I still have interest so I will be making a character within the next few days. Work has been constant since my finals ended for school last week.

Lomen
"If I may, I would also appreciate a pelt from the other wolf. I already have a rabbit left from my previous hunt, so Zectoll may have all the meat. If either of you have any bones you will not use, please give them to me."
Lomen had been eating a bit and accidentally ate a bit of bone, finding it fairly pleasing to eat with a crunch.
"Absolutely. I would be happy to skin the wolf for you once we get back to camp. But as for the bones I will give you all the ones I do not eat. These seem to have a nice crunch."
Taking the paw bones, Lomen snacked on them on the way back to the cave.
Lomen made sure to handle the remains with care and gave ample space for the bodies to have enough room for themselves. While doing so he milled over what he had told Kishi and decided he overstepped a line in his comment. He had no idea what it was like to actually see your brother and sister be ripped to shreds helplessly and only being able to run. Lomen understood the want to kill for revenge, but thinking more on it he realized the constant guilt that would possibly haunt him.
"I... I must decline. I knew their names, and that was it. If I gave a commemoration, it would be like spitting in their faces. I refuse to use their deaths as an excuse to get attention..."
"Thank you for worrying about me, Grandfather. You have no idea how much it means to me. And also... Please watch over their bodies. I need to be the one to bury them. If Zectoll and Lomen are done hunting, I will begin the burial. If not, I must protect them so they do not share the same fate."
Kishi's last comment solidified his thoughts on the matter and decided that it would be best to apologize and stood up to walk over.
Maybe it is just a coincidence, just a random dream. But I feel that somehow in death their strength flowed into me, and lifted whatever curse it was that afflicted me.I will do whatever I can to help in the burial ceremony. Hunting can wait, I would rather see this task to its end here and now
Lomen stopped after the first comment and gritted his teeth with a loathsome glare. He felt like this was a blatant disrespect towards the dead and towards Kishi since it had been so scarring of an experience. It was enough to make him livid, but he took a breath to calm down and turned to see Zectoll's expression, seeming to understand how serious of an assumption that could be. Yet again Zectoll had cleared any doubts Lomen had and he felt himself calm down with a small toothless smile.
"I agree with Zectoll. It is best to give the dead a proper burial. And Kishi, I apologize for my comment earlier. I have no idea what the experience must have been for you so I am sorry if I have offended you in any way. Grandpa, please show us the ceremony so we can give them a proper burial."
Afterwards Lomen mumbled a prayer to the god of Death and the god of Origins to take the fallen goblin's souls to a more peaceful place and guide them in their next state of existence. Afterwards he addressed Kishi and Zectoll.
"After the ceremony if you two would like I can show you how to skin the wolf."
It would be a good skill for them to have and he can't be the only one skinning their prey. Before he would skin it though, he would thank the God's of Origin and Beasts for the fur from the wolf's coat.
Lomen
They won. It was as simple as that and Lomen was blissfully happy that the battle went as smoothly as it did. He had his worries about Zectoll but the small goblin pulled through in the fight. Although it was strange to acquire skills. He hadn't put much thought into it, but as two skills were effected, it was odd to him that they seemed to pop up in words in front of his face. It made him wonder if the others were having the same peculiarity. Either way, Lomen was happy to have gained another skill while upgrading a different one.
"You two were excellent in that fight. I see that you didn't get that horn out of pure luck, Lomen. And Zectoll, you were able to move for less than a day and you already caught up to me. How do you think that will make me feel! Just kidding."
Lomen chuckled a bit and held up his horn. "Seems so. Although you will have to teach me that battle-cry. It was the perfect mark for me to charge in."
"You probably realized it by now, but I used you two to get to Isurta and Xaal. I'm sorry I risked your lives. If you could, however, I would be indebted to you if you could help me carry them back."
"Just don't make it a habit. Although it did work out in our favor this time since the wolves were unaware of us and one was killed immediately. Had they caught wind of us and attacked first, we would have been dead. Although that has past. I am willing to carry the fallen as to at least have their bones to bury."
Lomen then went about gathering all the loose bones that had not been gathered until they were all in a small pile. He then took the rabbit pelt off his back and used it as a bag for the remains, placing it near the wolf carcass.
"We should probably eat one of the wolves now. We will not be able to carry all of the bodies back, so getting rid of one of them would be good."
"Agreed. If you both do not mind, I would like to keep the pelt of one of the wolves. It looks large enough to make into a cover for my body while not being too heavy."
Lomen then knelt at the carcass, offering a prayer to the gods of Beasts, Life, Death, and the Wind for the meal and then savagely devoured the heart and brain of the wolf. It had been easier to reach the heart and brain thanks to Zectoll removing a few pieces of the wolf already. After eating the main dish in his mind, Lomen began skinning the wolf in order to expose more meat.
"If we are to eat, we must do it fast. I will skin the wolf to show more meat so Kishi and Zectoll, please eat fast. The smell of blood may attract other beasts and I want to stay alive. On a different note, Zectoll, good job in staying in position behind me. I had my worries since it was your first hunt, but those have been cast aside now. Congratulations, you live. And Kishi, we have avenged your fallen comrades and now are stronger for it. I am impressed by your bravery to start the strike and I look forwards to the next hunt. Although I hope you do not learn to hate the wolves for what they have done. All they do is kill to eat, grow, and survive. Much like us at the current moment and only the strong survive it seems. "
Lomen hoped that this would partially sooth the possible hatred Kishi had for the wolves. Yes they did slaughter goblins that were close to him, but they were doing the same as the goblins, surviving as all natural things do. Either way Lomen concentrated on steadily skinning the wolf, enjoying the feeling of the air on his skin.
"Also stay alert in case there are other monsters. Your battle cry Kishi may have been effective, but it may also attract danger.
"I do enjoy a nice breeze."

