As soon as she gets the blip, she starts frantically pressing buttons on her wristband.
::Ryo, the wards are down...I just put the hatchery on lockdown. Going to get a visual confirmation that everything is okay there before I head to my lab.:: she said, taking off at a dead run.
::Tam, where are you? I could really use a hand at the moment. The school wards just went down.::
Aananda makes it to the hatchery quickly (the school shunted it closer to her), and she steps inside. It's keyed so that only members of her family can enter during the lockdown.
It's empty. The eggs all seem to be safe. There's a pleasant *beep* of machinery as the incubation equipment reports all's well.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
::Taron, Kam, Ephebe, Krays....where are you? The wards just went down. And there's...holy shit! The infirmary just blew up....The eggs are okay, but one of you needs to come and stay here just to be sure. I need to be in my lab to coordinate rescue attempts and try and find the source of all this.::
Dami things have changed. Gotta go. This makes sense.
While in the midst of communing with his deity, Ace suddenly gets an overwhelming sense that he is needed. He isn't sure who needs him, or why, but the feeling is almost absolute.
"I need to go. Somebody needs me." The Traveler gives his blessing, and Ace ends his spell.
He jumps off the table he was sitting on, grabbing up his staff, and is about to leave when he stops mid step. He looks around for Jaiye. That's who needs him. She is in serious, dire trouble.
Lyn I did a whoopsie: Ehos and Jaiye never made it back to the table, so Ehos never started his research. They are almost back though, so Ace will likely hear any shouting or battles.
Mel pauses for a moment I hope that this means she forgives me? Mel wonders after all why else would she divulge all of this.
this is apparently bigger than she really expected. and will require a bit of thought.
finally Mel answers Tam, honestly, I don't know, yet. of course running away isn't the right choice she looks to Ginni after what Mel said to her just minutes before and shrugs 'what?"
turning back to Tami, what we or I should say I, really need to do is learn all we, or I, can about what happens after you leave here. Then we need to discuss the situation with your family and find a solution that benefits both your your people and you as well. we are not going to have an answer today. and Dom needs to be a part of this. Also do we know who it is that we were supposed to be paired with? perhaps he could also be a part of this. [/b]
Mel thinks a minute I hope I am not talking revolution here.
"I think we should leave Ehos out of this. I don't think Dom or Jaiye would appreciate it if he and I were pretending to be a couple. And neither of us is interested. Even though it's a risk, I'd rather be honest," Tami said, shaking her head.
"You know," Raelle said, "there's all sorts of examples of state marriages actually causing more harm than good in the long run. My dad wrote a whole treatise on it when he was trying to convince the council to legally dissolve his marriage to Fi's mom...I don't think he'd mind if I gave you a copy." She shrugged. "You know...in case it might help you convince your mom."
The infirmary at this point is a destroyed section of school, the blast and such contained within it's walls, which usually were used to promote healing and the like-- a wreck of a facility.
Through various efforts, and now a 'wash' of holy energy flooding through, the undead that /were/ getting up, fall down destroyed.
Fires are fairly quickly and easily put out with appropriate abilities (i.e. cold, anti-fire techniques), while stopping whatever the acid melted from Roel continues mostly.
All said and done, unless there were infirmary people of note-worthy stats or levels (i.e. hit points), everyone in the place was blown up, re-animated if dead, and constitution drained for a few rounds during all of this.
With the rush of all these heroes into the room, it will get a bit claustrophobic, but all in all, it was and is a larger space for numerous people and beds, but most of those are melted and destroyed henceforth.
Essentially-- someone dropped a few bombs in here, and left some nasty surprises on what was left. More zombies need to be put down, which Yrrin appears to have no issues getting to right away, and Phae will find none of the employed healing staff made it out alive.
I'm out for the evening, should be back by 11pm or there about, Pacific time. Cheers. This 'event' is wrapped up in the infirmary, but we can safely say the place got semi-nuked. It was /not/ a gas line.
well I really wasn't interested in you pretending to be a couple with anyone else. but I thought that he should at the very least understand the situation as it evolves later on. also, I am hoping this means you forgive me about the song? because i really never meant to hurt you with it, I guess I'll have to think twice before playing songs from now on.
you can tell Mel is genuinely sorry for causing any distress. but she still want to defend her music and not give it up.
After finishing up his meal, Repp stands up, bowing and says."Gochisosama deshita, Tanaka-senpai. It has been a pleasure spending an afternoon with you both. I believe there may a disturbance going on inside the school, so it may be wise to stay in your rooms. I am going to go investigate."Before departing the room.
"Maybe we should go with you. It's usually a bad idea to go out by yourself if things do go bad."
Jaiye gets a sudden sense of danger and intensity as they're walking back to join Ace. She can smell... something unfamiliar. It reminds her slightly of Professor Sunwake - steel and sweat and something else.
Basically, Jaiye's sense of smell avoided her being completely surprised.
@Settro
Once again, that intense hatred is back, this time it's more definite in location: somewhere in the school library.
Jaiye looks around. "Who's there?" she said harshly, dropping the books she was carrying.
::Taron, Kam, Ephebe, Krays....where are you? The wards just went down. And there's...holy s*&#! The infirmary just blew up....The eggs are okay, but one of you needs to come and stay here just to be sure. I need to be in my lab to coordinate rescue attempts and try and find the source of all this.::
::Krays and I were in pursuit of a time traveler. They're probably responsible for at least some of the damage. They went towards the school and then we lost them. Young and/or female judging by the footprint. They're invisible and even true seeing didn't help. Protected by barred mind. Should we divert to the infirmary?::

