OH GOD WHY AM I DOING THIS?! NO, HANDS, STOP TYPING- The RP

You are an ordinary character, going about your ordinary life in a universe that is perfectly ordinary -- for you, anyway. Then, one night, you go to bed. When you wake up, there is grass under you. Depending on where you came from, this may be normal, or it may not be. At any rate, your surroundings most certainly are not. For you see, behind you is a hole in the ground. And not just any hole in the ground, I might add.

In that hole in the ground, there lives a hobbit.[/align]

Okay. Just like the previous version of the same RP. But with me at the helm, so expect 150% more chaos. And 20% more coolness.

DA STORY: Something -- you don't yet get to know what -- has taken ordinary characters out of various parts of the multiverse and dropped them off in front of Bag End. You can be be any character from any book, TV show, movie, comic, or NS roleplay, with a catch: they must be an OC. So you can be a crew member from the Enterprise, but not Spock. You can't be The Doctor, but you can be a Dalek. No established characters unless they're taken from a roleplay and you made said character up. Why? Because the established characters are going to be NPCs, probably. Or not. Some of them will, anyway. You can also use more poorly characterized characters from any form of entertainment ever, unless they are the Creator's Pet. You can also tweak preexisting characters of yours. They can literally come from any RP you've ever done, so long as the link isn't dead. (Except chat-based RPs. Then I'll take your word for it.)

Unlike the previous RP, this will NOT be a Dice RP, since the concept of this RP and the concept of a DiceRP clash. Thus, the apps will be different.

Olthar wrote:Name: Sarina
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Lesbian
Species: Nekomimi
Home Universe: Elfen High
Appearance/Description: Link
Melee Weapon: Nekomimi Ancestral Hammer
Long-Range Weapon: None
Abilities: As a Nekomimi, she has increased strength, speed, durability, agility, and flexibility and an inherent access to Hammerspace. She is, however, pretty standard for one of her species and has no other notable abilities. Though, her sheer unbelievable levels of horrid when it comes to cooking could be considered some sort of superpower.

Dislikes: Mean people, things that make her think to hard
Bio:Three years ago, on the outskirts of a rural town in Minnesota, during a meteor shower, an old couple living on a farm had a meteor crash land in their corn field. However, when they went to investigate the crater, instead of a rock, they found a young cat girl curled up in a ball. Unsure of who she was or where she came from, they decided to take her in. Quickly becoming attached to her cheerful and upbeat personality, the two decided to adopt her and raise her as their own, despite her non-human origin.

For the two months until school started, Sarina, or Sari-chan as she likes to be called after discovering anime, lived on and worked on the farm. She couldn't remember anything before waking up in her new parents' house, but she didn't much care. She was simply content to live her life as a regular farm girl, working the fields and tending the animals. Of course, her super-human abilities helped her out in that regard, and she was able to work longer and harder than anyone else, which she did with much enthusiasm. She felt like she needed to pay the old couple back for their kindness and hospitality. However, those two months passed quickly, and when autumn rolled around, Sari-chan's parents decided to send her off to school to meet other kids her age (sort of) and learn more about Earth.

School was not fun. At all. For as much as she tried to maintain a cheerful and friendly attitude towards her classmates, Sari-chan would often times come home crying after being tormented by the other children for being a "supernatural freak." She never struck back and never gave up trying to be friendly, but it was all in vain. Even the teachers abused her and said that this was a human school for humans. Eventually, her parents took her out of that school and tried sending her to another, but it was all the same. For a month, Sari-chan hopped from school to school until there were none left. Finally, with no other options left, they just decided to home school her.

The next couple years were pretty unremarkable. Sari-chan continued living on the farm, isolated from the rest of the world with her parents, learning from old books borrowed from the library. She also became enamored with TV shows from 10-20 years ago, especially anime, watching them whenever she could. She actually discovered her power to utilize Hammerspace one time while imitating a scene from an anime by accidentally pulling out a real hammer.

