Dragonsouls II - The Fall of Ra (Sign-ups, five chars spare if anyone wants...)

[Weasel Overlord]

Dragonsouls II -The Fall of Ra. (Sign-ups)

The prophecy of the Fire Children has been fulfilled….

The Fire Children have been disbanded…

The twin Dragons, Sastrugen and Tarasque have been joined together in a horrific experiment…

In a hopeless bid to fulfil a mistranslated prophecy, the Fire Children took the lives of Soul-Twinned Dragons, and made them one with each other, creating something that has not been seen for an age…

The Phoenix, Rhama. A joining of power that should never be joined…

But it was foretold …Foretold that the Sun God would fall, and that the Phoenix would need a source of great power to bring about its rebirth...

When the Phoenix of Egypt rises again
The God of the Sun will be no more.
Rhama will find a pairing of Dragons
And will rise again from their ashes.

When the Phoenix of Egypt rises again
He will no longer be alone.
Together with Dragons,
Paired as one,
They will uncover the world from its icy threat,
And the God of the Sun will rise again.

Rhama himself spoke to the Wind Riders in the temple of the decimated Fire Children...

“Great Wind Riders and Dragons. I need you. More importantly, the great Sun God, Ra himself needs you. His power is waning, but not of natural causes. An enemy, somewhere, is draining the power of the Sun God and I have had to seek other ways of rebirth. This should not be. If this mysterious enemy succeeds, it is not only I that will suffer. The earth will suffer, for with no sun, there can be no life, and the human race will die out. Leaving only the plants and creatures to die agonisingly slowly from a lack of light and food. This is why you are needed.

Unfortunately, I only have limited information about this mysterious threat. Whoever it is, they are male, and a mage of truly great power. He possesses the power of ice and cold, similar to that of Yxe and the former Sastrugen and he makes his home on the frozen tundra of the South Pole.
You must first seek the help of the worshippers of Ra. They are few but their skills are unmatched in both battle and magic. They will help you. These worshippers do not come in a form that you have experienced before, but have faith in their skills.
This will be a hard task, but you must eradicate this new threat. First, go to the Pyramids of Egypt, there you will find the worshippers of Ra. There is one among you who knows this place, he will guide you.

For now, that is all I can tell you.”

------------------------------------------------------------

The worshippers of Ra are Lycanthropes, or Shapeshifters, but they do not take the form of the Wolf like the Lycanthropes of legend. They choose to take the shape of creatures they see as being close to Ra, usually birds of prey, but the actual choice is up to the player! The Shapeshifters have their own form of magic that is very powerful. More powerful even, than that of the Fire Children Elders. They have the magic of the soul; the Lycanthropes offer their own energy in return for power. However, this magic can only be accessed in the animal form, when the Lycanthropes are at their most powerful. Spells are shielding spells, attacking spells, passive spells and healing spells.

Shielding spells: Well, these create shields! Surprisingly! Depending on the characters power, these can cover either one person or a whole group.

Attacking spells: Offensive. Choice of; magic missiles (fire balls etc. these only target one person), multiple targeting (hits multiple targets! Like a wall of fire engulfs the enemy, etc.)

Passive spells: Cause no damage, but positive effects to allies and the caster or negative effects to enemies (Blinding flash of light to blind enemies, increased agility in allies etc.)

Healing spells: (heals! Either one person or whole groups, depending on the power of the caster!)

A character can choose to specialise either in magic or in combat. However, mage characters cannot use weapons and combat specialists cannot use magic.

------------------------------------------

We start in the ruins of the Fire Children temple. Background to the original story can be found here (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=33210) , for those who are new, and for those who aren’t, you all know your chars and their abilities, but I’d still like everyone to post their sign-up form, for the new people! And for new people, you don't have to read all the posts on the link! Just the background...

My Sign-up.

Wind Rider.

Name: Yxe.
Sex: Male.
Age: 18.
Steed: Sastrugen of the Snow, now joined with Tarasque, in the form of Rhama, the Phoenix of the Sun God.
Affinity: Snow arrow-The arrowheads frost over during flight, thus making the resulting wound heal much slower.
Ice blade-The blades of his throwing knives resemble icicles and are much harder for the wounded to remove.
Appearance: He has medium-length hair in a rich chestnut brown colour. Yxe usually has his fringe swept to one side, the left, and his hair is quite messy at the back. He has one long plait behind his ear that reaches to his shoulder, twined with pure white ribbons and feathers at the bottom. The ribbon is plaited in with his hair and he wears a single silver bead just above the feathers, holding them in place.
His eyes are a pale, frosty blue colour, mostly devoid of emotion unless he is in the company of Minh, his love and soul-mate, when they have a sparkle to them.
Most of the time, Yxe wears simple riding gear in pure white-linen pants and a simple tunic, tied at the waist with a silver belt. The belt is lined with a set of throwing knives, all with identical diamond pommels and bleached bone, hiltless handles. Over his shoulder he carries a longbow and at his waist, attached to his belt is a quiver of arrows.
His clothes are fur-lined because of Sastrugen’s cold and he wears white, fur-topped riding boots.
Personality: Yxe resembles Sastrugen in personality, in that he is quite cold and distant-seeming, but he has a warm heart. He loves the cold of his home and if he is anywhere else he feels too warm and quite ill at ease.
He is gentle but absolutely ferocious when roused. However, after his loss of Sastrugen, he has become melancholy and more prone to silence than usual.
He rarely laughs and is very soft-spoken when he decides to talk, which isn’t often.
Weapon(s): Piercing throwing knives with diamond pommels and bleached bone handles. These knives are very sharp and quite long, in fact, they are almost dirks but for an inch of so. They have excellent balance and Yxe rarely misses with them.
Piercing longbow and arrows.
In addition to his knives, Yxe also carries a longbow. It is white carved ash, very supple and extremely well-strung. His arrows are long with white feathered fletching and diamond-tipped arrowheads. The diamond only covers a fraction of the arrowheads but it is enough to make them deadly. Yxe is highly accurate, even with a moving target, as he trained as a Deepwood Sniper as a child. He never usually misses his targets with both longbow and knife.
Relationships: Yxe is in love with Tarasque’s Wind Rider-it’s something to do with the soul-twin thing. They aren’t related, just the Dragons are. Don’t worry, it’s nothing sick...
Other: He grew up with Deepwood Snipers and learned all of their skills before being Found by Sastrugen. The Snipers, finding him alone and orphaned, took him in, gave him one of their names and accepted him into their order of the Elite after seeing his innate skills with a longbow.

Mwaha! Time for more dragony goodness...



[Name]
Ignis Trucido
[Sex]
Male
[Age]
Eighteen
[Class]
Sorcerer (even though the class field doesn't exist...)
[Appearance]
Presentation - Ignis nearly reaches six feet in heighth, barely a centimeter or two short. His build isn't extremely muscled, but he has lean muscle enough from exercise, though it can't really be used for offensive purposes and rather is for endurance. His eyes are piercing silver that seem able to fathom the deepest thoughts in the world and holding intelligence unknown. His hair is cut chin length and covering his right eye, long black bangs that cover his entire white but clear skinned forehead. Usually messy and untidy, he prefers it this way to slicked down and stuck tight to his head in an organized fashion. Ignis's teeth are brilliantly white, but he smirks in a wolven way. He's lean and lithe, and couldn't be much more aerodynamic for a human. He wears silver face paint in the shape of a crescent moon. Ignis's moonstone implements are embedded on his palms and forehead, and gray with clouded centers. They are a pentagonal shape, and 2 cm on his palms, 1 cm on his forehead. These embedded gems are .3 cm thick.

