Drizzt Do'urden

I am the alcolyte. For over a hundred years I have been searching for a way to resurect the Band of Seven. Seven mercenaries whose powers made them the ultimate team. Every side they fought for one. Sometimes they would switch sides in the midst of war just to extend the killing. They couldn't be stopped, none could stand up to them, thus they became fearless......and reckless. Finally I have found a way to resurrect you. You the most evil, vile, deplorable beings to ever live. Your demonic powers knew no end a century ago, and thanks to me you will live again. I have discovered seven sacred jewels, each of which has been given to you. Though your bodies are resurected, you still are not at full strength, not yet ready to resume your path of utter destruction, I have a task for you that much first be completed in order to gain your full powers, and be released from the binding sacred jewel shards that give me the power to end your lives at a thought. Once you are all awake I will give you the full extent of your mission and how you came to be in the position you were in, or how you died. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay now for the outline. My character has awoken the "Band of Seven", the name will be adjusted in case there are only 3 or 4. The mission is to stop a rival of mine, I'll go into more detail later. This is going to be set in japan, with a setting similar to Inuyasha. For those of you who don't know the Band of Seven were just as I described them, this is a different band though so there will be no contact with Inuyasha or any of its characters. I forgot to add this on the title, and in my original post. [B]Rating: Mature: Language, Violence, light sexual content[/B] I'd like to elaborate on this a bit more. I'm up for any suggestions any participants have so we can change this rating to more mature, or if the majority would like it to be downgraded to more of a PG type where violence is the only thing I'm all for that as well. I'll post my sign-up after I see how this is received. Sign-ups: Name: Age: Before you were killed Appearance: Picture would be prefered, but a description will work. Personality: Be descriptive, also just because you are a ruthless killer does not mean you have to have that personality. You could be a good person at heart. Weapon: Power: How did you decide to join the group?: (Make this a brief history)

[quote name='Lunox'][font=trebuchet ms] Does anyone else have recs? (remember I'm a relatively poor college student)[/font][/QUOTE] You should be drinking Natural Light if you are a REAL poor college student :shifty: My reccomendation is if you're just wanting to get drunk, learn to take double shots. BUT if its something flavorful you want to sip on you oughta try whiskey sours, mojito's, mai tai's, they're all good drinks to sip on but have pretty good alcohol content. There's also jungle juice if you get some everclear, soak some fruit in it. My personal favorite drink to get that quick buzz is a long island ice tea (always ask for the top shelf liquours though.) its pretty storng tasting, but will do the job.

John could barley see through the tears....Tetra had been his best friend since as long as he could remember. In fact much longer, for some reason the memory of the mural in Eon's temple dipicting this same battle came to mind. It was the battle that waged long ago; Tetra, Victoria, and John battling Eon. It was supposed to be all three of them. John looked to Victoria who was bawling just like he was. This was apparently her first [I]real[/I] experience with death, as it was his. "Capia....are you ready?" Capia? Why did he call her that? Sure they were the reincarnations but he didn't have to....suddenly something came to John. He raised his staff high over his head and slammed it to the ground. The earth itself shook with raw power, it lasted but a second, and as quick as it came it went leaving behind John...well Ryo. John's clothes were different, they resembled the armor he wore in the painting. Victoria followed suit, in the same trance like state John was in, she swung her chain through the air; it cut through the wind, causing small shockwaves that sounded like screams. She slammed her chain into the ground, sending up waves of sparks and dust. As the dust settle, Victoria...rather Capia stood. Victoria was now dressed as Capia was during that long ago battle. John looked to Tetra....to Capia....Catherine....and then to Luthian. "Catherine was a person, probably a good person before you warped her Eon! I promise you, you will pay for your Ill words of the dead.!" John took a step forward, suddenly the room they were in shook violently. The walls themselves crumbled, the ceiling flew off like they were in the middle of a tornado. The floors warped and stretched, in small areas large spikes jutted three to four feet out of the ground. Suddenly and explosion rocked the room, pits of fire ripped through the ground leaving huge holes, leading down tunnels that went on forever, jets of flame shot out periodically. The walls were literally covered in spikes from floor to ceiling...well what was now the ceiling. The night sky shone, a starless night with nothing but an ominous full moon floating high. John looked around, their foes spread out. Beckoning John and Victoria to split up, come at them one on one. They stood, staring each other down, John re attached his halbred. He would have to resort to a killing blow he was sure, neither foe would just give up, this was to the death. "You pitiful fools, you could not defeat me alone. How do you expect to defeat me and my husband? Its impossible, but if we must. Come Capia, come Ryo lets make you dead for good." John had enough, "That's Enough!" He screamed so loud, the jets of flames themselves that filled the room with small explosions seemed to quiet. "You may have killed Ryo and Capia before, but we are not them. I am John, and this is Victoria. You will remember those names, because we will not suffer the same fate. This time it will be you two who die." John lowered his head and tore off towards Luthian, he was sure that Luthian lacked magical skills like he did. But just like John did, Luthian was probably an excellent warrior.

