My question would be: Is it going to continue? 'Cause it wasn't continuing before the crash... but I'd really like to continue.

I tried ta sweet talk Kinnison into it yesterday, sent him the cached list of contestants and the last post from Alicia describing the 2nd round....his reply:

Kinnison:

Re: The Joust

Thanks for the info. I will get everything ready and start a quick round.

me:
I think he's trying to get some more info from Alicia first, her computer is now very unreliable, but Kinnison's always around, and knows how ta do all kinds of stuff with polls and such...so if he takes charge, we may get to watch some more chars DIE!!! Mwahahahaha!!!

I still have the list of who each character really is on Amaranthia.

ARGGIE!! yer a sweetheart, let's give Kinnison some time to get this together, if the contestants would register their char, and post their willingness to continue participating in this thread,that would get things goin'....
could ya pm those who are registered and give 'em a heads up, please???

OK, half of the participants have accounts here and I've PMd them to check-in here with their RP accounts.

Except Faereen...Faereen's already here

here's Alicia's last post about round 2 & a list of contestants:




2007/12/13
Our adventurersCategory: Brotherhood : Author:AliciaPosted: 8:10 am
Hear ye, hear ye! Those are the brave warriors that have taken the challenge!There is only one thing left to say - you did a great job with those characters! (posted in order they signed up)

1. Amora Enethil
GENDER: Female
SPECIES: Drow (Dark Elven)
AGE: 169 human years (Roughly 15 years old)ABILITIES:
a)Physical: Offensive and defensive telekinetic powers, and mindprobing abilities. She is also skilled at throwing weapons, and specializes in shurikens.
b)Magical: Also summoner who can communicate with animals, and also spontaneously generate creatures out of surrounding inanimate objects. (e.g. spawning fire creatures from lava, etc.)
c)Other: Agile and pretty hard to hit. Telepathy and ability to communicate with most creatures, magical or otherwise.
STRENGTHSecisive, impulsive, in control.
APPEARANCE:A young elven girl, barely on the brink of adolesence. Her skin is a very dark shade of purple, almost black, while her red eyes twinkle like rubies. Her hair betrays her age, because it is sandy white, like most young dark elves. She wears a white gown made out of bleached leather, and she also wears a brown belt with many shurikens and various potions hooked onto it. Around her neck is a necklace with an amethyst attached to it, a gift from her mother.
WEAKNESSES: Impulsive nature sometimes makes her act on instinct without much thought about the consequences. She can be fiery and hot-tempered sometimes, and childish at others, but mostly she tries to get along with people.Furthermore…Amora was born with telekinetic abilities, and she is also able to infuse her own magical energies and focused willpower into inanimate (but not dead) objects to bring them to life! She is also quite agile like most elves, but her childish nature is one of her many shortcomings.

2. Tryiat
GENDER: Female
SPECIES: Half-human, half- elfAGE: 16
ABILITIES:
a)Physical: Good with daggers
b)Magical: She commands minor sorcery, but it’s mostly in connection with her feelings; she has difficulty working it if it doesn’t arouse itself
c)Other: She has pretty good eye-sight, and can be fast when need be
STRENGTHS: Light, daggers, sorcery, earth
APPEARANCE. She’s not tall, about average height, light blue eyes and thick, brown hair.
WEAKNESSES: Fire, ranged weapons of any sort, swords, poison
FURTHERMORE: Tryiat was born to an Elvin woman and a human man; she lives in between the two cultures, able to command a little magic and some blade, but not too much either way. Most of her skill relies on being quick and luck.

3. Forest Gainsborough
GENDER: gender unknown
SPECIES: PlantAGE: 12 years old (seemingly) ABILITIES:
a) Physical: poisonous pollens, roots for whips, petals that attract the opponents, can blend with the environment or use camouflage...
b) Magical: can control plants, can use the power of earth, can shape shift and can use illusions.
STRENGTHS: the power of water, poisons, against surprise attacks, against powers that involves the sun.
APPEARANCE: Height: smallHair: White and long and has some kind of a standing hair on top... like a Hibiscus…Eye Colour: all black (no pupil)
WEAKNESSES: acids, wind, cursing and noise or anything irritating to the ear...
FURTHERMORE: a small, mysterious plant. Not really sure if a boy or a girl… Forest has sensitive ears and doesn’t really like noise… Forest came from a land called “Zonvelf” a land filled with plants… Forest only looks harmless and looks like another one of those plants, but when it attacks…it attacks! Forest looks 12… but no one is really sure with its age. Forest is quiet and loves to read books! He/she is kind of the serious type… but Forest acts more like a boy than a girl…. Forest uses his/her flower charms to attract the opponent and destroy the opponent. That’s one of his/her best moves. Forest is a Hibiscus, a flower that has a pistil and a stamen.

