Xylarc had a while to regain herself. She knew she had just gotten lucky… and luck wasn’t enough to win a real life battle… At least this was a bit of practice… She had been watching and waiting quite some time before the man once again informed the crowd she was indeed up next. “Up next, another semi-final round.” Xylarc felt her heart drop. Semifinals? “Death’s Kiss VS Rylie.” She grimaced. Rylie was a guy name… she was gonna be squashed… Calm down, you’ll do fine. She rolled her eyes. But she had to admit no matter what was a bout to come, Ienzo’s words were comforting. When her opponent finally joined her on the stage, she almost keeled over in surprise. Rylie wasn’t a guy. On the contrary, she was a girl looking around Xylarc’s age. Rylie smiled sweetly at her before picking her weapon. Xylarc’s face was concealed within her black hoodie (she had taken Ienzo’s advice to remove the cloak for identity reasons). And even if it wasn’t, she didn’t really want to smile back at the opponent. Although, she had to admit the girl had a rather joyful essence to her. Her happiness seemed to be contagious. Randomly, picking up a club, Xylarc secretly examined her opponent through the hood. There was something about this girl that seemed so familiar… but she couldn’t seem to figure it out. The bell rang and the round begun. In her head, Xylarc was thinking about all the rounds of the competition. There were only two semifinal rounds and the first one had just taken place while she went to regain herself. She completely missed it. If she was going to win this round, she would have to face the winner of the previous round in the final round. She wished she had stuck around to see who it was. She doubted she would be around for the final match anyways. But then again, Rylie didn’t seem like such a threat. Xylarc stuck with her strategy. Simply avoid being hit and hope the opponent gets worn out. But her plan didn’t work so well this time. Although Rylie didn’t seem to have much muscle, she had fierce agility. She hastily knocked Xylarc upside the head, blacking her out cold on the ground for a little over sixty seconds. “I’m SO sorry!” she exclaimed, almost crying. She extended her arm, attempting to help Xylarc up. Xylar simply whacked Rylie’s hand away with her club, and then hit her in the back of the knee so she fell to the ground. She suddenly felt a little guilty. Time seemed to freeze as Xylarc just stood there, thinking. She had been such a sweet little girl. She was always kind to others. And she always had a passion for helping others. Now, she had become a monster. Remembering Ienzo, she decided it was all for a good cause. She looked down at Rylie. She was half on the ground, and it looked as if she was attempting to get up. The whole thing reminded Xylarc of a push-up. But something was weird. No matter how long she looked at her, she didn’t move. She looked around. No one in the stadium was moving either. Time really had frozen. But that was ridiculous. “Ienzo?” she asked, “what’s going on?” No reply. “I’m officially freaked out.” I’ll admit, this is weird. Xylarc took a few steps back. Time unfroze. Rylie got up. She looked as if she was going to cry, but then she simply smiled sweetly once more. The audience cheered for the return to her feet. Xylarc rolled her eyes. Rylie once again jolted forward, swinging her bat rapidly. She had knocked Xylarc’s club out of her hand. She glared within the cloak. She drew her hand down out to the right, as if to try and punch Rylie. Something went weird again, but it wasn’t the same this time. Xylarc looked around. The timer was changing rapidly. When it reached zero she put her hand down. She heard the buzzer sound and then the voices of the announcers. “Wow! Chuck, this round seemed to go by fast!” “It sure did, Randy! It sure did.” Xylarc laughed. Chuck. Randy. She wasn’t sure why this was funny. She looked at the score. 021 to 018 in her favor. “It looks like Death’s Kiss has done it again!” Xylarc actually grasped Rylie’s outstretched hand this time, and she shook it. Rylie smiled sweetly. Xylarc did nothing. “In just ten more minutes, the final round, Chuck!” Xylarc grimaced. How would she ever win this match? OoC: haha. . .kinda like that one chick from the new charlie and the chocolate factory. . . and of course people love the accent! OoC: LARRY??? LMAO! sorry, that struck me as funny. absolutely NO OFFENSE to anyone named larry. ^^' OoC: Idk it was like one of your first posts. Rexyggor had glasses and was in the third grade. or maybe im losing it. -.-' well if you mixed up the descriptions, i guess it's Rexyggor who i think is attractive. Gosh it feels WEIRD saying that!!! OoC: SMOOF NO!!! lol im not into yaoi. no offense to anyone who is into yaoi.. or is part of yaoi... it's just... not my thing ^^' Alyssa. nice name tee hee! ^^ And so can i just assume for the RPG's sake that Sora and Kairi are married? o.0 Another long post ^^' i REALLY hope im not boring you guys to death!!!
