healing or attack magic. For this reason, he has had extensive training in swordplay and has learned about certain plants with healing properties, what they look like, and where to find them.
(I know that it's a crappy way to end a character bio, but I don't have much else to say.)
-
Yay! Welcome to Dark Age Legends, Firestorm2005!
btw It's not that crappy of a way to end the character bio really.
Also, when will Xorlak fix the problem. Getting boring without the main character over here.
-
There won't be anyone moderating it but me, so there's no sense in arguing about it. (Heh...)
Hmmm, I still get the error... (and other people can post?!) If it happens again tomorrow, measures will be taken...
-
Hmmm, I'll ask Spyder if he can fix the problem. But not right now, right now, sadly, I'm too lazy...
-
Well, I was able to post... But this is extremely strange...
I tried posting something different, and that worked. So I tried editing the post and pasting what I wanted to post yesterday... and got the error. So then I tried posting half of it, and that worked. Okay, so now I know something in my post is causing the error. After a few minutes, I narrowed it down to one line and one line only by deleting parts and leaving others in.
Note the line where I wrote:
"So... you have memories from before..."
Try copying that and inserting the word "do" in between the "you" and "have". You can't post it! I tried it in this topic even. Conspiracy? (Heh...)
Looks good Firestorm, by the way.
-
Thanks... I was a little worried, considering I was making it up as I was writing it Very Happy ...
-
:blink: Crap, Xorlak! Your right. What the hell is going on? :wacko:
I tried posting that, got an error...
Something's gone crazy here...
-
I tried to post it, then I had to completely close Internet Explorer because I got the error every time I tried to do something afterwards -_- ...

Name: Haraldur/The Rebel of Aspyes
Gender: Male
Race: Human... shaped. Race unknown.
Age: Just (re)created by Nikola Tesla
Job: The Rebel of Aspyes
Weapon(s): None, exept himself.
Alliance: The Aspyes
Description: Long blond hair which is almost white. A beard and moustache of same colour. Northern European like skin. Blue eyes, in which a stange fire seems to burn in rage. Dressed in the skins of black bears. A swirling, dark black, red, green and blue aura surrounds him, but is predominantly black.
Bio: He has been brought back by Tesla, for the freedom of the Aspyes.
Changes to Tesla:
Name: Nikola Tesla
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age:28 years
Job: Inventor, Member of the Aspyes
Weapons: A prototype raygun, which is not totally reliable. A portable tesla coil. The ray gun and tesla coil, both of his invention, are powered by his magical powers, which can also be used for direct attack.
Alliance: The Aspyes
Description: Short black hair, black moustache. He is usually wearing some sort of suit, which is usually scruffy, and has been more and more unkempt as of late. See <a href='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5...ikola_Tesla.jpg' target='_blank'>http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5...ikola_Tesla.jpg</a> In addition, on his arm he has a tatoo. The tatoo depicts ten identical men with blond hair and black garments standing in a circle, and in the middle is an identical man, but much larger. From that man sparks of lightning or plasma leave and swirl their way to each of the ten smaller versions.
Bio: He was born in a small village in the mountains. When he was young, how young he knows not, some mysterious men (members of the Aspyes) visited the shack in which he and his parents lived. The men had chanced to spot him in one of their infrequent but regular sweeps of the area, noticing his patterns of behaviour. It appears some agreement was made, although it looked as if the parents were terrified. The two men picked up Tesla, and flew away to a remote cave and mountain complex. He has now left, on a mission of some sort.

Подъем, отец нового лорда ада. Принесите, те, свирепствуйте, после этого смерть...
-
Name: Lars Draven
Gender: Male
Race: Human (?)
Age: 30
Job: Crimson Emperor
Weapon: none
Alliance: Himself
Description:
Standing just under six feet tall, Draven has long black hair tied back at the shoulder and a piercing glance. His armor, black with red trim, is light and flexible. His gloves and boots are dark brown. His cape, dark red on the inside and black on the outside, sports a solid red four-winged dragon against a diagonal sword insignia on the back-- the insignia of his Crimson Empire.
Bio:
The overly pompous Draven lead the menacing army that destroyed Romme. He knows basic spells in other elements and some black magic, but his true passion, his obsession rather, is fire magic. He commands the fire element with devastating ease. He does not use a physical weapon, but sometimes likes to form a blade of fire to use as a sword.
In chapter 1:
As a high general of the Dark Empire, Draven displays his absolute will to command at several points. He had several battles with the traitor Scorch, who quickly became his rival. In addition to his crimson blade attack, we see a massively destructive gargantuan fireball he conjures when angry, he trademark aura of flame that surrounds him as he gathers more energy, and the ability to levitate himself.
