Old Knight, and a New Dawn - Crawkid/43

The storm continues to rage, though the ditch and its branches protect from all but the chill and some of the rain. And it isnt the only danger. Having conquered the capital, footsteps from both man and beast can be heard, searching the immediate area for stragglers and survivors - would-be refugees who could get the message out and grow a resistance to the new regime.

After an hour, however, the storm took its toll even on soldiers full of adrenaline and bloodlust. Drenched and cold, they slowly return to the city limits to celebrate their victory in comfort. The storm has been merciful in one regard tonight: its winds have provided shelter, its thundering provided a muffle affect, and its chaos has shielded at least two survivors.

It too passes, going on its own way and eventually dissipating. Silence soon shrouds the night, broken by drops of water from the treetops...and a very shallow, weak breathing.

A man was still unconcious under the brush, now discoverable by the little fox girl. And though details would still be difficult to see for the rest of the night, his state of health had clearly declined from that of a normal man. His breathing was slow and shallow, perhaps so quiet as to be inaudible to a regular human, and his skin was cold and clammy from the rain. As it was, his chances of survival would be slim.

Old Knight, and a New Dawn - Crawkid/43

Thunderstorms and lightning crack the dark night with both sound and light.

While the rest of the country slept soundly, the entire royal family has been killed. The capital city was on fire, and its streets covered in blood. Its ominous glow penetrated the night, acting as a massive bonfire, heralding the end of an age.

It's with this light that one individual used to luminate his way out of danger, and its darkest shadows would also cloak him from any pursuers. A once proud figure, he had discarded anything that would once proclaim his honor, valor, and oath to what was now a forgone master. He kept only the barest of armor, and even that was somewhat cumbersome, as he trudged and slid through the building layer of mud.

Finally, a nearby flash of lightning gave him pause, and a particularly powerful gust of wind made him slip. This sorry figure, who was once the strongest and most trusted knight of a kingdom, was flung off his path of escape, and laid low in a muddy ditch - his body covered with broken branches as he fell into an unconscious state.

His dreams were no more merciful than the storm had been.

He could hear the rumble of distant thunder, as he found himself in a dark void. Beneath his feet, he stood on a tiny island of just bare earth, soaked in blood. The smell was overwelming, but there was nothing for him to do there. Nowhere for him to go. All he could do was wallow in his failure, as another storm brewed. This one's winds would sound more and more like screams as it came closer. Surely, it would eventually drag him off the island, and back into the void.

Name: Ray/Rain Peerson
Race: magical human
Magic type: single word spellcasting
Personality: Ray is a natural leader, not because he likes to take charge, but because he cares for others. He tends to take pride in his usefulness, and likes to help guide others into feeling confident with their own gifts. However, after failing to protect the royal family that he swore himself to, Ray has a tendency to be overcome with grief, and suffer from survivors guilt. He does whatever he needs to do to survive, but often questions his own worth

First Post!

Gunna cook on the intro a little

@Crawkid Couldn't really get into Accel World. Kawahara accidentally struck gold with Gun Gale Online (and even then expanding upon it went to other creators), but other than that, not a fan. I like the aspect of a not-so-attractive, socially awkward person getting hold of a bit of power though.

@Cleveraptor

AH, sorry, havent watched that either

Added a new plot idea. Slice of life gamer shenanigans inspired by "And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online?".

@Cleveraptor

Havent watched this, but have you watched "Accel World", and would you be interested in a setting like that? its a bit more VR and hidden society geared though

Behind The Light - crawkid/megara

The Country of Panacea, The Capital City, Helios.
The City of Light, run by the Council of Gears - A council made from representatives of every race and every guild, every walk of life.

Helios is a 'golden city', though that is a misnomer. Most of the metallic sheen seen all over is infact copper or brass, not gold. Yet it is called as much because of the shining light of the people's hope, and the many opportunities that are said to be here. Everyone is cared for, everyone can thrive, or so they say.

Long ago, it and the country of Panacea was created with a vision of peace and equality. It was supposed to be the leading light, the goal post for all of society- both technological and magical. Thus, it was made to be ruled by a grand council, and no king or queen. These days, most believe this is still true, but some say that the light is dimming.

Our story begins in one particularly metal section of the city- here gears are produced, clockwork is competitive, and daily life is run on steam and engineering than it is by magic.
