				Culture Shock IC (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=91280.0)<br>If interested please post here: Culture Shock: interest check (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=91016.msg3978121#msg3978121)<br>Character thread is up, here is the link Culture Shock Characters (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=91546.0)<br><br>Type: Fantasy<br><br>The story is a simple one there is no great goal to achieve nor object to find, this is not a story of vengeance, it is not necessarily a romance, but it may have aspects of all at some point. This will be a story of how lives are changed and how people make the best of their situation.<br><br>Through an act of a deity, or a powerful alien race, or simply a random act of the unknown nature of magic, a small mid-west USA town and a chunk land in a ten mile diameter sphere is exchanged with an equal size piece of wilderness in an alternate universe, a fantasy universe. The land that travels to our tech world is just wilderness and very few special creatures were caught in the exchange. This story is about the American citizens that suddenly find themselves in a world very different than most of them every thought might have existed any where other than dreams. Or about the locals of the new world and how they react to this new town of humans.<br><br>The standard rules for RPs apply, which I should not have to repeat. Any major plot twists and changes must be approved by me, small individual fights are okay, but all large scale battles have to be cleared through me and maybe even with other RPers as well.<br><br>All fantasy races and creatures will exist, but characters most be of the mortal type, no demons, no angels, no dragons. Werewolves and vampires will need special approval and a very good reason why I should let you play such a character. Everybody from the town is of course human.<br><br>In the fantasy world each race has their own language, but there is a common trade language used by all to allow communication between the races. The humans from the town will speak English, and perhaps whatever other languages from earth, but there is nothing like the languages of the fantasy world, even the common language is very different from modern English. Part of the difficulty will be learning to communicate. Some magics or abilities will help but in most cases will only be short term as the magic will fade.<br><br><br>There are humans in the fantasy world, actually humans are the most abundant of the races, and tend to only speak the common trade language and have thus forced the other races to learn it if they wish to interact with the humans, which is almost completely necessary to survive anywhere outside of their own small kingdoms.<br><br>I will add more later as it becomes more clear to me. It will include some basic rules for magic and tech.<br><br>Full BIOs will not be required, but a brief description and racial info will be required, with perhaps some private discussion of abilities. I will be running 2 main characters one from the transplanted town and one from the fantasy realm. I don't require RPers to have more than one character, but if you can handle them, be my guest to do so.<br><br>Characters can be from either the town or the fantasy realm, if you choose to run 2 characters you do not have to have one of each.<br><br>My main char from the town of Haddersville originally somewhere in the midwest USA.<br><br>Sergeant Kyle Flanagin USA Army Ranger is in his mid 20’s. He is home visiting his parents for a three week leave from a tour of duty in Iraq. There is a look of pain and death in his emerald green eyes, it is that look only modern warfare can put in a veteran’s eyes. He has seen men under his command die, and he has killed an uncounted number of enemies. His short military cropped red hair almost looks as if his tanned face has a small fire burning above it. At 6’2” and 207lbs he has the physique of a man who depends on his physical abilities as well as his wits to survive in very demanding conditions, his muscles aren’t large and bulky but well defined and visibly powerful. He moves with the grace of a large cat, always alert to possible danger. He is proud to serve his country, and will proudly display his many medals, including his Purple Heart, which he received for being injured while serving earlier in the campaign to free Iraq. His face has that rugged look of a man more comfortable outdoors then in, and the look of someone who has spent a lot of hours under a desert sun. He is not what he would consider handsome, but neither is he ugly.<br><br>(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/elfh4.jpg)<br><br>My character from the fantasy world:<br><br>Tiagar Strytaimos is an elven ranger / mage. He spends most of his time wondering alone in the wilderness, helping travelers, or fighting bandits or other evils that threaten to destroy the forests. He stands 5’9” and weights 128 lbs. He carries an elven longbow, and enchanted elven made long sword. He wears dark brown enchanted leather boots, with his forest green leggings tucked into them just below his knees. His dark blue simple pull on shirt hangs to the top of his legs and is pulled in at his waist by the dark purple sash running around him holding many small pouches and dagger. Unseen under the shirt is every little weight and virtually silent, but stronger than heavier human steel, is elven chain mail armor. The longbow rarely leaves his hand, with a quiver arrows hanging from a shoulder strap at his left hip. Over his right shoulder on his back can be seen the hilt of his long sword. Over all this he wears a dark green almost black elven cloak. His hair is shoulder length black with some wave to it and is left loose usually wind swept. His eyes are like the purest amethyst crystal.<br>(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/elfm2.jpg)

				<strong>Chloe Locke</strong> (28)<br><br>Formerly a special operations soldier, Chloe was recruited to the Special Activities Division of the CIA. She joined the Special Operations Group, and only recently returned home. Her work affords her no official medals or commendations beyond those she already had, and her work is highly classified. She is in excellent physical condition, though she does not appear as well muscled as she is. She keeps her blonde hair short, though it is no longer as short as it once was, as her job is no longer quite as clean-cut as her military career. Her parents are gone, and she has two estranged siblings, both of which live in Washington, after attending school there. She returned to her family home for her leave, though she was preparing to return before the incident.

Six years later, she is on her way back to Washington D.C. to report back after having just completed her latest assignment.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Socioeconomic Class/Standing</strong></span><br><br>* <strong>Class</strong>: Secret CIA Covert Ops Agent and Assassin<br><br>* <strong>Religion</strong>: Athiest<br><br>* <strong>Place of Birth</strong>: Washington D.C.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Inventory</strong></span><br><br>* <strong>Weapons</strong>: Again… What weapons doesn’t she have?

