JesterSpirit

[B]Well everyone Torneko was originally a chat rp and this was my attempt to bring it into a message board. However its just not working out. Perhaps the idea just doesn't work on boards. Oh well it was a cute little run anyway and thanks to all the players for helping me out with this little experiment. This rp is now officially closed.[/B]

Jestyr jumped up in record time when he suddenly snapped awake. It was almost dawn again, he had slept most of the afternoon and all night. He started taking off down the road trying to make up some lost time. He had hoped to be in Hellios before the end of the day now he was way late. Oh well, atleast if he kept up this speed he would be there in a few more hours.

Jestyr sat down against the tree. He had been walking for hours and he needed a quick break. The countryside was pretty nice, he generally didn't get along with nature but he still thought it was nice to look at. His mind was in the clouds though, or more accurately in his deck. Card Destruction? That magic card seemed pretty useless. The only real purpose of it would be if he had no monsters and was getting attacked. Of course doing so would mean he would lose the cards he had at that time and could badly hurt him in the long run. Seems like a pointless gamble. What a dumb card, Jestyr couldn't think of a single passable reason to have it in his deck. He made up his mind to dump it for something better the moment he gets some more cards. He layed down relaxing on the side of the road and staring at the sky. His thoughts were still swirling about his deck as he silently dozed off.

There was a crack of steel as Jestyr's blade bit into the side of his opponents. The mans grip failed and the sword flew to the side rolling off the mat. The crowd surrounding the two men broke into a cheer and Jestyr held his own rapier high in victory. Walking out of the arena Jestyr rubbed the side of his head still high over his win. That had been quite a sword fighting competition and there had been several times when he was almost beaten, yet he had persevered. In all his life he had never lost a fencing competition. He loved swords and fighting both of which he excelled at. Though it was a dying sport. Gorongun was one of the only towns that still held such competitions. There was a new love in the world, involving a game he had always before looked down upon as ridiculous. Yet Jestyr knew he couldn't live without some form of dueling. If it couldn't be with swords, then it would be with whatever else was available. He pulled his small starter deck out of his coat looking at it again. Such an odd game. He had spent a considerable portion of his money to that shop owner in exchange for lessons on the game. He had all the basics down and even a few advanced moves involving his own cards though his knowledge of the game ended there. He pulled up his backpack and began walking out of the town. His pack had about of week or so of snacks in it, and about $1000 dollars. He didn't wish to begin his career as a card duelist in his home town. He would only duel here once he is truly one of the greats. His destination now was Hellios were he hoped to find some competition to kick off his new career.

((Just so you know the bird is an npc anyone can feel free to use it in their post. Just keep in mind this a GROUP adventure so don't go accomplishing the whole mission by yourself.)) The bird beast had circled several times. The small appetizers it had been picking up were starting to group together. The bird knew survival and though it reasoned it could still take them it wasn't going to take a risk. So it came upon a simple plan. Just keep circling them until the blizzard takes its toll on them, then it can swoop in and pick the rest up. Of course in the mean time it's flawless vision had spotted another lone person and the beast darted low and fast going after Avalon. Meanwhile back on campus. [COLOR=indigo]"Ok so let me get this all straight. Vivian says it will be Mischief, Junko says its going to be Avalon and I say its going to be that simple little beast playing with the dragon's.[/COLOR] Bozel wrote all this on a note pad then he turned to the monitor behind him that showed Cage in his engineering bay. [COLOR=indigo]"And what do you say Cage?"[/COLOR] He rubbed his chin. [COLOR=seagreen]"Speaking from scientific calculations. Charlie has the highest probability of being the first person to get eaten."[/COLOR] [COLOR=indigo]"Ok then thats all the bets. No changing them later like some of you tried to do when no one bet on Charlie."[/COLOR]

Seems alot of this is based on the new phantasy star online that i've never played. I only liked the original 4 so sue me if I make a mistake here and there. Name: Yumi Void Hallicion Age: 27 Class: FOmar Race: Human Weapon Class: Canes Weapon: Guardian Cane - A staff made of a type of light weight red metal. It is very durable. Techniques: Resta - Restores health. Deband - Boosts defense Ryuker - Creates an warp tunnel to desired place. Disappears after returns through it. Appearance: Shirt- Made of red silk that seems too expensive to ever actually wear. Pants- Made of a type of blue silk that once again seems out of place on an actual person. Shoes- Leather, strapped on and dyed red. Cloak- A large blue winter cloak with strange red runes on it. Skin- White, only lightly tanned. Eyes- Blue Hair- Dark brown and very long going well past his shoulders but tied back into a pony tail. Other- Has a large scar on his right cheek that resembles a strange rune. Bio: Yumi is a well known healer and guardian. He is always on duty and ready to help anyone who needs it, though he is far more likely to help you if you have alot of meseta available. Some mean people have rumored he robs those he helps but Yumi just laughs at these wild allegations. A few of Misha's friends have ask him to try and find her. He of course has agreed to this after shaking their hands and accepting the rings on their fingers as payment.

