Of Goats, Goblins, and Mages

That's a shame of you leaving.
I am accepted though?
Any suggestions on where I should enter the story?
Do you like the goblin or the spellborn better?

Like so?

Name: Rothe "Scribbleface" of the Lick-toad clan
Age: Young adult. The Lick-Toad clan doesn't read or keep track of time, so he doesn't know.
Gender: Male
Race: Goblin
Appearance: Short and a bit yellow for a goblin. His entire head is covered in blue markings. Crude letters and similar symbols run in streaks across his face aligned like words and sentences with no sense or meaning. Draped in large brown and red scarves over a bare torso and pants with many pockets.His hair is thick and brown. His eyes
Main Weapon: A large torch
Hexes (bad luck, weird smell, sneezing curse, sleep, etc.)
Personality: Easily distracted, exited or impressed. Hoping to meet less narrow people.
Other: The Lick-Toad clan lives deep in the jungle. Life in the wilderness is a daily struggle, and the goblins make sure that's true for everyone there.
His clan thrived trough brutality, unpredictability and stupid luck. They had unraveled the mysteries of the jungle.
Rothe however, never felt quite at home. As soon as the other kids figured this out he was naturally christened "the weird kid" and it was thus no surprise he became apprenticed to the clan's shaman. The following few years were the best of his life. He learned old goblin curses and how to speak to the dead. His curiosity and will to learn made him the perfect apprentice. Until the shaman died in a tragic and hilarious boar riding accident.
Being assigned the job of shaman and determined to keep learning he dug into the old man's old stuff.
Among the piles of weird things he found scrolls and books looted from lost adventurers.
He took them for his own and secretly he used them to teach himself to read.
In secret because reading is taboo in Lick-Toad culture. The words are stolen from your head and onto the page.
But his curiosity wouldn't let that stop him.
Eventually of course he was caught with the book a year later and the whole town banished him for his heinous crime of literature.
But not before they marked him with all the letters that'd he'd read using the ceremonial tattoo ink.
Now everyone who would see him would know of his deeds.
Except of course that no one outside the tribe knows of these dogma's but these aren't really the kind of people who think things trough that far.

My Internet was unavailable the past 3 days. Is this still possible to get into at this point?

Name: Datumuth Datura (Datum for short)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Spellborn
Appearance: 1,8 meters tall, Age 27, long wavey white hair and eyes that shine in a different color every time you look. His posture stands proud and confident.
True Appearance: 1,56 meters tall, short brown hair and eyes that shine a dim white.
Main Weapon: Illusionary sword
Personality: Datum is inexperienced and isn't very sure of himself but hides it behind a veil of bravura and style powerful enough to convince himself.
When it comes to magic he loves to try and invent new and interesting ways to use his illusions for sometimes ridiculous purposes.
Often for recreation purposes he experiments with herbs and magic powders to try and enhance his illusions.
Other: Illusion magic. He can shape magic to be any image, sound, smell or feeling. But he can only affect the senses, nothing real.
Examples are the permanent spell he's woven around himself that makes him appear more impressive than he is.
Or the illusionary magic blade he keeps by his side. The blade can take varying forms and sizes, but is illusionary. The wounds drawn by this weapon are in the mind of the person struck. If they believe to take lethal damage they will faint, but they aren't hurt.

Pokemon Adventures

Interwabs are back on.
I posted. Hope 5 days wasn't too much on peoples patience.

Pokemon Adventures

The last mile or to the forest had been downhill.
Tony casually rode down the hill on his new bike won in a duel.
There was a dirt road leading into the forest, Tony assumed it'd be the one going to town so he followed it.
Not caring much for scenery he raced trough the forest, plants and trees zipping by, turning into a green and brown blur.
Suddenly there hung a hand from above before him and as he raced forward it slapped him in his face.
Out of surprise he slammed the brakes and stopped a few meters down the road.
He looked around to see an Aipom looking back at him as surprised as he was, from atop a branch above the road.
Then looking to the side he saw a bird pokemon rushing in their direction.
Tony stood perplexed and watched in silence.

The Blood Compact: Turn Back The Clock

I had no interwabs this weekend
It was an ordeal
But I'm back.
Now I got to think of whatever is a genius place to hide out a supernatural inter species war.

The Blood Compact: Turn Back The Clock

"Yeah, I'll miss out on some perks.."
Bouwe looked at the vehicular chaos on the streets.
"But I still have over a hundred years of experience, that's got to count for something.
He stepped out of the car and walked to the side of the street. Casually he took a little pin from his pocket and jammed it in the lock of a door.
"When you combine a century of tricks with some human ingenuity.."
Click.
The lock surrendered and Bouwe gently pushed the door open.
"Let's hide here for now then."

The Blood Compact: Turn Back The Clock

Sten slowly fell silent. He stood there unable to move.
The vampire was cold. He didn't know what to do.
Finally he decided that there was nothing he could do, and somehow found comfort in that.
As he cleared his mind the voices calmed down and became clearer.
Until only a single voice echoed trough his head.

"̢̀͡ Sorry "̸̶̴͠

Of Goats, Goblins, and Mages

Is this still open?

The Blood Compact: Turn Back The Clock

Kilo point currently has two crisis areas.

On one side Gabriel has made an appearance.
Naturally there was a bloodbath.
Mithias rushed out to meet him. Matt got cought in the situation.
A by standing SOLDIER went batshit.
Gabriel has left, so Mithias and Matt are about to deal with the aftermath.
They don't know if Gabriel is part of Magnus's plans. But signs point to Gabriel having complicated plans.

The other side has Hale putting the heat on a soldier outpost containing five (four now?) brave SOLDIERs played by fox.
They are assisted by Aono Tsukune, whom we know pretty much nothing about yet.
What follows will most likely be a fight scene that requires excessive amounts of metal.

Meanwhile Bouwe and Angela are driving trough downtown, on their way to the SOLDIER HQ.
No one knows of their involvement. Although Gabe and Mith have ways of knowing these things.
