Ellis
“These aren’t sharp,” said Ellis. “And we’ll be going slowly. Like you said I’m better with a sword. That means you’re more likely to hurt me.”
Ottoline still looked reluctant.
Ellis sighed. He should have expected this.
“What are you going to do if a dragon gets close up?” Ellis demanded, “you won’t be able to shoot it, and a knife won’t be long enough to do any damage.”

“I could always stab it with my arrow,” her voice wavered.
Ellis held out the sword. “Take it,” he said through his teeth. She nodded, terrified. She picked it up, but her hands were shaking so bad that the sword clattered to the ground.
Ellis watched her struggle to grip the sword and cocked his head to the side. “Are you alright?”

I changed my mind about the villain I’m going to add. Instead of Vilsayor, I’m adding a character that I just created, called Zash.
Zash
Zash is basically a psychopath. He likes causing pain and has questionable mental stability.
He is tall (let’s say 6’3″), has wild black hair, and a single blue eye. His left eye socket is filled by a metal plate that wraps around to the side of his head and ends above his ear.
He wears a black cloak. Underneath it, he has a belt with six knives attached. He carries a sword on his back.
Zash is a Metal Bonder. All seven of his weapons are bonded to his will, and he can control them telekinetically. Metal Bonders use spiritual beings called wisps to link pieces of metal to their will. (Note: Metal Bonding is one of the magic systems that was used to create Conviction and Bloodsong. Both are technically wisps attached to swords, but wisps tend to identify themselves as the object they are attached to.) Most wisps are non-sentient, but Zash’s sword has a sentient wisp attached to it.
Alirai
Alirai is a sentient wisp used to bond Zash’s sword. She doesn’t necessarily approve of what Zash does, but she has little choice in the matter. She can interfere with his use of the sword she is bonded to, but she doesn’t do so frequently, because otherwise he would just get rid of her.

I’m not going to bother reading the 20 or so pages that have somehow appeared, so just correct anything I get wrong.
Snake
“Do you know how to use a bow?” Ellis asked.
“I’ve used one once. I was a dragonet, all alone in the world……” Snake explained. “I landed on a Viper ship by accident once. Boy, were they surprised to see me. I picked up a bow from there and used it for a little while.” He inspected the one in his hand. “Kinda looked like this one…but bigger.” He turned it over in his hands. Only problem is, these are a little small to be particularly useful in my talons.”
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
November 8, 2023 at 5:35 pm #163647That’s okay–this RP moves really quickly!
Do you want to introduce the area that the villains will arrive in? We could wait till after the current scenes are wrapped up, though.
@everyone
Who’s going to add a villain?

Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.
November 8, 2023 at 8:35 pm #163660Okay, I feel in the mood to write right now, so I’ll just do it.
@anyone @everyone and @someone
Gilgan
Rippling were the brooks. Loud were the bird’s twitterings. Great was the call of the elk. Towering were the tips of the fir trees. Majestic were the mountain peaks. Marbled were the clouds.
But doom was to fall on Gilgan, land of a thousand voices.
Dry are the brook’s paths. Silent, deadly silent are the birds. Gone is the call of the elk. Eerie still looms the sorrowing firs, shadows dance beneath their limbs, over their roots. A perilous beauty still is the prize of the mountains, for Time and Time alone can steal that from them. And so are the marbled clouds still of lustrous beauty.
What was the cause, the awful cause, of the fall of Gilgan?
People, almond-faced. People, pastel-eyed. People too weak to handle the strain, searching for the secret of Strength. Consumed were they in the tangles of the Dragon’s promise. Consumed were they and cursed. Black Sky breathed his dark breath into the nostrils of their King.
He sits in darkness now, his throne made of black stone. A dragon head is above his, carved with utmost skill, with rubies for eyes.
And the choice of the King and those who rallied to his call, has effected those who were innocent. Lillen is fair still, they long to cross the borders, but there is some strange thing that stops them. It seems, there is a wall, impassable, invisible. Only the King, it is said, and those he wills , or who Black Sky wills, for that is the truth, can pass.
Lament people Gilgan! Cry and weep! Your home turns to ashes bit by bit as the dragons will. Lament Gilganlings! Let tears fall at the memory of your home as it once was. Lament children of Gilgan! Be sad over your King, for he has no mind of his own anymore, he has surrendered to it the shadows. Lament, oh sister of Lillen! You were fair in the dawn, but now the sun sets and finds you a ruin.
One star is all that is left to your sky, one little hope. White is her hair, though she is young. Blushing her cheeks like that of a rose. Grey are her eyes like a morning’s fog. Promised was her life to Black Sky, but he has not taken her yet. Still is there one who can redeem this land of turning ash.
Search! Search oh sister! For in her heart of gold is your spark of hope, catch it in tinder and fan it tenderly, lest it turn grey and her life be forfeit with yours!
Koshtin
Dead seemed the eyes of King Koshtin. Alive with darkness and flame seemed his hands. Booming with the voice like that of a dragon he chanted his ugly spell.
Before him opened the black vortexes, out came the figures from different worlds. Out they came, ready to destroy.

Who is going to add a villain? (I know some of you have already said you aren’t, but I can’t remind who.) we kind of need to know before anyone RPs in this scene, since they’re all arriving at once.

📚 Appreciator of BooksNovember 8, 2023 at 9:14 pm #163668I said I wasn’t above… but I might’ve changed my mind since then XD
I have a new character I want to get to know better. I’m not sure if she would count as a ‘villain’, But she could probably be convinced to help the King, though no promises she wouldn’t ever defect to the heroes team lol.
Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.
November 8, 2023 at 9:15 pm #163669I think that would be fine. You only have one character anyway.
