Bio

My Name is Shadow Daedalus, but I will accept pretty much any diminutive form you can come up with. I am active in the GMT Timezone, and I mention this to help coordinate posting times with others.

I like to RP things with fighting and grit, but chilled out RPs are good too. I'm a little out of practice, so my writing style falls anywhere between Low-Casual and High-Casual.

Wide range of tastes, like Sci-fi, Modern, Fantasy and Historical. This also includes a diverse range of Fandom content, especially Games and Anime.

I don't usually play more that three characters at a time, and I'm more comfortable as a male character, but I might try to expand more in the future, you'll have to wait and see...

Not very interesting, so feel free to ask me questions :D

@Gowi I never said that they were magical libraries. I meant regular libraries that he searched and rarely found magic books in. It's not like people didn't copy Thornwell's work and take those copies out of Forlonia.

oh well, For clarity's sake, I'll change it
Ok, I'll post him later, maybe tomorrow
Here is my revised character:



If it needs adjusting, feel free to say so
@Zugzwang Sounds fair enough to me. When are you going to put up the OOC and CHAR pages, just so I have somewhere to jot down my character when he's done?
I've been looking for a RWBY RP for a while now, so I'm very interested. One question though, how much are we expected to right per IC post? I'm comfortable with two or three paragraphs but I don't like to do more than that...
@Gowi I think I'll transfer to House Blackwater. It'll probably be a little easier to write IC as well, because I can tailor him more to my real personality. Will the name still be an issue, or is it OK because he's a prince and royalty usually have more fanciful names?

And some info on the danger in the northern areas would be greatly appreciated. What kind of animal or monster would attack him in the forest/woodlands, and what larger animal/monster would try to steal its meal?
@Gowi So, now the only remaining issue is the name. I'm not sure what constitutes a simple name in a fantasy world, so would you care to give me an example, or something to work from?

Also, Sterling said she was probably going to give up on her character because she didn't feel interested any more.

Addendum: Would It be entirely possible to change houses completely? I was thinking of moving Prometheus to House Blackwater (a Tromani House) and starting fresh or giving up with my House Lothlahr.
James 'Iykos' Frost



The sun was low in the sky as Iykos weaved back through the buildings skirting the BOC territory. He used the low light to his advantage as he avoided the patrolling gangsters. Truth be told, he'd rather pull the pistol from his hip and shoot a few of them down to burn off some stress, but he had to focus on tearing down one criminal first and not draw the attention of arguably the most powerful gang in the city. He slipped out from the shadow of a dilapidated bank and was almost in the clear, until...

"Yo, stop right there mothafucka!"

Iykos stopped and stood up straight, raising his hands in a non-threatening manner. Two gangsters had spotted him, and pointed their guns at him. A quick look told him it wasn't a pair of BOC, god knows he doesn't need that heat right now, so the only other gang operating in the area were Tarvelli's. He frowned to himself and muttered to himself.

"I warned you, Tarvelli. This is on your hands..." .

The two gangsters edged closer until the closest one was within arms reach.
"That's it. Nice and each, bitch. Don't try anything smart with me."

"Smart? I doubt you'd understand it if I did."

The gangster grunted at the insult and made a grab for the gun on his hip, and Iykos reacted quickly. He grabbed the closest gangster's wrist and twisted the gun out of his grip before pulling him into the path of the other gangster's gun as he fired, the bullets slamming into his chest and ending his life. The shock of killing his friend froze the gangster for just long enough for Iykos to pull out his own gun and fire, two .45 calibre rounds finding their target in the man's stomach and lung. He went down and Iykos dropped the other man's body.

As he was about to leave, he heard the wounded gangster moan in pain. Without remorse, he stood over him and fired a single shot that tore into his skull. As his body fell to the ground, Iykos let a small smirk onto his face. Two of Tarvelli's men dead in BOC territory? That'll put pressure on Tarvelli, which will make it easier to get rid of him once and for all.

He quickly continued onto his hideout, making sure no-one saw him near the bodies. Closing the door behind him, he crossed over to a battered but comfortable couch and promptly fell asleep, the events of the day finally catching up to him and tiredness hitting him full force.
@Gowi In regards to your last message:

His name: I am not familiar with the naming conventions of this world, but I was under the impression that real-world mythology wasn't around. I chose the name because of its phonetics as opposed to the link to mythology, so is that link the problem or is the name itself too fanciful?

Magic: Entirely self-taught, he used old text books and writings he had found in various libraries to slowly build his basic capabilities. Experience-wise, it took him 6 months to learn what a magic tutor could teach in a week. I am curious about your idea though, so i'd like to hear it.

Age: I chose 19 to fit with Sterling's character, Nikalai, as her older brother, but now that she is no longer being used I can adjust his age to being 17 to fit with the other new students.

God/s: I was trying to write more IC, sorry for the confusion. As I said, he doesn't care about religion, so he doesn't care if it's one god or twenty.

Also, I am writing in the British dialect, so 'travelled' and 'realises' aren't errors.
@Gowi


I understand that some of this may need some work, so feel free to point out what's wrong and what you need me to do. Sorry if it's quite short, I have a more minimalistic writing style.
