Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Discussion Topic - Takea TankardsNOTE TO PLAYERS - It is currently between Dusk and Midnight, The shipyards are Closed, as are Castle Sakrinil and the public sections of Shimmering Palace.Flickering lights held within hanging lanterns flickered across the tavern, as the uproarious crowd quieted down for the central focus of the moment, a new comer bard who was singing an uplifting tale of a dashing swordsmen in combat against a ruthless pirate, all to win the heart of the damsel and get the treasure horde the terrible adversary kept back.With the end of the tale and song, the masses let out a long uproar, followed by a howling applause that rocked the building before returning to the norm. Some stood off to the side with a tankard in hand, singing and acting jubilant, while others sat in the far corner of the room, calmly watching the whole event. Some stood to the side, hoping nobody noticed them. In some corners, sailors spoke with merchants; in others, aspiring captains attempted to gather a crew.A few sit in the stools close to the innkeeper, who wipes down the tabletop, as they try to forget their worries. The innkeeper shows them the attention and listens as necessary, while also eyeing those entering and sending waitresses to escort them to their seating, where they can join with the others within.This is the Discussion Topic for the RPG Waves of the South! Here, you may discuss anything regarding to the RPG, or just chat among yourselves. Try to keep on subject; if you do go off subject, try to get back on track quickly before it just becomes pointless spamming.First of all, thanks to Tafu for proposing the name used for this Discussion Topic.If you were going to make a post in OOC, but do not have anything IC to go with it, you must post here. That’s the rules, and considering its put in the rules, and right here in huge bolded letters, you have absolutely no excuse to go breaking it. It’s like pushing a button that says ‘do not touch’. By all accounts, you should be shot on the spot, while the real operation it would normally perform is operated by a hidden lever. I cannot stress this enough. Wait. Yes I can. I’m doing it right now.Profiles must be posted here for approval before being posted in the profiles topic. I want to keep that topic limited only to profiles to make it easier for other players to use. It also means we can keep all profiles for a single player in one post, which makes finding a description of another characters appearance a lot easier (admit it – every one of us has mistake at least one characters species at some point). While that won’t stop all problems, it will make things a lot easier.Follow all BZPower rules on this topic. Obviously.Finally, this topic will serve to show all ‘Current Events’ that are storyline related in the RPG. As players, you may perform actions that lead to these. If something major happens, you might have a bounty placed on a character. That’s right – committing crimes and being caught in the act will get a bounty on your head for your capture, and everyone in the world will see it right here.Current EventsGovernor Vamden is currently dealing with the fallout of sacrificing claims to a number of ore rich isles to the north. Being forced to pay for off-island supplies, and thus being subjected to tariffs, has made the Traders Guild testy. The clipper ship Star of the South, along with 5% of the profits, has been promised to any willing to travel south in search of new mining land.There are reports that the Brotherhood of Makuta has sent a vessel south, and that their agent is currently docked in Ampora. Members of the Vermillion Dragon have shown interest in locating the legendary Legion Scepter, a supposedly magical mace wielded by Count Gremost prior to it being was stolen by a legendary thief known as Midnight 300 years after he used it to oust the Justiciars. No luck has been found so far, but such an item could turn a nice profit if sold to the right people. The Yheyn Rebellion has also begun seeking the artifact, in hopes of using it as a weapon against the Southern Alliance. The other major factions have shown no major interest, and Vamden has outright declared it a waste of time.The mass murderer Dridak is wanted dead or alive by both the Toa Council and the Xankah Order. Pretty much everybody else, too. He is a dangerous psychopath with powers over Magnetism and the Kanohi Jutlin.Story Update Posts1. Shimmering Palace (Vamden & Tselkar)2.

Evex_Wolfwing Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Character Name: ZintelGender & Species: Male Toa of AirPowers: Elemental Control over air. Stronger than the average Toa of Air, if less agile.Equipment: A spiked flail. Kanohi Kualsi, the Great Mask of Quick Travel.Appearance: A short, broad shouldered, deep chested Toa of Air, clad in dark green and black armor, with silver shoulder and chest armor. His mask is in the shape of a dark green Kualsi. Orange eyes.Faction: Xankah OrderPersonality: With a temper shorter than his stature, Zintel is very easily annoyed. Especially when his height is brought up, which is a good way to be punched in the face. Has a strong sense of justice, and doesn’t like being told how to do his job.Biography: Zintel is a man of action, preferring to punch you in the face first, then ask why you did it. He views the Toa Council as lazy and arrogant, never getting the job done as it should. Despite his aggressiveness and rough exterior, he genuinely cares for the Matoran and other inhabitants of the Southern Alliance’s land.Character Name: Roul, Alias: Headshot (or “Eadshot”, as he says it)Gender & Species: Male Prime Species (Pridak)Powers: Usual speed, strength and agility of his kind, honed by years of exercise into quite an athletic being. A excellent marksman.Equipment: Kanohi Adamechus, the Great Mask of Biomechanics. Clockwork Pistols (2), bowie knife. Appearance: A tall, well built and very handsome man, with a brown trench coat, and brown cowboy hat, and a mask shaped like a jawbone, which seems wit fit snug onto his own jaw. Icy blue eyes. His coat’s collar usually hides most of his face, blocking his mask from view. White armor, with black hands, feet, and neck. Fingers look like claws.Faction: The Vermillion DragonPersonality: Charming and flashy, with a great love for drama and attention, when convenient. When inconvenient, he can reign himself in, and melt away into the crowd.Biography: Roul grew up on the high seas. He hates being on land preferring to be onboard a ship, preferably as a mercenary. He loves action, and the more fights he can get into per week, the better.Character Name: EvexGender & Species: Male RegrianPowers: Repulsion. Regeneration/Quick Healing, acute senses. Powerful jaws. Wiry muscles give him strength comparable to most Toa, perhaps a bit more. Quick and agile.Equipment: Fangs and talons. A scythe. Also carries a sketch pad and charcoal.Appearance: A tall, freakishly thin reptilian being. Clad in dark green and silver armor, with grey flesh with a greenish tint. Green blood. A good nine feet