Sunfire Town

Sunfire

The battles came to an end. Those who were a part of it were resting in many of the towns. One of those towns was Sunfire. A colossal tree, hollowed out from the inside, yet still breathing life into its many leaves and limbs. Once inside the guarded gates you will enter a brightly lit interior. It was light from outside somehow reflecting inside like a glass ceiling.



The first level. Homes of those who live in Sunfire. Most are workers and shop owners. Though a home is always available for purchase through the temple.



The second floor. Shops and other essential locations. The shops were open. The temple was busy with injured soldiers. The Taxis were there doing their healing and mending.

The third floor is a circular flat wooden area on top of the tree. This is where gatherings are held by the Taxis and is decorated with stone statues of king Vrondi and angelic beings holding candle lights.

The Kingdom of Vrondi.

As the black dragons made their way down from the skies above the people of Vrondis capital kingdom were taken by suprise only by thr rarity of the dragons. Assuming they were feral most decided to not bat much of an eye at their direction. The center areas were good for mingling and shopping. The brown homes was the carpenter district where many sold and traded things for the home and labor for domestic jobs. The red roofs on the other homes were indicators of the fighting district. Weapons and armor were smithed there and sold with heat almost like Fotia rose from many of the shops there. Then there were the blue homes. There, books and spells were sold that were often visited by a Magoi or a Lassa. This made this district far better kept and mystic orbs floated amongst the shops to indicate they were open. Even artists were among those in thr blue homes as books were plentiful and had all but forbidden knowledge there. There were books from how descendant reproductive systems work to how to churn wyvern butter. Even technology lost and found long ago were described and many of the Lassa's advancements were written in detail within hundreds of volumes. This was provided by the Magoi, as well as spells that ranged from healing to shifting, alchemy books too. One could learn about the world in this area but it did lack forbidden knowledge which were only found in certain hands.

The rest of the buildings were homes. All except for the castle that belonged to King Vrondi. As night was cast over the land the people were mostly in their beds. Having been assured through their Kings sheer power that no cultists could breech their defenses. Or if they did then it would all be over regardless. It was only a few night time floaters that witnessed the descending of the two dragons. The few guards available began to move to the dragons with spears in hand. However their psychic signal was already made aware of their peaceful arrival. The majority of those in this land were Sol, but many minorities of other lands were sprinkled within, and it showed. The shops that were region specific, like a Lassa selling fish, were high quality despite being from another land.

"Welcome to Vrondi.." mentioned a guard whom resumed his patrols immediately after raising a hand and soluting to those riding the dragons. As there was enough space for them to land they did not startle the people around them. Many if not most were fast asleep.

Blaze

Blaze

The Town of Blaze. An industrial town that housed mostly Fotians. The other less rarely seen group are Gaians. The flow of earth and fire keeping the machines drilling into the ground both in sea and on land. A mist forming on the waters from the redirected lava flowing beneath its surface through pipes and directed to massive machines above the water and within that act as factories to heat metals and shape them for many different needs. One important one being Fotian war machines that are capable of firing explosive projectiles from great distances and layered with metals.

1. Fotian Soldier HQ. Fotian soldiers and guards hold up here and coordinate themselves using the mass of supplies held inside. Weapons, food, beds and more makes stationing here a breeze.

2. General goods stores and markets. Fresh fish from the sea and a path to the docks. The workers mostly live here and have a tight community of mostly Fotians and Gaians. Given the technology being built here a few Lassa are about but mostly are just visitors.

3. General goods market. An indoor market for general goods being sold by various sellers.

4. Pyrus Temple. A temple to honor the bloodlines of the kings and queens of Fotia. The story of ascension being told from the start to current era all carved in stone and in dramatic depictions.

5. Royal smith. A blacksmith for the guards and soldiers whom also does work for high buyers. He enjoys the sea waters and has a daughter that loves tinkering with tools.

7. Dragon lodging. Holding barn for dragons of riders.

8. High Power Factory. A factory made on land to build various important machines. Mostly war machines and the Fotian attempts at creating advanced Apps without the help of the Magoi or Lassa.

