Master_Archon Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I say no. Too many people already want to find the dragon and be apart of the main plot. Plus it would create more managerial duties for yourself. Having throwbacks and creating a single (or pair) spy for the group to track the Purge seems good enough for the job, and could help to open up plot issues later (such as the spy(s) being caught, or converting, etc. Meaning link and knowledge of Purge gone, or worse, the Purge now has info on us, etc.).

MsFicwriter Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Excellent. As the threadmaster, I choose to travel with the Purge, because what's an evil army without somebody trying to get inside their head? I'll need an ally, though...

Master_Archon Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 . . . . . . . . . . . . Then who's going to lead us and carry the plot forward with the travelers if your character's the spy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkonium Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Wouldn't it also work for you to create a second character, and have one go with each group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsFicwriter Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 You're right. By default, as well as Per'dra, I'll also be roleplaying V'toryv, the Ultimate Wyrm. Since she does need help against the Purge, I'll periodically give her visions, and even have V'toryv attempt to induce them in others if she's in absolutely dire straits. As for the Purge itself...hmm...I'll roleplay their commander, a general of sorts who obeys an unstoppable force called the Amber Hand: the will of Sazhen's creator god. Of course, who's to say if s/he's right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDR Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I made a character bio for the Purge Officer. NAME: Faa'sk Haek Purge pseudonym: Daugon ~ Military Commandre GENDER: Male AGE: 823 SPECIES: Dark Elf CLASS/COMBAT ROLE: Captain/Officer/Mage/Swordsman APPEARANCE: Short, white hair. 'Glowing' golden eyes, and a moderate build. WEAPONS: Knife, and a serrated longsword. ARMOR: Black cloak with armor underneath it. STRENGTHS: Swordsmanship, power within the Purge, magic. WEAKNESSES: I'm sorry, the word "weakness" does not appear in the Purge's dictionary. BACKSTORY: A Purge Officer, Faa'sk is racist against humanity and is a skilled swordsman and mage. He often studied the darker arts, and imbued it onto his long, serrated sword. His unwavering devotion and loyalty to the Purge, as well as his magic, has made him a feared adversary. He hired multiple human mercenaries to kill Tael As'yere, but none of them succeeded. He is also, the 'second in command', of the Purge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Archon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 ((I fixed it. And was I, 'the rude man from across the room', even though I'm sitting close by?)) Thank you for fixing it. Why, yes, you are the 'rude man from across the room'. I could only assume that because your character was sitting next to Emi, that he was at a table, because Shana never made it very clear where her character was sitting, only that she was staring a the corner wall of the tavern. Through this I assumed that she was at a table, because why else would a character so antisocial sit at such a social setting as a bar? Plus there are two other people - Vakarr and Tegan - sitting next to her, and somehow you are too, yet at the bar also, so how can three people sit next to one person? Only at a table, so I just thought you'd made a mistake about where your character was and said he was across the room at Emi's table, and not the bar with Vhâl-mohn-Vhân, Per'dra, and Rhys *shrug* . Hope that enlightens you as to why I said such as I did. We good my málo [Friend - Literal translation]!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Archon Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Edit: Forgot to mention, MsFicwriter has ordained me as the controller of the Purge Leader - Per my request and her permission - this is his Character Sheet....Yay! So no freaking out, 'kay! NAME(S): Purge pseudonym: Poteryannyĭ ~ Lost Ancient name: Tökemik ~ Strong Bone Old Elven name: Rîfrhaw ~ Barkflesh Dragon name: Rok Wo'Naak Dov ~ He Who Eats Dragon(s) GENDER: Male AGE: Unknown SPECIES: Undead CLASS: Archetype(s): Warrior/Elementalist/Mage Subset: Arcane Warrior COMBAT ROLE: Champion PROFESSION: Leader/General APPEARANCE: "Face": Linkism WEAPONS: Hull Scythe; Ancient Longsword; Magic ARMOR: Attire: Linkism STRENGTHS: Amazingly strong, with endurance and durability belying his appearance, as well as being surprisingly agile and dextrous. Unknown ages of fighting has given him the mind of a tactical and strategic genius. Ruthless! WEAKNESSES: What weakness? (Edit: ...My mistake - PRIMARY - Antagonists gotta be tough.....Word....) BACKSTORY: - Bio will come, for now, enjoy the mystery and awe of this terror that we now face! Poteryannyĭ, a name formed from the dialect of the race of Man's term for the Great Wyrm. The 'Paragon' of the Purge, it's sole leader, and ultimate founder, 'HE' is very well the most unfathomable, and most feared, being the races of Sazhen have come to know, though by rights, few actually know who, or even what he is. None but the oldest of the old beings of the world know him for what he is, and truly there are few of those left; he is not Elven, nor is he of the Elder races, and is most certainly not of the race of Man, no, he is far older than the race of Man. His existence is known in many forms, from songs and poems, to fables and lore, for many deeds of many of the great heroes of myth and legend are tied to his adventures, one might say they are the telling of his very own life. Don't believe? You don't have to if you don't want, but it doesn't stop it from being true. The fable of Rîfrhaw, the Barkflesh, great Elven lord and hero, the slayer of the Umbracolossi who'd marched out of the very sea from the unknown dark lands on the other side of the world. The poem of Nalahjrl, said to be the great ice giant of the far north, come down to the lesser frozen lands of the Northmen before they had ever existed, his breath freezing from his power and own great frigid body; said to be the reason for the Northmen's very existence. From the sculpted tales on the stone walls of the Dwarves of the great paladin-builder Brúnmaðr, the olden hunting songs of Adwar of the distant Catfolk of the south, Galvei'Nus of the Gnomes, and even merry ballads of Duppel the Brewer of the Halflings are tied in with Poteryannyĭ, some more directly than others, but all of them leading back through time to him, though none truly know. And to not exclude one of the rarest, and most obscure of these, though probably the most important - the ancient Edda of Tökemik, Strong Bone, the first to have ever slain a Dragon! Not even the oldest, most well versed of the Skulds and Bards know every part of the Edda, nor verbatim, for so long has this vague tale existed, that parts have been taken out, or added, exaggerated, or deposed; it's true verses warped by time, and the telling. It has been written more than one can know, the differing versions more numerous then the various races of Sazhen. Only in scattered places - in dark keeps, the holds of Elves, catacombs of the oldest Dwarven halls, and ancient guarded huts tucked away in the darkest of lands are scraps of the most original version and verses of the Edda found, and not even the recording of these ancient truths would fill the holes in what is left in the known truths of the great verse. All that is known from who has both told and heard the Edda in what only the truest of Skuld and Bard scholars have gathered of the verse, is a general knowledge of the most basic truths of the tale: "In the first reign of the Third of creation (creation being the Ultimate) - the Elves - the Dragons, doppelchildren of the Second of creation, began discovering their power for the use of magic. (At this point many fanciful romantic verses are placed in, believed to be additions, and not truths to the Edda; latter parts are also emeritus). After that point, it takes off a few millennia later stating Dragons have spread, and for the most part peaceful, many have discovered vices, and taken hold to them, that being greed, envy, and in no small part wrath. (This is where many believe the true beginning of the Edda takes part). Many fledgling races are in existence, a village of one of them at the foot of a great range of mountains, here, they are set upon by a Dragon. Only one survives from the village, this being Tökemik. (At this point much of how Tökemik acts, reacts, and feels has been altered and re-altered so much by different tellings, that the truth of the matter is lost). At this point Tökemik has climbed the great mountains in search of the Dragon, finding it's lair; (Here the verses are again altered to a point of unknown, all that is known as truth, is that in the end, Tökemik has slain the beast, and leaves the mountains several weeks later, making him the first to kill a Dragon. By this point the Edda carries further into the telling, making out the apparent life of Tökemik coming down to his very death at the bite of a venomous snake - this point deduced as truth as it has remained unaltered for centuries)." Though the generalized telling is a poor rendition compared to any fancied-up Bard's telling, it tells the most basic, and truest story of Poteryannyĭ. Many among the followers of the Purge idolize the hero of the Edda in all it's versions, though only distantly so, none knowing that Poteryannyĭ is Tökemik, the first to ever kill a Dragon. No being on Sazhen would believe he was anyway, save maybe one. Why he has taken on this quest to 'Purge' the world is completely unknown even through all the tellings of his existence. But one thing is known, Poteryannyĭ will not stop, even if his very army of fanatics were slain around him, and he were the last, he would not stop, and none would be able to....Save maybe one.