The top is gathered on her right shoulder and ribbons hang down and flow from here. The dress is fitting until the hips where it flows out freely with a plethora of fabric. The skirt section is slit from mid hip to the ground. On her feet she wears purple slippers that criss-cross up her leg and tie below her knee in the back. Encircling her waist is black leather and metal belt that sags lower on her left hip as her sword and its holster is attached on that side.<br>- <span class="bbc_u">Jewelry</span>: A pliant silver band in a Celtic knot design rests on her head with amethyst jewels dispersed throughout. A single amethyst dangles from the middle on her forehead. Her necklace resembles the band on her head but ends at the middle of her chest - an amethyst dangles from here as well. She bears a curly silver armband on her left upper arm and a delicate bracelet on her right lower arm, this resembling the necklace and head band. A silver ring comes to a point like a teardrop around an amethyst on her right ring finger. From her ears dangle many silver strands of different lengths, each with a small amethyst attached to its end.<br><br>* <strong>Race</strong>: Zenythri<br><br>* <strong>Race Description</strong>: Zenythris are often viewed as contemplative beings who strive for personal perfection in every action they take. Many feel the need to impose their own brand of order on the world about them. Some even travel to lawless regions for the express purpose of creating order there. From a zenythri’s viewpoint, such exercises serve to illuminate the underlying purpose and structure that lies dormant in all things.<br><br>A zenythri appears as a perfect version of a human. Its skin is flawlessly smooth, and its muscles are well defined and taut. Even its hair falls effortlessly into place around its handsomely chiseled face. A zenythri could almost blend unnoticed among humans were it not for the slightly blue or purple tint of its skin and hair.<br><br>Most zenythris feel compelled to contribute to the societies in which they dwell. As such, they actively work toward positions of responsibility, which often bring with them significant social status. Zenythris are natural leaders and consummate strategists, and they gladly accept leadership roles. These planetouched seem to have no interest in good or evil so long as they accomplish their goals. Such a disposition lends itself as readily to tyrannical methods as benign ones.<br><br>Zenythris fight instinctively, sizing up opponents for strengths and weaknessess during melee. They relish executing difficult combat maneuvers and work hard to develop complex fighting styles.<br><br>* <strong>Physical Abilities/Limitations</strong>: Wonderful ability to see in the dark. Exceptional survival, strength, dexterity, wisdom, and communication skills. A bit of a loner.<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background</strong></span><br><br>When the Zenythris first heard of this land there were many various humble villages scattered without. Together they formed a government of sorts, laying out legal rules and laws. This is how Viviana’s dad became Lord. He met and married Viviana’s mother who, in turn, had baby Viviana. She is an only child with no siblings to keep her company and therefore has developed into quite an independent, yet introverted young woman.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Socioeconomic Class/Standing</strong></span><br><br>* <strong>Class</strong>: Nobility<br><br>* <strong>Religion</strong>: Agnostic<br><br>* <strong>Place of Birth</strong>: Cerulean Depths<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Inventory</strong></span><br><br>* <strong>Weapons</strong>: A fatal scimitar. The long thin blade is slightly curved and engraved with intricate celtic knotwork. The hilt is engraved with the same knotwork, yet is tarnished. The scimitar rests in a black leather holster.

				Im borrowing your format Narianna<br><br>Basic Attributes<br><br>* Given Name: Zelith Nafa'rin <br><br>* Gender: Male<br><br>* Appearance:<br>- Age: appears to be in his mid 20's is really 370 years old. Average lifespan of an elf 1000 years<br>- Height: 5’ 7”<br>- Weight: 160 Lbs.<br>- Hair Color/Style: Black shoulder length <br>- Eye Color:Blue<br>- Clothing: Robes of deep violet and blue with electrum trims <br>- Jewelry: wears rings, bracelets, and amulets each items he wears hold a power of it's own<br><br>* Race: Elf (moon elf)<br><br>* Race Description: <br>While at first they may seem aloof and arrogant, a glimmer of true self can be learned with a little effort. High elves know the value of friendship and alliance with the other good races of the world. However, they are not always easily befriended. Many high elves are cautious about trusting the shorter-lived races; quite a few learned to distrust humans and dwarves in their younger days. Thus, although high elves serve the cause of good, one can never be sure of what the reception from them will be.<br><br>High elves are very pale. Though they spend a great deal of time outdoors, their skin simply doesn't tan, no matter how long they are in the sun. However, their skin is less a corpselike pallor than the color of new cream. Their hair and eyes fall into two major variations. One is fair not only of skin, but of hair as well. These elves generally have blond hair and blue eyes. The other variation, equally numerous, seems far more mysterious. They have dark hair, ranging from sandy brown to sheerest black, and intense green eyes. These two varieties of high elves have no other significant differences, but they are nonetheless often treated differently simply because of their appearance.<br><br>High elves prefer light pastel shades over the colors worn by grey elves. Since they rely on hunting and woodsmanship, they often wear cloaks of green for camouflage in forests.<br><br>Their preferred weapon is the bow, but they are also adept with long and short swords. In battle, they wear their gleaming elven chain mail beneath cloaks "woven of the essence of the woods," which allows them to move silently through forests, strike quickly, and then retreat. Although they may befriend giant eagles and occasionally use them for transport, they rarely use mounts because horses and the like are too unwieldy in the forest. Only on the long-distance journeys or on the plains will high elves use mounts.<br><br>High elf civilization is much like that rumored in children's fairy tales. Elven homes are enchanted, the lands under their jurisdiction places of goodness. The realms of high elves are fabled in the lands of men, and the highest aspiration of many a human is to slip into the arms of death while basking in the serenity of the elf lands.<br><br>These elves do not place a great deal of value on society, preferring instead to live as they wish rather than how someone tells them to. Their villages are peaceful places, for the elves all look out for one another. They have a royal bloodline of sorts, but few elves pay it much heed. They do not respect someone purely on the basis of birth.<br><br>High elves live in a constant relationship with nature, never taking more than they need and giving back ever more. They replenish the forests and the plains constantly, ensuring that there will always be nature within their world. As such, they are often regarded by other good-aligned races as the highest epitome of goodness. Although those who prefer law over freedom do not always agree, they nearly always have respect for the quality of elven life. There is no doubt that the high elves lead a fine life: Freedom, nature, and the sheer vitality of being alive comprise the daily existence of a high elf.<br><br>These elves have few cares or worries, and their lives are often characterized by idyllic splendor. While they face problems from rampaging humanoids or the encroachment of humans, they seem to live free of the cares that so often plague other elves. Because they live so closely in harmony with nature, they have little trouble finding sustenance in the areas near their homes. Game proliferates near high elf communities, and the earth is fertile for them. However, should the high elves roam farther afield, they often discover a different matter entirely. A band of elves on the march must sometimes rely upon the generosity of others. <br>* Physical Abilities/Limitations:Zelith may be powerful and long lived but he is far from immortal<br><br>Background<br>Zleith nafa'rin was born to a lower noble house. from his youth he showed a great aptitude for the arcane. It was no suprise to his family and to the houses whom were friends with his that he would become a wizard.&nbsp; his first 60 years were spent learning much about the arcane. Zelith spend much of his life in both adventure and the pursuit of more knowledge. <br><br>In his travels he has slain dragons bent of destroying villages, slains beholders, trolls, the undead, and even taken on the occasional demon. All his travels have given him a number of treasures and powerful magics. It was from the beholders he learned the spell to create the magical black stone that it used in the building of his tower. <br><br>After a life of adventure spanning three centuries Zelith has settled take claim to ancestral lands and building his tower while leaveing the rest to remain a forest.<br><br>He occasionally visits with the lord of the land to offer his services in an advisory status but in generally remains in his tower. Sequestered from the outside world but watching it none the less.<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Socioeconomic Class/Standing<br><br>* Class: Upper class<br><br>* Religion: pays respect to the gods of magic as often as he sees fit.<br><br>* Place of Birth: Cerulean Depths<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Inventory<br><br>* Weapons:Zelith's tower houses many weapons some made, some won, some found. The most notable is also the least suspected a wooden sword enchanted by zelith to be as strong as steel and as sharp as they come. <br>Wands: Zelith carries wands like a theif carries knives. of note he had in his possession but not always with him<br>Fireballs<br>Polymorph other (usually it's something harmless like a cricket)<br>Of magic missiles<br>Of black stone<br><br>Spells of note<br>Wall of Black stone (used in the crafting of his tower.<br>Blood Lightning( a spell that Zelith casts on himself)<br>

