@LetterA Nope, not creepy at all.

I might not get a post out today as I'm trying to get an RP started up and the OOC is being flooded and ye. I will definitely post tomorrow with all haste if I don't find time to post tonight.

@PhoenixEye9 That's fine. You're still welcome to join us if you'd like to repost the CS for another relook. (It helps me KNOW for a fact that the CS has been edited when there's another post with it.)

Also, to the rest of you.

THIS RP IS NOT DEAD.

Please, if you are still around update us on how things are going as far as busy days. I do not plan for us to stall too much longer. Please get back to me.

The Archon Resonance

Collab Post: Rose and Daisy

Several days passed as the members of the team got a bit more acquianted with one another. The Harp and the two leaders of the group had spoken at length about the coming missions, telling them of the several towns and cities that needed to be visited and checked on. The first, however, was in immediate danger and needed to be seen to as quickly as possible and though Shae and Kaalia wanted to wait a bit longer before heading out, they reluctantly lead their team towards the choppers. Shae, however, seemed to have other plans as she headed off in another direction, giving the reins to Kaalia for the short while she would be gone.

Now, the team sits in their air craft, all looking down at a map Kaalia and another crew member had splayed out onto the floor.

"So, you'll be dropping here, correct?" The young man asked Kaalia, pointing down at a city in the Tarcan Kasmut Territories, having seen the red X someone had drawn.

"We still have very little information about what's going on there, so it's prudent not to drop in blind. However...." Kaalia poised her finger over one of the small annotated towns at the edge of Kasmut. It was just a dot on the map, easily mistaken for a splash of ink. "Drop us here. The aqueduct runs alongside this small town and goes further inland. We can fend off the Lost and inspect the damage as we make our way to the heart of Kasmut."

Kaalia's expression remained vacant, despite the confidence with which she made her determinations, as if her mind were elsewhere. It was. The most recent reports about Ish Sah concerned her. There had been more sightings of a colossal serpentine Lost impinging upon the fishing villages and trade outposts along Tarcan's inland shoreline. "Yes, drop us here" She said, reaffirming her decision to follow the aqueduct into the ruined lands. Her eyes seemed more focused now, a gaze set upon a distant a goal, and her reassuring zeal was present in the air. One look at her, and you knew she had a plan.

She turned to the youth intently eying the map. "Send a message to command, and have them send scouting parties to Ish Sah. Tell them not to engage the Lost even if they're on a rampage. They won't have the forces to repel them. Moreover, the Lost seem to be following the aqueducts and it will lead them right into the heart of Tarcan. Just evacuate the cities to the southwest of Ish Sah wholesale." Her intense gaze locked onto the youth. "Can you make sure that happens?"

The young man bolted up, nearly falling over in the process and nodded to Kaalia, his posture stiff and firm. "Y-Yes ma'am!" He called out, running off to do as she had asked.

"Before we get ready for the drop, does anyone have any questions?" She turned to her team mates, regarding each of them with the equal parts scrutiny and amenability.

Lily Brightendale

Basics

Gender || Female
Race/Species || Angel (Fallen)
Age || Appears 21, was born in Victorian Era

Height || 5 feet and 5 inches
Weight || 125 lbs
Hair Color || Coral Hair
Eye Color || Bright Ocean Blue Eyes
Skin Tone || Pale, almost as if glowing
Figure || Thin, but not frail.
Occupation || Florist (Works at a local flower shop in the small town in Osari that the group now lives in.)

Powers

Energy Ball - Lily can form a ball of energy in her hand and use it to throw at foes. She is only limited by her own energy level. When a person uses a power or exerts energy, their energy grows dim and they must recharge by sleeping/eating. The balls can be large or small but larger ones will deplete her energy reserve much faster.

Light of the World - Lily can glow. Yep, glowing angel. When she is emotional, a lot of times it will happen without her trying. She can also, when concentrating, concentrate the light to a specific part of her body like a finger or a hand. It's not much use save for lighting things up. The only side affect is that she pushes her energy around her and therefore can harm other dark beings around her. It's almost like an aura that damages and drains those with dark energies around her. She can and generally does dim her own energy by dampening it. She packs it in tight somewhere deep within her soul and it does next to no damage to those around her. She can also use this ability to hide herself by hiding her energy. She also has the ability to see the energies of other beings. She can only see what they are and their intents. She cannot discern personality or history and if they know how to hide it, she can't see it. When someone dies, she knows about it because an energy that was once there, died.

