Hopespring on "Lethal Agents" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=560#post-9713 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:17:56 +0000 Hopespring 9713@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ Dyrim trudged down the stairs from the second floor, trying to massage the kinks out of his neck without dislodging his treecat companion from his shoulder. He'd just spent the last three hours with Silver going over the finer points of his latest manuscript - and this was after spending most of the day, and the two days before that, hauling set pieces around in preparation for the upcoming performance in the Bard wing. By this point, he was very much looking forward to getting back to the school. Naturally, this was when he finally noticed the uncomfortably packed crowd of people on the lower floor, turning the path to the most logical - and socially acceptable - egress into an unmanageable labyrinth of constantly shifting bodies. Unwilling to brave the bulk of the crowd, with all the inevitable invasion of personal space and potential for unfortunate occurrences like trodden-on toes or an accidental knife in one's ribs, the bard decided to skirt the edges of the room. He had only managed to squeeze himself a few yards down the wall when he found his path obstructed by a fair-sized table of merchandise that had for some reason been tucked away in a dank, miserable corner of the building. Lanas the Singer on "Writer's Circle" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=80&page=2#post-9712 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:30:32 +0000 Lanas the Singer 9712@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ Hm, this topic seems to be a bit dis-liked, or why nobody post anything here anymore? I know it take some time to scribble a good-sounding story, but that alone can't be the reason, or? Well, why not a short shot to fill the topic? So, read... It was was a bit late, when Reidh walked down the stairs to the Kitchen. Assany and Crystor already wait for him with breakfast, and a short tought of blame strikes him. He never managed it to stand up soon in the morning. Without saying a word, he sit down the kitchen table, and wait for his meal. Crystor take place next to him, and Assany start to serving. Reidh was in terms of eating, as down in the courtyard somebody start to make rampage. Unpleased by the disturbance of his breakfast, Reidh walked to the window and looks out: down in the edge of the Courtyard a Man and a Woman stuck in a heavy disargument, and the Court-Keeper Roland tried unsuccessful to divide them. Reidh moving his Axles and want to sit down again, as a guard appears in the door to the floor. "Fhir, we've get a Poblem, Fhir." "What's it, can't see I'm eatin'?" "Yeff, Fhir, but the Problem iff Feriouff, Fhir!" "Gnaaaah..." Some Minutes later, Reidh, Crystor and Assany stand down in the Courtyard and waiting for the explanation of the problem. The both Peasants who was arguing were forced for Reidh and his compagnions. "So, what's happened?", Assany asked the both. Instead answering, the both glanced badly to another. Reidh raises his Axles, then stepped forward, take both on her shoulders and heave them in the air. "Okaay, if you both don't talk immed'ly, I shake you both so long that you flushy thing comes out the backtails, clear?" he said in a friendly tone. The both people loose a bit colour. But then the Man start speaking. "It, it was her fault, really Lord! I was in the stronghold to do my work, when she started to spit on my new Shoes!" "Not the thruth!", the Woman screams aggressive, "Don't trust him, Lord! He was on the start! He tried to grab me on not suitable places of my body without question! I had to knock him back to ensure my personal safety!". "Oh my, not that again.", Crystor tought by himself. Reidh set them back on the ground. "Aah haa, so are here some Witnesses for that case?", he asked in the crowd, but nobody responds. "So we get the classic case.", he continues on, "And what we do in the classic case? Yes, how I awaited, nobody knows, yeah? So, I leave it on my friend here to explain.". Reidh pointed on Crystor, who immediately blushed. "So, Guys, listen. Because everybody pretend on the fault of the other, there is a simple conclusion: both Personas are in equal guilty, so both have to earn the obligatory retribution: Take your backs on the cross side of the court, do your business and, most important, be quiet the last of the day! Or my friend Reidh will solve your problems on his way, and nobody want that! So, any questions? Good. Now go." Returned in the Kitchen, Reidh ponders about the 'serious' problems of many people and why they have to deal every time with them. Crystor raises his eyebrows. "It is the principle of live, you know: When the people have something to argue about, it can't be that bad with the kingdom." "Strange. I always thought, in happy kingdoms People wouldn't argue about such trivial things." "No, no, no, Reidh. The opposite takes place: When you be happy, you have always more time to disagree with trivial things. That's law. Or why do you think the king always complaints about the orcs, that were bigger in past, that dragons still missing their duty and don't be a threath for the kingdom and the dues are too low for his opinion? That's the problem of happy kingdoms: they have nothing to be unhappy with. So keep in mind, Reidh: You have sometimes to be unhappy, or you lose sense for that was happiness is at the core. So. Can I eat now?" And this was the whole story...

