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.

The dramatic group pose worthy of an action movie was met with only a silent, irate glare by the entranced young woman. Around her, the entourage of Morelulls blinked in surreal rhythm, jealously protesting those who would dare steal their new friend away. After a few moments, Cici drawled out her dismissal and turned to leave. Olivie eyed the deceptively adorable Pokemon who led her away using ribbons made of flesh. Several of the cruel fairies remained behind during her departure, but they remained still as if waiting. No doubt their flashes would have lulled Olivie, Bernard, and their Pokemon to sleep were they not poisoned, but the pain coursing through their veins kept them awake and alert. Unwilling to let the bewitched trainer slip away, Olivie cracked her knuckles and made to follow.

From the underbrush, a trio of bizarre, alien creatures appeared. They moved as one to block the trainers' path, staring at them with unblinking pitch-black eyes and uncanny, haunting smiles. Around them, wisps of magic revolved, but Bernard responded to the imminent assault with a smug smile, for he recognized these Pokemon. ”Shiinotic—Feyhollow's boogeymen. We made the right choice with the poison. Normally they'd be horrifying to fight, but...Scylla, Sludge Wave.”

With unexpected speed, the Tentacruel became engulfed in a rushing torrent of poisonous slop. It stormed around her like a maelstrom, overflowing with power, and when Scylla slammed herself against the ground, a riptide of sludge surged forth. It crashed into the slow-moving Shiinotic, bowling them over and inundating them with quadruple-effective toxins. Where the wave passed over, the grass was dead and brown, its plants withered. One Shiinotic, however, picked itself up. Olivie, thinking quickly, scooped up her Nidoran and hurled him at the mushroom creature with as much strength as she could muster. As it flew, the venomous rodent someone understood its purpose, and thrust his horn forward to deliver a nasty Poison Jab to his opponent's cranium. It delivered a spiteful sigh of defeat and toppled over, leaving the forest clearing quiet, still, and dark. Most of the remaining Morelull had fled, though some -caught in the sludge wave- lay dying on their sides on the now-noxious ground. Their dimming lights barely illuminated the path down which Cici and the Sylveon had disappeared; Olivie knew where she had to go next. She took a step and doubled over, barely preventing herself from vomiting. The poison had reached her guts. If she had to estimate how much fight she had left in her, she would say just over half. If she was going to save this stranger from the fairies, it would need to be done now.

Hacking violently, the forged onward, making a beeline for the blinking lights in the trees. The rest accompanied her in varying states of health. Bernard, however, collapsed to his knees. Hearing the crash, Olivie span around. "What"?" Immediately her rival's Pokemon stopped and rushed to his side, but he pushed them away. Selecting a pokeball from his bag, he sent out a birdlike Pokemon and said, ”I can't keep going. This poison is too much. You have to do it, Olivie. Painkiller, Scylla: go with her, follow her instructions. Agh! …Delilah, get me to Feyhollows...clinic.” With no hesitation, the Staravia picked her trainer up and ascended to the trees to the skies above. Olivie watched, quietly struggling with her own affliction. There wasn't much time. She started to run.

Moments later, Olivie, her Nidoran, Painkiller, and Scylla burst from the bushes near Cici. ”Hey! We're not done with you yet!” the brunette bellowed.


Working on a post, and I'd just like to take a second to thank @Lugubrious for naming a character with a poignant fate "Mar Millade".

I mean that in the most sarcastic way possible, because goddamn fam. It really removes one's immersion when I have to refer to her by name


'Mar' is spanish for 'ocean', which is associated with the color blue, if that helps.
@Lugubrious Thinking of making a post of Robert waking up after an hour or two has past in the IC. Should I say Ozpin is already there waiting or leave that to you?


He would not be present upon Robert's immediate awakening. Some time after Robert awoke, and after being informed that Robert is in good condition to talk, he will arrive.
@Prince of Seraphs Priscilla is indeed still around as an NPC.


A face cold and rigid as ice regarded Grane while he spoke of what had transpired. Ozpin's expression obscured any emotions he might be feeling in regard to the news. Did Beacon's headmaster feel anger, sorrow, or shame? What did denial of the most essential act of empathy say about his character? He listened with mask of utmost seriousness etched into his features. It did not falter when Grane began his critique of RGTS's leader, his pent-up mournful frustration eking through his own attempts at suppression. Only when Grane pointed out the stranger did Ozpin move, and he analyzed Sand in an instant with his emerald eyes. She introduced herself properly, citing her scheduled transfer to Beacon the next week, and the headmaster gave a slow nod in recognition and acknowledgment. After that, he glanced over his shoulder at Ferris, an unfamiliar individual standing a bit too close to a scene that was none of his business.