Xylarc froze in disbelief. “Ienzo, what have you gotten me into?” The new organization leader commanded you to fight so you can find your power. This way, you know you wont die. “Are you calling me weak?” she demanded. He laughed inside her head. No, it’s just… without your power, you’re… powerless. She rolled her eyes. “That’s it. I’m doing this just to show you that I can.” She followed the man’s instructions and filled out some random papers. She filled in her name as Death’s Kiss. The man seemed slightly afraid of her. She laughed a little in her head. Watching some of the other rounds, she sort of picked up the rules. It looked as if every time you hit your opponent, orbs would fly out around the arena. Apparently, the one with the most orbs in the end would win. The voice came over the speaker again. “Up next, Marlene VS Death’s kiss.” Xylarc found herself face to face with some little girl. She felt odd fighting someone so much younger. Then again, at age sixteen, she was not the oldest competitor herself. She grabbed on the of the clubs offered be the referee. She didn’t really pay attention to her weapon. It didn’t make much difference to her. Throughout the round, she made an extra effort not to hit the girl. She simply tried avoiding her. She began to worry as the time limit ran low. It seemed it would end up as a tie with about three seconds left. Just then the girl seemed to trip and a single orb rolled to Xylarc’s feet. A man flipped the sign that once read 000 to 001.The buzzer rand and the man on the loud speaker declared her winner of this round. OoC: Uhm…this is random but I’ve been wanting to ask this for a long time. Rexyggor, at the beginning you said Rexyggor was in the third grade and we were all calling him “kid” and now apparently he’s thirty-something? how does this work? o.0 Oh and to Nycx, Ienzo, and Rexyggor, can we assume sora and riku got married (NOT TO EACH OTHER!) to kairi or tifa or yuffie or some random chick? i dont care maybe you guys can just make it up. I'm just trying to think of the heir. riku and sora should maybe have at least one kid each and they're friends or something. I dont really know how to do this whole heir thing without knowing what your plans are for Sora and Riku's children are... so if you could just think about it and let me know so i know about the whole heir thing. I was actually planning on making the heir my character to play against the organization... so i kinda want to make up the physical traits and everything.... i just kinda need permission to say that Sora had a child and possibly Riku too (the heirs) LOOOOOONG OoC, i know... lol sorry ^^'
OoC: *is disturbed by the “sounds like a man” comment* British accents rock! I’d tell you what I sound like, but I don’t want to give away where I live -.-‘ BiC: Xylarc awoke several hours later to see Nycx disappearing in the distance. She shook her head and blinked a few times in disbelief. Just then something else caught her attention. Someone had ran head on into her ship. She realized the cloaking device was still on. She quickly started the engine and the kid looked extremely alarmed. She couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. When the ship was safely parked in a back alley, she got out and looked around. Long time no talk, eh? “Ienzo,” she whispered, smiling. Haha, yeah. “Where am I?” Twilight Town. “Huh?” Kid, you need to get out more. She grinned. Back when he was still alive, Ienzo was like the only family she had. He acted much like a big brother. Her father was never home and her mother was always either busy with something, or resting. Xylarc thought for a moment. She was a deprived child. Sure, being her father was the ruler of Archadia, she could have any material goods she wanted. But as she grew older, she began to realize that munny could not buy happiness. Vaan, her father, never appreciated Ienzo’s presence. But Xylarc didn’t care about what her father thought. They had grown so far apart he seemed merely like a mean old man holding a memory of something more dear. The day Ienzo died… she tried to keep her mind off it. So what brings you here. “Don’t play dumb,” Okay, okay. So I know you’re looking for the heir. “You haven’t been reading my mind, have you?” No, I made a promise. “Good,” she smiled and began to find her way downtown. She came upon what she believed to be… a duck. “sir?” she asked. “Why, hello!” he replied. She jumped several feet back. “Forgive me,” she panted, “It’s just, I don’t come across talking ducks often. I don’t’ mean to offend you in any way.” “Oh no,” he laughed light heartedly, “none taken. I’m here selling seasalt ice cream. Care to try some?” She stood for a moment, thinking. Take some! She heard Ienzo, It’s good! “Thanks,” she said, reaching out her arm to accept the ice cream bar. She dug in her pocket for any spare change. None! She had left it in Oblivion. “Don’t worry my dear! The first one’s on the house!” then he dropped his voice to a whisper, “but if you’re looking for some munny, I suggest entering the Struggle competition.” She nodded and walked away. She didn’t pay much attention to what he said, for she was licking the ice cream too vigorously. She hadn’t eaten (omg brain fart, eaten doesn't even look like a real word to me... IS IT? -.