Again, my work.

Personally, I'd say dissolve the Oren Guard and put them under the command of the Knights of Oren. But I am not in any position to make that kind of decision, my loyalties lie with Aeriel alone.

Sounds like you got played Gaius.

You didn't think I'd let you read my work, did you?

Will do.

If needed for another task I will comply and accomplish that task. My purpose is only to serve and nothing more, do as you would with me. Goals in the FOA?: Merely to have a purpose in life, and nothing more. Good deeds you have done?: Fed a starving man just recently, and attacked the undead at Kal'urugan. Have you done any bad deeds?: Killed or injured peasant, noble, guard, captain, royalty alike. A lot of very bad things that he would rather not go into. There is a certain level of numb attributed to the dark past that still plagues his mind. He ignores it and uses his skills in order to contribute to the cause that he would put himself to use toward. How did you hear of us?: Scribe Renzbro came to me in the royal farming area and spoke with me, then offered to give me a purpose. Other then that I have no real purpose other then doing what I am told. Are you against the Undead? Please explain why.: Against the undead because my character does not wish to die anytime soon. Killing them gives him a purpose in life other then doing nothing in his spare time. What is your primary weapon in battle? (Sword, Axe, or Bow. Please state which one and your skill level please.

Do you have faith in the Aeriel and will you tell of this to others? Please explain why.: He knows of Aeriel but is not very forthcoming about telling others of Aeriels grace. Just that he knows it to be true and will not dispute the existence of it. Explain how you will help to serve the FOA, and through us, the Ascended and Aeriel: I will serve the FOA by doing what is necessary to ensure that the enemies of Aeriel perish. As well as killing who must be killed in order to ensure the survival of those who are with me. My skills are only based in combat, I will warn others that I am far from a good man if asked, but I will not speak of my actions. I will only commit myself to what must be done, by those who command me. I have no real purpose other then to silence enemies, I do am by no means a charismatic man, just a killer, someone who must will kill the enemies without second thought.

I like this, this is awesome. Can I have your bowl? I need to catch a pigman..

So very tired of seeing so many hero guilds.

t This is a message to all the villains of Aegis, to unite against the common heroes of the world. We are severely outnumbered and need more numbers to fulfill our dark desires. The heroes of aegis enjoy too much lee-way and as such they need to support one another in each others ordeals. Despite this we know that all people have their own goals and needs to be met in Aegis. So why not strengthen one another in grand diabolical schemes. This alliance is open to any and all kinds of plots, big, small, grand, or minor. We need not give the heroes of Aegis any time to rest of mourn we must always be vigilant, always scheming to destroy the world. Or to promote our insidious plans. Whoever decides that this plan is worth it we owe loyalty to each others villainous ways. And remember, villainin' ain't easy.

-Reserved-

People all around us, so many stupid people. They sell themselves to whoever promisses them prosperity and gold. Such corruptible little minds, who know nothing of real survival. All clinged together like harlots in an orgy. They ignore the common man and make him fend for himself. Even as such when you have nothing good to say to them. They lock you up in a magical prison all because of their apparent 'gift'. We need to teach these fools who is boss, rise together my tempered man we will burn the cities, hang the stupid. Then bleed the mighty dry, there is no threat from the Undead as the all mighty Ascended would have you believe. A pack of lies they want you to stomach, all so they can get your gold, food, and livelihood. Remember, those who wield magic have no skill. Without their supposed power they would be as weak as children, children who have no right to survive. They feed you the lie that Iblees will one day climbs through the void! Well I will tell you, if Iblees is forgotten he does not exist in the minds of the people! It is time to make the haves beg for mercy from the have nots, make them cry for their lives. Make the fools sitting in laps of luxury bleed all over their sentimental banners. Make those kings who would die to keep their throne, beg for rat droppings. We can all become the race that ends the weaks reign of power and sovereignty. You are worthy of having your offspring live in a world where magic is not but a myth. The future is ours tell your lovers, tell your children, and make the weak pay for holding onto their treasured power. Seek me out, Nefas Malitia sworn enemy of Al'khazar and all that is weak.

I dunno, it's just a discussion about the game.

