Redemption

[COLOR=Purple][FONT=Trebuchet MS]A cool wind hit Namia's face as she slowly opened her eyes. A large bedroom appeared through the darkness around her. Slowly, she moved her hands to push herself up and found herself bound by shackles and chains. She glanced down at her feet - they too were bounds by chains. " What the hell?" A door slammed shut across the room. " It's seems that our little cat has finally awoken..." The voice was dark and menacing. Namia looked up and growled. A burly man of about 25 stood there with an evil grin upon his face. " What do you want?" Namia spat as she stood up, bowed down by the weight of the chains, but glared at him straight in the eyes. " Want? Something only you can give me Namia..." Namia's eyes went wide with shock as he approached her. A growl eminated from her throat, warning him to not come and closer. " I may look helpless, but I can assure that I'm not," Namia spat angrily. " I accept that you are a warrior, Namia, but you have no powers, and therefore, you cannot contend with the likes of the Black Knight," the man said. In one of his hands was a thickly-wooded spear, ones that were used by the enemy's soldiers. He smiled as he whipped it around and hit Namia fair in the ribs. Namia's body jarred violently as the blow shattered one of her ribs. " Not so helpless now, are we Namia?" the Black Knight taunted. Namia coughed out blood but glared back at him. " Bring it on Black Knight.....you cannot break me....." OOC: Hope this is ok[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Sora sighed with relief when Sayne went to the Dress Room willingly. " I don't know what I'm going to do with that boy." Closing the door behind her, Sora looked around her room, searching for any grooming devices that will help her later tonight. After looking in the bathroom and under her bed, Sora managed to collect all the things necessary for the look she desired for tonight's Ball. It was good that the Pilots had a chance to be normal teenagers for at least two hours. They weren't tools of war (although there would be some debate on Sayne) and piloting the MechAnimas in war took a lot of energy. Their bodies were exhausted, trying to keep up with their mechanical partners. But tonight wasn't the night to be thinking about all that stuff. It was time to relax and be normal. Sora walked through the many corridors of the base to the Dress Room. A female officer stood in there patiently, waiting for anyone that wanted a dress or suit to come in. She looked around and saw Sora. " Ah! Pilot Avian! Finally someone comes in here." " Hey. I'm here for a dress. Got any to suit moi?" The officer smiled. " I have just the thing..." [B]The Ball...[/B] Sora walked into the holding bay. She gasped at how beautifully it was decorated. A job well done in a couple of hours and lots of man-and-woman power. Her sunset orange dress glimmered in the flashing white light. She looked over the heads of the crowd, trying to find someone she knew. Her hair held a dozen or so small butterfly clips and had glitter streaked throughout it. Across her cheeks was a soft shimmering gold and her lips were dark red. " Where are you Sayne?"[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Lol, it's really interesting finding out everyone's first name. My first and most commonly used nickname would be Chookie because my first name is Brooke (like as in the sound that a chicken makes). That ones been with me since year 5 (10 yrs old) and has stuck with me all the way through high-school (until 17) and we'll see if I still get called it at Uni. The second is Brookie. I got called that by one of my friend's dad who was a teacher at my high-school and he still calls me that! The third is Ren. My friends call me that because my middle name is Renee. The last is Princess. My adorable boyfriend calls me that because he spoils me like one. Lol....I'm so sad......[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Corey][size=1']But if I had to, I'd definitly go with a job I like rather than one I don't that pays well.[/size][/quote] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Red]I agree with you there Corey. I'd rather do something I like than do something that I didn't that pays a lot. Money and material things just don't appeal to me much. I don't know what it is, but it's me. It just doesn't movitate me, which is sort of a bad thing in this world.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Since I live in Australia, the farthest I've been was to the USA. More specifically Florida, California, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. My dad took us there on a business/holiday trip. Lol. My dad's a stonefruit grower so we looked at peaches all the way around America. Quite funny. But we went to DisneyWorld and stuff like that. Lol.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple][FONT=Century Gothic]OOC: Okie dokie demonchild! *rubs hands together evilly* " Whereever I like? That's sounds good. I wouldn't mind scaring a few people, and maybe, a late night snack," Lana suggested. " Whatever you wish Lana," Keitha replied as they walked down one of the dark streets of Sydney. " Oh this is so boring Keitha!" Lana whined as they sat on top of the Sydney Tower. The wind whipped around them both as they sat there. Lana had scared the wits out of some people but that was all Keitha would allow her to do. " Why are you whining to me?" Keitha growled at her younger companion. Sometimes Lana was a real pain in the ass. " Because you won't let me do anything fun!" " It's because you'd go too far and reveal that we still exist." " Ha! Reveal that we still exist! Are you kidding? I'm more steathful than that. Don't give me much credit do you?" " Do you deserve it?" " Oh here we go....about this again....." " You have no responsibilty Lana..." " Oh shut up Keitha! You don't know anything....so can it!" Lana stood up and paced around. " Come with me to find someone to play with, please Keitha?" " Not after that comment!" " Oh come on Keitha! I know you want to do something to get your mind off of things." " No Lana." " Sheesh. What a party pooper!" Lana walked to the edge and jumped down from the great height, landing on the road below easily. Slowly, she made her way around the city, trying to find a perfect victim. It wasn't easy, most of them weren't her style. " Damn you Keitha! Now I'm going to have to be bored by myself!" Lana cursed under her breath.