Hello.

[Alembic]

Hello, everyone! I found the site last night and joined and created my character this morning. Link to the thread here (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=22056), if you're interested. I'm looking to get started but I'm unsure exactly how to do so. I don't have any particular plans for my character, so I could probably find a way to fit her into whatever sort of thread you'd like. Except she's not much of a fighter, so I suppose a battle-type thread isn't really feasible. Anyone interested, though?

Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm sure.

[Lord Anglekos]

And to you as well. Welcome to Althanas, Alembic. Hope you stay awhile.
If you have any questions, ask the people with italicized or bold and underlined names.

[Alembic]

Thanks, and I'll keep that in mind!

[Duffy]

Don't ask us, we don't know anything.

Ask the people with UBER SHINY names, yes yes, they are gods amongst men.

Welcome to Althanas most importantly :), enjoy your stay!

[Alembic]

Haha, okay. Thanks for the welcome!

[Enigmatic Immortal]

And the most important thing. If you're looking for someone to quest or RP with, you talk to

*flashes thumbs upwards and points to self*

THIS GUY!

[Alembic]

Is it bad that I just pictured you as the Fonz giving a double thumbs up? Haha.

I'll send you a private message.

[Scrotus]

Hey Alembic, welcome to the site and very nice profile you got there.

[Atzar]

Don't ask us, we don't know anything.

Ask the people with UBER SHINY names, yes yes, they are gods amongst men.

Welcome to Althanas most importantly :), enjoy your stay!

Except for me. I'm not helpful to anybody.

Welcome to Althanas!

[Alembic]

Thank you, Scrotus! What an unbelievably perfect name for making inappropriate innuendo towards.

Also, is that a capybara?

[Atzar]

Yep! It's my claim to fame on this board. Letho has won tournaments, Godhand is a troll, Duffy is British, and I'm the capybara!

[Alembic]

Sounds like that's everything I need to know, then.

Hey, liar. You said you weren't helpful! Stop deceiving me!

[Atzar]

Hahaha. If it's useless information you want... well, I'm full of that.

[orphans]

Hello and welcome to Althanas. ^ ^ I'm... yeah...

As for questing and things, it'll be awesome :D

I just need more free time away from work... and I actually might be getting more "overtime" hours that are mandatory so....... WE'LL SEE....

Edit: Just scream Atzar's name is despair if anything goes wrong. It'll make you feel better.

[Lord Anglekos]

Hey, liar. You said you weren't helpful! Stop deceiving me!
You'll find that this board is full of people who aren't what they say they are.
But, that should be obvious.
Again, welcome. I can see you're off to an excellent start; hi-yo Silver, away.
If ever you would like to roleplay together, I'm offering.

[Alembic]

Useless information? Why, that's my specialty. I have approximate knowledge of many things... (Bet no one gets that reference.)

Thanks for the welcome also, orphans! If I wake up with a capybara peeing on my carpet, I'll know who's name to scream, anyway. ATZAAAAAAAAAAR!

Wow, you're right, that was strangely satisfying.

And thanks again, Anglekos. I suppose if I get involved with these notorious Ixian Knight fellows we'll probably meet up at some point!

[Lord Anglekos]

Probably. Sooner or later, Sei will muscle you either into being involved, or affiliated, with us Knights. Although, I'm not sure how much longer I can play the part of the moral standout for society, seeing as my character's more...anti-heroic.
Originality's not my specialty.
You should take a look at Akashima, seeing as your character, if I read correctly, is a native of Corone. Yes, this is part of the save-Akashima movement. No, I don't really care how shameless it is.

[Alembic]

What is Akashima?

[Lord Anglekos]

Basically our equivalent to Japan. Though not utterly correct, it's the closest and shortest example I can use. It's a small place east of the Comb Mountains, sort of like a miniature nation-within-a-nation. It's also home to the nekojin, and creatures like the tengu and oni from Japanese mythology.

[Godhand]

Yep! It's my claim to fame on this board. Letho has won tournaments, Godhand is a troll, Duffy is British, and I'm the capybara!

omg a girl omg omg omg

[Atzar]

omg a girl omg omg omg

I was looking forward to your response. Welcome to the thread... rofl.

[Alembic]

Sounds cool, Anglekos.