Wear - Ignis's preferred dress is plain gray linen pants and a simple gray and black tunic, on special occasions he might dawn a silver robe that covers this and reaches nearly to the floor. When wearing his pants and tunic he can usually be seen with a black belt around the waist and a hooded cloak of black on with a silver clasp. His feet are clothed in comfortable, though hardy, black riding boots.

[Personality]
With his envy and the Fire Children disbanded, Ignis's attitude has changed only subtly. Ignis is a little more cold than he used to be and distant due to his newfound knowledge. He's wiser and snappier, quick of tounge and witty to the point where he all but silences all debaters. His genius has grown since the whole affair with Tarasque and though still relatively quiet and calm, he is no longer as afraid of speaking his mind. He's lost a bit of his open mindedness and developed a rigidity to any view that doesn't have decent support, less of a mediator but still able to negotiate with amazing charisma. Ignis remains patient and observant, alert to all happening around him, and growing in maturity to develop a personality that is unpredictable. The sinister tone in his voice may be the start of either growth... or corruption.

[Weapon]
Ignis's reflexes have developed even farther into precognition, able to to dodge and predict near all of his enemy's movements. He isn't quite the same ambidextrous fighter as before, a more graceful mage than ever.
[Speciality]
Agility and Magic, balanced.

[Powers]
Ignis executes his power through his moonstones of which have the annoying tendency to flash without warning lately. Of late, he seems to becoming more and more magically attuned and is showing a vast potential as a sorcerer.

Selfish Regeneration - Ignis's healing power has developed to regenerate wounds quicker when resting and allow instantaneous clotting of blood. He can survive fatal wounds if given time to heal.

Lucid Gust - Originally smoke, his power has developed into wind which can extinguish fire. He can crush an enemy or blow them back with this fierce breeze.

Instant Gratification - Ignis has developed his power a little more to allow near instantaneous transport. He still can't go much more than one hundred meters, but the teleportation is silent. It requires concentration if he moves more than a couple meters and a bit of energy which effectively prevents him from doing it vigorously.

Bird's Mentality - Ignis can control the consciousness of sentient beings by creating a cruel flash from the smaller moonstone on his forehead, disorienting or stunning an enemy with no memory of the incident for five minutes. He has developed a curious aptitude for the raven, which he can control to the extent that he can scout through his own pet raven's eyes. His raven goes by the name of Ode. He can also scry the location of any person in his memory in a reflective surface through meditation, and has heightened perception that allows him to sense things far out of the range of human aptitude. Repeated use of flash, scouting, or scrying can cause him to have severe headaches; a headache that strong hinders his ability to concentrate enough to cast spells.

Glacier Implement - Ignis draws a minimal amount of water from around him to create several icy shurikens of which he can throw with marksman aim and are rather deadly if they pierce the skin. Ignis can use the same water moisture to cloak himself in a reflective camoflauge that isn't invisibility but rather chameleon like in that he mirrors everything around him so he appears only as a slight shimmer if moving.

[Relationships]
Ignis has a crush on Sairi (with permission from B4).
[Other]
Ignis's previously ethereal voice has cracked and deepened to a more sinister tone, but contains the same talent and otherworld feel to rival the greatest tune of an uplifting Bard.
[History]
Ignis's mother, Glacia Trucido, was a devoted Fire Child for quite a time. His father Laq was a middle class citizen of Gaudeo, a small rural village. When a battle with a group of rebels opposing the Fire Children's cause occurred just outside the small wood near Gaudeo, Laq found Glacia wounded in a small clearing and taken for dead by the rest of her sect. Glacia bred a deep resent for her kind in her months spent nursed back to health in Laq's home in the wood near the village. She decided that she was never to go back, and would rather lead a newer simple life. A year later, Ignis was born and both his parents were proud but surprised by the eccentric moonstones embedded in his palms and the small one on his forehead. His mother new immediately of how he had a sorcerer's ability, and fled Gaudeo by night to leave her husband (whom she still loved) alone in his home. Despite her betrayal, Glacia had been one of the Fire Children's most skilled Sorceresses and she knew that if they discovered her child they would take him as their own. Fleeing through the wood, she encountered a fellow Fire Child near another battle scene that had once again arrived near Gaudeo, and she was struck down (her power had long ago waned when she settled) and True was taken despite her desperate effort to save him. Laq found Glacia's body later that day, and has sought Ignis ever since. Ignis, however, was raised thinking his parents were both Fire Child devotees that died honorably in battle with a Wind Rider.

After the escapade with Tarasque, Ignis has learned of his true parent's nature and would hate the Fire Children if they still existed. He's developed a resentment of Ra slightly since it was Affy's tears that brought back Sairi and not his, but he won't let this envy hinder him... hopefully. Recently he came upon a raven which allowed him the first discovery of his new bird aptitude, naming the corvidae Ode. He finds it ironic that Ra's birds are that of prey and that the raven is a scavenger.

[Arnen]

Yay! I ish back! :D

~Name: Eurythion of the Darkness
~Gender: Male
~Appearance: He's a slender medium/large dragon with midnight-black scales and an indigo underbelly. A ridge of long, thin spines run down his black from just below the base of the neck, with a space at the base of the head where Stephan can sit. He has two large horns on his forehead above each eye, each of which is scorched black bone like the spines. His wings are large and sport several tears, giving them a battered appearance. His tail is long and ends in an arrow shape like a devil's tail. His claws are serrated except for the innermost opposable ones on the front paws. He has a deep scar across his left eye. Said eyes are a glaring white color with no visible pupil or iris. They turn a cloudy deep grey when he's angry or about to breathe darkness.
~Personality: Usually silent and calculating, with a great taste for vengeance. He is often snide and vulgar in his speech, and is the type to finish something off without mercy. He rarely speaks kindly of others and never admits to his faults, because in his opinion he has none. He is also a terrible brat and an eternal pessimist -- silver lining never appeals to him. The only person he doesn't feel contempt toward is Stephan. Eurythion has little respect for life and generally thinks human beings are worthless sacks of flesh. He has a very quick temper and sometimes gets angry over small things, and can hold a grudge for centuries. When he gets pissed off, it's a good idea to run for the bomb shelter and stay there for a very long time.
~Element: Darkness
~Animal form: Raven
~Powers:
Dark Breath: His breath is pure darkness. This can function like a smokescreen as well as a weak acid.
Shadow Meld: He can blend in with shadows and virtually disappear.
Astral Project: He has the ability to leave his body and see and hear things far away, as well as spirits and other souls also lingering outside their bodies.
~Offense : Defense Ratio: 2:1
~Gem: Jet
~Other: His powers all work best at night. He can also see perfectly in the dark... does that count as a power? Cuz I can change one if need be.