Since then, she's pulled out everything she had in her Hammerspace and found several items from her life before reaching Earth: her hammer, a crescent moon necklace, a stuffed cat doll, and a puzzle box. The hammer seems be made from some sort of bizarre, pseudo-metallic substance that is remarkably hard but possesses no other obvious features. The amulet is also made of the same substance and seems to hold some sort of importance that she just can't remember. The first time she laid eyes upon the doll, Sari-chan burst into tears, but she didn't know why. There was something in the back of her mind niggling away, but it would always vanish when she tried grasping for it in search of answers. Nevertheless, despite being unable to look at or even think about the doll without tearing up, she feels compelled to keep it at all times. As for the box, that is a mystery to her. She knows that it holds answers that she seeks, but she just can't open it. She's spent countless hours working the mechanisms, but nothing seems to work. She figures that the box likely can't be opened unless she regains her memories about it. In fact, she seems to be the only one who can even use it as it's simply too alien for regular humans to understand.

After a while, Sari-chan's parents discovered a school in England by the name of "Elfen High" where everyone, even the supernatural, is accepted. Eventually, they managed to save up enough money (and convince Sari-chan to give school another chance) to send her there. She doesn't exactly have high hopes, but she still can't help but feel optimistic about it.

Name: Blanchefleur "Blanche" Delacroix
Gender: Hermaphrodite, though identifies as female
Sexuality: Lesbian
Species: Human
Home Universe: Elementals: The Return of Kayarost
Appearance/Description: Link
Melee Weapon: None
Long-Range Weapon: None
Abilities: Blanche is a trained alchemist and also possesses elemental powers over metal.
Likes: Alchemy, reading, studying, learning, being alone, magic, helping people, being a nerd
Dislikes: Sports, physical activity, bullies
Short Bio: Born in the city of Galabow, Blanchefleur Delacroix lead a pretty decent life. Her family didn't have much money, but they had enough to live comfortably and send both her and her two sisters to school. Unfortunately, when she was fifteen, her father was caught up as a bystander in a bank robbery and ended up with a knife in the gut. He died shortly thereafter. The family started falling apart without his income, especially since Blanche's mother couldn't hold down a steady job. To help the family stay afloat, Blanche dropped out of school and found a job as an alchemist's apprentice.

For the next three years, she help support her mother and two sisters, quickly learning everything there was to know about alchemy. While things were still tough at home, Blanche greatly enjoyed her job and picked it up with surprising ease. Things were looking up again, but then something else happened: she began developing magical powers. Though virtually unnoticeable at first, Blanche eventually discovered that she was a metal elemental. When the master alchemist found out about this, he suggested that she leave on a journey to discover the full potential of her powers so that she could return as use them to do more good than she otherwise could by simply brewing potions. After thinking about it for a while, Blanche told her family. They were saddened by the idea of her leaving, but they agreed that it was for the best. With that, she packed some essentials and left Galabow to explore the world.

Name: Scruffy
Gender: Beyond comprehension
Sexuality: Beyond comprehension
Species: Eldritch Horror
Home Universe: Shazzridar's Tower?
Appearance/Description: Scruffy is some sort of shapeless horror from beyond the stars that, in its true form, defies logic and is thoroughly beyond comprehension. It has, however, adopted a more terrestrial form while living amongst the lesser creatures. Its base form is that of a wolf, but it is unlike any wolf that anyone has ever seen. It has black, almost gooey flesh that seems to be constantly and slowly shifting and moving from one area of its body to another. It's also considerably larger than most wolves. Its face is...different. It's like a caricature of a wolf but with the eyes replaced by empty, soulless sockets. Instead, Scruffy's eyes pop up at random all over its body, and it often has at least half a dozen at a time. Other forms are similarly designed around the base creature, but in all of them, one thing remains constant: Scruffy proudly wears an MVP medal that it won for being the only competent member of the party. This medal also seems to usually be located on its chest, indicating an understanding about them.
Melee Weapon: None
Long-Range Weapon: None
Abilities: Scruffy's abilities change with its form as it adopts the characteristics of whatever shape it takes, but three things remain constant. First, Scruffy is always more physically powerful than whatever form its in. Second, it is highly resistant to magic, both from enemies and friends. Third, Scruffy emits an Aura of Insanity that drives people mad whenever they see it reveal a bit of its true nature.
Likes: Unknown
Dislikes: Unknown
Short Bio: Scruffy's first known appearance was as the "pet" of a ranger named Samuel. No one really knows where it came from or what its goals are, but it seems to have some invested interest in the party as it follows and defends them.

