Hello. This rp shows great promise as it's had some real work put into it as far as I've read. I'll continue reading it over until I've read it through at which point I shall submit a character for your approval.

Hello!
Glad to see this progressing! I'd love to create an OC an join in. Meanwhile, I'm gonna re-read the descriptiom to get to know the world better.

Glad to see there is some nice interest here. If you have any questions about things, please go ahead and ask. I have more free time on my hands then I care to admit and should be able to help easily in a day or two at the latest if you need me to.

[Zalgo]

Alright. I'll be reading up on the character application form to fill out. Hopefully the character should be in by tonight. I estimate it'll be in by tomorrow night at the latest.

Edit - I've been looking through the introduction and have failed to locate the character forms. Is there a format to fill out for our characters?

[Zalgo]

I myself must apologize as I fear my character sheet is taking longer than expected. A couple more days should be the most that will be needed to complete the form. I should have the character in before long and his first post not too long after that.

[ShadowBlackheart]

No worries, I'll do my best to quick to review the character once posted. Besides... with something this large, I'm not expecting go do everything in a week easy. I hope this roleplay can go on for a long long while as long as people enjoy it.

[ShadowBlackheart]

I've got no choice... I've just got to approve Mr. Red over here. I see a wild card and if there is something that will turn the tables at anytime... its Mr. Red Eudard. Please feel free to post. How ever, as he is a true ancient, I will impose a single point of minor restriction upon him. Ancients are in a way shattered themselves. Such a delicate form of magic will not work so much as intended and will take much more power then usual to weaponize the blood of an ancient living or dead. This however works both ways for Mr. Red. While he cannot properly use Ancient blood at this time for his magics, to consume it, he will learn more of it, gain temporary boosts in power and magic, and learn a little bit of history from that blood on a whole, such things as how dark and powerful the shattering Event really was. Please go ahead and begin your posts to meet the party... or stalk them...

[Zalgo]

No problem. Exploring the art of hemomancy will be part of the fun.

[RavynArcadia]

Would consuming the blood of a non ancient provide a similar effect of providing some history?

[Zalgo]

@RavynArcadia - With the right spell, yes. In general not specifically.

I must confess something came up, putting a slight delay in my post today. I have it partly written and should have the rest finished tomorrow evening as I do most of my writing later in the day.

[ShadowBlackheart]

No worries, we can put off posts for a bit if you are preparing a post.I think we all understand that things happen.

[Zalgo]

Alrighty, got my first post up. In addition I'll provide a brief legend on my different font alterations.

Bold Text is used for characters who aren't the focus of my posts.
Italics Are used to separate thoughts from spoken words.
Underlines Are used to demonstrate words that are written down as opposed to being spoken. When paired with Bold however they are used to denote a change of scene.

That's about it. Figured I'd mention in case there might of been some confusion caused by this.

[ShadowBlackheart]

Alright, I think we can manage that. I may even start to adopt a set up similar to that myself, something I had not considered.

[Zalgo]

Playing off the idea that there will be crusaders on board looking for Alexia I've opted for Red to come on board right behind one.

After reading your post, the train scene from Trading Places popped into my head and suddenly I'm picturing our characters as them.

[ShadowBlackheart]

Prepare for battle, more crusaders inbound.

[Zalgo]

My post's seen some delay but it should be out sometime tonight. It's got a fairly decent length but it's simply too late for me to wrap it up now.

Edit: My post is in. Ed's ready for combat now. Everyone else may find the air in the back of the train is a slight tinge redder now too.

[ShadowBlackheart]

So... before I go into my next post, I have one of three ideas right now. The first two are mostly battle oriented. Clearly there will be a receiving station for the train to dock at once we pass through the chasm. This station can be crusader owned and operated, or it could be a third party.

Idea 1 is that passing through to the smallish desert world, the station is an enclosed station. This means that when Alexia and the others pass through, Alexia heading the way with her 220 MPH plus free fall (average terminal velocity for an adult human is 122 MPH for reference by the way), she'll make quite the impact on the far end of the station. This can lead to the owners, in this case crusaders of the 16th order (no one major, just very desert themed order and well armed), going into all out attack mode and resulting in a larger much more open battle while the group tries to get out and find another chasm to head through. This will result in a detailed and heavily outnumbered combat situation during the team can show Alexia their combat prowess and make a valid argument for staying at her side for her personal war against the Crusaders early on. After the fight, which will be more hit and run to get out of dodge and beat the train which will have reinforcements upon it, the party will be in for a possible quick trip to one of Alexia's or possibly Sam's safe house like locations.

Idea 2, also a combat situation, is that after the fall and landing, also in an enclosed station, the party is able to make a very quick getaway, but instead of a large scale heavy numbers fight, the party will encounter a single or perhaps pair of high threat level foes. My ideas for this so far include a True Dragon, Sand Worm(s) about the side of the empire stat building, thinner but much longer of course, or a Crusader Armed Forces Leader that gives chase. In this scenario, the party will be focused much more on co-op combat and trying to deal with the larger threat while still trying to get away. Like before however, the end result will be similar, a chance to prove combat prowess and earn a place at Alexia's side for her personal war. Additionally the party will be heading to a safe house location before doing a larger talk about things.

Idea 3 is something different. The party will make a very quick and successful getaway, out racing the train and making a fast exit once on the other side of the chasm into the desert world. A sand storm or similar event will let them vanish quickly, and result in them making a quick clean getaway. The idea here is to advance much more quickly to a point where the party will be given a chance to talk properly. In this idea, Holo, my secondary character will also be making her appearance and can offer a ride to the party once they jump through another chasm and escape, and her cart will serve as the center of peace and quite allowing them all to talk.

I am curious to see which idea you all have thoughts on for this and I am still open to other suggestions as well. The train fight is mostly just stalling for time and it will be quick, doubly so as the free fall, while still long, will not exactly be ideal for conversation during the event. The chasm is 800 miles long, and will still take at least 3 hours to cross, but falling at those speeds in free fall, conversations don't work well.
