The music is grand and the food is even grander. After Alliaster becomes the official king, he steps up to the stand is about to give his inaugural speech, that's being broadcasted all over the kingdom. Just as Alliaster starts, a powerful creature, later identified as a *[url="http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss206/Hellraiser10247/fire_demon.jpg"]True Demon[/url]*, attacks main celebration under orders of a mysterious man named [url="http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g355/aquajaguar95/Anime/Evil-1.jpg"]Vincent[/url]. As day breaks, hours later, an emergency broadcast appears on the TV about how portals in the 5 major nations (Demon, Angel, Water, Beast and Mystical) have appeared in the last 2 hours and platoons of True Demons (of lesser powers then that one that attacked the castle) have been invading the nations. Alliaster, and an elite group of fighters, must now go into the portals and kill its keeper in order to seal the portals. Once the portals are sealed (and the platoons are killed off by the nation's army), the group must fight the Master True Demon and then Vincent in order to put an end to this attack of the world. Will the group succeed in stopping Vincent from destroying the world they know and love? Or will Vincent destroy them and everything else within the world of Thrae? Only time will tell.. [spoiler=*True Demon*]Back when Thrae was just starting out, all supernatural creatures were in their purest forms and humans were more abundant. As humans and supernatural creatures learned to live together in harmony, they started getting to know one another better, if ya know what I mean. Anyways, a majority of the demons didn't agree with this and rose up to destroy all the "tainted" beings and traitors to their ancestors. A noble group, consisting of atleast one from every major species, stood against the demons. The demons, however, were too strong for the group to kill so they went to a last resort: sealing them away. After the clean up of the destruction and the burial of the dead, the group decided that the best way to prevent this even from happening again would be to split up the major species and give them their own terrain in hopes there would be no more cross-breeding and riots over cross-breeding. After a few years, 6 nations were established: Demon, Angel, Water, Beast, Mystical and Human. Over many centuries, human, unfortunately, dwindled in numbers and their land was divided up between the remaining 5 nations. Each nation set up their own government, though each government is a different take of a monarch rule. After the species split up, they nominated the surviving warriors to become the leader of their nation and so it was. To this day, only 2 leaders can say they have some time of connection with the brave warriors while only one can say they still have a direct bloodline connection. (So in short, True Demons are demons from ancestral times that are pure, 100% demons, unlike most demons today, who has some type of human blood in them from long ago.)[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Characters] [spoiler=*~Dark~Magician~Girl~*] [spoiler=Alliaster]Age: 22 Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight Race: Demon [spoiler=Personality:] Alliaster mostly keeps to himself, following the policy of "speak softly and carry a big stick." Though, in his case, it's a fist. Alliaster isn't a fan of weapons, thinking that they can give a person an unfair advantage in a fight. "Fight's should be fought in fisticuffs, where the only variable is your skill... Not weapons..." is what he normally says when people make remarks about him bringing nothing to a gun fight. Alliaster likes to change his persona to match the situation, allowing him to manipulate the situation if called for. Alliaster is also a quick learner, which explains why he took to alchemy quickly at such a young age... [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography:]Alliaster lived most of his life, never knowing of who is father was. This didn't bother him much. He figured that if his father wouldn't put in the effort to know him, he won't put in the effort to get to know him via his mother. One day, Alliaster learned that his father was the Old King of the Demon Kingdom. Unfortunately, he learned of this as his mother died. As she died, she told him that the kingdom needed him and that Keiz needed to be put to a stop. Alliaster knew his mother was right; things in the kingdom were taking a turn for the worse. As he traveled to the castle, a group of people joined in with his fight for the throne. After about 2 months of doing this and that, Keiz was finally killed and Alliaster could finally return the kingdom to hands of true ruler, himself. Its been just short of a year since Keiz was killed and he's about to be officially crowned as king.

He's been busy cleaning up Keiz's mess.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=*~Dark~Magician~*] [spoiler=Leandros]Age: 27 Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual Race: Panthera Leo-Sapien (Called Leo-Sapien for short) [spoiler=Personality:] The great and proud Leo-Sapien that is Leandros is indeed boastful of his vast strength and might, an extremely potent member of the Leo-Sapien race of creatures. Though their true origin is unknown, often some beings derogatorily insult them by calling them crossbred Lion Humans, though most that do so never end up alive. The story of their creation is unsure, but the Pectouru Leonis Tribe believe that a divine entity whom the address as the Star Mother blessed them with both the power of the mighty lion and the intelligence and capability of a human. Leandros has a thirst for knowledge[color=#0000ff][size=3][sup]4[/sup][/size][/color] from a young age, and his father, Leandros Maximus[color=#0000ff][size=3][sup]1[/sup][/size][/color] took his knowledgeable son, and manipulated and stimulated his mental power to aid his chieftainship. He was raised into the Chief's family, and this is where some of his pride originates from. He also disapproved of the tribe's, under his father's rule, unjust treatment to women[color=#0000ff][sup][size=3]2[/size][/sup][/color]; he is often considered as the first male feminist of the tribe as he valued the Leo-Sapien's female partners as a blessing. This mainly rooted from his faith: the Goddess being a female and thus made him establish a link between the two. He's gentle, kind, and quite lovable when he's calm, relaxed and generally enjoying himself. However, upon aggression, he can switch to a violent, almost unstoppably brutal beast, allowing his anger to get the best of him. This anger roots from the male Leo-Sapien's large level of testosterone; despite this large aggressive nature expected from most Leo-Sapien males, he can control it with his extremely capable will power. In a calm state, Leandros can connect to emotional levels, but aggravated his head can be objectively active, very strategically, and often a severely dangerous weapon. From the family heritage, apparently the majority of Leandros' intensely deadly aggressive nature came from his mother, whereas his calmer side was his father's. Needless to say, this aggressive, valiant, and patient Chieftain is a natural born leader. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography:] Leandros was born into the Chieftain, son of Chieftain father Leandros Maximus and Head Huntress mother Adwar. Due to the “calming effect “[color=#0000ff][sup][size=3]3[/size][/sup][/color] of the Leo-Sapiens, Adwar had immediately retire from her position, leaving it to her sister and Leandros' aunt. His mother was a much more aggressive Lioness5 than her husband, who was very patient with his role. Leandros Maximus had an arranged marriage, done by his father and Leandros' grandfather, for the unity of the Hunters and the Chieftainship, settling dispute between the two families. But as the loving couple saw their child's face, they decided one day, he shall stumble across love on his own accord, trusting his future in his young hands. The young cub was close to his mother at the younger years, and wasn't a burden on the parent's. He rarely cried, nor did he misbehave. Oddly, he was a perfect baby. Unlike the playful little cub, his parents were very protective over the tot, often scaring away anyone other than the other parent in fears that they would harm Leandros in some manner. As he soon entered childhood, Leandros' father began to show him of the roles a chieftain had. And Leandros himself enjoyed it, the smiling civilians, all the happy faces his father had caused. But it was from this young age he already saw his father's flaws. As both his parents insisted, they both taught him of the faith that was of the Star Mother. And from this, and his nurturing mother, Leandros established the sanctity of the role of women, often regarding them as “blessings” of the Goddess. But his father's rule, unlike his aspirations, weren't what he'd expect. His father did tell him that he did rule a patriarchal tribe, but a minor one. He told his son, along with Adwar, of the other tribes outside their own. To this, Leandros was horrified, and couldn't believe how unjust the other tribes treated their women. And from this, Leandros decided his rule would never cause nor permit harm of any kind to a Lioness, nor a Lion, of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe. The child maintained his father's lessons, but insisted on attending a public school. Needless to say, with his stature, he had no bullies whatsoever but rather was swamped by other Lions[color=#0000ff][sup][size=3]5[/size][/sup][/color] and Lionesses wanting to be the Chieftain’s son's friend, all but one Lioness who didn't seem to care. This Lioness was Arielle, a daughter of the Priests[color=#0000ff][sup][size=3]6[/size][/sup][/color] of the tribe, but a practitioner of sorcery. Unlike the others, she was deep into her study and thought. Two years in advance of her class, she was extremely intelligent and distant from the other children. But she was different, and in Leandros' eyes, special. He developed a crush for the Lioness at an early stage, but his typical childish shyness shunned him from her. Apart from that, he did well in his studies. His adolescent years were tougher on the boy, with his crush on Arielle not loosening on his mind, he decided to finally sum up the courage and tell her. And she told him that she'd think about it. Not crushing his spirits, the two eventually dated and it bloomed into a romance. However, this may seem as a wonderful accomplishment. It's negative outcome? Leandros shirked his duties with his father to be with Arielle. Even though his parents understood, they both told him as the future Chieftain he would soon become, he needed to focus on his duties. Not only this, Leandros soon became involved in political warfare between tribes, and for the first time in his life was sent onto the battlefield as a soldier rather than an heir. Despite his excellent ability in combat, he never enjoyed it. And to top this all off, he ascended to the throne at age 17, his father passing away during the night from an assassination. The young chieftain, alongside his mother's aide, soon took control and their tribe became stronger. And it was at age 19 when his mother told him that he would no longer be able to rely on her, leaving her soon, the Chieftain of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe, to rule as she travelled the vast blue yonder. Age 20, Leandros began his aspiration to rebuild the tribe for equality and justice, where no-one was superior, nor inferior, to another in regards to rights. And doing so he became known as Leandros of Equality, although those against his anti-patriarchal society named him Leandros the He-She Chief. But the Lion had not a second for these lesser issues. Two years in, he felt that he needed a partner for him. And he recalled upon his old flame Arielle, and when Leandros was a month into his 23rd year, the pair married and ruled over the tribe as partners. Now, at age 27, four years since his marriage with Arielle, he is hoping to finally conceive with his wife and begin his prodigy. He hopes for a baby girl, so he can truly declare the reign of patriarchy in his tribe as obsolete forever.

