no need to apologize. you are passionate about your world and it shows. all of it was very helpful. thank you. well i think that is all the questions i have. anymore pop up I'll be sure to ask, but until then, cheers. :3
wow i am yet again amazed by how put together this is. i'm wouldn't be surprised if you had a map so i won't even ask. now I must ask which races are playable and how they are connected to Samara. Seing as magic is in short supply how is demand? could one play a magic user? perhaps play a character which has mixed science and magic? for example a chemist/alchemist that likes to play with magical ingredients. when he can find them of course. Think modern day Dr. Jeckyl wel as modern as the rp would allow. Also could such a character be a traveling dwarf? perhaps a mobile medicine man selling his crack pot experomental medicine? the more i write the more my potential character fleshes out so i better stop now incase i'm going way off course. :3
yeah i'd probably rule this dead unfortunately. i'm here but seeing as like half of the cast is gone along side little going on i just dont see it going anywhere. sorry tau. :(
what races are available and where do they hail? how advanced is the science and how advanced is the magic? also how advanced are the weapons? have their been or is there any major conflicts beside the one that happened and is happening in Samara?
ps. This seems well put together I'm honor and surprised to post first interest.
Trystan was going to say pretty much what every one else ended up saying when all hell broke loose. Jessie tried introducing himself and asking to join up, Appalacia blew up, and he knew what was happening with Serenity as soon as she started to move. Trystan knew it was best to just let her vent. She was as fiery as the fire types she owned. Then Reggie jumped in. Trystan physically face palmed himself. He had dealt with guys like Jericho his whole life and you did not talk to them like that. Nine times out of ten it got your ass in trouble. Trystan hoped this would be one of those lucky tenth times where the asshat is impressed and backs down. For all their sakes he prayed it would be.
Trystan stepped forward patting Reggie on the back. "Thank you for that lovely speech there Reggie. I for one was truly moved, but don't make it a habit to speak for others. It might come back to bite you. Just a little pro tip." He said before turning to Serenity and Apalacia. "Now ladies before we say or do anything we may regret lets take care of this." He unlatches Serenity's hand from Apalacia's arm. "There. Now, let's all take a deep breath." He says before doing so. "This little group needs to remember we have a town depending on us as well and we are literally in the middle of it arguing like we have no sense at all." He said indicating the concerneed looks of the citizens in the sqaure around them. "Can we at least leave them with a picture to be proud of not one that reminds them they are depending on a bunch of bickering teenagers?"
When Serenity started Trystan removed his hand only to be met by her sweet smile. Returning it with his own he nodded to her words. "I suppose so, but still if were gonna make it through this we gotta stay focused." He said matter of factly patting her back assuringly. He then followed her gaze over the rest of the crowd and he shared her concerns.
As he watched on the happenings about the crowd he couldn't help but damn the government and their damned war. Sure recruiting kids like him and Serenity might make a difference, but Trystan just couldn't see the potential in the others. Well maybe a couple, and he wanted to be hopeful for the rest, but Serenity made a good point.
"Rough no doubt. I feel ya, but like I said we gotta stay focused and a positive outlook just might help. Sure things look grim, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't trust others. We're all this town has. That practically makes us family. Sure a bit dysfuctional for now, but I'm sure it'll get better. We gotta believe it will." He said trying to keep Serenity positive. If they were going to have an eye out for each other their vision needed to be clear and one in the same.
Trystan knew most if not all the others personally more or less. He had either seen them around town while on one of his odd jobs or done a job for their folks or even done a job for someone else that involved them in some way like deliveries. He could trust them as far as he could throw them, but he certainly hoped for more for most of them.
Serenity shook him from his thoughts asking about his pokemon. "Oh yeah, they're itching to go. Eager little buggers. Could barely keep them still for breakfast. I'll be fine. I've hauled more than this from one side of town to the other perfectly fine on my own. Speaking of Ponyta how she and your Charmander getting along?" He asked as he adjusted his pack and rifle to show he was perfectly capable of carrying them on his own.
Trystan had gone to bed early the night previous and had woke up just as early. Around 5'o'clock Trystan rose from his bed and dressed in a heavy sweat suit. He was going for a morning jog and he wanted a good workout before leaving. Exiting his apartment he jogged around the block a few time before jogging to the town park. As he ran in the empty park as the sounds of the waking wildlife greeted him he thought of his parents. He thought of his brother and sister. He even thought about his newly accuired pokemon.
This damned war had killed his folks and took his siblings away from him, but he understood it. He understood it as soon as he introduced himself to his pokemon. Something about having your own changes your whole outlook on them. The north was known for using them as simple means to an end, but they are more than that. He knew it just from knowing his own for this short time. That is why he vowed to end this war by any means nessisary.
As the morning sun rose Trystan continued his workout. Using the playground equipment to his advantage he did pull ups and other manuevers. An alarm on his watch sounded alerting him it was half past 6 and time to go home and get ready to go. When he returned home he released his pokemon from their pokeballs. "Rise and shine you two. Got a long and exciting day ahead of us. Who wants breakfast?" He asked with a smile. His Zubat and Sandile cried out excitedly. They were young and hopeful, but Trystan knew they were strong and eagar to please. Good traits in pokemon ment for war.
Trystan made a big breakfast for the three of them. Eggs, sausage, Blukberry pancakes, and potato and mushroom hash. It was probably going to be their last true meal in a very long time so he wanted it to be memorable. After breakfast Trystan took a long hot shower. Another luxory he wanted to remember while on the road. When he finished he dressed in his father's old military fatigues and packed a spare set in his pack. Strapping his belt on he returned his pokemon to their balls and secured them to it. Finally he gave his rifle a once over and stepped out the door.
Oddly enough he sort of blened into the crowd as no one recognied him in the uniform he was wearing. He just looked like another soldier walking among them. It sort of made it easy on Trystan. Not really wanting to go through goodbyes with people he knew he walked on to the fountain square they were ordered to meet at. Already a few trainers had arrived. Some he knew more than others, but one stood out with her long red hair. Serenity was an old friend. They met on the primary school playground years ago. He walked up behind her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"Hey Serenity. You look like we ain't coming back. Don't be so pessimistic. You got nothing to worry about. I got your back." He said with a smile. Sure they could never come back, but Trystan wasn't much of a negative thinker. To him you think about the negativity you get the negativity.
