Veritas

[size=1][color=gray]Dorain stood there looking at a lifeless bloody Cat, cradled in Eddie's arms as he wept. Dorain couldn't help but feel partly responsible, it was his idea for them to put the fire out, he convinced them to stay. Though his guilt weighed on his heart and soul, he couldn't mourn, mourning came after justice or revenge, yet he couldn't fully blame Charles either, he had been shot and fell a good distance, he must have been delirious, but actions were actions, whether intentional or accidental and people have to account for what they've done.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Eddie, we gotta go."[/b] Dorian spoke slowly, his voice cracking in mid-sentence. [b]"Eddie, come on! EDDIE![/b]" Dorian yelled placind a hand on Eddie but his words fell on deaf ears.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Shit, fuck, Eddie I'm gonna get everyone out of here, when I get back we're going, I don't care if I have to drag you out of here."[/b] Dorian yelled before turning and walking away.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Smoke hung thick in the air, though Dorian's eyes where able to see reasonable well through the dim swirling smog, though it stung slightly to keep his eyes open. Breathing however wasn't as easy, coughing Dorian held up his sweater to cover his mouth and nose. As he wandered he spotted a female figure walking slowly toward him, though as they began to near she stopped, though parts her still seemed to be moving. As he drew closer he saw what they we're, snakes protecting the woman he had heard called[i] "Juliet".[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Dorian kept advancing speaking smoothly when he got close enough for her to hear. [b]"Ah, it's you, since we haven't officially met, the name's Dorian, care to share yours? And that's interesting little gift you have there."[/b] As he became visable to her, her guard dropped slightly, but only in the slightest as if she was relieved it wasn't someone else. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"I would save those questions for later, now isn't the time, and even then I give no promise to answer."[/b] She spoke, her tongue sharp and smooth, staring at Dorian intensly with her golden eyes.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Good point, I take it you're lost, you can follow me if you want, I know my way well enough."[/b] Dorian said turning arounds. He wasn't sure if he could trust this woman, and even more unsure if it was safe to turn his back, someone wanted them dead, but sometimes you have to do things no matter what consiquences follow. [b]"I think everyone else is out, all but you, me and..... Eddie."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Dorian started to walk slowly foward, back towards the place Eddie sat. He didn't look behind him to see if she followed but soft footfalls from behind him assured him of that, til she gave her name. "[b]Juliet, my name is Juliet and that is all I am going to tell you, be thankful you recieved that much."[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Hmm, not much like the character you inherited the name from, though I'm not one to talk."[/b] Dorain replied back to Juliet, who didn't say anything in response, the silence was filled by the ever closer moans of Eddie.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]As the two wandered through the dense smoke, it swiftly began to rise, being sucked out of a window. Though that should have made it easier to breath, but Dorain almost seemed to be getting less air now, the fires were choking as well. Added to that,the pressure in the room seemed to be changing, definately not normal.[b] "Hurry hold you're breath, someone is sucking all the air out of this place"[/b] Juliet warned, though any type of concern was void from her voice.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Dorian nodded but before he took a gasp of air, he ran foward the rest of the distance to Eddie. [b]"Eddie, hold you're breath, someone is sucking the air out of this hell, and if you ever want justice for Cat you need to survive."[/b] The man nodded, but neither did he get up or quit cradling Cat's body, Dorian gulped down a large breath and held it.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]It seemed like hours, that each second was an eternity, as Dorian was about to choke from the lack of oxygen, a rush of air flooded back to the building. The fires were almost all extinguished, save a few that would burn themselves out or could be put out by another as sirens pierced the silence of ragged breaths. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Definately time to go."[/b] Dorian spoke to himself at the same time covering the academy in black. Softly grabbing Eddie he managed to drag him to his feet turning he grabbed Juliets arm but she twisted free, driving a hard punch to Dorian's face.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"OW! Was that really neccesary, I'm just trying to lead you out of my world of darkness, if you don't want to trust me then trust my intentions because I mean you no harm."[/b] Grabbing her arm once more he lead them towards the exit, releasing the darkness and his grip on both people when they reached Eddie's car.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Not so bad now was it."[/b] Dorian stated caressing the side of his face. "Eddie, give me your keys, I'll take you to my place, you can clean up there and regain you're composure." That was an intruction that Dorian wouldn't let Eddie protest, he was in no condition to drive, plus it would be less suspicious to have him lay down, after all most people would be worried if they saw a guy covering in blood and soot driving.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]***************[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]The door clicked shut as Eddie left, he hadn't said much the entire time at Dorian's place. [b]"Don't let it destroy you......."[/b] Dorian whispered turning back to his appartment. He looked his small tree up and down, nothing too spectacular for Christmas, but then again Christmas was far from his favorite holiday.The holiday itself is fine but the shopping gets horrible, the people even worse. I guess you could say Dorian has a love hate relationship with it. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Satisfied with his tree he walked back into his bedroom, turning and stepping into his closet. Reaching to the top of a shelf, Dorian pulled down an old shoe box, stopping he hesitated, that box contained part of his past, a part he though he put behind him, a part he'd rather forget, but the past always has a way of catching up to you.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Removing the lid of the box he stared down at the contents, memories flashing through his mind. Times he should have died, there were too many of those and this was the things that kept him from dying all those times. They were two things he had prayed he'd never have to use again, and hopefully he could manage without them. Placing the lid back on the box he put it back in the spot it came from. He didn't want to use those unless he had to.[/color][/size] OOC: I hope it's ok I put myself as the hazy figure Rev, let me know if there's anything you want me to change. I left our departure open in case you wanted to add anything or say anything to Dorian, if not that's fine works either way.