[b]Hyper-Roar: [/b]An extremely loud and potent roar, sending heavy sound waves and shockwaves at the enemy in range. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Misc. Info:] In this app, there are numbers listed on certain items. In here, you can see the relating article with a brief description to clarify it: [color=#0000ff][b]1:[/b][/color] [i]“Maximus”[/i]/[i]”Maxima”[/i] is a title achieved to any male or female, depending on the gender of the offspring, who bears offspring, the title meaning [i]“Major”[/i] or [i]“Senior”[/i], and the child often bearing the father's name, except in the circumstance of a female chieftain, in which case the mother's name would be taken. If a second child of the same gender is born, that child would be named after the corresponding parent, followed by [i]Dua, Tria,[/i] etc. [color=#0000ff][b]2:[/b][/color] With exception to the [i]“Pectouru Leonis”[/i] Tribe (meaning [i]“Lionheart”[/i]), almost virtually every single other Leo-Sapien governed tribe has been known as patriarchal, from lesser to extreme cases. [b][color=#0000ff]3:[/color][/b] Leo-Sapiens have a much larger level of hormones than human beings; the males having more testosterone and the females having more estrogen. Female Leo-Sapiens also have higher levels of testosterone than most human women also, which gives them their aggressive nature. Oddly, both male and females seem to “calm” when they produce offspring. Thought to be a reduction of the testosterone, it is actually a repression of the hormone. [color=#0000ff][b]4:[/b][/color] Despite their tribal mannerisms and rituals, the Leo-Sapiens are all naturally scientific, and though most are decided to be warriors, some are remained as scholars of nature. [b][color=#0000ff]5:[/color][/b] Even though they are neither Lions nor Lionesses, the Leo-Sapiens of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe, and many others, prefer to be addressed as such for ease. Others, however, are likely to execute whoever calls them the “demeaning” name. [color=#0000ff][b]6: [/b][/color]All members of the Clergy of the Star Mother's faith are permitted to have offspring and live normal Leo-Sapien lives, as otherwise they could not inform those of the public of guidance.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Arielle]Age: 25 Gender: Female Sexuality: Heterosexual Race: Panthera Leo-Sapien (Called Leo-Sapien for short) [spoiler=Personality:] This induvidual of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe doesn't boast the natural pride of a normal Leo-Sapien. Arielle is much more calmer, relaxed, and gentle natured. A strong believer in the Star Mother, being the daughter of the Priests, she took a different calling, a different vocation to priesthood and left her role in the clergy. Rather, she took interest in magic, in particular the practical uses of the energy. She does have a scientific side to her, always willing to learn, but she will defend her beliefs strongly. She doesn't like being told she's believing in the wrong Goddess, in fact she hates it. She doesn't like prejudiced people in the slightest manner, but will be polite to them regardless. Arielle is a person who's patience, though large, can be pushed, and doing so will put this Lioness in a very very bad mood. Like al Leo-Sapiens, she has an aggresive nature too, though rarely seen. But regardless it is there. Most of the time she is gentle and playful, toying around with her husband and very fond of little children. She shows the early stages of motherhood in a Leo-Sapien even though she is currently not pregnant, although many believe that she was blessed with this early stage because of her desire to conceive and bear the future heir of Leandros' tribe. Arielle can, and will, be protective of young allies, often using her magic to shield them rather than herself. She shows selflessness, and is an extremelly good thinker unlike Leandros at times. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography:] Arielle was raised in a family of priests, honouring the Star Mother with her birth they claimed as she was born under a shooting sar, which was claimed to be the Star Mother's call to duty. And so because of this Arielle was forbidden to become a priestess like her mother, Arielle Maxima, as her destiny laid elsewhere as someone of severe significance. Though she learned of her faith, she was not permitted to partake in the festivals and rituals her sisters, Arielle Dua and Arielle Tria, would do. And also unlike her sisters, she was not given an arranged marriage as her parents believed it would affect her destiny as a child to affect the future for the better. She was a very intelligent baby, and learnt exceedingly well. Her father, Danil, thought that though priesthod would disturb her future, the art of magic would allow her to put her amazing intellect to use. And so from a young age she was learning with her father to harness her magical energy imbued within her body. His father, though a priest of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe, was once a shaman of the tribe and excelled in both mastering the secrets of the Sourustones and mastery of the Spell "Madante" which to normal shamans, mages, wizards, magicians and sages would send them mentally insane, but Danil had managed to practise his magical energy recuperation skill to an extent that he would be safe from the spell's negative and catastrophic side effect. And at age 5, Arielle had mastered the spell, which portrayed her intelligence as genius for such a young child. And as the young Lioness enter school, two years younger than all the other cubs. She never noticed Leandros when he first met her, she was too focussed into her work, sorcery and magic. But the reason she didn't crowd to him because she didn't see him as Leandros, son of Leandros Maximus, the Chieftain of the Tribe, but simply as another boy. That was part of her charm to Leandros, she didn't like to prejudge people but rather talk to them, get to know them before any opinion would be formed. And in higher education, she did eventually notice the heir, and when she told him "I'd have to think about it" she was merely playing hard to get. She wasn't as well endowed as other Leo-Sapien Lionesses, so she knew Leandros hadn't fell for her simply for her looks, and this sparked her attraction to him. She didn't like Leandros shirking his duties. Though she enjoyed spending time with him, she knew that if he were to be the Chieftain he would have to focus, and she was okay with that. The only problem was Leandros was too nice for his own good. And soon after his father passed away, she insisted that they stopped seeing eachother, he needed time to recover and she knew that he wouldn't get over it if she was their distracting him. Arielle wanted Leandros to face it head on, and he did as he ascended to Cheiftainship with a roar, his mother aiding him at first, but he maintained his impressive rule, especially with the abolishment of the patriarchy of the Tribe. Two years, they began to see eachother again, their passion reignited, and they eventually married as she became the wife of the Chieftain of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe, or for short the Muchaar. Unsure of the meaning of this phrase, due to it coming from extremelly early and incomprehensable language, she didn't care. They ruled the pride with honour, dignity, and she did share a little of her husband's pride, insisiting that it wasn't her own as she wasn't "like that".

Eye Color: Blue [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapons:] Primary: Fisticuffs [/spoiler] [spoiler=Skills/Abilities:] Arielle crafts Sourustones, which are any stone that has been enchanted by light or dark energy, and can be "burnt" into casting potent blessings and curses. To do this, Arielle deposits a small portion of her magical energy into the stone and, by random, she will get either a White or Black Sourustone. Arielle does not use spells, but rather curses or blessings to weaken or strength a target. [spoiler=Arielle's Magic list] [spoiler=Arielle's Curses] Henatosu: A curse upon which whoever it was bestowed upon has their offensive ability drastically weakened. Rukani: A curse upon which whoever it was bestowed upon has their defensive ability drastically weakened. Bomie: A curse upon which whoever it was bestowed upon has their agility reduced. Mahotoon: A curse upon which whoever it was bestowed upon nulifies their magical capability.

Piora: A blessing upon which whoever it was bestowed upon has their agility increased. Baikiruto: A blessing upon which whoever it was bestowed upon has their offensive power doubled. Mahokanta: A blessing upon which whoever it was bestowed upon has their skin, armor, etc covered in a magical aura, reflecting any magical attack. Behoma: A blessing upon which whoever it was bestowed upon has their health fully rejuvinated. Kiarii: A blessing upon which whoever it was bestowed upon removes most illness/poisons from their bodies. [/spoiler] Arielle has one single Magic Attack: [b]Madante:[/b] An extremelly difficult maneuver upon which by consuming all magical energy, one releases it in a magical eruption, causing devastating damage to anyone in it's grasp. [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler= Misc. Info:] Arielle's call of duty refers to the belief of the Star Mother. According to the belief, the Star Mother had fallen from the Heavens of which she ruled from. And shooting stars were belived to be her children, though they meant nothing unless a child was born underneath one. This meant that any child born under a shooting star was seen as special, one who would free the Star Mother from her Threally binds and set her free into the heavens above.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Lunar Origin] [spoiler=Luna Solen]Age: 23 Gender: Female Sexuality: Straight Race: Demon [spoiler=Personality:] Luna's personality has taken a turn for the better these days. Once she was an assassin that would carry out orders without a feeling of remorse; now, though, she is hesitant to take the life of anything even if it was required of her. Some of the soldiers who served under her whilst she was a 'Hand' would say that she has grown soft... and they aren't far from being right. She's grown more dry and sarcastic as a result of living with her sister, Catherine, but this side of her personality is completely pushed away while talking to old friends. Her fits of rage have also seemed to dissipate with the ending of Keiz's rule. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography:] As a child Luna was given to the military to be put to use; such is the way of the Solen family. Her affinity with magic had swiftly earned her a place in the ranks of Keiz's military, with herself becoming a full fledged 'Hand' at 15. After three years of that gig, though, she grew tired of the job and just up and quit. After two years of hiatus from the forces she was called back under regal order to serve as the kings personal bodyguard. After some time she was given an order to carry out an assassination. This one, however, seemed quite urgent, as she was ordered to carry it out by Keiz himself. Without a moments hesitation she went to find her target- no, targets, and end their lives. Her first target was an attractive, innocent looking demoness. She looked to be the age where she could have children who were as old as Luna herself. Remorseless, she slit the old woman's throat... but did she really need to do this? Interested, she sat around to view her second target before attempting to kill him. He had the features of the woman, and was probably her son. He screamed at the sight of his dying mother and wept. She kept watching, waiting for the right moment to strike... but then the woman spoke. Luna had now given up the notion of killing the boy, but she didn't know what compelled her to do this. She returned to Keiz and lied about not being able to find Alliaster, secretly yearning for him to overthrow the tyrant. She was split in her mind, though; it was her fault that the boy would try and take the thrown, for if she didn't kill his mother than none of this wouldn't have happened... or at least that is how she viewed it. Feeling both guilty and proud of what she had done, she left Keiz's castle under the ruse of being ill to go see Alliaster and see what she could do to help him on his quest.

