Solo, he was a solo player, usually was. There was no use in trusting people when all they ever do is turn and stab you in the back, or die. Everything always went to hell, so why would he let more people in? He could beat this on his own, he didn't need a party or a guild. Occasionally yes he would join one to get through an area but then that was it. He couldn't risk making friends. Not in his condition, not when he could drop dead in the middle of something because of the outside world. No he would do this on his own because that is what he had to do. Video games were an escape from the real world, but when they turned deadly he couldn't afford to be carefree and he couldn't just leave the moment people began to pity him or treat him differently because of his illness, or entire life for that matter. He was stuck so he would isolate himself the best he could. The only problem with Lucas' plan was that he used the same username in every game he was in, so that being said it was more than possible that someone would recognize him. Though very few people knew about him and his life. Still they would know that he was pretty good at these games and might want to try to team with him. He didn't want that, but it was something he might have to live with. Working together was how they got out of SAO, despite the losses that they had all seen, team work would most likely be what was needed to win this. That being said he would continue fighting and training on these monsters. Most people were still getting organized so he got this field mostly to himself, until everyone else arrived. He would get as much training as he could in, when a bunch of others showed up, he would move on to the next town and continue on his training away from people as much as he could. Or perhaps someone would actually try to join him and perhaps he would accept it, depending on how pissed he still was when they arrived. "So does that mean you will both help me?" Samantha asked hopefully. She needed help if she was going to survive, Samantha was not afraid to admit that. "I-if I survive this... if we survive this I will assure my father will award you handsomely." Samantha stated. She knew better than to let people know exactly who she was, but she didn't think it would hurt to let them know she was on the wealthier side of things. Her family was not very well liked by a lot of people including human rights activists and animal rights activists. Samantha however had no part in her fathers business and tried not to let it effect her. That being said the numerous death threats on her family were rather real. So letting people know who fully she was may be a bad idea. The promise of money if she lived however might be a good thing to keep them on her side. Samantha finally picked herself up and grabbed her weapon tight in her hand, looking down at her new bow. It was pretty amazing. The reason that she chose that weapon was because if she had to fight she could do it from a distance and stay safe, but nothing felt safe anymore. She gave the two males a thankful bow before speaking again. "Also, just wondering, I know you shouldn't talk about what happened in Sword Art Online or anything, but do you guys happen to have been in that game and know someone who's username was DragonBlade? He fought on the front lines a lot I think. Or so I heard. I don't know, no one would tell me much about what happened in the game or to Seth. They said I was too young to know." Samantha stated in a nervous rant. She was still not sure about anything but she hoped these guys would help her and maybe even say good things about her brother. That would be nice to hear for once. Just someone who actually appreciated him like she did. He had been her only friend.
Well that plan went downhill quick. Though Aedion could put on a good face, he really didn't like people, so leading the interrogation mission was not going to be good. On top of that the idea of a third party was completely ignored. Apparently leaving people to protect the town was unnecessary meaning he would have to spare some of his team for that. The next thought was the fact that he was left with the two mutes to go talking to people. Aedion was getting rather annoyed with Neoph now and refused to keep his mouth shut. "With all due respect sir, these teams completely suck and you didn't even heed the idea of people to protect the town. You should know that Aello never speaks unless really necessary, and the new kid Yu, he doesn't either. Then there is Lance. He is just a damn idiot. Seriously this is the team you give me to take and question someone? Besides you would probably know more details on this case than I for having to talk to this guy about it. I would seriously suggest rethinking your plan." Aedions voice was kept in a well trained manner, angry, but a flat anger, no one place did he seem more mad than the others. Trained emotions, something his father found very important. He could keep his emotions well trained and calm or let his anger out to an extent and show how serious he was. Hopefully Neoph would take him seriously.
