Character outline:
The Darkness is a physical manifestation of The God's lack of interest in the world they created. James, their once loyal minion, has been perverted by The Darkness. Once a Paladin, his once holy and creative powers have become perverted. Using the power of Queen Beth's stolen signet ring, he has fueled his dark magic even further. If he should succeed in gaining control of the rest of the Crown Jewels, his power would be nigh unstoppable. Already counted amongst the most powerful and wealthy of all the warriors in the kingdom from his days working for The Light, he has powerful magics at his disposal. The Darkness imbues James with a Perverted Summoning once a day, as well as the ability to control The Darkness' cloud makes James almost intangible, and all damage will be reduced by 90% while within it.

Before we go any further I just want to commend everyone so far. It's so very much fun to read how each of you write, and how the story comes together with joint effort. I also wanna give a tip of my hat to james111222, for opting to be a most convincing and great adversary! I love this RP

I am having a lot of fun with it too, D_S. I haven't had so much fun on a DC board since I learned that DC had mail!

I haven't had so much fun on a DC board since I learned that DC had mail! Hah!! That may be the most amusing thing I've heard in a good while. You're proving a great catalyst to the story, James. Well done. This is going remarkably well, especially since some of us - myself very much included - do not consider ourselves natural RPers. Great, great fun!

I'm enjoying the Rp aspect of it as well. I have had experience RPing in the past with BreCheye, and I like the way this one is written. Thanks D_S for sparking my interest in rejoining the noble battle!

Addendum Irishman has a hither-to unrevealed ability. His deity grants a transforming ability to her mightiest warriors. It is partially involuntary and only happens at the greatest evil or when the persons life is in grave danger. Or for one other undisclosed reason. (can't reveal everything at once) It is a holy creature, blessed by the hand of the Goddess herself, and repels any undead in proximity. Also, the bite of this creature utterly destroys evil creatures, burning them to ash. The Evil we are fighting would be unable to sway this creature and they would have to fight as equals. The wolfes tough hide is like plated leather armor and only a determined thrust has any hope of penetrating it. Other than that, it bleeds like any other creature.

Hahaha...Unknown just failed to realize that there were 6 undead archers pointing arrows at him when he decided to just undo his chains and dash towards the darkness.

...But I turned invisible? And I foolishly thought that maybe, just maybe, after unreservedly pouring your energy into the summoning, and then being in the middle of casting an apparently powerful spell, that I just might catch you off guard. (the ripple that pushed me back was supposed to indicate that those events were happening just as you were casting the spell)

We've got a bit of an issue with time management as a whole, I think, but thankfully it's mostly glossed over.

It's definitely not the perfect RP, but it works for me!

Here is something that might help:
Godmodding This is one of those words which many people use, but few could actually define... doing any of the following constitutes godmodding: - Creating a character with the intent that (s)he be immune to harm. - Creating a character with the sole purpose of killing another character. - Refusing to post a character sheet with the relevant information on your character. - Posting an incomplete character sheet with no intention of finishing it, to hide weaknesses or flaws in the character. - Refusing to acknowledge weaknesses of your character. - Having your character perform some action which is beyond his/her abilities at the time. - Back-dating Role-Plays without the consent of all the RPs would affect. - Editing previous Role-Plays or altering your character's past, to fit the situation in a current Role-Play. - Using Insta-Magic (explained later). - Using Called Hits (explained later). - Not declaring Contingencies, Sequencers, or prepared spells at the beginning of a Role-Play (explained later). - Resurrecting a deceased character inappropriately. All of these are forms of godmodding, and are looked down on by most of the respectable members of the RP community. They are best avoided, for OOC and IC reasons.
Called Hits Called hits are adequately explained by T'Gatherin's website regards to physical attacks, but the defenition lacks clarity for those using powerful magics. For example: {char 1} - *He slashed open {char 2's} gut, whirling away to avoid the inevitable spurts of blood from his severed arteries* - Called Hit {char 1} - *He slashed at {char 2's} gut, before spinning on his heel to avoid the pulses of coppery blood a successful stroke might cause* - Acceptable That's a decent enough physical example, but lets move onto something more complex... magic: {char 3} - *A bolt of lightening was released from his oustretched hand, moving beyond the speed of vision, semingly instantaneous in its conact with {char 2's} chest, boiling his blood in mere moments... a slow, painful, and ultimately futile death* - Called Hit I shall take a moment to explain why it is a called hit... Although {char 3} may be correct that his adversary could not possibly dodge lightening, it is possible that some hidden attribute or ability {char 2} possesses could alter its effects. A more appropriate line follows: {char 3} - *A bolt of lightening was released from his oustretched hand, moving beyond the speed of vision, seemingly instantaneous in its contact with {char 2's} chest. The power of the magic would boil a man's blood in mere moments, bringing him a slow, painful, and ultimately futile death, but {char 3} wished to witness {char 2's} end, and watched for the results of his casting...* - Acceptable I hope that has cleared the line up a little.

Out of commission for a few days, Unknown has permission to make posts for me, so long as his character is under my control. Thanks for the fun so far, and hopefully I will be able to get back to it soon!