Air streamed into Ozpin's lungs as he took a deep breath, ready to speak, only for Trad to pipe up and offer his two cents as well. The headmaster's eyes narrowed as the young man corrected a few of the details of the report delivered by Grane. Conflicting accounts would have to be settled speedily and critically—sorting out what was truth and what was bias, based on nature or on the unstable dynamic of a radically-shifted team, would be necessary before any major decision was made.

When the new report was finished, Ozpin's time came to rethink his reply, and after a moment of silent consideration he clasped his hands behind his back to speak. “I am very troubled that this travesty has come to pass. It is an occurrence that will tarnish the image of Beacon and its people for generations, and far worse, it has cost us a precious life that can never be replaced. I shall work on a report to the government of Vale immediately regarding the area to which your team was dispatched; any place that harbors enough Grimm to force three hunters-in-training to abandon a fallen teammate is worthy of serious consideration. Based on your shared testimony, I will suspend Mr. Fallson's position as team leader, with a possibility of expulsion from the school. However, in the coming days I will also meet with each of you in order to determine exactly what happened and the scope of every person's responsibility. And, as well, to determine who might succeed Mr. Fallson as elader. In the mean time, please recuperate.”

Next, he faced Sand, addressing her specifically. “My sincerest apologies that such a terrible thing should cloud your arrival to Beacon, which should have been an occasion for great joy. My staff will get you enrolled forthwith. At this moment, it seems prudent to have you remain with this team, with which you are proved to have at least some compatibility. If you have any objections to this, let us know.”

With that, he span about to fix his gaze on Ferris. “May I assist you, Mr. Solidor?”
Posting might be scarce from me. Gonna be getting a restraining order tomorrow after a fight resulted in me going off on my brother. He's in jail and im in one piece thank god. Fucker tried to hurt my mom. Woulda fucki n killed him.

Fuck my life yo


I'm so sorry to hear that. Thank you for telling us.
Hey @Crimson Raven, I believe I might have misinterpreted your most recent request. I thought that you were thinking about making a post anyway, but it has been brought to my attention that you might have been referring to making a new character to fill the slot, anyway. My approval was of posting without a fourth member on the team, not making a new character. If that other situation was what you were referring to, then I must rescind my approval. At this time I don't want players to be making extra characters; only ones that existed before I decided to impose the limit.
Indigo Afina – Frenzy Camp

@Lunarlors34


The act of getting herself settled and her things organized, even into what could only be a temporary establishment in the form of her tent, took Indigo quite some time. Though by no means would the sorceress call herself obsessive-compulsive, she just couldn't be completely at ease until her possessions and appearance were returned to a state as close to faultlessness as possible. Despite this, a keen eye and practiced hands -combined with a eagerness to get everything in place- made short work of what many would consider an arduous task. The afternoon sun found Indigo seated in a folding chair in front of her little tent, deeply absorbed by a new book taken from the ruins of Belka's chapel. Within its gnawed, brown covers lay an enigmatic text stuffed with antiquated speech, which the Librarian's aptitude with words enabled her to translate to a fascinating account of a long-forgotten faith's origin story and practices.

Other than a brief start, Indigo did not react poorly to Ashlyn's inquiry. Instead, she put on her businesslike polite smile, lowered her book, and replied, ”Yes, miss. He departed not long ago in the company of Mistress Beltras of Phoenix Wing; I saw them walk by. I was not informed of his purpose, but I would venture to guess that he's attending some sort of important inter-guild matter. As someone who came to Fiore as an observer of the Games, I am sure you've noticed that there are some tensions between Jamie's guild and our own.” A stray wind toyed with a strand of the sorceress's golden hair, which she hurried to tuck behind her ear so as not to obscure her vision.
@Lugubrious I'm going to ask again because I think it got buried under the notifications you received o-o;

Can I make an introduction post to Apophis soon? I figure it'd be good to introduce him before the family day (since he won't interact with anyone until then!). :D


Yes, go ahead. I could have sworn that I answered this question before, but in case I didn't, I apologize.
I want to post, but we are still missing a person for our team...

Thinking about making one anyway.


Please do. Until we get a replacement for Asuras, that is the only option.
