Bio

✾ 𝙻𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚊
Keep moving forward ۩
⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

Welcome to the forum. ^_~
Claire and Murphy invading everyone's personal little bubble LOL

Claire, Murphy & Desh


Location: Hotel Shikha
Interacting With: @Charnobylisk @POOHEAD189
Time/Date: Evening/August 1st, 2016



The entire place was grateful when Murphy was done singing and Claire just sat there, slowly pulling the pieces of napkin she had stuffed in her ears out. He always did this and she was used to the tissue by now. Normally she carried a pair of ear plugs with her but she had forgotten to bring them on the trip. Oh well, the tissue did well enough to not let her ears bleed this time. Sitting back in her seat she chuckled to herself as Murphy gave a proud bow and had a satisfied smirk on his lips. As Cass picked up the mic and started her song Claire smiled, watching her bop around and hip check Murphy, causing him to grin sheepishly. Giving a whistle as Cass danced around and sung she gave a several rounds of clapping, especially when she was done.

Taking a long drink of her beer she looked over towards Alc and smiled. "Oh I have to put up with that all the time with him. Now, my turn," she giggled as she hopped up and ran over to the machine, taking the mic from Cass and quickly picking out a song, looking over at Murphy and sticking her tongue out at him as she waited for the chosen song to que up. This is what Claire did, she was a singer. She had perfect pitch, had studied music the last four years and was a natural performer. She was in her element as the song began.

"How can you see into my eyes like open doors? Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb; without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home," Claire sung, her voice hauntingly beautiful as she captured the essence of Amy Lee but still kept it her own thing as she stood there on the slightly risen stage, nearly pleading to those listening. Murphy smirked as his baby sister as he held up his mic, ready to take over the male parts of the song.

"Wake me up." Wait a second, Murphy's voice rang out deep and rich, it was stunning and dramatic in the change of his vocals. His head pounding up and down as he grabbed the mic with both hands and joined in with his sister. A devious smile playing on his lips as he looked over towards Cass. The McManus's were in the house. Each lyric rolling off their songs, harmonizing as their vocals overlapped. Each of them working their way around the room singing their hearts out.

"Wake me up inside."
"I can't wake up."
"Wake me up inside."
"Save me."
"Call my name and save me from the dark."
"Wake me up."
"Bid my blood to run."
"I can't wake up."
"Before I come undone."
"Save me."
"Save me from the nothing I've become."

"Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me to life," Claire sang as she hopped up onto the bar and then dove off the wooden top and let Murphy half catch her before she spun out and danced around the room. Murphy moving his hips this way and that as he sauntered from this person to the next, getting in their face as if he was about to start a fight.

"Wake me up."
"Wake me up inside."
"I can't wake up."
"Wake me up inside."
"Save me."
"Call my name and save me from the dark."
"Wake me up."
"Bid my blood to run."
"I can't wake up."
"Before I come undone."
"Save me."
"Save me from the nothing I've become."
"Bring me to life."
"I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside."
"Bring me to life."

"Frozen inside without your touch; without your love, darling. Only you are the life among the dead," Claire sang as she stepped over to Desh, making the man swallow hard as she got a little too close for comfort and as she slid away he downed his drink in one gulp while mouthing "WOW."

"All this time I can't believe I couldn't see kept in the dark but you were there in front of me," Murphy sang as he slipped over to Cass and rested his brow against hers.

"I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems, got to open my eyes to everything." Claire sauntered over and came up behind Alc, as she peaked her head around him from behind.

"Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul." Murphy gazed into Cass's eyes as he sung, his free hand slipping around her waist slowly.

"Don't let me die here." Claire continued to sing as she stepped in front of Alc and straddled his lap some.

"There must be something more." Murphy pulling Cass close as he brushed his nose against hers.

"Bring me to life." Claires free hand cupping Alc's chin as she sang, nearly begging him to bring her to life.

