Personification Life - IC Part VII [open]

[Swith Witherward]

The continuing saga of the housemates from hell (some of them literally) WELCOME to PART 7 The IC THREAD TO JOIN, SIGN UP AT THE OOC THREAD: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?ns=1&f=31&t=235085 Please Note: This thread is closing early so the OP can recover from surgery. The new link is: here. Please join me at IC 7.5 - Swith will return as OP for IC 8! The background: This is a continuation for the occupants of the Building. It was founded by Dabfia and continues on as a legacy to his insane mind. IC Part I - The Beginning. IC Part Deux - New Building, Same Nonsense. IC Part III - Island Living for the Holidays. Part IV - Returned to Building, Oh My Gods! Part V - Five Golden Threads! (aka Oh My God... They're Breeding!) Part VI - The Day the Drones Destroyed the World Original OOC thread - Locked. Your behind-the-scenes glace at further insanity. OOC thread Part II - Locked. OOC Thread Part III - Locked. To join: visit the OOC thread and submit an app. Someone will come along shortly to approve you (or laugh hysterically at your attempt to join). The Building Rules: We have rules? Well, only a few. They're guidelines, really... HAVE FUN! New characters get an apartment to themselves. You can stay there or eventually find a roomie to share an apartment with. You can play your characters as either serious or light. We're a mixed group. Got a problem with a player? Take it to that player in TG to resolve it. It's a fast-moving thread. It's okay to ask "where is everyone and what happened while I was gone?" in the OOC thread. Please save earth-shattering adventures until the weekends. Earth-shattering would be any side-story that affects the entire house (blowing up the building, planet-wide invasions, world destruction, etc). Minor stuff (zombie attacks, localized plagues, genderbenders, etc) can be ignored by players who are offline. You don't have to play everyday. Play as you can, according to your schedule. What kind of character can I play: We have anthros, velociraptors, gods, demons, angels, cyborgs, robots, magic users and mystical beings, warriors/soldiers/super soldiers, average mortals, A.I.s, thieves, spies, emperors, mad scientists, and whatever Bones and his brothers are. Anime seems to be a big theme, followed by offshoots of various pantheons and fiction. Please don't be a God Mode Sue. We have several powerful characters. They've evolved over time. They will kick your ass if you come in like gangbusters and try to dominate the thread. Look through the character tabs in the post below to gain an understanding of everyone's characters. Please message Swith Witherwward or Cerillium if you plan to play a god. There are specific guidelines in place to keep things in balance so non-god characters are treated fairly Don't piss the OP off. We're a fun group that accepts new players all the time. We also have our own Region. The Apartment Block is a 100% active region with an active Founder and WA Regional Delegate, a brand new off-site forum that's dedicated to role-playing, and friendly . You must be a member of our Region to partake in the off-site forum. Our Region does accept *ACTIVE* puppet nations for that purpose. Click on the icon below for more information. Attention Players! We are moving to this setting shortly while the city is rebuilt by the OP. ALL characters need to be there or be out of circulation during the rebuild. Period. The Planet: Gliese 581 is the Germanic Templars home world. It's set in a future timeline and not in the same solar system, obviously. The Setting: Now then, all of the rooms are the same, however, you can customize them and stuff and all of that good jazz... Anyway, here are the places: Throne Room Equivalent of the Lobby, where you would enter with a throne in it. Did I mention there was a throne in it? Stay off the Emperor's Thinking Bench. Library Located off to the right of the Throne room. Specifically past the first door on your right. Books vary between old paper and leather back to modern pads that read the book to you (now your child too can read and listen to Shakespeare's Macbeth). By the way, it's a huge library with tower stairs leading up to the second floor as well as a balcony that over looks the lower part of the library. Palace Dining Room Not much other than it's a huge frikken dining room with plenty to sit. On the left side of the building (Assuming if you were looking at it from the front). Recreational area In the back of the building. Includes a dojo and from there, it breaks off into a pool/spa area off to the left, weight room to the right, and Virtual Simulation room directly across the dojo. Living area Right side of the building where there are a labyrinth of hallways and rooms. Strip The place that is two miles long and lays out front of the palace pass it's walls. With it are a Ch'as, a few kiosks and stores, and directly across is a parking garage for air vehicles. Side note Doors are automatic unless locked. Lights tend to come on down the hallway or room you enter, and kitchen is pretty much off limits since food is either brought to your room or to the dining room (And by food I do not mean the people bringing it). In the far back of the building there is a nice garden. Getting There: CRUISE! Yeah baby! You're taking a ship through time. Players who are NOT online when the ship leaves... we can either say your characters boarded the ship, or Minerva or Klaus or Swith can bring you to Gliese 581. I'd rather not have to ferry people. Do I hafta go?: This is optional. You don't have to leave. However, I won't be RPing the rebuild. It's too much. Your characters won't have anything to do because they're stuck behind Ogoti's forcefield and can't leave. You have a tent. You have a chow hall. There aren't any ponds, you can't touch the ocean because it's polluted at the moment, there isn't any tv or radios, you can't hunt cultists for souls/blood/entertainment (they'll kill you) and you're surrounded by nasty things which will eat you even if you could leave the forcefield... and the sun sometimes shines. It has all the fun of a concentration camp minus gas chambers and furnaces. Seriously. Staying will NOT give you a leg up on anything. We'll be there a week minimum. Possibly longer if you guys are having a ton of fun. The Background: Gliese 581 is the Templar's home world. Thriller is their emperor. The people know him in his mech suit form. He has a fully-fleshed planet, meaning the player has taken the time to set up culture, areas for fun or industry or various religions whatever. The Rules: 1) No tech stealing. You can ask to trade tech. GT has to agree to it. 2) Absolutely respect the property of the nation. 3) ASK GT before doing something that can change Germanic Templar canon. 4) Big one... it's a future setting on a planet far away. No bringing in militaries, extra characters etc. 5) GT functions as a Co-OP while players are on his planet. His decisions on what can or can't be done must be followed. He has the right to ask people to REDACT if they do something that violates his canon, culture or concept. These rules apply to all future trips to other nations. Ask OOC if you're not sure about an action. I expect the same respect given to Bran when he lets us visit his nation, and to Torsi when we visit his, etc. The Sovereign-State (and City) of Bielefeld. 24 April, 2013: Bio/Chem hazards scrubbed. Environment restored. City Planners meet to discuss rebuild. Other nations beginning to send construction materials, etc. (Ideas for structuring in OOC.) 26 April, 2013: Construction begins on underground areas; utility, roads, railways mapped out by city planners; supplies begin to arrive in tent city proper. It is decided (OOC) that the city will be modern rather than futuristic. 27 April, 2013: Underground construction completed. Buildings soon to go up. Military base and airport construction starts. 14 May, 2013: The Residents return to the Building. The Co-OPS for this RP are Cerillium and Tiltjuice. Their word is law. They function as RP moderators for this thread. If you have a problem with a player that can't be solved via TG, take it to them. They serve as mediators. They have the authority to ask any player to leave for just cause. They also approve applications. Ceril has over twenty years of RP experience. He's served as OP for multiple genre to include 40K, Steampunk, Battle Tech/Mech Warrior, AD&D, and other genre-specific games. He ran "FreeForum" for five years. Tilt has many years experience on NS in various forums. He's served as OP for multiple genre, although most know (and love) him best for the NS RP "Walking Dead".