~Name: Stephan (pronounced Steff-ON')
~Gender: Male
~Age: 18
~Steed: Eurythion
~Affinity: Darkness - Darkstrike (which, yes, I stole from Final Fantasy... Shaddup! XD) His blade turns completely black and darkness swirls around it. An enemy stricken by it will be either be surrounded by a smokescreen, or the wound with be laced with biting acid.
~Appearance: He's rather tall for his age (about 5'8"), and thin but not skinny. He has an athletic build, sort of muscular but not a lot. His hair is blonde, very curly, and hangs about shoulder-length. His eyes are a stunning shade of violet and framed by golden lashes. His eyebrows are very fine and also a gold color. His skin is quite pale and with little to no flaw. He dresses in elaborate 18th-century clothes (because he can, ha!): a black velvet frock coat with gold cuffs, a white satin shirt with lace at the neck and cuffs, black wool pants, and sturdy black boots. The rather overly-ornate sheath for his rapier hangs from a belt at his side.
~Personality: He's a stuck-up spoiled-rotten brat. He knows he's gorgeous and flaunts this endlessly. He acts the gentleman, but is vicious and cunning at heart. He is easily frustrated and can't stand to be put down or bettered. He can turn around a conversation to insult almost anyone he's talking to. He is very intelligent. Often times he will badly wound someone emotionally and not know it. Now with *gasp* more saracasm! OO;
~Weapon: He has an arm-length silver rapier with a large round jet stone at the base of the hilt, a teardrop-shaped jet in the middle of the hilt, and a pattern like > > [teardrop shape] in jet at the end of the blade to balance out the heavy hilt. The sheath is black leather.
~Relationships: Ha! *spits on relationships* Although he is rather, er, unfond (eh, I think I just made up a word) of Athanasius, who he STILL likes to call "the dirty hobo".
~Other: *poke poke other with rapier* He has a lilting French accent.

[Mystic_clown]

Could I reserve Marduk and the wind rider of Marduk please? I'll post as soon as possible.

[Weasel Overlord]

Nab and Mire, approved, of course! ;) Although the amount of spells for Ignis does seem to be a lttle large....I blame the length of the description, personally! However, if you could maybe cut the power of some of them just a little...I don't really want an uber character! You can still have five, though!

I've decided to take a Lycanthrope for myself...I'll make the number six, but as I'm taking one, there's still five for others!

And I'll reserve Marduk and Wind Rider for you, MC.

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Nab: Hehe! Yah, unfond is a word.. I think... And thanks for bothering to type out, 'Athanasius' xD Actually I like that name better than Affy.
WO: *salutes* Ave Imperator. Morituri te salutant. PS, Boss, check your PM's... I wanted to ask a bit about the plot and if I could add a weird character..

Re-signup

Dragon form.

Name: Beowulf
Sex: Male
Appearance: A very big dragon. Actually, the biggest one, since he's the oldest and everything. He's brown all over, muddy earthy earth brown, with greyish bits here and there, and the odd patch of lichen. If he isn't moving and closes his eyes (which are amber), he could qualify as a very big rock, or a small mountain range. Rather stocky, and obviously not built for quick movement. Beowulf has a single horn rising from his forehead, shaped like an obelisk. His tail ends in a club with very jagged-looking pieces of rocky spikes. His claws and teeth seem to be hewn out of solid rock; they're not particularly sharp, but meant more for crushing. His wingspan is immense, and his skin is very thick even by dragon standards, making him an effective siege weapon. When he rears up on his hind legs, he is exactly the kind of dragon kings would definitely not want to burn down their citadel.
Personality: Most of the time, he does everything slowly. Sarcasm, even in the bluntest form, doesn't work on Beowulf. He takes everything at face/word value. Rarely changes his mind about anything, and hard to convince. Relies heavily on others to make snap judgements for him, although he'll make his opinions heard if he does have any. Perfectly happy to hear his brothers and sisters squabbling in a loud manner; he figures it means they're all alive and functional. He likes living in secluded, uncivilised areas, where the only thing visible is the mountain range a couple of hundred miles away; it helps him think better and quicker - he literally derives his thought from the earth. To prove this, just lead him into a town, or any human settlement; you can actually see his eyeballs dimming as the brain cells evaporate away...
Element: Earth
Animal form: I thought, for a slow-blink-long-thought processor like Beowulf, something that looked equally slow but wouldn't cause too much comment... could he be a one-horned water-buffalo?? Or, by extension, any member of the bovine family..
Powers: Offense-defense ratio= 1:2
Earthquake~ Just what the name says. Magnitude is variable.
Club-everything-into-smithereens~ (Beowulf's really very slow) What the name says
Wall~ A thick wall, of whatever earthy material is most plentiful in the area (ex. mud/clay in a farming village, shale/loose rock in mountainous places), piles up around the targets. A defensive tactic. it also helps Beowulf to think.
Gem: Amber.
Other: He's really, really stupi- er, slow when he's in a town. Especially a town full of people milling round and confusing his thoughts.

Wind Rider form

Name: Athanasius Pound; most people, after attempts to remember his first name, eventually drift around to calling him 'oi, Pound' instead. The more creative prefer 'Affy'.
Sex: Male
Age: 24
Steed: Beowulf
Affinity: Earth. This does not apparently help him in fights, except that Affy always seems to have something rocky (or sand in the face, if he's in a sandy place, etc - it changes with the environment, though around buildings, it's almost always a brick) on hand to club them on the head with, even after they've very ostensibly taken away his sword. And when he actually hits someone with his crossbow, they always land on the ground. Hard.
Appearance: He's about 5'10", or 5'11", with a thin wiry build. He's generally scruffy and gives off the impression that he doesn't get enough hot meals. Complexion tends towards the tan side, with lots of scar tissue all over. His hair is a boring dull brown, straight and slightly too long to be called neat; he tries to comb it back with no visible results. Affy's eyes are nondescript brownish-green and his ears are a bit pointy, although he's certainly no elf. Often needs a shave.
He wears dusty, dark-coloured pants, held up with a belt and the regular cotton shirt, with sleeves rucked up to the elbow. Sometimes it's grubby white, sometimes it's pinstripe, or basically whatever he's got that's clean. He carries his sword on a wider belt of brown leather. His boots have seen better days. He's got a multipurpose long coat for when it's raining.
Personality: Of average intelligence, and can parse a few languages, though nothing too fancy. Athanasius usually picks up on things quickly, unless he's deliberately being stupid and wooden. He believes common sense is a necessity. Thinks and talks in straight lines, and it is very possible to piss him off. Has a bit of the philosophical cynic/pessimist in him. When he smiles, which is to say turns the corners of his mouth up, there's probably something bad happening. He's a bit more short-tempered and direct these days.
Weapon(s): His rather ordinary-looking sword that is nonetheless sharp has an amber grip. And the crossbow (rarely in use) is a normal-enough one with an amber catch; it's mostly there for threatening people. If possible, he'd rather settle things with good old-fashioned dirty street-fighting, or, in desperate situations, just running away.
Relationships: Returns the 'sympathies' of Stephan, likes Sairi (as a friend, presently), and is about 50% sure he knows why Ignis sometimes gives him funny, 'I-would-like-to-eat-you-but-I-can't' looks. (Does he??)
Other: Smokes. Still tries not to drink. (trying harder.) He likes the city, which gives him problems, what with Beowulf and all.

[Weasel Overlord]

*snigger* I like Affy more and more every time I read that sign-up! Approved, Emo-Faun! Oh, and check your PM's too! I have repled in the boredom of college! And i'm liking the title of 'Boss'...muchly!

[Vulpix.ck87]

Wahey! Just when we'd given up on the last one.. a super mondo shiny new one!! *hugs dragonsouls and gives WO a mock salute* Indeed :looney:

Hrmm.. Lycanthropes you say..? Intriguing..