tall, long and thin limbs, waist, and snout. The breadth of his shoulders suggests his species are usually much more muscular than he is. Digitigrade feet. Long fingers and talons. His hands and feet have four digits: two fingers/toes, and a thumb on either side. All digits end in talons. Blue-green eyes, with slit pupils. The back of his head and neck are covered in brown, feather like quills. Cat-like ears, except they are over a foot long. Tail is a good thirteen feet long, ends in a fan like sail supported by bony spines. The membrane is blue, with red and black eyespots.Faction: N/APersonality: Despite his beastly appearance, Evex is a perfectly civil being... most of the time. Look, catching fish with you jaws is fun. And who doesn’t want to snatch every insect out of the air? And is it really so big a deal to playfully nip people you like? Is it!?Apart from his various quirks, Evex is surprisingly quiet around most people, only opening up to people he trusts. To other his jaws are shut, and his eyes adverted. Biography: Evex hails from the Southern portion of the Norther Continent, though he moved to the Southern Alliance’s territory very early in life, as he enjoys the sea. He usually makes a living off of odd jobs, or exploring. Edited July 3, 2012 by The One who is Gone They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more. The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers. Come Tenno, you must join the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25K Now! Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Profiles go!---Name: ArkrakGender: MaleSpecies: ToaPowers: Elemental Power of SonicsEquipment: Great Mask of Charisma; Sanjiegun; DaoAppearance: Arkrak has the appearance of the usual Toa of Sonics, with a colour scheme consisting of dark grey and white. Unlike most Toa of Sonics however, his eyes are blue, instead of yellow, and they shine behind his grey-white Mask of Charisma.Faction: Xankah Order, also affiliated with Yheyn Trader's Guild.Personality: Arkrak is a rather care-free person, preferring to merely enjoy life to its fullest than fret over everything that happens too him. He enjoys the companionship of others, regularly holding discussions with others about any subject imaginable. However, he can be somewhat sarcastic at times, and has the habit of swearing a lot.Biography: Arkrak spent most of his life on Effrah, where he still resides. There, he runs a general store, selling random things to passerbys. However, due to his being a sculptor, most of the things he sells are his own works, which are surprisingly rather well-made. He doesn't really do much other than sell things and make models, and is perfectly content with his life.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 @ Krayzikk; No, not yet. Your characters need to meet each other, make rivals, etc. first and fulfill the exposition of our story. Then we can kick off the main plot line. We have to do this thing professionally.@ Evex; Zintel [approved].Roul not approved, the Biography is too short (50 words minimum). Oh, minor nuance, but growing up is a weird term to use in this cas.Evex not approved, the Biography is too short. No other problems, but NPCs will call him a freak.Freak.@ Hubert;OH NO IT'S ARKRAK!

otter Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Name: AclaraungSpecies: Dragon-like subspecies of MystixGender: MaleAppearance: A large, resplendent being, with golden-red scales, a long tail, and a mighty crest, three rows of blade-like horns along it, a long, spined frill of flesh which runs down his head to nearly the end of his tail, helping to stablize him in flight, long, clawed wing-arms with powerful muscles, powerful hind-legs as well.Powers: Being of the dragon-like subspecies of Mystix, his has a few specific abilities. First, he has latent psychic abilities-he can connect with a being's mind, to speak with them, but has very little capability to attack them mentally, and the contact is strained through distance. He also has slight telekinesis-he can pick up small objects, generally nothing larger than a Kavinika wolf, with his mind, and use them as weapons/shields, though he can only pick one up at a time, and it strains his concentration as well.After that, he has fire-based abilities. He can breathe flame, of an almost liquid, napalm-like substance, which will stick and burn, even on the water, as well as being able to dispel heat/flame around him. He cannot, however, control the heat of the air, nor heat up a being, unless he's using his flame breath.Abilities: Aclaraung has excellent eyesight, on par with that of a hawk's, which he has used in the past when hunting. Now, he needs it little, though it is still a useful ability.He is also an excellent flier, despite his scale. He is capable of many acrobatic maneuvers in the air that could badly harm a normal Mystix, due to his stronger build, as well as having his tail to help him steer in the air. He can also fly much longer than other Mystix, natural endurance for him. He is, however, slower than most Mystix, due to his heavy scale.Aside from that, Aclaraung has excellent hearing, a common trait to all Mystix.Weapons: Everything natural. First, his scale is as hard as protosteel, though a well placed attack can still get through it. That, and it is rather sharp-if you run a hand along him the wrong way, trying to grab him, your hand will get cut to mincemeat. Aside from this, they are reflective, and he can slightly alter their position on his body, as to whether they are up from his body slightly, or flush against it.His flame breath is, of course, his most commonly used weapon. It is useful for burning enemy ships, when needed, and for lighting things at night/cooking his food. It is very dangerous, and burns for quite a long time.He also has his claws and his teeth, which he uses rather often as well, especially when fighting on the ground, near his friends, who he wouldn't want to burn.Finally, his tail is a weapon of its own right. Not only is it covered with sharp scales, those scales form a hard, armour-piercing tip at the end of his tail, which he can use to stab a being, as well as knocking somebody over/tripping somebody with his tail.Personality: Noble, generally tries to do good, but only to keep others looking on him favorably-otherwise, he wouldn't really care what happened. Also somewhat arrogant, though he is very loyal to his friends. Always wants to be at the forefront of the battle.Biography: Aclaraung was, formerly, a Mystix who resided on a little-known island, farther in the North. Eventually, though, he was driven from his home, as other beings came with their armies to take the lands. Now, he has gone to a life of piracy on the high seas, though he flies more than he rides on a ship.Eventually, during the course of his time in the South, he came upon a small island. There was a Toa there, named Song, who was building herself a ship. Well, Aclaraung decided to help her and to protect it, and he eventually ended up co-captaining the ship with the Toa of Psionics, leading up to the present day.EDIT: Hey wait.

