Brave

YOU SON OF A BITCH ;~;

Still in development; I'm working on a prologue as we speak. It's not easy getting back into the swing of things, especially with how hectic things are being the closer it gets to my departure date for vacation.

How to deal with r00d pplz Nirvash style Step 1 - Encounter r00d person (02:45:17) Elite A-One: yo (02:45:37) Elite A-One: Whats up all (02:45:44) Summer: Can't see trees no more (02:45:47) *** Elite A-One is awesome *** (02:45:47) Summer: Sky (02:46:14) *** Elite A-One ia amazing. *** (02:46:18) +Nirvash: Meredy. (02:46:26) Elite A-One: hello (02:46:33) Hurricane Katrina: Damn you, Samsung. (02:46:35) +Nirvash: One of these days, we need to get Amethyst really, REALLY high and record what she says. (02:46:37) +Kirito: Although in all seriousness, it's 3 AM and I'm sorta kinda drifting by on sugar and caffine. (02:46:47) +Kirito: So I think I'm going to crash for a couple hours. (02:46:54) +Nirvash: Fred. (02:46:56) Ravenshawk: Helo (02:47:07) +Meredy: I think I might make an alt on PMU.. (02:47:08) +Kirito: Yes, I read your post. Step 2 - SASS (02:47:11) Elite A-One: I wanna be mod (02:47:26) +Nirvash: Rule #88: If drifting by on sugar and caffeine, don't go to sleep. You stick it out and then go unconscious like a real man. (02:47:40) Summer: Haaaaze (02:47:43) Ravenshawk: Hello (02:47:44) +Kirito: ... That's rule #188. (02:47:50) Ravenshawk: Im new here (02:47:50) +Nirvash: Whatever, still counts. (02:47:51) +Nirvash: @ Elite A-One: Congrats, you just made it so that you'll never be one here. Step 3 - Wait for an opening. (02:48:54) +Nirvash: Whut up. (02:49:10) Elite A-One: what did u say (02:49:16) Elite A-One: i didnt get it (02:49:24) Elite A-One: the congrates thing (02:49:26) +Kirito: He's saying that we don't give mod out here to random people who just pop in. ^^; (02:49:29) +Nirvash: ...I can probably guess where this is going but okay. (02:49:34) +Nirvash: (02:47:51) +Nirvash: @ Elite A-One: Congrats, you just made it so that you'll never be one here. (02:49:44) +Nirvash: Asking to be a mod pretty much cements that you'll never be one. (02:49:46) Elite A-One: ok Wait for it... (02:49:54) +Nirvash: Besides, we already ahve people up for consideration and you JUST got here. (02:49:56) Elite A-One: hey (02:50:00) Summer: you could always (02:50:06) Summer: go for admin (02:50:08) Summer: jk (02:50:13) +Nirvash: Hush, Raymond. (02:50:15) +Kirito: Ahahaha. (02:50:16) +Nirvash: Go play in the mist. (02:50:22) +Kirito: Over my cold, dead, drop-dead sexy body. (02:50:37) +Nirvash: Damn it, Fred. (02:50:40) Summer: It's not mist (02:50:44) +Nirvash: Stop flauting your sexy in public. (02:50:44) Summer: It's smoke (02:50:50) +Nirvash: You're killing Matt's self esteem. (02:50:52) *** Elite A-One put a gun onto Nirvashs head and tell him/her to make Elite A-One a Mod. *** Step 4 - MOAR SASS! Also, fire the Quartz Gun (02:50:58) +Kirito: I can't help it I don't have an off switch. ;-; (02:51:00) Elite A-One: :-) (02:51:03) +Nirvash: ....Oh, how cute. (02:51:06) +Nirvash: I have a gun, too. (02:51:09) +Kirito: ... (02:51:10) +Nirvash: You wanna see it? :3 Nirvash fired the Quartz Gun and erased Elite A-One from History (02:51:11) Lan: .w. (02:51:12) +Kirito: Hooh boy. This will be on the test.

(02:30:25) +Kirito: Q.Q (02:30:25) +Meredy: I said intervention not Chris Hanson (02:30:36) +Meredy: is this where you run out and get tackled and tazered by Lexii? (02:30:40) +Kirito: The latter is kinda his catchprhase though. (02:30:48) *** Nirvash tackles and tazes Fred as he tries to escape. *** (02:30:55) +Nirvash: Nope. (02:31:40) +Nirvash: By me.

