IC: Draco As I make my way to the library, a distant sound catches my attention. I frown as I listen for it. However, no other noise reaches my ear. Did I imagine it? Maybe. I stop for a moment, and debate with myself whether I should go investigate the sound, or just forget about it and move on. At last, though, I decide to go and investigate. After all, patrolling was a boring affair, and if there was any chance that some sort of commotion was going down, then I would gladly go and stop it just to have a change of pace from these empty halls. So, I adjust my heading and start moving to where I thought the sound had emanated from. IC: Mortsia I didn't hear anything, as I was too focused on figuring out my new fighting style.
-
IC: Carraig I stare after the Rahkshi that just ran towards the sound. If there's a fight that's about to break out, I want a part in it. A good chance to test my metal. But... I think about how I had already made the decision to choose out a dorm. If I went back on that and put it off for later, than that would just prove that I would change everything on a whim. I could not afford to budge my position on anything. Okay, I'll just choose a dorm real quick then check out the fight. Best way to handle this. Without another thought, I switch into flight mode, and go to the dorms. It doesn't take very long to get there, seeing as I was already pretty close. As I exit flight mode, I open the closest door to me. A black Rahkshi with some kind of bird Rahi turn to me. "What do you think you're doing?" He says with this annoyed voice. "Sorry!" I say, before slamming the door shut. Occupied. I move over several doors and open another one. Thankfully, this one was empty. I close the door, and reach into my bag, grabbing gray warpaint. I dip my fingers into it, then, on the door, I paint a jagged line to represent mountains. Now... To battle. I place the jar of gray warpaint back in my bag, before pulling out a different color(red). I dip two fingers into the jar, then paint two vertical lines right by my left eye. Satisfied, I put the jar back up, before switching to flight mode, and flying to the source of the big yell.
-
IC: Shock Okay, I'm going to be real. When I decided to attack the group, the last thing I expected was to get my ear drums blown out. Unfortunately for me, that's exactly what happened. When the big yell happened, I got pushed back right into my seat, before falling on my back. I don't really know if that was from the sheer force of the yell or my shock that such a noise could come from a Rahkshi like that. In any case, the only thing I could hear was this constant ringing in my ears. I bring my hand up to my hearing apparatus, and feel blood. I groan as I slowly sit up. "WHAT THE #### WAS THAT!?" I yell, although I could have just as easily yelled "WHERE'S THE ZEALOUS BAT!?" Let's just hope it was the former. IC: Carraig A tap on my shoulder. I turn to this new Rahkshi. "Yeah, you could say that. I pretty much jus-" I am cut off by a big yell. Uh... I don't think that's normal... Just to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I turn to Thunder, though I didn't know her name. "You heard that, right?" IC: Dahl I was about to share my viewpoint when the sound of a massive shout reaches me. "Uh... The school doesn't scream, right?"
-
IC: Carraig I look behind me to see if that Rahkshi was following, only to find nothing. Whatever. Not like I don't know where I'm going now. I continue to walk with purpose to where the dorms supposedly were. IC: Shock Look at em. Eating like a bunch pigs. Keep that up and you'll end up like that borderline-obese Turahk that was running... Er, moving around. Bleh. Last thing we need is Rahkshi the size of a house and double the weight of one. You may be wondering what I was looking at. Well, if you had been keeping up with everything, you would've noticed the three Rahkshi stuffing their faces like a bunch of pigs. Utterly disgusting. Did nobody teach you manners? And why am I calling you out on it- in my mind? Now they were conversing. My face turns to one of disgust as I notice how content they look. Why would anybody be content with being... Content? If that was me and Nightmare, we would be discussing our next strat to kick some ##### and take some names. Ah, Nightmare. For a moment I let the memories flood onto me. We were gonna be Kings of the school, and do nefarious deeds to others... Whatever that means. I sigh. A shame that he had met his demise, with that wacko Lerahk at the spearhead leading to his death. If only you were still alive... Well, this one's for you. I stand up, a maniacal grin on my face, as I launch one, two, three Zamor spheres, one for each of the Rahkshi. OOC: And he's back. Shock interacting with Grakatas, A!, and Lost. Also, Carraig OFI.
