Toa Of Virtues

I know that the ussalry is like a police force, but what else comes with it? Are they doing anything special now?

IC: Kapuru "Thanks, I'll make my way over there now."

Whose character can sign up my character to the ussalry?

IC: Kapuru Kapuru smiled, maybe he could get back into action after all these years, even if it was for the other side. "Where can I sign up?"

IC: Kapuru This time, Kapuru frowned. Kapuru liked action, and couldn't stand tedious tasks. Even in the drifts, he was able to fight off different rahi to keep himself amused. "What about the Ussalry? I think my talents would be more well-suited towards that." For a moment, Kapuru considered the irony if he joined. Many years ago, he worked as a mercenary, and was good at it. It was so long ago, he doubted if it would get in the way. He used to work under an assumed name and he had changed armor since then, so even if his crimes were still relevant, no one should think it was him.

IC: Kapuru "Horseman Company? What are they about?" Kapuru thought that if he could get some sort of status, maybe he would have better luck gathering a party.

IC: Kapuru "Hm" Ralis said, disappointed by yet another rejection. He seemed to be having very poor luck gathering people for this. "Well, do you know of anyone that needs work? I need to work up some money before I leave."

IC: Kapuru to Sajis As Kapuru walked along the underground streets, he thought about the past few years. He heard a legend about a treasure near Ihu-Koro, and decided to go search for it. It was not a treasure of money or precious minerals, but objects of great power. He knew the entire village of Ihu-Koro was wiped out in a massacre, and he assumed it was over these objects. He searched through the drifts for years, but had little success. Eventually, he gave up. However, after Kapuru thought about it some more, he realized all he needed was more manpower. If he was able to gather a search party, he would find it much sooner. That way, the years of searching he did would not be for nothing, even if he would have to split the finding. After being rejected several times after asking strangers if they would like to join, he asked a Fa-Matoran. Although he knew nothing about her, he felt he could relate. "I've heard there is something very valuable hidden near Ihu-Koro, and I'm gathering a party to search for it. You seem like you could handle yourself out in the drifts, how would you like to join? I promise it will be worth your time."

I believe (or at least hope) that their masks were mutated like their bodies, correct? Because the masks they wear look a lot more like Noble versions of the (shapeshifted) masks the Makuta wore, and my head-canon has used that so far. I mean, if it's non-mutated it doesn't make much sense to me that Gavla's mask would be a Noble Kaukau, for example. I think their masks were switched upon their transformation. Yes, they were switched. That's the question I asked Greg.

What is the status of Ihu-Koro? I'm thinking of tying up some loose ends there...

I'm watching Death Note right now, and it's very good. It sort of reminds me of a book series I read when I was younger; Artemis Fowl.

This sounds interesting, I would like my Vortixx to get involved, it would be a good way to catapult him into this, since it seems no one will interact with him otherwise.

He was struck by the white rahkshii of anger in Onu-Koro, so his mask was infected with poison and anger.

Oh, that does sound big. When I left, the promo with the submarine just came out, so this sounds like you guys have been waiting a while.

What is this? I'm a little lost here. First contact?

Ha! You think you can beat me? I'm the bringer of life, cheer, and prosperity. The only thing you bring is doom and barbarity. I'm not afraid, you were made from slime. You are nothing but a big waste of time. For the rest of this verse, I bid you adieu. I'll just pass on the mic to a golden version of you. To think we were the same Is a crying shame. All you want now is power and fame. You went down the wrong path Now you're just full of wrath And all you've become is a big, mad, psychopath. Takanuva is right You must see the light Or I will stop you with all my might.

Soul Eater part 4 episode 12

Aaaaand just finished watching Soul Eater, just in time for this conversation, it seems. How different is it from the manga?

IC: Kapuru After traveling from Ko-Koro, Kapuru decided to look for work in Onu-Koro. Although he was a mercenary, he would be content with any well-paying job. OOC: Kapuru open for interaction.

Which is the best Koro I should move my character into to get him involved? Ko isn't working out so well.