Nice idea, I tried to start a duel monsters rp like this a while back but it seems most people on the boards prefer starting with dragon decks and millenium eyes instead of earning them. Seems really boring to me though kind of makes those rare cards worthless when everyone has a god card up their sleeve. [/end rant] Anyhoo I'd love to join this one. Name: Jestyr Tocaz Place of Birth: Gorongun (Just because I like the name.) Age: 21 Description: One of those wirey little guys standing just under 6 feet tall and coming in just over 100lbs. His hair is something of his pride and joy and he takes very good care of it even dying it to a much nicer blue color. Of course it has never been touched by any sharp object and thus is very long going down his back. His skin is slightly pale and has a few scars and scratches here and there. His posture and the way he walks seems to belong to a drunken hobo being slouched and about as ungraceful as you can get. His clothes follow the drunken hobo look nicely being cheap, old, faded and filled with holes. None the less red and black seem to be his favorite colors and he just about always wears shades since he hates his blue eyes. Weapon: Very expensive and highly out of place rapier in a blood red sheath attached to his belt. Deck: Yugi Starter Deck.

The creature dropped Mischiefs unconcious form onto the top of the mountain peak into the pile with the other two it had already caught. It wasn't really a nest but no other creatures would steal its food when its up this high which gives the bird beast time to go get some more. These things were little but if it figured got enough of them it should get a meal out of them. It flapped its wings once then took off leaving Charlie, Geist and Mischeif in its makeshift nest. Back on Torneko's campus, Bozel watched sighing. [COLOR=indigo]"Well their doing well. A third of them have already been captured, two are lost and some of the ones left are just waking up from their nap. All they gotta do is get a feather from that thing then get everyone back to the pool. At this rate i'm going to be understaffed for the rest of the year yet again."[/COLOR]

Vivian gaped at the orb with a confused look. [COLOR=royalblue]'I thought suvival training was my job. What are you just going to let them wander around aimlessly in the blizzard until they all freeze to death?"[/COLOR] Bozel wrote some more notes on his ledger.[COLOR=indigo]"Its a good opportunity to see how your future class handles itself. Besides it only comes out during the worst weather."[/COLOR] Vivian blinked. [COLOR=royalblue]"It?"[/COLOR] And Bozel smiled darkly. Back on the Tundra a gigantic beast flew through the sky. It hibernated most of its life but emerged from its den only during the most hazardous of blizzards. Storms that didn't bother it but made food much easier to catch. This beast had a spiked tail and drill like beak. It must have stood over fifteen feet and its full wingspan was atleast triple that. Its whole body was covered in dark purple feathers. It scanned the ground with its perfect vision able to spot even the smallest of animals through the viscious storm. It turned its head to the side spotting something. A small figure swimming through the water. It wasn't very big but it was all alone. Figuring it would make a nice appetizer the beast swooped down moving fast on Karina.

Bozel gazed at the orb on his desk. [COLOR=indigo]"Well that didn't go quite the way I envisioned but close enough. Atleast the teachers are learning to look after the students."[/COLOR] He snapped his fingers and back on Mandorga the purple stone floated back down from the sky emitting an incredibly bright light. It shone all over the Tundra temporarily blinding everyone and when it cleared all the beast had vanished with it. Bozel leaned back in his chair smiling to himself. [COLOR=indigo]"I suppose I could let them rest a bit but that would be babying them now wouldn't it. Besides I wanna hurry this Orientation along."[/COLOR] Vivian still sat on his desk and she eyed him with a smile. [COLOR=royalblue]"Now what are you going to do to them?"[/COLOR] The headmaster laughed aloud. [COLOR=indigo]"I already pushed their fighting skills. Time to test their survival and abilitity to keep a clear head."[/COLOR] The purple stone shone a dark color and a Bozels voice ran out from it once again. [COLOR=indigo]"Pop Quiz #2"[/COLOR] The snow storms that showered Mandorga night and day suddenly increased to an apocalyptic intensity. The wind's blew with tree ripping strength throwing snow, ice and large chunks of hail in a massive blizzard. Before anyone could react there was a deafening sound of breaking glass and the icy ground of Mandorga shattered for miles around dropping the students and teachers into its freezing waters which immediately turned into giant waves.

