I haven't met a person who doesn't like Wes. Wes is awesome.
If I am gonna stay, I gotta ask. From what I read, the Harbinger lost his lance in the rubble. I could see Wes yoinking it and stabbing the shit out of the knight. Could he also look like either of these? (Bonus to anyone who knows who they are.)
I'm afraid that the lance is inhumanly large, and heavy. If Wes is just a normal man, which I'm assuming he is, he would hardly be able to lift the lance with two hands; much less maneuver it in any reasonable way. But I suppose Wes can figure that out by himself if he's willing to run past the soon to be rampaging Harbinger and descend into the freshly built skylight. I'd be happy to collaborate on that or any other post you'd like to write, assuming you'd like my help. Of course, this is contingent on you staying. I can't devote any time to it if I don't get a straight forward answer.
As to your question about the appearance of the Harbinger: the first image isn't showing up, but the second seems accurate enough. Minus the cyclops shades, and lacy parts.
And then everything decided to conspire against me. Sorry if I've been gone, lads and lasses. The Internet Gods decided to smite my house, first by breaking the connection, and then by breaking the router box. Suffice to say, its been an incredibly dreadful and boring five days. I'd ask what I've missed, but it doesn't really feel like I belong here anymore. I wanted to throw up a post when the Harbinger(or whatever he's called) showed up, but things just didn't really twerk out. Shrug, does anyone know what I mean? You miss too much, you don't get a good introduction in, etc
I don't think that time-frame has passed yet. We have yet to move beyond the Harbinger by any means actually. If you truly wanted to remain in the RP, I'm fairly certain you could do so. However, I also don't like to put myself in the position of begging people to stay. So all I can really say is that you follow your instinct, do what you think is right. Not only for yourself but everyone else as well.
I'm sure you'll make the right choice, but I'm afraid it's one I'll have to rush you on. I'll need a definite answer as to your interest and availability by Friday at the latest.
Well done, @MacabreFox! Artemisia certainly has a mouth on her, doesn't she?
Let's hope it helps! *Fingers crossed*
Oh, one small thing: Both Leonard and Alistair are from the British isles. The only American is Epunamun, who is actually a former Incan warrior.
Yes I hope we haven't, I like how diverse our cast is! Before the site went down I wrote mainly in casual/high casual. And being here is similar to writers paradise.
I sent out a few pings over PM to our more absent cast mates. Let's hope they respond. It'd be a shame to loose people at this early leg of the journey.
I actually speak Spanish, but only to some degree, past an present tense but no future tense. I've got an idea on how Portuguese and Italian words should sound, but I use a translator for those.
In other words, I'm home from vacation now, so I have all the time in the world to write. Expect a post from me today.
Thanks, I always get worried when using the words as I can only find current translations so I have no idea if there were any significant language changes from the 17th Century to now. I think it will be fine as long as I just limit them to curses or greetings.
Since no one else addressed it, I will. Here's an edited version of your post, @Rare, with some questions and comments from me.

Javier then decided to sit down on the ground next to the written words on the wall. He had been walking for almost an hour or more, shouldn't he deserve a break? Looking around, he could see the other members of the team spreading out. Christina was walking towards the flare, that he threw earlier, and Red was just being herself as always. Even though they hadn't met before all of this, he knew that Red and anyone else weren't getting along right away; but once they get to know each other—or get used to being with them—, they (being Javier and the others) might become good friends.
Suddenly, a light appeared on the subway train and Javier quickly stood up from the ground. He grabbed his MP9 pistol and quickly aimed it at the train. Until, a soldier—another female—appeared from the train and walked into the group. Javier raised one eyebrow at the woman as she said 'howdy' and then asked for some gum. Red was confused at the sight of the soldier from the train and then just walked away from the train to the tents. Awkward silence followed after the introduction, Javier walked up to her and said with a confused tone, "Hello.".
Suddenly, Javier was cut off by Warren as he gave her some gum, which she accepted and put it inside one of the pockets on her. Javier sighed resignedly at the present of Warren, such he was a great fighter and technician; but, he seemed to enjoy humor more than work (based off on the hour spent getting to know him and the others). Warren called out her name and said that the girl was going to join the team. Javier must of forgot to mention the new girl on the team; thankfully, Warren just told them anyways. But then, he does something that grinds Javier's teeth. He just calls in the command and tells him that we had her—without his approval. You don't do things without the leader's approval and that was a big issue for Javier.
Javier started to sigh again as he was getting even more worried (and still upset because of Warren) since they are standing in a dark tunnel with barely any light source. All of this tension was just getting to him, he needs to see the light again and just rest; but, they have to go to the police station and make a stop at the UN building for equipment pickup from the new girl. She can make any excuse up, they are going no matter what. Tracie didn't have the standard gear—even if she was from Ghost Recon. They didn't have access to the current equipment that the Division has. Plus, they have to check into the HQ because of standard protocol of The Division. Every agent has to check into the HQ database by signing in at the HQ—not by radio them that they are in the city.
{I wonder why Tracie wouldn't have Division equipment if she'd just led a Division squad days before.}
He was going to say something to the new girl; however, she mentioned about the current state of the city. People have either joined gangs or live like rats, streets cleared of life form. Javier became even more worried about being the leader and scared of the gangs, because he just didn't want to kill people trying to survive—unless they fire back first. After she was answering Warren's question, they go to the dead body and check it out. Now, it was finally time for Javier to talk for the first time.
"Alright, listen up." he said loudly enough that his voice should of got the group's awareness towards him, "Now that we got our the new girl, we need to go to the police station. Then, we will check in at the United Nations building and we will debrief after signing into HQ. We can't do it over the radio because of standard protocol that The Division has." He then looked towards Warren and said loudly as if they were talking, "Plus, we were supposed to be in radio silence. Don't use it, unless it's an emergency. Got it?".
Jaiver didn't hate Warren, he just dislikes for what he did and hope that he never does it again. Now that was over, he began to walk towards the new girl and said to her with a serious tone, "Welcome to the team, Armond. When we are at the UN building, we will get you the right equipment and make sure that it's updated and usable. The CIA didn't even know about The Division and the updates to the equipment until the President signed it and The Division was already established. You don't get to have a say about it, because we are going with or without your word.".
{So you're saying that the Central Intelligence Agency, the organization who's job it is to collect information, was blind to the POTUS' actions during a crisis? Unlikely.}
He realized that his outburst was harsh and said to her, "Sorry about that outburst, just being in this dark tunnel for about an hour is driving me a bit crazy. Once we get back to the surface, I should get back to normal.
I'm afraid that this post doesn't meet the expectations of the first rule you set out for us. Above all else I think a GM ought to meet his/her own expectations of standards. It's not good enough just to have the idea, you need to fulfill on the idea, as well.
