Bio
uhhhh, hi there
I am here and I sorta exist so yes this is my ‘bio’ and it will probably be rather brief and suck and be sloppy, just like me.
So, without further ado..
• Most people call me Barti or Bart as well as a few other things since it’s just easier or meaner than the actual thing - I invite you to do so as well.
• I’m a 23-year-old (bday June 20th!) Texan who enjoys thunderstorms and rain far too much, and likes anime, running, metal music, and copious amounts of DRUGS candy, among many other cool things - like DnD and MTG.
• I enjoy group rps as well as 1x1s. For groups I have what I think is a decent array of interests, most of it being profusely weeb-y. I like Fantasystuffs (Modern especially), supernatural themes, pretty much all Japanese stuff - including historically accurate settings - as well as general dark/grim themes, comedic slice of life trash, academy rps, unique plots, etc. etc. As for 1x1s I pretty much do romance, but I can do non-romantic stuff too if you give me something to work with xP
The only genre I find myself not entirely comfortable with is really sci-fi stuff, but, if the plot/idea catches me enough it can hold my interest. Oh, and my writing level is high casual to low advanced.
• I’m a sarcastic, snarky, bipolar-depressed, degenerate garbage can, but generally people seem to like me (I don’t know why in the hot hell you would) - but if you would also like to be my friendo lemme know.
I don’t bite.
Usually owo xd rawr

Coolio. I will have my post up tonight.
@Bartimaeus
Don't post just yet. A fight has broken out, so you'll need to roll initiative and wait for your turn.
Ah, okay! Arkisz rolled 13
Sorry I been sparse the past few days, I'll get my post up today ^^
Welcome newcomer!
@XxFellsingxX True, lol. Rather surprising.
Also if I do replies too fast or anything like that, feel free to lemme know, anybody.

Arkisz Yennen
Arkisz observed the magical energies his spell allowed him to detect, stowing the information for now, as nothing seemed outstandingly worrisome - the spell would remain active until he chose to stop focusing on it. The fading abjuration magic he sensed did, however, pique his interest, as it had a hint of.. unfamiliarity to it. Even so, it did not seem to help the two who were now lying at their feet.
He waited for a moment in which there was no speaking before relaying the information in short. He then split his attention between keeping tabs on the sounds inside - being a tad distracted at the calmness within - and his teammates making a plan of entry. His eyes remained on the door, straying up to the window every few seconds to make sure nothing happened to surprise them.
His eyes didn't leave the door as he spoke. "Seeing as they seem.. unperturbed by our presence-" He began, nodding towards the unworried sounds that passed faintly through the closed port, "-I am not sure how effective goading them would be." Arkisz paused, listening again for any irregular commotion, before he continued in his typical calm tone. "However, the door and the window do not seem to be directly magically trapped. So an engagement on our part does not seem unwise."
It was after a short pause when he finished that a strange, metallic pack of sorts that rested upon the Vedalken's back began to shift. Long, spindly spires of metal shifted and extended downwards before other parts unfolded and came to meet them - several metal plates converging and latching together as they mirrored the movements of another such collection of pieces, both of which ultimately formed a sturdy, metallic limb of sorts. This happened several times over even as a larger clump of odd circuitry and metal bits that rested more closely to his middle-back shifted and formed whatever it was they were designed to. Conclusively these mechanisms served to transform the large, odd-looking metallic satchel that rested on Arkisz's back into a surprisingly sizable, complicated-looking metallic creature which crawled off of the Artificer and planted its limbs onto the ground next to him, its several small hand-like limbs twiddling underneath it as it observed its surroundings. This was his Steel Defender.
"I would prefer to take the door, if possible."

I kinda like how the window is within normal climbing ability but everyone is just like "Naw, magic." :P
Arkisz Yennen
It was quickly that a plan was decided upon, and even quicker that it was executed. Arkisz was content to listen through the musings of his comrades, finding Rala's approach rather agreeable - they did indeed have the upper hand, or at least it seemed so. Taking one alive wouldn't be the worst idea. Most people, even if bandits, could usually be reasoned with if given-
The thought itself was interrupted by the swiftness of the attack. Rala had readied her shortbow and loosed an arrow in but a second or two, the projectile launching forward at one of the bandit guards. As Arkisz's eyes followed and he began to shift his focus to the components of a spell, his eyes flicked to Aura, who had already begun casting. It was a swift follow-up to the arrow as three beams of searing energy shot forth and struck one of the guards only but a second or so after the first was struck by Rala's arrow.
The Vedalken lowered his hand, seeing as though an additional attack was now unneeded. He glanced at the two of his companions in what one could only assume was the equivalent to a silent nod of admiration. "Well then. Nicely done." In other circumstances, it would've been more like him to question the outright brutality with which the guards were dispatched - but these bandits had shown previously that they were ready to kill innocent people themselves, so the thought stayed itself on its own. The stillness that followed the attack was short-lived as a figure popped its head out of the tower door before quickly disappearing inside once again.
"Unfortunate timing."
Arkisz began moving from his spot in the treeline as the figure disappeared from view, their advantage of surprise clearly no longer in place. He drew a fine-looking Bastard sword from a scabbard resting on his left hip as he increased his pace to a fast jog. His head turned, sparing a glance behind him to make sure his companions followed, even though they assuredly would. The more time they allotted these 'bandits' to prepare and/or barricade themselves in, the worse.
As he drew closer to the tower he would focus again, remembering the procedures for casting this particular spell easily. His unoccupied hand would draw a motion and the spell would activate, allowing him to Detect Magic within 30 feet, which he measured the height of the tower to be, roughly. He would then shift his hand to slip the shield from his back, gripping it readily as he approached. Although the spell may not be entirely necessary, something odd was going on, and any heads-up as to nearby magic would be welcomed in his eyes.

Arkisz Yennen
Arkisz stooped to avoid a low-hanging branch as the party approached the end of their relatively short trek, marked by the appearance of the dilapidated tower previously described to them by the town elders. His eyes, like the rest of the party, scanned the scene before him as thoroughly as they could from such a distance. It was somewhat of an odd situation they had come to face, or at least it appeared so -- had these individuals been bandits hoping to ambush mercantile wagons, they would have probably hidden themselves better - or if they had hoped to set an attack to pillage the town, one would think they'd have done so before being noticed - or at least, this was as far as Arkisz could reason. Truth be told, the whole affair had an air of concern to it, moreso than one might normally feel.
Nevertheless, the Vedalken watched on as one of his companions, Aura, sent forward her familiar to acquire a better view in nonchalant fashion. His brow furrowed as she relayed what the bird saw, the lot of them crouched in the cover beneath the trees. A worrisome scenario indeed. He listened to the thoughts of his fellow travelers as his eyes once again searched, following along any other treelines in sight to ensure there wasn't further threat lurking nearby - but it seemed they had enough on their plate as-is with the tower seemingly full of hostile individuals. His eyes turned back to the hushed planning.
"Hmm. It is indeed odd that they are expecting our approach. Perhaps a forward scout had been set up outside the town and avoided our detection. In any event...the span between us and them may be rather difficult to creep through without detection - it is quite open." He spared a look at the rest of the party, as if to measure how prepared they seemed to fight. "While it may seem a somewhat simple solution, a surprise attack could be effective. My ability to deliver at range is not the greatest, but I can manage if this is the path we choose - albeit I am not sure if there are many other options." He concluded, his steady voice simply neutral and informative as he did so. He watched the faces of his comrades to gauge their reaction to Aura's plan in the meantime.
