The young human mercanary wandered boredly through the woods, these woods were familiar and yet not. dark brown almost black eyes glanced around and brushed the thick blue-black hair out of his face, with one black gloved hand. As he walked, the gentle chiming of his chain mail soothed his agitated nerves, and the solid weight of his great sword, Srenzhgrach, rested reasuringly against his back. his name was Erianceth, also known as "Eric the Dark" The only human to come face to face with an Agatsi demon, and live.

Illusor Meaneld Illusor lead the two newcomers neatly through the forests of Matri, the deep almost jungle-like foliage stretched up nearly as far as the eye could see. sunlight rarely seemed to filter through the thick canopy. yet despite this lack, as they walked it grew uncomfortably warm. Illusor passed through bushes, and by plants with seemingly little adverse affect on his attire. Yet when Lucien attempted to do the same the thick branches snagged at him almost as if they had a will of their own. The insects that seemed to awaken at their passing, and also had an unnusual tendancy to ignore the silver-haired healer, did little to soothe the nerves of the travelers. Nor did the fact that Illusor seemed to be the only person absolutely certain they were not traveling in circles, and that the endlessly similar trees were indeed different ones... Leo looked around at his confusingly unfamilliar suroundings. "Um... I suppose I should have asked this before, but, where are we?"

furry1337otaku The gadmir slammed into the earth face first deadly maw wide open, spewing its acidic venom. Andrea Jamie Wayfarer smirked then leapt nimbly out of the way as acid sizzled the ground behind her. "HYAA!" She sliced cleanly through the serpent's neck, then reversed the direction of her blade, pinning the partially severed head to the ground.
"Whew, this one was a smart one, almost snuck up behind me." She sighs in releif stretching her lithe form. Then she draws a mid sized dagger from her belt and begins expertly disecting the fallen serpent. Keeping parts of it for sale, food, and supplies. The bounty was high on this individual, it had been attacking the small town nearby incessently for three months. She had heard that in the old days, such problem creatures were reptorted to all local bounty hunters as soon as the first fatality surfaced. But ever since Fubrant took power the status of things declined.
She sighd again, remembering what she could of her childhood. She had traveled with her brother and grandmother. Sometimes she'd even hang out at the castle with the Prince Backdraft. That brought a much less pleasing thought to mind. Anyone even mildly associated to the crown was discovered dead. Murdered in a myriad of ways. She hated to think what might have become of the young ponytailed boy. Andrea faintly heard the muted sounds of footsteps only moments before the gruff voice startled her. Two men, who'd aproached with obvious skill stood at the edge of the clearing. One of them in a red coat and sunglasses was the source of the voice. "That is quite a beast, never seen it's like before, but it looks tasty. Mind if we share in your bounty?" The other slightly shorter man rolled his eyes, and leveled a peircing stare at the young girl. They were both armored, and the tall man had a thick heavy katana slung over his shoulder. There was something unusual about them both, and the shorter one with the dark stained lips was particularly unnerving

Torvelion looked around with interest between swatting strange bugs and pushing past bushes. "not the sort of place I'd like to call home, but other than that its quite attractive, if you enjoy the incessant buzzing that is." he remarked. then he stopped for just a moment, as if listening to something, then he half-mumbled, " enjoying myself?!?!?! sometimes I think your just waiting around for me to die because you think it would be amusing... bu-...well its not my fault I'm stranded in the bug infested forest of never-ending circles now is it?...What, you just thought it would be funny, I can't believe this! this is an outrage, and this is certainly NOT amusing one bit. sometimes I think I shall just have to find myself another deity of luck...what am I forgetting?...I never promised that!! When?... OH!! right after we..." he turned scarlet all the way down to the collar of his shirt and looked around quickly to see if anyone had noticed," thats not fair!!...Well of course I enjoyed myself! and-...no!!...fine...fine but you have to help me out of this...argh!!! Its NOT FUNNY!!!!... hey! where are you going? no, no, no, pleeaaase don't leave me here!... are you there?... DANGIT!!"

