[N3vr3ndinBordom]

[SaikaAnge]

Um, honestly you can jump in whenever again. But we were playing on starting the major war thing. We can't without you. So whenever really. If you want to wait til battle then that's fine, if before then that's fine as well

[N3vr3ndinBordom]

Awesome! I'll go ahead and wait till the battle. You guys do your thing, ill catch up on what's happened so far.

[jaybreezy]

New character created

[SaikaAnge]

Well, all the characters will soon know of Crim's pregnancy now lol

[SaikaAnge]

Hey guys, this is dying out sadly but I was hoping we could bring it back to life. I know that's partly my fault and I apologize for that. But hopefully this come back,
@jaybreezy,@N3vr3ndinBordom,@RangerOfTheRit

[jaybreezy]

@SaikaAnge I'm still in for sure

[RangerOfTheRit]

Just call the banners milady haha. @SaikaAnge

[SaikaAnge]

Well, when you can I think its your post, @RangerOfTheRit

[BurningCold]

Hey life was pretty crappy last time I tried to join this but are ya'll still accepting? I can bring a friend in as well.

[SaikaAnge]

@BurningCold, of course! When ya left I said we would always have a spot for you :) its a jump-in so go right ahead! We are about tobstart "chapter two" soon as well. So great timing

[BurningCold]

@SaikaAnge Could I have a short summary of what has transpired? My girlfriend and I are thinking of making two wandering skeleton mercenaries. Is that concept acceptable?

[SaikaAnge]

Basically the Goldenblades, including everyone's characters minus one, took over and sieged the Ironbanes main city. Winning the war, but starting a mew one against demons and who they corrupt. Crim and Leo are king and queen of a newly founded, long lost, kingdom AMD are having a kid. They also have 6 dragons now. And Roz and Alexander are hitting it off pretty well as she's slowly dying. And yeah, that sums it up i think. Unless Jay has more to add. @jaybreezy?

That's perfectly fine with me, :) We have one unread, some skeletons would be awesome. And I like the merc idea, that would be fun

[jaybreezy]

@BurningCold@SaikaAnge
That's pretty much it. As for skeletons, go for it.

[SaikaAnge]

NOTE FOR ALL PLAYERS!

The sides of the war are a bit different now. Ironbanes are rare in Chapter Two, but still around. There is Corrupt vs Pure at this point. Now that a new war is beginning. This one is a bit different, but has the same basis.

[BurningCold]

90% chance those apps are gonna be here later tonight.

[SaikaAnge]

@BurningCold Alright, awesome

[BurningCold]

Och, sorry about that gents (and ladies?). Better late than never!

App

Name:
In another life, the creature was Lionel Whitedrake, brave knight and dragon slayer. Nowadays it is Helmut, seeker of coin and warrior for hire.

Gender:
Not as if that much matters to it anymore, but in life, it was a male.

Age:
Centuries, it must have been. Not that the creature can truly remember whatever the case may be.

Race:
Whitewashed bones groan and creak, and an unrest soul rises from it’s final resting place. The sight of the armored skeleton is a ghastly one.

Side in War:
Where there is coin, the creature can promise it’s aid.

Appearance/Description:
Helmut is of average height, with hidden strength imbued by necromantic energies. It walks with a head held high, purpose in every step taken. One might believe the creature thinks itself a man.

Backstory/Bio:
The creature was not always as such. In time’s long forgotten, it was a boy. The boy was named Lionel, firstborn son of the proud Whitedrake family. Lionel was trained from an early age the ways of the sword, and of the shield. A good sword to plunge deep into the hearts of beasts and men, and a better shield to protect against a wyrm’s fiery breath or a rival opponents own weaponry. Lionel was training to become a knight.

And so, time passed, and the boy was no longer. Now a man stood in his place. The man was named Lionel, firstborn son and knight of the proud Whitedrake family. Lionel was regarded far and wide for his skill with a sword, and with a shield. They say he turned the fiery breath of dragons to ice, how fearful they were of his presence. The time for slaying dragons had ended though. Now the country turned to war. Man against fellow man, kin against kin. This was so much simpler than dragon slaying, yet undoubtedly more complicated. The first few skirmishes went well for Lionel. So did the first battle. The knight had distinguished himself, and was given command of a large company. Indeed, Lionel was nigh on unstoppable, no man could best him in fair combat. The rebels knew this, and had grown to be afraid. So they bested him the only way they could. With trickery. The knight rode upon his horse, comfortably safe within his own lands. He was on leave to visit his wife and fledging daughter. It had been so, so long since last he saw them both. Indeed, he was comfortably safe within his own land. So he did not expect the two arrows that plunged their way deep into his back, nor the sensation of tumbling from his horse down the bank and into the river that lay on his left. The river carried him far, and he became washed up in some subterranean cave. The knight tried to move, or call for help, but the pain was far too great. Lionel was dying.