4. Mickey Mouse
GENDER: Male
SPECIES: Magical MouseAGE: 50+ yrs.
ABILITIES:
a)Physical: small, swift, & cowardly
b)Magical: elemental magic (all types)
c)Other: Army of Brooms, Mops, and Dust Pans
STRENGTHS: MAGIC!!!
APPEARANCE: see avvie & siggie (coming up)
WEAKNESSES: small, cowardly...
FURTHERMORE…Mickey can command an army of cleaning tools, particularly brooms...will dodge,duck, and try to escape attacks...can call all elements, unless he loses his magic hat...

5. Tenias Elmtree the third
GENDER: Male.
SPECIES: I am just your average exceptionally handsome and lovable Human being.
AGE: 24
ABILITIES:
a)Physical:My physical abilities...Now this list can go on.I’m quick, and no man or beast’ll lay a finger on me. And you see the dagger on my belt? Its not just for show.But I’ve also got one thing that no one can beat…My killer smile.
b)Magical:Magical abilities?Pick a card any card...Your card is the three of hearts.No? Two of hearts.No? Guess No magical abilities.
c)Other:What can I say? Besides being charming, lovable, handsome, brilliant and… uh… something else? I guess I’m kinda lucky.
STRENGTHS:My strengths… I think I need another page. The first would be my friendly personality. The next would be my ability to move quickly to avoid sharp objects and other things that hurt. I’m also pretty good with my dagger. Dang, my pens running out of ink, I guess I can’t finish this list.
APPEARANCE: Close your eyes and then imagine the perfect man… Then first ditch the overrated muscles. Then change the hair to be medium length blonde. Now extend the nose a bit more… A bit more… more… there! Now, wipe that serious look of his face and put my patented killer smile on there, oh, and put the rest of the face back.See how close to the perfect man I am.
WEAKNESSES:Weakness? Ha, An epic adventurer like me has no weaknesses.At least not that I’ll ever admit to, and if you spread this around I will DENY! DENY! DENY!Now, just between you and me I use a dagger for a reason. Swords can get heavy, and a little unmanageable for someone like me. Another one. . . For some odd reason I seem to get on the nerves of people a lot bigger than me. But I suppose that that’s why I’m good at getting out of the way of big, heavy, sharp objects.
FURTHERMORE…Sentences about me?The names Tenias, I’m single, an aries. I like long walks in the park, without the long walks part. Why I became an adventurer? Anything to avoid a real job.Hobbies?Doing stuff, such as pretending to be another person in another world. You know just the usual.

6. FaereenGENDER: Female
SPECIES: Humanoid
AGE: 17ABILITIES:
a)Physical: sees very well (20/20 up to 50 meters) equally in dark and light.
b)Magical: some basic healing spells, light based spells, shadow based spells, fire based spells
c)Other: her height changes with her mood.
STRENGTHS: Archery, sword-play, mind games(she doesn't consider this an ability since it's all with words... though it may be slightly magical.... kind of like a Jedi mind trick. won't use often since a gray area), and the sight.
APPEARANCE:Yellow irises(one with black specks on w/out). Her gaze is piercing all the time. Dark brown hair, a little past the shoulder, wavy but not curly. Tanned, olive skin tone. Slightly pointed ears, but not elongated like an elf's. 5'6-6 ft... depending on her mood.
WEAKNESSES: Water, wind, cold, dark thoughts
FURTHERMORE…Faereen takes nothing as it is. In her mind, she picks everything apart before accepting any thing of it. While her dress is not regal in any way, she often has the air of royalty. Her upbringing does not explain this either, as she was raised in an almost "backwoods" rural community. A ring, a necklace, the clothes she has on her, and a small pack are all she carries. The ring was her mother's and the necklace was given to her by a mysterious benefactor.

7. Lesedi
GENDER: Female
SPECIES: HumanAGE: 24
ABILITIES:
a)Physical: Enhanced speed, hearing, and sight; very agile; uses chakrams (sharp metal rings) in battleb)Magical: Skilled with illusions and hypnotism; uses light/white magicc)Other: None of note.
STRENGTHS:Light magic, hypnotism, and illusions in general are her strengths. Lesedi’s powers are at their strongest during the day due to her affiliation with the light (her name even means “light”). She is also quite fast and is skilled in the use of chakrams, of which she keeps two or three with her at all times.
APPEARANCE:The first thing one would notice when first seeing Lesedi is her whiteness. Everything about her is pale and light, from her eyes and hair to her skin to her clothes. It’s as if she was a statue cut from ivory and then made animate by the hand of a god. Her body is small and lithe, and her pure white hair is long and straight, hanging past her hips like a sheet of snow. Some of her white hair is pulled up into two small buns, one on each side of her head, and adorned with white ceramic beads. Her robes are equally white and embroidered with silver, and her sleeves drape over her arms and hands, flaring out widely from the elbows, while her jewellery is made from finely cut ivory from the tusks of an ancient animal, long extinct. On her feet are white, heeled shoes. Overall, Lesedi possesses a rather odd appearance, but nevertheless, she is quite beautiful – ethereal, almost – and is able to catch many a mortal’s eye.
WEAKNESSES:Lesedi relies mostly on her magic and speed, but she lacks brute force. Much of her power is weakened during the night with the exception of her illusions – the dark actually helps make the illusions more real unless the other person has the ability to see in the dark (if they do, then the illusion has the same effect as on a regular person during the day).
FURTHERMORE…Lesedi is an immortal being, although she is able to be killed by weapons and sickness. Living for as long as Lesedi has, she has become quite self-sufficient and views the world differently than a mortal would. She sees petty mortal problems as not her own and prefers not to become involved in them, unless they directly concern her. Time, after all, is meaningless to her. However, occasionally a mortal comes along who is able to tug at her heartstrings and convince her to help them. For the most part, though, she remains unconcerned, calm, and collected, and prefers to mind her own business.

