The hours spent exploring the Nexus were left unknown to the soldier, her brain dawdled with questions that could never be answered. At least not as of now, she was alone, restricted to isolation in a land of one mere color and portals of strange colors and worlds. Kalli couldn't dare herself to take any more steps in walking into these places, she was underequipped, unprepared, there was no civilization for her to cooperate with. If she was fortunate strange figures would appear in and out of few on the other side, but such things would shortly disappear. Were they people, or something much worse? Like her thoughts, there was to be no answer.
With another click and clack with pouches of ammunition rustling, she strolled up to another gate like the rest, gawking at it with awe instead of curiosity or fear. Her eyes did not widen in panic, instead they would stare deeply into the lights beyond the portal, towering structures that poured with gold lighting, structures of elegant design and alien in nature, and creatures with strange legs strolling about casually. Kalli couldn't think, confronted with the world before her she merely stood in awe.
And was quickly shoved.
"Prime?" Dressed in white armor, shimmering like plastic and holding a gun of black in contrast with the uniform, there was nowhere to see through the helmet, the black eyes only reflecting Kalli. "What?" She would ask cocking her head in confusion, a heavy sigh followed by the creature in armor, he looked at another that looked the same, their height was off by a few inches. The other one shrugged before the alien in armor looked back at Kalli. "Did you come from the fountain?" The guard questioned, nodding to the place behind her, Kalli merely replying with a "Yes." before the soldier lifted up a hand, pointing a single digit toward the portal behind him. "This is Coruscant, home of the Empire. In order to pass, you need to submit to a security scan before being allowed to walk on Tier 1. If you have any relation to The Kingdom or Camelot, your items will be confiscated and you will be thoroughly searched. Any questions?" He lowered his hand again, placing a firm grip on the gun at his stomach.
"What type of species are you?" She would ask curiously, eyes squinting at the helmet, the stormtrooper sighed at the question as the other chuckled at Kalli's question, before looking out into the white of the Nexus again. "We're called humans, and there are a lot more other kinds of "species" you'll find. Which is why you need to a submit to a security scan. Now, move along before you start up a line." He moved back to the left side of the gate, as the other stood on the right, the two merely standing after all that occurred. Kalli followed as told, walking though hesitantly to see what the guards- supposedly humans, whatever that meant -were protecting from the so called "Kingdom".
Atmosphere, temperature, the time of day, the noises, the smells and the gravity...It all changed in a mere footstep. She had walked on through the portal with ease, only to be left stunned at the sudden change in herself and her surroundings. It was as if she had landed on a whole new planet, with only mere seconds to adapt before the soldiers in white would say "Move along." with Kalli having to move along to a nearby checkpoint, the soldiers surrounding the area with their black coated rifles and masks that hid their faces. It had a hint of familiarity to it, like her home, something about the militarism and the constant paranoia...It was awakardly warming. Very awkwardly.
"Its not like this one is a Copper Eye, do we really need to scan her?" One of the soldiers asked behind a glass, pushing numerous buttons as red beams appeared at the checkpoint, moving back and forth. The soldiers shoved Kalli in roughly, the beams humming as they ran through her with ease. "Yeah well, the Copper Eye will prop back up if we get lazy-" before the other voice could finish behind the glass, their radios buzzed with a voice, one of them noding. "Copy all, over." he stated, looking up at Kalli before deactivating the scanner. "You're clear, move on through!" He yelled past the glass, the soldiers behind her quickly moving up to make sure she wouldn't stall.
And the first tier would come into view, many primes seeing it before, and many to see it after, a mass of skyscrapers and glimmering windows with shining beauty and elegance uncompared to Kalli's memory. If only she knew the more darker traits of the Empire, she would be leaving in disgust in an instance rather than intrigued by the beauty. But, that would never quite seem to occur with all her gawking.

Character name:
Formally known as Emma Shutter, Ash: The Storm Demon.
Character source:
Original Character - Created for Another RP, Concept Inspired by D&D(5th) and Shadow Run.
Character history:
Emma Shutter, born and raised in the very distant future of a world whose magic is dying and technology is thriving and has even attempted to take over. Where punks like her started hacking for fun. First it was just harmless things like making the vending machines through out free drinks and snacks. Progressed to tapping into the city's maintenance bots, and reprogramming them to vandalize several building and non-hologram billboards in childish ways. The one hack that woke Emma up a bit was the time they hacked a police vehicle. She was still only 17, and was charged as a minor. Few months in Juvie, and another month of Community Service did two things for her.