Name: Djedkara Inarus (Nedjty-Ra) Neferkhau. But you can call him Djed [Jed].
Sex: Male
Age: 22
Appearance: Hmm.. Ruggedly handsome?? Though he’s easily 6'2", he’s not lanky at all. Instead he’s got a good build, not overly muscled but instead able to stand his ground very much so, whilst remaining quite lithe and athletic at the same time. Push this boy and he'll push you back. HARDER. Got that Sonny Jim??!? Anyway.. While his mother was a native Egyptian, his father was an American thief (or whatever passes for an American in your dragony little world O_o ), therefore he doesn’t have the typical Egyptian look. His skin is a bronzed cream-tan, slightly weather worn but still young n’ supple ^^. His hair - mostly cropped a mere two inches from his head and constantly windswept - was formerly light brown, yet is now a tawny golden blonde, bleached by the sun. His eyes are as dark as night, passionate, his mother’s eyes. He has bold, defiant features, but he is usually smiling in jest so his strong, gold-stubbled chin and general expression is softened. When focused on something he becomes infinitely more hawk like, his dark brow furrowed, eyes intense and his figure somehow more angular, as if ready to take flight.

He often wears an open cream linen shirt, ripped and torn as though by the wind itself, and a raggedy dark-brown linen kilt that reaches halfway down his thigh, though I have to mention that he DOES have underwear beneath it.. So don’t get too excited girls ¬_¬;; Other than that all he wears is a pair of thin sandals, made of woven rush and soled with leather. He might don a hooded cloak for ceremonies and the desert I suppose..
Personality: He’s two different people to be honest: (1) The tall, silent guy, respectful to the priests in the temples; polite, well spoken and direct. Quick, alert, intelligent and determined, if there’s a battle or a task at hand, he’ll go in there and he’ll get the job done. He worships Ra with all his heart, and doesn’t abuse his god given gift. On the other hand..
He’s guy (2): an amiable rogue who lived half his life as a street urchin after his mother passed away, and after his father passed on the family trade. He’s a bit of a scoundrel even after his, but he means well, and he cares deeply for those around him. He likes a good laugh, and enjoys flying more than anything in the world.
Animal form: Lanner falcon, rather larger than usual, looks like this: Lanner falcon 1 (http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~ripley/Photos/Raptors/img_2663_std.jpg) ; Lanner falcon 2 (http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~ripley/Photos/Raptors/img_2710_std.jpg) ; Lanner falcon 3 (http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~ripley/Photos/Raptors/img_2660_std.jpg) ~ Zoom in for full prettiness!!
Magic specialisation/combat specialisation: Combat
Weapon (if combat specialist) : He carries a halberd with him, like this (http://www.swords-n-stuff.com/pole/d-608.jpg) . Imagine the pole’s a bit longer and thicker, and imagine him wielding it in a menacing fashion :P
Force of the ancients - Channelling the strength of the gods gives the pole an unblockable force - bone shatteringly powerful.
Fever blade - The piercing halberd head flames with Ra’s fire and light, both temporarily blinding the opponent and, when the blade penetrates the skin, it cauterises the wound and inflicts a fever upon the foe within a matter of minutes.
Other: Noobly noobly noo…? Oh, um.. Nedjty-Ra means “Protector of Ra” :D That’s his rank in the Ra worshipping society ^^ I suppose there’s a temple of these guys or something??

Um, hope that's okay? I dinnae ken what you meant by moves, so i give him special magic weapon powers *shrugs* If you don't like it you can kiss his.. staff. halberd. whatever. IT'S A POLE, ISN'T IT??!?

I'll post Sigurd and siyann soon. Talk to you later, weasel-moo :wave:

p.s. can you explain more about the worshippers? Is there a temple, or a leader?? All i knows if were rather shifty and can be found near the pyramids..

[sesshomaru]

Reserve Tiamat for me please.And the wind rider of Tiamat.

[Weasel Overlord]

Wow...a protector of Ra...cool! And I congratulate you on managing to find a word that even I can't pronounce...
A temple...I see! Well, they can have a temple/pyramid sort of thing...My character is the current leader as such...

Name: (Ra-Harakhte) Pterissimon Tskairus (Ra harak-te Teris-imon Skire-uss)

Sex: Male

Age: 27

Appearance: Pterissimon has deep reddy brown hair, similar to the colour of a horse-chestnut/conker, and it is short. He wears it in sort of tufty spikes around his ears that stick up all over the place, like the rest of his hair, which makes him look like he’s been dragged through a rather spiky bush backwards.
He has dark browny hazel eyes with a touch of green about them that are gentle and compassionate, topped by a pair of thin but spiky eyebrows that match the style of his hair, that is, no style at all! And his face is tanned to the colour of, well, light tan...really! Like a sort of coffee colour.
He wears a longish, dark green tunic with a belt of dark brown, a pair of long, baggy pants in a weird browny purple colour, and a pair of light but sturdy boots.

Personality: Pterissimon has a love of nature and life that seems misplaced at the side of his magical ability. He dislikes attacking in battle, preferring instead to help his companions with healing and supporting spells, even though he has to have some knowledge of attacking spells due to his rank. Despite this fact, Pterissimon is rather fierce when his god is threatened, and this has lead him to become more deeply involved with the protectors of Ra, eventually being voted the title of Ra-Harakhte, which represents Ra’s daily journey from horizon to horizon, and the Priest’s dedication to Ra, which lasts from birth to death.

Animal form: Osprey, and so what if I seem to have a slight obsession… http://www.lynnbean.com/birds-of-prey-osprey-8x10.jpg
His osprey form is more of a browny-russet colour, than browny-white...

Magic specialisation/combat specialisation: Magic specialisation

Spells:
Dome of Shielding- A general shield appears, dome-like in shape, which covers all who Pterissimon wishes to shield.

Walk Between Worlds (Maybe stolen from High Elves’ High Magic...*shifty eyes*)- Pterissimon becomes ethereal, and invisible to the untrained magical eye. Only affects himself.

Regenerating Wind- An ethereal wind is conjured with a green tinge to it. It blows gently around all whom Pterissimon wishes to heal, enveloping them in healing warmth.

Fury of Ra- An extremely large fireball swells between Pterissimon’s palms, growing until he decides to release its wrath upon the enemies of Ra. Upon its release, the fireball makes a shrill whistling sound as it flies through the air towards its target(s), finally engulfing them in scented flames that devour them quickly.

Other: Erghle...*spouts some Egyptian randomly*

[Arnen]

I tweaked Stephan's form a bit in case anyone cares XP

[Weasel Overlord]

Okle dokle...btw, what did you change...?

[Arnen]

Just a couple little things, not too much >< Mostly just added detail and stuff ><

[Mire]

I edited for uberness, Weasel Overlord.

Changed Selfish Regeneration to only clot blood instantaneously and more quickly recover wounds, or stop fatal wounds from killing.

Removed Lucid Gust Power to Feed Fire, Levitation, and ability to create Rainstorm.

Changed Bird's Mentality to only stun for five minutes, regardless of will, and if used repeatedly, causes severe headaches which hinder Ignis's ability to concentrate.

Curse me and my stupid description...

