07.14.08 Finished off Lisana out. Added WIP post for Sky is Falling. Cleaned up some info on Aoide and servants.
07.04.08 Adding WIP posts so that I can keep her current to the Grigori timeline. These I already had planned, just holding their spots so I can keep her straight.
(06.14.08 ) Added Goodbyes. She's finally talking again. At least a little. That can only be good, right? XD
(11.08.07) Added A Tired Return. Added in the rest of DSOM with Thabara and Zero Dream.
(11.03.07) Added Oddity Is As Oddity Does.
(06.27.07) Updated a few links, and added a few to other journals. Some may be in private guilds and inaccessible. The links are for my convenience.
(06.14.07) Added Born A King.. At Heart A Clown. Enjoy! twisted
(05.29.07) Started redoing graphics. Just needed a change.
(03.25.07) Added Lisana, Stirrings of Change, Dreams (WIP), Laughter Awakens. Working on a joint with Thabby and Zero, also one with Talencia. Planning a couple others.
(11.30.06) Made some color adjustments to make it easier to read. Also faded all the dates in the index to indicate they are before this point. Lisana evolved, so only new things added from today on will have brightly colored dates on them. It just makes it easier to see what is new.
(11.07.06) Changed some links. Added Birthday Refractions.
(10.26.06) Finished off Transparent Illusions. Carnival is over for Eftemie and Tempest except for the part with Poltros, Thabby, and the bone beads.
(10.17.06) Finished off Future & Fortune. Added Transparent Illusions (WIP), Losses & Gains (WIP), Jace.
(10.03.06) Added Future & Fortune. It's a WIP as it is not finished yet.
(10.02.06) Added the carnival, some new reserved posts at the very end, and new images. Tempest's mask, Effie's bracelet, Effie... I've got about 10 solo rps coming up and one possible joint.
Added Sundancer to the poetry section. It's one of mine.
(09.16.06) Nothing going on right now. Added Jace and Joe but they are slightly ahead of the other things. Still some WIP before them.
(09.02.06) Carnival invitation posted. Link above, finished off The Plot Thickens, finishing off Shopping Trip now. Added some new reserved posts but all at the very end and won't interfere with the rest if it needs to be tallied. Adjusted the list of order of things to come. Added a few.
(08.24.06) Added Trouble For A Toaster. It was something I thought I lost that was a followup from the rp with Trivii. It's there now.
(08.01.06) Trying to clean things up a bit and had to shove a few things two posts down to accommodate a missed rp- a forgotten rp between Trivii and I with a solo afterwards. You will now find links instead of pages in my main journal that leads to the posts in my backup. Trying to c&p from one to the other is getting tiresome. I may eventually html them all but for now, I'm linking in the guild posts, since I keep a wordpad file anyhow with all of it.
(07.27.06) Added Reflection, an Effie solo. Still working on the others yet. The Plot Thickens & In The Comics are WIP right now.
(07.09.06) Added some to the The Shopping Trip, still unfinished. Added solo called A Quiet Moment, still needs work depending on the results of the Shopping RP, but the basics are down.
(06.30.06) Added more to Roommates (done), added a post for The Shopping Trip (WIP)
(06.28.06) Sorry, color change. I couldn't stand the red in her journal. It just didn't fit. Everything is more purple now. Heh..
(06.23.06) Added Roommates, but still WIP
(06.20.06) Roommates is a Work In Process, which means it's not finished yet. Surprises was added.. but wasn't quite finished yet. It is now. Solo post added also.
(06.13.06) Updated Tempest's profile in the Friends post. Added Jace because of his connection to Tempest.

^Story Index^
Story listings are always in order on Lisana's timeline, though the page and post may vary. So don't expect to read straight through my journal and have a continuous story unless you go directly down her listing here to find the page/post for that story. Page 2 is at the bottom with the more current pages at the top. It's easier to update. Each page title is a link to that page now. Thanks to Talencia for the suggestion. It has made it soooo much easier for me to keep her straight. The dates are for the person tallying my journal so that what I add is known to be new.
Any date listed in blue or violet has been tallied.
Any date listed in teal is the current stories and the next tally
Past story titles will always be in olive.
Present story titles will always be in indigo.

::To Do List::
No, this is not my To Do List. It's Lisana's. She has a set of things that she needs to do for Effie. And yes, it's plot related. Wait for it. smile
Dance just once without tripping.
Be on time just once.
Take care of her pets and make sure they are happy.
Remember things without notes.
Return to Baadris someday
Recreate the meadow and cove for the creatures that remain

