Personification Life OOC VII [OPEN -Sign up and Planning]

[Erucia]

Welp, I suppose I'll be awaitin' the Tasia storyline tomorrow then, Tiltster. Or later today, technically.

[Mincaldenteans]

Allspice prep scene paused for the above as well as to keep everyone on the same page.

Now then...who's doing what? My best understanding was Hans, Chrys, Dia, Kei, Ray, Drova, and Torii for Allspice, but I'm not sure as I know Kei is also needed for Prim's story, and I don't want to swamp Bran by forcing him to commit attention to too many characters. I'm pretty sure I won't get it done with in 1 or 2 days unless everyone skips school/work tomorrow or something. Then, too, I was also going to give Flint and Dan something to do, so that if Mon and Mincal are interested, they can have their chars join in. Especially if characters drop out of mine and go for Prim's.

To even the scales and a sense of obligation, Dan will follow Dia, since Dia volunteered to help with Haven will be its first client. Dan's primary power is illusion, but as a secondary he can heal others, slowly.

However, I can put him to Bran's if illusion suits better to that aspect. Whichever is easier for you guys.

[Swith Witherward]

Miss Swith is putting on her CoOP hat. Let's step back and see what's on the plate.

ALLSPICE - Tilt - mystery, combat, excitement.
Hans, Chrys, Dia, Ray, Torii, Dan

TEEN CLUBHOUSE - Cer and/or me - soft, friendly story for younger characters
Giovenith, Yuna, Marcus. Myra, if I end up running it. This story is to give some of our lighter characters, or non-combatant ones, something to do.

AEGIS - Prim - rescue mission, horror, puzzles
Kei is spearheading that as she's the only one who knows all the details. Naomi. Moar people needed.

THE BOOK- GT (closed at the moment)
Superbia, Samuel, Blythe, Xanthe. These are side characters working towards something bigger down the line (it ties in with existing stuff). They are sequestered and, now that the info exchange is nearly done, about to launch their adventure.

SOME OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE DRIFTING:
Toscha
Natya
Aleki
Misaki
Willow
Lilian (would be ideal for the Teen Club even if she's older. Rocco is learning how to RP.)
Cinnamon
Flint (Torii could get her involved with Allspice)
Javert (would be ideal for Allspice)
Sanjay (he's about to be pulled into fun anyway)
Tieria
Yoshi
Blossom
Wren
Sterling
Jacob
Sigtrygg
Namal
Dora
Klaus (parked soon)
Katya (excused from adventures due to being pregnant, park for now?)

FLOATERS
These characters are trying to coordinate the adventures: MB, Ogoti

Park your characters if they won't be used for Aegis or Allspice, please. Stories are getting put on hold because those characters are tying up characters who agreed to participate in them or else dragging out time so adventures are stalled while conversations take place. The rest of us are engaging dedicated characters in prattle with each other as we wait for everyone else to finish their chats. Not good. We've been stalled since Jan 6th.

[Swith Witherward]

I'll add one thing to that. We've planned out the Thriller story for a very long time. GT and I might have Thriller/Ceril/Sydney/Smith doing an info exchange to further that adventure. It ties in to a larger adventure, which revolves around an even larger adventure. It's planned out and should take several months to complete. Yes, months.

[The Factory of Spike]

What is Allspice and how can I get Javert into it?

[Tiltjuice]

I'll probably end up parking Dora, or else sending her on a story if someone wants her to tag along.

What is Allspice and how can I get Javert into it?

It's a long-running mystery that's going to be wrapped up shortly, ideally before the end of the month (IRL). The group that Luce mentioned gathering near the front of Chaos - especially Dia, one of my characters - is going on it. Getting Javert into it is as easy as asking Luce for an introduction. *nods*

[Swith Witherward]

What is Allspice and how can I get Javert into it?

Allspice is a mystery. Javert was talking with those people who are part of it: Ray, Luce, Dia etc. It's not too late, if you want to edit your post and have him there. His background would be ideal.

Ninja'd by Tilt.

Spike, very nice posts, by the way. I enjoy reading them.

[The Factory of Spike]

What sort of introduction?

Thanks Swithers. That was more detailed an answer than mine, as far as characters and exposition go.

What sort of introduction?

Have him get to know Luce a bit. Luce explained a bit of who and what he himself is, but he won't go any further without knowing more about Javert.

[Warpspace]

Your NS Nation's Nickname: Warpspace

Character Name: Ryn'enth'yn Wyn'cryk'yr is his proper name from his father. Darryl Weaver was used previously and given by his human mother for better interaction with those outside the local city's cult, as a name like Ryn'enth'yn tends to draw attention to oneself. Goes by 'Ryn' for simplicity's sake with non-Deep Ones or hailing from similar societies/cultures.

Character Gender: Male.

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Deep One Hybrid (Born 'Human', fully developed in his fifties when his Deep One parentage fully took over and mutated him into one of their numbers, albeit more humanoid than the baseline Deep One breed he hails from.)