-') in so long. Soon, she found herself in front of something that reminded her of a boxing ring. She looked around to see posters that read STRUGGLE. This was what that duck was talking about. Just then a loud voice rang over the loud speaker. “We need one more competitor for today! Any volunteers?” You. “Are you mad?!” Come on! What’s there to lose? "Ienzo, NO!" Just then she felt a small sting on her hip, as if Ienzo had pinched her and she made a loud screeching noise as she jumped. “Yes, the girl in black up near the arena. You are officially in!” OoC: sorry this post is so long... and sorry i'm making it longer by putting in this OoC ^^'
OoC: EEEK! *runs around in circles* This may seem weird, but I’ve ALWAYS wanted to meet a British person! It’s just… a lot of my favorites are British… like favorite band, favorite actress, etc. And about the plot… hmm… maybe the organization should go searching for sora and riku. Or at least individual characters go looking or something. -.-‘ BiC: She had been driving for hours and she was in need of a break. She locked in on the closest world and shifted to turbo. She landed somewhere in the middle of town. She didn’t care much, as long as she got to sleep. She hit the cloaking device and slowly closed her eyes. OoC: Ukali, where are the boys? On the island? I seem to have forgotten. And i liked that last post. Ienzo, this may seem odd. But there’s a question I’ve always wanted to ask. In your head, do you think with a British accent? (forgive my youthful ignorance ^.^) ChocoKitten, glad to hear from you! Sorry to hear you’re computer is slow -.-‘ well Ienzo pretty much told you all that I know is happening now.
OoC: well actually i biffed -.-' i meant Ienzo posted. . .lol. but now that i think about it i think Zexion5221 posted again as well. i think a lot of people did... or like i said, i might be losing it. ^^' mum? are you BRITISH? o.0
OoC: I too wrote this before, but I’m not going to put effort into repeating my EXACT words… I think Zexion posted once more before I did too… not positive… Xylarc was rather pleased with herself. Number one “liked the way she thought”. Number one looked in deep thought with something. She didn’t want to break her concentration, so she silently walked away. She wondered the castle until she found a desk she believed to belong to Number One. On its surface, Xylarc left a note reading: I’ll keep in touch. And somewhere further down the parchment in smaller print it said: somehow. In the bottom right-hand corner, it was signed Number VI. She silently slinked out of the castle and into the bushes where she had parked the ship she had arrived on. Boarding the ship, she saw one lone Shadow lurking about. Her gauntlet once again grew a sword and she swiped the Heartless across the chest. It briefly turned into a black puff of smoke revealing a small pink heart. She took a look outside one of the ship windows. The heartless population had decreased greatly since she had arrived. Nycx was here, she thought, smiling to herself. She took one last look at the castle before starting up the engine and leaving it in the dust. OoC: there was a warning about posts after 6:00 being erased… I read it but I guess I forgot it. I think there were several posts from this thread deleted… or maybe I’m just going loopy -.-‘ Lyxek is based off of someone?
“If I may,†she said quietly, “This heir I discussed with you earlier…†She gulped. “I want to prove myself worthy. Let me search.†before the superior could say anything, Xylarc added, "Maybe I'll find this feeling along the way."
Although the idea of having some special power seemed ridiculous to her, she was in no position to question the superior. “well,” she began uneasily, “It just so happens I’m not human.” She wasn’t exactly sure if what she was about to say would be accepted, but it seemed as if this was an organization that could not dismember anyone. “I…am a Hume.” (some of you may remember that her father is Vaan of Final Fantasy XII) Before the superior had time to even think about Xylarc’s last words, she hastily jumped in, almost interrupting herself. “How do I discover this…power?” OoC: Vaan, a hume (a race in ffxii), is Xylarcs father. But i changed the storyline of the game around for this RP. I honestly havnt finished the game so i have no idea if anything about Vaan i've written is anywhere near true. (dont ruin the game for me please x3) But in this RP Vaan is the ruler of Archadia. Just an FYI for anyone who is a little lost.
OoC: 1. okay, that makes more sense. But what's with Varnor and Marluxia52091? havent heard from them in ages. although i assume varnor is busy with some other RPG i saw he started. 2. hahaha sorry ^^ i was simply suggesting that lyxek sounded rather attractive...
