The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

DK, I almost never allow retcons and only with special circumstances and a lot of discussion ooc to deal with the inconsistencies. Never assume yes until you actually hear a yes. :/

The lights are out anyways, and yes, some of the machinery is running, building a shuttle. So there is some power running to the machines at least.

Yes. That last Djalos post never happened. Djalos isn't there.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

DK, I went back through and reviewed the posts in the event string with Adon, Sadie, and earlier at least, Djalos. There's some pretty personal conversations there between Adon and Sadie that probably wouldn't have happened with Djalos present. And there are other characters involved in different parts of the scenes as well. It's just too much of a mess trying to rewrite the whole event. So we're sticking with what we've already established. Djalos wandered off during the SIM, got caught up in a different aspect of the SIM, and so on. Basically Djalos had a major ADHD moment. Sadie and Adon got messages from Djalos, so we can have Djalos rejoin the group for the library expedition, but not the Headmaster's office.
Also, in case you've lost track of the details, Sadie doesn't know about the whole vestige binding thing. She's heard Adon reference Sir Allone, but as far as she knows this is some historical figure whose techniques Adon has been copying. (Technically true, but missing some key details there.) And Adon did ask Djalos not to "go blabbing about it". What you do with that information is up to you, but I wanted to provide the reminder about exactly who knows what and who doesn't and what your character has agreed to, so that you can act accordingly once your character rejoins the group.

Thank you for the info, Lyn. I'm sorry that I didn't take the time to fully review before posting.

It's okay. We all make mistakes sometimes. I'm not mad. Just try and remember to wait for an answer when you ask a question before forging ahead. We're all good. :)

Adon wouldn't know better, though.

So he'd still be all shy about it. (Because when is he not, anyway?)

Ok cool. I didnt want to say "theres no power but somehow the machines are still working" unless that's the honest impression he got. Thanks :P

Well, yes. But he's not doing that right now.

So there's a small list of characters Silinrul would love to meet:

Pan, Kor, Adsila, Kitty and the magical creatures teacher whose name I am forgetting.

Signed up for NaNoWriMo. Hopefully going to do it for real this year.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

A quick drive by post, so to speak. Hopefully more time later. :)

First appt of the week of scary doctors appointments is over. Hearing test came back better than normal (I'm not imagining that I can hear that stuff that nobody else does!) officially throwing out the mennieres diagnosis. Still no idea what is causing the vertigo though. Have to get more tests done. First one is scheduled for next week. I feel like the patient of the week on a medical drama here, where they have to try and solve the puzzle of what is wrong with me. :P

DK, I will be doing NaNo for my third year, so if you want to add me as a writing buddy, you can find me on the NaNo site as Lynora Pefhlawae. Same goes for anyone else doing NaNo this year. :)


I've always wanted to, but this year more than ever I do not have the time for it. I got halfway through poetry month with random prompts per day once though.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Hey Lyn,

Just curious, but what's going to happen to Damiani's PCs? While going over the characters I still want to bring into this game, I remembered one of them was supposed to be connected to Anahita, who hasn't been an active character in *long* time, and then I recalled she was the Champion of Life.

So yea just wondering what's gonna happen with them.


Speaking with no authority whatsoever and only from past experience, it's likely they'll remain in the background for now.

I'd suggest either working on others first or finding someone else to link them with, since we never know if/when the person will be back.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Well,

Considering Lyn just killed off Asch, Amada, Jim and Enre(I believe) but she's also trying to reassign FCD's characters, things could go either way. Or another.


Male Drow (noble) 14 Ranger

I'm pretty sure she has a replacement in mind for Enre, but not sure about the others.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Is somebody going to continue playing Enre, like I am with Ardiente, or do you mean she has somebody in mind to replace him being the Champion of Wrath?

Which, also brings up a different question:

Why is there no Champion of Battle/War?

I believe this has been asked before(possibly even by myself), and I think the answer was because that falls under Wrath.

However, in my reading of the backlogs, Wrath is supposed to be more akin to the emotional vengeance, retribution and the like, vs the unfeeling, neutrality of War.

War doesn't care why you're fighting, just that you are. Want to take over that neighboring kingdom? War. Your ally was attacked and you strike back? War. An enemy abducted your daughter? War.

Wrath, on the other hand, is definitely described as being vengeful. You're honor is gravely insulted. You're constantly ridiculed for being different.

It's like what Thomas Jane's Frank Castle said "Revenge is an emotional response. This is Punishment"

I feel like the various motivations for war fall under war, pride, and love
The unfeeling part fall under death


It might simply be that it's too complex to be one. Too big of a concept to fall into one category.

That and it would be really op, even for a champion.