There was something unusual about them both, and the shorter one with the dark stained lips was particularly unnerving OOC: Oh and I just set up this page yester day, but it'll be a great help to you all, there're even a few image links to some of the creatures, I'm working on a gadmir one, all I need to do is finish drawing a properly tapered and sinuous tail, but's it's easier said than done using a mouse. But I like to think i'm getting pretty good with it, as you might see in the Cercanth and Hocca pictures, And although the hocca doesn't look as rodent-like as I'd originally intended, it looks even cooler as it is. Oh and feel free to bug me about any inconsistancies that rub you the wrong way, i've already spotted a few revisions i should make...The original version of this is the intro to the rp i started in the main part of gaia...Unfortunatly it never really took off, the entire third page consist of me arguing with myself in OOC...yet, technically, i was still trying to act somewhat in character...except Misopan...he doesn't flirt...EVER...he lets the girls come to him...and then he runs away. Oh and there's also a really awesome thing on discovery.com Do any of you recall the "walking with dinosaurs" specials with all the cool cgi dinosaurs and stuff. Now they're doing another show of this type...with Dragons. I wish i still had cable crying

Illusor paused in his hiking and glanced back at Leo, "I do hope you realize you are on the planet 'Matri?' He glanced at both of them carefully. "To be more specific, if you were to walk slightly southwest of our current position you would find yourself running straight into the town of 'Parte'. Right now I was leading us to my cottage, it is hard to find unless you know where to look, and that is precisely how I intended it." He walked a little ways further until he could no longer pretend to ignore Lucian's outbursts. He turned again and leveled his silvery gaze on the outlander, "Um,...just a thought, but you might be warned that most voices you hear in your head are some telepathic creature with a perverse sense of humor. Matri, unfortunatelly, abounds in gifted creatures prone to twisted jokes." This said he continued on his way again.

"Marty????" where the heck is THAT?!?!?" Torvelion yelled incredulously, "and yes, I hear voices in my head, and yes, she's telepathic, and yes, she has a perverse sense of humor and yes, she's prone to twisted jokes. But unfortunately, she does not originate from Marty, as she has been at this since I was about 14 years of age."
"Don't worry, most of the time she can be fun to be around, but recently, she's had a meanstreak. She even went so far as to think that I wouldn't blame her for the little purple grinning lizard thing that teleported me here" he said. at that moment, a pinecone fell from above the treetops, it would have landed driectly on torvelion's skull had he not stretched at that very moment, as it was, it landed in the palm of his hand, he looked at it in surprise. " what the-HEY!, there ARE NO PINECONES in this forest!!!!! really, dear, you ought to be more discreet"
"are you still trying to deny that little lizard thingy was yours? I don't care if it IS called the mini lizard!!!" at this a hail of pincones descended from th forest canopy, all of them conveniently aimed at torvelion. " HOLY--" he yalled as he dove out of the way, behind a tree, " are you trying to kill me!!!" he yelled as he continued to dodge falling acorns and pinecones that were moving at about 40 miles an hour, " JUST HURT ME A LITTLE??? HEY!!!"
Torvelion then ran off into the forest, in the general direction they were already going, dodging pinecones and acorns...some 10 minutes later, they found a pile of pinecones, most with bladed edges or the like, at their approach it moved and in a commanding tone, said, "ow"

The red coated man smiled, "Great I'm starved! Err, actually I don't have experience with this particular beast, but carving's something I'm very good at, one of the best actually. Some would say the best. But I don't mean to brag." He hefted his sword with deceptive ease and approached the dead serpent. "Just tell me where to swing. Oh, and the name's Auron by the way, and this guy with me is Raziel, my companion by circumstance."
The taller, unsettling, man who had remained silent till this point answered, "A pleasure, I'm sure!"

