Personification Life OOC Thread X [sign-up & planning]

[Nationstatelandsville]

So, at long last, the day I was both eagerly anticipating and dreading has come: my final post-treatment checkup.

I'm stoked. It doesn't mean "forever cured" so we'll need to keep an eye on things, but now we can focus on getting me back to full health. That's going to take time, unfortunately.

Anyway, THANK YOU... all of you... for your love and support, the stuff in your sigs (which actually lifted my spirits on a daily basis!), your kind words, and your determination to keep PL going strong on those days I couldn't do a thing. I love and appreciate each of you.

Such always to those who defy you.

It is a matter of tremendous strength to deal with these things, so I must applaud you for that. Few people can claim such fortitude.

CONGRATS!!!!

[Swith Witherward]

Thanks, All. Your words and kindness mean the world to me.

And now I shall go back under my rock.

I already claimed this rock... That's why one should never leave their rocks unattended.

Goodnight PL.

[Torsiedelle]

Way to go, Swithers

So yeah...I thought that MEPS was Friday, so I didn't bother to pack anything...turns out it was Thursday, and I got out today...

That's why I haven't posted. It was actually kind of fun, staying in a fancy Renaissance Hotel and then chilling out after the examinations....except for taking a blood sample. Fuck that. I hate needles.

[Warpspace]

Just a note, if I write something in italics for Gefrei, it's because he's either speaking Norman French or Latin. Staff/daemons/gods/people from his period would obviously understand him, but to the "normal" (I use this term loosely) characters from Volutrius to Katya, they only hear gibberish.

[Tiltjuice]

Post coming tonight as per usual.

[Cerillium]

My schedule over the next week will be (predictably) hectic. CoOPs are covering nicely. Please bear in mind that some features can't be covered well. These would include some of the little details that pad our world such as The Times articles or my NPCs. Thank you for your patience.

Your NS Nation's Nickname: Primordial

Character Name:Aegis

Character Gender:Male

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc):Luxan

Character Physical Description:A large masked man wearing a massive cloak.

URL to Character Picture, if any: here

Primary Skill or Power:Luxan Military Training: Skilled with a host of different weapons ranged and melee. Skilled hand to hand fighter. General combat and survival training. Basic medical knowledge. Other obvious military skills. His body has also been made stronger, faster and more resilient with a host of combat steroids.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws:Many skills rely on having teammates and fellow soldiers. His body requires an enormous amount of calories to sustain. Aegis starves at three times the normal rate of a human.

Secondary Skill or Power:Cloak of Fire: Aegis can wreath himself in weaving, glittering points of light, each spark dragging a luminous trail of flicking white hot flame. Sealed within the cloak he can hover a few inches off the ground. This allows him to burn and light various things on fire with ease by simply touching them. This effects things which don’t typically burn like rocks and metal.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws:While the fire doesn’t burn him it is incredibly painful when he does touch it. This occurs whenever he touches anything else as it pushed the cloak against his body.

Character Background/Biography:Aegis grew up a fairly traditional Luxan existence with the notable exception that he went insane at the age of 15 and was forcibly to committed to an asylum. Not an entirely strange occurrence in Luxa but one which gives him a great amount of guilt and caused him to sever most connections with his family. Since this time he has become quite the stoic only showing real emotion when his mental illnesses flair up. Soon after he joined the Luxan Military and participated in two major military campaigns during which he become quite the well award soldier. Eventually he was moved to more safe work and became a guard for various Luxan Embassies. When Primordial was establishing a crew for his first DEiMOS expedition he chose Aegis as a security detail.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation:Aegis is a Luxan Soldier assigned to Primordial as a security detail for the Luxans.

Your NS Nation's Nickname:Primordial Luxa

Character Name:Insidious

Character Gender:Female

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc):Luxan

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age):A skinny nudist with color changing skin and short hair.

URL to Character Picture, if any:here

Primary Skill or Power:Enhanced Biology: Insidious has modified her entire body with additional organs and advanced body parts. This gives her moderately enhanced strength, stamina, speed, as well as dozens of auxiliary organs.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws:This body requires an enormous amount of calories to sustain. Insidious starves at three times the normal rate of a human.