Evex_Wolfwing Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 *Hits head against desk* Now I have to THINK. This may take a while. The Biography section isn't my strong point. They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more. The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers. Come Tenno, you must join the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Character Name: GaioliGender & Species: Female, Toa of WaterPowers: Control over WaterEquipment: She carries a warblade, along with a elemental-powered rifle she custom built. Wears a Faxon, along with spiked knee pads.Appearance: Link, Gallery (when public)Faction: Loosely Vermillion DragonPersonality: She is cold and unforgiving. Never speaks, instead writes what she wants to say on a small board.Biography: Gaioli was part of the Toa Council, and was being 'loaned' to the Coast Guard for 5 years. The 4th year into her 'loan', she and the squad she was on were sent out to investigate reports of maulings at Nibar. Gaioli was left behind to protect the boat, and the squad went into the forest. After a while, the leader came back, bloodied and hurt. He told her to go, run, and leave the island. His last words were 'The Bear.. is coming...' Tramatized, she sailed away on the boat, never speaking again, instead writing down what she need to say. She thought the Guard had sent them there just to die, and she became angry. Becoming a mercenary and sharpshooter, Gaioli now sails the seas looking for jobs. And there's the profile. *Whew* EDIT: Fixed.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) @ Grochi; Lol newbie? @ Vorex;Oh no, this guy too?Not approved, Bio is too short.@ Evex;I can't not make a long Biography. The only reason my NPC ones for this are so short is because I'm hiding things from you.@ Zakaro;Okay, while the character itself could be approved, the Bio is not. There is no childhood for species in the Matoran Universe. They just... appear, or whatever, into the Universe. I try to think of it as they just blend into the crowd one day when somebody dies, as the Universe replaces a missing part. So the whole orphanage backstory and all of that does not work. At all.@ iBrow;Alright man.@ Hubert; Hold on, I'm a total moron!Arkrak [not approved]. Revoked approval.Toa who aren't Council or Order are rogue, by default.

Athmos Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Name: TajehGender & Species: Male ToaPowers: Toa of Ice; Kanohi Kakama The Mask Of SpeedEquipment: Leather Satchel; Weapon: 1774 French Charleville Musket with Bayonet(Approved)Appearance: Tajeh stands at 7 feet tall with a slim build. He is quite strong for a Toa of Ice, resulting in his toned look. His armor and his body is white, with blue and silver streaks and splashes across it. His mask is in the shape of a Hau, the same color as his armor and body. His armor is light, allowing more movement. Faction(Toa Council)Personality: Tajeh is an out-going, fun loving Toa of Ice. He is very different from other Ko-Matoran and Ko-Toa. He is quick to make friends and tries not to get into battle as much as possible. He will try talking an enemy down before he raises a weapon against him. He is rather gullible. He is quite trustworthy and loyal to his friends. Biography: Tajeh was a Matoran on an island, much farther North. He lived there most of his life, having adventures most thought crazy with a group of Toa and their leader. One adventure lead to Tajeh uncovering a Toa Stone. He quickly filled his head with ideas of greatness which led to his downfall. In a battle with a rouge Toa, Tajeh was transported away from his home island, to the sands of Yheyn. He doesn't know how he got there, nor where he is, but a new island, meant new adventures. Tajeh's goal is to return home soon, but it doesn't seem possible at the moment.The weapon was pre-approved.

