Introduction
Story: “there is a tale I wish to tell you, it’s one that every child in this land should have heard at least once. This is the story of how our land was created and how every creature that calls this land home was created.”
“in the beginning there was only darkness, there was nothing. No good no evil only emptiness. That was when the god, Zanfref showed himself, he created Anatia, the home of the gods and angels. He then created the gods who would help him look over the world he was going to create. after creating the gods, he named himself king of the gods and then created Hantra, the land we call home. He then created all of the creatures of Hantra, he watched as they all interacted with each other. He was proud of his creations, but he then noticed that things were going to well, everything was prospering and soon the land became to over populated. Zanfref knew he had to fix this, so he created Vanyel, the goddess of order and chaos, he gave her the task of making his created world balanced. Vanyel did as she was commanded and she created good and evil, allowing the creatures of Hantra to kill one another for land or for power. The land became balanced and Zanfref was once again proud.
But you see all good things never last, Vanyel soon became corrupted by her chaotic side, her order side tried to control the tainted parts, but it soon gave up and split Vanyel into two different divine beings, Vanya, the goddess of order and good and then Aryella, the goddess of chaos and evil. Aryella being the naturally evil goddess she was, began plotting. She wanted to rule Anatia and become the queen of the gods, she began manipulating some of the other gods and goddess while Zanfref wasn’t paying attention. Aryella was able to split the gods and goddess, and she then started a war. This war went on for years causing disasters in Hanta, like wars, floods, tornados, fires and wide spread of killer diseases. The creatures of Hantra were dying in large numbers. Zanfref tried to quell the anger within his children. But he was powerless, he discovered that he made his fellow gods to powerful. On Hanta the creatures tried offering sacrifices to the gods to quell their anger, but it had no affect. Zanfref then came up with a idea, he forced all of the gods and goddess to stop fighting. He then had Vanya and Aryella fight one another to see which side would win. After months of fighting Vanya was able to win after receiving some assistance from Zanfref. After the war Aryella was cased out of Anatia and she was sent to live in Cortia, which is said to be in the center of Hantra. Zanfref then named Vanya as the queen of the gods, he then used his own body as chains to lock Aryella away in Cortia, this is where she remains, but Aryella was tricky, she used her corrupting powers of Zanfref, to loosen his hold on her. She was able to open a small crack within Cortia and she then began creating her own creatures, the elders call them Devatori we know them as demons. They escaped Cortia and arrived in Hantra, they then began creating mayhem for the creatures of Hantra, no one could stop them. Many warriors and mages tried, but it seemed nothing could defeat the demons.
When all hope seemed to be lost a young priestess appeared, she called herself a priestess of Vanya, she said she was blessed with Vanya’s powers and she could defeat the demons. The creatures of Hantra put their faith in this woman and the strongest and bravest warriors and mages joined her on her quest to defeat, the demons and send them back to Cortia. After months of fighting and journeying they pushed the demons back and arrived at the entrance to Cortia, there are many different interpretations to this part, some say the priestess and her companions all died, but from the priestess death the opening to Cortia was sealed, others say the priestess fought against Aryella’s strongest demons and then after defeating them sealed the opening, but then afterward her and her companions all died from the power. But what all seem to agree on is that the priestess and her companions die. After sealing the opening, the demons no longer terrorize the creatures of Hantra, the peace lasted for one thousand years, that was when the seal broke and the demons flooded into Hantra, another priestess appeared, but after resealing the crack, the seal only lasted for one hundred years. Priestess after priestess showed themselves, but none could seal the crack for good. But now it seems that the seal is finally holding, the last priestess sealed the crack over two thousand years ago. Well I hope you enjoyed my story.”
Plot: Ok, first I know that was long, but I hope it was enjoyable. Now the story of the priestess will have something to do with our story. It will be the main focus, but there will be a few sub plots that I will put in to slow the priestess part a little. I want this to be enjoyable for everyone.
Oh and just so everyone knows this story may go a little fast at some points, so just make sure you stay active, I will do my best to make sure no one gets left behind.
Co-gm: I would like to have one or two co- gm(s), but if you want to be my co-gm I ask that you please be able to write detailed post and have interesting characters, I don’t want to put my faith into someone who can’t handle this.
Things you will need to know-
Anatia- the realm of the gods and angels. This place is supposed to be holy and no normal creature of Hanta is ever supposed to reach this place. Anatia is depicted a white castle on top of the highest mountain, it is said that only the holiest priests and priestesses are able to visit this place
Hantra- the land where the creatures created by Zanfref live, this land is vast, but about sixty percent of the land is surrounded by water, most of Hantra has advanced technology, things like flying cars and robots are seen through out all of Hantra, but there are a few places in Hantra where the way of life is considered “primitive.”
Hantra has two main cities that are known as the “hearts of Hantra” because of how important they are to Hantra’s economy. The first city is Lantzia, it is as the scholars city, because most scientist and mages live in this city, they make scientific discoveries and perform magic once thought to be impossible. This city also houses a large special crystal known as Lantzium, this crystal like substance is what powers all of Hantra, it also is what gives the mages of Hantra their magical abilities, Lantzium is still being studied, the scientist of Hantra all want to discover what makes Lantzium such a powerful source of energy.
Lantzia:
The sister city to Lantzia, is Zanaterra. This land was named somewhat after Zanfref because of the number of priest and priestess that come to the land to study holy magic, but Zanaterra is also a hotspot for crime, the reason being is that Zanaterra’s underground mines house Manatium, this crystal is similar to Lantzium because it gives off energy that can be used for magic or power. But it also can be used to enhance a mages powers, but to those who don’t have magical powers Manatium can be used a drug, it gives the user’s body the feeling of invincibility. The user feels no pain, and feels like they can take on entire armies, but Manatium doesn’t make the user invincible and if stricken by a fatal blow the user will die. But the crime bosses only want to harness Manatium so they can sell it or give it to their soldiers so they can take over other crime families areas.
Zanaterra:
The other parts of Hantra are either smaller cities, farm land or tribal lands. But there is also another part of Hantra,
the forbidden lands, the forbidden lands are where the most dangerous criminals are sent, it is said that in the forbidden lands Cortia, the home of Aryella the goddess of Chaos and evil, is. It is also said that demons and monsters travel this land searching for their next meal.
Forbidden lands:
Ancient text: scriptures that come from the ancestors of the people of Hantra, these scriptures talk about all things from the past and how everything came to be. Something’s have been modified to fit the ideals of the rich and powerful. So not all the scriptures are reliable.
Races of Hantra- there are a few main races of Hantra and then there are mix breeds, the mix breeds are a rarity, because most of the creatures of Hantra don’t believe in mixing the races. This philosophy causes many wars in Hantra, so most creatures of Hantra like to stick with their own race.
Kotera- this race is naturally physically fit, it is rare to see a none muscular, thin Kotera. They have tan skin, some are born pale, but the majority are tan. Kotera are similar to Humans. Kotera are intelligent, but also strong so they can fit a large verity of roles
Fortum- this race is born physically weak, they have ram, or bull like horns growing from their heads. This is used for defensive purposes and to show their gender, female Fortum are born with ram horns while males are born with bull horns. This race is born with a natural affinity to magic, they can gather Lantzium from the air and harness it. They are the most intelligent race on Hantra, they are excellent scientist and mages.
Tevaori- This race is born strong and fast, they are like a crossbreed of Kotera and animal, they have animal like reflexes and great hearing. The male Tevaori are strong and naturally aggressive, so they make strong warriors. While the female Tevaori are quick on their feet and flexible, they are usually the best archers and hunters. Tevaori usually live in tribal lands, that act as borders to the forbidden lands.
Tevaori can be part wolf, tiger, lion, fox, rabbit, bird, and snake
Donvern- the Donvern are a small race, they travel in packs most of the time, they are physically strong and durable. They aren’t as smart as the Fortum or Kotera, but they aren’t dumb. They mostly live in areas near mines, so a large majority live in Zanaterra, Donvern’s have an average height of four feet.
Technology of Hantra- there is a lot of technology that helps all of Hantra run, there are the robots that are used as servants. Robots are treated more like slaves then helpers, the Robots of Hantra look similar to Kotera, because of fake skin. They blend in well with the Kotera and make it almost impossible for people to tell them apart from a normal Kotera. Robots do have some emotions and they are highly intelligent. Some robots have been known to flee their masters and try to live their life as a Kotera.
Cyborgs- there are some people who have traded in their biological limbs for mechanical ones. This makes them more powerful, but there mechanical limbs have a short delay because the limbs are artificial. This is the weakness to all Cyborgs, they are also weak against electricity.
Flying cars, flying ships, etc- all flying vehicles use Lantzium to run their gravitation engines that keep them from falling. Flying ships are used by the military and the police to carry armies or prisoners. Flying cars are available to all people of Hantra, all flying vehicles have wheels that allow them to be driven on the ground. It’s rare to see this but it does happen.
Computers- computers are mostly used by all in Hantora, they have artificial intelligence within them so computers are able to speak with their users and help them more efficiently.
Teleportation- Teleporting is possible, by stepping in a tube like machine, the user is decomposed and then reconstructed in another location. Teleportation is dangerous if used by more than one person at the same time.
There is more technology, but it would take to long to go on like this. I think I explained most of the important technology and if you want to know about other things just ask.
Magic- magic relies on Lantzium, there are many types of magic, I will only name a few and if you want one that isn’t on here, you will have to ask me about it.
Elemental magic- it controls the elements (fire, water, earth, air, lighting, darkness and light.)
Mental magic- used to corrupt the mind of an enemy, the user can read the mind of their enemy and even control the weak minded. those with advanced skill in Mental magic are capable of using telekinesis, but this is only for those with a gift for this magical art.
Necromancy- magic that controls the dead, this art corrupts the users mind
Summoning- this magic is rare, the user must first make a pact with their summons before they can summon them. So most feel it is to much work and choose different types of magic.
Alchemy- this is both a science and a magic, it is the art of decomposing one element to recreate it as another. This magic is advanced and only a gifted mage or an older mage who has been practicing magic all their life can use it.
Shamanism- this art is used to curse (poison, put to sleep, control) the users enemy, this art can also be used to contact spirits to have them do the users bidding. This art is difficult to use because it corrupts the user making them evil.
Healing magic- this magic is the advancement of light elemental magic, it can heal the users allies or the user. It can also protect the user with shields of white light. It can also hurt the users enemies with light.
Illusion magic- the user is able to trick the senses of their enemy, making them see, hear, smell, taste and touch things that aren’t really there. This magic works best on the weak minded and those who arrogantly call themselves strong minded. Illusion magic is the deadliest magic, because it can trap the users victim within their own mind forever living a nightmare. Illusion magic is a forbidden magic and it is also a magic that only the most powerful mages can gain. Some say the most powerful Illusionist can bring their Illusions to life.
Characters needed- ok, so I have a few characters that I would like to get filled. You can add whatever you wish to them, but I just want the general idea that I set up to be within your character. If you have any questions just ask me.