[Weasel Overlord]

Cheers! *pats on head* much better! ;)

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Ex-leader of the worshippers of Ra/Not-a-lycanthrope form (approved by WO)

Name: Wepwawet (given name, Astarte)
Sex: Female
Age: A few thousand years at the very least; looks to be in her late twenties in human form, though.
Species: Demigod
Appearance: Human - Golden-skinned and thin, to the point that her ribs can be seen, about 5'10" tall. Her hair is long, spiked in a disorderly manner, tawny at the roots and darkening to almost black at the tips. Her face is angular and her eyes yellow. Her ears are pointed and her teeth have become carnassial-like, with distinct, sharp fangs and pointed molars. There are symbols and circles painted on her forehead, forearms, and ankles in ash. She wears Grecian-like draperies, which are in a ragged state and hiked up above her knees for freedom of movement. Has a large collar-like necklace with bronze links. look! (http://tinypic.com/5cgftt)
Wild dog - lots of pics here (http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Lycaon_pictus.html)
Personality: A consummate sadist, Wepwawet is happiest when hurting people, all the while grinning a grin that shows off all 32 of her pointy teeth. Very contrary in nature and likely to go left if you ask her to go right; also, gets bored easily. She has ways and means of getting what she wants that are not necessarily scrupulous. Her way of showing pleasure towards someone is a kick in the back. It is suspected that she is terminally unstable, although this hasn't been proved. She certainly acts like a violent, extremist loon, though. Most people... avoid her.
Animal form: African hunting dog
Magic specialisation/combat specialisation: Combat
Spells (if magic specialist): Nyet
Weapon (if combat specialist): Wepwawet is skilled in all arts of killing, butchering, and/or wounding in either human or animal form. Er. Probably teeth. She can fashion makeshift weapons out of almost anything; good at surviving.
Other: Is NOT a worshipper of Ra, although she is part of the royal house of Ra, and commanded the division of war. She was formerly Ra's representative in his votive temple on earth, and contributed much to the fact that the pyramids have more booby traps and secret passages than they should, but got bored. She left her post, adopting animal form to live with the dogs, shunning all human contact. She has lived in the wild for approximately two millenia, although retains her former knowledge of tactics and sacred texts(prophecies and such) under a semi-crazed exterior. Wepwawet ('opener of the ways') is a hereditary title passed on within the family from father or mother to the child who shows greatest prowess in elements of war; her given name is actually Astarte, although her title is Wepwawet and should be addressed as such.

[Weasel Overlord]

Okle pokle...well, I spose there's no need to approve Emo-faun's form...it's already been done! However, for the sake of neatness...Approved!

Ahem, anyway...I'm aware that many many people have exams, camp, whatever, so I'm gonna postpone the sarting of this thing till, erm, the holidays? Does that sound reasonable? And plus, my baby (ie. the computer) is on, shall we say, a little hibernation...in that he's broken, and going to the place of his birth for a new power supply cos he keeps turning off randomly! And don't ask why I refer to my computer as a 'he'...I do it with everything! :nut:

[Mystic_clown]

Sory I'm late.

Name: Legato Malik
Sex: Male
Age: 17
Steed: Marduk

He wears a dark purple long sleeved shirt, white coat, which is usually left open, black pants and brown sneakers. He's also got a silver chain around his neck.
Personality: He’s almost the opposite to his steed. He’s pretty shy and has a tendancy to exclude himself from everyone else. That doesn’t mean he’s not a nice guy. He’s actually quite friendly and polite, although pretty secretive. It’s quite difficult to get Legato angry, but it is possible and it’s not a very good idea.
Weapon(s): A long and very sharp lance, similar to the ones English knights used during the middle ages. The handle is covered in black leather and the blade (or point, whatever it’s called) is made up of highly compressed Obsidian.
Relationships: open

He has two horns coming out of the side of his head and has two mouths, one just above the other. His wings aren’t very large, yet surprisingly are able to support his large weight and his tail is quite short with a spkes coming out of the end. His hind legs are large and bulky while his front legs are a bit smaller.
Personality: Quite tempermental and has a tendancy to get angry at the slightest of things. Normally though he’s quite friendly and quite pleasant to be around. He’s loyal to his friends and family, even if he argues with them sometimes. Once he gets angry, it’s hard to get him to calm down.
Element: Storms
Animal form: Bear
Powers: Offense:Defense ratio: 3:0
-Thunder Force: electricity surges through Marduk's spikes as he charges a blast of lightning in his lower mouth before firing at the enemy.
-Zap counter: Marduk opens his second mouth, firing a small blast of lightning from his mouth. While this doesn't do much damage, it's good for blocking enemy attacks.
-Divine Roar: this is only used when Marduk's rage is at it's peak. Marduk raors with both of his mouths, calling down a heavy barrage of lighting onto the enemy.
Gem: Obsidian

[Weasel Overlord]

MC, Approved, and I must say, your Marduk sounds sort of like Slifer the Sky Dragon!
Sesshomaru, your form needs more work. Preferably more detail for your Wind Rider and for Tiamat, in both their personality and appearance categories...and I don't think that a jaguar is very appropriate for a wind Dragon...maybe some sort of bird?

[sesshomaru]

Is it good now?

[Sakura12]

I remember this! I was in the first part... Kind of... Signed up and then went AWOL... -.- Sorry about that! I'll try not to run away in this one...

I'll resere Indra and her wind rider please... Can't find my old signup... But if I do I'll reuse it. If not, let's just say Seiryn Kerne Dashun (Indra's wind rider)has changed... :P

[Weasel Overlord]

Hell, why not?!? I need people! And I didn't mean to sound insulting there...and while your here, I don't suppose you want a Lycanthrope do you? There's an annoying lack of them...(prods* cummooon...you know ya wanna...

Sesshomaru, Tiamat's form is better, but your Wind Rider still needs more description...and in a more continuous prose! It helps to have a detailed description of the characters you're RPing with so that the other players can visualise the char better...I can't approve your sign-up until you make more obvious changes. Sorry...

[Mire]

I'll take a Lycanthrope as a second character, I was planning on it anyway, just haven't had the time to work on the sign-up. I'll be able to post the form, but I will not be able to post for either character until June 7th. If this starts before then, assume Ignis is on a vision quest of some sort.

[sesshomaru]

Now? If not could you tell me specifically what to change or do?

[Mire]

Ready for a long read, Weasel Overlord? I just noticed this character is one of your kin!


[Name]
A'a'ew Qed
[Sex]
Male
[Age]
3347; Has two human forms, twenty and sixty. These guises are relative to his two discoveries of power.
[Appearance]
Human Form (20) - An undeniable smirk is the most noticeable thing that plays across a bold face of sharp nobleman's features, and the white teeth in that grin are brilliant. A'a'ew's muscle is well defined but only leanly, and gives the presentation of an archer on a build of six feet and quite lithe. His tan is a pronounced bronze upon a clear complexion and bushy brown eyebrows raised in suspicion with their own curve. A'a'ew's hair is flowing and vigorously ruffled, with a fluffy look that looks almost pettable on his scalp with a sharply styled chestnut ponytail trailing behind. At times, he choose to wear it chin length with long bangs swept over his face. A'a'ew might be caught scanning the horizon on tiptoe with his hand at his brow, but otherwise appears lazily slouching at less than his full height and poking anyone near him. His gray eyes give an expression of an obviously keen mind underneath the exterior daze. In summary, he looks somewhat like a devious teddy bear. Patches of downy fur cover parts of his chest, back, and legs. He wears the typical egyptian tunic (albeit in a distinct muddy brown), suprisingly clean and kept for its age and unfettered, but wears shorts of dyed linen similar that are not commonly seen in egyptian culture. His feet are in simple leather sandals. and a simple gold chain with a pentagonal tanzanite pendant across his chest. An apricot headband is secured tightly against his forehead and only a centimeter in width and covered by his bangs, with the same color securing his ponytail tightly with a thin strand. Pinprick claws sprout from the end of his fingers.

Human Form (60) - A devilish grin crosses a face of smooth wrinkles with a deft or awkward expression in crossed eyes. Shorter than usual, with a paler complexion, A'a'ew's age is certainly obvious. His frailty is not to be judged however, a quick reflex and wit lies beyond a broken exterior. A walking stick has appeared from nowhere (his clothing otherwise the same) that he carries with the intent to bludgeon, and his muscle has all but evaporated entirely. His hair is now a vivid gray and in a short, stiff, military style, and to the passerby he might appear as a humble old timer. I think they missed something. A tooth is missing from his grin only in this form, and his pinprick claws are gone.