And hello Godhand! Thanks for the welcome to the website and helpful advice. I look forward to rping with you too! You are too nice.

(also lol)

[Aiko]

if I get involved with these notorious Ixian Knight fellows

You might want to be careful about who, and what, you get involved with.

My associates and I have a problem with the IK. It's not that big a problem, their just out to destroy us, and anything like us. Either by killing us, or forcibly converting us to their ways. If we stood by and did nothing, they would destroy us all.

You should seek shelter with us. We're not bad people, just different, with different needs to survive. Is a fox evil because it must kill to survive? Is a sheep holy somehow, because it is the only foodsource availible to the fox? No, and most logical beings do not blame nature for following its course, so why paint us differently? We too, only follow our nature. We are as innocent as the fox.

And what of you? Your vanity and selfishness would certainly get you nowhere in a group of humble do-gooders like the IK. Your knowledge of demonology and summoning would likely bring trouble. I too know plenty about demons and how to summon them, yet if I tried to walk into the knights, I would feel most unwelcome, watched as though I were some sort of criminal. I'm not a bad person, a bit creepy at times, but certainly not bad. Infact, I dare say we're very similar, you and I. You know what they say about birds of a certain feather.

Well, this certainly isn't my pulpit to preach about a madman and his merry band of sheeple who will most certainly destroy the world if left unchecked, so allow me instead to make you an offer.

Join us, it's safe here, in the darkness away from the IK. Allow me to take you places and show you things that will take your demonology to unrivaled heights. Let me introduce you to my mother, but everyone calls her Pride. She's a very nice woman, who will help you understand that vanity and selfishness aren't negative personality traits, merely aspects of a different, better personality. She'll help you bring that better personality to the surface, and why not, you deserve it. The IK will tell you that this is a trick, a trap, but what tricks and what traps can lay in ordinary words? I merely extend a claw in friendship. Let me help you make some real friends. All we ask, is that you lend your strength to ours, that we may truly rally our forces to stop the Ixian Knights and their schemes.

[Alembic]

That was a long post, but Aiko makes a good point. Amelie isn't exactly a goodie goodie character, I'm not sure she'd want to be involved with the Knights.

...Possible villain later on, though? Maybe.

[Aiko]

Well, we'll still be here, and I'll be watching. When your ready, I'll be there for you.

[Silence Sei]

Hmmm...Aiko,....where have I seen that name before?

Where oh where oh where? (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=21681)

Have you still not realized that having me in the knights was the worst mistake you could have possibly ever made? It was the intervention of fate that made my efforts to join and take down the knights from the inside out fail. You are truly blessed, for I would have interfered with as many missions as possible, even helped the villains to escape. I would have been a dagger in your side, twisting with each new thread.

[Zerith]

You are truly blessed, for I would have interfered with as many missions as possible, even helped the villains to escape.

Correction. You would have tried, nothing more. Since it would have only been a matter of time till someone cut you down.

Though come on, bring your Lorenors and your Aikos. You'll all just meet the same fate. :P

(Meh, now that I'm done playing around. I'd like to say welcome too! It's always good to see new people register and start getting involved here.)

If you put half as much effort into your stories as you do romanticizing and flirting with other people you'd be so much farther ahead, Aiko.

Also, Alembic. Don't take too much stock into PG politics. PGs either implode or wander off to go die quietly. Your character's moral alignment really is essentially irrelevent since people do both good and bad things anyway. But, if you want to be like Prince Peckerwood here and be good or Johnny Devilcock with a raging hard on for evil, go for it. However, polarized morality doesn't really do a character itself any justice.

Oh, and I forgot. Welcome.

[Alembic]

Uhhh. Insofar as this thread is about me anymore, thanks for the welcomes!

I should have given the thread a more specific title.

example: THIS IS A THREAD ABOUT TALKING ABOUT HOW AWESOME ALEMBIC IS (everyone is required to post)

Specific!

[Elrundir]

I don't think you can get much more specific than this. :p At any rate, welcome to the site!

[Alembic]

Thanks, nice to meet you!

[Requiem of Insanity]

The ixian knights are not just full of goody gum drops and happy people and shining faces. There are the darker corners that Sei wouldn't like to mention...

Like me.