[size=1][color=gray]This 'Quan' knew too much, implied to much. He was here, there were only 2 explainations he was 'gifted', or he was entirely something else.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [b][size=1][color=gray]BANG.[/color][/size][/b] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]At the sound of the gun shot Eden huddled up against Dorian's chest. Instinctivly he held her close lifting his head to survey the area glancing up just in time to see Charles fall and Dani scream when the blood splattered back on his hand. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Ha he's the last person I'd thought would have a fear of blood."[/b] Dorian mumbled causing Eden to look up blush and step back.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Sorry."[/b] She said, cheeks still flushed, as a man directed a question at Quan[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Dorain laughed on the inside, she was too cute. [b]"Don't mention it, you ok?"[/b] He asked giving a comforting smile to her, that did nothing to cease the blush.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Ya I'm fine, thanks."[/b] Eden replied quietly, recieving a nod from Dorian before he turned to look back up at the balcony.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Dani sat there looking down at where Charles fell, holding one of his hands like it was injured. Thats when Dorain noticed the balcony, places where the punks blood had landed were melting. [i]"So you're not afraid of blood, his just burns and I thought you were the hot tempered one."[/i] Looking at the area where Charles had fallen smoke slowly began to rise, swirling in the air, climbing higher, growing darker at the base as flames began to became visable.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Eddie mumbled something again in spanish, probably cussing, before turning to thier part of the group. [b]"I say we get out of here, I don't got no desire to sit in jail again."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Definately."[/b] Brian said turning to walk towards the door when it opened, permitting two more people, people that were also at the jail that night.[b] "We'll it's an official reunion now, but I think we've out stayed our welcome."[/b] Dorain sarcasticly spat, turning to walk towards the exit, thought he felt a tug on his arm.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Wait, we can't leave this place burning, we have to do something, all the history that's here, we have to save it some how, we need to learn from it, there are too many answers here."[/b] Eden spoke strongly, determination in her eyes, stopping the group from leaving.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Brian turned back around[b] "I'm not going to wait to go back to jail, that's insane, my powers can't help anyways."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"I can give us a little cover of darkness to make our escape should we have to run, I'll have to guide everyone, but we should get out ok"[/b] Dorian folded his arms looking at Eden,[i] "So you do have some fire in you."[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Eddie cussed in spanish again "[b]Fine, me and this one we'll go see what we can do." [/b]He said grabbing Cat's arm and heading towards Charles, the source of the flames.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]OOC: I don't know if you had anything planned as far as the set up Ozy, but I think I loaded the bases for you, so just knock it home. Or if there's something you'd like me to change let me know.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=gray]Question *Raises Hand* Uhhhh so like is the Academy going to burn down, because Charles is bleeding, and I'm assuming his blood got on more things than the gun and Dani's hand. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Lol, anyways I'm going to go ahead and put something in my post about a small fire, nothing too brilliant, you can make it bigger if you want Ozy. Then we can have one of the water gifted people put it out, leave it burning or I can just delete it if no one likes the idea.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE=Jayna]Ehh I never agreed with that for some reason. I mean.... [spoiler]He and Roxas were best friends when Roxas was in the Organization, Sora just reminds Axel of Roxas (He should) so he's fond of Sora. And wouldn't this work both ways? Wouldn't Sora feel a tiny connection with Axel, beyond his and Roxas' friendship? I don't think he did soo...And I don't know the names don't match. I mean I doubt Axel's name is Ale or Ela or gosh forbid LEA but I don't know, unless he just made the name up himself (I'd believe that....)[/spoiler] I guess it's one of those theories I'd need to see to believe. Man I can't wait for KH3...[/QUOTE][size=1]I think it makes sense, but then again thats just me and this is just speculation.[/size] [size=1][/size] [size=1][spoiler]Sora wouldn't have to feel a connection to Axel though because Sora is basically the original, where as Axel and Roxas conection could a copy of their originals so they would feel a connection to eachother, as well as the connections their true selves feel. Lets say Sora is a mountain range while Roxas is a single mountain in this range, Axel would be able to see the single mountian and recognize it by itself as well in the entire range, where Sora has just seen the entire mountain range that is Riku, he can't recognize that one mountain that Riku and Axel share in all the other mountains.[/spoiler] Bad analagy, anyways it's all just speculation again, but I just think it makes sense.[/size]