In chapter 2:
Draven receives a message from his emperor and time is running out to find the sword he seeks, but he manages to keep his cool (well, not really?). He has an encounter with a general from the rival nation of Aritan and later meets a new obstacle in his quest for the sword, namely the demi-human Zeros?. After a battle, Draven obtains a fake sword from Zeros? and returns to his ships to await the arrival of the Dark Emperor, totally oblivious to the fact that the real one is still out of his reach.
In chapter 3:
Draven feels the pressure as he competes with the two other newly arrived high generals, Jayce and Neptra to obtain the real sword. His determination is his downfall, however, as he endlessly fights against all who stand in his way, eventually completely wearing himself out. His final match is with Scorch, which ends in a sort of draw, with Draven's lifeless body sinking into the depths of the ocean...
Interlude:
Draven does not know what happened during the days, weeks perhaps, he spent drifting in the sea. He had odd visions: a fiery cave, frozen tundra, memories of his parents... He awoke on a beach near Tjed. Somehow he felt more alive than ever... or was he...? Draven has found that this near death experience has only made him stronger...
Somehow the emperor and the other generals had been defeated during the past weeks... the Dark Empire was in chaos. But Draven was the highest ranking survivor, making him the rightful heir to the throne, though he had no relation to Retan... But still, best to gather information first. Draven donned dark robes and went around calling himself 'Lars', attempting to assess the situation.
In chapter 4:
Under the guise of Lars, Draven tried to disrupt the trust among those who fought against the Dark Empire a month ago. After this seemingly failed, he began to recruit warriors for his cause, forming an alliance with two Ice Warriors and the dark priest Armic.
With his new recruits, the shrouded Lars broke into a former Dark Empire facility and made off with a state of the art black magic powered airship. Soon the group caught the attention of Haraldur, to whom Draven revealed his true identity. When the others caught wind of what was happening, a massive battle in the sky ensued in which the two Ice Warriors were killed. Outnumbered, Draven escaped in his airship along with the newly transformed Armic.
In chapter 5:
Draven assumes command of the Dark Empire, but immediately faces his adversaries again. A huge melee at the capital of the Dark Empire leaves the fortress and city in ruins. Haraldur eventually recovers all of the weapons and Draven calls a temporary truce with Zeros' and the others as this new threat is dealt with. An epic battle ensues as a evil entity is released from the weapons that eventually fuses with Haraldur.
Haraldur then releases the ancient evil Alpha Retan, which spawns another mammoth planet-threatening battle. Draven nearly destroys the world with a long conjured but extremely explosive spell in an attack against the ancient draken, but the side effects are diminished beyond the initial target with the aid of Zeros', and later his calling of the planet's guardian deity.
After Haraldur disappears when fighting his father, Melkoth, Draven parts ways with his old adversary, Zeros', proclaiming they will resume their rivalry the next time they meet...
Five year interlude:
Draven has restructured the Dark Empire, christening it the Crimson Empire and declaring himself as emperor. He has spent years rebuilding the land ravaged by war and the recent events that damaged much of the Dark Contenent. Unlike Retan, he has spent little time gaining new territory, but the new nation's military force is complete and polished none-the-less...
-
The man, the legend, the Crimson Emperor?! From what I heard, isn't he in league with another empire called the Dark Empire, not the Crimson Empire?
-
In chapters 1-3: High General of the Dark Empire
Chapter 4: In disguise most of the chapter
Chapter 5: Takes over the Dark Empire (due to the Emperor and other generals disappearance in Ch. 3)
In-between 5 and 6: Officially renames Dark Empire to Crimson Empire, as he announces in Ch. 4 (due to his obsession with fire, whereas the former leader was obsessed with shadow. Heh...)
Chapter 6: Ruler of the Crimson Empire
Thought I made that clear in his bio and the Ch. 6 outline, but let me know if anything else isn't.
If you want to read his old bios and bios of dead characters, you can extend the topic viewing cutoff date at the bottom of the forum and look at the signups for chapters 1-5.
-
Yeah, and half of those dead characters are mine. Patrick, Darion, Nex, Gedi, Pophin, Veronika, Phenonix, Frost, Bite and Maxwell. Did I forget anyone?
Oh maybe nobody cares, because it's way to late to say, but I remembered that I forgot to mention why Nex was more powerfull when he possessed Pophin, is because the weaker the person, the more power Nex can release. So say if he possesed Draven, he wouldn't be much different then Draven, and probabbly, would get overthrown, and Draven would be able to regain control.