Animal Form - A rugged old ferret, a ragged scar tears from the end of his eye to his ear and another on his neck. Fur gives off an undeniable look of experience, mud brown and constantly on end. A wicked weasel smirk plays across his lip with his missing tooth gone and instead rows of shiny, flawless, white points. Claws like daggers spout from his black-padded paws and a nip of his left ear is missing. Cold burns in gray eyes that pierce the mind like their own more fatal claws. Basically, way short of cuddly.

http://www.wildegypt.com/mongoose.JPG

[Personality]
Human - A quirky riddler, A'a'ew is infinitely wise and of one of the keenest minds you might ever meet, but tends to space. His attention isn't held long and if forced he may begin to twitch uncontrollably. He's absent-minded in his short term memory and chuckles uncontrollably at his own ignorance no matter the situation. Not prone to any negative emotions, it seems, and always either serious or humorous. Out of combat A'a'ew has two left feet and a catlike curiosity to explore every little nook and cranny. He has the sense to avoid traps and a resourcefulness in battle infallibly, but otherwise is purely insane. He spouts random gibberish on occasion and enjoys puzzling people unnecessarily. He hates straight answers and prefers to dodge the point as many times as possible, preceding to insult people in his "higher" form of vocabulary. Though a prankster, he can be imagined to be virtous, but that comically delighted smirk is just as easily twisted to an evil sinister grin. If he ever smiles at you with that missing tooth, you better run for the hills, because you don't know if he just concocted the next gag or launched a maniacal plot.

Animal - His prankster attitude has completely evaporated and left a serious and tactful mind that focuses on completing whatever goal necessary with precision and perfection. A'a'ew loses his wit and chuckle charm in exchange for a rigid interior and a disturbing smirk. The grin is present still, in a twisted animal way, but you can be sure it's corrupt. You know he'll get the job done, but the menacing presence is more than enough to scare off most. Unpredictable and feral, A'a'ew will stop at nothing to accomplish what he sets out to do. Authoritarian and tyrannical, grouped he will force orders onto members and intimidate the most flawless character into his bidding. Three thousand years did something to this lycanthrope that gives emergence to a ruthless general. A'a'ew's wild attitude was probably right under his mortal shell all along.

[Animal Form]
Mongoose
[Specialization]
Magic (agility also).
[Spells]
A'a'ew Qed is translated to Sleep Architect, which is perfectly accurate to A'a'ew's magic. Though not a spell, in human form he is agile due to a limited precognition, but has near flawless celerity and perception in mongoose form.

Mustelan Forte - A'a'ew uses his magic while in his shifted form to allow a wicked strike from his claws bypass armor of any kind, physical or otherwise, with deadly accuracy. Alternatively, it can be implemented as a way to dilute a magical assault by moderate reflection. In human form, the spell is a carefully calculated magical projectile of muddy light that has the same piercing status. Repeated use of this spell is very draining on him, and if used repeatedly can cause severe headache.

Jig of the Serpent - A'a'ew begins a delicate weaving with his body and hypnotically circles his foe(s) for a period of time with ethereal grace, causing them to be dazed during and for up to a minute after he stops his ritualistic dance. Useable in mongoose form just as easily, albeit comical to watch. The end of the dance is followed by him brutally slitting his enemy's jugular. Willpower can break the daze.

Weasel's Cunning - A'a'ew moves at a speed undetectable to the human eye and is able to travel a distance of one hundred meters or more within a millisecond or quickly relocate himself for a precise strike. Also, the same spell can be used to set magical traps that make a grainy grave of quicksand appear with a blackhole's power of suction on an area. Creating such a trap may sever his mental link with his magic for a period of time if too large. Trapping is not useable in shifted form.

Astral Architecture - With various methods, A'a'ew can make his enemies fall asleep for a time between a minute or a day. He cannot harm his foes while they sleep, and if they are attacked they will remain unscathed, but for the increment of time set they will remain in a deep sleep in which they cannot be magically or physically awoken from. Also, A'a'ew's infinite knowledge of the dreamworld allows him to enter/create people's dreams or send nightmares for his own amusement. In fact, he can form astral energy into physical projections that last as long as he holds his concentration. He can use this energy to make a staircase or ladder, for example. Not suitable for damaging physical objects with astral weaponry, and the objects tend to be very sandy. Cannot use this spell in mongoose form.

[Weapon]
A'a'ew Qed uses his surprisingly formidable claws in his large mongoose form, but otherwise just magic.

History
Raised in a family of Egyptian irrigation at the time before the first Dynasty of the united republic, A'a'ew's life was of that of a normal middle class citizen and he was expected to take up the family mantle as a farmer in due time. Given possession of his father's land at twenty, when his father was taken by illness, he farmed this for less than a year before he was picked out by the priests of Ra as a possible candidate for their legion. It wasn't long after that he discovered his mysterious power to shapeshift into a mongoose and garnered many battle scars in no time. He didn't discover his apparent immortality until he reached sixty, marvelous old age, and saw his friends graves' all around. It was at sixty that he first discovered his dormant knowledge of ancient magic. It was at this age he lived up to his title as sleep architect and took a more physical job as major domo of the processes of the building of the first pyramids in the Lower Kingdom, filling them with his ingenious traps which were later augmented by Wepwawet, actually his distant cousin that he was somewhat friendly with before she left the growing empire for the wild.

War struck between the Upper and Lower Kingdoms soon enough, and A'a'ew was placed as the head of a portion of the Lower Kingdom's army. His brilliant tactics and need to serve in the battle was both inspiring and led to the only victories against the Upper Kingdom in the war, startling defeats to their name. However, the wit of one guerilla general was not enough to sustain the war and the death of the sixth love of his life led A'a'ew to a depressed and ruthless existence, losing his valor and will to fight. It is believed that this was when he received the majority of his real war wounds, the ones that would carry far into the future. The war was lost and King Menes united the kingdoms into a grand empire, but some of the ancient creations of the lower kingdom would be lost forever.

From that point forward, A'a'ew wandered Egypt under various jobs: pyramid constructor, librarian, messenger, architect, farmer, mercenary, and wiseman. His nomadic life in the small landscape allowed him to make a vague imprint in the nation's history and during the process he absorbed an immense knowledge of Egyptian history and culture and on vast other subjects, some undiscovered by the masses.

He was not allowed to stay in his home country forever, however, and soon he was dispelled from the new legion of Ra for his blasphemy in bringing up the ancient war between the upper and lower kingdoms but never excommunicated as a worshpper. From here, A'a'ew traveled across various parts of the world absorbing what more knowledge. He became a walking historian and livened his bland existence of dust and tomes with the occasional prank, using both of his human guises.

With Ra's weakening, A'a'ew has been called back into service, reluctant to go to war. The merciless general lies inside still, maybe more deeply embedded than ever. It remains to be seen how loyal he is to his god, however.

[Other]
A persistent quirk, A'a'ew has the tendency to doze when not in danger. His snores are reminiscent of a mouse squeak. Also, it is in his nature to mess with other peoples' dreams and consciousness unnecessarily and/or create invisible astral walls for them to run into. When not in combat, A'a'ew is considerably clumsy. Wepwawet is still apparent in his memory, and he is likely to recognize her under her more crazed exterior.

[Weasel Overlord]

YAY! A weasel...and well done on adding the lost 'history' category, which I forgot to put on the sign-up forms!
How exactly do you pronounce his name...?

[Mire]

Actually, I don't know how to pronounce his name... lol.