Liriena wrote:Name: Celestine Nuarvan
Gender: Male
Sexuality: FAAABULOUS
Species: Hume (because, apparently, the creators of Final Fantasy XII thought it was "cool" or something to call humans "hume")
Abilities: He's as fast, strong and agile as any Archadian Judge. Other than that, he is really good with both the spear and the gun, and he could probably learn to use almost any other weapon efficiently if he wanted to. He has some basic knowledge of what his world calls black, white, green and time magic, and can cast some moderately powerful spells in battle to weaken and kill his enemies, or cure and protect himself. Nothing groundbreaking. He can't blow an entire city to pieces, he can't cast a shield that would protect him from the Apocalypse, and he can't cure cancer or bring himself back from the dead.

Melee weapon:(Image)
Long-range weapon:(Image)
Likes: Children, furry animals, sweets, wine, traveling by airship, reading poetry, killing scaly creatures, fighting for the glory of the Empire, and lots of kinky gay sex on the beach or the desert.
Dislikes: Rozarrians, Dalmascan rebels, insolence, scaly creatures, vegetables and chocobos.
Short bio: Born in the Imperial City of Archades twenty-four years ago, Celestine was born into a very prosper and loving middle class family. The third son out of four, he was not particularly spoiled or neglected, so he was lucky to grow up with little to no childhood traumas, asides from a very disturbing incident involving a chocobo, which left him with an intense phobia towards the beautiful big birds.
At the age of sixteen he came out to his parents telling them, and I quote: "I prefer flat breasts and no ditches." His parents' reaction was swift and concise: his father offered to marry him to a wealthy businessman, and his mother suggested that he moved to Dalmasca, where "boys are cuter and easier to get drunk".
While his father wanted Celestine to become a businessman like him, Celestine eventually decided to join the military of the Archadian Empire, and pursue his dream of becoming one of the Empire's prestigious Judges, the de facto guardians of law and order in the Archadian Empire. To the surprise of all, including the Imperial Army, he got accepted, and spent the next four years traveling around the world of Ivalice, fighting in the war against the kingdoms of Nabradia and Dalmasca.
Finally, after receiving a medal for his outstanding performance in the Battle of Nalbina Fortress, he was finally given the chance to become a Judge, an opportunity that Celestine embraced wholeheartedly.
Everything after that joyous day, however can only be described as a series of disappointment.
While Celestine's dream of becoming a Judge did come true, he was mostly dedicated to bureaucratic work, thus losing the chance of participating in the events of Final Fantasy XII, up until the last chapter of it.
When the final battle over the skies of Rabanastre took place, Celestine was on board the Sky Fortress Bahamut. When the main characters infiltrated the fortress, Celestine was one of the first to try to find them and kill them. Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with the Bahamut's design, and got lost somewhere in the lower levels while the group fought against Emperor Vayne Solidor in the top level, killing him and the Occuria called Venat.
As the sky fortress began to fall apart, Celestine was able to escape in a small airship and land in Rabanastre.
After the end of the war, Celestine was given a medal for surviving, and got himself promoted to Judge Magister, effectively giving him his own little army to command. However, with no more wars to be fought between the kingdoms and empires of Ivalice, Celestine was forced to turn to wine, casual sex and running around the plains of Archadia killing wyrms and other creatures.
It was during one of his quite little kill-and-pillage walks that he decided to camp beside a few sleeping cactuars.
When he woke up the next morning, he found himself somewhere else...Somewhere really strange.

