Welcome to Gaia! ::

Link to the RP thread.

Just thought of a fun side-thing for us to do. I just listened to this song and found a translation of the lyrics, and it really speaks to me of the fragile state my character is in. I was thinking we could put up songs that we feel describe how our characters are right now, and then put up another based on how we are aiming for them to be when they are changed by the events of the story. It would preferably be something bold and emotional like the song I just put up, and could be in any language, so long as a translation of the lyrics is put up as well so we can understand the emotion of it.

For example:

Right now, and from the beginning of the RP, Gio has had these kinds of underlying feelings: Re:Birth by Acid Black Cherry
The song is in Japanese, so here is the translation.

But, by the end, I want him to be more like: It's Not My Time by Three Doors Down.

This thread would also be a good place for general chat between all of us, and a place for all of us to discuss, debate, vote, and plan plot points.

This is really the best RP I have ever had, you guys, and I hope we can see it to fruition. You all are great roleplayers and your characters are amazing. I feel lucky to have gotten all of the right people for this story. Also, I may at some point decide to create a full novelization of our roleplay, if I can muster up the motivation, so I'll let you all know if I make any progress on that. You all can be my review board.

((Chat besides the RP is also perfectly fine, if we all want to discuss personal interests and such.))

Hey there. Im new to the rp. I really like it a lot. Im still a little confused but hope i can catch up. Where exactly is everyone in the rp now? im having some trouble posting.

Hi everyone! : D
I'll throw it out there now that I love this RP.
I'm really excited about it. and I don't think it'll die either, so that makes me especially happy.
maybe sometime in the future of the RP she'll stop being so hostile....I'm not sure though
but being so ridiculously emotional and mean is turning out to be fun to write XD
You guys are rad.
Peace >

So, does anyone have any ideas for the first step in their adventure together? Miya should probably mention that their primary goal should be gathering all the shards of the Fate Crystal, but that would be once the whole thing between Jolyre and the Dragoni brothers is done.

In terms of the first enemy, I was thinking of it being the Black Hand group that Dreiyan introduced from Metrino. A criminal syndicate/organization of cyborgs would be an excellent plot device until we can introduce something else to keep it going.

If anyone else has an idea, I'd be welcome to hear it, since I would definitely prefer to have the Black Hand as a later enemy, since they seem to be more qualified as a later foe than a first. But, if we have nothing else to go with, that's what we can use.

I hope everyone voices an opinion on this, that way nobody's thoughts are neglected.

Yeah, I'll pm you Draconia to work out what Miya could tell/reveal to the group for when the time comes.

As far as the first enemy, the Black Hand group would probably be a nice start. Perhaps we can have each character introduce an enemy for the group when the time comes. It would be a nice way to get out character background info. smile

More than you know, and in a manner you cannot yet fathom. twisted Corrupted, yes, I'll admit to that, but how they are corrupted and to what extent will be my little secret. Though you, Lythe, will be privy to some of it earlier than the rest, due to being a member of Glorion Crystalis, and same to Denyala, due to her connections. Everyone else, enjoy the show when it comes about.

I already know exactly what I'm going to do for an enemy, but that's towards the very end of the story. But if we are going to be having every character bring in an enemy, then it would make sense to start with Tylem, so do you have any ideas, Claided?

Fun fact! Harrier is my perception of Mercedes Lackey's Harrier Gillain; Slekin swords, attitude, climate and all. He was my favorite character out of the series (they are really good books) and when I read about Tylem I was thinking 'That's him!'
Alane is a younger version of my own dear-to-heart assassin time weaver, while she was still daring enough to tackle a dragon. I figured that she would be the perfect companion to Harrier, and an opposite in all style, and a fun addition to the crew.

I want Alane to go from: Paint the Seconds- Chevelle
A person wanting to change into something right now so she can get it right for later; impatient for it to happen and cocky about it.

To-Ready to Fall- Rise Against
Freer and willing to give it all, realizing what she has is good enough and that far worse can happen when you're alone.

I'm pretty sure Harrier will stay most of the same throughout; having already seen a lot of things. But if if comes to it I'll change his theme. Right now he's Palladio; strong and bold, but musical and tranquil.