Gwen sighed when she saw the result of what she had just dragged into the rp. Well that might have been a mistake but at least she fixed Hunter. "Well as a reward for saving this dimwit you can stay here and start a new adventure. Children like war right?" Gwen said waving Emily off. Gwen wasn't particularly fond of small, nice, and/or naive people. This girl seemed to be all three. Perhaps that was why she got along with Hunter so well, he was exact opposite of all those. He was perfect for a girl like her. "Well Hunter, shall we?" Gwen asked as she offered the man a hand up. As to what she referred to by 'shall we,' she didn't actually know. She would just leave that to Hunter to decide she figured. "By the way, don't call him Stubby or Sal, or Salamander. It is just annoying." She turned around and said to the girl in a slightly annoyed voice. "But I guess I owe you one. I will get you another time for that, kay?" She added before starting to walk off. Idiots. They were both goddamn self righteous idiots who didn't understand it at all. "I don't care if you could protect her better, it wouldn't hurt my pride. My goal isn't self glory or feeling good about what I have done. My goal is to make sure that she is kept safe. I don't care if it is by someone else's hands, even yours Dane. But despite keeping her safe from outside sources you still completely broke her, physically and mentally. That is not keeping her damn safe!" Xander yelled, quickly losing his patience. His conversation with Dane however was quickly interrupted by Xero. Though he would have liked to take advantage of that to kill Dane, the fight rightly belonged to the woman, so he would let her have it, instead turning his attention over to Xross. Xander gently took Alisia by the shoulders and moved her behind him. "I won't let you touch a hair on her body." He glared at the man, his other hand reaching for his second sword as he spoke. Alisia couldn't do anything except stand there as Xander moved her aside, ready to fight. She hated being so useless and not helping Xander, but a deep rooted terror took hold of her senses. She wasn't insructed to help, instead implied that she should stay back. Alisia was terrified to disobey this. She was scared of being beaten or yelled at. Yes as Dane said he had done some nice things for her, but he had also done some horrible things, enough to keep her in submission, and now Alisia found those habits hard to break. Not wanting to look at the fight that was clearly going to unfold before her, Alisia turned her eyes to the hero, though her movements were slow and sluggish. She didn't have anything to say, she had nothing to do, so she simply studied him, the one that she went on this miserable quest to save. The one she wanted to kill Dane. However now she wasn't so sure if that was what she really wanted anymore. She had seen a different side of the man and her deep rooted hate was slipping ever so slightly, making her second guess her decisions.
Karina allowed Beuce to drag her to the side with a roll of her eyes. This was so lame. Was he really that pissed about not giving up her information. Karina sighed and continued picking at her nails as she went to speak. "Listen I know you mean well but I will not bow down to the first thing that threatens me. I will not respond to that, it would take a lot more than that to make me tell someone else about myself unless you know, they are civil about it first. That thing... That bunny was not, so why should I be civil back? I mean I could have charged at him and attacked him right there. Or would you rather I yelled and cursed at him? I don't know if you have met me before, but that was me being civil. If you want respect from me earn it, or do what my father did and beat it out of me. I will not respond to threats." Karina stated, her arms crossed and looking aggravated. "Now if you excuse me." Karina pushed past Beuce back to where the bunny and D'daear were left standing. She didn't say a word to anyone as she stood there, arms crossed, eyeing the bunny. She remained holding on to her keyblade even with crossed arms as a precaution, though she didn't seem overly hostile, just unhappy. Karina's patience was beginning to wear thin with everyone now.
Alexis hid her shakes and every nervous habit as she stepped closer to the tower, breaking through the thick fog that coated it. After everything Alexis had been through in her life, the tower that started to emerge before her, shouldn't have scared her in the least. However this was different than many other times. She wasn't just going to be sold to another owner and knew her roll and she wasn't just going to be fighting to survive and get a bite to eat on the streets. This was an entirely different place, one that she didn't know how well her... special abilities lets call them, would work. Alexis didn't know what to expect in the tower, she simply hoped it was a chance to live a better life... and perhaps be able to buy some real clothing. Real clothing would be very nice to have. Alexis slowly entered the tower without knocking or anything. She looked around nervously taking in her surroundings. Goodness did she hope that nothing in here would require reading, or writing, or other basic skills that most people would assume everyone knew how to do, except Alexis didn't. Given her life she was never taught anything except how to please a person, male or female. Knowledge led to a higher chance of escape. If a slave didn't know how to think then they couldn't escape. This sad fact however made her life on the streets the last few years even more difficult than it already was. Luckily she had learned how to use her weapons and her power quickly and effectively because it was the only thing she had to go on. Now she hoped they would be enough to get her through this and allow her a chance at a better life.
Samantha looked up at <Hades> but before she could say anything, someone else appeared helping her with what to do with the potion that she was given. Samantha watched as the potion caused her bow to turn into a long bow with wide eye'd amazement. However that lead to another problem... how to use said weapon. She caught the man helping her ask about being her first VRMMO and offering suggestions on what to do about it. She looked up at him as her mind thought about it. "Well can't you help me?" She asked softly. "I don't blame you if you don't want to. I mean I don't even know how to use a weapon. I just wanted to know what about this games were so appealing that my brother died because of one... Sword Art Online. It was just two damn weeks before that guy beat the game. Just two...." Samantha's voice trailed off. "Seth was a good person he didn't deserve to die. He fought on the front lines almost the entire time through that game, so I head. Even though he was a master blacksmith. He could have opened a shop and supported from the sidelines and still be useful, but he fought everyday and it killed him...." Samantha said even quieter. "I don't want to be stuck in this mess. I don't know what to do. I am going to die aren't I?" Samantha then asked. "I just wanted to see what it was like. I have never played a video game in my life. I never wanted too, I was just lonely and wanted to see. I don't even know how to use my weapon. Please help me. Don't leave me here. I doubt anyone else will help me. I mean who wants a little girl who has no clue how to do anything on their team anyways." Samantha stated. She rarely looked up at the one called <SilentBlade> instead looking only at her lap and weapon. She honestly forgot that <Hades> was there too but she didn't care so much. She just wanted out.
