Name: Azmodeus White
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Alignment: Dark Shadow
Rank within Organisation: Loose Affiliate
Birthmark Shape: Stylized frontal view of an open raven’s beak
Location of Birthmark: Center Chest
Magical Abilities: Alteration of attributes of dead materials. Physical contact required.
Place of Birth:Chicago
Currently Residing:New York, New York
Personality: With strong instincts, excellent reflexes, and a strong tendency toward athleticism, Az is far more likely to experiment than study and more likely to fight than argue. However, his sense of responsibility as the eldest of the brothers is strong enough that he restrains himself when he thinks that they might be affected by the aftermath of any trouble. He is also the most grounded of his brothers and manages the advertising and supply aspects of their business to make sure that it stays both legal and discrete.

Location of Birthmark: Left back, right behind the heart
Magical Abilities: Alteration of attributes of living materials. Physical contact required.
Place of Birth:Philadelphia suburbs
Currently Residing: New York, New York
Personality:Bookish and well read with strong prioritization skills and a natural affinity toward math, Bel is far more inclined toward study than experimentation. He handles the financial affairs of the business while also paying close attention to any possible security problems. While not quite paranoid, he is the least likely of the brothers to trust anyone and the awareness of life given by his magic makes it impossible for him to forget that all life is savage and that betrayal is as common as breath. He avoids trouble when he can but if it comes to him, he leaves no traces behind that anything ever happened.

Hi. How can I help you? We only do custom work but we are offering a discount on coffin orders and personal toys for the rest of the month. Spread the word!

Name: Fenrus White
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Alignment: Dark Shadow
Rank within Organisation: Loose Affiliate
Birthmark Shape: The back of a skull with raven feathers sewn on in place of hair and six raven’s eyes sewn down the middle in two rows, looking out at you.
Location of Birthmark: Back of the neck with feathers extending forward as far as the primary blood vessels on both sides
Magical Abilities: Able to add to and modify the magical attributes of anything that has been touched by magic. In short, Magic Hacking.
Place of Birth:Maryland
Currently Residing: New York, New York
Personality: Loyal to and protective of his brothers but fiercely determined to hold a place of equal significance, his competitive streak is strong and healthy but exclusively focused on gaining his brothers' respect. His talents lie close to Bel’s, tending toward study and analysis as well as leaning toward paranoia. However, his particular strengths focus more on situational prediction and awareness. He also dislikes loud noises in general and prefers to move quietly. He tries to avoid trouble, even when people do notice him, but his generally quiet presence makes even his most risky excursions far less eventful than they are for his brothers. He idolizes Az for his strength and diligence as he idolizes Bel for his raw intellect and caution, but he often fails to see how his abilities allow him the potential to achieve greater heights than either of them. He was also raised less cautiously than his brothers and had a couple friends as a small child and is more comfortable around other people in general as a result. But, he is always cautious around those with magic… and he can always tell.

From the weakest goblin to the Strongest god

And I've posted. There really wasn't that much for me to do but, hopefully this is satisfactory.

From the weakest goblin to the Strongest god

@Jangel13

Skrik observed that the rabbit was skittish. It might be a big target but it still valued its survival and with all that fat it probably didn't need to eat desperately enough to fight over it. He calmed his mind, focusing on expanding his awareness while staying focused on the horned rabbit. His Butcher's Insight would help him predict the beast's movements and land a good hit, as would his Pierce skill. He held his Short Spear in his left hand to keep it off the ground and away from things that might make sound. In his right, he readied a Poisoned Light Javelin.

His target was the center of mass of the horned rabbit. He hurled the javelin while keeping his movements silent and used the follow through motion to carry his right hand to join his left on the short spear's shaft. He would be ready with both hands on the weapon if the javelin was not enough to bring down the larger rabbit.

He did have one lingering concern. He had tried to place himself between the rabbit and its den. But, that meant that anything in its den would be behind him. He would have to focus his vision on the prey in front of him and trust his ears to detect anything that might come from another direction.

Magia, Amore et Bellum [ACCEPTING]

Mmmmmm... I love insanity with my cookies and badasses with my cinnamon rolls. All are tasty incentives.