The Building 42nd Subabsurdus Street, Bielefeld Current location of our madness. It's bigger on the inside than on the outside and it seems to heal itself. The interior construction appears differently to each resident (tile vs wood floors vs carpet, metal staircases vs concrete vs wood) etc. Rent is paid via a small box in the lobby (near the reception desk). No one knows where your envelope goes once you slip it into the box. The landlord, O.C. Demens, hardly ever makes an appearance. New tenants will usually find their contract and a key at the reception desk. Common Areas This is where everybody seems to flock, including those with apartments that have kitchens. Breakfast is usually waffles and omelets. Trashed frequently due to firefights, mobs, invasions, and Dab/Tsu. It's the only place in the building where the residents will kill you faster than the food. These are the front and back yards. Used for Zalgofests, combat, snowball fighs and who knows what else. It has a shed in the back which most residents avoid for good reason. Recently discovered by NVE, the gym is off the lobby on the first floor. It's a communal area where people can work out. There's an indoor pool, spa and steam room. Hallways. People roam them. Some people lurk in them. They have shadows to hide in. It has books. Donate some. Ground floor when you first enter the building. It has mailboxes by the front door (we never see the mailman but there's mail), a check in desk, a bench, an alcove with a payphone booth. It leads upstairs to the communal kitchen/dining room and rooms. It's a roof. It's at the top of the building. It's used for gazing at the night sky, defending the building (weapons seem to change at the drop of a hat), housing Bran's helicopter, and a quiet place to drink. Stairs lead up to it from the inside. Not So Common Areas and Other Information Some residents are cheap bastards and only rent rooms. They use the communal dining room and kitchen for their meals. Apartments have full kitchens, bedrooms, and living space. Cunning residents build secret labs in all sorts of odd places. They really aren't secret since everyone knows about them. For whatever ungodly reason, some residents utilize tunnels and air vents to get around. Expect them to drop in anywhere at any time. Some apartments exist in their own little universe and can not be penetrated by outside sources. These would include Bones & Co's apartment and The Sanctuary (Chaos apartment). Don't try. You'll only become frustrated... or die. Things your characters would know since they live in the building... The restaurant across the street, Chaos, is heavily protected. The outer appearance is just a thin veneer mixed with illusion. People walking in the front door enter a pocket universe. When under attack, the door closes and the restaurant pinches off from the current universe. The apartment Building heals itself, but some apartments inside also skip out of the current dimension and can NOT be entered. I suggest you wait until the player is online before making an attempt to break and enter. The building rooftop is set up to defend the building (Tsu and Dab have put guns there before so I'm sure those are still in place). There's a massive rail gun in the back yard that GT's tech priests built for the last invasion; it doubles as an organ. A force field can be quickly placed to further protect the building. (It defeats magical/god powered attacks. It defeats nano, mechanical and supernatural infiltration. This came into play during the last invasion. It forms a sphere around the area, roughly ten blocks wide but it can be scaled back so it doesn't hinder a story too much. Conventional weapons won't affect it.) Various characters have close ties to their nation's military. Tsu and Bran have both called in their forces for support in the past. Ceril's nation is backed by CSMs and Dark Mechanicum... FT, with all the firepower found in 40K plus Chaos gods. Bones also has an advanced military. Swith's is bio-based FFT; they destroy planets instead of wage ground/air battles... no one here wants them to spore! There are more defenses... you'll encounter them as you go.

The Sovereign-State of Bielefeld Bielefeld has its own government as well as a city government and stands independent much like Monaco. The City of Bielefeld The City of Bielefeld was constructed after the third Drone invasion devastated the old city (Vaffelhelm). There are generic places around town: cinemas, libraries, grocery stores, arcades, golf courses, museums, etc. Location of Building. It's bordered by the woods and near the ocean. There are parks and schools, a bank, and a small pizza joint. Strip District. The Chaos Restaurant, Mei Garden and other restaurant spots are located here. It is upscale and multicultural, with a fine arts gallery and various top-of-the-line stores. A memorial to Dora and the two Conservators lost during the Drone invasion sits in Memorial Park at Ocean Point. This is also the location of a Wall inscribed with the names of those lost to invasions and natural disasters in the last year. It has a massive giraffe statue. Industrial District. Location of most of the industry, to include Quantum Automotive, Nikanor Non-Lethal Solutions, and Trinodyne Industries. This area has working docks, is near the airport and is the access point for the small yacht club's island. The river is a working river for shipping trade inland. Bielefeld Observatory sits high atop Cerillium hill. It is open to the public but those interested in using the facilities for research must pay for time on the telescope. Bielefeld International Airport. Bielefeld State Park. Good spot for relaxing. Lake Pearlelei Agricultural district. Foods Conglomerate can be found here. Bielefeld Military Installation. Contains barracks and the sub base. The airfield and training centers, and other installations, are not on this portion of the map. It is off limits to civilians. Primordials' coral reef. Vaffelhelm ruins. Wasteland. A land barrier prevents the curious from entering. It is still smoldering, and the undercity contains many of the deadly traps that Chaos hasn't bothered to remove. There are rumors that the cultists use it as a playground. Downtown. Black-Star Industries, the Bielefeld Hospital and Renegade Private Military Company can be found here. The Catholic Cathedral, financial institutions, and other major businesses are located within. The seat of the government and city hall sit in the heart of it. Museums, theatres, fine arts galleries, zoo and aquarium. Here are a few defined spaces (many of which are character owned): It's a bank around the corner. That is all. An Observatory high atop Cerillium Hill on the edge of town. Co-owned by two Chaos gods and located directly across the street from the Building, Chaos is an upscale restaurant during the day, a club at night. Waitstaff are all NPCs (demons, succubi, incubi, etc) in human disguise. Staff include a Head Chef (Cuisine) and a Breakfast Chef (Bran) as well as a bartender (Superbia). The building is indestructible given that it's in its own little pocket universe. It's a neutral zone; magic and combat inside is not allowed. Sometimes seen, but often not, these provide delivery service to the Building. They also provide deliverymen who end up eaten by certain residents. Owned by Pryfyn, this shop contains various droids (mainly military) which are designed and created on site. The ACF, or Aksarben Containment Foundation, is an ultra-secret organization under the direct control of the Aksarben government. No one besides the Royal Family, the members of the organization, and the uppermost levels of government know of it's existence. It's purpose is to contain and/or destroy things that would go against understood physics and things that have extremely anomalous properties. They begun transporting some of those objects to the Earth that the Apartment exists on, using a secure containment facility underneath their fronts in that universe, the Foods Conglomerate of Aksarben. That includes both their farming complex, and their HQ within the city itself. Run by Marie-Claire Toussaint, a "voodoo" seer. "Sometimes I see things beyond sight. Sometimes I see only de heart. I know where you go and where you come from." The glass window outside the shop appears caked with smoke. The main room is always cast in warm light, and scarves shroud tables and lamps. Everything seems to be shades of red, or shades of black, but other colors find their way in and stand out in sharp contrast like dandelions on a manicured lawn. The thick smell of incense and spices hangs in the air. Small rodent and cat skulls and beads hang in garlands from the ceiling and doorways, and festoon table tops. The shop is only open for business when Swith is online. It is located in the Strip District.[floatleft][spoiler=Mei Garden]A traditional Japanese restaurant and tea house located in the Strip District It's a park nearby dedicated to all those who have lost their lives during the various disasters and invasions. There's a wall of names. A single tree stands in the very center to commemorate the loss of the retired Conservator Dora. Located in the Industrial District, NNLS is owned by Bran Nikanor. It's where TF guns are manufactured. Shencheng, specializing in Shanghai cuisine, especially seafood. Primarily an informal lunch place. A private Investigation firm owned by Raymond "Ray" Jansma. Location: downtown. Specializing in advanced robotics research and development. A traditional Irish pub run by Minerva's lads. A favorite haunt of Fortu and Monique, Wu's Diamond Garden provides a variety of excellent Chinese fare... just don't look too closely at the waitstaff. Location: Strip District. Embassies The Embassy Program is NOT an official Diplomatic Thread element. The Ambassador represents the player. It is not a player character that will come into game play. The exception is Primordial who has always run an Ambassador. The embassies are located in the Embassy Complex in the Government Section downtown.