Being called demons isn't strictly true but practically is considering their influence on people. Most of her kin have considerable magical abilities in one specialty area which is not typically culturally acceptable by most societies. Such powers range from possession, war or in Depheree's case perversion.<br><br>With extended rituals that span one or two days this devilkin can change the bodies of those she magics in extreme ways no sane person could consider helpful, something this devilkin takes great joy and pride in doing. Results can vary from women with cow-like udders or many sets of breasts or privates, males with several penises or a mix match of male or female sexual organs of strange kinds in places which take Depherees interest.Aalthough extra legs can be formed in this way typically any ritualistic change will likely appeal to the raw physical pleasure of those directly effected and exotic tastes of others but usually at an extreme detriment of practicality. <br><br>Ritual changes aside Depheree takes delight in encouraging forbidden pregnancies for she takes delight in witnessing the social awkwardness which follows.<br><br>Although most devilkin have powers of changing form to hide attributes which identifies them as such, or even powers in warfare to defend against those wishing to rid the world of them, Depheree has none, for all of her magical powers is channeled to her remarkable ritualistic abilities. All of Devilkin though have an innate luck, especially concerning betting or gambling of any kind.<br><br>Such luck does extend to self-preservation but not as easily for fights they themselves provoke.<br><br><strong>Power and influence</strong><br><br><div align="center"><strong>Hrya</strong></div><br><div align="center">(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MR-I1GuR6pU/Szu7Riz7VTI/AAAAAAAAFCk/OUNpttTpdSw/S1600-R/LGschl_portrait.JPG)</div><br>Recently Depheree and her followers (less than a hundred) stumbled upon the deserted ruins of Hyra which they now occupy and have partially restored. Hyra is reasonably difficult to find being deep in woods who's roads have long since grown over, but the river passing thought it is wide enough to manage all but the largest of sailing ships. It has been a handful of years since is its re-occupation and the village has reached a point of being self-sufficient, but does not have the people-power to create trade such that wealth can be accumulated.<br>

Mostly it protects from lower level elemental magics, but it is also lighter than normal to help in her lightning quick attacks and reflexes.<br>- Jewelry: Other than a necklace of a unicorn's head made of silver around her neck, Giselle has a small metal stud in her bellybutton that her folks don't have a clue about and she plans to keep it that way.<br><br>* Race: Drow/Light elf halfbreed.&nbsp; (Drow is the equivalent of Dark Elf in common.)<br><br>* Physical Abilities/Limitations: Giselle is like most Drow in her abilities only.&nbsp; She's able to see in the darkest of shadows due to her dark vision, able to see in the infrared spectrum, and able to use the natural innate spells that come with being such a dark skinned creature of the Underdark.&nbsp; Able to drop globes of darkness upon command that NO level of sight enhancements or light can penetrate, able to light harmless faerie fire upon a target, making it easier to see and target, and while she can't do it like her kin, most Drow are able to levitate at will.&nbsp; Thankfully they have spells to do the same thing, and so much more is in her considerable arsenal thanks to training with some of the best and most powerful of wizards.&nbsp; However, her eyes are light sensitive, and while not to such a degree as her full blooded father, staring into a bright light for too long or a sudden flash will blind her and disorient her.<br><br>Still, the other half, her light elf half provides with a natural love for the woods and forests that dot Faerun's landscape, and whether it is because she is part light elf or because of her father's teachings, she has a gift with animals of all kinds much like the ranger before her.&nbsp; Wood craft and surviving out in the wilds is easy for her now, though at first she did have trouble like any kid growing up.&nbsp; (Thank the gods for family connections and good friends lol.)<br><br>Background;&nbsp; Giselle Do'Urden is a chip off the old Do'Urden block, as Bruenor might say if asked.&nbsp; She is honorable, stoic, fast as greased lightning, and has a heart of gold that shines no matter the darkness.&nbsp; Still, she is fierce in battle and not one to ever give up, no matter the odds, much like a stubborn dwarven king she knows.&nbsp; Despite the color of her skin and the hardships it has brought in the past, the halfbred warrior of many battles already doesn't let it slow her down in her drive to see peace brought to any and all lands she visits if war is on the horizon or there are monsters that need slaying before they cause harm to untold innocents.&nbsp; Her beauty and grace as well as her deadly precision with a blade has earned Giselle the nickname Black Rose because much like a real rose, she has her own thorns that usually come in the form of her deadly whirling scimitar blades she received from her father a hundred and fifty years ago.&nbsp; Along with her two older brothers, (by a year since they are twins,) Giselle carves a name for herself, earning her own place in Toril's history as a heroine for the ages.&nbsp; As it has been said before, she's a chip off the old block.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Socioeconomic Class/Standing<br><br>* Class: Ranger/Spellcaster.&nbsp; (I say Spellsinger but eh lol.)<br><br>* Religion: Follower of Meilikki, goddess of the forests.&nbsp; (Among other things, too tired to go and look at the moment lol.))<br><br>* Place of Birth: Continent of Faerun within the Plane of Existence of Toril.&nbsp; Home town is, or rather underground fortress/community is Mithral Hall, home of the Battlehammer Clan.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Inventory<br><br>* Weapons: Icingdeath and Twinkle, both inherited from her father.&nbsp; Icingdeath is a powerful fire absorbing weapon, able to take the bite out of even the mightiest of flames, enchanted or otherwise.&nbsp; Twinkle glows brightly when the wielder is close to danger from enemies, and is far sharper than it appears due to elven enchantments cast upon it during a full moon.&nbsp; She carries a dozen throwing knives on her person at all times as well, tucked into various hiding spots on her person.&nbsp; Also uses an elven bow that she's able to enchant on the fly if the need arises, though she normally fires them as they are.<br><br>* Misc;&nbsp; The halfbreed warrior carries a heavy pack wherever she goes, full of gear to meet with any and all possible wilderness situations she might contend with.&nbsp; Heavy gloves, clothes, and the like for winter.&nbsp; Dried rations and bait for hunting and fishing as well as the necessary equipment to match, and medical supplies in the shape of herbs, balms, and the like as well as spells she has picked up over the years because one just never knows when a slip down a mountain might occur.&nbsp; (Happened once, and quick thinking saved her life in more ways than one.)