Mel turns to Raelle May I have a copy as well?
"I don't see why not. It's pretty much just a scholarly discussion of the pros and cons of arranged state marraiges....not really exciting reading."
She wasn't sure what had happened. She had been sitting at her desk. And then...the wall exploded....something felt heavy on top of her. It was hard to breathe...
Nala's office is next door to the infirmary but not in it. She's still alive but wounded and trapped under rubble. At least until she's conscious enough to teleport out.
"eh, not sure, looks like acid, undead and gas bit of fire, all in all not good"
"Grammars hiary nurocks! What kind of a place is this? Da ya think we need to help, could be just a class?"
Carl try's to see if this is normal or not for the school, then a waves of positive energy replies out.
"Lad-e I eit to say this, but this is a fight all right, sum-et is very wrong, we best go see who's fighting who and help the good ens"
Carl looks for a way in if he can see in [blandsence 60' he will port in]
1d20 ⇒ 4 1d8 ⇒ 2 off 5'
[force armor up]
Soon as Carl gets in he gets to work moving stonework and other wreckage so that the still alive and not undead can be got to, as a walking JCB he did his best.
Virtually right as Jaiye had dropped the books and entered into her combat stance, there's a highly-powered bolt of plasma fired from some 25 feet away - a shot from an invisible target.
The plasma hits Jaiye square in the chest, burning hot, and the force of the blow may even knock her off her feet. Some of the plasma lights Jaiye's clothes on fire, but the rest doesn't stick, falling to the ground.
"I'm here to get revenge on you, that white-haired b#@~#, and this entire school. It is nothing but a lie."Comes the cold reply of the voice. The voice is virtually indistinguishable from either male or female, as they appear to be speaking from behind some kind of helmet or mask.
well I really wasn't interested in you pretending to be a couple with anyone else.
"I think she was answering me Mel, not you."Vai says with a quiet smile, standing demurely to the side."I'm sorry I don't have any better advice... I have no idea what I would do if I was in the same situation with Fei, Tami. I really don't. But I would feel as though my own heart was being ripped out if he was taken from me, so I'll do anything in my power to help you with this."
"You know, even if I have to scare your Mom with my dragon form."she says with a wink, not really serious - the dragons had enough problems on Agartha, after all.

the shackles hit the ground, and Settro is gone in an instant. He appears near the scorce of pain.
The heat of the plasma weapon - along with some stray splashes has also burned Ehos - though not nearly as bad as Jaiye. He charges at the spot where the invisible attack originated and tries to tackle their assailant. Either the attack has moved or Ehos' aim is terrible, as his reckless tackle misses and he hits the floor, slamming into a bookshelf painfully.

