This sounds strangely like the Shadow rangers. . . is that where you got the idea?

No. The idea was all our own. The Shrouded name fit well for a ranger, so we stuck with it. Before that, we were the Valenwood Rangers. To be totally honest, we had no idea The Shadow Rangers existed before we posted this topic.

Brief Description of your characters personality: A very philosphical character that has been to strange worlds and is really in touch with his spiritual side, Zelphar also sometimes makes implusive decisions but all in all hes a generous elf but he will fight if he has to but doesn't start fights and he tries to solve problems with negotitation.

Why do you wish to join?: Zelphar wishes to join because he is at the moment a wanderer and feels like he needs a place to call home and people to call family and what would be better than the Shrouded... their elves just like him and have organized hierarchy.

rp Scenarios:

1: *Zelphar walks up to the band of villains and says "I am here on behalf of the Black hand an organization of crime that will significantly boost your pressence and power in Aegis as criminals, you will get much more money and contracts from the black hand if you let me blend in amongst you to get information your group to report back to the Black hand about." Leader says "Alright." Leader gives Zelphar a place to sleep and to watch their day to day activities while Zelphar asks them questions about their group. When Zelphar has became friendly with Corlier he would then simply stab him in the neck and then run from the camp.

2. Zelphar would act really emotional and yell "I KNEW YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME YOU TRAMP!" Zelphar would act as if he was the cuckold husband and that he caught his wife in the act. This will either suprise the man she was cheating with causing him to apologize to Zelphar and leave or this would cause the man to fight Zelphar. Zelphar would fight and if he is losing he would run to the shrouded for reinforcements but if he was winning he would beat him up and then call the husband of the wife over to see whats going on.

3. Zelphar would investigate the new mayor and how close he was with the old mayor before the mayor died to deduct a motive. Zelphar would then decide if he thinks the new mayor did it or not. If Zelphar thinks the new mayor did it he would try to get past the gaurds of the mayor's building by persuading them and saying that he was a Town Lore keeper for the Aegisian guild of Records and say that he had to talk to the mayor about the town's lore and population so he could record it in the books. When Zelphar gets inside the mayor's building he will try to make friends with the mayor and offer him some mead and talk about how his job is boring and then he would get the mayor drunk enough to open the chest and take the diamond sword and bring it to the leader.

Bio:

Zelphar was born in the legendary land of elves

that Lorican came from, the land of Detronoe. Zelphar was born

into a humble family that lived in the tree village of Rutinoe.

His dad Calsphar was a famous artist in the village and he was

loved by many villagers. Zelphar's mother Wecsomia was a

priestess of the Patron god of Rutinoe Earweius and led

villagers in prayers and ceremonies at the grand shrine. Zelphar

started to go to the Rutinoe temple of knowledge for his

education at the age of 6 just like the other elven children.

Zelphar was taught the history of Detronoe, the history of

Rutinoe, the arts of Nature, the guidelines of nature, and how

to Astral project. At school Zelphar didn't talk to the other

children much, he was really into his studies and didn't want

distractions. When Zelphar was 7 something life changing

happened. One day he was reading a book on the history of

Detronoe in the garden, and two elven boys were setting fire to

a bundle of branches and some flowers. Zelphar closed his book

and approached the boys. Zelphar told them that it was againest

the guidelines of nature to do that. The boys laughed at Zelphar

and continued. Zelphar took some water from the fountain and put

out the fire with it. The boys got angry and approached Zelphar.

One boy restrained Zelphar while the other one punched Zelphar

repeatedly in the stomach. Zelphar elbowed the kid holding him

and approached the kid that was hitting his stomach. Zelphar

dodged the kid's punch and grabbed his neck. Zelphar threw the

kid by his neck into the fountain. Zelphar then stood over the

kid and mercilessly whailed on his face with his fists. The

child was bleeding. Blood turned the fountain water a dark red

color. The other kid looked in terror and did not try and stop

Zelphar. Zelphar realized what he had done... the kid was dead.

