Ah, oh terrible day! Frightening Memories! How dramatically terrifying!

At first she thought it might not be hostile, considering it had not attacked to start with. It seemed like it was judging her - she felt those stares aplenty back on Sal'Xantis. Ah, how the magisters and nobles oh so loved to look down on the younger Ebons such as herself! Tee-hee! Just showed their own insecurities.

Right, a tangent.

The thought of non-hostilities vanished instantly as a sharp frown formed on the creatures muzzle. The blackest night she had ever seen erupted from the castle, surrounding the area in a dome of darkness as the sun began to rise. A mild thought of the unnatural swiftness with which it rose registered in the back of her head, but she couldn't linger on that. No. She was far too focused on what was taking shape within the darkness.

The shadows swirled, starlight coalescing in place of the shadow being that had originally been there, surrounding it and wrapping it in an even darker night. What once she had thought was simply an implausibility, was quickly seeming to become much, much more real. The shadows swirled, and for a moment starlight twinkled from within, lighting up the darkness with seemingly innumerable amount of nebulae and stars, as if one was staring at the universe as a whole.

But it quickly passed, shifting again in the shadows, quickly boiling into the visage of a monstrosity.

"Ah-" How adorable! The little robot was actually trying to help! "Tee-hee! If only this little Ebon could be as confident as you, little Sparkles!" Shael's voice was still filled with mirth as she spoke, but it was obvious there was a forcefulness to it. The ground shook as to her, an impossibly gigantic creature slammed its ethereal appendage onto the ground, causing her to loose her footing slightly, a mild tinge of pain shooting up from her leg into her chest.

"Hehe! Ah, Beryllius! If you think your illusions will scare this jester," She took a few long, graceful steps back as she craned her head upwards. "Well you are quite right. I'm utterly terrified, Tee-hee!" She jovially laughed again, the gigantic creature lowering its featureless face towards her. Whether this beast had somehow followed her hear or not was irrelevant. She grabbed sparky's hand with a light grip, hopefully spinning him around. "Time to go!~" She made a beeline for the Eventide, deciding not to overstay her welcome.

~~The Wreck of the Eventide~~

Well, he supposed their ruler would decide that. A minor complication that could easily be resolved with the exchange of knowledge and culture. Friendship though? How...egalitarian? Perhaps a better word would be better used there, but that was not something the Ebon were known for. Research and knowledge above all else. To be sure, there was something to be said for keeping ones contract and deals, but friendship?...hmm...

"Jessiel'Ralleth." Jessiel replied, his long flexible arm performing a seemingly exaggerated bow. This...quadruped, Astral was an Astronomer? Curious, he would have liked to inquire more, but a violent heave of the ground gave him pause, eyes following Astral's own towards the castle. Odd. The place seemed seismically stable - but that wasn't the only odd occurrence. The sun began rising rapidly, as if the Sel'Chroma and the Sun Emperor were once again causing trouble, overtaking the moon. Secondly - a shadowy dome erupted from the castle.

...

Ignoring Astral, Jessiel turned and in fashion that made it seem as though he was floating, long robes trailing the ground lightly as he moved towards the edge of the crash magical circle and crash site.

"Mass of magical energy." Jessiel observed. As both a scientist, researcher, and scholar, it was easy enough to know how magic worked. It was a little foreign and it did not all make sense, but he did know the threat level was high. "Not unsimilar to Sel'Beryl Lunar magic. Shiestal..." He sighed, a low displeased, drawn out tired seeming chime coming from him. "Jester bringing trouble. Otherworlder," He turned to Astral.

"Dangerous. Should leave." With that, Jessiel seemingly finished whatever words he had for the pony, shouting loudly to the Ebon that had been ready for danger. They moved from the forest, back towards the ship and made a defensive perimeter, using the wreckage of the ship for cover.