(02:32:34) +Kirito: I will mexican suplex you. (02:32:40) +Nirvash: You can't even suplex me. (02:33:12) +Kirito: No but I have a freshly sharpened sword and Suplex is New-Spanglish for Shank. (02:33:32) +Nirvash: You make a very pursuasive point. (02:33:33) +Meredy: meanwhile in gun land (02:33:35) +Nirvash: However. (02:33:36) +Nirvash: No. (02:33:52) [Amigo3] Red: so not in the best of moods right now i might get off (02:33:57) +Nirvash: My two-year-old nephew recently learned that word. (02:34:02) +Nirvash: It's been Hell for all involved. (02:34:07) +Kirito: Shank? (02:34:13) +Nirvash: "no" (02:34:17) +Kirito: ... Oh. (02:34:24) +Nirvash: If he knew what "Shank" meant, Fred, I'd be more than a little bit worried. (02:34:28) +Nirvash: like (02:34:30) +Nirvash: "Evan, what." (02:34:35) +Nirvash: "No, put the knife down." (02:34:41) +Kirito: I'm just saying, shank would be entertaining. (02:34:46) +Nirvash: "EVAN NO, DON'T STAB YOUR FATHER THERE HE NEEDS THAT LEG!" (02:34:53) +Nirvash: "GODDAMN IT, EVAN, RUDY (02:35:00) +Nirvash: *RUDY'S BLEEDING! YOU LITTLE SHIT!" (02:35:04) +Nirvash: "THIS IS ALL FRED'S FAULT!" (02:35:12) +Kirito: Oh sure, blame the mexican! D: (02:35:16) Summer: haha (02:35:31) +Nirvash: "THIS IS ALL RICKI'S FAULT!" (02:35:39) +Kirito: Far better! (02:35:46) +Kirito: It's always Ricki's fault. (02:35:58) +Nirvash: That's Rule 0. (02:36:02) +Nirvash: Everything is Ricki's fault.

(17:44:02) +Ikaru: if all else fails I have this PokeBall (17:44:26) *** Phoenix used his own blood to draw a transmutation circle *** (17:44:34) +Nirvash: We need at least an Ultra Ba-- what is he doing.

(22:11:29) +Mczipo: Did you know (22:11:32) +Mczipo: Horizon (22:11:34) +Mczipo: is (22:11:36) +Mczipo: bad (22:11:41) [Hail] Epic C: no (22:11:43) [Hail] Epic C: Horizon (22:11:43) [Hail] Epic C: is (22:11:44) [Hail] Epic C: a (22:11:45) TitaSilver: Does that mean you whip her to make her be good?

(19:33:37) Aaron: You know Crescendo and Serenade? (19:33:48) +Amethyst: It's been a while since I played, but I think I got to that one place in Baroque where you fight Rondo (19:33:51) +Amethyst: Yeah? (19:33:54) Aaron: They eventually join your party, near the end of the game. (19:34:00) Aaron: Not in the XBOX version. (19:34:03) +Amethyst: Ooh. (19:34:18) +Amethyst: I would be disappointed if they didn't, after the mirrorworld stuff (19:34:36) Aaron: The strongest character ever is absent from the game. (serenade.) (19:34:46) +Amethyst: So wait, how does the party thing work end-game, do you just have like all what, 20 characters and you can switch freely? (19:34:55) Aaron: Yeah. (19:34:58) +Amethyst: Baller. (19:35:05) Aaron: With the exception of Claves. (19:35:08) Aaron: Unless you pick her up. (19:35:08) +Amethyst: Also, Serenade, strongest? I don't remember her being that good... Can we just all please take a moment to appreciate the fact that Amethyst just said "Baller"?