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Well both of my grandfathers' families come from Germany. One of my grandmothers is pure English (she came over to Australia in WWII) and my other grandmother comes from Scotland, so I have a real mix. And I was born, and live, in Australia. So yeah. A bitser! My dark hair comes from my German decent and my blue eyes English (from grandparents). Lol.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Red]OOC: I'm going to lighten this RPG up for a couple of posts. I hope you people don't mind. Everything's so serious lately and I was just wanting to be normal teenagers for a bit, our characters I mean. So I hope you don't mind if I skip ahead a few days. [B]Four days have passed....[/B] Lately, Sora had been seen talking to a lot of the officers around the base. Sayne wondered what the hell she was doing. All of the MechAnima pilots had been given training schedules, each atuned to their differents needs of their MechAnimas. But somehow, she had managed to do all of their training (which was approximately 6 hours a day), do their school work (which they now had to do in amongst their training) and do this mystery job of hers. " Does anyone know what she's doing?" Sakura asked them at breakfast where all but Sora and Liz were sitting at the table. " No idea. She's doing all her training and school work," Keiji said, crossing his arms in thought, " She even beat me in that last maths quiz Mr Fei gave to us." " Whatever she's doing, its a complete snow job!" Vick added, " I've talked to some of the officers I've seen her talking with and they won't tell me a thing!" Sayne just sat there as everyone but Liz and him talked about what Sora was planning. Liz was still in the hospital wing of the base. She was in a critical but stable condition. Ajack sat back in his chair and sighed. " Whatever it is, I hope its nothing bad." At that moment, Sora came into the kitchen with a huge grin on her face. " Everyone!" she shouted, getting their attention. " In light of no activity coming from the Cylargres in the past few days, General Rei and myself have organised a ball for the younger members of the base, including ourselves. Some of the civilian teenagers are also invited." " A ball?" Darrius asked, " What the hell are we going to do at a ball?" Sora smiled. " Dance, listen to music, drink, make friends, make lurve..." She laughed at her joke. Her mood was definitely lighter than most of the others. " What are we supposed to wear?" Dale asked with an eyebrow raised. " I already thought of that Dale. The Ball is tonight. In the base is a clothing room full of gowns and suits. You may choose one for tonight. We enter on our own, so no one gets left out. Dinner will be served there and then the party starts afterwards," Sora explained. " So is this what you've been doing the last few days?" Lyu asked. " Yup. Thought we might need a little party to lighten things up a little," Sora stated matter-of-factly. " Right...." Vick murmured. All of them got up and left to do whatever they wanted, but Sayne and Sora stayed behind. Sora walked over to him. " So, what do you think?" she asked. " About what?" " The Ball stupid!" " Oh....that.....not my scene....." Sora scowled. " Sayne De'Larne, if you don't go, I'm going to smack you one!" OOC: Ok guys, get ready for the ball. Guys in suits and chicks in dresses. Go for it![/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Purple]OOC: Sorry OberOn! I'm just having one of those weeks. A couple of weeks I should say. Namia sat at base camp wondering what the hell she should do. The others had left her behind, which made her mad. At least Tanken should have told her or something. " What am I going to do?" she said to herself as she was sprawled out on the grass. " Well hello there little cat...." Namia twisted around. A dark figure, surrounded by many soldiers, advanced upon her. She leapt up with her spear in hand. The dark figure laughed deviously. " Well this cat had claws....hmm.....no matter....you are easily defeatable...." Three cords of pure darkness sprang from the figure's hands and wrapped themselves tightly around Namia, despite her best efforts to evade them. The figure walked up to Namia who struggled against her bounds. " The more you struggle, the tighter they get..." he hissed. Soon, they were so tight that Namia could barely breathe. " Now, what mark should we leave for your fellow Resistance members?" The soldiers around him sniggered in glee. Her claw spear lay on the ground. The figure picked it up and pressed it into her neck, making blood flow all over the blade. Namia's vision started to go. Lack of oxygen and the loss of blood was starting to affect her. She shook her head, trying to shake the feeling of darkness away but eventually, it washed over her like a wave on a beach. OOC: Sorry its short. OberOn, you can choose who Namia's been kidnapped by and where she's been taken. Well that's it for me.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Yes you can. I just have to add to the list as we progress through the RPG. If that does eventuate.