One. Showed her that the justice system is very real, and active.
And two. How not to get caught next time.
It did shock her back into reality. Hacking was a crime, not a game. But while she was there, she picked up a lot of tricks, tips, notes, and advice. Fortunately she didn't really get into it after her release and community services. Probably because of how much her twin sister, Isabella Shutter, made a big deal about things. In a turn of events, however, later it would be Bella that drove her back into the urban life of cyber crimes.
Isabella was the perfect twin. The twin that was going places and who had all of their parents support and affection. She didn't act stuck up for it, and actually did her best to include Emma, but none of her efforts countered the damage their parents were unknowingly doing. Once Bella went to collage, and their mother praised her like an angel sent to earth from God himself, Emma turned to her old comforts. Causing trouble and slacking off in life.
Emma wasn't the type for normal jobs, and her outer cyber punk appearance wasn't really going to land her a desk job. If only someone had pulled her aside and let her use her skill with the computers in a positive way. Perhaps she could have even been helpful to society or something. She wasn't actually the type to work an abnormal job either. But she landed a stripping job at some hole in the wall in the slums. It wasn't the most glamorous of jobs. But she tossed her 'give a damn' in the river a long time ago.
It was on the very night that she was called in for her 'interview', if that's what you can call it, that her entire life changed. Creatures that she'd call 'Shadow Hounds' chased her and anyone else on the street to one of two ends. The ends of the earth, or a dead end alley. Dead end alley, was just that. The end of the road to whatever poor sap didn't know the city's layout well enough. Anyone lucky enough to know some way out, was chased up walls, down into the sewers, or in Emma's case, to the warehouse district on the coastal side of town. She had a friend with a boat, that she doubt he was going to be using. But on the way, a pillar of light burst into the night air, and she was drawn like a moth.
For good reason, as that pillar of light had actually been a magical vault containing magical items of ill, well, and unknown reputations. But in this magical treasure trove, only one item was meant for Emma. So passionately meant for Emma, that it got tired of waiting for her, and launched itself through the glass ceiling, to land a few feet away from her. Enter the original owner of The Red Devil's Claw and Quill in a pocket of time manipulation to give the spiritually chosen Heir of these items and other things of his, add a vague message explaining that Emma is that Heir and promises of riches. And Emma's got herself an adventure!
The rest of the night was a blur, but one should also note that Isabella also had an item in this vault, and appeared to claim it. An Elvin longbow. There were other's, but after the rescue, Isabella was loved, and Emma was ignored. Same play, different actors. They stuck together long enough to get some answers for that night, and for Emma to sprout a tail and the beginnings of a pair of horns. Then paths started splitting.
Emma went the path of Ash, and then tagged 'The Storm Demon' for added flare. But it was in no way a secret identity for a hero. No, it was an actual discarding of the old identity and starting on a new adventure. One that eventually landed her in the depths of the ocean. Under that raging sea, a ship from ancient times slept. And when she got close enough, it recognized its new master, and awoke. Like something from the times of the Titans, it rose from the depth's of the sea and in some unexplained way, was not damaged the way you'd expect a sunken ship to be. Actually the ship was completely in tact, and partially metallic. As if someone was preparing it for a new age. And she came in and wrecked their progress.
It was no sooner than the fully changed Tiefling, Ash, surfaced and did a quick tour in excited haste, did she wonder how she was supposed to even run a ship that needed 30+ men?
Well.. That's a question for another day. The whole ship was inexplicably dry. And she flopped down in the Captain's Quarter's bed. But it was apparently this feat, along with the rest of her achievments, that must have attracted the attention of Omni. Because one weird dream later, and she was no longer on her ship. Or even in her world. Hell.. She wasn't even in her universe anymore.
Physical Description:
She didn't realize at the time.. But that gift had a side-effect. And within a month, Emma was no longer human.. She was a creature from hell, a humanoid with pale bruise colored purple skin, white-out eyes, black horns that curved along her crown before reaching for the moon, midnight blue hair, and a devil's tail. She had transformed slowly into a Tiefling.. The Red Devil himself had been one, but he almost had been the last..
