The Bearded One

[The Bearded One]

Welp, the Bearded One here; you may know me as the authour of The Niceties of Necromancy, or a co-GM of a whole slew of other roleplays... or, more probably, you don't know me at all!

But anyway, hello. I'm a fairly flexible guy; I don't really have any preferences, unless you would count 'everything at once' as a preference- a touch of comedy, a slice of horror, a hint of tragedy, a dusting of wonder, a frosting of adventure... that said, I tend to be drawn to sci-fi and fantasy roleplays where the world has been well thought out...

Speaking of which, my favourite hobby is creating worlds from the ground up; from religions to countries to rebellions to wars to geography to myths to legends to cultures to languages to songs to food to currencies to... well, you get the picture. Don't be scared away though; the worlds I use for roleplays are usually simple enough to understand without a whole lot of explanation, whilst still complex enough to be interesting.

Anyone who was a part of The Niceties of Necromancy (Hawlin, Riaxh, etc.), or sees this and would like to be a part of an adventure exploring the ruins of a post apocalyptic earth far flung into the future which has been shattered into an archipelago by misused magic... contact me, would ya?

Also, Hawlin, I saw your intro post. Hi!

[Hawlin]

Here.
I do not have anything on Lokia
I do not have anything on Nikolas

These are dark times for the kingdom...

[Riaxh]

This is awful. This is really really awful. I have character sheets and a couple of posts backed up from the old NN, but apart from that nothing. But It'd be a shame to end on this note! I'd be up for something once things have settled down a little.

[The Bearded One]

Certainly! I'm hardly going to give up just because of something like a complete wipe of the roleplay! The words we wrote live on, in our heads and our hearts! So long as we remember them those words shall never die, and their swirling mass of dancing literature shall blossom within, becoming a tree, from which new stories shall flow!

HIGHLY QUOTABLE INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH!

*ahem*

But yeah, I'm game for starting over/staring something new. It would have been nice if this had happened, say, a couple weeks BEFORE I restarted NN, but what can you do? "You cannot change the wind, but you can adjust your sails" and all that junk.

EDIT:
I just saw Hawlin's post and...

What? No Lokia?!!?!?!? That is terrible. That is... damn. I mean, we can rebuild the character sheet, but... damn. That suuuuuuuuucks. I take back what I said; everything is horrible, and the story is ruined.

Unless I can find my notes on Lokia amongst my enormous maze of notes on NN, anyway. Or rewrite them... well, a part of them, anyway. I had a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of notes.

[Riaxh]

By probing google a little I've managed to recover some 36 of the scattered pages of the old epic and *drumroll* the original Lokia CS from the OOC. I'm not sure if its the CS you're bothered about or more notes you've made separately, but I can post it here if you want or upload it/them to somewhere for your inspection?

Edit: or better yet you can see it for yourselves : http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:zA6eHRPId0sJ:roleplayerguild.com/showthread.php%3F33348-Nicities-of-Necromancy-OOC/page6+&cd=76&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk

[DarkDissolver]

Welcome back and perhaps you would be interested in my roleplay then? Link in my signature.

[Hawlin]

*Elbows random advertizement in the face*

You're my hero, Riaxh! *hugs ^^*
I would have been fine with rewriting everything in order to keep it relevant to the scenario, but that works just as well! :D

*Original Lokia salvaged*
I had the intention of making a highly magical version of Lokia named "Keepa" whose core was designed and crafted to contain mage souls and mana and run off of them for fuel. I didn't have the energy to work out the kinks.

On an unrelated note, I still have all of the information for the open Hextech thread if Beard needs time to redo NN. I have a mini thread with a definite end in mind that would require 4-5 people. It would not be like the last Open rp. With the definite end and Beard helping me...define...where it ends, I'm expecting no more than 50 pages, tops.

[Riaxh]

:D I was glad I could recover some of the old thread. Even some of the key bits like Kaiden's evisceration or Kornesin's confrontation with death.

And yeah, I've only got 4 modules this term so I've got plenty of time. Starting off with something of finite ambition might be a sensible idea too.

[The Bearded One]

Wow, you got Kornesin's death scene? I kept meaning to archive it, but never quite got around to it...

Anyway; I'd like a couple days to go over the opening bits I have and see if they need to be fixed up (not sure if they're the final versions) and separate the stuff in my notes that where specific to the characters that probably won't be showing up again, and rearrange the notes for the Triginavia corporation (I found them, but they're a mess of things all jumbled together), but I'm pretty much good to go.

That said, a mini thread would be a nice change of pace. All of the planning and replanning is fine, but a small break from the constant schemeing would be grand... also, delaying NN for a bit would give me time to write a proper opening for the IC, since the last one was rushed and made me cringe slightly.

[Riaxh]

I think I got part of it. Till the bit about the swords anyway. Its about every other page, with some gaps here and there.

[Hawlin]

I should get around to compiling and editing the prologue >_>
With that-

[Hawlin]

-Well, the first post decided to work once long enough for me to fix it up a bit...aaaaand now its reading corrupt.
WELL! That's 4.5 pages in WorDoc lost.

EDIT: False alarm, my comp is just stupid as all hell and doesn't know what "rename" means. Problem solved.

[The One]

You have not met The Only One, sir. This One shall show you if you choose.

[Hawlin]

Well I've met you, now...and I wish there was a moderator system in place so I could meet 100% less of you...forever.

On that note, Beard, the thread is ready to launch. However...This system is fucking medieval. I would like to have Rix along for the ride after the scam of an ending I gave with the first version. I have to apologize for the previious lack of an ending. I'm adapting the story to be more of a 3x1 (1 being me, Game Master)
On that note. FAIR WARNING: everyone a part of Hextech Dissolution will probably die.
Secrets secrets.
:3

ALSO, I'D GIVE MY LEG NOT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH SPAMMERS AND ADVERTIZEMENT PROFILES.
God FUCKing damnit, Mahz. Moderators? Did you really skip on BASIC FORUM SECURITY?
Fuck this. This may very well take place on the site I have been brought attention to. Beard, would you please tell Rix the thing about the NOT BEING HERE AND FUCK THIS SITE!?

[The Bearded One]

Now, now Hawlin; it never pays to get angry over spammers wishing for attention. That said, I'm not particularly happy about having them butting into the conversation with their endorsements for lackluster roleplays and intrusive comments that have naught to do with what we are discussing...

Now then, Hawlin and I have discussed it and we think, what with all the problems going on here, that we should probably migrate over to a different roleplay site- I've found one that seems like they do regular maintenance, so it should be... heck, with all the downtime the guild's been having, it's GUARANTEED to be more stable... and, so far, no spammers. I'll send you the link over PM.

I'm fine with dying in a roleplay. I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory holding off a monster for a few precious moments, but I can work with super sad depressing death out of nowhere. If I recall correctly, you're a fan of giving people the second type of death scene :P

[Nyxella]

Hey! Hey you! Guy! Hey guy! I remember seeing your name around Guild and was never one to draw boundaries between firsthand and secondhand allies, so Hi! Welcome back to the site that is so Freddy Kruger, it never truly dies. In saying that, it saddens me to see you and your pals wishing to leave over teething issues. Though, I cannot talk because I re-nested at a site recommended by, and allegedly home to, a few Guildies. In a time when this place is restored to all its showroom-worthy glory, I hope to catch your name somewhere familiar, like how it used to be. Toodles!
