This is an X of Y!! game, I just wanted to use a different type of title to differentiate this from the others I'm currently GMing in.

Spoiler: Exposition (click to show/hide)

You were the Archknight, a hero of the people, master of all blades, and champion to the people. Your king, the traitor, promised to relieve you of your duties if you finished one final task for him. You were to help end the great war between your neighboring kingdom.
You fought long, and hard to end the war. You succeeded in this goal, bringing peace between the two kingdoms. The traitor fulfilled his end of the bargain, and you lived happily for a time. It was a year after that he announced his ascension to emperor, and began his preemptive assault on the unsuspecting kingdom.
When you tried to stop this madness, he ordered the Archknight that took your empty seat to kill you, and your loved ones. You watched everyone you cared for die in front of you that day. You saw yourself die as well. You were thrown into the pits of the underworld, awaiting the judgement the gods chose fitting to you.

Lich, the god of the undead, offered you life anew. He promised you power, happiness, and the life you had before. His one condition was revenge against the man who killed you. Lich fed on the evils the dead commit in their lives, and wants the succulence that vile man had to offer. You would be his blade, the Undeath Knight.
You consult the other gods present, and they all assure you that Lich allows one single favor to those who lead good lives. Lich gave no attempt to sweeten his words, he wanted only the evils of man to feed upon. You agree, and awaken in a foreign land.

You awake from the horrible nightmare. You call for your mother and father. Your hair has turned white, your skin a dark pale, and the mark of Lich is now imprinted onto your arm. Your parents rush in to discover your curse.
You are taken to the village leader to be held in trial. After several hours of words you don't understand you are exiled from the village. You don't know what "exiled" means, so you try to go into the city again. Your parents give you a poorly made wooden sword, then tell you that you can't return to the village. Your parents tell you that you have a mana source from the curse, so you can defend yourself using magic if you have to. Your father tells you to take the sword, and become a fine knight.

The village gates shut, and you are left to fend for yourself in the world.

As with all my other games, skills reach level 100 then evolve. Draconic magic will remain at 0 until we obtain a dracolich pup in the teenage stage. You'll know the teen stage is coming once I mention finding a mysterious amulet.

We're going to be washed to sea next update, choose how you want to reach that end. Make it humorous.

[Lillipad]

In retrospect I should have included giving Undeath Knight a name part of the options since nobody does anything unless I ask them to, moving right along.

Spoiler: Update (click to show/hide)

You decide that since you aren't allowed to go back home now is as good a time as any to become a flying squirrel.
You go to a nearby forest, then climb a tree. Once at the top of the tree you give the Squirrel Call to inform your allies-to-be that you're taking the initiation flight. You see a dead squirrel at your jump point, so you poke it with a small twig you snap off of a branch. The pungent corpse begins to twitch, and spasm, then jumps into combat mode. It smashes its head against the tree until its skull caves in, then you climb back down the tree to dig a grave for the poor buffoon.

You go back up to continue your flying squirrel ritual. You take as large a jump as possible, then feel yourself slam into the river that was always in front of the tree. Ow, you might have broken something. You wait patiently for the current to grow weaker, but that soon becomes a lost cause. You're dragged through the river most of the day, until a storm hits.
You eventually hit your head against a rock, and pass out for an unspecified amount of time. You wake up in an endless expanse of water. Exhaustion overcomes you soon after waking up.
After several rounds of waking up, then passing out you become a beached whale Peasant. You'd get up to move, but exhaustion has claimed the better of you. Ugh, we have to wait for the off chance of someone coming to the rescue. Thanks a lot Jimmy, your squirrel idea made my life SO MUCH better!

Think up a name, then post who you want to be found by. It has to be a human or elf of any kind. We'll be able to do things once we're rescued. Specifically adventuring. Crafting will come in the teen stage if I feel like adding it.

[Nirur Torir]

Our name is Percival. Knowing our luck, we'll be found by something unpleasant, like a caravan of human gypsies.

[Lillipad]

Spoiler: Update (click to show/hide)

Well, I can't go back to the village now, even if I did want to... What was my name again? It started with an... H? Hank? It might have been Hank, I refuse to take that risk! My name is Hank no more! From now on my name is Percival Sepulchure! No wait, that's plagiarism. Percival may or may not be, but Sepulchure would definitely be plagiarism... Bah, I'll take the lawsuit!
I am Percival Sepulchure the Exiled!

I'm still a beached whale Peasant, so we need a savior of some sort.
Unspecified amount of time later...
An apple rolled near me hours ago, but my useless arms can't move to get it! Perfect! I should never hae listened to Jimmy...

>Use dark magic to sap the life from the surrounding vegetation to rid yourself of this fatigue.(I know there is some, there's an apple right there!)