In this context, the plea is heroic, because she's reaching for help only after doing all that she is able. Or, of course, there's the slightly more obvious interpretation that the whole arrangement is orchestrated merely to appeal to the male protective impulse. Which still leaves it moderately awesome, if not exactly heroic. Health to the Company reminds me of the old scout camp song We're All Together Again, although longer, and more poetic. Still, whether the sentiment is 'we may die tomorrow' or simply 'we may never meet again,' I think the ability to find joy in the face of imminent separation is a heroic attribute.

Concentrating on the deep, dark shadows, a pair of glooming eyes appear in the darkness. A second later, a obscure Creature step out of the Darkness. She wears a cheap leathercoat and hide her face behind a cotton mask of poor quality, but obviously, it is a She (well, sometimes). Her eyes scan the vicinity and stop at the Dead Parrot. Some Moments nothing happens, but in a blink of a minute, a well performed jump dirigate the Person down to the ground level. She enters the Dead Parrot, take a view, and the sit down the next free place to the door. And watching. Where is Smyrn? Smyrn 'Blasthorn' haste trough the streets, followed by some not-so-friendly guys. The Hunt had taken some time, but this may be his smallest problem. If he don't reach in time... With a wide jump he travels the distance over a Cart with some barrels upon it that actually move across the side street, which gives him some time to cover in a dark corner. For his luck, his hunters pass him without acknowlegde him, so he get lost of their track. When the angry yellings of the bandits fade away, Smyrn step out of his hide-out and look around. to his suprise, the reclame of the Dead Parrot glows not far away. "Whohow, looks like i've got it in time.", he think by himself. Then Smyrn 'Blasthorn', the Minotaur, start moving in direction of the Pub. jamesstarrunner on "Garlic and avocado sandwiches" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=475#post-9696 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:38:59 +0000 jamesstarrunner 9696@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ Surprisingly good.

Which Mora? There's Mora of Illys with her demon familiars, and then there's Mora the Beleaguered, who never could manage to keep the local cheetaurs out of her aviary. Oh, and Mora Sunthannan... except that I don't think she had anything to do with cats - evil or otherwise - on account of her unfortunate allergies. And the 112 pages of math makes me rather glad that I picked up that elementary-level textbook a couple years back.

However, I would caution that adopting a persona to alleviate the stress of the job, does not make you any less responsible for what you are doing. Mookah on "Masks" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=570#post-9686 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:14:45 +0000 Mookah 9686@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ I think it's important to note that removing the ego can also protect it. Sometimes, hero work gets dirty, and we want to forget about what we had to do in order to protect people or create good in the world. (Consider the number of social workers who need therapy simply from being unable to save the entire world.) If that identity comes off with the mask, we don't need to worry about it while we're off of work. It's a symbol: what I had to do then was that guy. Now I'm this person here, so I can live my life, rejuvenate myself. Are we also considering those masks which are meant to transform identity here? The disguise kit, the sacred mask used to invoke the gods to borrow one's body, the halloween mask? If so, they strike me as useful for bards, in particular, to speak different messages from the mouths from which they would be best received. Rogues can, of course, use them to conceal themselves in a situation as well. Paladins can use masks to identify themselves as leaders and saviors, and wizards can use masks to signal when they enter or leave a mystical state.