Thanks Kitty.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: Ooooo some intrigue...and evil doing...I'm up for it! Ziarre looked uncertainly from this new guy to Kayin. His offer was tempting...very tempting. And he has gone through what I went through? Then he would understand my pain...and anger.... Her eyes darken into nothingness. Kayin watched on helplessly. " Ziarre! Don't do it!" " Why shouldn't I Kayin? What do you know of my pain?"Ziarre growled at him, her eyes now pitch black. " I...I...." " That's right! You know nothing! My past haunts me Kayin. You do not know of the terrors that haunt me in my dreams and in my reality.....you have no idea...." Ziarre turned to Lazarus. " I will help you. In return, you give me complete control over my powers." Lazarus grinned excellent. Ziarre notched an arrow in her bow and aimed it at Kayin. " We are going back to get the others. Unless you want the Hero of Death to show her talents." Kayin just stood there shocked. " Ziarre...." " WALK KAYIN!" Slowly, one foot after another, Kayin started walking towards the Sanctuary. Ziarre turned to Lazarus, but kept her aim on Kayin. " Don't follow us. If you do, I'll assume our deal is worthless and kill you without a second thought." " Fine..." Ziarre and Kayin walked towards the Sanctuary, taking the long way around just in case Lazarus followed them. Soon, they were in the Sanctuary. Ziarre nudged Kayin with the tip of her arrow. " Get the others. Gather them in the dining room. NOW! If you don't return to the dining room with them, I will destroy this whole place. Got it?" OOC: I love being evil...for a little bit anyway....[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: My last post was deleted for some odd reason. *bashes computer* And it was so good! :bawl: Oh well....lets try again. The enemy started to retreat. Sora was hurting, both emotionally and physically. A few burns and cuts was all she received in the battle, but what had happened to Sayne hurt her the most. " I couldn't even save him Blaze..." [COLOR=DarkRed]Don't beat yourself up about it. It was a hard battle. And you had to save yourself before you could save him[/COLOR] Blaze said reassuringly. Sora looked down at the ground and suddenly saw Tiegre and Liz. Tiegre was in very bad shape. " Blaze..." [COLOR=DarkRed]Already with you.[/COLOR] They landed swiftly and Sora jumped out of the cockpit. Making her way over to Liz, she hastily checked her pulse. She sighed, relieved that Liz did have a pulse, although it was weak. " Come on Liz...don't fail me now girl...." Sora picked up Liz and carried her into Blaze. " The base, and pronto Blaze. Pick up Tiegre. We need to take her to the base too." [COLOR=DarkRed]Right. Hang on.[/COLOR] Blaze grasped his golden talons around Tiegre and slowly took off, heading towards the base. [B]20 minutes later....[/B] Sora had taken Liz to the ER for some emergency treatment. The nurses had told her to wait outside but Sora was too anxious about Liz. " Please don't let her go....I need her...." Sora whispered to herself. " Please let Sayne be ok." It looked like it was going to take some time for Liz to recover. " Please inform me as soon as she walks up!" Sora said firmly to one of the nurses that exited the room Liz was in. " Of course." Sora nodded her thanks and walked from the room, eager to find Sayne. OOC: Sorry its short. My deleted post was much much better. Grrrrr.... [/FONT][/COLOR]

[SIZE=3]The RPG will start on Saturday for the people living in America, Sunday for people in Australia. I've changed the RPG slightly so everyone has a crystal quest. If you want to sign-up, the next 24 hours is your last chance.[/SIZE]

[QUOTE=kairiKIce2]Sounds awesome to me...I played Tactics myself so its good. I'm just curious bout me having the race as ''The World'' since I'm being a white mage; as well as Quenbryl being my totume...that would be greatly appreciated:); if im not remembering something from the game..please remind me...cause i dont recall anything bout ''The World'' as a race; the essence of Ivalice I remember from the game with my Totume. I can't wait for this to start...I have my character from the Game Boy stuck in my head that I had...please let us able to become Summoners as well:) take care...later[/QUOTE] Well, I sort of made the 'Essence of Ivalice' (the last battle in tactics) a crystal and called it 'The World' crystal. I just made that bit up because I thought it should have a crystal because it an essential part to Ivalice. I said that some of the information in this RPG is the same as the game. I just made up the name. If you know who you fight in the last battle, I tried to make a name out of it because I've forgotten what they were called. And yes, I am trying to be vague. But if you have played the game, you'll know what I mean. And yes, I'll let you be summoners. They're one of my favourite jobs.

