"I will do this deed; so that the dead remain undisturbed and the living spared Feigr's wroth." he puts his fist across his chest "On this you have my word; May you rest easy Thorvaldsson." he says &nbsp;as he pulls his sword from its resting place, giving it a slight flourish in salute to the viking. <Jinkies that was creepy...now how'm I supposed to get to Greenland...?> he ponders as he stands there, waiting In case Erik had more to say on the matter <Maybe I can find a cheap flight on the net...or see if I can push old aldonite enough to facilitate the journey...>

Jonathan was glad his great helm obscured his terror-stricken face, for a very unheroic look of dread had settled on it when the ghost had emerged from the great stone archways and begun talking about blood and bones and spirits and all that stuff; he took notice however of the ghosts translucent features, and due to his slight education in history found himself astounded to be talking face to face with none other than Erik the red. Now with his inner scholar overpowering his Inner coward he felt brave enough to begin speaking like aldonite had been teaching him. "Well Met, Erik the red of Greenland shores." he says in his baritone voice, trying to sound confident and prehapse a little older than he was. "I Will Do what i can for your kinsmen; Can thee tell me more of these omens?"

Power Descriptions: Damage power is portal located in his mouth that belches forth in blasts of Stone, Lightning, radiation, heat, or other such things contained within his internal dimensions, his dimensional pocket power is in turn forcibly drawing things and foes into it with a swirling vortex of white energy. History: Since time immemorial to him, Blu Has safeguarded his home, the living oceanic planet known as reef, battling those who would despoil its beauty and plunder its resources whilst simultaneously rescuing space farers in need and providing for the native species when called upon to do so. Occasionaly trapping evil-doers within his interior dimension till they reformed enough to be released onto reef’s surface to start a new life. Things recently became rather more complicated when a metallic suit of armour bore its way into reefs core and the planet became knighted and his base of opperations and responsibilities as well as those under his protection increased dramaticly. Personality & Motivation: Blu Is a fierce and loyal protector of the innocent, he has a special place in his heart for those that’re smaller and physically weaker than himself and none-sapient life forms, he is also immensely proud of his size and strength and his membership within the star knights (even if it is by a technicality) eager to go forth and do good for those now under his protection.

No Hands: Blu possesses no means of fine manipulation, though his large fins can be used to grasp and strike with,. Blu Doesn’t Socialize: Blu is a starknight by proxy of his living domain being knighted and as such made himself foe to those that oppose the star knights as well as shouldered a responsibility that he is ill suited for due to his considerable size and lack of social understanding. Redeemer: Blu has never killed any of his foes, choosing instead to imprison them either within himself or upon reef’s surface and in truth attempts to redeem them whenever possible, though he is no fool his trust and unwillingness to kill could be taken advantage of by wily or sneaky opponents; Particularly those who know of his fatal allergies to Pollutants.

"Graaagh!" Ulysses bellows in frustration as he feels his fingers slipping across the soft earthen surface of the creatures limb as it pulls away, somewhat unbalanced he attempts to at least give it a parting blow but he swings heavily and slowly as he regains his footing, not making contact in time. Now no longer tied down restraining the mighty creature he makes for the bank of the river with all due haste, settling beside a moderately large rock intending to throw it to see if he can draw the beasties Ire once he catches his breath.

lets go back to thumping it then i guess! Power attacking for -2/+2 1d20+6=10 eh gonna save that hp Ulysses will zip towards the river, standing next too a rock or something to try and hurl next turn.

"Unfortunately this means i am unable to teleports and i am not a very fast flyer...mayhap i should hitch a ride in our Aquila with you sitara?" he offers humbly. "Dragonid and our Mysterious friend are both much faster than myselfs."

