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.

Eh, I might do something. At the moment, until the two new demigods explore Galbar little, I'm stuck as to events to undertake.
Sorry, I'll get a post up soon.

Just to be clear, Shiro's dragged along into Drury Lanes?


Yes.

Any complaints if I have Napoli run into you guys at Drury Lanes?


No.
I'v having a hard time choosing where to place my Character...perhaps next arc?

Entering now would feel weird. Debuting in the next arc will give some spotlight to him is what i think.


...I already entered you and the others.
Frenzy Plant was created mostly because I was into it. I hope the vigor and talent with which I'm playing its characters shows that I made it to have fun and to tell a good story, not just out of necessity.

I personally have no problem with people knowing who Iron Enigma is.

As a side note though, I am actually thinking about them falling apart, since Magic is starting to get less and less 'evil' and so more mages are joining light guilds instead of dark ones. So, my head cannon anyway, is that they're basically two or three generations from running out of members and about half the guild knows it.

I'm actually thinking of them splitting into two guilds, One staying dark and the other becoming light. Though they'd keep very very close ties.

<Snipped quote by Caits>

You're welcome! I was just in that kind of mood.


I might have an idea about splitting it up that we can work together on.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

Nope, they're just a not super-well known Dark guild.

They're really good at getting information.


Ah I see. Apparently Jack Goran is really good at getting information about them too.
I thought that Iron Enigma was a very secretive guild.
Abel Fulgurate


“Ah, hello Gren,” Abel greeted again, unnecessarily. He gestured back at team KESS, who was now entering the airship. “That was Krysanthe, Ebon, Sepia, and Skyra.” He noticed his teammate pull out his scroll and respond to it. Seriously not wanting to keep the others waiting he pantomimed I'll go now, you grab the next ship, and shrugged, before getting on himself.

The ride, though less than ten minutes, seemed like a lot longer to a guardian who was always worried about what he was going to say next. Though never an extremely social person overall, he'd always been better in one-on-one encounters, and not with groups of people unless they were very good friends, like his buddies back home. He found himself, after discovering a tuft of ferret hair wedged in between two plates of his armor, bringing up Shiro's new pet. So far, Scoot had been a fairly popular conversational piece, and it helped that it was something he'd spoken of before. This initiated a general conversation about pets, into which Shiro -after noticing his teammate coincidentally aboard his airship- interjected himself, bringing the magnificent ferret with him. After that, the short ride passed pretty smoothly.

Once the airship touched down, the group of six made its way to Drury Lanes. Being the biggest landmass of the group and perhaps the most eager to impress, Abel held the door open for the others. Inside the joint was an atmosphere not often found in these modern times. The floors and walls were all wood, with a light orange-yellow for the floor and darker paneling for walls and furniture. Brilliant red linoleum lined the edge of the tracks, and a big neon sign labeled 'Gr8 Eats' declared the zone where customers could grab some fast food. The place wasn't very busy right now, as it was still early in the evening, and only two other groups were present. One was a couple of old men, lifelong friends by their general demeanor, playing with remarkable skill and joshing one good-naturedly another over the slightest error. The other was a far more...colorful bunch.

Among them was a young woman, exceedingly tall for her age, in black and purple leather with a matching cloak and hood. Silvery-gray ears poking from that hood and furry tail advertized her faunus heritage. Near her was a man in bright, garish shades of yellow and orange, including his hair and fox parts. Lastly, there was tall teenager in multicolored striped shirt, a white fauld, and assorted orange and black armor. If he had to guess, Abel would have thought them to be students from Beacon, but he'd never seen them before.

Shrugging, he followed the group to one of the bowling terminals. On the way, he spotted a little arcade nestled in one corner of the bowling ally. “Vidja games,” he spoke aloud, thinking of a joke from one of his old friends. Taking a look over the console, he said, “I...I'm not exactly sure how to set this up for a game.” He glanced back at the others, trying to appear casual. “So, ah, what d'you guys want to do? One of the staff might be abel to help us. Or we could get food now, or look at the arcade.”
I'll post when I'm back at my brother's place. By the way Lug are you trying to lure Nolan into Frenzy Plant? *eyes you suspiciously* XD


I'm not trying to do anything. Sanders is merely making a comment.
General Cormorant Sanders – the Stands

@Hatakekuro


Sighing deeply, Sanders attempted to tune the opposing master out, but he could not prevent her rebuttal from getting through. The part attacking him about what he referred to his members as was particularly cutting. It seemed that it was physically impossible for Jamie to not have the last word, or to respect another person's wishes. He made a mental note to visit Hyun later and, if her condition was unimproved, to use his own magic to increase the odds of a recovery. The general didn't know what, on earth or beyond, could heal a broken heart, but if a remedy existed he could help find it.

Hearing Nolan speak did, however, grant him a little gratification. It seemed that he wasn't the only one who found Jamie's attitude at least a little bit caustic. ”I'm glad to hear that she has not forced her ideals down her own guild members' throats. Though I must ask you a question, one that has me curious. I know Jamie is a shapeshifter, but why do you, and many of her members, constantly swap around what pronoun you use in reference to her? It all seems a bit...confusing. Today she's in the shape of a woman, so I see no reason to refer to her as anything but. Maybe that's just my age talking, though.”

At that moment, the duel was resolved, not by a victor, but by a timer. Sanders couldn't help but think that such an ending was anticlimactic, but he did not care so much. Personally, he thought that both Make wizards had done a fantastic job, and that breaking the seemingly intuitive rules of a 50-50 split on a whim seemed a little unfair. No matter—it was only his guild that concerned him.

”Again, I am glad to hear that you will remain a sportsman to my soldiers. There are no more burning obsessions that must require a match to be so serious in the future, so the way is paved for friendly but intense challenge, with neither side holding back. That is what it means to compete.”

“Meeting you was a fine experience. I won't keep you away from your friends any longer, so let me just say this: you seem like a man who would thrive in a guild like Frenzy Plant. That is all. Hail to you,”
he said, ending with a somewhat uncommon expression for 'good luck'.

Kumbha Yatta – the Stands


No contest? What a rip! With powers like those at play, Kumbha thought, to not declare a winner seemed like a big mistake. He did feel vindicated, however, when Sasha the Ice Make mage got off with the lion's share of the points. ”I was half-right, then,” he told the person sitting to his immediate right, a certain Bytan Brass, who didn't know what the Gel wizard was talking about.

He thought about getting up to fetch Jillian and bring her to talk with Shujin, but he couldn't help but feel that now wasn't the right time. It might seem...well, awkward. He had to admit, though, that Shujin had style. Until now, Dragon Fang had been a hazy, distant entity to Kumbha; experiencing their power and skill firsthand brought those far-off legends to life. For a lover of competition, such a thing was exciting to the max.