Slowly the two teases slipped away from both those they were serenading and seemed to go into a battle as they continued to sing the final chorus. Pointing at each other and looking as if they were getting madder and madder with the other.

"Wake me up."
"Wake me up inside."
"I can't wake up."
"Wake me up inside."
"Save me."
"Call my name and save me from the dark."
"Wake me up."
"Bid my blood to run."
"I can't wake up."
"Before I come undone."
"Save me."
"Save me from the nothing I've become."

Both stepping up to the stage, turning their back to one another as they closed out the song.

"Bring me to life."
"I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside."
"Bring me to life."

Once it was done, each of their own arms crossed across their own chests. Each extending the hand that held the mic and dropping it with a rather smug look on their faces. Whether it was the fact they both just put on one hell of a show of totally pulled the wool over everyone's eyes with Murphy's Boston Banshee Routine; it didn't matter. They did what they always do. Have a bit of fun and rocked it.

The Altenian Nexus



The Background

The year is roughly 3590 Earth Time and Earth is living in post a Post-Apocalyptic state as well as a Technological Based Advanced Society. The emergence of Talents nearly one thousand years before drove a rift between an already divided population. The Great War caused the rise of dormant abilities in Earthlings and suddenly children during the time were finding that they were protecting themselves using various forms of Telepathy, Psychokinesis and Psychic Talents. Governments scrambled to harness these powers and the lands became dotted with Hitleresque regimes that were tasked with the capture, experimentation and exploitation of these children. Many perished but some thrived and were trained as killers.

It did not take long for the world to fall to ruin because of the harsh treatment of Talents. Many revolted to the abuse and began to fight back. Destruction and chaos soon ensued and it quickly drove the planet to a desolate wasteland dotted with battlefields scared with the power these Talents possessed. Yet no war can last forever. Stronger Talents began to cry out in their sleep, having no knowledge or training to control their abilities, and their thoughts went out to the rest of the galaxy. Other talents soon answered their call and First Contact occurred. With the help of various races, previously unknown to Earth, Talents were trained and educated on how to use their abilities for more than offensive measures.

After years of rebuilding, Earth became a mining planet and was able to begin trade with the rest of the Galaxy. Utilizing the Talents and newly found materials buried deep in the Earths crust, the people were able to draw the attention of Galactic Telekinetic Communications or GTC. GTC was tasked with the job of building communication towers that employed various Talents and used their ability to transport large space craft to various jump points throughout the galaxy. This opened trade for Earth and bring much needed supplies to the planet.

GTC is the lone controlling entity in the Galaxy over all tapped worlds. Utilizing its sway over each tower it has grown quickly and no planet can flourish without it, especially those that are mining planets. It controls the supply of food, medical, technology and Talents. Over the centuries, it has become what so many Governments in the past did with absolute power, corrupt. Talents that run each Main Tower for a planetary system have become beings that are above the law, flaunting their abilities and wreaking havoc on LIP, Local Indigenous Populations. Lead Run Gringer, who is the head of the GNC and strongest known Talent, is unrelenting in his pursuit of power and domination.

Thankfully most Talents are compassionate and well-meaning but being lost in a system that favors the cruel there is little they can do. While Talents in general are strong willed and determined, most lack the basic social skills for unification to over throw the GTC and help bring balance and fairness back to the Galaxy.


The Premise


This story begins on one such planet, Altenia. The planet itself is barren with only a few locations of lush greenery dotted throughout the terrain. A solid rock planet in the middle of the Galaxy, it provides only two assets to the GTC. One is its strong military position. Being located where it is, its tower is responsible for catching transports from one end of the Galaxy and launching them to the other. The second asset is possesses and its most valuable one is its Crystals.

Talents of the highest rank are strong, and many are capable of transporting ships from one side of their own Solar System to another without issue. The problem comes when breaking through the pull of one sun and launching a ship into the space between Systems. Crystals help amplify a Talents ability. Not all crystals are created equally though and Altenia is one of the few known planets that have been able to produce large high quality Black Crystals that are used to power and enhance the abilities of Tower Leads.