settro stands silent, and begins to cast a spell with no components.
Dom nods to the beautiful maiden. She is very yummy looking and a bit of flirt. If only it was a few days ago. He thought to himself. Knowing if he wasn't so in love with Tami he would be all over trying to take this girl to bed.
"Evening." Slowly he bows to the girl and smiles to her as he stands. "Are you an angel?" He asks though his voice seems slightly harsh as he said angel. "Oh please excuse me I should introduce myself. I am Dom Waverider, is there something you need hep with or just out to see?"
"Oh, I'm not an angel. Have you ever met one? They're far too stuffy and uptight. Life should be more free, right?"Rena says, though she is doing something slightly odd as they walk along. Her wings keep slowly flapping, barely even opening really, as if by instinct.
"I'm just out to meet people. I'm going to starting as a student here soon, hopefully."This new form was fantastic. Even a light brush against Dom seemed to send electricity racing down her whole body."I just wanted to meet more of my fellow students. What do you study here Dom?"
Just as Ehos decides to kick the crap outta a harmless bookshelf, Ace appears on the scene. His staff and his eyes glowing slightly, a pale gold. He sees that Jaiye has been injured, and rushes to her side, knowing she isn't supposed to die, can't die, not now.
He places his hand on her wound and channels curative energies into her. Spending 1 Moment of Inspiration to heal her using Opportunistic Piety for 45
"Thou art a coward, hiding behind your invisibility. It is not this girl's time yet. Reveal thine self and suffer my wrath, or begone!" Ace says in a voice that is not entirely his own.
"I think she was answering me Mel, not you."Vai says with a quiet smile, standing demurely to the side."I'm sorry I don't have any better advice... I have no idea what I would do if I was in the same situation with Fei, Tami. I really don't.

settro stands still, and in one more moment, an invisible sphere of force surrounds ace, settro, and Jayie.
"Maybe we should go with you. It's usually a bad idea to go out by yourself if things do go bad."
"I'll be fine, thank you for your concern though, Tanaka-senpai."his voice is almost supernaturally calming - full of a measured confidence. Kitty could almost believe him right there, such quiet dignity, without pride of any kind.
As the bolt hit her, Jaiye felt pain worse than she had ever felt before, save once. It burned, and then she couldn't feel it, but it was hard to breathe. It was likely that she'd just lost a lung. She couldn't find the person. Then Ehos leapt after them. She wanted to yell out for him to stop, but she couldn't seem to get enough air to speak let alone yell. And then the voice. She didn't recognize the voice. It could be anyone. She'd hurt so many people when she'd been Ssrena's lackey. Then Ace was there and it hurt again, but at least she could draw breath.
"Who?" she gasped. "I'm sorry, I hurt a lot of people when I was working for Ssrena, before she was expelled. I made a lot of mistakes. Don't you at least want me to know why you're getting vengeance?" she asked, looking around frantically trying to smell the attacker, trying to draw things out before they just outright killed her.
"Not particularly. I only want you to suffer. And I think I know a perfect way. Especially since you have pesky, interfering friends. I'll kill you later, when you do not quite have so many people around to gallantly rush to your aid."Jaiye catches a whiff of that same... something. It's familiar in /some/ way, but through the scents of burning flesh, and all the other people, she can't figure out what.
The kunai vanishes... vaporized perhaps... at the same time Ehos also vanishes as well as the scent of the attacker.