::Lisana::
Lisana's port link
[img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y179/mirshu/Lisana/Lisana_Youthportsm.png[/img]
Eyes: Violet
Hair: Violet/black mix, flips up in back, tapers to the front
Weight: unknown
Height: unknown
Race: Goddess
Likes: Alliums in purple and white. She loves them! heart
Odd shaped fountains made of blackish/purplish stone
The sound of water and windchimes
Dislikes: Being mothered or patronized
Eccentricities:
She likes to wear stripes and usually clothing that is violet, blue, and white. She avoids other colors.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
She can laugh through just about anything finding humor even dark at herself, but she has always avoided major things trying not to look directly at them. She's working on that, lol.
Quarters:
Lisana now lives at the Pantheon in her rooms there. Her door is full of bubbles and the doorknob decides who enters and who does not.
Skills
Her new skills are Joke, Giggle, Tickle. I'm guessing that Joke is simply a bit stronger ability to tell jokes. Giggle is probably just a stronger version of incite giggle. But Tickle, I have no clue what it is yet. I'll have to ask Ivy when I get a chance... *reminds self*
Wings:: her wings aren't stagnant bubbles. They are a constant, slow production of bubbles that trail after her and up, popping after a bit and constantly renewed.
Minor joke:: Well, she isn't ready for Comedy Central yet, but when needed Lisana can spontaneous come up with a kind-of funny joke. They're not really all that great yet. They say that puns are the lowest form of humor, and well....that's mostly what her power gives her at this stage.
incite giggle:: Like laughing gas, only not quite that violent. Literally give someone the giggles for a couple minutes. It doesn't matter if they're at a funeral, using a jackhammer, or trimming their nails...they're going to giggle. They say laughter is infectious, right? (this does not force people to be happy, though laughing *does* release endorphins)
Books:
Eftemie
Vermillion Gekko
::Eftemie::
Eftemie is entirely gone now except for those memories that Lisana has that belonged to her host. When it was worst for Lisana, Efte gave up what the goddess needed and for that she will never forget her.
Eyes: Jade
Hair: Dark like a raven's wing, usually short but during AOD she lets it grow longer.
Weight: 110 lbs.
Height: 5'5"
Race: Entirely Human
Age: 21
Likes: Purples, teals, golds: Pets which are friends to her more than animals: To laugh and play harmless pranks to make another smile
Dislikes: Forgetfulness: Clutziness: Being disregarded for being less than perfect: Crying
Eccentricities: She is entirely human, but feels a need to blend in. To do this, she often wears hats that look like ears, belts that have tails. Usually this is when she's the most nervous about something. She thinks that if a person can laugh at themselves, they can survive anything.
Strengths & Weaknesses: She loves to laugh and finds amusement in most things. Extremely forgetful, and clutzy. Frequently she trips over nothing, falling in a tangle. She has lists hanging everywhere in her apartment to remind her to do the things most people take for granted such as doing laundry, shopping, etc. She can manage this unless she forgets her list which usually has her own address written at the top to remind her of it. She can find it, but can't always remember the address itself.
Eftemie's mother died in childbirth. Her father held her, tears in his eyes, and named her saying that her eyes sparkled like jewels. That is what her name means.. Jewel. He raised her gently and caringly until she was the age of 10. His death was very hard on her and some say it has attributed to some of her memory loss. She prefers a world where she only holds close the things that mean the most to her. A perfect moment as she calls them sometimes.
Her uncle continued raising her as her father had until she was 19 when she moved into the old warehouse. After much consternation, but knowing she was determined, he renovated the place for her giving her a loft bedroom and large living space in the office area. The balcony has become an enclosed garden which she enjoys.
She is a freelance artist and painter for her uncle as well as others who give her jobs. She makes a decent living though her uncle is wealthy and sees that she has whatever she needs. He continues to check on her at least once a week and repairs the place for her. She often lets her friends move into the extra rooms using her living room and kitchen though each has their own bathroom and private sitting room.