-
IC: Carraig "Well, in that case, I'm going to go claim a room." Without another word, I begin to make my way to where Dormirahk said the dorms were. Maybe it was a bit rude to interrupt the conversation like that, but I had a purpose now. Besides, they could follow me anyways.

IC: Mortsia One of my first moves to learning this new style was to speed up how fast I could change colors. I couldn't just imagine what I wanted to do in battle instantly. Though it took only a few seconds to imagine what I wanted, in a fight those seconds would feel like an eternity. No, if I wanted to do it instantly, I needed a word or phrase to think to instinctively do it. This transformation is a full combination of all the transformations... I'll name it full form. With that in my mind, I take a deep breath before speaking in my luxuriously deep voice. "Full form." I say, while imagining the transformation I wanted. Sure enough, I transform within a couple of seconds. I disable my powers. "Full form." Once again, my colors change to match the image I want(same color body, but lower arms and legs neon green). I deactivate my powers once again, before repeating this step several times, each transformation slightly quicker than the last. Now then... Let's try this. Full form. Without any hesitation, my body instinctively changes to the color scheme I want. Perfect. I deactivate my powers. So now, even if I think the words 'full form'- Once again, my body instantly changes to the full form. I chuckle to myself as I deactivate my power. Exactly what I wanted. Now... Let's move on to each individual limb... IC: Carraig "Alright. Seems simple enough." I say, painting a mental image of the school. I wouldn't mind checking out the Gym. Could get a good spar in, and test my metal. But before that... "You said the dormitories are this way, right? Does every student have their own?"
-
IC: Carraig "You could say that." I say, shrugging. I think about how I had only arrived a couple minutes ago. "I was just wandering about for myself, just trying to get a bearing on where everything is."
-
IC: Carraig As I make my way down the hallway, I hear the voice of another Rahkshi. I glance over to the source of the voice, stopping. Quite a bit larger than your average Rahkshi... Interesting. Here I was thinking I was pretty much the limit for how big a Rahkshi could get. "Thanks. Name's Carraig. And you are..?"
-
IC: Draco Okay, well this wasn't as interesting as I originally thought. They are just kind of talking, and I can't hear a word. With a shrug, I turn to leave. Haven't checked out the library yet... Maybe there's something there I can do. Because as necessary as it may be, patrolling the school is mind numbingly boring. With all that in mind, I begin to make my way to the library. IC: Dahl Ah. So it seemed that not only were they peaceful folk, but they did not appreciate others who fight. Well ####. This conversation might not go as smoothly as I wanted it to. "So, I take it that you lot don't particularly fancy fighting. Would I be correct in that assumption?" I ask, as friendly as ever. IC: Carraig Waves, crashing at the bottom of the Causeway. To any living being, these waves would be overwhelming. Nothing could be done except to accept your fate and die (if you couldn't fly, that is.) But the Causeway itself stood firm, despite the roars of the ocean and the howls of the wind. It stood firm, despite all odds. On top of one of the last pillars before you enter the school, I stood, leaning on my claymore, taking it all in. Was I amazed at it? Not exactly. Though I do not really care for how it looked and was designed. No, I was preparing myself for the masses and how they would try to shake me, and make me lose my way. They would not succeed. I smile to myself. The waves of students may howl and roar and clamor for my blood, but I will stand firm. I stand up to my full height, and grab my claymore, placing it on my back. Showtime. I step into the halls of Corpus. As I enter, I notice a couple of different options as to which way I could go. Already, a split in my path. I choose a direction, before going down it with confidence. Though I did not know it at the time, I was heading towards the dormitories. OOC: Draco and Carraig OFI.