Secondary (optional): She carries around her bloodied dagger as a memento, but it can also be used as a fighting tool... duh. Misc (optional): She can easily fight with her hands with the aid of magic. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Skills/Abilities:] [b]Infinite Mana Generation:[/b] Luna has the odd ability to generate her own field of endless mana around her. As such, she is almost never in need of rest from mana fatigue anymore. [b]Skilled Killer:[/b] As a Hand, Luna was trained in the art of stealth and assassination, and has learned many tricks to exploit ways to end ones life. [b]Compression: [/b]Luna can compress magic to the point of a single molecule, building up massive energy in a very very short time. She can then fire the spell like a bullet, causing widespread destruction wherever it would hit. [b]Bolting Hand: [/b]A spell that Luna came up with that abuses her special ability to 'compress' magic near infinitely. She compresses the energy around her palm to the itty-bitty size of a thumbtack head, then fires the ball at her enemy. The ball grows as it draws in closer to its target, and by the time it reaches them it could very well be at least 250x the size it was normally. Takes a huge toll on her physical state. [b]Recall:[/b] She can use her magic to 'compress' herself and speed up travel to a place as long as she knows where the place is and has been there in the past. [b]Flight: [/b]By concentrating her energy into her back, she can cause wings to form, albeit for a short time. [b]Lockpicking: [/b]Uses magic to pick locks. Easy stuff. [b]Advanced Healing: [/b]Due to the sheer amount of mana generated by Luna, she can very easily heal a multitude of wounds at once, though this will take a significant toll on her physical state if not performed on herself. [/spoiler] [spoiler=One Year Catchup]Luna left the side of Alliaster and company to go live out her life with her sister, Catherine. She felt guilty enough being around Alliaster due to killing his mother. She will occasionally pay visit to the castle despite this.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Catherine (Cat-ah-rin) 'Hope' Solen (Saw-Lenn)]Age: 19 Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual Race: Demon [spoiler=Personality:] Catherine is a bit of an anti-cynic; she doesn't work for her own personal gain at all, but for the good of everybody around her. This was reflected in the Solon family itself when she took over. Once a band of vagrants and thieves, it was quickly turned around by Catherine once she recieved the placement as head of the house. This doesn't mean she doesn't have her own mischeivous side, however. Her intentions, although good, are sure to cause a stir no matter how subtle it is. She also likes to put a lot of dramatic flair in her speech, not afraid to glorify herself and belittle others. You could easily describe her as haughty, but that barely begins to scratch the surface of this over-confident woman. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography:] Catherine was raised on the simple phrase 'Dog Eat Dog'. She quickly worked her way to the top of the food chain within the large Solen family, becoming the 'favorite' of her father. At the age of 6 she was recognized as a prodigy in terms of making deals- she could easily convince almost anyone to part with their possessions for a 'reasonable' price. Unbeknownst to her family, and Catherine, for that matter, there was more to her convincing than just some pretty looks and her sheer confidence in herself. At the age of 12 she was designated as the heir to the Solen family business. She objected to her fathers wishes to leading such a large organization, but he had faith in her. At the age of 16 her father passed away, leaving her to the families affairs. She quickly stopped any and all illegal activities that they were involved in, and paid off any debts they had through various 'services' and such. Catherine also met her older sister, Luna, at 16. They quickly became the best of friends, being nearly inseparable for a time. She's now taken an emotionally scarred Luna in as a guest in her house, dedicating a lot of her time to give support to her.

All she has to do is 'suggest' something to whomever she talks to, like a sort of compromise or deal, and the person receiving the suggestion would usually submit to her demands... no matter how outrageous. [b]Skilled Fighter:[/b] Working in the Solen Clan has given her skills rivaling the now defunct 'Hands' in fighting, although she usually prefers to talk her way out of things instead.

When he's not being smug, and isn't taunting his enemies, he can either be very serious, or quite sarcastic. He will usually notice flaws with people, or groups, or even races as a whole, and isn't hesitant to point them out, whether or not it would start a fight or not, he wouldn't mind, he'd be fine with having a bit of a brawl, or even a one sided-fight, it doesn't matter to him, he'll deal with it. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography:] Magus was born into greatness. He had a powerful family, full of powerful people, not only power-holding wise, but strength and magic wise as well. Magus trained in many different kinds of Martial arts, from Tae Kwon Do, to Bojuka, to Shinkendo, from an early age resulting in a very well built physique, and immense strength. He also trained in the arts of black magic, learning his way around both singular and wide ranged elemental spells, though, even in the present, he has yet to learn to combine the elements. Magus has traveled all around the world, one time in particular, he visited a certain kingdom that was under tyrannical rule by a false ruler, the real prince came along with some buds and killed the prick. A year later, they were apparently celebrating something to due with him, and Magus decided that a festival may not be so bad, so he went to it witnessed the attack, saw the news broadcast, yadda yadda yadda. He is currently still in that kingdom, having not found a reason to go back anywhere else.

