It's almost like we never left

Almost.

We're just missing an arm and a leg. Each. As well as fingernails.

I'm off to play warframe. See you guys later <3

All right, I've decided to keep Aethel and just edit out any mention of Una from the bio since Madhog hasn't returned yet. And Vash/DSM, it is just great to have you back man.

Æðelþryð Cynebaldsdohtor

Name:
Æðelþryð (Aethelthryth) Cynebaldsdohtor

Gender:
Female

Species:
Human

Preferred Weapon(s):
Æðelþryð carries around as many grenades and other explosives around with her as she can. She also tends to have a vest of high-yield explosives strapped to her chest for the most dire of circumstances.

Abilities:
She's extremely proficient at making explosives and can throw quite accurately, thanks to a fair amount of practice. But she's really just a regular old human.

Image of Character:


Bio:
Æðelþryð is a terrorist. Well, not quite; she's been labelled as such by the authorities of every single planet she's ever visited, and she herself quite likes the term and uses it to describe herself. But since the definition of terrorism is "the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims," she doesn't quite fit. While she does indeed commit widespread and indiscriminate bombings, they're not for some bigger goal. She simply does it because she loves making and watching explosions, regardless of the damage they cause.

She was born on a world with a very distinct dichotomy between the rich and the poor. The rich lived incredibly lavish lives in the clean and beautiful "upper world", while the poor worked and toiled all their lives in the filthy and polluted "under world" to support lifestyle the rich. Æðelþryð was born into the latter category, but in some ways she was lucky. She was an accident, and in fact her father wanted her mother to have an abortion, as a child would mean another mouth to feed. However, Æðelþryð's mother refused and wound up giving birth to her. Her mother died from complications soon after, and her father threw her into the street like trash. But luckily she was found by a man named Cynebald, who took in the infant and raised her as if she was his own child. Cynebald was also the one who taught her all she knows about explosives, for that was his job. He was known as the Bombsmith, and was mostly left alone for a number of reasons. Criminals left him alone because they knew they'd do jobs for him and that trying to break into his home would be a death sentence. And those in the upper echelons of society left him alone for similar reasons, it wasn't uncommon for them to hire him for dirty jobs to take out their rivals or ruin them.

So Æðelþryð spent most of her early life with this man, learning the insides and outsides of bombs and explosives, how to make and use them, etc. Everything she'd need to know about them. And she took a great enjoyment in it, even from a young age she was enamoured with the explosions. They were powerful, they were beautiful, they were perfect. Eventually she started going out on jobs with her adoptive father, but he would scold her because she used her explosives with an almost reckless abandon, not seeming to care about any form of collateral damage. When he realized he couldn't stop her from doing so, he stopped taking her out on jobs with her. And so she left. It wasn't like she ran away, she told him she was leaving, that she wanted to find her own way in the world. And he accepted it and let her go, after providing her with plenty of supplies and wishing her luck.

And that was how her reign of terror began. She traveled far and wide across numerous planets, bombing buildings and people because she loved to do it. And she managed to lay low and avoid the authorities, though she did have some close calls at first. And she lived like this for several years.

Eventually she decided to make her way to Norrux Mirugal, figuring that the fact that it didn't really have any government besides the gangs would make it pleasantly easy to bomb quite a few buildings before moving on with little risk. Unfortunately Rectja Tyrr somehow discovered that she was on the planet, and who they were. So he sent some of his thugs with an "invitation"; she refused and proceeded to blow them up. Then he sent some thugs out after her; she blew them up as well. The next time he sent even more men, and despite the fact that they took numerous casualties, they eventually managed to corner her and take her captive. Well, "captive" wouldn't be the proper term as she wasn't completely at their mercy, thanks to the vest of high-yield explosives Æðelþryð was wearing. Upon meeting Rectja he made it clear that he could use someone of her talents and skills, and essentially blackmailed her into working for him. After all, he could make sure that she didn't leave the planet, and it would be rather unfortunate were the authorities of the planets she'd visited to receive an anonymous tip as to her current location. And this is still her current situation, working for Rectja. Her feelings are mixed, she doesn't particularly like Rectja and his thugs and she's not fond of the fact that she was caught and can't pick her targets, but she does still get to enjoy blowing things up.

Other:
The rebreather/gas-mask looking apparatus Æðelþryð wear on her face isn't just for show. The under world of her home planet is so filthy and polluted that the people living their have built up an immunity to the toxic pollutants in the smoggy atmosphere. However, this has resulted in them having difficulty breathing in "clean" air. Even on Norrux Mirugal if she were to remove it she would suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue, wheezing, and other such problems. Not that she tells anyone this.

