Not sure if this is the right board for this....... but I'm looking for someone who can accompany Temmie and bare her personality! Since she isn't exactly the strongest Prime there is(Believe me, that'll come later. Hail Tem!) she needs someone to fight with and help her out if she gets in a pinch. While also providing nice company and conversation. I was just curious about the idea of having a traveling partner/friend whether it's just for 2 or two threads, or for a much longer time. You basically have a means of IC stat upgrades once you purchase them, Temmie can provide you with the item that represents the stat upgrade! Though the method of paying and who it goes to is same as always, it's just a nice little touch and usage of the Tem Shop box.

If anyone is interested in bringing this cat..... dog..... thing...... along, I'd love to hear what you have in mind!

At even length the shadow melts and fades,
from the moonlit face and e'r pearled fangs.
Unceasing smile splays, it proudly hangs
to welcome the unwary traveler’s trades.

“This is not the world you know.” it chortles,
watching without eyes the fear bewildered
hero wrenched outside their hearth and bed,
What amusement springs of silly mortals.

“I'll be watching, waiting.” darkness returns
again a new prime treads upon the world.
Forth to conquest, and to power furled
their future writ, blazed in starfire burns.

Yet palest face 'pon vast and varied planes
grins on and without questioning remains.



I've been tossing around having the sage compose poetry related to the omniverse, and I decided to try and write one with straight up iambic pentameter (as opposed to the freeverse style whatever-sounds-good-in-my-head I've been using for other works of this nature).

Consensus: iambic pentameter is way harder, but I kinda like it.

I couldn't see the Sage composing one about Omni himself, so I figured I'd post it here so people can enjoy! (if they want. you can also just look at the problems. That's what I do when I look at it.)

...
... Gah I keep changing the wording in that first stanza, I'm just going to post it so I stop obsessing!

Official fight chatroom: https://discordapp.com/channels/15298452...2051296257

To begin 8:00pm GMT, Monday 14th, once the IC thread has been posted by myself.

The fight will consist of three rounds. Each round will last one week, during which time you may make one post. The first round will end at 8pm, Monday 21th and the thread will be locked for a few hours while any conclusions worked out. Posts exceeding 1200 words will be penalized. I will be the judge, Strazio and Dark Link may be called in to help judge

Super attacks must take place at the end of posts as usual. Any member of the opposing side may then indicate the wish for their character to use a super defence in this topic, even if they were not the target of the attack. This MUST be done before they or another member of their side posts.

Full rules for transforming in fights can be read here: http://omniverse-rpg.com/fights.php#Transforming .

Here's how the calling system works.

State 1 - No current player has called
You may call a post by stating something to the effect of "I am now writing" or "I am calling now". In this topic. You will then have exactly 3 hours from the time of that post to write a post and then post it in in character topic. Other players may decide to give you additional time. If other players post during this time frame, those posts will be deleted.

State 2 - A player has called
You may indicate your desire to post next, but you may not call until the three hours are up.

State 3 - A call ends
Immediately return to State 1.

We encourage people to be courteous in calling, but if the person who is indicated their desire to go next does not call or come online within 15-20 minutes, we encourage you to call if you are waiting and make a post while you have the opportunity. Extensions beyond the week will not be granted barring extreme exceptional circumstances.

Hey, I know that there are some sticky subjects that we only have loose definitions of, and that's understandable.

I'm just looking to be pointed in the right direction for Ascendancy. Obviously linking me to the page that describes Ascendancy isn't gonna help me here, cause I'm needing additional help beyond that. Maybe just clarify the process a little?

There's quite a bit of PvP action that's taken place because I guess I don't understand what is meant by that block of descriptive text. I had plans on doing a ton of writing in the Verse to establish other control measures in the TWNN and Empire, but I was pretty sure that taking out my opposition was a pretty big part of Ascending the faction. Apparently it doesn't matter?

Thanks, guys! I'm just trying to get on the right track here.

So yeah I may have a problem. Got another game slowly brewing here. Planning to take a crack at the Lost Mine of Phandelver module for 5e. S'a good one for beginners, so iffen you'd like to get in on it gimme a shout. Strict limits on players this time; no more than five, due to the structure of the module. So let your interest be known and whatnot.

If you have any experience with D&D, do give an idea of what sort of character you'd be interested in playing (race and class at least, to get an idea of how to tweak things), or if not, just some idea of what sort of thing you like to do.

Also a general idea of when you're available to play (read: waste about three to six hours, depending) so we can all coordinate and such.