				Question: In this fantasy world, what are friend and what are foe? Are Drow something that is commonplace or are they to be feared and mistrusted like in the books? What are the races that are generally feared and mistrusted?

				Vergil, looks good.<br><br>Naria, it's pretty standard if generic fantasy. Things that most stories that are feared, hated, or simply distrusted will stand true here as well. Drows are quite rare and tend be primarily evil, so of course anybody who knows about them will certainly not trust them at first. I know we should not be prejudice, but people are.

				<strong>Name: <em>Marcus McLone&nbsp; a.k.a. The Hammer, Big Mick.</em><br>Race: <em>Human</em><br>Gender: <em>Male</em></strong><br><br><strong>(MARCUS: Before the bar fights when he was arrested for assault 6 years ago.)</strong><br>(http://comps.fotosearch.com/comp/SDA/SDA501/torso-long-hair_~stsc00001.jpg)<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Appearance:</strong></span><br><strong>Height</strong>: 6'9"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 289 lbs.<br><strong>Hair:</strong> Shoulder length, usually in a braid down the back, and is a deep brown with red tint to it. <br><strong>Eyes:</strong> Narrow and often haunting, a deep shade of green with amber around the pupil.<br><strong>Body Type:</strong> Marcus stands very tall for his Irish blood, and holds a body that is both powerful and defined. His strengths comes from his hard work ethic and fight training.<br><strong>Clothing:</strong> While at work Marcus keeps himself in a denim jumpsuit, usually with rolled up sleeves, over a wife beater and a pair of gym shorts. He always wears his Patten black leather combat boots, usually shined in a dull way and his pant legs to his jumpsuit always are tucked into his boots. When in regular clothes he usually dresses in a pair of low rise destroyed denim jeans, nothing underneath as usual, with a loose fitting short sleeve shirt or a form fitting thermal long sleeve. He never leaves his home without his .357 magnum tucked in the back of his pants. He works as a mechanic, the job is dangerous.<br><strong>Distinguishing marks:</strong> Scarring over his right pec from just under the collar bone, it is in a stab like pattern, sixteen marks erratically over his large still well toned pec. Received after a bar fight that he was in, the men around the bar placed bets as the fight began, winner would get a cut of the action. After sixteen stab woulds from a 4 inch blade Marcus spun the blade around and used the attackers weight to drive the blade through his sternum and into his heart. Marcus also has a tattoo over his left side of his abs from under his left pec down to just to the side of his groin, a large and somewhat stretched long Celtic Cross.<br><br><strong>Physical Abilities/Limitations:</strong><br>Physically superior than most men both in height and power, rather quick for a large man, and his stamina is his best asset. He could run three miles at his 75% speed and still have enough energy to have a fist fight once he got there. He was injured badly in a bar fight scarring up his chest, although his did not do anything to his lungs, which the doctors were shocked by, but made his right punch shorter. In the sense that he cannot fully extend his right arm in a fight unless he wanted to dislocate his shoulder.<br><br><em><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Socioeconomic Class/Standing</strong></span></em><br><br>* Class: Mechanic, fighter, bouncer, danger junkie.<br><br>* Religion: Catholic<br><br>* Place of Birth: South Boston, MA.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Weapons:</strong></span><br>Twin brass knuckles, an Infidel switchblade, .357 magnum with seven rounds capable not six, and a whole lot of insanity with loving a good fight.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Misc:</strong></span><br>A 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500 painted a jet black, A weeks worth of clothes in his trunk, plenty of ammo and speed loaders, a pound of weed he wasn't able to deliver before this happen, two cartons of Marlboro reds, a zippo lighter, a pair of shades, two things of shoe polish and two shoe rags.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Background:</strong></span><br><br>Marcus grew up in the mean streets of southie Boston and then moved to a piece of nothing and got a job, trying to escape the prices on his head back home. Keeping up his illegal activities where he could and fighting at the local bar for extra cash. The job just let him smuggle drugs and other such illegals as guns into the place.<br>

				I do Elf, she means that we should have our profiles on a separate page much like this OOC is separate from the IC.&nbsp; That way we can easily reference our profiles and adjust them quickly if the need arises.

				Marcoth, I have two issues with your post.<br><br>First is: Kyle is in his mid 20's, and due to years in the dessert looks some what older. So he is most definitely not a kid or a boy. Admittedly only being 6'2" he is smaller than 6'9".<br><br>Second and most important: The way I learned to Roleplay, is you cannot write into your post that any attack you make against another PC automatically hits unless you prearrange it the character's owner. Kyle is a combat veteran and Marcus' arrival with gun draw has put him at full combat readiness. Unless Marcus has inhuman speed, it would be virtually impossible for the attack to have gone the way you wrote it.