Carl moves another chunk of wreckage, nothing but an undead under it, Carl crushs it with the same wreckage, then looks around.
"Why would any one do this? there medics here and doctors, why harm and kill them?"
he collapses more wreckage, its seems to be a door, looking into a whats left of a privet room he finds a badly hurt student, who looks to be in shock.
"I got a live one here TinMan, she needs healing fast" Carl gos over to the girl, shes no more than 13, he says to her,
"Its all going to be alright lass, where here ta help ya, some helin and you will be a as right as rain"
I can burn MoI to get another standard action. I was waiting to see if there was a response to me, before I did so.
I'll let you /try/, for the sake of story. Not guaranteeing anything. Remember that sphere of force will be up no matter what. Also remember you have no idea that they are about to teleport away.
Um, no, I don't. I can burn 3 MoI per standard action I wish to take. I have 19 left, divide by three equals 6 total standard actions, if I so choose to spend them that way.
Ace, seeing that Ehos is in a bad way after his flying body tackle into the innocent bookshelf, teleports to his side. Spending 3 MoI for Cunning Surge.
I will pause here and let FCD respond, before teleporting Ehos back, if possible.
She wasn't sure what had happened. She had been sitting at her desk. And then...the wall exploded....something felt heavy on top of her. It was hard to breathe...
Nala's office is next door to the infirmary but not in it. She's still alive but wounded and trapped under rubble. At least until she's conscious enough to teleport out.
Nala may have been a bit dazed and such, but after a moment, she discovers herself in a hallway, elsewhere from the Infirmary, (don't they all appear the same) with clean air and no massive weight atop her.
A young man, dark hair, charming and the like, helping her out says, "You okay miss? Take your time, you might be injured... you're okay, the wall atop you is gone."
Tryko'Sam kneels near Nala and ensures she's doing well, lacking any serious healing skills, but at least taking the time to ensure she's good.
"Best I can tell, some sort of attack on the infirmary-- just hang on, looks like a few other students or something are showing up to help out."
Should anyone be interested a play-by-post possibility for those really wacky characters that you might not get a chance to play in the normal run of things.
It's a rules super light game based in the same world as Realms of Agartha (Here is the original Agartha thread for anyone who is interested. Not required reading, kinda different setting, but can give you a good feel for how rules light plays.), though it's not necessary to have read or even be remotely familiar with that thread. I'll gladly fill you in on the basics. Basically the action would be taking place in a school for magical youngsters. Think a mashup of Hogwarts and the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. Existing characters include weredragon triplets and a good-aligned demon. Power level starts in the mid to upper teens. This is really the beauty of rules almost free, it actually supports that without making you want to tear out hair trying to keep track of all the details. Cause sometimes its fun to play superheroes. :)
We do use dice rolls, but sparingly, and if you have a concept that isn't easily supported by existing rules we can help you cobble together something that works since really all you need is a basic idea that lets you know what to roll for attacks, saves, damage, etc. The focus is more on the shared storytelling aspect of the game.
Power level is mid to high teens. Loosely Pathfinder/3.5 based. The current thread has been going for a couple of months, but we've had a few players drop out, so need to fill a few slots.
In game it's about two weeks into the term, so you can choose to be a late transfer or easily say that you've been there all along and just hadn't interacted with the main story before.
Rules light means don't sweat the numbers. Rule of cool wins over RAW every time. :)
All you need to know is your attack bonus, AC, saves, and maybe a few key skills, but really there's a lot of handwaving and it's okay to improvise. The focus of the game is on cooperative storytelling rather than crunch.
Feel free to take a look at the thread and read through a little bit of it if you want to see how it looks in play.
What do you want by way of a stat block or back story?
I think I will run with a human savant. Sorry but I really do not want to ready 3800 post so let’s just say he is late. If it will not work I can think more. The kid from Mercury Rising is about what I want to play.

As far as stat block goes, just have a basic concept of your ability scores (we use the handwaving point buy system), know your attack bonus, saves, AC, maybe a few key skills if you like. And watch your power level. Your concept sounds like it might be a bit weak as is. I don't want you to not have fun because you handicapped yourself too much.
You don't have to write me a book on backstory. Give me a synopsis and maybe a few key things that I can use to draw your character into the story. You can feel free to relate details (or not) as the story progresses.
Also:
Spoiler:
I'm not opposed to the concept, but as a personal favor I'm gonna have to ask you to tread lightly with this one. As the parent of an autistic child that is some emotionally charged territory for me. If done right, that is a concept that I can really respect and appreciate. Heck, that's one of the things I really love about the tv show Bones. It does an amazing job of showing an autistic person struggling to relate to the world around them without making it something to be pitied or being preachy. But if the character you have in mind is more of a caricature, I am not the person to do that around. Figured it was better to just be up-front and tell you that now.

To give you an idea of what she means by this, here is a list of current characters that I made just yesterday.
EDIT: I did not make all the characters yesterday, just the list. As you can see all of them are pretty crazy.
EDIT 2: Not all of these characters are mine, and those that are aren't always active.

