Bio

Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I got started with writing online on the Spore forums. Man, those were the days. We're talking like 12 years ago 2010-ish!

I've been here on and off for almost as long, and have GM'd a bunch of different things to varying success.

Word of my splendor:

Understandable. I'd encourage you to look at the IC for a bit though; I've seen RPs with a dozen people churn out two posts a day. This might not be as hard to keep up with as you think. If you do change your mind, the nature of this RP will make it easy for you to pop back in once we've started.

In other news, I made a little map of the world with MS Paint. It's fairly simple: we start out in the real backwater south, and as we grow stronger we'll just march north to where there are bigger places to conquer. If humans get boring there are some elves and dwarves hiding off to the side, too.



I saw some question as to whether this was Earth a few pages back. BBeast answered it and he was right, this is a different land. Any ideas for cool names?

@Cyclone Sorry, nearly finished with the post, collabing with someone already.
Fear not, you and I will collab soon and bring you into existence ;) but when I finish with the current collab I need to get some important work done, so won't be able to do it right after. Perhaps in 6 hours or so, if you're still up by then.


Oh, I didn't realize you were going to make the humans so soon! In six hours or so I may be able to; we'll see.
If you find an error in the stats, tell me.

Oh, and by the way, I call dibs on creating humans xPPP but if anyone wants to collab, I'm open to it ;)


When were you going to do that, since I was hoping to make my hero a human? I could collab with you on it if you like. Perhaps Ialu (yeah, pretty sure I'm going with that name) could be the first human created? Or maybe a defective one that won't accept being some lowly mortal in a world full of nothing but ants and gods.

In other news, I read through the IC and am now caught up.
That post of mine was rather short, but the pace is slowing so I figured I'd put it up now rather than wait to add more.
The Sultanate of Tin

The Zanjir Archipelago
Dhaka, Provincial Capital


Hasun rose up in the morning earlier than most, getting out of a small bed in his equally small bedroom. As a captain of the Janissaries and the commander of this garrison, he enjoyed the privilege of having his own room within the barracks. The tiny cell even had a window; as he rose to his feet, the veteran soldier gazed out to enjoy the view. The glistening ocean was gilded with the brilliant amber of the dawn's first rays of sun.

With a yawn, the Hasun prepared for himself a similarly amber colored drink: a sweet and savory mixture of the juices of several tropical fruits native to the Zanjir. He preferred such juices in the mornings over the more popular, unnatural narcotic known as coffee. Such drinks weakened a man's resolve and fortitude, and it was said that soon enough a man would become dependent upon the coffee in order to even feel alive in the mornings.

After eating a light breakfast, the still dazed commander donned his uniform as he had to appear in that outfit everywhere except for the room that he was in now. A minute later, Hasun left his room and walked through the barracks, careful to not wake his men (these were the night shift, of course, as the day soldiers would have been awake long before dawn) at such an hour, for they needed their rest. After a brief trip to grab the day's newspaper, Hasun returned to his room feeling less fatigued. This newspaper was called the Truth of Tin. Some things in it were reported truly enough, such as the status of ongoing military conflicts and new laws. The rest was little more than propaganda, as this particular newspaper was written and printed by the government itself. Still, Hasun read the paper because it was provided to freely to any who cared to take it.

He read the newspaper. From it he learned rather little about the new Sultan, much to his disappointment. Perhaps he would learn more about the new monarch as time went on. When he finished reading about the status of the realm, the commander walked to drill his men. Granted, he had sergeants for seeing to such things, but the men appreciated a leader that they could see and know. Besides, Hasun needed his practice too.

The moment that he was out the door he suddenly found himself on his back: the entire central square that he had stepped into violently erupted into flames. As the bomb went off, its concussive force knocked the commander down and showered him with splinters of burning wood and pebbles from the pulverized cobblestones. Some of those that had been closer to the blast were in blown into pieces or set aflame.

His ears ringing and his eyes blinded by light, Hasun tried to cry out, "Fire!"

All that came out was a hoarse croak before he swallowed a mouthful of smoke and erupted into a fit of coughs. All around, the soldiers on patrol were rushing to the scene. With no visible enemy, all the wounded were evacuated. The city was promptly put under martial law, and soldiers detained everybody that they caught near the square or trying to leave the city. In the chaos, Gustavo and his men slipped out.
@Cyclone Just to ask am I still aloud to make a character? Lot of people showed up over night XD


Screw it, I'll let you. But you're the last one! Everybody else can wait a week or so until I decide whether to reopen this or not.
Okay, everybody so far is accepted and we now have like 20 people. For now I'm closing this RP to more. It may be reopened later, so to anybody that didn't quite make the cut, check back later!

Anyways, the character sheet was moved to the OP. I also added another section to the sheet for a character's wants and needs. That is mostly just there to help me figure out how the Dungeon Keeper should reward/motivate you. So for instance, a really bloodthirsty character might just get sent on more missions. A greedy one might be gifted with some plundered gold. And our resident vampire will probably just get a swimming pool of blood :P
@Kangutso

I went through the IC and @mention'd all the names I saw. What with your writer's block I didn't see your name :P

But anyways, I see you found your way over there. That's good because I am slamming the door shut on that RP; we have an insane amount of people in.
Hmm, researching things for demigod lore, and I found this. Rather interesting read:

Found this gem in that list:

Adonis, The God of Trees
--They can tell what kinds of trees there are.
--They can sense nature.
--They can control trees.


Control trees?

"GROW! DO PHOTOSYNTHESIS! DROP YOUR LEAVES TO THE GROUND!"

That has to be so lame.
I get the vibe that Tinkerhel being a masochist is really going to get on the boss's nerves.

"YOU FAILED ME! TO THE TORTURE PIT!"
"Thanks, boss!"
