The Harlequin

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Name: Kattarin Quisanth Age: About 3000 Species: Bone Pheonix Origin:The ancient, now rather esoteric, courts of Kylath-Anawyr Goal: Oblivion. Bio: Quite a few years ago, obviously, the empire of the day was in the hands of one Kylath Arichen, a rather vain and insecure man. The empire at the time was undergoing religious reformation, and Kylath, terrified by the thought of death and judgement, acquired for himself a cadre of necromancers, in order to extend his life past the gods' wrath. Kylath's court, including the young Kattarin, who at the time served as a minor functionary for the High Priest, who damned the emperor under his breath as the ceremony commences. Whether the necromancers were truly beings of power, or whether the High Priest's curse had some ill effect, was unknown, but as the dark energies raced through the room, and wound around the king and his court, it twisted beyond even what could be expect of such morbid aetherity. The necromancers cried out to their veil-removed benefactors, and disappeared. The court watched in horror as their king's skin faded to a translucent white, then peeled away, leaving behind only a fully formed skeleton. It looked up, the sceptre of command still in its hand, and spoke words of death and horror. The High Priest ran forward, screaming curses and banishments. The king threw him aside, and his skeletal sockets fixed upon Kattarin. He proclaimed her the Harbringer of his new reign. She shuddered under his cold but palpable gaze, and managed to straighten, telling the thing through clenched teeth that she would not serve such a revenant. In a rage, the king turned to the other members of the court, who all shied away from him. The eternal life he had gained meant nothing, despised as he was. The High Priest, who had lain dazed against the wall, drew himself slowly up, his words coming out flecked with blood. Ancient rituals he chanted, arcanus vitrus incarnate, the life force of the gods themselves flooded into the dead king. As his very being unravelled, he cast around, and caught onto Kattarin's raiment with a bony finger. That foothold gained, the terrible thing embraced the frightened young girl, and, even as he was confronted by true obliteration, called upon those agents of death that had turned him, to bring down their wrath on those who damned him. The skeletal figure of the king emanated a strange, violent to black light, that intricately traced his bones, and followed out the finger he pointed at the high priest. As the bane spell fired, it unwound the force used to animate the cold would-be tyrant. Kattarin, caught as she was, absorbed the majority of the backlash. The High Priest, and all the court, crumpled, under the force of unleashed unlife. Kattarin remained spared, as she absorbed the negative energy let out by the King's demise. The empire crumbled. Countless others rose to take its place, and failed in turn. Kattarin survived onwards, a wraith like being that though destroyed, would unfailingly rise again. Thus, the bone pheonix. Relations/Allies: They're all long, long since gone. Weaponry, if any: The sword pictured, and an uncanny grasp of necromancy.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Outgrowth of the phrase "Funny little dancing man", which the bird-hurter once appended to me....[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Yeah, it was a damn good movie. One of my favourite bits was right at the end of the movie, [spoiler]where they show all those interview things, and that crazy guy is standing there yelling "where do I sign up?". I thought that was quite amusing. The other bit was where that dropkick police officer says "So what do we do, drag a potato along and see what shows up?", and the brothers walk in and tell him he'd have better luck with beer.[/spoiler][/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Go make yourself a backstory, a premeditated plot, and a sign up form, [i]in the correct forum[/i], and we'll all do fine. Until then...[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Short, basically dodgy....basically spam. No more of such posts please.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Please people, can we stop with the short, undescriptive, basically pointless posts? They are, actually, spam in this forum. So lets all put some effort in, and write some longer stuff.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Please, if you want to give advice or something like that, do it over a PM.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Alright people, that's enough of this one line, random conversation style ****.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Please people, keep these team offers/requests etc to PMs.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Can we please keep questions, comments, and other such random frivolities to PMs thanks?[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]I guess it depends on what it is you want to talk about it. If it's "my rpg is better than yours" style stuff, or fantasy rpgs are better than anime, or whatever else, then don't bother. Other than that, I have no idea. And I probably should....Ah well.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]I'm afraid people, that such short, undescriptive, basically pointless posts are considered spam in this forum. So can we all put some effort in and write something of at least 5 lines.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]I have some advice. Don't populate this forum with random spam. If you want to request help, put something in your signature. Don't post it here.