((Squire... I'm not the one with the Dark Aura... It was the other guy that left already... lol)) Aurak notices how many people were in here. Wondering if they didn't notice a big Dragon-Kin standing in the dining hall, an area usually holding humans and elves, now a Dragon-Kin has made a spot in the dining hall. So far, no-one seemed to mind his presense in the room. Looking around the room again, he was checking if there was a bigger chair for him. Though he didn't want to ask, simply put that normally bigger chairs equals higher rank, so he kept his mouth shut, waiting for someone to talk to him. If these other races dont mind a Dragon-Kin in their presence, I'm sure one of them would decide to step up and talk with me. He just stood there loosely, kind of relaxed. Though his hand is still hiding the photo behind his back.

(Sorry about jumping ahead.)
Deugaro had finally made his was to the kitchen with both his mind and the abbey intact, with a small bit of help from that man. "Blast it all.", He thought angrily. "I wont have enough time to finish the brew." He quickly searched for a decent sized kettle, amazingly making little noise whilst browsing through the pots and pans. The dark haired male found what he was looking for. "Dakoon." He murmured. A strong gust of wind blew through the kitchen and into the dining hall as an onyx shaded oval opened and within an instant Deugaro leapt through, leaving only a boot print and a few disturbed pots behind.
He appeared little more than five feet in the air, about a mile east from the abbey. "Now that I have some room I can release some of the taint." After a series of locking mechanisms the gauntlet fell off and struck the earth hard, leaving a small depression in the ground. His charcoal colored digits had little time to revel in the sunlight as they were quickly stabbed into the soft dirt. "I am sorry Earth..." Poisonous energy lanced out of his fingertips like burning stingers. However, the assassin would not scream as he had long ago learned to endure. So he watched the trees around him decay and collapse on themselves in agonizing silence.

Deugaro "My full name is Deugrashimbatekete... you can call me Deugaro.", He nodded his head once in his direction as a gesture of respect. As he was about to say more, there was a sudden flash of white before his eyes and the next thing he knew he was lying on the ground, his jaw agape. "Has the pain risen so far already?", He pondered from his uncomfortable position on the ground. "I absolutely must get the brew going or else this abbey is going to fall down on their heads!"He forced himself to his feet, his body protesting movement and worked his way towards where the kitchen was, using the chairs as a crutch. Sweat beaded on his brow from the pain before dripping into his line of sight, still he struggled forwards valiantly attempting to halt the corrosive process of his dark ability Dakoon. (Just a little help to everyone on pronounciation Deu-gra-shim-ba-te-ke-te) = @ @ = I would much rather have you wait if only for the fact it makes a backlog for me to get to. Yes, I do realize I haven't done much in the past few days, but that is due to the fact I've had little computer time to do them in. Anyways, lets get on with it. There wasn't much here to touch on fix wise. Only the fact that the word after a quote, should be lower case unless its the start of a new sentence. Otherwise great post. XD I'm a little less miffed that you posted only for the fact there wasn't much to fix here and thus I might have given you the freedom to post as you wish. We'll see after I check your next post. You might be the next one to be allowed to post freely. For now I am bumping you up another rank.
+1 Rank

TwoDou Van soon got impatient, so he decided to see the others that were gathered in the hall. Many were chatting, but two in particular caught his eye. One had collapsed as Van had entered he hall, making it possible for him to go unnoticed long enough to reach an empty chair. He was getting up and didn't look hurt though. He wondered what had happened to the other to cause such a random fall. Van continued to look around and then saw her, the one that had opened the gate for him earlier. Even though no one had said anything, he had a feeling that she knew exactly who was absent from the hall even in this chaotic mess. He had an uncomfortable feeling that she knew who was late and by how much they were late. Van shivered and decided to busy himself with other things. He pulled out the scroll and scanned the titles, "The power of Dark Magic", "History's Greatest Necromancers", "Contacting the Death Gods and Goddesses", this list went on and on. "Well that's creepy." Van muttered. He decided that looking round the hall was much preferable to looking over the scroll the mysterious old man had given him. ((I hope you're feeling better!)) Yes, I am. Thank you for saying that. Man, you guys are getting so good I only have to give you the minimal help now. Makes my life much easier. Its a good solid post. The only recurring problem you seem to have is using the word 'he' too much as the start of a sentence. Remember, you can move the word 'he' if you add 'ing' to whatever verb you happen to be using, then adding it after the action. Or you could have switched parts of the sentence, depending on how long your sentences where or if there was any description after your action. =<<= Thats about it.

Squireof the son (oh, sorry. A paladin is kind of hard to miss. Especially if you come from an abbey. And it doesn’t help if she’s attractive. I’ll check with you about any magic used before I make note. I keep up, my posts don't keep up. I can get on about one day a week. Sorry.) A dragon-like thing caught Liran’s eye. He was slowly working his way to the kitchen. He ran up to him and wrapped the guy’s arm around him. “Careful. You okay?” He reached his sleeve around and wiped of his sweat from his head. Liran started to notice a dark vibe emitting from the guy. “Dark magic?” He murmured. He looked around, and see if anyone else notice the vibe. He looked over at the lady from the gate to see what her response was to the struggling dragon and to see if she noticed any magic. Ah, yes yes, I know but theres a huge dragon thing in the room too. I figured you'd notice Mr. scaly first. XD As for you not being here, I realize that you're probably reading but not posting because of the time it takes to make a post. I just wanted to reign people in from posting and getting to far ahead of you and a few other people. Theres no harm no foul here so don't worry about a thing. :3
First of all, same old same old. Just as TwoDou was doing, you need to make sure that you don't over use the same word to begin a sentence, in this case "he". As Aeros noted, hes not the one with the dark aura, it was Deugaro, so just keep going from here as if you noticed the right person. Um, its a good solid post. Its a bit simplistic. You have a lot of short sentences in there. Perhaps some variety is in order for the next time, eh? Other than that, your grammar has become much much better.