And so, time passed, and the man was no longer. Now a creature lay in his place. Decades later, an enterprising necromancer came upon the creature. The spell was cast, and the collection of bones now known as Helmut rose. There was a problem for the living, however. The spell was cast improperly, and the creature was under no oath to it’s supposed master. The young necromancer’s blood stained the cave rocks, and his deceased body took the creature’s place lying at the bottom of that forsaken hole in the ground. Unsteadily it shambled out of the cave, wisps of memory tugging at it's mind. The creature paid them no heed, and strode into the world.

Choice of Weaponry:
The creature fancies a sword and shield, it believes them to be staunch weapons.

Garb:
It wears the same armor in death that it wore in life… or what’s left of it at least. Steel plate and iron links protect this knight’s ancient bones.

Personality:
The creature is as complex as a dwarven puzzle cube. Indeed, sometimes it is vocal, and other times silent. Sometimes callous and pragmatic, and in some situations almost caring. It's true intentions and feelings can never be gleamed through it's unchanging face. Helmut is highly unpredictable. However, there is one consistency. If there’s a job somewhere, you can stake your life that the creature will find it.

I'll throw mine in as well!

Opalle

Name: Opalle Jardeve, the same as it ever was.

Gender: Though she may not look it, she is a female.

Age: Approximately one and a half centuries young, mind you, though she retains the skeleton of a rather dextrous 26 year old.

Race: Skeleton presently, but she was an elf in her more lively state.

Side in War: Let us against the demons (for the proper amount of coin, of course.)

Appearance/Description: Her leathers and cloths are worn, though a hooded tunic once adorned her fresh corpse. She is outfitted with archery equipment, and a bow that she is quite proud of. Her tattered bracers still adorn her arms, paired with shredded boots. Her bone figure stacks up to around 5'6, and her now pearly bones are objects of pride.

Backstory/Bio: A natural rogue, Opalle's career started off sneaking out of the house in the night to meet up with friends at the river. It's there that she, along with her companions, would make up and act out stories and wives tales from her village. She grew up with a mischievous and clever mind, ever the prankster in only the most creative fashion. A young orcish boy moved into town, and Opalle was quite taken with him and his skills. Never had she seen such a skilled archer before. It was at this time that she took up the hobby herself, practicing with the boy and quickly becoming adept with the craft until her arrows split themselves upon the center of the target. Without much thought or consideration, she hastily set off from her town with the orc, eager to create an adventure that she had often resolved to make up in her younger years.
Eight or so years passed, and the pair had become quite experienced in their travels on the road. Far and wide, they travelled, and they grew accustomed to the feeling of ever changing earth beneath their feet. They came to expect travelling merchants, drifters, and the occasional raiders. Even monsters were commonplace, and expected at all times. Though one thing neither one had expected was a necromancer. In all their time of travel, they had never encountered such a contradictory being..one who lived for death. And with this revelation, they both perished at the whispy hands of dark magics.
For reasons unknown to Opalle, this necromancer brought her back to life and enslaved her to his whims. Her friend, however, was left behind, though lucky enough to avoid the two years of servitude that Opalle had to endure in her skeleton state. She watched as the flesh dropped from her bones, until nothing but a poorly adorned skeleton was left behind. Luckily for her, a much kinder soul happened upon the poor skeleton of a woman and freed her from the necromancer's trap while he slept, effectively removing her bond from the death-raiser. Much to her chagrin, her savior was a skeleton as well, and a dashing one at that (well, as much as a skeleton can be). With new freedom, she set off on a new adventure.

Choice of Weaponry: Bow and arrows, and only the best of them.

Garb: Overly worn and torn tunic and leathers, not much more than that.

Personality: She's absolutely diabolical and cocky, though she can sober up when needed. She's intelligent through and through, and it shows both in her experience on the road, and in her smart mouth. In her years of death, she has grown carefree and nonchalant to most matters, though the rush of battle and hunting is still not lost on her. Opalle retained her thirst for coin as well, seeing it as a small luxury of the living that she could still hold on to.

[SaikaAnge]

Och, sorry about that gents (and ladies?). Better late than never!