People Herein - In Alphabetical order Captain Ozzall 'Oddball' Griffin Due to his unfortunate and random teleportation, or whatever the bloody hell it was, he lacks his dress uniform and thus is stuck in the armor for now. A Captain in the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, Ozzall has had a successful career participating in numerous campaigns on the outer rim squashing rebellions, slaughtering insurrectionists, and fighting off the occasional underground Vong organization. Over time, his crazy tactics and what can only be described as insane, unbelievable luck and skill lead to him rising through the ranks and eventually being promoted up to Captain. After being deployed in another successful mission, some asshole deity (at least he assumes so) zapped him away from his home galaxy and to this damned run-down piece of shit building. Or, that's at least how he views it due to the lack of flying 'cars', advanced medical technology, or how these doors have hinges. Oh, and he's a Clone. Dwelling: Apartment. Just a standard unfurnished apartment. Pryfyn An engineer for the Colicoid Creation Nest, Pryfyn is a droid designer and has created numerous military droids. Now using his stockpile of funds to travel around, he hitched a ride on an Imperial exploration fleet and has ended up on Earth. Deciding to spend some time on the amusing planet, Pryfyn has opened a shop near the apartment creating various droids (mainly military) while also taking an apartment. He also tags along on the gang's wacky adventures. Dwelling: Apartment Factbook Bones Totenkopf (on left, with knife) Herr Doktor Eva (NPC) - Naomi's adopted daughter. Back story here and here. Her hair is black and she has odd glyphs on her face and arms. Apartment BIO: An Eastern European Dictatorship that is usually always at war with the neighboring nations. Bran Branson "Bran" Nikanor: A Branriech Airforce mechanic who was born in the Capitol city in 1988, a few years before the collapse of the Soviet Union. He grew up most of his childhood with his sister until the Branriech Civil War, he was also one of the first generation of young boys conscripted into the reformed military at age 15. After a few years of distinguishing himself as an exemplary mechanic, he was eventually marked for death by the current High General. He escaped through an experimental teleporter and ended up in the Fallout shelter of the apartment. Rylli Born in 1989, Amaryllis "Rylli" Volkova grew up in a rural village. Her father was killed in the Soviet-Afghan conflict and her mother was killed in an auto crash a year later. Rylli then lived with her older brother who was shot down and killed in an Airforce skirmish. Having no other family, Rylli joined the Branriech Airforce and was trained as a Fighter pilot, she met Bran and fell in love with him her first year of flying. She would later defect from the Branriech and has taken up residence with Bran. Natiya Natiya Nikanor, on the left, Bran's older sister was born in 1986. She was nearly conscripted into the Branriech Military along with Bran, but a quick descision from their parents saved Natiya from what would have been frontline service. They sent her to America just before their untimely demise at the hands of a firing squad, she went to college for a few years riding on the Nikanor's vast fortune before dropping out and joining a PMC before quitting that too. Now she leads a quiet life in the upper floor of the apartment. Rachelle Born in 2006, Rachelle and her family were captured by the Drone Empire. During testing, her mother was presumed killed while her father protected her afterwards. During Rylli's escape, Rachelle and her father tagged along while all the other subjects were gunned down behind them. As the trio was making their way to salvation, D4 killed Rachelle's father in a fit of rage, leaving Rylli and Rachelle to board the shuttle and escape back to Earth. Not knowing the true fate of either of her parents (But knowing she won't see them again), Rachelle has tried her best to get used to Bran and Rylli as her new parents. Kei Kei, the creator of the Branriech and it's people. A Demon or a Goddess (No-one knows and she doesn't care.) who is directly responsible for the creation of the Branriech as a state and as a people. Anyone hailing from the Branriech is descended from her and she refers to them as 'her childeren'. She claims to have no name but will respond to it if someone happened to find out. Apartment, Bran's room Bran and Co's beach house Ceril BIO: Unknown in age, Thaddeus Cerillium is quiet and intelligent but does have a sense of humor. He's currently employed by Swith. His primary function is classified; his secondary role is to protect Rachelle Nikanor. He carries the blessing of a god which aids him in his duties. He's ugly (even for a his people) and it doesn't bother him. He's engaged to Naomi and his children are Wren, Marcus and Eva. Marcus Marcus is Ceril's 15 year old son. Wren Wren is Ceril's older daughter. She's a Tech-priest, like her father. Ogotimatu God of Plagues and Death. Ogoti is also a god of rebirth and healing. Chloe Chloe is bookish and a damn good healer. She plays the cello. She makes those little puff pastries that you see at fancy parties, you know... the ones that just melt on the tongue? She's so prim and proper, and very sweet. Her laughter is like silver bells in a gentle breeze. It's absolutely infectious and brings joy to the heart. But Chloe isn't your typical girl next door. Oh no, not at all! Do you remember the "scary story" Swith told while everyone was on the beach? The little girl? That was Chloe. She's Ogoti's daughter and one of his best cultists. Typhoid Mary is insignificant by comparison. She is staying with her father for the time being. *This is a SHARED PC with Swith Witherward* The Chaos Apartments: Info Here Atoshmatu God of War. He is living at the abandoned sub base. Deuce Chaos Space Marine. He has an apartment in the Building. Dab Dab is the personification of the empire of Dabfia, even though he may not act like it sometimes, He also represents the hideous creatures in Dabfia, you might see him with mutants sometimes, or digging a hole to china, or fighting the revenge of nature, or blowing things up in his lab. Apartment: glorified dorm room of sorts, and a Lab Terminator Doctor Dab's modified T-1000 terminator. BIO - The Drone Empire, a Multi-Galactic Empire of machines which destroys or ruins all that are not like it, most units of the Empire act like a part of a hivemind, completely unwilling to disobey the wishes of the empire. Recently, the Empire has been expanding into the Milky way rapidly, and this planet is now a prime target for possible Purging, but after facing massive defeat, they won't be coming back for a while. The Data Archives Dani Really, she was once a fully robotic being, but due to necessary intervention, she has since been out into a human body.. mostly human, anyway. She is quite good with constructing devices or computers, pulling from her memories as a Drone, and has a profound hate for birds. All birds. She also seems to lack a large sense of what is right and what is wrong, accompanied by other traits that add to her strange insanity. The Progeny The Progeny is yet another attempt by the Drone Empire to survey and sabotage Earth's relatively primitive yet impressive defense array, but he is notably different from his predecessors due to the Immortallian technology attributed to his creation from Caligulus. He has an unknown array of weapons and various capabilities, though some including telepathy, telekinesis, technopathy and shape shifting. In addition, he possesses nearly unlimited resources to conduct his operations, and is quite calculated in his actions. Failure is not acceptable this time. Having taken up the identity of "Peter", he has infiltrated the Apartment and established a basic relationship with various inhabitants, acting as a timid, somewhat unique young man currently courting Dani. Caligulus A being similar if not identical to Darius, of whom he hates, he is a rather corrupted figure. Having gotten into a serious dispute between Darius over who was responsible of the accidental closure of 600 Universes resulting in eons of scientific research lost, he was eventually blamed and shunned largely by the Immortallius's scientific community, being reduced to a minor rank responsible for the closure or temporary maintenance of a realm should it's regular caretaker be called upon a task of greater importance. With Darius's apparent demise due to a systemic meltdown, he has been put in charge of closing the Universe Darius discovered and cared for, however, Caligulus has far more vengeful plans in mind. Having easily manipulated the local Drone Empire into doing his bidding, he has once again put the Earth in danger from another Invasion, one greater than any ever seen by the Earth prior.[/code] The Replicates Servants of The Progeny, they do his global bidding, and unlike he, usually replace individuals rather than establish their own personality, they clone the mental and visual characteristics and then normally kill the original subject while they fulfill his/her's normal position while acting truly as an operative to ultimately disable the Earth's primary defenses. They have some of the abilities of The Progeny, though they lack more of it's advanced capabilities. The Xarada The robot-servant of The Progeny, it is a small spider-like creature that takes various forms, though normally it takes the appearance of a black cat. When not lurking around, guarding Peter's apartment and serving as Peter's central A.I to base his operations upon and stay in contract with the vastly distant Drone relays, it serves as a reconnaissance bot, doing things Replicates might not be able to. It has weapons such as it sharp legs and a short array of mental weapons while it is highly adept in the digital sense, equipped with some of the best Drone cyber-weapons and defenses available. It's loyalty is inequivalent by any other to the Progeny, and it will viciously fight for him. The Caretaker The supposed overseer of Earth after the second Drone invasion, he is a mysterious figure, who resides in The Aetherian, a strange yet small collection of enormous ships. He has unknown capabilities and origins, only known to answer the The Observant, but no more information beyond that. Dani's Lab Raymond Jansma (Appearance: Imagine this crossed with a bit of this. Coming in at 6'0'' and 176 pounds, Ray is a medium-framed male human. He has Hazel eyes, alongside trimmed black hair. Ray's a furry. Within the DU, this means that the individual has gone through a complicated surgical procedure in order to change most of their outer physical appearance. His "fursona" is a grey fox; he is predominantly covered in grey and white fur, with short ears and a tail of approx. 1 1/2 inches in length. He has a medium-sized frame, and has gained a slight amount of weight that has certainly affected the probability of a six-pack.) "I, Raymond H. Jansma, swear by my honor to uphold the position of law, order and justice within Wolf City. I shall behave honorably within my duties, swiftly with justice, fair-handed with the oppressed. So help me God." Ray's entire childhood dream was achieved with that oath, the one sworn by each new member of the WCPD. He had always liked the idea of adventure as a child; despite his intelligence, his boyhood persuaded him at the age of 22 to pursue a job within law enforcement. While certainly not pretty, he enjoyed a somewhat glamorous position as a detective within the Northern end of the city. He worked with such legends as Mark Phelps and Jesse Parks, and even enjoyed a small amount of public fame for famously busting a real estate extortion ring. He served a good six years with the department, and loved every minute of it. Well, almost every minute. In the beginning of his sixth year in the PD, he got reprimanded for inappropriately handling a (rather personal) case involving a (rather asshole-ish) family member, and was strung out on excessive use of force and for making a mess of several local buildings. His position all but gone, he resigned and attempted to begin a private investigation firm, to no success. However, his talents for violence and investigation didn't go unnoticed. Officially recruited by the Strategic Threat Analysis Bureau as a "sleeper agent," Ray became a investigation agent within the secretive "Unit 317;" a rumored government agency responsible for everything from extraterrestrial analysis to active engagement of foreign threats on DU soil. In reality, the unit was far more: linked directly to the SHEANAM and under the supervision of the Minister of Defense, it turned to be a high-tech paramilitary group of 2,000 that handles sensitive situations for numerous sections of the government. Despite his one-time fame, Ray fit in perfectly. Originally handling minor investigations ("minor" meaning terrorist plots), he eventually moved up to being a minor officer within the group after only a year in The Unit. However, recently he's been actually placed on sleeper agent duty after a request by his superiors, who are concerned that his abilities don't match up to other members of 317. So, after a recent string of very odd events, he's managed to find himself here, at the apartment. He's got a few stories to tell, with the added bonus of telling them like an old, crazy man. And like an old, crazy man, he's hella confused about the situation he's in. Dwelling: Apartment, preferably with the constant sound of jazz to make Ray feel somewhat important, action-y and less confused. Cornelius Thriller Born in 1995 in New York City, new york.