Almost...
She was just a bit taller standing at 5'8", but her build filled out a bit more in the hips and chest. While she was still slender and had her tattoo and piercings, she was a little different all around.
Stats:
ATK: 2
DEF: 1
SPD: 3
TEC: 4
Starting Proficiencies:
Physical Strength Proficiency (Melee/Fighting) - 1000 OM
Ranged Proficiency -1000 OM
Starting Powers:
Master Acrobat - 400 OM
Burst Movement - 800 OM
Starting Moves:
Red Devil's Claw - 300 OM
-Ranged Proficiency
The Claw is unique but roughly a basic looking Grapple Hook. The arms, however, are sharpened like a blade on the outside, implying it can be used in other ways that just a means of movement. The type of metal is unknonw, but it is crimson in color, and carries ruins are typical for resisting flames. This does nothing for the wielder, just the grapple. The 'rope' is also strange, in the fact that it is hair. Most likely from a human or humanoid. It's true length is unknown as it has been braided in some places. But Ash has access to 15 ft, if she so chooses to use all of it.
Ash has had this weapon for a long time, and knows it inside and out, allowing her to use it while moving around and is generally using it to do so.
Modifications: Grapple Shot - 300 OM
Ash paid a blacksmith to come up with creative way to allow her to shoot The Claw, and he came up with a system similar to a crossbow. Loading the hook into the firing mechanism that is attached to her arm with a heavy duty brace, Ash can then shoot the hook in any direction she can aim it. The rope remains free of the device upon launch, if ever the target's position exceeds the hair's length, Ash will have to give chance in whatever fashion it takes.
Modifications: High Power - 300 OM
The Claw shoots from the device on Ash's arm with the power and speed of a harpoon gun. Able to pierce a limb of a giant, without taking her own arm off. The 'rope' is in no way attached to her arm, but the recoil of firing the hook is very real.
Red Devil's Quill - 300 OM
-Physical Strength Prof.
The Quill is a dagger in the shape of a feather. The blade being the 'fur' part of the feather, with lines carved into the metal to give it a similar texture visually as a feather. It's made of a more familiar material, steel. Other than its detailed appearance, the only unique factor is if Ash turns it around she can write with the other side. It also automatically writes in blood, she assumes its the blood of anyone who's been stabbed with it.
Shocking Grasp - 300 OM
-Uses Physical Strength Prof.
Bright blue lightning sparks to life around one or both of Ash's hands. (Having it in both hands does not increase its power in any way.) Ash's hand(s) continue to pulse with electricity until she makes a successful touch attack, or voluntarily releases the energy from her control. (If she does choose to continually ready the attack, it drains Ash of her energy faster.) Once she touches someone, friend or foe, the electricity transfers and shocks the target. Depending where on the body she got her attack off, it hurts more or less. This move can stun a weakened opponent.
Mobile Dataverse Device(100) and Communicator(200) - 300 OM
(I didn't know if I was allowed to buy this now or not.)
Ashley spent the credits to get a directly implanted cyber jack. It's located at the base of her neck, giving her access to the vast information that was the Matrix, and communications with the world. When summoned to the Omniverse the comm connected to the Dataverse, giving her the same abilities she had in her own universe.
Total OM Spent: 5000/5000
All Resources were Spent.

Character name: Larry Koopa
Character source: Mario games
Character history:
Larry was born the youngest of the Koopalings. Originally a cute kid, years of his older siblings considering him a baby, and seeming to consider themselves better than him, started to make him become aggressive, and, willing to do anything to become better. As he grew up, he started practicing more and more, doing his best to hone his abilities, especially in sports. And, whenever he couldn't get anything he wanted through his skill, he looked for cheats and loopholes to help him win those ways instead.
At some point in time, he was a part of a scheme to steal the wands from the various royals of Mushroom World. Managing to steal his from the royals of Grass Land, Larry ruled Grass Land for a short period of time. However, he was soon defeated by Mario, in an almost unclimactic way. Fuming from this defeat, he started honing his skills further, and looking for better, more sneaky ways to defeat the plumber. But, no matter what he did, he was beaten each time.