The day went by as usual. But as the night drew closer Fotian soldiers began to line the outer barriers. They were all fully armored with their dark red almost brown leather paddings and ash colored metals. Helmets shaped like dragon mouths as they peered into the darkness and marched through it, aiming to meet whatever waited for them within. It was not long until the forces of Blaze met to push back the cunniving forces of the cultists. These cultists attacked from the south east mountain on the map. Using it to penetrate past the volcanoes Fotia relied on to protect its capital. The flaming mines did away with many of these cultists. Their remaining forces meeting pillars of flames as trees and whatever stones remained were turned to cindering blackness that escaped to the skies. Blades met bodies and ejected blood to wash away the fire and spelled a sweeping victory early on for the defenders of Blaze. Though the cultists continued to refrain from letting their high numbers be underestimated and the nights battle continued.

Twilight

Twilight Town

The simple town of Twilight. The bar and inn and the simple general stores reside infront of the well in the middle of town. The tour guides to Nero's capital and back reside to the west near the towns entrance and exit. Vrondi guards keep watch of this area but do so lightly. The presence of Nayu soldiers linger in and out every once in a while to keep the power over this simple place divided. Those who live here are mostly Sol but many of them have Nayu blood. Thus the town is home to the moonlight sorcerers and warriors, those who harbor both blood and commune at night in the light of the moon. Awakening rare spells and abilities that manipulate darkness and light.

..::Ascension::..

I hope my last post wasn't confusing.

[TZDL2017] Rai vs Tasuke - Preliminaries

A odd sound it was. A scream from a strange source. It's silence following the fastening grip on this woman's weapon. This was noticed but not taken as much more than a spell perhaps used for keeping things at bay with fear rather than strength. As he looked into the dead expression of the woman with his own. A swirling color like flames sat in their depth like a shell containing unquenchable fires.

His emerging smile contrasting the gloom she wore and his brow rose to intrigue as she rejected the farmer status. A drifter he thought as his right thumb cupped his chin in thought. Accepting his initiation he spoke "Yes indeed you are.. I come from many battles. Ones that legends are made of. My power has cursed me to remain at combat.. unable to appreciate the simplest of fine things life may offer." As he spoke he expressed grief for his situation and brought himself closer to her with a gentle step. He would stop only a meter before her. Well within his reach. He would look down on her. Taking note his size covering hers in width. His smile was back but it was a somewhat cocky and seductive one with eyes lowered like a bedroom lover.

"I am Magnixx Hanoxx. King of Fotia. Dragonslayer. I seek only a moment to feel those simple pleasures before my next battle... to feel warmth, and to share my own." Hands spreading out he spoke with an open and inviting posture. "

Maybe Sulley should just scoop Soron and Alexis up as he retreats to Sunfire. Maybe pick up a few others too. He will have to escape the cloak though. Which is still a sentient man despite its form. Get past him and you're Scott free since the basilisk is not moving and the cultists are mostly charcoal.

Since Sulley might have calmed down some he can hear your mental messages.

Hunter x Hunter: 108 Stars of Destiny

Rain

"Water."
Spoke Rain in a low and contained voice to the female waiter who aimed to serve him. She stood near him as he sat leaning back facing toward the stage. His eyes avoided meeting hers. A line made his lips and with it his facial expression exuded a look of apathy. His eyes were surrounded by dark coloration that gave his cold eye lids the look of a man with little sleep but within his eyes was a sharpness that defied the likely apparant ailment. He was leaned back but active. His eyes not darting but hardly stopping to blink as he looked to be observing the stage and nothing else. However his eyes did come down to meet the numbers and appearances of the other hunter entrants. The waiter next to him expressed her desire to serve him a good meal. He declined but gave her a word to return later and said "Maybe I'll get hungry after looking at something more ripe to eat." He spoke with a surprising eloquence despite the vulgarity of his language. His eyes looking to meet her unexpectedly and winking as he leaned on his fist. The waitress could only blush in reply as she nodded and walked away. Rain sighed with a disappointed suck of his teeth. "That butt is a little too flat.." His eyes returned to the stage and observed silently the atmosphere and those around him. Using little beyond a glance here and there to give away his curiosity. The more interesting people he saw the more he found his excitement rising. The pre-exam was a addictive taste to what was soon to come. As the waiter returned with a tall glass of iced water with a lime on the edge Rain began to remember the moments leading up to here.