Name: Zach Age: 24 Location: Zanesville, Ohio How long have I been here: Not counting a brief abscence 4 years and some change. Well in all my time on Otakuboards the thing I've utilized the most would be the Theater. I have a select few stories that I've participated in (so far) that I'd like to stick and would love future members to check out. "Wings of an Angel", "Witches", "Cross-Struck", of course there are other RP's I've participated in, but these are the ones that went the distance and I enjoyed every aspect of them. Secondally I've like to stick in the bonds I've made with several OB members, you know who you are. Yes most people think you can't develop true friendships with people you don't have any direct contact with, but I disagree. Lastly I'd like to put in my story (that's still ongoing so I hope you don't mind if I open it from time to time to put more chapters in). I wrote "Jackson McGee" as a story for my nephew, I've been putting bits of it on the anthology section (with a few changes). It's pretty poorly written by the standards of other writers with submissions, but it means a lot to me. Of course I have the hard copy to give him when he's older, but an online copy is nice to have as well.

Okaru couldn't help but smile, she'd held him in suspense just enough. It was going to happen, Hoto was going to pass. He looked at her, deep into the eyes "Thank you Hotaru. I'll distract sensei, you take care of the rest." Okaru jumped to his feet, "I have something else I need to do before the test." he smiled a bit as he looked at her. He threw a fist straight at her, not holding anything back. She easily parried, grabbed his fist twisted and tossed him. Okaru landed on his feet, turning himself back towards her but she was already on him. She lunged at him, he allowed her to crash into him pulling her down. Using her momentum he rolled, planted his feet in her stomach and kicked up sending her sailing. She landed on her feet, just as he knew she would. She was every bit as good as taijitsu as she was at genjitsu, but how would she handle being faced with Ninjitsu? Okaru made the same handsign he made when chozo attacked him earlier, the swirling wind filled his hand. Forming into an almost solid ball, Okaru rushed her trying his best to hide the attack in his palm. When he neared he pulled up, her eyes grew huge as he loosed the attack. She didn't even try to move, and exploded in a puff of smoke. "Damn it." Okaru didn't move as he felt the kunai on his throat, "You aren't the only one who can do this trick." Okaru still didn't tense up. "You're right, but what kind've fool falls for it a second time?" Okaru felt her loose her hold ever so much, she was distracted for a second. He dropped straight down, grabbing her knife hand and heaving her. She landed on her feet facing him. They both stood facing each other, equals. No that was the wrong way to look at it, in a real battle Okaru would have had his throat slit, she was the victor. He just wouldn't let her know it.

Well this isn't the time or place for a debate on whether or not Man VS. Wild is a good survival show or not, but i knew from the start he was a phoney. I loved the fact he had to start putting the disclaimer stating that everything he was doing was supervised in the prescence of experts. Sorry, just wanted to contribute.