Healer's Touch - Lily can heal others through contact. She places her hands on the target and gives them some of her energy and in doing so heals them. But in doing so, she takes on the injuries of the person she heals. If she heals a cut, she gains a cut in the exact place of the person she healed. Meaning, she can't heal indefinitely or risk dying.

Holy Wind - When her wings are released, Lily can use them to blow 'Holy Wind' at her foes. It can be used to heal nearby Angelic or Holy beings quickly or it can be used to stun Demonic or unholy foes. This counts as using some of her energy and can deplete her reserve if she isn't careful with it. It is completely voluntary and she doesn't always throw around Holy Wind willy nilly.

Water Whisperer - Lily can literally talk to water. Mind you, it can't talk back. It sends feelings back to her and tries it's best to communicate ideas. She simply asks it do something for her and it does, generally. Sometimes, it acts out on it's own and helps her. She has no real control over it and if someone that controls water comes along, their power will over ride hers even if the water is on her side.

Weaknesses

Fear - Lily Brightendale is a very fearful person. On the surface, it may seem like she is carefree and an idealist but deep down, she's scared to death of a lot of things.

Death - Lily is scared of both dying herself and having her loved ones die. She knows where many of them will be headed after death, or at least she believes she does, and isn't ready for them to become a part of that world. She also knows that her death as an angel would be the end of it. What would... come after for her? Would anything?

Being Alone - Lily detests being alone. It probably scares her more than death. At least death is... something. Being alone leaves Lily with her thoughts and... her depression. When she is with people, she is at her best. To her friends, it may be annoying, but for Lily, it's life-saving. Carmen has been a big part of this, as her roommate and even if she does think of Lily as annoying and clinging, she still stays by Lily's side, something Lily truly appreciates.

Relationships - Lily has a fear of relationships ranging from close friendships to intimate ones. She fears falling in love again would break her to the point of no return. She has a hard time letting go and an even harder time forgetting. It's been years and she still thinks about Xanthus from time to time. That alone is enough to scare her to pieces.

Caring and Heroic - Lily is both caring AND heroic, though the later bit is starting to wane. She is motherly and is willing to give up pretty much everything to help pretty much anyone. She's the definition of the nurse that heals both sides of the war. She can't bring herself to hate demons or angels anymore, she just wants it to stop.

Dark Energies/Magic - Dark Magics and Energies have a crippling affect on Lily. Too much of them can even kill her if she isn't careful. They drain her own energy much like two opposing forces that should never meet. Eventually, both she and the source of the energy will cease to be and she will die, as her soul was drained. There are no known ways to counter this affect.

Delay - Lily has a small delay when releasing her wings which are an embodiment of her soul. Recently, she has found that her wings have.. grown... Two more pair of wings have shown up though they are small still. She hasn't told anyone yet, for fear of what they might say, for fear of what it might mean. That... her part in this war between heaven and hell is much bigger than originally thought... Releasing Lily's wings takes about two minutes in total time to bring out and within that time, she is free to move around and do things as normal, however the concentration needs to stay uninterrupted or the process will revert. Once the wings are release, Lily can fly and even use them to blow 'Holy Wind' at foes, wind charged with Holy Energy.

Personality

Kind to a fault, Lily is everyone's friend. She can be a little sarcastic and bitter at times but deep down she is very kind and loving. She loves to help others and see the happiness is brings them. Her only wish is to be wanted, to be needed by someone, anyone. She has changed quite a bit since her beginnings at Kalmaysia Academy and she's hoping that now that she has her powers back, she can continue living a normal, as one would call it, life.