The ECS Stellaria - A Sci-fi Fantasy exploration adventure

"I'll try and keep the wildlife in mind, ma'am." Erka mused, beginning the Stellaria's descent. As the ship began its descent, Kiri made her way back up to her quarters to prepare. No telling what they could find here, so they should go fully prepared. She wouldn't take her Scarath body armor - that'd be a little overkill and not exactly good for first impression should they run into some sentient beings. Checking her appearance one last time in the mirror as she still wasn't quite comfortable in the uniform, she grabbed the only thing she'd need - her blade and a small Hand Cannon as the humans would call it. Most humans would struggle to hold the thing with two hands, but its stopping power was almost completely assured if you hit your target. Could only fire two shots before needing reloading, but she was confident in her aim.

Everything else wasn't needed for the most part. With their comms linked up and Erka monitoring their progress on the planet, he should be able to provide support and warn them relatively soon of any environmental hazards they should happen upon.

Malia for the most part kept to himself, going over some of the schematics and blueprints Harisa and Jessica had given him, trying to make sense of the complicated energy related engineering equations. To say his moth brain was overwhelmed, was an understatement.

---

"How far is close by?" Kiri asked as she stepped off the elevator, catching the end of Cherche's assumption before turning swiftly to Erka after Cherche answered. "Stealth systems engaged?"

"Affirmative." The Ant replied. "If human tech does what it says, the ship should have a chameleon effect going so anything visual won't pick us up easily."

"Good." Kiri looked out of the cockpit at the landscape, leaning over Erkas chair, studying the forest's edge quietly. "Keep me update on that signal, Kendrick. We'll conduct a preliminary investigation of this planet. I estimate our away time to be anywhere between three hours to six - so if we haven't radioed in sometime after that, assume something has happened." She walked away, turning from the cockpit and heading towards the cargo bay. "Tearch, you have the Bridge. Stay Alert and don't let anything on the ship without my approval. Stay alert." Pressing the button on her comm unit, Kiri spoke.

"Helmheim, Sprinklestar, Cargo bay in five minutes!"

Huge slime?! Oh wonderful, today just kept getting better and better.

A combination of attacks from all of them made the first Dire Rat fall quickly. Ardur slammed his fist into it the weakened beast, finishing it off splendidly. The rats would be easy, but they couldn't fight on two fronts. That was just ridiculous in their current position. The optimal choice here? Fleeing and then letting the slime and dire rats fight, and then finish off whoever was left. She was confident in their abilities to handle them in their weakened state, but judging from the small tremors in the ground, they didn't have the luxury of time. She wasn't sure if Colchain would even understand complex directives. Likely not.

"I need a mana crystal, I don't have enough MP left to move, let alone fight off these rats and that slime!"

Danny's voice bought her out of her observations and thoughts.

"I heard you the first time!" Right, she needed to act. Not think. Action was needed here. She had a Mana Crystal on her, and she couldn't use it, so it was only natural to let the one who could have it even if she wasn't too keen on giving the thing she came out here to get in the first place up.

"There!" Vomiting up the Mana crystal, she spat it in Danny's direction. Hopefully it'd reach him and not be too damage by the venom. She couldn't reach him and protect Colchain and the others at the same time. "Try focusing on actively regenerating your Mana or something too! Everyone else, focus on keeping that slime busy! I can handle the rats!" She shouted to Danny, activating her 'Overwork' skill once more. Assuming fleeing wouldn't be a viable option, they'd have to quickly finish the rats and focus their efforts on just one large slime.

She wanted to ensure this rat was poisoned, however - so instead of simply going right for its throat with her fangs, Ash quickly stuck one of her claws in her mouth, soaking it in her venom. It'd likely burn, but that wouldn't matter so much to her. She might not make it in time to ensure that Colchain was completely unharmed, but she could at least pull the rat off of him again.

Ash Lunged at the Lizard Lunging for Colchain, baring her fangs and grabbing it with her hopefully venom soaked claws and filling her mouth with venom once more. As soon as she sank both her claws and fangs into the rat, she'd use Venom Shot at close range on the beast.

Who indeed.

Kiri had half a mind to tell Jess to stay here just for giggles, but she wouldn't subject Malia to that. The planet had a breathable atmosphere, comparable to Kythphus. A good baseline for all of them, then, without suffering many ill effects on anyones side. High humidity and heat made it almost seem like home. Well then.