Short bio: Orion was born to Lord Andrew Kane and Lady Cassandra Kane, although they were killed in a suspicious boating accident in Morocco when Orion was 4. He does not remember much of his parents, and much of what he does remember has been borrowed from his photo albums and pieces of information in the family journals. Orion was sent to live with his kindly but stern Great Aunt, an English Grand Duchess, and her family, but she died soon after he arrived at the family palace. Orion's second cousins subsequently dumped him in King's College Chapel, in the University of Cambridge, when he was around 6, and, for some unknown reason, the scholars and masters of the colleges in Cambridge have all looked after him. Lyra Who? The Master of Saint Peter's College took him with him to the Scientific Institute of Berlin, where he was given, secretly, a golden compass-like machine by the well known explorer Lord Belacqua, an old friend of his parents, before the friendly count was killed a few days later. Over the next few years, and up until now, Orion has gained a basic understanding of it, and he has divulged in the Librarian of Cambridge, his favourite scholar, of it's existence. His daemon, Snowy, is a very important part of his life. Last year, Snowy began to settle, taking the form of a polar bear pup, although he is still sometimes prone to, completely out of the blue, changing.

Videssos wrote: Name: Rand al'Thor
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight, methinks.
Species: Human
Abilities: Can use the male half(Saidin) of the One Power, and is an unofficial Blademaster. Also trained in armed and unarmed combat with the Aiel. And can channel the True Power, from his connection with Moridin. Can also draw and play the flute, from his memories as Lews Therin. A passive ability is the way he makes things that are unnaturally likely or unlikely to happen, happen within a radius of few miles of him. This is due to his Ta'veren nature. Recently though, he's gone a bit darker, so it's mainly just rather unlikely bad stuff that happens a lot round him.
Appearance/Description: (Image)(Image)
Melee weapon: The Dragon Sword/Justice
Long-range weapon (Optional): The One Power, I guess. I'm not gonna bring the male Choedan Kal acess key, since that's way too overpowered. It can basically destroy the world, and Rand is pretty insane at the point I've taken him from in the books.
Likes: People who don't try and manipulate him, trap him or anything like that. Min, Elayne and Aviendha for obvious reasons. People who don't want him to die. Being mad. Ordering people. Some other stuff.

Everyone who doesn't obey him, and everyone who tries to hurt, imprison or manipulate him. Stuff like that.
Short bio: On Winternight, 998 NE, Trollocs attacked Emond's Field. Rand, Perrin, Mat, Egwene and Thom Merrilin were led out of Emond's Field by Moiraine Sedai and her Warder, Lan Mandragoran, Nynaeve al'Meara following on her own shortly thereafter ostensibly to "bring the children home." Thom was not a resident of the village, but a gleeman who happened to be in Emond's Field just then. It is during this journey that hints are given that Rand can channel; when he gets goose bumps on his arms when Moiraine channels near him and when the group are healed from their fatigue but Bela is perfect as Rand already healed the horse (for which he suffers a bout of reckless bravado with a trio of Whitecloaks). His first big use of saidin is when the Darkfriend Howal Gode tries to attack Rand and Mat. Rand blasts a hole in the wall, blinding Mat temporarily. He then suffers flu-like symptoms after this heavy use of the One Power.

Lan began teaching Rand the sword; Rand has since achieved a high enough level of skill to be considered a blademaster. Along with Loial, the Ogier, Moiraine led them to the Eye of the World in the Blight. Rand killed Aginor there, tapping into the Eye's pure saidin.[6] He then defeated Ba'alzamon and was convinced he had killed the Dark One; he also helped out during the battle in Tarwin's Gap, helping the Shienarans win. On their arrival at Fal Dara, Rand was told by the Amyrlin Seat, Siuan Sanche, that he is the Dragon Reborn - an accusation which he did not believe at that time. It was also at this time that he was told about his true heritage.

