Void Rift: Reference Thread

Because he doesn't like magic?

Reasons for keeping wyvern alive: decided that the story of 'I left that wyvern to die without being able to fly again' would probably make me feel really bad later on. I don't want to know what would happen if one of the main characters dies.
"Except you know exactly what would happen."
I mean to do with me, not events in the rp. But I guess you're right.
"Knew it all along. I'm surprised nobody tried to press me for information by now. If I die for example, all the other characters go into decline. Other people die, all your characters turn evil more or less. Another dies, we have a big problem with a [CENSORED]."

 

"What did I do wrong?"

:(

 

@Devourer
'Pure alcohol' is really just ethanol (C2H6O). In its purest form, it is used as an antiseptic (like rubbing/medical alcohol, as it can clean out wounds/kill infectious bacteria), a solvent (chemistry), a fuel (it's in gasoline, sometimes), and is often seen in thermometers (as mercury is no longer used due to its toxicity).

Spoiler: inb4

@Nepeta Leijon
The server that brought ethanol to Eras probably either got his 'pure alcohol' from the hospital area, or from some sort of chemical storage area for use in a lab (the people in the shadow realm understand germ theory, so having laboratories doesn't seem too far-fetched)

You may now back away slowly.

 

The palace kitchen is host to many things, even every fruit in the world (as seen with Artemis); pure alcohol is a fairly easy substance to come by, so it's no doubt they have it somewhere in the kitchen.

That guard had a family, you know.

How does it feel to know his son will grow up without a father; his wife's life ruined by the grief she'll face once she's informed of his death.

Just think about that.

 

Don't think I don't have feelings.

Nightmares ignore sentimentality.

 

You mean nightmares as in a physical being, or an unpleasant dream?

 

How about you just let Ihra help you figure that one out?

 

"Ihra, could you answer Aj's question?"

"I think he meant he was going to show us the answer."

"Intuition, my dear Artemis. Might as well get Aj closure."

 

Erm... the shadows in shadow realm 'sleep' (are less active) during the night? Why? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be active in the night, and hibernate through the day? Especially since you previously said that lower-level shadows can't survive in direct sunlight.

 

The Realm of Shadows doesn't cause harm to Shadows if its day time, and since many Shadows live there, they tend to follow the day/night cycle like most human/humanoid beings. The sun in the Realm of Shadows is much dimmer than the normal sun, appearing to be bright twilight to outsiders.

In the normal world, however, the lower level Shadows tend to hibernate through the day and become active at night. Aj can survive without sleep since the darkness is enough to give him energy, and the sunlight is too weak to harm him; only suppress some of his abilities.

 

Alright, no. This is an info thread, not a joke.

 

....And then Aj took off his Shadow Aj mask. And Katie fainted again.

 

Giving Shadow Aj emotions shows more character than just a blank faced killing machine who doesn't feel remorse and can easily kill people. If you give characters emotions, they seem more 'human'.

This was a heartfelt speech about Shadow Aj's feelings toward Ihra, and how he values her presence and doesn't want to see her go. If it lead up to the moment where Ihra turned into Xlentia and Shadow Aj was just like 'Ok. You're that now. I don't care.' It would show literally no character at all.

*faints*

 

I was just saying that it seemed awfully reminiscent of when you were talking about not wanting characters to die. That's all.

 

I don't want characters to die because I've grown emotional attachments; like onions. I get emotionally attached to onions and cry when I have to kill them.

 

imo the heartfelt speech felt out of character. I bet Helianthus would have none of it.

 

As much as Aj isn't one for expressing deep emotion all the time, he does still feel guilt for people he kills, and, obviously, has other feelings he doesn't show. Hard outer shell, soft interior. The speech was to show he cared about Ihra, even though he might not appear to at times.

 

"Stabs Ihra"
Anyways, that shows with Myria.

She's the the overworld. I don't think anyone's interacted with her, so she's doing her own thing; aka: A null character.

 

Every time I create a character, I swear it is more than just a character. When I created the ghost guy who appeared near Eras... well, the next day I had a science test. Guess what sort of writing style came out: my usual one or one based around him? Yeah... every time I create one, it sort of becomes a part of me. With no exception for any of the characters, even the unnamed wyvern.