Though I do think it's cute Aiko how you think you are the world's most terrifying thing. Really, it's endearing. Please go on.

Hello, dear, and welcome to the site. I find your alchemy interesting and perhaps a few RP opportunities can arise from our two characters. Don't worry about the whole Serial Killer thing, It's nothing to be concerned with. And as always, enjoy your stay.

[Alembic]

Haha, thanks for the welcome also! EI warned me about you. >:|

We'll have to do a thread sometime for sure.

[Requiem of Insanity]

EI's a dick, and if anyone knows that they'll also shut up about secrets.

[Revenant]

Welcome!

Pull up a pen (keyboard?) and stay a while. And if you need any help, feel free not to ask Sei. We're not speaking to him right now.

:D

[Lord Anglekos]

My, seems you have a whole repertoire of volunteers, Alembic. Feeling at home, yet?

[Fatina]

The community seems to like you a lot, Alembic ^^. Don't get within eaching distance from some of them, they get hungry once in a while.


That was a long post, but Aiko makes a good point. Amelie isn't exactly a goodie goodie character, I'm not sure she'd want to be involved with the Knights.


I think you and I are gonna get just fine! :D -belated- Welcome to Althanas!

[Alembic]

Thanks, Revenant. I appreciate the Lovecraft quote in your signature, Cthulhu fthagn and all that. Heehee.

It's not that belated, Fatina, I just joined yesterday! But yes, I do appreciate how nice everyone is being. Seems like a good community. :)

[Amber Eyes]

Welcome to Althanas, I see everyone has let you know how crazy we all are.

Kyla is mostly a quest character as well if you would like to do something. She heads up the knights investigations team, but we can do something unrelated to the knights if you'd like. Once you wade through the previous offers if your still looking for something let me know!

Oh, and back off topic---Aiko, we have no issues with Lorenor's team, ya'll haven't actually done anything yet. XD

[Troubled-Crow]

Welcome to Althanas. Enjoy your stay and all that. :p

[Jack Frost]

Ah I too welcome thee Alembic (sorry if I ever misspell your name) Jack would probably find your character interesting. Feel free to Pm me if interested in a quest.

@ amber, we have three gisla style town attacks underway, and the releasing of a trapped town eating behemoth. Once done we will have achieved quite a bit.

[Silence Sei]

So that means the Knights will be rebuilding 3 minorly damaged towns, and Revenant will be on his way to slay a town eating behemoth? Thanks for the update.

[Zerith]

Sei, you forgot the part where we get to show up and stomp these attempted attacks into the ground before they cause any major damage.

Bring on the carnage.

[Alembic]

Thanks, Amber, Crow, and Frost. :) I'm sure I'll get around to writing with all these people eventually!

[SirArtemis]

I've been staring at this thread for days coming up with something witty to say in order to give my very own and unique welcome. Here it comes....

Thank you for flying Althanian Airlines. Will your stay be for business or pleasure?

I'M SO FUUNNNAAYYYY

[Alembic]

Unsatisfactory. Please try again after a three day waiting period.

[Tainted Bushido]

Somehow, just somehow I think you'll do fine here.

Welcome to Althanas.

[Jack Frost]

@ Sei *cough* power playing*cough* We're completely leveling the towns, and the behemoth is a pc. Also, cut it out with the "mind control" Bs. That's retarded regardless of you being a mystic. It's also bunnying and frowned upon by the rules you work to enforce.
P
Alembic, I look forward to writing with you!

[Elrundir]

Er, why is this discussion happening in her intro thread? ^^;; Rather than bantering about how it's going to turn out, you may as well put your writing where your... er... writing is.

[Alembic]

I have no idea what they're talking about, but whichever side sends me more cookies is automatically right.

[Rahegalhoff]

I have no idea what they're talking about, but whichever side sends me more cookies is automatically right.

*Gets the elves of the Kehbler clan, notorious in Raiaera for the delicious cookies coming out of their tree-fortress, to work in cooperation with the mysterious entity known only as "Grandma" also known for her delicious cookies, to send Alembic a Metric ton of cookies.*

But here's the twist, Raggy is for the IK, even if he's not in there, yet...

[Jack Frost]

Its a commonly known fact that the dark side has cookies....
