Raindrop Valkyrie

TFW you knew something about a tier you don't even play..... Glad I could help XD.

Not that it super duper matters, though it would be a good idea to mention that not only does roar phaze set-up sweepers it also racks up some SR damage. This can definitely assist in chipping away at some pokes ((and heck, could pull out stuff Vivillion and do a butt load of damage to it that it didn't want to take.)). So, it could be a worthwhile strategy to keep in mind against certain teams especially if they carry rock weak mons. As I am not 100% familiar with the the tier...not sure this suggestion will matter, but Psyshock could be mentioned as a possible alternative to Extrasensory... but I am not actually sure if it hits anything for better damage than Extrasensory will. Flamethrower could also be listed as a more accurate STAB move, but I feel Ninetales really can't afford to run it. Its SpAtk is pretty middling so any extra power is pretty much needed. Anyways, the team is pretty air tight, or at least it seems to be to me, hence why I am bringing up pretty minor junk lol. I rather like the crew ya got here and it flows well with most things being covered and nothing completely running through the team. ((I still personally believe Fire is a better Defensive type than people think. Most are probably put off by rocks damage being 25%, but eh. This is why I kinda dig the Ninetales set as it looks like it makes a rather decent bulky attacker, and with Flash Fire it can grab a nice boost for itself sometimes which might mitigate it's bleh SpAtk. That or it will at least deter them from just throwing Will-o-Wisps and Fire Moves around like candy. An interesting set that I am sure many aren't entirely prepared for when they face your team.))

As I previously said Good Sir Tacos, it was PA-PA-PAPOWERFUL conversation. There really isn't much more to say other than be in the skype more brah.

"Listen to your musics, now listen to Arkhidon's, now back to yours, now back to Ark's. Sadly, it isn't Ark's, but if you listened to as powerful of music as he does, you could be a master of all things musical like Ark. Look Down, now back up. Ark just posted a song he thinks you would enjoy, Look again, now you entire playlist is full of the sweet musics of the gods. Everything is possible when you are the amorous god of all things musical in nature like Ark. Also, he likes AtokNiiro." for my Arky-Kun.~

It was a PA-PA-POWERFUL discussion Arky-kun. All that needs to be known.

the IC is up, have at it folks. *bows.*

It was a bleak and dreary night, it was the dead of Winter. It was the time when snow assaulted Aurora in waves. It was nearly a blizzard tonight, snowflakes battered the world and those that braved the storm. They covered the world in white. Normally the sun would glisten off the new snow, casting a brilliant light and blinding light everywhere. However, the blizzard blocked out the sun almost entirely. Small amounts of light leaked through the assaulting storm, giving it a sort of greyish hue. 8 individuals slowly gathered in the giant temple in the middle of the town of Winter's Bite. Where they came from, and why they were there... well it didn't really matter. Fate had lead them there on this day somehow or another. It didn't matter the specifics of how or why, details like that rarely mattered in the long run. It was the tale of their mighty deeds that stuck, not the tale of how they arrived at their mighty deeds. It didn't matter if they were a peasant, or a knight, a orphan, or whatever else. Deeds where more important than histories. *** Candlelight was the only thing that lit a small room. And Old man stood at the alter of the temple lighting small sky blue candles around the room. "Ivar, set out the food for our guests, we mustn't be rude. They deserve a bit of hospitality before we ask them on such a dangerous mission." he said in a crackly voice. He was speaking to a young disciple of the temple, one who had lived here in Winter's Bite most his life, Ivar Whistlewind. He would be part of this meeting. This was the grand Temple of Lady Aelia, or the Temple of Howling Winds. It was the second largest temple to Aelia in Aurora. It was the first stop on the Path of Faithful Wind, a pilgrimage many believers of Aelia walked every year to show their faith. As, such it was a busy temple, until recently. But that was what this meeting was about and hopefully the guests would soon arrive. ((now the you can each introduce your character as they arrive at the temple, describe them to the audience etc...etc... at the end of your post have them sit somewhere at the large table set in the middle of the room. The player who is Ivar, you character is already here, so feel free to intro him by following Grand Cleric Ivo Battlehorn's instructions, or whatever you wish. You can include how your character heard of the job, how they got here, etc. But, be creative and give us an idea of who they are. Once all the characters are intro'd I will lay out the plot etc and we can get a move on.))

Actually yea, sorry has been awhile since I read the series lol. Though it was a little more useful than that. Mostly because Oohagan taught people who knew bugger all about magic. She((whatever that woman's name was.)) was teaching people who had been learning for like a few years lol.

He more or less taught magic on paper without using the casting of a spell. Essentially, he taught the part of magic to defend oneself from the dangers of using itself, what not to do etc... ((think if in Harry Potter, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts, if they didn't do any of the parts with actual casting.)) He also taught minor spells, mostly stuff every Wizard needed to know, but it was simple stuff. Oohagan mostly taught novices that didn't have control over their magic, or those that had 0 experience. Basically, the primer to magic. ((this is my way of explaining why he is rather weaker of a Magician. He has a midn for magic, and he understands it, he just never honed his craft entirely. He can cast spells, but never was a super powerful wizard himself, and for awhile he was content with that, but now something changed his mind. What did that and what drives him to travel, that is entirely up to you.))