Not sure what to do, and with the imprisoned lifeforms in his stomach, he decided to saw some terror on the city he was in. With a forceful blast he crushed the wall and frees himself. After this, his forebody moves up in the Air to gain a look about this strange city he landed in... Awhile in the well-known unknown Crypt: The Wizard moves up and down impatiencally. The demon works and works and it looks like he will never come to an end. This Shadow Demons, useful but hard to control, are sometimes more an obstacle than a helping tool. The Wizard stares on the door. He has the advantage over other dark Magicians that he doesn't relied on a time-specific ritual, but else, he don't want to grew old until he will be able to open that portal. He turns back to some sort of Vision Mirror he use to overlook the situation. It shows the demon, which start to rampage trough the city. A minute or two he look at the effords of the demon to destroy max of the city as possible, than its enough. The Wizard turns to his Servant, which hides in the shadow and give him the order: "Eygor!! Bring me my spellbook! I've got better things to do, than looking after that childish Beast-o-whatever!". And in Gloriana: The Demon continued with destroying the Mayor's marble Statue on City Plaza, as a relyable force pull away him from his target. Angry roaring, because not willing to stop his destructive work, the force grows stronger and stronger until the Demon can't hold back anymore. With a incredible sharp cry of anger and pain, the Beast vanishes, let behind a scene of destruction and two lifeless bodies... Bane on "The Portal to another World" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=294&page=3#post-9681 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:27:58 +0000 Bane 9681@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ The School was always a good place for business. The Heroes would always be eager to buy all sorts of common everyday items at a reasonably large markup. Those adventurer types were always needing knick knacks, paddy whacks, and sometimes bones. Stanley was always glad for a brief foray at the school because it always meant that he made some sort of a profit. With the onset of a flash of light and a brief popping noise as a series of beings materialized instantly in the foyer, Stanley could only think one thing: customers! He quickly set up his Patently Portable Place of Purveyance (read: folding table) and launched immediately into a sales pitch. "Howdy folks, you look like you're in need of some Handy items. Some sort of interdimensional or even pan spatial travel seems to have befallen you. I recommend a compass to keep your bearings straight, maybe some dried frog pills to help with your memory since you can't seem to recall what's been happening. Or can I interest you in a genuine Nev-R-Sick bag for when those sudden shifts in reality really upset your stomach, heroes need to keep up appearances after all, nothing like being sick to cloud your judgment. No wait, I'm having a brain flash, what you need is my patented one hundred percent waterproof undergarments, no telling where you might end up, but nothing is quite as horrific as being soiled down there, through your own fear or just landing in a lake, know what I mean? Of course you do, you must be adventurers, why else would you be here? So, what can I get you folks?" One would swear that he didn't pause or take a single breath...or blink for that entire speech. If you had the capacity to think while your brain was assaulted by that high intensity salesmanship, then you have an iron will. Now is when Stanley takes a breath and looks over the assembled crowd eagerly, mentally rubbing his hands together in anticipation, not greed. Bane on "Lethal Agents" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=560#post-9680 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:21:33 +0000 Bane 9680@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ Stanley leaned on his counter looking out over the meager crowd that had gathered so far. Hmm...I may be able to sell two...no, three items tonight. This will be a new record. His Patently Portable Place of Patronage (more or less a collapsible table that he sells things off of) sat in the corner of the inn, the 'Nafty Astertase Authentic Merchandise' sign hanging only slightly askew. Various wares of memorabilia adorned the table: t-shirts, miniature lutes, signed oil paintings, etc. Stanley had only wandered into town a couple days ago, but thanks to his talents was able to quickly mass produce some high quality goods...that is, high quality as long as you don't really look at them in a good light with clear vision, the sort of goods perfect for people that would attend a concert. The trickiest part of this endeavor was being allowed the honor of setting up his table in the dark corner with the continual dripping noise and odd smell... honor? Damn Ferrari. Some people call ME a thief... So there Stanley sat, watching the crowd, waiting for the performance to start. 'I wonder if they will be not terrible' he thought to himself, when he noticed some rather unusual looking gentleman in the crowd. They had the appearance of money, like they had actual money, a rather unexpected sight in a place like this. His mind then turned to new and exiting economic calculations involving cost to product ratios and interest exchange rates... jamesstarrunner on "Masks" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=570#post-9679 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:37:12 +0000 jamesstarrunner 9679@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ True, but one must still make an awesome mask. One wouldn't want to be seen in a poorly designed face covering. :wink:

