In need of a voidtouched thrall?


Recommended Posts

Or in general, a summoned, contracted beatdown servant of sorts?

 

What I'm offering up is this. Along with a long-winded-esque story, because I'm good at that.

 

Basically, my character Liliana has gotten herself into some pretty deep trouble and will be dying at the end of this story arc. However, she is "voidtouched" -- actually, at this moment, pretty much entirely corrupted by the void that she could almost classify as a voidkin herself. This is part of a big "restart" project, as this RP arc that I was involved in has gone so horribly off-track that I have to do a few roundabout tactics and stories to get her back on the right track, in a matter of sorts.

 

What I'm offering now, is a chance to have a supercharged Black Mage-classed, humanoid voidkin as a thrall to those who can summon from the Void. Or those, at least, stupid or curious enough to try. I think it'd be an interesting idea; a temporary servant able to fight the things you can't, do the things you can't do (or refuse to do because you're lazy and hell, if you're powerful enough to summon from the Void, you're entitled to a bit of relaxation!).

 

However, like with everything in RPland, there are rules and regulations and I feel that with serfdom/playing a thrall, I need to lay these out rather plainly.

 

 

1. No Summoning just for ERP. I get it, we all do it; hell, I do it too. There's no shame in ERP. However, being a thrall or a serf that is summoned from the void DOES NOT MEAN that you are entitled to her body, even while she is under contract of your character. She still has a mind of her own and a very strong will, and Lily has never taken kindly to simply getting hit on...if you ask around, she's got a mean left hook and usually aims for the throat.

 

 

2. Contracts have a price. And no, I don't mean gil. Though, gil is nice...anyway. As a "voidkin", she'd be dealing in more intimate currency...namely, aether. Depending upon the contract, she will take from the contracting character a portion of their aether (and perhaps, should any others be involved, their aether as well). This does not mean she will kill a character unless the other player(s) is/are okay with that! I'm not entirely cruel, I enjoy fairness and I truly do hate attempting to take another character's life when it is unwarranted. Especially when it's unwarranted. 

 

 

3. Abiding by the "True Name" laws. Just because you as a player can see Lily's name hovering over her head in whatever color text you made it, does not mean your character automatically knows her name. Lily will be wearing a mask a great deal of the time, and will be going by a different name. However, things like her voice, or certain mannerisms can be detected by people who do know her. If a person that knows her name even so much as whispers it within earshot, the contract she is abiding towards can be made temporarily null and void for a single action, be it confessing about something or even turning on her contractor. This, however, means that she is also entitled to siphon aether from the person in power of the "True Name Law", if she so chooses.

 

 

4. She's a bitch. And I mean that kindly. But no, really, even during her contract, Lily will be crafty and behave like any tricky voidkin would do; after all, she's trying to gain enough power to leave the Void permanently and live on her own; again, this is part of a giant "reset" arc to get her back into possible favor with the Light. But, she will perhaps siphon off a bit more (read: she's gonna drain the hell out of you) aether than she's supposed to, or perhaps do some other, craftier things. I wanted to be able to use this as a way for her to come back as a different class; perhaps being able to copy someone's class abilities from aether siphoning. I think it'd be fun and personally motivate me to level my last two Battlecraft classes through story.

 

 

That being said, I really just want to give this arc an ending that I feel is right. While I adopted this story from my former FC, I feel like I was one of the few that kept it really going (though that may not be the case, necessarily) and I wanted to give it an ending the old leaders could be proud of. Also, Lily is not dead just yet -- I wanted to put this out there as a means of gaining possible future contacts and introducing new, fun, and interesting stories for both my character and yours. So feel free to hit up the thread or my inbox if you have questions, or wanna take a stab at having your own temporary personal boomstick!

I actually have a character that already has himself a summoned voidsent, but a second likely wouldn't hurt! It's very intriguing and, if you want, I'd be more than happy to discuss some details with you and possible plot lines and whatnot! To get a look at the character (or his public face, at any rate), feel free to check out Melfice's wiki =)

I kind of want to throw out Titor there but since he is lawful good I am not sure how... Hm. He does have a corruptible side to him so maybe he can stumble into a contact somehow with her... He has an ample supply of aether... And Gil.

Maybe she could read his aether and try to enthrall him (not seduce, that would not work so much) into having him want to be with her, since he always tries to help so would be naive there probably.

He has also fallen into the void wants so has a bit of

Void on him. Not void touched though.

This is incredibly interesting and Kheo would absolutely hate it, as he despises anything related to the void due to something that occurred in his personal storyline. I doubt he would do the summoning but he *may* be the type to try to bind her for his own uses if he could get past his personal prejudice. If not, I'm sure we can play him opposing her sometime. I'm always good for long winded stories!

 

Also, I can swear I saw your name before and, as I recall, you were a great roleplayer.

Playing as opposition, or hell, even playing it out that he's trying to bind or banish her would be fun!

 

Also, yes, you have seen me before--we ran into each other in (*trumpet noises*) The Quicksands. I believe Kheo was enjoying trying to see how badly flustered he could make Lily, who was overhearing/eavesdropping on the conversation between him and J'azhar. xD

YEP! Sounds accurate!

 

A binding would be pretty entertaining, and it would bring on some character development -- something that's woefully hard to do in a character with the emotional range of a toothbrush. Hit me up any time! I'd be glad to work something out. Or just play randomly. Random play is great.

EMOTIONAL RANGE OF A TOOTHBRUSH AHAHAHAHA. THAT'S GLORIOUS.

 

But yes, I can see where character development would be difficult with that. Hopefully we can work something out! Keep in mind that Lily is not dead just yet, like I said, so any interaction right now would be with her very much alive and able to get flustered. xD I'm trying to work on her glamour for her "serfdom" gear...which involves a lot of Turn 2 spamming... T_T That's part of the reason why she's not dead yet!

 

And also, of course! Random play is almost always the best way to go. Interacting while she's been summoned in that state could prove to be either hilarious or very serious, and either way it sounds like fun!

Asheloux secretly researches the void and has a habit of summoning things from there out of curiosity.  Asheloux himself is kind of cranky, grouchy, strict, yet gets excited when things involve aether.  He is very...in touch with aether so to speak but I think it would be interesting to work something out.  With him, ERP wouldn't a problem because he's not interested in touching other people (he wears gloves so he never has to come in contact with others) so I promise he's not a creep.  Just a grouch looking for a new servant 'cause his other one kinda got lost somewhere 'cause reasons >>

 

Since she's a bitch and Asheloux is kind of an ass I think that having a voidling who would argue and bicker with him would be nice.  

 

I'm in the start/middle of an arc where Asheloux could use a "supercharged Black Mage-classed, humanoid voidkin"for some of the research coming up--or even the expedition into the dungeon runs themselves. 

 

Not sure if this would be of interest to you but yeah.  He'd be willing to offer up his aether but I'm not too comfortable with killing him.  I think having someone like your character as a contact/summon for Asheloux would be an interesting secret for him to keep though as he does have a few other voidlings he likes to experiment on and use, etc.
