⟪ OOC Thread ⟫ They look, act, think, feel, and live just like us. There are no noticeable differences between us. Even they don't know they're different, or at least, not all of them do. One does. Only one knows whom the rest are. Science fanatics would call them aliens—not from this world—and religious people would call them angels. They just call themselves The Fallen. However, it has been a few millennium since they last referred to themselves as such. At first retaining the memories of their past lives was easy, but as time went on, the memories began to fade. They lost touch with their true self as each reincarnation occurred. They don't look the same. They show no signs of having powers. Their personalities may still be similar, but what truly connects them to the soul resting deep inside had rotted and withered. The Fallen were cast away during the mid-2nd century A.D. For years they did the Lord's work, but even sin and temptation can reach those of purity. The influence the Morning Star had before his fall was enough to taint the holy land. It needed a proper cleansing, and those that did not wish to repent for the actions they committed against their immortal Father were cast out. They are still immortal, but it is as punishment. There is no death—no rest—for those that have fallen. There is no salvation to be sought after. They live the lives of man, but when they die, their souls do not rest and pass on. They move immediately to a new body, a new vessel. Their physical minds have been washed of all prior knowledge. What used to be has slowly slipped from their grasps. They know not whom they are, nor will they ever. What power still remains has been suppressed so deeply within their subconscious minds that it is rendered useless, unable to be accessed. They have not heard a word from their Father in centuries. While some may still be religious, they do not know of times past. There is no repentance for the angels after their fall, just as there is no repentance for men after death. In a time of chaos and destruction, one might have the ability to bring them together again. The world is changing. War is an ever vigilant entity in our daily lives. Deaths occur in the tens of thousands. Bombings and shootings are far more frequent then of years past. Crime has increased. Sin is spreading. Marks of his reign increase more feverishly. They have been cast out, but they may also be the only ones that can help prolong his rise to power until the messiah returns to man. It is not time yet. The Rapture is not yet upon them. He needs to be stopped before growing too strong to suppress. The Fallen have a hard road ahead of them, and that's only if they are willing to believe. . . Things to know. . .

I thought it would be a decent idea for helping raise awareness of new RPs out by dropping them off here. I know we have the interest threads and the advertisements and the what are you working on now? thread, but for people that don't pay attention to any of that stuff, this could be an added way of representing.
⟵ Land of Leznaroth ⟶ ✖ IC Thread ✖ The sound of steel clashing against steel echoed throughout the forest. Battle cries rang out in every direction. Footsteps padded heavily on the ground, snapping twigs and crunching leaves. Mud flew in every direction as the wet ground was trampled upon. Blood, sweat, tears, and dirt, stained the clothes of those on the battle grounds. Their faces hardened with years of experience. The fighting never seemed to end. Their bodies grew weak with fatigue. Blasts of fire ripped through the forest, scorching the trees they hid behind. No one was safe. The battle to end all battles was soon to begin, these were just the preliminaries. Heavy breathing came from the those in combat. They were tired from all the work. They had been trying their hardest for days when the battle just seemed to continue to rage on. There would be no end. The war would recycle over and over again. Only one could remain standing—the rest must fall. There could be only one survivor, one winner. This person crowned victor—the ruler of the land. The Land of Leznaroth is a special place; full of medieval armor, monsters, and magic. It is a safe haven for all that feel they do not belong in this world. It fills the void for those that never quite belonged. Now, they have somewhere to go—to dress up and act out their dreams and fantasies. Every Sunday at 4 pm, people from all over flock to Traska Lake Park. Why? To enter the mythical world that is Leznaroth. They are greeted with the wonders that do not exist here. Ogres, trolls, elves, and beasts greet them at every turn. Wielders of might and magic alike are free to embrace who they truly are. The dawn on their costumes, dust off their weaponry, and trek to the park to stake claim to the champion title of King. Do you have what it takes to rule the land—to win the fame, the glory, the prizes, the ladies? Okay. . . So it's really not that extravagant, but the winner does get bragging rights, and a plastic crown. That's worth something, right? Everyone always likes to feel better than others--especially when it comes to sword fighting, body smashing, and throwing projectiles? Welcome to the Land of Leznaroth, where your fantasy dreams may come true. Summary ! ♦ The Land of Leznaroth is a LARPing based RolePlay. It will have a bit of an MMO feel to it, in the aspect that your characters will have two different versions of themselves. One will be their real-life self, and the other will be their in-character self. Most of the RP will take place ooc, or in real-life, as they go about their lives and also train. ♦ Then, every few in character days it will become Sunday and they will be romping around in Traska Park being whomever they wish to be. There are no restrictions on Races/Class/Weapons/etc. There will be no leveling or experience gained or any of that such. People simply get stronger through practicing and it shows when they battle. ♦ Winners in fights will be determined by a coin flip on my end. When two people engage, they will duke it out and I will PM the pair what the result will be. Those that possess magic are free to create their own spells. There is no limit on their magical knowledge, but the newer they are to the circuit, the less skilled they will be. ♦ Everything they wear and use will be homemade. So while they may imagine it to be exquisite unique and fantastical, it most likely definitely doesn't appear that way in real-life. Writing as both points of view during fights is optional. Example: Rissy cast a fire spin attack and flames engulfed the troll. (Rissy pulled a cluster or red ribbons from her pocket and threw them at the person dressed like troll. They fell to a pile at his feet.) Rules ! ♦ Please be active. It is important. ♦ Contribute. Add to the plot. Feel free to do your own thing, within reason. ♦ No god-modding. I have very simple rules in place to prevent this. Don't mess with me. If you god-mod without permission, I will bring down the mighty hammer of Jayn and ban your ass from my roleplay. I am not joking. ♦ When they are engaged in battle, I will flip a coin to see who wins. Please be creative and respectful during your fights. You can easily write a fight scene with someone without god-modding or power playing. If you need help with it, let me know. Whatever the coin toss determines will provide the winner and loser. I will PM the pair that are fighting so they can work out how their fight ends. ♦ Characters can be anywhere from 13 on up. The competition rules state that they have to be at least 13 to participate, so your character needs to be at least 13 to be in the roleplay. All non-NPCs are LARPers. ♦ One liners are allowed, only scarcely. ♦ You will be required to post every two weeks or you are out of the roleplay. I feel that is a very generous amount of time. You are expected to post more frequently than once every two weeks, but I understand things come up and can make it difficult at times. ♦ Weekdays (in the rp) require less of a demand, but when it comes to Sunday in the rp more activity will required. Every two weeks is when it will be Sunday. The days in the rp will be time skipped often depending on what's going on. If there is nothing happening a certain day, I will move it to the next. If stuff is occurring, then I will wait til it's finished and then maybe skip a day or two depending on how much time is left before the next LARPing event. ♦ Each event will last 3-4 days long. It will vary depending on activity. The more active everyone is, the more time they will be allowed to battle and whatnot. It probably will not occur often, but I might even extend it longer, depending on the situation. I am being very lenient with the posting. Don't break my heart. ♦ KH-Vids rules still apply, but I have no problem with language/violence/romance. Just keep it appropriate and tasteful. ♦ If you have questions, just ask. I don't bite much. ♦ Your characters will either work in teams or individually when at the competition. If you would like to sign up with someone(s) just let me know in your CS. There will be a spot for it. Your character will have a better chance at lasting longer if they are working in a team. If you would like to be in a group, but do not have anyone to join with, just write that you would like me to match you up. I will gladly do that after all the character sheets have been submitted. ♦ Magic is only used by Mages, Elves, and Demons. There is no limit on spell knowledge, but your character is in charge of coming up with new spells. That is how they learn. They obviously won't need tons of physical strength or stamina to accomplish things, but practicing is still important. If they wish to evade someone, then they need to work on their cardio when not competing. If they want to knock a sword out of someone's hand, they have to practice sword fighting. ♦ I reserve the right to add or subtract from these rules. I will always alert you all if I do.

She started to take responsibility as her dad ran from home as well as her mom becoming extremely sick and unable to work. She does, however, have a soft spot for those in need of a friend and someone to talk to, both in real life and in Leznaroth. ♦ Group: None as of now ♦ Group Name: None as of now ♦ Other: ▱ FULL NAME: JACK V.

Although he keeps himself laughing through his hard times, the only time he feels free is when he is LARPing. Matthew is a laid-back fun loving guy, but only tends to show it through LARPING. In the real world, he has little to no trust in anyone because of the betrayal he has faced. ♦ Group: N/A ♦ Group Name: N/A ♦ Other: Sometimes on rare occasions, Matt shows up to LARPs completely drunk/high.

Not being a Reaper, not seeing ghosts everywhere and... being normal. Yup. No ghosts here. Other than his past which he'd rather forget due to all the humiliation and wanting to have a normal highschool life... Kato is usually pretty carefree and fun. Just as long as it's a normal, everyday and relaxing life. He's often hanging out with his childhood friend, Ignelia 'Iggy' Hikauru who much to his dismay... has remained in fantasy land and doesn't let him forget about it either. When he 'was' a Reaper, he was a lot more calm, and collected, cocky, had his dark moments and was a complete badass (at least... in his head). In his spare time, he practices a lot of Kendo for school and much to his embarressment... from his previous cosplay antics is quite good with a needle and thread and is often asked to help out with random clubs like the theatre club to fix costumes and the like. ♦ Group: N/A currently... ♦ Group Name: N/A currently... ♦ Other: Having left Leznaroth behind, Kato is familiar with the other Role-Players of the group even if he's no longer a part of it. ...Well... that won't likely stay true for long.

She is rarely ever serious about anything other than 'saving the world' and fighting. Her 'Twin sister' who is sealed inside her however is the opposite. Dark, Cold, Sadistic, Serious and... Demonic. Kato Shugo, her childhood friend swears that Ignelia is either way too engrossed in her own fantasy world or is actually suffering from MPD. Iggy herself believes that Kato himself however is simply in denial and she is determined to bring him back to Leznaroth. ♦ Group: She is determined to make Kato a member of her group. ♦ Group Name: Hasn't thought of one yet. ♦ Full Name: Akira Kyudo ♦Nickname: Aki ♦ Title: The Seeker of Lost Truth ♦ Appearance: (click)/(click) ♦ Fantasy Appearance: (click) ♦ Age: 16 ♦ Race: Human/Sage ♦ Class: Range Master ♦ Weapon: Energy Bow ♦ Occupation:Student ♦ Personality: Withdrawn and quiet to most people, Akira is looked at with a sense of admiration in school. A straight A+ student and a brilliant athlete when outside the classroom, Akira emits and air of mystery about her which makes her the envy of a few of her classmates and the bane of some others. She just gets on with things at her own pace and puts 100% into the things she does, because... if you're gonna do something, what is the point of not giving your all the first time? One of the few times she really comes out of her shell is when she goes to Traska Lake Park and is transformed into her 'alternate' self once with the others in Leznaroth. ♦ Group: N/A ♦ Group Name: N/A ♦ Other: Is female, but her fantasy character she role-plays is to be considered male. ♦ Full Name: Bryan Mason Everett ♦ Nickname: Mason ♦ Title: The Gnasher ♦ Appearance: Mason ♦ Fantasy Appearance: The Gnasher ♦ Age: 20 ♦ Race: Dark Elf ♦ Class: Battle Monk (Self-titled "Instrument of Evil") ♦ Weapon: Toothed Sword (In the picture.) ♦ Occupation: Fast Food (OOC)/Ritualist (IC) ♦ Personality: Although 20, Bryan exudes the teenage punk-rock/stoner attitude.