				Forgive my assumtions like that, I didn't mean to offend, but combat trained and barfight/street trained can equal the same thing. Considering that the basics of marine corps martial arts is ground fighting and hand to hand with viscious injuring strikes quickly so that the fight ends in 30 seconds, which is basically what Marcus did. I am sure that it was perhaps not understood and I apologize, do let me know if you would still like to change it.

Kyle is an Army ranger and would have had similar training and thus would recognized it for what it is as launched. Considering how they were positioned to each other it have easy for Kyle to dodge the elbow strike, therefore keeping fully aware and able to avoid the kick also.

				Alright, here's a rough draft.<br><br>(http://www.havensstudios.com/sketchblog/uploaded_images/satyr_tat-740246.jpg)<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Basic Attributes</strong></span><br><br>* <strong>Given Name:</strong> Oren<br><br>* <strong>Nicknames:</strong> The Paladin of Freedom, The Piper of Norwyn<br><br>* <strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><br>* <strong>Appearance:</strong><br>- <span class="bbc_u">Age:</span> 117 (Physical Equivalent of low-to-mid 20's)<br>- <span class="bbc_u">Height:</span> 5’ 10”<br>- <span class="bbc_u">Weight:</span> Approximately 170 pounds<br>- <span class="bbc_u">Hair Color/Style:</span> Brown and long, tied back but otherwise mostly unkempt.<br>- <span class="bbc_u">Eye Color:</span> Ivy Green<br>- <span class="bbc_u">Clothing:</span> Varies but usually minimalist. Has been known to dress up to full studded leather armor that shows signs of being enchanted but only when the situation needs it. Has winter clothes of basic linens and leathers but only breaks them out when it's particularly cold, mostly relying on a heavy cloak made of skins for warmth. On his own in the forest he's been known to go nude, adding a light cloak and maybe a loin cloth when near towns and roads- just in case. He doesn't have much of a nudity taboo but he recognizes that he's the exception and not the rule in this.<br>- <span class="bbc_u">Jewelry:</span> Not one prone to flashier examples of this, he does have various pieces. Worn for their magical properties instead of style, he usually has a couple rings, a bracelet, and an amulet on at any given time. Mostly just minor charms and protection magical effects.<br><br>* <strong>Race:</strong> Piper<br><br>* <strong>Race Description:</strong> Pipers are a fairly rare people, which surprises many given their parentage. Biologically, a Piper is the product of an elven mother and a satyr father- which in itself isn't that odd. Satyrs are notorious for their promiscuity and many of the less civilized people believe that satyrs can be considered minor spirits of male sexuality and fertility- and as such can impregnate anything that lives and has a vagina. However, impregnating a woman and the offspring being viable are two very different things. With the exception of Nymphs, it's believed that the vast majority of all results of Satyrs impregnating females of other races results in a miscarriage- usually before the female even realizes she's with child or begins to show. A convenient excuse, as it's just as likely that Satyr's aren't as fertile as believed.<br><br>Some, but not all. A Piper is what results of an Elven woman manages to bring the pregnancy from a Satyr to term. Above is a nude sketch of Oren -with his small tail greatly exaggerated by the artist- who physically is rather typical of a male his race. In male Pipers many Satyr features are carried over but are less pronounced. The legs are still incredibly hairy though much less then their father's for example. Cloven hooves are still present, horns are still present but usually small enough to be hidden among their head hair. The facial bone structure tends to be Satyr-like though the elven skin influence softens it somewhat. Female Pipers tend to take more for Nymphs then Satyrs but there's a similar theme of lesser versions of Nymph features being ever present.<br><br>As for social attitudes Pipers tend to be wild, nature loving, and promiscuous but not to the level of their fathers. Usually viewed as wild hedonists with no respect for law and order, this attitude tends to be in the correct direction if not so extreme. Usually their relations to other races tends to be set by the race's attitudes toward law and order, the more easy going the race the better they interact with Pipers. Sadly, Pipers are hybrids or "crossblood" as the term in the fantasy realm tends to be. As such there is no record of a female Piper ever becoming pregnant without magical help and while records of male Pipers getting females pregnant naturally do exist they are very, very rare and they need magical help to have children as well. Rumor also has it that there has never been a Piper that wasn't "gifted" for their respective gender but it may just be a rumor. The rumor that a Piper can use music as a focus for magic on the other hand is quite true.<br><br>* <strong>Physical Abilities/Limitations:</strong> Being of the Bardic Tradition, Oren is more of a Jack of All Trades. There's very few things he does at an incredibly good level. He's said to think very well on his feet, have a silver tongue, and according to saucier rumors he's excellent in the sack- but that's it. However, being of the Bardic Tradition, there is a wide variety of skills and abilities in which while he's not great at he is still considered at least pretty good. Swordplay, picking locks, thievery, crafting, the casting of spells both arcane and divine, rudimentary engineering and magical theory, et cetera. Like all Pipers, Oren can get a quick boost to his magical potency if he uses music as a focus.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background</strong></span><br><br>Oren had wondered why he didn't have a daddy growing up- the closest thing being "Uncle Crag", a satyr from the woods that visited him and his mommy frequently but would just as frequently be gone for weeks at a time. It wasn't until he was the equivalent of a teenager that he really put two and two together, that "Uncle Crag" was his biological father. It's not like "Uncle Crag" didn't want to be there for his son, it's just that he couldn't do it. The famous Satyr attention span and lifestyle just took him away from Oren to long and to unannounced to really make him a decent father. Fortunately Oren's mother Aurillee recognized this and when Oren was old enough to understand she made it clear that while her and Crag like each other and find each other attractive, they both figure putting Oren through a loveless marriage would do more damage then good to their family.<br><br>Of course, when Oren was just about to come to adulthood local fire-and-brimstone preachers didn't see it that way- and in the names of gods none of them worshiped they began a campaign of terror and oppression against all things they considered immoral. And thus began the career of Oren, the Paladin of Freedom. The years of adventuring spread forth the legend of the Piper who fights for freedom and liberty in for all people, a true champion for the common good. Of course, legends of his volcanic sex drive and eye for the ladies usually follows the stories of his heroism fairly closely. Granted, Oren being the son of a satyr this isn't exactly a surprise. Fortunately for populations around him, being a crossbreed of a satyr and an elf means he can't father children without magical help.<br><br>Currently returning to his forest roots to take a break from the adventuring like, the shift of something magic and large happening in these woods has got him curious. Strange how the grass changes collar in an almost straight line in this field. . .<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Socioeconomic Class/Standing</span></strong><br><br>* <strong>Class:</strong> Bard<br><br>* <strong>Religion:</strong> Considers himself a worshipper of Alia, Goddess of Art, Hope, and Freedom.<br><br>* <strong>Place of Birth:</strong> The Forests of Norwyn<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Inventory</strong></span><br><br>* <strong>Weapons:</strong> While jokes about his manhood have been brought up when asked a question like this, Oren's true inventory as flexible. A short sword for living opponents, a light mace for undead opponents, a small crossbow for range, and some Pan pipes and holy symbols to help with magic.<br><br>* <strong>Misc:</strong> Armor, more clothes though not many, some musical instruments, a sketchbook, and some basic survival gear. Does have a fair bit of gold stored in a money pouch and carries it all in a magic backpack that is larger on the inside then on the outside.<br>