She'd much rather be in a warm university library reading a book or three and studying up on magic than fighting over the throne and fate of the Demon Kingdom. That, of course, won't happen for a while. The main reason she opposes the demons is that they keep trying to kill her; she's really just getting swept along with everything. She's no great planner... or fighter, actually. She's sort of just there, being useless and trying to make sense of it all. Then again, what did you expect from a Dent? Thraci is very down-to-earth and a slow, deliberate thinker. Her sense of humour is nothing special, though she has a very impressive deadpan when she has the cognition to employ it, and though she can think very well and receive insights that most couldn't, she needs a great deal of time and concentration to do so. Unfortunately, that down-to-earth nature, the same thing that makes her a very effective scientist, also makes her very ill-prepared to wage war against True Demons and try to save the world. I expect she'll spend most of her time either snarking at her teammates, if drama happens, or trying and failing to make sense of the world around her, when action happens. In other words, she really is a lead-witted little bugger.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography:]Arthracia Dent (she goes by Thraci) is, like most people whose names start with "Arth" and end with "Dent," really, really boring*. Her life was relatively privileged*, spent in a reasonably wealthy but utterly unimportant suburb. She had a slightly above-average ability with magic and a slightly above-average wit, so she found her way to a relatively prestigious magical academy. It is at this point that she made her most significant discovery. While attempting to create a localized vacuum for an experiment, she was distracted by the presence of a navy blue tote bag she was sure she'd lost years prior. In her distraction, she accidentally created a horizontal tornado. The tornado decimated the wall of the university, but it dissipated quickly once Thraci stopped powering the spell. Without going too far into the field of metaphysics, I will simply say that magic has a tendency to stick to itself; even without a power source, a helical spell like the tornado should have lasted much longer (and, for that matter, done less damage). Dent barely managed to stay in school by developing a possible explanation for the strange behaviour of her spell. She's still researching the Dent effect, among other things. Unfortunately*, as Thraci was about to commence her postgraduate studies, royal soldiers closed the university down. Thraci's parents didn't have the money to support her, let alone pay for graduate studies thanks to heavy taxes, gambling, and Mr. Urbaska Dent choosing the wrong night not to bring a towel. Thraci herself had a fair amount of money accrued by doing a great many odd jobs (most of which had something to do with either a library or a bookstore). Thus, Thraci was left to roam the land, searching for the money she'd need to pay for a proper* education. The university was never reopened; it was rather backwater, after all, and all the professors had retired and gone off to play cricket. So she was still trying and failing to find a place to learn when the town she was in at the moment was beseiged by True Demons and their armies. She'd have died if a spaceship hadn't fallen on the True Demon that was about to kill her. A strange* man came out of the spaceship, called Thraci a lead-witted little bugger, got back into the spaceship, and left. And that's the roleplay begins*. *Your mileage may vary.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Appearance:]Thraci is a girl. This fact rarely needs clarification -- she looks plenty feminine -- but I thought I'd better get that out of the way before I started. She's female in both gender and sex, and there is very little ambiguity about that. She is also a reasonably pure-blooded mage, not that one can tell the difference between a mage and a human anyway. Thus, she has things like hair (in this case, black, long, wavy, and almost never tied), eyes (two, both a very boring shade of grey), non-furred skin (a sort of unsaturated yellow-pink), arms (two), legs (two), feet (two, rather small), and a face (small, neither round nor thin). She also has round ears on either side of her head which, while terribly insensitive in the grand scheme of things, are sharper than those of most [i]homo sapiens[/i]. Thraci is, in fact, an ordained sorceress of the first degree, so she has the requisite robes to match her profession. They're black, mostly, but there are also red elements and gold highlights. They have sleeves (red), cover her body, and fit her rather nicely. They leave room for her legs to run and for her hands (of which she has two, both of which are small with long, thin fingers adept at manipulating instruments and turning pages) to operate. She even has a fancy magical necklace and wand to go with her sorceress getup. The wand is very long, like a cabaret cane, and it's said that she'd be able to dance very nicely with it if she ever tried. Her pendant glows white when she uses magic and is shaped like the moon. Oddly enough, because of the abuse it's undergone over the years, it looks less like the moon of Thrae than the moon of a big rocky planet in the Milky Way galaxy. Ordinarily, Thraci wouldn't go around in her sorceress's garb, but since all manner of things seem to want to kill her and everyone around her these days, she figures it's best to keep it on most of the time. In other words, I don't have to describe any other outfits right now. Convenient, no?[/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapons:]Primary: She has some training with one-handed swords and daggers thanks to an incident involving one Cartato E. Vellison and a strip club. She's nowhere near military proficiency, however, and she'd only be able to accomplish anything with a lucky shot. Secondary (optional): She's pretty good at smacking people upside the head with books. Thanks to years of library work, she can wield the single-volume version of [i]The King of the Circular Finger Jewelry[/i] dextrously with one hand. Misc (optional): She can create weapons using Iron Synthesis. That doesn't mean she can use them. She is a civilian, after all.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Skills/Abilities:]Arthracia is actually a typical student of magic -- in particular, magical research. Her spells, therefore, are not necessarily combat oriented. She does, however, know some defencive spells: >Flare: The most basic of offencive spells; it uses the cohesive properties of magic to create and throw a sphere of magical fire. Mages can play a form of catch with Flares. >Mega Flare: A form of Flare created by Arthracia. It exploits the Dent effect to create a Flare much bigger than would normally be possible. The sphere shrinks as it travels; it dissipates roughly ten meters ahead of where it was fired. If it hits something before then, it explodes. Arthracia recoups some of the energy from this spell, so the main use of it is to throw around several at once and confuse the enemy. >Royal Flare: A really freaking huge Flare. It covers the whole room, and it isn't thrown, but instead retracted. Unless you're Patchouli Knowledge and in good health, which is... unlikely, you need some sort of talisman to make up the titanic initial cost. The mage actually recalls the flare at the end of the spell, recouping some of the cost and making the spell possible for mortals. If the caster is hit midway through and unable to recall the spell, they're as good as dead, but thankfully, it's almost impossible to get hit while surrounded by a giant fireball. >Wipe Temperature: Uses her temperature control to drastically lower the temperature of the water surrounding an enemy, effectively freezing them solid. The nature of the spell makes it fairly obvious, however; the target has about a second to get out of the way. Of course, if they're distracted... well, not much they can do about that. >Duct Typhoon: A horizontal, localized tornado hits the enemy. Arthracia created this spell by accident when she was trying to create a localized vacuum for research purposes. She took out the wall and was nearly expelled from the university she was then studying at. She wrote her undergraduate thesis on the properties of magic revealed by the spell; she's still testing her "Dent effect," which also guides her unique (except for that one raven from Gensokyo) spell, Mega Flare. >Duct Downdraft: Duct Typhoon PLUS FIRE! >Duct Waterspout: Duct Typhoon PLUS WATER! >Stonewall: Raises the earth around her. A ridiculously basic spell that Thraci can perform very, very quickly, to launch, crush (backwards), or impale her enemies if they get too close. >Iron Synthesis: She can use magic to materialize iron objects using extra-planetary iron. Very useful for times when she's locked out of a room, for example, or when a nearby ally needs a weapon. Not very useful in combat, since Thraci doesn't know how to use them. She also has a host of other non-combative spells, including, but not limited to, a series of elemental wards, some physical barriers, far too many search spells, and some environmental manipulation magic for experimentation. Her magical power level is, however, only slightly above average.[/spoiler] [spoiler= Misc. Info:]Some of the metaphysics associated with the Dent effect, and why Thraci's spells work at all, for those geeky enough to care: >[b]Subspace[/b] is the source of all magical power. The composition of subspace is hotly contested by modern magical researchers. Some say that it consists of [b]leylines[/b], thin conduits overlaid over Thrae's physical geography like a massive, spherical spiderweb. Modern researchers are more likely to say that it's a sort of magical cloud hanging over Thrae. Either way, magic is almost impossible to use over 9000 kilometers above sea level. Subspace is undetectable most of the time; it's a sort of parallel dimension that's only detectable at all when magic is used. Then, local subspace tends to "light up." Combat mages usually try to use as little mana as possible so as to make their subspace imprints less readable. >On that note, mana is the intangible force that guides all magic. Mana is used to affect natural phenomena as the spellcaster desires. >Mana is cohesive; i.e., mana tends to attract mana. The cohesiveness of mana is critical to magical studies. It's very difficult, for example, to create a magical beam with a great deal of force, since the mana will lag behind. Similarly, a large clump of mana, like a primitive fireball spell, moves slowly and doesn't hit with much force. The usual solution is to make the mana spin. Spinning mana has less range than solitary mana, but it hits with much more power, since the mana is sticking together anyway. Until recently, it was thought that the reason spinning mana had less range was because of the energy needed to make the mana spin, but... >...the Dent effect says otherwise. According to Dent and her fellow researchers, concentrated, rapidly moving mana tends to dissipate back into subspace without a mana supply (i.e. continued casting by a sorcerer). Dent was still working on testing it and developing an equation to describe how it might work when the university was closed. She still doesn't know how or if it works, but hey, most sorcerers don't even know it might exist. Also, for those who don't know, the Kinsey scale is a scale from zero to six describing a person's sexual orientation at any given time. Higher scores are, well, gayer. Three is pure bisexuality, zero is pure heterosexuality, and six is pure homosexuality, but those numbers are surprisingly rare. One (such as myself IRL) and five (such as Thraci) are "pretty much straight" and "pretty much gay" respectively; twos and fours might identify as bisexuals that just so happen to prefer one gender, or they might just be confused. Depends on the person. Note that a Kinsey rating can and does change over a person's lifetime, and might even change, for example, over the course of a single roleplay.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Altair Ibn-La'Ahad] [spoiler=Akarui]Age: Hundreds of thousands, although in this form, one year-seven months old Gender: M Sexuality: Straight Race: Dragon [spoiler=Personality] Akarui is quite a proud dragon, seemingly the last of his race although he carries a lot of pride with his race. He is very intelligent and enjoys correcting other's mistakes. With his second reincarnation, he seems to be more of a carnivore, although will eat veggies if he must. He also seems to find his telepathy quite amusing, as if done correctly he can make people think that he's talking to them directly, when in fact no one is there at all. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography] Akarui once reigned as an immortal dragon in a faraway kingdom, but that was hundreds of thousands of years ago, he was much larger back then, being large enough to be compared to a mountain, although he was not quite the size of one. One day, a paranoid king sent an assassin to kill him out of terror of what he could do. No one knows how said assassin managed to do so, but he did it. Mortally wounded, Akarui used the magic only dragons can use, with it, he reincarnated himself into the body of an 16-year-old boy. He assumed the age and identity of this boy, while losing all his memories. Two years later, he ventured in search of answers to remembering. Making a deal with Keiz to kill Alliaster, only to change factions when an old man cast a spell on him, returning his memories. Alliaster and his other friends arrived late to the castle, Akarui had beaten them there and was currently in his day-long fight with Keiz, only to end with Akarui's distraction and his seemingly death. Within his final moments, he reincarnated himself using dragon magic, this only being possible due to the dragon blood in the human body's veins. He created an egg which hatched immediately into his current form. Being forced to command his old body like a puppet, he aided Alliaster in Keiz's death and has remained within this kingdom ever since. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Appearance] Akarui is a dragon about three feet larger than that of the average human being (both vertical and horizontal, so about 8'6") and is to continue growing until his death or reincarnation. He also weighs around 500 pounds, he also seems to be quite muscular, if a dragon can seem muscular. His scales are black while his eyes are grey with the usual dragon slit. His wings are quite noticable as well, they are also black bat-like with thin membranes. His claws and teeth being a perfect shade of white until he makes a kill during his hunt or when he draws blood from an enemy. His scales reflect the sunlight while he is directly in it. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapons:]Primary: Nothing, unless you count fangs and claws Secondary: Magical armor that grows along with his body so that he does not need new armor forged, anything humanoid can put it on him [/spoiler] [spoiler=Skills/Abilities:] [b]Dragon Magic:[/b] A vert tricky magic, nearly anything can be done with it, although it requires said dragon to be under emotional stress, when his emotions are raging, when on the verge of death and sometimes, though rarely at completely random times to be used [b]Flaming Breath:[/b] The only type of Dragon Magic a dragon can use willingly, dragons do not achieve this until they are 6 months of age, the temperature can also be willed between 50°C-10,000°C, although the maximum temperature cannot be reached until the dragon is a decade years old, until then the maximum is 2,500°C, 5,000°C is the maximum as of 5 years of age. [b]Flight:[/b] Average dragon flight [b]Telepathy:[/b] Being a dragon, this is the only way Akarui can communicate with other living beings, while in combat he can use this to predict an enemy's movement. Also, if the target is dumb enough, he can plant a thought into any target's head using this, he can also use this on smarter targets, but if they are not distracted or something of the sort, they will realize that it was him that planted this thought in their head and ignore it. He also enjoys and finds it ammusing using this against his prey while he hunts for food. [/spoiler] [spoiler=One Year Catchup]Akarui has remained by Alliaster's side for the past year and seven months, claiming that he should not leave this kingdom due to his third birth taking place within that very castle. Growing at quite the impressive pace and enjoying spending his time within Alliaster's throne room; the place of his third birth.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Admiral_Stalfos19] [spoiler=Countess Noah Lyman]Age: 17 Gender: Hermaphrodite (a proper one... y'know, with both reproductive organs) Sexuality: Asexual/Homosexual (seriously, if she has sex with girls, she's a lesbian and if she has sex with guys, she's gay. Therefore, she's a homosexual person no matter what way you look at it D:) Race: Vrykolakas Side: None [spoiler=Personality:]Noah can be very flirtatious around any gender of beings, even females. Once she gets the blood she needs from them though, she'll more often than not want nothing more to do with them... at least not in another 24 hours. However, if at least 72 hours passed since her last feed instead, she'll suffer from a dehydration that only blood can truly quench. If she tries to drink anything else, it'll only come back within seconds. At this stage, Noah will drop the flirtation and adopt a more desperate approach.[/spoiler][spoiler=Biography:]Various mutations in Countess Noah's body have seemed to greatly weaken the genetic flaws in the stereotypical vampire. Because of this, she isn't going to be warded away from a particular place any time soon. For example, placing a mirror in front of a door doesn't even work against her, and she won't be fooled by the mustard-seeds-on-roof trick. Crufixices are better off being thrown at her as well, especially if they're sharp around the edges. Luckily for those who're desperate in keeping her away, she still suffers light-triggered migraines. She's also allergic to wild roses, garlic and hawthorn plants, and is actually capable of suffering hypothermia when holy water is splashed on her. However, the absolute second best way to save yourself from her wrath is to get your ass over to a consecrated ground... 'cause that's the one thing she [i]hasn't[/i] managed to get over, mutation or otherwise. But she could just snipe you, which is why the best way is to make sure you don't piss her off.[/spoiler][spoiler=Appearance:][img]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/230/0/4/manga_commish__soupy182_pg5_by_enjelia-d472z0q.png[/img] Height: 6' 1" Weight: 147lbs Skin Complexion: Extremely Pale Eyes: Silver Hair: Golden Blonde[/spoiler][spoiler=Weapons:]Primary: Canine Fangs - Used to draw blood from the victim. If Noah has recently fed off another being, the fangs will be size of a regular human's, but they'll grow to thrice that size within 24 hours. Sometimes a lethal venom will develop in Noah's fangs, particularly when she hasn't fed for days. In such a case, Noah will bite in one place of the body to deposit the venom, which is injected immediately, and then bite once more in an area of the body well away from the initial bite for feeding. Secondary: Mosin Nagant: A sniper rifle that fires tranquilliser darts. Noah will only use this when she suspects her targets would try to evade her by the time she gets there.

However, he's far from hesitant to shoot down all those that oppose him. Sarge also dislikes suspicious characters, and needs to know he can trust people before he can even think about allying himself with them.

The superior technologies within Sarge are bound to come in handy sooner or later, especially since they've been proven to work in his own time, were apparently the True Demons are much stronger.