Zelphar ran out of the garden and ran out of Rutinoe. Zelphar

ran for miles until he was tired and he reached a swamp. Zelphar

fell asleep in the swamp. Zelphar had a dream where there was a

man with long pointy ears longer than any elf he had seen, black

holes for eyes, black hair, green leather shirt, and brown pants

sitting on a log in the swamp weeping. In the dream the man

stopped weeping and turned around to look at Zelphar. Zelphar

was terrified at the sight. Zelphar screamed and the dream

ended. Zelphar woke up to whispers in the swamp. The whispers

were calling his name. The whispers were of the man in Zelphar's

dream. Zelphar called out and asked who was whispering. The

voice said "I am Velkarith the man in your dream, I dwell in

this swamp forever bound to eternal loneliness, I cannot leave

this place unless someone lets me be their spirit guide, but all

the elves who venture in this swamp are terrified of me when I

show myself in their dream." Zelphar was so confused as to what

was happening. Zelphar said "Why are you trapped here?"

Velkarith said "If you really cared you would let me be your

spirit guide." Zelphar said "I am not a fool even though I am

only 7 years old, I still know that you could be trapped here

for a good reason." Velkarith laughed and said "You are a clever

young boy what is your name?" Zelphar replied "Zelphar, tell me

why you are trapped here." Velkarith said "Ok Zelphar get

comfortable because this might be a long story. When you astral

projected for the first time you saw beings that were only there

in astral projection but not when you were in your physical

body, well those beings were born in that plane of existance and

to you thats called the astral plane but to my people it is

called Zecraimux, Zecraimux is a plane of existance that is one

step higher then your plane of existance, if you astral project

into Zecraimux you could imagine something and it would be

there, but you only see it because it is within your aura. If I

were to astral project I would end up on a higher plane then

Zecraimux but if I were to lower my vibrations I would end up on

your plane of existance and I could imagine something and it

would be there but you would only see me not the thing I

imagined. So far far away in Zecraimux there is a world named

Xraisfar and there is a race of beings that look like me and

they are called the Chiropterrans. I was the prince of a large

chiropterran empire and obviously my father was the king. My

father was murdered and a secret organization that planned on

taking over the throne and implementing a republic framed me and

gathered false evidence that I killed my father so I could be

king. Then of course the new king exiled me and bounded my soul

to one specific spot in time and space, here.This all happened

exactly 80 Centillion years ago... so it was basically three or

four universes ago. I just sat in this spot in space and time

for 80 centillion years watching empires die and revolutions

succeed, I saw many wonders of technology that would blow your

mind, I've seen robots, rockets, spaceships, teleporters,

cloning, cars, planes, artillery, guns, aw forget it you

probably dont even know the meanings of those word. What I am

saying is I watched this very world form around me, I watched

this swamp form around me. Please just let me be your spirit

guide, I don't want to be here any longer." Zelphar was

overwhelmed by all of this information and he said " Ok your my

spirit guide so what happens now?" Velkarith said " Well now I

read your mind to see what I can guide you on and I will see you

in your dreams from now on... don't worry I will hide my face."

Zelphar said "Read my mind... wait." Velkarith read Zelphar's

mind and knew about what just happened. Velkarith said " You

just killed a child your age?" Zelphar said with sorrow and

regret "Yes... yes I did... but I had no intentions of killing

him." Velkarith said "Alright... your obviously wanted now... I

suggest you run to the nearby tree city of Frotanoe and live as

an orphan, do not worry I will watch over you." Zelphar was in

shock and he cried in the swamp for hours at the thought of him

having to leave his parents. Velkarith said " Zelphar it is your

only safe way out of this, the city states in Detronoe are not

under an empire, they are independant that means that Frotanoe

will not know of what you have done, go now the skirmishers of

Rutinoe are coming, I can see their torches." Zelphar ran

towards the city of Frotanoe, he knew where the city was because

Velkarith was transmitting directions into his mind. The

Skirmishers were running after Zelphar. Zelphar fell through a

pit in the ground and was knocked unconcious. The Skirimishers

lost Zelphar and returned to Rutinoe. Zelphar awoke in a pit

with a small beam of sunlight beaming down on him from above.