Lucas heard someone call out for any Elitists, for anyone who was a veteran at these sort of games. Although he fit the bill he wasn't going to join, instead he wanted to train. If he was going to survive this game he wasn't going to let a bunch of party members steal his experience and slow his leveling. No while they organized their little group he would go train, he would level and surpass them all. He didn't need a team, all he had to do was look out for himself and that was exactly what he was going to do. Lucas exited the square, calmly walking through the town and to the nearest field that would be good for training in. From there he took his lance and decided to try it out, get used to wielding one. It was a new class for him, that being said he was still going to absolutely kick a** with it without a problem. After all that was kinda what he did, when he wasn't being a bruiting twenty two year old in real life trying to just stay alive and deal with his b*tch of a step mother. Lucas thought back to the conversation that he had with his step mother before entering the game. Spoiler: Conversation with step mother that you don't have to read "You are starting another one of those stupid games? Why?" Clarice sneered as Lucas prepared his gear to dive into another game. "I don't expect you to understand so I won't explain it to you." Was all that Lucas stated not even looking up at his step mother. "If you have money to spend on those stupid games then you can afford to pay for your treatments instead of mooching off your father all the time." "He gets compensated for my hospital bills, just as I get compensated a small portion due to my inability to work, Clarice." "Do not call me that! Ma'am would suffice just fine." "Bite me." Lucas scoffed at her showing no signs of respect as he actually stood up straight and faced her, looking her dead in the eye. "I am your stepmother and you will respect me." Clarice demanded of him, holding her ground firm. "You don't deserve my respect." Lucas said looking away once again. He hated to even think of her as his step mother. She was nothing like his real mother. Instead she was manipulative and used his father just to get her way. "Well if you aren't going to respect me, then why are you here? You get paid enough to move out on your own. Oh wait but then you couldn't buy your stupid games, and that might just kill you sooner than your stupid illness will. You realize they won't be able to cure it, why bother? You are just wasting your fathers time and hard earned money by being alive." A low blow and she knew it too. Lucas wouldn't give her the satisfaction of a reaction though. "If I could move out I would, I would get as far away as I could from you and your poisonous attitude. But we can't all have our way. You know as well as I do that I can't move out cause I can't do much anymore outside the house. I can't live like that. So you will just have to put up with me for a few more years until I die and then you will be alone and miserable because my father in his grief will realize his mistake in marrying you and leave you." Lucas stated in a cold tone as he sat down on his bed, put the atmosphere on, and was whisked away from his step mother into the fantasy world he so longed to be in. Recalling on that conversation, and the discussion Clarice was probably going to have with his father when he got home, caused Lucas to push himself harder. Taking out all his anger in training, trying to boost his stats, trying to be the best that there was. Trying to leave a legacy in one of these games before he died. He was going to do it. While the rest of the players teamed up and discussed plans Lucas was going to be here training until he could move forward to the next area, and so on and so forth. All the rage from everything that went wrong in his life, he would turn it into the strength needed to beat this game. He would do it no matter what. In her tears and hysteria Samantha finally got around to looking at the item that she had gotten when the figure was talking. It was supposed to be something to evolve her weapon right? Samantha opened her menu and selected her weapon so it fell into her lap and stared at it and the potion. She had no idea what to do with the two items. So far in this game all Samantha knew how to do was open the menu. When she started playing she learned that, explored a bit, then intended on logging out before doing anything really. But when she went to log out, it seemed as though she couldn't find the button to do so. Samantha thought she was just too stupid about video games and was not able to find it. She had searched her menu for a good hour before giving up and just sitting in a field for a bit exploring her equipment that she had started with, waiting for someone to come along to ask about the log out button. However that didn't happen before she got teleported to the Circle of Judgement. While some people were freaking out, others were leaving, while others still were forming teams. But the teams seemed to want people who knew what they were doing. Samantha did not. This was a problem given she had no idea what to do or where to go. She was going to die here just like Seth died in SAO. There was no way with her lack of knowledge of video games that she would survive long, especially since no where seemed to be safe for her to stay. So Samantha stayed kneeling on the ground, tears still soaking her face, staring at the bow and the potion in her lap, trying to figure out what she was supposed to do with the items. How they actually worked.