You wanna know the one of the fun parts about this? Or one thing about this, anyway. The character building. Usually, it's a snap for me but this time around it's a little difficult so what I did is create kinda like... Archetypes. Personality archetypes based off people I know. Write what you know, yeah? Of course, it's a lot easier than building someone from scratch and "people I know" is a category extends into Reborn. So I think it'd be nice to let you guys know who's who in this world. Please don't get offended if you're not on this thing; chances are you might end up on it later because this is subject to change on my whim. It's just that I don't know you all that well right now. ----- Enrique Vega . Cadmian . Male . Age 21 A wandering nobleman from a large and very prominent family in Phoenet. Naive and adventurous, womanizing but chivalrous. Fights with a bayonet that fires compressed mana bullets and has a blade for close range combat. He's very flighty, hates being tied down and values his freedom above all else. Sees the world as a wondrous and beautiful thing that he wants to experience as much of as possible before he eventually becomes unable to travel. Smarter than he acts but oftentimes needs things explained to him, and he doesn't have much of an opinion. He prefers to keep his thoughts to himself. Loves gladiatorial combat but in actual combat, is a bit of a coward. Has a pet miniature dragon named Mira. (Personality Archetype: Kirito) Kyrie Granz . Human . Female . Age 22 A knight of the realm of Sancta Lumina with the distinction of being both a woman and very young. Comes from a family with a long history of military service and places her duty to queen and country above even her own life and sometimes, those of her comrades. Kyrie will carry out her orders without fail or question in an effort to prove herself in the eyes of her peers and kingdom. Demure and respectful but spirited and iron-willed. Fights with traditional sword and shield in the "civilized" and famous style of the Sancta Lumina knights. Though she often charges ahead in the absence of orders, she is a paragon of knighthood and dedication. Bound to the Holy Dragon Astaroth, 29th of the Pantheon and the Spirit of Temptation and the Stalwart. (Personality Archetype: Aquamarine) Grigori Mackswell . Spriggan . Male . Age 29 A talented performer with stage fright and a lack of confidence in himself. Grigori searches for a purpose in life, feeling out of place and lonely when he looks at himself compared to the people around him. As such, he's always willing to help and try his hand at anything new in the hopes of finding his "true calling". As a Spriggan, he's talented at illusion magic and uses it in his storytelling. Not much of a fighter at all, with no formal training in any martial art style or weapon, and he lacks the basic will to fight. Believes in acting civilized but is very much controlled by his emotions, and receptive to those of the people around him. Meek, but with a hidden courage and nobility. (Personality Archetype: Eternal Edge) Izet Lore . Cadmian . Male . Age 33 An assassin/mercenary of the Shadow Quarter with a reputation for mechanical efficiency and being steeped in sin. His motives, beyond payment and indulgence, are never clear but he's prepared for almost any eventuality and, unlike typical Cadmians, hates magic. Merciless and cruel. Proud and vain to a fault, always trying to look his best and prove his superiority to others. Has a hidden loyalty streak and an odd set of morals that is best summarized as "there is honor among thieves". A competent leader, though he'd much rather go solo. Can breathe fire. A close range fighter who favors daggers and short swords. (Personality Archetype: Vex) Nadine Aspiza . Human . Female . Age 15 A resident of Xianwu born into a normal, loving family in the merchant quarter with a normal life and normal friends. A magic prodigy whose skill is a testament more to her unfailing determination as opposed to any inborn potential. A dreamer with a bad case of wanderlust and in a hurry to grow up and strike out on her own. Marchosias chose her to be his contractor in the upcoming game, uprooting her and sending her out into the world unprepared. Though mature beyond her years, she has her moments of childishness and is a hopeless romantic with a penchant for pairing off people she knows/meets. Fights with a grimoire of spells she compiled, both learned and created herself, as well as tattoos common among mages and magic users. (Personality Archetype: Nadia Star) Edenburgh Simpson . Cadmian . Female . Age 20 Goes by "Eden" among her friends. A missionary and ardent worshipper of Leraje, the 14th Daemon Lord and spirit of Love, Verity and Freedom. Though her technical job is to inform people of her faith and convert them, she's not very good at her job. She doesn't speak unless spoken to and believes that regardless of her religion, people should be able to choose their own path, though she will extol Leraje's virtues to anyone who asks. Endearingly clumsy, wise, insightful, observant and kind but not without her moments of vitriol. Is more of a cleric with support and healing category Light magic but is more than capable of causing devastation. Dresses a bit oddly and is noted for having a large pair of dragon wings that allow her functional flight, a rarity among her race. (Personality Archetype: Amethyst) Brago Tyvan . Cadmian . Male . Age 27 Son of Count Alexei Tyvan, the current head of the citystate of Xianwu and descendant of the first people to settle there. Witty and laid back; doesn't let the world get to him and takes things in stride. Can be lazy but excels at anything he puts his mind to which, at the moment, is using this situation to his advantage by