The ground shook with, a distinct crackling noise filled the air. It quickly grew to a noise you could almost feel throughout your body. "Tetra get down!" She didn't hear him, the ice ball that was Catherine exploded, launching razor sharp ice shards in all directions. Luckily John acted when he felt the electricity emiting from the ice. He quickly formed an ice shield around Tetra. Ice knives pounded away, leaving the shield worthless. "You idiot, the boss didn't give me weak ass powers like she did that wuss Shanice. I'm the real deal." Her hands began to glow, any second bolts of electricity would cook Tetra. Fortunately John had started moving as soon as the ice exploded. As the glowing palms made a hissing noise, the electricity ready to pounce, John tapped Catherine on the shoulder from behind with his staff. "Huh?" Was the only thing she got out as she turned her head, that was met with Johns staff full force. She tumbled through the air and crashed on the ground at Eon's feet. "Pick up your friend Eon" John unstrapped the blade from his back and quickly attached it to his staff, it was time to end this. Eon just stared at John, no evil smile, no look of fear, nothing. "Oh my god boss you got hit!" Catherine was the one to break the silence, Eon had taken one of the ice shards in the side. Blood was pouring out from the wound, she was apparently trying to heal it. "I don't think so!" Victoria cried out as she rushed towards Eon. As she neard her, a wall of flame lept up in between the rushing hero and the wounded villian. "Not very heroic. Attacking a helpless foe like that young one." It was Luthian's voice, he had apparently recovered much of his lost power. "This won't be settled here, you..."heros"," he scoffed when he used the word, "are more than welcome to step through this portal and finish this fight where it started." John put the flames out with his ice, trying to cut a path for Victoria to get to Eon while she was down. Instead, all that remained was a red glowing portal. In side was where they would face their destiny, the only question was....Were they ready?

Frank reached the bottom floor of the apartment without further incident. He slowly pushed in the side door, careful not to knock the decaying piece of wood fall apart and reveal his position. Upon entering, Frank had to put his handkiercheif to his face. The stink of death was everywhere, he could see a set of hands peering out from the rubble. Apparently they'd been there awhile, the meat had started to rot and some bone was visible. The building was a wreck, but it would serve his purpose. Frank edged his way closer to the stairwell when a noise startled him. It wasn't loud, but it was apparent. It was the sound of water moving through pipe, most likely on its way up to the top floor. [I]Nichlas, you dog. You knew I would've seen that tower to eh? Well you weren't mistaken there. It's too bad you allowed yourself to make this one.[/I] Frank allowed a smile to escape his lips, it appeared this would be over a lot sooner than he thought. Frank drew his pistol, it was time.

[quote name='James'][font=franklin gothic medium]A great man? Hm. That quote is probably one of the more idiotic things I've read, to be honest. lol[/font][/QUOTE] It was meant to be, its from David Alan Grier's new show on Comedy Central. As far as how I feel on the subject, I do agree that Obama has broken the race barrier down. I run a small UPS hub, and I can say this debate has come up. Especially since this whole assassination attempt has come about. Its amazing to see how when the race first came out, the few McCain supporters swore up and down that there would be no way they would vote for Obama if he won the primaries. Now those same people now are swearing by Obama, only one or two have come out and said they didn't like the idea of a black man in office, which I guess if Obama's message changed their minds then I'm happy for them, but it's sort've sad it was that way to begin with. I myself will be voting Democrate for the first time in my life, which isn't saying much since this is only the second time I'll be voting in the National election, but I've always been an avid Republican, not that I have anything against McCain personally, but I'd like to see how Obama works with what he's given. As far as the assassination attempts go, I do think that Obama is going to be high risk, VERY high risk. [quote name='desertphoenix'] Yeah, there are going to be way more attempts, but honestly what kind of group of people or person is going to be able to pull it off successfully in this day and age? [/quote] That's a misconception, sure the secret service has acquired new technology as time has gone on. Adversley, however, those same people who want to commit those attrocities have gained better and better technology as well. Thanks to things like Google Earth (which I believe they shut down), and mapquest bad guys have access to programs that give satellite images. Just an address or GPS coordinates and with these sites and a portable GPS unit you can find just about anyone anywhere. Also weapons have gotten more sophisticated, Sniper rifles with the capabilities of hitting targets over half a mile away (I believe the longest shot I've heard of is 1200 yards) I think its a def. possibility it could happen, though I doubt it will.

