Summary:

We're beating up the armies of Death. :D

We'll fill you in on the rest as you go along. We kinda already have a golem, but that's fine.


Heimdall:

Heimdall and the magicians turned around and walked wearily back. "While we're here at the rearguard, we can do some serious damage on the reserve troops," said Veneficus, trying to cheer everyone up. A healer went around and rejuvenated each of the magicians in succession much better than a Quintessence spell could have.

"Let's take down the rearguard. Quietly now..." Heimdall snuck slowly behind the enemy lines. He knew that the army was now heavily impaired. They now had a limited supply of warriors with their Boneyards and their Liches; it was only a matter of time.

They stepped into a small clearing... and immediately stopped. Before them stood 3 writhing monstrosities. They seemed to be avian, but were nothing like the birds that Heimdall was used to. For starters, they were huge- twice his size- and they seemed to be growing with every passing second. Their twisted, grey feathers fell off periodically. Their eyes were crazed and bloodshot, their beaks huge and like a pair of scythes fastened to each other.

"THIS is the reserve force?" Heimdall said as the gigantic avians continued growing.

"Condors," said Veneficus. "They start off as regular birds. Then, they start... they start eating one another. If there is great death going on around them, they feed off of the corpses and gain immense strength. At a certain point, they can simply siphon the dead souls around them for strength."

Oh no. Heimdall knew how many undead and alive had died in the battle. These things would be nigh impossible to kill by now! "We have to fight them here," said Heimdall. "To let them onto the battlefield is to sacrifice hundreds of the lives of our soldiers."

The Condors began to notice the seven magicians. Their great purple tongues flashed in and out. They were hungry.

Besides him, Veneficus and the others cupped their hands, forming a sphere of dark energy. Heimdall compressed his mind, preparing a mental assault. Let's get this over with, then.

OOC: Personally, if you're not willing to read it all, then I'd have to say we shouldn't have to fill you in. Your character wouldn't have any way of knowing anyway, so it's not like you really need to know anyway. ;)

InC:

Xanriel:

Good he's got her.

Xanriel brought his sword up in time to meet the blade of one of the two Dark Angels, knocking it to the side and bashing her with his shield, calling upon the magic of Light and activating the Reflective capabilities of the shield, a charge of energy bursting between them, sending her flying to the earth, her flesh seared, as a light began to grow, starting inside her chest and working it's way out of her, until she was completely fried. Her dead body burst into dozens of Rays of Light, which flew up to join the battle, battering into the body of the last of Astariel's accomplices, who shrieked in defiance as she flew at Xanriel. His golden wings shone brighter than before, turning into a reflective metal. As she flew to him, he too charged her. In the last second, before the two came into contact, he extended his wings to their full length and dove, bringing him into a somersault through the air, his wings and sword slashing through the center of the angel, and as he burst through the others side, the angel split in half, falling to the ground.

Spreading his wings to keep him aloft, Xanriel turned toward Sirenes and flew with all the speed he could muster, cutting off Astariel just before an attack with the same tactic she used, tackling her through the sky. The two stopped twenty feet away and broke apart, sword held ready to strike as each waited for the other to attack.

Well, Wardead, I think it would be better if you avoid making a character too similar to Dorfl. Come on, there are better Fire characters than golems. :P

And about the Fire/Water war... I don't really want to drag the Nymphs into this. In my mind the Nymphs are created by Zanzarino, and they don't have more affiliations with Water than with other elements. The Nymph Queen can be involved in the war, but I just don't think that the Nymphs are rare because they were all killed off in the war. I tend to think that the Nymphs are rare because Zanz made them so.

I'll try to fill you in on everything... Editing.

I'm going to leave Ragen completely out of this, since Reasoner ditched the game.

In the beginning, Heimdall, the Ulitharid, met Xanriel, the Fallen Angel in Xanriel's apothecary shop. Because Heimdall unknowingly probed Xanriel's mind and exposed his secrets, Xanriel had to abandon his shop and travel to the Aetherlands. Both Heimdall and Xanriel has quarrels against the Fallen Elves, so they agreed to join forces. On the way to the Aetherlands, they met Jonathan, the Vampire/Demon hybrid, who agreed to help them against the Fallen Elves if they'll help him against the False Vampires of Death.

At some random inn, we met Dorfl, the Lava Golem, who has an agenda against Graviton. He agreed to help us if we help him later. Then we met Zanthos, the Elf, who wants to kill Chaos Lord and destroy the Fallen Elves. We all decided to joined forces. We sparred with each other to test our fighting capabilities. In Jonathan's spar against Xanriel, Xanriel used Aflatoxin on Jonathan and created Malignant Cells. This gave Xanriel a delusion that he was able to create life, which would lead him to insanity later.