Apartment Jake Bennett Blonde hair,1.88 m height,nice body,ex-wrestler. In prison 2 years, ex-special forces. Dwelling: Apartment Nations Nation Name: Grand Federation of Aksarben (official name Nation Bio: A republic in the Midwestern Democratic States, it is the second oldest government in the region and the most liberal by far. They have extensive civil rights. The Grand Federation was created during a revolution from the older Aksarben Empire. Since then they have remained democratic and stuck to their ideals without resorting to violence like other revolutions seem to always lead to. Nation Name: The Aksarben Empire Nation Bio (optional): the old government of Aksarben. During a revolution they collapsed and the Grand Federation of Aksarben was formed afterwards. They were fiercely monarchist and imperialists until their collapse, at one time they controlled all of their continent. Both characters are two sides of the same person. Jacob is the one usually dominant. Under duress(like a life-or-death situation, Albert comes out and doesn't let go for a while. This also shows the duality in Aksarben's history. Characters: Jacob Aksarben He's the personification of New Aksarben. He holds all the same views as the country. He is a liberal, and idealist. He's also a very nice guy and likes to help people. His idealism can also cloud his judgement. He is also very smart and likes to mess with technology. Apartment Albert Aksarben Obviously he looks the same as Jacob, but with purple eyes(purple is the color of royalty) Albert is a personification of Aksarben and it's royalty. he feels entitled to everything. He is also a military man, and chivalrous. He is an expert with many types of weapons, and can learn how to use knew ones relatively quickly. Octavian Aksarben He is the crown prince of Aksarben. He is quiet, usually serious, and somewhat cold. He doesn't really care for anyone but himself. He has a hard time making friends and understanding others. He still cares for his nation's people, though, and does anything to help his nation become more powerful. He is also somewhat of a spoiled brat, as he was raised to become the next Emperor, so expects everything to be handed to him. He's also the highest officer in the Aksarben military, aside from Albert and the Emperor himself. The Emperor, Iacobos, sent him to the universe the building is in to keep him safe, and to learn about the different universe. Dwelling: Room next to Albert and Jacob's Neil Von Eldritch (aka NVE aka "My Killer") A psychotic supergenius mad scientist velociraptor MacGyver of atomic schizo tech bent on destroying the human race (and all mammals for that matter) with time travel, genetic engineering, lasers, nukes, and napalm (lots and lots of napalm) raising a family with Gretta. His IQ ha been measured to be 700 in comparison to mammals. Currently he uses a Telluric Interchanger to disguise himself as human or other species. NVE's Human disguise Supporting Characters: Gretchen "Gretta" Von Eldritch (aka "My Surgeon") Neil's wife, partner in crime, and match in velociraptor form. Only a wee bit more level-headed, and snout-over-claws in love with him. She is a bit more hostile towards mammals, but has more self-control. She has had three children with Neil named Robert, Swift, and Jenny. Gretta's Human disguise NVE042 (aka Fortu aka Dr. Martin Fortu) Computer hacker who is more competent and less crazy than NVE. Can hack the Pentagon at the speed of thought...depending on the speed of the internet connection. He was cloned from NVE and then was beheaded by Dabfia. He now has a humanoid body with a few implanted devices of his design. Fortu is in a relationship with Monique, and is always willing to help. NVE (aka Agent NVE aka The Agent) A psychotic supergenius mad scientist velociraptor MacGyver of atomic schizo tech bent on destroying the human race (and all mammals for that matter) with time travel, genetic engineering, lasers, nukes, and napalm (lots and lots of napalm) raising a family with Gretta. His IQ has been measured to be 700 in comparison to mammals. He was cloned from Neil while he was gone to keep Fortu company...for some odd reason (seeing as Fortu didn't need company). This clone only goes by his initial codename, he lacks memory of the apartment and Gretta and is not particularly fond of others. Dr. Arthur VanDelay Another clone of Neil, this one was created to empathize with humans. He is licenced to practice psychiatry, athough most of his solutions are mind altering drugs. He cares about people and follows the rules but won't back down from a fight. Nevvie Guess what? Another Clone of Neil! Nevvie was created to help in the lab. Athough female and a hybrid of Raptor and Human biology, Nevvie has only half the strenth and speed of a raptor but all the intelligence. On the other hand, the prehensile tongue and venom sacs are new. She is quick on the draw and very flexible. She often takes the third option and the route less traveled. APARTMENTS : The Von Eldritch House (It can fly), The "Backyard Death-Ray" Primordial AKA Prime(on left) Primordial was born in 1973 twenty six years before the second American civil war to a poor family in Boston. During the war he was possessed by a Star Vampire and butchered his entire family before fleeing to Canada with many other Americans. Once the War was over he returned to his home which was now the Luxan Empire because of some form of primal pull, once home he was quick to join the prestigious Miskatonic University where he studied for 10 years earning himself a doctorate in Tran Kinetic Science and Divinatory Scrying. However he lacked a formal education and gain the money for tuition by joining the military during the summer. While in the military he participated in both the Egypt Wars and Subjugation of Mexico, it was here that he was recognized for greater things and promoted to Engineer and then Military Mancer. During the Egypt Wars he brief worked with Insidious as the leader of her Scorpio’s repair crew. After the wars he returned home to finish his studies and after school was hired by SystemCorp to work on a new line of Pentagram Missiles which were being tested in The City. He was killed during the GodEatGod incident by Natiya. Primordial possesses a host of abilities but none are more powerful than that of his mind he is an obsessive pragmatist that has a plan for every situation no matter how impossible. With powerful telekinetic abilities he has the power to move objects weighing as much as four tons at speed over twenty six miles an hour, and in addition his expect divinatory abilities allow him to accurately predict the future to the nearest 2 hundred likely scenarios. His preferred weapon is a Scion-6 Pistol that has the power of a railgun in a hand held weapon. In the aspect of protection primordial wears a finely meshed suit of Nanite Caraplates and has branded his soul numerous times with protection sigils. Insidious Insidious was born to a rich Texan family in 1977; she was in college in Oregon during the American civil war. She fled to Canada when the war broke out with millions of other Americans, there she finished her schooling getting a doctorate in biology, however she returned to Primordial Luxa in order to find he parents who she had lost touch with after the war, she returned to her home to find that they had all been killed accidental by the American Government and at that moment swore allegiance to the unspeakable gods of the Luxan Empire. Penniless in a strange country she joined the military in order to gain a startup and during her time she was placed in the Egyptian Warfront as the driver of a Leo Heavy Recon Tank, however she was quickly promoted to pilot an Avatar Engine near the end of the war due to her ruthless skill behind the wheel. After the war she became a biological artist who built exotic and strange people and creature for wealthy patrons. Insidious has completely embraced the ideas of the Luxan Empire like few Runners have and is now a completely amoral machine dedicated to excess and hedonism. Unfortunately she was born with natural gift for reading people’s emotions and faces that, due to the magic surrounding her, has bloomed into an uncontrollable ability to hear people’s thoughts and to manipulate people minds. In addition to building creature for art she has also changed her own body into a more artistic form, with genetic cell memory, a host of 21 extra organs, and shape shifting abilities she is a true master of the flesh. Aegis Aegis was born in 1970 to a middle class family in Massachusetts; at the age of 20 he suffered a psychotic break and killed 32 people with his bare hands in a city wide rampage. He was given life in prison and was confined to Providence maximum correctional facility, where he waited for 10 years before he was freed by the Luxan newly emerged government. He quickly joined up with the luxan army lacking any tradition skill set beside his strength of arms. He quickly out preformed his fellow soldiers and was elevated the Immortal in record time. He participated in the War of Lakes, Egypt War, Operation Savior, Subjugation of Mexico and Blood in the Pacific campaigns. When he wasn’t in wars or in stasis training he was studying magic and overtime has master pyromancy. He eventual took leave after being offered a position at SystemCorp as a foreign enforcer in charge of scaring nations into purchasing SystemCorp weapons, a feat he flawlessly enacted in The City several months ago. Ageis is known for being very level headed, even in the thick of combat he is incredibly calm and never seems anxious or scared, while it does take a lot to anger him, when angry his powers become amplified infinitely and he loses control. He has also undergone numerous biological upgrades and enhancement and now is a monster of a man standing seven feet tall, weighing three hundred pound and being able to easily life three times his body weight. Room 6C Primordial was recently granted the status of Earl for his help in R.A.D.I.C.A.L. and as part of such he requested to become the Luxan ambassador of The Nation, as such Primordial's “apartment” is in reality a foreign embassy and governed by international law. The embassy is ACTUALLY on Luxan soil because the door is a dimensional gate to the group’s home country.