Name: Dr. Alen Wentworth Age: 29 (2080) Status: Psychiatrist Description: I'm going to have to post this later today when I have access to my home PC. Dr. Wentworth became one of the United States most prestigious Psychiatrist, along with the youngest, and most arrogant. Alen has always seen himself as a sociopath at heart, always seeing himself as someone above the human race. This is what drove him to Psychiatry, what drove him to be the best. As soon as he finished interning at New Yorks most reknowned psychological institues. Alen took up an offer given to him by an un-named celebrity, soon after exposing said celebrity on a well known cable televisoin program. Dr. Wentworth used the celebrity to gain an offer for his own televison program; of course he made sure he planted a paparazzi or two nearby recording the conversation. That way when big shot Dr. Wentworth made it clear he was in his work to help, not for fame it sparked his career even higher. He was now the man everyone wanted to work with. He rode this out for another two years until Alen was approached by a top military official who informed him about the sustained life program. Seeing it as a chance to be "reborn" during an era of increased need for someone of his intellect. Alen took the man up on his offer, he marked the first person to be frozen for the program (of course it was a stipulation Alen had written up in his agreement/liability waiver before he would agree.)

With the recent thwarting of the recent white extremist plan to eventually attempt to assassinate president Obama, it made me think. With how many white extremist groups out there, including the skin heads (neo-nazi's), the KKK, and all other less prevalent groups. Do you think this is the first [I]real[/I] assassination attempt? (Yes I know it was over for them before it got started) Do you think this is a reason America's not ready for a black president...though a great man said "He's only Half-Black America. Just vote for the white-half." I'm going to be back on in an hour or so to post my opinions.

I haven't followed the manga at all so I feel out of place commenting, but one thing I'd point out is that while your comparison to the military is a good one, when you think about the Naruto world its the Hokage's job to fight when it comes to the villiage being attacked. I think that if you shrink down the military to the equivilant to the # of shinobi's there are fighting for the hidden leaf villiage. The president would be on the front lines right beside his generals.

[quote name='ChibiHorsewoman'][color=#9933ff]I'm with you there, I'd totally do me too. And I wouldn't even have to bribe myself with dinner and a movie. [/color][/QUOTE] Wow, when you put it that way Chibi....will you marry me?

I'm all for resurecting it. This RP had potential, just lack of posters.

I sort've regret listing this game in my thread about new shooters. I rented it yesterday, and after logging about 3 hours its apparent it's so much more. I hadn't went into detail about the game, and never realizd it was made using the same engine that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion used. While you may look at that with a raised eyebrow wondering how they could use the same style of game with a futuristic shooter, but they do and it works. The skills are basically the same but given a modern tweak. You have things like Melee, Big Guns, Small Guns, Energy Weapons, and Unarmed for combat skills. Just like Oblivion you have you other skills as wel; bartering, speech, sneak. Then they throw Explosives and Science out there. It really is a great game, so I ask what do you think about it? Do you have any questions about it, I could go into more detail but I would have to explain everything about the game in one post.