::The Area::
Lisana's door at the Pantheon is rather bright in vivid blues, violets, white, and silver. Bubbles of all sizes made of glass have been put togther in a very odd yet uniquely her way.The doorknocker consists of two halves of a whole. On the outside, Mr. Harry Whodunit decides who enters and who does not by asking for a riddle. No, he does not ask one, he asks for one. So have a riddle ready, or you will never get inside.
The other half of Harry is Sir Jerry Whatsisname. He is the opposite of Harry as he decides who leaves or not. He does not ask for riddles nor does he ask them. He asks for the answers to the riddle that has been given to Harry. If you do not know the answer to your own riddle, you may never leave.
Her room is basically one large area that has been separated by curtains and ivy covered wall sections. White marble with silver, blue, and violet striations scattered through, would be the pathways and main flooring and columns. The walls would definitely be white. Light and airy just the way bubbles drifted and were transparent. Plants would grow in the large and small flowerpots that would be scattered everywhere.
A large step up dais to the left of the entry was surrounded by a short wall on two sides. The surface between the three marble pillars was wide enough to use as a table to those sitting on the plush violet and blue seats or the large violet and blue floor pillows scattered about. Several plants were scattered on the ledge filled with not only greenery but daisies and violet wildflowers. It was a very interesting place for either formal or informal meetings.
The top step, crafted of a darker violet shade of marble, was large and wide enough that it could also serve as a place for entertainment by clowns, jesters, or even musicians with the waterfall fountain that poured down into a small pond just below. One small portion of the fountain spewed bubbles into the air rather than water cascading downwards with a mix of the darker and lighter shades of the same marble used as the fountain bases themselves.
To the top right, a large oak dining set was placed for dinner parties. It would seat sixteen at a time with enough space to enjoy themselves and easily accessed by the kitchen nearby. Linens in white, blue, and violet remained on the table at all times with glass bowls and plates of the same colors alternating throughout.
The bottom right was an informal visiting area for Lisana or the aoide or any guest she had staying with her. It was a plush area with couches and chairs upholstered in fine silks of blue and violet. A large coffee table was centered made of light oak with a blue and violet staining and carved with an intricate carving of parades of people. A large glass top covered the top allowing the design to be seen but not disturbed.
Four rooms to the right were sectioned off with long white curtains. The top one contained a bathroom for others to use complete with the same white marble sink, tub, and vanity trimmed in blues, violets, and a bit of silver.
The second room was a wide open kitchen complete with light oak cabinets, white marble countertop, and a smaller dining set for informality. A large pantry was at the back, though there was nothing but empty shelves within for the moment.
At the very back of the large area was a section of long white curtains containing what was Lisana's bedroom, private alcove, and bathroom. The bed itself was a large oak four poster with the same white curtains drapped around all four sides of the bed for privacy at night. The posts were carved with elegant swirls from the top to the floor. Covered in white silk blankets with a violet and blue throw at the foot, the bed was the first thing seen upon entering the room. Various patterned pillows in white, blue, and violet were scattered at the top for comfort, some tassled and some with lace. Two large violet and white rugs, one eliptical, the other circular, covered the floor around the bed, each one lush and exotically made.
Where a wall should be at the head of the bed, it is open with windchimes hanging in various places. Their tinkle is not unlike the laughter of waternymphs and fairies. If one looks out, the grassy area around the Pantheon is easily visible through the curtains. A faint playful breeze drifts through constantly causing the curtains to flutter and chimes to ring.
In the lower left corner of the room, a carved wooden table and chairs allowed for meals of a more intimate quality. Two carved bookshelves in the upper left corner were only partially filled with tomes and a small arrangement of statues. In the lower right corner a carved wooden desk and chair were placed upon a blue, white, and violet rug for convenience. The upper right contained a large carved closet, strange symbols instead of the parade of people scattered everywhere else.
From the right, a large white curtain sectioned off the bathroom with the same light oak cabinets, marble vanity and sink. The shower however was entirely open, cascading downwards as a natural waterfall would. The tiered floor of the shower slightly angled downwards to become a deeper tub for soaking. It was made of the darker blue and violet shades entirely causing it to stand out against the lightness of everything else.
To the left side of the bedroom was a second set of curtains that opened into an area that looked like a garden alcove complete with marble stone paths that led to an oversized white hammock strewn with various blue and violet patterned pillows. The center contained four comfortable violet and white striped chairs with the images of lush flowers woven into the silk fabrics. Small oak tables were strategically placed nearby.
The lower portion of the alcove contained a swing for two beneath a vine covered A-frame. A wall of lush plants and exotic blossoms created privacy almost as if it were a secret place.
:: Places Frequented::
Eftemie
Vermillion Gekko
:: Aoide & Immortals ::
:: Arlecchino ::Arle, as she is fondly called, is a demon aoide happily serving Lisana, and wears a jester's collar and hat. She shows up during the week of Envy to serve Lisana. She's a happy funny person, but does not understand why Lisana puts up with Yeti. She does not like his drooling.
:: Jhyett ::Jhyett, an feline aoide, shows up at after Creation is returned. Her companion is a jester who whines more than jokes. At least for now.
:: Dat ::Dat is an Aoide and served Lisana in the past and will do so in the present and future. Dat is a creature of magic, and feeds off a particular laugh. She was born from that particular laugh when Lisana first laughed it herself. The less Lisana laughed it herself, though, the less Dat existed. When she finally could not find it within herself to laugh that way anymore, Dat ceased to be. But she has returned now because Lisana laughed with true joy when Creation was returned to them.
:: Jaspar ::Jasper is an immortal reindeer that Lisana uses as a mount when she needs to go long distances. They can be likened to extremely intelligent horses, with basic problem-solving and learning capabilities and deductive reasoning, similar to a child 3 to 6 years of age. They are incapable of speech, and in fact make no noise at all, instead communicating solely through body language.
The Deer can be harmed by normal weapons, though they can sustain more damage than ordinary mortal creatures. In addition, they are fairly resistant to simple exposure to the elements. .
:: Widget ::A floox resembles a cross between a fox and a chinchilla, of a size closer to the latter. They are fluffy, particularly around the face, with tails longer than their bodies and short, pointed ears. The most common type of floox is a wintery bluish-white.