LDR Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 ((So far, the only ones who have the speed boost necessary to escape from Paryer are Per'dra [me], Emi the Reaver [shana], Vakarr [Cyborg Ninja], Tael [LordDeathRay], and the Elf [Master_Archon].

LDR Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Last guys. Heh, every baddie needs lieutenants. NAME: Athaso Yahaz Purge pseudonym: Feredir ~ Hunter GENDER: Male AGE: 523 SPECIES: Dark Elf CLASS/COMBAT ROLE: Assassin APPEARANCE: Dark brown hooded robes. WEAPONS: Small, handheld crossbow (AC: Brotherhood crossbow). Stiletto. An assortment of elements in vials, such as: red phosphorus (flammable/explosive), beryllium (poison), liquid mercury (toxic), sulfuric acid (corrosive), and hypochlorite (oxide). ARMOR: Light sheets of armor both above and below the robes. STRENGTHS: Master of stealth, killing, and combat. WEAKNESSES: The word 'weakness' does not appear in the Purge dictionary. BACKSTORY: Athaso Yahaz is, arguably, one of the most ruthless and effective assassins in the Purge. He carries a wide assortment of harmful materials in vials, most of which he dabs small amounts in on the tips of his bows. His actions have given him the attention of Fa'ask Haek, Poteryannyĭ's apparent second-in-command. Seeing his potential, Fa'ask took Athaso under his wing, eventually becoming Fa'ask's Lieutenant. NAME: Uradus Therayn Purge pseudonym: Suiauthon ~ War-like GENDER: Male AGE: 486 SPECIES: Dark Elf CLASS/COMBAT ROLE: Shock Trooper/Heavy APPEARANCE: Black armored robes. WEAPONS: Large chained meat hook. ARMOR: Sheets of armor over black robes. STRENGTHS: Master of combat and torture. WEAKNESSES: The word 'weakness' does not appear in the Purge dictionary. BACKSTORY: Only one word could describe Uradus Therayn: ruthless. He is barbaric, even by Purge standards. He carries an over sized chained meat hook, which he uses to tear enemies apart on the battlefield. Failing that, it is a cruel interrogation tool - reflecting the personality of its user.. Fa'aak Haek made Uradus his second lieutenant, alongside Athaso Yahaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