Tower Lead Tristan Debute runs all things on Altenia and is an egotistical and overbearing oaf that enjoys making things difficult on the LIP. Even though complaints have been made in the past, none get passed him to the main GTC and even if they did, Talents strong enough to run a tower are few and far between. Since he has yet to lead to the death of anyone the GTC considers important, they would do little unless a direct complaint from an equal was made. Even then, at most he would be shipped to another location.

The Altenians in general cannot stand him but they get by, the ones that suffer the most though are the Brax’na. A Spartanlike culture that has yet to embrace the technology that is available to them and are more comfortable of the old ways they have passed down through the generations. Preferring to live off the land as best they can and keeping to themselves, though due to the amount of mining that happens on the planet they have come to rely on the GTC for even the most basic of needs. The only reasons they are even cared for is because they help the miners locate new Crystals, having an advanced knowledge of the terrain, one they refuse to give openly to the GTC, and because of long ago established rules and regulations involving the preservation of LIP on all planets the GTC are involved with. Earth Year 3590, with the arrival of new Tower Lead in Training Silvia Adenias, who is to learn how to fully run a tower from Tristan Debute and then move on to another tower to take over for one that is retiring.

This Rp will take place on Altenia and deal with the workings of running a tower, dealing with LIP, and the relations that form between or are destroyed between them. This is a multiple part Rp that can be expanded on in parts 2 and 3 if it takes off fully.

In-Depth Information









Altenian Tower


The Altenian Tower is one of the newer Towers within the GTC and best kept up to date because of its military position and available resources. It is the most valuable asset in the GTC currently. But due to its location, the LIP, and danger that can happen on the hostile planet no one wants to be at the damn tower. Getting assigned there always seems to be some sort of punishment. Hence why Tristan is able to get away with as much as he does. Most just want to be able to get transferred back off as quickly as possible.

The Tower stands Fifty stories tall straight up from the ground around it. The base level is spread out and it goes another ten stories beneath the terrain. All underground facilities are basically generators and structure to keep the tower standing. Base three levels stretch out around the tower for nearly a mile in diameter and are the landing docks, repair docks, docking bays and access to the rest of the planet.

Below is a quick break down of the floors.
  • Floors B1-B10 - Generators and Power Supply
  • G - Main Docking Bays 1-14
  • 1 - MOLES Head Quarters - Repair Docks 15-20
  • 2 - Landing Docks - Port A1-G17
  • 3-15 - Supply and Unloading
  • 16-18 - General Housing
  • 19 - Commissary
  • 20 - Recreation
  • 21 - Maintenance
  • 22 - Miner Housing
  • 23/24 - Infirmary
  • 25 - Infirmary Housing
  • 26-36 - Security And Security Housing
  • 37-40 - Housing for T Ranks T2-T5
  • 41 - T1 Lead In Training Housing Only
  • 42 - T1 Tower Lead Housing Only
  • 43-45 - T1 and Paired T2 Crystal Housing Storage
  • 46 - Administration
  • 47 - Meeting Hall and Event Facilities
  • 48/49 - Crystal Enchantment Generators and Ports
  • 50 - The MOR (Main Operating Room)


There are various sets of elevators that are all coded to each floor and peoples personal ID codes and tags. Floors for T1's in Tower Running Positions are for that single person only and are extravagant apartments that overlook the entire are in 360 panorama around them. They can only be accessed by the Main Elevator; opening to a hallway that leads to the Apartments Entrance - can only be opened by that specific T1 unless otherly overridden by Head of Security in Emergency situations.

If you are a head or lead, feel free to expand on these other floors - Images have been provided to give a general idea of what the look it and such but have fun with it! (And use NPC's of your own as you wish.)


