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.

Hmm. After some consideration, it's probably best if we call it here. I know what should be done, but I know not how to transition this RP into such a format. I'll keep in mind the lessons from this RP for next time.

So, RTX 2015 introduced quite a bit of new stuff.

Such as Winter Schnee, Qrow, Team ABRN (with obligatory skateboard gun) and the specifics of the Vytal Festival Tournament (team matches, doubles, singles and Oobleck/Port serving as combat commentators).


Link please!
Post tomorrow. Not feeling like myself.


I can tell. You haven't tried to burn any felines or Street Fighter characters today.

In all seriousness, hope you feel better.
@Lugubrious - Oi, Lugu. Those of us whose characters have completed their fights, are they free to interact with each other or did you want a stream of uninterrupted fight collabs?


Interaction's good.

Also, I'm going to post a list of matchups on the conference document near the bottom.
Fleo Plector – with Phoenix Wing

@Amaya Tamashii


Fleo's eyebrows shot up. “Missing!? Oh, man! I bet they've been kidnapped to be held ransom. Or for weird magic experiments. Or by another guild to sabotage us in the games! Or...*GASP* eaten alive by giant Crocus sewer rats! Um, all of which would, you know, be awful. Who's Mithera again?” She wasn't quite sure if Amaya was paying attention at this point -she herself certainly wasn't- but still, despite her goofy optimism it was quite the cause for alarm. Then again, magicians went on personal quests all the time. Vendettas, funerals, weddings, very important birthdays...all could demand someone's presence faster than they could notify the guild master. ”I guess we might as well go to the arena. There's this thing, I want to do, see...” as the guild began to move, Fleo began to explain.

-=-=-


Mission success! And, Fleo had to admit, the view from up here really was marvelous. Using enormous pillars of dust and her innate hops, she'd carved her own route up to the arena and found a nice, solitary perch to watch the action unfold from. Whether or not Amaya had accepted her invitation to join her up here (”The fresh air might do you some good!”), Fleo knew she was in for quite a treat. Plus, she wasn't so high that hearing the announcer or contestants via giant speakers would be improbable. With the revelation that today's group challenge would be a maze, all the dusty woman had to do was to flip one-eighty degrees and she'd be looking out over the vast city. ”A maze, eh? It sounds boring, but knowing these wackos, they'll be sure to make it interesting!”

Xyster – Frenzy Plant Stands

@hatakekuro@Caits


On the way from the park to the Doma Flau, Xyster found herself strolling alongside the familiar, gaunt face of Joakim Fortinbras and two of the guild's newer arrivals: Gabriel and Enma. Always feeling chummy, she threw an arm around both of their shoulders, holding her head by the ribbons in the hand she'd placed on Gabriel. The Dullahan's unnerving, bonelike face lay negligently on Gabriel's chest, and her brilliant but ghoulish green eyes were only a couple of inches away from the Zodiac Summoner's mouth. ”I've got a hunch that today's gonna be a really exciting one! We didn't do too well yesterday...second-to-last kinda sucks, actually. With Hyun feeling all better though, we're more focused than ever! I really hope I get to jump in today, I'm just itching to give someone a good spook. A good show in the grab-bag round, a win in the duels, and we'll back right up at the top, babeeee! Hah hah hah, can't you wait?” Almost pulling her companions along, the inhuman was one of the first to enter the arena, such was her hype.

As such, her spirit fell faster than a chunk of depleted uranium when the flamboyant announcer Sheldon informer her that she'd be getting her wish...by running through a maze. ”Really? Really?” she questioned Gabriel, Enma, and a sighing Joakim, before throwing her head into the air in bafflement. She didn't seem to concerned about catching it again; she simply went on complaining. ”I can't scare a maze, I can't learn anything groovy about humanity from it. What a rip! At least that Nash guy gets a mongo whale to carry him around. I won't even be able to use my speed-ups unless I run into someone.”

The next instant, her mood changed completely. Wherever her head had landed or been caught, it broke out into an unnaturally wide and jagged-toothed smile. ”Whatever. I'm gonna do us proud, no matter how lame the game. Bring it on, Games! I've got game too!”
How does next Saturday sound for a good place to call this cooperative opportunity to a close?
Indeed

So random question. Does anyone have a favorite pokemon and if so, what is it?