Rules: ok, so I just have some basic rules.
All post must be at least a paragraph, I can understand writers block, so if you get writers block. Please just try as write as detailed as you can to fill up space. And I don’t mind you using words from someone else’s post in quotes.
This rp is pg-16, there will be violence, language should be used mildly, so the whole post shouldn’t be your character cursing like a madman or woman.
There should be no cybering, all instances where sex would be involved should just be vague. So don’t go into detail with anything. I recommend just having the scene fade to black like on TV
There are gods in this rp, but your character isn’t one so don’t play them like they are one. I don’t like auto- hitting, so try not to do it. As for dodging, dodging attacks from bladed weapons or fist are ok, but dodging bullets should be done realistically, bullets travel quickly so dodging from close range should be hard for your character, even for mages.
I will give you two warnings and then on the third time I will ask you to leave. I shouldn’t have to warn anyone because the rules are basic, so just follow the rules and everything will be ok.
I may reject some characters if I feel they don’t fit in with the story or if I feel its not detailed enough. I will never reject a character without telling the creator the reason why. Also if the changes I recommend are added and the character is resubmitted I will more than likely accept it.
If you are not active for a week, and you haven’t given me or my co-gm(s) a reason for your inactivity I will take control of your character or I may kill it off if I find taking control of it will overwhelm me or my co-gm(s).
I may add to or change some of these rules, so check back every so often to make sure you are kept in the loop.

Rules: ok, so I just have some basic rules.
All post must be at least a paragraph, I can understand writers block, so if you get writers block. Please just try as write as detailed as you can to fill up space. And I don’t mind you using words from someone else’s post in quotes.
This rp is pg-16, there will be violence, language should be used mildly, so the whole post shouldn’t be your character cursing like a madman or woman.
There should be no cybering, all instances where sex would be involved should just be vague. So don’t go into detail with anything. I recommend just having the scene fade to black like on TV
There are gods in this rp, but your character isn’t one so don’t play them like they are one. I don’t like auto- hitting, so try not to do it. As for dodging, dodging attacks from bladed weapons or fist are ok, but dodging bullets should be done realistically, bullets travel quickly so dodging from close range should be hard for your character, even for mages.
I will give you two warnings and then on the third time I will ask you to leave. I shouldn’t have to warn anyone because the rules are basic, so just follow the rules and everything will be ok.
I may reject some characters if I feel they don’t fit in with the story or if I feel its not detailed enough. I will never reject a character without telling the creator the reason why. Also if the changes I recommend are added and the character is resubmitted I will more than likely accept it.
If you are not active for a week, and you haven’t given me or my co-gm(s) a reason for your inactivity I will take control of your character or I may kill it off if I find taking control of it will overwhelm me or my co-gm(s).
I may add to or change some of these rules, so check back every so often to make sure you are kept in the loop.