Race: Human [spoiler=Personality]Sinn barely talks due to his training. He had learned that to listen and learn is better than to speak. Unless he actually has something to say, he says nothing. He doesn't agree, he doesn't disagree, he brings up his own unique points in a conversation and says it in the least amount of words possible. I said above that he doesn't agree. This is a big point. He prefers "No" and words like "Possibly" and "maybe" instead of a straight out "yes". The complete opposite of a ladies man, he prefers to keep anything romantic out of his life as he believes as long as he keeps anyone besides his liege, and his family, out of his life he will be more powerful than the Demon he created his Pact with so he can destroy it. Although, since the fall of Keiz, Sinn has become slightly more friendly. He seems gruff and rather mean at first, but once you get to know him, he is really nice. You just have to make him trust you.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Biography] Sinn was born in a town where it was dog-eat-dog, kill or be killed, rob or be robbed. Sinn excelled at the art of Assassination, which his parents also specialized in. His sister was a master thief. His brother was a general thug, arrested more than 5 times. While his sister made most of the money, he became a contract killer in the Demon City sending half his earnings to his parents. Soon after he moved to the Demon City, sickness hit his hometown, Yran. His mother, Alice, escaped without harm but his father and brother died. Nothing was heard of his sister. Sinn and Alice found Keiz and, desperate to find their lost one, began to work for him. Eventually, on a mission far from the Demon City, Sinn found his sister. Or, part of her. Her arm, with the birthmark of a saber, was found in a cave, along with bones. But a trail of blood said that she escaped. He followed the trail and found her, weak and dying. His sister, whose name is Wisteria, had an infected wound. Sinn finished his job quickly and headed back to the Demon City, to find the King had died. He struck a deal with Keiz to help him keep the throne if Keiz helped Wisteria. Keiz did all he could, but nearly failed. Sinn struck a pact with a demon to give him dark powers. He healed Wisterias arm completely, but at the cost of his sanity. After a few months of help, he was back. But he knows the demon isn't done yet. It will cause trouble at the least convenient moment, he knows....for it whispers dark secrets in the back of his head, torturing him............. (unrelated: Anything different is in the one-year catchup.) [/spoiler] [spoiler=Appearance]Face: Sinn has a scar on his face that cuts diagonally across his whole face. His eyes are nearly black, they are so dark, with barely any whites. Hair: Black hair, buzz cut. Physique: Slightly on the large side for an Assassin, Sinn is quite muscular and has great strength, although most of it is from his Pact. Height: 5'7 Weight: 223 lbs. Clothing: Sinn wears a black hooded cloak, with black leather armor with a white design on the back. He wears dark red gloves and boots, and has a black belt with a silver belt buckle with a demonic design. Marks: Like his sister, Sinn has a birthmark on his left arm. It is the shape of a serpent. Skin: He always seems to have a perfect tan. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapons]Primary: A rifle of his own creation, it is the MSAR (Multiple Setting Assault Rifle). It has a rotating barrel that lets him choose between 4 different settings. First Setting: The default setting. Its basically a machine gun, with around 300 bullets when fully loaded. Second Setting: A tranquilizer dart. Sinn always carries a couple extras on his belt, as you can only load 2 at a time. Third Setting: Gas. Sinn's least favorite setting, he has a multitude of gas canisters ranging from stun gas to poison. Fourth Setting: A small flamethrower. Secondary: A Desert Eagle handgun. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Skills/Abilities] [spoiler=Magic] Sinn retains all his magic he learned when he worked with Keiz (I'll find those in a bit), and has learned more. [b]Cleanse Air[/b] Eradicates the air of anything toxic or dangerous. Used to clear the gas from his gun. [b]Eagle Eyes[/b] Ensures Sinn will not miss on his next shot. [b]Morph[/b] Sinn can morph into a tiger. (cloths do not morph with him). He retains his consciousness and identity, but is in complete control of the tiger body.(Think Animorphs) [b]Demonic Aide[/b] This can only be used while Quarr is within 20 feet of Sinn. Quarr transfers energy to Sinn enough to give the next action he takes a serious boost. [b]Fade[/b] Sinn will slowly fade into the background. Cannot be used in combat, but may be used if he is retreating. Once he is invisible, it lasts a little over an hour, unless Sinn terminates it. [/spoiler] [b]Concealment[/b] As a result of living in a forest, Sinn has incredible skill at concealing himself noiselessly.[/spoiler] [spoiler= Misc. Info] Quarr, his demon friend, is always at Sinns side. Rather useless in melee, Quarr is basically a magical aide to Sinns excursions. Can use basic blast and shield magic, and has sharp claws and a pointy tail. He is extremely intelligent. [/spoiler] [spoiler=One Year Catchup][i]One long year.[/i] Thought Sinn as he sat in a tree. [i]So much has happened. [/i]Keiz had been overthrown, not that he cared. Keiz didnt do jack to help his hometown. Hopefully, Alliaster would be slightly more compassionate. When Keiz was overthrown, Sinn told Alliaster that he didnt care who was on the throne. He said he would not intentionally help nor hinder him, and then proceeded to build his place in a far-off woods. He and his sister too their mother, but she was weak, and died within months. Sinn then had an idea. He decided to go back to his old assassination shenanigans. He searched the land, and anyone he found unworthy of life, he terminated. Some people found him, paid him to kill, and he killed. But he grew weary, and needed actual work. So one idea entered his head.

Angel: A majority of the residents here are angel-like creatures. The rest are other winged creatures like fairies, pixies, bird-likes, etc. Water: Most of the residents here reside under the water. They all can travel on land, assuming they have a water-breathing apparatus to use, but most prefer to stay underwater. Beast: Beast-like creatures from all ranges of the animal kingdom resides here. From antelope people to zebra people. Demon: Demons and other underworld-like creatures reside here. Most range from human-like bodies to humanoid shapes. Ones who bodies don't resemble human forms in some ways are rare. Mystical: This nation is the most diverse of the all. Anything from robots to vampires choose to reside here, if none of the other nations suit to their tastes. In general: All nations have various residences, of course, especially around the boundary lines. Its around the center of the nations where there are few people of species that don't fit under the nation's general descriptions.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The sun was just starting to rise as a man stood outside of an inn, stretching out his body and wings, readying for the day's journey. It has been a day since the attack upon the 5 main nations of Thrae began. Outside of this inn, that sat at the meeting boundary lines for all 5 nations, was where the meeting place was set up for those that wanted to step-up and take care of the portals and the man behind the attacks, [url="http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g355/aquajaguar95/Anime/Evil-1.jpg"]Vincent[/url], while the armies took care of the True Demon armies invading their homeland. Alliaster, the man standing outside of the inn, awaited for warriors to start appearing out of the inn. If things worked out correctly, the fighters should have been arriving at various times since yesterday. Alliaster had arrived after giving out the announcement of the group's forming, reserving all the spare rooms the inn had. Alliaster frowned slightly as he looked back at his black feathered wings. He had been the official king of the Demon Kingdom for only moments before Vincent attacked the castle and the celebrations. The damage was, never mind, words can't describe it. The death toll was high, but not as high as it should have been. This slightly disturbed Alliaster. The damage was... immense, but the death toll didn't reflect the damage. Was Vincent taunting Alliaster by not killing as much as he could have with that True Demon? It almost felt like it was a direct challenge towards him, like Vincent had a bone to pick Alliaster with. As far as Alliaster could remember, he had never met Vincent. Vincent was certainly one of those people you could never forget and not in a good way. Alliaster jumped a little, his deep thought session getting distrurbed as he heard someone step out of the inn. Hopefully, it was one of many fighters that was joining him on his quest to put a stop to Vincent. [/indent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Wolf Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Akarui flew from a firest not too far from the town the inn was at, his claws and teeth blood-red from his hunt, Akarui floated in front of Alliaster using his wings, Usig his telepathy directed solely to Alliaster to communicate [color=#ff0000]"Alliaster, do not worry about Vincent, if I am somehow not the last surviving dragon, I could find them and with an army if dragons, we could end Vincent faster than this began, but alas, that would prove most difficult, and I believe I have a fair estimation on why Vincent attacked, it is quite logical."[/color] Akarui explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 As the sunlight shone into the inn, a large beast tussled in his bed, growling from perhaps a dream. The creature's mane was messed all over the bed, and the sheer size of it would give the impression that the King sized bed was too small. But alas, the morning breeze soon hit the creature's nose, causing it to twitch from the gentle cool flow of air, filling the room. The creature's lagre arm craddling another' a much more slender figure, one without a mane unlike the first. The pair were both Leo-Sapiens, and in fact they were Leandros and Arielle of the Pectouru Leonis tribe, the two leaders of the tribe, and perhaps the greatest fighters in their respective areas. First was Leandros, the proud Chieftain of the tribe. A Leo-Sapien champion who's strength matches only to his courageous heart and his gentle hand. A Lion who's majestic mane bore tales of battles long gone into the day, and who's body, scarred in numerous spots, acted as a symbol of his power. He didn't boast much, though he enjoyed to, unlike his other, his wife, the Muchaar of the Pectouru Tribe. She was Arielle, a Leo-Sapien much more tranquil than the others. Modesty and kindness are attributed to this Lioness, and her sapphire blue eyes yield an innocent mask, disguising her physical power. Despite it did not match to Leandros', she possessed something he could only aspire for, Magic. Born a priestess and raised a shaman, magic flowed in her blood with no doubt. At one with the Sourustones she crafts, she has made many victories for her allies possible. And Arielle woke first, looking at her husband with a gentle smile. Turning to him, she licked his cheek and said [i]"Come on, wake up, we need to go."[/i]. Leandros' drowsy eyes gradually woke to her gentle voice, and a smile bloomed on his face. [b]"Are you sure? I'd rather stay like this forever."[/b] he said, wrapping his arms around her and hugging her close to him. Arielle didn't deny the hu, but she did say [i]"Leandros, come now, we can't be late."[/i] Leandros himself knew this to be true, and so he let go of his wife as he stretched his arms, and let out a yawn. His deep voice then rose again. [b]"Alright then, I'll just get myself ready."[/b] And he climbed out of the bed, soon to cover himself with his armor, his pants on first, to which Arielle laughed lightly. [i]"Well, I guess I should make a move too."[/i] She said as she covered herself with the blanket. Leandros smiled and shook his head, she'd always been shy, even infront of her husband, but he lovd that about her. Especially when she insisted to have her own dressing room. [b]"Don't take too long, I'll wait for you at the bar."[/b] Leandros called to her, his armor fulled equipped and slotting his sword in it's scabard. [i]"I won't be 'too' long!"[/i] Arielle called back teasingly. [i]"But you do know this armor, though little of it, takes some time...ouch! To equip."[/i] Leandros laughed lightly, though with his tremendous deep voice it was certainly loud. And so he closed the door behind him, turning to the stairs and making his way. And as he climbed down the stairs, he saw a group of his men along with the Lieutenant, and his temporary replacement, [url=http://charactersrplenty.webs.com/Anthro_Tournament_Colored_by_WolfLSI.jpg]Azazel[/url]. Shaking the young Leo-Sapien's hand, he said [b]"I entrust you with my pride, my tribe. You have fought alongside me many times, so now I shall truly see you in your best efforts."[/b] Azazel replied "Chieftain, surely why not allow Arielle to take your place? She kwows more off the duties than I." Leandros shook his head. [b]"She decided to come along with me, I would have let her stay but she insisted. From the letter we received, these 'True Demons' are dangerous. And because of that, I think I'll need every curse and blessing she can give me."[/b] Azazel, nodding to his statement, sighed as he said "I'll leave it in one piece for you Leandros! I can assure you our military might will trounce those Demons!". Turning to the soldiers, Azazel said "Move out!" And they all left the in in a rush, from sprinting to leaping onto all fours, speeding away back to the nation of Beasts, where the tribe awaited their return. Leandros said to himself as they left [b]"I hope that we can withstand a Demon. We may be naturally stronger than most, but that doesn't mean these Demons will be any less of a challenge."[/b] And so he sat down to the bar, getting a glass...well, a bucket of water. He couldn't hold a glass! The first one smashed in his paw. And as he took a drink from his...erm, bucket, he saw Arielle in her armor coming down the stairs, smilling at her as she spoke up. [i]"So, where's Alliaster?"[/i] Leandros, despite being the Chieftain of the tribe, knew little of the Demon King. [b]"Pardon?"[/b] [i]"The man who sent us the letter?"[/i] [b]"Oh! Well, I pressume he is outside waiting for us."[/b] And to this Arielle nodded. Patting her busband on the back she said [i]"Well, finish your drink, I'll be waiting with soon to be our new allies."[/i] And Leandros did so, taking a drink from the bucket as the bartender said "She's a keepah' pal, ya did gud." Leandros' yellow eyes let out a chuckle. [b]"I know, I truly am a lucky Lion."[/b] Arielle, unaware of the conversation between her husband and the bartender, walked outside the inn to see Alliaster and Akarui. Though they were silent, she could sense the communication, but she didn't listen in to it, she respected pirvacy. So rather she walked to the King and bowed her head to him. [i]"Greetings your highness, I am Arielle of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe. We understand that you sent us a letter of this distress. I know it was directed to my husband, the Chieftain, however I can assure you with me along, I can offer assisatnce when neccesary. I am very adept in blessings and-"[/i] Suddenly, a roar was let out in the bar. [i]"Oh my, that's probably my husband, I'll be right back!"[/i] She said with no concern of the roar, but rather a light chuckle. Leandros, on the other hand, was holding his eye in pain, the bartender saying "I'm really sorry guv'! I dinnae' mean to-" Leandros barked back [b]"It's fine! Don't worry about it, I know you weren't trying to hurt me!"[/b] Shaking his head, his mane whipping around, Arielle came up to him, and catching his chin her pulled his face to her's, looking into the eye. [i]"Oh dear, got a little speck in there. Here..."[/i] And with her sharp, yet precise claw she extracted the speck in his eye and kissed him on the forehead, saying [i]"All better!"[/i] And walking back outside to Alliaster. Leandros, who had finished his drink...erm, bucket, walked out himself, lookin to see who was there. And he spotted Arielle standing by a black feathered demon, and a dragon floatingin the air. Arielle then introduced her husband to the King. [i]"Your Highness, this is my hiusband, Chieftain Leandros of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe."[/i] Leandros nodded to Alliaster and said [b]"A pleasure to meet you."[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 A quite tall man, wearing some light leather armor, and a red cape sat relaxed in a chair, at a table in the base floor of an Inn, which happened to double as a bar, so it would probably be more of a Pub than anything, but no-matter. He was slightly leaned back in his chair, and had one of his legs up and crossed over the top of the other. He was slowly and contently sipping a cup of tea that he had ordered, which he had been doing for rougly an hour now, waking up and coming down here even though the sun hadn't yet risen. His scythe was leaning on the chair, the blade hanging just above his head, and the arm directly to the left of him, so he could easily grab it if need be. This man was Magus. Magus noticed two... Leosapiens, a species of which he had a bit of knowledge on, across the room. Magus couldn't help but chuckle when he saw one of them, the only one that was there when it happened, drinking from a bucket like a glass or a cup. At this time, Magus had finished his cup of tea, and set it down, now more intrigued by this... man? Lion? Lionman? and continued watching as another Leospaien came down, presumably... his wife?... maybe? Yet again, Magus couldn't help but chuckle when the Lionman and Lionwoman addressed someone at the door, Alliaster, the demon king who'd been recruiting people to fight the... er... True Demons, as "Your Highness" even though it was very unlikely that they actually resided under the area he reigned. Magus put his hands on the table to help lift him up, still chuckling, he grabbed his Scythe, still chuckling, now turning into more of a laugh. He started to walk over in the direction of the... interesting group that had gathered at the doorway, STILL laughing as he did so, shaking his head as well.

