After staying in the Nexus for nearly a week with Jupiter and Creatia (It only felt like a few hours to her, even though she knew it was a week. Time was really screwed up in this insane place.), coming to terms that she was stuck in this place, and honing her Omnilium summoning powers, Glory was finally ready to leave for the Green.

Well, it seems not everyone in the Omniverse is bad. On my away out of Camelot, a man garbed in leather biker attire happened by. He was a large scruffy man with big poofy hair that reached all the way down his back. He offered me a ride.

I was just reading about the Avengers, some sort of hero group and how they are stationed in the Vasty, so I told him that's where I needed to be. The trip there went by WAY faster, and I still had my hands free to check my phone. Some super hero named Vision was going to help me apparently. That's an interesting name for a hero.

When we made it to the Vasty gate, I was surprised to see Guards posted. I had a sinking feeling about this place.

At least I did at first. When we crossed over the portal, I was surprised to see some sort of tropical vacation hot spot, a crowded one.

I really hope that Vision guy arrives soon. I don't want to think if I accidentily set off this bomb somehow.

I say farewell to the biker who took off down the street, and I sat alone the gate, watching for a hero.

The enormous city-verse of Coruscant was an amazing sight to behold. Buildings seemed to stretch endlessly into the atmosphere, and cars sped by, both on land and at various altitudes in the sky. Zedd was pained to admit that he was blown away by the spectacle. It was a sharp contrast to the plain white Nexus, and it was a step towards understanding the vast power held by the rulers of this realm. The verse reminded him of Eltar, the planet in his own universe that had been the birth of the conflict between good and evil – at least on the galactic level.

That was a long way away, and a long time ago. Staying in the moment was crucial. If this place was to be his, it would be no easy feat. The three grunts that had loitered through the Nexus were more than a match for him presently, so there was no question that any attempt to claim this land as his would currently be met with devastating failure and humiliation. There was always more than one way to skin a beast, however. The path was clear and simple: infiltrate and learn.

As soon as he could get through this unbearable line. What in the hell could possibly be taking so long? Zedd groaned in frustration as he waited for his turn. After several minutes he found himself at the front of the line of vistors, where more of the white armored clowns were standing guard with not only rifles, but other various tools.

“Welcome to Coruscant,” the lead Stormtrooper said, with just a hint of boredom in his voice. “Stand right there for scanning.”

“Scanning?” Zedd barked in annoyance. “What could you possibly need to scan from me?”

The Stormtroopers hesitantly looked between each other, and the lead one shook his head. A fresh arrival to the Omniverse was always an obvious sight.

“All new arrivals to Coruscant are scanned and IDed,” the Stormtrooper calmly explained, though he took a slightly more defensive posture. “It’s just protocol.”

“How absurd,” Zedd bellowed, but he did not budge as one of the other stormtroopers approached and swung an odd instrument around him. “Your feeble technology cannot begin to grasp the depths of my power.”

“Nothing abnormal detected,” the Stormtrooper reported with just a touch of surprise in his voice. “Pretty run of the mill guy, actually.”

“Insolent…!” Zedd stopped himself only to compose himself. He  snarled as the Stormtrooper still took several steps aside. “I’ll have you know that I ruled my domain with an iron fist before being deposited into this hellhole.”

The lead Stormtrooper could only roll his eyes behind his helmet. “Well, that was there.”

“Your Empire is still in need of my aid,” Zedd ignored the man’s tone, his voice still determined. “How might I begin to show you the path to true glory?”

Once again, the Stormtroopers exchanged glances. Their emotionless helmets couldn’t prevent them from knowing each other’s expressions. Was this guy for real?

“Well, the EPD is always looking for assistance,” the head Stormtrooper finally said. “They have a station not far from here. You’re clear to enter the city, I just have to advise you to keep the peace. Shouldn’t be much of a request if you want to work for us.”

“With you, ingrate,” Zedd was fast to correct him, but the Stormtroopers were already done with this guy. They waved him along, and Zedd merely scoffed, but at the same time eagerly walked past them. There was nothing more to be gained from chatting with the peons.

The dark lord began his stride into the Imperial city. The thought of working for this Empire repulsed him to his very core, but he was willing to make the sacrifice if it could help him achieve his goals. He just had to look at the positives. It was nice that some soon-to-be deposed Emperor had already built him a glorious city.