"Helmheim, Sprinklestar, prepare for extraterrestrial exploration." Kiri ordered, walking away from the holographic display of the planet. "Find us a suitable place to land and engage the stealth systems, Tearch. Kendrick I want you to focus on that signal - even if its nothing we should play it safe." She walked back to the platform, leaning over the edge of it as the ship began its slow descent. She'd give more instructions once they had safely landed.

It seemed her joke fell flat once again. The quadruped was backing up rather quickly. Ah, pity! She'd need to find a way to break this language barrier before she continued on, wouldn't she? How else could she entertain? One had to understand something to begin with to laugh at something, after all! Like explaining a joke! Explaining a joke was bad form, yes yes!

That aside -

Something was here. Something unpleasant. Something that made her physically frail body tremble lightly. Something was quite displeased, like the President was when she heard news that the Sel'Chroma had attacked one of their border cities. Ah, not fun, not fun. The president was scary when she was angry. Not as frightening as whatever this was - but it certainly was displeased with something.

The castle door slamming open brought her out of her musings, a swift, raging wind greeting them. Cold, merciless, like the ice-blasted plains on the dark side of Sal'Xantis. The silky white strands of Shael's hair blew backwards, the chimes in her hair jingling unpleasantly as they were assaulted as she shielded her eyes with her hand.

And then out stepped something she didn't think she'd see on such a far off planet. The light inside the door had been rendered pitch black, a dark, inky void that not even her enhanced sight could pierce despite the moonlight still illuminating the surroundings. Oddly, she was not surprised to see the moonlight focusing on the doorway. Lunar Magic was standard fare on Sal'Xantis. It was the forte of the merciless cold spirits that lived on the dark side of the planet.

"Shiestal! Beryllius?" Shael's eyes widened in mild terror for a brief moment as the creature of night sauntered out of the castle. The creature loomed over even her, and was nearly completely featureless aside from a tinted glow around the edges and dark, hollow voids where its eyes should be. Whatever could it be? The initial fear was quickly replaced by curiosity as its high pitched wail assaulted her ears.

"Ah, ah, that is not a pleasant tune!" Shael held the side of her head where her ears presumably were as Zecora fled. "Tsk, you couldn't even entertain the Sel'Chroma with that noise! Hee-hee!" She brightly chuckled, shaking her head. It had looked to be something else - something she was far more familiar with. Something that meeting was almost a death sentence on her home planet. But now she merely wanted to study this phenomena, but before she could, she was once again interrupted by an incredibly unpleasant wail. "Ah, curious! Curious thing what are you? Not physical like striped hungry friend, but ethereal like the Ebon!" Despite her talking, she was quite certain this thing would not respond even if it could.

Oh well.

"I should have you know," Shael continued as the dark creature continued approaching. "I am a master in the art of skedaddling! Attacking me will be a fruitless endeavor." Despite her seeming levity, she was already preparing the 13th art to block any potential ranged attack this thing tried.

Thankfully the quadruped didn't seem hostile. If anything, he seemed more curious. Perhaps kindred spirits? Only time would tell. Silently and curiously Jessiel watched as a book floated out of the small horned creatures backpack. Magic? Here? Curious. Mental note made. The book was interesting and something of note as well. He couldn't read it, but that was too be expected of a foreign language. He continued to watch as the creature went about his work. A bright flash came from his horn - a conduit of some kind? - Lighting up the area with a brief flash of blue as images appeared above his head.

Ah, of course. A simple and obvious solution! Visuals were indeed optimal for situations where language failed between two intelligent species. The pictures lacked a certain scientific phenomena, but they did serve their purpose. The second panel seemed to indicate the creature casting another spell, followed by a third. Ah...a communication spell? That was entirely possible.

"Partly." A series of chimes and hums followed before Jessiel paused. "Temporary solution small one." He took a look around the immediate area. "Welcome here? Ebon have no wish for harm. Merely study."

Overlord - Glory in a new World

Lady Tea

Standing at just 4'7, one could easily mistake Tea, or Tania, for a child if they aren't wise to who exactly she is. She has slightly tanned skin, with an overall dainty and immaculately beautiful appearance. She has two insect like wings sprouting from her back, and a head full of brown hair. She has pointed, elfin ears and chocolate colored eyes.