A small town high in the mountains. It is winter this time of year and snow has been falling softly over the past few days, covering the town in a blanket of white.

Kirika from NOIR[/B] I have no idea why but me and her would get on well together....even though I'd be so envious of the things she can do :devil:. Without the killing of course. [B]2. Sailor Jupiter from the Sailor Scouts[/B] Because she'd do all the cleaning and I'd just sit back and watch anime all day. :p [B]3. Kiba from Wolf's Rain[/B] Other than the fact that he is hot, he'd be an interesting guy to mix with and share ideas. [B]4. Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion[/B] Lets just say it'd definitely be a different atmosphere than in most dormitories in the world. [U][B]The Worst[/B][/U] [B]1. Sailor Moon from the Sailor Scouts[/B] That girl would make me want to murder with all the whining about boys and her complete and utter blondeness would disturb me! [B]2. In general - other ditzy anime characters[/B] Other than them being funny to watch on TV, they'd be hell to live with! For me at least![/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: AIYA! Never ever will I leave this thing for two days! And so many things going on! AIYA!!! And I agree with you Heero, we should have called this something else! Sora sat looking at Keiji. He was very very brave in admitting that he loved her. She smiled, trying to comfort him in his embarassment. " Keiji....I love you too....but unfortunately not in the way you love me. I'm sorry to have to say this to you but....I can't deny my own feelings. That would be wrong. Keiji, I love you like a brother, nothing more and nothing less. I'm so sorry to have to say that to you. If I were saying that to someone, and they answered just like I did, it would break my heart. But...I'm hoping you will forgive in saying that....Keiji, you are like my brother. I hope, no matter what I say, you will see that." She hugged him tightly and kissed him on the forehead. Tears had swelled in her eyes. It did break her heart to tell Keiji this. He had been so devoted, so loyal....but her heart was with Sayne. As she had said, it would have been wrong to deny it. A booming message suddenly came over the intercom. " ALL MECH PILOTS REPORT TO MECHANIMA HOLDING BAY.....I REPEAT!!....ALL MECH PILOTS REPORT TO MECHANIMA HOLDING BAY!!" " Come on Keiji. Lets go kick some Cylargrian butt!" Keiji smiled weakly and followed Sora to the holding bay in a hurry. [B]The Holding Bay...[/B] Sora and Keiji joined up with the group as they got their instructions from her father. " Bring them to their knees!, MechCarriers will fly to non-aerial mechs to St Eves, Sayne, you, Sora, and Keiji will fly out ahead of the others." " Right," Sora said. Sayne ran his thumb over her cheek in a loving way before the three of them got into their MechAnimas. Taking off in unison, the three flying MechAnima shot out of the holding bay and took off into the Cylargrian-crowded sky. OOC: Ok Heero, do your stuff![/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple][FONT=Century Gothic]OOC: Since demonchild is sick, and I'm her accomplise, I'll do the next post if you don't mind ULX. Demonchild and I were supposed to meet up anyhow. IC: Lana waited anxiously upon the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, throughing her orb up and down in one hand. Keitha was late... Lana, being very impatient, stood up and stretched. " Hurry up woman! I can only wait a small time..." " I am here..." a female voice said from Lana's left side. Lana didn't even jump. She just smiled. " Finally. Where the hell have you been?" " Seeing to our Lord and Lady's death that's what. Where did you disappear to Lana?" " I went out for some fast food." " Don't get smart with me..." Keitha growled. " Fine." Lana crushed her orb with her hand and it went out. " What are we going to do now Keitha?" " Find Kuroichi, wherever he is, before dawn." " Like to find him in a city of 5 million people." " Lana....I am not in the mood for your games." [B]In down-town Sydney...[/B] Lana followed Keitha into down-town Sydney. It was grubby in places, like it hadn't been cleaned for years. Keitha had obviously known where Zuroichi was going to be otherwise she would have killed Lana for asking her stupid questions like a kid. Lana just liked rubbing Keitha the wrong way. Soon, they came to the hotel that Keitha's informant said Zuroichi was in. He wasn't pleased about their appearance in Sydney, or so the informant had told her. Up the stairs and to Kuroichi's room, Keitha knocked on the door, aware of the clerk that was staring at them from the base of the stairs. Lana just looked on, uninterested. " Lana, I warn you...be on your best behaviour...otherwise I will kill you myself," Keita hissed angrily. " Yes Keitha, I will." The door opened, Keitha and Lana entered into the darkness. " So, the Shadow Assassin and her companion has decided to join us..." a voice came from the darkness. OCC: Sorry it's really bad but its all I could think of.