:: Jarre :: Jarre is a floox from the celebration of the restoration of the stars and sky. Lisana caught the creature and he has bonded with her and remained. Like the star-bellied flooxes, these have a special ability: as they walk, small blades of grass and clover grow at their feet. If they expend a greater amount of effort, sitting and staring in focused concentration, they can will a single flower to grow.
:: Arabel ::Arabel came from the Labyrinth where Saljin and Puck came from. Her gift is springtime, including growth, blooms, and fertility as in multiplying plants and animals. Most births are in the springtime at the beginning of the season, and her power is weaker during other seasons, but still usable. Her eyes are a brilliant aqua green, the same color markings on her face and headdress. Her gown is long and flowing in the same colors. Her luxurious long hair swings to her ankles, thick blonde, brunette, and even some reddish streaks to it. She is currently helping Rem getting plants to grow.
:: Heroic Mortals ::
:: Rejali Arzuli ::Hasheem's sister, she is a very good dancer. She had refused to dance at the Sultan's palace several times knowing it would trap her there if someone took a liking to her. She loves Fashad and always planned to marry him. During the DOTD fest, she got her chance. Lisana performed the ceremony. She has the same black hair, dark eyes, and dark skin that most of her race has.
:: Morghana ::Not much is known of Morghana yet. It's suspected that she does have some magic, much like the celts of old did.
:: Followers ::
:: Hasheem Kharez ::Lisana met Hasheem, a mortal, in the Origin city of Baadris. He is the Captain of Lisana's personal guards and familiar with most types of weapons and armour as such needed by his men. He is familiar with forging and smelting, mainly glass but some metal. He actually has a crush on Lisana, but he will outgrow it. He has dark skin, dark eyes, and dark hair as most of his people do. (Please note, the image is a placeholder since that's as close to what he looks like I can get for now. )
:: Sinestra ::Her age is unknown though she seems an ancient crone. Her eyes are gray and seem to see through people as they gaze from beneath white dreadlocks. She seldom dresses in anything but black with red and violet trim, a myriad of beaded bracelets jangling on both wrists while her neck is covered in the same style of necklaces. The only thing that really stands out is a strange symbol at the end of a silver chain. None know what it means and she isn't explaining.Irdra was Sinestra's servant. She's always dressed in black, shows little emotion, and serves only the fortune-teller. She is quiet, very formal and those who meet her barely remember her even being there beyond leading them to Lady Sinestra. The connection between she and Sinestra is hidden within the necklace the woman wears constantly. Irdra has vanished unknown to anyone.
:: Yeti ::Yeti is a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater. He's about the size of a basketball. Four fangs show but inside his mouth are several rows of small teeth angled inward much like a sharks. He's very protective of Lisana, much in the way a guarddog would protect its master. He may bite, so beware.... His favorite morsels to eat are what he calls Tasties, but it's unknown at this time what those Tasties truly are.
:: Cor ::Cor is a heroic mortal from the CYO Sky event. He is owned and played by Talencia. His character and information has been set up by Talencia as she owns him.
:: Fashad Arzuli ::A childhood friend of Hasheem's, Fashad married Rejali, Hasheem's sister. They followed Lisana to the Pantheon from Baadris. He commands the guards as Hasheem's lieutenant. His hair is dark, dark eyes, dark skin, though he is slightly taller and more muscular than Hasheem. His skills are pretty much what Hasheem's are including weapons and armour as well as knowing the basics of forging and smelting.
:: Calypso ::Lisana currently has the bag and key to this banshee but she has not been unlocked yet.:: Sayd ::A guard who came along from Baadris. He is usually found with Rem, the old gardener. The lotuses are very important to his race and he considers it a privilege to protect them. He has the same dark features though he is much younger than the rest of the guards.
:: Mian ::Mian came from Baadris with her family, following Lisana. She is now Lisana's personal seamstress and works with fine silks that were brought with them. She refused to leave them behind though the supply is limited. She plans to remain the rest of her days with Lisana even should the opportunity to return to Baadris presents itself.:: Treshali ::Mian's daughter who is equally as skilled with a needle as her mother. Her husband and three children came with them when they left Baadris. She wants to return someday but is happy just being where she is for now.:: Rem ::He was an old gardener who cared for the hanging gardens in the palace in Baadris. Lisana insisted he come along with them and forced the issue when the demons attacked. He now cares for the plants they have tried to stabilize.:: Meroe ::Meroe's age is unknown. All that's known of him is that he's a ghostly juggler who enjoys tossing his own head about to amuse others. Eftemie saw him at DSOM carnival and he found his way to her later.
:: Chloe` ::Chloe` is a jester entirely mortal and human. She is clutzy and prone to accidents as well as causing more trouble than most think she can. She is at times very negative, but can also be very amusing in her jokes and clowning around. She is seldom seen without a jester's costume on. It's her way of hiding who she really is and she does not often let people get close to her.
:: Sonii & Dot ::Sonii is a Chirra with butterfly like wings as well as a furry body. She is very gentle and timid, usually taking care of small creatures. Dot is her pet frog. One is seldom seen without the other.:: Saiyon ::An oni doll that is found and given to Lisana because of the colors it is.:: Nahra ::An oni doll that is found and given to Lisana because of the colors it is.::Sod ::Sod is a mirshu, his particular affinity being earth. He stands no higher than the oni do and look like small children even as adult.:: Linus ::Often called Monkieboy by Lisana, he is a foolish, rude, sarcastically amusing baboon/monkey/thing who screeches with laughter and whirls around the room. He quite often makes a rude noise and hoots his own amusement. A cross between an orangutan and a baboon, at least that is the best description one can give of him. Monkieboy waves overly long arms about and waddles hooting loud enough to make ears ring or wake the dead. His only purpose is his own amusement, but she tends to laugh at his antics. Noone knows why he just appeared one day to stay with Lisana. But she was sure there was a reason for his presence. She only ever calls him Linus if something is serious and she needs his attention. He knows she will not be amused if he continues. He is a young child's humor gone utterly wild. It's rumored he has another name, but it's not been discovered. Right now his stories are only in the past. He has not returned yet.
:: Joe Jaxton ::Joe is Eftemie's uncle, Lisana's host, and he was a construction company owner before the world went to hell. He would be able to help build anything from a kiln to an aqueduct to a building. Whatever was needed, he did on the job. Black hair graying at the temples, blue eyes.:: Lakor ::He came from Baadris with the others. Age 40, widowed, three grown children whocame with him from Baadris, coppery red hair, brown eyes, average wealth family,
uses swords, daggers, polearms and maces.
:: Worev ::He came from Baadris with the others. age 20, recently married, baby on the way, wife Daema, short blonde hair, green eyes, low soft boots, brown cloak, blue jacket,