Secondary Skill or Power:Loci: Loci are powerful arcanotech relics which look like eye shaped balls. When inserted into a person’s eye socket they manifest strange mental manipulation powers. Insidious has two which she can replace her left eye with. One allows her to her to read minds and the other allows her to control people’s minds.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws:Her Loci can only effect one person at a time and can only be used on people whose eyes she can see. People of sufficient willpower or defenses against such effects are immune. She can only use one Loci at a time. Her mind reading one can only access surface thoughts and ideas, but she can push it to access memories at great physical stress. Her mind control one can only force people to do very simple commands and if the command is blatantly suicidal or dangerous to their loved ones or themselves they can try and resist. Players will be asked before this ability is used.

Character Background/Biography:Insidious was born in Natlus in a very traditional Luxan household and made friends with Primordial when the two of them attended Lavi University. However during her stay at school her family went missing and presumed dead. This suddenly loss caused her to lose faith in the goodness of reality, however in order to avoid becoming cynical she gained a morbid sense of humor. This allows her to be incredibly upbeat and cheerful. After college she became a semi-famous biological artist and was hired by Eden inc. as a surgeon. They have stayed in touch since then and when Primordial got put in charge of the first DEiMOS he chose her to join him team.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation:Insidious is an old friend of Primordial who has journeyed back with him to Bielefeld.

Heya, PLeeps. Got some apps to look over, and I'll edit them as needed.

Your NS Nation's Nickname: TNEL
Character Name: Crysal va Iracuse

Character Gender: Female

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Arkadacian / Culdranth (explanation for that is below)

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age): As an Arkadacian, she stands approximately 6'7 and has a weight in the lower two hundred pound range. As a Culdranth, she stands approximately 3'5 and weighs around 45 pounds. Appears to be in her early twenties, though is approximately 9,000 years old, give or take.

URL to Character Picture, if any: Arkadacian / Culdranth

Primary Skill or Power: Plenty of Experience (Being raised in an excessively hostile environment, not to mention actively seeking out excessively hostile environments has taught Crysal much about combat. While her specialties lie in outdated weaponry such as axes, maces, and shields, she's still quite capable in a fight, and knows how to operate firearms. She's also a fairly effective leader of small groups. Her enchanted armor also renders her as almost a walking tank, requiring either massive amounts of blunt force, or a high caliber round designed for armor piercing in order to get through it.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Naturally, she isn't as much of a commanding presence when she's shifted into her more rabbit-like form, nor is she as effective. She also isn't superhuman (well, by Arkadacian standards), and can be defeated given enough effort. The armor's also quite heavy.

Secondary Skill or Power: I Can't Decide (After a mishap involving time travel and magic, Crysal found herself merged with a rabbit and stuck as a rabbit-like creature. After spending some time at a Mage's College it was eventually sorted out, and she can switch between the shapes freely.)

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: It's not exactly shapeshifting. She's got two forms, that's it. One is stronger, taller, and more powerful, the other is more designed for getting around easily and without stirring up too much controversy. It also takes upwards of five minutes to change, so it's not something that can be done repeatedly and rapidly.

Character Background/Biography: Born the second daughter of a chieftan's second wife, named Ciry of the Sal (which later morphed into Crysal, or "Haunting Spirit"), Ciry had a relatively normal childhood for the time. Gathered berries and supplies for her tribe, and was beginning to learn hunting when disaster struck. The tribe's seer had long been going mad (later suspected to be from mushroom abuse brought on by religious rituals), and gave off the tribe's location to a band of war-like raiders. Fleeing the destruction with her younger sister in tow, the duo were rescued by a drifter and raised by her. After wandering Primordial Tinell for a few centuries and even stepping into Ancient Europe, the two returned home at approximately 6,000 years B.C.E, founded an empire (story for another time, that one), and vanished a decade or two later, only returning to their homeland when they were 'needed' (this usually involved putting Crysal's family back on the throne, rather than strictly humanitarian goals). This continued until 1453 AD, when the two were separated in the siege of Constantinople. Crysal, assuming her younger sister had been killed in the confusion, fled the scene, unaware that her sister had survived. And harbored a grudge. Wandering and conquering yet again, she reunited with her sister in 2015, barely avoiding a violent confrontation.

After assuring her family was secure on the throne yet again, Crysal slipped away from her home country with little more than a note and a white rose.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: Aimless wandering on her way across the planet.

An ancient traveler, warrior-queen, and explorer, Crysal has stopped by Bielefeld with her younger sister to explore a place she's only glanced over before, and now wants to spend a little more time here. She's also capable of changing her shape, though only between two forms.