Zelphar heard a weird beast like noise coming from the

surrounding darkness in the pit. A 10 eyed purple beast with

spikes on its head and a big black spotted slimy body emerged

from the darkness and roared in Zelphar's face. Zelphar screamed

and tried to climb the dirt wall out of the pit. Velkarith

lowered his vibrations and appeared in the pit. Velkarith winked

at Zelphar and burned the beast with a strange device then faded

away. Zelphar climbed out of the pit. Zelphar continued on the

path to Frotanoe. Once Zelphar reached Frotanoe he immediately

went to an inn and acted tired and hungry. The innkeeper felt

sorry for Zelphar and gave him food and let Zelphar stay the

night. Zelphar had a dream where Velkarith was talking to him in

a strange sancturary in a snowy mountain place. Velkarith said "

Zelphar I observed the village of Rutinoe, they have given up

searching for you, but you cannot come back because they know

you fled to a different city and will kill you if you try and

come back." The dream ended. Zelphar awoke in the inn's

basement. Zelphar joined an orphanage and lived there for 2

years while having dreams of Velkarith and getting advice from

him. When Zelphar turned ten years old Velkarith came to him in

his dream and said "Listen Zelphar I know we bonded for these

past two years but I have to leave you..." Zelphar said " No..

please don't go... your my only friend... why do you have to

leave?" Velkarith said "Because its time you learn to live on

your own and to figure things out yourself.... sorry Zelphar but

these are my final words of advice, Whatever the future brings

always know that your aura will stand through the tough times

and the easier times, goodbye Zelphar." The dream ended...

forever. Zelphar woke up crying in the orphanage. Zelphar was

lost and had no guidance whatsoever. Zelphar continued his life

as an orphan until the age of 20 when he left the orphanage.

Zelphar worked as a local fisherman and salesman. Zelphar would

have a routine life of waking up, catching fish, selling them,

meditating, then going to sleep. This was Zelphar's routine life

for 30 years. Zelphar was 50 years old and still strong and

young. Zelphar became depressed because of his routine life

style even though he was the wealthiest man in the city of

Frotanoe. Zelphar owned the biggest tree home in the city.

Zelphar was lonely though, he always wished his spirit guide

would come back, but he knew it would never happen. When Zelphar

was 54 years old he decided the only way to see he spirit guide

again was to commit suicide. Zelphar stood on the ledge of his

tree home balcony looking down upon the humble torch lit city of

Frotanoe while crying. Zelphar was about to jump off until he

felt and hand on his shoulder. An old voice said "Great

fisherman of Frotanoe please reconsider this, your aura is one

of regret and sorrow with a faint trace of peace and love from

your childhood." Zelphar said "Who are you?" Zelphar turned and

saw an old elven man with a long grey goatee. The old man said

"I am Dalridor the sage, I live out in the forest, I came here

as soon as I sensed a aura that was going through great pain and

sorrow." Zelphar stepped down from the balcony and said "

Dalridor how do you plan to help me?" Dalridor said " Well I

started helping you by making you step down from the ledge hm?"

Dalridor then said " Listen I want to root out the Sorrow and

regret in your aura and bring to light the Peace and love that

you once had." Zelphar said " How will you do that?" Dalridor

said " First you will have to abandon this life of material

goods and luxury, then you must come with me to my sancturary."

Zelphar agreed with Dalridor and travelled with him to his

sancturary. Once Zelphar reached the sancturary he set up his

room went to sleep. In the morning Dalridor brought Zelphar to

his garden and talked about Zelphar's sorrow and regret. Zelphar

admitted that his sorrow comes from his lost spirit guide and

that his regret come from the murder he commited when he was 7.

Dalridor told him in order to clear his aura of this guilt he

would have to astral project and seek out the person he killed

when he was 7. Dalridor told Zelphar that sorrow is a personal

matter that will go away as you help people and when you get rid

of the guilt. When Zelphar was 60 years old he was still young

and he had mastered the ways of Astral projection, so he was

ready to seek out the person he killed when he was 7. Zelphar

astral projected and he travelled the astral plane searching for

the person he murdered. Zelphar saw a orb of light zipping

through the astral forest he was in. Zelphar chased the orb of

light all the way to a beach where the moon was shining bright

above the ocean and the moonlight glared upon the waters.

Zelphar was in awe at the astral sea in front of him. The orb of

light was stationary also watching the moon. Zelphar walked up

to the orb and felt that it was the person he murdered. Zelphar

asked what is your name? The orb illuminated the entire beach

and the light filled Zelphar's mind with events that happened

since Zelphar murdered him. The orb sung playfully and happily.

