RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

@MelonHead I'll take a look at Judgement. I need to do a revamp of Szayeis' abilities as it's not properly updated. I'll get back to you once I read Judgement. Hopefully I won't get distracted eheh....

Arena Chat Thread

Lol? I'm...yoshua171. I've participated in two tournaments, though that was awhile back. You may vaguely remember my characters Casana and Soria for their participation.

Not much else I'd say.

The Prophecy

Well, this was an unexpected turn of events :|

Ranked(Non Tourny) Alexis Vs. Casana: A Clash of Wills.

Casana, G. Lecor

---

Her weapon striking home, Casana smirked and continued to spin, before extending the chain and increasing its density even as she let the remaining chakram go, the widened one returning to normal. The chakram flew diagonally down to the ground and stuck into it somewhat. She pulled, having already anchored the chakram by altering its distribution, and as such began moving downwards quickly. She physicalized some of her energy as she released it, pushing off of it to reach the ground faster. As she got 4 meters above the ground she stiffed part of the chain so it acted like a pole. She fell a bit more, increasing her durability, even as the rest of the chain went taut and swung her, as a monkey on a vine from a jungle tree, towards Alexis. At the end of the swing, having taken her only 2 meters, her total distance from Alexis being 8 meters, she disabled the stiffness and pulled her weapon towards her. She held one hand out, with chain in it, before her and used her other hand to throw the second chakram backwards. The chain slid through her palm as one chakram acted as a counter balance, pulling the one she'd pulled towards her even faster. She swung the hand before her, twisting her body to maximize the momentum even as her feet touched the ground.

As she made contact with the ground once more the chakram was already, due to the swing, flying towards Alexis in a long range horizontal slash.

Nodding as he listened to the man, I'on's head eventually turned as the innkeeper mentioned the two figures in the room, the same two whom everyone was giving a wide berth. He didn't like this.

Turning around, the sturdy mage's eyes observed the approach of the two deo'iel with a look somewhere between tiredness, worry, and annoyance. Every time he extracted himself from one problematic situation, it seemed he was pulled straight into another one. This time it was through no fault of his own as he found himself recalling the corporal's actions before their entry. The turning head, something often done to survey a room, the subtle change in attitude. The penin almost gritted his teeth in annoyance, but thought better of it and forced himself to take a deep, quiet, breath and relax.

At least Ixion had decided the length of their stay. Forty rodlin, fifty if they wanted meals. He continued his deep quiet breaths at the thought. He barely knew the two, but was putting them up in a fairly nice inn for five days. They were suspects for a murder, they'd disrupted the peace. Then again, he'd been on scene as well, in fact, the only reason the guards likely hadn't put the lot of them down--or at least tried to--was because of his reputation. It was a nice perk of having lived in Zerul city for awhile and garnered a certain level of notoriety. He was a respected member of society here.

As the two arrived before them, the female before the male, I'on felt his senses pick up additional details about the two. Subtle energies that danced about and through them notified him, even before he saw their mirror-like eyes, of their heritage and further of their individual power. While the female seemed normal enough, her aura containing only subtle traces of infernal influence, the slower cloaked deo'iel was a different story. It was as if darkness pervaded the entirety of the space around the demonspawn. He couldn't sense anything truly mortal from the man, but his senses only stretched so far so he made no conclusions, an eyebrow raising slightly for a moment before lowering.

The woman spoke, swiftly followed by Ixion and I'on's eyes darted to the assassin for a moment before looking back to the woman, taking a step forwards, and revealing a congenial smile. Even as he did so he heard the long exhale of his other companion and glanced in his direction for but a fraction of a second, a barely noticeable movement of his eyes.

His hand lightly touched Ixion's own arm, a friendly gesture where one might not have been appropriate given their prior interactions, but he found it necessary. There was a firmness about the action. However, as if to contrast the firmness, the penin's voice, when he spoke was level, friendly even, but weathered—his exhaustion plain in its timbre, “I'm sure it won't be at all troublesome. Though, I must say we've had a long day so I'd at least hope to keep things brief, if that is at all possible.” He hoped his companions got the message in his actions. They couldn't afford any further trouble and he wasn't willing to deal with anymore either. While he felt somewhat responsible for the two strangers, if not only because of the involvement of the guardsman and the investigation, he was down to his last nerve and anything further was liable to rightly garner his ire.