And any other questions, just shout. :frogbon:

"Mother Amaterasu... wake up. Wake up please."

"Hmmnh...? What... who... who is this, where..."

"Wake up. It is me, Bakugami. Mother Amaterasu, wake up..."

The Sun Goddess opened her eyes and found herself lying on her back. Behind her was a massive tree which seemed frozen in time, the cherry petals dropping from it were stuck in midair, and the sky above her was dark like at night. A number of stars were brightly lit, she could mke out the shape of one of the Celestial Brush Gods. As she rolled around to push herself up with her hands she took notice of the thick grass between her fingers and the large stone block that had been behind her. This is where I woke up when I met Arthuria... the white plains. But why was she being woken up by Bakugami this time? The Celestial Brush Boar God had not been anywhere nearby the last time.

Well, no matter... she raised her eyes to the sky and reached for her hair, to grab her Brush. As she did so she noticed something new: her sleeves were torn and ripped, and a look over the rest of her attire revealed that the rest of her dress was even worse: it was torn, dirty, covered in blood and with fading colors. The... I remember now. The Graveyard... Hero Teucer... Somerled and Trunks... she had shielded Trunks from mortal injury at the hands of Warlock, then everything had gone black. She had been bleeding out before that, and then she had died. And the Hero Teucer had given her some Omnilium for her help... had she died and returned? Omni's words returned to mind.

Quote:"Do not fear death. For as long as you interest me, you will be reborn."

So in my college clash that i am slowly beginning to loathe, we are going over a massive expansive poetry course. Anyways, as tedious as it can be, it's gotten me to a point where I love a good poem~ No matter the weirdness or melancholic tone, poems have this weird serenity to them now.

I don't think any of that made a lick of sense, but you get the idea.

Anyways, It's kinda sparked an idea for a thread. Go do some digging folks, and find some cool poems that could describe, affiliate, or otherwise have similarities with your character(s). Published or nah, just find some cool poems that could link up with your character. If they're pretty short, you can...probably just post them here? Just make sure you cite it in some way. Always give credit where it is due. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, then just shoot us a link and whatnot. Multiple poems for a single character is totally okay!

Gamzee's Poems: http://www.poetrysoup.com/famous/poem/98...n_language < Forgotten Language by Shel Silverstein. Makes me think of a Musing Sober Gamzee.

http://hellopoetry.com/poem/1493790/hanged/ < Hanged by Bo Burnham. A final moment of clarity before Gamzee dies. ;D

Okay so these were kinda depressing. Might post some happy stoner poems later. But yeah! Go wild! It'd be cool to see what you guys come up with.

Gildarts calmly walked through the passing portals of the nexus. His magic hadn't had an outburst in what felt like a consistent twelve hours. To him, this simply meant the clock was counting down. 

Tick tick. The wind blew. Suddenly the green was all around him. He didn't take to contemplating this, as all too frequently his surroundings would change in a blink of his she.

Suddenly his nose got stuffy, and his eyes grew red and puffy. He blinked more rapidly now, and felt the tickling sensation of the urge to sneeze. He had learned that holding this back made it only worse, so Gildarts chose a more desolate direction, and finally released a gust of wind that rippled about twenty feet forth, through the woods and cracking branches with a the gale of a great storm.

The forest rumbled, as though accepting am omen and hinting at fate.
 
"Bless you," Piqui squeaked.

"This always happens to me here," Gildarts sniffled a bit.

"That's because you have allergies silly." Piqui giggled a bit and batted his nose with her soft paw.

The calico's eyes were radiant and full of love, Gildarts couldn't help but to feel a little proud, though he was confused, "Allergies? Is that like kryptonite?" 

"No silly, allergies are where you're allergic to pollen or something. Pollen is in the trees." It seemed a newborn kitten knew more about such things as 'pollen' than the forty year old prime did. Still, he was thankful for the information. It was helpful to know that his symptoms were not because he was dying, or worse, because of his body's magic imbalance.

It seemed while he was with the exceed, his violent condition had stabilized, or was under control, at least for now.

She was his good luck charm, and while neither of them spoke it, Piqui too had thought it best she never leave the strong prime's side. Meanwhile, through the parting of evergreen trees, the homey village of Ambrosia soon came into view.

A quote that your character has said that you just think is priceless for any reason! 

Mine amuses me because he doesn't know who superman is, and he's OP like the superhero. Also wears a cape.

Gildarts always sneezes when he enters tangled, and I found this quirk amusing. He is just told he has allergies.
