Welcome to Gaia! ::

I had some reservations at first, but I might give this whole continuing-the-RP thing a try. Hopefully my writing and such have improved. I am so sorry.


Anyway, I don't really have any new plans. Just that one brief scenario that can be easily incorporated into the main story when... they were headed to the locations of the seals, right? Man, I need to review! Does anyone have a tl;dr version or recap? Actually, what if we made a recap thread to help us all remember?
To get back on topic, I wrote a little story section idea up a long while back and have been storing it on my profile page. I'll PM it to you again, along with any other plans I come up with. If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to send them my way.

Dang girl, you've been busy! this is awesome! xd

So I guess i'll come clean with Lilith's story arc since the more I think about it the more I realize it's like 'secret boss' territory

Lilith is on a mission to kill her father who became a Lich 12 years before the RP. He had tried to sacrifice all of the mages in the village of Magus (including Lilith), but failed thanks to Lilith's mother, who is now physically disabled due to the encounter.

He wants to turn the world into a new Niflheim.

I want to somehow include the Devil's Arms in it but I haven't figured out yet. Maybe you guys can figure something out. xd

Also here's a nifty description of a Lich: "A mage becomes a lich by means of necromancy, using a magical receptacle called a Phylactery to store the lich's soul. Unlike most other forms of undead creatures, the Lich retains all of the memories, personality, and abilities that it possessed in life — but it has a virtual eternity to hone its skills and inevitably becomes very powerful. Like other powerful forms of undead, a Lich has unnatural powers owing to its state, and can, through its typically powerful magical spells, summon other lesser undead to protect it. A Lich's bones do not decay. The Lich is capable of sustaining tremendous physical damage, and is immune to disease, poison, fatigue and other effects that affect only the living. However, despite all its undead "gifts", a lich's most valuable resources are its vast intellect, its supreme mastery of sorcery and limitless time to research, plot and scheme.

Since a lich's soul is mystically tied to its phylactery, destroying its body will not kill it. Thus the only way to permanently destroy a lich is to destroy the phylactery. Therefore, the lich will generally be extremely protective of the priceless item. The phylactery, which can be of virtually any form (but it usually appears as a valuable amulet or gemstone), will often be hidden in a secret place and protected by powerful spells, charms, monsters and/or other servants; the phylactery itself is usually of magical nature, meaning its destruction will generally be no easier than obtaining it."

Hmm. My memory's really fuzzy on what happened to the Devil's Arms after the Abyssion fight. I mean, gameplay-wise, you're allowed to continue using them, but what would the canon cast have done with them? Try to destroy them? Seal them away because they're weapons of evil?

Maybe Lilith's father could repurpose the Devil's Arms into being the key to destroying the seal on Niflheim at the Otherworldly Gate? In which case, since we're whittling down the number of party members and active roles, I ought to rewrite Richter's bio as still standing guard down there. If it'll fit, the final fight with Lilith's father could take place down there with Richter joining in just for that. xd

Ok so re-reading through our previous posts I didn't realize Kratos was already off Derris Kharlon; for some reason I though he was still up there. rofl

and the fact that I haven't brought the other Aselia knights into the rp yet is a bit troubling

though I finally decided to bring Christopher into it. sweatdrop

Oh whoops....those posts are still there? Since the point of meeting Kratos is actually far off yet, I was thinking of changing my plan and making a throwback to the old OLD original run of New Tomorrow...you remember, where the Midgardian invaders tethered Derris-Kharlan to Aselia using the World Tree and that was when Kratos came in? Only they'd use something different this time because the World Tree would be heavily guarded. xd

Did you have something else in mind regarding Kratos? surprised

And that's something kinda troubling me too. XD;; The Aselia Knights are important, and yet....I have no idea what to do with them either! lol

Ooh! Wow, I'll see what can be done about that...he's pretty much around his grandma's territory. ;P Are you trying to have him find his way to the group already?

Ah well maybe we can figure something out so it works for both characters story arc's. 3nodding

Yeah, Midgard scientists are looking for him, since he's an escaped subject and they don't want their plans to be revealed.
