They went insane and started razing the world seeing it as entirely corrupt, under the excuse that they were on a crusade against darkness(not the magic, the forces). You guys witness them do this, and then watch them be killed by Chronus. He resets the world to a point before he gave them any power, then gives the six players their positions.
One of the things about being a part of the Six is that you have no idea you're one of the Six, you just instinctively know that something is happening somewhere in that direction, and that there are others like you. In this game, meta-gaming is used to find fun times or other players, but since meta-gaming = instinct, you don't know anything about what you're doing in character.

Roscow Illiad

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Player name: Weirdsound
Character name: Roscow Illiad
Character age: 36
Character gender: Male
Character species: Elf

Character description: A young elven male missing half his right ear. His dirty blond hair is cut short for an elf, and during the warm months he often shaves his head completely. He wears a gold locket engraved with his families coat of arms and simple goblin style clothes.

Character history: Roscow is the eldest son of a minor elven noble in a minor elven city. As a kid he was picked on ruthlessly by his peers due to the fact that he was born with only half a right ear. Because of the teasing young Roscow preferred the company of the goblin slave children that his father kept. Much to his fathers dismay Roscow was soon close to most of the green-skinned house servants.

During his teen years Roscow developed talents for both the complexities of magic and the simple art of bashing things with a blunt object. The teasing stopped and the young elf began to develop a reputation as a badass, a womanizer, and a petty criminal. Roscow's father was killed shortly after his 23rd birthday. His first acts upon recieving the title were to sell the family estate and free the family goblins, whom he promptly set out to adventure with his friends.

Nowadays Roscow wanders alone between elven cities, acting as a contact, middleman, accomplice, and fence for goblins who seek to do business (legal or otherwise) in the elven lands. Although his title of nobility and good street smarts usually keep him out of trouble he has been jailed a few times and is unwelcome in a couple cities. When Roscow needs to lay low, or simply wants to avoid civilization, he can make a living as a wandering trapper, miner, or highwayman. He has inherited a love of complex gizmos from his goblin friends, and has an unhealthy obsession with crafting cruel and painful new traps.

Oh yeah, I never mentioned, but since I forgot to add short swords back onto the list(since there would be too many skills with the word 'sword' in the name), short swords count as daggers. Or knives, depending on the type of sword.

Question: how is time really considered in battle? Seconds seem to really need a quick reaction, how are we to expect that?

Edit: In the inventory, Overall means a cloak or some sort of covering above the armor/clothes?

[Lillipad]

3 seconds is equivalent to one turn. In the basic time spell, it slows down how time flows around you, making a few seconds into, potentially, several hours. The spell that speeds up the flow of time around you causes enemies to experience motion at the speed of light, and I can't imagine that being anything but confusing.

Overalls are robes, cloaks, cloaked armor, or full sets of armor I just don't want to fix. Also, I forgot to add armor to one guy, so I'm going to go fix that. It should be noted that cloaks are different from cloaked armor. Because that makes total sense.

[Tiruin]

Oh...great. So Cloaked armor is what exactly, overalls? (I've been thinking Cloaked armor means cloaks. Sorry, not good at these things {I'm not that fluent in English}, though I'm not changing my preference in my sheet.)

[Lillipad]

Cloaks are considered robes. Cloaked armor would be like this, this, or this. It's basically just an overall armor set that has a protective cloak as an inherent part of its design.

[Tiruin]

Thanks for clarifying.

Why am I the only female?

Can't wait for this to start 

[Lillipad]

I've already introduced everyone and started the prologue. It's 1:30 right now, so I won't be running the next turn until I've had sleep, but I don't expect I'll be asleep anytime soon, so if you have more questions, feel free to ask.
Weirdsound, it takes a while to finalize sheets, so I'm not adding you to the list until tomorrow, but you're still in.

[Weirdsound]

Well, I'll wait to post an action before I see what spells are at my disposal.

[Lillipad]

[Tiruin]

All our locations are different from each other right? Or are we only able to act based on what we see currently, and from our own PoV?

One of the things about being a part of the Six is that you have no idea you're one of the Six, you just instinctively know that something is happening somewhere in that direction, and that there are others like you. In this game, meta-gaming is used to find fun times or other players, but since meta-gaming = instinct, you don't know anything about what you're doing in character.

So that means we have some sort of mental bond? Sorry if my questions are keeping you up. 

[Lillipad]

Currently, Weirdsound and Shootandrun are in the same place.
TF is by himself.
Then you, Dwarmin, and ElfCollab are in, or nearing the same location.

You're all bound by being the Six chosen by Chronus the god of time. You can sense disaster and each other through meta-gaming because why not. Also, this game is set in pre-history Runners of Hyperion universe, so you can meet the mage king, and have super happy fun times with him.

[Weirdsound]

Do I get my Stone Spells, or no? I'll just assume they are the same as the dwarves' stone spell list.

[Lillipad]

Oh, hey. You do have points in stone.