We decided to travel through the Kingdom of Darkness, to the Entropic Shores. In the Kingdom of Darkness, we met Nyxia, a Dark Nymph and Jonathan's lover. Before we left, Xanriel decided to experiment with Aflatoxin and Malignant Cells, slowly becoming corrupted.
Then Mavros, Jonathan's uncle who betrayed the Vampires of Darkness to the False Vampires of Death, led an undead army to invade the town the group is staying in. We then had our first huge epic fight. During the fight, Xanriel used Aflatoxin extensively, and finally became insane; he thought he had seen his "brother" Exriel, who is in fact a twisted version of himself. Then, Jonathan showed his True Form as the Master of Darkness, Bloodshadow, becoming a gigantic black dragon on steroids. He shot a huge blast of dark energy, which got accidentally absorbed by a severely weakened Dorfl and temporarily made him berserk. The Dark version of Dorfl tried to convert everyone to Darkness; he infected Xanriel with Darkness, giving him a new form and completely turning him into a Dark Angel.
When Jonathan, as Bloodshadow, killed Mavros, Mavros activated a pendant that temporarily summoned Morte's spirit into his body. Then we had this fight with the False God, but in the end Morte ran away.

After that first war, we went to the Entropic Shore to complete our quest against the Fallen Elves. There we met Sirenes, a half-Nymph; she was harassed by some random idiots and we helped her out. She was frightened by Xanriel, who seemed insane at that time.
Immediately after, we were attacked by Fallen Elves, and Sirenes got dragged into the conflict. We then had another big fight against lots of Fallen Elves, a Fallen Druid champion, and an uber mutant dragon. Zanthos got knocked out and captured by a bunch of Fallen Elves, who tried to corrupt him with Entropy and turn him into a Fallen Elf; however, Zanthos's will was strong enough to temporarily suppress the Entropy. And as Xanriel killed more and more Fallen Elves, his own identity got more and more mixed up with his darker self Exriel. Before we won, the Druid teleported away, saying that if we want to finish the fight, go to Chaos Gate.
We went to Chaos Gate. Immediately after we set foot on the island, we got hit by Chaos Lord's super Entropy-PU spell, which created twisted versions of ourselves for us to fight:
  For Heimdall, it created a twisted version of his childhood friend Loki. Loki demonstrated the ability to revive himself using his mind. He froze Heimdall with an Ice Bolt, then killed him with Shockwave. Heimdall revived himself using his own mind; as a result he got ice infused in his blades, and an ice shard stuck on top of his head.
  For Zanthos, the spell created a Fallen Elf version of himself, who tried to corrupt Zanthos with Entropy again. Zanthos beat the Fallen version of himself, and temporarily awakened as the Master of Life.
  For Dorfl, the spell created an Ice Golem with the same abilities as him. Dorfl nearly lost, but a mysterious woman appeared in his mind and lent him help. Dorfl was able to temporarily use his powers as the Master of Earth.
  For Xanriel, he had a mental battle with Exriel, the manifestation of the Death power inside himself. With the help of his father Miracle, Xanriel awakened as the Master of Light and sealed Exriel away, restoring himself to a proper Angel.
  For Jonathan, the spell created a twisted Death version of himself called Johann. Jonathan could not beat Johann because their power levels are identical, so he called upon the powers of the Master of Darkness deep inside himself. However, unknown to him, he was not able to kill Johann.
After we all finished out fights, we had this battle with Chaos Lord. We combined all our power into one attack, and killed Chaos Lord. This released a piece of the Void, the 13th element, that was sealed away in each FG.
In the end of this arc, the heavily injured Johann escapes and finds some of the Malignant Cells left behind by Exriel. Their bodies merge, but their minds destroy each other; a new being called Necrosis is born.