Greetings and salutations, new player! We also have a discord if you want to chat with other players here. EDIT: Well, this is my last character for good(hopefully). I didn't really have an itch to play another a character, but I liked this one so much I thought I might as well add them to my roster. Name: Carraig Variation: Limited Invulnerability Level: 2 Gender: Female Gear: Carraig carries a massive claymore with her at all times, as well as a bag of jars filled with different colors of warpaint. In addition, she carries a small, weathered rock to remind her of what she must be like. Appearance: Carraig is colored stone-grey and blue. She is slightly larger and stockier than your average Rahkshi, and she has covered her armor in another layer of plating(only protects against slashes and thrusts, not blunt force, and her joints are exposed.) Her eyes are a shade of orange, and the armor at her shoulders has been made to be jagged, to represent a range of mountains. Her spines are also jagged. Personality: Carraig could be described in one word: unshakable. Once she is set on a decision, there is nothing short of outright death that could stop her from following through with her choice. Some might see this as outright stubbornness, but she simply views it as not bowing to fate. If she is destined to fail, then she will make her own destiny. Her loyalty to her friends is undying, and if she has to put her life at risk to save them, then she would do it without hesitation. She is also quite blunt at times, and likes to make rude jokes(all in good fun). Bio: One of Carraig’s first memories is her Makuta telling her that she must stand firm in the face of danger, and be like a mountain-immovable. When she left for Corpus, she vowed to stay true to that principle in everything that she did.

IC: Dahl "Whaddaya mean 'not much'? I haven't met a single other Rahkshi who can make music and stuff. Most of em are always, 'I'm only here to get stronger so I can avenge my dearly departed pet,' or 'I will fight with everything I have, to make my friends and the Makuta proud!', and my personal favorite, 'I hate all of you and want to destroy everything here without a second thought.' Like seriously. So many hot heads in this school wanting to fight for one reason or another. Probably could include me in that list of hot heads too! So by that logic, your 'not much' is actually soooooo much more than most. I dig it." IC: Mortsia As I go down the halls, a door cracked open catches my attention. I drop off the ceiling, turning my body midair, before landing on all fours. Standing back up, I open the door to find an empty classroom. Perfect. I didn't want to try and figure out what I wanted to do in the gym. Too many eyes, and who knows how many of them I would duel with. No, I needed to figure this out alone. Closing the door behind me, I close my eyes. Breathe in. Breathe out. Inhale. Exhale. Forget all your worries. Let everything go. Just focus on the task at hand. I open my eyes. Now, to work. I focus my powers and will my lower arms and legs to turn a bright green. Once again, I am met with the same result. I cut off my powers, and try again. Still no good. Maybe I can't change only a portion of my body... Maybe I have to change it all. I ponder this for a moment, before I set myself up to change colors again... Only this time, I would will my torso and upper appendages to turn to the color I painted my armor, while my lower arms and legs would turn into a bright green. Focus. I close my eyes and activate my power. Did it work? I open my eyes slowly, to see my body the same color as it was, save for my lower legs and arms. I smile to myself. Excellent. Now I can begin.
-
IC: Dahl I nod. Makes sense... At least for others. I just don't see why you would want to blend in when you could be yourself, do the things you want to do, and be all the more jolly because of that. "Well, seems you've got the perfect ability to do just that. Keep on doing you." I turn to Melody. "Et vous? Do you have any special skill to differentiate yourself from the boring student body?"
