The Spirits Within: Oakridge Chronicles

@Ozerath

Can do! I'll keep it in mind when I'm writing my post, which should be coming either today or tomorrow.

Places where Jack will publicly appear in case y'all wanted to mention him will have been at a rowdy warehouse party near campus posing as a send off that happened the night before. This morning he would have slipped off toward the station for the Eidolon mission and would be there by the Selene gets there.

In keeping with the tense atmosphere, warehouse party place as a escape, not necessarily enjoyable. Of course I haven't posted yet, and if y'all don't like the idea I won't include it.

Jax gave her a side glance as he muched silently on the tough meat. He was taken a little by surprise, but the thanks wasn't wholly unwelcome.

He bade her goodnight, saying nothing else for the night as he settled himself in for a long night watch.

In truth, he had trouble sleeping as of late and would likely stay awake with his thoughts, tumultuous as they were. Long gone battles raged in his mind, silent assailants plagued his senses, dead friends rose from his memories to greet him.

Eventually however, he did feel the pull of much needed sleep after several tense hours, much longer than what Kae had suggested. It didn't matter to him, she would need the sleep anyway.

He strode his way to her tent and gently shook the Kelpie awake. He gave her a short report of the nothing that happened, suggested she took watch anyway, then immediately knocked out.

Vox and I were talking about character relationships and I got to thinking that Oakridge's foremost gymrats aka Aesthetic Squad should probably be fairly well acquainted/friendly. Thoughts?

Also anybody else who's char spends a lot of time working out.

@Ozerath

I like imagining Jack as possibly the weakest and least gymbro of the pack, but is the only one working as a professional trainer.

Jax gave an acknowledging grunt as he portioned out their rations: dried fruits and jerky. He was slightly disappointed that the pair hadn't caught any game today, but he supposed their nerves never fully went down after the ambush with the bandits. At least, Jax's nerves hadn't, which made him frown as he knew he had faced more harrowing odds before. Maybe it was just the all too familiar feeling of having been beaten all over again.

"I'm following you Kae, doesn't matter much to me where we go. These forest dwellers of yours though, are you sure they'll help? People haven't been none too friendly to Orrans as of late."

Added a trivia section

Also, I would also like to place Jack for the Kinabalu Eidolon mission.

Jax looked around the site and thought it would be good enough. There was enough space to pitch a tent and have a small campfire that would hopefully be masked by the surrounding underbrush. He had also been collecting dead wood for a while which had hopefully dried out so that there would be limited smoke.

"Let's camp here for the night, start setting up while we can still see," he replied. He set down his pack and started clearing away the sticks and pebbles that littered the ground, clearing it up for their tent and adding more wood for the fire.

Updated Jack's Warfare section, as well as fixed a minor part of his backstory so that five year olds wouldn't be running around hospitals shoving magic hands in people's faces.

I will go through everyone's suggested spirits, so you don't have to get it right or perfect on the first try. Just go crazy, and then I'll balance things for you.

@Prisk

Basically go crazy until Prisk says no
