Potato.  My personal rule for a while now.  Is.  Everything must start with a potato...  So...  Potato.  Potato.  Potato.

Anyhow.  Now onto the RP.  You create the world with me.  I have no maps.  Simply this.  The north is cold.  The south is jungle and swamp.  East is mountains.  West is plains.  At center  meets the old forest.  It is a small world.  Horizons are short and curved compared to those you can see here on earth from the curve of the planet  Now onto other things.  Yes?

Feel free to be creative with where you are and what you are doing.  I will try my best to keep things flowing.  Why all these warnings?  Because I don't want you to be unprepared.

In any case.  This is the in character thread.  All your RPs are belong here.

Try to describe your equipment in your first post if you didn't in your app.  Or if you simply feel it makes a good introduction.



     Verinian shrugged as he flipped a coin between his fingers and softly bit it.  Gold.  He smiled before pocketing it.  "Guess I'm just lucky then."  "Nyar.  You must have been cheating for a play like that!"  "No.  Count the cards and check the faces if you don't believe me."  "Fine then.  I will.  And you aren't going to move until I'm finished."  They focused now on checking the cards over.  as he blatantly stood and moved over to the bar.  They didn't even notice.  He grinned silently but shook his head.  "Gambling again?"  He shook his head.  "Yeah.  Guess I am."  "up to the same tricks then?"  "Nah.  I didn't cheat and use two decks this time.  Felt like being a little more even."  "Ahh."  The bartender smiled and laughed before moving away.  The man looked up.  And glanced about before finding him and moving over.  Grouchily.  "You had to of cheated!  I just don't know how..." 

     "Well then can I go yet..?  I figure you have better things to do than lose more gold.  And I obviously have better things to do with my time."  He winked at the bartender who shrugged  at him.  "Oh fine.  Just go then ya scanty little...  Before I figure out how you did it..."  And with this he stepped out.  He wasn't a guard any more.  Meaning he could go wherever he wanted.  Do whatever he wished.  But instantly he found his footsteps walking, as practiced for the past several years for the training field.  Once green grass pounded down yellow by constant use.  It looked a little more dreary than it used to.  But it didn't quite matter as he approached a ring. 

     Running his right hand across the wooden railing that flanked parallel each side the main path between rings.  Fighting rings marked by thin metal rings placed upon the ground.  Others moved about.  Younglings and orcs training.  Some others fighting for sport or quarrel.  He had no quarrels today.  But he felt it be nice for some sport before he decided 'bout where to set off...  Maybe he'd visit his mum and dad if he felt like it.  But for now he took a position in one ring.  Letting his leather vestings slide off his shoulders and hanging them over a railing.  And he waited for someone to accept.  His four blades rested crossed at waist and back.  Two shorter blades.  Single edged short swords of a defensive quality.  Durable and sturdy.  And two longer blades.  Very thin rapier.  Made for accuracy and quickness.  Crossed at his  shoulders. 

     He loosened each sheath so that they stood by only the main band, the ends swinging slightly.  Which is what allowed his style.  Under the leather vestings he wore red lined black silk.  With golden threaded stitching.  Thin pants that reached only to his knees like shorts and a long sleeved shirt.  Accompanying his four blades a simple set of balanced silver throwing knives.  Though he loosened the bands on them and removed them.  Such were not for duels of sport.  Every blade was sheathed in thin hardened glassy obsidian.  A common material used in smithing by the demons.  He leaned back and rested.  Letting his mind wander as he listened.  Waiting for someone to take up the challenge.  Finally he heard footsteps approaching the ring. And opened his eyes.  Just an orc who passed by.  Meeting with another for some first blood sport.  The first to draw blood.  No major injuries.  He closed his eyes again.  And returned to waiting.  Another set of footsteps.  Leading closer this time..

Cursed Luck

Chapter 1

In the fodder.

    Ephas stood at attention at the front of the battle line. Behind the front battle line stood the cavalry.  And behind that the archers... He had a bow.  But it was more for looks amongst their ranks than any use.  As just pulling the string back would possibly break the entire thing to pieces.  the Kaptain stood ahead of them giving his "Rousing speech"...  More like epitaph...  Every single one of them could possibly die on this day unless they were luckier than his mother's silver bracelet of godly luck.  And by his standards that was not a single one of these maggots that stood before him.  

     Faces shone with horror.  Despair...  And happiness to die for the furthering of the dark race into the lit lands.  But his own shown nervously.  To tell the truth he couldn't feel his legs anymore, his feet were so numb he was barely standing there.  And the person next to him slit their own throat in fear...  "Disgusting!"  The Kaptain yelled out at the suicidal soldier who lay bleeding out.  "You will charge on my mark!  Whoever lives will be given medical treatment!  Whoever doesn't will be stitched back together and sent in with the necromancer's other minions!"  