Samantha stood in the square listening to what the man had to say. Her knees began to shake and as he disappeared she fell to the ground, crying. She was scared, oh goodness she was scared. How could she be in this situation? No everything was supposed to be fine now, it was supposed to be safe now. Samantha never intended on spending much time in the game, she just wanted to see why her brother was so obsessed with these kinds of games. Now she was here. She was going to die too wasn't she? Samantha was never good with video games and never trained with a weapon, unlike her brother. Seth was a gamer, he also trained with some of the guards around their home to keep in shape. Samantha liked to keep to herself and read. This was horrible. What was she going to do? Samantha began to sob, softly curled up on the ground. How did she end up like this? How could it happen to her. She was thirteen, not even a young woman, and this was going to be how it ended for her, wasn't it? Seth couldn't survive SAO, how could she survive this? "Please Seth, give me strength. I want to see you again but I don't want to die like this. What do I do?" Samantha whispered softly, talking to her dead brother. How could her life go downhill so fast, ever since he got trapped in the game... no ever since it killed him her life was slowly getting worse, and now this. At least she knew her parents wouldn't miss her too much given that they never paid attention to her, instead too focused on work and grieving for Seth. She was alone in the real world, and now she was alone here, except for her summon. The only difference was that the threat of death here was a lot more real than the death threats that her family received at home. "Hmph, so another death game is it? That would make three of three for me now. Well Clarice here is another chance for you to try to kill me when I can't defend myself. Lets see if you are able to convince dad to stop my treatment before I get out of this game. I survived the last two, I am going to survive this one as well." Lucas stated as he stood in the middle of the crowd showing no where near as bad of a reaction as most. He merely declared a challenge to his step mother in the real world who was probably already plotting his demise. She hated him because he reminded his father why he loved his real mother, why he loved him and would rather care for him than pay attention to her. If Clarice had her way he would be off his treatment and dying so the money spent on it could be spent on her. Lucas also didn't expect for his bank account to still be full when he woke up. When he wasn't stuck in a death game she would steal from him, when he was it was worse. Getting annoyed with the frantic crowd Lucas simply walked away from everyone, summoning his new lance to examine it. "Well this seems nice. Haven't tried a lance before. It could be fun really. I will become even stronger here than ever in SAO, and with Hercules at my side nothing will stop me." He stated with a slight smirk on his face. He would rather this game kill him than his step mother get her way and kill him. But if Lucas could help it neither would happen, instead he would get out, likely continue with his VRMMO's until the day Cancer finally claimed him, but his doctors said it wouldn't be for a few years at least. A few years that would be spent creating the strongest avatar he could. Each game he got stronger and one day he would be the next Kirito, the next one everyone looks up to and is impressed by their ability. He would be the best in a game one day. That was his goal before he died.

Username: Seth's Angel Real name: Samantha (Sammy) Appearance: here Gender: Female Age: 13 Weapon Choice 1: Bow- Longbow Weapon Choice 2: Knife- Dagger Summon: The archangel Michael Race: Reaper Personality: Timid, and scared, but Samantha really just wants to help people. She is Naive and far too trusting of people, not really a good judge of character. Easily manipulated as well without even realizing it at first. Bio:Samantha lost her older brother to the game Sword Art Online less than a month before it ended. After that Samantha promised herself that she would stay clear of any video games at all, proclaiming they were all evil, especially after seeing how hard the loss of her brother was on their family. The strong relationship she once had with her parents was gone. In their grieving they locked her out of their lives instead of drawing her closer for comfort. Instead focusing on their jobs to get them through the hard times. Eventually Samantha's curiosity grew on what made her brother so attracted to VRMMO's. It had been long enough since an incident that Samantha was starting to believe that they were really safe. The GGO incident had her on edge, but after extensive research into that she figured that her families home in a small village wouldn't make them a good target, after all it wasn't just out of the way of most people, but well guarded as well. Samantha's family was wealthy and her father head of a major company, however that being said, living in a city made them a target for violence and crime, so her father found a way to monitor and run his company from elsewhere, where his family would be safe and protected. However the protection went so far as to lock her and her brother Seth in a lot of the time, meaning they only had each other for company. With him gone and her parents pushing her out, should couldn't help but reach for the gear that had killed her brother, entering a new game that she found online. Samantha was still very scared going into the game, but she had to know what her brother loved about VRMMO's, so she forced herself forward into creating a character, the name a tribute to her brother. She decided to choice a Reaper class due to the healing quality. If something did go wrong then maybe she would be able to save people by healing them. She could fix them. Then no one would die like Seth did. She would save everyone she could. After all she had never wielded any sort of weapon before so she would be kind of useless there.

