I don't understand what Dj's story arc has to do with the story at all...when were these Spires introduced, and who is Judge Xinos? Do you mean Xindao? He's in Haven...and if Xinos died, does that mean Jaxter and Renao will become super crooks or something?

Quoted from a previous thread:

Elzilia, a Morai secret operative / super soldier, is sent on a task to defeat the valkyrie queen. The three spires that is maintianing the pwoer of all valkyries stand in her way. By removing these spires, the valkyries will begin to loose their power and eventually rendered to mere mortal, Elzilia is currently attacking the golden spire, the first of the three spires. Teaming up with one of her ranking superior, an old spiral convict and a male night valkyrie, they embark on a journey to eliminate the white council of the cradle. Yes, I am controlling four characters, it is hard work.

Golden spire:
Boss: Judge Xinos
-A primordial tree of near infinite wisedom, this tree has being in the golden spire since the beginning of time, father paradise assigned him to be the judge of the sinned and wicked. His will along can decide who is, and who is not a sinner. But now the tree is corrupted, judge Xinos, in a blinding rage, has classed every one on cradle a sinner. His breath has the magical power of accelerating decay or reverse the course of nature, bending the fabrics of time it self.

Platinum spire:
Boss: Immortelle (AKA the first valkyrie)
-A primordial valkyrie, retainning all the perfection of an original valkyrie, without the weaknesses added by the mutations, he is the true perfect valkyrie, with the purity of his mind, he gets to decided whether or not a person gets to go to heaven or go to hell. Father paradise gifted him the blade of genesis, the sword that was used to create a gap between the chaos and the paradise, this weapon cannot be used by mere mortals.

Diamond spire:
Boss: Nezunazali (AKA the mother)
-Father paradise's consort, the mother to all celestial beings and the goddess of fertility and hapiness. She becomes corrupted as well, started to give birth to abberations as well as demons. She is sealed within the diamond spire while her children searched for a cure. While she is trapped inside the diamond spire, she is impregnated by the chaos and evil around her, inside her womb, an evil is growing. But due to her love for the baby, Nezunazali is determined to give birth to this child. The child must be destroyed, if failed, cradle will fall into an age of darkness.

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

So as you can see, Elzilia's quest is parallele to yours, Elzilia is trying to bring an end to the white council, she is just doing it in another way, instead of bullrush the valkyrie queen like a Moron, (*coughs* Mallak *coughs*) she is destroying valkyrie queen's associates one at a time, weakening the white council's control overall on cradle.

The death of Xinos won't affect how crooked a person is, Judge Xinos's (he is not Xindao) duty is to decide who is and who is not sinner, that is all.

Problem

THats a derivitive story to the one being told. In a since a side story. Not to lie but quiet a few side storys have picked up maybe we should all come together to get ourselfs back on track real quick, after all Blesse has some information which could help the team (Idea for regrouping).

Outside of that Midnight, your story has only one thing in common and that is the goal. Other wise the story should have you in the backround some where being noted. Not to be rude but flatly put your storyline has nothing to do with us, it only connects at the ends and is other wise pointless to have a battle over for us to read because it does not directly impact us till the very end at which point none of us have have any idea what you did IC unless some one tells us but all Morai get killed when they come to Haven anyway. So in a since, its a nice read but IC it does not effect anyone outside of the end of the current story and those involved.

Of course now I am going to get yelled at for pointing this out and or called a D*** (sincerer myself for ht kidz) for pointing out something I have seen/understand to be true. Sorry.

@ Darkwatck

Players will be given a very high degree of independence. Players should be able:

  • to create characters they really want to play
  • to write in a world they imagine
  • to tell the stories they want to tell

    @dark

    No, I am not angry at all, I am just here to tell an epic story, I don't really like how Mallack is giving this RP a hard time. And for those of you who didn't see the obivious anti-religion remarks of Elzilia's story line, here are a few hints.

    Judge Xinos: Religious morality of what is right or wrong
    Immortelle: Racial and specie discrimmination in religion
    Nezunazali: Abortion issues and body right to feteuses.

    And other characters are used for the exploration of other society issues:
    Midnight: gender mysogeny and sexism
    Affraiel: over zealous patriotism
    Elzilia: Anarchy

    Darkwatck's picture
    Darkwatck
    Um

    Nezunazali: Abortion issues and body right to feteuses.

    That falls more on political then Religion but okay.

    And I am well aware of the OP's guidelines Malkalack, I was simply getting something off my mind.

    Not sure what to think of body right to fetuses, since I don't think anyone really forces abortion.

    But you know, I like you're style. Not sure if it should be expressed here, but I still like it. ;oP HoNk.

    Seatus, there's only about three Regenerators in the story (as far as I remember), and one of them is a Morai somewhere in the Clockworks.

    Mmmmeh.

    There's probably NPC's that I'm referring to as well as the PC Regenerators. Still functions as it prevents healing.

    Urg...

    I'm really sorry I completely and utterly missed that saving throw Thinslayer. I've gotten caught up in another bought of "no time", but by this weekend, I will assuredly be far more free.

    So I'm thinking that perhaps, instead, I could enter the story in a more coordinated fashion. I feel really guilty, but I just don't have time (or honestly the drive) to read all the new posts for the RP, and I know I don't deserve an ounce of your effort if I won't out in any myself, but I think the best way for me to join the RP is if we carefully plan it out, like the idea you had for Marsh to enslave Brandon.

    I've been pretty busy myself lately. Don't sweat it. And I totally understand the lack of motivation to read all the posts; the only reason I've tried to do so is because it's my job as game master for this thread. :P

    I'll let you know when I think of a good way to insert you. ;)

    Gwen is only human.

    Gwen's been on the run for several days. She hasn't slept, barely eaten, and constantly stressed, what with the surfacing of the corrupted White Council, the arrival of the Morai, and the Knights' misunderstanding about her recent murder-preventions. She had no friends to watch her back, so she never felt secure enough to sleep.

    Just a basic human need there.

    I think Sono and Luke are the only ones who don't know that Gwen is the Queen. Ignorance is bliss.

    Darkwatck's picture
    Darkwatck

    Blesse does not believe Gwen is the queen. She believes in the facts at large and based of the profile Gwen does not fit the description of the Queen or the fact she killed people. So as it stands based of anecdotal evidence yes Gwen is the Queen, based on Hard evidence Gwen is clean.

    If Cicero and Gwen happen to come back to Haven, Sono is in the arcade waiting for Cicero. More than likely still asleep.

    Wait, Sono went down the same elevator gate Cicero and Gwen are in. So instead of Sono stopping in the next depth, he'd be at that room place? Or... wait....

    The elevator only stops at that nook if you force it or jam it to a stop. It will otherwise proceed normally to the next depth.

    Blesse is just trying to help everyone out by giving over the location and predetermined path based on the route Ciceco called from. It will help get us all back on track as well as give information to point everyone in a direction.

    Xindao knows when s*** is going down in the "good" neighborhood. He's the most observant blind man ever...

    Edolas, precious, time to wakey wakey. Xindao's plucking Anguis from the ground, and you're totally getting involved. Deal with the friendliness. :oD HoNk.

    Why are you so evil :L Also Thin, they are not going to try and kill you. The Order has given the order to take Gwen Alive, as for Ciceco. Well depending on his actions he will be slapped on the wrist and let go for nothing more then just being around her, unless he was trying to help (Which has been noted) in that case he will be facing the same court system but for the crime of aiding a wanted man (Woman).