-
IC: Mortsia My search for something interesting to read and learn about was... Less than successful. Nothing was really peaking my interest. With a sigh, I turn away from the shelf... Only to see a conversation between what looked like a Panrahk and a striped Rahkshi. It has been a while since I have seen another Rahkshi... Maybe I should say hello. ... No. That would be quite rude if they were discussing something private. I am not going to take that chance and potentially make others hostile towards me. As I turn to leave, I notice a bit of green and blue on the Panrahk. Painted? Probably not to be distracting while on a mission... But... The gears start turning in my head. If a color is distracting, then one's eyes may be naturally drawn towards that color... Meaning that they would not see something that is potentially more dangerous... I look at my arms, then, after a moment, will them to turn a bright shade of neon green... Only for my whole body to turn that shade. I frown, and deactivate my powers. What did you expect? You've never used your powers like this. Like everything, it will take practice and dedication. Despite not having reached the outcome I was hoping for right off the bat, I was still quite excited about my idea. If this worked like I hope it would, then I could throw off my opponents in an unorthodox way. I turn to leave the library, then, upon exiting, climb onto the wall before transitioning to the ceiling, and leave to roam the halls and find an empty room to practice in. IC: Dahl "Hmmmm..." I scratch my chin in thought as I examine Canvas. Not gonna lie, I'm impressed. It ain't every day you meet someone who can pull these kinds of shenanigans off. "Aight, you win. That's... That's some neato stuff that I haven't seen. Gotta ask though. Why do acting? Were just born for it? Or do you have some deeper motivation?"
-
IC: Dahl Well color me surprised. She stole my look!... Didn't really capture my cool factor, though. Eh, mimicry can only get so close, I guess... "Not going to lie, that's pretty neato. And, for what it's worth, yes, I do like theatrrrre and all the... Well, theatrics that it brings." Something was bugging me slightly. I mean, sure, it's all fine and dandy copying someone's style, but if you can't act like them, what's the point? "Aight, so you can take someone's look and make it your own. Big deal. How good are you at acting as them, though?"
-
IC: Dahl "An actor? Wait, does the school do theatre, or is that just something you do in your free time?" I ask Canvas. I'll admit, not knowing everything about this school and the activities that go on here was pretty annoying, but at least it got me talking to Rahks. Talk about thinking on the bright side... Or is it dark side for us? Eh, whatever.

IC: Draco My patrolling of the school eventually took me to the courtyard. All the time, I was only half-looking for any trouble, while lost in thought about my blunder with me missing the assignment, Why could I not have just been around to hear him call for the assembly? I needed to grow stronger, to show everyone, to show him, that I was someone who should be feared and respected, and I pull one of my biggest blunders now at Corpus, and that's saying something! I shake my head in disgust at myself. Laughter. I look up from my anger, and I see a group in the courtyard, laughing. I pause for a moment. Look at them. All of them smiling, acting as if they are having a blast. I bet not one of them could stand up to me in a battle... Yet they don't seem to mind the fact. They are Rahkshi! They were made with combat in mind! But... They don't care about that. Why? I get individuality, but why are Rahkshi, creatures who should instinctually be fighters, simply content with peace? It makes no sense. Unless... Unless it isn't instictual like I believe. Maybe we were all born with a choice to be something. I wonder if I stayed who I was when I was born, if I'd be like them. Smiling and laughing without a care in the world... Maybe I still could? No. I made my choices, and I will stick with them to the day I die, whether in combat or some other reasons. Besides, fighting is the only thing that makes me feel truly alive. I smile a little to myself. Ironic. The only way for me to feel alive is to put my life at risk. I continue to observe this group in the courtyard. After all, they intrigue me. They also gave me a new question for me to find an answer to: what does it mean to be a Rahkshi?
-
IC: Dahl Another Rahkshi? Who is probably not a violent one as well? This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them! Without missing a beat, I turn to the newcomer. "Dahl, at your service. I assume you two are friends?"