Vermillion Gekko
::Gods Met::
::Byrne::
She liked Byrne instantly, quite taken by him as he brandished his mop around and speaking of a god-killer whom only he could see. At least for a few moments before the refridgerator came to life swallowing he and a few others. His mop and bucket are much like her ears and tail which help her to blend in with the population as she wishes to. Others think them strange but to them it helps. Lisana has not met Byrne yet, but she treasures the memories that Eftemie did.
::Kaelin::
Eftemie met Kaelin when she was in the Pantheon looking for Byrne. She liked him immediately. Lisana met Kaelin when looking for Una and Nixie to thank them. She likes him a great deal, partially influenced by Eftemie's feelings about the god.
::Una::
Lisana met Una when she went to thank she and Yaxha for helping Arlecchino and Yeti. She likes both Una and her sister.
::Nixie::
Lisana met Nixie when she went to thank Una and Yaxha and Nixie for their sheltering Arle and Yeti. She likes the child alot.
::Morpheus::
Eftemie met him briefly in the god-killing incident but barely had a chance to speak to him before he was swallowed. Lisana has not met yet.
::Beryl::
Eftemie met Beryl briefly in the same god-killing incident as Morpheous and others. Lisana has not met.
::Revei::
Another whom Eftemie met in the god-killing incident and he was eaten as well. Lisana has not met.
::Nev'n::
Eftemie met Nev'n also in the god-killing incident for a few moments. She noted he did not seem well, but had as little time to speak to him as the others with the god-killer on the loose. Lisana has not met.
::Evadne::
Eftemie met Evadne by accident in a junkshop while looking for a toaster. She didn't know what Evadne was and has not met Trivii` yet. Lisana has not met her yet.
::Cosine::
Lisana met Cosine when she asked for people to go to Baadris with her. She really likes her and considers her a friend.
::Glyph::
Lisana met Glyph on the same trip to Baadris.
::Nergal::
Eftemie met the god unawares during the Darkside of the Moon Carnival. She liked him even though she thought he was a bit quiet. Lisana has met him formally but thinks he should relax a bit more. But she likes him despite that seriousness.
::Echo::
Eftemie met the goddess unawares during the Carnival with Nergal. She liked her also. Lisana has not met her yet.
::Eid:: Lisana met him when she sent some of hers to help in the forge. She likes him, but really does not know him.
::Ankou::
Lisana met briefly when he opened the door to Baadris for them.
::Glaucon::
Lisana met the god briefly when going to Baadris.
::Lacrymosa::
Lisana met the little goddess in the hallway and likes her immensely. Lisana has not met either of Crys' brothers but is looking forwards to it.
::Rio:: Lisana has met him twice. She had fun with him during the sky celebration and thinks he is quite entertaining.
:: Tien :: She met Tien one afternoon at the Pantheon. She likes trickery alot and knows they would easily get into mischief.
:: Karaskis:: Lisana met the goddess and likes her. She seems to have a good sense of humor.
:: Sotiris::
:: Akakios::
:: Arctang:: Lisana has met Arctang. She likes him a great deal and thinks of him as a friend. There could actually be more with him one day.
:: Carpediem:: Lisana has not met Carp, but she has Priscilla. She dearly loves the little girl and this may translate over into her affection for Carp at some point.
:: Phalanx ::
:: Kaelin :: Lisana more than liked Kaelin from the start, but it took them awhile to end up together. It was endearing the way he courted her with music and gifts. He's been gone a long time now and she's wondering if he will ever be back. In the meantime, she has turned to Arctang as a close friend and perhaps more at some point.
:: Yu the Five Claws :: Lisana met Yu during the Sky event. She gave him a gift of a yellow striped cat. It was a sort of double joke for he and his host Fragment.
::Friends & Enemies::
::Chaeval::
Her best and probably only friend who disappeared. Eftemie looked for her, after finding an address to a shop. Chaeval was not there to meet her and has never been seen since. Eftemie has given up looking for her.
::Tempest::
Tempest is his stage name and he's 23 years old. He doesn't like Iohannes Mallow, his real name though that's what the checks are signed with. Though, he's a good magician and has a job in a club nightly, he's not had alot of publicity. He enjoys what he does and makes decent money at it, so being famous matters little. His eyes are a deep blue purple, and his hair is raven black but originally red. He dyes the long and straight strands black. Two long braids on the right hang about 5 inches below his chin. Each braid has a silver bead and red feather on it, but only one bead has a pattern on it. He is seldom seen right now without his black fedora with a black raven's feather and silver bead on the hat band. He now follows Tajnevaki after a falling out and Eftemie's.... disappearance?