[QUOTE=NashvilleDream]I think he actually may have done that on purpose...XD Anyway, here are the finer points of my [spoiler]"Axel is Riku's nobody"[/spoiler] theory. ....err... give me a minute :sweat: EDIT: *cough* Apparently the school has the place where I keep them blocked... heh So I'll...err... post them later >.> T_T[/QUOTE][size=1][color=dimgray]It's ok I got your back, lol you might have more to add but I'll put some up. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=black][spoiler] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=black]I think it makes sense that Axel is Riku's Nobody, 1) it explains his fondness of Sora and Roxas. 2) If you compare the Nobody's to their Human counterpart they have the same eye color. Take for example the Sora/Roxas fight, then Axel and Riku both have teal eyes.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][color=black][/spoiler][/color] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]That's all I can think of for now, it's been awhile since I've played the game.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred]OOC: I'm going to do a great monster post and get us all in Harlem Academy, and try to describe some stuff in their.[/color] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Great just great...."[/b] Dorian thought to himself as the teenager spouted out words at an unbelievable speed. Building after building seemed to pass but one thing stayed the same, the constant chatter from the girl.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Soooo what are you're guys abilitiies? I think it's obvious that if you're showing intrest in the 'Harlem College' place you must be able to do something alittle out of the ordiary, like I can spray water out, kinda like this."[/b] Dorian groaned as a stream of water hit the back of his head leaving a wet patch. It took some effort to bite his tongue, but he managed to choke down the words he would have loved to say.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Anyways so what can you guys do, and theres no need for you to answer Iceman."[/b] She continued.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Actually he prefers Frosty, and what makes you think any of the rest of us have powers, even if we did last time I checked I was out of grade school and this wasn't show and tell."[/b] Dorian murmered looking back at Cat from the corner of his eye.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Slightly taken aback, Cat crossed her arms putting her lower lip out in a pout, [b]"Gosh you don't have to be so rude about it, I just thought there were to many coincidences, I keep runnin into the people from the jail." [/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"No kidding"[/b] Eddie mumbled, looking across the car at Dorian.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"I don't believe in coincidence.......... but this isn't the time or the place to show you my gift, so you'll have to wait."[/b] Dorian said turning his head to the back seat as Cat's face began to beam.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Sweet, hey those are cool shades can I see them."[/b] Cat asked, though it was a choice only in phrasing, her hands were around Dorian's glasses before he could get a word out. Quickly he squoze his eyes shut as the surge of light tried to rush in.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Whoa, these things are dark, how the hell do you see out of these."[/b] She spoke, unaware of the demands to give his glasses back.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Brian gave Cat a sharp elbow to the ribs, taking off the glasses she looked at Brian with fire burning in her eyes[b] "What was that for?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Uhh I think he wants his shades back."[/b] Brian said motioning towards an angry looking Dorian, eyes clenched shut.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Oh, here sorry didn't think it would be such a big deal, geez."[/b] She whined handing the sunglasses back to Dorain's out stretched hand.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"It normally wouldn't be,"[/b] Dorian stopped to put the glasses on, his eyes welcomed by the darkness, [b]"But I can't see without them."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Oh here I thought you were blind or something, my bad."[/b] Cat said shrugging and finally going silent.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Their was quiet for a short while before a different female voice spoke. Though this voice was smooth, quite and a bit unsure sounding, but beautiful none the less. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Dorian, if I might ask, what color are your eyes?"[/b] Eden asked.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"What color, what color the are or what color the were? The used to be dark deep brown, almost back with a unusual hint of jade green in certain lights, now I think they are silver, though I haven't let anybody close enough to look tell me."