Her matrix houses a chaos god who chooses to remain in female form while in this dimension. Pleasure, excess and perfection (as well as hedonism, lust and pain) were once part of her mantra. She, along with her brother Ogoti, have slowly become disenchanted with the politics of their pantheon. She recently stumbled upon some things that gods of her pantheon term as "heresy" and her subsequent death and resurrection have left her feeling a bit of animosity towards some of them. Swith never hesitates to foster the desire in others to improve upon themselves. Freed from the shackles of her pantheon's severe nature, she has rediscovered the beauty of the universe. She still hosts nefarious and oft-hedonistic Zalgofests with Bones, however. Swith is married to Cornelius Thriller, the Immortal Emperor of the Germanic Templars. They have two children (twins): Siduer and Sydney. Naomi She is a splinter from Swith's being and shares many of her abilities. She is capable of great devastation when under pressure. She's love personified and protective of her friends and humanity. She is the adoptive mother to Eva, a young and emotionally traumatized girl from the Friedhof (Bone Fort NPC.) She is also Ceril's fiance and mother to his children, Marcus and Wren. Support Cast Blythe One of the top ranking succubus of Lust's minions, Blythe's life seems to have taken a dramatic swing for the better since meeting the demon Superbia and archangel Lucius. Hopelessly (and equally) in love with both, Blythe is content with the love triangle and (being a succubus) sees it as perfectly normal and rational. Minerva Blackwater Swith's Cultist Leader. Chi A chibi maxtrix thrust upon Swith when her essence needed a temporary body. Created by Herr Doktor and enlarged by Swith, Chi is the babysitter for Marcus, Eva, and the twins. Rarely seen NPC. The Cultists Don't ask. They're there. All of them have work Visas. Mama Toussaint Marie-Claire Toussaint is neither old or young, but she has an exotic air to her. Her skin, tattooed with odd symbols and glyphs, is the inviting color of café au lait. She keeps her own business but has abilities that transcend nature. The Chaos Apartments Full description. Please read that before attempting to break in. It is in a pocket dimension that can't be breached. If you attempt to break in, you might as well make up a new character. Access to the apartments is via a boring door in the Building Lobby. A short flight of stairs will take people to a foyer containing four doors. One door is for Ogoti's apartment, the other is for the Cultist Leader's apartment, and the third is for Naomi and Ceril's apartment. The fourth door is impossible to see but it leads to Swith's lair. Schematic SWITH WITHERWARD NATION Nation Name: Swith Witherward Nation Bio (optional): A colony of the Nifid. Rodney Bodkins Bodkins is a Triumvir Scientem Representative, the Witherward of Swith... er, no relation to your own Swith. Swith Witherward contracts with char!Swith for research. He's come to manage those assets. Apartment Cuisine Sensitive about his height. Lives for good food. Often found uncomfortably hunched over in kitchens, where he can usually be seen experimenting with new recipes. Pretentious, so he puts on a different accent every so often. Dramatic, so he'll do other random things at times, too. To get a better idea of his appearance: 7'5" 290 lbs, gray hair, green eyes. Early 50s. Apply that to his picture (linked above). MB A magical rabbit with several powers, including that of teleportation. Enjoys playing poker, eating walls and metal, drinking WD40 mojitos, and being a pyromaniac. Claims Cuisine is his familiar.