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age): Currently, Ryn stands at a moderate five feet and eight inches and weighs slightly over two hundred pounds, largely due to some moderate muscle on his build and Deep One anatomy. His apparent age is impossible to detect thanks to his biology of being a Deep One hybrid, appearing to be, well, a fish-man, with little ability to tell apparent age compared to that of a human. In reality, Ryn is entering his hundred and fifty sixth year, marking it near a century since he developed into his true species after spending sixty years as a miserable human. Being biologically immortal, Ryn will only die from unnatural causes, and his health increase with age.

URL to Character Picture, if any:Being a hybrid, Ryn bears more similarity to a human than most Deep Ones, although he will develop more fish features with extreme age, along with greater power. Typically wears clothing similar to this.

Character Unique Skills(if any): Ryn is an artist by trade. Although not quite similar to a human artist- being a hyrbid, Ryn has around twenty light-sensitive cones in his eyes, as opposed to a human's three, and thus is able to perceive numerous rainbows of colors incomprehensible to humans- making his work and that of other hybrids and pure-blooded Deep Ones far more expressive and vivid than anything man has produced- rivaled only be other species with immense perception of color and the cosmos itself. His works are typically painting in carving, both of which utilize the psychic abilities of his fathering species to form works of eerie materials not present in the normal universe and imprint emotions into objects to affect the viewer's mind and provide greater impact of such works. Ryn is also working out the hijinks of teleporation and dimension crossing, but this more often than not leads to nasty things such as a Shoggoth popping out of some god-forsaken realm rather than aiding anyone. While it's safer for him as the gods smile kindly of those who trace their ancestry to Dagon and Hydra, it's a bad day to be a human in the nearby vicinity if things go awry. Hence why he typically puts wards everywhere before attempting to rip any holes in reality lest anything escape and ravage nearby younger races.

Character Powers (if any):

-Portal Creation/Manipulation: 6

Ryn is capable of tearing open portals into other dimensions (typically eldritch) to serve as either shortcuts/means of travel, or offensively to open up the gates for some horror of beyond to be released upon any enemies. Or even weaponize it directly, say embuing an axe to rip open dimensional gates to bisect enemies and ignore any armor they use (sucking part of them into another dimension). However, his use of this power is flawed, and while extremely power.... has a fifty-fifty chance of failing and resulting in catastrophic failures ranging from releasing a Shogoth onto unwitting civilians or ending up on the Moon instead of the next city block. While it does provide easy means of travel- take the subway instead if you lack the kinship of eldritch abominations.

-Emotion Manipulation: 3

Ryn is capable of manipulating the emotions of others, although lacks the scale to use this in any effective real-time way, rather he is capable of implanting emotions into objects- specifically his art so they emit a stronger response than normal in a humanoid being. For example, he could 'enchant' a painting as to invoke a feeling of pure sadness and joy simultaneously.

Character Weaknesses/Flaws: As previously mentioned, teleporation and dimension walking with Ryn typically has a fifty/fifty chance of some ungodly spawn from before time chewing your face off. While they treat him kindly for being a member of the extended family of ungodly monsters, he still often ends up wondering why the hell is he in the Alpha Centauri system when he simply was attempting to take a shortcut to the other side of town. It's led to him having several life scaring events despite his relatively 'young' age for a hybrid. Ryn also can be annoying by him being extremely eccentric and susceptible to drifting onto major tangents, resulting from his still young age as a Deep One and thus still amazed by how radically different life is rendered post his 'second birth' during his sixties. While it leads to a greater appreciation of life than most humans, it also causes him to annoying drift off on describing the indescribable psychedelic beauty of a piece of bread and how pitiful it is that such sights are imperceptible to human eyes.

Character Background/Biography: Ryn'enth'yn Wyn'cryk'yr, or known as Darryl Weaver, was born to a single mother from Anglo-Saxon/Norman descent in the Scottish city of Aberdeen during the 1860's. However, unlike most children of single mothers at the time, Darryl didn't grow up in grueling poverty, and rather he and his mother lived a well-supplied average life above the poverty line thanks to the support of both being members of the Aberdeen Dagon Cult that had existed there for well over two centuries. The boy soon found out his actual nature when his father visited around his seventeenth birthday , which, while a bit of a shock, he'd suspected something strange was involved with him somehow, considering how odd the cult's actions seemed compared to typical religions such as Christianity he often heard of from children outside the cult's influence. Life for Darryl however was largely unaffected by him being a hybrid. It quashed any of his dreams of going outside the city and making a name for himself in the human world, but fishing was a stable career at the time and kept him within the cult's protection.

As per usual, 'the change' started to hit in his forties to fifties, his skin slowly becoming wrinkled in the face with bumpy scales covering his body. Teeth sharpened, bones changed structure, and his face changed into that of some angler-like fish of the abyss. Gills grew, and by his sixties it was impossible for him to interact anymore with normal humans without drawing immediate fear for his monstrous appearance.

