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'll work on a sheet and send it in PM as soon as I'm not distracted by the new Bloodborne DLC.

Secrets, eh? I'm somewhat interested. Would I be welcome here?

@Lugubrious Could you give me a link to the character sheet of the missing member of Team Blackguard? I've been reading some of the initiation ceremony battle and I'd be interested to see more of her character.


That's darn tough to do, since both the links in the OOC's second page and the search function don't work, but I'll see what I can do.
@Lazo, I thought the implication was to put your ideal sheet into our PM for potential approval in the future should space become available after the other person in the waiting list, not directly insert it into the accepted characters tab without even introducing yourself.

To make it clear, Lazo is not part of the RP, and is in fact second in the waiting list.

i can't find it


Do you read my posts? Try the first section under the header of my second-to-most-recent one.
@YipeeXD I think you missed where one of the Indigo doubles, Ash, is standing by the entrance to the arena in hopes of waylaying any opponents trying to come near.

It would work much better if the rest were done in a collab.


Durn it you had to go and invalidate what I said immediately with your competent post.

Uh, I'm up for a collab.
Rules or no rules, it's still filling up what might otherwise be worthwhile space with near-worthless posts. I mean, we have an entire page so far with no single post longer than four sentences.
Indigo Afina – Treasure Hunting

@oblivion666


Only the sound of thunder outside threatened to give Plum pause as she seized the second violet lacrima prior to flapping her way out of the cathedral. Bats deserted their perches en masse to revel around her, squealing joyously. Nevertheless, Plum did not allow any elation for the completion of her task to keep her from noticing the 'fight' between several mages on the ground. Two identical-looking guys (how strange to see humans so similar so close!) were being absolutely demolished by a strident, merciless lightning sorceress and an intimidating man with an aura equal parts power and darkness. Under normal circumstances, Indigo might have interfered to prevent potential loss of life, but Indigo wasn't here. Plum giggled and smacked the two violet lacrimas together triumphantly, then winged her way toward the colosseum to complete her mission. The bats followed behind, equally careful to avoid Carrie's voltage.

Breathing deeply, Vert steeled her nerves. Though she'd performed her imminent magical feat numerous times since being individualized as the holder of Wolfenstein, it never came easy. Finally, after deciding she couldn't wait any longer, Vert sucked in her breath and opened her book. Immediately a burning pain wracked her body, causing her to twist and cry out. Like a serpent's venom, this agony suffused her heart and flooded through her veins, causing them to bulge and discolor. Doubled over, she held in her tears until the magic-tainted blood entered her eyes, turning them a sickly yellow-green. At that point her whimper turned into a howl; the bones in her limbs lengthened and rearranged, her skin grew darker and ashier, and even her jaws jutted out as her teeth erupted into fangs. The spell affected not only her body, but her clothes, which lost their color and became loose, shapeless garb. The formerly gorgeous librarian had transformed into a werewolf, so thoroughly as to be unidentifiable as female if not for her platinum-blonde mane of hair.

Growling and frothy with spittle, Vert clutched her book in her blackened claws and started running, using her other hand every other step to move all the faster. The next instant she pushed through the minimall's front door, scattering terrified townsfolk before her. Vert made a beeline for the 'new products' aisle, and snatched with her jaws from its pedestal an iridescent green lacrima. Able to move as quickly as she pleased with the populace too scared to try to obstruct her, Vert sprinted for the door, up the street, and back toward the Doma Flau with her treasure clutched tightly and slobbered lightly.

How typical was it that the indigo lacrima turned out to be the object of not the real Indigo's search, but of Teal's. The Yawg in hand, Teal espied the oversized magical marble sitting in an ashtray on the counter of a tiny pizza shop, not at all hidden ever from street view. Shrugging, she ventured inside and greeted the bored-looking cashier with a curt nod. It made Teal mad -as many things did- that in her own mission she encountered no challenge of any kind. Though of course the event took the form of a treasure hunt, Teal had envisioned puzzles, monsters, or some other kind of adversity keeping the lacrimas out of the competitors' hands, but no, if this represented the standard then only complete idiots would be returning to the Doma Flau with anything less than a full set. Snatching the lacrima and dusting it off on her sleeve, Teal hurried from the store. As she jogged back the way she came, she heartily begrudged the lack of opportunity to reflect her stormy mood with a magical tempest or two, but whatever. The less the Games' peons tried, the easier the win.