In real life, he dresses in mostly black and always has some sort of piercing or spiked accesory. He carries this over to his Leznaroth persona, "The Gnasher", who is a much more sinister version of himself that brings out the occultish, evil style of the music he listens to. ♦ Group: N/A ♦ Group Name: N/A ♦ Other: Bryan has a lot of cousins.

So um.. yeah. Today makes my four year anniversary on KHV. It's pretty crazy. Sometimes it feels like I've been on here forever and then other times it's like: "Did that really happen four years ago?" Just wanted to say it's been lots~ of fun getting to know all my RP buddies and even those few of you that aren't members of the RPA. =]
banner by jayn <3 OOC ThreadTwo lands, one endless war. Would peace ever come to its inhabitants? Most townspeople say no. Hardly anyone even remembers why the fighting began. The two kingdoms have always lived relatively friendly lives. There were the occasional minor disagreements with trade here and there, but that was the extent of it. The fighting has always seemed to be rather balanced, no one kingdom receiving the necessary foothold to conquer the other. Supplies were diminishing. Villagers were dying of starvation. Money was running out. The two kingdoms were beginning to look like wastelands. Townspeople were leaving, abandoning their lives and moving elsewhere. Finally, at the pits of despair, the Kingdom of Korr received the foothold they needed. Citizens of Lazinth revolted, refusing to help any further in this endless war. The Kingdom of Lazinth was ready to fall. In a hair-brained attempt to keep his kingdom to himself, King Rintz of Lazinth offered his only daughter to marry the first son of Korr. The ruler of Korr, King Tallence, accepted the offer. His men drew back, returning to their beloved kingdom, and peace seemed to finally rule the lands once more. Villagers moved back. People seemed happy. It was all going as planned. As the wedding drew nigh, whispers began in the castle of Korr. Those whispers reached the ears of Princess Kaileigh. She was being forced to reside in Korr, so she wouldn't be able to back out of the nuptials. Princess Kaileigh sent word back to Lazinth, warning her father of the rumors. King Tallence had no intentions of ending the war with a treaty, via the wedding. With it now only two days away, how long would the people of Lazinth have until they were finally ruled by Korr? Rules: 1. Obviously, no god-modding/power playing 2. KHV rules apply 3. I have nothing against romance/language/violence, but keep it appropriate 4. Max 3 characters per person 5. If you can't handle multiple characters, don't make them. Or I will kill off whichever looks the least involved 6. Only one royalty character per person. If you want to play the King of Korr, you can't also play the King of Lazinth. You could have a king, a knight, and a villager or another varying combination. 7. I am the exception to my rules. I do what I want. J/k 8. Have fun. 9. For those that pick the two kings, I will be working with you more exclusively. Expect lots of PM's. You have free reign to come up with things to make it interesting (I encourage people throwing in their own twists and turns), but i'm still going to need to keep you on a leash for plot purposes. lol 10. Any questions? Feel free to ask. Accepted Characters: hyuge-chan cstar7777 TwilightBlader Machina Monochrome Master of Keyblades Midnight Star mike112291 Myst Bushy Brow riku1186 Dinny jackdaniel0 Name: Kaileigh Rintz Age: 19 Status: Royalty- daughter of King Rintz Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: Here Occupation: Princess Weapon: N/A Personality: Level-headed and mild mannered. Kaileigh does everything asked of her, even if she greatly dislikes it (including marrying someone for the sake of her kingdom). She's dilegent and hard working, as she was raised that way, and is rather soft spoken. She rarely speaks out of turn, making sure to only speak when spoken too. Kaileigh typically keeps to herself and rarely gets involved with things related to the war. Name: Yvette Sashiren Age: 22 Status: Villager Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: Here Occupation: Castle Maid Weapon: Dagger Personality: Fun and carefree. Yvette tends to go at her own pace and is comfortable around other people, this has managed to manifest into making her the village harlott, but she does not typically engage in indecent acts. Yvette frequents the local tavern after spending long 14 hour days cleaning the castle. She, much like the rest of the staff, are watched closely- so not to release any secretive information. She is bubbly and bright, despite working so hard each and every day. Name: Keeva Massey Age: 17 Status: Villager Allegiance: Korr Appearance: Keeva Occupation: Farmer Weapon: Flail Personality: Intellegent but silent. Although she is a woman she is very well educated because of her father who is ill and on his death bed. Although she has family in Lazinth that could willingly help her, she takes on the work load for herself. She is helpful to those in need and frequently gives out crops to the sick and homeless. Although her farm is one of the best in Korr many are trying to take it away because it is run under a woman rather than a man. Name: Derrick Massey Age: 25 Status: Villager Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: Derrick Weapon: Double-edged Shortsword Occupation: Blacksmith Personality: Lionhearted and loyal. He loves his work, his wife, his son, and his kingdom. Although he wished he could have become a knight or a soldier, the Blacksmith route turned out better for him. Although he is well known for his weaponry he isn't fond of using them to kill or injure. If he does use them, it's more for formal entertainment rather than war. He tries as much as he can to visit his family in Korr, where they exchange crops for his tools and other items. Name: Zephiel the Vermillion Age: 23 Status: Adventurer Allegiance: Neither Appearance: Appearance Occupation: Traveler Weapon: A broadsword Personality: Zephiel is a free spirited and laid back person who goes with the flow and tries his best to have a wonderful time. He loves to goof around and have fun whenever the opportunity arrives and loves it even more whenever he has company to enjoy it with. He has a high sense of curiosity about the world, which was what set Zephiel off to become an adventurer. The name "Zephiel the Vermillion" was not made by him, but was a title that the people gave him. Throughout the land he has earned the reputation of a hero, but Zephiel tries his best to hide this fact. Though he can keep a secret for others, he cannot keep his own secrets and is a terrible liar. He still goes by his name "Zephiel" but for some reason he refuses to reveal his family name. Though he can get aggravated quite easily if something does something stupid, it is difficult to truly get him mad. If he does get mad his personality changes to a much more calm and serious one. Name: Risit Lore Age: 26 Status: Villager Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: Ignore the katana! Occupation: Royal physician/counselor Ranking: N/A Weapon: Staff Personality: Wise beyond his years, kind, and a little on the playful side. He is invaluable to the royal family of Lazinth and knows it and because of this, he tends to mess with the knights and soldiers simply because he would never get punished for it. His favorite thing to do is to simply "bop" them on the head for their stupidity as he sees all the knights as merely grunts who can only swing a sword around. One would never think that he was as talented or smart as he is. Risit is of noble blood and is therefore eligible for knighthood, but simply keeps this a secret because he would never wish to kill another person. However, rumors say that when angered, he is more than capable of scaring the knight's captain...something that the captain would never admit to.

However despite this she still plays the part of a quiet, obedient wife as her dreams too often got her laughed at and mocked, bringing shame to her family. This doesn't stop her from ruling her country though, even if she has to go behind her husband's back to do so, though regretfully as she is otherwise loyal to him. And though she doesn't show much emotion to her followers she is a kind and caring mother who also treats her pet birds almost as well as her son.

He is a living legend with a mighty reputation behind him as one of the greatest Knights that Korr had ever had in their ranks and was even respected by the Knights of Lazinth.

Personality: As a person Alacasta is usually detached and uncaring but does help the people if in need of assistance for nothing, he is not use to the ways of the two Kingdoms. Once he puts on his armour he becomes a force to be reckoned with as he shows no mercy and no honour in combat. He is hunting a traitor from his home land and cannot return until he kills the traitor. This has left him bitter and cynical as the traitor was a close friend. He is very protective of those he helps. Once someone starts to know him he becomes friendlier but also sarcastic. Name: Louise Jeritos Braska, aka Kinslayer Age: 27 Status: Former Royalty Allegiance: Himself Appearance: Click Here Occupation: Exiled Prince Weapon: Royal Rapier Personality: Louise presents himself as a humble prince from the north and acts kind to those around him, this is all a trap that he uses to lure people into trusting him. He is ruthless and uncaring to his pawns and when he sees that a cause is lost he has no problem simple abandoning it and moving on. He hates his father and sister, his father for disowning him and his sister for stealing the Braca Imperial Throne from him during his coup’deta. He currently seeks to have Korr and Lazinth under his control so he can build a force to combat his sister’s ever growing empire.