[/b] Dorian replied quietly, a hollow sound to his voice. His eyes, they had been his favorite part about himself, deep and mysterious, but now his eyes were almost always hidden by darkness.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"I think we're here."[/b] Eddie chimed in before Eden or anyone else could say anything in response.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Stepping out of the car the looked at the large building. It was reddish-brown brick, and ordinary other than the banners it had hung from the walls. Each having a different zodiac sign on them, as well as the color corresponding to the signs element.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"What do you think we'll find inside?"[/b] Brian asked aloud.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"I don't know, hopefully answers."[/b] Eddie replied.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Only one way to find out."[/b] Cat said running foward to the doors.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"She's got us there."[/b] Dorian laughed as the rest of them walked towards the doors, inside stood a awe struck Cat, head almost spinning in circled as she tried to take in everything.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]The giant exhibit was dimly lit except for the displays which made it easy for Dorain to see. There were many objects, Roman and Greek shields and swords bearing the signs of the zodiacs, as well as many pieces of jewlery doing the same. There were objects so twisted and contorted than it couldn't have been done by a man, but what really caught Dorain's eye were the tapestries and paintings. Each from a different artist in a different style, from a different place and time, but each depicting unhuman acts being performed.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Here a tapestry showing a battle, where a man seemed to be fashioning stone to himself til at last he looked like a golem. Their another battle seen, but a woman was breathing fire down apon fleeing enemies. Another where a man was shown flying above the mountains. One where a woman was walking on the bottom of a lake and a second with a woman surrounded by snakes, though they showed no threat to her, if anything they caressed her. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Though one above all the others stuck in Dorians mind, it was a man, sitting on a throne surrounded by darkness, but his eyes they shone like silver, though the rest of his image was little less than an outline. [b]"This is impossible, well I think I've learned nothing is impossible, just highly improbable."[/b] Dorian mumbled to himself, drawing a few quizzicle looks from some of the others.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Realizing the attention on himself Dorain shrugged, [b]"Lets go take a look around, see if we can find someone that works here."[/b][/color][/size] [color=darkred]OOC: I hope that is ok Vicky as far as what is at Harlem Acadamy, any problems let me know.[/color] [color=darkred][/color] [color=darkred]Same goes to everyone else if I used one of you're characters wrong or if you want me to change something. Oh ya and one more thing I hope this makes sense lol, sorry if it's crappy.[/color]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Lol I see some flaws in you're plan Lonley, maybe their would be zombie pirates or something, or a giant zombie whale like in Resident Evil 4[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Hmm anyways I realized that if zombies attacked I would need my iPod or some form of music to increase my zombie killing potential. So sorry if anyone screams for help, I can't hear you, I'm in the ZONE :smoke: .[/color][/size]

[color=yellowgreen][size=1][b]Name:[/b] Icky[/size][/color] [color=yellowgreen][size=1][b]Species:[/b] Gecko [b]Colouring:[/b] Green and Blue with Yellow eyes. [/size][/color] [size=1][color=yellowgreen][b]Disposition:[/b] Confusing in mannerisms and speach, Icky befuddles most of the other animals. With his unusual way of wording things, as well as a tendancy to answer questions with questions or speaking in riddles. Though majority of the time there is wisdom in Icky's words, it's just trying to figure it out.[/color] [/size] [color=yellowgreen][size=1][b]Anything else:[/b] Icky was brought home by a little boy from a vacation. Well of coarse the little boy decided to do what little boys do best, gross out girls. So being the little boy he was he put his gecko in a girls hair during their walk home. The little girl did what littles girls do best, screamed 'Icky' and threw the gecko into the forest, where it hit it's head on a tree, and thats how Icky got his name too, and the impact from the tree made him a little 'unique'.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=darkred]I really like Argentosoma, I have all the DVD's, which is kinda cool because if you take the first letter from the first letter from each word of the title it spells out Argentosoma.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [color=darkred][size=1][b]A[/b]nother [b]R[/b]eality, [b]G[/b]etting [b]E[/b]ven,[b] N[/b]o [b]T[/b]ears, [b]O[/b]utside [b]S[/b]anity, [b]O[/b]ur [b]M[/b]emories, [b]A[/b]nnhilation.