Lunar Origins Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 "Hey Luna! Are you ready yet?" Catherine peered into the doorway that led to the interior of Luna's room. "Geez, it sure does take you a long time to get dressed. There really is no point in getting all-" Catherine was cut off by the sight of her sister; she had donned an exquisite dress instead of her usual attire, an overcoat and only the 'essential' clothing underneath. "Luna, you look marvelous! Not as good as me, but still..." Catherine let out a small laugh. "You really think so, Catherine?" Luna walked over to her sibling and hugged her, picking her up off the ground as she did so. "I just felt the need to look nice... This would be my first time seeing Alliaster in a couple of months." Luna gently let Catherine down. "Do you think I'm overdoing it?" She asked eagerly. "No, no you're fine, Luna. But..." Catherine stood on her toes and reached up to Luna's forehead, brushing a small bit of hair out of the way. "There, all better." Catherine smiled up at her sister, whom had a good three or four inches on her. "You speak of this Alliaster boy all of the time! I bet he's one hell of a guy. King, too! You're lucky too have met him." Luna felt a little disheartened when her sister had said 'lucky'. Lucky was the absolute worst way to describe her situation with Alliaster, but her sister knew nothing about that. "Yeah, I guess you could say I was lucky in meeting him.. Anyways, you'd best be watch your tone around him, Catherine." She barked this out quickly, as if making a good attempt at changing the subject. "I swear that I will kill you if misbehave around the King." Luna was actually trying to be serious, but it came out a bit more silly than she had intended. "Oh, Luna, you know me. Always kissing up to those in higher power, hmm?" Catherine laughed again. "Anyways, I think we should head out. We don't want to keep your King waiting, after all." Luna agreed, and they stepped out of her room. The sisters their way through the winding halls of the Solen house, and after about 10 minutes of walking they had arrived outside. "Luna, Do you think you could do that thing again? You know, where you speed yourself up using magic? Would it work for the both of us?" Luna frowned, then took Catherine by the hand. "It's worth a shot, I guess." She concentrated the magic surrounding them both, manipulating it to her will- she had gained the useful ability of generating a near infinite field of mana around her, something that was extremely uncommon for any entity with an affinity for magic! She compressed all of the energies surrounding them to a small point beneath there feat, but also making sure it would be large enough for the both of them. "I think we can do this." She looked in the direction of the inn and focused in on the image of Alliaster, his black wings being her prime target. She took a step, nearly dragging Catherine with her, and within an instant they made it to their target, safe and sound. Well, almost. The crashed directly into the western side of the inn, putting a large dent in it and splintering wood every which way. Luna fell on the ground, mostly dazed but not hurt, while Catherine hadn't moved from her position of the crash. "Ah... well, I think I miscalculated the trajectory..." Luna said to herself, a small grin crossing her mouth as she did so. [i] 'I really hope my dress isn't dirty...'[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Arielle jumped away from the two sisters who crashed into the side of the inn, shrieking a little from the shock. It's not every day you see a pair of girls smack right into the side of an inn. In fact, it's not any day you see that. Her shock was perfectly understandable. And what stunned her more is that one of them was smiling? [i]"Erm, are you two okay?"[/i] She asked the dissy pair, Arielle's nuturing side getting the best of her. Kneeling down, she looked at the two...they must have been sisters, they looked very alike. She brushed their messed up from from the crash out of their hair. Leandros, chuckling a little, smiled at the pair. [b]"Wow, you sure went fast girls, I hope that smack didn't kill you!"[/b] He knew they were okay, not only was one of them speaking, she was smiling too, so she was either okay...or a little messed up in the head. But Leandros didn't mind. Along with Arielle, they lifted the pair of sisters to their feet and brushed them off...well, Arielle did, she pushed Leandros away due to his claws. [i]"Sorry honey, but you know I can't let you do delicate things with those paws."[/i] She said to her husband. However, Leandros spotted the tall man with the scythe laughing, pressumably at the unfolding events. [b]"Am I correct saying you're one of those invited about the True Demon issue? Oh, I apologize, where are my manners. I am Chieftain Leandros of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe, from the nation of Beasts. And that Lioness..."[/b] He said as he pointed out Arielle, who now was brushing the girls hair to it's former splendid standard. [b]"...is my wife, the Muchaar of the tribe; Arielle."[/b] Then turning back to the tall muscular man, he said [b]"I'm glad to see there's another tough fighter on our side, that scythe of yours looks rather magnificent if I say so myself. May I know your name?"[/b] Arielle, looked over at Leandros to ensure he was on his best behaviour, smilling contently as he was, then turned to the two girls again. [i]"I do hope you two are alright. I'm Arielle, charmed to meet you both!"[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Magus calmed down when the Lionman began to speak to him, "Yeah, you might say that's what one reason why I'm here," Magus told him, [i]'Though I could care less about the True Demons, why should I anyway?' [/i]Magus thought, "Ah yes, my name. You may call me Magus" he told the Lionman. Now Magus turned his head to where the two girls had crashed into the wall, he sighed and shook his head, then turned again and noticed a dragon at the door as well, presumably also with the prince. [i]'Amazing, my 'Teammates' so far consist of two leosapiens, a demon prince, two annoying looking young girls, and a dragon. Maybe I'll be able to ignore them'[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Catherine hadn't the slightest clue where she and her sister had ended up; the entire journey had left her a little more than dazed and confused. After the lioness- no, the technical term was a 'Leo-Sapien', if she remembered correctly- helped her up and brushed the various flecks of dirt off of her usual dress, Catherine made a small bow in her direction, then a bow to the male leo-sapien. [color=#006400]"The smack didn't harm me in any way, shape, or form. I have Luna to thank for that-"[/color] she gestured towards her sister, whose hair was in quite a mess even after the Lioness had attempted to fix it. [color=#006400]"- but I also have her to blame. Luna, I thought you knew what you were doing!"[/color] Luna, used to these sort of happenings, still wore a smile. [color=#000080]"Ah, I apologize sister. I've not done that in a long time, and it seems I've lost my touch."[/color] Her smile faded away. She looked back at the lioness, whom requested that they say their names. [color=#000080]"My name is Luna, and this is my sister Catherine. We are of the Solen family. It is a pleasure to meet you!"[/color] Luna put a bit of enthusiasm into her voice; things could have been much worse than they already were. She looked down at her dress. Various tears littered the surface, and splinters of wood had lodged themselves in other places. [color=#000080][i]'Damn... I guess this was a lost cause from the start...'[/i][/color] -- Whilst Luna was introducing the two of them, Catherine had started to survey the damage done to the inn. The surface that they had crashed in had nearly completely caved in, and the innkeeper had already made his way out to get a good glimpse of what was going on. [color=#a52a2a]"What in the name ov the King is goin' on?!"[/color] He complained. [color=#a52a2a]"Oi, you with the dress! Did you do this?"[/color] The innkeeper inquired, a bit of anger in his voice. Catherine rolled her eyes at the man. [color=#006400]"Me? No, it was like this when I arrived! Why don't you just go back inside? We can tend to the damage if you want, sir."[/color] She suggested, putting great emphasis into her command. The innkeeper scratched his head, then turned back to the inn and waddled back inside, a bit confused but nevertheless convinced that none of that was any of his concern. -- After finishing her talk with the Lioness, Luna had began to look around for the others that were called to meet here... specifically looking for Alliaster, to be exact. [color=#000080]"So, we have the beast-people... no offence intended, a really tall guy with a scythe..."[/color] Her eyes met with those of Akarui. [color=#000080] "Akarui! I haven't seen you in ages!"[/color] She ran towards the dragon and threw her arms around him, or what she could actually fit her arms around, in a firm embrace. [color=#000080]"I did miss you."[/color] She let go and turned her eyes to Alliaster, who looked absolutely splendid. The sight of him, however, disheartened her a little. [color=#000080]"Hello, Alliaster. Long time, no see. How have you been since our endeavors against Keiz?"[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Gamesmaster Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 She remembered it like it was yesterday. All she'd been doing was sorting out books in the library. She'd almost finished, and she'd very much wanted a nice cup of tea. Then she found, much to her dismay, that the near wall was on fire. She'd only been dimly aware of the people about her running and screaming. She was mainly concerned with stopping the books from catching fire. She'd darted about, throwing a water spell here and a fire ward there, and before she knew it, not only was the library without walls, she was staring down a big black thing with horns that seemed to be on fire. She'd never been very good at staring contests, so she threw up a few wards and ran for her life. The black thing didn't think much of her wards. It towered over her, ready to kill her at any moment. That wasn't the bit she remembered. The memorable part was when the spaceship fell out of the sky and crushed the black demon like the house from [i]The Magus of Zard[/i] (which, most people didn't know, was only the beginning of a fourteen-book series). A strange man with green-and-grey skin stepped out of the spaceship and looked her in the eye. "Arthracia Dent?" he'd asked. "Yes?" she'd said, warily. He looked at her sharply and said, "You're a lead-witted little bugger. I hope you know that." By the time Thraci had recovered her senses, the strange man had walked back into his spaceship and taken off, mumbling something about an Arth'r-a Cia-denu from Imbeligon XVI. Poor bewildered Thraci simply walked away. *** That was last week. She'd found her way to an inn since then. She was soon joined by a number of colourful characters that would have had her staring on an ordinary day, including two (!) people with scythes, a leo-sapient couple, a beautiful girl about her age, and a dragon. Thraci, however, was still stumped by the green-grey alien and his insult. What did "bugger" even mean, anyway? She sighed and put the matter out of her head. She'd have to find a job soon, or she wouldn't be able to afford tea. Such as the stuff she was drinking now. She took a sip, resolving to look around for a place to work once she finished her meal.