Ranking: Peasantpfft Weapon: Two swords with their own sheathes(hanging from Poke's sides on his pant loop things). Swords can be combined to make a double-edged sword. Personality: A fun-lover that doesn't get in to politics that much. Poke takes pleasure in making people happy, and he's ready to help anyone at need. Unfortunately, Poke has personality disorder. Only one extra personality, though...a very violent one. Blade is what ‘other Poke' likes to be called Blade is pretty much the opposite of Poke. He likes to do things alone, and he seldom asks for help. He's violent and tends to cause violence whenever he's unleashed. Fortunately, Blade has been dormant for quite a while, although Poke gets the feeling he may arise again soon.
OOC Thread“Congratulations sinners. You have just been awarded a Get out of Jail Free card. What will you do with this new found freedom? Will you repeat your past mistakes? Bear in mind, if you do not act appropriately, you will return here; and maybe in a worse location than before.” An ominous laughter fills the vast expanse. “Your freedom comes at a price, like most everything else. A series of trials must be completed in order to leave the nine circles. Fret not, you aren’t alone. You shall be given a partner to complete these tasks, but that partner is in a different circle. A looking glass will be your form of communication.” “Who am I?” “That is of no importance. Just think of me as… your guardian angel. I like to see sinners given second chances. This hasn’t been officially approved of by those higher up. You and your partner are also not the only ones competing for redemption. Only four may reach the surface.” “Why only four? I can’t let everyone through. Someone would catch onto what I am doing you foolish mortal,” more ominous laughter, “No one has ever made it all the way there. I will meet you in Limbo, if you survive. I do hope you do.” The light began to fade. “Oh, one more thing: if you or your partner is unable to complete the tasks given to you, then you will forever be trapped in the circle you are currently occupying. Good luck.” Blackness.....The nine circles, as described in the Divine Comedy, are depicted as suffering located within the Earth. They are categorized in this manner: Earth (the surface), Limbo (first circle), Lust (second circle), Gluttony (third circle), Greed (fourth circle), Anger (fifth circle), Heresy (sixth circle), Violence (seventh circle), Fraud (eighth circle), Treachery (ninth circle). The very pit of the ninth circle contains Lucifer, forever encases waist deep in ice. Even he is not without punishment. A brief description of each circle has been provided. This Role Play is 100% original. No knowledge on Dante’s Inferno is necessary to participate. While details such as the descriptions of the circles are provided from the Divine Comedy, it is an original Role Play. Spoiler: Circles of Hell In Limbo reside the unbaptized and the virtuous pagans, who, though not sinful, did not accept Christ. Limbo shares many characteristics with the Asphodel Meadows; thus the guiltless damned are punished by living in a deficient form of Heaven. Without baptism ("the portal of the faith that you embrace") they lacked the hope for something greater than rational minds can conceive. Limbo includes green fields and a castle with seven gates to represent the seven virtues. Lust In the second circle of Hell are those overcome by lust. They are the first ones to be truly punished in Hell. These souls are blown back and forth by the terrible winds of a violent storm, without rest. This symbolizes the power of lust to blow one about needlessly and aimlessly. "... But to that second circle of sad hell,Where ‘mid the gust, the whirlwind, and the flawOf rain and hail-stones, lovers need not tellTheir sorrows. Pale were the sweet lips I saw,Pale were the lips I kiss’d, and fair the formI floated with, about that melancholy storm." The English poet John Keats, in his sonnet "On a Dream,"Gluttony The "great worm" Cerberus guards the gluttons, forced to lie in a vile slush produced by ceaseless foul, icy rain. The gluttons lie here sightless and heedless of their neighbors, symbolizing the cold, selfish, and empty sensuality of their lives. Just as lust has revealed its true nature in the winds of the previous circle, here the slush reveals the true nature of sensuality – which includes not only overindulgence in food and drink, but also other kinds of addiction. Greed Those whose attitude toward material goods deviated from the appropriate mean are punished in the fourth circle. They include the avaricious or miserly (including many "clergymen, and popes and cardinals"), who hoarded possessions, and the prodigal, who squandered them. The two groups are guarded by a figure names as Pluto, either Pluto the classical ruler of the underworld or Plutus the Greek god of wealth. The two groups joust, using as weapons great weights which they push with their chests: "… I saw multitudesto every side of me; their howls were loudwhile, wheeling weights, they used their chests to push.They struck against each other; at that point,each turned around and, wheeling back those weights,cried out: 'Why do you hoard? Why do you squander?' " Anger In the swamp-like water of the river Styx, the wrathful fight each other on the surface, and the sullen lie gurgling beneath the water, withdrawn "into a black sulkiness which can find no joy in God or man or the universe." The lower parts of Hell are contained within the walls of the city of Dis, which is itself surrounded by the Stygian marsh. Punished within Dis are active (rather than passive) sins. The walls of Dis are guarded by fallen angels. Heresy In the sixth circle, Heretics, (who say "the soul dies with the body") are trapped in flaming tombs. "From these two, art and nature, it is fitting,if you recall how Genesis begins,for men to make their way, to gain their living;and since the usurer prefers anotherpathway, he scorns both nature in herselfand art her follower; his hope is elsewhere." Violence The seventh circle houses the violent. Its entry is guarded by the Minotaur, and it is divided into three rings: Outer ring: This ring houses the violent against people and property. Sinners are immersed in Phlegethon, a river of boiling blood and fire, to a level commensurate with their sins. The Centaurs, commanded by Chiron and Pholus, patrol the ring, shooting arrows into any sinners who emerge higher out of the river than each is allowed. Middle ring: In this ring are suicides and profligates. The suicides – the violent against self – are transformed into gnarled thorny bushes and trees and then fed upon by Harpies. The trees are a metaphor for the state of mind in which suicide is committed. These suicides, unique among the dead, will not be corporally resurrected after the final judgment since they gave away their bodies through suicide; instead they will maintain their bushy form, with their own corpses hanging from the thorny limbs. The other residents of this ring are the profligates, who destroyed their lives by destroying the means by which life is sustained – i.e., money and property. They are perpetually chased and mauled by ferocious dogs. The destruction wrought upon the wood by the profligates' flight and punishment as they crash through the undergrowth causes further suffering to the suicides, who cannot move out of the way. Inner ring: Here are the violent against God (blasphemers) and the violent against nature (sodomites and, as explained in the sixth circle, usurers). All reside in a desert of flaming sand with fiery flakes raining from the sky, a fate similar to Sodom and Gomorrah. The blasphemers lie on the sand, the usurers sit, and the sodomites wander about in groups. Fraud The last two circles of Hell punish sins that involve conscious fraud or treachery. These circles can be reached only by descending a vast cliff. The fraudulent – those guilty of deliberate, knowing evil – are located in a circle named Malebolge ("Evil Pockets"). This circle is divided into ten Bolgie, or ditches of stone, with bridges spanning the ditches: Bolgia 1: Panderers and seducers march in separate lines in opposite directions, whipped by demons. Just as the panderers and seducers used the passions of others to drive them to do their bidding, they are themselves driven by demons to march for all eternity Bolgia 2: Flatterers also exploited other people, this time using language. They are steeped in human excrement, which represents the words they produced. Bolgia 3: Those who committed simony are placed head-first in holes in the rock (resembling baptismal fonts), with flames burning on the soles of their feet. Bolgia 4: Sorcerers, astrologers, and false prophets here have their heads twisted around on their bodies backward, so that they "found it necessary to walk backward, / because they could not see ahead of them.” While referring primarily to attempts to see into the future by forbidden means, this also symbolizes the twisted nature of magic in general. Bolgia 5: Corrupt politicians (barraters) are immersed in a lake of boiling pitch, which represents the sticky fingers and dark secrets of their corrupt deals.The barraters are the political analogue of the simoniacs, and Dante devotes several cantos to them. They are guarded by devils called the Malebranche ("Evil Claws"), the sign for their march is provided by a fart: "and he had made a trumpet of his ass.” Bolgia 6: In the sixth Bolgia, the poets find the hypocrites listlessly walking along wearing gilded lead cloaks, which represent the falsity behind the surface appearance of their actions – falsity that weighs them down and makes spiritual progress impossible for them. Bolgia 7: Two cantos are devoted to the thieves. They are guarded by the centaur Cacus, who has a fire-breathing dragon on his shoulders and snakes covering his equine back (in Roman mythology, Cacus was not a centaur but a monstrous fire-breathing giant slain by Heracles). The thieves are pursued and bitten by snakes and lizards. The full horror of the thieves' punishment is revealed gradually: just as they stole other people's substance in life, their very identity becomes subject to theft here, and the snake bites make them undergo various transformations. Bolgia 8: Two further cantos are devoted to fraudulent advisers or evil counselors, who are concealed within individual flames. These are not people who gave false advice, but people who used their position to advise others to engage in fraud. Bolgia 9: In the ninth Bolgia, a sword-wielding demon hacks at the Sowers of Discord, dividing parts of their bodies as in life they divided others. As they make their rounds the wounds heal, only to have the demon tear apart their bodies again. Bolgia 10: In the final Bolgia, various sorts of falsifiers (alchemists, counterfeiters, perjurers, and imposters) – who are a "disease" on society – are themselves afflicted with different types of diseases. Treachery The ninth and last circle is ringed by classical and Biblical giants, who perhaps symbolize pride and other spiritual flaws lying behind acts of treachery. The giants are standing on a ledge above the ninth circle of Hell, so that from the Malebolge they are visible from the waist up. The traitors are distinguished from the "merely" fraudulent in that their acts involve betraying a special relationship of some kind. There are four concentric zones (or "rounds") of traitors. These rounds correspond, in order of seriousness, to betrayal of family ties, betrayal of community ties, betrayal of guests, and betrayal of liege lords. In contrast to the popular image of Hell as fiery, the traitors are frozen in a lake of ice known as Cocytus, with each group encased in ice to progressively greater depths. In the very centre of Hell, condemned for committing the ultimate sin (personal treachery against God), is Satan. Satan is described as a giant, terrifying beast with three faces, one red, one black, and one a pale yellow: he had three faces: one in front blood red;and then another two that, just abovethe midpoint of each shoulder, joined the first;and at the crown, all three were reattached;the right looked somewhat yellow, somewhat white;the left in its appearance was like thosewho come from where the Nile, descending, flows. Satan is waist deep in ice, weeping tears from his six eyes, and beating his six wings as if trying to escape, although the icy wind that emanates only further ensures his imprisonment (as well as that of the others in the ring). Each face has a mouth that chews on a prominent traitor.

What will they do with it? The lands of Hell know no bounds. They hold no restrictions. It's only goal-- to keep its occupants from escaping. The lands were rough. The guards were vicious. Its seals are strong and withstanding. Can anyone really make it out alive? We shall see. Who has it in them? Who's heart is strongest? Do they desire the power and will to keep pushing forward and eventually reach the ultimate goal? Six participants. Three survivors? Who has it in them? "you have been not only blessed with the chance at freedom, but someone to help you along the way. Use it to your advantage. You will need them. The looking glass will be in your possession once you successfully manage to break your bonds. Can you do it? Will you break free? I can only make things so easy for you, after all. You should just be grateful to receive such a glorious opportunity. I can't help you with everything, but I will do my best to lend assistance when necessary. If you feel you absolutely need me, just call. The looking glass can do more for you than just communicate with your partner. Remember that. It is important. Good luck. Again, I pray I see you in limbo, safe and sound." Allison Su, cast away to the pits of the eighth circle for fraud. In the ninth Bolgia, a sword-wielding demon hacks at the Sowers of Discord, dividing parts of their bodies as in life they divided others. As they make their rounds the wounds heal, only to have the demon tear apart their bodies again. "Can you free yourself? Break out so you are no longer being hacked and healed and hacked and healed? A never ending cycle it is. What will you do?" Rick Alan and Kyle Williams. Violence. You were once dangerous to yourself. Are you still that way? Middle ring: In this ring are suicides and profligates. The suicides – the violent against self – are transformed into gnarled thorny bushes and trees and then fed upon by Harpies.

"So which happened to you? Did you kill yourself, or get rid of any means of survival? How ridiculous could you be?" Jane Taylor. Those whose attitude toward material goods deviated from the appropriate mean are punished in the fourth circle. They include the avaricious or miserly (including many "clergymen, and popes and cardinals"), who hoarded possessions, and the prodigal, who squandered them. The two groups are guarded by a figure names as Pluto, either Pluto the classical ruler of the underworld or Plutus the Greek god of wealth. The two groups joust, using as weapons great weights which they push with their chests. "You're up next in the joust. Can you escape before your battle? Will you continue to hoard and covet?" Dante Vale. Violence- Inner ring: Here are the violent against God (blasphemers) and the violent against nature (sodomites and, as explained in the sixth circle, usurers). All reside in a desert of flaming sand with fiery flakes raining from the sky, a fate similar to Sodom and Gomorrah. The blasphemers lie on the sand, the usurers sit, and the sodomites wander about in groups. "Which of the three are you? Are you stuck in the sand, sitting on it, or wandering? How will you escape, dear boy?" Caroline Murphy. More Fraud. Bolgia 5: Corrupt politicians (barraters) are immersed in a lake of boiling pitch, which represents the sticky fingers and dark secrets of their corrupt deals.The barraters are the political analogue of the simoniacs, and Dante devotes several cantos to them.

Tee-hee-hee. Getting out of this mess shall be ever so fun. Lake of boiling pitch? How revolting. Good luck." You must be creative. No two people shall get free the same way. If your character has done a satisfactory job of finding a way to get out of their bonds, you shall receive a message instructing you to go forward. Will you be able to do it? What will you accomplish in your time spent moving towards Limbo? Will you be able to change your ways upon reaching the surface, or will your wicked past send you right back to the pits of Hell?
banner by jayn <3 IC ThreadTwo lands, one endless war. Would peace ever come to its inhabitants? Most townspeople say no. Hardly anyone even remembers why the fighting began. The two kingdoms have always lived relatively friendly lives. There were the occasional minor disagreements with trade here and there, but that was the extent of it. The fighting has always seemed to be rather balanced, no one kingdom receiving the necessary foothold to conquer the other. Supplies were diminishing. Villagers were dying of starvation. Money was running out. The two kingdoms were beginning to look like wastelands. Townspeople were leaving, abandoning their lives and moving elsewhere. Finally, at the pits of despair, the Kingdom of Korr received the foothold they needed. Citizens of Lazinth revolted, refusing to help any further in this endless war. The Kingdom of Lazinth was ready to fall. In a hair-brained attempt to keep his kingdom to himself, King Rintz of Lazinth offered his only daughter to marry the first son of Korr. The ruler of Korr, King Tallence, accepted the offer. His men drew back, returning to their beloved kingdom, and peace seemed to finally rule the lands once more. Villagers moved back. People seemed happy. It was all going as planned. As the wedding drew nigh, whispers began in the castle of Korr. Those whispers reached the ears of Princess Kaileigh. She was being forced to reside in Korr, so she wouldn't be able to back out of the nuptials. Princess Kaileigh sent word back to Lazinth, warning her father of the rumors. King Tallence had no intentions of ending the war with a treaty, via the wedding. With it now only two days away, how long would the people of Lazinth have until they were finally ruled by Korr? Rules: 1. Obviously, no god-modding/power playing 2. KHV rules apply 3. I have nothing against romance/language/violence, but keep it appropriate 4. Max 3 characters per person 5. If you can't handle multiple characters, don't make them. Or I will kill off whichever looks the least involved 6. Only one royalty character per person. If you want to play the King of Korr, you can't also play the King of Lazinth. You could have a king, a knight, and a villager or another varying combination. 7. I am the exception to my rules. I do what I want. J/k 8. Have fun. 9. For those that pick the two kings, I will be working with you more exclusively. Expect lots of PM's. You have free reign to come up with things to make it interesting (I encourage people throwing in their own twists and turns), but I'm still going to need to keep you on a leash for plot purposes. lol 10.