He'd had quite enough. Hopefully the two deo'iel would pose no real problems.

Hopefully.

The Prophecy

Thank you both, @Shienvien, @Dark Jack. I figured they'd be able to detect a good deal, it's interesting that a mage of high skill could perhaps match a sniffer's abilities, very interesting actually. I'll work on my post today and get it up by the end of the day barring something terrible happens or I get writer's block (both unlikely events really).

I figure he'll detect the power of the two, particularly the more demonic of the pair, and pick out the details of the female via her eyes and other telltale signs such as the ones mentioned by Ixion...or maybe it was Morgan, via monologue in their post(s). I hadn't gotten through rereading the lot of them as I was working through each chronologically so I could write I'on's reactions and whatnot, then get to any response he might make vocally and/or through his actions.

It's funny because part of me is enjoying I'on, but thinks I should rewrite his CS to revitalize my interest in his character a bit more, another part of me wishes I could test out/play another character. It's mostly because I have a habit of playing anywhere between 3 and 6 characters in any given RP I'm in (drives me mad, but I enjoy it immensely at the same time). It's also because I tend to continually get an influx of interesting ideas for characters...and I follow the impulse to create and explore those characters more often than not.

Granted, if I could find a place that an NPC served a given purpose or would be ideal to introduce to enrich things, I'd likely jump at the chance to develop another character. A big part of my wanting to has a lot to do with the fact that the lore for this world is absolutely amazing (props Jack. Not sure if I've ever stated my thoughts on that out loud, but yeah...I guess I did now :P). Makes me want to play around with more ideas/concepts and possibilities in general.

If given the chance I'd spew any number of ideas for characters, or compile a bunch into one and play it without a second thought. Anywho, I suppose that will at least make me less...unhappy if I'on ever dies as it'll just mean I can devise a new character >:-3

Not sure how to end this post. So I'll just do it abruptly.

End.

The Prophecy

Apologies for the double post, but I have some questions.

So I know sniffers are capable of ordaining a fairly large amount of information from someone via their essence/magical energy, but I'm curious as to how much a skilled magus could ordain via their magical senses. I'm obviously asking due to my character being a skilled mage haha.

Would he, for example, be able to feel anything in regards to the power or nature of the two simply from the energies that dance around and through them? I figure that people have something of an aura and if a mage can detect the use of magic if their senses are keen (which I'on's are in their own right) can they detect anything else?

I'm mostly asking because I started writing my post and recalled the bit that you added, Dark Jack, which pertains to what Morgan is capable of detecting via his sniffer abilities and I thought to myself "Would I'on sense anything about them from their magical energy? Would they be exerting tiny amounts of it unconsciously? Would he be able to detect these amounts due not only to his general skill and sensitivity, but due to his knowledge of necromancy and the more fine-tuned manipulation of energies? Would he be able to sense anything at all with said abilities, or do those essentially possess no bearing on things unless weaved into what I would imagine an excessively complex spell that might be able to glean such details?"

Things along those veins came to mind so I thought, rather than just assume and write it into my post, I'd ask so my knowledge of the subject could be expanded and my post enriched by the information--and if not enriched, corrected before I broadcast the actual mistake by submitting the post to the thread haha.

Get back to me when you can. I wish I had thought about this days ago before everyone had already been waiting for my post for awhile (sorry about that by the way), but oh well, the mind is fickle at times...or at least mine is.

I'm rambling.

Anywho, I'd appreciate some answers/elaboration on the topic when either Dark Jack or Shienvien get the chance. I imagine both of you have some knowledge on the topic.

In the meantime I'll save what I had written for my post till I have a proper understanding of the aforementioned lore.

I'll edit and add to it as needed once my understanding is sufficient, in my opinion, and then post it up.

Sorry for the further delay Jack, Rhae...Merc. I assure you it was not intentional ^^;