OOC Notes
The lights hanging from the ceiling, were barely enough to light the cell like room, the smell of dead bodies filled the stale air. The stench was so foul that not even the most clogged up nose wouldn’t smell it. Galaren sat on his small rectangular bed that was connected to the wall. His head deep in a book about alchemy, his concentration was broken when he heard the sound of an elevator opening. His ears picked up as he heard the sound of large boots clanking against the metal floor. He then smirked as he heard his cell door open, he looked up from his book to see two soldiers standing at the door. The soldiers were dressed in all black, they wore a helmet that covered their faces, but also cut off their peripheral vision. Their boots were black, but they had silver metal on the edge of them. This is what made the boots so loud against the metal floors. The soldiers wore belts that held their equipment, the holster for their hand guns, their tasers, and knives. One soldier was holding handcuffs, the second soldier walked into Galaren’s cell and injected him with a needle. Galaren growled in a low tone, and then fell to the floor, he was then tied in the handcuffs and then escorted out of his cell. The soldiers dragged him to the elevator and they walked to the door and they automatically opened. The soldiers threw Galaren into the elevator and he slammed into the wall and slid down to the floor. His eyes slightly opened, his vision was blurred, but he could make out the figures of the soldiers.
One of the soldiers looked back and then saw his eyes slightly opened, the soldier took out a taser and pressed it against Galaren’s neck. It shocked Galaren and he then passed out. When the elevator reached it’s stop the soldiers dragged him out and then took him down a long hallway and then when they arrived in front of a large metal door, it raised up and the soldiers kept walking. They arrived in a lab, where a group of scientist were working at computers, the soldiers placed Galaren in a tube. They put an oxygen mask over his mouth, then attached wires to him and then closed the tube. The tube filled with water and then Galaren began floating in the water, bubbles began floating out from the mask. After a while Galaren’s eyes started to open. He looked and saw scientist taking notes and looking at charts on the computers. Galaren’s breathing quickened, he was angry, he was so close to the scientist yet he could do nothing because he was tied up by the handcuffs.
Galaren looked down and watched as the water began to drain, when all the water was drained he sat on the bottom of the tube, it slowly opened and air rushed in chilling his skin. The cold made him shiver, one of the soldiers threw a towel at him Galaren looked at the soldier, his eyes showing how idiotic his action was. he then stood up and stepped out of the tube, his feet touched down on the metal floor, it was cold. Galaren inhaled deeply and then let it out showing that he was irritated, the two soldiers who had escorted him to the lab, grabbed him and then forced him to walk. They walked him to a box like room, Galaren walked to the back of the room where a metal bench was. He sat on it and looked up at the ceiling, hot air poured into the room. The air warmed Galaren and his clothing until his clothes were dry. He stood up from the bench and walked toward the door, it opened and the soldiers were waiting there for him. They walked him out of the lab and down the hallway. They stopped in front of set of stairs, they walked Galaren down the stairs and stopped in front of a door. The door slowly slid open and Galaren was blinded by the light that bombarded his eyes, the soldiers unlocked his handcuffs then pushed him inside and the door closed quickly afterward. Galaren looked up and saw that the room was lit by a large florescent light. He looked around at the top level of the room and saw what looked like a glass room. He stared inside and saw the scientist watching him. He looked down and saw sand and dirt covering the floor. The sand was wet against his feet, yet there was no water near by. The smell in the room was that of fresh blood, someone or something had just died in this room. Galaren looked to the opposite side of the large circular room, and watched as a door on that side opened. Something was pushed inside and the door closed behind it, Galaren could see the creature clearly, it had a snake like body, its skin was leathery similar to a snake. The skin was black and slightly green, the creature had long claws and spikes running down its spine. The face was like a Kotera, tanned but its eyes were pitch black. The eyes made the creature look like an evil beast. The creature slithered its snake like body toward Galaren. It then sped up after getting a closer look at him. It possible thought of he would be a good meal.
Galaren looked around, there were no weapons for him to use, he would have to fight this monster with his own two hands. The creature opened it’s mouth wide like a snake, its teeth were jagged like a shark, it got close to Galaren and when it was close enough it leapt up and tried to strike him down. Galaren dove to the ground and rolled to the creatures side. It saw this and it wiped its tail out and grabbed his arm. It then brought him in and wrapped itself around him, it constricted and began crushing his body. The creature then spoke to him and said “I have to survive, I am sorry about this.” Galaren smiled and said “I also need to survive, so I’m sorry for this.” Galaren’s eyes became focused on the creature and then its constricting body loosened Galaren was using his mental magic, to force the creature to loosen its grip. Galaren jumped up and his knee slammed into the creatures chin breaking a few of its teeth off. The creature feel over and Galaren stood over it, the creature looked up with a pathetic defeated look on its face, it then smirked as it’s tail came behind Galaren, on the end of its tail was a large spike. The tail jutted forward and just before it reached Galaren, he turned round and grabbed the spike. He pulled the tail and placed the spike under his arm, he took the tail and used all the muscle power he could and threw it, the creature was lifted off the ground and flew through the air, it landed hard on the ground. It forced itself up and slithered toward Galaren again, when it got close it started swinging its claws wildly and then it picked its tail up like a scorpion and then prepared to bring it down and surprise Galaren. When its tail was right over his head it was brought down, Galaren dove and rolled forward, he brought his feet up and kicked the creature in the stomach. It was shocked, this few seconds gave Galaren the chance he needed. He punched the creature in the face and it fell to the ground, he then ran to the creatures tail and grabbed the spike on its tail.
He pressed down hard and then twisted breaking the spike off, he then stood over the creature, he then forced the spike into its skull. He began breathing heavily and then collapsed to the ground, he looked toward the ceiling and then lifted his hands up, he stared at the blood that covered his hands, he felt a tear roll down his face. He had done this many times before, but rarely did he cry about him being the one who survived. He looked toward the door and watched as the two soldiers walked inside, Galaren turned his head to look at the spike jutting out of the snake like creatures head, the spike started to move and it then flew out of the creatures skull. It floated in the air and the soldiers quickly took out their guns and pointed them at Galaren. One soldier yelled “ put it down you beast!” Galaren smirked and the spike flew through the air and went up to the glass where the scientist were watching, it slammed into the glass, but the spike wasn’t strong enough to break the glass completely. The spike jutted through the glass, the scientist were slightly freaked out and this put a smile on Galaren’s face. He was then shocked by two tasers, he slowly passed out but his smile didn’t fade.