EDIT:8. Lemmai
GENDER: Female
SPECIES: ElfAGE: Unidentified
ABILITIES:
a)Physical: Pheromone to attract opponents and make them do anything I want, shape shift’s into a cat
b)Magical: Cursing, magic
c)Other: Flying, clairvoyance, dancing, singing
STRENGTHS:AirAppearance: elf (pointy ears, really cute, average size), eye colour : purple, Hair Colour : Red Orange
WEAKNESSES: hot tempered, cute boys, being insulted specially her ears, being called a dwarf, being called ugly
Furthermore:Lemmai is an elf from the country of THE ELVEN KINGDOM, on planet NEPTUNE. She’s highly dangerous and can curse anyone she wants and when she wants it. She also uses magic for she is a magical creature. She is a well known dancer in the whole universe and comes from a bloodline of dancers too. She is very patient and very sarcastic. She likes torturing other people. She is a clairvoyant and she has deadly eyes. Her blood colour is blue green and when it spills on you, little faces that looks like her appears on every drop that it spilled on.

I'm here... I think this is where I'm supposed to post.

HI Tryiat!!
yep, here, until Kinnison gets a Brotherhood Joust thread ready, let's give 'em a bit ta do a good job....
since Mickey Mouse got disqualified, I'm gonna help out here rounding up stuff off of Google...

Those who qualified for the next round please gather here and form a group of two now

Tenias Elmtree wants all to know he'd never let down his loyal fans. He is more than willing to return to his place as the peoples hero.

He would have told you himself, but he's been on a journey to find Faereen since the disaster. He will be be relieved to hear that she is safe.

Ah, Tenias, my hero!! At last you have returned, and safely with Faereen.

Good, now if Arggie will be so kind as to keep an eye out for those RP'ers who have not yet re-registered, and notify them as they log in, Kinnison and I will try to organize this again, be a few days tho, so be patient.

@Kinnison - I get ta make the header graphics, right? I can do it this weekend, while we wait for our stray ones to arrive. You track down Alicia, and get the notes from 'er....tell 'er to spare 5 minutes to pm me if she has a chance.

(shoulda been guilded by now, I'm so bossy, lol!)



mourning my loss of 955 gold, j/k

Lesedi makes her way into the broken stadium, small clouds of dust rising around her feet with each step. The place looks half-abandoned but slowly, signs of life appear here and there, gradually re-building the arena's lost glory.

Lesedi chooses what's left of a seat, brushes away some dust and small pieces of rubble, and sits down, her legs and arms crossed. From this vantage point, Lesedi scans the area. The Brotherhood are rallying everyone together, and in the distance, she can see Tryiat.

"I was starting to get bored," she says quietly to herself, a hint of a smirk on her lips.

Welcome Lesedi! *tugs quill from behind ear, and adds her name to the contestant roster*

Ummm, must say you look ready for a fight!

The spectators hear rumors that the jousters are returning. They peek from behind the pillars to get a look. Yes their champions are gathering here. Silently they sit in the background, expectant and hopeful, that the games will soon begin anew.

Aww, Tenias, you were worried about me? How cute.

What do you mean a group of two? I thought we were doing something together as a group of four?

The arrangments will be made by Kinnison..he is unfamiliar with the plans until he gets a hold of Alicia, she romps about the web in other locations occasionally (Gaia, maybe?), he knows how to find her sometimes, but it may take a few days.
If anyone else sees her out there, please ask her to pop in here and contact Kinnison and I, it would expedite things for the continued Joust.
Also, we're still waiting for 3 other contestants to arrive, Forest, Lemmai, and Amora.
So hang tight while we round stuff up for ya.
Then danger will be afoot...

(Things may change a bit, too, that's up to our Joust Master, Kinnison.)

I'm back and available! Amora Enethil is always ready for the glory of battle!

Amora! good yer here..*notes her as present on the roster*

Master Kinnison requested I pm him, as soon as all contestants have returned, we are now waitin' for Forest and Lemmai.

LEMMAI is also Back. back from that long wait. oh how i've missed amaranthia. everytime i log into my computer, the first site i try to visit is this one and would find myself reading.. "the site is temporarily unavailable". but now, the castle, the village square, the collegium, aahh... i've seen it again.

@jousters: I, Lemmai the elf, had missed you all.
@mickeymouse: are you a member already? i missed talking to you buddy.

Those who qualified for the second round please PM me and report yourself through there. When everything's okay, I will be putting all of you up in groups of two.
