Bio

Greetings,

I am Jb; Briton by birth, roleplayer by my own hand, and lover of literature. I am also an amateur historian, a receiver of a Bachelors degree in Ancient and Medieval History - quite a useless degree, actually - and would like to think that I'm a fair, honest and open guy.

As far as RP'ing goes, I'm pretty open to most things really, all you need to do is ask! :)

So, if you've ever any questions for me, wish to speak about RP's involving myself or run by myself, or simply feel like a chat, don't be afraid to get in touch.

Not going to show up, @JbCool?


I'll pop in at some point, but so far I haven't really felt the need to, you're all doing fine as it is...

I'll see about a post very soon.
@Dismas@Empath@BlackRose@Maxwell@Fairess@GreenGoat

Thanks all for you interest thus far (and anyone else who may...or may not...become interested later), I'm working nights at the moment, but I should have an OOC post up by Monday at the latest. If anyone wishes to show their interest before then, or ask any questions, then go for it.

Thank you all.
Sad to see you go, but I know how life gets, don't worry and I look forward to RPing with you again some time. :)
@Fairess Depends what you mean by 'Fae'; the Elves are on the side of the humans, for the most part, and fairies (brownies etc) have taken to hiding mostly - with the possible exception of the redcaps. So while they'll be included, I don't potentially see them doing much.
@POOHEAD189@Bright_Ops Feel free to burst in and help me drag Darren away from the potentially-invincible-but-nevertheless-suspicious-as-hell Elf...

Too much time had been spent debating the whys and wherefores of morality and the cost of human life, not that the Kill-team would have known this, but when the slave pens began to get colder – so cold that even the formerly pawing slaves, if they still had any sense of mental faculties at all – moved away from the doors of the cells and backed away into corners; it had given the Dark Eldar, not known for slow mental calculations, to work out where the Astartes had impacted upon the vessel and now to devise a counter to this boarding.

What happened next was but a taste...

It began when the darkness around them got only darker, not possible by natural means but certainly so when the light was sucked from the room by something entirely unnatural; they came from the shadows as shadows, bearing curved blades and with oil-black bodies illuminated only by flowing sigils of Eldar script, their bone-white hair loose and flowing and their hands and jaws possessed of talon-tipped fingers and pointed teeth.

From everywhere they seemed to come, from the ceiling above the group, from the dark corners of the slave chambers, even from within some of the slave pens – these latter forms pausing only long enough to consume the terror and fear of the shuddering flesh-bags, leaving only empty husks behind them.

Mandrakes, the semi-daemonic denizens of the webway, their origins unknown but their fighting abilities not to be trifled with.

How many were there? No-one could be sure, their forms shifting and melding with the shadows even as they moved. Were they a threat? Most certainly. Would the Kill-team be whittled down before they could clear the chambers? Very likely.
@Empath Scots, also called 'Doric' or 'Lallans'.

@Dismas No worries at all! And no need to feel silly, it's all good here. :)
@Jbcool

Will this borrow elements from the Arthurian legends? I am interested in this nonetheless, just asking.


Quite unlikely, mostly because this takes place after the Battle of Badon Hill, but also because Arthurian legend really just takes from much later French poetry. There may be some of the more historical elements, but if you're expecting anything like the film etc, you'll be disappointed.
<Snipped quote by Jbcool>

Forgive my confusion, but should I interpret that as a denial? If so may I know why?


No you should not interpret it as denial, quite the opposite; in local parlance 'nae bother' means more like 'no worries' or 'no problem'. What I meant was 'no problem, you carry on with your questioning.'
@Stitches Super-duper, look forward to it!