This is concerning FAQ No. 27: Can I write in two places at once?

There was a thread originally started here with a small group that had its own storyline going on already, right? A couple of people had joined in, then separated to their own thread to develop their own plot point and resulting storyline from there.

However, someone from the first small group had posted a new thread entirely that I feel breaks the continuity of the first thread by continuing in a different manner than how the original thread is currently going right now, and would've been better off posted in the first thread.

I was just wondering if this was posting in two places at once or if the thread the member from the first group wrote is fine. If needed, I can post the threads in question.

Thanks in advance.

This is something I've been debating on for a month or two, and at this point I just can't pretend something's magically going to change anytime soon.

Raal is an awesome character, I had a lot of good ideas for him still... but I flat-out just can't get myself to write him anymore. the muse is just flat-out gone. At first, I blamed it on general writing Malaise, but I've never had this same issue writing Weiss whenever the opportunity popped up, so that seems pretty unlikely. After running through the excuses, I've basically had to come to terms with the fact that it's not the environment or my level of exhaustion - it's just that I'm not able to write Raal anymore, as much as I'd like it to be the fault of anything else. something occurred and now I just don't have the stuff to do it.



That said... I have ideas for some switches I could make to characters I WILL be able to write, and wanted to hear your thoughts.




1. Abathur



This one was probably relatively obvious to a couple people, but Abathur is someone I've mused on playing for a while. Outside of the fact that he's a wonderfully prissy scientist with an adorably unique style of speech and thought, he's definitely capable of making for some of the most unique fights possible with his ability-set. 

Abathur'd be pretty advantageous due to being someone I can apparently write dialogue for pretty well, as well as a character that's a bit less "Loner" than Raal was, which was potentially part of his issue. He's got no set alignment so the people he can write with without fighting is pretty high, and Starcraft is an awesome series to work with. Unlike Warcraft, I still like a lot of SC's lore, (if not the main story itself) so that's also pretty helpful. He's still got ambitions and ideas, but he's a bit easier of a character to change and a little more unique where it counts.

The main disadvantage I can see with Abathur is direction - he has some self-driven goals but not all of them are going to go anywhere too fast. Since he is so dang unique, while I think he wouldn't get old in that regard, I can't say with complete certainty I'd be into playing him the entire time. Still, he'd be a lot of fun.

2. Sona Hinamori.


I'm sure Imouto enjoys seeing this choice pop up. A young fighter with a hammer and a lot of combat experience, this former mercenary captain is the best example of a rough-talking, gold-loving mercenary for hire... who also happens to be a 4'1 young girl. Also, she wields a hammer bigger than she is. So there is that.
I know from previous DnD'ing that this is not only a character I can play, but that she's one of the most fun I've ever had the experience of playing, so the interest and playability is there. Her fighting style is simple but in a way that causes it to be immensely fun, and she's got a very easy motivation to do things - Treasure, gold, boredom are all things that can motivate her to try and steal Palpatine's best saber, smash through the church on the day of Thrall's wedding, and land a nasty promo on Diablo.
My only worry is there's less source material for her to work with, and without Rafhorn she might not be as fun as she once was to play.


3. "Chara" 



Now we get into the "potentially illegal" section and I'm probably going to ask for staff ruling on this one in a different thread.
There is an undertale AU called "storyshift" which "shifts" different character's roles in their universe. Rather than a 1 to 1 swap, the characters shift in somewhat random fashion, though always in pairs.

In this AU specifically, Chara and Asriel take the place of the skeleton brothers, with Asriel taking on Papyrus's role as a quirky cinnamon bun that makes you play "humans and monsters" with him so that mom-I mean the head of the royal guard will accept him as a real guardsman.
Chara, on the other hand, ends up playing a version of sans that's more animated and more vicious at the same time.

This is a concept I absolutely adore, and I would probably love playing, but probably falls against site policy, so I'll probably talk to an admin about it at some point, but the potential to play someone who got that close to darkness, before pulling away at the last moment... it's an interesting idea, so I'll fling it up here.