Female Timelady Nerd 3/Geek 2/Whovian 13/Writer 2

As others said, War isn't a primal enough of a concept. Wrath is something that pretty much any organism with a complex enough brain feels. Something that can be traced back all the way when Australopithecus roamed the Earth. War is a relatively new concept.

Not working for this company, but I think Chronicles of Elyria needs as much attention as possible.

Yeah, I know it's not for everybody. Maybe someday you'll be able to though. It's a good experience for those who have a tendency to get caught up in perfectionism and hung up on details. ^.^

A replacement for the champion of Wrath.

Dami hasn't ruled out coming back after a break, so his PCs are in the background, while I have taken over NPCs and am following instructions on how to wrap things up for them. Ana is mostly in Mentor these days since that's where Vare got sent after he got sorta-kinda-notquite-actually-fired-but close-enough, although I suspect that she also drops in on Bradley now and then. But not that often actually. But some because the Champions are drawn to the place and can't really stay away that long. (Not really, actually, it's not the place that they're drawn too. It's ridiculously simple once you know what's behind it, but is apparently brutally difficult to guess. :P)

Anyhow, point is that Ana and Tryko'Sam are currently off-screen but not gone. If Dami decides in a few weeks to come back, then there they are ready to come back. If Dami decides in a few weeks that he really feels better not playing and isn't planning on coming back, then I'll wrap up their stories in some way or other. Which is what happened with the four Champions that died recently. You'll also notice some other characters being written out here and there. I tracked down players who said they might come back some day and asked if they were going to or not and they mostly said no. So I'm tying up loose ends.

FCD's characters were different since it wasn't a planned exit and that was the path of least disruption. All of those recent casualties belonged to players that went on sabbatical and never came back. And I contacted all of their players ahead of time to make sure it was cool. Sometimes you gotta give Evil a chance to stretch its wings, you know? And that means finding willing victims. ;)

War isn't a Concept in and of itself. It's a result. War can happen because of Wrath, or Pride, or Fear, or Love, or even Mercy. War can't be a player because it's the Game.


Not to add to all of the things for you to reply to, but that has made me wonder if you've talked to Dom about that at all? As to whether he'll be back around or not?

Not yet. I figured I'd work my way through the backlog I created for myself before potentially adding to it. :)


Alrighty. Hope that goes smooth for ya. ^_^

You diserve something to go right at least


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

YAY!!

I finally made it to when Ace and co show up!!

Ima keep reading though, there's so much I need to be reminded of.

EDIT:

Now that I am all caught up, whatever happened to the thieves Raz rescued in Kuros? There was a decent amount of them, right?

I'm guessing they just sorta faded in the background, but I totally have a cool concept for one of them, if possible.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Omg Dalesman, I just read the post where Fei is outside meditating and the lake forms. The matter of fact nonchalantness had me giggling in the pizza shop I'm in!!


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Okay, I think I'm caught up on everything for now. If you are still waiting on a reply to a post or a PM, let me know. It can be easy to lose track of one. :)


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Lyn or DB3, if either of you could answer my question in my edit above, that would be awesome.

Few things more things:

1) Man, Ace was rather jerky early on. It was hard to realise that while it was happening, but reading it all over again, dang. Sorry about that.

2) Would it be possible for a teacher to have classes in the highschool during the morning and then help with the elementary wing in the afternoon?

2B) Was thinking I would bring in a linguistics and sociology teacher(the character I mentioned before having been around at the beginning of last year but then left).

3) We're still in the first month(Sept equivalent) of Ace, David, Tybs, etc freshman year, right? Two weeks or so in, I believe?

EDIT: 4) Would it be possible to be a half-Kitsune?

Shadow Lodge

4) Vertically or horizontally? I need to know where and how to cut.


We've had most other percentages of kitsune before, so I don't see why it would be a problem. But we are getting a little crowded with them.

Diagonal. It's more dynamic that way.

;P


Male Drow (noble) 14 Ranger

as the creator of the kitsune, it would be a pain to come up with a half kitsune template. Best bet would probably be to re-skin the half-dragon template, but replace the stats with something more kitsune appropriate, and they would be locked to a fire breath weapon.


Female Human (three-tailed)

I'm like, at most, a quarter kitsune.

I use kitsune ststs with a few modifiers.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Is there an actual age cap for students?

Like, if a 20 year old showed up with some out of control powers, are they accepted? Put into a special program? Turned away? Something else?

0. They just faded into the background. That was DB3's thing, anyways, so that's as much as I know.

2. Yes, quite possible, especially if they teach an elective subject. We already have teachers that do this (like Fi as one example), so yeah, that works fine.

2.5 Let's maybe focus on some of the other stuff you have going on. Then bring this in later on down the line. I feel like it wouldn't get the attention it deserves if you brought this character in right now.

3. We're about three weeks into the school year, yes.

4. Negotiable but somewhat complicated.