Omirao Raoden spent time observing everyone in the dining hall, trying to discern what their abilities, srengths, and weaknesses could be. He wasn't getting much. Everybody was so different... There was even one who looked to be of a different race than he'd ever even HEARD of! He cleared his mind of the confusion he felt and began observing the room, searching for any exits or hiding places, should things go badly for him. Still he did his best to avoid notice. He felt like he was succeeding in that aspect, for no one seemed to be paying too much attention to him... I love this post of yours girl. It really brings out the flavor of your character and gives us an idea of the type of environment that he might have grown up in. XD There is some good reaction there to seeing new things that he hasn't ever seen before. Good sentence structure, interesting read. Class act post. One thing though.Quote: He cleared his mind of the confusion he felt and began observing the room... You might want to note that he's going back to looking around a second time in a way such as:Quote: He cleared his mind of the confusion he felt and began observing the room once more... Thats all, just a little change to make it clear he paused then went back to it. Otherwise it sounds kinda redundant because you used almost the same exact wording the first time. Observing the room could be seen as observing the people in the room as well. :3 Good job again and keep it up.

LadyFireCat (I don't actually know what I'm typing up there and I hope i got all the facts right....Oh yeah, and should I wait for my post to be evaluated before I post again?) No my dear, you are exempt. :3 You technically don't even have to come here anymore. You display excellent grammar, beautiful and creative wording and you have a character profile now. You're a graduate now and are free to run loose in any rp you wish to. XD

I don't think that in all my rping I've ever dealt with a dragon kin of any sort so when I go to make my next character post (sometime within the next day or two) I definitely and going to have to get creative with how I handle you. Okay, so there aren't tons of problems, but there are some.Quote: Wondering if they didn't notice a big Dragon-Kin standing in the dining hall, an area usually holding humans and elves, now a Dragon-Kin has made a spot in the dining hall. You tried to do something good here, but I believe it got out of control and you kinda just ended up mumbling. It might be though that you just couldn't find the right wording at the time and that is the option I'm going to stick with. This would have been a better way of going about it:Quote: He wonders if they didn't notice less space in the dining hall, an area usually reserved for humans and elven type creatures, now slightly cramped due to holding a Dragon-Kin who seemed to take up more than twice the space of anyone else. Not exactly the same as you had written, but I didn't know quite what else to do. I know what you were trying to say and it was rather difficult to put properly. Good job on the fact I was even able to understand it. = @ @ = This:Quote: Though he didn't want to ask, simply put that normally bigger chairs equals higher rank, so he kept his mouth shut, waiting for someone to talk to him. Is a good sentence. Its interesting and you've given up some information about how your character perceives things and thus perhaps how things where for him growing up. Last little picky thing, "stood" should be "stands". ;3 Nice post though. Very interesting.

Is it okay if I come back here every so often? What should I do about my character?) Being a graduate means I'm not grading you anymore. You are welcome to post freely because the only time Ill spend on your posts is perhaps a pm here or there if anything at all. :3 I don't mind at all if you post and help move things along. ::Laughs:: Its easy enough for me to just skip over your post though and go on to people who are currently getting taught. So please, don't worry. (Please also don't take what I said as anything bad. = @@ = I realized with how I worded it, that might be the case. I would love to have your around if you want to stay, but I also don't want to keep you here if other rps call to you. :3 )

Omirao ((Raoden wasn't observing the room the first time around. He was observing the people in it. 3nodding Also, after that last post he doesn't really have anythinng to do until the food is served or someone notices him.)) :3 Okay.
Attentions:
I will be posting soon! I just... um, brain fart? = o o = As some of you know I have been dinking around with my profiles and finally have united them under a main account. So you know. This is a side account! Specifically made to house this character and this character alone. My main gaian account is Cera Desither. :3 If you have any friendly chatter I would like you guys to send it that way. If you have rp questions they should still go to this one. Now I have to go work a bit D:

: biggrin rawing her hand across her forehead, Aniur brushed a strand of hair that had fallen back in place. The room had finally filled with those she had been expecting, at least for this day. There would be more eventually, but for now those who were currently and would be seated at the table were all that mattered.
Quietly, she stands. With a graceful movement, she raises the silver bell that had been sitting next to her plate eye level with those who are seated and gently rings it. Cooks appear in a flurry of activity from the door behind her. Each holds a plain, silver platter covered by a dome, hiding what is held by each individual. A last person comes out with some rather large, down stuffed pillows and approaches the dragon kin. She gives a small bow.::
“Preparations were made upon your arrival, but only just finished. We have no chairs to fit one of your size so goose down was gathered to make pillows so you might sit on the floor comfortably and be at the correct height to eat with the others.”
::With a small smile, the seamstress hands him the pillows, bows again and leaves the room. The cooks remain standing at attention, their hands well protected from the warm dishes by thick towels. Still standing and raising her hand once more, she gestures to the cooking staff.::
These people took the time out of their day to create for you. It is their passion, their art and their life. I asked you to not be late in order to show them the well deserved respect they have earned. Would you tell them to their face that you were late, thus perhaps ruining what they have put so much in to? Before we begin, anything, I will ask that you show your respect to them in whatever way you wish. You must do this though. It is your first lesson. Showing respect to even those viewed as quite low in society is vital. I believe the phrase “Treat others as you would wish to be treated.”, sums it up.
::The cooks quickly set the dishes down on the center of the table and then return to their spots in a line against the wall.::