Yes, this is definitely the place to try out those crazy character concepts that wouldn't work anywhere else. :)
There are a few more characters that aren't on that list, but they are the ones who are on hiatus or are only posting occasionally.
Two gargoyles sat at the bar, talking as they attempted to drown their sorrows in copious amounts of ale.
"Disgraceful, that's what it is, Bert," the first gargoyle opined mournfully.
"Got that right, 'Arry," said the second one. "Time was folks was honored to get an invite to be attending the Avalon Academy. Ask a body in they would, maybe even give ye a bite to eat or suchlike while they asked all their bloody questions."
"Yer, and now ye ain't barely able t' get the words out afore they slam the door in yer face. If I ever get my hands on the fellows what's been spreading these rumors about it being dangerous there, well..."
Just tell me if you think this will work or if you want me to change anything.
Char Info:
True Name: Unknown
Given Name: Tom
Class: Technically Summoner
Race: Assumedly Human
Alignment: Neutral
Age: ??
Height: 4’4’’
Weight: 77lb
Description:
Tom looks like a basic young boy. He has common slacks and a light blue tunic. He has vivid green eyes and a wide happy smile on his face. He has no shoes but his feet seem to look rugged.
Personality:
Tom is extremely inquisitive, but also seemingly lost. Since the point in time when he was first spotted he has not said a single word to anyone. He does seem to speak, but the word are not in any known language, nor consistent. He really does not pay all that much attention to his surroundings, which really causes issues due to the fact he reacts somewhat aggressive to fear.
Tom has an innate ability to create small living creatures seemingly at will. This ability most includes very small things like butterflies, spiders, or other bugs. Aside from the bugs he also seems to really like colorful fish and flowers.
He really does not have any desire to follow the standard structure of society. Due to the fact he can substance himself with food, water, and shelter the traditional structure of society is irrelevant. If given simply motivation he will follow others due to his inquisitive tendencies. Interesting creatures, people, or things tend to make him happy.
Back-story:
Tom was found walking down the middle of the road about 6 months ago. Before that time he had never been seen.
A few different vastly intelligent creatures have spent some time attempting to understand what Tom really is, but no one is really sure. The current competing options range from sentient life force, to lost construct. Everyone has concluded he looks like a young boy, but he most certainly is not one.
The power that be decided to send Tom to the Avalon Academy
Well I find this interesting I would need levels at least, I dont like being all powerful or having a slanted advantage. Kinda takes away from the point to me. Characters need a goal/purpose and gaining levels, money, inflence, etc etc is the means and so the adventure. I like being able to play pretty much anything but if their is nothing at the end or even the illusion of an end then just does not seem fun. How can characters evolve or even grow with out the real threat of failure at least if not death.
But then again I may not know what I am talking about so if you can clear this up for me then please do.
Just tell me if you think this will work or if you want me to change anything.
** spoiler omitted **
It sounds like a solid concept, but I have two concerns.
The first one I've already mentioned is power level. Now, I will say this, if you start and then discover that you're way too weak, you can always have your characters powers evolve as he gains more control over them, bringing in more powerful abilities.
The second is how is this kid going to relate to or even notice the other students? He doesn't have to be socially skilled, but I'd hate for the plot to always be passing him by. What are his points of interest? His obsession if you will. There's usually something.

There is threat of danger/failure/occasionally even death. But the goal/purpose is generally more story driven rather than levels, money, etc. Abilities can and do develop over time, and as DB3 said, that's the real purpose of the school. To help the students gain control of and develop their powers. I'd suggest maybe reading the first page or two of the thread to get a feel for how things play out. There are definitely rivalries, enemies to defeat, long-term goals and so on. And trust me, while the characters are powerful, there are plenty of things out there that are more powerful than they are.
This would be the situation when he spontaneous summons everything in his power to stay safe. He can do more than just play with butterflies.
TWO: Get into the game
Interesting creatures, people, or things tend to make him happy.
I assume I will find something about the other players that will fall into this category. After I get him going, and get a better idea of the other players I will hook him into the plot.
He is more or less the embodied sprite of a forest.
Okay, cool, that gives me something to work with.
When you say that he is interested in life do you mean that he likes to observe other creatures' behavior? or more like biological processes? outward appearances? It sounds like he and EJ, the recently 'born' intelligent ooze, might have some interesting interaction should their paths ever cross. :)
When you say that he is interested in life do you mean that he likes to observe other creatures' behavior? or more like biological processes? outward appearances?
At this time he does not understand what he is, but he likes to create life, and down the road the stuff he calls forth will start lasting longer and longer until it is permanent.
In time he will understand what he is and more than likely start a new forest. When he starts a new forest he will no longer exist as a humanoid.
Here are a few questions of reflection?
What are the emotions of a tree when the morning sun comes over the horizon?
What is the first thing a seedling would say when it eclipses the crust of the earth?
Why does a duckling or other bird work so hard to free itself of the shell?
Does a spring rain drop speak with the plants as it falls to the earth?
Does a seed try to find the best soil?
Does my house plant get upset when I turn it away from the window?
So would I be able to make a character with some interesting Templates?
I'll need to think about it, but Ive always got some interesting ideas for that or maybe just an interesting personality to play. Halfling wizard (maybe SUmmoner) with a napoleon complex comes to mind.
Edit: Halfling wizard with a napoleon complex who was cursed with a permanent reduce person effect. lol!

