When Sess GM'd, he literally made it his job to kill off all players. Anything he could do to make their lives miserable, he did it. Think you're safe? *Cackle* >:3

I've been working on a post but life is kind of kicking my ass right now. Now that Christmas craziness overlapping with work craziness is over I'm house hunting/house cleaning/packing. Yay!

Rhae: That's not a fun GM style. > By {not fun} I mean, like. Imagine if your DnD GM decided it was his goal to kill off his players as quickly as possible.

Barb: Why are you house hunting again?

With the switch in jobs my commuting into Edmonton instead of living there is really stupid. Also I live in an absolute slum that I suspect is going to fall apart even more when the ground thaws in the spring.

Then I suppose it's a good thing you're leaving then!

@Nilly
It's fun, to a point. Personally, I think Sess balanced it out well, he just liked putting... obstacles in the way of a character's health. xD But yes, I know what I'm doing for Missle now, so. Huehuehue.

Nilly, post is up!

@KitN
Barb, I'm gonna need to you to edit your post - try to catch up, or unless you just want Pullo to pass back out into the drunken oblivion

My post is still fine as is.

Unfortunately for Missile Pullo is out cold, he was 'awake' for less than 5 seconds of that post and out again before I ended it.

Rhae: I'll post between now and Saturday night/Sunday early AM. I've got a lot of MTG to play and a seriously dumb shift at work coming up.

Um Rhae.

Missile was standing.

In the doorway.

._. i'm so confused

O_o...

Wut? But-I mean-I thought...

Well then. I kinda figured that the force of the fighting would have smashed them through the door and somewhere in the middle of the room. So uh.

...

I guess just go with it? Don't worry about editing it, just reposition yourself by the powers invested in the RP God...? xD

Alright, I think I've got everything I need. As always the personality and physical description arn't terribly in depth, but I think it will work.

Race: Human
Gender: Male

Height/Weight: 5,6 145 lb
Personality/Interests: Marn is a fairly kind person, and doesn't hesitate to help someone if they need it. That said, he is no pushover and can be mean and vicious if he has reason to dislike you. Marn also has an inherint distrust and disliking of authority.

Appearance:

Details: Marn is a fairly unassuming guy. He's somewhat more muscular then most people, he's got fairly angular features, and he's generally fairly chipper, but othewise he doesn't stand out much in a crowd.

Hair: only a few inches long, but fairly messy and unkept.
Hair color: light brown.
Skin color: white, tanned on his upper body, mostly his arms and head
Eye/Iris color: Green-brown
Notable Features: A straight scar across his left forarm, where an enemy slashed at him when they got through the companies picket lines. Being an unarmed healer, he was lucky to only take one wound before the guards killed him. Since then he has learned to use a dagger and carries it on him when he goes out.
Tatoos: A black spade on the back of his right hand, with a green circle in the center of it. It is a reminder of another healer and friend in his company that died in combat, and whose glove he inherrited.

History:
Marn's world is one generally considered 'high fantasy'. In his world, magic had recently been discovered. Certain people could use special stones to create wonderful and horrible powers. These powers vary depending on the stone. Some allow the user to control fire, water, air, earth, the force of gravity, summon creatures, and many other things. Both the stones and those with the power to use them are found in the same part of the world, a kingdom known as Darnatia. The greater number of mages gave the kingdom a great edge over neighboring kingdoms, and it began bullying them for land and wealth.  
Marn was born in this kingdom, the son of a herbalist in the poorer part of the capital. His father was a generous man and had a reputation as someone willing to help those desperately in need. He disaproved of the way the king had begun acting, treating both his subjects and the neighboring countries worse and worse.
Shortly after Marn turned eighteen, an allience of the countries surrounding declared war on Darnatia, and the king began drafting people. It wasn't long before they came through the poorer parts of town and Marn was amoungst those drafted. They tested him for magical ability and he had aptitude for healing magic and the elemental magic, and as such was trained as a healer. He was given one glove, left as he
Marn was put into a company of fellow 'volenteers' who he bonded with over their distain for their current prediciment. He became fast friends with another healer in the company, a former thief and gambler by the nickname of 'Ace'. He quickly began fighting and healing not for the king, or any forced servitude of him, but for the rest of his company.
The company took many losses over the next few years, and and casulties amongst the mages meant their equipment and stones were spread out between those who remained. Marn got the elemental stones, due to his skill with them.
After three years of fighting losing battles, the kingdom fell and the company dissolved, the few remaining members going their seperate ways. Marn returned to the capital, finding when he got there that his father had joined the city's militia to defend the city in the last days of the war and had died. He was devestated, but he returned to the herbalist shop he and his father owned and kept it going.
The governer who ruled the city under the power of the alliance quickly started a campaign to rid the world of any mages that survived the war, and Marn spent the next few years trying to keep his head down. He didn't stop using magic completely: someone would come into his shop with a problem medicine woudn't cure, or an opporinity to assist the rebellion would arise, but he kept out of the eye of the law.

Rhae, one question before I post.

How many teeth does this shapeshifter have? :3

Looks good man. I really like the stones idea! Feel free to post whenever.

Nilly wrote:Rhae, one question before I post.

Picture it like this. It basically has an outer row of large teeth, and then two or three rows of smaller teether (about dagger sized) inside of the "outer" jaw.

So yeah. It has thousands, but the ones Missle will have to worry about are the outer ones. And seeing that its a shapeshifter, the number grows with its size. xD

So we'll say around its around the 25-35 range right now?

Perfect number.

oh god it's an

ALASKAN BULL WORM!!!
please tell me someone gets this reference

Hope you find yourself near a cliff.

I'll probably post today or tomorrow, whenever I catch up in the IC.
And thanks, it was an idea I had bouncing around for a bit before I returned, so I figured now would be a good time to use it.

Nilly, have you managed to steer the fight away from Missile and Pullo's room entirely or just forgotten that Pullo already smashed out the window on his way in?

Don't worry, Barb, she's in the room across the hall from Pullo . Hurray for new windows!

This is true, yes. :p

Missile can't wait to tell Pullo all about the death and stuff! She's learned from him over the past few months how to tell some crazy stories. :p

Whelp, just managed to get locked in the basement of my dorm without the key to get back upstairs, so now seems like the perfect time to catch up on all those posts.

Who in the name of fuck is your service provider? Most people I know can't even get a Wi-Fi signal in our lunch room and some how you have internet locked in a basement.

A friend wound up still being awake, so I was only stuck for an hour and a half or so.

Well, Auburn has a really large wifi network, You can sometimes get wifi in the arboretum (a small forest at the edge of campus.) depending on where you are. Also the basements is supposed to be a study area, so There are routers down here.

edit:
So, funny story. I was writing the opening post for Marn, and I was just going to have a short bit about how he got to the universe, and then it got longer, and longer, and now it's about 1750 words or so... Whoops.

3H, I'm assuming you want me to put you where ever?

Yeah, figured wherever is most convienient to the plot, with or without the explpsion as you desire.
