Lynk quietly retreated away from the growing crowd, turning his attention towards one of the nearest windows. "With respect, I must decline. I appreciate your investigative approach, but I would not surrender my own privacies, even in the name of thoroughness." "Along that same logic, perhaps we should consider seeing what is occurring outside of our sanctuary? Could this phenomenon be limited to this location, or it's residents?"
"Fascinating. That was, unexpected." Lynk's hand reached out to touch the Male selection hovering in front of him. ************************************* Kimmy's eyes widened in surprise and shock. 'Oh dear. I'm definitely going to have to clear my schedule for the foreseeable future. I'm sure the professor will understand.' She opened another access point on her terminal and immediately began compiling all available information on Yggrasil from every site she could. ************************************* "I do not recall any mention of another version of Yggrasil" Lynk said. "That seems almost impossible to keep secret, given the tremendous populace."
I didn't take Leadership so not sure about the NPC's. Could you clarify how the NPC's are to be built, or if you are building them? I need to finish my character background. Once that's done, I'll flush out the familiar/animal companion.
"Greetings" Lynk said as he lowered himself into a formal bow. "One last foray into the darkness...I wouldn't miss it. I hope you are well" he said, placing his hand on Desseer's shoulder. He looked slowly looked around the dining hall, taking it all in. Found memories rose to the surface, many nights sharing stories and meals with his guild mates. Pulling his hand back, he clapped them together in front of his chest. "Is there anything on the agenda for tonight?"
Kimmy stood up and looked at the chair she had spent the last few hours putting together. Her hands were smudged with grease and her knuckles were red from the few times the wrench had slipped. She stood up and stretched before heading to the bathroom to wash up. She didn't have much time left before her rendezvous. Lynk's eyes opened up as he raised his head up. He was in his laboratory, as was often the case when he awoke. He strolled around the room slowly, gently touching some of the tools and machines spread around the table in front of him. Days and days he had spent in this room, hard at work mixing and measuring and creating. He had served as a quartermaster of sorts to the others, when they weren't out seeking riches and glory. That reminded him, he was supposed to join the others. He glanced around the lab one last time fondly before exiting the room and closing the door. The walk to the dining room was bitter-sweet. He had never really longed to join a guild, but now that it was all coming to an end, he knew he was going to miss it. He understood the value that his companions provided, but more than that, he had felt a kinship with them, one that Kimmy never really felt in her world. "My apologies for my lateness. I was lost in my craft."
Sorry, had a long post get eaten, and then had a death in the family. I should have a post up today or tomorrow at the latest.
I'd rather not be the guild master, although I can if no one else wants to either. I think based off of character discussions, Saashaa's character may be the better choice. Seems like Vegecannibal and I are more physical than mental, but I could be wrong. I vote for Grippli as a serving force. I don't know why.
Nickadeamous here. Background below, but still a work in progress. Just wanted to drop in and say "greetings". Lynk is a Alchemist (vivasectionist) 7 / (earth) Kineticist 7 Kyton-spawn tiefling with the [Apostle Kyton] template. He likes to throw metal around in some form or another. I like Seeds of Slaughter. I want to be the scalpel. Feedback welcome, as are any suggestions on how I can be useful or contribute. Lynk will have some skills, can craft potions and alchemical items, but is mostly a ranged damage dealer. Lynk and Kimmy: Kimmy was a perfect student. She studied hard, had a perfect GPA, and was planning her future college before she could even drive a car. She was active in school activities, tutored other kids, even older kids occasionally, and volunteered on the weekends at the local food shelter. Her parents couldn’t be prouder. She was pretty in that cute, school-girl kind of way. Never really trying to be, but she was nonetheless. She just had a way about her. She could talk to anyone about anything and even people that didn’t like her really still kind of liked her. It was hard not to. She was just so pleasant and polite. Eventually the fateful day came. Kimmy graduated and moved away to school. Being away from home was like being in a different world. One would hardly know it, but Kimmy did struggle at first. Still, it didn’t take her long to make friends and acclimate to her new environment. That was until she met him. Her friends invited her out to a party that she really didn’t want to go to to begin with, but she eventually gave in. It was there that she met him. The boy. At first she didn’t even realize she had a crush. It’s not like she had had one before. Before long they were dating and Kimmy was in love, or so she thought at the time. It was during her time with this boy that she was introduced to the world of DMMO-RPG. The concept was so foreign to her. Be whoever you wanted to be? As if she had ever thought about being anyone else. Kimmy was polite though, and wanted to learn about things that this boy was interested in so she gave it a chance. It was eye-opening for Kimmy. If Kimmy could be described as a ray of sunshine, than her online persona was the complete opposite. It was darkness, darkness and hatred given form. And that form was Lynk. She doens’t know where the name came from. It was like she didn’t pick it at all. It was just there. It was always there. This form of pent up aganst, fury, and cruelty all bundled into one subconscious nightmare given an outlet, and that outlet was Yggdrasil. It started innocently enough. Making a character. Joining a group. Following around some other more experienced players and learning as she went. Earning rewards was what really hooked her though. She was used to earning rewards, but in school that took months of effort and generally didn’t get you much more than a piece of paper or a hunk of plastic to sit on your desk. Here, in this alternate reality, rewards compounded. The more you got, the more you were empowered to get. It was a new high unlike anything she ever felt. It was life-altering for Kimmy, and for Lynk, and she quickly forgot about the boy. Lynk manifested as Kimmy’s complete opposite. Where she was well-mannered, Lynk was crude. Where she was caring and empathic, he was cruel and vindictive. Where she would help anyone, he would take from anyone. He was practically one of those goth boys that she had seen at school, complete with the dark hair and make-up, piercings, and tattered clothes. Eventually Lynk took over most of the time. Kimmy was still in school, and still attending classes, and while her grades were definitely slipping, she was still on a full academic scholarship so she had plenty of time in the day, or rather Lynk did. She stopped visiting her parent, always making up excuses and rarely calling anymore, and as time wore on, she was Lynk more than she wasn’t. The more she played as Lynk, the more she pushed the envelope. It wasn’t enough to have a lot of piercings, they had to be grotesque. They had to be everywhere. They had to not only get people to look, but to repulse. The clothes went from ripped shirts and dirty jeans to more utility bindings than anything else. Anything to draw attention and make others want to look away.