Bio: Lucas hates the real world. He hates it for killing his mother in a horrible car accident. He hates it for allowing his father to marry such an entitled b*tch who simply uses his father for money and could care less if he existed. He hates it for allowing him to be riddled with cancer. He hated it for everything. When Virtual Reality became a thing he didn't hesitate to spend all his carefully horded money on the system and the new game Sword Art Online, that would allow him to escape his hell hole of a life. When he got trapped in the game, he was not concerned about the game killing him, instead his step mother. He was convinced that she would convince his father that maintaining his cancer treatment when he was in such a state and likely to die anyways would be useless, and that he should save the money. He thought that one day he would fade from the game as his body gave out due to lack of any sort of treatment. This however didn't come to pass, he made it though SAO, and lived, with his cancer treatment still going despite the uselessness of the situation or so it seemed. Despite the events of SAO Lucas continued to buy and play every VRMMO that he came across, strengthening every character he got to the highest he could. Strength in the game to make up for his failing strength in reality. He was able to spend more and more time in game as his sickness made it so he couldn't work or really do anything. If he wasn't in a hospital bed, he was at home in bed, resting is what the doctors called it, but he knew the truth. Lucas was just waiting to die. Waiting till the day that the doctors exhausted the last option or his father ran out of money and he died. But that no longer mattered to him anymore. What mattered to him was his avatars, his characters, his life he built inside the videogames. One that no one knew about his sickness or his crap life, or anything. He was someone completely new. That being said there was nothing stopping him from buying Summon Arc Online and starting it immediately. Special Skill: [LOCKED] - This cant be done just yet... Past VRMMOs: SAO, ALO, GGO Other:
"No it doesn't.... I mean I know how to make one that does help with motion sickness. Do you want me to make you one? I can if you like." Silvia offered even though she thought this was boring him to just watch her do stuff like this. It was boring to do, that being said she didn't mind doing it anyways so she would do it if he wanted her too, she was just worried about everything, all the time for no real reason. It was kinda drilled into her, being a kid with no friends and who nearly died, to worry about every small thing ever. As she waited for Leo's response she began to dig though her bag for the herbs she would need to make a tonic to help with the motion sickness. Thea jumped at the hand on her shoulder. She looked at the girls note and shook her head. Thea was scared and jumpy right now and she didn't understand what Dawn meant by Lunar Eclipse, and just by being with Damian caused Thea to be nervous with Dawn. "N-n-no. It is okay. I am just going to find someone to help me find my father that knows there way around. T-t-thank you." She stammered before running into the crowd. She started to see a few familiar faces but didn't really pay that much attention until she got to the other side of the room away from Dawn. "Um can someone please help me find my way home and to my father." She said again, being sure it was quiet enough that there was no way of Dawn hearing it over the crowd, but hopefully loud enough that someone in that tavern would hear her and get her back to Vance. She was safe with Vance, nothing had gone wrong around him and he could help her get home and feel better. Though Thea was scared and upset she did her best not to cry and hide how close she was to crying.
No one with ample healing power was around to help them, well not that was well enough to anyways. Freya, the goddess' daughter was not far away but she was spent, completely out of power for the time being, barely able to hold onto her consciousness. Gwen searched her mind frantically for someone else that could help them that she knew of, the solution to this problem. Then of course Hunter spoke. "Well I am glad that injury didn't effect your brain. Same old Hunter and your same old fantasies." She stated dryly. She was actually not interested in sex at this time, not when Hunter was bleeding out. Gwen felt hopeless, but then she remembered one other place to check for someone who might have a hidden healing power they weren't telling anyone about, the ooc. Instead however she found something better. New characters and one who was really good at healing, that was perfect. "Okay out you come, we need you here." She murmured as she grabbed the characters lingering presence and dragged them into the rp. Once there she looked at the girl. "Your character sheet said you are a healer. Heal him please before he bleeds out. Oh and don't mind anything he says." She instructed without offering any explanation. One hand remained on Alisia's back as she remained unmoving except for slight shaking, the other drew his sword. He wasn't going to push Alisia away for a fight based on verbal insults, but at the same time he wasn't going to let them slide without warning. Xander pointed the sword straight at Dane. "Safer with you? That is a laugh. If she was so much safer then why did every time I saw her, she was a little more broken? Why did she come back from a world, beaten so badly that she could barely move? I wouldn't exactly call that, you keeping her safe. The only reason you could lay a hand on her in the first place was the situation around her capture. You where caring her knocked out in such a way any fight would hurt her. I didn't know joining the rebellion we would be stuck with people such as you in order to think I had to be at her side every moment, even when looking at books across the hall from each other. She was not safer with you, you simply used her as a meat shield to keep me from frighting you to get her back. But now that is over. She will not leave my side while you are alive. I will keep her truly safe." Xander spoke in a cold tone the entire time. The sword swung over to point at Xross soon after. "As for you and all your comments. You insult but never do anything to help. You are almost as bad as he is, just letting this happen all the time. Perhaps you should share his fate." Xander's eyes narrowed. Both of them would die, he would kill him, just not with Alisia like this. More bloodshed would just make things worse for her and he wouldn't have that. He would make sure she is safe and away from the battle before killing them. Wait until the day she could stop trembling all the time, and could for once again, think for herself.