God, sometimes I miss the old chapters, we need to try and get a good guy army soon.
-
Just so you guys know, Aminaga's out of the RP until the next chapter. Since he was "killed" by the mystery shadow in this chapter.
-
Heh, been meaning to sketch this guy for a while now:
(http://http://darkagegames.net/dal/Draven.jpg)
-
He looks a bit like your avatar.
-
Oh wow, same pose. That wasn't even intentional. (Heh...)
-
Actually, I can't even see the picture you posted.
-
Same poze, cloak, and similar shoulder pads.
-
Actually, I can't even see the picture you posted.
Strange. Maybe try copying the link and pasting it into another browser?
(I take it everyone's taking a break from the RP for Dude Man, huh? Heh...)
-
No. I mean there is nothing there.
EDIT: Nevermind. I used IE instead of Fire Fox. I can see it now.
-
Heh. My characters are so important now. ^_^ . Well anyways. I guess we can go back to normal speed now. Since I'm back.
Awsome sketch Xorlak. I accually pictured Draven to be exactly like that, except for I pictured his hair back, and it was more smooth. Maybe I should do a sketch of Duilin. Since the Hero Machine and that sprite are not 100% acurate.
-
Hm.. Sometime, I might do a scetch of Zeros'.
-
Yes, I supose that would be needed. Haraldur should also do one. From, my point of view Draven, Zeros', Haraldur and Duilin would be the mainest characters. I supose Zion to.

Name: Yamvy Codesk
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 25
Job: Illusionist
Weapon(s): Fooled Staff; A shiny white staff that turns a bright pink when used, a pink jewel sits on the top and an odd mist can be sent from it to form an illusion to fool an opponent.
Alliance: He is not a part of any current alliance
Description: He stands about 5 feet, 9 inches, this slightly muscular man wears robes of illuminated white silk. He wears a white, metal mask over his face so none know what his face looks like.
Bio: Yamvy Codesk trained as a child to become an Illusionist from a book his late Grandfather gave him. Yamvy grew up very wealthy, his father being a famous duke, whom was notorious for his theft of gold. Yamvy's mother was never home, so Yamvy never really knew her too well. Yamvy's parents were always too busy for him, so Yamvy just sat and read his magic book, named The Book of Illusions, until one day he became a superior Illusionist and now uses that skill to follow in his father's footsteps...to rob people of their gold and valuables.
Or for the extended version of Yamvy Codesk's profile, go here: <a href='http://www.mysticsoftware.net/ibforums/index.php?showtopic=1608' target='_blank'>http://www.mysticsoftware.net/ibforums/ind...?showtopic=1608</a>

Looks good. Welcome aboard!
-
Why thank you, the pleasure is mine! Very Happy
-
Haraldur, you're doing too much in one post! Please slow it down. That's twice now. Don't make me start editing!
Other characters (and NPCs that work for other characters) need a chance to react to what you're doing. I know it's a pain when every single other character is allied against yours (now you know how I felt a couple of chapters ago! Heh...) and it seems like you can't progress, but that's how the RP works. It's a slow RP.
-
Yeah, and also it was abit crazy when Haraldur said he blew up the Crimson Palace. But you fixed it. I think we should have a kill limit perhaps?
Anyways. I think it is getting interesting again. I am very glad we have two armies now, like in Chapter one. Ah, the good old days! Razz
-
When are chapter 7 signups coming out?
~Ein
-
Probably in 1-2 weeks. Just a small break we're having.
-
But, then, we have to retype everything totally, which, really sucks.
-
What the hell are you talking about? Haven't you ever herd of copy & paste?
-
Yeah, but Haraldur keeps making me make new rules... (Heh...)
-
I have, but, then I have to write his bio for Chapter 6, even if it wasn't as eventful as the other 5. And, I'm usually out of it if I'm not writing stories, or, playing games.
-
Yeah, probabbly the biggest chapters were 3 and 5. Damn, five was so long. Didn't it go for a month longer then it was planned?
Anyways, I would like to give Rink the award of being my first character (other then Duilin) to be in two full chapters and survive to be in more!
-
ARGH! It's almost been two weeks! Where is chapter 7?! Lol
~Ein (The impatient noob)
-
I agree, with D. Ein. I'm sure we have all had enough of a brake. Smile
-
Yes, I am getting bored of waiting.
I have no life.
-
Doggonit... it's coming, it's coming...
-
Yay goodie! Now I know it's coming! Razz Very Happy ^_^
(All three emotes were absolutely necessary)