Hmm i think moon moths got enough range on his teleport to travel fast enough to reinforce either side if trouble does brew, so maybe he should go with traveller in the ship and dragonid and solar sentinel can investigate the other pole, as they'be got similar flight speeds? (mine is somewhat slow and i can't bring anyone with me if i teleport.) so we all arrive together? or moon moth can go solo for a bit and the others race to meet him in the ship when they're finished with their one?

Moon-moth is enjoying the drink Amara has recommended too much to pay heed to what he assumes is a mating ritual between Sitara and kharag, its sugary sweetness has him enraptured even as it burns his throat and boils in his stomach, fogging his mind just that little with the beginnings of a pleasant buzz. "Is indeedings the goods!" he says with a squeaky hiccup, having drunk too much, much too quickly he presents his recpticle to the barman. "mores pleasings you thanks." he says a little more jumbled than usual, though prehapse more from excitement than inebriation.

"One problem at a times friends." moon-moth sighs as he looks up and out of the hole that lelak has made with his exit before activating his communicator "Was just a native, wes got a bit of a chore to do befores we go, i assume we'll be heading back and taking the aquilla, so bes preparing for lunch." moon moth says, before tapping the communicator back off a little too stressed to focus on the bothersome language that was galstandard. "I dids what i could to help speeds the evacuations butts im unsure how much good it did." moon moth mentions "4000 puppies is a lot for one moth to pull out of his hats,"

Huffing indignently ulyssess scrambles uneasily to his feet, still feeling a little bit of a sting from the impact of so much earth and rock bearing down on him and imprinting him into the ground, he reaches out with arms and applies the upmost of his strength to restraining the creature, forcing its leg to bend up and onto itself to hinder its movement and hopefuly make it easier prey for the people around him. "Don't you turn your back on me beastie, I was just catching my second wind!" he growls as he tightens his grip, impressing handprints into the compacted earth that made up the monsters body.

I will stand up and try something very foolish, i will try to grapple the beastie. 1d20+8=26 1d20+26=45 fortune favors the bold it seems! but how much?

Moon-Moth quite liked the bar, it was filled with interesting people, and it had a strange sort of vibration going through it that was like mouth-words but different in many ways, he was quite interested in learning what language the "band" was speaking that required metal implements, making a note to ask traveler about it later but for now he had rather more pressing issues to attend too, quietly and as subtly as he could he sidles up to Paradigm, she seemed the kind of person who wouldn't poke fun at him. "We's not got alcohols on lantern, you know?" he states, trying to make it sound as much as a interesting factoid to mention as a subtle plea for help; "Not sures what i should try first."

"Now is not a time for pettiness, the enemies are at the gates." moon-moth says, as much to himself as anyone else "I Will aid you in activating your relay, Lelak; Just tell me what you requires me to do." he says evenly, not wanting to ignite the mounting tensions any more than they have been so far. <Things were different back in his day and age, for certain, the grief certainly isn't helping eithers, best to just walk on eggshells for nows; Not an ideal solutions but it'd be a waste of both our times and energies to be knocking each-others around whilst the enemy burns the universe down around us.> he sends through the internal communication systems.

Moon-moth finds his eyes drawn to the maps and bends down over the one that represents lor-van where it was in millenia past. "This world has already succumbed to the communions advance...they created a Rifthole in its center." not too keen to tip his hand with magic at the moment whilst Lelak Casually ignored beings dissimilar to himself,hoping it was just because travellers similar shape to him was more comforting than his and dragonids rather diffrent morphologies "Its beens something of a silvery tide of devastations and atrocities." he informs him dourly "they're heading here next as we said...then probably to these other worlds indicated on this map." he says pointing them out one at a time. "it is strange they seem to be focusing there efforts for these locations; I assumes they is of some Import."