After Bowser Jr. was born, Larry was sure people would start thinking of him better. But, instead, Bowser Jr. was soon made the heir instead of Ludwig. He hoped Jr. would give him a pretty big position, make him an heir understudy, but, all he really got was a lousy blue star marking on his left cheek. Life has not been that great for him...
Physical Description: (originals only)
Stats:
ATK: 3
DEF: 2
SPD: 2
TEC: 3
Starting Proficiencies: (2600) Physical Strength(1000), Ranged Proficiency(1000), Area Attack Proficiency(600)
Starting Powers: (700) Basic Super Jumping(300), Master Acrobat(400)
Starting Moves: (1200)
Tennis Racket(Requires Physical Strength/Ranged Proficiency) - 600 OM
A sturdier tennis racket than normal, but, still a Tennis Racket. It has the same attack and durability as a well-crafted sword, and, in Larry's hand, it's a pretty good weapon. Not only can he use it for melee combat, he can also use it to hit projectiles that are about the same size as a tennis ball. However, the drawback is, if it's tough enough, or been thrown hard enough, it can break straight through the middle. And, if a projectile is large and durable enough, he may risk wrecking the racket. Plus, if a projectile's small enough, it'll go straight through.
Spark Shooter(Requires Ranged Proficiency/Area Attack Proficiency) - 600 OM
While Larry's not quite grown up enough yet to use his father's normal fire breath, he has come up with an alternative solution. He instead uses small sparks that he fire from his mouth to try and damage his opponents. While they're not too powerful alone, they can be damaging, if used right. He might fire a single, quick spark for a pinpoint shot. Or, he may unleash a barrage of sparks in a six foot radius. However, for the single shots, they're small enough to dodge, as long as you're quick or aware enough. And, for the spark barrage, they're far and scattered enough from each other, that a skinny or average-sized person, with good reflexes and manueverability skills, could dodge them well enough.
I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct.

Character name: Alexyana
Character source: Original (from a novel I'm writing, as well as previous RPs).
Character history:[spoiler]In a reality somewhere... else, there are two godly beings, known as the Fishermen, who fish the souls from the recently deceased out of the Deathriver, where all souls go when their body dies. One of these fishermen, known as the Light Lord, fishes using a fishing pole, and only catches those souls that in life were friendly, good people. People who deserve paradise. The other fisherman, the Dark Lord, uses a fishing net and catches all souls that the other one did not. These people have not earned the right to enter Paradise, and thus go to Hell.
If a soul enters Paradise, or as it is better known, Heaven, they become angels - creatures of light and holy magic who improve upon their skill through training and may one day become archangels. On the other side of the spectrum, a soul who enters Hell becomes a demon, a dark and evil creature which feeds upon the souls of the living to become more powerful - which they typically do by luring mortals into contracts which trade worldly goods such as wealth or power for their soul.
Angels and demons are natural enemies of one another: angels attempt to protect the living as a demon-consumed soul will never become an angel or demon itself, and they wish to keep the demons from becoming more powerful. While there is a constant hassle going on, neither side are truly winning or losing this, mostly because angels and demons are immortal and even their death "only" means that they will reform in Heaven or Hell, respectively, after a period of time.
Alexyana, or as her full name is, Alexyana Nicola Umbranox of Cannaerborg, is the daughter of a succubus demoness and a dragon demon. A relationship like this is fairly rare, and demon-born children coming out of the relationship is even rarer, because demons tend to fight with each other to steal the other's souls or defend their own, which leaves little room for trust, true friendship and love. "Generation II" demons like her are thus not seen often, and it usually doesn't make a difference anyway seeing how they have the same powers, appearance and abilities that a "First-Generation" demon has.
Her early age was marked by difficult situations, as a "born" demon will not start out as an adult but instead grows to a certain age before they stop getting older. As a result, when she attended demon school - a special service for young demons to learn about their powers, courtesy of the High Demons with the authority to do these things - she tended to stick out like a sore thumb due to looking young, and being pudgy like all adolescent dragons. Around puberty her body-fat turned to muscles, her childish figure became that of a woman, her scales hardened into natural armor and her latent demon abilities awakened. At around this time she escaped Hell, denying her demon heritage and trying to pass as a normal dragon as she adventured in the middle-age Earth. Gradually she got to peace with her heritage and settled things with her mother, however.