[/size][/color] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Anyways, by no means is it the greatest series I've seen. Like Dagger has already mentioned the characters seem kind of dull. Though I think they did a really good job of portraying Ryu's struggles, and the ups and downs he goes through, thinking back about the show he is pretty psychotic. Hattie and Sue are about the only other characters that seem to have personality, and even then Sue could be argued. The story over all is interesting, they do a great job in twisting the story in ways you'd never expect, but other than that I think the story has a dull sense to it too. The fight scenes aren't that exciting, and the character interaction isn't the best. Ryu's and Dan's ego battles do prove amusing sometimes. I had hoped they would have done more with Ryu's and Guenevere's relationship, but thats just my inner fanboy. I really do like the designs for "Frank" as well as the SARG's I think they did a good job on those. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]I like it but over all I would have to say that it's just a Mediocre series, don't expect much except plot twists, and a semi-psychotic main character and you'll be good. I think they tried to make something that was compairable to EVA, and it just lack the personality, and the information, nothing really gets explained fully, there are a lot of gaps anyways, I'd still reccomend watching it.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=gray]The room was dark besides the fact that the morning sun had already begun its ride across the sky. The room had to have some minor changes since Dorian's powers manifested, the large windows were now covered by thick black curtains, which prevented all but the smallest slivers of light from entering. Rolling over in bed Dorian looked over at the clock[b] "Damn I'm late, it's alot harder than you'd think to wake up without the sun shining on your face."[/b] Rolling over to his back he looked up at the shadowed ceiling, sighing before sitting up.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Looking around he tried to focus on his stained wood furnature but even with the curtains the room was light enough he couldn't make out the fine details. Walking to the bathroom he turned on the shower, letting the water pass over his hand till it was hot, not scalding but close. Stepping into the stream he let the water engulf him, hot showers were one of Dorian's favorite things.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]After drying off, he walked to his closet grabbing a some dark jeans and a ribbed black sweater. Slipping on a pair of Adidas Superstars, Dorian walked over to his door grabbing a wool trench coat and lastly the sunglasses he bought yesterday, though they were far from his only pair.

[size=1][color=dimgray][b]Name:[/b] Dorian Trevest [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Student Template:[/b] The Sarcastic [b]Weapon:[/b] Chakrams [b]School of magic:[/b] Elemental Air[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Minored school of magic:[/b] Black [b]Abilities/Spells[/b]:[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][color=deepskyblue]Movement Gale[/color] - Uses wind to aid his movement making him faster, more agile and able to jump higher.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][color=black]Soul Strike[/color] - An unsual form of hexing that most black mages skip, it involves casting the hex on ones self thus making their attacks stronger, the downplay of this is the caster feels a slight but signifigant part of the damage he is inflicting thus damaging himself. Usually the kickback damage is only pain thought there have been cases of actual wounds appearing, such as if a foes arm was severed a small cut on the casters arm where he made the slash on the enemy. Since the kickback damage is reduced it's almost impossible to severly hurt oneself but using it on multiple foes can cause some major harm. [b]Personality:[/b] Gifted with keen wit, Dorian is an excellent student when his tongue or humor doesn't get the better of him. Neither quiet or loud, though at times he can be one or the other. Known equally for his sharp critizism as well as his ability to find humor in almost any situation. Dorian isn't overly social with most he tries to avoid "unneccesary talking", following a self adapted motto's 'say what you mean and mean what you say.' Bluntly honest Dorian has a habit of saying the wrong thing at the exact wrong time, getting him into some sticky situations, though luckily his tounge does work in reverse, being smooth on the blue moon occasion.[/color][/size] [font=Verdana][size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size][/font] [size=1][color=dimgray]Though behind his sharp tongue is someone more complicated than most would guess. Dorian harbors a hatred of himself, and doesn't think he deserves to be loved or cared for. So he keeps his heart cold and most people away with his sharp mouth. He acts like he doens't care but if anything he cares too much which is part of the reason he doesn't push people away all together. Most poeple wouldn't expect a favor from him, but actually he would be one of the first to offer it, though you might get an earful after.