Volcarona! Just don't put me anywhere near any rocks.
Hm, not a bad amount of people. I'll keep an eye on this.
If there's a good deal of interest in this, I'll enter once again as Midna and Zant.
Fleo Plector

@Amaya Tamashii


Fleo grinned. ”Sounds like a good plan! Since I'm not doing anything today, I thought I might as well expend all of my magic power at once doing something fun. So you know how the Doma Flau is on the top of a small mountain that sticks out of the middle of the city? I'm gonna make an entire array of dust pillars and jump between them to get to the top! Once there, I'll dissolve all but the last one. Should be a crazy view from up there.” She wolfed down a plum and deposited the core onto her plate, before spotting Damian trundling past and out the door. The dusty woman's dirty-blond eyebrows furrowed. ”Damian looks awfully serious. Has something happened? Did someone from that Frenzy guild come and challenge him?” These questions were addressed to nobody in particular, and since at the moment Fleo was thinking about approximately the same thing, she stood up from the table absently and walked toward the door to look outside.

As such, she was in Penny's way, and was nearly pushed aside as the redhead rushed after Damian. What was that about? It had been heavily rumored as of late that she and Damian were an item, but everything about this situation screamed official business. She turned back toward Nolan and gave him a shrug, as if to say, I dunno what's going on

Next on the Phoenix parade was Amaya. Being something approaching friends with this girl, and thinking that she might have a clue to the current events, Fleo followed her outside the hotel. Just as the Ice Dragon Slayer finished yawning, Fleo came up behind her. ”Good morning!” she almost shouted, deciding that if Amaya still felt sleepy it would be smart to speak loudly. ”What's the deal with Damian and Penny, do you know?”

Nero the Genie – near Dragon Fang

@liferusher@Invisible Man@Caits


What a dismal morning.

Everything was so bright and sunny and cheery. Not enough people knew the value of a nice, damp rain, Nero thought. Sunshine was so boring—it happened so much! Rain was a heap more interesting and a world more pleasant. With the heat, the genie had discarded his purple cloak, leaving it behind in the under-construction apartment in which he'd been squatting. Nothing like the Grand Magic Games to draw away attention from everyday duties, Nero had gleefully observed. Now, he was en route to Dragon Fang to find Eve. Though optimistic about her 'treatment' Nero was still anxious to see if she might have developed any side effects, like that Hyun woman. The psyche, as it turned out, was more like a tower of sticks than a field; rather than simply plucking out whatever he pleased, he had to be careful, lest the tower wobble.

And of course, skipping alongside the dark mage was his favorite ray of hope and innocence: the enigmatic and adorably trepidatious Ayame. The two traded back and forth casual conversation covering numerous topics, led mostly by the young girl and followed along with by the older boy. In good company, the trip -never that long to begin with- turned short indeed, and Nero soon found himself approaching the Dragon Fang residence.

And who should there be outside the door, talking to none other than Eve herself, but Nero's favorite person in the world? Just the sight of the Time Lord caused a slow burning in the genie's mind. He had no proof right now, save of course for his own infallible conclusions, but he suspected the Time Lord of purposefully amping Eve up to turn her into a living, necrotic time bomb. As much as it pained Nero to admit it, he'd never been best of friends with this bizarre individual, but now Nero had decided that this person was a definite adversary. Even if he didn't mean Eve deliberate harm, he was a competitor for the girl's time and attention, and after saving her life Nero thought he deserved more favor than this guy.

He squinted to make out the words Eve was tracing, then broke out into a laugh as he closed the last few yards. ”That would be an easy search indeed! I didn't know we were playing hide-and-go-seek. Ever played, Ayame? It's a grand way to spend time with friends, but on such an important day, we've got better things to do, eh Bizarro?” The genie chuckled at his new nickname for the Time Lord. He rather rudely moved past the other man to stand before Evelyn. ”Sleeping beauty has arisen at last! Perhaps you'd care to join me and Ayame for a nice little breakfast? Afterward, I was thinking of finding something to do in Crocus instead of watching the Games. Too much tension and violence to really be enjoyable to people like us, don't you think?” He hoped Time Lord was paying attention; it wasn't every day that Nero was condescending to someone while simultaneously appealing to someone else, and the dark mage would have liked to know his effort wasn't wasted.