OoC: thanks ^^' BiC: Elements. Fire, water, earth... "Power?" she asked, taking a step back. Suddenly she felt as if she was trapped in a tent with the rest of the circus. “I’m only human,†She regretted saying these words. Maybe the rest of this organization was superhuman. She was extremely thankful number one was so understanding. Maybe it was because they seemed to be around the same age. She silently imagined the same scenario, but talking to Nycx instead. She chuckled a little, but when she came back to reality, she shook her head. “You… have a… power?â€
Xylarc looked to the ground. Before thinking, she asked, “Element?†For a few seconds, she felt ashamed of her ignorance. But it seemed all feelings had been fading slowly ever since the encounter with Namine. OoC: uhm... im having a brain fart -.- is it Namine or Nomine? or possibly something completely different. give me a break! ive only been up for half an hour! ^^'
OoC: that perfectly fine ^^ no worries.. and has anyone noticed that there are many of us with black hair? o.0 BiC: Kry caught her eye as she passed what she thought to be a random room. “Number one,” she declared, unsure, “Is there any task you wish for me to take into my hands?” She tried to show that she was capable. Crossing her arms, she looked up to see Nycx raging out of the room, slamming the door, and another member she remembered seeing before with Kasha. She made eye contact with none but the superior. OoC: Xylarc is average height for her age (sixteen). Her thin hourglass figure is hidden within the organization cloak, as her delicate facial features are hidden within her hood. None of the other members have seen her face, and she wished to keep it that way. Her long (once golden) black hair falls onto her chest from within the hood. Most often found alone with her arms crossed. Xylarc is unaware of her abilities to manipulate time and shape shift (Zexion’s ability…others may refer to it as “illusion”) Although she seems quite reserved (and somewhat depressed), Xylarc has a knack for “turning on the charm.” If one gets to know her, they discover she can be quite sassy.
"dawn" to "fg" "not much, just sort of bored out of my mind without you guys. but those last chapters were awesome! can't wait for the next one (it will temporarily cure my boredom :D)" and sadly dawn just told me that she believes her parents will not change their minds... ever... but she laughed it off saying she'll be back on when she moves out of the house! teehee!
OoC: uhm... i would say just look at what others have said when describing their characters. I have no idea why but it's easier for me to follow along with the story if i know what the person im reading about looks like. its just theres a lot of ppl in the RPG and i dont know maybe my brain just has issues -.-' but thanks to everyone who put down their characters description! I'm working on mine now ^.^
OoC: hey, can i make an odd random request? since rexyggor described his characters, it's been easier for me to follow along with the two. does anyone think they could do the same? like describe their character so it's easier to keep all of the characters straight in our minds? feel free to protest ^.^
So sorry, partially my fault ^.^ Be sure to have fun! The RP won’t be the same without you DX BiC: Xylarc stood still, blankly staring at one of the castle walls. She felt insignificant. This organization didn’t need her. After all, how much help was she? She seemed to just be a bother. No one around here was even relatively like her. A lonely sixteen year-old simply seeking a purpose. She was determined to be all that she could be. OOC: I might have written this down incorrectly, but I thought Nyxie was #12. . .? I was thinking about it.*thinks* and also, was it just me having problems getting onto the site for the last couple days? I know rexyggor said somethin about "timing out" mine jsut showed a blank screen. lotsa troubles lately...poor deathspank...*pities* Rexyggor: *describes Lyxec* Me: *drools* Rexyggor: *funny look* Me: *hastily wipes drool off corner of mouth*
"does Kasha ENJOY ignoring me?!" Xylarc spat in a violent whisper. naw. "at least... im not alone." OOC: thats my second IC post so i guess i'll be stopping til tomorrow... catcha laterz peeps!
OOC: ME TOO!!!!! grrr.... BIC: "so..." Xylarc seemed to say to no one in particular... then she turned to Kasha. "are there others... of your kind, that is."
OOC: :D you dont know how much that means to me! *tears up* really ... omg *slaps self* keep it together, destined! sorry... it just means a lot. ^.^ OOC: ME TOO!
OOC: really? you think so ?? yep, im totally new to this! i like it a lot so thanks to everyone involved with the RPG ^.^ its a great experience! and im sorry for being such a blabber-mouth sometimes ^^' i dont really talk much in real life... i just LOVE to write... A LOT. so sorry if reading all of my posts is time consuming but i highly appreciate it! and you're good yourself! :D