After the Horn of Valere was stolen, Rand, Mat, Perrin and Loial accompanied Ingtar Shinowa and the Shienarans to reclaim it.[7] During this journey, his palms were branded with two herons,[8] two of the marks of the Dragon Reborn. At Falme Rand and Ba'alzamon fought once again, this time in the sky. Meanwhile, down below, Mat blew the horn of Valere, summoning the heroes of old to fight against the Seanchan.

This is where Rand reveals the Dragon Banner. During this battle, Rand does the sword form Heron Wading in the Rushes, which opens his defenses and allows Ba'alzamon to strike home with his staff leaving Rand with a wound in his left side that has never healed.[9] While Heron Wading in the Rushes provides Rand with a malignant wound, it also allowed him to defeat Ba'alzamon in single combat.[10] This battle proclaimed him as the Dragon Reborn, a fact Rand finally accepts.[11]
The Dragon Reborn
"Come against me, if you dare! I am the storm! Come if you dare, Shai'tan! I am the Dragon Reborn!"
—Rand (The Path of Daggers, Chapter 24)

That winter, he camped with Moiraine, Perrin, Min Farshaw, and the Shienarans. Concerned for the safety of his friends upon learning that Ba'alzamon still hunted him, Rand journeyed to Tear alone,[12] deciding this quest would end or begin his life. In the Stone of Tear, he took the blade Callandor, fulfilling a major prophecy and confirming his identity as Dragon Reborn in the minds of many, including himself. During this battle, he finally killed Ba'alzamon (Ishamael).[13] It is after this that Egwene tells Rand that she loves him only as a brother now, for which he is relieved as he feels the same. This lets Elayne confess her feelings for Rand which Rand reciprocates and they kiss for the first time. The girls also work out that Rand can feel, via goosebumps on his arms, when a woman is touching saidar.

To Rhuidean

Using the twisted redstone doorway in the Stone's cache of ter'angreal, Rand visits the Aelfinn and obtains answers to three questions regarding his future; perhaps due to the nature of his questions, he barely escapes alive.[14] He then set out with Mat, Egwene and Moiraine, and a thousand-plus Aiel warriors, via a Portal Stone to the Aiel Waste,[15] seeking the endorsement of the Aiel as their Car'a'carn, literally a "chief of chiefs."
Car'a'carnRand receives the dragon tattoos that mark him Car'a'carn

He was allowed to enter Rhuidean, where he learned the true origins of the Aiel; that they were once a peaceful people, sworn to do no harm, and aid the Aes Sedai.[16] When he emerged, he was declared as He Who Comes with the Dawn with a dragon on each arm.[17] However, his revelation to the Aiel of their past has nearly destroyed them; the bleakness continues to drive many hardened Aiel soldiers to throw down their spears every day.

He later battled the Forsaken Asmodean in Rhuidean, successfully cutting his ties to the Dark One.[18] There he found the male and female access keys to the Choedan Kal. Lanfear then shielded Asmodean so he could only channel a trickle, and forced the male Forsaken to teach him the use of saidin. This was a desperate choice, Rand knew that if anyone discovered he was learning from the Forsaken he might lose the fragile following he had achieved so far.

The Lord Dragon
"I am the Dragon Reborn. Denying won’t change it. Wishing won’t change it. I’m not the man you knew back in Emond’s Field. Do you understand now? Do you?"
—Rand (Lord of Chaos, Chapter 10)

Leading the Aiel out of the Three-Fold Land, he took Cairhien and Caemlyn, killing Rahvin.[19] During this same time, Moiraine Sedai and Lanfear were both apparently killed when they fell through a ter'angreal.[20] After taking Caemlyn, he announced an amnesty for all male channelers. This brought Mazrim Taim, a former false Dragon, into his service.[21] Taim has aided Rand by training the male channelers who come to him. These men become Asha'man and their training ground is called the Black Tower, which is Rand's answer to the White Tower. Taim is the M'Hael, leader of the Tower, although his true intentions have yet to be revealed; it is speculated he is a Darkfriend of some authority and power.