You're like my kid man, my love for you is unconditional and I'm likely to insult you for your hair.

I find this funnier than you probably intended because my family does jokingly insult my hair.

Oh? Well, have I got a treat for YOU!

"A Fairytale of Exoria: A Sing-Along"

(Listen to this and sing along ^^! Sorry if I forgot anybody, I'll make another if I did!)

Audra: "Its Christmas Eve, you know. At Rectja's Palace. I'm beaten everyday, with extreme malice.

But I can't shed no tears. These pigs will eat it up. All I can do is hope, that my friends will show up.

Oh where's that boy-girl thing? With cat-like ears so big? And the soldier in a suit? Oh, and Ana too?

Somebody hear my plea. It'll be a gift for me. Please Santa give them word. So I can be set free.."

Maarcuu: "We'll search high and low for Princess Audra, right Vash?"

Vash: "You got it Maarcuu now move your fuzzy ass!!"

Ana: "You two are such dorks, can't believe what I hear. For this search I think that I need another beer."

Zuzen: "Onward then, to go save the day. We'll grab our Christmas Shopping while we're on our way."

Tal: "Hooray, hooray!! It'll be the best Christmas Day, cause I'll get gifts that actually cost mon-eh.".

All: "Well the boys of the Norrux Mirugal Choir, were singing "Team G.L.I.P", hooray!! So know that we'll save Audra, for Christmas Day!!"

~~

Æðelþryð and Una: "We know there's tons of thugs at the Palace Gates

Noki: "I'll cause a diversion, you kill them with these Ice Skates."

Oradis: "For the mood, I feel that this song seems quite improper"

HK-55: *whips out lamp-post junk, then* "Beep-Boop, Mother Fucker."

All: "Well the boys of the Norrux Mirugal Choir, were singing "Team G.L.I.P", hooray!! But we might not save Audra, by Christmas Day!!"

~~

Rectja: "Underagiha loyal hutt!! Ad ihgsga Bhutan?!"The Princess is my maiden!! As my slave, to me she's bound!!

FX-83ES-Model Number: 825690: "RECTJA TYRR HAS BEEN FOUND: PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION!!"

Sura: "There's thugs coming at us."

Alice: "Thanks, Captain Obvious!!"

BOOOM POW KAABOOOSH UUUUUURTTAAAAAAAAH!!!

...

Maarcuu: "Now that we've saved Audra, lets all go out and get drunk!!"

All: "YEAH!!

Well the boys of Rectja's Palace Choir, were singing "Team G.L.I.P", hooray!! We got back Princess Audra, on Christmas Day!!"

[Vash]

That moment when you come on and just feel happy all over that you're with cool people.

I've punched my heart six times to get rid of that feeling.

Fuck you all, you're amazing.

[Kyelin]

Oh my god...

I can't believe I missed this carol, it's amazing XD

I concur, you're all great and I love you all. I can't wait for the IC to get up and running again.

This is here now by the way.

[Kyelin]

Submitted my CS' to the bin. Looks like the crew is back in business ^^

[Sora1297]

Cool. And don't worry folks, the IC should be up in the next hour, assuming all goes well. I tried to piece together where we left of to the best of my ability, but if it has any continuity errors, then fuck you for finding them and don't bother mentioning them. Do I look like I give a shit if the continuity is fucked with?

Kidding, I love you all :3

I'll also probably set up a Skype (or some other kind of thing) group tomorrow or something so we can stay in touch off-site in case the site goes down again. If I do set it up, I'll let you guys know and any personal stuff like usernames I'll just ask for in PM.

[Pyro V]

Ana shoved into char bin.

Woo, DSM's back!

Dat carol needs to be sang at some point.

Shall rebuild Arus/Sura at some point tomorrow afternoon since I am sleepy and lazy now.

Also, going to again bring up Zuzen requiring lamppost junk.

Pirate pad, pirate pad, pirate pad, pirate PAD!!!

No, no, no, NO!! Pirate Pad is only for collabs and I already admitted my disinterest in the site after we went Collab crazy. Nobody is allowed using it for a while without approval of me. Not trying to be a hard ass, but its just not something I'd like to see happen again.

[Pyro V]

If I recall correctly, Sovvy, DSM, and I were doing the last of a series of collabs before it went out. Would it be fine to post that one,since it was kinda important, then switch back to our normal routine of single posts?

[TheSovereignGrave]

Got my stuff up in the Character Bin. All three of them.

And Pyro, I assumed Sora was gonna make a post that pretty much went over what happened and what was happening, and then we just continue from there.