Trevor sat at the bar, downing the first drink he had ordered before moving onto a second of the same thing without really caring too much. It seemed that George didn't even care to take over a drunk body, and Derk was incapable of a forceful takeover, except in battle. This was good, he could drink as much as he wanted, it didn't matter. He was going to take full advantage of that. His eyes still scanned the room at times but each time he got less observant and didn't care as much. He pretty much didn't even notice when the young girl stumbled into the bar as he was starting on his fourth drink already. Soon after leaving Skadi and Tessa, Thea had found herself lost. She didn't really have much of a clue where they were in the first place, she was just following Skadi. And then when she had gotten scared she didn't even think about that as she walked away until it was too late to do anything about it. The young girl bit her lip as she looked around her trying to recognize something, anything, but she couldn't. So Thea decided to do what she thought was the most logical thing to do in this situation, go to the closest business and ask for help to get back to the guild hall. Thea nervously stepped into the closest building, some local tavern. She didn't really leave the entry way or look up to see that her guild was there. Instead she kept her eyes to the ground and took a deep breath to calm her nerves before speaking. "Excuse me. I am lost, can anyone help me find the way back to my guild hall." Her voice was soft and quiet meaning not many people would hear her among the noise of the tavern unless they were near her. This place was making her just as nervous, no, more nervous and scared than Damian had made her, but there was no turning back now. What else could she do? She was lost and if she kept walking she would only get more lost. She needed someone to guild her home, take her back to her father. She just hoped that someone here would be nice enough to do so.
"Oooh so scary a bunny with keyblades. Guess what buddy, it is three against one. The odds don't stack well in your favour. I feel like I don't have to tell you anything really, and if that is the problem then BITE ME!" Karina taunted summoning her own keyblade to her hand. "Besides I bet I could beat you alone, I don't even need these losers help, but I guess I will take it if I can't get rid of them after all." Karina talked with a great amount of ease and uncaringness in her voice. Karina didn't even look tense as she swung her keyblade around in front of her a bit, like she was checking the balance of it or something. If this bunny was going to try to taunt her, she would not buy it, instead she would act and show clearly she could care less for his taunts or commands for information.
"So we divide into teams then? A small group of our more stealthy to go on recon. Meanwhile another small team questions the man again, preferably some of the nicer and more approachable people. Then we still have some people around to defend the city from the nobodies and keep people like him safe." Aedion jerked his head to the side in order to indicate to Yu beside him. He did that for two reasons. First being to make sure that Neoph was aware of the new person among them. And second to remind Yu of the danger that he had gotten himself into earlier that day. Aedion knew it wasn't really his place to take any sort of charge here, but he also knew the help of laying out simple details for people to follow. He would let Neoph break up the teams but he knew that it would have to be specified not to send everyone to one place at once during this stage, it would be stupid. Though he wouldn't say anything like that to Neoph, instead he masked it in just smoothing out the orders a bit. Perhaps one of these days Aedion could get Neoph to recognize him like a second in command, after all, he did provide a great deal of funding for the organization, as well as a lot of planning. Aedion was brought up with above average education, in part focusing on a tactical mind set. On top of this he was also brought up with a great deal of combat training, given the wealthy tend to be targets for bigger, more dangerous crimes. All that being said he had a good upbringing despite the cold attitude that his father forced onto him. He was more than suited for the role of second in command of this little group, considering the business empire he would inherit when his father died or decided to step down.