OOC Notes
Arkady sighed as he glanced at his clipboard, black coat trailing behind him while he ignored the chattering of the junior scientists behind him. He had heard it all before, the subjects were being brought out for another test to gather more data, the one was being examined before actually being sent into the fight, tedious maintence bits like that. He cracked the joint in his neck, stifling a yawn. He had gotten less sleep than he would of liked, again. Too much data to get right, matching theories to facts and that made things difficult, as usual. He reached the main station for the series of tests on the star subject, as his subordinates so loved to call it. He didn't respond to that, taking up his station overseeing the entire operations of the group that were gathering the information on the subject. Typing into the computer, and bringing up multiple relevant documents that had been updated recently on the subject, he noted improvements in both mental, and physical, development. And more so than the standard curve that had been established by the majority of the subjects. Some were higher, and some were lower. The average was what he graded the subjects by, not what the funders or what his subordinates wanted. He finally brought up the master sheet on the subject, glancing over the information he almost knew by heart at this point. Very little changed on this particular document, however it had to be monitered in case major, and especially unforseen, changes occured. Faintly smirking, he stood upright, hands behind his back and just in time.
Two of the soldiers that were stationed as guards strolled in with the subject between them, cuffed and dazed by the looks of it. Probably tazed the boy, shaking his head as the thought went through his head. He was told time and again the force was necessary, but that didn't mean he had to like it one bit. Watching as the information for this test scrolled across his master control station, he was not surprised to see everything either in the norm, or in the standard deviation sector for genetic deviation and mutation. Working with genetics and DNA as they had, margins of error and zones of acceptability had been established to avoid panic over minor items, and a lack of concern over the major changes in small areas. He kept all composure on his face as the subject no doubt hated each and every person outside that tube with a passion. He would as well, if he were in such a position. It was a matter of survival as well as being unable to react against obvious threats to his or her wellbeing. That was not something he would fault the subject for, although there was little he could do at this point beyond keep on working and hope that a chance for a better life comes up for the creatures. But that was for another time, it seemed they were finished and moving the subject, and so was he by this point. It seemed they were finally ready for the actual combat testings that the government so enjoyed watching, and getting their toy soldier data on.
So, they had decided to test him against that particular subject this time. While preferred, he didn't always have a chance to choose who the subject would face. Whether it was a snake like creature that had been put through a different regiment, like the one the subject was facing, or other types of oddities that mutated beyond potential usefulness, he never had a 100% chance to choose what he faced, or when for that matter. However, as the fight continued, it was obvious that the subject would win against the snake mutation. Sure enough, the tail was used against it and driven into the body of the creature, and he watched as the subject mentally levitated the tail and launched at the view window, causing his subordinates to jump. He didn't, however, and strode over to examine the part, and the depth that it penetrated at. "Fascinating...Quite fascinating! The subject has improved his mental techniques rather well, to propel an object with that much force. And you were worried he was making no progress. Please."
Striding out of the viewing room, he made his way over to his small office and began typing a report on his take on the subjects and their progress, or at least update it further. It was almost a journal at this point, he was constantly updating it so he could, at one point or another, see what he was thinking and, in case of an accident, leave behind his plans and ideas thus far so that it wasn't a dead end scenario because a head scientist died due to unforseen complications. Or outright assassination, he didn't put that past people.

OOC Notes
The loud and measured steps of an annoyed person echoed down the gleaming hallway, it's brushed metal finish holding a mirror like quality. Doors appeared here and there, guarded by black clad soldiers who saluted the figure as it strode by accompanied by a slender woman who appeared to have trouble keeping up with the figure clad in a dark blue military uniform, it's rank indicators marking out it's wearer as a Field Marshall.
" I thought I made it clear I was to be notified before tests were run on any subject. Or did that egg head really think he had the authorization to allow the subject out of his cell." The Field Marshall said his leather shin high boots moving in long distance eating strides.
" Sir, Dr.Yakim insinuated you had given authorization to let the subject out of his cell." The rather breathless woman said, clad in a lab coat she obviously was no solider but she seemed to answer to the Field Marshall quite readily in military fashion. She was in fact one of the many liaisons to the Military, her primary job was making sure communications between the Military board which was funding the project and who had operational control and the science team went smoothly. So far it look like she had been failing at that job.
" And you took his word at face value, are you an idiot or something Dr.Hamler. Let me make it clear one last time, when I give authorization to let tests be run I will do it. I will not act through a second party. If this happens again Dr.Hamler you will find yourself out of a job, your degrees rendered void. And your assets seized by the government. Do I make myself clear?" The Field Marshall asked his voice holding a dangerous edge to it.
" Crystal Sir." She replied in a quiet and subdued tone. It had taken her 15 years to work her way up this high in the science community. And with her degrees rendered void she would be qualified for little more then being a waitress at a restaurant.
" Very Good Dr.Hamler, I want all relevant data forwarded to my office regarding the tests just run and any new developments on all subjects within 2 hours. Dismissed Dr.Hamler."
"Yes Sir. right away Sir." Dr.Hamler replied nearly tripping over herself in her haste to be gone from the Field Marshall's presence. She had the utmost respect for military personal but the Field Marshall was a soldier to the core. And the science team being mostly civilians disliked his heavy handed militaristic ways. But in the end she reminded herself without the Military providing funding and security the project would have gotten nowhere. Not to mention the legality of the tests they were running were questionable and it was only the Military board that let them fly under the radar.
The Field Marshall for his part strode away once more on eager feet. He despite his harsh words was a man of compassion but duty came first and that was all there was to it. Or so he told himself as he watched each test subject go through horrific things in the name of scientific advancement and making a better soldier. He laughed at the thought, one of the few things he had to laugh at. The subjects for all their interesting developments were little better then cadet officers when it came to combat. And in his mind the things needed to get that minuscule improvement were simply inhuman. But in the end he was a soldier, one of the highest ranked but still a simple soldier. Still every time he wrote a status report for the Military board the man questioned the morality behind what these egg heads in lab coats were doing to the subjects.
The Field Marshall distance eating strides took him to the one place he knew Dr.Yakim would be, his office. After each test the Head Scientist updated his personal files like it was some solemn duty of his. Soon enough the door to the office was in front of him. And being the Military Board's representative he opened the door with little ceremony, after all the doctor answered to him not the other way around.
Sure enough the doctor sat in front of his terminal typing away.
" Dr.Yakim it is customary to stand to attention when a superior officer is present. But military regulation aside I am more concerned about your breach of procedural protocol in regards to the last series of test run on Subject Galaren." The Field Marshall said in a voice that would brook no argument." I am sure you are aware I maintain operational control of this Project Dr.Yakim. And thus I am the one who authorizes each test not you or any else in this lab for that matter. Your breach in procedural protocol has been recorded in the Project Records. This is your only warning Dr.Yakim. Fail to follow procedural protocol onece more and I will have you removed as the Head Scientist."
Looking around the Field Marshall took in the small office, it's cramped nature speaking volumes about the doctor. His gaze seemed to take everything in. The doctor, the furnishings, the limited personal touches.
" On to other news I want your report on the latest tests forwarded to my office by the end of the day. And be sure to include any relevant data concerning your take on all new developments concerning the subjects. I also want your review on the science team personal review plus your acquisition forms need to be in by the end of the week if you require more personal and material. Do I make myself clear Dr.Yaki?"
The soldier hated having to make himself clear all the time. He found it odd how such a brilliant science team could be so stupid at times.
" I thought I made it clear I was to be notified before tests were run on any subject. Or did that egg head really think he had the authorization to allow the subject out of his cell." The Field Marshall said his leather shin high boots moving in long distance eating strides.