Capable of stopping time for everyone except other supernaturals, and sees people's remaining lifespans (referred to as 'readouts') above their heads. Strongly dislikes cold; enjoys travel, darts, and playing pranks. Dora A fallen former colleague of Luce's. On readouts...Most ordinary people have decreasing positive numbers on their readouts. Supernaturals have solid or hollow infinity symbols, depending on whether they resist all causes of death or merely old age. Laika, whom Dora was always chasing but never able to catch, has a negative number, due to her being out-of-place, timeline-speaking.

Torii was taken in by her father in the east. After being lost, she spent her childhood living as an orphan in a small border town. She was caught up in one of the big border clashes, and grew up learning how to fight and hide. She was eventually conscripted by the Confederate Army and Air Corps, rather than killed like many other civilians. Due to her involvement in many bloody conflicts, and the use of WMDs on her own home, Torii is mentally stressed, and suffers from terrible nightmares and bouts of suicidal depression. Apartment: A small enough, humble apartment in the style of many traditional Torsiedellie homes. The main room includes a large bed, Katya's mini-lounge in the left corner, by a small window. To the right is a small kitchen, with doors to a smaller bedroom and a laundry room. General Architectural style.

At the age of 15, with her mother's approval, Katya voluntarily joined the Western Air Force, but never saw service. Instead, she was put in the National "Organization", and designated Agent-09. She shares her room with Torii. Dimitrus Alexandrovna Dimitrus seems at first like a lonely, ignored, socially awkward girl. In reality, she can be a bright, artistic young woman, which is why the Führer took her as his protegé. She developed a minor attraction to Bran upon meeting him in the Capitol, and has since taken it to an obsession, hellbent on acquiring her "trophy". These actions and personality traits are unknown to Romanus, and barely noticed by Korovin, who still calls her a "Good kid", and looks out for her around the capitol, though he knows that she can't be allowed in power. She is the CO to Torii, and an old friend to Katya. She is 21-22 years old, 5'6, 135lbs, and has an Albino genetic defect. Due to this, she's always been self conscious. She's also been the target of minor bullying. She hates bringing up the subject of her Albinism. She has no apartment. She appears rarely, during visit to check on the building.

The Innovators are series modified humans that can control certain forms of technology, specifically electronics, with their minds. They are also capable of gender changes, though all are males in their natural states. Their purpose is to unite the governments of the world into one entity as well as create a race of superior life forms to inherit the new world that they will create. The organization that created them and their mission is still unknown Tieria was once hooked up to a computer mainframe known as Veda. However, after losing a fight to Tsu, he was deemed to be defective and was disconnected from Veda. This gave Tieria free will as well as his own emotions and personality. He now seeks to find a new purpose other than destroying the world as we know it. He is some 5 1/2 feet tall, 120 pounds, and has dark purple hair, red eyes, and wears glasses. His hair style sometimes gets him mistaken for a female. As far as personality goes, Tieria is rather quite and sometimes condescending without meaning to be. before he was disconnected from Veda, he was downright evil and attempted to kill several of the buildings residents. He has sense changed and is trying to reform this image. Dwelling: Full apartment Yoshi Yoshi Tokai is a 25 year old male born in the Armed Anime republic of Urran. He was orphaned at the age of ten and has sense developed an extreme case of shyness. He is a writer who is in the building to write an article for a psychological journal about the affects of so many cultures thriving in own place. Yoshi is around 5' 8" and only 105 pounds. He is sensitive about his weight and wears hoodies or traditional Urranese robes (kimonos) to appear to have a larger girth. His left eye is an emerald green, while his right eye is an aqua blue color. Seeing his right eye is a rare occurrence because his jet black hair covers that entire side of his face save his mouth and chin. As for personality, Yoshi is kind and sensitive. He may be timid, but he is always willing to help or comfort those in need of it. Other than writing, Yoshi cooks and plays the violin. He has a black cat named Miku Dwelling: Room Yuri Yuri is the personification of Urran. She was born when the nation was founded and will survive until it ceases to exist. Because she is tied so closely to the nation, she suffers frequent chest pains do to the wars her nation often fights in. Her hair style and color changes daily. She is kind and generous but somewhat overprotective and occasionally insecure. She is a heck of a fighter and cannot resist a challenge. Upsetting her is not wise. Dwelling: apartment Nation Name: The Glorious Empire of Zarkanians (otherwise referred to as the Dictatorship of Zarkanians). Zarkani Sickly-pale skin, sharp blue eyes, somewhat greasy hair, expensive black trench-coat with lots of 'merchandise' (high-quality magnetic guns) which should technically not fit in there, uh, in there, dark black sunglasses, big black boots with steel toes, and a black sword identical to the Colonel 187 (sans the ability to infect anyone ever with diseases because that's 'unique' to Colonel 187's sword) strapped across his back. He's about 5'11", and is human for the most part. He came from A Bad Part of Town, where everyone used to be fighting. He sold to a bunch of different gangs at the same time, and eventually the decided that the gang-war was taking such a huge toll on each other that they'd attack other parts of town instead. Thus began one of the longest periods of gang violence directed against citizens in the town's history. His mother was a human and his father was a human, but in some point in both their family trees, their ancestors had 'met' with a justice elemental and an immortal, respectively, and their genes have finally actually awakened in him. This made him somewhat neurotic when it comes to fairness, and also immune to dying of sickness or old age. (See, that's ironic, because most justice elementals are weak to being sick-- never mind). Apartment (full apartment w/kitchen) or Room (glorified dorm room of sorts): Apartment. Gotta find some use for all that trade surplus I mean money what. Apartment Picture: Except with an actual sink as opposed to whatever that is. Herean. He ain't got no last name. Appearance: White T-shirt with a red drop of blood centered on it, black jeans, messy dark red hair, light skin, blood-red eyes, black jacket. When he's fighting things his hands become encased in a pair of metal claws. He's able to summon a very, very long barbed chain, which is capable of moving like a snake but harms Herean when damaged. Fortunately it takes a lot to damage it. He usually looks about 18-19, but his shape can shift in age to anywhere between 14 to 37. He's not in control of these changes; they're mostly controlled by his emotions. Unfortunately, this means that when he feels especially irritated or distraught he ends up lookin far less mature than is helpful. Fortunately, these changes are fairly rare now. Herean is a reformed daemon of blood, which basically means he likes killing people and thinks blood is amongst the most beautiful things in the world, but doesn't... Actually... Kill people for no reason. He just looks for really, really small reasons for it. Not killing things puts him in a kind of withdrawal. He acts surly and irritable under the best of circumstances, but during long periods of 'not-killing-anything' time he can become downright bi-- Errrrrr... Female dog. Y. He doesn't like killing people he knows unless they're bad people. Living Quarters: Room! Snowskeeper Ferenczy (also Zark and Zarkanians) Snowskeeper has dirty-blonde hair, pale (like, REALLY pale, in a somewhat worrying way) skin, a somewhat thin face. He's about 5'6" in height. He tends to wear a black parka with random blue patches. He also wears blue jeans, and a random t-shirt with a random logo on it--it's usually something dark like a Metallica t-shirt with four skulls biting an eye or something like that. He also has a Zweihander strapped across his back. It has a Zarkanian gravitic drive built into the hilt, which allows him t carry it; if an EMP or something like that were to strike he'd be trapped on his back like a turtle. On the bright side, he can use a two-handed sword with one hand without having to work out too much! He looks somewhere around 16-18. Snowskeeper was once a person, just... Like... YOU. Or, maybe he was; he doesn't really remember anything before he transformed. Then he found a special, secret computer in the back of a warehouse in a ghost-town in a dead dimension; he's not really sure how he got there, but the perfectly functioning spaceship he found afterwards suggests he was brought there by a group of... Well, they had lots of seeds, so settlers, he supposes? In any case, there was a CMD prompt open on the screen, with the letters 'AFK' written therein. He doesn't know what his mental process was--he can't actually remember anything that happened before he typed this stuff in--'alter Snowskeeper: add characteristics Ice Elemental, Immortal (regenerative, not indestructible), teleporter. Then he hit enter. The computer exploded, but be received the chosen upgrades. There was a terrible cost, though: everything got really, really boring without the need to scrounge for food to survive, and with his Ice Elemental abilities he could defeat the few surviving animals without much difficulty. Fortunately, the ship had an auto-pilot installed, and he was able to activate it. The ship travelled through a rift, taking him to the ancient plane called Tertia. There, he took over the country of Zarkanians (making this the first and only dimension where Noah Grace didn't run the place into the ground), and convinced its clans to purue profit and the blood of other civilization, rather than each others' blood. He even managed to convince them to worship him! Over eght-hundred years, and three fits of insanity later (one of which left him with a permanent obsession with naps), Snowskeeper was assaulted by Colonel 187. No matter what he tried, from his custom machine-gun (now lost) to his favourite sword (he still has that), he couldn't defeat the Colonel. Finally, after a battle that lasted days, he conceded control of the country to Colonel 187 and left the area for greener pastures. He kind of liked not being the most powerful thing in his universe, though, so he intentionally sought out an area where there were at least some stronger people to keep him in check. He doesn't think that's weird. That area was the apartment building. Dorm room