Background

Lily's story is long one. She was born and raised in England where she died at age 16, her only friend her neighbor, Xanthus, a demon. In Heaven, her father was Micheal and her mother named Melody. When creating humans, God had angered Lucifer and Lucifer planned to kill them all off, saying that they ruined God's image and name. Hearing of his plans, Micheal stops him by casting him out of heaven, a fallen angel. Angry and bitter, Lucifer builds up his strength and takes Micheal's place, taking his appearance and running Heaven his own way. His first order of business? Get rid of Micheal's family. Melody was first, and then Lily was sent to an academy. Eventually, she goes back to heaven, to be imprisoned while the love of her life, Xanthus, is killed. She then comes back, empty and broken. Xanthus is reborn, but no longer the same. She leaves him, though she still wears her engagement ring, and searches for a way to kill Lucifer. She finds one, but it entails her giving up her life, her Grace. She does so and is brought back as a human, her Grace gone.

A year or so later, Lily has found her Grace again with the help on an Angel named Gabriel. He coaxed her into finding it on her own and now she is back to how she once was. But what could that mean for Lucifer? Is he really dead? It is really all over? Can Lily really get away with this, can she be so happy after losing so much?

...Lots of other things happened since then. It'll uhh... come through in IC. (She's my longest running character and has an immense history that is constantly changing...)

She's still WIPsy. I'll fill out the weaknesses more a bit later. They exist and have been lain out before. I just get lazy after doing her CS so many times. :P

Legends of Lavanya

_{"'Those with white hair, tanned skin, and yellow eyes are pure.' What bull. I've never felt pure my entire life. What do you mean? Pure?"}

Maria Ann Cross

Basics

Gender || Female
Race/Species || Human Warlock/Witch
Age || 46

Height || 5 feet and 8 inches
Weight || 147 lbs
Hair Color || White Hair
Eye Color || Yellow Eyes
Skin Tone || Brown
Figure || Well-Built Figure (Slim but Muscler)
Occupation || 'Principal' (Though the school is in shambles.)

Powers

Maria's powers are nearly endless and would be a pain to list out as she works from spell books and memorize spells. She has enough power to cast a great deal of spells without ever needing to prepare it or even say the incantation in some instances. Her energy, which is what her spells are powered on, is endless as she has spent many, many years growing her energy 'tank.' It's similar to a stomach in that it expands when more it put into it and so the capacity increases. However, if she were to try and store up anymore, it would become painful and possibly deadly. She often has to do spells for the sake of draining her energy, either that or she exercises... (Not as effective...) She is a White Haired, Yellow Eyed, Dark Skinned Cross and therefore it is believed that she is 'pure.' However, even she knows that her magic was forced upon her and pales in comparison to those whose magic came to them. She has never met the Originator, the creator of Lavanya, but she idolizes him as a strength she wishes to obtain.

Her specialty, however, lies in Energy Manipulation. One of her more notable attack patterns is what she calls, "The Seed." With this move, she raises the electricity levels in a foe's body just to the point of breaking, the 'Seed.' They don't feel the pain (That is, unless they're stupid enough to touch something conductive...) until Maria 'flips the switch' and turns up the dial, putting them out cold, even killing them if she does it up enough.

Weaknesses

Flirt - Maria is flirtation and while this may not seem like a weakness, it has lead to many a fights over her hand in the past.

Mask - Maria has a dark past that she doesn't often tell to anyone, even Brako and Criston are in the dark for some of it. She often puts on a smiling face at the expense of her well-being, hiding her scars and pains from the world.

Independant - Maria is independent and will refuse any help offered to her unless she cannot go with it. She prefers to work things out on her own.

Special Attacker - Maria is a special attacker, meaning that she is not as bulky as some of the foes she may fight against. She does not have a very high constitution and cannot take many hits. This is why she will often resort to spells of speed.

Emotional - Because of her "Mask", Maria can easily be manipulated if someone knows her past, I.E. Marcus. Though, it can be tricky because there are basically two reactions, unrelenting rage which leads Maria to go berserk, or crippling depression which will lead to Maria's collapse, she will not fight, she will simply 'shut off.'

Personality

Maria Ann Cross is at the surface a flirtatious, well learned, leader. However, as you go deeper, more and more of her personality is revealed. Maria is all at once a fighter and a lover. She is a mother and a fierce warrior. Hurt her children and you may not leave with the same number of appendages as when you came. She is very strong willed, able to control her emotions very well. However, this comes with a price as when her emotions do get the best of her, the floodgates open and a torrent of powerful emotions rage through.

