Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Arco is located in the dungeons of Castle Sakrinil.He was caught for assault and holding somebody hostage, so he would be two floors beneath the surface. As a Steltian, his prison would be one towards the end of the walkway. Behind him would be nothing but solid stone, to the sides nothing but solid stone about three feet thick. In fact, the only place that isn't solid stone is the gate, which is crafted from reinforced metallic protodermis bars of 3" thickness. The bars rise vertically from the floor to the ceiling, and extend about 6" underground and 6" up. There is a 4" gap between each one, allowing him to extend about one quarter of his arm out.At the end of the hall is a 'T'. On the side of the upper part of the 'T' facing towards the cells are levers to raise the gating on each of the cells.The security is tight. There's dozens of guards working in the prisons at any time. None are willing to help prisoners. Morvalk runs a tight operation, and he makes sure to segregate based on gender to keep any potential chance of attraction (not that it really matters with a male Steltian). A Matoran goes on patrol down the hall occasionally to check if anything is wrong (like, Shawshank Redemption or Count of Monte Cristo). He's used to prisoners trying to grab at him as a hostage, and keeps a blade ready at all times. Killing a guard would be a bad idea anyways, since it just gets you moved to higher security with worse food.The room is actually well lit, not for the prisoners advantage, but so somebody doesn't lurk in the shadows to get at the guards. It is illuminated by lightstones in the ceiling. There is a single roll of Rahi hides used for sleeping, but nothing else. You have no weapons, equipment, anything else. Matoran and Turaga are the only beings allowed to have Kanohi, and Turaga are not allowed to hold ones with power.Food is delivered by the guard every six hours in small amounts. It's not the worst in the world, but it's only barely enough to keep you alive. This isn't the US prison system, and the government of Yheyn actually has a budget they're keeping to. The logic behind the four portions is to keep the prisoner from ever feeling full, but instead always being slightly hungry. It is delivered with a metal dish, small enough to fit through the bars. It's stacked up and mashed together into a pile.And if anybody objects to how complex the dungeon is, keep in mind that they did take hundreds of years working on this castle. And guards don't much like getting killed in breakouts.-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...

I keep thinking it hasn't been that long, for some reason. - Gremost was the first person from the Council on Yheyn, and he was alone for about two thousand years. They've been around at least.... ooh...Around 13,000 years. By the 10,000 years mark, it would have been only a dozen or so members. That would make your character one of the first Toa to be a Council member on Yheyn, which would explain the quite high rank. Not quite as old and experienced as Sorlan - or as mellow, if she's still looking to adventure - but still higher up. Most of the other Toa from that time are Turaga by now, though, having found their destiny and fulfilled it. Guess your character still needs to to so, hmm?-Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited August 11, 2012 by 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...

otter Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 @Lev:Cotan is relatively new, but I still think of him being rather high up, just under Sorlan, pretty much, due to his particular job...though he may be separate from the normal ranks due to that. profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 @ Turtleman; I will be. I'm going to be gone for most of the day, so use it to plan your escape right. If you're desperate to try something, though, then Grochi can handle it. And he's a lot less merciful than I am, so that won't end well.@ Grochi; Don't kill him, Grochi. And Cotan wouldn't have a higher rank in the Council than anybody else just because of his job. Morvalk and Elain are both high ranking officers in the Southern Alliance, but their position in the Toa Council isn't that high (they're both very well trained and powerful, though; there's also some dissonance, with Elain having the more important job and higher rank in the Alliance and Council, while Morvalk is the more feared and perhaps more powerful - a guy whose appearance was based on Garland from Final Fantasy is bound to be one scary dude).@ Burnmad; The McGuffin decides the fate of the world, Burnmad.