There were a lot of shady people in the area to be certain. There had to be some evil to thwart, maybe a slaver that needed to be taught a lesson. Time to stay in the area for awhile and make a temporary home of the place. Suddenly, his stomach began to growl. Time for a bite. The muscular katta walked into the first place he found that served food, the Dead Parrot. He found a band setting up for a performance inside. He never got to enjoy any music in most of his life. It would be quite pleasing if they were any good. Wordlessly, he took a seat and signaled to be served. Bane on "Masks" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=570#post-9676 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:14:03 +0000 Bane 9676@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ Surprise, I've been thinking about things, more specifically masks and/or anonymity in general. Of all the hero types, rogues seem to be the most inclined to mask use. So, I have some thoughts. In most cases a mask is used to protect the identity of the person wearing the mask. Anonymity is the friend of the rapscallion and the high profile hero who doesn't want his family to be dragged into a villain feud. This seems to be the standard norm for mask use. I now offer a different reason for wearing a mask. Yes, it is still for anonymity, but it is not to protect yourself or your loved ones. It's about ego. Ego, arrogance, narcissism, etc. etc. I've been pondering ego a lot lately (partly because I have a big one) and the mask acts as a barrier to your ego. Ideally, I see the mask as a tool to aid in your anonymity. I like the idea of a hero doing a good deed simply for the sake of the good deed itself (hmm, that sounds like Kant) rather than for some of the praise that good deed would bring him/her. The actions of the hero are what makes them heroic, and they should speak for themselves. Most rogues, when we do things, no one even realizes we did something heroic. I like that. I don't care if I'm known for doing something, I just care that the deed was done well. so I see the mask as a helpful tool to help me remove my ego from the equation and just get the stuff done.

The katta, Jaesguamarj. Though others typically call him Jaes. To which class do you belong? Warrior. What do you look like? What do you usually wear? <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/jaguarstarrunner/JaesandJoy3tiny.jpg"> Jaesguamarj (Jaes) on the left, Joyalranu (Joy) on the right. This picture is to show the scar and slave mark under his clothing. He usually wears a light dusty gray tunic without sleeves and a red sash around the slave mark. Remind me to redraw these two. It's been a few years. What are some things you have in your pockets? If he had any, they were ripped out. Jaesguamarj typically just carries his greatsword and a bow that would take the strength of a rhino to pull. How would you describe your personality? Jaes speaks little and offers less about himself. It's usually strike first, ask questions with a sharp, toothy growl after. What is your history? Raided by slave drivers when he was young, the woman and children of his village were rounded up to be slaves while the men were executed. His mother and himself sold to a thieves guild leader, Jaesguamarj saw many unsavory and ruthless things in his youth. Over the years of hard labour, Jaesguamarj grew in psychical strength as his mother grew weaker from overwork. When their owner was dissatisfied with Jaes' mother, the owner had her beaten. It was eventually too much for her and she died from her injuries. Jaesgaumarj's mind snapped. Ignoring the severe penalties of disobedience, Jaesguamarj attacked his owner, killing him. The victory wasn't without harm though as Jaesguamarj was nearly cut in two by the villian's greatsword. Jaesguamarj survived with a nasty scar and a bitter attitude to any slavers. Taking the greatsword as his own, Jaesguamarj the katta goes out to adventure. Special Talents/Abilities? Jaesguamarj isn't book smart, or witty, but he hits hard. He's got magical disorder... or rather... unmagical. Jaes is 'magically dead'. He cannot cast magic even if learned, but he's highly resistant to magic if cast at him. It's a double-edged sword though as he can't be buffed by magic as well. Any other minor characters associated with you, such as a familiar? Joyalranu is a friend Jaesguamarj met after he liberated himself. She's concerned for his well being and state of mind. She's an experienced mage who specializes in combat magic... almost an exact opposite of Jaesguamarj.

He seemed to still be alive. Heaving his tremendous bulk up into a sitting position, he glanced around at his surroundings. It was a familiar sight, although one that Sid had not seen in a long time: The front foyer of The School for Heroes. A handful of gawkers gaped at the odd crew of strangers which had suddenly appeared before them. Sid breathed a sigh of relief. Here, he thought, they'd be safe for a while. He righted his chair and slid in, adjusting the blanket on his lap. "Alright," he said to his companions. "Looks like we're safe for the time being. Now who's here? And who's still alive?"