     He lifted his blade high above his head.  Across the great field stood an entire army, though only half their size.  They stood with faces of grim determination to halt the dark race from any further conquest...  If they lost this battle...  The rest of their people would be done for...  The Sesthil...  The lizard people.  3000 soldiers against 6000 of the dark race.  Though yet only more would attack the next day...  And the Sesthil knew it...  Many cried what could possibly be their final tears of this life, standing with swords raised.  Shields at the ready in the gleaming gold armor of the Sesthil paladins.  They were ready to die such that the rest may evacuate and survive...  And they would all die~  

     The Kaptain swung his blade forward with a yell.  And the fodder charged forwards across the distance for the 3000 elite warriors of the remaining Sesthil army.  They stood strong, as the first clashes broke out, they yelled with the fury of their god Orobourous and smote down the fodder by the hundreds...  Thousands...  Though losses still they had.  Not was it long before the fodder went to retreat.  Ephas left confused, his blade still left unblooded.  Yet fortune favored on the young greenhorn, as rather than being beheaded by a Sesthil blade, he received naught but the smashing of a shield across his face as he fell unconscious...  

     The Sesthil Paladins of Orobourous had easily repelled this fodder with few yet still mountable losses... The next day would never be so simple...  They quickly scoured the field.  Killing all injured and taking into custody any in good condition, shackling them and force feeding a draught of sleep to keep them stuck to the realm of sweet shadows.


    Ephas shivered to partial wakefulness as he rolled slightly to the side before grasping across the wooden floor beneath him as his eyes shot open and he shot to his feet, managing to strike his head on a lowered roof.  The only light that shone was through a heavy grated window through a thick wooden frame.  Where was he?  

     Patting himself down.  No weapon.  No tools.  Only the black dyed linen under suit that had been under his leather armor.  Where was he?!  The small bit of light shone across the short room upon a door.  Which upon trying to open he almost cried out, as it was locked and bolted, a small wooden slat in the door opening as two serpentine eyes stared through, otherwise shadows and hidden from his sight.  

     The slat quickly closed without a word, and did not open or unlock.  From the other side he heard speak between two Sesthil.  "Have you ever noticed the-...  Their eyes seem but so...  Similar our own..."  "Blasphemy!  Next you'll start talking about ancient curses and myths that hold no weight.  Maybe I should lock you up with one and see how like us these savages are..."  "No...  I think I will be....  Quite alright..."  "Then shaddap."  

     After the brief conversation as he listened under the door, one of the partakers of this conversation left.  By the soft mutterings.  The one whom had been overly observant was the one who remained there to watch.  Finally Ephas peeked through the grated window.  Outside is what astounded him...  The Sesthil harbor to see greeted his vision...  How had he not yet noticed the scent of salty sea water in the air before?  Ships lay ready to set out.  

     Sesthil crowded onto the ships, carrying personal objects and food.  The corsair ships were small and fast.  But modified to hold more than usual.  they were fast ships.  For a fast escape...  Even he felt the swaying of the ship he was inside.  Yet when he had awoken he had assumed it was only from the wind...  He sat upon a small stool as the only furniture in the room, and stared at the floor.   He was...  So...  Done for now...  

     It was already late into this day as sudden bells rang outside loudly.  Warning that the paladins were returning to hold for their last attempt a select group of only 15 coming aboard to safeguard their people as the rest in the distance held back a horde of...  Innumerable attackers.  The ships released from harbor.  And set rapidly out for the oceans...  

     To the west, across the ocean.  Were the Abolycans.  As the term suggested.  Their culture had much to do with wolves.  Though nothing wolf like about the people themselves.  They lived in an icy land, not suitable for the Sesthil...  But they had offered shelter to the new refugees openly.  The ships dropped sails and like that.  The wind caught and the ships shot forth, cutting through the water like a machete does thick brush.

Introduction / New to Feral Heart. But not forums.
« on: March 10, 2012, 01:32:30 am »
New community, new people to meet, new things to see, new things to say.  I would like to say hello to this community.  I read through the rules, and there is only one I may have a problem with having come from Dead Frontier, a more mature focused MMORPG style system.  And that is the absolutely no cursing part.  It definitely bugs me how often curses were flung...  But I have to say it.  It effected me.  Though most of the time I somewhat censor myself.  The way I do so tends to be obvious in what would be the original word.  No I am not going to give an example to test it.  >.>  

But thank goodness for exactly the same style of posting page, albeit white is a little to bright for my tastes.  

Oh, and I like writing instinctual poetry, as in written on a moments notice.  Improv you could say.



Without a shadow of a doubt, the wind did shout.  

The sky was dropping stones of fire, the rain still fell like never a ending shower.  

With the winds of change, the shadowed range.  Shallow pools and tentative fools.  

With a darkened touch they did reign.  Not for others but with tooth and fang.  

Greed of a generation put into one single formation.

The cesation of giving, a variation of the unliving.

The fathoms left unobserved, the appetite of the undying left uncurbed.


And I am happy with my mediocre skill at RPing.  (Mediocre means centered, not bad, not great.)