Player Name: Exaccus Character Name:Black Knight Power Level: 8 116/120PP Trade-Offs: -2 Attack / +2 Damage, -2 Defense / +2 Toughness Unspent Power Points: 4 In Brief: Inheritor of the mantle of the betrayer failsafe. Not Quite Up to Standard. Alternate Identity: Jonathan Hale Identity: Secret Birthplace: Wiltshire, England. Occupation: Unemployed Affiliations: N/A Family: Deceased Parents; Only Child. Description: Age: 18 (DoB: 1996, 10th of October) Apparent Age: 18 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian. Height:6' Weight: 150lbs Eyes: Dark Brown Hair: Black With sharp features and high cheek bones, Jonathan is somewhat handsome if bedraggled by his trials with fair skin and a pointed nose; he is somewhat q big boned young man with broad shoulders and a trim build; he might look older than he is to those who do not see him for long or with obscured features, possibly even then, till his trembling voice and doleful eyes reveal him for what he is, a mourning adolescent. Power Descriptions: The Celtic knot pattern that goes along the length of length of his sword glows with faint purple light when it is using its more obviously magical effects contained in his array. his armour though black as darkest night has a slightly opalescent sheen to its darkened metal that seems to flare when it thwarts attacks against him his portals are created by slashes in the air opening into swirling vortexes of purple and black that display the destination, his more personal transportations are much more subtle as he simply seems to disappear behind his own cloak in a spin, the garment collapsing into nothingness in his wake to reappear with him at his destination. this is little more than a theatrics on his part however and it is the sword that carries him. History: Born to an unsuspecting couple on a cold Octobers day Jonathan Hale, Son of Wilbur and Nikita Hale had lead a boring if slightly regimented life, sent to boarding school as soon as he old enough by parents he somewhat afraid didn't really want him around he had something of a good if distant relationship with them and eventually came to realize he was loved; It was still rather devastating when he was told they'd been found dead amongst the ruins of their small home in Wiltshire, Too young to access his trust-fund and too distraught by the death of his distant but loving parents to claim his inheritance and accept their deaths; bereft of a legal guardian the young man fell into destitution and deeper still despair; ejected from his school when his tuition ran dry he quickly found himself taken in as a John Doe by the government and given a small flat and stipend to live in; he's not quite sure how long he stayed there, the blank walls and eerie silence of the place was maddening and he barely registered the passing of time as he went about his day in silent introspection. That all changed one stormy night when, On an aimless walk around the streets at midnight; he noticed a large humanoid figure following him at a slow but steady pace, something in the very core of his being resonated as he set eyes upon the black cloaked form, its features Illuminated by a brief stroke of lightning revealed it to be what seemed a man in thick black armour sporting a massive great-sword in one hand; its mirrored surface glinting slightly in the faint glow of the street lights and lightning strikes; such a sight was more than enough to send his heavy heart into a terrified panic and his heavy legs running for safety from what he had thought an armed madman, not looking back so much as once till he had slammed and locked the door of his home behind him, it was needless to say quite a shock when he walked into his living room and found the figure there waiting in silence for him hands resting on the pommel of its weapon, now better illuminated and much closer it was somewhat easier to spot that the suit was empty once his mild panic attack had ceased and one tentative touch later revealed all to him in a rush of images and sensations. He had inherited the black mantle with the fall of his sire, he was to be the betrayer failsafe and strike down those whom would seek to wield Excalibur before the power could corrupt them too much and lead to the ruination of the world around them. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, Jonathan Hale was no warrior and in his first tentative sojourn against criminals ended with slight humiliation and failure, in part due to his inexperience with the powers now at his disposal and his unwillingness to deal out the draconian justice the sword urged, so now he finds himself seeking allies and perhaps get his life back on track and find peace with himself, if he doesn't fall in the line of duty as those before him have. Personality & Motivation Jonathan Hale is Still somewhat a child, clinging to the memories of his now dead parents and the desperate hope he was loved by them he upholds the mantle because he has inherited it from them more than anything else, his refusal to claim his inheritance stems from the worry he might have been disowned this coupled with the fact he was unaware of "the family business" leads him to feel outside of their issues. He remains however a good and selfless person who uses his artifacts of office to do what he thinks is best as best he can. Powers & Tactics unable to access the swords vaster array of powers due to his inexperience, he uses the power within aldonite in a somewhat simplistic way, namely as a really big sword with various effects, his tactics are rarely more complex than teleporting to flank and striking out at a hopefully surprised opponent. Complications "A Dark Omen": Those in the mystic know recognize the sword Aldonite and its bearer as a dark tiding, heralding the death of a beloved Leader, though mayhap not why. Sword of Damocles: Aldonite is somewhat sentient and highly opinionated able to communicate with its wielders and others who touch the blade through sensations and projected images and temporarily usurp the will of a unsuspecting wielder it is known to attempt to force situations to take the course it desires, being an artefact from a more draconian time this can lead to grave trouble; As he is infact a less than ideal wielder, Aldonite has a low opinion of the boy and will take direct actions whenever able over advising and counseling him; Partially due to disgust at his living in squalor at least till he has become of age and performed deeds worthy of his station as well as fulfilled the imperative; Securing an heir before his inevitable fall in battle after fulfilling his duty and laying low the wielder of the fomorian blade; Excalibur. Reviled By the Peers of the Realm: Being a literal black knight, that is to say a knight with no loyalty to a lord or king and not displaying his heraldry, other knights may look down on him as a brute and thug at best and a honourless dog at worst, this could lead to violence, Ostracization by communities in which they hold sway or in the case of particularly influential ones, more wide spread effects. Too Soon: Jonathan Is neither ready for the responsibilities that have been placed upon him or over the loss of his parents, finding himself easily provoked by those who bring them up and cowed by those more experience (Including aldonite on matters to which he is not morally opposed). Relationship: Jonathan has very recently entered into a casual romantic relationship with Arnasaq, a librarian he met whilst in Greenland; One of the few sources of comfort and support in his life there is very little she cannot cajole him into, a savvy criminal might do well to impersonate her, an extremely foolish one might threaten or attempt to strong arm her and draw a cataclysmic wrath down upon them self, with Aldonite more than willing to make use of this itself to coerce Hale into acting rashly and wielding its terrible power less reservedly .

