@The Nexerus: People have different habits. I myself tend to use asterisks quite liberally in OoC context (and no, I don't use those as I would italicization). Also underscores in filenames and such, a habit from a time when spaces could not be used in there, and from writing function names in programming (personal preference compared to thisStyleOfNaming)... In other contexts, the accents can also be a handy way to bypass breaking a code, since apostrophes are quite frequently (perhaps even more frequently than the accents) used as functional characters. (Layout-wise, for me both are equally accessible - accents are right next to backspace and the apostrophe sits next to enter key.)

The tags aren't working because BBCode hasn't been implemented yet. They claim it will be done soon; until then, we wait and endure Markdown's shenanigans. As for the CS, looks fine to me. Did you intend to bring him in in Zerul City (where some characters are already waiting)?

As long as it's for the editor being fixed! :D Going to second this. Will certainly make the wait for a better text editor easier to carry through.

I tend to be rather particular about this one specific thing, yes. Especially since my posts tend to average several thousand words in length and thusly contain quite a few paragraphs each (worst of all is when people write rapid-pace dialogue with double line breaks after each sentence - I have a rather hard time reading those straight since I keep losing my track and skipping over lines). We don't need a thousand fancy formatting options before the most basic things possible are available.

Erh... As I've mentioned in the past, I am rather uncomfortable controlling other people's creations (unless they have literally been possessed by a character of mine or similar, in which case they'd logically be mine to commandeer as I see fit, the player agreeing with the possession as such beforehand, naturally). I guess I could just mostly ignore Thaler's lack of participation for the time being ... I guess. For the most part I'd like to resolve this unfortunate situation to at least some degree rather than, well, drag it out as it is even _further_ (mind, I haven't exactly liked the Rilon-arc ever since it surfaced myself ... least of all just when things seemed to have turned slightly for the better, for once). - This is also why I don't mind writing anguished grimdark in solo much, but generally prefer it to not be very prevalent in RPs - in solo I'll probably just sit down for an hour or two and the part will be done and over with for good, whereas in RP it can just drag on in a rather unpleasant manner. Nothing will change unless we ourselves change it, no? (If I were to suggest something, then perhaps focusing more on the action/actual dialogue rather than the internal monologue?) **Edit:** Oh, hey, someone found a way how to make single line breaks with this silly thing until we get a more functional editor: > EDIT: with a bit of googling, it turns out that you can use single line breaks by adding two spaces to the end of the line, then moving to the new line. > Example: New line! **Edit#2 @Ashgan:** I am technically working today, but on one of my breaks I decided to run up some of the posts into the Compendium Archives - is this an adequate enough summary of Jillian's adventures before the continuation of the RP on the new forum: [Link.](http://theprophecy.nefaerious.com/forumarchieve.php?name=Jillian%27s%20Trails&page=1) ((Are you good with me reformatting your paragraphs a bit?

Uhh... The rest of the formatting can wait, but single line breaks? Please? I have IC posts to write...

Eeh, I am not sure? There kind of are several things I personally see have to be wrapped up a bit... Feels very unfinished, especially on the more personal level. (For the record, though, I believe Thaler and Aemoten would get the white horse, Jaelnec would get Itanale (Aemoten's horse), Olan would be keeping the donkey, and Etakar would be by his own. Someone has to go fetch the raven. Thaler would probably be given some clothes other than *only* the blue coat.) And we probably would need to discuss how we bring everyone together which means more discussing with people on the side, and so forth. (Where would Kaiden and Gregory be brought in, even?) Might also be easier when the people in Zerul and the group met the next morning, not "today" as far as the IC is concerned. I ... don't think anyone of the group feels like negotiating with new people now, and they'd probably be even more tired by the time they reached Zerul.

I have been waiting for Nessa specifically to post in the collab for quite some time now, indeed. Other than that it, is Ashgan on Jillian's side, Rhae in Zerul and, after some Skype conversations, me again in the other collab. Legion also reworked the éireannach a bit - I assume you'd like some kind of short list or paragraph description concerning the differences?

Hrm... I see. Granted, Aemoten doesn't actually have, shall we say, general magical affinity (the canonical version of him is altogether devoid of anything magical). He did, though (in all iterations) spend a rather significant amount of time amongst mages, and was at one point tested for elemental alignment (only in the Prophecy version, as in the Ceterlaanian version there was nothing to test) - blame Ardjan for that. When you mentioned the link between what a person is like and the elemental alignment, I simply began to wonder to which extent the elements I had assigned to him and Etakar in my mind actually lined up with the qualities people with those affinities typically have. ((Edit: From the fact that it is now gone, I assume the later remark had gone astray.)) (The first thing I personally associate with darkness is actually peacefulness... Calmness. Serenity. Concentration. (And as an extension of the last, probably also productivity...))

I was not really certain what you were implying with making bombs with fire elemental magic, hence the specification (there was an incident with a player thinking that since their character can control fire, they can also create violent basketball-sized explosions *inside* other played characters standing some ways from their character with but a thought). - From what I've derived from the description of elemental magic, it wouldn't be possible to permanently alter the qualities of something with it, though ... just heat and burn things. Fire elemental affinity can strengthen other fire-related spells, but he'd still need to know some rather specific and probably complex (most likely arcane) spells to aid alchemical processes with magic.