Although her farm is one of the best in Korr many are trying to take it away because it is run under a woman rather than a man. Name: Derrick Massey Age: 25 Status: Villager Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: Derrick Weapon: Double-edged Shortsword Occupation: Blacksmith Personality: Lionhearted and loyal. He loves his work, his wife, his son, and his kingdom. Although he wished he could have become a knight or a soldier, the Blacksmith route turned out better for him. Although he is well known for his weaponry he isn't fond of using them to kill or injure. If he does use them, it's more for formal entertainment rather than war. He tries as much as he can to visit his family in Korr, where they exchange crops for his tools and other items. Name: Zephiel the Vermillion Age: 23 Status: Adventurer Allegiance: Neither Appearance: Appearance Occupation: Traveler Weapon: A broadsword Personality: Zephiel is a free spirited and laid back person who goes with the flow and tries his best to have a wonderful time. He loves to goof around and have fun whenever the opportunity arrives and loves it even more whenever he has company to enjoy it with. He has a high sense of curiosity about the world, which was what set Zephiel off to become an adventurer. The name "Zephiel the Vermillion" was not made by him, but was a title that the people gave him. Throughout the land he has earned the reputation of a hero, but Zephiel tries his best to hide this fact. Though he can keep a secret for others, he cannot keep his own secrets and is a terrible liar. He still goes by his name "Zephiel" but for some reason he refuses to reveal his family name. Though he can get aggravated quite easily if something does something stupid, it is difficult to truly get him mad. If he does get mad his personality changes to a much more calm and serious one. Name: Risit Lore Age: 26 Status: Villager Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: Ignore the katana! Occupation: Royal physician/counselor Ranking: N/A Weapon: Staff Personality: Wise beyond his years, kind, and a little on the playful side. He is invaluable to the royal family of Lazinth and knows it and because of this, he tends to mess with the knights and soldiers simply because he would never get punished for it. His favorite thing to do is to simply "bop" them on the head for their stupidity as he sees all the knights as merely grunts who can only swing a sword around. One would never think that he was as talented or smart as he is. Risit is of noble blood and is therefore eligible for knighthood, but simply keeps this a secret because he would never wish to kill another person. However, rumors say that when angered, he is more than capable of scaring the knight's captain...something that the captain would never admit to. Name: Hadrian Tallence Age: 39 Status: Royalty Allegiance: Korr Appearance: Ignore the magic! Occupation: King of Korr Ranking: KING OF KORR Weapon: The Sword of Korr Personality: Strict. Hadrian is a stickler for tradition and does not tollerate insubordination. Years of war have made him cold to his subjects and even to his only son. He wishes for him to become an even greater ruler than he has been and Hadrian only sees his actions as good for the kingdom. The only person he would ever open up to is his Queen. Name: Abigail Tallence Age: 35 Status: Royalty Allegiance: Korr Appearance: Here Occupation: Queen Weapon: Hidden blade Personality: Believes that women are equal to men, maybe even better, so she has strives to be a powerful queen who is not only wise and intelligent, but strong and fair. However despite this she still plays the part of a quiet, obedient wife as her dreams too often got her laughed at and mocked, bringing shame to her family. This doesn't stop her from ruling her country though, even if she has to go behind her husband's back to do so, though regretfully as she is otherwise loyal to him. And though she doesn't show much emotion to her followers she is a kind and caring mother who also treats her pet birds almost as well as her son. Name: Aloys Col Age: 18 Status: Knight Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: Here Ranking: Base Knight Weapon: Bow and Arrow Personality: Aloys always tries his best and has a knack for always getting back up on his feet, even when it is best to stay down. He has an incredible aim to top it off and is a loyal solider, though has moments of clumsiness which has prolonged his stay as a base knight. Name: Dante Vale Age: 20 Status:Knight Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: Dante Occupation: N/A Ranking: Lieutenant Weapon: Twin swords (Red and black one in picture) Personality: When compared to the other knights, Dante is very unorthodox. At most times he seems to be very laid back and calm. Though whenever he's needed for something, he takes it seriously and performs his job to the best of his abilities. He was never given any proper training, instead he self taught himself Name: Creed Age: 25 Status: Knight Allegiance: Korr Appearance: Ignore the giant gun Occupation: N/A Ranking: Base Knight Weapon: Claymore Personality: Being born into knighthood, Creed takes his role as a knight very seriously. Even though he may not be in care of protecting the royal family, he will always perform his duties to the best of his abilities.