After the Entropy war, we were going to go to the Dead Marsh in the quest against Morte, but Nyxia sent Jonathan a telepathic message that Incarnate will recruit them into his troops; he was going to invade the Dead Marshes with his army. The group then goes back to the Kingdom of Darkness to meet Incarnate.
Before we left, Xanriel went to Sirenes to apologize to her for scaring her, being insane and creepy, when he was Exriel. They began to fall in love with each other from that point onwards.
We went to Umbrios, the Capital of Darkness, the citadel that once belonged to Jonathan's father but now belonged to Incarnate. We met Incarnate and had a feast. During the feast, Incarnate announced that Jonathan will be leading the army. Incarnate's son, Kain, was very angry about this because he had conflicts with Jonathan in the past; he challenged Jonathan to a fight. Incarnate then said that he'll test the strength of our party by letting them spar with his champions, if they want to.
The next day, Jonathan had a fight with Kain. Kain used his FG powers to overwhelm Jonathan, but Jonathan then summoned his Master powers to completely pwn Kain. When Jonathan used his Master powers, Incarnate's third eye opened. During the fight, Sirenes was about to be accidentally injured by Kain's attack, but Xanriel protected her; he realized that he is now a Guardian Angel.
Heimdall fought Veneficus, an elite Vampire magician. During the fight, Heimdall was somehow able to cast an uber thunderbolt to defeat Veneficus. He became aware of his Aether powers.
After the fight, we met Max, who was a Fallen Elf / mutant werebutterfly demon. He was grateful that we freed his village from the control of Chaos Lord, and wanted to help us in our quest. Jonathan, Xanriel and Heimdall joined their minds to give Max a mental probe to make sure that he is telling the truth. For some reasons, this mental probe revealed the past memories of all four people involved in it, and it showed Max's mysterious connections to Destiny.
That night, Incarnate requested a meeting with Jonathan. He said that Bloodshadow, the original Master of Darkness, gave his third eye to Incarnate so that when he reincarnates, the eye will be returned to him. Incarnate then transplants that eye into Jonathan, showing him memories of his past life.
The next day, Jonathan sparred with Nyxia to test out his new abilities after getting the Eye of Darkness.
Heimdall went to find Veneficus, to learn about his Aether powers. Heimdall and Max agreed to test out the power of the thunderbolt: Max set up a Dissipation Shield, and Heimdall launched the thunderbolt at the shield to test its strength. The resulting energy was powerful enough to fuel a Destroy spell that obliterated a giant boulder.

After that, we proceeded to the Death war. Currently, we're fighting the vanguard of the Death army, outside the Dead Marsh.
Right now, Jonathan, Nyxia and Kain are fighting a Reaper. Xanriel and Sirenes are fighting the Fallen Angel named Astariel, who was Xanriel's previous lover. Heimdall and Veneficus are fighting some giant Condors, after fighting a bunch of Wraiths.
Our next battle will be with a troop of False Vampires, led by the reanimated Mavros. Then, we'll fight Necrosis.

Meanwhile, our secondary characters are also interacting with each other.
In the Desert of Time, Sekhor the Anubis and Master of Time was guarding a caravan. He runs into Alexandra (was she half-genie or something? XD), who resembles Mariah, the original Mistress of Air. They had some talking and other stuff.
In the Earthen Mountains, Mordekai the Graviton Firemaster was trying to retrieve the weapon Titan from the Gnome Gemfinders. He used a super Gravity Pull to get Titan back, but it also launched himself into the Desert of Time. He found Sekhor's caravan and asked to stay for the night.
Sekhor and Mordekai are currently talking to each other. Sekhor recognized Izekiel, Mordekai's grandfather, as the original Master of Gravity.
Somewhere else in the Desert of Time, Faustus the super-zombie and Eliza the Death Nymph (names directly copied from Shaman King) was trying to break into a pyramid, to find a secret to restore Faustus back to life.

About the Void, Zanzarino, the Masters of Elements, and the False Gods:
The Void was the 13th element that wanted to end all existence. Zanzarino and the Masters combined their powers to break apart the Void, and seal the bits inside the False Gods. The spell consumed all the Masters' life force, and they all reincarnated except Sekhor, who did not want to sacrifice his life for something he does not believe in.

When we killed Chaos Lord, we released a piece of the Void. That piece of Void will then go and possess a young man named Malcolm, giving him mind control powers. Malcolm will then go and capture Nymphs of various elements, brainwashing them and telling them to capture other Nymphs for him; he intends to use the powers of the 12 Nymphs to completely release the Void.
After we finish the Death war, we will proceed to the Gravity story arc for Dorfl. But then, Jonathan will telepathically find out that Nyxia had been kidnapped by Malcolm, so he'll temporarily leave the group and look for her. Malcolm brainwashed Nyxia and told her to capture a Death Nymph, who is Eliza; when Jonathan rescues Nyxia, he'll meet Faustus, Eliza, and Necrosis.
Note: The above had not yet happened; that's our plan for the next arc.