Wade. Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Dang it...I posted my profile in the profile topic...let me post it here...sorry man.Name: DridakSpecies: Toa of MagnetismGender: MaleMask: Jutlin, Mask of CorruptionFaction: Neutral (Evil)Appearance: From top to bottom, Dridak's entire body is wrapped in bandages, covering all but his poisonous red eyes, resembling a mummy. He sports blademaster apparel, consisting of dark teal robes covering his lower half, leaving his upper body exposed with the exception of a diagonal strap running across his torso, carrying two katana sheaths on his back. A crimson red bandana wraps around the top of his head. What little skin exposed through the cracks of his bandages appears red and raw, burned.Equipment: Inside of the two sheaths on his back are twin katanas and coiled around his waist is a very long chain with a very wide and medium-sized blade at its end, possesing carvings on its side like that of a dragon's head.Abilities and Traits: Dridak is a master swordsman and trained in the art of hand to hand combat. Skilled with the use of his magnetic powers and Jutlin, a one on one fight with him can prove quite difficult as he likes to strip his opponents of their weapons and turn the environment against them. His chain moves in a serpentine fashion as if it were alive, controlled by Dridak himself and can be a very deadly weapon at any range.Personality: At heart, Dridak is a twisted and vile monster who seeks nothing but to satisfy his needs and desires, no matter the cost. Whatever morals he once had, if ever, are gone and he finds great pleasure in other people's misery and suffering, often causing it himself making him even more sadistic and psychotic. He possesses very little tolerance for failure, stupidity and often rules over his peers through fear and power.History: From the very start, Dridak was always a troubled soul although he kept his mental problems a secret until he had gotten his hands on a sword. For years, he worked to to hone his skills, training with many great warriors and once he found they could not teach him more, they were slaughtered before setting off in search of greater power. Through the years, his name became famous after countless horrendous crimes, leaving nothing but blood in his wake. Eventually, the authorities captured him and sentenced him to execution. They tried burning him alive however somehow, he escaped and survived it all before the Council or the Order got to him. He disappeared for countless years, rumours spreading that the world was finally graced with his death. They were wrong. Now he has "risen from the ashes" as normal folk say, intent on making the world pay for what they did to him.

Like this -The mass murderer Dridak is wanted dead or alive by both the Toa Council and the Xankah Order. He is a dangerous psychopath with powers over Magnetism and the Kanohi Jutlin. [Current Event]So yeah, get rid of that family nonsense. Also, stick in that he was able to escape execution before the Council or Order got to him, because they would have made sure he never got away.@ Zakaro;Alright, [approved] and stuff then.@ Cinnamon Grochi;I was eating a cinna-bun.-Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wears heavy black armour that covers almost his entire body. The Kanohi Pakari, the Mask of Strength.Appearence: A tall, broad shouldered toa of fire.

He enjoys being a part of The Vermillion Dragon. Sometimes, his insanity can take hold, causing him to commit actions that endanger himself and the other Vermillion Dragon members.Biography: In his early life, he lived on an island north of Yheyn. At a point later in his life, he took a boat to Yheyn, and wndered the island there for several years. Once, he saw vapour coming up from a crevice, and after breathing the vapour, he went partially insane, though he would still appear normal to most. After that, he moved to the city of Sakrinil, where he lived uneventfully for several years. He then worked as a mercenary for about a year. During that time he was hired by The Vermillion Dragon. He enjoyed being part of The Vermillion Dragon, and decided to become a permanent member. "I pitea the fool!"

Havelock Vetinari Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Character Name: FenrirGender & Species: Male VortixxPowers: None, unless one counts a keen intellect and a sense of curiosity that stands a good chance of killing him. Chances are it’s already sealed his fate.Equipment: Besides a small flat in Sakrinil and a healthy stock of books and tomes there, he owns one clockwork pistol of his own design and a rapier for close combat. He knows how to use both of his weapons, but he prefers to avoid combat all together. He’s a scholar, not some sort of brutish warrior.Appearance: Fenrir is somewhat short and thin for a Vortixx, he’s still quite tall of course, but one can also tell he focuses on pursuits other than combat. His eyes are a light yellow whilst his body is colored black for the most part. His secondary color is a dark grey. He keeps himself well-groomed of course, and only after combat does he show any physical sign of the strain the weighs on him. He typically wears a set of rather nice high-class clothing. An overcoat with a vest and other such things, he also wears a monocle at times, though during combat he generally discards it.Faction: Neutral, he works for the odd scholarly institution from time to time, but of late he’s been pursuing a private project.Personality:“Fascinating…”Fenrir lives to learn. He holds that knowledge matters more than most anything else in the world. He puts complete faith in the power of science and learning and takes any insinuation that it does not hold all the answers as a personal insult. He is very intelligent, though he is often distracted by a new bit of knowledge that he can ramble on about for hours unless stopped. He is also very goal-driven, he believes he is on the verge of uncovering something big and is eager to follow up on any leads presented to him.Biography:“My history is unimportant. Now allow me to tell you of my work…”Fenrir doesn’t recall much about his early past and frankly, he doesn’t care to. He views his own past as insignificant compared to the knowledge he stands to gain. He is highly educated, that much is evident and his massive collection of books shows that his interest in knowledge is not a new phenomenon. He has made a tidy little fortune advising at various academic institutions over the years and was a popular lecturer for a time. But a chance discovery of a queer stone idol has set him off on a dangerous journey. He’s gathered together stray bits of evidence and knowledge from old and rambling tomes regarding it.He is currently seeking a book called the Black Chronicle to further enlighten himself regarding the stone idol, but considering