Magia, Amore et Bellum [ACCEPTING]

Hmmm... I am interested. I also got an idea for a set of characters... fun characters... heh. Heheheheheh.

However! I cannot commit just yet. I need to know for certain that the other half-dozen roleplays that I was in have well and truly died... though they have been completely silent for... over a month.

From the weakest goblin to the Strongest god

And a Merry Christmas Day to you all!

Whatever you believe, everyone can use a merry day every so often!

From the weakest goblin to the Strongest god

@Jangel13

Skrik took note of the bear’s behavior as he withdrew. He would have to be cautious but he might be able to use that strong sense of smell to his advantage. Such a sensitive sense could easily bring pain if attacked in the right way. But, first he had to hunt and gather.

The first rabbit he found looked promising, fat and occupied with berries. More interesting was that Skrik could tell it was holding the berries instead of devouring them. Gathering meant that it was delivering them. Fat meant that it likely left more of a trail than its more lean relatives. He might be able to find the den if he tracked this rabbit. But, he had to make a decision.

He could hunt this rabbit now or he could wait and follow it. He could also hunt it and then try to find its trail and backtrack along it to its den. If he followed it, he might learn more about these creatures. But… he really wanted to know about how strength moved from one thing to another, what the colored lights in the pond were, whether or not better tips would give his javelins the edge against a bear, what berries would make better poisons, how difficult is it to catch fish, and where had all his siblings gone?

It was a long list of questions and it only seemed to get longer the more he learned. Still, that did nothing to quench his growing desire and determination to know as much as he possibly could. He still lacked power but… he glanced at the javelin in his fist. Poison, stealth, climbing, all of his success in hunting had come from having greater knowledge than his foe. He couldn’t believe that knowledge would prove to be a weaker path than crude strength. His curiosity demanded that it be so. And, he couldn’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t be at least as strong.

He studied the rabbit closely. It’s body didn’t have much in the way of carrying capacity. It wouldn’t be able to carry many berries at a time. That meant that it would have to return to its den to deliver the berries it had before long. Still, he had a little time left before its departure would be likely.

Skrik decided. He kept to the shadows and the bushes, sneaking as carefully and smoothly as he could to avoid anything that would give him away. He was seeking the rabbit’s trail while working his way downwind and into its blind spot. If there was a convenient tree there, near the rabbit’s trail and its blind spot, then this curious goblin would climb that tree up to the lowest branch that would keep him out of the rabbit’s reach. From there, he would be able to throw and not have to fear immediate reprisal. He could also drop to the ground and block the rabbit’s path back to its den. Like with his earlier hunt at the riverside, horned rabbits who valued something could be motivated to fight instead of flee.

If there was no height advantage that could be obtained, then he would simply block the path and use Butcher’s Insight and Precise Strike to throw a javelin for the rabbit’s center of mass. He would alter his aim to compensate for any anticipated movements and make as little sound as possible while throwing. If the rabbit survived the throw, wounded or not, Skrik would use his Short Spear to engage it when it attempted to get around or through him, using Butcher’s Insight and his past hunting experiences to predict its behavior and movements. But, he would keep his own safety in mind and prioritize avoiding injury over getting a lethal blow. He would also keep his knife handy, just in case.

Skrik’s Battle Plan:

1: Find a position that allows him to block the rabbit’s return path to its den and hold that position, ideally from an elevated point.
2: Throw a poisoned javelin at the rabbit using both Butcher’s Insight and Precise Strike to seek a quick kill.
3: If the thrown javelin fails to kill the target, drop to the ground and block the horned rabbit’s path back to whatever it’s feeding. 4: Use Short Spear two handed but keep knife handy, predict the rabbit’s movements, and prioritize avoiding injury.

Roleplay about being trapped inside a roleplay: Adventures from the Place Holder

Thanks for that. It was a fascinatingly chaotic concept. If anything... I think I would recommend trying again later with a smaller starting group and a few backup applicants in the wings, like understudies. If a character goes inactive for "X" amount of time then their character becomes an immortal NPC until they activate again, slaved to the control of another player.

But, I guess I'll let this thread rest now. It did good work for its short life.

@HokumPocus,

That is... sad. But not unexpected.
