How have we never wrote anything together? xD

Sure. I have an assortment of cakes and pies as well.

I Wanna Hear Your Opinions On The Different Wrting Levels/Forums.

*hesitantly wiggles in to leave my two cents*

For me personally (and I can only speak from the PoV of the three 'main' categories, I've never ventured into Arena, Nation or the new Persistent/open world topics as I find the concepts behind them too confusing for me to grasp. But hey, if you enjoy them, more power to ya!) That's my only bugbear with Arena/Nation/Blah blah. So. Many. Confusing. Rules. Maybe if it was a little easier to understand (a simple guide for a simpleton like me RIP) all the rules I would've considered giving it a bash but as it is, those subforums and their unfamiliar rules and guidelines terrify me and I'm more likely to scream and run for the hills than ever be brave enough to give it a go at this stage

I know the post length parameters are meant to be a guide, but I myself find them rather...arbitrary, to say the least. I could care less how much my potential partners write per post, I'm more concerned with the content of said posts, and my own focus when I make my posts is to adhere to that same rule. Character development and world building is FAR more important to me than how many words are written.

For all intents and purposes I consider myself to be an Advanced roleplayer. I've been role-playing on Internet forums for 12 years now, I'm a wrinkly old fart who's honestly got a bit of an addiction to creating characters and worlds and then destroying their lives while I cackle evilly and drink tea (and then cry about how mean it was later!), I can't engage an RP where there isn't some sort of in depth world/Lore building, because how can characters exist without their accompanying Lore? (again, this is my opinion, if yours differs, good for you! I'd be interested to hear it in a civilised conversation)

Does that mean I ALWAYS crank out 2k+ word posts? Most certainly not! I've had to drop partners before, who despite me nicely asking them to further elaborate and give me something to work with, continued to give me posts which were 3-4 paragraphs of their character internally monologuing about themselves while glaring at a rock (because of course, all my characters are mind readers *slow clap*? FYI my character was not and it just ended up being a disaster that I had to quit lol)
I've also had several long-term RP partners who I have happily received 1-2 sentence posts from at times, and I've been gladly able to respond. Fluffing a post up on occasion is fine, but if someone else can give me more to work with in 2 sentences than the metaphorical you can in 4 paragraphs, I'm going to raise my eyebrows at you and wonder if you understand the difference between writing a novel/fanfic and role-playing ¬¬

Some of my favourite/best RPs come from simply enjoying the story we create together rather than specifically worrying about word count.

I was going to write something else but now I've lost my train of thought.

TL;DR : Basing your judgement of an RP/writer SOLELY on how many words they can write per post is dumb. I find word count restrictions even more ridiculous. Vive la character development. Can I have a cookie on my way out?

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

It's very pretty! I would've liked to have gone back to the Portmeirion village that I visited back in 2011 but alas we didn't have time Dx maybe another year haha

Awww, now all I can imagine from reading that thought about getting a REAL dog is Yerbol bringing a puppy home one day, and Ari being totally confused about what to do with this fluffy potato with legs that's drooling on her pillow haha XD

A suggestion there on precisely how they could go about finding/tracking Revan once they land, but as always feel free to elaborate/switch it up! Wanted to leave an opening for your Elders to say their peace too before they approach Oddessen (:

As the Champions and their learners continued to pore over the projection in front of them and bouncing potential ideas back and forth, Neta made a reappearance and began to give them the rundown on the information that they had gathered. The Champion narrowed her eyes at the comment regarding their unavailability the night before, muttering: “Just tell us what you found out, Neta.”
Mercifully, the spec ops pilot did just that, though Aria had to admit that the intel they were presented with was no more comforting than their own theories had been. She felt her jaw slacken in disbelief as she coughed out, in unison with her partner:
“S-Six MONTHS?” Slipspace could only get them so far, she thought to herself. But, as always, what choice did they have?
Her momentary annoyance at their predicament was curbed by the presence of a familiar Knight who had been sorely missed among the Qyaari since her husband’s passing.
“Kira!” the Champion broke into a welcoming grin despite everything. “It's good to have you back.”

