((Not to be a doubting downer, but I don't think we really need a wiki yet.  Omega Legion isn't really large enough that it's difficult to remember most everything, and I don't think we've reached the critical mass where it would be well maintained.  We don't have any of the people who made the ER wiki great, either.

Finally, not to dis Ozarck, but there's always the possibility that he'll eventually grow tired of Omega Legion.  It seems like he puts more time and effort into this than even Piecewise, but he still hasn't capped the player count.  Eventually, he'll probably grow tired of it. :\

Prepostedit: ninja'd by the GM...))
You may be right. And from that list, you are the highest contributor to the ER wiki that has joined this game. And you are eight in rank on that list. This is the largest and longest running game i have gm'ed. For me, the wiki would be for two purposes, should it be made: keeping track of characters, and lore development. I see it as a potential tool for actually fleshing out the world I am pretending to build.

I feel kinda bad for inserting varion in here as he as a character is stolen from a gildy including the back story with its own locations and such, albeit all stuck on a couple islands

I have plenty of time and not much better to do. If there's anything I can do to help with making a wiki I'd be happy to do it.

Welp. Now you know what the white band is for. Also ... I think you have a visitor? One of your teammates stumbled upon your little incarceration.

...Who? I have no idea who you're referring to, because there's no way I'm reading all the way through these massive posts. :P

((rough weekend. I slept almost all day today. I was up a short while when i posted in the er redux thread earlier))

Reply:
"Aylia did inform you of that in her report?"

"She may have informed the officers she reported to. We'll see about equipping you with a lockable stun prod or something."

Take the copper. See about hauling furniture.
Edit: Mission preferences are 3, 4, 2, 1.
75 copper added. Looks like the furniture hauling is being put on hold, for some nefarious reason or another. Ah well.

Go find the potion master and see what I'll have to do to get mah magic boosted
He will give you a one shot magic potion in exchange for your spider fang. He will give you a potion that may permanently enhance your power in exchange for three of yor fingers, which will permanently cripple that hand., reducing your dex score. Side effects are likely.

My mission preferances go 3>1>2>4

Say the following to the alchemists. If they don't try to stop me,fetch the bucket go and fetch a bunch of those leeches. put some of the swamp water back in the bucket so the leeches don't dry out or anything.


"Suspicious statement: No, this one does not recall mentioning any leeches to you.
Inquisitive query: Why? Is there something this one should know? Or, more probable, something you want?"

"It's in the notes" One of the alchemists says, waving the sheaf of papers at you, and tilting his head, eyebrows scrunched up quizzically. The other wiggles her ears. With her hands. She just reaches up, placed her hands behind her long, broad ears, and flaps them forward and back a few times. "As for why, I believe the notes ... let's see ... ah here it is1 'Note: Leeches have a tendency to slither out of buckets and slide into places they should not be - pant legs, hair, even the urinary orifices of unsuspecting beings. Even mechanical beings are not immune, as leeches have been known to crawl into machinery and gunk up the works. this is usually fatal to the leech, but no one cares about that - they are leeches.'"

You grab your bucket and head out iwth some swamp water in it. You arrive at the mage's shop where you were told the leeches wold be, and he directs you to a large tank, with a glass front, no less, and a set of steps at the side for ease of access to the hatch. the tank is positively black with leeches. "Mind the rug on your way through, if you please."

"Thank you."

Leave this place, if permitted. Make a mental note to treat this guy as a necromancer.
What emotions are blocked by being a zombie, if any? After receiving an answer to this, say the above and then leave this place, if permitted and make a mental note to treat this guy as a necromancer.

My mission preferences are 2>3>1>4

All emotions tend to be dulled by zombieism, though free zombies have been known to regain some emotional range, if they manage to survive log enough. This is sometimes viewed as an unfavorable growth by the zombies, who occasionally search aggressively for ways to deaden any emotions. however, emotional growth seems tied to intellectual ability, in that it is both the sentient zombies that gain emotion, and the loss of emotion inevitably impairs the zombie's brain function. Ayway, you are allowed to go with a cheery greeting and a wave.

"Hey, if there's any sort of thing you need, anything at all, I'd be pretty glad to help. What stuff do you need stolen in particular? And who do you need murdered and/or informed? Let me know if something springs to mind, I kind of like this upward mobility thing you've got going here."

Keep at it! Also, how's the sweat collection? Is the rate appreciable? And moreover, is it quick?
You gather enough sweat to fill the vial. It's not hard. it's sweat.

"We'll be in touch, when you've been assigned a mission. Your enthusiam is pleasing. do take care of yourself. We look forward to hearing about your exploits."

Welp. Now you know what the white band is for. Also ... I think you have a visitor? One of your teammates stumbled upon your little incarceration.

...Who? I have no idea who you're referring to, because there's no way I'm reading all the way through these massive posts. :P
Like really.

You want me to wander back through, again? They bolded their action, with your name attached. They can talk to you themselves, I forget which it was.


A gong is sounded. "General assembly," is the meaning given you when you are asked. So everyone files into the large auditorium deep in the central part of Omega. it's somewhat dim in here and a bit crowded. there are balconies though, and perches for the short, as well as accomodations for the otherly bodied. Any stragglers are actually herded into the assembly as well.

Weapons are either confiscated or peacebound, and anyone with a known bite attack is muzzled.