OOC: One of these days i'm serious going to smash one of these computers. First it kills my "The world of Matri" page with new species additions and image links, and then it eats my really long post that described gadmir biology. Why do you hate me computer, what did i ever do to you? crying crying crying crying "Well, I already removed the venom glands so as long as you don't hit the acid ducts we ought to be fine. Just slit the belly and the guts will fall out, then we're having ribs. But then again ya never know when some lowlife hoccas and/or minidragons will show up..."OOC: Well here's a couple of pics i uploaded Scenic picLooks closely you'll see Misopan's sihouette, but since his hair's at a funny angle it could almost be goku from DBZ Gadmir I drew that snake using only a mouse. *toots her own horn and grins about it*

Name: Lorali Pearl-Haunt
Origins: She was born and raised deep within the forest. She grew up making a life from town to town. There are few deep within the forests that donèt know who she is.(though they donèt know what)
Appearance: In her human form she is medium height with gold/red hair that is neatly braided down her back. A scarf the color of the tree leaves hides most of it. Her eyes are gold and pearly white. Years of trianing have honed them to be sharp, and miss nothing. Pale skin is hidden under pants and a loose shirt of browns and greens. The colors excellently dyed to blend in with the background. In her dragon form she is no longer than an arm. Her teeth and nails are an unusual pearly white. Her little serpant body is covered in red scales that glint with gold. so small and fine the scales they almost look like fur. delicate wings adorn her back that are not big but flap fast, like a humming birds, giving her that extra manouverability. her teeth and claws are a pearly white. Other forms to be announced.
Abilities and Skills: She is skilled in most rangerly abilities. tracking, hunting, hiding, sneaking, pickpocketing....okay theiving skills to. She is not a fight depending more on abilites of magic. She is a skilled illusionist and ventrilliquist. there are few she cannot mimic perfectly without magic, the others she just uses magic. Her kind has natural healing magic, but it is not something she fostered over the years and thus remains a weak ability. On the other hand, compunication with animals and such are also a good skill. she often uses small harmless creatures for simple tasks, that will nto bring them harm, like spying. As for weapons, she just shapechanges into whatever form would best suit her needs and use those natural abilities.
History: She was born in a small village deep in the forest. Her family cousins to the royal line. They had high hopes she would join the ranks of her royal family as a gaurd or investigator. From an early age she showed signs of excellent abilites in dealing with nature. Even the very nature of people and understand. Like her parrents she was not a violent person. They trained her as a ranger, to understand the forest and all its natural inhabitants. "Balance," her father once told her, "is only kept by understanding all sides." Upon her coming of age quest, she returned home to her village successful in her task, only to find them under attack. It was far too late for her to be able to save anyone, recognizing this she hid before being found. She watched her home being destroyed, as she recalled the rumors that other villages had disappeared in similar fashion. She memorized the faces and uniforms of those who did this atrosity. When they left, the continued to sqower the area, so she hid. And hid well. She now spends time watching people come and go. Her thirst for vengance is second only to her need to protect others from such a fate. She is intelligent and knows a way to stop all this and make things right will come along if she has patience.
Purpose / Goal: see history.

Auron smiled behind his glasses, "And here I thought it was going to be tricky." He concentrated as he inspected the beast, the brought his sword into a ready stance. When he moved his speed was quite impressive dispite his heavy sword. He made a series of slashes and jerks and neatly seperated the beast into four distinct rows. First the organs and such he'd let spill out the front, secondly the skeletal structure with gooey filaments still attached to it lay where the serpent had fallen, third he'd managed to slice all of the muscle and other edible meats, so that they fell off the back, and lastly the monster's skin and the deadly acid ducts lay in a neat pile tossed a little to the side. Auron then stood back to survey his work, obviously impressed with himself.
Raziel merely sneared in distaste at the display, revealing for a moment his vampiric fangs.

"Well that works for me." Andrea says cherfully, but mentally she snorts Showoff. "SO, now to package it all, i doubt we want to sit here and cook everything, the scavengers'll be here shortly, actually i'm srupprised there are none at the moment...actually, that's making me nervous...We should get back to the main road back to town, and then i can get my bounty."
OOC: Hmm, sounds pretty ominous don't it?

Leo watched his newfound friends with interest and seemed amused at no end when Torvelion sprinted off dodging pine-cones only to be rediscovered later under a pile of them 'Note to self...' Leo thought. 'Do not insult dieties of luck.'