And now in a world where people are playing games where it's "cool" to be evil, to murder, and desecrate... People don't think true heroes can exist anymore. At the very least you HAVE to be some sort of anti-hero because the true good hero just can't exist. I think what the Coles have done here stands as a testament to others that you can do good just for the sake of being good. There doesn't have to be an underlying purpose, no pay involved... We do good simply because we like to be good. jamesstarrunner on "Source: "Comes a Hero from the East..."" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=549#post-9669 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:55:04 +0000 jamesstarrunner 9669@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ Probably it's just the one who made the counter-curse just being modest and not trying to attract attention to themselves. jamesstarrunner on "Heroic Songs" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=558#post-9668 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:51:37 +0000 jamesstarrunner 9668@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ I'm going to look into some of these songs. I could always add a few more to my collection. :3 Hopespring: Actually, I have to admit I like 'Never Gonna Give You Up' as well. To be honest, I'm pretty clueless as to why trolls use it a lot. Heheh... I've got a lot of other songs I play for my stories and drawings as well. Need different songs for different moods after all. Bane: Ya, looks like 'Holding Out for a Hero' is a popular one. I've always envisioned a damsel in distress calling me for help when I hear that song though. I'm actually making a story board to make an animated music video with my wife's and my characters. It's going to be epic. :3 As for 'Health to the Company', I never heard it yet, but I think I understand what you mean. I believe it's similar to a viking mentality. Probably not exactly what you had in mind, but similar. To them, it's better to better to face fear and die rather than to give up. jamesstarrunner on "OOC: A Collection of Characters" http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/topic.php?id=47&page=6#post-9667 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:28:36 +0000 jamesstarrunner 9667@http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/studentcenter/ Who are you? James StarRunner To which class do you belong? Paladin. Started career as a Wizard. What do you look like? What do you usually wear? <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/jaguarstarrunner/james_lily.jpg"> Add some blue trousers and hiking boots and that's about it. What are some things you have in your pockets? Lint, and the occasional "Oh, that's where I put that generic item"! If anything, James is going to carry most of his belongings in his backpack. How would you describe your personality? Easygoing and when the opportunity presents itself, a wise-cracker. Other than that, he's dedicated at what he puts his mind to and has been known to push himself to the point of passing out and in a way it's way he's afraid of drowning in banana pudding... But that's another story. What is your history? James lived what HE thought was a normal life. His parents worked on and kept many clockwork devices in the home. It wasn't uncommon to lose an eyebrow due to an alchemical experiment gone awry (always happened when mixing foxphorus and chickenium). He didn't find out he could wield magic until his early teens. It took some hard work to catch up with the others his age, but with his brilliant mind (and sometimes awkward outside-of-the-box methods), he caught up with them and exceeded many expectations. During the occasional troubles happening in his school, he would often be one of the first to respond, putting himself in the line of fire to protect others. Often he would try to quell any fighting before it started. James would also be quite generous with his meager and limited belongings. This did not go unnoticed and the elven Paladin, Yuanamo ArcticWind took James under his wing and taught him what it meant to be a paladin. Now armed with a big blue flaming sword he's hardly used and a winged blue squirrel familiar who often tells him to study more, James heads out into the world. Special Talents/Abilities? James never did get used to the typical 'firepower' that a mage possessed. Going outside-the-box, James tweaked the flame bolt into a cool blue frost bolt. Becoming a paladin early on, James has only had time to learn the basic spells with a the more advanced ones being protective. Now a newly initiated paladin James can sense evil, heal himself and his allies, and light up his new paladin sword, "FrostBite". Besides his affinity with frost, James has a peculiar... gift. Until he knows how to control it better, his body changes form into that of a katta when under great stress. Besides the magical aspect, his more mundane abilities include a rudimentary knowledge of machinery and alchemy... and a lot about squirrels, especially flying blue ones that like to throw exploding acorns. Any other minor characters associated with you, such as a familiar? Besides the Yuanamo, the elven paladin, I have many characters that I may refer to, but will not likely show. Only the blue squirrel familiar will regularly make an appearance. He seems to have a huge arsenal of hidden acorns on him, many of which explode. How and where, James doesn't even know... The squirrel's name is... Squirrel. And Squirrel is a little bitter about that. But lately has taken to the nickname, Blue.