[Sakura12]

Hmm... I'll consider a lycanthrope, but maybe not now...

Dragon form.

Name: Indra
Sex: Female
Appearance: Indra is considered small for a dragon. She has pearly scales and eyes that can change colour according to its mood (eg red when angry, blue when sad, orange when happy, they're white when she's in a neutral mood). Unlike most other dragons, her wings are not made of leathery material but of soft white feathers. Her tail has a ring of spikes around it.
Personality: Always the non-aggressor, Indra prefers to settle disputes through calm talking rather than fighting. She a good listener and one who is willing to share her knowledge with others.
Element: Light
Animal form: (if it's okay) Siberian tiger
Powers: 1:2
~ Spectral spikes: The spikes on the end of her tail glow in spectral colours and shoot out at the enemy like arrows.
~ Healing glow: A glow of white light grows in her hands(if you can call them hands, that is). When Indra presses this light onto a wound, the wound will heal. This power can also heal sicknesses, but it cannot revive a dead person.
~ Mind read: well, just as the name says... Ran out of creative juices to think of something better... Haha...
Gem: Opal
Other: She loves the sound of Seiryn's flute!

Wind Rider form.

Name: Seiryn Dashun Kerne
Sex: Female
Age: 16
Steed: Indra
Affinity: Light - Binding light: When Seiryn plays her flute, spectra-coloured light flows out of the end where music comes out of. This light can snake like ropes and bind a foe. If times allows, the bound foe will be put to sleep by the music.
Appearance: Average height for her age, Seiryn is often seen with a calm look on her face. In her grey eyes lie knowledge, yet with a tinge of playfulness and joy. Her long black hair is often left untied to flow in the wind, especially while riding. Seiryn usually wears a maroon low-cut blouse with long open sleeves and a long matching velvet baggy trousers with high black boots. She also wears a gold trimmed grey face veil, black leather gloves and a flowing blue-grey velvet cloak when she is riding.
Personality: Quiet by nature, she can seem boring at first glance. But once you get to know her better, she can be your most loyal friend. Her quietness allows her much time for thinking, and through this she has become quite a philosopher.
Weapon(s): A magic staff made of mithril with an opal at the upper tip of the staff, enclosed in intricatedly twined mithril. She also has two lightblades with silver blades and large opals set in the hilts. (if it can count) She also has a bamboo flute with a tiger carved into the wood. Crushed opals have been used to fill in the carved area.
Relationships: None as of yet.
Other: Nope.

[Weasel Overlord]

They the white ones? Spose...actually, I can't think of another animal for Indra anyway! btw, you forgot to do Indra's powers...

Approved! Oh, and the same to Mire too...guess we're just waiting for Vulps and some more Lycanthropes...

Sesshomaru, I can't tell you exactly what to change, but if you're only gonna add an extra line every time then what's the point? You need to make your writing more, well, flowing...and I'm only trying to help here, ok? I'm not being mean...Try not to use so many full stops, pad out your sentences more...
I dunno, try to use a few similes or something...If that doesn't help, well, I don't know what else to put...

Oh, and does anyone have any objections to waiting 'til after exams to start this? My last is, er *thinks* 23rd June...I'll start it then, yah?

[sesshomaru]

Okay, I gave it some similies and added some more. How about now?

You've seen this before..

Name: Siyann Eerie Tierney [Cyan/ Sai-yan Ear-ree Tea-er-nee] or Sai, basically.
Sex: Female
Age: 17
Steed: Sigurd of the seas
Appearance: Siyann's hair consists of thick wavy locks of different lengths, dark blue in color with metallicy hues. It hangs about her face, and reaches the nape of her neck where it furls and twists. Her wavy fringe hangs in front of - and mostly hides - her eyes, reaching half way down her small, slightly crooked nose, with some strands reaching her chin, and no further. Not always being able to see, she often sweeps her fringe back, and then you can see two startling eyes, each different yet equally beautiful. One the color of a deep blue sea, the other a rich forest green. Also her scar is revealed, a thin white line that runs up the bridge of her nose and right along the center of her forehead. She is quite pretty nevertheless though, and her strong chin gives her a capable look. Her skin is peach-white and smooth. She's about 5'8, slim and agile.
She wears a floaty pale blue skirt that reaches to her calves, her right ear is thrice pierced: twice at the bottom with a tiny shark fang on a dangling silver chain and a stud; and with a small silver ring at the top. She wears a delicate dark blue strapped top, and carries a simple one strap white fabric bag over her shoulder. She often goes bare foot, but when travelling she usually wears a pair of flat-soled, tight, white boots, decorated with stitch and with glinting spurs at the heels.
Personality: Like sigurd, her mood can swiftly change, but for the most part she's calm, relaxed and casual. Sigurd's not the oldest and therefore doesn't feel responsible for the others so much, and this reflects in Siyann, though she has grown very close to a few of her fellow windriders. In battle she's thorough, efficient and clean, and does no more damage than necessary - she takes no pleasure in killing. She's not afraid of her enemies, but she's certainly not reckless, she tries not to underestimate. In a relaxed situation, she's pretty playful, quite upbeat, and easy to get along with. Sometimes though, and it always takes you by surprise, she can become cold and full of a quiet rage, and come crashing down upon you like a wave upon the shore, and leave you devastated. She’s been a little quieter and more thoughtful since the whole phoenix thing though..
Weapon(s): http://www.schoolnet.ca/aboriginal/...ogy/harpoon.gif The detachable head is made with metal and braided sinew and cord, attached to a narrow shaft, and is extremely sharp. The harpoon itself is light in weight - long, slender and javelin like. The spear is fitted with a barbed head, and used with an attatched line for retrieval. The aquamarine stone is set within the spear head.
She also carries a short piercing dagger, excellant for close swift work, and has the aquamarine stone set in the pommel.
Affinity: Water:
Mist Harp - for quick retrieval of the harpoon, the spear dissociates into mist, then reforms away from the victim.
Pulse - when stabbing a foe with either dagger or harpoon, on contact the weapon emits a pulse of water and depending on the force of the attack it can wind, stun or rupture cells in a foe.
Ocean call- by dipping her dagger in the water she can call, and to some degree control, the water itself to aid her against foes
Relationships: Her fellow windriders, naturally.
Other: She still calls her Grandmother’s rest house her home, and always expects to be returning there at the end of a long day, but nevertheless seems to have accepted this new reality, full of travel, death and magic. If she’s confused, she’s trying hard not to show it, but she thinks maybe she’s just being swept along with the whole thing at the moment. She’s not quite sure what she’s doing but hell, she wasn’t born a dragonsoul for nothing..

And I meant to write and post this a loooong time ago, musta slipped my mind ^^;; ..

Name: Sigurd of the Seas.. (dan-da-da-daan!!)
Sex: Female
Appearance: She’s all sea-like and stuff, dude.. What, you need more than that?? Pah.. Okies, she’s about the length of five buses end to end (and none of those midget shopping centre buses either, real lengthy ones), though two of those are for her long tail, and one and a half for her neck :p.. She gives the impression of being made of water, her outline very smooth and blended, moves with liquid grace. Detail, detail..

Her snout is long, tapered in a streamlined fashion, not pointy but all rounded edges and smoothness. Her eyes are large and black (like bottomless pools of water) and seem to melt with softness. Like most dragons she does have scales, but they are barely indistinguishable from each other, and are more skin-like in appearance - a soft velvet that stretches along her body. Mentioned scales are a motley collection of sea blues, greens and turquoises, and have a dappled look about them, like the effect light passing through gentle waves has on the ocean floor. Her jaw spawns a number of short webbed thrips, and her ears (easily as long as her snout) web with the top most of the thrips.