Name:
Rhona Butler

Character name:
Tea Tania

Age:
30

Gender:
Female

Level:
100

Race:
Heteromorphic, Fae

Class:
Racial Class:
- Fey Queen Lvl 5
- Pixie lvl 15
- Fey Sorceress lvl 10
- etc lvl 10

Job Class:
- Natures Advent lvl 5
- Elementalist, Air lvl 10
- Phantasmal Lord lvl 5
- Etc lvl 40

Personality:
Overall, a friendly and lighthearted person with an impish streak in her. Tea, or Tania, is a good soul who ultimately likes seeing people succeed as much as she likes lobbing tomatoes at them or filling their shoes with sand. Perhaps an effect of being turned into an actual Fae, but she comments she has never felt quite so 'free' before. Before being trapped in Yggdrasil, she was quite the more meek character, as one could say.

Has a tendency to think of herself as actual royalty and bosses people around. Feel free to throw a snowball at her.

Background:
Originally from Ireland, Rhona hasn't had the most active or notable life. If anything, she was so average it was almost funny. She worked a simple desk job as IT support for some tech company or something. She always had a habit of writing and was often how she spent most of her free time. She never really thought of games all that much, if anything she thought they simply were a waste of time. It wasn't until a friend of hers brought her YGGDRASIL did she consider buying it.

She was, in one word, immediately hooked. For someone who liked writing, she quickly got into the RPing scene. She was a casual player at most, but when it came to hardcore role playing and taking the game seriously, she was one of them. She loved the game, and she poured her heart and soul into the escape that Yggdrasil provided, often using it as basis for her likely slightly self-inserty fanfics involving it.

Eventually she stumbled upon a guild by the name of 'Ardent Heralds', a guild that focused on helping newer characters get their bearings. Perfect! A good chance to both help new members...and utterly troll them. She became known as a finicky member of the guild that would as soon as help you, just as soon as she'd give you a cursed item for giggles.

She made sure never to seriously hurt anyone, though. Her ambitions after coming to the new world are simple - start her own little guild.

Items:
-Starlit blade A thin and elegant blade reserved to be used by magic classes. The blue and silver blade is cool to the touch, and is almost impossibly light. Most notably, it's able to act as a conduit for magic. It was attained from a rare quest where one could find a meteorite that fell from the heavens and forge a weapon from it. The shiny metal seems to still gleam with starlight.

- Greatwood's Vestments. Supposedly, made from the leaves and bark of an ancient, great tree within a primordial forest. The light, smooth garments were obtained in a quest where one had to kill a curse possessed greatwood. The vestments grants the wearer an affinity for nature magics, boosting them and their control. It gives one high natural poison resistance and is fairly decent protection against magic.

Abilities/skills:

Abilities/skills

-Blessing of the Fae Queen: A unique ability to those given the 'Fae Queen' class. This ability gives one either a temporary or permanent status as 'Ally to the Fae'. Those that receive this blessing will enjoy a lighter body, essentially increasing their agility as well as stamina. (Active buff)

Wind Step: An ability that effectively allows ones own body to meld with the wind. As such, they can move quickly around the battlefield and effectively avoid most incoming damage near instantly. They can however, only move around three meters at a time. It is difficult to track the wind, is it not? (active ability)

Illusory Double: She is able to create absolutely perfect copies of herself, up to five in fact. They are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Infused with her massive amounts of mana, They can touch, interact, and otherwise will be perceived by all except the strongest mages to be 100% real. The downside is, they are rather flimsy and will pretty much die in one hit. The illusions do not have any of her magical abilities, but a weak copy of the Starlit Blade is carried with them for attacking and defense, as little damage as they will do. (sustained active)

Size Change: She is effectively, able to shrink to the size of a human hand...and maintain all of her magical abilities while doing so. It gives her a massive leg up over melee users unless they have incredibly acute senses and reflexes. She can maintain this form seemingly indefinitely, as it costs very little mana to maintain. (Active)

Phantasmal Forest of the Fae: Her most powerful ability. She is able to envelop an entire location in an illusory phantasm. Once drawn in, no one will be able to escape. They will wander endlessly through the illusion until they die, decide to leave, or simply give up. Within this illusory space, the illusions she creates will seem entirely real to the victim. Strange creatures will constantly hound those caught, if they are foes.