Willing to risk/give all for family and kingdom. Respects the rights and beauty of others and nature. Feeling distant from his father (except in their training sessions), he grew up very close to his mother. Has few friends, mostly confides in his mother and fenris (his pet wolf). After hearing new of the upcoming marraige, the young prince is nervous and anxious as he prepares to come into the world as his own man while training to take over a very demanding job. Other: pet (Fenris: A loyal servant of Korr and personal friend to the prince. After an afternoon ride through the woods a scrappy wolf followed the prince back without his knowledge. Crossing through the castle gates, the guards sized the wolf, not wanting to see it harmed. The prince brought him home and has enjoyed his companionship ever since. He is believed to be around 25 which is believed to be rather special given the age length of wolves. He mostly stays by the prince's side but can be found roaming the village.) Name: Beta Age: 19 (looks older) Status: knight Allegiance: Korr Appearance: here Ranking: Captain. Weapon: whip (yes.... a whip. Personality: A man obsessed with power. he wishes to take the seat of the king. He is ruthless and willing to kill anything, when not being watched that is. He will obey the rules of chivalry as well as show respect to the king when around such. Name: Archibold Rintz Age: 38 Status: Royalty - King of Lazinth Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: (Click) Occupation: King of Lazinth Weapon: The Sword of Lazinth Personality: Good humored and good natured, Archibold is a King who is loved and respected by his people. He has a close relationship with his daughter and is deeply upset that forcing her into marriage may be the only way to save his Kingdom, but as a King he is bound by duty and to his people - a fact which he respects. He understands that he and his daughter as much as they dislike it have to make sacrifices too, just as the people of the Kingdom would have to do. The years of war, and loss of his wife have left their mark on Archibold, but he remains steadfast, strong and noble - staying true to himself and doing the best he can for his daughter and his Kingdom. ...He knows when to be serious, but some do say he has the tendency to be very relaxed even in the worst of situations. Name: Leonidus Arcadius Age: 36 Status: Legend Allegiance: Neither Appearance: (Click) Occupation: Wanderer/Mercenary Weapon: (Same as picture - It's not a katana - Just a big sword!) Personality: Quiet and wise beyond years, Leonidus Arcadius is a man who speaks only when necessary, and when he does speak, you can be sure that it's something important. He is a living legend with a mighty reputation behind him as one of the greatest Knights that Korr had ever had in their ranks and was even respected by the Knights of Lazinth. A few years ago - he resigned from his position and then vanished. There hasn't been an official sighting of him since then. ...Rumors of a powerful swordsman wandering the lands have been plenty however. It is unknown to this day just where he is, or his reasons for disappearing. Name: Aveline Arcadius Age: 18 Status: Knight Allegiance: Korr Appearance: (Click here) Ranking: Lieutenant Weapon: (Same as picture) Personality: Aveline Arcadius is focused, determined and punctual, taking her duty as a Knight of Korr seriously. She is the daughter of the legendary Leonidus Arcadius, however she has not let his reputation as one of the greatest Knights there has ever been be used for her own gain. Aveline has worked hard to secure her position in the Knights of Korr by her own merits. She is highly skilled and respected, known to be a powerful Blademaster like her father before her. She hasn't seen her father for years and has no idea why it is he vanished or where he may be now. Her mother wished for her to become a good housewife and to marry, but Aveline chose her own path following in her father's footsteps and advancing quickly with her great skill, already securing herself a place in Korr's history. Her father believed that 'one should cut their own path and forge their own destiny', and she too believes in his words. Name: Alacasta Vauntis Trios, aka The Black Knight Age: 21 Status: Knight Allegiance: Neither (Aligned with a distant Empire) Appearance: Normal Persona Black Knight Persona Occupation: Knight, Hunter Ranking: Base Weapon: As the Black Knight he wields a massive Claymore with one hand, while he travels in his everyday persona he wields a longs sword with two hands. Personality: As a person Alacasta is usually detached and uncaring but does help the people if in need of assistance for nothing, he is not use to the ways of the two Kingdoms. Once he puts on his armour he becomes a force to be reckoned with as he shows no mercy and no honour in combat. He is hunting a traitor from his home land and cannot return until he kills the traitor. This has left him bitter and cynical as the traitor was a close friend. He is very protective of those he helps. Once someone starts to know him he becomes friendlier but also sarcastic. Name: Louise Jeritos Braska, aka Kinslayer Age: 27 Status: Former Royalty Allegiance: Himself Appearance: Click Here Occupation: Exiled Prince Weapon: Royal Rapier Personality: Louise presents himself as a humble prince from the north and acts kind to those around him, this is all a trap that he uses to lure people into trusting him. He is ruthless and uncaring to his pawns and when he sees that a cause is lost he has no problem simple abandoning it and moving on. He hates his father and sister, his father for disowning him and his sister for stealing the Braca Imperial Throne from him during his coup’deta. He currently seeks to have Korr and Lazinth under his control so he can build a force to combat his sister’s ever growing empire. Name: Billie Craig Age: 19 Status: Soldier Allegiance: Korr Appearance: Here Ranking: Base Weapon: Battle Axe Personality: Incredibly eager and enthusiastic, Billie has a heart for the battlefield and loves to be in action. She dislikes taking breaks and loves taking orders. She isn't the most skilled soldier - but her love for her job is never questionable and always tries her best. She has a bubbly, caring and spunky personality and is always ready to serve for others. Name: Poke/Blade Age: 14 Status: Villager Allegiance: Lazinth Appearance: here Occupation: Uhh...Nothing? Ranking: Peasantpfft Weapon: Two swords with their own sheathes(hanging from Poke's sides on his pant loop things). Swords can be combined to make a double-edged sword. Personality: A fun-lover that doesn't get in to politics that much. Poke takes pleasure in making people happy, and he's ready to help anyone at need. Unfortunately, Poke has personality disorder. Only one extra personality, though...a very violent one. Blade is what ‘other Poke' likes to be called Blade is pretty much the opposite of Poke. He likes to do things alone, and he seldom asks for help. He's violent and tends to cause violence whenever he's unleashed. Fortunately, Blade has been dormant for quite a while, although Poke gets the feeling he may arise again soon.
I know a few others have been having this issue, but as of late, images in posts like Roleplay banners and such just show up as [ img ] icons, while appearing fine on other people's screens. I'll post screen shots later when I'm not afk. Currently on my phone, which appears to be having even worse problems with that. Almost everyone's sigs come up as [ img ] and any if not all images in their posts (even non rp related ones) are also [ img ].
So, today my creative juices are in like mega overdrive and I have three RP ideas. I plan to start working on all of them, just want a show of hands for which people would be more interested in. Whatever has the most votes, I will work on first and go from there. You're probably thinking, "but hyuge, you just posted a new rp, can you really handle three more on top of that?" To that, I respond, "oh you precious sweet babu. Your concern is much appreciated, but as I do nothing all day except work and RP, I can handle the challenge. LOL" <3 Numero Uno: the first one is a fantasy rp. there are two warring kingdoms. they have been going back and forth for years, using up all their resources and losing countless citizens in their nations. finally, there is a break in the balance and one of the nations gains leverage in the war. in an attempt to end things, the ruler of the losing kingdom offers up his only daughter to marry the eldest son of the conquering kingdom. it appears to have done the trick, but as the wedding date nears, the tables turn. Nummer Zwei: the next is based off of the book series Blue Bloods, by: Melissa De La Cruz. It's about vampyres. the thing is, the vampyres are actually the fallen angels of biblical times. no knowledge on the series is needed, but i highly recommend reading it. so good! <333 you would be playing the vampyres. ( yes, i do keep saying vampyres and not vampires on purpose. there is a reason for it ) or the werewolves which are actually hellhounds. the story would be original. i'm still working on finer details for it. but the story intrigues me greatly. it gives a fresh new look on angels, vampires, 'werewolves' and the like. i think i have something for it, but am having a hard time putting pen to paper atm. Numéro Trois: The last would be a Norse mythology based RP. I have been reading a series recently based off of Norse mythology which has rekindled my passion for mythology. So, i am stepping out of my comfort zone that is the Greeks and moving north. i don't know a lot of Norse myths atm, but do plan on reading up on them. basically, the characters would be gods-incarnate. they would be living in Midgard (Earth) and reincarnate after each death as a new mortal. Their appearance changes, personalities are relatively the same, and they have know clue who their bonded partner is. A god might spend an entire mortal lifetime without ever meeting the person they have been destined to be with since the beginning of time. sure, they will often times take on human lovers, or meet another god and 'marry' them for that life cycle, but ultimately are destined to be with that one person. if they do find them, their aging slows, they live longer, they are still not immortal but only die of unnatural causes. this is necessary since there are times when two gods that are destined to be together are of significantly different ages-- one being a child while the other is an adult. granted, not all gods have a bonded mate. there are some, like Erda who have been single their entire lives. there is nothing wrong with that. they just go about as normal. they are not forgotten though, there are special things in store for them. the gods need each other to survive. banned from Aasgard, where only Odin and Frigg remain, they must work together to survive this world that doesn't believe in them anymore or the power of magic.
IC Thread“Congratulations sinners. You have just been awarded a Get out of Jail Free card. What will you do with this new found freedom? Will you repeat your past mistakes? Bear in mind, if you do not act appropriately, you will return here; and maybe in a worse location than before.” An ominous laughter fills the vast expanse. “Your freedom comes at a price, like most everything else. A series of trials must be completed in order to leave the nine circles. Fret not, you aren’t alone. You shall be given a partner to complete these tasks, but that partner is in a different circle. A looking glass will be your form of communication.” “Who am I?” “That is of no importance. Just think of me as… your guardian angel. I like to see sinners given second chances. This hasn’t been officially approved of by those higher up. You and your partner are also not the only ones competing for redemption. Only four may reach the surface.” “Why only four? I can’t let everyone through. Someone would catch onto what I am doing you foolish mortal,” more ominous laughter, “No one has ever made it all the way there. I will meet you in Limbo, if you survive. I do hope you do.” The light began to fade. “Oh, one more thing: if you or your partner is unable to complete the tasks given to you, then you will forever be trapped in the circle you are currently occupying. Good luck.” Blackness.....The nine circles, as described in the Divine Comedy, are depicted as suffering located within the Earth. They are categorized in this manner: Earth (the surface), Limbo (first circle), Lust (second circle), Gluttony (third circle), Greed (fourth circle), Anger (fifth circle), Heresy (sixth circle), Violence (seventh circle), Fraud (eighth circle), Treachery (ninth circle). The very pit of the ninth circle contains Lucifer, forever encases waist deep in ice. Even he is not without punishment. A brief description of each circle has been provided. This Role Play is 100% original. No knowledge on Dante’s Inferno is necessary to participate. While details such as the descriptions of the circles are provided from the Divine Comedy, it is an original Role Play. Spoiler: Circles of Hell In Limbo reside the unbaptized and the virtuous pagans, who, though not sinful, did not accept Christ. Limbo shares many characteristics with the Asphodel Meadows; thus the guiltless damned are punished by living in a deficient form of Heaven. Without baptism ("the portal of the faith that you embrace") they lacked the hope for something greater than rational minds can conceive. Limbo includes green fields and a castle with seven gates to represent the seven virtues. Lust In the second circle of Hell are those overcome by lust. They are the first ones to be truly punished in Hell. These souls are blown back and forth by the terrible winds of a violent storm, without rest. This symbolizes the power of lust to blow one about needlessly and aimlessly. "... But to that second circle of sad hell,Where ‘mid the gust, the whirlwind, and the flawOf rain and hail-stones, lovers need not tellTheir sorrows. Pale were the sweet lips I saw,Pale were the lips I kiss’d, and fair the formI floated with, about that melancholy storm." The English poet John Keats, in his sonnet "On a Dream,"Gluttony The "great worm" Cerberus guards the gluttons, forced to lie in a vile slush produced by ceaseless foul, icy rain. The gluttons lie here sightless and heedless of their neighbors, symbolizing the cold, selfish, and empty sensuality of their lives. Just as lust has revealed its true nature in the winds of the previous circle, here the slush reveals the true nature of sensuality – which includes not only overindulgence in food and drink, but also other kinds of addiction. Greed Those whose attitude toward material goods deviated from the appropriate mean are punished in the fourth circle. They include the avaricious or miserly (including many "clergymen, and popes and cardinals"), who hoarded possessions, and the prodigal, who squandered them. The two groups are guarded by a figure names as Pluto, either Pluto the classical ruler of the underworld or Plutus the Greek god of wealth. The two groups joust, using as weapons great weights which they push with their chests: "… I saw multitudesto every side of me; their howls were loudwhile, wheeling weights, they used their chests to push.They struck against each other; at that point,each turned around and, wheeling back those weights,cried out: 'Why do you hoard? Why do you squander?' " Anger In the swamp-like water of the river Styx, the wrathful fight each other on the surface, and the sullen lie gurgling beneath the water, withdrawn "into a black sulkiness which can find no joy in God or man or the universe." The lower parts of Hell are contained within the walls of the city of Dis, which is itself surrounded by the Stygian marsh. Punished within Dis are active (rather than passive) sins. The walls of Dis are guarded by fallen angels. Heresy In the sixth circle, Heretics, (who say "the soul dies with the body") are trapped in flaming tombs. "From these two, art and nature, it is fitting,if you recall how Genesis begins,for men to make their way, to gain their living;and since the usurer prefers anotherpathway, he scorns both nature in herselfand art her follower; his hope is elsewhere." Violence The seventh circle houses the violent. Its entry is guarded by the Minotaur, and it is divided into three rings: Outer ring: This ring houses the violent against people and property. Sinners are immersed in Phlegethon, a river of boiling blood and fire, to a level commensurate with their sins. The Centaurs, commanded by Chiron and Pholus, patrol the ring, shooting arrows into any sinners who emerge higher out of the river than each is allowed. Middle ring: In this ring are suicides and profligates. The suicides – the violent against self – are transformed into gnarled thorny bushes and trees and then fed upon by Harpies. The trees are a metaphor for the state of mind in which suicide is committed. These suicides, unique among the dead, will not be corporally resurrected after the final judgment since they gave away their bodies through suicide; instead they will maintain their bushy form, with their own corpses hanging from the thorny limbs. The other residents of this ring are the profligates, who destroyed their lives by destroying the means by which life is sustained – i.e., money and property. They are perpetually chased and mauled by ferocious dogs. The destruction wrought upon the wood by the profligates' flight and punishment as they crash through the undergrowth causes further suffering to the suicides, who cannot move out of the way. Inner ring: Here are the violent against God (blasphemers) and the violent against nature (sodomites and, as explained in the sixth circle, usurers). All reside in a desert of flaming sand with fiery flakes raining from the sky, a fate similar to Sodom and Gomorrah. The blasphemers lie on the sand, the usurers sit, and the sodomites wander about in groups. Fraud The last two circles of Hell punish sins that involve conscious fraud or treachery. These circles can be reached only by descending a vast cliff. The fraudulent – those guilty of deliberate, knowing evil – are located in a circle named Malebolge ("Evil Pockets"). This circle is divided into ten Bolgie, or ditches of stone, with bridges spanning the ditches: Bolgia 1: Panderers and seducers march in separate lines in opposite directions, whipped by demons. Just as the panderers and seducers used the passions of others to drive them to do their bidding, they are themselves driven by demons to march for all eternity Bolgia 2: Flatterers also exploited other people, this time using language. They are steeped in human excrement, which represents the words they produced. Bolgia 3: Those who committed simony are placed head-first in holes in the rock (resembling baptismal fonts), with flames burning on the soles of their feet. Bolgia 4: Sorcerers, astrologers, and false prophets here have their heads twisted around on their bodies backward, so that they "found it necessary to walk backward, / because they could not see ahead of them.” While referring primarily to attempts to see into the future by forbidden means, this also symbolizes the twisted nature of magic in general. Bolgia 5: Corrupt politicians (barraters) are immersed in a lake of boiling pitch, which represents the sticky fingers and dark secrets of their corrupt deals.The barraters are the political analogue of the simoniacs, and Dante devotes several cantos to them. They are guarded by devils called the Malebranche ("Evil Claws"), the sign for their march is provided by a fart: "and he had made a trumpet of his ass.” Bolgia 6: In the sixth Bolgia, the poets find the hypocrites listlessly walking along wearing gilded lead cloaks, which represent the falsity behind the surface appearance of their actions – falsity that weighs them down and makes spiritual progress impossible for them. Bolgia 7: Two cantos are devoted to the thieves. They are guarded by the centaur Cacus, who has a fire-breathing dragon on his shoulders and snakes covering his equine back (in Roman mythology, Cacus was not a centaur but a monstrous fire-breathing giant slain by Heracles). The thieves are pursued and bitten by snakes and lizards. The full horror of the thieves' punishment is revealed gradually: just as they stole other people's substance in life, their very identity becomes subject to theft here, and the snake bites make them undergo various transformations. Bolgia 8: Two further cantos are devoted to fraudulent advisers or evil counselors, who are concealed within individual flames. These are not people who gave false advice, but people who used their position to advise others to engage in fraud. Bolgia 9: In the ninth Bolgia, a sword-wielding demon hacks at the Sowers of Discord, dividing parts of their bodies as in life they divided others. As they make their rounds the wounds heal, only to have the demon tear apart their bodies again. Bolgia 10: In the final Bolgia, various sorts of falsifiers (alchemists, counterfeiters, perjurers, and imposters) – who are a "disease" on society – are themselves afflicted with different types of diseases. Treachery The ninth and last circle is ringed by classical and Biblical giants, who perhaps symbolize pride and other spiritual flaws lying behind acts of treachery. The giants are standing on a ledge above the ninth circle of Hell, so that from the Malebolge they are visible from the waist up. The traitors are distinguished from the "merely" fraudulent in that their acts involve betraying a special relationship of some kind. There are four concentric zones (or "rounds") of traitors. These rounds correspond, in order of seriousness, to betrayal of family ties, betrayal of community ties, betrayal of guests, and betrayal of liege lords. In contrast to the popular image of Hell as fiery, the traitors are frozen in a lake of ice known as Cocytus, with each group encased in ice to progressively greater depths. In the very centre of Hell, condemned for committing the ultimate sin (personal treachery against God), is Satan. Satan is described as a giant, terrifying beast with three faces, one red, one black, and one a pale yellow: he had three faces: one in front blood red;and then another two that, just abovethe midpoint of each shoulder, joined the first;and at the crown, all three were reattached;the right looked somewhat yellow, somewhat white;the left in its appearance was like thosewho come from where the Nile, descending, flows. Satan is waist deep in ice, weeping tears from his six eyes, and beating his six wings as if trying to escape, although the icy wind that emanates only further ensures his imprisonment (as well as that of the others in the ring). Each face has a mouth that chews on a prominent traitor. This is a partner based Role Play. If you will not be regularly active DO NOT JOIN! I cannot stress this enough. You partner will be depending on you to move forward. You will be granted two weeks to complete each layer of Hell. It should most definitely not take you longer. If your partner abandons you, speak to me immediately. Otherwise, your character will be trapped in the current circle they are occupying and you are out of the Role Play. Only one character per person. I will not be creating one. Having one for myself benefits me little. If we end up with an odd number of characters, then and only then will I be allowing someone to make an additional character. You may state when filling out your CS if taking a second character is fine with you. I will choose the best candidate based off of those who offer. This Role Play is about you the players. Any characters I use will solely be there to guide you forward or oppose you. Working with your partner is crucial. I will assign partners. I will also assign which section of Hell you are from. There will be no Bio or Personality. Your character’s personality will be based off of the circle they are assigned to. I apologize if this is upsetting to some of you, but that’s just how it is. I will be using various items for assigning partners and circles along with challenges. (i.e. dice rolls, RNGs, coin flips, and so on) KHV rules apply. There will be no romance. It’s hard to become romantically involved with someone when you primarily work alone. Mature language and graphic images/descriptions are allowed here. It is Hell, after all. I know a lot of this may sound like I am straight up ripping it out of Dante’s Inferno, but I am honestly not making a DI Role Play. It is original. For starters, they are ascending out of Hell, not descending in order to eventually come out on top. Your character will receive a mirror at the start of the Role Play. This is your form of communication with your partner. You can only speak to your partner through it. There may be other characters in the same circle as your character. Your character will have no clue the other is also being set free. Interaction with them will be fruitless. Although people will eventually face the same monsters, the challenges will be different each time. There is no copying someone else. You need to think outside the box. If your character is in one of the higher levels, (i.e. two or three) they have the option to descend a level, bringing themselves closer to their partner. The pairs must cross over into Limbo together. Their final challenge must be faced as a team. Bear in mind, the two week rule still applies. If you descend, you have two weeks to ascend. Once back up the next level, your character must face a new challenge before they can descend again or ascend to the next circle. I know it seems like a lot and is probably really confusing. Just talk to me if you have questions. Do you understand why being active is so important? You can quite literally screw your partner over if not. For the most part, parings will be done at random. If I deem a pairing to unequivocal, I may alter what the RNG tells me. Have fun. It really is meant to be an interesting brain exercise. This Role Play is meant to make you think outside the box, work together with someone you may not have much prior interaction with, and to be enjoyable in a dark way.

