My Very Brief Bio

Male, 31 years old. (So I'm practically dead, as we speak.)

Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)

But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Raargorgathan nodded. “Very good. Beds will be to your right, I’ll be sure to alert you if I discover something.” Swaying the corresponding wing toward the ship as he observed her heading back inside. Eventually walking through the same hallway that Ali had originally entered, the strange walls opened up on the starboard side and provided a pathway to a series of doors that each lead to equally small bedrooms. Seeing that a bed large enough for her body was the only amenity in the room, but it was warm and quiet, a suitable space for getting some rest. He faced Bri as it begun making its request, his eyes blinked and shifted to the corner, seemingly pausing to consider his answer. With the blessing of a little insight, one might guess it wouldn’t be a simple yes or no reply.

“Come with me to my control room. I’ll give you a detailed transcript of my fuel source.” He answered in a serious tone before letting out a few chuckles. “But it’s a mixture of so many things, that I wouldn’t be able to replicate it, or tell you how it functions. But the knowledge alone should satisfy you yes?” Then he turned his back to her and crossed his arms. “I’m afraid I won’t permit you to make unnecessary modifications to my vessel. But you probably don’t sleep, correct? So if you wanted to, we could explore the surface together. But I must warn you that it will likely be dreadfully boring...” He glanced over his shoulder and headed up the ramp with a bit of haste. “Let’s not dawdle any further...”

Cut off by the same drastic change of light occurring instantly, enveloping their surroundings in total darkness and staying that way. His response was quick. “Get in.”
Suddenly answered by the noise of their living room television vibrating through her bedroom walls. A familiar news broadcast, with the overly enthusiastic hosts that was turned on every morning to wake them from their grogginess. But when she eventually ventured outside to check, she’d find herself alone with all the lights off. A peek out the window would confirm that there were no cars in the parking lot, and a thick layer of fog shields her sight from the rest of the world. Yet the loudness wouldn’t hurt her ears no matter how close she was to the screen, as everyone of her senses had sharpened into clarity. She should’ve felt it crawling atop her skin and from deep within her bones. Power — with an equally strong moral obligation to fight the horrors that faced her that fateful night. She just wasn’t the same person after what happened yesterday and today wouldn’t be any easier.

Reports on the spreading of rumors about demons online and the disturbing imagery getting shared among websites. A small group of cultist protests that erupted in violence. Cults that worship them and expect them to bring Japan to an end. Claims on monster sightings and speculation that they’re tied to similar conspiracies that are certainly fake — or so they say. Soon to be informed on her school being temporarily shutdown for a police investigation for an undisclosed amount of time. The only other information given by the authorities was that bodies were found and that they’re taken matters very seriously. But that would be met by a nearly instinctive cynicism in the back of her mind, could they solve anything if they didn’t even understand the problem? A man blind to the light can't kill the shadows.

Whether she remembered and acted upon his appeal or not. A brightness flashed into the living room and Eshu appeared, though the splendor of it was admittedly lessened as she saw him quickly shutting the window that he entered from. Despite approaching Mika by floating barely above her head and holding that lantern stick, the creature seemed oddly ordinary. Perhaps they had formed a connection of sorts, or maybe it was in comparison to everything else. The dull glimmer of his sad eyes expressed the same emotions she had. The way his stare peered into her soul would have sent chills down her spine, if he hadn’t immediately began to shine, showing a smile that comforted her heart before words had escaped his mouth. “Your friend is okay. Her parents were notified by the hospital. And if you wished to speak to her, I've gotten her room number as well.”

The cellphone hadn’t been charged, but a home phone was still in the kitchen that she could use. Finally obtaining some needed closure, that she had made a difference for the positive and saved Kiyoko from danger. The possible question of what comes next would be addressed before it was asked, shaking his head slightly as he spoke in a hurried manner. “Don’t worry about the demons right now and please excuse me, there’s somebody I must meet...”

And with those parting words, Eshu left the way he came in. Hopefully she'd enjoy a private conversation or at least a chance to contemplate. He didn't want to leave her so abruptly, but he couldn't afford being late with so little time remaining...
Ravi




Even Ravi was a little impressed by how fast both the bowl and Munchi hit the ground. His group appeared to give off a good first impression from the looks of the older ones’ smiles. In silence his head turned away from everyone and let out a trembling exhale to lose his inside jitters. Facing forward to smile brightly at the adults going to grab some blankets, the word alone brought him comforting thoughts that only would be better when he slept without worrying about staying warm if the fire goes out. Forcing his voice to squeeze out every drop of sweetness to make lemonade of his sour situation. “Thanks! That would be lovely!”