4. Gimli





Another one that I have discussed in chat. Gimli, son of Gloin would also be a delightfully simple and interesting character to bring, and who doesn't, after all, love lord of the rings? Or Gimli, for that matter?
This version shall probably slightly lean closer to movie Gimli in personality, though I'd be citing a decent mixture of movie and book for different things. Gimli's probably one of the most fun character types to play, and his impact on the omniverse, I imagine, could be tremendous. his already existing reasons for hanging out with the dwarves (Being a dwarf) also help me figure out just what to do with him.

5. Riven


Young lady, big sword... PTSD! Riven is my all-time favorite league character, and her design's one of my favorites. The broken blade is actually someone I've written for before (Under the pretext of being younger and less experienced) in fanfiction form, and while I can't continue that for reasons it'd be fun to import some of that to a roleplaying area. I know I love writing for her, I know I love her backstory and design, and I know I have little reason to ever stop writing for her if I pick her.

Riven would be incredibly easy to play due to past experience, but comes with a couple risks:
-I don't play league anymore, and while I've loved the character a long time since I've put down league, it means I'M less familiar with some things than I should be
-she's a little similar to Weiss.

so these are the options I'm looking at.

As for Raal, sorry to everyone who really wanted to or had RPed with the character and wanted to see him continue. I wanted to see him continue, too, but in the end... it was just not to be.

Hey folks, I'm coming back from a pretty big break.

I'm writing in the TWNN and the Dunes in general, and I'm just curious what's been popping there lately. Any big crazy things that've happened that I might know about?

I promise I'm not hunting anyone down or anything like that, I would just love to make my writing reflect the stuff that's happened in yours! Living world and all that.

Link me threads where cool stuff happened and I'll do my best to read them!

Mina was a simple girl with a simple life , the daughter of a simple farming family had made her way to castle guard faster then most people would . Her still young age back at that time was one that had many people question if she was good enough , if she could handle the task at hand . It was indeed a task she handled well , having been doing it for three years already . With many more to come so long as she stayed healthy , however it was not without its costs . Life in Camelot was simple really , besides royal affairs and the occasional rabble that is . She knew war was a very real thing as well , though she really did not see the value in fools throwing their lives away trying to take the city . She was guarding the gate to the city on this particular day , an easy enough task . Nearly silent as the four guard team at east gate ate their lunches , she was never much of a talker so the other three laughed and talked about whatever . Her own mind seeming to wander , to focus on other things . She would be going on her first ever date soon , something she was building anticipation for .

As Erik turned to address the fresh primes, he realised that they had already left. The psychic screamed internally. He was tempted to summon a table just so he could flip it. He had been abandoned again! How many times did he have to get left behind before he could have an actual adventure?

"Fine!" Erik screamed into the void of the Nexus. "I don't need them anyway! I'll go have fun on my own, for Gal'skap's sake!" The psychic stamped his feet childishly as he turned away from the Nexus and began summoning his horse. When the familiar grey mare fully materialised, Erik had managed to cool off a bit. He stroked the horse with a heavy hand and considered his options. 

"Where should I go? I could go to the Moors, maybe. It could be fun to kill some zombies for a while." The psychic mumbled as he produced his dataverse device. The first thing to pop into his face was news on the star pieces. 

"Camelot holding a wizard tourney to assign guards for star piece?" Erik mouthed. "Concerns about attempted thefts has led to Dalaran holding a tournament to find the strongest mages and wizards in the city. Primes need not apply, as Dalaran is willing to skip the screening process to recruit willing primes."

Erik quickly stashed away his dataverse device and leapt onto his horse. Nothing would brighten his day like taking that star piece from those dirty wizards, and if they were beefing up security he obviously didn't have much time left. 

'Hurry, girl.' Erik thought to his horse, speaking to it through his mind. "We're going to relieve some filthy mages of their enchanted trinket."

When I post in the Nexus does anyone with Storyteller access mind writing Toma getting arrested and dragged off to prison on Coruscant? He's going to engage in a fight with Stormtroopers, but y'know...not something stupid. He's going to be beaten unexpectedly and I'd like to be put in jail. I plan on having a storyline based in a super max prison that the Empire runs. 

Thanks.

To prove my insantiy, I have created a dating site in the Dataverse! As it says in the post, you can submit either a secondary NPC or a prime. Form for entry is in the second post, up to you if you want to post this form in character or here (though who doesn't want the OM?) Any questions and comments can go here!