Your NS Nation's Nickname: TNEL

Character Name: Adrisal Iracuse (Prefers to go by Adri)

Character Gender: Female

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Arkadacian

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age): Five feet tall, nine inches. 95 pounds. Appears to be about eight years old but in actuality, is a few years short of 9,000.

URL to Character Picture, if any: http://i58.tinypic.com/dbi3gg.jpg

Primary Skill or Power: "Smoke-form"

The combined ability to spit out foul-smelling and potentially incapacitating smoke from her mouth and nose as well as to briefly transform herself into pure smoke and move around, being incapable of touching anything or interacting but also incapable of being touched or interacted with.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Becoming smoke is physically taxing and five sustained minutes in that form would be like sprinting at top speed for ten minutes. She is also incapable of actually killing with her smoke, only crippling for a few hours.

Secondary Skill or Power: Knife Fighting
Time spent in the mountains of Nepal and accompanying Nepalese troops during the Anglo-Nepal war taught her a thing or two about the use of knives. More specifically, the well-known Khukri. She carries one on her at all times and despite her small frame is agile and at least strong enough to land several powerful chops on an opponent's body.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: She isn't exactly a marathon runner and as such will get tired in sustained and direct fights. In the case of multiple opponents she will most likely flee.

Character Background/Biography: Born to a small tribe in Neolithic Tinell, Adri was raised alongside an older sister (Crysal Iracuse) who is generally much more known and popularized in historical records. While she did share the trait of not-aging with her sister, it started, rather tragically, at age eight, essentially leaving her with the form and occassional emotional status of a child. She accompanied her throughout her quests and trials until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, where (according to her), she witnessed her elder sister flee the scene and abandon her in the chaos. She survived and fled east to Asia, where she spent the next several hundred years wandering, usually following groups of soldiers whom she would pray for and offer spiritual advice to, no matter what the religion. During the 1940's she found herself at the scene of a nuclear explosion, and while far away enough to escape being vaporized, she lost her left eye to the intense heat and suffered burns to the left side of her face, which have mostly healed by now, just leaving somewhat tattered fur on her. Slowly making her way back to the western side of the world, she finds herself in a place that doesn't resemble the world she left in 1453. A new Europe and a country she had only heard of awaited her... But of course, she had to take one step at a time. After reuniting with her elder sister in what was almost a catastrophically violent confrontation (the fight had to be broken up with riot weapons), the two have been working on repairing their friendship and, after a brief stint as empress of Tinell, Adri's returned to Bielefeld with her elder sister.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: Part of the Tinellian faith revolves around spreading the religion and encouraging others to join through good deeds. Assisting those in need, helping to steer people on the correct moral path, and providing a good face for the religion. Though she holds no official ties to the organized faith (besides a healthy relationship with the Arch-Druid), she still intends on following her chosen deities to the letter.

Awesome-tastic. I'll get the two moving in / back in either today or tomorrow, barring sudden schedule changes.

Hello! I'm back! Sorry for my long absence. I'll be posting this weekend.

Please don't post yet as you were dropped from roster. You may have to reapply and re-intro your char as the IC has moved along during your absence.

"I'm totally gonna get some sleep tonight!"

What a fool I was. I went to lay in my bed for 5 hours straight with a 9-hour work shift to look forward to on the day ahead, and I still couldn't get to sleep. I'm seriously debating calling in sick today.

Maybe I'll stay up until my mom wakes up and see what she says.

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

I sent Adri and Crysal to the front desk. Sorry if I'm a little out of the loop, been a good... month or so since I've participated here.

Okay, I'll get a quick post up for you. I know Dora and Gefrei are there at well, but they're frozen until Tilt posts. I'm going to give Warp a small bump to keep him active.

Tilt, if you can't post, let me know. The cultist was chosen because he's an omniglot.

TNEL, thanks for pointing out the 't'! I've edited my post... and nobody copy my typo! Crysal... not Crystal.

Are there any posts owed anywhere? I can help unfreeze a bit later on tonight. Or, if I've overlooked a post (highly likely given my level of stupidity last week), apologies to you and please TG the link to me so I can get stuff moving!

PSA: Please remember to turn off your Monfrox during the night. Your Monfrox needs its rest and relaxation to work to full capacity. Though that capacity may fluctuate during nominal operating levels, it is severely hindering when proper rest is not part of the equation. Take care of your Monfrox and it will take care of you.