Her body is quite skeletal, yet not at all angular; her ribcage has to be large for her enormous lungs - big enough for submergence in water for long periods of time. Her vertebrae stretch up and out into a number of slender webbed spikes, all which form a dark blue sail along her spine. Her limbs are elongated, ghostly things which end in lengthy talon-tipped clawed hands, webbed between the digits. Her tail is long, slender and splits into three separate points at the very end, the outer two each joined with the middle point, forming a horizontal, swishy, dolphin-like tail. Kind of. I’ll try and draw this sometime O_o .. Her wings are enormous but narrow, with many randomn joints. The membrane is thin and light, yet strong enough for propulsion in both water and air. The muscles at the shoulder joints span through her entire torso.
Personality: Oh, she’s lovely really!! Sometimes.. Warm hearted and caring, quite independent and headstrong, though she’s not really anyone’s leader. Mostly she’s quite laidback, but other times she can be rather harsh, cold, snappish. Can seem ruthless and forceful and empty, like the ocean.
Element: Sea
Animal form: A large brown Sea Otter Click! (http://www.cardinalphoto.com/photos/images/Ma_SeaOtter_0585c.jpg)
Powers:
At one - Can dissociate into mist at will, or become one with the ocean, and hence travel the globe at great speeds or pass through solid objects. This can extend to other creatures in contact with her.
Dehydrate - Can draw every molecule of water from her surroundings and form a globe of water, or whatever she likes really. Good for putting out fires and, er, turning people to dust..
Barrage - can turn into a huge ball of water mid swoop, knocking people off their feet. Can also do this on the ground, forming a random wave that whirls around and consumes a person or object, never to be seen again. Glompf. :liplick:
Gem: Aquamarine
Other: SQUEE!!

Hey!! Sea Otters are in the mustelid family too, along with you weasels and mongooses!! Group hug guys!! *large wet Sigurd otter ambushes you all*

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Ugh... it's either weaselly type creatures or various types of tigers/panthers... eheh. *Proud to be a Buffalo!!!* ^^; I was hoping someone would do a snake lycanthrope so we could play off the whole mongoose-cobra thing. Like Rikki-tikki-tavi in the Jungle Book.
I've finished my exams *flashes V sign* so I don't really have a problem either way, whenever you decide to start it.

[Weasel Overlord]

YAY!! *hugs various mustelids with glee and gets rather soggy* Only need...erm...a fewmore Lycanthropes now! Hooozah! *punches air in an exaggerated fashion*
Glerb! And congrats on finally writing Sigurd's form Vulps..she's very adorable...like a big blue plushie! :D Who's peeved now, eh? eheheh... :freak:

And it's ok for some...*glares at Emo-Faun*...with thier minimal exam-ege...BAH! Oh well...at least I'm not doing Chem and Bio, unlike some of us...heh heh heh...roll on end of exams!

[Vulpix.ck87]

I'll have you know that's Chemistry, Biology AND A-level Maths, thank you very much, Overlord. And you spelt exam-age wrong :P

And if you call her a plushie again she'll scarf you down whole, GOT THAT??!?! :swear:

*wanders off hugging small furry, blue Torran plushie*

p.s. EIGHT days until =w=eezer, dude!! hurray.....!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Sakura12]

So I did... Bleah... I'll do it later, coz I'm going to sleep now, and I'm too lazy to think... And speaking of exams... I'm having mine at the end of June... Double bleah... Might be absent for a week. But all should be back to normal after 4th July. I'm having a concert on that day... :D

[Weasel Overlord]

Okay...Sesshomaru, I'm not being condescending, ok? But I just don't think you're right for this RPG...the changes you made to your sign-up form are hardly noticable and I've seen you around in other RPG's and I'm gonna need a bit more than five lines per post, especially if you're playing an important Dragon and Wind Rider pair. Apologies, but I can't accept your forms.

[Mire]

I was the first weasel, darn it! Canines are overused too, Emo. I forgot to comment on Nausea (what I plan on having Ignis call Athnasius). "I-want-to-eat-you-but-I-can't." looks, classic that is. XD

[sesshomaru]

K, I supppose I am in a bit too many other RPGs anyways.

[Weasel Overlord]

Okle pokle...

Nausea? What a strange name...Ignis really doesn't like Affy, does he? And I do believe I was the first weasel...*points to name* seeeee? I rule all weasels...especially cheese ones...mmm, cheese...*drools*


=W=

YAY!! We will be with you soon, Rivers...soon we will worship at your feet as you serenade us under the stars...ahem! Did I say us? Sorry Vulps...Rivers only likes the company of weasels! *waves at Carlene smugly as is carried off by Rivers* aaah...

[Mire]

I was trying to figure out how to pronounce Athanausius's name today and I went, "Ath - an - naw - zee - is," so regardless of how it's actually pronounced, Nausea is born!

Well, I was talking characters, Weasel Overlord, but you are our master. Yesssssss... masterssssss.... *bow*

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

It's not that I have SHORT exam periods. It's just that I have so many MORE exams (there's another one in September, and the finals in November) that if they made the exams LONGER I'd be examinationing the whole year. Eheh.
The correct pronunciation of Athanasius according to the Chambers 20th Century Dictionary is as follows: aeh-ther-nay-shius. I don't know how to put it in phonetics, but that's approximately the way you say it. *coughs* nausea? *cough* *laughs silently*
Athanasius: WHATever...
I didn't know whether to do a hunting dog or hyena, since they've both got matriachal social structures, (especially the hyena...) but since there weren't already any canids in this RPG I took the easy way out and did the hunting dog.
Weezer fans? I'll leave well alone...
Wepwawet: *clicking of machine-gun pump-action mechanism* Bring it on, punk!

[Weasel Overlord]

YAY! Weezer...yeah! Only, *counts on fingers* erm, 8 days to go!!! YAAAAYYYYY!! *hyperventilates* Unfortunately, I have three English Lit exams in the same week...bum! Ah well...

*waves Lycanthropes around* Anyone else want one? *Prods people randomly* Don't make me take two... :round: :round: heh heh...look at em go...weeeeeeeee.....

[Sakura12]

3 Lit exams in a week... O.O Which texts are you doing?

Oh, and I've done Indra's powers. =)

[Weasel Overlord]

I'm doing Oranges are not the Only Fruit, The Color Purple, William Blake, Othello, and the War unit...do you do English by any chance? It's A level, I'm doing...*shudder* and I'm not looking forward to my three hour war exam...

[Sakura12]

I'm doing A level English Lit too... But my A levels are next year... I'm doing Othello in school now... Did The Red Badge of Courage for war lit last term too... 'War the blood swollen god.' My favourite quote... Haha... All the best then! I'm glad I'm only having the comment and appreciation paper for my exam at the end of the month... All the best!

[Weasel Overlord]

aw, thanks...I'm not actually that worried about it...bizzarely! In fact, I'm more worried about the fact that I'm not worried than about the actual exam...

[Weasel Overlord]

Okay, I'm gonna start this next wednesday, ok? Meanwhile, I have lots of reading to do...*buries self in revision*

[Mire]

WO, I'm under the assumption that you still plan on starting this, so I'd like to inform you that I might change Ignis's powers slightly before this starts. I'll send them to you via private message for approval. I just don't like the ones I have now.

[Weasel Overlord]

Yeah, I'll probably start some time this week. Make it Thursday ok? Just PM me with Ignis's new powers and I'll check em out.