Zargoza, the capital of District Fifteen, was one of the most beautiful places on Gliese 581. It was here that Thriller had inadvertently kindled Swith’s passion for the Krute people, and here where he had sweetly held her hand on their first actual date in the 50's looking diner called Ch'as. Zargoza was also where they’d discovered the Krute temple where Thriller had shyly proposed marriage and Swith has accepted with equal nervousness. Lucius had performed their private wedding. It was only fitting that the Blessing Ceremony should also take place in this appealing District.

The District had a scattering of uninhabited islands, each a lush emerald set against a deep blue sea. Minerva and her lads had taken time off from Bielefeld reconstruction to set up another pavilion. Tall poles outlined the celebration area and the jewel-toned silks attached to them fluttered on the ocean breeze. There weren’t any chairs or tables but large cushions were placed for guests to sit upon and these, too, were in rich shades of blue, orange, magenta and plum. The cushions surrounded low tables which would soon groan under dishes laden with traditional fare. Traditional music drifted on the air, the lyrics foreign to the guests’ ears.

The back of the pavilion had silken screens set to block out the morning sun. Under these were more cushions and a low table but upon the table were small vessels, groupings of flowers and golden bowls. Swith wanted humble but Ogoti would not put aside their traditions. This exquisite arrangement was symbolic of her heritage and stood as a harsh reminder that she would give up all of this when she left Ogoti’s House.

Their guests wore their normal clothing which was a reflection of their own tastes and culture. Swith’s “Family”, however, were dressed appropriately. Chanpreet’s sari was a royal plum silk embellished with the symbols most associated with her. Ogoti’s light green sherwani was tastefully embroiderd from Nehru collar to bottom hem, while Atosh’s was an intense shade of red.

Swith opted for a simple Sala kameez, the most Western of her people’s clothing, but she maintained the traditional scarf; it covered her head but would be slung over a shoulder after the ceremony. Her protests were met with Ogoti’s fierce growls and, in the end, she gave in and allowed Preet to apply mehndi, the henna tattoos traditional for weddings, to her hands. Thriller’s name, transcribed into her culture’s lettering, was woven into the design.

“I wanted humble, Ogoti,” she had complained but his response each time was the same: “Honor your blood, Charumati.” She thought him a bastard, but went along with it.
The ceremony began with a bell. Swith’s Charumati’s siblings arranged themselves on cushions at the main table and guests were invited to sit on their own cushions. The twins sat with the guests under Chi’s watchful eye.

“Namaste,” Ogoti began. “Ā'ō aura ikaṭṭhā, āśīrvāda gavāha ātē haiṁ.” He paused when Preet clucked her tongue. “Very well, for those who do not speak the language: I greet you; Come and gather and witness the Blessing.” He plopped down on the cushion between Thriller and Swith and folded his legs into a half-lotus.

Ogoti’s facial expression and low voice were stern. “A most serious action has been committed against my family. We gather to determine if this action is to be permitted to continue or is sundered.”

Swith tried to not fidget. Thriller sat across from her, partially blocked by Ogoti’s body. His handsome face and body language conveyed a nervous but happy state. He probably didn’t realize that the whole pavilion and feast would vanish and she’d be left outcast in the Void for her transgression if Ogoti didn’t feel their answers were correct. She was confident that Thriller wouldn’t say the wrong things.

“Mortal human,” Ogoti addressed Thriller, “You who have many names. I shall address you as Cornelius Thriller, for that is the once you most embrace. You sit at my table to eat my food and bask in my presence. Yet I name you a thief. You will answer to me.

He paused and studied Thriller in his Western attire. “Cornelius Thriller, why did you seek what wasn’t yours?”

“Her personality… captivated me, mainly,” Thriller replied.

Ogoti snorted. “Why have you taken what belongs to us?”

“I’m deeply in love with her,” Thriller explained.
“Meh,” Ogoti’s face remained neutral. “When will you give it back?”

“I won’t give her back,” Thriller defied him.

Ogoti considered his answers. They were properly succinct. The man didn’t prattle on about her power, or her beauty, or even how she could better his ambitions. Ogoti looked into Thriller’s heart and found the replies true.

“God’s splinter, my sibling,” Ogoti addressed Swith, “You who have many names. I will address you as Charumati for your pet name of Swith offends us.”

“Charumati,”his voice softened to nearly sorrowful, “Why did you stray from us?”

“He matches my heart in his concern for humanity,” she quietly stated.

“I see. Why did you cast aside your birthright, Charumati?”

“Love, Ogoti,” she smiled, happy tears forming in the corners of her eyes. “I love him.”

Ogoti nodded. “When will you return to us?”

“I shall never return to your House, Ogoti. My House is with Cornelius Thriller.”

The eldest god grew quiet. He looked to Atosh but War’s face remained neutral. He turned toward Chanpreet but she was smiling at Thriller and crying in her happiness for them both.

Ogoti’s eyes briefly touched upon a dark figure observing the ceremony a little bit away the pavilion, just barely visible so only the most attentive watchers would notice. Malice and his followers had never felt close to the others and rarely join in official matters or the traditions kept, but this ceremony was important enough that some representative attended. The eldest god was touched by that gesture.

“Very well. Your reasons are for love and not for anything else. This is the most noble thing. Nothing else matters. Take heed, Charumati. You have chosen a mortal. You may return to us when he passes the Gates. Take heed, Cornelius. Your bride has chosen your House. Defend her, protect her and respect her because she has given up her birthright to stand beside you as a wife. Never abuse her powers for your own gain.”

He motioned for Swith to cup her hands and then instructed Thriller to place his own into the cup formed by her palms. Into Thriller’s hands was placed a small brass jar.

“The woman is smaller and tender but she must always support her man’s strength and purpose. The man holds the future in his hands, and this empty jar awaits all the hopes and dreams they will pour into it over time. I place the first item in there.”

A small bead materialized from Ogoti’s palm. “This is my blessing. May your dreams forever intertwine. May your hearts know both joy and sorrow and may you remember to turn to each other during those times. May your love continue to flourish. May your children live by your example and bring honor upon you. Together, you are unified in purpose. The gods bless this union and their favor and love will never be stripped away.”