Also, I love that character idea. You don't want to know how many times I watched/read the Borrowers when I was a kid....in other words I think that character sounds like a ton of fun. :)

I GOT IT! Permanently reduced halfling with a Napoleon complex who is a master summoner. He can't kick your a$$, but he can summon something to do the job for him. LOL Maybe with a template or two.
Both of you guys can head over to the discussion thread if you like to iron out details. As you can tell we get a bit quiet on the weekends, but now it's Monday and things are back in full swing. :)

Hey, out of curiosity, are you still planning on joining the game? If you are just let me know. Thanks.
Feel free to hop on over to the discussion thread to iron out details, ask questions, and figure out how you want to make your entrance if you would like to join the game. There's a link a couple of posts up. You'll need to give her a couple more levels, but don't see any other immediate problems. The anti-dragon sentiments in Agartha don't extend to the miniature variety.
Are there gods and goddesses in this world. I've an idea for a centaur cleric of Shelyn or her counterpart. :)
Yes there are. Any that you like. Thus far most of the gods that we've used are a bit more well, made up on the spot, to be honest, but that doesn't mean you can't worship a more established deity. It sounds like a good concept. Are you thinking you'd like to be a student or a teacher?
Please do not be intimidated by the wall of text near the end there. One of the other players has a cool but very complicated concept, and we're still working some of the bugs out. Sometimes when we have to just make up rules to fit a concept they don't work exactly right the first time and have to be adjusted a bit first.
Also, I'm going to be working on a quick primer of everything you need to know about Agartha this weekend, so hopefully that will make it easier for newbies to catch up and figure out what's going on.

SPECIAL ABILITIES<br>
=================================================<br>
Bloodline Arcana Whenever you cast a spell of the compulsion subschool, increase the spell's DC by +2.
Cantrips You learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spells, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Dragon Traits (Ex) Dragons have Immunity to magic sleep effects and paralysis effects. Dragons breathe, eat, and sleep.
Fey Bloodline The capricious nature of the fey runs in your family due to some intermingling of fey blood or magic. This tends to make you more emotional than most, prone to bouts of extreme joy and rage.
Fey Magic (Su) You may reroll any caster level check made to overcome spell resistance. You must decide to use this ability before the results are revealed. You must take the second result, even if it is worse. You can use this ability at will.
Fleeting Glance (Su) You can turn invisible for 15 rounds per day. This ability functions as greater invisibility. These rounds need not be consecutive.
Immunity to Magical Sleep (Ex) You are never subject to magic sleep effects.
Immunity to Paralysis (Ex) You can never be paralyzed.
Laughing Touch (Su) You can cause a creature to burst out laughing for 1 round as a melee touch attack. A laughing creature can only take a move action and can defend itself normally. Once a creature has been affected by laughing touch, it is immune to its effects for 1 day. You can use this ability 7 times a day.
Poison (Ex) Sting-injury; save Fort DC 14; frequency 1/minute for 10 minutes; effect sleep for 1 minute; cure 1 save.
Telepathy (Su) You can mentally communicate with any other creature within 60 feet that has a language. It is possible to address multiple creatures at once telepathically, although maintaining a telepathic conversation with more than one creature at a time is just as difficult as simultaneously speaking and listening to multiple people at the same time.
Woodland Stride (Ex) You can move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at your normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect you.
Hey, out of curiosity, are you still planning on joining the game? If you are just let me know. Thanks.
Sorry, been out of touch lately. Unfortunately no. I've got too many school obligations. Though I still love the character concept. Feel free to steal it.

If your schedule ever opens up, consider this a standing invitation to join the game.