Oohagan is sorta a Dumbledore-esque character at least when I was writing him. ((you can do whatever you want with him though, but I had basic character clues or over-aching themes I worked into each to give you a clue on where to start and then I would leave it up to the players.)). In my head he was very much that mysterious guy that you knew was on your side, but wasn't telling you everything, like he just knew something, but wouldn't tell anybody. All the characters have a few context clues, but nothing pushes you in a direction with them, it more or less guides you or gives you something to hook onto and push your own way. Like with Roose, I left that backstory that she was the product of an affair and yet she kept the surname of that family. Why? I said something generic that she wanted remember where she came from, but you could want to remember that for different reasons. Maybe Roose is an optimistic person and wishes to use that to show herself how far she came from those days, Maybe she keeps it as a reminder of the life she was robbed of, the luxury she could have had, the one not sown with fighting and bleeding and working to make a living. Maybe she keeps it to spite them and maybe have her Name be more important than theirs one day. All possible options, and there are probably many more. You can take these characters many places personality wise and really customize them to your wants still, I just gave you a skeleton a foundation on which to paint your character fully. You get to add the detail. So, go hog wild folks. (( jsut make sure I have some of an idea, it is helpful to know some about your characters for me as the host.)).

Viktor took Miss Archer to all the standard places, the big sights to see in new York, the things everyone came to see. And while they were wonderful and grand, everyone came to see them in the end. They lost a bit of that charm, knowing that thousands shared the same view everyday. But, this is why Viktor had a few places in mind where to go. After the tour they stopped a small family owned restaurant. A place called Morning Dove. It was a rather small restaurant, and while it wasn't a suit and tie attire place, it was no trash dump either. It was that middle of the road kind of deal, that was fancy enough to be better than fast food, but wasn't high flutin' fine dining either. Just simple food for people that wanted to enjoy a meal. It smelled wonderful. All sorts of smells lingered from the day, it was late at night, but the place was still open. They might have been winding down the kitchen for the day as they was almost nobody there anymore. "We are closing for the day, nobody else." a big looking italian man said from behind the counter. That was until his face lit up. "Oh Viktor! Never mind we always got food for you. And who is this? She your date?" he said eyeing Miss Archer. Viktor flushed red all of a sudden. He looked a bit embarrassed by the comment '"N-N-no, she is just a friend Giuseppe.." "Whatever you say Vik." he said with a little smile. "I will get busy on your usual buddy. But, you and the lady take a seat, Luigi will be out to get her order in a bit." He promptly trudged off to the kitchen. "After you Miss Archer." Viktor said with a small bow, allowing her to pick where to they would be seated.

Zix knew very little of the order Ayak belonged to, as to Zix, orders went against his philosophy entirely. Zix cared little for social constructs or anything that restricted the free will of an individual in any way. In fact, Ayak would probably sense a small amount of disdain at least from Zix. Zix wouldn't hate his order though. He knew that order was necessary sometimes to prevent chaos from going on checked, however, he didn't wish to be a part of it himself. The Silent Winter was different, the Callers from which he came from. Only one existed at a time. They passed all their knowledge to a pupil and promptly disappeared from the world. It was usually left within the Orb, and learned from there. This way if the Master of the Orb was felled before his time, one who could wield its power would come and find it. They would be drawn to it like Zix himself was. Caprion knew of his order very well however. Knowing it full well, he was entirely indifferent. This Satyr cared extremely little for the affairs of mortals. They were boring to him and it was clear on his features and mannerisms. After Zix had told him the origin of his companions he lost interest almost entirely, seemingly withdrawing back into himself. He only really conversed with Zix afterwards, which was strange given how little he apparently cared for mortals. Apparently, Zix was more interesting than your typical Mortal. "You deal in the more mundane of spirits then, that isn't weak. I am sure there are many things you can do that I cannot Ayak. I am merely a vessel that calls into the void and brings forth the beings that answer the call." Zix spoke up. Caprion, clearly bored pulled out his pan flute. They were rather interestingly made. Probably made from the tusk or horn of same strange creature. Across the top ran a band of pure silver, in it inscribed small reliefs. It had nearly 30 different pipes and was large and seemingly unwieldy, and yet he made it look like nothing. It was as loud as he was but, it was a beautiful piece. As much a work art as music that would be played on it. He played a short and haunting melody before going into something more light-hearted and playful. It was a soft and beautiful tune. Never too harsh, never rushed. It calmly glided from note to note.

*head explodes* Hiyas Acquie. Alright, at some point tomorrow I will randomly assign the Characters and post them here, and then start writing up the IC. Thanks for participating all of you. *bows.* wasn't sure if I would get a full bunch glad to have you all.

To my knowledge it doesn't matter where it was/he didn't have a place where it was that I know of at least. AND THAT IS MY HOME STATE!!! WHY SI ALL THE CREEPY SHIT IN PA?!?!!?!??!??!1!

You should be, the Death Angels are supposed to be powerful. But, the Death ANgels might not be the onlyt hing to worry about. *whistles*

Oh okay thanks lol, was using one on my team and had Gyro Ball mostly since I never used HS before and didn't know if it was any good. I guess that makes perfect sense though lol.

Question, Why Heavy Slam over Gyro Ball? I am pretty new to NU so might have to bare with me. I mean Lix's speed is so low anyway. I am guessing due to better control over the base power or something?

Could be 3 big battles depending on how events unfold, not even joking.

If they get back before hand we can finish it out via PM if need be lol. Have to think of places Viktor would go after showing her the normal touristy stuff. Probably a small time family restaurant he liked and otherwise probably somewhere he likes to go to reflect. I have to decide exactly what though lol.
