[OOC] Darkness and Light

[Cultural Titan]

@jordy0403

Strictly speaking no. The lore is being rewritten because everything is carried over from several iterations of this rp ago. The only reason there aren't angels right now is because nobody has wanted to be one, however we will need to work something out if you want to be one as beings of pure light are not supposed to interact with this world. Demons have so its not impossible, but its not something that can just be.

I'm thinking a half angel, but, if I do, I guess I would have to put a large biography. Well, never hurt, I guess.

[Cultural Titan]

@jordy0403

that should be fine

[Absolis]

I'll be posting soon.

How's this?

Name: Jinx
Appearance: 6’ 2”, has a medium build and rough, tanned skin, tawny eyes, longish reddish brown hair with a streak of silver, hooded cloak, light leather armour, boots, rucksack
Age: 30 (Has the appearance and physique of 23)
Gender: Male
Race: Half Angel Half Human
Side: Sort of Light
Weapons: Hand and a half sword, long bow
Abilities/Powers: Enhanced speed, strength, reflexes, toughness, healing, slowed aging after 16 (half as slow), can summon grey feathered wings (Takes a lot of energy, has to sleep for quite a while afterwards.)
Talents: Good shot with bow, trained with sword, has various survival skills, has been trained in his mind (doesn’t always work)
Personality: Calm, bit of a jokester, normally friendly, rarely forgiving of things such as banditry or worse, extremely rarely angry
Biography: His mother said she didn’t know why they did it, and that it didn’t matter now, it was over. Jinx believed her at the time. Of course, she was on her death bed, and he was 6. When she died, he was taken ‘care’ of by another family of farmers. As in, he tended their fields most of the day, and he got three meals a day and a bale of hay to sleep on. That went on for 8 years, after which he ran away. Taking a weeks worth of food, a cloak and a bow, he ran, straight to the second closest village. He never saw them again. He found shelter with a paladin, Sir Jamie Drayle, too old to fight, too tired to do much service. The old paladin saw this as his final service to the divine. Training Jinx, he soon found out that he couldn’t train him like pure goodness, but tried his best to make Jinx more aligned to that side. Eventually leaving what he had come to think of as his home, he came back as soon as he could when he heard that Jamie was dying. He was there when the closest thing he had to a father died. Leaving Jinx everything he had, including the house, Jinx prayed for his first, and only, time.
Extras: He keeps the paladin’s house as a hideout in case something bad happens, and hasn’t sold any of his old armour, even if Jinx never uses it.

Tired. Will sleep on it. Probably will have questions in the morning.

@frengo my next post is up

[Legion02]

I'm sort of waiting until big ol' Dark Lord himself either gives orders or lets us do whatever we please.

@jordy0403

More improved strength with no context for what that strength can accomplish. I cannot hold this against you as I still even after bringing it up before still have not defined what my two characters can do with their super strength. Its just pretty prevalent across all the characters and undefined i every case. Again not actually something I can hold against the character. It says healing. Is this the ability to cast something like healing spells or a healing factor kind of thing to let him recover from his own wounds faster?

The backstory leaves me a little confused. Why is what his mother said on her deathbed important? Why did he run away from his foster family exactly? I mean there's plenty of reasons one can come up with, but as it is I am just left to assume that it vaguely has to do with not being loved enough by them or something. Why the second closest village and not the first closest village? His personality makes it seem like Jinx is actually a pretty okay guy. Why did he have such trouble accepting goodness especially given his angel blood? Finally I am not sure the significance of Jinx being half angel besides that it gives him cool powers. And I guess that's fine. I mean why does anyone choose any inspiration for a character? Cool powers is probably up there. That said an angel, a being of pure light, making it into this world and inseminating a woman is kinda a big deal to this world as it kinda breaks the rules. They aren't supposed to be here. Doesn't mean they can't. Demons have done far worse to the balance of the world. Or at least Nyarlathotep has. And because its a big deal to the world I would kinda hope that it would be important to their son as well.

You don't need to address everything, but these are the questions I have after reading the bio.

@Legion02

I need to bug Avanhelsing. I assume that's what was hold Leslie up before this weekend.

@Cubix

Forgot to answer your question about breakfast. I want to have at least one go around again and probably dole out a sort of punishment to Rida. We can probably hand wave the rest after that. Since permission has been given to use Lucinda for now I might get a post in for the king and queen later, but I am worried about doing Lucinda justice.

[Cubix]

Understood. I shall be in stand-by mode.

[Cultural Titan]

@Cubix

The other things is though for the sake of Sariel, Lethonel having a response would be helpful... I guess I can just try and work around it, and just describe the food coming in or something.

[Cubix]

Makes sense. I'll patch up a reply, then.

[Cultural Titan]

@Cubix

Thanks. I mean making things easier for me is totes the only thing that matters right?

[Cello]

Usually I don't disappear for weekends at a time but my best friend is off uni now so I'm being a little selfish and spending an excessive amount of time at his house.

I will have Nyarlathotep move things forward tomorrow.

[Cultural Titan]

@Cubix

You didn't mention the task Sariel gave Lethonel. Which is kinda what I was hoping for. Its fine though. I'll just work around it... when I'm done procrastinating and do some projects. Hurrah sloth.

[Cubix]

My bad, I was basing it off on the earlier posts about getting a book from the library-- the Deiran, as Sariel placed it. Thus, the prince suggested that Rida would help him at the library, gathering the books or whatnot. I'll just tweak it a little bit then.

[Cultural Titan]

@Cubix

oh that makes sense. I interpreted it as a library in the castle, which is not what I wanted, but you actually combined both things into the same thing in a clever enough way I just failed to realize. oops

@frengo my next post is up

@Absolis

If you fancy adventuring with the Rangers, I just presented you a golden ticket.

If not, have fun prancing around the countryside! :)

[Cultural Titan]

That took forever and it wasn't even very much. Oh and if anyone wants some sort of divine interaction to make things interesting let me know. it will come eventually anyway to put people on trail of plot things, but if you think you need it now, that's fine.

[Cubix]

I was thinking that the way to connect the happenings with the Ranger group with the Royal group would be either a messenger from their side could go to the kingdom to report the happenings, or a royal from the Royal group could go to Galuntrug (Alistair might be the prime suspect for this; maybe Lethonel and Rida, if the scholars would say that the Deiran was last seen to the north, somewhere near the Galuntrug).

Pretty much, we can't keep the events isolated from one another. Maybe it is time for the Rangers to meet the Royals? Hahaha XD This could also spark the first instances of combat between the two factions.