Alexyana's life on Earth was greatly influenced by the Dragonhunts, a continent-spanning series of battles against dragonkind. Dragons had been accused, in a similar manner to witches, of being the source of all evil, of burning crops, abducting people, spreading plague and various other things that people wanted a scapegoat for. This had built up until dragons got systematically hunted down and exterminated. Alexyana did not die, as her demon immortality revived her if she was "killed", but these events have marked her until the present day. She ended up withdrawing and hiding from the world as she could not do anything against the sheer numbers of humans that overran her and her Brothers and Sisters (other dragons, not her actual family) and minimalized contact with her family to a hellish bracelet that allows her to speak to them despite being in different dimensions (Hell is considered a different dimension from Earth where humankind lived and lives). Interestingly enough it turned out to even be able to establish contact with them after she was summoned by Omni.
This last bit might require approval. To clarify, this is intended to be purely a plot element with no effect on Alexyana's fighting capabilities or knowledge about the Omniverse and its inhabitants - but Alexyana would likely want to let her family know what happened, and that they're not to worry although they can't do a thing about it now.
Finally the Dragonhunts came to an end some six years after Alexyana had first set foot on Earth (when they were still going on), because there were no dragons left to exterminate, they were either dead or had fled. Later, witchhunts happened for the exact same reasons, but that's a different story. Alexyana remained in hiding, instead leading the life of a hermit, honing her battleskills and learning about the world and herself.
Three years after the last dragon had been slain - by then Alexyana was 23 years old, she had reached her definite age from where her demon body would not grow older - she was summoned by Omni, opening up a whole new chapter to her story with a fresh start.[/spoiler]
Physical Description:
[spoiler] Alexyana is 3/4 dragon and 1/4 demon despite her parents being pure-breed dragon and demon, respectively - this is because dragon genes are "dominant" and have greater influence on the child's race. As a result, she looks like a dragon and has demonic traits which are relatively minor.
Standing at 3 meters tall (9.10 ft) she is almost twice the height of your average human - so yes, she's not going to fit through doorways without bending over. Her weight... well, you don't ask a lady that, but she got somewhat over 200kg, roughly speaking. Her mother's succubus heritage shows in her frame which, while not quite as optimized to seduce others, is rather curvaceous. Her muscles are extremely dense, meaning that even though she is very strong (physically), she does not look like the Hulk and instead is more beautiful.
Head:Alexyana's head is shaped like that of an anthropomorphic dragon (as in, a dragon on two legs with roughly humanoid figure): bulky, a rounded snout, a strong jaw with two rows of pointy teeth and covered in very small dark blue scales which create a leathery look from a distance. The bottom of her maw has beige-grayish scales that also transition along her neck and to her torso.
The clearest manifestation of her demon heritage lies in Alexyana's horns: they are curved and black like those of a goat, and grow out of her head. She has a small golden stud pierced through the base of her left horn, very near her scalp and hidden by her hair. Speaking of hair, Alexyana sports long, crow-black hair which she typically lets loose, although in preparation of a battle or when bathing she might tie it into a ponytail. She has three strands of red hair on her forehead which further hint at her demon heritage (they're not dyed). Why exactly she has them though, she doesn't know.
The second clearest manifestation of her heritage are her eyes: black eyeballs with golden irises and a piercing gaze are all trademark signs of demons, at least in her homeworld. They often make her look more menacing than she intends to be, though.
At the side of her neck is where the cyan lines that cover parts of her body have their upper end - they disappear at around ear-height.
Occasionally Alexyana dons a straw hat in the fashion of an asiatic rice farmer, though it's insufficient to conceal her horns - especially since most people are shorter than her and thus look beneath the hat by looking up at her.
Torso: Alexyana's torso is pretty much humanoid as a baseline: no wings, no odd limbs, nothing a human wouldn't have, outside of course of her tail. She typically covers herself up with light leather clothes, or cloth which is reinforced with soft leather pads on the inside. Why's that? Because her scales, which are much larger and have sharp edges, have the effect of a rasp on everything that gets stuck between them, and clothing kind of moves on your body when you move around - so many things get shredded after being worn for a while, unless, like said, they're reinforced. She prefers brown and black colors.