Looking around the Field Marshall took in the small office, it's cramped nature speaking volumes about the doctor. His gaze seemed to take everything in. The doctor, the furnishings, the limited personal touches.
" On to other news I want your report on the latest tests forwarded to my office by the end of the day. And be sure to include any relevant data concerning your take on all new developments concerning the subjects. I also want your review on the science team personal review plus your acquisition forms need to be in by the end of the week if you require more personal and material. Do I make myself clear Dr.Yaki?"
The soldier hated having to make himself clear all the time. He found it odd how such a brilliant science team could be so stupid at times.

((The ooc won't let me in, well in any case I reserve the next post, got a good idea for it. Poor doctor Yakim >.< his underlings are attempting to run a test on Saori without him.))
OOC Notes
((Yea, I ran into the same issue with the OOC. Seems the updates the staff did had unforeseen consequences. Hopefully the staff know where things went wrong, and how, so it won't take long to fix! And Doc seems to be running into authority issues all of a sudden, first being chewed out, then his subordinates acting without his consent!))

"Should we be doing this?"
"Shut it Tracy, the test is scheduled and authorized."
"The means of the test isn't, Norman." Tracy hissed in Norman's ear, not loud enough for the three guards to make out. They glanced behind them every once in a while, each branch of the program thought the same of the other. That their partners in this endeavor were always up to nothing good. In this case the military guards were correct in their assumption of the scientists.
All five exited the elevator and made their way to Saori's cage, she was not given the luxurious cells in which so many of the other expiraments 'enjoyed'. This occurance was of course, only blamable to herself. Her unpredictability 'forced' their hand.
One of the guards injected her with the drug through the bars of the cage that was not big enough for her to stand in, but as they paused they started to wonder if it had any effect, her limp figure remained as still as ever.
The scientists urged the guards on and the now team of six made their way into the elevator. "God is it even alive?" one of them suddenly asked in the awkward silence that ensued, as if on que her head lifted slightly, her eyes eternally placid, causing the guards to jump, and the one not holding her pulled out his taser. The resounding effect gave his hand a third degree burn.
"SHIT YOU IDIOTS, you don't use a taser on a subject being taught to manipulate electricity!!!" Tracy braught out a vial more of the dazing drug, Saori's head lolled back down as Norman aided the burned guard.
"This has to be the worst expirament in the entire batch, can't test worth shit, unpredictable, troublesome. We should stick her in the correction facility, make sure you write that on her form for the transfer Norman." Norman silently nodded grimly, it seemed necessary, but the thought of the correction facility was grim. Basically they removed parts of the subject's brain that were associated with independant thinking. Often they skipped the whole process and just used the expirament for various brain surgery practices.
After the burned guard was sent away the team made their way to the section of the labs with the measuring courts; A room as big as an indoor tennis court, but with numbers linned in a grid pattern along the floors, walls, and ceiling. The guards placed her in the middle of the court and locked the iron door behind them. Their were a total of two doors in the room, one the guards left through, the other connected to a holding cell where they placed another particularly powerful expirament that had been doing well. They were doing a test on kinetic reflex, and it would be watched from the four cameras placed in the corners of the room. Origenally the test was supposed to be non-combatant, but they were left with little else of a choice.
"Alright then, time to shoot her up." Norman said, fearlessly pressing a button that resulted in a mini turret coming from the ceiling to shoot a dart at Saori's limp form. This dart was filled with mixture of adrenaline and a chemical found to durastically increase aggression. This compound had yet to be tested, kill two birds with one stone as he put it. This was the unauthorization Tracy spoke of, this method of testing and the drug were not supposed to be used for the test today, but as long as the military got their results, the pair didn't believe their to be any problem.
The effects were instantanious. Saori's heart began to beat painfully fast. Her head spun into clearity, and her muscles tensed and untensed at an uncomfortable speed. The hanger door opened and out sprung a Trevaori lion.
"Are you ready female?" He roared.
Instead of an answer Saori writhed for half a minute until she too was in her Trevaori form, she lost the fight against it, and nothing but rage lined her form now, not even words. She let out a snarl and lunged. The lion dodged but was left with a gash in his side. Saori did summersault into a standing position from her lunge, immediately afterwards she backflipped to land on the lion's shoulders as he charged her. She let him fall forward with his own bodyweight as she left two sets of gashes in his back. The lion spun around as she jumped to his side and took a swipe at his head. He tried again and again to swipe at her form, to grab her, something. But she was to quick, she flowed around him like a river, all the while poking holes into the boat. The noise the made was viciously ear splitting.
Finally the lion left an opening for her, his stamina almost gone and curtainly bloodied, she got on his back, bit into jugular, and ripped it out with a fearsome snarl.
"SHIT we weren't supposed to let it go that far!" both scientist fummbled as she continued to midlessly rip into the corpse, still in a frenzy. Until a minute later when she doubled over in pain. Now instead of angry roars the room filled with anguished ones. She rolled over and began to slowly turn back into her human form, calwing at her chest with her now human nails she screamed. Her heart was painfull, it seemed the drug had some side effects.