turning it into a way to put Xianwu on par with the world superpowers. Has his own unusual brand of wisdom and an odd aloof confidence. Fights with full-contact storm magic and has since learned to breathe lightning over the usual firebreath inherent to his kind. Does not have wings or horns; the only thing remotely Cadmian about him are his pointed ears, nails and fangs. Inexplicably attracts women to him as a result of his personality as opposed to his status but still gets his fair share of golddiggers. His fiancee is not amused. (Personality Archetype: Renzo AKA Xiphera) Sophia del Sparna . Yenhal Tribeswoman . Female . Age 19 A lioness type huntress from the wastelands west of Xianwu. Childlike and sheltered to the point of ignorance as a result of never having left her village. It's so bad, she believes the entire world is contained in the expanse of the Sparna Wasteland. Fairly unintelligent but sincere and with unmatched instincts and speed. She is curious about everything so when given the chance to leave her village -- a place famous even among her race for its extraordinary sense of community -- she takes it against the collective will of the village. Eager to learn and trusting to a fault; believes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Fights with twin short swords. (Personality Archetype: Sophie Star AKA Miku Hatsune) Klonoa Maruvo . Spriggan . Male . Age 38 A man with an odd past and no biological family to speak of. His profession as a beastmaster-type warlock has given him many familiars who he considers family but he's still a loner and longs for sentient companionship. Klonoa is a paradox who believes the world is an unforgiving place and the the weak inevitably get devoured or destroyed, but he holds a soft spot in his heart for those who can't fight for themselves, taking it upon himself to help them become strong enough. However, he's still cold and an extended absence of sentient contact has left him with a less than firm grasp of social customs that he often mixes up, and an inability to express the kinder side of him. He's a fair bit shorter than most but doesn't mind it. His small size leads many to underestimate him. (Personality Archetype: Entei AKA Colin) Lindzei Evans . Human . Female . Age 40 A deadly combination of magic and physical strength, Lindzei is a master of a fighting style she invented herself involving a magic she named Forge and several varying arts. Forge is one of the most versatile magics on the planet and allows her to make anything out of anything. Mostly, this translates to weapons and most of the ones she creates, she knows how to use. Possessing a gregarious personality from growing up with a large family, Lindzei loves the company of others but is often too busy on jobs to really enjoy it. Used to being in total control, she's extremely happy with her life and has no plans to change it, resisting any form of change vehemently. Loud, opinionated and energetic, she's the one to point out both the obvious and the not-so-obvious whenever given a chance. (Personality Archetype: Mashew) Talius Tarvos . Yenhal Tribesman . Male . Age 52 A wolf-type Yenhal and experienced mage who has tattooed most of his body in magic arrays. Exceedingly reckless with more than a few screws loose, Talius is forever eager to experiment with new spell combinations, carrying a small library of grimoires as his weapon and is able to utilize them by way of the massive Gravity command encompassing his back and arms. Adopted the last name Tarvos and goes by it whenever referring to himself in an effort to attract attention and a bit more fame. A bright and famous scholar who invented many spells ranging from useful household techniques to devastating King's Orders. Normally hates children but will make an exception to those with the will to learn and advance. Apart from his tattoos, he's never without a few scars and bruises from his experiments, prompting many to wonder how he's even still alive. (Personality Archetype: Poeseph) Aldric Ravan . Human . Male . Age 46 A misanthropic mechanist residing in the mountain settlement of Croyse. Originally from the Ardhama Desert, Aldric has seen most of the worst that the world and its people have to offer and, while jaded before, holds little hope for anyone bar his four illegitimate children and those who've proven their worth as people. Has a bitingly "real" sense of humor. Bitter and regretful about the way much of his life has turned out, Aldric is an incredible father and wants to make it so his kids don't end up like him. Inhumanly durable and with a beard that devours most of his face. Fights with mechanical gauntlets which are really the arms of an ancient mecha and sometimes a giant wrench. One of the few of the world's total population completely incapable of using any form of magic. (Personality Archetype: Huggyboo) Jarvis Viktorya . Human . Male . Age 30 Regna Sancta Lumina's third prince, Jarvis Viktorya, faces charges of treason. In the wake of a massacre by the hands of a cult thought to now exist only in textbooks, Jarvis is left soaked in blood and framed for the brutal crime. Melancholy and solitary, but somehow able to attract people Jarvis is difficult to figure out. He does decently in social situations and excels at blending into high society but he's a known recluse. That same quality is responsible for making him the perfect target for framing but he's been trying to grow out of it, if only to keep from being badgered to go out and find a wife. Sadly, he lacks the will to even do that (among other things) and has no interest in ascending to the throne. A wayward soul. Doesn't really believe in any of the Daemon Lords. Fights with a rapier in the style of the royal family. (Personality Archetype: Ikaru)