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]I'm afraid people that such short, undescriptive, basically pointless posts are considered spam in this forum. So could we please all put some more effort in and write some longer stuff?[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]I'm afraid people, that such short, rather pointless, undescriptive posts are considered spam in this forum. So can we have some more effort and write some things of quasi-respectable length?[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Originalimp, don't push me with another one of these rpgs. Make yourself a very long, detailed storyline, and a signup form, right now.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Can we have no more random conversations people? Do me a favour and keep random correspondance, and questions, and the like, to PMs.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Name: Kattarin Quisanth Age: 27 Gender: (Female Class: Master Magess Weapon Type: Staff Weapon Name: Sinistraus Aetherus (Ill omened Spirit) Magic: [B]Eldritch Darkness[/B]: Manipulation of shadow, either as illusion or as a weapon that assults the aethereal rather than the physical. [B]Maelstrom[/B]: A combination of wind and water, creates and manipulations a raging vortex. Obviously destructive, and not particular user, or environmentally, friendly. [B]Concatentation[/B]: Light and thunder. Creates a rather chain lightning-esque effect, but it very fine tuned, thus requiring a prior, often event triggered, casting. Can be let off quickly, but the results are far more unpredictable. [B][I]Terra ophilious[/I][/B]: The Earth Snake. No, it doesn't summon a snake made of rock. It actually opens a snake like maw in a face of rock. As well as the obvious advantage of eating people, it's also amazingly good at reovating houses, provided you didn't want that wall there anymore.... [B]Incendiary Orb[/B]: Yes, I know it sounds like a fancy name for "fireball", but that's only partly true. While it is capable of creating ye olde whimsical ball of destructive potential unmatched anywhere else, in most cases this spell is simply there to create more compact balls of flame, usually for use on the ends of a now burning staff.... Physical Description:Picture allowed. Good. Picture it is. Personality: Introverted, cynical and less than open to most people. Something of a nyctophile, something of an eremophile. Is rather bitter about life, and blasé, but if something esoteric comes up, she tends to be phenomenally curious. History: Kattarin ascended her post as a master magess due in main to an affinity with elementalism, secondarily to her own nature. Life, as a whole, bored her, so she concentrated on the immaterial, the abstract, the aethereal. She was solitary enough to study almost exclusively, and curious enough to experiment. Which, of course, toughened her up....Especially developing her [I]Terra ophilious[/i] spell....That one misfired badly quite a few times. Now that she has attained her position, she spends very little time in company other than her own, since there is no longer any real need for it. Protection of the existance she doesn't really care much for seems to be a priority though. Not for any known reason yet. I'll send you a sample sometime soon....[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Spikey, is there some part of "Do not write anymore one line posts" that isn't becoming clear yet?[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]I'm afraid people, that overly short, basically pointless posts are considered spam in this forum. So can we please have some more effort and write some longer stuff? The co-operation is appreciated.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]If you keep making posts like that, then the thread will go. Just a quick note.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Personally TH, I wouldn't give much of a damn about [i]that[/i] particular trio. At all.... The only advice I have to give quatrains and the like a try, rather than just couplets. (Four lines stanzas instead of two. It adds a potential variety for the rhyming scheme, and such.) Other than that, I'll disagree and say that the poem did make sense, to me at least. It simply didn't have a lot of subject.[/font][/color] [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Raiha [/i] [B][color=royalblue] Although I doubt you'll understand, you're too young for these large words. .[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [font=gothic][color=indigo]Yeah Raiha, you're [i]really[/i] in a position to talk there....[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Seriously, if these posts don't increase [i]drastically[/i] in length, someone's gonna feel some ye olde ...wrath. Does wrath have a medieval equivalent?....That's a real quandary that....[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]Walnut, could you please do me a favour and put some more effort into writing longer posts? Thanks.[/font][/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]She might be, but I'm certainly not. For this to continue, it will develop a back story and a potential [I]plot[/i] very, very quickly. Believe me, I have no intention of being patient with the whatever-th rpg of this type I've had to deal with recently. Raiha, the reason I keep telling you to use the report post to moderator button is so you stop posting things like that...I mean, seriously, it's not like you really have to worry about post count or anything....[/font][/color]