OOC Notes
"GALLATAYAAAAA!"
"Uh oh.." Gallataya flinched as her name was yelled, the voice sounded angry. The petite girl put the broom she was using to sweep the floor on the wall. She had been given extra chores to do because she had, yet again, done very poorly in not only mathamatics, but calligraphy, reading comprehension, basic sciences, and of course had done none of her practice work in any of the subjects. Strolling over to Priest Jerom, a particularly old and strict man, Gallataya bowed in the respectful manner expected of her. With both palms together and one facing up, the other down.
"Yes Father Jerom, you called?"
"You should wipe that ridiculous smile you have on your face off, you haven't any reason to be happy when you've been caught red handed!" The Priest glowered at her.
Red handed? Taya's face became quite devoid of understanding. She hadn't done anything against the rules lately, or at least that she knew of...
"Or I suppose my pie simply up and left of it's own accord." He clearified.
Gallataya's face still registered confusion. "Well, how do know it was me?" she hadn't had any pie today. Oh no! What if her memory was leaving her! What if she was getting that one disease where you los your memory slowly, what was it called? Oh bugger she couldn't remember, maybe she was getting that disease!
Priest Jerom cocked an eyebrow at her, she seemed to be inwardly panicking over something ridiculous, perhaps it was over her capture? " I found this near the kitchens." he withdrew a blue ribbon from the long sleeves of his robe.
The ribbon was hers alright, but she had given it to a young girl around a week ago. So she wasn't losing her memory! Thank Vanya. "Ooooh, THAT pie! Sorry! I was going to make one and thought I did, so I kinda ate it..." she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"Yes well I 'kinda' wanted to share it with the other high priests tonight. You will be responsible for making another one before dinner." Taya nodded her head and took the ribbon as he handed it over. She'd have to warn Marie (the girl she had given the ribbon to, and whom had obviously been the real perpetrator) to be more careful if she was going to pull a fast one on Jerom. Which was likely the case, goodness that girl loved to pick on her elders.
Taya got back to work, and once she was finished she changed into her favorite white dress and recombed her hair quickly. A stroll through the market and no doubt she would find Marie, besides, she always did like to take lunch at her usual spot. With a quick stop to the kitchen to grab a basketfull of food, Taya left the Abbey and made her way to the shopping center, flashing signs of endless adds lined the buildings. One of which caught her eye. It was the one that the Temple had set out. Her expression faded a little as she remembered that tomarrow a contest of strength and skill would be held. She was the chosen Priestess, and the Priestess needed a guardian if she was to make it through her journey. A team if she expected to survive.
Her image flashed on the screen and glory was promised to the one who stepped up to the challenge.
"Hey, you crossing the street or what?"
"Oh, pardon me." She had spaced out a little.
At last Gallataya arrived at her usual eating place, it was in a park on top of the hill at it's center. The very same place she had sat and eaten lunch everyday with a young boy when shexwas little. She sat down and stared at the sky, pondering nothing in particular. Her eye caught site of a crow sitting in the tree next to her hill, she smiled warmly and held out her hand. It fluttered down and cawed at her. She giggled a little and got out a piece of bred and gave it to him. It flew away after it claimed it's snack. She stared after it, feeling a tinge of lonliness.
"I'll be your sky,
If you'll be my star,
You can hide underneath me and come out at night,
When I turn jet black,
And you show off your light,
I live to let you shine,
I live to let you shine...,
But you can sky rocket away,
From me,
And never come back if you,
Find another galaxy, far, from here,
With more room to fly,
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by..." she started to sing absently as she went back to gazing at the sky.

OOC Notes
Arkady hadn't even given the Marshall a thought until he barged into, no wait, made his way in, he was technically the representative of the Board and therefor he technically answered to him. Bloody hell, he had a feeling this would be a pain and a half to deal with. When confronted with the fact that it was customary to stand at attention for superior officers, he merely smiled in a way that said he wasn't getting up that easily. He wasn't mocking the officer, not by any means, that was just asking for trouble, and he wasn't stupid. When Marshall Helmich finally finished his ultimatum, he nodded. He could make the Marshall's life that much more complicated by following orders.
"I never stood on custom Field Marshall, but that is beside the point. I fully understand your ultimatum, and will have every test run by you, and in full so you won't miss a detail. In fact, I'll have the entire research team notified of this right away!"
And Arkady did just that, opening up a communique for all the researchers on this project, and began giving very detailed instructions. Have every single test run by Field Marshall Helmich, even minor blood drawings and items like that. And do it in precise detail, so the Marshall may have complete understanding of each test before he authorizes it. And what that meant was the Marshall would get slammed with an absurd amount of updates and requests making sure every single operation of the researchers was valid and approved. It was childish, yes, but it was satisfying, and would be more so once it actually began. The details were just icing on the cake, those would cause headaches in anyone who didn't have advanced training in the individual fields. The other news was nothing new, test reports, his outlook on them, reviews and requests for supplies, put simply.
"But of course Marshall, the test reports are ready and my relevant observations are almost finished for the days testing. Everything else will be finalized and sent before the week is done. Now, if you would be so kind..."
Arkady hadn't been looking at the Field Marshall while he was talking, paging through the various feeds that he had either access to or had linked to his computer. He flipped to one of the testing cells and found Subject Saori on the ground, convulsing and a tore to hell lion there as well. Norman and Tracy, the idiots, must of used something experimental in the test. And not in an authorized way, either. He stood, pressing a call button for his aid, who had the easiest job in the place. Run Doctor Yakim's errands when he was too busy to do them himself. Dr. Greg ran in, he was technically one of the chemists assigned to the operation, and stopped at the sight of the Field Marshall.
"Yes, Dr. Yakim?" Greg was worried, what with the Field Marshall here as well as the head scientist, Yakim. Arkady didn't delay, seeming to dismiss the Marshall for the moment.
"Did Norman or Tracy take any compounds out of the labs for testing?" The look on Greg's face said it all, and Yakim muttered something about idiots under his breath. "Fine, check for what compound is missing and get back to me. Marshall, do you wish to accompany me while I go deal with a pair of idiot scientists?"
Whether he answered yes or not, Arkady was out the door, the hurried clangs of his shoes on the ground was not very subtle, but he wasn't trying to be. There was a problem that needed fixed. It didn't take long to reach the control room for the test, where he promptly saw the fumbling for something to do while the Subject was writhing on the ground. The stance Arkady had alerted the guards there that there was something off, and they weren o doubt ready to apprehend the two scientists. They were in the frying pan now, so to speak. "Norman! Tracy! What did you two do?"