For each False God we kill, the Void and Malcolm will become stronger. Eventually Malcolm will become so strong that he won't need the Nymphs anymore; he'll simply go and devour all the FGs, and turn himself into the False Overgod. The final battle of this RPG will be all twelve Masters against the False Overgod.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

1) It's been said, it's been done. nymph's were rare before the war, and are rarer now that it's over. I think she meant water nymph's specifically.

It's her back story, and that's what she's said has happened, so that's how it is.

2) If he wants to play a golem, then a golem he shall play

I'm merely making suggestions. I don't know if he has room for negotiations, but if he doesn't, then I can't do anything about it.

If Sirenes meant Water Nymphs specifically, then that's perfectly fine.

BTW, I'm still writing the summary of all 69 pages...

[OOC] No, not just water nymphs. There was a war in general that broke out between the nymphs in the specific area. I'm saying that in the area of fire, it was probably mostly water beings because water is strong against fire. It's not just a war between water and fire. It's a war between nymphs and others in which the nymphs called allies to help them, because their small numbers wouldn't be able to withstand it.

[INC]
Sirenes squirms a bit as the spectre curls around her and pulls her into a safer and more fitting position between Max's wings. "Thank you!" She sighs with relief, giving him a gentle pat on the back.

OK, my summary is done. Did I miss anything important?

It's really long, but at least it's better than 69 pages, right? :P

"Okay Ms. Mermaid... let's beat the crap out of this ex of yours!" :entropy [ Chaos Power ]


OOC: Um, maX was mentally grilled by the 3 masters and then all bonded from a pan-dimensional time-warp-memory jogger where Destiny visited them. Zanthos wasn't sure about this "twice fallen elf" but was subjected to mAx's charm called anti-matter and they became sorta friends with a hostile-helpful kind of a relationship. Heimdall confirmed his Aetheric powers of lightning as MAx honed and calibrated his Dissipation Shield with the energy converted into a Destroy spell. MaX has a pet/familiar mutant Spectre that gathers :darkness to make :entropy. MAX is currently Sirenes' mount.  ;)

I'm thinking that mAX is a half-blood hatched from one of Destiny's Fate EGgs (conjured with the help of Dream Catcher maybe?). This particular egG was either lost or stolen or both. Destiny having found her creation some time after, tracked maX's development and sent some aid when she could. Now, I'm thinking some mischievous or evil FG stole a precious artifact and needed retrieval. Good for a future quest? Might also be a good way to link the paths of Sekhor and his gang.

"Yes, please. Let's." Calling shards of ice, she launches them all at once at Astariel, who shifts her attention to Sirenes and her new mount. Drawing back her sword she slashes once in their direction, a wave of pure energy following through with the motion. It slices through the shards of ice, either knocking them off course or shattering them into tiny useless pieces. The attack continues on and Max quickly dodges around it.

"HEY, that's not nice!" He yells at her.

OOC: So, what's Astariel's stats and weapons or powers?

InC: Shouting above the wind, "Hey Sirenes! Would you know anything about this bitter angel's strengths and/or weaknesses, if any... Or, anything at all to make him FALL? Get it? Fall! hahahahahahaha" In the meantime, making an 8 loop with Astariel now in their far right, just close enough to be visible in their peripheral vision. Gathering some entropic energy from Dex, maX decided to roll the dice.....

Ok I will take part in the main quest if I can, *looks at map*. Looks like the whole story is based on Jonathan, maybe because Blood wrote the summary. Anyways, my stroy will be in Italics to make it specific. And I have the ability "Morph" to morph into a Phoenix and Ash only.

 :fire

*As Vaxyos transforms to a Phoenix to head to the Frozen North, a heavy wind blows him to the border of the Kingdom of Darkness and he saw Incarnate's fortress. Thinking that they might recognize him as an intruder, he flys over Incarnate's citadel and turns into ash. He overhears Incarnate talking to his general or someone in the window, about the Master Of Darkness and his son in The Dead Marshes fighting hordes of Death creatures. Even though Darkness is evil to him, Death is just plain cruel. He heads to the border of the Dead Marshes and see a few number of people fighting groups and groups of Death creatures. He also sees a nymph fighting a Fallen Angel. She seems weak, but Vaxyos decided to join the group and learn about the whole story of the War from her. He grab his Fahreinheit, but he don't know what to do with it. If he kills even one creature, suspicions will arise about him, Who is he? What is he doing here? And not to mention hordes of creatures will try to kill him. But Vaxyos took his chance and dashed into the army killing some. He tries to assist the nymph, but he was trapped between the ranks of the army. He hoped for some help.