				I read cool!<br>oh I've also been creating a divine spell tree for Aubert, since he's the only holy character.<br>there are schools of divine just like arcane. Many Clerics can go to a Theologian's Collage to learn their trade. the classes are on theology, philophy, psychology, and self-defence instead of mathmatics, astromy, natural sciences, and machinery<br><br>Protection, Life, Bane, Edictic, Enhansement, and Intervention<br><br>Protection: exactly how it sounds, shields, wards, seals, and blessings<br>Life: restoring vigor and vitality, from simple cures, and undoing harmful magics, to full blown mass ressurection<br>Bane: dismissing undead, summoning fire from the sky, banishing demons, and so on<br>Edictic: can command foes, make solders drop their swords, paralyze a person solid, and call upon the natural laws world around them for help.<br>Enhansement: buffing spells, like bulls strengh, cat's grace, and so on<br>Intervention: calling on direct divine aid is concidered a school all it's own, but this is one that cannot be taught, only learned, but it can do big things, move mountians and divert rivers.<br>these schools often intersect, for example Bane and Edictic cross paths to create Magic Null spell, which can create an area where magic doesn't work.<br>Aubert specializes in Edictic and Healing, with and only now learning intervention.

				If Marcus is normally a light sleeper, then that would work. There will probably be a brief time for him to fully awaken. You know that "Give me 5 more minutes" thing where the body and mind want to remain a sleep.

				Thank you Nari, I try.<br><br>And I was worried about that actually. I believe the hero with the highest kill count at the moment is Oren with 8, but I wanted it to be clear that it wasn't a straight fight.

				Sorry bout that i didn't even see there were posts Marcus&nbsp; The sleep spell Im baseing this off of is the 2nd ed AD&amp;D first level spell Sleep.<br><br>Sleep<br><br>(Enchantment/Charm)<br><br>Range: 30 yds.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Components: V, S, M<br>Duration: 5 rds./level<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Casting Time: 1<br>Area of Effect: Special<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Saving Throw: None<br><br>When a wizard casts a sleep spell, he causes a comatose slumber to come upon one or more creatures (other than undead and certain other creatures specifically excluded from the spell's effects). All creatures to be affected by the sleep spell must be within 30 feet of each other. The number of creatures that can be affected is a function of Hit Dice or levels. The spell affects 2d4 Hit Dice of monsters. Monsters with 4+3 Hit Dice (4 Hit Dice plus 3 hit points) or more are unaffected. The center of the area of effect is determined by the spellcaster. The creatures with the least Hit Dice are affected first, and partial effects are ignored.<br><br>For example, a wizard casts sleep at three kobolds, two gnolls, and an ogre. The roll (2d4) result is 4. All the kobolds and one gnoll are affected (½ + ½ + ½ + 2 = 3 ½ Hit Dice). Note that the remainder is not enough to affect the last gnoll or the ogre.<br><br>Slapping or wounding awakens affected creatures but normal noise does not. Awakening requires one entire round. Magically sleeping opponents can be attacked with substantial bonuses (see “Modifiers to the Attack Roll” in Chapter 9: Combat).<br><br>The material component for this spell is a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a live cricket. <br><br>Obviously he left out the material components using pure Arcane energy to cast the spell something one of his level (in game terms) could do but at the cost of weakening the spell. he focused the spell on Marcus I would say given his level (30th level caster) he could be out for as long as 2.5 hours. if he were slapped or kicked he could wake up. physically he'd be asleep but i've been known to react to things in my sleep. And am only aware of them cause my at the time girlfriend told me i had.

I confused the affects of the sleep spell with the psionic ability of cause sleep. But we are are really following DnD rules here, it is fantasy in a DnD type setting. Maybe the reason magic doesn't function very well on Earth is a natural resistance was built up in the general population. Whatever the reasons, we are going to allow Marcus to awaken.

				I never said zelith was all powerful take away his magic and he's only as powerful as a 10th level fighter.<br><br>I gave him level 30 in mage because it left him open to be able to do alot of magic.he is 370 years old.<br><br>I knew that there would be something of a debate as to why and how was my role able to do that and I left the effects of the spell open to you and while you fell into the effect your fought them off but did so in a way that warranted good story and plot which as a DM i go by the rule plot trumps power.<br><br>And perhaps there is something in the area that's reducing the flow of the weave of magic making the area a low magic zone or even a wild magic zone.

				actually I know about infrastructure and construction my father does it for a living, and I help part time when I need the money<br>as long as the local switchboard has power and the line is intact, land lines in the US are built to keep working. it's why they're so reliable, even if the entire region loses power, as long as the switchboard (which have mini-generators in case of emergency) is safe, powered, and not overtaxed.<br>with power restored the payphones and cellphones come back online, cell towers are attached to a city's powergrid, and do not have their own backups, standard procedure.<br>Wheeee I'm smart