The scales on her back are bigger (around thumb-nail-sized), thicker and harder than those on her sides and are colored dark blue, whereas her belly is covered by scales as thin as those on her face but colored beige-gray-ish, which means that touching her front-side feels like touching leathery skin. She has two cyan lines running along her sides, forming a circle around her armpit and shoulder at the base of her arms, then going along her neck.
Author's note: Alexyana doesn't have breasts connecting to her shoulders <.< That was just the artist derping out when drawing her. You probably can't unsee it now, though.
Limbs & Tail: Her arms and legs are pretty much human, save for that her fingers and toes are tipped with claws instead of finger-/toenails. To cover herself she tends to wear short trousers, again with leather protection on the inside, and sometimes secures them with a belt. The cyan lines go along the sides of her legs and the topside of her arms, forming a circle on the back of her hands and feet respectively.
Her tail, finally, constitutes another asset which her dragon-genes are predominant in: it's muscular and tends to move constantly in a similar fashion to a cat's, though it is as prehensile as any other limb. It helps Alexyana to keep her balance and may even be used to attack, or wrap it around someone. It's the only limb that has two cyan lines on its surface, one on the left and right, which join at the tip.
Cyan lines? If you've read attentively you might be wondering what these are. Alexyana refers to them as her Energy Grid, which is the blood-vein equivalent of her innate magic powers. If she does something that involves magic, the lines glow brighter as a visual indication to where the magic energy is moving from and to - for instance, breathing fire will cause the lines on her neck to glow. Foes with this knowledge can anticipate and telegraph Alexyana's attacks more easily - but so can allies who know about this.[/spoiler]
Stats:
ATK: 5
DEF: 4
SPD: 0
TEC: 1
Starting Proficiencies: Physical Strength (1.000), Area Attack Proficiency (600)
Starting Powers: Enhanced Senses (Basic)(1.400)
Alexyana's dragon senses are sharper than average: her senses of hearing and especially smell are strongly developed. Most notably, she can smell out people in her direct vicinity - it's very hard to sneak up on her from behind. Although air currents, objects and such hinder her ability at longer ranges, she will likely take note even of invisible foes. Beyond some 20ft her sense of smell is too hindered by the environment to be of actual use.
Starting Moves: Total: 900.
Dragon Claws (Physical strength) (300)
Instead of fighting with heel-kicks or punches, Alexyana can also use the claws on her hands and feet as a means to cause damage. Their length varies between 7.5cm/3 inches (middle claw) and 5cm (pinky claw), this applies to both her finger- and toeclaws.
They are hard enough to goe toe-to-toe with a regular steel weapon and can cut through soft materials - a good iron armor will only get dents or scrapes though, and harder materials might resist the claws entirely.
Heavy Slam (Physical Strength) (300)
Alexyana uses her tail in combat as a semi-surprise move. She turns sideways to her foe if she isn't already standing that way, then brings her tail around in a wide horizontal sweep. Her tail is ca. 1,5m long (5ish ft) long, although the arc is slightly shorter since the tail is bent during the attack and not its full length can be used as a result. Even so it allows for a single powerful slam as her tail weighs ~40kg and is covered in scales. While foes that are aware of her tail may telegraph this attack, Alexyana counts on that her foes tend to have "only" four limbs and aren't used to a fifth one, much less one to be used in combat, to balance out this weakness.
Dragon Bomb (Physical Strength, Area Attack Proficiency) (600)
Alexyana draws from her magic pool to enhance her next attack. This forces her to go stationary and charge up for ~5 seconds as her Energy Grid glows brightly. She then focuses the magic power she draws into either her torso or into one of her arms, following which she rushes forward and strikes at her foe either with a bodyslam or with a straight punch.
After a ~half second delay the raw magic is released at the spot(s) where Alexyana's body connects with something (ideally the enemy body, but a shield, the ground or anything solid can trigger the effect too), creating a kinetic blast which affects everything connecting to the dragoness's body. The effect is comparable to an explosive in a tunnel: the kinetic force moves away from the point of impact in a small cone. It does not effect anything that does not connect with the point of impact.
The strength of this attack is dictated by the area it affects, which is the area where Alexyana's attack connected. A bodyslam offers a bigger potential area of impact as the whole front side of Alexyana's torso (but the affected area may still be very small, for instance if her foe meets her charge by punching her in the stomach - meaning that the area of impact will be where the punch connects) and a punch is highly focused on a small area.