Natures Advent: Calling upon her power as the fey queen, nature itself seems to obey her. She can, effectively accelerate the growth of plants...and even give plants temporary sentience and life - effectively making them fight for her. The entire forest can and will fight their very enemies should she have need of it. (active)

Those that are sufficiently powerful may be able to realize the entire thing is an illusion, but even so - unless they can make their way to her or have some way to forcefully break the illusion then they will continue to wonder. (Active)

Alena

Typically, Lena can be found wearing her silver armor and holding onto Fury and Mercy. They were crafted for her, after all in a bit of an RPing sense even if as an NPC she couldn't fully appreciate it until things changed. She has short blond hair, standing at a fairly tall 5'9. She is often mistaken for a male due to her armor, though she was programmed not to really mind.

Character name:
Alena Gillios

Age:
213 - programmed

Gender:
Female

Level:
90

Race:
Heteromorphic - Dullahan, Elf.

Class:
Racial Class:
- Dullahan lvl 10
- Blessed Undead lvl 5
- Undead Knight lvl 15

Job Class:
Main:
- Legendary Aegis lvl 5
- Guardian lvl 10
- Sentinel lvl 10
- Undead Cleric lvl 5
- Misc lvl 30

Background:
is the queens official 'babysitter'

Lena was created by Tea, to effectively be her right hand and personal bodyguard. To put simply, Tea may have gone slightly overboard with both the Lore and history for this particular NPC. She loved writing after all, and may have almost written an entire novel length story for the NPC. Is of course, eternally and undyingly loyal to the queen in all senses of the word. Even if at times she has to put the queen in a glass jar in timeout.

To start with, Lena is described as a young, naive, warrior who has a strong sense of justice but at times, has trouble making the right decisions. She is hesitant to ever use force in a situation unless someone is clearly going to get hurt. She gets along with most people - and has the naive belief that everyone is good at heart. She is an excellent cook, and loves training and pursuing her physical abilities. She can be somewhat serious, but is for the most part good natured and likes people, and talking to them.

Her classes are a mix of paladin and undead class skills from racial and job classes. Effectively, she's supposed to be an unmovable object that is also able to heal and slightly buff allies with the Sentinel, Guardian, and Undead Cleric skills. The racial class of 'Blessed undead' effectively means that she is unaffected by certain 'undead' harming magic.

As for her fighting style - Lena is not a fast or swift elf. All of her fighting styles are for fighting defensively. Turtle behind a shield and look for an opportune moment to strike. She's best at fighting other tanky units and mages, but fails against quicker melee units who can easily slip behind her defenses.

Items:

Items

-Fairy Queen's Fury A large sword that was forged alongside its counterpart, Queens Mercy. The blade is your fairly standard holy sword. It is a divine-class item that Tania gave her. The blade itself is incredibly powerful and sports some fairly powerful functions. Once it was a symbol of the guilds power, along with the shield. Most however, would mistake it for a rather mundane sword in their hands.

However, when wielded by one marked with a title of 'Fae' in either their racial name or job class, the true power of the blade is revealed. It is a powerful item that grants those that wield it a massive boost to their stats - specifically their health and attack power capabilities.

-Fairy Queen's Mercy This large shield would require a fair feat of strength to use. 'Tower shield' is an apt name for it. For most, it would just be a very heavy hunk of metal that could stop a charging elephant in its tracks.

When used similarly by one of the same titles as Fury, however, its abilities similarly shine. As much as Fury, it is a weapon to be used in battle. In their hands, the shield is almost weightless. The Shield has the ability to nullify any damage that hits it - be it physical or magical. It is even capable of absorbing incoming magic from a threshold and unleashing it as an attack when slammed against something. For example, if it absorbs fire magic it can expel an explosive blast if something is bashed with it. It can also temporarily infuse Fury with the absorbed element for a variety of effects.