Background

Maria grew up a rich lifestyle, her being a member of the 'Cross' family. The family controls much of the money in Elaniel and control many of the businesses there. When Maria was 16, she was given a fiance and told that she would be taking control of a part of one of their many businesses.

All her life, everything was set up for her. She was trained in her magic and trained in how she should live. Deciding to take life into her own hands, Maria ran away. What she did for the few years she was away from home, she's never told anyone but when she was forced back home, she returned with a small child and a blank expression.

The spell on her soul was only lifted when she realized what they were doing to her son. They were doing to him what they'd done to her and it was enough to snap her out of the trance she was in. She ran away once again and took Criston with her to a school that would protect them both. Only 19 at this time, she went to school at Athalia Academy, run by a man whom Maria barely speaks of now. Several years later, he died in an accident and Maria decided to take over by herself and since then she has been using the academy has a place to hide from her family. So far, they have left her alone. Only 25, she had a lot of trials to over come but she managed along with the help of a friend of the previous owner's, Brako Rackshaw.

Only Accepted Characters may be placed here.

Returning characters may be placed here but may still be asked to change certain things if need be. Shouldn't happen often but there's your warning.

Legends of Lavanya

It won't let me change the join status, but

this RP is currently not accepting new players

_{Veterans are always welcome and we may open again in the future so stick around!}

Athalia Academy, a once great supernatural school, now in ruins. It's students gone, it's halls empty, stands alone, a broken memory of times now gone.

It has been 5 years since we left the heroes of Athalia Academy and many of it's students have either died or fled to hide from Marcus Cross who has taken over the school grounds. 5 years ago, Marcus Cross sent his army to Athalia Academy, his attempt to squash it. However, Maria and her students were ready for him, at least they thought they were. Though they fought valiantly, Marcus triumphed as he sent a large ball of energy toward the main building, killing a majority of the students held inside of it.

Since then, Maria and the few students left in her care have fled the country of Elaniel to seek refuge in Oasari, Maria having an old friend there. Marcus, for whatever reason refuses to attempt a take over on Oasari and thus Maria has chosen it as their base of operations. Marcus, now under control of every other nation, excluding Xiuhcoatl, the dragon nation. Brako had been sent ahead of them to seek out the other dragons help while the small band of students and Maria must find a way to get to Xiuhcoatl without being arrested.

Little do they know that as Brako nears Xiuhcoatl, he can feel the weak pulses of the dragons. Something is happening to them, what is Marcus doing to them and how can they help the dragons? Before they can ask for help, they must help the dragons regain their strength and get past this cursed that has been lain upon them.

---

Yes, yes. My friends! It is time again for Athalia Academy to resurface with a new name! 'Legends of Lavanya' This does not mean that Athalia Academy is gone forever, however, as it can still exist if the characters build it back up again. But for the sake of the RP, the name has been changed to suit it's contents.

Athalia is an RP and idea near and dear to my heart and I'd like to see it flourish once again. Please, please be kind to it. :3

History/Lore of Lavanya

Lavanya has been around as long as Europe has, time of the dinosaurs, all that crap. And it has always been known as a magic heavy area. It's where most of the magic nations were centralized. However, during the time of the Salem Witch Trials, a certain Mage, the Originator as he is called, was tired of the persecutions and began working on a plan. This plan was called, "Project Odyssey." In this, a team of mages formed together to create a mana pool large enough to sustain the spell they were trying to pull off, the creation of a pocket dimension. It formed around Lavanya and closed off the continent and it's surrounding islands to the rest of the world. Then, the Originator, using a good chuck of his mana or energy pool, erased Lavanya from the history books and soon it became a mere legend.

Travel from Lavanya to the 'mortal'/'human' side is more restricted, though it always has been this way. In order to leave Lavanya, one must obtain a passport with the key to open the portal to the other side (they pop out in the Pacific). They have to go through pretty rigorous training to ensure that they will not reveal anything to the humans. There are also some humans that do come to Lavanya but most of them are brought by Lavanya Citizens and sworn to secrecy.

No one has heard from the Originator since and he is assumed to have passed away, but this is still under debate.