-
IC: Mortsia The halls were devoid of any life. Where once students roamed, there was nothing Nothing NOTHING. Was this my doing? I look around me. Nothing. I take a step, and hear a sickening crunch. I look down at my feet, and- Bodies. Rahkshi, both known and unknown to me, surround me, dead. The carparaces, strangled of life, bent and torn into near unrecognizable shapes. Kraata, scattered around as if they were fallen leaves on the ground. Was this my doing? I ask myself again. They were nothing Nothing NOTHING. Just fodder. They did not deserve to live. They prevented me from my purpose. To rip and tear RIP AND TEAR. What is that? I look further, and I see a light, and I hate it HATE IT. I run towards it, on all fours. rip and tear RIP AND TEAR RIP AND TEAR. I pounce on my prey. I need to eliminate that light, I must I MUST. I claw and I rip and I tear it to pieces. I look at its face, HIS face, and with the satisfaction of a predator after a successful hunt, I watch the life drain from Vlad's ey- "HELLO!!!!!" My eyes fly open as I am startled awake... And promptly fall off the ceiling in the library. Groaning, I sit myself up. What was that? Last I remember, I was reading... Maybe I dozed off... I shake my head. I feel as if I am forgetting something... Did I dream? That would explain the sense of terror I was currently feeling. But... For the life of me, I could not remember a thing about it. If it is important to me, I will figure it out later. I stand up, and pick up the book that I dropped to return it to the shelf, before browsing the shelves for another book to read. OOC: Mortsia OFI in the library.
-
IC: Dahl Ah. Seems that this Rahk was a timid one. Seems as though some good old fashioned brawling was out of the question immediately. Whatevs. Not everyone is a fighter around here. Besides, I need to get my name out there with as many Rahks as possible, get some allies, and build my reputation. Pretty soon, I'll be king of this school! ... ... ... Ah, who am I kidding. That ain't ever gonna happen, what with those prefects. 'sides, I don't wanna rule anything. Too much paperwork. I'll just make good connections with other Rahkshi, and go from there. I get up from my bow. "Dahl, at your service. I'll be honest, I'm not familiar with the others of the student body, so I guess I don't really know the 'proper way' of greeting someone, so apologies for startling you." All of this, I say with a friendly, if slightly mischievous, smile on my face-plate. No, I wasn't planning on doing anything, that's just my smile.
-
IC: Draco "You do that then. If there is an assignment, however, be warned that you most likely not be allowed to enter late." I say, composing myself. I cannot let my thoughts and emotions get in the way of completing my duty. "If you'll excuse me, I have other things that I must attend to." Adjusting my cloak, I turn to leave Grataka to his own devices. Meanwhile, I had to make sure the rest of the school was in order... and see if I can find the other prefects.
-
IC: Draco "Again, I've been out of commission, so if there is an assignment going on, I don't have the slightest idea as to what it could be." I say, still furious with myself and my momentary weakness.
-
IC: Draco "I'd be lying if I said I knew. I've been out of commission for... A while, and I am not necessarily caught up with all the events that have transpired recently. Although..." I glance around. There seems to be a lack of students. So, either they all died horrible deaths, or they are gathered some place for some purpose. "If I had to guess, there is probably an assignment occurring." Which means I missed a chance to level up. I clench my fists as I curse myself internally. If the other prefects are currently participating, then I am just falling further and further behind. They could all be Shadow Kraata by now! And yet here I am, sitting at perhaps a measly level four, talking to some random student! If they have gotten stronger, then... Then there might not be a need for me. I know that sadist Sliver would dispose of me in a heartbeat if she was given the opportunity, and maybe some of the others. I cannot fall behind. But how can I catch up? A sudden hopelessness consumes me. No no NO. I am not going to feel useless and sorry for myself. Other Rahkshi might, but not me. I am Draco, a child of Icarax, a prefect of Corpus Rahkshi, and a warrior. I will not let anything stop me from achieving power. NOTHING.
-
IC: Draco I frown slightly. "Patrol the campus, and make sure there aren't any... incidents occurring. The student body as a whole isn't known to be peaceful, and as such, chaos often ensues."
-
IC: Draco "Draco." My reply was curt and to the point. No need to waste any time with my titles. Heh. I would not have hesitated to go off on how I was infinitely better than him... Even though it probably is true... Never know though for sure though. Could be any level. Now, that being said/thought, I did not shake his hand. I still was fairly annoyed at him, and plus, my claws could cause unnecessary damage to the student.