Rand was then approached by embassies from the Aes Sedai in the White Tower under Elaida, from the Salidar faction and the Unaligned Sisters, most prominently among them the legendary Green Cadsuane Melaidhrin, who would come to play an immense role in his future. Elaida's embassy kidnapped him and shielded him. He escaped at Dumai's Wells, triggering a large and bloody battle, and has since forced many Aes Sedai on both sides to swear fealty to him.[22] With all that was happening around him, he has found it too difficult to cope with if he allows his emotions to exist, and so he has pushed them down and turned himself into stone, feeling nothing. It is this that Cadsuane is determined to reverse.
The Crown of Swords and the Seanchan

Rand took Illian using Davram Bashere's army and a group of Asha'man. During the attack, he drove out the Forsaken Sammael and followed him to Shadar Logoth, where the Forsaken was killed by Mashadar.[23] With the fall of Illian, the disappearance of Mattin Stepaneos den Balgar, and Rand's forced sale of grain to Illian from Tear, the Council of Nine declared Rand king.

After snuffing out Sammael's Illianer followers, Rand set his focus on the Seanchan, who had conquered neighboring Altara and had set their sights on Illian. In northern Altara, Rand's forces fought the Seanchan to a stalemate, driving the Hailene back to Ebou Dar temporarily, but causing heavy losses on Rand's side as well.[24]
Cleansing saidin

Later, Rand goes in disguise to Nynaeve using the alias Nuli and reveals his plan to her and asks for help to cleanse saidin. Elayne, Aviendha and Min all bond Rand as their warder. Min predicts that Elayne will get with child from Rand. Rand, Cadsuane, Nynaeve and the others of his party leave Far Madding to retrieve Callandor and Travel to Shadar Logoth. It is here that Rand puts into action his daring plan to cleanse the taint from saidin, using the evil within Shadar Logoth to battle that of the taint. Rand and Nynaeve link, using the power of the Choedan Kal sa'angreal and, while Cadsuane and the other Aes Sedai, Asha'man, and Windfinders hold off the inevitable attack by the Forsaken, succeed in removing the Dark One's hold over the male half of the Source.[25] Shadar Logoth is annihilated during the cleansing and nothing but a crater three miles across remains.
Aviendha Elayne and MinAl'Thor's women by Liz Stephanoff.

Realizing that he can't fight the Seanchan and the Shadow at the same time, Rand later sent Loial, Logain Ablar, and Bashere to Ebou Dar to negotiate a truce with the Seanchan.[26] They return with the news that the High Lady Suroth wants Rand to meet with the Daughter of the Nine Moons.
Meeting with Semirhage

The meeting, in a manor in the countryside, is a trap set by the Forsaken Semirhage, using the Mask of Mirrors to disguise herself as Tuon. As Rand is approaching, he identifies Semirhage because of Cadsuane's ter'angreal, but she attacks with the One Power before he has a chance to react. Semirhage sends a fireball in Rand's direction, and the blast hits his arm, causing him to lose his left hand.[3] Semirhage is captured and shielded. Rand sends the sul'dam and damane to Ebou Dar to inform the Daughter of the Nine Moons that the Dragon Reborn still wants to meet with her.