::Critters::
Any of these critters can be found in or just outside Lisana's rooms at the Pantheon. She loves the creatures she finds and many seem drawn to her. Most of these were Eftemie's. I may put a description of them here at some point. I might not. For now- there is not.

::Tasty Tidbits::
Some sort of poetry either I wrote or a favorite of mine. These are all mine, so enjoy it. XD
::Sundancer::
The sun dances on your golden hide,
As you prance your way by me,
Shining with the glitter of treasure
Well hidden until a gleam is suddenly seen.
Not the outer golden shell,
But the shine within
Leads us both to each other
And then away again.
One touch, one perfect moment,
As our lives twine for an instant only,
To be kept for all time
As we remember the sun shining.
Sundancer, Sundancer,
Come to me...
Show me that you understand
What one perfect moment would be..
Golden grasses whisper that it's true,
Golden treasures lie deep within.
But I see you for who you are
And would not change that now or then,
But as we meet in that perfect moment,
We both will never be the same.
Following our own desires
Perhaps we would meet again.
In a moment not as perfect,
But touch and then move on.
Sundancer, Sundancer,
Come to me...
Show me that you understand
What one perfect moment would be...

::Where I Sit::
Nightingales sing on a Shooting Star,
Spirits in the Leaves sink and rise,
The Fish leap the Dancing Rocks
In the Tumult of a Sacred River,
In fertile Ground Forests spring ancient as Hills
Which Winged Horses fly over,
A Pearl enfolding sunny spots of Greenery
With a trembling and gleaming Glance,
With the Moon smiling upon it,
The Wood echoes with Music loud and long...
And the Wind sings in harmony with the Sun...
Where I sit.

::Notes & Information::
New info on the way things are right now.....
The Setting Itself
The dread tremors in the fabric of what Is have subsided, replaced by a true peace. It is a time of rebuilding, mourning for what was lost, and planning for the future. Not many survived the throes of the impending elemental weeks, but those who have may be glad that they have much to do. Creation is returned, called Harmodius in this form once more as a simple name. His manner is somewhat enigmatic as usual, but who is to say if this is merely normal or the happenstance that accompanies a rebirth from a state such as the Gehenna force.
The court of gods, the Pantheon, remains. The Twin Crown has resurrected his title and assumed the throne once more.
The home of the gods is now neither shop, nor throne hall, but an open and peaceful place with soaring columns and statues amid moss gardens and plentiful fruit trees.
From the main shop thread:
Quote:
Jewel Wrote: An Edelsteine has four stages. Purchasers will be given a jewel. These jewels contain the essence and magic of a specific type of deity/power/influence. The jewel will be implanted into the owner's body and will begin to form a connection to the owner's soul.
-At this stage, your rp is focussed on the slow wakening of the deity withing the mind of your character, and the begining changes.
-At this stage, the magic of the deity is wholly limited to the host body and just barely to their environment. Their magic is not yet regained enough to form attacks on other players outside of plain brawl and melee that the body is capable of. It cannot form influence over others either. Such as: a deity if Thought could not yet use telepathy to read another person's mind as a jewel, just their host's.
-Use a "OOC:" when rping or storytelling at this stage, please. That will help other players and readers to delineate.
Morphs Wrote: The morph is the second stage. It will replace the jewel in the owner's signature, showing the begining chrysallis of merging between the jewel soul power and the soul of the owner. This process may be interpretted as painful, not painful, fast, slow, whatever, depending on the jewel.
-At this stage, the deity is either in process of destroying the hosts mind/soul, is trying to merge with the hosts mind to try to keep some shard of them alive, or maybe some other option. Talk it over with me if you have a fun idea.
-At this stage, deities are not reborn yet. Abilities of the host are still partially usable/manifest. Abilities of teh deity are basic at best. Maybe one small magic is available to them, and not with great control over it. And example of this would be a water deity being able to fill a glass of water, and that's all.
-You will be given a small portrait image to use in thread rp. It has come to my attention that ooc chat and rp chat may be confused. So by providing these portraits at this "active" rp stage it should help clear that up a bit.
-Certifications include powers to avoid excessive God-modding.
Requirements:
Quote: jewel to morph
about at about 3 pages( after page 1)....aka:
normal=15-20 solo, 15-20 joint
I like writing with others=10-15 solo, 20-25 joint
I like my own writing=20-25 solo, 10-15 joint
Youth Wrote: A "youth", the third stage of the Edelsteine, is the deity reborn. This means that everything is now the deity's, it is their mind, their body, their soul now.
-the original host character, provided they have not been destroyed by the deity, only exists as a whisper, a conscience, or a voice in the mind of teh deity. None of their powers remain. They cannot control the body. They were sacraficed for the rebirth of the deity, and if they still exist in that smallest sense, it was only at the desire of the immortal whom is beyond their puny mortal comprehension. Maybe a mannerism of the host, such as sucking on their hair, or liking the color blue, is still apparent. But not much beyond that. -These creatures have minor powers associated with their fields of influence.
-These creatures are NOT AT THEIR FULL STRENGTH. A youth deity is a deity with no followers, no beleivers, no influx of any human regard to return them to their full glory and power. Just as lack of followers or cult is what made them forgotten and killed them, it is what keeps them from becoming great and powerful again.
-Certifications include powers to avoid excessive God-modding.
Requirements:
Quote: morph to youth

normal=60-75 solo, 60-75 joint

RP-ONLY FINAL STAGE
Deity Wrote: The final and rarest stage of the Edelsteine.
-It is not a necessary stage of development, however if acheived the deity is at full strength. They can influence the world in major way. Their powers are at FULL STRENGTH. (please not this doesn't give any player the right to kill another player's character without consent.)
Requirements:
Quote: youth to Deity