that book was written by an insane turaga poet many years ago and most copies have vanished utterly, he has not yet been able to locate the information he needs. He has no doubt he will given time, but he is growing impatient. He’s heard rumors and whispers of an old hermit on one of the islands in possession of the book and he hopes to travel about the islands in search of this hermit quite soon.The fact that most people who’ve researched the idol and things like it in the past have ended up dead is, naturally, of little concern to him. I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You are wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Grochi, it's you. Come on man.Also, his profile is easy to read. Yours has weid spacing, and is bright red. There's only one color harder to read - yellow.I hate yellow font.Oh, and just wanted to let you and Krayzikk know, Grochi, that ship better be off the coast. People might get nervous seeing a giant lizard on top of a ship. And then call the guard. And then shoot the lizard.I gave you the long description in PM.Or maybe they'll capture him and stick him in Shimmering Palace, and rename that Dragonsreach.Hmm.-Toa Levacius Zehvor ~~~~~~~For reference, these are the profiles I made for Goodbye Innocence. I wanted it to win so bad because of how good they were. Like, awesome. I think. Maybe you'll hate them. Haters.A while back, I met a shiny demon, who demanded I write him the best RPG profile in the world. Well, I wrote up the first thing that came to my head, and it just so happened to be the best profile in the world. I can't remember it, and that profile I wrote on that fateful night didn't actually look anything like these ones. These are just tributes to the greatest profile in the world."How did I end up here? Let me answer your question with a question to myself and a long speech – what makes a hero? It's a secret. Nah, but seriously – what makes you a hero is being heroic. It's charging into battle not to satisfy your bloodlust or to prove yourself, but because you know you're doing what's right. You're willing to give your life to protect others. A long time ago, I thought it was giving them a strong ruler. For a while, I didn't even consider it. But then, travelling across the universe, I realized the truth behind being a hero. Behind being a Toa. It's not following a Code, or living on an island fighting Rahi. It's about accepting a call. As it turns out, my most recent calling was to annoy the Brotherhood of Makuta with really sharp protosteel weapons. So yeah, that's how I got here. And because our cause is right, we're getting out." – Levacius the Griffon Name: Levacius the GriffonGender: MaleSpecies: Toa of LightningAllegiance: EscapeeDescription: Levacius is a Toa of slightly above average height. His armor is white, though a large amount of damaged caused by shadow attacks have left dark scars across it, and many signs of battle damage can be seen. He wears a grey Kanohi Hau that appears to be badly damaged. His eyes are orange.Mask: His Mask was originally a very powerful mask called the Kanohi Reh that granted numerous abilities. The massive amounts of damage it has taken in combat have left it with the balance and sight abilities of the Mask of Sensory Aptitude.Weapons: Levacius is possession of two Electro Chute Blades that were taken from the Brotherhood soldier in charge of guarding his prison. One is modeled as a longsword (the V32 edition), the other as a shortsword (the V33).Powers: Of all Toa of Lightning in the Matoran Universe, Levacius may be the most adept at the use of his abilities. The strongest and most draining of his powers he calls Disintegrate, which can be summarized as him draining the electrons directly from a solid object as if were absorbing electricity, thus destroying it completely.Abilities: Levacius is also quite physically adept, and a natural leader and tactician. He isn't much stronger than is average, though, and while he doesn't tire easily, he's not much one for taking pain, preferring to deal it with his speed. He also has decent mental training, and can keep some things hidden.History: (Age ~ 87,000 Years) Levacius began his life in the grand city of Metru-Nui, where he acted as a Matoran scientist and a student in Ga-Metru. Needless to say, he tired of the boring life and was recruited into Pridaks armies in the League of Six Kingdoms, where he rose to be chief scientist (not that they had very advanced sciences at that point). During his observations of Rahi activity, he noted that most were scheduled to die on one day – the same day – based on their structure. He realized that was the same day the League was going to attack Metru-Nui. Rather than get himself killed suggesting that the Brotherhoods armies could defeat them there, he fled at once, to the Northern Continent and the village of Targon.The young Matoran made his home there, learning combat from a Turaga who had once been a Toa, and acting as a hunter in the village. Soon, however, the remaining soldiers of the disbanded League swept over the land, attempting to claim a new life for themselves – that new life being the conquest of the Continent, with the former generals now against each other. The Continent turned into a warzone the likes of which had never been seen before. Levacius and many others with him were enlisted into the militia of the current barony of Targon.What happened during those wars could be scribed into a book. During this time, Levacius claimed the Toa Stone from the fortress of a rogue Toa who had been slain by mercenary Steltians in their employ, along with his Great Mask. With both, he became a Toa of Lightning, and like his predecessor (who had planned to sell the stone for a hefty sum) never accepted the Toa Code.Levacius rose to become a rightfully feared warlord, and was known as the Marquis of Targon Rock, the mountain near his home where he made his fortress. His troops eventually conquered over two thirds of the continent until the Brotherhood of Makuta, fearing another League would rise, utterly crushed his most loyal forces at the command of Makuta Gorsat.The Lightning Toa escaped, but made a problem of himself by trapping his fortress as the Rahkshi came. Three squads of the creatures were utterly annihilated, along with the entire mountain and all of the knowledge contained within its walls. Levacius vanished with the aid of loyalists, never to be heard from again.Around that time, approximately 65,000 years BGC a rogue warrior known as the Griffon showed up on Stelt as a hired on guard. So it was at first, until the guard eventually rose to being the captain of his own ship, The Griffon. The Griffon ended up becoming a notorious smuggler and incredibly elusive to catch. His ship, one of the fastest there was, went through many iterations until finally becoming what he