In the coming days/weeks there are a number of shooters coming out. In particular I'm speaking of Gears of War 2, Call of Duty 5, and Fallout 3. I'm interested in finding out which one you think will come out on top at first? Which/if another will take over as the year goes on? Which one are you planning on picking up? To answer my own questions: I think Call of Duty will be the one that will take off the fastest due to the popularity of its multiplayer system. I think though that Fallout will do better as more multiplayer games come out, and I'm picking up Gears myself. Just because the servers will be less lagy at first. By and by, if anyone plays a lot of multiplayer via Xbox live add me. SSGT TYO

Frank thanked god for Nichlas at that moment. To any rookie, those five shots that rang out would have just been that, five shots. To Frank, he recognized at once, the precision in those shots. They were spaced out, more purposfull. The tank brigade had taken it as an oncoming threat and manned their stations, luckily facing away from him. He quickly scurried across the open road and into the ruined structure. He was now only about 30 yards from the apartment building when he saw his next obstacle. A young German soldier, who couldn't have been more than 16 was standing about 10 ft away, staring coldly at Frank. The soldier was unarmed, that fact was even further varified by the look of terror as Frank raised his garand. As he slowly applied pressure to the trigger, a thought crossed Frank's mind. He drops the rifle down, and draws his pistol. He's not as familiar with it, but from this distance it would do the trick, besides he wasn't planning on using it on the boy. He slung his rifle with one hand and made his way to the boy soldier. When he was within a few feet of him, he motioned for him to turn around. The boy hesitantly obliged, he obviously thought about screaming for help, but the damned kid was too scared. When he was fully around, Frank drew his knife from its boot sheath. He quickly reached around the boy, sliting his throat in one motion, being sure to dig into the windpipe so no scream would be heard. Blood spurted from the carotid as the boy went to his knees, and then his face. Frank wiped his blade on the boys back, sheathed it, and resumed his trek. That boy had known war for the past 3 years, it was a pity, but it was war; and there was a reason Frank was the best.

"Still looking to others for your dirty work eh brother?" Arion smirked. Zeus wouldn't give him the joy of responding out of anger. Arion had always been that way, he jumped on every mistake Zeus made. Zeus shoot him an angry gaze as he finished, which of course made Arion smile. Sam woke up on a small couch, scanning the room of the dirty apartment he couldn't help scoff in disgust. "Remind you of home?" It was the voice of Nyx, out of all his fellow gods/goddess' she was his favorite; her powers of darkness and the night complimented his nicely. "If hades looked like this, I would have gladly given up my throne long ago." Sam sat up and stretched, he had felt so free in Zeus' prescense in his old body. Now he was back as a human, powers or not it was disheartening. He had felt so free in his old body, if they survived this he would beg to get his old life back if he had to.

The trio hit the ground running as soon as they emmerged from the portal. They didn't seem to have any particular destination, they were just trying to get as far away from Eon and Luthian. "Stop!" John yelled at the others as he turned towards the noise, it was the familiar crackling of electricity. Victoria and Tetra both stood to either side of John, ready to fight as Catherine walked out from behind a tree. "So the time has come?" John was sure Eon and Luthian wouldn't be far behind, so this had to go quick. As the word quick went through his mind a voice came up from behind them. "You bet the time has come. I've been waiting on this for awhile now." It was Shanice! Somehow Eon had gotten the word out of where we were and when we were going to be there. John's staff appeared in his hand, "Listen guys, Victoria you take Shanice and make it quick. Tetra, you and me. Let's get this sucker punching punk." John was refering to the times she had blasted him just as he turned around, it wouldn't happen this time. The three heros and two of the villians squared off. John smiled, losing Luthian may have taken his ability to control fire. But it made him feel stronger, lighter, whole.

This is really the first time I've checked this out. I've heard of the documentary and heard it was well received, and that wikipedia link was the first experience I've had with it directly. My first question is what route will you be going, is it going to be a survival RP. Where we'll have to find food sources, irigation, and basically rebuild society? Or will you be going the route that it was supernatural means and we'll be fighting for our lives against some sort've....well supernatural thing? My second question is how many will you be taking? In my head I get a grand scale Gilligans Island, so you'd have the rich people with no common sense. The smart people, then you'd have a couple people who just shouldn't be there (gilligan/mary anne types). I'm interested in which route you'll go, but I'll be posting an audition for sure.