Alexyana is noticeably weakened by the usage of this move as she invests a great amount of magic power into a single blow. Using this 3 times in quick succession would leave her very exhausted and unable to battle.

So lately I've been wondering, out of curiosity, what everyone's personality is here, according to MBTI(Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). I figure most of us are introverts, since most extravert's are probably not spending their time online and are actually playing sports or whatever, but still, curious to see what the statistics of this is. Some example tests and info are below.

If you happen to get stuck between two or more types, check out the functions. They are the bases of each type and how they take in information and process it. Keep in mind that you can display more functions than the ones in your personality stack. What your type indicates is which functions you are most comfortable with. Dominant is usually the most preferred, with the auxiliary as your backup. Tertiary functions usually aren't handled until mid-life stuff, in which you start to get the hang of it. Your shadow is your weakness. When you made decision with your last function in your stack, it usually causes you trouble and headaches. Here are some helpful links:

My type is INTP, known as the architect, or the thinker. My type is pretty much the ones spending all their time in their head, thinking about impractical creations and solutions to everything we see. If I can say one thing about how it feels to be INTP,it would be that to us, EVERYTHING is treated an experiment, even ourselves and others, to figure out the why in life.
Personalities so far x is uncertain)
Thaal: EnxP
Tartaros: IxTP
Zangetsu: ISTP/ ISxx? (some low preferences here)
Vincent: INFJ?
Toori: ISTJ
Yu: ESFJ
Orion: INTJ/IxxJ?(some low preferences here)
Emerald: INTP

My trip was a lot smoother this time around, probably because I thought to include a saddle this time, rather than sitting directly on the flying mount's back. Although I can't imagine I'd be suffering much without the saddle either, the creature's abundant fur looked quite comfortable, but that was neither here nor there.
My second flight between Dalaran and the gate connecting Camelot to the Nexus was much less eventful than my first, with no encounters with any bandits this time, insectoid or otherwise. The only sound to be heard was the mighty flaps of the griffin's wings, and the whistling of the wind in my ears.
My newly acquired encyclopedia of the world proved to be extremely helpful in clearing up my initial confusion, explaining to me the difference between the primes and secondaries who inhabit this world, and the different verses in which they live out their lives. It was this part that worried me though, the writer sounded like they very much expected me to stick around for the foreseeable future. They listed off common methods of acquiring habitats, jobs, how to acclimate and integrate into the society already established.
Some more research later, and I realize they did that because, as of the moment of the book's writing, no prime has ever been recorded to leave the Omniverse. That we can only travel from verse to verse, some harder to reach or quite a bit smaller than others, but no one can leave Omni's jurisdiction.
There were rumors though, of verses other than the main ones. One which they called "The Void'', a mysterious verse more connected to the others than even the Nexus. And one by the name of "The Oververse", from the descriptions provided by the small handful of primes who've been there, and were willing to share any of their hard earned information, no less, it was a Heaven of sorts. White, fluffy clouds, golden cities, winged angels roaming about, you know the type.
This is supposedly Omni's private realm, and the only place you can speak to him. Omni kidnapped all primes to serve as his entertainment, if anyone at all is powerful enough to return us to our worlds, it'd be Omni.
I figured that I wouldn't beat around the bush. I want out. Omni is the only way out. To the Oververse I go.
To get there however, I'd need to pass through the Void first. And simply finding the gate to the void is no mean feat, there's supposedly a gate in every main verse that isn't Camelot or Crouscant. But each and every one is hidden away in the furthest reaches of their realm, protected by the extremely hostile nature of the untamed wilds, and with terrible beasts as guardians that would not allow a soul to pass through as long as they still live.
I cannot explain why, even to myself, but I felt the cavernous depths of the Ashen Steppes call out to me. I trusted my instincts, why wouldn't I? It'd never failed me before.
I was broken out of my musings when the my mount reached its destination, the Nexus gate. We lost a fair bit of altitude to be able to pass through the gate while still flying, the transition was as abrupt as the first time it happened, with the blue sky and earthen ground giving way to cold grey as far as the eye can see.
I jumped down from my seat, and proceeded to pet my simultaneously furry and feathered ride goodbye. I extracted my OM from the construct and used it to revive the motorcycle I know called my own.