*sigh* such a difficult time to add more characters. I am at church so after I will add you to the Skype group and we can discuss just how to fit you in. You may or may not have to wait a bit to really get stared though, just as a warning. We ar in the middle of an important part and to have them just appear there is a bit weird, but we can find other ways.
"Oh this? It is nothing special, it is just to help with pains, like headaches and stuff. Nothing that big." Silvia replied as she looked at her tonic. She used to have to make plenty of those tonics, her mother always had headaches. She claimed it was from the stress of running the shop and raising a child with little money to her name, however Silvia eventually figured out that she was using it to try to do more, numb some sort of emotional pain that she refused to speak of. Her mother used to have to use dangerous amounts of it because of how intolerant her body was to the medication. Silvia shook her head trying not to think about that. "The other stuff I measured out was for a tonic to help with coughs and colds. But I could put that one away for now if you want. We could do something a little less boring..... That is only if you want to I mean." Silvia said in a shy voice as she kept her eyes on the table and tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear. As they approached Damian and the girl with him, Damian began to talk to them in a strange manner. He had also addressed her by name, but Thea did not remember ever meeting this man before. She slowly backed away from him and shuttered. She wouldn't look him in the eye either, she wouldn't look anyone in the eye. Thea wanted to tell Skadi that she was scared and wanted to leave but thought that it might be rude. However Thea had not noticed the distance she already put between herself and everyone else as she was backing off. Soon enough there was a great enough distance she felt too embarrassed to just walk back over like nothing happened, so instead she turned to walk away. "Sorry." She whispered before she began walking further down the road that they had been following up to the point that they heard Damian and stopped. She didn't know what she would find beyond, but it was time for her to explore. Thomas used Thunder After what Trevor was pretty sure was a nap, he finally emerged from his room, needing to get out of the damn guild hall for a bit. He had been stuck there since the mission with Gexln and Leo and needed to do something else, and since Evenora clearly didn't trust him to keep his personalities in line with a new set of recruits, he was stranded. That being said, as he was getting up he thought he might have heard something about Edric inviting them all to a tavern. Perhaps he would go check it out. It didn't take long for Trevor to arrive where a majority of the rest of the guild was.Trevor scanned the crowd before deciding there was no one there worth his attention. He walked over to the bar, keeping his head low so his hair seemed to shade his face. "Give me something strong." He ordered without specifying what he wanted. Really he didn't care. As long as he could keep in control enough to keep Derk from coming out it would be fine. He was in the mood to forget everything so off to drinking he went. After what happened with George, Boreal, and Dale, he didn't feel like he could face anyone. He just needed to hide for a bit, so chose the most inappropriate way to do so, especially given his mental health. But at this point however he could care less. He was sure someone there was responsible enough to handle Derk if he and George both happened to slip up with keeping that psycho personality under check. Or at least he hoped. Oh how he sometimes wished that he could just get rid of it all together, but truth be told, Derk was useful in fighting, especially when it came to mindless slaughter of a lot of monsters that just became tedious. Anything that needed strategy, he would handle himself. While waiting for his drink Trevor did a quick scan of the room, taking in his guild mates as well as the other people around that were not part of the guild but seemed more than comfortable talking to members of Sapphire Eclipse. He just hoped that no one would try to talk to him, or lady try to sway him for that matter, given his mind set it was possible it wouldn't be too hard, especially if he ended up drinking one too many, which was also possible. That being said when was the last time he had female company. It might be nice for a change if George or Derk didn't scare them off first.