Why the character in Bielefeld/Occupation: Freelance Artist selling eldritch pieces of his work. Also on a bit of a vacation from his home city folded under the waves. The city's also currently right by it.

URL to Apartment Picture: The apartment is blatantly eldritch in appearance, with Ryn having done some decorating to the previously 'bland' room. The room itself is now a living creature, with a strange fleshy coral taking over it, the species likely extra-dimensional in origin or a sample taken from a local breed in his 'home' city in the frigid waters of Scandinavia. Its structure is like that of dead coral filled with a thick custard- only the bony parts of the organism are capable of movement can be visibly seen 'breathing' as if they were a lung. Tiny tendrils stick out of the fleshy pockets in the flexible yet stiff skeleton, tipped with psychedelic phosphorescent glands that change colors, typically raising and falling between ranges of colors imperceptible to the human eye and appear simply to be white or odd mixtures of purple. The floor (and ceiling) of the room is made of a thick, rough floor of fleshy coral stiffer than the columns dotting the room- similar in texture to the mats often laid in the front of doors to wipe one's feet on before entering a building. The color of the flesh and coral also changes, swinging between an eldritch rainbow of purples, blues, yellows, greens, and a vast range of the incomprehensible by human eyes.

Decorating the room is various objects, ranging from clay pots from forgotten Mediterranean civilizations detailed with iconography depicting Father Dagon and his children and prehistoric human cults dedicated to the worship of Dagon and breeding with his children. Alien papers pulped from prehistoric plants decorate the walls, adorned with Ryn's strange abstract and impressionist paintings birthed from the fusion of two races, with emotions weaved into the work just as the pigments.

Most notable of the room are two key objects. One being a great fish-tank made of organic glass birthed from tendrils twisting down from the coral ceiling- holding a strange collection of unidentified species of fish and mollusks. Second is a copy of the Necronomicon- guarded from driving unwary human readers mad by being written in ink invisible to human eyes.

IMPORTANT:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details: Ryn is a Deep One Hybrid, as per usual, his mother was a normal human while his father was the spawn of the Great Old One, Dagon. Like with all hybrids, he began the metamorphosis process from his original human anatomy into that of a Deep One during his fifties. Once completed, he was brought into the underwater civilization of the Deep Ones as another biologically immortal citizen to its numbers. Deciding to now use his unlimited time to pursue the ideas he had in his childhood that were denied originally by his blood, Ryn became an artist- studying for half a century before forging his career during the 1950's in Deep One society.

He's had recent news in the Deep One city in the Scandinavian seas that the city of Bielefield has turned up in the area (known to be some sort of wonky eldritch location), and has decided to damn any rules or taboo concerning full exposure to human society, and has decided to either temporarily or permanently move there to pursue new ideas for his works.

[Giovenith]

So we should park floaters as soon as we can?

[Tiltjuice]

So we should park floaters as soon as we can?

Yes, unless you want them to tag along in a story. I think there's potential for everyone.

[Giovenith]

Got it.

[The BranRiech]

So Kei's no longer in Allspice? I'm confused as to what she'll be doing right now. Swith has her in the Aegis thing, but I'd rather have her in Allspice, unless Tilt can go and get Drova for that. Then I can have Kei help with Aegis, and Toscha too.

[Rocopurr]

How could I get Lil into the teen club?

[The BranRiech]

How could I get Lil into the teen club?

How old is she?

[Rocopurr]

How could I get Lil into the teen club?

How old is she?

Fifteen. I should have made that clearer in her app. <.<

[The BranRiech]

Fifteen. I should have made that clearer in her app. <.<

Oh! That's fine, yeah, all she really needs to do is notice the teens sitting around.

[Primordial Luxa]

Dont worry too much about my thing. It can be pushed back to be made more convenient.

[New Aksarben]

could I possibly get a character in for either of the stories that are gonna go on? I'm guessing there won't be many people playing free-form characters and I'd rather not detract from them while they're going on

[Giovenith]

Going to send off the ponies home to park stuff, Bran.

[Torsiedelle]

After Dora says whatever to Katya, I guess I can park her.

[Urran]

Imma park ti and Blossom as soon as I can.


I'm really interested to see where this whole love triangle goes. Because of Yoshi's nature, it's going to be hard to get him to hate anyone. He might just end up putting up with Dora for Katya's sake which I think shows his willingness to sacrifice and just how much he cares for her.

[Urran]

I want to send Blossom on one of the stories but I don't have the time. Despite that fact I think it would be a great way to develop her more.

[South Romagnia]

Katya is a little impulsive. She really likes Dora, since she's known her forever. She trusts Yoshi firmly, however. She's also considerate of Tora's opinion, and Tora has strong opinions on a lot of matters.