"your words are weighed Annie Key and I find them lacking." the voice replies as he lifts her further up and over his head "I will now....DO NO MORE!" he errupts in a new voice, eyes streaming with tears "you'll do no more brutality with my hands! I don't care if you're god himself." he shrieks arms shaking with what might seem to be fury or fear but is a struggle to wrest control back from the interloping entity. "Do not interfere." the cold hard reply comes "This matter is not your concern anymore Vessel; you moved too slowly and indecisively you would let her free again to murder and destroy as she would in the name of petty personal vindictiveness, the old and weak who would use this train to journey through this unsafe land as much as the men building it." it bellows in reponse. "I would deal with this matter humanely! Not murder a little girl because she has Opinions!" he answers as he begins to stagger and turn annie key still held aloft over his head "She's lost so much already..." he croaks as the tears stream "I'll not let you take her life as well." and with that last statement full of firm resolve he hurls annie key away from himself, back into the cave and clutching his head begins the struggle for control in ernest. "Synaaapse if you're out there now would be a good time to brain me!" "DO NOT INTERFERE INTERLOPER."

Ulysses hand moves to his breast, his fingers seizing the shallowly embedded rivet by the head and pulling it out with a faint pop, he lets it clatter to the floor. "It is Impressive for you to have harmed this servant, I concede." the dull emotionless voice rings out before closing the distance in a blur of motion grasping her elbows in his hands and pinning her arms to her side before lifting her off the ground "But now you have confessed yourself Annie key; Justify your actions against me and this dimension's prosperity." he rumbles dangerously as he puts a slight squeeze on the helpless young lady "I may be moved to leniency. you are surprisingly talented." it state matter of factly, setting Ulysses glazed out eyes squarely on her own.