Mercy is a bit of a misnomer honestly.

-Silver Knights Armor - A silver, if somewhat plain armor that can only be worn and obtained by those of good moral alignment. It is obtained in a rather lengthy and somewhat obscure method mundane sounding quest where one had to track the spirit of a cursed paladin of some god and put him to rest. However, most didn't realize that once you completed the quest you could find his actual body and the armor with a bit of clever reasoning and leg work.

The armor itself acts as heavy armor, nullifying a good portion of physical damage, as well as protecting one against darker magics such as necromancy, blood magic, etc.

Abilities/skills:

Abilities/Skills

- Idomitable resolve: Essentially, whilst standing still or turtling behind a shield the Aegis is able to effectively remain standing no matter what is tossed at them. (Passive)

- Lifes Aegis: The ability effectively cuts all physical damage incoming to her and her allies, by half. It lasts for roughly two minutes. Must remain still whilst using it. (Active)

- Sorcery Bulwark: As with the Aegis, this effectively cuts incoming magic damage even further. Also lasts roughly for two minutes. Must remain still whilst using it. (active)

- Protection of Faith: A wide-area buff that increases ones resistance to debuffs, ensuring one is always able to fight at full force.

- Focused Mind: A buff that makes her resistant to all mental effects such as fear or other attempts at controlling them. (Passive)

- Cursed Wellspring: The undead Cleric is able to heal allies, but this is likely her most prominent ability. As an undead, she can use healing, but at the same time it is possible for her to use her undead nature to...change, healing slightly. This is a fountain of life that heals those marked as allies for a certain amount of HP per second. However, those that are not marked as allies will suffer having their stamina drained. (Sustained active)

- Undying will: Once, when HP hits zero she is able to revive herself at 30% health. The Legednary Aegis will not fall, even in death. After doing so, any buffs are lost, but so will any debuffs. (Delayed)

"I wouldn't have even been flung if you weren't holding me!" Malia harrumphed, flapping his wing and fluttering in the air. "Ugh, just...stop please!" He whined, landing a few feet away. These humans really weren't making a good impression on him. "N-not that I don't appreciate the sentiment of course," He quickly corrected, brushing his hair again. "But ugh, you humans have such terrible oils on your skin. It's gonna make my fluff all oily." He grumbled. At least, that was going to be his justification for not wanting to moth handled.

"Haha." Erka replied over the comms. "Need to see how well she handles in case of you know, quick escapes and 'tactical retreats' as you humans say."

---

The Captain spent most of her time during travel making a few final clerical adjustments to some papers and finalizing some details with the Confederacy before they got too far out of range. After that? Sitting in the captain quarters and finishing that Soda. Ah, human stuff was simply the best. Made sure to check in and make a few rounds to make sure the elves weren't touching anything. Erka of course, made sure to keep the ship flying in the right direction, chatting with Cherche along the way. Malia mostly kept to himself, being extra jumpy from all the touching he had gotten from the humans until they finally got to their destination.

Kiri quickly made her way down from her quarters at Cherche's announcement, finding her way back onto the bridge and the elevated platform that was designed to give orders and directions from. As the planet came into view, she crowded around the Stellaria's viewing window. Erka pressed a button, metal guard plates withdrawing from the glass window and giving everyone a better view of the planet.

The world was green, lush and temperate from the looks of it. Looked to be 50% water and 50% forest, much unlike their own home which primarily compromised of a single large, tropical land and Terra. It seemed habitable, and with a larger landmass than earth it was likely to have air enough for the Myrkith to breath easily enough. And the mountains - easily the larges she's ever seen. Myrkith had its own large ones certainly, but they weren't sharp and craggy. All covered in vegetation and sloped gently until they reached their points. Two beautiful moons orbited the planet.

"Kendrik, Tearch," Kiri wasted no time getting to business as she walked back to the holographic observation display of the planet. "What's the planets readings?" She asked, not immediately answering Harisa's question. They'd need a ground team, and she was going herself for their first exploration...but who else?

Malia had elected to stay in engineering.