Another question:
What is the post pacing? Is it wait for at least 2 other people to post or is it post when you have the chance?

Kevin:
- UNF
- Terra
Kevin was enjoying the ride on Terra. The giant ship made for a nice ride and minimal turbulence due to it's massive size and velocity. He would have to make it a point to find the mechanics and get his hands on the schematics and see how he could integrate it into Tinkered Toy. Although the occasional bumps made it hard to work on Tinkered Toy as Kevin went about his third systems check and found like his last check that all systems were fully operational and his valkanai was in the best condition for what it was. With the maintenance done, he hopped down from the machine and went about finding the various rooms of the ship.
In his time of touring, he spotted a few key locations like the bridge, cafeteria, his room, briefing room, a few mechanic ports to service the ship faster, and the engine room. Along the way he would ask people where the engineers were and upon meeting any would pick their brains for some time with questions about valkanai efficiency, possible enhancements, and also the Terra's schematics and operations. To him it was important to know how the ship worked in case he would be needed to aid with large scale repairs using Tinkered Toy.
Upon reaching the engine room, he milled over the area. Firstly he attempted to get into the room so he could get closer to the engine and take notes about how it operated and how to plausibly apply it into a more compact version in order for him to make more engine types for valkanais. While jotting down ideas, he wound up back into the hangar and looked at all the valks stationed in the Terra.
While looking at each of them Kevin feverishly wrote down ideas for new technologies he could create to add onto the machines. Some seemed more fit for close range combat while others were for long range battles. The close ranged valks would be perfect for an extra propulsion system in order to let the machines close large gaps rapidly and if used correctly could greatly enhance the speed and power of the valks attacks. On the other side he could see instead of propulsion, a more shock absorbent machine with larger shock support to reduce impact from larger rounds. Would need to add a flame resistant coating along with better temperature control since the large suits would be susceptible to overheating and flames. He then realized that a third option was available with stealthier recon valks that would have to have special materials on the outside to mask its signal. With that comes a problem with having to find a way to either get around the coating in order to send and receive signals or just have to leave it to the pilot to make it to a safe spot in order to relay information.
There were a lot of options open for the close combat but Kevin decided to jot down a few options for longer range valks. Namely for snipers it is important to make an outer coating of non-reflective material with possible camouflaging capabilities in order to set up a sniping position. Then the same problem arises with the stealth suits where a means of being hidden from the enemy but to stay in contact with allies at the same time is crucial. Something to mill over later with more materials. Moving on was the heavier artillery which would need massive shocks in order to launch heavier rounds. That and a means of carrying more ammo than normal as to raise their efficiency when on the battlefield and away from any ammo. Lastly for them would be to have an optimal means of launching the payload with minimal risk of a counter-attack by any snipers or close range combatants.
Kevin then thought about weapon designs for both sides and any kind of technologies that could turn the tide in a battle, such as ways to minimize damage done by dampeners and hazards such as an electro magnetic pulse. He feverishly jotted down ideas while pasing by each of the mechs and a rather large tank. Kevin made a note to pick the designer's brain and see if anything out of the ordinary was inside. Being from a junkyard a tank was not an unusual sight, but if it was still operational it must be different from the usual scrapped iron. With that in mind Kevin wandered back to Tinkered Toy and began jotting down more ideas for upgrades and new technologies, keeping in mind how to build Tinkered Toy as well rounded as possible as to be useful in as many situations as possible.