OOC Notes
After being tasered, Galaren was lifted up. The two soldiers put his arms over their shoulders and then walked letting his feet drag against the ground. They walked to the door. It quickly opened and they walked through the doorway. They walked up the stairs to the main floor and placed Galaren next to the elevator. One soldier handcuffed Galaren and then the two soldiers stood in front of the elevator. It opened and a man stepped out, he was wearing a different uniform then the two soldiers, he was wearing a blue uniform on the shoulder of the uniform was the symbol of a wolf. The man also wore a black hat, allowing his face to be seen unlike the common soldiers that were handling Galaren.
The soldiers saluted the man, he nodded to them and then looked at Galaren who was propped up against the wall. The man turned to the elevator and said “ come on, meet the experiment you will be guarding.” a young soldier stepped out of the elevator, he was dressed in the black uniform, but he held his helmet under his arm. He stared at Galaren, he started to get closer and one of the soldiers said to him “I wouldn’t recommend that.” the soldier stepped back. The two soldiers then saluted the blue uniformed man and then walked away. The man in the blue uniform grabbed Galaren and then put him in the elevator. The new soldier and the man got inside, the doors closed and the elevator then started to go up.
Galaren slowly started to move, the new soldier saw this and tried to reach for his taser, but he was slow. Galaren quickly got up and placed his arm against the soldier’s neck. Galaren smiled and said “so lieutenant who’s the new guy?” the man in the blue uniform responded “he is the son of a close friend so don’t kill him.” Galaren released the soldier and said to him “that’s why the soldiers wear their helmets when handling me, remember that.” the lieutenant had a big smile on his face, he turned to Galaren and said “ so, how was the testing.” Galaren looked at him and said “I’m still alive, so I guess it went well.” the elevator stopped, the lieutenant stepped out and Galaren followed, the new soldier followed behind Galaren gripping hard on his taser. Galaren turned around and the soldier was shocked and jumped back.
Galaren shook his head, and then stopped in front of his cell, the lieutenant opened the door and Galaren walked inside. The soldier started to walk back to the elevator, but Galaren said to him “ hey, lighten up a little. If you don’t you wont last long in this place.” The soldier turned away and walked to the elevator. The lieutenant stared at Galaren and said “keep up the good work, I want to see if you make it to the end.” Galaren looked in the lieutenant’s eyes and said “ you mean the end, where they cut me open and study what makes me so much better then them. So they can make you guys the ultimate killing machines.” The lieutenant looked away for a second, when he looked back at Galaren. Galaren was staring at him as if he could see right through him, Galaren smiled and then jumped in his bed. He grabbed his pillow and placed it against the wall. He laid his head against the pillow and said “I don’t understand you people, you want to make the ultimate weapon, but how do you know your weapon wont be turned against you. In the end, your greedy ways may just be what causes your own downfall.” the lieutenant nodded and said “ you may be right, but I’m not the one making the decisions on the subject.” Galaren nodded and said “ you are right, your nothing but a soldier who has to follow orders, but as a soldier shouldn’t you be able to make a choice as to what is moral and immoral?” The lieutenant started to walk away, Galaren then yelled out to him “everyone has a choice lieutenant, it’s just that some people choose to do the wrong thing because it’s what everyone else is doing!”
The soldiers saluted the man, he nodded to them and then looked at Galaren who was propped up against the wall. The man turned to the elevator and said “ come on, meet the experiment you will be guarding.” a young soldier stepped out of the elevator, he was dressed in the black uniform, but he held his helmet under his arm.

In the end, your greedy ways may just be what causes your own downfall.” the lieutenant nodded and said “ you may be right, but I’m not the one making the decisions on the subject.” Galaren nodded and said “ you are right, your nothing but a soldier who has to follow orders, but as a soldier shouldn’t you be able to make a choice as to what is moral and immoral?” The lieutenant started to walk away, Galaren then yelled out to him “everyone has a choice lieutenant, it’s just that some people choose to do the wrong thing because it’s what everyone else is doing!”

"Hey, get back here!"
But he was already gone.
Pollux chuckled to himself as he ran, his breath coming out in short, steady gasps. He pushed past the crowds, causing curses and insults shooting his way. The words people spat at him bounced right off his ears. The only thing he could hear was the jangling of coins in the bag he had in his gloved hand. He had so cleverly tricked a business man in giving him at least dozens of money. Once he was at a safe distance, he slowed his pace into a steady walk. Pollux smiled and let the memory come back to him.
"Hey there."
"Who me?"
"Yes you. That's a nice hat. And a nice suit. And a nice bag. No doubt filled with nice wallets."
"Um..."
"But I'm not sure if it's filled with nice...gold." At this moment, Pollux whipped out a huge pouch filled with the precious stuff. He tossed it over to the business man, who fumbled before catching it. The man looked at him suspiciously, who was obscured by the shadows of the alleyway they were in. Then he curiously untied the string around the pouch and peeked inside.
Pollux let a satisfied smirk come to his face a the man's eyes bulged. "R-R-Real gold!!"
"No duh."
"What do you want?!" the man cried.
"Oh I dunno. Maybe that bag you're carrying. And that coat. And that hat."
"Not the coat. It's special."
"Alright then, keep your damn coat. But I want the hat."
"Here, take it! And the bag too, right? Here!"
"Nice doing business with you, sir."
"My pleasure!"
Pollux had only walked a few paces before the man chuckled to himself. He jabbered to himself. "Sucker...Who the hell trades gold for just a few dozens?"
"An alchemist," Pollux answered calmly. Then the man let out a scream, and said alchemist made a break for it.
"The gold! Where's my gold! This is...plain old coal! HEY! Hey, get back here!!"
Pollux let out a content sigh as he adjusted the nice tophat on his head. Sweet, sweet memories...He unconsciously found himself crossing the street. Memories...
He stared at the ground as he walked, fiddling with the bag he held tight in his hand. Then he heard the singing. Somewhere in the distance.
"You can hide underneath me and come out at night..."
His blood suddenly froze and he stopped in his tracks. This song...
"When I turn jet black and you show off your light..."
This voice...
"I live to let you shine..."
Pollux looked up, his heart picking up pace. His feet had unconsciously took him to the old hideout that used to be his home. Where he had met that certain girl...
Wait a sec. His eyes darted upward towards the bulletin boards, and saw the image of her flashing, telling the world that she was to be the next Priestess. What an...idiot. He suddenly felt light-headed. "T...Taya?"
"I live to let you shine..."
His eyes moved back to the ground, and the horizon. And, to his surprise, there she was. Sitting there. Singing. Though his face showed barely any emotion, he felt his blue eyes widen in recognition. Absentmindedly, he felt his feet move again, towards her. Step by step. Then his lips parted and joined in the song:
"But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by."
He didn't stop there. He continued the song. The song that they had sung together seven years ago.
"If you be my boat
I'll be your sea
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free..."
But he was already gone.