Zelphar was confused and asked why do you forgive me for what I

did? The orb said "Because as soon as I died my cares were no

longer of the physical plane, but of the astral plane, I have

met many beings along the way and have had many adventures with

them... I know it sounds strange to your ears but I thank you

for killing me." Zelphar cried so much at the words the orb

stated. The orb illuminated Zelphar with a warm light and said "

There there, we all make mistakes." Zelphar said while weeping

"I am sorry, please forgive me!" The orb said "I forgave you as

soon as I died Zelphar, I feel your feelings right now... I know

you are truly sorry." The astral projection ended and the guilt

of the murder washed away. Zelphar was no longer sad or guilty.

Zelphar learned a valuable lesson and that was that it is right

to forgive people for what they have done." Dalridor knew that

Zelphar's aura was cleansed and it was filled with peace and

love. Zelphar stayed with Dalridor for 50 more years. In that 50

years Zelphar learned many things and he had a child with a

Frotanoe village woman named Busckwen. The Child's name was

Xanpher, the child was named after the person Zelphar murdered

when he was 7. Zelphar loved that child with all the love he

had. Zelphar was now 110 years old living with Dalridor and

Xanpher in Dalridor's sancturary. Zelphar was living the dream,

he would meditate with his son and Dalridor then he would tend

the garden and learn with his son from Dalridor. 20 years later

when Zelphar was 130 years old and Xanpher was 24 years old

Dalridor died of natural causes at the age of 302. Zelphar and

Xanpher did not mourn Dalridor because they knew he was floating

around and living in eternal happiness. A month later the lord

of Frotanoe declared that a trade embargo be established

againest the village of Rutinoe because Rutinoe was trading

Earweius art and Earweius Religious texts. Frotanoe did not

believe in Earweius as their patron god so they put a trade

embargo on the village of Rutinoe. Rutinoe was offended and took

it as a sign of disrespect to Earwius so they assassinated the

Lord of Frotanoe. A full scale war between Frotanoe and Rutinoe

took place, many lives were being lost. Zelphar decided that he

had to do something. Xanpher being young and filled with passion

wanted to fight on the side of Frotanoe since he knew that

Zelphar was wanted by Rutinoe. Zelphar urged Xanpher to not go

to war but Xanpher already became a skirmisher for Frotanoe.

Zelphar tried to figure out a way to stop this war. Zelphar

astral projected on the night of a giant battle between the two

cities and he was above the battle watching it play out. He

spotted his son amongst the men slaughtering Rutinoe

skirmishers. Zelphar got so angry that he imagined himself as

the major god of Detronoe that everyone believed in. The god was

Saelerus. Zelphar took form of a 100 ft tall Saelerus and

lowered his vibrations just enough for the two cities to see his

imaginary Saelerus. Zelphar disguised as saelerus yelled with a

booming voice "THIS WAR IS POINTLESS I WILL ADD ONE FINAL

GUIDELINE TO THIS WORLD, ALL GODS SHALL BE RESPECTED WITH

EQUALITY, NOW STOP THIS PETTY DISPUTE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED

HERE!" Then Zelphar went back to his physical body in his bed at

the sancturary. The war was over and Frotanoe and Rutinoe

respected each other's patron gods. Zelphar was in his bed and

all of the sudden the real Saelerus came to him. Saelerus said

"You have did a good deed uniting these two cities, but I will

have to exile you for an undetermined period of time from these

lands, for you have impersonated me, spread peace and love to

the new world you appear in, do not worry for I shall open the

portal back to Detronoe while you are still living... but it

will be unexpected, goodbye." Saelerus instantly sent Zelphar to

Aeonis. Zelphar found an elven town led by Lord Galath, Galath

built Zelphar a tree home which he lived in for 2 years.Zelphar

then decided to join the Tetra to train to be a Loremaster and

document the races and factions of Aeonis. When Zelphar was 136

years old he built a large sanctuarary in the snowy mountains of

Aeonis where he would go on to be a philospher and Tetra

loremaster for three years. When Zelphar was 139 years old the

Nords waged a violent war with the Tetra, Zelphar's mountain

sancturary was destroyed in the process, Zelphar fought the

raiding Nords until they left his sancturary. The sancturary was

destroyed and Zelphar was in pure sadness, all of the things

that happened in his life were not good, within those three

years his guide Velkarith came back to him but then he died of

old age and many other things happened. Zelphar couldn't take

it... how he tried to do so much good but all he got in return

was devastation. At that moment Saelerus appeared to Zelphar in

the destroyed sancturary and said "It is time to go back to

Detronoe... step into the portal Zelphar." Zelphar in

anticipation stepped in the portal. A wave of warmth and freedom

rushed through his soul as he went through the portal. A strange

god that Zelphar never had heard of or has encountered

interfered with the aura of the portal causing it to transport

Zelphar to the world of Aegis. Zelphar arrived to the sight of a

large orc city, he had never seen an orc and was terrified at

the sight, he ran for miles until he reached the elven capital.

Zelphar travelled for one year and was 140 years old.

Zelphar was ready to enlighten and solve Aegis's biggest problems but then after two years of trying to help, he came to a startling realization that Aegis was a totally different world then his ancient home. Zelphar was now 142 years old just struggling to do what he can to survive in Aegis while also trying to spread his views and tell of his tales. Now Zelphar is 143 years old and is starting to regain the view on Aegis he had before, that there is hope and that he can change this new world.

[ShadowNinji 34]

You ripped off our guild...pretty bad too.

We are the Shadow touched. Formerly known as the Shadow Rangers we are now known as the Shad'Rin.

We fight to protect aegis but will do so using any means nessicary. Some people would consider us "evil" for some of the things we must do to accomplish our goals but our overall goal is to protect aegis and protect life. We also take contracts to intimidate people, assassinate people ( I have an accepted villain app to accomplished this since you can't actually kill people in situations like this with out one) escort people, and recover stolen items. Having 15 members we have enough for a town charter in the next world and also we have 3 diamond donors and a bedrock donor not to mention a few gold and steel members as well( I am diamond it just hasn't been updated yet.) So we will have a main city and a bunch of outposts around New Aegis

Http://shadrin.webs.com - go here for extensive lore about our guild

I strongly urge You to join us because this guild is just yet another example of a guild starting up that is just like another guild that already exists. It causes Splinters and divides the community.

Had you actually looked through the guilds and figured out what kind there were to join you would have noticed there is a guild just like the one you are trying to create.

You obviously have enough dedication to start and run a guild so why don't you get all your members to join us? I would put you in charge of the men you have recruited and make you a member of our high council. With the effort you have put into your guild I think you could easily rise through our ranks and become a leader and help me with ranking system and running the clan.

Please think it over as I believe this would be best for both our guilds.

[DRAGON117op 34]

Umm... Sorry ShadowNinji but our leaders have seem to have disspeared.... By leaders i mean Brave and Payne... Umm they are probably away or something because they haven't told me but anyways i will tell them to talk to you as soon as i see them again so yer. Thanks

Sincerely DRAGON117op

[ShadowNinji 34]

Awesome, we have a lot of active members and would love to add people to our ranks.

[Orlanden_ 12]

Awesome, we have a lot of active members and would love to add people to our ranks.

I appreciate the offer. The only way us joining your guild would even be considered is if you offer Bravepaw the same rank as you have me. The best I can do is talk it over with him tonight and see what he thinks. We should be on teamspeak around 10pm EST. As for us being away, our characters went on a walkabout to get back in touch with nature. We discovered many new things on our walkabout, but thats for another time. (We stopped playing for a month or so because of college finals lol)

[Orlanden_ 12]

Even though you guys disbanded, we were going to decline the offer.

[Lawrence Berell 226]

VAs?

[Orlanden_ 12]

VAs?

Not required, if that's what you're asking.

[Taiga 764]

VAs are most definitely required.

Theft, killing for money, killing unprovoked, intimidation, and elimination of undesirables is all applicable to villainy 1 and 2a.

They must have these villain applications accepted, or else ban reports will ensue.

No, if they don't have villain apps, they just do not get the contracts involving killing, theft, and things of that nature until they have an accepted VA.

I would follow them for a few days in silent, learn how they act, what they like and hate, maybe what the use to eat, then attempt to befriend them and join them, then kill everyone of them in their sleep, if however this fails i would use poison in their food, and dispose of the remains.

While he was out cold I would look for the key and search for evidence and traces of blood. If he is guilty, i will draw his blood quicker than the eye, if not, wipe out his memory of me and realese him.