He paused to cast a sideways glance at Atosh. Ogoti knew his heart and would throttle him if he didn’t keep this promise.

The bead formed into a pearl and rolled off his fingertips to land in the brass container with a soft “tink”.

“This is my blessing. My love for you both will never wane.“

“Guests!” Ogoti greeted them, “Cornelius and Charumati Thriller welcome you to their Home! Please enjoy the feast prepared for you!”

With that, the cultists began to bring in platters laden with food. There were bowls heaped with curried rices, noodle delicacies, fruits and softened grains, sweets and bitter rinds. It was completely ethnic for their people and guests were given napkins and plates but no utensils. Wine flowed into small, stemless glasses. Water pitchers were set on the tables.

Swith leaned across Ogoti and kissed Thriller’s lips. “We survived that, most loved one,” she whispered to him. “Thank you for putting up with all this fuss.”

"It's no problem, really, i'd do anything for you." *he said before facing the crowd with a smile.*

[Torsiedelle]

"I guess she is.", Katya said, looking somewhat worried. She shook her head.

"Anyway, shall we go to the wedding?"

.....

Torii arrived, spotting Bran and several others. She awkwardly shuffled over and stood around, silent.

[Swith Witherward]

"It's no problem, really, i'd do anything for you." *he said before facing the crowd with a smile.*

Swith blushed. "I'd to the same for you." She picked up her glass and greeting their guests.

"Namaste! Friends, you are family to me!" she saluted them.

[The BranRiech]

Bran sat silently throughout the entire event, silently thinking to himself nearly the entire time. He'd had enough time, fortunately, to Iron his trenchcoat to a quality that would have passed for a dress uniform in a military parade and had tacked on his few "State honor" and "Hero of the Branriech" medals and wore them proudly. His family was seated next to him and he gave a quick thumbs up once the ceremony had concluded. He also flashed Swith a quick nod conveying "Thanks for everything." or "You're all beautiful together."

He left it up to her to decide which one as they moved for the food.

[Urran]

"I guess she is.", Katya said, looking somewhat worried. She shook her head.

"Anyway, shall we go to the wedding?"

.....

Torii arrived, spotting Bran and several others. She awkwardly shuffled over and stood around, silent.

"y-yeah, let's get going." he said, also throwing those thoughts aside for now. he also threw aside his worries about talking to the Deader. all of that could wait



Tieria on the other hand was fast asleep

[Torsiedelle]

Katya led Yoshi to the wedding just in time for the end, feeling somewhat satisfied, yet somewhat disappointed. She smiled and approached her sister. The two exchanged words in their native tongue before walking back to Yoshi. Katya kept smiling. Torii was giddy and cheerful, but also annoyed.

"w-what's wrong?" asked Yoshi, seeing the irritation that Torii had. he was concerned that it was aimed at him

[Tiltjuice]

Luce sat alongside Naomi and Bran. His attire, unlike most of the others, lent itself more to blending in.

The Conservator dress uniform was merely a more intensely colorized version of the regular - mahogany and moderate Payne's gray instead of tan and ...well, regular gray. Another slight modification was the red pony head lapel pin that marked him as a representative of Time, rather than a field officer.

He raised a champagne flute, saluting the couple.

Torii, unaware that Yoshi and her sister were together, had no negative feelings towards him.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm just a little upset that I couldn't have my loved one around for this. It woulda been awesome. Anyway, I'm starving!"

Katya giggled and ruffled her sister's hair.

"Shall we eat again?"

[Germanic Templars]

"It's no problem, really, i'd do anything for you." *he said before facing the crowd with a smile.*

Swith blushed. "I'd to the same for you." She picked up her glass and greeting their guests.

"Namaste! Friends, you are family to me!" she saluted them.

"Oh the rings! Did we exchange rings?" *Thriller asked. Somewhat forgetting.*

*On a side note everyone from Templar Co. Was there except Levi and M.A.I., who were stuck at the palace. Sapphire was sitting at a table with Barox and Dr. Smith while Khrolodna, Aleki, and J'aluk were sitting at their own table.*

Naomi smiled at her old friend and then at her new friend. "I'm so glad Ogoti approved. I mean, can you imagine if we were all just left standing here because he said 'No'? Total disaster."

She noticed Luce's eyes. "Why are you squinting?"

"Oh the rings! Did we exchange rings?" *Thriller asked. Somewhat forgetting.*

*On a side note everyone from Templar Co. Was there except Levi and M.A.I., who were stuck at the palace. Sapphire was sitting at a table with Barox and Dr. Smith while Khrolodna, Aleki, and J'aluk were sitting at their own table.*

"No, we didn't," Swith bit her bottom lip. "Too late? Do them now? I did actually find a ring for you," she smiled.

[The BranRiech]

Naomi smiled at her old friend and then at her new friend. "I'm so glad Ogoti approved. I mean, can you imagine if we were all just left standing here because he said 'No'? Total disaster."

She noticed Luce's eyes. "Why are you squinting?"

"Yeah, that would have been a buzz-kill. Ugh, seems like there's alot of Red tape with you all." Bran chuckled, relieved with Naomi.

[Urran]

Torii, unaware that Yoshi and her sister were together, had no negative feelings towards him.

Katya giggled and ruffled her sister's hair.

"Shall we eat again?"

"I-I'm not really a big eater but I will eat a little something....l-let's hope they have red meat alternatives." he said with a small smile. he was worried about how Torii would take the news when Katya decided it was okay to tell her. Torii and Yoshi had met before he and Katya and he considered her a friend, but he was capitalist and she was a communist. that could go very wrong

[Tiltjuice]

Naomi smiled at her old friend and then at her new friend. "I'm so glad Ogoti approved. I mean, can you imagine if we were all just left standing here because he said 'No'? Total disaster."

She noticed Luce's eyes. "Why are you squinting?"

"Diplomatic answer? It's bright. Honest answer? _{Lost me glasses.}" He coughed, his accent thickening on the last three words.

[Germanic Templars]

"No, we didn't," Swith bit her bottom lip. "Too late? Do them now? I did actually find a ring for you," she smiled.

"Well we could do it now, I mean it's not too late. Also I too got a ring for you."

[Giovenith]

Giovenith sniffed and rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief, "So beautiful..."

[Torsiedelle]

Torii, unaware that Yoshi and her sister were together, had no negative feelings towards him.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm just a little upset that I couldn't have my loved one around for this. It woulda been awesome. Anyway, I'm starving!"

Torii and Yoshi had met before he and Katya and he considered her a friend, but he was capitalist and she was a communist. that could go very wrong

"Well, okay."

Katya and Torii grabbed large slabs of what loomed like steak. Katya pointed Yoshi to some other foods.

[Swith Witherward]

Naomi smiled at her old friend and then at her new friend. "I'm so glad Ogoti approved. I mean, can you imagine if we were all just left standing here because he said 'No'? Total disaster."

She noticed Luce's eyes. "Why are you squinting?"

"Yeah, that would have been a buzz-kill. Ugh, seems like there's alot of Red tape with you all." Bran chuckled, relieved with Naomi.

"Majorly," she laughed. "It wouldn't have changed them being married. It would just mean that the family didn't approve."

She looked over to Luce. "You lost your glasses? Would you like a new pair?" She hastily opened her coin purse and began to rifle through it. "We can change the glass to match your prescription, and it'll tide you over until we get back to Earth so you can get a new pair, if you'd like?"

--

Swith looked at Thriller. "How about informal?" she asked as she pulled a small box from the brocade folds.

[Urran]

"Well, okay."

Katya and Torii grabbed large slabs of what loomed like steak. Katya pointed Yoshi to some other foods.

Yoshi fixed a small plate of fruits, vegetables, and poultry of some kind, probably chicken