would call the fastest in the universe.Many other strong, independent beings flocked to the Griffon, as his operations led to uncharted lands and unseen places as often as they did to simply stealing from a rich merchant. During this time, he began writing a book chronicling the Matoran Universe and all he had seen within. This grew to two, then three, and finally an entire series devoted to the many wonders of the universe they lived in.At some point after the Great Cataclysm, he mysteriously vanished from the face of the universe once more. He appeared less than a year latter with quite a story about slavers and others, and reunited with the rest of his crew for a number of final voyages before the war that soon struck.When the Makuta first began their onslaught of the universe following their throwing away of the plan, he and his crew were some of the first to go against them. Before the ships capture, he had succeeded in killing off a couple members of the original Brotherhood with those in his company, and hordes of lesser servants. Even after Daxia fell, the ship was still sailing over the seas of the Matoran Universe. Fear led to one of the Matoran they assisted betraying them to the Brotherhood, and their eventual capture.Many members of the team who captured him wanted him dead. A number of the Makuta had even had issues caused by the Griffon in the past, especially after he turned his crew against the Brotherhood. Gorsat in particular wanted to rip him to shreds for the ancient embarrassment, upon finding who he was. If one is to believe him, he was tossed on the floors of Destral and defied the collective Brotherhood. Of course, his tall tales are almost as common as true events (sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, of course).Whatever happened, he and his most trusted lieutenants were sent to Karzahni and imprisoned in the prison facility. For years, Levacius planned his escape, but constant mental barrages by their jailors kept him from succeeding. When the explosion occurred, the momentary confusion was what he had waited for years for. He disintegrated the bars holding him and the other prisoners in the cells with him back, and made a desperate run out of there.He shows no favor to either of the Escapee leaders, believing himself the best suited to be in charge thanks to his experience. So far, he has made no actual moves in a bid for leadership, but that may change very soon."How was I captured? Unlike my partner here, I'll keep this short and down here on the real world. We were captured because we did what nobody else could do, and we lasted so long because nobody expected a small group of Toa and miscellaneous could challenge the might of the Brotherhood. Unfortunately, they were right. That's why I'm here. And I wouldn't have it any other way." – Xaiara Ialt'Mias Name: Xaiara Ialt'MiasGender: FemaleSpecies: Ce-ToaAllegiance: EscapeesDescription: Xaiara stands at below average height, and has an unusually low amount of organic mass. Her natural armoring is a shade of bluish black, with an exceedingly metallic glint on the upper arms, thighs, and chest, becoming mixed with swirling silver center towards the centers of these regions. Her mask's appearance is a hybrid of two others; a Kualsi above and a Kaukau below. There are a few differences, such as it folding out further along the side, but they are not as noticeable. It appears as her armor with the swirling silver, though the blue is more prevalent than the black.Mask: Great Mask of IntangibilityWeapons: Xaiara uses no weapons, as she could not bring her weapons with her into that state.Powers: Elemental Powers of Psionics. Her specialization is in telepathy, and she can send her mind out over incredibly long distances. She also constantly reads the surface thoughts of those around her, and is able to operate this way even in large crowds, to the point of picking out individual beings or sifting for certain ideas being brought up.Abilities: Xaiara is a master of unarmed, unarmored combat, and can fare better fighting in that way than most can using weapons. She is immune to poison.History: (Age ~ 73,000 Years) Xaiara hails from the Southern Continent, where she resided in the village of Ce-Koro with others of her elemental affinity. When she was only a mere Matoran, she was recognized almost immediately as one destined to become a Toa, and placed through rigorous physical and mental training. She was sent out of her village often to observe others and learn from them, and resided for a couple centuries in a monastery far across the Continent, where she spent most of her time studying with the monks, and the rest learning advanced unarmed combat maneuvers.Eventually, the time came, and Xaiara was sent back home to undergo the ceremony that would conclude with her being granted the status of Toa. However, during her transportation 67,650 BGC, she was captured by a team of mercenaries working for a mysterious organization created to wipe out all potential Toa before they could be a threat to them.Xaiara was imprisoned for many centuries more, using her meditative training to keep herself functional even though the guards provided but a fraction of the required nutrition. Indeed, many attempts to poison her were made, but her training allowed her to fend it off, and continue living even after other prisoners died in mere months. Finally, she was released, and asked to join the organization.It proved to be a mistake right off the bat. On her very first mission, she dispatched her 'companion' (read: guard) by snapping the beings neck, and made her way back to her home in Ce-Koro. The seers there had already known of her coming, and made the way easy for her.It was thus that in 67,000 BGC that Xaiara became a Toa of Psionics, appointed with many others to continue her training in the village and eventually venture out into the world to see what her powers could be used to do.Xaiara eventually came into contact with the renegade pirate known as "The Griffon". She became the administrative assistant on his ship after many years of acting onboard, often taking care of the duties of mathematician and treasurer and keeping track of their resources and allies. Many times she was forced to correct his actions. About 50,000 AGC, the Griffon nearly got himself killed in the process of saving her from a swarm of Nui-Kopen trained to resist psionics abilities. He gave his name as Levacius, a former warlord on the Northern Continent, and the two became almost inseparable, and a nearly unstoppable duo in combat.In the recent years before their capture, Xaiara was still onboard the ship and doing perfectly well. Her history was about the same as Levacius', though she was treated as merely another lieutenant rather than as the major threat that he was. She was kept chained with armbands that restricted