(sorry, it's not much. hard for me to play someone else's character, but its at least something.)
The field marshal followed Yakim, he knew something was wrong the way. The doctor was acting. But the Field marshal couldn’t tell what exactly was up. He knew very little about science or medicine. In fact, first aid was about as far as he got during his studies. The marshal then stopped when the Doctor did, he watched as the man began yelling at his subordinates. The marshal then looked at the guards and he said to them “handcuff these two scientist, I don’t want them doing anymore stupid things.”
The guards nodded and then handcuffed the two scientist, the marshal then looked at Yakim and said “we will deal with these two later, right now we have to see what we can do about the experiment.” The marshal looked at the two guards who were still standing around and he yelled “what are you fools still doing here, go get the experiment now!” the guards where slightly shocked, they fumbled a bit and then finally ran off to the stairs to go down to the testing area. They checked the experiment, it was still breathing. They then restrained it incase it tried to attack. They then brought it up to the marshal who looked at them and said “don’t look at me like that, lay it down on the table so the doctor can get to work.”
The guards nodded and then laid the experiment on the table and then they stepped back, the marshal turned to the doctor and said “well doctor, I believe it is time for you to do your job.” the marshal then gave the doctor room so he could get to work. He walked over to a seat and sat down, he watched the doctor to see what he was going to do. The marshal wondered if the experiment was savable or if the effects of the drug the two scientist gave it were irreversible.

Hepsis stepped inside the the building and looked left and then right.
"Well at least you kept the death count down. Good work, Strife." Hepsis said as he looked at the female holding two smoking hand guns.
"This was a waste of time, they dont seem to know where your charge is," Strife responded. Hepsis looked around at Strifes work. There were bodies littered all over the ground bleeding from arms and legs. Hepsis smiled and with a twist of his wrist the young and armed female started to glow. "Good work and thanks Strife. Until next time," he commented. Strife smiled as she vanished. She knew she was bound to this man, she was surprised when she completed the contract with him, but his soul was one of the strongest she had ever come across. It was no wonder he had the other summons that he had with him.
"Well that is a little disappointing, if what Strife said is true." He muttered as he made his way across the room to a particularly moany man. Hepsis waved both hands and two wolf-like creatures appeared on both sides of him. They were of a irredescent smoke one green and one purple. "Sniff around for his scent" he ordered and the smoke wolves trodded off sniffing the ground. Wither another wave a humanoid appeared. "Death, I need your expertise. I need to do a little interrigation."
'I don't know where boss' son is, but rumor has it he is involved with another crime family.' he thought. "Oh well, I'll find him, I'm just cleaning up some trash on the way." he said as he looked down at the horror in the eyes of the man before him.

Of gods and Men
Most recent OOC posts in Of gods and Men
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
Alright, I'll post once Marionette does, and the post was fine, at least in my opinion (Considering he hadn't been on for awhile).
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
Hey guys, i decided what i'm going to do. I will take on the role of field marshal, since it's been about a week since the guy who played him has gotten on. also i decided to make the two detective characters. since it seems no one is going to fill those roles. I will start working on the posts for those characters. so expect those some time later today i hope. (maybe tomorrow.) after i make these posts, things should move a little bit faster and we can get to the more entertaining parts of the rp.
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
finally I posted. Even rushed on it. x__x I hate exams.
anyways, I can't wait for the story to get in depth!

Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
well he(just assuming it's a he, given the name.) hasn't logged on in a while, so i'm just going to go ahead and say, he isn't going to post this weekend. so we can move on and when/if he logs on i will give him a recap of what happened. so everyone you can go ahead and make your posts so we can move the story on.
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
Well, I don't want to seem too impatient, but if he doesn't post soon (Say by the weekend sometime) I would suggest moving on (Despite not wanting to leave someone behind), though I leave that judgment up to chris.
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
Dang, that's a good idea, I'm all for it. When is the Marshall going to post?
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
I like the idea, it sounds better then what i came up with. I think with this as the basic plan, we can come up with something pretty interesting to get the story moving.
i will try and come up with some ideas, so that all of this will run smoothly.

Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
I'm liking that idea better than my rough ideas so far, though I had half a thought about Doc being fed up with things, like Chris mentioned, but being the head scientist, he isn't very well trusted, so he could end up a hostage either way. But that would give a access route for getting the transfers done and such, as he would have the authority to move the experiments, and is used to operating under the radar of our fine Marshall, despite disapproval of it. But that's more method than the actual idea, so I'm all for that course of action. Granted, I'll want to see what everyone else involved in that particular scenario has to say about it first.
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
How about this, Saori is kinda headed to the brain chopping block right? At least from what I gathered from marionette's last post. What if Galaren overheard talk of it from the guards as they bring her to her new cell, I dunno, some kinda reason marionette would need to find for her character to be moved to a cell rather than a cage. And started thinking, hey, she tore a lion to shit (he would know, again, from talk of guards) so she's pretty strong. Bet yah she doesn't want her brain chopped up either. And then he starts to try and talk with her. Saying that they could try and escape. You both can work out a method and all, but end result ends with the doctor and Marshall being taken hostage.
From there you guys can make a run fer it, and get cornered by cops, by this time me and harta should have started traveling to cortia, being the dork she is, Taya could try and settle the situation, as her first act as priestess. The Marshall and doctor are fired, expiraments under priestesses protection, aaasand then a team starts......
That's just a very rough draft....

Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
well, im pretty flexible with any idea, to tell you the truth i can't even think of a really great idea of how things would go wrong and some of the experiments get free. if i had to pick an idea, i would say someone being fed up with all the experimentation just leaves a cell open or something like that, then an experiment attacks a guard. then everything starts going crazy. and during this distraction, some of the experiments would escape, or someone else would help them to escape. that's the best i can come up with. if you want to use that idea, we can but if it sounds kind of stupid, we can find another way.
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
Well, I've been trying to brainstorm ideas for potential uh oh scenarios for the whole lab experiment area. Whether a security flaw frees everyone, or someone gets fed up following immoral orders and goes against it, or what. I didn't know how you wanted to see that flow, so I wasn't making any permanent ideas.
Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
hey, guys just need a little feedback on this.
do you think the rp is going a little slow?, i'm not talking about the posts because i know it takes time to come up with posts.
I'm just wondering if, you guys think the rp should move a little faster, or are you all ok with the way it's going.

( Will only kill NPCs but can catch both NPCs and other characters, if you hire him as a bounty hunter. )

Re: [OOC] Of gods and Men
Change of plans, it will be Wednesday before I can post my character, sorry for it being so late, it's just things aren't going the way I planned and now I am having to improvise a little.
You can go ahead and start it without me, I am a fast reader and will catch up.