Bozel sat the desk in his room writing quietly onto a small ledger. Every now and then he would look up taking a glance at an orb floating just an inch off the desk. Images of students and teachers fighting strange beast in a Tundra flashed on it. There was a ring of a door bell and Vivian struted in taking a seat on his desk. [COLOR=royalblue]"Well now just how many of those things did you sick on those people?"[/COLOR] Bozel wrote something else down without looking up. [COLOR=indigo]"4,309 give or take a dozen or so."[/COLOR] Vivian blinked and shot him an odd look. [COLOR=royalblue]"Isn't that a bit much for a bunch of greens? You never sent anything that dangerous during any other Orientation."[/COLOR] [COLOR=indigo]"It was a necessity because of their objective. I won't risk them hurting that creature when they try to take one of its feathers so their just going to have to learn a quick lesson in winning without killing."[/COLOR] Vivan laughed and shook her head. [COLOR=royalblue]"And you actually think their going to come up with something before they get eaten?"[/COLOR] He stopped writing and put his pen down looking at the orb. [COLOR=indigo]"They seem to be doing well so far, i'm sure one of them will have a thought. I'm betting on that new teacher Karina she seems resourceful."[/COLOR] Vivian pulled out a small broach and slapped it on the desk. [COLOR=royalblue]"I'll take that bet, I say that little kid who use his stone already, thats untapped potential right there."[/COLOR] Cage's face suddenly popped up on a wall panel. [COLOR=seagreen]"Hey I want in! I say the girl with the computer us scientist always come up with the plans.[/COLOR] Junko pushed Cage out of the way. [COLOR=orange]"Your just saying that because she's the only new student who showed interest in your boring classes. I say the elf girl they are really good at survival when they have to."[/COLOR]

With the whole group here the stone took a quick floating lap around the pool then a purple beam shrouded it. There was a cracking sound and then it closed, frozen over by the ice. Apparently the group had to complete their objective before it would open again. Then the stone shined a very dark purple and Bozels voice whispered out for a brief moment. [COLOR=indigo]"Pop Quiz #1."[/COLOR] The stone flew up very high into the sky and stayed there. The ground suddenly began shaking and an odd creature popped its head over a nearby mountain. It was about half as tall as an average human and lightly resembled a rhinocerous. However this thing had a fox tail, no horn, a very big set of nice sharp teeth and its skin was slightly wet. It let out an odd roar when it noticed the group and about four or five dozen others exactly like it showed up. They suddenly began charging down the mountain and towards the group at a blinding pace. One could think they were trying to say hello, though they were licking their lips and seemed quite hungry...

Among the shimmering lights under the water one very bright purple one always stood out. It moved through the water with a wavering pattern and then finally zipped upward guiding the others. With a splash it finally left the water and hovered over the pool waiting for everyone to arrive. This pool however was much smaller than the one at Torneko. Small pieces of ice floated around in it and the surrounding contryside was most certainly not the campus. An endless frozen tundra surrouded the pool. The snow was falling freely covering the frozen ground and the few mountains that were around. The air was chilling to the bone and there was no signs of life or heat in any direction.

Bozel reached out with his hand grasping the last stone firmly in his grasp. His eyes flared up and a burst of energy stung out from his closed fist for a brief moment. He opened his hand and stepped back. The stone now glowed a deep purple. [COLOR=indigo]"Your new guide, as I said I would be there to advise you and slightly keep an eye on you. Though that is all I will be able to do. Now I am done here, good luck to all of you I will see you again upon your return."[/COLOR] The purple stone fluttered for a moment then flew over to the pool. It circled it for a second then dove deep into the center with a tiny splash. Though the pool seemed to have no bottom, no matter how deep the stone went its shining light was always in sight. The group stood around for a moment watching it before Bozels slightly impatient voice snapped at the. [COLOR=indigo]"What are you afraid of getting your hair wet! Jump in and follow the stone it will take you where you need to go. All you new teachers in too don't think your getting any special treatment I want all these students back alive and safe now move!"[/COLOR]

After destroying yet another patch of dirt Laird sat down for a moment. Those nearly microscopic burst of energy didn't take almost anything out of him but he had been throwing quite literally thousands of them over the past hour and he was becoming somewhat exausted. He leaned back staring at the sky and a slight beeping sound from his wrist grabbed his attention. He looked down and noticed the numbers on it for the first time and the fact that they had been updated. Strength: 8 Defense: 10 >> 13 Speed: 19 >> 22 Ki: 63 >> 73 He pondered briefly over the significance. It seemed like such a vice to know exactly how little or how much he had advanced but he blinked such thoughts away and laid down on the dirt. Maybe he would sleep under the stars tonight, he missed doing that. ((OOC- I kept my stat growth low, he hasn't done much today.))