both her psionic powers and her ability to use her mask and forced to work like everyone else. When the explosion went off, another prisoner shattered her bonds with his iron powers, and she was able to free the group with ease.On the surface world, she is now the last of Levacius' former lieutenants, the others still imprisoned or having died in the escape; which is the better fate, they do not know. If Levacius were to make a bid for leadership of the Escapees, she would be the first person to side with him, until the bitter end."Evil cannot be destroyed. – Anonymous Name: SuicavelGender: MaleSpecies: Toa (Mutated & Undead)Allegiance: Brotherhood of Makuta (Tentatively)Description: Suicavel is terrible to behold, especially knowing that he was once a Toa. His body from the waist up is mostly the same as a normal Toa, with jet black armor that the darkness surrounding him seems to cling to. Then you reach what sits on his neck, which appears to be that of a fully closed Rahkshi head thanks to his mutated facial structure and the mask fitted for it. Two crimson orbs hover in his eye sockets. He has four legs rather than two, and they end with terrible, clawed feet. The organic protodermis in his body is rotting, giving him a foul stench.Mask: Suicavel wears a powerless, modified Kanohi. His face is incapable of wearing any others, and his damaged mind cannot focus enough to gather the concentration for a mask.Weapons: Suicavel fights using a terrible weapon that appears as a Spetum spear with an extended shaft and blades on both ends. The blades are crafted of what appears to be obsidian. He also has clawed hands capable of shredding through armor.Powers: Elemental Powers of Shadow. Suicavel has a number of new abilities to compensate for his loss of mask. The first is that with a touch, he can cause any of the effects that would be had by an Avsa. The second is that he can animate fresh and relatively intact bodies, such as those he slays by draining their life – animated beings are forced to do as he commands, and possess no non-physical powers. Without commands, they simply wander on their own in search of enemies to kill, hunting in packs like wild Rahi. The third is that he can see perfectly well in all darkness. Fourth and finally, his mere presence inspires fear in weak-willed beings, such as Matoran workers and other non-combatants.Abilities: Suicavel is no longer alive, being animated to unlife by Brotherhood experiments. He is immune to diseases or poisons and resistant to both cold and mental attacks.Weaknesses: Suicavel is unable to survive in sunlight, and its touch renders him completely powerless and, over extended time, could kill him. This can be alleviated by cloaking himself in darkness, but the sun is capable of eating away at what he creates elementally, making his only a temporary shelter. He is even more vulnerable to light than other Toa of Shadow are, and particular bright lights, even non-elemental ones, are able to drive him away for at least a short while. He also needs to absorb the full life force of at least one living being every 24 hours in order to hold his own spirit to the world.History: (Age ~ 40,000 Years) Suicavel has a history going into ancient history, but he has no memory of it – and nobody else really cares, so what happened in the past tens of thousands of years ago is completely irrelevant and pointless. What matters is this – he was a Toa of Ice captured by the Brotherhood and heavily mutated into the terrible, almost alien form he now possesses. He escaped his captivity and went into hiding. At some point, his head was cut off and his body and mask utterly destroyed.Cue the Brotherhood discovering his resting place and ruined corpse while going on their rampage across the universe. The abomination was interesting to them, and still contained traces of what was used in the previous experimentations.Eventually, they found one other thing – the body was still partially alive, even without the head, but could not function properly without a brain and was slowly dying. The spirit of Suicavel was twisted to the point that it could survive even without a body, but was still bound to it.The scientist working on him made use of Fast Healing Kraata of the highest power to regenerate the beings head, but before they did anything else, removed the heart and other essential organs. Once the spirit was in full power animating the body, they strengthened it even further with their psychic powers and brought it to life.As it happens, Bitil was the Makuta in charge of the full operation that resulted in a walking, mostly skeletal corpse with numerous powers. He brought his newly created pet, which required the life energies of other living beings in order to hold itself to the physical plane, along with him to Karzahni.Suicavel hates all life, including the Makuta, and seeks to destroy it. He is indiscriminate in who he kills when he goes too long without draining life energy, but while sated usually behaves himself and stays away from Brotherhood agents bearing that mark – unless they're alone or in groups small enough to dispatch. He was released into the wilds by the Brotherhood when the first prisoners escaped, and is actively hunting them down.During the day, Suicavel keeps to the jungles (where he is ignored by most Rahi due to being pretty much inedible) and occasionally to the mountain caves. His undead pets are usually found around him, but others are out in the jungle on their own. Overall, they currently total about two dozen.It is intimidation that keeps him working for the Brothehood; any force of evil able to cow him would have his allegiance, but it would be one with the same amount of loyalty. Given half the chance, he would flee the island and wreak havoc where the Brotherhood could not control him."Come closer, mortal. Together, you and me, we can escape this island trap. I was brought here by… some mistakes I made, angering a member of the Brotherhood. No, no, I cannot tell you everything about me. Really, I don't even know what I did. I don't remember. But it was important, whatever it was. I'm a genie without a bottle, and that bottle is impossible to rub. It's been shattered, scattered. But come, mortal. Yield your soul to me, so that we may join together and leave this place." – KarilelName: KarilelGender: MaleSpecies: Ba-Toa (Spirit)Allegiance: IndependentDescription: Karilel appears to be a semi-substantial, ethereal figure. His form is distorted, and seems to constantly be shifting. He appears to be clad in heavy plate armor covered in spikes, with a Kanohi Hau, and has a large, flowing cloak that seems to move in the wind even when none is present. He has no armor on his arms except for at the shoulder and just below and his gauntlet clad hands; on his right arm, there is no arm present at all, just floating armor.Mask: No mask powers, but he appears to wear a Kanohi Hau in his spirit form.Weapons: While in material form, or in spirit form fighting an Iden-user, Karilel can manifest two war-axes made of spectral energy, and wields them with deadly effectiveness; see below for more information on thme.Powers : Karilel has two forms, and his powers are quite different in both of them. For this reason, he has been given two special categories underneath.