I set my sight on the one portal that was smoking in the distance in set my path to it, passing by a great deal of odd looking people. A man with bleached hair was arguing with a sword, another group stood to the side, made of a woman, a humanoid bird, and.... a humanoid something with a talking wooden mask.
Well, Omni sure works quickly, if nothing else. There's no time for me to think about others right now, unfortunately. I had an entire world depending on me to make sure it never succumbed to it's grief and called forth its own Fall.
I made a beeline towards the gate I singled out earlier, and was not disappointed to see the smoke rising from the portal up close. This was definitely the gate leading to the Ashen Steppes. I couldn't chicken out now, even if I'd wanted to. I drove my bike at full speed through the smog that built up surrounding the portal.
You better watch your back, Omni.

"Demetri Malius, you have been summoned to the court. You are to be escorted by us to the castle at once." The guard leader spoke, standing at my doorstep and knocking as loudly as he could on my door. What the hell did they think they could pin me down for? The last five times they brought me to court they couldn't even charge me for trespassing. What makes them think they would have a chance this time?
"Yes, of course, I'll get the door you miserable wrenches. The court thinks they have something this time?" I chuckled as I opened the door, a handful of guards before me. What a great sight to wake up to.
"If I were you, I'd wish it was just the court. King Tremolos himself has summoned you. You better be ready for anything, miscreant." The guard gave a smile as he motioned the others to keep a close eye on me, keeping me between them as if they were heading cattle. Damned guardsmen, what did they mean? The very King has beckoned me to the court. I must have pissed off the wrong people, but surely I would have known of such a thing. This past few weeks have been nothing but misdemeanors, and my work has slowed down a bit lately. Nobody seemed to be interested in the lives of others at this time.
My shoes stomped along the stone road as the clatter of the guards weapons and armor rattled my ears. A few of the townsfolk, as well as a few acquaintances of mine, saw my escort, but did not think much of it. Again, this wasn't the first time I was dragged off by guards.
As we approached the castle, a wave of dread came over me, and I had this uneasy feeling that this was no ordinary summoning. Something was stirring within those stone walls, and I wanted nothing to do with it. The guards lowed the gate and shoved my inside before reeling it back up behind me.
"I believe you know the way from here, since you're already familiar with the place. Don't get any ideas either, thief. We know what you do, even if we can't prove it." The guards rushed off, most likely trying to catch the last few minutes of happy hour at the inn. However, they were right in the fact that I did know the way there. I followed the all too familiar path into the main room, making my way to the courthouse.
As I walked into the council, I was met with quite the scene. Most of the faces of the council were smirking, amused even, at the sight of me, while others scowled in annoyance. Something was definitely up.
"You suggest we send this oaf for such a heavy task? We might as well be shooting an arrow in our foot!"
"Now now, don't be so critical. He is quite the witty and resourceful sneak. My he has even managed to take a few amulets for Himnus! He will learn what happens when you flaunt your skills with such ignorance, and be a servant to the king."
I listened in to the conversations, but I couldn't quite grasp what was going on. Then the king arrived, slowly making an entrance before sitting on the high throne. "Hush now my council. The decision has already been made to what must be done. The royal man then turned to me. "I have a request for you, well, rather a demand. It is of the utmost importance, and it seems to be that you are the most qualified to do do such a task, and you must do so efficiently. It will be very difficult, but I'm afraid you cannot refuse, as it is my direct order. If you decide to run away from this task or seek shelter with my enemies, then you will be charged with treason and a high bounty will be placed on your head."
At this point I was worried. This man was dead serious on whatever he wanted to do, and apparently I had no choice but to do it. I was already hating this plan before I even heard it.
[b]"Now, you know of the conflict between this kingdom, and the land up North, the kingdom of Serance. There has been quite the quarrel between who their daughter will marry, and who will get to share their land. Now, this is where I need your help. You see, this kingdom relies on that marriage, as our mining resources have become scarce, and the Serance Kingdom happens to have an abundance of it. We must secure this marriage, but a duke from a nearby kingdom has gained the Serance King's favor. You must kill the duke."
That's it. The king has gone mad.

So this is where I'll be notifying those concerned with what terrible things Nealaphh has been up to.
Other people can use it too, if they want.