“If only it were under better circumstances, eh?” Kira nodded to Neta as the pilot headed back towards the cockpit. “Let's get you patched in and the Elders can fill you in on everything.”
“Into the unknown might as well be the tagline for the Qyaari Champion job description at this point.” Aria snorted, flashing Ethan a wryly sympathetic grin. We'll get through this, somehow. Everyone is counting on us.

Several minutes later, the Qyaari crowded around the projections of the Council of Elders, as they received the full rundown of the information they had managed to gather about their destination. Although, that was rather optimistic, the Council were quick to reiterate that they knew nothing of the planet for certain, only yet more theories as to what they may find when they touched down.

Ailel crossed her arms as she surveyed the five in front of them, her blue eyes sparkling with worry.
“We have reason to believe that there may be a contingent, or perhaps more than one, of these ‘Revanites’ camped out on this planet. Radical Force users who were drawn in by Revan’s teachings, after he saved the Jedi, I'm sure you're all aware that Revan was not quite as dedicated to the original Code as some others. He amassed quite a following among both Orders who subscribed to the idea of neither Light nor Dark. Though, Cheriss and Malu would be able to tell you more, since most of the Revanites migrated to the jungles of Dromund Kaas for a time.” she finished, looking at the two former Sith in question.

The Dathomirian nodded severely, tenting her fingers together in the classic “I'm really unhappy about this” Cheriss pose, clearing her throat to compose herself before she began:
“As you may or may not be aware, the Revanites were known to the Dark Council throughout their time on Dromund Kaas, though they were naught but a pragmatic nuisance at best. Roan and I previously had managed to infiltrate their ranks where we were able to locate what he believed had been Revan’s original mask. We returned it to its rightful place in the museum in Kaas City, of course, but there is one issue: just before Bracknell and Soto came to power five years ago, the mask was stolen.”
“At the time, of course, we assumed that Bracknell had taken it. The Revanites that were left on Dromund Kaas were likely where he amassed the majority of his Sith followers, after all.” Malu chipped in. “But when we defeated Bracknell on Zinuthra, we could find no evidence that it had ever come into his possession, nor that Bracknell had any idea who DID have it.”
“So another Revanite must have taken it.” Kytra muttered, perching her chin on her palm thoughtfully.

“So we believe.” Cheriss confirmed. “But the culprit left no trace of their destination, beyond that they had gone into Wild Space and never returned. It’s highly possible that this Oddessen planet could be the Revanites’ new base of operations, we would advise you to be cautious.” her mouth quirked upwards into a wry smirk. “But I'm sure Kira has told you that enough times already.”
“There's no GUARANTEE that this person landed up on Oddessen.” Kira admitted as she gave each Champion a sidelong glance. “But it’s a possibility.”

Aria had remained quiet throughout the duration of the exchange, the expression on her face indicating her silence had been due to her being deep in thought.
“If that mask really IS Revan’s, and we were to track it down, could we use it to find him, if he's still out there to BE found?” she looked between the Elders curiously. “Artefacts sometimes hold onto the Force signatures of their bearers, right?”
“POTENTIALLY, yes.” Cheriss confirmed after some hesitation. “But I would recommend that your first course of action once you land would be to locate some form of communications array, or make one, to keep in contact with us so you can report your findings.”

Or so that you know we aren't dead. Aria thought wryly to herself, as Cheriss turned to the other Elders and asked:
“Anything that I've missed, Malu? Matthew?”

Oh dear ahaha poor Kira! XD

It was good, thank you! Aside from almost melting ahaha, we went down to Wales for a day or so, so not super far (just one country over really XD) but it was still great!

Came out a bit shorter, but wanted to give you a chance to slot Neta and/or Kira in (dunno how you planned for Kira to arrive, so the voice at the end could be either of them XD) before they approach Oddessen :')