---- Powers (Spirit Form): In Spirit Form, Karilel becomes immune to most physical attacks. Weapons charged with elemental energy are able to disperse him temporarily and cause great pain, but cannot permanently destroy him more than hitting water with a stick can destroy it. He can be targeted by psionics attacks, however, though he has powerful mental defenses. He can also be targeted by any life draining attack methods; the Felnas could disrupt his bond to the material world, and destroy him. In this state, he can detect powerful psionic beings, and speaks using telepathy. He can see through all forms of illusions and invisibility, and can communicate with Iden users. He is completely intangible, and can move through physical forms, or become completely invisible. He can travel incredibly fast in this state, at the level of a Kanohi Kakama, because he is merely floating. He is never detectable by anything other than sight. He cannot physically interact with the world in any way while in this state, and can only harm users of the Kanohi Iden while the mask is active. He can attempt to possess a corpse, either animated or deceased. If he can find a willing host, he can possess them as well.---- Powers (Material Form): When Karilel possesses a dead body, he gains the ability to communicate with the outside world, and can materialize two war axes made of spectral energy (real enough to kill, but not real enough to be affected by any armor). The body becomes stronger and faster, but nothing else is gained. If the body is destroyed, he is banished for a full week. Alternatively, he can possess an animated corpse, in which case he gains all of the above and access to his elemental powers. If the body has a mask, he can use its power. Destruction in his form merely ejects him from the body, with no banishment. Finally, he can possess a willing host. This grants him control of the hosts body and all of their powers, along with his own gravity abilities. However, the host must have a strong will; otherwise, it is immediate death for both. The host can attempt to take back control whenever, but the longer they wait, the harder it is – eventually, Karilel would take full control, and the hosts powers would be lost. Their form would change to his over extended time, an ebon armored Toa. The would be resurrected.Abilities: Karilel is a dangerous adversary in melee combat, wielding his two weapons with grace and efficiency. He isn't too shabby with his powers, when he has them. He has an understanding of most languages used in the Matoran universe in their written forms.History: (Age ~ 100,000 Years) Karilel is an ancient Toa from the past long forgotten – and best forgotten. He was within at least the first 50 or so of the bunch brought into existence, and even then was a foul tempered brute that preferred to force things into happening rather than letting them take their course. Years gave him wisdom, and wisdom let him see the error in his ways – if he wanted things to happen, he had to take his time, and be prepared for long waits in certain situations. He also realized he didn't want to follow the Toa code and do things Toa were forced to do.When he reached the Southern Continent, he began studying in libraries and travelling to new locations and cities, learning about the different species and about the universe as it unfolded. He also met another Toa, a powerful Plant Life user, who shared his ideology, and possessed powers greater than any he had seen before as far as mastery over her element. Until the day he died.Karilel wore a Mask of Spirit, the Kanohi Iden. Before he died, he ejected his spirit from his body, hoping to play dead. It didn't work, and that would have been the end right there if his death hadn't come from a psionics rending his mind apart. His psych was ripped from his body, rather forcefully, and barely collected together by the rest of his spirit. His accomplice was rather quick with using her Mask of Reanimation to bring him, and the Toa of Psionics responsible (now with vines wrapping through his skull), into unlife. Immediately, he found he could possess his body, and retained his powers in the form.They travelled to a small island in the south after many years, long after the fall of the League of Six Kingdoms. Rather than partners, though, he was now a second-in-command, relying on her for his existence. Despite their well planned siege of the nearby village, they were bested by the inhabitants, and the unexpected use of a Nova blast by one of the locals.His partner was slain; he, on the other hand, was not. Over the many tens of thousands of years he waited, he grew stronger and stronger, and found he could take over corpses, animated or not, without assistance. He was free to wander the universe.How much it must have disappointed him when he accidentally upset a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta, and was captured in a bizarre device powered by psychic energy. His actions, whatever they were, led to him being placed on Karzahni, where he would have remained as a trophy in its halls if it hadn't been for the entire room being destroyed. The vessel that contained him was shattered, and he was set free.Unfortunately, that is not completely true. The vessels psychic energy remained, bonded to him and to some extent the Makuta base, where the shattered pieces of the vessel remain in the destroyed area and some trashed. He is bound to the island in this way, being unable to go more than 50 Kio beyond unless he gains a new body.

Wade. Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wait, are Skakdi and Zamor Sphere Launchers allowed in this RPG?So I've got a nasty psychopath who's angry at the world and is going to take action (when I come back). Anyone feel like joining him / interacting with him? Start off small, band of criminals and grow bigger with time and through our actions maybe? If anyone's interested, pm me.As for my other characters, I'll probably have 'em up soon and hop into other people's plots when I can.

Havelock Vetinari Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Heh. I've got a scholar who's in way over his head and has no idea just how much danger he's in.Anyone interested in making sure he doesn't have an..."accident"? Edited July 3, 2012 by Basilisk I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You are wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
