Current It's been three years since we lost Polymorpheus, a dear friend. It's felt like a lot longer, that time. I still think about Poly every so often, and how I miss them so very much. I won't forget them.

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..

stuff about me

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

welppp...I guess that’s okay for now
thanks for reading, you potatoes

Pokémon isn't something one can just pass up - trust me, I've tried.
I too have quite a few ideas for such a setting, so let's see where it takes us!
Yeah, things are okay. I just have a difficult time retaining inspiration for things, regardless of how much I enjoy them. I have enjoyed the company of you folks while I was here though, short as it may have been. The full OOC was pretty refreshing honestly - but my mind is a fickle thing. It's hard to keep a sense of inspiration for things that don't perfectly fill multiple specific niches for me - which is an unreasonable and difficult-to-fill expectation. That's not to say I'm unengaged with the RP, I just don't feel I can write for it as well/as consistently as I like or as it deserves.
I figured the current moment was probably the least intrusive time to make my notice.
I have no qualms with it myself.

That can be Arkisz's ultimate goal: make himself mentally linked with his Defender the same way Aura is linked with Hawk xD It would probably save him a lot of trouble.


Pff, truee.
Arkisz Yennen

Arkisz was still a bit conflicted as to whether the two remaining cultists deserved death without a trial of some sort, but there was little way to ensure their survival as things stood. So as Nanna may withdrew a wand and had her lackeys approach, he had ultimately little desire to try and stop them. As his vision cleared from the flash, he lowered his shield, clearing the room with his eyes as the Defender clashed about below.

Said Steel Defender seemed to be having a bit of trouble maneuvering carefully while trying to investigate every possible spot it could find for traps. It came abruptly to it that there was something in its path as Aura's hawk began to speak. It's voice matched the Air Genasi's. Now, the Steel Defender was reasonably perceptive - Arkisz has been traveling with Aura for a reasonable time, and she sometimes may have needed to communicate with the Defender itself. But it would not forsake orders. So it took a compromise, and halted its advance in the middle of the room, waiting for its master.

Arkisz meanwhile watched as Aura's senses returned to her and she began to speak of the situation below. He paused in thought for a moment. "Hm, yes.. I believe my friend may need some recalibrations - he is not usually so clumsy.." With that, he leaned towards the basement door and placed two fingers between his lips, loosing a whistle with a particular hooked shrill on the end. There was a moment of pause before the sound of light metallic tappings could be heard ascending the steps once more. He turned his attention back to the group, minus Flicker, again. "With your description, there is the potential for rather valuable trinkets down there. I wouldn't have taken the Hag at her word.."



I just realized I had Arkisz mentally command the Steel Defender in my last post - which he cannot do. Not sure why I thought he could, but I will fix that, lol. Making my post atm. I, unfortunately, have another headache lmao.
Posted! I've a bit of a headache so hopefully it is okay.
Arkisz Yennen

Arkisz let a low wince slip from his lips as his shieldhand pressed against the now-torn leather of his pants - the cut on his thigh sizable, but of no need for concern in the current moment. His eyes stayed forward as he watched the last of the cultists betrayed and killed by their own leader - followed by a grotesque display of said leader's.. unusual palette. He nearly felt it apt to avert his eyes, but didn't, as he felt something else was off about her. His gaze slowly carried over her as he realized she was more than she seemed. His gloved hand tightened around the hilt of his blade as he realized what exactly the nature of this woman was - not that his blade would provide him much protection from such a being.

He watched and listened as she spoke - his instincts causing him caution, but his mind causing him intrigue. He knew of hags, but had never met one in person, as far as he could tell. She was...odd, to say the least. But this was expected, considering the nature of hags.

Her monologue was more telling than Arkisz expected her to be - if one assumed she was being truthful - interrupted only by frustrations of the two wounded men upon the floor. He did not speak for a time, mulling over whether or not it would be apt to fully trust this hag at her word - which, it obviously would not be. He considered her offer to allow them to loot the basement, but was quick to brush it to the side. There were more important matters at hand. With a short glance downward and to his side, he signaled his Steel Defender, with a short wave of his hand, to march forth into the basement and check it for any traps. It would move slowly at first, so as to show it meant no harm, before it approached the trap door and methodically inspected every foot of space as it began to descend. Arkisz's own gaze turned back to the hag.

He spoke up. "You charmed these 'evil souls', did you not?" He inquired, his gaze cutting a straight line through the air and meeting her face. "These people could have been committing acts of violence under your purview. As a being of your stature.. it is very possible." His eyes remained glued to her face, though not unaware of motions around him. He made sure to apply focus to movements either of the hag's lackeys might make. While it was unlikely his lot would be able to best a Night Hag, they definitely wouldn't be able to if they were caught off guard. He meanwhile searched the hag's face for any particularly interesting signs that may betray her words. He, however, had never met a night hag - and wasn't even sure if they had telling expressions to them.



Sorry for the lack of post on my part. I WILL get one out tomorrow, even if I have to DIE >:[
assuming there is no post order again, I'll get my post up tonight or tomorrow!