Chapter 14 Ralis had finally managed to melt through enough debris to stand up. He noticed the bodies of the four Toa who had attacked him still pinned under a toppled support beam. He held out his hand, contemplating a final blast of Radiation that would keep them from interfering ever again. But he smiled and returned his arm to his side. They’d awake in time and undoubtedly free themselves. They would be a useful exercise for his Nu-Matoran army before they struck Metru Nui. Ralis turned his attention to the door on the opposite side of the tunnel. A lock in the center advised anyone who wished to enter to place their hand upon a glowing pad. Ralis’ first impulse was to radiate the door to slag, but he remembered it was created to allow Matoran of Radiation to pass. He placed his hand on the pad, heard a scanning sound, and then the door slid open. He stepped in and was greeting by a sight he’d been longing to see: other Nu-Matoran. A twinge of guilt came as he remembered the horrifying deaths of his first batch of followers, the Nu-Matoran of Metru Nui. The sacrifices of those brave martyrs would be avenged, he told himself. “Matoran of Karda Nui!” he bellowed. His strong voice echoed throughout the cavernous structure. A thousand Matoran stopped their labors to look to him. He continued: “The time has come for us to free ourselves from the Primary-element oligarchy that oppresses us!” Though they were too far away for Ralis to tell, the Matoran’s expressions were not relived smiles of salvation, but puzzled gazes of confusion. Their uncertainty gave way to terror when an explosion sent the Toa of Radiation flying over the railing and landing hard on the metal floor several bio below. The four Toa Narai stepped through the gaping hole, Belhiru in the lead with his smoking axe. No, they’re too early! Ralis thought in horror. He couldn’t help but stop to think of the images of the last Nu-Matoran massacre he had witnessed. This time, the Nu-Matoran would strike first. In one swift motion, he unlimbered, loaded, and fired a shot from his Pr-135 launcher. Three of the Toa jumped just out of the blast range as the ball struck and coated the doorway in radioactive protodermis. Ralis smiled, content with the knowledge that he’d just solved one-fourth of his biggest problem at the moment. He didn’t hear the quarter-of-a-problem materialize behind him, but he did feel her hooked weapon wrap around his neck. ---- Toa Desula smiled under her Mask of Quick Travel. The Toa Narai had agreed in advance that whoever actually killed Ralis got a bigger part of the reward. Her psychic powers told her too late that Ralis wasn’t her only enemy. Three of the Nu-Matoran workers charged at her and tackled her to the ground, forcing her to drop her tool. By reflex, she briefly looked into all three of their minds. She found the same thing: Fear. Confusion. Panic. They had no idea what was going on, so were going to help the tall Matoran who looked most like them. Maybe they’re not as different from the Primaries as that Toa would like to think, Desula thought as she mentally flung the Matoran off of her. Belhiru and Jehka were preoccupied with other Matoran, but she noticed Arkko priming up his Plasma Sword for a blast and filled Ralis’ mind with mental noise, hoping to distract him. “Toa, look out!” one of the Matoran frantically shouted. Ralis turned just as Arkko fired a stream of plasma. The Toa of Radiation leapt out of the way, twisting his body to narrowly avoid another blast from the Scream Staff. The Matoran trying to keep Jehka from activating it were not so lucky. Ralis soared away from the Toa and slammed into the glass floor. His eyes briefly locked with one of the Matoran of Lightning working below the main chamber. Many of the Nu-Matoran had already flocked to help him, what were these ones waiting for? He pulled himself up and told himself he’d free them later. He turned and saw the brown-and-gray Toa with his axe to the neck of one of his followers. The blade was close enough that it nudged the Nu-Matoran’s mask ever so slightly off-center from his face. But the Toa moved his axe back to his side before turning for Ralis. The Toa of Radiation, almost in disbelief, said, “You spared him.” Belhiru aimed his tool at Ralis and replied, “You won’t be so lucky.” “Wait, wait,” Ralis said, “Do you hate Nu-Matoran?” Arkko stepped next to Belhiru and interjected, “Don’t try to talk your way out of this. We’re taking you to the Brotherhood of Makuta and claiming our bounty if we have to take you in pieces.” Ralis knew he would have to tread carefully. These Toa weren’t like the Toa Metru; instead of the Metru’s self-righteous sense of honor, these four had personality. “The Brotherhood? Those shadow-lovers are the ones giving you your orders?” Ralis could tell he’d hit Arkko where it hurt: his pride. “You could be so much more,” Ralis said. “The way you fight … all of you … I offer you this, Toa: forsake your loyalties to the Brotherhood and anyone else. You are of Secondary elements, like me. Join my army as generals and you can fulfill your hunger for battle and victory. The only difference is that you will be part of the most powerful empire in history.” Arkko looked to his teammates, Desula first. She telepathically confirmed his own sentiment: Let’s do it. Arkko looked around at all the Nu-Matoran. Sure, they were annoying as Matoran, but if even a few of them become Toa like this one, they would indeed be unstoppable. “What do you need, boss?” Arkko asked. Review Topic

Except in Ko, there hasn't been any activity there for days. First time I've been here in half a year (maybe more) and I start in the least active wahi...

I just discovered the wonders of anime very recently, so I'm still very new to the whole genre. However, in the past month I watched all of Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Sword Art Online... send help.

IC: Kapuru Kapuru wandered the streets of Ko-Koro, looking for work as a mercenary. Ko-Koro looked very different when he had last seen it, since he spent several years living alone in the drifts. All the spots he knew where to get work were gone, and he felt like an outsider. OOC: Open for interaction EDIT: IC: Not finding any work in Ko-Koro, Kapuru traveled to Onu-Koro hoping he would have better luck there. OOC: Kapuru to Onu

Is there any storylines I can jump in? I need to get back in the flow of this...