It was a job for some mafia boss. He was a stickler for getting the right guy's for a job who had no ties to legal industries. Rain was perfect. He was called in for his knowledge on chemistry and most importantly his narcotic knowledge. It was a rare plant brought in from a far away land. They wouldn't exactly say where it was from just that it had very rare seeds and he was to use those seeds to perfect a drug for them. To make things even more strange they only had enough to make two pills. While not introduced to the plant directly Rain was able to reflect upon the multicolored hue the seeds gave off when but by sunlight. Otherwise they appeared as normal seeds the size of sunflowers and dark brown to black in color. Rain used this opportune moment to request a specific kind of payment and that payment was to find him a navigator. As most navigators were honest people it was difficult to tell if he would ever come across one given his lifestyle. So it was specifically stated for him to find a navigator under any means and to find the location of the exams if possible. "You ask for a lot KID but if you deliver I'LL deliver." The boss told him assuredly and proved himself with the display of his wealth. However Rain was only interested in his end of the bargain being met, knowing that the hunter association was a formidable group to try and manipulate. So Rain went to work and concocted two pills of the drug for the Mafia boss and completed his end.

Things get interesting once you make promises. Rain found himself looking down the barrel of a few guns and didn't seem to flinch much. He simply raised his hands in the air. "Sorry KID but finding a navigator for your little dream ain't worth it. Might as well clean up loose ends." It was at this moment Rain simply began to smile. He looked to the ground and then held his mouth with his hands. Apologizing before facing the boss. "YOU'RE the loose end here." When he was done the boss was lit up with gunfire from his subordinates who stood by his side. Riddled he fell to the ground in a bloody heap and could only watch from the pooling crimson floor as his very son stepped from the other room onto the floor. His son was young but around Rain's age. He had a suite on and gloves as he stepped before his father's dying body. "You always try to destroy your greatest assets. This is where things change my dear papa. Join mama in heaven and be free of this world. Your ancient ways can no longer stay in effect. I will soar us beyond what you've ever seen." He held his father's bloodied corpse as rears streamed down his face.

Rain was soon compensated with what he looked for. A navigator connected to the Mafia one way or another was told of Rain's intrigue and resourcefulness. Able to make out what would happen and used the bosses own son against him. How Rain managed to gain favor with the Boss's son was a mystery. But it was clear Rain used his connections and his time well enough to keep him afloat in the most dangerous of organized operations. Being dropped off by a limousine was not his style but it worked all the same. The land he saw coming here was familiar with how impoverished the people here were in the slum areas he rode past. He had a black bandana over his nose and mouth and tinted goggles to protect his sensitive eyes to not only the sand but the sunlight as well. He met the front desk woman and laughed a bit at the million dollar price tag. However he was given a VIP card by the navigator. A mafia esque character with sunglasses and a top hat. He had a trimmed beard and stache but did not reveal any special details about what made him an appropriate navigator. Rain did not ask though. He simply used the elevator to find his way around and indulge in what he could find. He was feeling nervous and this made him excited. A smile emerging on his lips as he sat at the table. The waitress placing the glass of water on the table caused him to hide his smile which was emerging ever greater in width on his face. His black bandana covering his nose and mouth.

Bring the Rain

Rain

Wash it all away.

Race: Human
Age: 27
Sex: Male

A slender medium to short heighted man. However he is a bit larger in the upper body and slender in the lower body. His height reaching a little over 5'6 feet. Markings on his face with a cyan blue tint. He often wears a black scarf to cover his lower face when hes trying to hide his smile. He wears black steel toed boots a chain to his wallet and black pants.

Personality

A mysterious individual amongst most people. He doesnt find pleasure in staying still to say the least. His desire to reach new heights gives him optimism. So much so his eyes and mouth smile ear to ear with a unusually bad timing. It is usually when facing death that he finds his excitment beyond his containment. For his death is a thrill and no mundane thing will ever end his life. This makes him reckless. Even to the point of self harm and sacrifice he would do so. Though he would prefer to use others for his necessary sacrifices, self preservation being his key foundation. His nonchalant attitude and low rent tastes makes him beyond the slow subtle ease of love and domestic life to follow. He does have limits to his thrill seeking and wont harm children. Very little gets him angry however. On the contrary he is easily excitable and is visibly so. So he hides beneath his attire.

For those close to him talks of women, drinks and good times is often flowing from his toungue. He seeks to be able to live life to the fullest and desires to hunt the new thrills available else where. He desires deeply in his heart to make money he can give his mother and earn it in a way his father would be proud of.