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: AIYA! You people post too much!!! Isabelle was surpised at how much her room suited her powers. Light blue, silver and white silk fabrics, white-washed furniture and a pine four-post bed. She felt as if this was going to be her home since her home was the streets of the city for many years past. Zack and the others were content with talking amonst themselves, leaving Isabelle out for most of the time. She didn't care. Like the wind, she was alone in the world, having nothing that could compare to it. Sitting at the edge of her bed, Isabelle felt the ground quake. Sam's doing, she assumed. " So, we have to found our angels? I hope that she is nothing like my demon." Isabelle shivered, recalling her last encounter with her demon on the roof of the cathedral. [COLOR=DimGray]Someone is at your door Mistress...[/COLOR] the wind whispered to Isabelle. A knock echoed from the wooden door. " Come in Zack." Zack entered. " How did you know it was me?" " The wind told me," Isabelle said softly. " Ah....right." " What brings you here Zack?" " I see that you are lonely most of the time. I just thought I might accompany you for the moment." " You are very kind. But I am used to being alone. I have been alone since I was born." " We have all been." Zack sat on a white-washed timber chair, facing Isabelle who dared not look into his eyes. " So...." He found it very difficult to talk to her because she would not look at him. " Yes Zack?" " What is your demon like?" he asked, not knowing if that was the right question or not. Isabelle shuddered. " My demon.....my demon is like any other. Devilish, deceiving, murderous. However, she loves taunting me and she has taken a liking to kissing me whenever we meet." Zack sat back shocked. He'd never thought Isabelle would say something like this.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=Purple][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: Me? Be mean? Why I'd never be! *rubs hands together evilly and halo slips to her ankles* Namia's ears twitched slightly as Tanken leant against the fence beside her. " I don't think you realise the complications of your affection towards me," Namia stated, not trying to sound harsh but she said it firmly anyway. He was going to have to understand how she worked before he could trully commit to her. Or her to him for that matter. " What do you mean exactly Namia?" Tanken asked. " For one, we are different races..." Namia voiced. " I'd don't care that you have a tail or cat ears," Tanken replied firmly. Namia nodded knowingly. " But the fact is that our races have far different cultures. The Human race for instance doesn't think that females can be warriors or fighters. But the mother's instinct is the strongest, and can be the most lethal, thing in the world. You male humans think that females are ready to be trodden over and that we are soft and are for the indoors." " My race however is centred entirely on females. We are the ones that build our homes, rule over others and protect our family with our lives. The males of our species are only concerned about spreading their genes around. The females are the stronger gender in our race. We are fiercely independent, battle-like and don't like being treated like inferiors." " This is why relations between Humans and Murhyrr are so difficult to maintain. Your male leaders refuse to acknowledge that our leaders are females and refuse to talk to them about treaties and the such. I am one of the few that stand your pitful doubt of a female's ability in war and blood." " If you truly have feelings for me, you will not try and treat me as if I am an inferior and let me be what I truly am, a Murhyrr. Warrior-like and fiercely independent. If you are ready to accept such terms as those, then maybe you might have a chance." Namia leant off the fence and left Tanken to his own thoughts. Everything she had said to him was true. She didn't want to be treated like most females in other races. She was strong and wanted to be respected for that. Making her way back to her tent, Namia collapsed into bed and fell asleep, curling up like most cats do when they sleep. She would have rathered slept in the trees but since they had put this tent up for her, Terra and Vaxla, she couldn't refuse. OOC: Well how about that? What does Tanken do now? *crowd gaspes in anticipation*[/FONT][/COLOR]
