Still holding the feminine body in his arms, Vixion walked to his front door and with extreme difficulty tried to unlock said door. "And we're home. I better put her on the couch.. So she doesn't think I tried anything." He chuckled and turned to the dog. "Tuck, go lay down, I can take care of myself." He said calmly, to reassure the mutt's obvious hostility towards the unconscious woman. 'I hope...' Vixion added in his mind after setting her on the vinyl furniture. He rose to his feet and ran to the bathroom to get the necessary bandages for this particular wound. "Hmm, I'm going to need ace wrap, asprin, ice packs and the pillows are already on the couch." He muttered the list to himself as he reached for the bottle of asprin.

 

Tuck emerged from the bedroom and stared at Nighleena's right eye, "She's marked... that can only mean one thing, his Majesty kicked the bucket or someone did it for him." The dog whispered to himself, his voice rich with extreme pleasure.

"Tuck! Get away from her!" Vixion snapped.

(Meanwhile)

Leading the blindfolded Akari under a majestic canopy of trees Kyla soothes the skidish girl in a reassuring tone. "There is no need to fret child. This is but a test to see if you can manage to see without your eyes." The two stop under a giant ring of trees and sit down. "Now, my child, you have but three minutes to find the egg that calls to your soul within the canopy above. Removing your blindfold will result in your failure."

Listening carefully to the directions for the test Akari freed herself from any thoughts entering her mind. "I will not fail you nor myself." She said in a relaxed sigh and leapt up the tree that she was drawn to. She stood on a branch and let the noises of the forest diminish. Akari's steps were balanced as she moved closer to the gravitational spot. Suddenly she saw the egg through the darkness of the blindfold. "There you are..." She whispered picking the egg up gently. Akari jumped down with careful precision and landed without a sound.

Kyla smiled satisfied with the results of the test. She stood up with a graceful ease and made her way to the proud girl. "Well, that was impressive, faster than myself if I may be honest." She took the blindfold off to reveal the rosered egg in Akari's hands. "And it looks like you've been chosen by a descendant of the Heartflux, a rather powerful breed capable of healing and manipulating the the elements in all of there incarnations. If your bond grows to be a strong one, this Heartflux will even be able to conjure the basic elements to heed its will if the situation were to arise."

 

After a momentary pause, Kyla continued, "There are still two more tests and then the Right of Passage ritual, which will be performed in front of the council of the Circle of the El-kin. Your next test will be at daybreak tomorrow. Now run along and rest, and keep the egg safe." She patted Akari's head softly and sent her on her way.

(Transition)

 

Placing the equipment on the floor Vixion took a pillow from one end of the couch and gently slipped it under her swollen ankle. He cautiously removed her boots and began to look at her ankle. "She sure did a number on her ankle." He muttered to himself as he wrapped the extremity in the ACE wrap. Vixion, pleased by his wrapping ability, placed the gel ice pack under the ankle that was back on the pillow. He got up, walked over to the sink and got a glass of water for the woman to take her asprin with. Setting the glass on the coffee table, Vixion sat down in the recliner, turned on the television and began to channel surf.

It almost sounded like a television playing the background, but how was that possible? She wasn't even near a town, she was lying in wait on the cavern ledge. Her memories flooded back to in a second when a sharp pain shot up her leg. Nighleena's momentary lapse of time was jolted back to the present when she opened her eyes to find that she had been taken to some stranger's home. The crippled ninja tilted her head to reveal her captor, who turned out to be that pig-head, Vixion. That is when she noticed the pills, most likely a sort of painkiller, and the glass of water on the side table next to the arm of the couch. Checking her ankle Nighleena also discovered that the person she had done nothing but torment had turned around and tried to mend his assailant.

Her mind tried to wrap itself around the fool's logic and failed to comprehend why he would do such a thing. Hoping he wouldn't turn away from the television Nighleena took the medication and swallowed the water in seconds. She then pretended to sleep.

AS Kemios continues wandering lost in the forest, he happens upon a swamp. However, as he trudges through what he thinks is mud, he soon finds that everything in the swamp is dead, except himself. Muttering something about curses, he continues trudging through the swamp in hopes of finding something - or maybe even someone...

Um... Vixion... this feels like a two-sided conversation between you and Iey more than anything else. The rest of us aren't really doing anything, because we don't know what to do. This is generally a goal-oriented group, and when you just set us free to stumble around with no knowledge of what should be happening and what is. You had a good idea, but it could do with some improvement. Either go more in-depth and provide a better explanation, or give us a definitive setting where we can make our own story.

Yeah, we kind of need to have some knowledge of the setting. I'm sure you two have talked about it in real life, but we're kind of in the dark, and you two don't seem to be actively attempting to involve us.