Candidates must have created at least 5 works in glory of their edel. These many be pictoral, prose, poetry, or the like.
-At this stage, your rp is focussed on the slow wakening of the deity withing the mind of your character, and the begining changes.
-At this stage, the magic of the deity is wholly limited to the host body and just barely to their environment. Their magic is not yet regained enough to form attacks on other players outside of plain brawl and melee that the body is capable of. It cannot form influence over others either. Such as: a deity if Thought could not yet use telepathy to read another person's mind as a jewel, just their host's.
-Use a "OOC:" when rping or storytelling at this stage, please. That will help other players and readers to delineate.
Morphs Wrote: The morph is the second stage. It will replace the jewel in the owner's signature, showing the begining chrysallis of merging between the jewel soul power and the soul of the owner. This process may be interpretted as painful, not painful, fast, slow, whatever, depending on the jewel.
-At this stage, the deity is either in process of destroying the hosts mind/soul, is trying to merge with the hosts mind to try to keep some shard of them alive, or maybe some other option. Talk it over with me if you have a fun idea.
-At this stage, deities are not reborn yet. Abilities of the host are still partially usable/manifest. Abilities of teh deity are basic at best. Maybe one small magic is available to them, and not with great control over it. And example of this would be a water deity being able to fill a glass of water, and that's all.
-You will be given a small portrait image to use in thread rp. It has come to my attention that ooc chat and rp chat may be confused. So by providing these portraits at this "active" rp stage it should help clear that up a bit.
-Certifications include powers to avoid excessive God-modding.
Requirements:
Quote: jewel to morph
about at about 3 pages( after page 1)....aka:
normal=15-20 solo, 15-20 joint
I like writing with others=10-15 solo, 20-25 joint
I like my own writing=20-25 solo, 10-15 joint
Youth Wrote: A "youth", the third stage of the Edelsteine, is the deity reborn. This means that everything is now the deity's, it is their mind, their body, their soul now.
-the original host character, provided they have not been destroyed by the deity, only exists as a whisper, a conscience, or a voice in the mind of teh deity. None of their powers remain. They cannot control the body. They were sacraficed for the rebirth of the deity, and if they still exist in that smallest sense, it was only at the desire of the immortal whom is beyond their puny mortal comprehension. Maybe a mannerism of the host, such as sucking on their hair, or liking the color blue, is still apparent. But not much beyond that. -These creatures have minor powers associated with their fields of influence.
-These creatures are NOT AT THEIR FULL STRENGTH. A youth deity is a deity with no followers, no beleivers, no influx of any human regard to return them to their full glory and power. Just as lack of followers or cult is what made them forgotten and killed them, it is what keeps them from becoming great and powerful again.
-Certifications include powers to avoid excessive God-modding.

RP-ONLY FINAL STAGE
Deity Wrote: The final and rarest stage of the Edelsteine.
-It is not a necessary stage of development, however if acheived the deity is at full strength. They can influence the world in major way. Their powers are at FULL STRENGTH. (please not this doesn't give any player the right to kill another player's character without consent.)

Clarifications on the Age of Destruction Multiverse
Quote:
The shop:
The downstairs of the shop has completely changed (the upstairs hall remains the same). The outside of the shop now appears as a multi-statued, carven obsidian building with great stained glass windows. The expansive gardens are now dry and black, the earth blasted and ashen. The water beds and pools are now lava flows. Destruction reigns, and all churns with the decay and fall of life.
The dragon statues in the throne room are as follows: one of ash, one bone, one bronze, one wood, one glass and one obsidian.
<map/layout on front page>
Often there is ash all over the lower floor because ash continually comes off of Destruction's form.
Blood is common as well, occassionally dismembered bodies or various races. To worship destruction is to offer sacrafices. He enjoys the ending of things, the chaos of the coming of the end.
Quote:
The surround fictional town and planet:
'Every time stream, every dimension, every plane now feels the touch of Destruction. Natural disasters abound, tempers flare between rival nations and war is loosed, plague beasts run through peoples and sicken the masses, planets whither and die, whole star systems shudder and nova. Peace is shattered wholly, and sorrow reigns.
The skies of every world have now cancerously darkened. '
Aka, everything is a mess. Areas are desolate and ghost town-ish, some places still have people but have degraded to a mad-max and Thunderdome lack of societal structure, others remain intact and hosiptals still exist and new stations just have to report on disasters or sudden wars with other countrys, etc. The closer to the actual shop, the more extreme the desolation.
Some mortals, those in areas that remain intact and modern except for the influx of disease, extreme weather or such (like our world but if iraq invaded the US or if the buboonic plague hit again or if califronia did just suddenly fall into the sea in a huge earthquake) likely are suspicious of whether or not the world is coming to an end.
I'll link Perri's contest entry with her permission for a good example of an alternative view of how the influence of destruction is affecting life in different areas vs. the heavy-handed, obvious way the shop gardens were affected.