I just wanted to point out that I never received my Manifest Illusion or my Lost Illusion materials for 600 and 800 likes. I'm almost to 1,000 now, so I figured I should say something. It doesn't really bother me much, but just thought someone should know about it. I reached 600 and 800 a few weeks ago, so yeah.... Thanks!

If I missed anyone, I apologize. I had a wonderful night last night at the hotel with mike112291. We were happy to see each other for a night for the first time in awhile. The presents are wonderful, but were not necessary. Everyone that spoke to me yesterday made my day that much brighter, which is saying a lot because I usually have very unpleasant birthdays.

Pull up a comfy chair, take a blanket and warm beverage, and feel free to listen in. I first want to thank anyone and everyone that even views the thread, let alone comments on it. A lot of the opening works I post are from some time ago. I'm hoping this will motivate me to get back into writing. I also want to note that I will be including all of my poems here, along with the short stories and character sketches. If it is a problem, please let me know and I will gladly separate my poems from the Original Work, moving them to the Poetry Section. I would just rather have everything in one place for convenience sake. Again, thank you for checking it out, I hope you enjoy yourself. Most of what I post after this will just be linked here. I would rather keep my OP neat and from getting cluttered with tons of items. I might add all the poems to this top post, but the short stories and chapters will for sure just be linked to the post number I have them in. Enjoy! Daisies Missing Wake Up Sunshine Elementary School Love Experiences Too Late Abuse Fear Drowning Fading Dreamscape The color of the petals dance like paint on a canvas. Red and glorious soft to the touch and as gentle as a feather. The smell of heaven wafting out from it's center like an ocean breeze in the late night air. Calm and serene waiting to be picked. Colors dazzle across my eyes, the smell of food growing with every step, The sense of longing deep within my heart. Everything new and undiscovered, people dancing in the streets, silk and cotton covering my body. I see them there, the people I should be with, not the ones I want, however. I think about the old days. The days where you were always present, where I would come to this festival, and you would be there, too. Seas of colors open up before my eyes, drums beating out a new rhythm, everyone laughing and have a good time. Not me, though. Nothing is the same without you. Everything has changed, without you. I don't taste the foods, all their magical wonders. I don't dance with everyone, moving with the rhythm, and I don't join the people. The ones expecting me. Without you, I don't do anything, not today. Deep dark gold Swift and sweet the kiss of emerald The sun rises on the early summer morning. The deep dark gold ball, shining in the sky. The kiss of emerald colors the grass it's luscious green. The leaves moving ever so gently in the morning breeze. Critter awaken from a long night's slumber, flowers blooming before one's eyes. The hummingbirds swift and sweet, silently steal the nectar of a newly blossomed flower, beaming with energy for the new day. It's peaceful, quiet, everything to make a perfect summer morning. Unfolding the paper slowly she smiled back at him, he looked nervously up at her. Her eyes grew wider his head lowered, her smile became softer. He chances a glance up at her she nodded back at him, he began to smile too. She looked at the paper over and over again she read it, he knew it by heart. It read: Roses are red, Violets are blue, I think you're pretty, Do you like me, too? It was electrifying, his lips against mine. My heart beat like a hummingbird constantly flapping its wings. I never knew how intense it could get. It's like we were clay suddenly molded from two into one. As far as I knew, it couldn't get better. Oh, how I was wrong. His lips tasted like cinnamon-- Spicy hot, but still somewhat sweet. The smell of apple floated from his hair. His passionate chocolate-brown eyes game me a warm chill throughout my body. Never had I thought of something this incredible all throughout my life. It gave me an urge, almost like a craving. I felt I needed more. Just the slightest thing would make me smile now. It didn't take much. I owe this all to him. He changed me entirely. Never will I be the same, but that's okay. I never want to go back. Not to how I was before, not to whom I was before. Screams, loud enough to wake the neighbors. Tears, flowing so fast a river couldn't keep up. Overtaken by a lifetime of pain. I curl into a ball, not caring who sees me. Shaded by the dark, the can't see me. Back and forth, back and forth, the yelling only gets louder. I cover my ears to help drown it out. Smack! More screams. Doors slam shut. My body shakes in the dark. I'm completely invisible. Not once am I seen, as if I never existed. That might have been better, never existing. Bang! My ears are ringing. The smell of gunpowder burns my nose. Silence fills the house, then laughter. He started laughing hysterically, I didn't. I buried myself in blankets, waiting for sirens. The sound of sanctuary. My sanctuary. They came too late. . . The pain never really goes away. The bruises never stop coming. I'm just getting better, better at hiding. Less people notice the marks. I never forget the pain. The reds, blues, and purples are more vibrant than before. They've become stronger, I'm not sure how long I can last. The sleeves have been getting longer, my hair is always down. I try to block my face, that way the marks aren't seen. It doesn't always work, though. Sometimes I say it was a ball, others, I have no excuse. "It was an accident," is all I say. Nobody knows. Nobody cares. Nobody, will ever find out. My eyes grew wide my heart began to race my breathing grew short and quick my hands were shaking I couldn't swallow. It slithered closer I froze in panic the hissing grew louder. My heart beat faster, I could feel the thumping in my ears. The tears started pouring faster and faster they came out like a waterfall, never seeming to run out. It stopped at my foot curled it's long scaly tail around my ankle too scared to scream, it bit down. The sound of it's teeth puncturing my skin, the warmth of the venom slowly trickling in, the pain from it's teeth inside of my leg, I screamed. I screamed louder than I ever have. All the air rushing out of me in one breath. I grew lightheaded dizzy from the poison faint from the missing oxygen, I grew silent. As that feeling slowly creeps up behind me again, I wonder why I am always depressed. I have no reason to be either. That is what confuses me. I become so happy, but at the same time, I feel as if I am still all alone. The times that I really want to let it out and tell someone, I cannot. There is no one there to tell. Emptiness begins to engulf me. I stick my hand out for someone to grab it, but I just keep going under. There is no one there. I open my mouth to call out for help. My throat quickly fills with something I am unfamiliar with. I feel a new sensation coursing through my veins. All the bad seems to slowly fade away. All of a sudden, I start to feel warm, like that enticing, burning sensation when something wonderful has occurred. I open my eyes and there it is. A bright light surrounds me. I feel different. I feel free. I am no longer drowning. Click Click Goodbye One Late Night xxxxxThe whole place had a smell of wet grass and fresh flowers. A bouquet of cut daisies sat up against one of the hedge stones near the entrance. The creak of the front gate could startle anyone. It was one of those loud eerie creaks, like a wood door to a room that hadn't been opened in years. The entire cemetery was clouded by a thick early fall morning fog. It was like one of those scary movies where it always just so happened to be foggy. xxxxxThe small girl glided through the rows of deceased like a ghost. She knew where she was going and didn't let anything stop her. The sound of a twig breaking might have startled some, but she knew it was just a family of deer in the endless rows of trees. Behind the cemetery was a very thick wood, to which she had ran away to numerous times. No one would ever find her in a place they were too afraid to search. xxxxxShe held a bouquet of blue roses that accent her sparkling sea green eyes. Her wavy brown hair covered the bruises on her neck as she came upon the gravestone she was looking for. "Mamma, now is when you're supposed to tell me happy birthday." She put bouquet down. "I'm thirteen now. Papa didn't seem to know what today was, so I thought you might. You do remember, don't you?" Tears started to slowly flow down her freckled face. xxxxxA chipmunk ran across a patch of leaves, making a crunch noise. She shivered from the chill of the early morning. "Why does daddy keep treating me this way," she choked out. "Mamma, why did you leave me alone with Papa?" Her eyes grew bloodshot and her hair damp from the moisture. "Mamma, I just wanted to tell you goodbye. I didn't know when I would see you again. I wanna' leave Papa. I love you Mamma." xxxxxShe clung to the backpack she was carrying and walked off towards the dark animal infested woods. xxxxx"Why are you doing this?" Rosie yelled out between sobs. The tears were rolling down her face like bullets. She would attempt to wipe them away and they would continue to fall like a waterfall pouring off the side of a cliff. Her sparkling-blue eyes were becoming bloodshot. Mascara covered her cheeks and eyeliner streaks could be seen off to the corners of her eyes from wiping the tears away. Rosie's once neat and beautiful long brown wavy hair was in a tangled mess. xxxxxCarter looked at her, expressionless. "It just needed to be done." His words hung in the air for a moment. Carter walked to the bathroom sink to wash his hands. As the wam water poured out of the faucet, the sink filled with a watery red color. He looked out the bathroom doorway at Rosie who was sitting on the floor. xxxxxShe was hunched over sitting on her knees with her legs sticking out the sides in the back. Rosie's palms were covering her face and she continued to sob harder. Words could be heard coming out of her mouth, but they were intangible to anyone other than herself. "You're going to...to go to jail for this. Do you realize w-what you've done?" Rose looked up at him. Carter's figure was hard to make out in the dim light, but she knew where he was. She studied his six foot-three structure through squinted eyes. Rosie could see that he was still trying to wash it all off of his hands. Carter was hunched over the sink and looked massive standing there in his thick letterman jacket, now stained a deep crimson color. xxxxx"I fully understand what I've done Rosie," he said, still not looking at her. Carter could feel her gaze upon him, but he kept his eyes on his pruning hands. "There was no stopping the inevitable." xxxxx"You didn't HAVE to do it! It was NOT inevitable!" She pulled herself up off the ground and walked towards the bathroom angrily. "Jay was our friend, yes, but this was no way to handle things." Rosie flung her tangled hair behind her head and wiped the streaming tears away furiously. Breathing became harder to do from being angry and crying so heavily. Her head started spinning. xxxxxCarter saw her wobble slightly as she came closer and when she started to fall, he ran from the sink to catch her. "Rosie, I love you, and Jay was my best friend. I couldn't just let those scum get away with what they did." He laid her down on the couch and took off his jacket. Carter walked back to the bathroom to turn off the sink and dry his hands, and then drifted back to the couch to sit beside her. xxxxxRosie's baby blue lace top became ruined from Carter's jacket. There were now crimson splotches all over it. She pulled herself up into a sitting position on the suede emerald green sofa to allow room for Carter. The only light in the house was coming from the moon outside the window. It was dark, dark and silent. the necklace Rosie was wearing gleamed in the moonlight. She looked up at him nervously. As habitually as ever, she bit her lip before she spoke. "Carter they'll find you; if they don't find you first, the police will." Rosie took a deep breath after speaking. The tears had stopped flowing out of her eyes. xxxxx"Don't worry about me Rosie; I'll be fine. Let's go to bed. It's been a long night." Carter picker her up once more and carried her to the bedroom where here was more room to lie down. His toned physique had no problems carrying her small frail body. Carter looked down at her concerned with chocolate-brown eyes. His long bangs fell in his face, covering up any fear that he may have been showing. To try and Make her worry less, he gave her his big dopey grin to cover it all up. Rosie wasn't fooled, but was too tired to argue anymore. She lifted her pale small hand to her mouth as she yawned.