 

It sort of feels like we're all minor characters, is all. I'm sure it wont take much to fix it.

I barely even manage to follow the others as it moves too fast and I almost never know what's going on.

I've gotten that feeling too with how its been rolling at the moment. I'll try to provide a basic summary, but I'll need permission to have 4-5 posts set in a row (Damn ps3) I might be able to widdle it down to 2-3 pages if I just give the bare bones. I apologise for the unintentional shun, as I'm used to a 1 on 1 RP via real life notebooks lol. I'll have to discuss a solid story in a more outline-like manner after going over some details with Vixion. Sorry bout that, I digress.

Yeah, as I said, wont take too much to fix it.

I'll give a very short and basic outline and see how it turns out.

 

I. The Overseer

A. Demonic oracle trying to weed his way into kingship through deceit, further intentions unknown.

1. I made the mistake of not telling you key facts thinking you might try to use preknown knowledge to your characters' benefits. Seems the first three letters of assume apply to me at the moment.

B. The Overseer has what is called his own personal guard, marked with the moon tattoo mentioned earlier.

C. He doesn't die till the end, so no preemptive strikes until the story calls for it. Of course you can use a few posts to lead your character(s) to attack him, just please no OP attacks that the Overseer can't 'block'

1. He's the big bad guy, he's allowed to royally kick your ass if you fight him.

 

II. Plot/Characters

A. Dragons

1. They play a major roll in the story (Yeah its kinda cliche') The different types are defined by color. Ideas will be shot around in a bit.

Well, none of that messes with the mini-storyline I had plotted out within the swamp, so I'm fine with it.

B. Characters controlled by other people cannot kill each other unless concent is given first.

1. This does not apply to the Overseer, whom if you attack pre-emptively without leaving yourself an escape might kill you, chances are low though. I'll have some random situation occur to save you or something of the sort.

C. Groups such as secret societies and rebellious parties exist.

1. This will be discussed before continuing the RP.

 

That is the bare bone structure as I am hoping to get you involved in the process of creating your own elements in the story as well.

Things to discuss before we start up again:

1. Create a few groups that exist in the world. Ex. the El-kin. If you want the group to be available only to you, state so. It's what I did with the El-kin.

2. Shoot some ideas around as to what each dragon color means for that species of dragon. (Once El-kin goes "global" in the war against the Overseer everyone will have access to be an El-kin Dragonrider.)

And finally the biggest thing to discuss, Shall we keep this as a RP or into a more game-like structure?

Keep it as an RP. If we were to turn it into a game, we might as well play D&D, since without a structure in place, everyone in the tavern is a winfreak.

 

Feral dragons and noble dragons perhaps?

 

You could always steal one of the subplots from fire emblem about the BBEG doing experiments to warp gentle creatures and turn them into mentally unstable machines of war.

 

Just throwing that out there, since I never really liked the whole mary sue dragon thing. With this, there's another side to them, aside from "Perfect, gentle creature".

 

I might have some ideas, but they need revising first.

Maybe a more RP-like game? We play freely but anything that can fail will be rolled upon? Note, fail would not be like drowning in a drink or any other random occurance.

It will stay as a RP, but if I feel something is unfair to another person, then I'll ask that your post be editted.

 

EDIT: As for the dragons...they aren't all good or bad(You met ferals in that cave for instance). I just prefer a certain defining feature determines its species and capability. Color is usually the best option in a multi-way RP.

I plan to have Kemios meet up with a few... ummm... well, not dragons. More like giant, talking, magically-flying eels with claws. So I guess you could call them evolutionary freaks of dragonkind.

 

And he gets a couple toes bitten off by a baby one. :thumbsup:

theres also the fact that i have.. several estates, ill call em. anyways, i have dragon caves dotted around these estates, but only the forest area has one cave.

I plan to show more of Rashid's past (and why he was hunting the creature from the Red Court [/blatant rip-off of dresden files])

Well, as for the Mary Sue-like tendency of the dragons, I'll go into more detail. Most dragons that hold any real power are pretty much extinct, save for a mere handful (5-7). Most dragons that are encountered live like a tribe. No real magickal powers, maybe a minor perk here and there, but even a single soldier can kill one with normal weapons. They're small compared to dragons in other stories. If its bred for a rider it can only support one human's weight. Even the dragons that are bred don't have much in the terms of power.

 

On another note, element magicks are considered a lesser magick in this RP (I should've stated that in my outline lol).

okay. just saying, that if you sent one of those powerfull dragons to a non powerfull ribe, couldnt you have them train the non powerfull ones?

What would the use of various runes be?