Frank reached the first building on the outskirts of Dresden. It seemed like the threat of an air strike sent the bulk of the Germans underground like they had intended. He doubted highly that anyone had seen the parachute deploy, but was being careful just in case. Frank hit the dirt as the sound of nearby gunfire rang out. Fighting the urge to draw his rifle, he sat perfectally still. Just as he thought, a group of Germans ran by in pursuit of someone. "Perfect" Frank risked saying out loud, it seemed as though a newly homeless child sized citizen of Dresden stole something from the soldiers. He'd have to remember to donate some of his paycheck to helping German orphans after this was all over. Frank's eyes scanned the area until he found what he was looking for. An old abandoned watch tower sat amidst the ruins. How it managed to withstand the bombing runs was a mystery. Surley it was one of the tallest structures in the city, only dwarfed by the remnants of a bombed out apartment structure. Frank started to take a step in the direction of the watch tower, when a thought struck him. If nichlas had beat him to the city, then he'd already found this watch tower, with its four open sides it was a snipers dream. "Too easy Nichlas." Frank changed direction and headed towards the apartment structure. It seemed to be an easy trek, that was until he rounded the corner of the building he was using for cover and saw the German tank company bunkered down. They were just exiting their bunker after the "airstrike". Frank ducked back behind his cover, maybe Nichlas hadn't made it to the city yet. That old watch tower may be open. No that was insanity to think that. Even if they had arrived at the same time, they were behind German lines. Nichlas could make it to that tower a lot quicker than he could. It would be hard to make Nichlas pay for the death of two of Frank's company just short time before this if Frank was dead from hoping, he would have to sneak past these men...but how?

OOC: This is a one on one duel between me and Katakudoushi, I've already okayed this through Darren. Frank bent his knees as he landed, even with this precaution the impact was still vicious. For some reason the damn RAF planes always flew in too low whenever they were making the drop. Everytime he jumped from one he longed for a fellow American pilot. The city of Dresden was surprisingly quiet. Frank was here one other time during the allied bombing raids a month previous. Control over Dresden had become a war in itself; both sides wanted it, neither could gain ground. Word had come in, the allies were stopped. The axis called [I]Him[/I] in, so the allies brought Frank. [I]He[/I] was the best, so was Frank. Frank checked his M14 garand to ensure neither the rifle or sight took any damage during the fall. He loved the way the rifle felt in his grip, the smoothness of the wood. The shine of the metal, the perfect weight. He'd already mapped his route with his superiors before getting underway. There was still a heavy axis presence, so he had to be slick. Sure he had allies, but if he was to beat [I]him[/I], he would have to be in a place he'd never suspect, and Frank had just the place.

I'm going to tag this whole post instead of picking and choosing which parts need tagged. [spoiler] As far as the babies go, you don't get a real backstory behind it. There are a few of them around, they're one of the main enemies. Its sort've over done, but if you aren't trying to find the "logic" in it, they're a nice addition to the hiddeous cast of enemies. The same goes with the sound being muffled in the vacuum. If it were completly muffled then it would be almost impossible to find the enemies attacking you from a distance. Also, there are a few times when you're in a vacuum for quite a few minutes, abscence of sound would get old fast. The steam would be a littl easier to explain, I just turfed it off to boilers for heat. Sure you'd think a space ship in the distant future would have some sort've nuclear reactor of sorts for an engine, so it would have some sort've perpetual energy. With that energy electric heat would be a given, but boilers got me through without a second thought. The comparrison to Doom 3 would be a good one, there are a lot of similarities in the two as far as BASE storyline. This goes a little bit of a different route. If you're considering renting it I would say go for it without a second thought. Its a solid game, with solid game play. [/spoiler]
