Nalerenn

Well, in an attempt to do something, I'd be up for it. Plus, Astral Form would be pretty useful in looking around. Count me in.

It depends mostly on how often he gets out of the school. The story will be taking place in the Soutside area of Freedom, mostly Lincoln and Southside but may flow over into other areas.

Does he patrol? And if he does, where?

Well, most likely every day or so, just to get used to humans outside of the school. Going by the map, I'd say he probably heads as far as Lonely Point, but not past the city just yet. Possibly Southside, but not as often as wanderings through Bayview.

Ignis isn't even from Earth. Does that count? =p

I know I, personally, would be up for this (sorry, just noticed the topic ^^; but I'm not sure how Nalerenn would get wind of it. Probably by picking up a few rumors around Claremont Academy, or something, but he hasn't started mind-reading the populace. At least, not yet anyway.

Just dropping a post here. Anyone still posting here other than me Sandman? I was giving things a break until someone else posted, just in case.

Soon, Nalerenn is there, examining the small creature in great detail, pretty much getting distracted from the topic of his mental broadcast. On the upside, his tattoo stopped glowing and the broadcast is no more.

"Curious... I have never seen a creature of this sort before. Rip... a strange name by my standards, but most of this planet you call 'Earth' is strange to me. What is your species, Rip?"

He continues looking at Rip, turning to get a better view from every angle, studying him intently.

"Pay no attention to my mental broadcast. It is but that, a broadcast. For me to understand your mental response, I would have to gain entry to your mind beforehand. While it may be within my ability to do so, I see no benefit from doing so. Although..."

He looks over to Kurt and Darian, a question obviously incoming.

"Is it not a taboo to do so between humans? I have not met a human with abilities such as mine, so I am afraid I do not know."

It seems the newcomer even grabs the ever-curious alien's attention, as he does stop forward, looking around Kurt.

"I see... Forgive my asking, but who is this 'Rip' you speak of? I assume it is a being of some sort"

Now he's pretty much in front of Kurt, but still looking him over, as if trying to spot this 'Rip' character. It seems his curiosity gets the better of him, as his tattoo glows for a moment as Nalerenn's voice echoes inside everyone's mind. Or at least, everyone nearby.

"Do not be alarmed. I am searching for the one named 'Rip'. If you are this person, please reveal yourself. I am curious as to your nature."

Nalerenn nods, taking it all in as he hangs on every word said.

"I see... You Humans are an interesting species, but I do not understand why you must have terms with more than one meaning. Is it that Humans are not sufficiently advanced to create terms with single meanings?"

If it wasn't for his inquisitive-sounding voice, that could probably be taken as an insult. Still, he really does look although he doesn't know what to examine next.

Nalerenn looks to each of the people as they're introduced, but Gordy seems to hold his attention quite a bit. Maybe it was the smile?

"Do you mean new to Earth, or new to this institution?" he asks. "I am afraid I do not know the terms you say. This 'geek' is new to me, I am afraid"

Even with these people around, he does look lost. It must be the whole 'alien territory' thing.

Just one, I'd say. Less clutter, that way.

While this is all happening, the big guy just stands back and watches, occasionally opening his muzzle to speak but re-thinking it. Just how do the humans do it... Wait, is that a human introduction? Ask if you know their name then introduce yourself? No, wait, that one asked about the day... Looks like that could be it. Nalerenn turns to Darian, looking down at him with obvious nervousness.

"It is a good day, yes?"

He does open his mouth to speak, but is distracted by Mura's arrival and subsequent departure. Is that how Humans do it? Strange... Maybe he'll ask about that later. He clears his throat and turns back to Darian.

"I apologize. You Humans are a strange race... I am not sure how to proceed."

Ah, where was it again... For a large wolf-like humanoid alien with mind-reading powers, he sure does seem to get lost easily. It must be the looks that put some people off helping him out of his futile wandering. Either that, or it's hard to tell if he's actually lost, given there's no others to compare facial expressions against. But still, Nalerenn wanders, looking around for some Samaritan that will lend a hand.

It isn't long before his wanderings lead him to the front desk, just as the call is put out for two people he never met before. He sort of stares at the intercom, intrigued by it, before he looks to the others. He opens his mouth to speak, but stops, looking pretty shy, before the strange green tattoo near his eye glows for a split second. Looks like he re-thought that one, too. It probably isn't a good human custom to mind-read people before you speak to them. With a deep breath, he steps forward, speaking to the two assembled here, although what's heard doesn't seem to be what he actually says. After all, how can a muzzle like that speak perfect English?

"I apologize if I intrude on anything important, but I seem to be lost. If it is not an encumbrance, may I ask for directions to the dwellings here? I am unfamiliar with the Human cartography..."

He lifts what looks like a guide book for the local zoo, not Claremont Academy. No wonder he got lost.

Well, I'm looking at dropping Ignis in, if you're okay with it. Y'know, get him introduced and all. Thought I'd ask first before posting ^^;;

I, too, have returned. Time for teh postings!

Well, just after getting approved, I won't be on at all this weekend. Tomorrow marks the first day of Auchinawa and I'm going to be attending. I'll be sure to bring back stuff. Probably photos, since people tend to underestimate my love for Pocky...

Yeah, I meant it to be 'all Hellfire'.

*slaps forehead* So it is. I misunderstood 'your own powers', there. Okay, I'll drop one rank of Mind Reading to shift a Power Point into Immunity.

Thanks =)

Actually, if it's not too late, one final adjustment to his powers. Swapping one rank of Comprehend for two ranks of Immunity (Cold environments, due to his fur, and Hellfire, due to the Flames of Disaster). I won't edit it in yet, just in case. That okay? It'd mean I drop speaking all languages at once, but it's a drop I'm fine with taking.

[EDIT] Just realized that 10 ranks would be for the cold descriptor, but that's not what I meant. Just cold environments. Sorry about not making that as clear as it could've been. ^^;;

Yup and yup. I'm good with that.

I've traded two ranks in Magic off to get a +2 to both the smaller saves. I did want the lower saves to emphasize his lack of combat experience, but meh. Changed his saves regardless.

Ah, okay. Thanks for filling the blanks. =)

That's another week. Am I doing something wrong, here? =/

Umm... I'm not sure on the rules of this, but it's been about a week now with no word. Was it forgotten? ^^;;

Touche. Okay, altered it a little to have Persistent and Regrowth, but also added Range to it. Hope that's okay.
