I'm sure shaitarn has got a reason why he's not posting. Sometimes real life can be very possessive - can tell that from my own experience. :)

@Eviledd1984 Madawc squinted. That type of bright magic spell he saw... it wasn't the first time. That clearly pointed out to one thing. The demon got off the horse and took the hammer from his back, tightening the grasp around the shaft. The Red Dove... those bloody bastards! Not that he would decline the fact that a bunch of those goblins got toasted, but if the senses of the one that spell came from were as good as the magic was, he had trouble incoming. He still wasn't sure if he should make an attempt to get away, but according to his experience it already was too late for that.

Should I wait for @HopelesRomantis or post straight away ?

Fae Wild (Always Open)

@Eviledd1984@HopelesRomantis Madawc hid himself in the woods that were near the village. In one hand he held the reins of his second horse, with the other hand he pushed away some small branches so he could see more clearly what was going on. There was a lot of noise and lot of movement that asked for identification. What he saw made him decide instantly not to progress any further. The two guys that he saw charging in seemed to get the situation under their control quite efficiently, and he was not good at hitting goblins. Probably the two swordsmen would come his direction, so he prepared for a confrontation as his chances of getting away quick enough were slim.

Name: Madawc Trellnik

Race: Human (demonically infested)

Age: 32

Bio: Madawc was once a normal man who served in the army of Meche. As the world is prone to descend into carnage, it didn't take that long for him to be involved in battle. A field covered with death sometimes does attract more than hungry scavengers. Having taken an arrow's hit thought to be lethal, some strange, incorporeal entity intruded him. It was not the way it is commonly told in horror stories: There was no hidden, epic and possibly eternal struggle between Madawc's mind and the demon's will, but they embraced each other as the demon had planned: You just have to offer the straw in the right moment. Not too soon, not too late. The demon did his best to temporarily seal his wounds so he could get away. After his recovery, Madawc soon found out how cunningly his new 'partner' had waited for the right moment, but it was too late for feeling angry. He was alive thanks to it, and as the demon didn't make the mistake of being too fast too intrusive when it came to Madawc's thinking, they were able to live on together and merge slowly into one new entity, sharing the same, transformed body and both having their share out of the deal they made over time.
There are quite a few organizations that would appreciate him getting caught: High commanders in the military of Escudo know about his existence and are eager to study him - perhaps there's something their magicians could learn from. The Red Dove would like to decapitate him outright for being what he is.

Personality: To call him evil would be evil, to call him harmless would be foolish. He's an introvert who doesn't like to tell much about himself, especially not the truth, as this could easily attract those who want to harm him. However he knows that he's strong in his own way and can make his stand against lone scouts and attackers. It would not be for the first time for him to crush someone. There's no reason to hide in the wilderness all the time - one can make preparations, disguise oneself and have a watchful eye for one's environment.

Appearance: Madawc is of average height, but he has very broad shoulders, a prominent breast and thick arms and legs, indicating a lot of muscle. Who looks more closely when he's sitting will notice that he has some belly fat, too, but that doesn't seem to bother him. If he's not wearing a helmet, he covers the visible parts of his skin with white and gray warpaint, as this hides his true complexion that is a mixture of dark red and blurred violet stains. His fingernails are strikingly pointed, reminiscent of very small claws, but he tends to cover that as well. His hair is thick, black and of a medium length. The eyes are gray.

Skills: From a soldier's or even knight's standpoint, Madawc is not really adept in any kind of weapon as his time as a soldier lies quite in the past, nor is he very agile. However that hammer in his hands can still cause havoc if the enemy isn't careful or doesn't have the option of taking evasive actions for whatever reason. His demonic traits allow him to hurl blasts of very hot air at his enemies that can throw people out of balance if they're not prepared. Repeated hits will cause hyperthermia and even more prolonged exposure can be lethal by itself. However using this magic repeatedly in a short period of time does put strain on himself, too. Aside from that, he's a bit of a survivalist.

Equipment: Basically everything in terms of armor and weapons is looted from fields of battle. He's using a two-handed hammer and wears a coat of mail with breast, back, shoulder and leg plates, completed by a helmet. He has two horses (snatched away from a war theatre, too), both not of very good quality so he has to switch between them from time to time in order to spread the burden.

I've scanned through the IC tab already. Am I correct that there are currently basically three groups ?

Xavier & Kormac escaping on horseback from the Red Dove priestress and the village that is attacked by goblins, Alexander who got his own and direct assignment by the king to track down Xavier and who's met a caravan on his way and Meldarion who was hired by Manik to basically do the same thing in an alliance with a thieves guild ?

edit: And which of these groups do you think would suit him best to join ?

I'm thinking about making an appliance for this.

What are the posting requirements (frequency etc.) ? I don't wanna to mess things up due to personal time restrictions.

A New Land of Fantasy

@TheUnknowable So I managed to screw up in record time it seems. Sorry for that. The post was ambiguous for me since there are a lot of new people if you don't make that assumption. Should I edit the last bit of my post so that Agmundr doesn't direct his words to your character anymore ?

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

I think it might be because the formatting gets all janky if you go from notepad to the site's posting box and some people don't wanna deal with that.

@Frizan

The problem with notepad is that if you activate the 'line break'-option, that crazy program inserts linefeed/carriage-return into the actual text instead of just rendering it with linebreaks to avoid horizontal scrolling. Another thing that is confusing comes with Word/OpenOffice: A paragraph there technically is something entirely different than a linefeed in a 'simple' editor/textbox. My advice is to get an advanced editor that is designed for coding - saves you all kinds of such formatting troubles.

However even the best editing tool can't save you from loosing more than half your character archive if you're just too lazy for making regular, diverse (in terms of storage technology) and well-organized backups. That's what happened to me and it got me kinda pissed off about myself.