While captive, Semirhage alleges that Rand hearing the voice of Lews Therin Telamon in his head is a form of incurable insanity and is likely to end in his death.[3]
Pacifying Arad Doman

Most recently, Rand has moved large numbers of Aiel into Arad Doman with the intent of pacifying and re-ordering the country. He also used Sea Folk ships to supply Bandar Eban with food to combat famine. Common bandits being no match for the Aiel, he easily occupied the region. He also secured the assistance of the Great Captain Rodel Ituralde in guarding the unprotected border of the Blight. However, he experienced difficulty restoring order. He attempted to use the Council of Merchants to replace the missing king--whom he suspected of being under Compulsion to Graendal--but was unable to locate enough of them to elect a new king. After failing to reach an accommodation with the Seanchan, he leaves Arad Doman in a rage. While departing he is informed that the all of the grain has spoiled. Dejected at yet another failure, Rand leaves Arad Doman to its fate.

While dreaming one night, he found himself in Tel'aran'rhiod. On further investigation he discovered that he had somehow been transported to Moridin's lair. While there, he had a genial conversation with Moridin who revealed to Rand that he is Ishamael reborn and that balefire is the only way one of the Forsaken can be destroyed for good. Before leaving Rand was shocked to find that Moridin didn't bring Rand to his place.

Following his revelation on the summit of Dragonmount, Rand returns to Bandar Eban to atone for his previous failure. Finding the city starving and desperate, he and Min locate three former King's Guards, who he commissions to help restore order, providing them with weapons and armor from Tear. These soldiers quickly gain five hundred recruits. Rand then returns to the Sea Folk ships, which are kept under quarantine by Iralin, the dockmaster. Iralin is initially enraged at Rand's abandonment of Arad Doman, but Rand boards one of the Sea Folk ships and discovers that every unopened bag of food remains unspoiled. With hope restored, Rand appoints Iralin as his steward in Bandar Eban and names him to the Council of Merchants.
Touching the True Power

Rand continues to descend deeper into madness, attempting to become ever harder and harder, especially after Semirhage who had been freed by Shaidar Haran and Elza Penfell, bound him with the Domination Band and forced him to try to strangle Min. In a fit of desperation, Rand unknowingly reached out and channeled the True Power, possibly through his link with Moridin.

With it he wove fire and destroyed the collar of the Band. Free from its control, he killed both Semirhage and Elza with balefire. The full implications of this turn of events are not yet understood, and for her failure he banned Cadsuane from his sight, threatening her with execution (though this did not stop her scheming with the Wise Ones and her fellow Aes Sedai).

Later, Rand met with Tuon at Falme in order to set a truce. However, despite his ta'veren nature, Tuon refused to accept his conditions. She instead demanded that he bow to her in accordance with the Prophecies, causing Rand to leave.

While in Arad Doman, his search for the King caused him to come across information concerning the location of Graendal, and, when Nyneave chanced upon one of Graendal's toys operating in Bandar Eban, he took the opportunity to attack her. Discerning her likely location, he used a disloyal and manipulative Domani noble to determine her presence, and then, in a fitting display of his encroaching insanity, proceeded to destroy the entire manor complex with Balefire, to the disgust of both Min and Nyneave.

Ultimately, however, Rand's plans for Arad Doman met with failure, as he was barely able to re-establish the government in the region, the peace process with the Seanchan, held at Falme with the Daughter of the Nine Moons, fell flat on its face, and the grain intended to relieve the famine suddenly rotted. Faced with this, he abandoned the country to starvation, anarchy, and Seanchan invasion, and returned to Tear.

Rand would meet with frustration once again at the meeting with the Borderlanders. Reunited with the Sniffer Hurin for the first time in years, he greeted his old friend with harsh words, and, enraged at the Borderlanders' refusal to meet with him except inside the city of Far Madding, threatened them with destruction and once again returned to the Stone.

He returned to Tear, from where he planned to march to Shayol Ghul. He also seemed eager to attack Ebou Dar, but was delayed when he found Tam al'Thor waiting for him in his bedroom. Rand was greatly angered when Tam accidentally revealed that Cadsuane had brought him there, in his rage nearly losing all control, and almost killing Tam with the One Power. Fleeing to Ebou Dar with the Choedan Kal access key, he came close to carrying out his one-man assault on the Seanchan, but stopped short when he saw all the people of Ebou Dar's concern for him when he was gripped by the summoning sickness. He made a gateway and Skimmed to a seemingly random place, eventually ending up on the top of Dragonmount.