Rules
*Rules are enforced, so read them all carefully! - they may seem strict and harsh but I am a fair Gm as long as communication remains open and honest and people do no take advantage.
  • Gm is Goddess
    • Gm has final say on all matters
    • Gm does check on posting and log in habits
  • CS Sheet Provided Must Be Used
    • Use code provided below
    • Do not submit WIP's - Final CS's only
    • Post CS for approval in OOC

    • Change color code to one not in use
    • May not use default CS color, white, a187be, fff79a, f26522or 82ca9d (These are preclaimed by Gm For Characters and NPCs) - Also, try to avoid colors that are hard to read against the background of the forum. (Dark colors do not do well!)
  • You are not allowed to use @Mentions in your IC posts - Too many people use them as a crutch and an excuse to not read all the posts.
  • This is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy rp
    • No Magics - Only "fantasy" type skills that are available have to do with those listed for Talents and their appropriate ratings
    • While Sci-Fi, it is soft Sci-Fi. This RP will be more about character interaction than actual Sci-Fi
    • Things like jobs and skills must fit with characters back story
    • Fights will happen but seriously, don't turn this RP into a bad DBZ episode where half the damn planet is destroyed by you tossing people about.
  • Language - No Filters
  • Gore - No Filters - This will get gross
  • Taboo subjects will be crossed but will be maintained to fade to black if needed
  • Romance is allowed; Pg-13, then fade to black - No Preexisting relationships such as couples or husband/wife. (Seriously, I have seen far to many of these done poorly. If you want romance, let it develop naturally. I will drop the GM Hammer if you go from meeting to love of my life in a glance.)
  • Follow All Forum Rules
  • Communication is Key
  • Posting Habits
    • Minimal of 2 well developed paragraphs per post
    • Must IC post once every 7 days (It is your job to keep up with when you need to post. Your last post hits Day 8 and I remove the character and you are out of the RP. No, I will not tag you to remind you to post. This is your responsibility.)
    • I do not accept no inspiration as a reason not to post
    • Keep up with all IC and OOC posts
    • No spamming OOC - Seriously, Lady A will gut you
    • Minimal 2 posts between your last
    • Know your personal posting limitations before applying to join
    • If you cannot post, you must contact the GM and make them aware, you will be granted extra time to post (do not take advantage of this) - I realize real life comes first but you know your schedule better than anyone, if you join it is your responsibility to keep up and not hold up the rest of the Rpers. I will work with you, just let me know what's going on.
    • Collabs are welcome but you may not start one after Day 5 on the counter for your or your partners last post. If your Collab partner vanishes, just post what you have before your counter runs out.
  • Spots are not first come first serve
    • Gm will review completed CS first
    • Gm will review previous Rp's and posting habits
    • Gm will then notify you if you are approved
    • Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be notified when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue - I recommend having Back Up Characters Ready)
    • I are looking for long term highly dedicated Rpers. This RP will branch out with others in time, so there may be RP cross over.
  • You may use characters from previous RP's (If you were in the original RP for this, you may reuse your character)
    • Previously used characters must be redone to fit current CS sheet
    • Previous RP relations are stripped clean (Previous RP Characters, act as if the last RP did not occur. I am scraping it all)
    • Once Cs's are approved, relation sheet will go up and must be completed and added to CS
  • Read through Rpers Guide To Etiquette - This is a good reference for RP Etiquette
  • Rules and Cs sheet will be added to and changed as need be depending on problems or points that come up.
  • Under Extras in your CS please post a link to a post you have done in the past to show you have read the rules. If You submit a CS without this it may be declined.
  • Special - To New Comers To The Guild - Pm The Gm for a tid bit to add in that place instead.



Character Sheet Code




*This is a reboot and slight rework of an RP I ran under my retired Afina account - Shattering The Crystal Silence - Loosely Based on The Crystal Singer And Rowan Book Series
@Morose Sweet, - Here is Danica - Just changed up a few things from her last Cs since it pretty much worked - Let me know if her story for being there works and such please. ^^

@Morose Okay, know this isn't the OOC and such but just placing my CS here to make sure I am on the right track. Let me know if I need to change anything or if I am off base with somethings.
