Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

I hereby announce my departure from the RP. Goodbye, peeps.


Rats. Ah well, I suppose it couldn't be helped. Take care.
One day left on the surveys. I gotta say, thank you all for the warm compliments in the first section. I don't really feel as if I've lived up to all of them, but I'll do my best to make you guys proud. After all, it is the players who really make the RP what it is, not the GM. You're more my bosses than I am yours, I think. And no, that is not an excuse to make me do dirty things. Seriously though, I appreciate it, and will take all of your feedback into account the best I can. The answers provided in the 'looking forward to' section will influence greatly some of the things we do in this RP.

I think Harine mentioned doing one of the next contests. You up for that, dudebro?
Abel Fulgurate


Following touchdown at Beacon, the SASG predictably split apart. The other three, more estrogen-enriched members of Fallow's team arrived to assist him in keeping the various faunus from the Shelter both secure and comfortable until the Vale authorities could arrive at the clifftop academy, and that left little to no official business in the hands of the four freshmen hunters who'd completed the mission. Shiro stayed back to look after his gear, Gren did his own thing after a few words with the team leader, and Abel accompanied Sapphire to the infirmary. Helping her when she'd let him, he walked at the somber girl's side, listening to the ragged state of her breathing even now, thirty minutes after the fingers of Dr. Pops had left her throat for good. Though the mission had been finished on Fallow's airship, he'd been unable to relax aboard the airborne vehicle, and only now were his excitement and adrenaline finally leaving him. By the time that the two members of Swansong arrived at the school's medical bay, Abel felt almost like slumping into a bed himself.

The revelation that the infirmary currently hosted other tenants, however, helped to dissuade him. To his surprise -as he'd expected that his team was the first to return- he found the entirety of team RPGD in a single, spacious room, one unlike the smaller, single-occupant chamber where Sapphire had lodged the night of the naming ceremony. Abel recognized Robert instantly, and knew the other three by appearance if not by exact name. The green-cloaked one, now cloak-deprived, lay in a bed on the road to recovery, though more than a few miles awaited him before he reached that destination. Daniel, fiery-looking as ever, reclined in a bed nearby, though it was more difficult to tell if he was seriously wounded or just resting uncomfortably—perhaps even he didn't know. Robert and Priscilla stood nearby, and though it seemed to the guardian that something was wrong with the latter, he couldn't quite place it. The pink-haired girl simply seemed...withdrawn, as if something was keeping her from maintaining her usual, perky presence. Abel waved a greeting to Robert when the sound of his footsteps garnered the bespectacled boy's attention, but thenafter focused his attention on getting Sapphire to a bed of her own. In a couple of moments a nurse would be by to determine the exact extent of the girl's injuries, and start plotting a course to remedy them.

Abel approached the members of team Rampaged. “Hey. You all seem pretty roughed up.” He glanced at Priscilla. “Specially her....I think? Is she alright?” After the response, most of which he spent looked at Sapphire to make sure she was in good shape, he asked, “How'd your job go? Ours was weird. I think we encountered a moral dilemma. Not fun. Though we did find this horrible, wonderful ferret thing.”
OMG JOBS


Yep, three Frenzy Plant jobs that Gabriel and Thor can choose between! A different third NPC will be accompanying them for each one.
Alright, sorry for the delay, but I'm rather pooped today and I'll get the fighting started tomorrow morning.
Hey, @Caits. I'll let you do what you think is best with this list:

Dousing the Fire
Requester: Clover Town Mayor
Location: Clover Town
Description: A Treasure Hunting guild, Flare Blitz, has recently been assembled in Clover Town. Though a small venture at first, it is growing in size due to continued success. However, Flare Blitz contains more than a few seedy characters, including its leader, and the mayor of Clover Town fears for the general peace should Flare Blitz become too powerful. The guild's next acquisition, the Lodestar Chalice, would accomplish just that, and it's staking a lot on that expedition. Our job is to get to the ruins where the Chalice is hidden before the Flare Blitz team does and prevent them from being able to attain it. Then, Flare Blitz will sputter, and its ability to threaten Clover Town will disappear.
Notes: Bringing down the ruins, destroying the Chalice, or acquiring the Chalice are all valid methods. Attacking the Flare Blitz group head-on is not, and would tarnish our reputation. Should we be able to acquire the Chalice, the Mayor will pay extra to get a hold of it.
Reward: 200,000 Jewel w/o Chalice, 300,000 Jewel w/ Chalice

More Than a Feeling
Requester: Hanover Crunkite
Location: Akane Resort
Description: The head of Akane security, Mr. Hanover Crunkite, has received reports as of late of an eerie presence stalking the resort at night, from guests and watchmen both. Ordinary means have proven ineffective at either containing or attacking the thing wherever it manifests, so it seems magical help is in order. Try not to cause a big fuss, and whatever you do, do not damage the resort!
Notes: One guest, who claims to have been attacked by the thing, tells tales of a ghostly horror. Because of this, it may be wise for at least one member of the wizard team sent to complete this job to have prior experience with spirits.
Reward: 175,00 Jewel

Deadeye
Requester: General Sanders
Location: Acalypha Town
Description: One of the guild's old associates has been up to no good. Montresor Amontillado, or 'Monty' as we called him, was part of the roaming squad of mages that eventually settled down to become Frenzy Plant, and we've received a tip off from a woman who called herself 'Tiny' that Monty's turned his talents to the wrong cause as a highwayman. It is your job to seek out Monty, capture him, and bring him back to the Frenzy Fort. We will not let one of our own tarnish our guild's visage.
Notes: Monty is not a magic user, though from his luck you wouldn't be crazy to assume so. He's a sniper, able to shoot with deadly accuracy at incredible ranges, but he's deceptively powerful up close. His rifle has been customized to function as a melee weapon, with which he fights at a high skill level. He's also been known to shoot up close, even in melee range, with a gunslinger's style. From so much shooting, however, he's gone partially deaf in his old age. That may be the key to beating him.
Reward: Freedom from rent/food pay for two months
Any objections to a post initiating combat?
New charachter idea coming along great. I would like to be able to interact with someone else instead of lug. Lug pulls me towards him way to much with the quality of all those posts he makes. I can make my charachter join in any guild if there is a need for or a request


I can't decide whether that's a good or a bad thing.
You can just post for one if you like.
You and your dragons.


That sums up a good fourth of the OOC in here, I expect.