				Hey Everyone! I've made some potential badges for Culture Shock if anyone wants to use them in their signature. They will be significantly smaller in your signature window. They are as follows:<br><br><div align="center">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/47/CSSig1.gif) (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/17/CSSig2.gif) (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f6/CSSig3.jpg)<br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/66/CSSig4.gif) (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e5/CSSig5.gif)</div><br>Just copy and paste the code below into your signature box. Right click on the image of your choice and select "copy image location" and just paste that location in the code where it says "IMAGE LOCATION." The image is centered in the code but you can make it appear on the left or right of your signature box by replacing "center" on either end of the code with "floatleft" or "floatright." The image will be linked with the In Character portion of this role play.<br><br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][url=http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=91280.0][img]IMAGE LOCATION[/img][/url][/floatleft]</code></pre>

				Well, if you go with that then I won't have had to plane walk lol.&nbsp; Works for me either way though, but going across the sea will take her brothers some time to accompany her.&nbsp; SHIT!&nbsp; I forgot all about the damn profiles for them!&nbsp; I'll get them down now.&nbsp; Either way, they'll be there, I promise and be warned now, David has a sense of humor so expect some conflict between him and the much more serious Seth lol.&nbsp; Believe me, the trouble my three Do'Urdens can get into are quite impressive to behold lol.

				Just a thought, with Oren starting to encounter Fantasy characters.<br><br>We should consider if any of the fantasy people know of each other. Oren for example, has been a wanderer for years and being known by other fantasy characters- at least by reputation as a hero and philanderer- is definitely possible.

				Well Zelith and Viviana know each other. Tiagar has heard of Viviana. I believe a few have heard of Giselle's dad. I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibilities that many have heard of Depheree as she has her own cult following and a small city built in her name.<br><br>As for the humans, I believe the only ones that really know each other are Kyle and Phaerbryn, oddly enough. It seems quite possible that Janet and Kyle may know each other from living in the same town.<br><br>E? You wanna do something like that? Maybe Kyle worked a couple summers as a boy for Janet's dad and his dad's dad on his farm? Or maybe Janet's family is known by the locals as a local seller of fresh milk, eggs, and meat products?<br><br>If Marcoth's character ever comes back, Janet could possibly know him as a druggie and trouble starter around town or maybe someone that has had a run in with Janet's sister, Samantha.<br><br>That's a good idea to have the characters a bit more connected, Villain. I wonder if Peace will ever be back. If so, his character may know Kyle from military background.

				That all sounds like an excellent idea. As a teen Kyle may have worked for Janet's father but it would have been grudgingly as Kyle was a bit of a trouble maker in his youth.<br><br>Being a local war hero though Kyle is fairly well know in town for both his past and current status. Any of the long time locals Kyle will have at least some familiarity with, anything beyond that would be up the players to decide. Nar, as you are currently controlling Janet I will leave it up to you to decide how well they know each other.

				Maybe Insane's Zelith could have a reason to teleport you to his tower. Or maybe the Lord could ask such of Zelith. Maybe the brothers have done work for the Lord before and he wants Zelith to teleport them to the castle to do some reconnaissance on the town?

				Well, to put it simply, not a lot has truly happened.&nbsp; There's a town meeting about to occur between the normal folk and most of the friendly fantasy ones that have come to town to investigate it for their own reasons, mostly out of curiosity though.&nbsp; There is a local king that rules over the land that the town fell into and the princess is attending the meeting as we speak, though the person playing her hasn't been around much of late.<br><br>The characters I know that were active are Elf's and my own for the most part.&nbsp; My own are three Do'Urden children, a mage, a barbarian, and a ranger/spellslinger, two boys and a gal as well as a light elf cleric/sacred prostitute.&nbsp; Elf's own is a light elf and a human, both warriors in their own way, though the human is a local army boy.<br><br>We had TheVillain who had a satyr like fellow out and about with another of Nar's human characters but I don't know if he's still active.&nbsp; There's more but that's the gist of it right now.

				Indeed I am happy to see you here, Tree. I think Vergil did a pretty good of a brief summary and listing the currently active characters. This evening is fine, but as I have to work will not be able to offer approval or suggest changes until after 2 am or tomorrow morning.<br><br>Thanks for stepping up Vergil while I was working on something else.