OOC THREAD Welcome to the in-between, a world where the dead whom aren't ready to die belong. Anything can happen to them here-- it's just like the world of the living, but with a twist. Those that die in this world don't stay dead. They "return to life" after a brief period of unconsciousness. It's filled with people and things referred to as: NPC's, that are generated by this world. They don't actually feel, they don't actually exist. They are just nameless, faceless, robot-like beings present to help the departed reach their final destination--wherever that may be. The "monsters" of this world try a little harder than the humans. They are supposed to be a way of scaring the dead into wanting to move on. If you get captured by them, you become an NPC yourself. Never moving on, never looking forward. You enter the mundane routine of living a hallow life, going through the motions. Those that refuse to move on are aware of this danger, but risk it anyway. They want to continue living happy lives, even if it's not with the ones they loved most. New relationships are developed in this world, and are a necessity to both survive and be obliterated. Which will you choose?? ********************************* x Liv moved silently through the quiet hallway of the school. There had been a few new recruits as of late. It was sad actually. If only they could have all just moved on to begin with. Nobody should have all these things holding them back. She didn't want to have more recruits, but she did what she could with them. Liv and the others that had been there for quite some time introduced them to the school, gave them a room to stay in, and prepared them for the inevitable. Eventually they would all move on and leave her, or be consumed. With the increase in recruits, there had also been an increase in hostile NPC's. They want them gone. Of course they do. Liv caught sight of an NPC out in the courtyard. It was coming for her, but it wasn't like she could actually move on even if she wanted to. Her hand reached to the side of her skirt and pulled out a silencer pistol. With the the facility, they could create almost anything. She used the railing to aim and took sight of the ghost. with one quick squeeze of the trigger, its form disappeared in a matter of seconds. Why had there been so many sightings recently? The recruits just seemed to keep coming as well. What was life like back in the real world? It had been so long. Surviving. That's what she had been doing for the last two and a half years. The only true company she had at her side was aura. Aura had been here so long she stopped keeping track. The others usually didn't last too long. A couple months tops. They would make their piece and get obliterated or become cocky and get consumed. It was a vicious cycle. A few had lasted a long time, but still not nearly as long. They came into the picture after everything happened. They only knew what little aura told them. Liv liked keeping to herself. She may be the leader, but she likes my privacy. She's cold to them for good reason, and they should really try to move on because some of them will never never able too. She checked the watch on her wrist and sighed. Time to head back to the club house.
So my boyfriend has been considering the idea of starting to rp, but he wants to do like a w.o.w. rp. Just looking to see if anyone is actually interested in the idea. He wanted me to ask. So feel free to submit your opinions and any ideas if you have them. I know absolutely nothing on it. Would just be helping with the creation process. It's his idea after all.
So....since Disney has recently purchased both the Marvel franchise AND the Star Wars franchise, my boyfriend and I suspect that there will be worlds featured in KH3 based around the two of those. I've never really been a HUGE Star Wars freak or anything, but I would now almost be disappointed if they didn't include one if not both of the franchises. Does anyone else think it'll happen? Does anyone want to guess which Marvel characters would make an appearance? I would really be open to almost any of them being featured. I think they would be awesome summons. =]
so i do a lot of thinking whenever i sign into kh-vids, and every time i wonder when it is just going to seem wrong of me to be on here anymore. i know i shouldn't feel awkward or old but since i'm out of high school i can't help but feel weird about it at times. all i wonder is when it is going to start being inappropriate to be on here. i love RP'ing and i'm afraid some day i'm just going to have to stop completely because i should be acting "more grown up." kh-vids is supposed to be a semi-kids sight, but i have to keep reminding myself that the series started in america when i was like 9, so by that logic it is directed towards my age group and there are others on here that are the same age. but i didn't start playing til i was in like 8th or 9th grade. so i'm a little late on the times. idk... does anyone else ever feel like they are too old or running out of time for enjoyment on here? i think it mostly just "flares up," if you will, when my boyfriend teases me for being rp obsessed, but he has no room to talk because he's been playing WoW longer then i've been a kh-vids member. interested to hear everyone's opinions on it or how old they currently are. stuff like that. i'll be 20 in february and i just feel like my days are rapidly becoming numbered. =/