Biography

Born in the ghetto he grew up amongst the city rats and admired the wealth displayed by those enjoying the city lights. He knew he wanted to live luxuriously. But he knew his tastes were different from those he saw aiming down the path poor musicians played to enter fancy restaurants. Laughing with boring pleasantries until their meals were through. He despised this as he watched his own family live impoverished. His mother and father were hard workers but could not afford much even for their only child. His father was indebt to a gang for a favor long ago, a life and death favor.

He could feel his father weighing his own lifes worth each day he rose to work for nothing. Until the day finally arose his father no longer afford the debt and the family. That was when Rain left his mother alone. Only returning a week later with cold hard cash and a offer to move up from her poor home. But she refused. Knowing where money of the kind came from she could not accept the path her son chose. Even if he did so to compensate for the missing father and cheer her up. Rain moved out now, at 15.

He decided to live with his friend whom family owned a martial arts center. He trained there often from the age of 10. But now he used it to release his fustrations. Though he learned a lot there he dropped out of school and began living with a dealer whom let him concoct his drugs at home. Many young and brightly futured people experimented and Rain made his connections this way. He soon found himself traveling with thrill seekers with cash to spend on anything they wished. Rain pushed the limits of this and found his thrill seeking to surpass their own and their moneys limits. He keeps many types of connections, most made from the underground scenes he takes part in. Raves and nightclubs are his favorite places. He still finds time to take good care of his body. Having enough money to live on his own now he rarely if ever sells anymore. His drugs being legends at this point.

Abilities

Physical Physically Rain is small yet compacted. His muscles hardened down to his eighth ab line. He has speed and stamina comparable to high ranking olympic athletes. His body is flexible as well allowing him to bend in ways most would find impossible. He nears contortion levels but his flexibility mostly resides in his legs. He has high hand eye coordination which makes him a excellent marksmen with light weapons and capable of accurately judging small and fast object trajectory in an instant that do not go beyond eye speed. He can parkour fairly easily with is strong yet small body.

Mental Gifted with a high spatial awareness and a IQ to match he was always on top in his class with little effort. He advanced his ability from a young age to learn many different chemical combinations. Technological hacks. Weapon techniques. Combat technqiues and much more. Street smarts. He would never master one specific skill and when it came to combat instead would only focus on learning how to counter the best techniques. In doing so he did master how to properly defend himself against trained killers such as military personnel.

Underground Junk - Due to his knowledge of chems he was a big hit with the dealers of the underground scene he loved to be a part of. As a result he tested on himself many feel good drugs. He has become immune to many drugs now and has a special serum just for himself that was too strong to sell even underground. When using this drug he has his adrenaline rise. Muscles relax a bit. His senses open up as colors and sound become more detectable. He feels eurphoria and numbs himself to pain.

Connections - Due to his popularity underground and amongst tech savvy individuals he has many hook ups from cities all over. From the race driving scene to the raves if its at night and is fun hes a part of it. His serums have put many dealers out of business and thus has created his need to remain cautious and weapon ready. His well known survival streak has awarded him the hearts of many he has come across and the favors accumulated serve him almost like a power. A cell phone text away he could have a super car pick him up. Or escape into a VIP room. Have a weapon delivered. Almost any street level illegal thing he could achieve with minimal effort. Hackers, chemists, taggers and more are under his favors list, allowing him potentially heist level crime abilities and more.

Miscellaneous: His nickname was Rain. He uses it officially now by law.

[TZDL2017] Rai vs Tasuke - Preliminaries

No other being seemed to travel the paths that sat between the crops that layered the land. None other than that woman whom strolled his way, as he too strolled to her. He ignored the cackling flames behind him that dwindled as the seconds rolled by and left nothing more than smoke, a clear sign of a fire as the black lines marked the open blue sky. It was when his sharp eyes could make out the design of this woman's attire did he pause. No armor. No visible strength and a rusted weapon being dragged along. Perhaps this was her mere means of protection from bandits. It was only a woman, a weak looking one at that. But weak was not entirely bad as subservience was easier and better in his trials for concubines. As a rare opportunity this may be he was wary of this lone woman who had eyes that have seen blood. He knew these eyes well but the figure did not match. She was like an angel the way she appeared so fragile and this was opposite to the warrior women he knew well in his armies.

As she approached he stood with arms crossed. He spoke to her when she reached 7 meters from his person. "You. Farmer woman. Have you a moment for a word to please your ears? It will be worth more than the fields before you I assure you."