				I originally only planned on using Tony, but after developing him in my head, his sister became an important character for him, so I will submit both for your consideration. I'm very open to feedback and have a thick skin, so if you feel this is totally rubbish or needs anything, let me know.<br><br>Basic Attributes<br><br><strong>* Given Name</strong>: Anthony Boardaw<br><br><strong>* Nicknames:</strong> Tony<br><br><strong>* Gender:</strong> Male<br><br><strong>* Appearance:&nbsp; </strong><br>(http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff507/THRP89/highlights-6.jpg)<br><br>- <strong>Age:</strong> 25<br>- <strong>Height:</strong> 5'11"<br>- <strong>Weight:</strong> 160 pounds<br>- <strong>Hair Color/Style:</strong> Borwn with blonde highlights, slightly spiked.<br>- <strong>Eye Color:</strong> Blue<br>- <strong>Makeup:</strong> None<br>- <strong>Clothing:</strong>&nbsp; Tony tends to either wear button-up shirts with blue jeans.<br>- <strong>Jewelry:</strong> An expensive watch on his right hand.<br><br><strong>* Race:</strong> Human<br><br><strong>* Physical Abilities/Limitations:</strong> He is quite dexterous and has a steady hand from being a surgeon. He is sturdily built and can take a few hits and isn't particularly weak, but at the same time, he's not a trained physical fighter.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Originally from Haddersville, he has recently returned to take care of his sister. A brilliant and talented doctor, Tony passed through his medical school quickly, earning him a place as a surgeon in a major hospital in Chicago. He was well regarded by his peers, and was respected for his ability, even as a relatively young and new doctor. However, his father passed away suddenly from cancer a year before, which leaft him and his physically weak sister without living parents. He figured that the city would be a bad place for Mary, so he instead resigned his position at the hospital, and moved back to take care of her and watch over her. He has always been close to Mary, much more then their age gap would suggest. He finds himself in an awkward position though, because he finds it hard to be a 'parent', so he mostly lets her do as she wishes unless he thinks it will severely endanger her. After moving, he eventually got a job at the local clinic, but internally, he considers it beneath his skills. It does however afford him access to some basic medical equipment which may come in handy in the days to come.<br><br>Tony is kind, but slightly arrogant. He is a firm atheist and believer in science, and thinks that the idea of magic and mysticism is complete hokum.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><strong>Socioeconomic Class/Standing</strong><br><br><strong>* Class: </strong>Doctor<br><br><strong>* Religion:</strong> Atheist<br><br><strong>* Place of Birth:</strong> Haddersville<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><strong>Inventory</strong><br><br><strong>* Weapons:</strong> None<br><br><strong>* Misc:</strong> Basic medical equipment located at the clinic where he works.<br><br>---<br><br>Basic Attributes<br><br><strong>* Given Name:</strong> Marylin Boardaw<br><br><strong>* Nicknames:</strong> Mary<br><br><strong>* Gender:</strong> Female<br><br><strong>* Appearance:&nbsp; </strong><br>(http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff507/THRP89/girlS.jpg)<br>Young, cute, and innocent looking. She is skinny, and in fact a little bit too thin, but she also has small A cup breasts that don't add as much to her weight.<br><br>- <strong>Age:</strong> 18<br>- <strong>Height:</strong> 5'2"<br>- <strong>Weight:</strong> 103 pounds<br>- <strong>Hair Color/Style:</strong> Straight brown hair down to her shoulders.<br>- <strong>Eye Color:</strong> Hazel<br>- <strong>Makeup:</strong> She prefers not to wear makeup normally, but is known to wear light makeup in more formal situations.<br>- <strong>Clothing:</strong>&nbsp; As she spends lots of time in a wheelchair, she tends to prefer jeans, but she has been known to wear the occasional long skirt. She typically wears modest but form fitting screen t-shirts.<br>- <strong>Jewelry:</strong> None<br><br><strong>* Race:</strong> Human<br><br><strong>* Physical Abilities/Limitations:</strong> She is quite pretty in a cute and innocent way. Like her brother, she is clever and picks up topics quickly. Unlike her brother though, she's less likely to outright refute the iea of magic and mysticism. She can't walk very far without being in pain, so she usually uses a wheelchair to get around.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Mary has always been a little weak, but the car accident she was in when she was eight probably didn't help either. Her mom was killed in the accident, but Mary got off lucky, instead she was heavily injured, particularly in her legs. Since then, she has been unable to walk far without being in pain, so she ussually gets around in a wheelchair. Despite this, she is a fairly normal, shy, bright teenage girl. She sometimes feel that her brother is a little overprotective of her, but apreciates the sacrifice he made and is close to him so she doesn't mind much. She's a little used to people taking care of her for her whole life though, so she isn't very independent. Although she is shy, she is confident in herself and her ability to succeed, she just doesn't have much interaction with people.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><strong>Socioeconomic Class/Standing</strong><br><br><strong>* Class: Student</strong><br><br><strong>* Religion: Agnostic</strong><br><br><strong>* Place of Birth: Haddersville</strong><br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><strong>Inventory</strong><br><br><strong>* Weapons:</strong> None<br><br><strong>* Misc:</strong> a foldable wheelchair, a plain cane.<br>

				I haven't decided on whether I want Mary to be curable by magic yet or not. Both would afford great roleplaying opportunities, on the one hand, physically crippled people seem to be fairly rare in stories, and it'd be interesting to play one in a fantasy world. But I'm afraid that it might become too limiting down the road.<br><br>On the other hand, curing her would leave to some great roleplay where she starts to grow more independent, learns to walk again, etc.

				Well I figured it wouldn't be an immediate fix or anything either way and aye, I know what you mean.&nbsp; Surprisingly enough I have a physical ailment that prevents me from walking and stuff, and I'm vent dependent.&nbsp; Still, I don't let it stop me from doing what I like to do.&nbsp; At any rate, I don't need sympathy or anything like that, but it does get hard sometimes I will say that.&nbsp; Anyway, even if you don't want her cured, I'm sure there's tons of stuff we can pull off lol.<br><br>Just to ask, do you know what a Sacred Prostitute is by any chance?&nbsp; If not I can give a few ideas to help you out and all.

				Hmm, that's interesting to know. I figure her dependence doesn't just come from her disability though, I figured a large part of it comes from having a brother who worries over her and a small town that would be very accommodating to her. I don't actually know what a sacred prostitute is, I assume it has something to do with healing through sexual contact?

				Indeed, though the DnD book it came from had a lot more to it of course lol.&nbsp; Basically they do heal through sexual contact, but they are also highly trained in the many ways to give pleasure.&nbsp; I did do a bit of altering to the thing though and also made Neria and those that follow her more like spiritual and emotional counselors as well.&nbsp; If you've played Mass Effect at all then you might know where I went with that lol.&nbsp; Still, they have the power to gleam information from whatever gods they follow if a question is asked before anything is started, among other useful talents of healing and breaking curses, curing ailments of the mind and body, and healing wounds in general.&nbsp; Being a cleric just doubles up on their skills although you could be any class just about to achieve the prestige class that I have for my gal.<br><br>Sorry for talking your ear off there lol.&nbsp; I tend to ramble sometimes.

				I don't know but for me the full town shut down, and the meeting being the entire town at the football stadium at the high school. That in itself would draw my attention, just to see what was so important for the whole town to react that way. But that's just me.

				I'm with Elf on this one Swordsman.&nbsp; The fact that the entire town was shutdown would have sent me running to the meeting place first thing as soon as I saw a sign saying where to go.&nbsp; Still, it's your guy and in a way this might work out better lol.

				Tim was in his lab for the past two days and he had his own generator so he would not have been part of the town shutdown and as for the signs telling him where to go, he was a scientist buried in his own mind trying to solve a difficult dilemma, all he wanted was a cup of coffee, he would not necessarily care about it even if he saw it. And seeing it alone would be a bit of a stretch since he would be too much lost in touch since he was so deep in thought.<br><br>That was all I thought about it.

				It's cool Swordsman, and as I said if Kevlan gets a post up I'm sure this way will work out far better anyway.

				Okay I see how Tim would be preoccupied and focused on just one thing, but the only place he is likely to find coffee is the police station or the school.