AN ORIGINAL BY NIRVASH Rating: 17+ (for safety purposes) SUMMARY: Not once in this world’s history has it ever seen such peace. Prosperity. Unparalleled stability. A golden age has finally come. Technology, knowledge and magic advance in leaps and bounds; international relations are the best they’ve ever been and aside from a few minor skirmishes, there has not been a major outbreak of war in decades. And yet, somehow, amidst all this positivity there is discontent. Apprehension. It is not felt by the inhabitants of the world but by its guardian: King Solomon, the Ever-present. The world grows stagnant, he muses. The spark that once galvanized it and which drives it forward grows weaker with each passing year and if it continues along this path, the world will stop spinning altogether. But his time grows limited, and for all the methods and all the power at his disposal, Solomon cannot do anything to prevent it. Concerned, but prohibited from direct interference in the affairs of the world, Solomon reaches out to those in the world possessing power similar to his own. To the 72 Daemon Lords of the Pantheon, he issues a proclamation: “Those born of the will of the earth, I impart these words to you: Sentinel. And observer. Tis what I am to this world and have been since its inception. It was my honor and great fortune to serve as such. Yet my chapter draws to a close. This world will soon be without my guardianship but irregardless of me, I dread that progress will halt soon after. And though I cannot mold this world in a way that I see fit, I love it dearly. To see everything culminate in a manner so unceremonious, so undignified... Such is not my will. This world is meant for more. So much more. And so, I beseech you, do not let so ill a fate befall my beloved. Drive this world forward. Breathe new life into it and rekindle its spirit. Bring the full force of your powers to bear and choose the best among you, and when a victor has been chosen, they will have but one more task to fulfill. Find me. Find me and I shall tell you everything. This is my last will and testament.” In the wake of this announcement, the Daemons reawaken and set out to fulfill Solomon’s wish, each one with their own agenda. Unlike Solomon, the Daemons are capable of directly affecting the world from which they were born so, for them, winning means earning the right to chart out a new path for the world. However, for the purposes of the contest, they are forbidden from direct confrontation. Conflict between beings of power on a scale like that would spell worldwide havoc and mass destruction. To avoid this, they must act by proxies in the form of human champions bound to their new lord’s will through a contract. But not every contract is made willingly, as is the case with Nadine Aspiza, a teenage magician in training from the citystate of Xianwu. Highly intelligent and skilled as a result of unfailing determination, she has a normal life with a loving family, great friends and a very bad case of the wanderlust. The world she’s seen in the books; she wants to see it and experience it for herself. Her wish is granted and her peaceful life is shattered via contract with Marchosias, 35th of the Daemonic Pantheon and the Spirit of Warriors and Ambition. The birth of a new pact attracts the eye of every other Daemon and champion within range, all of whom want her lord out of the running, and bringing down Marchosias potentially involves killing Nadine. Forced into a game she wants no part of, Nadine is chased into Xianwu’s underground, the Shadow Quarter, in search of a mercenary willing to bodyguard her. Enter Runoh Mithri, a taciturn warrior with a perpetual air of age and exhaustion about him. Reluctant, but motivated by the promise of a large sum of money for his trouble, Runoh agrees to guard the girl. And so he does, following Nadine as she searches the world desperately for a way out of her contract with Marchosias, while trying to keep the Daemon from contracting any more people. Nadine fails to realize two things: By binding with Marchosias, she’s been given access to his power. Immense power on an incalculable scale. Such power invariably draws people to it. Power like that can actualize what one sees in their mind. It is the ultimate wish-granter; an inescapable whirlpool of limitless promise and no matter what will come to pass, there is no way out of this. Her options, according to Marchosias... “...are victory or death, and victory is not obtained with idle hands. Nor is it won by the heart of a coward. Life is not so easy. This game is not so easy and I chose you for that very reason. If you think you can take the fast way out or give up entirely, you are sorely mistaken. There is no easy way to succeed Solomon.” ---- This is a bit of a pet project of mine and I figured I'd share it with you guys. I didn't know exactly where to put it so here in the Distortion World it stays. This thread is for the main story and character bios, as well as descriptions of locales, the races and their cultures. Basically, the story and any/all information pertinent to the story and that I deem necessary for you to better understand it. There's a fuckton of info in this thing, folks. Also, heads up: I might start a partner thread to this one for little one-shots. Basically short stories that pop into my head involving the characters, whether or not they've been introduced or are in a completely different area or what have you. Hope you guys enjoy. Let's have some fun, now, shall we?

I KNOW THAT FUCKING FEEL. Had a Haitian accent but I moved here when I was like 3 and it disappeared with time.

Until about 4 minutes ago, I had recently forgotten that I am absolutely in love with Estelle. Her voice is quite literally angelic. But maybe that’s just me; I have a weakness thing for girls that can sing. Can’t explain it; don’t have to just know if she’s cute, fun and can sing, I want to marry her.

Interesting.