Kyng's Old Account Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Getting the names of the two sisters, Arielle smiled sincerely, the duo were adorable, really close together. They truly showed how strong their bond between eachother was, and it made her heart feel warm inside. She wishe she was this close with her sisters, however due to their completely different vocations, they spent little time together and thus she knew little of them. She was a little disapointed her attempts to fix their hair failed on her, but it seemed the two were more than happy. She was a little distracted by the innkeeper, but ignored him. [i]"Ah, Luna and Catherine! Those sound like beautiful names, though quite exotic, but I suppose that's bound to happen, especially if we come from different nations!"[/i] Arielle spoke, letting out a gentle chuckle as she watched Luna then address who was there. [i]"No offence taken, we're Leo-Sapiens, but beast people does address us quite fittingly."[/i] she said with a cheery smile. Leandros pulled a confident smile as Magus revealed his name. [b]"Magus! Well, a pleasure to meet you, I hope we can be good friends!"[/b]. Leandros knew that, if these demons were as destructive as Alliaster, or someone on his behalf, wrote, well allies were the best things possible. And from first glance, he knew with Magus the True Demons themselves would have a challenge. Alliaster's side had three brutes, powerhouses who were each strong in special manners; and the other, less obvious yet powerful members each possessed traits that would certainly compliment eachother's attacks and techniques. The innkeeper's voice was slightly aggrivating to him, the anger in his voice, but he ignored it. Catherine seemed to have dealt with it anyway. Luna, on the other hand, had seemed to know the dragon, whom was named Akarui, and of course the Demon King Alliaster. [b]"Pardon me Magus, I'm going to see what's all the noise."[/b] He said with a nod to the tall man, and then he walked over to Arielle and Catherine, sticking out like a sore thumb due to his height and...well, his everything. Arielle spotted her husband and decided to fill him in. [i]"The two girls are named Luna and Catherine respectively, then we have the Dragon named Akarui, and of course King Alliaster."[/i] She whispered, unsure if to speak normally in response to Luna and Alliaster's...meeting. She couldn' tell what she was feeling. Leandros, deciding to copy his wife, whispered [b]"That's good, the tall man with the scythe is named Magus. That's all I really know."[/b] Arielle then nodded, followed by asking Catherine [i]"What's going on?"[/i], to which Leandros watched as Luna and Alliaster met after such a long time. The Leo-Sapiens, possibly like others, were unaware of the history Luna and Alliaster shared, but it wasn't a history anyone would like to relive. Ever.

The White Wolf Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Akarui gave a quiet growl of approval to Luna as he landed with her arms around his thick neck. Also a little..... mad that no else greeted him, he let out a loud, threatening roar in response to the others, obviously well, mad. He cleared his throat afterwards, transmitting his thoughts to every one [color=#ff0000]"It's funny how only one of you acknowledged my being here."[/color] Akarui stated, rubbing in how even if Alliaster is the king, Akarui also deserves some recognition for being one of his race. Mumbles that were impossible to interpret began being transmitted as well, but became quieter as Akarui withdrew his mind from everyone else's.

Grunt Issun Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 "Yes. Good friends" Magus repeated, though he knew that would likely never happen. He had started to clear his mind to build up his reserve magic in the case that any true demons might attack them, but just then, the dragon roared and started transmitting it's angry thoughts to him and apparently everyone else. Magus glared at the dragon, "Hush dragon!" he shouted at it commandingly, "I have my own reasons for speaking to you before, even though I noticed you, how could I not, you're eight feet tall and eight feet wide at least!" Magus said, "Now, I need to return to my clear mind state, in case any more Demons attack, so I can destroy them with my magic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Leandros wasn't used to telepathy, and upon hearing Akarui's voice boom in his head, he growled a little thinking some sort of monster was trying to put a spell on him. He was a little on edge, looking left and right with intensely sharp eyes, a hunting instinct, trying to find a scent of where the voice possibly could have came from. Not only was the voice telepathy, it was also agry, and that's what made Leandros go onto guard. He lowered it as Arielle took his hand, tapping him on the head adoringly and explained to him. [i]"Leandros, darling, don't worry. It's only that Dragon speaking to you through your mind."[/i] And then Leandros saw the majestic being, though not as majestic due to being a little under appreciated. Though most of the Nation of Beasts knew little or nothing about factual information on dragons due to their rarity, they did know of stories. Leandros wasn't one, but just the sight of Akarui had placed him in awe. [b]"Wow...a dragon."[/b] He said as he watched him. [i]"He has a name, Akarui."[/i] Arielle said gently as she released Leandros' hand and walked closer to Akarui, bowing her head to him. [i]"I apologize, mighty Dragon, we were distracted by other issues, and thus couldn't give you the attention you deserved. My name is Arielle, this is my husband Leandros."[/i] She said introducing the Lion, who was still in awe of the dragon. [i]"He is the Chieftain of the Pectouru Leonis Tribe, I am his Muchaar. Then we have this gentleman over there..."[/i] Arielle then turned towards Magus and said [i]"Magus, is it? Well, I certainly am charmed to be able to meet such a wonderful group of beings."[/i], smiling at the large induvidual and looking at the others with her smile, seeming very happy with the people she had met. Leandros nodded, agreeing with her statement. [b]"You're always good with words, dear."[/b] He said as he walked up to the dragon himself. [b]"May I ask, I am a Chieftain of a Trie within a Nation who knows little of your species. And we Leo-Sapiens have a natural hunger for knowledge. Could you offer me insight about Dragons, Akarui?"[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Wolf Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 [color=#ff0000]"I wish I could, but being born hundreds of thousands of years ago and being reincarnated twice has left my memory from the past a little unreliable, if you will."[/color] Akarui transmitted to Leandros [color=#ff0000]"But, I do believe I am the last of my race."[/color] Akarui transmitted to everyone that time. Leaving his mind in the connection in case Leandros would wish to use the mental link to get used to telepathy, but first he withdrew from everyone else then only linked to Magus [color=#ff0000]"And you, you are quite fortunate I don't swallow you whole right now."[/color] Akarui stated with a growl looking directly at him, then returning the connection to everyone.

Grunt Issun Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Magus raised an eyebrow at the dragon, "Is that so? I'm lucky you aren't swallowing me whole right now?" Magus repeated aloud, relaying the message to the group, now with a bit of a smile on his face"Well you, dragon, are lucky that I'm not wearing you as a chest plate" Magus told the dragon, and clutched his scythe tighter in his right arm, "And listen here dragon, I truly couldn't care less if you were the last of your race. Keep talking like that and dragons may be more than endangered" Magus warned him, still aloud, "But so long as you act like a good little dragon, we should get along fine" he finished, still with that same smile.

Supreme Gamesmaster Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Watching the pompous man with the scythe argue with the dragon was like watching two very dangerous chipmunks try to see which could out-shriek the other -- incredibly annoying, painful to the ears, and liable to end in death or injury. By the time she realized that she'd just seen a dragon, Thraci had already picked up her tea and walked out of the inn, desperate to get away from the idiot with the scythe. [i]Wh -- dragon?![/i] The man could be bluffing. But then again, he was huge. And either he was telepathic or the man with the scythe was schizophrenic. ...actually, that second one could very well be true. And there was still scythe-boy. Even for the opportunity to see a dragon in action, Thraci wouldn't dare go back and watch him. ...even though he was the last one. ...even though this was an opportunity the likes of which would never come her way again. ...even though she'd be kicking herself for the rest of her life if she didn't go back and see the dragon in action (hopefully eating scythe-boy). [i]Oh, fine. I have to give the cup back, anyway[/i]. Thraci sighed and walked back into the inn, resuming her seat and taking another sip at her tea. This could take a while.

