@Baklava Ahaha. *wrestles with both NaNo and indecision*

Shadow Smiles

@MordecaiThe 1st@Redward OH HEYLO I DIDN'T KNOW VAL WAS A PC! <33

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Draken gyahaha! *cracks up* If he's not careful she'll argue with him just to argue. But I don't think she likes him. And she doesn't like him bothering Rodion...or her. I get the feeling she'd not take well to him hanging around the workshop, and might end up peeved enough to try puncturing his ego or overwhelming his strategies, if he annoys her enough.

Gods help him if he ever makes a pass at her. Especially with Rodion around.

Just how "together" do people see them, anyhow? *wondering* And for how long have they been seen that way?

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Draken I don't think I saw a mention of him being a racist, or at least not actively and deliberately so. More a "oh yeah there's slaves" sort of a racist. Which is still awful, but that's their world for now.

Given your clarification, I'd say Ziotea's perception fits well enough, yes? Unless he was particularly rude to her for whatever reason. Not impossible -- she's rather abrasive herself, after all. Otherwise anything further for their dynamic is up to you. ^.^

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Draken *waves pompoms for you* You can do it! Definitely focus on school if you need to.

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@The Angry Goat Oh gods. Ziotea. At a bar. Surrounded by people who have been drinking. Potentially getting hit on? Ahahaaa. She might not even need ether to put your everyday drunk in the dust. The idea of Stina dragging her to a bar just so she can get in a barfight is too funny. <3 Dear gods I need this to happen now.

@Baklava Inexpensive and pretty arts? *gasp* Yesplease! ...But I"m not saying Twilight is my favorite. I don't care how much you take off. T.T

Now...the hard part is choosing who I wanna have you draw....

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Scout hush, you'll make me blush! >.<

@Lovejoy ooh, if they'd been gone for a while, iunno. *shrugs* but yeah, what all we have sounds good.

Ooh, I like both new chars! And is that Alan Walker art I see? Very nice, very nice! For Magnus, the shattered humerus would probably mean he limps, or has some other difficulty walking. And the depressed skull fracture could cause all sorts of interesting brain injuries and the like. I noticed Stina doesn't speak as clearly as he should, for example (which is brilliant, @the angry goat) so that's one way of doing it, but such injuries can also cause personality shift and so on.

I don't imagine he was ever scared of anyone, being so skilled and so clever. Underneath that hatred is probably at least a hintm of insecurity, and perhaps even fear -- not that he'd ever acknowledge it. It took him a long time to remaster walking g and talking and other physical activities. Even now the might not be as automatic as they should be -- maybe sometimes he has trouble remembering how to do a thing, just for a moment, before he remembers how. This would be especially interesting if he had memory issues initially, because he was so clever, and he knows he knows the information, but his brain just wouldn't cooperate! I doubt the lapses are significant now, just enough to remind him of what he lost and who's responsible.

Dear gods, though, if Ziotea crippled the guy then everyone else probably had to take a second look at her. Sure she was unpredictable and possibly dangerous, but that's /really/ dangerous, to beat such an exceptional individual. ...or maybe she's a hero, because she didn't let him win and have him a taste of his own medicine? Hmmm. Views are probably mixed on that. And the stories of how it went down doubtless grew with the telling....

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Scout@lovejoy Ziotea is only half, but I was going with the redhead association for fire, to emphasize a heritage she feels no attachment to, and to give her a very small (get it?) reason that others might be wary of one so small without knowing her. Plus insecurities ho! Mostly because i liked the idea, though. ^.^ *sheepiish*

She's not Irish pale, and she tans nicely, but there's not that much reason to be baring a lot of skin in a frozen land, y'know? Were this Florida or even Illinois I'd describe her as tanned, possibly heavily tanned.

I definitely like the Jewish/Israeli concept. I may be strongly biased on this matter. I don't care. ^.^; The Omestrians would probably accept anyone with "tainted" ether, and possibly those who just didnt want to live where thwy were, and over the generations that would turn them into a melting pot, most definitely. It's funny because there's a Jewish symbol (although not exclusively so) called a hamsa hand, and it represents to some extent protection from evil -- but it's also a hand, like the fragment that formed the omestrians! Might be worth incorporating into the ruins, perhaps?

And perhaps if T'sarae, the other unaggressive nation, is middle eastern culture...I could seeing them having a number of shared underlying traditions. Maybe?

@Lovejoy runners on the bottoms of the ships, like a sled. Go as far as ypou can above the ice, then go through it.

...interesting, it must be more than just a couple months after cukminationx as the teachers were around up till right before it, then crossing, then news back, then gettinin trouble, then us finding out about our unexpected assignment, then our couple weeks of freedom and time for preparation for the journey...