It is used globally in more than 47 different countries and contained more than 1.6 billion users. CC Corp. is currently the highest grossing video game company in the world. After net issues in The World's predecessor, Fraction, game designer Harald Hoerwick may have come up with arguably the greatest game of all time. It stems throughout several age generations, with things for everyone to do. From questing, to Grunty raising, and all the way down the PVP [player versus player] fighting for those that feel monsters just aren't a big enough challenge. Many of the game's staff are also members of The World. Maintenance apparently doesn't just happen with a bunch of letters and numbers. They really get into the system and work it that way. Hoerwick's idea for the game was originally based off of a poem called, TheEpitaph of Twilight, written by Emma Wielant. Much of The World's story line was originally based upon the poem, but then changed over time to meet the ever changing society that encompasses The World. Now it's just about monster hunting, making friends, and having an all around good old time. For a hefty start-up fee, that covers all the necessary equipment to play the game, and a small monthly fee; gamers of all ages can don on a virtual reality headset and hookup a gaming controller to their computer and become the newest citizen of The World. The graphics in the computer game bring you back to a world before electricity, but with it's own form of developing technology, steam. There appear to be those that disapprove of the new form of technology since it requires killing special Grunties, and those that heavily rely on it. This division is what is currently becoming the new plot development in the game. Who will take control? History Of The World Spoiler: History Genesis of Grief The Elder and Younger Deities. Long, long ago before the earth and the heavens existed, two brothers lived in the world. Able to read each other's hearts without so much as a glance, the two were fully satisfied. The world was the two. The two were the world. One day the Elder Deity accidentally broke the Younger Deity's treasured sword. Furious, the Younger Deity retaliated by slashing the Elder Deity's treasured spear with his broken sword. The spear was split in half and the Elder Deity erupted in anger. And so, glaring at each other, one holding his broken sword, the other his broken spear they fought. The War waged for seven days and seven nights. On the eighth day, the Younger Deity realized their foolishness and went to the Elder Deity to request a truce. But the Elder Deity, still blinded with anger, saw this as an opening and thrust his spear. The spear pierced the chest of the Younger Deity and took his life. The Younger Deity's final breath became the heavens, and his fallen body became earth. The fountain of blood erupted high and became the sun. The broken sword shattered and formed the moons and stars in the heavens. Feeling great shame, the Elder Deity wept. His tears became rain and fell to earth, forming oceans in its deep contours. From eternal tranquility, the world was set into motion. New Life A goddess was born, and so then was sound, names, and numerous lives. The last to be born were Elves, the creatures of destiny. The Elder Deity mourned the loss of the Younger Deity for many years, but eventually he grew accustomed to his sad, lonely life. One day, unable to bear his loneliness any longer, the Elder Deity removed one of his eyes and created a goddess. The new goddess looked at the Elder Deity and exclaimed: Thou art handsome. With this voice, the world was filled with sound. The Elder Deity and the new goddess gave names to each other. The Elder Deity received the name of Sol the God of Creation and the goddess, Myulin the Goddess of Harvest. Then the Elder Deity created a land of the dead in the darkest part of the world and sealed the spirit of the Younger Deity and gave him the name of Cernunnos the Lord of the Dead. This was how all things were named and given a purpose. Sol gave birth to more gods and goddesses. Myulin gave the new gods names and Sol gave them purpose. One rules the sun, and another the oceans. One ruled the weaving thread, and another the stoves. This was how the sun traveled the sky, the oceans beat against the shores, the loom spit out threads, and the stoves held the fire within. Sol then gave birth to trees, plants, beasts, birds, fishes, and insects. They were all spread throughout the world and found a place to live. The world was filled with life. Last to be created were the Elves. Sol created them in his image and he loved them best. Sol asked all the gods and all creatures to grant the elves their blessings. Each god, goddess and creature happily gave its blessings to the elves. As a result, the elves were faster, stronger, smarter, and more beautiful than any other creature, and they were able to speak the language of all creatures. However Cernunnos, the Lord of the Dead withheld his blessing from the elves. Unaware of darkness, the elven hearts were ever wrapped in light, but because of it the elves had an incredible innocence in them. The Fools Feeling the full fury of the gods, the elves lose all that were good in them and become Humans. The gods entrusted the earth to the elves, and created their own realm in the heavens known as Airceltrai, the City of Dawn. And so the elves ruled the earth And the gods ruled the heavens. The gods built a path connecting the earth and heaven and called it the Heavenly Path. The Heavenly Path was used to deliver the light of the heavens and the gods down to earth. Guarded by the light of the sun and the light of the gods, life on earth flourished and it seems that peace would last forever. But as time passed, the elves began to believe that their powers equaled those of the gods. They built the aerial fortress, Fort Ouph in the sky to enter the realm of the gods and insisted that they be treated as gods. Sol was furious and he took from the elves all that were good in them. The elves became slower, weaker, and uglier than any other creature. Myulin scorned these foolish creatures and named them Humans. The Despised The Elves who did not raise their swords against the gods are turned into beasts. There were some who protested the treatment of the elves at the hands of the gods. They were the elves who did not wish to go against the gods. They stormed the Heavenly Path and threw themselves before the gods and cried,“Why must you punish us when it was not us who drew our swords against you?”The gods answered,“That is true. But that is not the only sin.”The elves asked again,“What do you mean by that, oh gods?”The gods answered back.“Very well then. When your brethren raised their swords against us, where were you and what were you doing?”To that, the elves replied,“We were at the altars praying to you gods. We prayed that the fools who disobeyed you would receive your divine punishment.”The gods retorted,“Were you not merely praying that your own lives be spared?!”The elves faces turned red and they could not reply. Suddenly the gods showed their anger.“You are more foolish than the fools who do not know their place! Lower even than the humans! From this day on, you will wear a mark showing your supposed innocence and piety!” And just as this thundering judgment was made, each of the elves that gathered at the Heavenly Path began to transform. They grew tails and their beautiful faces turned into those of beasts. When they saw how they had changed, they screamed in shame and disappeared to dark corners of the world. Grunty Race The Grunties were born solely of the goodness taken from the Elves, and ruled the earth with kindness. Having lost their wisdom, humans brought war and chaos to the world. They had been reduced to creatures concerned only with domination, and so they commenced to make war on all the other races. Sol gazed down in sadness at the ruined earth and decided to use the goodness that he had taken from the elves to create the race of Grunties. He dispatched them to return peace to the world. But the gods were afraid that the Grunties would suffer the same flaw as the elves and voiced objections to Sol’s action. And so, Sol cast a curse upon the Grunties and proclaimed:“Listen carefully to me. I have cast a spell on you. It is a curse and a magic word is its key. If someone, even just one person on this earth says this word, a terrible calamity will befall on all of you.” The Grunties beseeched him,“Great lord, when this calamity occurs, how are we to escape it?”Sol nodded his head an answered:“You must not oppress others. You must not be bitter. You must not be envious. Have a good and pure heart and live your days peacefully.” The secret word was told to all gods and all creatures except for humans. The gods were satisfied and the Grunties were sent down to earth. Without shedding a drop of blood, the Grunties stopped the violence of the humans. Overjoyed, the gods created magical powers and gave it to the Grunties. But even with such great power, the Grunties did not fall prey to the sin of pride. Banquet of Conspiracy Humans, the only race jealous of the Grunties, conspired and regained control of the earth, and once again prospered. The Grunties were loved by all creatures with the exception of the bitterly jealous humans. This was because all of the things that made Grunties so wonderful had once belonged to the humans. Humans began to look for Grunties’ weaknesses and learned of the curse that Sol had cast on them. Overjoyed, the humans next set out to learn the secret word, but even the normally talkative monkey would not betray the secret word. So the humans held a banquet and invited all the gods and creatures in order to fog their minds with drink. One after another, the guests became intoxicated until finally only the snake, the strongest drinker, remained. The snake still would not tell the secret word, so the humans brought out their strongest drink and gave it to the snake. As expected, the snake became drunk and told the secret word to the humans. The humans rejoiced and intoned the words. Immediately, the Grunties lost their intelligence and found themselves unable to stand upright. The humans called them Puchi Pongo and made them into their beasts of burden. Then they proceeded to continue their war against the other races. For telling the secret words, the snake was punished by having to forever crawl about the earth on its stomach. Path of Evil The gods, falling into to despair, blocked their light from earth, and the unprotected land was corrupted by the Shadow. The gods fell into despair over the humans’ deed. They created a great gateway called Morrigu Barrow and blocked off all earthly access to the Heavenly Path so that none could enter heaven. Along with the sealing of the Heavenly Path, the light of the gods was also blocked from earth. Without the protection of the gods, the earth gradually became wilder and began to be corrupted by a dark power called the Shadow. Corrupted by the Shadow, the earth overflowed with monsters and demons. These demons roamed the world and killed everything in their path. Many creatures were lost as a result of their brutality. Humans also came under attack by the monsters. They formed barriers in the major cities and closed themselves off. They fought against the monsters, but lost battle after battle. One by one, the cities were cut off from each other, and the barriers protecting the cities were destroyed one after another. Finally only five cities remained standing. Goddess Aurora Mankind's salvation was a young apprentice magician and eight gods. However, misfortune soon fell anyway. The savior of mankind was a young apprentice magician. He confined himself in the temple of Arche Koeln and prayed to the gods. In exchange for his life, he was able to call upon the six great spirits and two goddesses. The eight gods that were summoned were: Vulcan the Fire Spirit, Merrows the Water Spirit, Krake the Wood Spirit, Yarthkins the Earth Spirit, Lanceor the Lightning Spirit, Wryneck the Darkness Spirit, Anu the Star Goddess, and Aurora the Goddess of Light. The light of the gods shined once more on the blessed earth and the Shadow was contained. Thanks to the newfound peace, humans once again prospered, but it did not last long. Once the threat of the Shadow was gone, the humans began to fight with each other. After sealing the shadow, the eight gods and goddesses remained on earth, but some were angered by the foolishness of humans and others grieved their wretchedness and left until finally, only Aurora remained. Fearing that the light of heaven would again depart the earth, humans placed eight curses on Aurora and sealed her inside the Hulle Granz Cathedral. Battle Against The Gods When the gods learned that a goddess had been imprisoned, their fury knew no bounds and they vowed to destroy mankind. But the humans had no intention of meekly succumbing to extinction and used their magic powers to devise a weapon that they could use to fight against the gods. So began the war between the gods and the humans. The humans were no match for the power of the gods. The Aerial City of Fort Ouph fell from the sky and the Highland City of Dun Loireag was crushed underneath it. The Cultural City of Carmina Gadelica was destroyed by the god of lightning and many lives were lost. As a last resort, the humans took all of Aurora’s power, transformed it into magic power and fired it at the heavens. Heaven was engulfed in flame and the gods fled or fell burning to die upon the earth. The humans sacrificed much as well. The Relic City Lia Fail, from where the goddess’s power was fired, was reduced to ashes and many excellent magicians died along with it. And so ended the age of the gods. Gods' Rebirth All the gods in heaven disappeared. But a single god who remained on earth lived. This was the God of Law, Folset, who guarded the gate that blocked the Heavenly Path. Winning the war against the gods, the humans wanted the wisdom and power of the gods and stormed Morrigu Barrow and demanded Folset to invite them in to the realm of the gods. But Folset refused to grant them entry. At first, the humans pointed their weapons at Folset and demanded he open the gate. But Folset answered thus: “Do whatever you wish. There is no way any of your weapons can harm me.” The humans followed his words and tried to attack Folset in any way they could, but they were unable to harm even a single hair on his head. Once they learned that force was to no avail, they tried to convince him to open the gates by seducing him with gifts. After seeing the gifts, Folset said, “Build a mountain of gifts for me if you wish. I’ll make a mountain twice that size in an instant.”Before Folset was even finished completing his sentence, a mountain of gifts more lavish than the gifts of the humans sprang up before their eyes. After learning that both force and flattery were of no avail, the humans got on their knees and begged pathetically.“If a power that is greater than the Shadow emerges, we would fall into ruin. But if we could regain the wisdom and power that lies beyond this gate, we would be able to protect ourselves and not fight one another. So please open the gate.” Folset laughed and answered them: “Was it not you who took up sword and shield and slew the gods? You should suffer for your sins.” Protesting, the humans replied,“So you are saying that we should have simply allowed the gods to drive us all to extinction?” Folset shook his head and answered:“Recall first the sins that you committed. Is it not just that sinners receive judgment?”To this the humans could make no reply. Folset continued to speak:“But all beings have the right to atone for their sins. Human! Child of sin! If you want this gate opened, then bring back the lost gods. The gods will rise again, born from the dogma of the believers. If they are true gods, then I will open this gate. Bring back what has been lost and only then can you be pardoned.” And so the humans argued over Gods’ Rebirth and once again made war against each other. World Without Gods The world fell into stagnation without the gods. With none to command them, the sun stood in place and the tides ceased to ebb and flow. The looms gave forth no thread and the ovens no warmth. Mankind now had to perform all of these functions themselves. Despite these hardships, humans did not cease their wars with each other. Soon they invented different types of magical tools to improve their lives. Ten years after the Great War with the gods, a researcher visited the ruins of Fort Ouph. Many have avoided the ruins of Fort Ouph, Lia Fail, Carmina Gadelica, and Dun Loireag after the Great War in fear and hatred that they were haunted by the spirits of the dead gods and goddesses. This belief was further enhanced by the fact that most who set out to explore the ruins never came back. However this particular researcher did return and he brought along with him a creature with a body of a human and a head and tail of an animal. The creature was a Beast. Humans and Beasts At first, humans and beasts were friendly with each other. But while the beasts revered nature and old ways, the humans were too innovative. It was the beasts who first discovered the creatures called Chim Chims. When the beasts saw the light of the gods in the Chim Chims they decided to revere them as a legacy of the gods. But the humans captured the Chim Chims to research them and after discovering a way to extract energy from them, used them to invent steam machines. The beasts protested this treatment, but the humans would not listen. As the humans’ use of steam technology advanced, they abandoned magic as old and obsolete. The beasts continued to revere magic culture and rejected steam technology. Humans scoffed at the beasts for being stubborn and small-minded, and beasts came to despise the humans’ foolishness. Eventually the beasts decided they could not leave the Gods’ Rebirth to the fools and proclaimed that they too will participate in the Gods’ Rebirth. Folset granted their participation. Humans were outraged. They believed that the Gods’ Rebirth was their right. The two sides’ antagonism toward each other began to deepen and finally war broke out. Humans gathered their armies and steam weapons, but found their weapon production was lagging behind. Desperate, they built the great factory of Breg Epona, but still they were unable to create the necessary weapons. Beasts were mighty in the ways of magic, but were small in numbers. They were unable to marshal a large enough army. Humans were weaker but more numerous. Beasts were stronger, but fewer in number. And the war continued to rage on. Three Dogmas Both humans and beasts grew tired of the long years of war. However, neither side was able to strike a decisive blow and none knew a way to stop the cycle of wars and bring the entire gruesome conflict to an end. In this never-ending cycle, a new Faction was born. Composed of both humans and beasts, the new Faction concentrated on pure pursuit of power and incorporated the crest technology derided by humans and the steam technology loathed by beasts. Both humans and beasts were afraid that this new faction would enter the wars, but they sent emissaries to both humans and beasts and called for a cease fire. At first, both races were hesitant, but they both were forced to accept from the sheer toll brought on by the war. And so the war between the two races ended but the conflict continued. Beasts continued to insist on participating in the Gods’ Rebirth and the new faction proclaimed their participation as well. Humans chanted for “Steam technology and innovation.” Beasts were for “crest technology and tradition.” And the new faction for “the pure pursuit of power.” They began a quiet war without a show of force. No winner was decided in this war since no gods were born from any of these forces. The three-way war continued, and in time the factions came to be called the following: Arvakv the Innovators Ogmios the Conservatives Teutates the Pursuers To this day, the three-way war knows no end, and it quietly drives the world ever closer to its doom.

Finally he walked over to her, looked at the thing she was trying to read, explained it in the simplest, most childlike manor and walked away. She found him in the library a few days later and after that they became the oddest pair of friends.