Lomen
One down and one left to go. It was a bit of a dissapointment that both did not die in the first fell swoop but nevertheless the maneuver had worked. Now all that was left was the single wolf. The odds were in their favor but Lomen was still diligently waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike.
Lomen was glad that they had avoided the worse situation as Kishi was left unscathed by the drop. While waiting he saw Kishi drawing attention away from himself and Zectoll. During this time Lomen breathed in and out quickly to raise his awareness and sharpen his responses. After he could feel his heart beating, he drew a large breath, knowing it was now or never.
With Kishi's screech Lomen dashed forward, holding the horn in front of the shield. He aimed to pierce the wolfs side with the medium horn and then would use the heavy strike skill to drive the horn further into the wolfs body. As he did so, just as impact would happen, Lomen would roar with all his might in order to further disorient the wolf in case his blow did not kill. This would allow for a perfect set up for Zectoll or Kishi to do the finishing blow.
To raise to become strong like bull. Remember to eat well and gather berries for juicy flavor.

Just to make sure, it is ok for characters to start at anywhere in the ship or just at one specific spot? I only ask because I feel like it is important to know if we need to specifically be anywhere on the ship as a start.

Lomen
Lomen followed Kishi carefully, keeping track of him when they got to the wolves in case he needed to jump in to fight. Fortunately that was not the case. He took a moment to look over the fallen goblins and took a second to mill over the fact that the wolves who killed them were doing the same as they were, huntin to survive and grow. With this in mind Lomen sent a small prayer to the gods of beasts, death, and life for allowing him to see this early in life.
When Kishi moved to the brush, Lomen silently followed and listened intently. Kishi's plan was good but Lomen still wanted to expand upon it for himself and Zectoll.
"It sounds like a good plan Kishi, but a few points first. One, we make sure to attempt the tree attack from downwind. Second, I and Zectoll will attack to cut off the tracked route. And don't worry about the fall, the wolves look like a comfy landing.
Lomen smiled showing his toothy grin that immediately went away as he realized that their was a possibility of Kishi missing his drop.
"Ok. Lastly, Zectoll, stay behind me and be ready to back up Kishi in the case he misses the drop. Where I don't think that will be the case, I am the only one with any protection and Kishi may be left open if he misses the drop. I should be able to fend off one of the wolves long enough for you two to kill the other. Ready? If so lets get into position and above all. Stay alive."
Lomen took a few hairs off of the rabbit pelt and let them fall to the ground, that would show where the wind was blowing and would establish where downwind actually is. He prepped his shield and decided the medium horn would be better for this hunt, since wounding the legs and neck would be critical to victory. Although in case of emergency, he still had the stick.
Welcome to the site! I look forward to encountering your characters in the role plays and stories that will come to pass on the site.