otter Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 What? No killing?...Okay...And true, though I also mentioned that the person he was trained under was relatively high up before Cotan took his place, and as well, I can't really see many of the lower-ranking Toa being as wealthy as Cotan is supposed to be.Small cottage on the outskirts of Sakrinil or not. : P profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 @ Grochi; Vamden is one of the richest Toa in the Alliance. Sorlan could still magnetically grapple him and throw him halfway across the city in a fight, and if Vamdens skills were applied to the Council, he would still be a rank or two lower.Or, at least, that's what they want you to think.Also, @ Turtleman, the guards aren't going to give you the heimlich maneuver. And they can tell if somebody is faking choking. They're not stupid. He also holds his knife so he can't have it taken from him. It's not that easy.-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...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Can I get out for good behavior?Not before the RPG is over. Not after trying to break out.The best you can hope is that the Torrent gets the Legion Scepter and tries for world domination.Of note, the Torrent should try to kidnap a Sage for information and then find their way to NIbar. Then the Torrent, Quorvex Crew, and numerous Rebellion NPCs can all engage in a massive, epic three-way battle in Overlook Courthouse.Just saying.-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...

Tafu Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Word of advice. This isn't your schoolwork or Microsoft Word. You don't need to change the font size to 12. You can just leave it as the default 14 so that we can can read it. Nobody likes to strain their eyes by looking at small text or yellow text. Best keep both in mind.When you mention that, I would like to point out that Microsoft Word and BZP's posting system (showcasing small knowledge of jargon there) don't like to play with each other. For whatever reason, the text will drastically change when pasting something from Word to BZP and vice-versa. So instead of this:TextTextTextFrom Word you get this:TextTextTextThis is why you'll see some odd font and size choices from myself and possibly some other members as we're trying to find an acceptable combination as BZP doesn't exactly tell you what the defaults are. On a related note Lev; if you're straining your eyes to read size 12 font, you have a serious problem and should really have your eyes checked. ---Anyway, the list of characters for Quorvex's group appears to be: Quorvex (me), Krash (Zakaro), Tanika (Taka), Yasoth (Darkon), Dralack (Emissary), Cadrhon (Smooth Jazz), and possibly Kitala (Burnmad), and Lalar (Constructman). Eight in total... I think thats enough. At this rate we could actually register a faction with a few more characters, although I don't there will be enough time for that. Credits: Xanis"Don't Panic."

Evex_Wolfwing Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 So, where is Toa Song? I don't believe I've seen an IC for that character for a while. 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...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Today's Lesson - Personality. Our victim will be Burnmad and his character Artorre.What did Artorre do in the recent scenario? Let them fight it out and choose the stronger side to be the ones he aligned himself with for his own ulterior motives, letting the group who had somewhat depended on him siding with them suffer avoidable casualties. Personality: Artorre is a kind, caring person, although is very dedicated to keeping the peace by any means necessary. Besides that, he's very adventurous, and enjoys discovering things.Well, so far Salvinn has been asking the most questions. Artorre has showed a limited desire to learn about the culture of the island, other than the laws so he doesn't get in trouble. He hasn't attempted to urge them onto the city so he can discover a new place, so not that adventurous. Just when it suits him, maybe? Kind and caring, but he was willing to let people fight in a potentially lethal battle without attempting to give any aid. He made no attempt to keep the peace, when he could have easily used fire powers to send the enemy group away the moment the fight started and make sure nobody suffered losses.Dark Side Points Gained.~~~~I'm not going to pick on anyone over it. Sometimes you know what a character behaves like, but you might want to change things later as you reshape their behavior. Some characters have a few traits very contradictory to their alignment. But just remember that you do need to remember what their personality is and try to stay true t it no matter what.If your character is, for example, supposed to be incredibly brave and reckless and you run away from every fight you see... no. If they're a coward, they shouldn't be out stalking the streets of Sakrinil looking for somebody to murder. If they're a cold and intellectual strategist who dislikes having to fight, they shouldn't be charging into battle, they should be staying to the back giving orders and keeping themselves out of the fray if possible.Of course, nobody is perfect. I'm guilty of breaking character a few times to save their necks, especially with ones that had poorly developed personalities to begin with. Just want to clear that up so nobody makes accusations, because I beat you to it.-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...