Protection of the Gods
In all cases, 'protection' requires the mental attention and direct focus of the god in question (they can still recieve visitors, but they aren't going to be enchanting items or granting huge boons or fighting other gods). They are specifically exerting their influences to try to protect an area. Mind you, a god of the forest can't 'protect' a downtown city....it isn't their magic to do so. If they tried, the city are would start to become overgrown and turn into a forest.
As soon as the deity's attention is shifted to elsewise, the decay starts.
For gods whose influence is not a physically regional thing, such as 'anger' or 'dream' for example, they can't protect physical regions. It simply isn't their power. They can still grant mortals boons, and do what is in their power. Example: Mortals could flock to Anger because such a god could remove the feeling of anger and war-tired mortals would feel safe from that form of destruction. Then Anger could herd them to an allied regional gods area of protection.
Jewel stage - cannot stop the taint of Destruction's power into anything they care about.
Morph stage - can only affect a single zone (their room, a swimming pool, a baseballfield, and so forth. small zones) to keep it 'normal' while they are in it. Like a unicorn's forest, if they leave the zone they were protecting then it is swallowed in the taint and will begin to decay/corrupt/be destroyed. If they return to the area, they can stop the progression of the taint, and only painfully slowly with much magic and focus begin to reverse the damage.
Youth stage - These godlings can affect a larger region ( a national park, a city) and protect them with their power. Youth gods can leave their region of protection as long as their focus remains on it and their magic remains given to it. Like other stages, as soon as their magical focus is broken, the decay starts and can only slowly be reversed.
Deity stage - They can stave off Destruction's magic in a large area , like a country. Exceptions to this are the Primodials, who can protect continents at deity stage (but other stages remain as normal edelsteine)
Leaving their zone is like the youth stage: they can keep their focus there and it will be fine, or break it and the decay starts.
The Dragon Kings: The dragon kings all follow the same rules of protection that the normal edelsteine follow, except for Tien Lung. Tien Lung was the Worldshield, created by Harmodius in the forgotten years before the Fading for the express purpose that his skin serve as the barrier between the heavenly worlds and mortal realms (think the barriers formed around the battles in the old CLAMP "X" movie) to keep the wars of the fickle gods between each other from mass killing and destroying of All that Is.
Tien Lung - jewel - nada
- morph - as normal edel youth
- youth - as normal edel diety
- diety - He can protect entire an galaxy from the full force of Destruction and by fully exerting himself the can have the taint be kept at 50% EVERYWHERE.

It is psychologically a normal and common reaction for people to choose to ignore the obvious. Flight or fight, naturally (or "ignore or do something/anything" in this case)
I'm sure there are plenty of people ready to crack that have just chose to explain away the forever darkened skies as a 'long storm' or the sudden wars as just the inevitable of whatever leader or political climate of teh times. The epidemics the same way. However, with all the symptoms combined and now having lasted far over a couple weeks, its going to be getting harder and harder to emplain things away.
So, are there peopl doing that ? Yes, yes there are. Most mortals hate being faced with dire situations. Feel free to write about such people, but keep in mind that the inevitable result with things goingon as long as they are, those people are eitehr going to have to face it eventually or actually go mad because they can't handle the truth: developing delusional schizophrenia or other such problems.
Hence the level to which Destruction has loosed his power...no one can ignore it forever without going insane(and that is the same as them succumbing to Him and Oblivia!Calico, so just as good).

::Aoidei Information
Aoidei, singular Aoide.
From the three origianl muses, these mini-immortals are the "voices" of the gods they serve. They are servants of old, who praise and attend the temples, advise to a minor degree, and see to their masters needs. The mouths of their gods to the mortal followers.
They can fly, clean, cook and sing. They have no immediate powers themselves, save immunity to death by passage of time.

*raises hand* Question~! What does happen when Aoide 'die'? =o
Aoide are of the cl*** of Immortals that are Ageless. By this, they do not grow old and time will never kill them. They can, however, be killed in battle, by magic, etc.
Upon death, an Aoide's essence is put before Justice/Judgement. Before that seat it would be determined if they had served their station as a muse and servant well. (note, that I say their station, not whether they are good or evil )
Those who were judged to have served well receive the choice to be given over to paradise to rest for all eternity, or to be given over to rebirth and re-enter the cycle of the world in some form. (The form bestowed, be it again an aoide, a mortal creature, another of the ageless, etc. varied. In all cases, such a being would be of exceptional abilities)
Those who were judged to have served poorly were given over to Nemesis, daughter of Destruction, who would see to it that they suffered accordingly and/or where banished from ever existing with her father's aid.
A note of curiosity, however, the Fading affected many of the Aoide as it did their masters. Their power waned , the majority of them just faded into nothingness, bare voices and memories on the wind until they were silenced and forgotten forever. A fate as gruesome as the end of Nemesis.
The strongest of them often fell into a deathless sleep, for while they were diminished, these prince's and favourite's had strength enough to seal themselves away and wait. This was in part action and suggestion by Creation, though only the Aoide and the last of the gods to fall are aware of such efforts. Some literally were given to sleep, others sealed like statues, and so on. Aoide won through shop events are of this sort, once old powers now diminished, but gladly awakened to search out places among the Gods service. Have fun with discovering/writing just what method was found between them and Creation to seal them away until the voices of the gods woke them.
12th Age The age of Immortal glory – The first plays of the gods, those with favor and keeping in the court of the twin crown were given pearls by him as gifts. Some chose to birth the pearls alone, and of their singular power alone. Some worked with the magic of their friends, lovers or made treaties to birth the pearls with joint influences. Each of these pearls became of the First Children, the ageless immortals who are strong in the mana of the gods and do not die like their creators by the passage of time only. They may be caught, killed, or fall prey of accident.
13th Age The age of First Man - This time went forth bones as gifts to the gods and ageless immortals alike from Gaia. From these bone seeds sprang the mortal races of the earliest kinds. These were the greatest mortals, High Bloods, who lived long and had strong magic in their veins.
The Ageless Immortals are creatures that cannot die from the passage of time. For the purposes of definitie, most of the greatest mythological creatures fall into this category (the strong, eternal kind that capture mortal hearts and fears and strike awe at mention of their names). Some dragons, unicorns, harpies, pixies, some races of elves, and the like fall into this category. Some of them can be killed easily, others have only special conditions under which they can be slain.
Normal elves, dwarves, etc. that are long lived, but highly connected to their elements and cycles of the universe are considered of the second brood, the First Man (Man in this case being used as the gender/race neutral pronoun).