[size=1][color=dimgray]Currently I have some Bone Thugs N Harmony "Thug Mentality". I figure most of you won't like it but I love it, though it isn't my favorite bone thugs song.

[size=1][color=dimgray]A cold night wind stirred at Dorian's coat, it was dark, the moon covered by thick clouds, but Dorian still kept his sunglasses on. The type of darkess he was used to made this look like dawn. The rythem of his steps were smooth as he walked. [b]"Damn, why did Eddie have to be so strait foward, just because we know everyone of us from the prison has a power doesn't mean we can't execute a little tact, oh fuckin well though."[/b] Dorian thought, his eyes drinking in the darkness.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Hmmm what I'd really like to know is what connects us, age maybe? No to many variables there, maybe where we are from...... that's pretty unlikely too. Power if the Zodiacs, Zodiacs, Zodiac! If that commercial was right, it might have to do with our birthdates, I'll have to ask Eddie about this."[/b] Dorian reasoned out, glancing up to catch a small sliver of the moon shining through.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"So far everyone's power seems elementally based, except mine, Dani's and maybe Juliet's....., Eddie has ice, water sign, whoever was shaking the ground is probably an earth sign, Charles gave Dani some nasty burns, fire sign, that one girl shot that stream of water. Damn, what the hell is going on."[/b] Shaking his head Dorian turned up the street leading to his condo.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b][i]"What lies beyond tomorrows horizon, what fate is in store with each step I take."[/i][/b] Dorian whispered taking one last glace at the moon as the clouds parted before he stepped into his house.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]OOC: Many apologies on such a short and lame post, but I wanted to put something down since I was absent for so long. Anyways, I should be able to get on more soon since we are getting a new comp and I can probably move this one down into my room, so that should help.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Hey everyone, just writing to let you know I'm still alive. Sorry I haven't posted, been a crazy week, I work retail so thanksgiving gets nuts and I work long hours. And then it didn't help I bought FF12 and have been spending hours with my eyes glued to a tv screen for a change. Anyways I'm off to post right now. *runs off*[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=gray]It really depends because burns can vary greatly, and then it seems certain people heal faster than others. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]I burned both calves of my legs back in April, 2cd and 3rd degree burns. I was able to go to a really good burn unit that we have fairly close by, but all in all it took me about 3 months to get skin back. Though the skin was paper thin and very sensitive, (still is). I am very fortunate though, one I healed extremely quick for my case, the doctors were quite impressed, and two I have a very small amount of scarring, though it still comprises a large part of my legs.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]My friend and I allready planned this out, ya know just in case, the unlikely event it does happen.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]First think we're gonna do is get a car or two and go 'borrow' guns from a few pawn shops, making out way to the mall. There is a sporting goods store there and we can pick up more guns and ammo, there is also one across the street. Well down the street is a Wal-mart, and we'll hit that up for more guns and ammo, food too. Well now we head back up, and pick up some swords from a local knife shop and then go bust into Rite Aid to set up our home base (I would have said wal-mart, but it's big, harder to defend). From there we go save some women and head up into the mountains to this cave and re-populate. And if all else fails go out in a blaze of glory, killing myself before I turn into a zombie. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Why? Zombies are gross and such, I like to be pretty lol, and the just are too social, I need my space I don't want to roll around in a 50 deep horde. Plus zombies are kinda not smart too. Infact the only way I'd ever join the zombie ranks is if I could be a pigmy zombie like in the Mummy 2. Thought if there is ever hordes of vampires or werewolves, I'm joining them like that. o_O[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Just because of this thread I think I might go play Resident Evil.[/color][/size]

[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Hmmm maybe, let me get a drink first, hey barkeep, can a get a Kamikaze and let me see one of those little umbrellas."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"What the hell you gonna do with an umbrella?"[/b] Eddie asked raising an eyebrow questioningly.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"You'll see, well not really, but you'll see."[/b] Dorian calmy replied as the young bartender set the umbrella and the drink down, his eyes settling on Dorian replying 'here you go'.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][i]"Just like I thought, he was the delivery boy at the station, and he isn't the only person that was there...."[/i] Dorian thought to himself glancing over at an very attractive woman, who's voice matched the Juliet from the cells. She stood up paying the barkeep and started to walk towards the door.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Leaving the umbrella on the bar Dorian stood up starting to say [b]"My power is...."[/b], then everything when black, not dark but black, so dark shadows don't exist, light is engulfed and extinguised leaving nothing but the black grip of darkness. The blackness only lasted for a few seconds before everything returned to normal, or at least close enough. Several of the light had burnt out, others had exploded, only one light remained flickering dimly.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Sitting back down he overheard people murmering about a strang power outage, [i]"If they only knew,"[/i] he muttered under his breath, glacing over his shoulder to see, the woman named Juliet looking around the room, a paper umbrella tucked behind her right ear like a flower. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Turning back to Eddie he took a gulp of his Kamikaze, [b]"That is my power, I can't use it for too long though, if I do it tends to drive people insane, I think people like us might be less sensitive to it or immune, but it's just a guess....."[/b][/color][/size] [b][size=1][/size][/b] [size=1][color=green]OOC: Sorry about the short, crappy post, I'm kinda sick and my mind doesn't want to function.