[V-Norrec]

Perform a whale call and have some hippy elves come save you, then eat them for sweet sweet nourishment and entertainment

[Lillipad]

Eating life energy is a part of necromancy. It's an easy type, so unless you eat a dinosaur, or powerful wizard you won't get any boosts for using.

Spoiler: Update (click to show/hide)

You try to eat the apple from a distance.
The first attempt devoured sand. The second grass. The third one was probably the most interesting, you had overshot the apple, and hit a bird instead. The problem with the third attempt was that you couldn't absorb the power of the bird, the energy was just too far away!
On the fourth attempt you ate grass, grass, sand, another bird, tree, tree, bird, tree. The list goes on, but you do eventually manage to devour the energy of the apple. You now have enough energy to feel the extreme amount of pain you were most likely in the entire time. You aren't sure why, but you blame Jimmy for this mess!

After you stop feeling pain again you begin trying to speak. Your dehydration stops you from doing so, so you start releasing mana with reckless abandon. An elf and human duo arrive shortly after your little commotion, and pick you up. You fall asleep, and wake up in a strange room. You can see outside the window a ways, and believe you can make out a city somewhere in the distance. This room is pretty fancy, I wonder how many coins it cost to build!

I'm surprised you guys didn't think up something overly weird for our savior. Ah well.

Norrec: We can only eat small mammals and non-sentient life with level 1 necromancy. On an unrelated note, elves are manly in this, hippie they ain't.

[ragnarok97071]

Try to stand, if you fail, support self with solid darkness and float. Actually, try that first.

[breadbocks]

You gonna add this to your sig?

>Summon lightning into the form of a sword.

[Lillipad]

Dark magic is the magical art of destruction. You can't interact with it, and you can't use it for enchanting. I'll add wind magic into the previous posts, then give you guys a free point in it.

breadbocks: I'll add it in eventually.

[Lillipad]

And now, the double post update made legendary to myself and no others in my other games.

Spoiler: Update (click to show/hide)

I try to get up so I can get a better look at that town, and nearly collapse after removing my hand from what I was using as a support.
Well this is certainly a bother! I can't get anything done if I can't move! I've got mana, let's see what I can do about this little inconvenience. I pick up some multi-sided thing on the table near the bed, then toss it at the pillow in anger!
[18]
My throwing of the annoying block somehow managed to give me a boost in my step. I hobble over to the window, contemplating my constant change of perspectives along the way. After pondering your life and all the mistakes I made, you look outside the window to notice that I'm inside the city. It appears to have a large wall, so I guess I'm somewhere inside of a castle city. I hobble back to the bed, and a mysterious duo enters the room.
The two rush at me, speaking a language I don't understand... Argh! This whole inconvenience thing is annoying!

Me: "What are you saying?!"

They look perplexed at the question, then the human waves a wand of some sort around, and somehow I can understand them now. I also have finally noticed that the two are adults. The human is female, and appears to be a cleric, or something cliched like that. The elf, on the other hand, is a mix of high elf and night elf. He's tan, and looks pretty powerful.
Hmm...

So what do you guys want to talk about with these two?

[EDIT]
I just noticed that I made exhaustion our emotional state... I need to get my sleep schedule more night oriented again.

[V-Norrec]

First question:  Where am I?

Second question:  Who are you two?

Third question:  Can you train me how to perform that spell?  It would be useful since I'm in a foreign land along way away from home.

[breadbocks]

>Summon lightning into the form of a sword.

[Evergod41]

Bring the bed to life and bind it to your control so that you can slay these simpletons

[Lillipad]

Spoiler: Update (click to show/hide)

I asked the duo a few questions about what on Gaia is going on, and get a bit more information. I'm still 12 miles south of knowing anything, but I at least have some fancy words to spout at people if the need arises.

I'm apparently in a village called Klaim. It's the capital city of the kingdom Frey. I have no idea what any of that means, so I'll just assume I'm in the big city of some kingdom on some other continent. I assume this mostly due to my school never teaching anything about a kingdom named Frey on the continent I lived on.

When I asked the cleric-thing to teach me the spell she used to translate she simply put a hand on my shoulder, and shook her head no. Apparently I'm cursed, and learning light magic would kill me. This was also the reason she couldn't instantly heal me, apparently. She also explains that my mana source, whatever that could be, is one leaned at destruction, so even if I could learn that spell it would be mostly useless.
They introduce themselves as Claire(human) and Trine(elf). Trine tells me the sword father gave me can't be used for combat, and says he could prepare a new practice sword for me. I agree readily, then drift to sleep.

When we wake up we can either go to the forest with Trine to train our sword skill a bit, or go with Claire to practice magic. We'll eventually get around to doing both, but each one will send us to our first dungeon raid with different people.

We can make a ball, or a single tiny strike of lightning bread. I'll put you down as a magic practice vote.

Evergod: Golem creation would be classified as light magic. Eventually we'll take control of a second character that is pretty much the opposite of Percival. At that point I'll start giving dual updates for each character.