OH! And Astrolinium is Co-OP.

I approve.
I'll also make an app shortly, after I decide what/who to be.

by **The Inritus Extraho** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:39 pm

Name: Danica
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual, I suppose
Species: Redemit
Primary Ability: Preternatural fighting skills
Secondary Ability: Human 2.0 (better lifespan, more disease resistant, longer without starving, etc etc)
Appearance/Description: See http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=12382509#p12382509
Melee weapon: Pair of large shields, matching her armor.
Long-range weapon (Optional): None, I guess. Don't want one, and two shields is enough, especially considering the 'magic' in them
Home Universe: Linked above, with Appearance. (Seekers of Infinity)

If it's not going to be a Dice RP, then shouldn't you change the App to a more standard one instead of just changing "clothes" to "description?"

by **Astrolinium** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:59 pm

Ooh, I know exactly what to be. AWBers should recognize this character as the inspiration behind my character from that rp.

Name: Peter Vaughan
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gay
Species: Human
Abilities: Magic
Appearance/Description: Like This, but with Slytherin robes.
Melee weapon: None
Long-range weapon (Optional): Magic Wand (Spruce, Kneazle Hair Core, 11")
Likes: Dark things, spiders, poisonous stuff, classical music, power, priests
Dislikes: Fire, stupid people, lesbians, furries, owls, Arabic people, white chocolate, cats, definitely cats
Short bio: Born in Leeds to a prominent pureblood family, Peter has always been something of a little snot. Not a serial killer, mind, but definitely a little snot. Or little shit. Yeah, little shit might actually be better. His parents were Leonidas and Catrina. Their philosophy in childrearing was to be cold and detached, it seemed, as they rarely if ever showed Peter affection. The closest bond he formed was with his older brother, Thomas, who served as Peter's only true friend. When Peter speaks of his father, he often means Thomas, though he doesn't realize it. After all, at least his mother was at home most of the time. Leonidas was more often than not away on "business".
Thomas, however, could not attend to Peter all the time. He frequently found himself alone. And so, his mother's cats would often come up and want to him to play or scratch behind their ears or something. One after another, the cats disappeared. Magic often chooses... odd ways to manifest itself in the prepubescent. At any rate, eventually, there were no more cats in the house. Peter found that good.
It was not, as I'm sure you can tell, a happy life for Peter. Among the more formative of his experiences there include one time when he was seven. His father had come home drunk and beat his mother, then proceeded to fall asleep in front of the fire. So while Peter played with toys in the next room, his mother came out and set fire to her husband. Leonidas woke up and extinguished himself, and then he set fire to the room itself. Obviously, they did all this with magic because they weren't Muggle heathens. Catrina, Peter, and Thomas managed to escape. Leonidas died in the fire.
Eventually Peter ended up at Hogwarts. He was a Slytherin, of course. The Slytherins accepted him for once in his life, which was nice. They didn't even mind that he was gay... so long as he wasn't a mudblood, they were pretty chill about that.

Good point. I'll add in the extra parts.

We can? I might have another character join this RP then.

Danke.

Should I keep the Abilities separate or merge them into one?

There's really no point for them to be separate if this isn't a Dice RP.

This will not be accepted. That would imply that it was possible to be denied.

I'll add it to the OP.

I didn't even try.

I may or may not join this, merely because I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to the multiverse, but I'll probably consider it non-canon and get over it.

The reason I may not is because I make apps and post once or never.

An infinite feedback loop of mind slaving.

I guess that would depend on how susceptible Crowley is to deception.

I think Crowley would just end up fucking Scruffy.

Wait. I got it. Calliel should be the owner.

I have, for reference, updated my app to reflect the new app, because that is only scratching the surface on info I have about this character.

Scruffy probably wouldn't care one way or the other.

Yes.