He immediately coughed then attempted to clear his throat, giving himself a gentle reminder. “Eh. Note to self, remember to breath before speaking...” To avoid further issues, he waited for their return to quietly watch them laying out three covers that they needed to divvy among themselves. An easy solution ticked off in his brain, seven of them and Vi wouldn’t need it. So two could share and curl up beside each other — which sounded quite cozy indeed. Despite Nathan’s attempt to start a dialogue, due to how sluggish a few were acting, Ravi recognized that discussion would have to come later. After mentioning their morning plan to scavenge the forest for mushrooms, the adults also excused themselves for the night. It sounded like the perfect way to repay their kindness, for granting the whole team a far superior shelter than the cramped cave.

“Goodnight.” Ravi yawned. Though even sleepiness hadn’t softened his scary grin at the others, as he began to slither underneath a blanket. “Ssso, who wants to cuddle up with me? I promise I don’t bite.

Despite the obvious attempt to be playful, his tone made it almost impossible from anyone not to be dubious. But if it helped them sleep at night, Ravi would soon go out like a light and wouldn’t stir until sunrise...
Raargorgathan kept his posture straight with his arms crossed, quick to respond to both inquiries with a critical tone and a shaking head. “I understand your concerns. But my fuel source shouldn’t be a problem for a while. I never go to space unprepared. Besides, the likelihood of finding parts on this barren planet, let alone searching for fuel in a different dimension which seems like a lot of wasted effort. And no, I don’t have the need for vehicles.” He said lightly pointing to the wings suddenly spreading out wide to unleash a dirt cloud behind him. “Think these are just for show? If I wanted to carry you two and take you for a ride, I could easily and probably do it faster than these vehicles you speak of.”

The rest of the specifics of the questions went unanswered for a reason, but it certainly didn’t sound like it was doubt in his words. His boldness went past his grin and left them with the question of do they wish to argue against this? But depending on how well one read somebody, that same confidence might’ve been a little lacking in another explanation that was given. Was the sun turning off and on again really a natural illusion? He sighed and dropped his arms down and casually scratched his side. “Keeping The Ingentis repaired and fueled is solely my responsibility since it’s my vessel, I won’t accept others expending energy when I should do it myself.” He pointed over his shoulder and finished his proposal. “I’ll search the darker area of the land, because it's more likely to be there. You can stay here and guard my ship. If you find that acceptable?”

Banned because it was me, Dio.
A ramp descended from the docking bay, exposing the trio to the desert atmosphere once they all stepped out of The Ingentis. Giving them both an opportunity to gaze at their surroundings; the only activity was the swirling red clouds above and the sun that hurt their eyes if they focused on it too long. If either were curious, one look could confirm that the ship’s exterior contradicted with how spacious it appeared to be from the inside. Rhaegar hadn’t spoken up yet, instead his wing shaded them as he swung it over his head and peered toward the horizon. Was he seeing something they weren’t? His posture and expression seem tenser than it had been moments beforehand. His narrow focus glanced down at the two of them when Bri began running an analysis on the planet. His wing returning to his side as he passed in-between them and stopped moving just ahead of them. Seeming to be bothered by a particular part of her suggestion as he crossed arms and gave an assured reply. “There’s not any water below the surface that we’ll be able to access.” He cleared his throat and tapped his claw against his chin. “At least that’s my best guess...”

He turned to face them with a grin as his tail swayed from left to right. “Resources aren't an issue. We have plenty of hydration and food. In fact, I've already calculated the approximate amount of days we have before we need to worry about lacking essentials. So I'd suggest that we search for further communications-”

But the sentence cut off suddenly along with the life of the planet. Everything around them became pitch black. Rhaegar’s vision wasn't affected, but it brought him similar confusion as he muttered inaudibly. It was the fastest day to night cycle Ali or Bri had ever seen. The shimmering glow had switched to darkness like a lightswitch. But they'd feet an unsettling chill rush through theirs backsides as the same intense light returned like the world reset. Then again it shut off — and back on. The drastic changes might’ve induced a migraine as it repeated several times until it stayed shining. Nobody had time to really react to what the hell happened, but the artificiality of the source had come into question. Rhaegar quickly inserted his explanation and motioned with his hands to return to the ship. “Don’t be alarmed. I believe we merely witnessed a natural phenomenon of this planet. It was likely nothing more than an illusion.” He reassured while walking up onto the ramp. “Still — it wouldn’t be wise to lollygag and stray too far. Remember, the point of our landing was to find a way home.”