Spoiler: Bonus Character As Ana and Glen flew together in their Luxury gummi ship, a figure appeared floating in front of them. Unbeknownst to the two in the cockpit, Glen had pushed a certain button with a specific purpose, one very personal for Ana. The button that had been pushed had brought down a disco ball and played music, but it also did something else. See the music and lights were not just for fun, no, a person came along with it. As they neared the figure it was revealed to be a man named Goku, who was summoned to the ship when the disco lights and music went off. "Hey baby." The dark haired male said as he looked through the glass waiting for Ana to open up the cockpit for him. That however was when he spotted Glen. "What the hell do you think you are doing with my woman?" The man's hair turned bright yellow and seemed to burn with flames. "KAME.......(three episodes later).... HAME......(Another four episodes later).... HA!!!!!!!!!" A giant laser type attack blasted from Goku's hands and straight at Glen, incinerating him on the spot, but somehow not harming the ship or Ana. "Now that he is taken care of, shall we?" Goku winked at Ana, not even bothered with what he had just done. Spoiler: Bonus Character PS. This is an abridged post. Alisia could only watch as Xander begged for her safety and as Dane asked for help from the hero. She was slightly startled and out of it when the hero ended up addressing her. There wasn't much to do about the situation, she was free now thoug, that was what she wanted, wasn't it. However part of her still felt bad for Dane, from what he told her about his past and what he was, who he was. Besides he didn't treat her bad for the most part, well except when she tried to escape, she could still feel a bit of the pain from that beating. Slowly and cautiously Alisia stepped forward. One thing that stayed the same since the moment that Dane took her was the emptiness she felt. The inablility to do much on her own. She constantly felt lost and broken, perhaps that is why she allowed Dane in, allowed him to make her feel sorry for him. Xander walked forward as Alisia made her way over to him. Meeting her in the middle, Xander embraced Alisia, placing his hand on her head as he hugged her with his other arm. "I have got you now. I am so sorry I couldn't rescue you on my own, by my own power. I am sure you have been through so much. The Hero is released now though, so you can go home. I will bring you home I promise then we will fix everything." He promised her softly. Each time he saw her it seemed that her mental state had gotten worse, but now he would find a way to fix it. He had to find a way. Alisia didn't say anything to respond, only buried her head in Xanders chest. She didn't cry, she couldn't cry, there was no tears left. She didn't know what else to do but let his comforting voice sink deep into her bone and calm her shaking. She wanted to speak but couldn't find the will to move her mouth. After a moment she wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him back. In truth she was scared of what was going to happen now, so she kept her head buried so she didn't have to look at anyone. Gwen sighed as Hunter went to try to take on the Hero. Xindai of course didn't allow that and messed up Hunters arm rather badly. And that was an understatement, his arm was pretty much nonexistent. "See this is what you get for being so reckless. What were you aiming for, to end up like Beuce with a missing arm that needed replaced? You men, do you even have brains? I mean seriously. I would rather not get used to having you around with only one arm, that won't be as fun. But I will do whatever I must I guess." Gwen sighed and shook her head. "Alright who here has good healing magic? We could use that right now to fix this wound here." Gwen shouted to the rest of the people in LvD that were in range to hear her.
Username: Aelin Fireheart Character Name: Alexis Ackerman Age: 19 Level: 7 Appearance: ~~ Weapons/Items/Abilities: A Long Sword Power of Suggestion Sexual Inducement Siren Song A dagger Special Ability: Parallel universe. Alexis can create an illusion of a parallel universe in which she has complete control over. She can trap her target in it for a short time, though they have their own free will it can create a better plain for her other powers to become more useful. Short History: Alexis was orphaned at five and left on the streets. It wasn't long before a man found her, a bad man. He brought her to somewhere she assumed that would be her new home, but that was rather short lived when she got sold out to a home but not as a normal servant. She was forced into a different type of trade, by a human trafficking company. However being so young at this time she adjusted to her life pretty quick becoming adapted to it and as time went on even wanting it, playing to part and convincing people to get closer to her. This however was when her powers bloomed, beautiful and perfect for Alexis, however as her owners began to realize what she could do, that it wasn't always their own will at work they would throw her out, sell her once again. Alexis got thrown from one place to the next occasionally picking up different things on the way, for example how to use her sword and dagger that she now carries. However the story was ever the same with the owner discovering her powers and kicking her back to the street, taking back anything they ever gave her, except her last owner. He threw her out on the streets but took pity on her. He did not sell her again and left her with nothing but he was unwilling to watch the beautiful young seventeen year old get used, abused and ultimately killed while on the streets, so he provided her with two weapons, a sword and a dagger before throwing her out. Alexis then lasted the next two years on her own on the streets, using her weapons to keep herself safe, and using men to keep well fed and warm thanks to her powers and lack of clothing that she wore. She eventually heard from one of them about this tower of power. She could only imagine what would be awaiting at the end, what sort of prizes and luxuries would await her. Finally a chance to get out of the life she lived. Only if she could reach the tower heights and win. Other: She is Bisexual
Thea nodded as her smile widened, Skadi sharing the same excitement as her. Then the other girl that she was with congratulated her as well. "Thank you, miss." Thea said with a small bow added at the end. She was glad that Skadi didn't really question anything too much. She did comment on wondering how he did it but Thea didn't quite understand what she meant by that so ignored the comment. "Yeah he said that I could call him father and everything." Thea then added as she looked up at Skadi with a gleam in her eye. When it came to the voice that they were hearing Thea decided to fall back and trail, acting slightly shy. She didn't know who they would find or what they would be like so she didn't feel comfortable taking the lead or being anywhere near the front for that matter. The girl kept her hands clasped in front of her and her mouth shut as they decided where to go and what to do about it. She would stick to the back and only talk if necessary, that seemed like a good plan to her.