Elƒie Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Alliaster smiled to Akarui as he appeared. We was about to respond to him when two Leo-sapiens stepped out. He bowed back to the two. [color=#008080]"It's nice to meet you.. I'm Alliaster, King of the Demon nation.."[/color] He shook his head slightly as he called himself King. He hadn't been king for an hour and the castle and most of the city was destroyed by Vincent. [color=#008080]"I'm glad you two ca-"[/color] he was cut off when two females crashed into the inn. [color=#008080]"What in the he-"[/color] he stopped talking once more once he seen Luna and what looked to be a sister or hers. He blushed for a quick moment when he seen the dress Luna was in. Sure, it had be ruined from the crash, but enough was left behind to allow him to imagine what it had looked like before the crash. He shook his head as Luna hugged Akarui, trying to get his composure back. [color=#008080]"Its uh.. Nice to see you again Luna.. Its been a while.. Things have been... lively since Keiz.. Akarui has been growing fast, he's already a year old, hard to beleive.. Then there were those riots.. And then came along Vincent and that... True Demon.. I'm glad to see that you and your... sister, I presume, are alright."[/color] He couldn't help but smile at Luna. It hadn't been 5 minutes since she arrived and she already crashed into something. Then Alliaster turned his attention to this Magus character. [color=#008080]"Listen here, Magus, correct? I appreciate you helping out with this fight against Vincent and the True Demons but I won't tolerate you threatening my friends. So if you will, please calm yourself. And you, Akarui,"[/color] he then looked to Akarui, [color=#008080]"threatening to eat people isn't helping."[/color] Alliaster then turned his head to the right, spotting another person heading there way. [color=#008080]"Hello.. Have you come to join the fight?" [/color]he then blinked as the person quickly retreated into the inn. [color=#00ffff]'Is she okay?'[/color] he thought.

Grunt Issun Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Magus grumbled something with a frown now that Alliaster had spoken up, "Don't appreciate anything, boy" Magus told the Demon, "I could care less what happens with any of you, or anyone else due to the True Demons and Vincent, everything could fall for all I care" Magus admitted, "I have my own reasons for doing this, and helping people ISN'T one of them" he explained, then he turned away from the group, [i]'I'd much rather just skip all of this and go straight to the last step, but if I don't do this, then the end result won't be as good' [/i]Magus thought a little bitterly, already disliking almost everyone in this group for one reason or another.

Admiral_Stalfos19 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 [color=#000000]Countess Noah Lyman lay on her coffin in her room, still deeply thinking about Keiz. She couldn't help but wonder of the things she did with him. But at the same time, she was well aware that this was all in the past. Sighing, she got up and walked all the way over to Alliaster.[/color] [color=#4b0082]"Hey, you don't happen to be finishing do you?"[/color][color=#000000] Noah whispered to him, [/color][color=#4b0082]"Because... well, there's something you need to know,"[/color] [color=#000000]Noah was hoping that Alliaster would understanding this something, even if it did directly concern Keiz. Noah had to try to talk to him, even if she [i]was[/i] in fact interrupting the others. They weren't important to her right now.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Arielle and Leandros both stood blankly as the dragon bickered with Magus, which they both felt was getting a little out of control. And the pair both let out sighs of relief as the King of the Demon Nation resolved it, or they hoped. He sounded stern, but could he back it up? Arielle was holding onto Leandros' arm tightly a little scared of what could happen between the two forces. Leandros stood tall, watching them closely, both lowered his guard again, holding his wife nd cuddling her waist as he said [b]"It's fine, we should jus leave them be, let them cool off, you know?"[/b] Arielle nodded, her gentle and soft voice still a little frightened by the two. She took a deep breath as she summed up the courage to say [i]"Alliaster, these Demons, what exactly "are" they? You said they are True Demons, but our tribe has never experienced what you claim to have seen. Should we be worried?"[/i] Leandros, to this, looked to Arielle and said [b]"No, Azazel is strong, he'll guide our people to safety even if the land is lost."[/b] Arielle then hugged her husband tightly and said with a whimper [i]"But what about us, all of us?"[/i] She looked up to is eyes with her's, filled with worry. [b]"We'll be fine, trust me."[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elƒie Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Alliaster turned to Arielle and frowned a little. [color=#008080]"I'm not entirely sure myself.. Its what Vincent called the one that attacked.. I scavenged what was left from the library at the castle and so far.. I beleive them to be Demons from ancestral times... Pure-blooded Demons from long before our ancestors... 'mingled' with human before they became scare.. Apparently, most of the demons didn't approve of this and began killing people left and right.. A group of fighters rose up and did what they could to defeat the demons.. But their numbers were few so they had to resort to sealing the demons away in another dimension.. And somehow.. Vincent has found a way to seal them.. Now he wishes to destroy the world.. For what reasons, I'm not sure.."[/color] He then turned to Noah and listened. He looked to the others. [color=#008080]"Will you excuse us for a moment?"[/color] He put his hand on Noah's shoulder and lead her a distance from the others. [color=#008080]"Is something wrong?"[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Catherine had taken Luna's place in answering the Leo-Sapiens questions. "Yeah, the names are quite exotic.... The Solen family has always had a knack for naming their children after something suspicious." Catherine thought over her own name for a moment- it meant a variety of things, but the one that stood out the most to her was... torture. She shuddered. "Yes, names are curious things, but-" She was cut off when a deep, rumbling voice echoed through her head. Confused, she tried to track the nature of the voice to its owner... and quickly realized that it was only the dragon, responding to Luna when she had hugged him. She heard the overgrown lizard give a growl of what sounded like affection as she did so. "Aww, how sweet. The dragon has a soft spot for my sister." She let out a small chuckle, finding that statement quite funny. The dragon, after Luna had hugged him and left for Alliaster, had then started to argue with the tall man who had a scythe- he referred to himself as Magus, another exotic name. the two exchanged threats, but she doubted that either of them would actually be at each others throats with the Demon King around. "Looks like we've found the children of the group. Now to find the parents." -- Luna threw her arms around Alliaster as soon as he took notice of her. "Alliaster... I've missed you..." She let go of him, nearly blushing. "Yes, she-" Luna pointed towards Catherine, whom had a look of annoyance on her face. "-is my sister, Catherine. She's been taking care of me ever since the incident involving Keiz." Her happy tone took a significant droop as she approached the word Keiz; admittedly, she harbored no ill feelings towards the former King. Luna knew that he had ruled as a tyrant, but she also knew that he ruled in such a way that kept things running pretty smoothly. She had even thought that it might of been better just to leave him on the throne... but it was not his rightful place. She also knew that. "Alliaster, I know that I've taken something away from you that I can never replace." Luna said, under her breath so that only Alliaster could hear. "I'll follow you through on this journey, and if the need arises I will give my life to protect you. Don't you dare try to stop me, too." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Stalfos19 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 [color=#4b0082]"No! ...yes,"[/color][color=#000000] Noah admitted nervously, taking a big gulp in between, [/color][color=#4b0082]"I... I think I'm pregnant, and... I don't know how to make this sound any less awkward, so I might as well come out with it, but... I'm the father."[/color] [color=#000000]Keiz was the first person to be unconcerned about the realization that Noah wasn't in fact a true woman, but an hermaphrodite. Perhaps this was why Noah fell in love with him in the first place, and if so, it would certainly explain why she was so distraught about his death. If only Noah was there with Keiz when he died... but then she would've likely died as well. Noah sighed again.[/color] [color=#4b0082]"I... guess you know what that means..."[/color][color=#000000] she added sorrowfully. All of a sudden, another familiar face had come out of nowhere and hugged Alliaster. Noah recognized this girl as the one who killed his mother, and was a little pissed off with the death herself. Then again, it was her desire to find the murderer and make him or her pay for it that lead her to meet Keiz for the first time in the first place.[/color] [color=#4b0082]"If only Keiz was here,"[/color][color=#000000] she spoke quietly, but not quietly enough for Alliaster to be unable to hear.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Arielle still couldn't pin down Luna, was it love or guilt? Her hug could have meant something, but then after what she had said, Arielle thought it was possible that the two shared a little bit of bad history together. She didn't know, she couldn't pinpoint it, but she cold sense something. She didn't know anything of what Luna had taken away from him, but she was interested. However, from the look of Luna's face, she could identify it wasn't a pleasant history. So, she walked up to the couple and said [i]"Sorry if I am interrupting, really, I do apologize, but is there something going on here we should kn-MMPH!"[/i] At that time, Leandros placed his hand over Arielle's mouth and dragged her away from the couple, who immediately frowned at his, hissing a little. [b]"Hey, that's none of our business, so let's keep out of it."[/b] He said as he released her. Arielle was furious with him, however, but had a knack for not rising to the occasion. [i]"Alright...fine."/[i] She said with a sigh and a pout, sitting down in the dirt. Leandros looked at her attempt, ad he said [b]"Now don't try doing that cute look of your's. We both need to know about private business. Besides..."[/b] Then he sat down next to her, rubbin her stomach gently with a soft smile. [b]"...we want our child to have a good role model. She'll need a good mom, and a good dad, to be a wonderful daughter and my heiress."[/b] To this Arielle smilled, and layed on Leandros' broad shoulder as she looked into his yellow eyes. [i]"Someday, it'll happen for us."[/i] and she kissed his cheek softly with an adoring smile as Leandros smiled back in return. [b]"Someday, it will."[/b] He nodded as he watched the events unfold, eager to begin what they had came here to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elƒie Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 [color=#008080]"How- Oh! That's right, you're a hermaphrodite.. If you're pregnant, are you sure you want to join in with the fighting? It could put the child in danger..."[/color] He looked to Noah concerned. He had no ill-will towards her, even though she sided with Keiz briefly. Mainly because he had a hunch that Noah had feelings for Keiz, and well, love rules over all. Alliaster knows this just as well as anyone else who's ever been in love. Then, as if Luna knew what he was thinking, suddenly hugged Alliaster. He couldn't stop himself from blushing. His blush went away as Luna whispered to him, "I'll follow you through on this journey, and if the need arises I will give my life to protect you. Don't you dare try to stop me, too." He placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her straight in the eye. [color=#008080]"I will dare to stop you.. Listen.. I, uh..."[/color] he looked away for a moment, a blush appearing for a quick second, before he looked back at Luna, [color=#008080]"Listen, I've forgiven you for what Keiz ordered you to do.. So please, stopping beating yourself over it.."[/color] Alliaster then blinked rapidly as Ariella stepped over, wanting to know what was going on when Leandros stepping and dragged her away. He couldn't help but chuckle at this. [color=#008080]"Looks like curiosity.. Never mind, I don't want to get mauled so soon."[/color] He then looked back at Luna with a smile. [color=#008080]"Listen.. The last thing I need right now is another lose.. So please, don't get yourself killed over me.."[/color] Alliaster then turned his attention to the group. [color=#008080]"Alright.. It seems that everyone who's going to fight has joined.. Shall we get on with our journey? Our first stop should be the Angel Nation's portal.. It the closest one to our current location.."[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