[left][size=1][font=Tahoma][color=dimgray][b]Name:[/b] Dorian Lucavi[/color][/font][/size][/left] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Age:[/b] Turned at the age of 21 during the 16th Century.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Gender:[/b] Male[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Race:[/b] Vampire[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Alliance:[/b] Vampiric Alliance[/color][/size] [color=dimgray][/color] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Description:[/b] [url="http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24701"]Here[/url], Dorian stands at about 6 feet even, though not extremely tall he seems to loom over most people. His muscle is dense but lean underminding his true strength. He is very vain about his appearance and is always in a suit of either black or gray. Dorian's pitch black hair, blue eyes and pale skin give him a unique appearance. Black leather gloves adorn his hands usually covering the ring on his right middle finger. The only other piece of jewelery he wears is an platinum ank pendant.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Weapons:[/b] Dorian has been know to use 2 silver chukris for his main means of combat. Though he also utilizes two flint lock pistols, impractical, but ellegant in aestetics and quite damaging when succesful. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Specialist Skills:[/b] The gift of the unseen has manifested itself into Dorain throught his many years. He is able to blend into crowds and shadows with ease. Also he is a gifted fencer, though he has given up carrying a Rapier, seeing as it's large and rather hard to conceal, though sometimes utilizes one when on a specific task.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Personality:[/b] Will Edit[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Short Bio:[/b] Will Edit[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Notes: [/b]Will Edit[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]I planned on finishing more, but I have been sick all day and I can't quite think strait, I'll piece the rest of it together tomorrow, ill or not.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray][b]?Do you think there are many more like us??[/b] Eddie asked. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"You assume too much."[/b] Dorian replied with a smirk, though it faded to a frown as he continued [b]"I don't think it would make much sense if there where a few, maybe not a lot but a decent about, and I'm positive Dani is one of 'us'."[/b] Dorian finished adding a rather cynical tone on the word us.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Geez"[/b] Eddie shook his head at the emphasis on us, muttering under his breath in spanish. [b]"So what makes you so sure about Dani, not to doubt you, I was thinking about him as well, but what makes you so sure?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Just a feeling that I got when he touched me, not something I'd care to feel again, but I don't think he was expecting it either"[/b] Dorian's voice came to a slow halt, his memory remembering the flash of pain and agony that swept over him, but with that flash came a name, Dani. [b]"I think it's safe to say Juliet has powers too, the way she handled Dani."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"You might be right, anyways we're here."[/b] Eddie spoke, his tone going from serious to some what merry.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Dorian listened as Eddie put the car in park, he could hear the gears lock as the car sat still. Opening his door the he stepped out taking a deep breath of the fresh air, [i]"Damn it will feel good to open my eyes and actually see."[/i] Dorian thought, slightly opening one of his eyes, but shutting it quickly at the brightness of the world. Eddie's footsteps echoed around the car as he walked over putting his arm around 's[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Dorian's neck. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Ok lets go."[/b] The man said as he settled his arm stepping foward, Dorian following in stride.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"So what are you're powers frosty?"[/b] Dorian smirked again, almost laughing.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Frosty eh, well you gotta be able to see them first."[/b] Eddie replied smoothly as he opened the door.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Leading Dorian up to the counter Eddie said[b] "So do I need to pick them for you or would you rather choose at random?"[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Eh, just pick one for me to try on, from there I can pick my own."[/b] Dorian replied, leaning on the counter.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]He heard Eddie talking to the clerk, talking rather enthusiaticly, but Dorian could make out what they were saying over the music. He started to hum to the mellow beat, an old habit when Eddie returned placing the glasses in his hand with a brief [i]'here'[/i].[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Putting the shades over his eyes, Dorian looked around, not perfect but much better, at least he could see, even if stuff was still brighter than his usual shades. Turning around he looked in a mirror and almost threw the glasses off. They were pink leopard spotted shades with a deep purple lens. Turning he looked at a smiling Eddie, and a giggling female clerk. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"The pink's not bad but the leopard print is totally off."[/b] Dorian replied cooly walking past Eddie to a case of Spy brand classes behind him. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]It didn't take Dorian long to choose a pair of Grey Spys with pitch black lenses. Walking out of the store, he turned to Eddie, [b]"Thanks for the ride, care to go out for a drink, as a thank you? And you still gotta show me those powers of yours, eh frosty."[/b] Dorian finished with a laugh.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Well my original username was shadowofdeath13, 13 being my lucky number, and the shadow of death bit, just coming from the odd love I have for dark things. Albiet if you ever looked at me, you'd never be able to tell. You could pretty much say I was just 15 and wanted something that sounded cool.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]My current username has alittle more meaning behind it and a story as well. Well I love sayings, words and quotes, especially in other languages, latin being one of my favorites. I am also slightly into astrology, well I found a shirt one day shopping that had a picture of the scales on it, and me being a Libra thought I should have it. Well along with the scales the is a saying on the shirt, [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]"Veritas, Know your path"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I originally thought that Veritas might be Latin for Libra or scales. Sooo, being the geek I am, I decided to find out, and lo and behold Veritas was Latin for Truth. I had allready was thinking about changing my username and going back and forth between names, so I decided to add Veritas on the list. Well I asked Sakura for her oppinion on which I should choose, and she chose Veritas, so about a week or two later when I stopped being lazy Veritas I became.[/color][/size]

OOC: Sorry it's taken me soo long to post, life's a tad bit crazy at the moment. [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"So do you want me to give you a ride or not?"[/b] Eddie asked.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Yeah sure, just take some where to get some sunglasses, I'll be good from there, I don't want to make you cart me around."[/b] Dorian replied, opening his eyes a bit and looking at the dark blob that was probably Eddie.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Ok, we gotta walk back to my car, but it's not to far away."[/b] Eddie said gently placing an arm around Dorian. It was the only way to lead him really without looking like lovers holding hands, though something was off, Eddie's arm was cold, almost as if it was ice.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Thanks, I appreciate it"[/b] Dorian glanced back at the police station as they walked away, using his powers the lights in and around the police station exploded as it was engulfed in darkness for an instant. [i]"Not enough to make them crazy, serves 'em right though"[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Whoa did you see that? Er, guess not, some crazy clouds blocking the sun or something."[/b] Eddie asked Dorian, but realizing his eyes were still shut tight. The men walked in an akward silence, Dorian's steps quick and graceful despite his lack of sight, his other senses had adapted rather well since his powers manifested.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][i]"Dani...."[/i] Dorian thought forming a mental image of the man in his head, remembering the feelings and thoughts that appeared when Dani slapped him. [i]"Dani hopefully I don't see him again, if he can be civil we're cool, but I don't think he'll ever be civil, so I'll just consider him a problem, why not after the hell he put me throught..... everyone though, respect begits respect, show none, get none."[/i] Dorian thought the sound of the city, and their footsteps, steadily rising and falling.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]It was Eddie that broke the silence first. [b]"So how long have you had this eye problem?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Since I was a kid, I developed a form a retina scaring that makes my eyes extremly sensitive to light, but I can see extraordinarily well in the dark, that is unless I have sunglasses, but even then I still struggle during the day."[/b] Dorian lied taking each step gracefully, at a quick pace, his other senses had adapted well since his powers manifested.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Oh that sucks, I guess you were never 'fraid of the dark though"[/b] Eddie replied turning Dorian down a street, though he was still very light with his contact, almost like he was afraid to touch.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Wouldn't say that, so you always this cold?"[/b] Dorian asked, raising an eyebrow with his eyes still closes, a rather odd expression, A sudden breeze whirling around them, causing a slight tingle in Dorians spine.[/color][/size] OOC: Sorry it's such a short crappy post, it's kinda hard to post in detail when you character can't see. It just all seems to be talking or thinking, but soon enough he'll be back in the world of darkness :p.