A squad of officers stand on the stage and lead the crowd in the Omega Oath. not everyone participates, but the officers don't force that. one guy is soundly beaten for making a disturbance during the oath though. He is left in a pool of his own blood on the floor where he falls. After this, there is a short presentation on the rules of Omega: no rioting, respect your officers, try not to kill each other without good reason, don't crap in someone else' living area unless they request it. A short, comical skit is presented demonstrating each of these rules after the presentation. It goes over reasonably well, with those species that have a sense of humor. A woman in the audience sets a few of her neighbors on fire and is soundly beaten for it. Unlike the other fellow, she is carted out on a stretcher though. An officer announces that she will be taken to the infirmary "to prevent catastrophic explosion." He doesn't even bat an eye at the commotion. Following this, a few Omegas are recognized for service to the Queen, or otherwise are honored, including a few promotions in the ranks. Aylia and Fiddler are mentioned by name in the list of newly promoted corporals.

Finally, missions are announced, and Omegas are selected for them. More than half of the Omegas are pulled for one single mission "against Duke Artellan." In the end, there are five or six missions whose roster is not filled. For three of those, you guys are not eligible: either due to clearance issues, or species restrictions. the other three are as follows:

1) Scouting mission to the Eastern Reaches. This mission will start in Port Heron, where supplies will be gathered. You will act as an escort for a merchant train to the interior before being sent out into the surrounding area to check on a few disturbances which may be isolated incidents or may be connected. there are a few Omega Legion resources out there that need checked in on as well. This mission will cover a lot of territory, and you will be under the direction of three officers, though not always directly. one of the locations mentioned by name is a Durnvale.

2) Relic acquisition. This is a dangerous mission to a temple outside of the Kingdom. The Queen's reach is short here. Your goals are to loot, kill and destroy. There is a primary target, a relic left undescribed, without which you will not be able to return to Omega.

3) Raid on Belster's Bay. A region to the southeast has seen a rise in pirate activity of late. The southeast coast is lightly populated, and as such has little in the way of noble oversight, but is generally loyal to the Crown. The pirates have been disrupting fishing and what commerce there is down that way, and have been spending the money in other ports, far away. Recent intel has discovered that they have made a major supply run, and are in the process of returning to their hunting grounds with it. Their first major stopover will be a secluded hideaway in the aforementioned bay. We intend to steal what goods they have brought, and destroy their assets. We expect this to be a major blow to the morale and reach of the pirates.

Please select your first choice only for now, so I can see where the main interest is. If one of these gets fewer than four crew, I'll be dumping them off on the other two.

Try and find out if my magic has stabilized in a safe place ask for some omega personnel to watch me preferably either someone I know if I can find them or an officer of some sorts.

I respond.
"That makes sense, though I'm not too sure. There's still dome loose pieces of the puzzle. I think mom might have made a promise not to tell me about dad. And the only reason I can think of to do that is to protect me from his enemies. So, I'd prefer if you didn't ask around about him for me. I want to just trust that he'll contact me when he safely can... Um, can you tell me more about you?"
I have even more follow-up ability testing from last mission to do at some point. I need to shift to sprite specifically to gain flight, and practice my archery with my composite shortbow. First on the ground to familiarize myself with how it feels while spritely, and then to try it while flying. My birth form is even smaller than an average elf's, so hopefully the size difference isn't too big between my shifted size and the size my bow was designed for. However, if size is an issue, then I'll attempt hybridizing to get the proper size while retaining flight. If Senna has advice or requests of me, I'll try them.

oh, and my mission choice will be up to Senna, due to Lenglon's RL issues.

What are you going to do to test your magic?

I respond.

I intend to put you in Mission One. It's wide ranging and will miss any given character's absence less than the other two would. Plus, it fits the "practice being a mount on mission" idea you wanted.

"Well, since we are talking about fathers" Senna says, smiling. And then the smile fades and her face darkens. 'I murdered mine, and my uncle. it's why I bear the Brand, rather than the Mark." Senna attempts to recover her good cheer, but for the rest of the day, her emotions remain clouded and her face remains shadowed. She doesn't talk much more about herself for the time being, though she attempts to every now and them. "I was trained with animals since I was very young." "I love dresses. They are so elegant." "My brother taught me the bow. He has always been very kind."

You give her space and practice your transformations instead. Sprites are typically between three and six inches tall. They are too small for any useful ranged weapon for a medium sized creature, even a very small one. Are you shorter than Fiddler? he's about four feet tall, I believe. The sprite's flight is interesting. You are used to soaring, banking, catching thermals, twisting your tail and wings to turn, and flaring your wings to land. Sprites buzz, like a cross between a bee and a hummingbird, and flit back and forth, side to side, up and down. They tend to remain upright even in flight, and you take numerous tumbles when you unconsciously lean forward into the direction of flight and tip over unexpectedly. Too, there seems to be some kind of resistance to flying high. or perhaps to flying without cover. Flying to the top of a tree is tiring, and flying to the top of a cliff or building in Omega is dificult. You often find yourself sinking back to below the roofline or along the cliff face. Maintaining height at that point seems fine. When on open, bare ground, you find that about three feet up is fine, though you tend to remain about a foot and a half up unless there is a person nearby, at which point you gravitate toward face height. Your attempts to hybridize fail, and are painful on those occasions you feel you are making progress toward a unity of form or a halfway point.

(First I'm gonna try and feel for my magic Feel if I feel confident it's stable and then under supervision manifest the healing magic and see if it seems stable then dissipate that and wait a few minutes and try and ascertain my black magics state before trying to manifest it basically stop if I feel pain immediately with the black magic she does not want to mess herself up.))