This is a thread for the most wanted villains, if you did something so bad in character that you become the most wanted. Post here and tell us why you're wanted and for how much. Nefas Malitia Reason: Attempted murder of Princess Aliciana of Al'kahazar Reward: Not set yet. People who want him dead, or worse: The Oren Guard.

Anyway, if I could get an Admin, or GM to look this concept over to give me input. I would greatly appreciate it ahead of time.

Noted. You maybe right, and if the Undead are slated for removal. And this idea just sits here, I will probably write a new concept for villains. Then pit them against the rest of Aegis, however this as my first experimental idea I will leave it here for approval/disapproval. This does have some similarities to the traditional Undead but notice the highlighted differences that I've given. They're like the others but with added incentive for good storytelling, which is what I feel the story needs.

True, the concept itself does seem reminiscent of the traditional server Undead we have now. However I would first like to deepen the difference between the traditional Undead. Which we will define as dead fleshy beings, a Lich is nothing but bone. With raw, un-imaginable magical power, whose soul purpose is to gain more power. Normal Undead can be killed by destroying their bodies, or leaving no trace of their bodies left. Where as a Lich has purposefully sealed their souls away from their bodies through the use of an Ender Pearl. Or what is commonly called a Phylacteries. Without the soul container being destroyed after the body of the Lich they can easily come back to inhabit another body. Similar yes, but they're quite resourceful in this way. Heroes who do not know how they work will find themselves fighting a losing battle if they're unprepared. The Lich wouldn't bear the same burden of worshiping Iblees. Instead they would feel their own goals to be of paramount importance compared to that of the garden variety Undead.

You present a valid point, and I do appreciate the feedback. Giving some thought to your suggestions the Lich would differ from the traditional Undead in a few ways. They might see normal Undead as inferior rotting flesh bags. Whose soul purpose is to harass the living, and only that. The Lich wouldn't relegated to just their caves. True they would need to seek knowledge that their servants couldn't be trusted to handle on their own. Therein lies the potential for discovery. I use the Ender Pearl concept, to draw a line to a soul container. But to be sure that each Ender Pearl is correctly matched to the specific Lich. We would need to name each Ender Pearl. So as far to note a distinct between each Lich. They would have their own pursuits, goals, and endeavors to accomplish. So depending on how that would play out there is always a chance that an internal conflict can arise. Since each ?Lich would hold a token of pride in their works. Sure some of the others could despise them for their works, then brag about their task. Though with as few Undead that there are there would need to be a way to keep them united. For instance some in there group could have grand ambition of taking Iblees power. That in itself would institute a major shift in the unity that the Lich would have. Some maybe for this individuals own scheme, while others feel that individual should be destroyed for such a grand scheme. There can of course be many variables, since potential union exists individual loyalty comes into question with any given concept. The Lich themselves are practitioners of the magical arts. [Even arts not able to be applied to the servers mechanics.] We can potentially see them searching for information that is made available through the story. By allowing each Lich a specific goal towards their practice, new stories, adversaries, alliances are realized. The big picture is, say for instance one of the Liches goal for draining Iblees power became known to say The Black Hand. It would obviously call for a call to arms against that specific Lich, since of course that endeavor is asinine to even allow. They would call for the head of this Lich, since they felt their would-be-gods honor soiled. Therein lies the conflict. If however their were Liches loyal to the cause of this specific Lich. You would find the schism develop. In any case you might see once mortal enemies join forces to combat this insidious plot.

I would prefer them to be True Undead, skeleton looking bastards with their magic and soul anchoring them to this plane. In light of this they would be presented as being really dead, but yet living. There are ways we can fix this so that if the group was ever discovered by a group of valiant warriors/knights. Then it was to be an all out conflict, that group of warriors would have to have Ender Pearls in their inventory, that would require the heroes to search all of Aegis for the Ender Pearls we can hide them in random location. The Ender Pearl would function as an item that would serve to neutralize the hold on the plane. That the Lich would have to enforce his will, this way no players can just randomly pop up and say "u r undead die!" It would make players have to have a reason to search for these pearls, because this group wouldn't operate in the open easily. The Harvesters and Reapers, Messengers, Black Guard would be exempt from the Ender Pearl equation. Therefore the seven Lich would only have one fall-back they depend on their servants. Though more can be created for their own ambitions. So technically a trusted GM or Admin would have to place Ender Pearls in remote locations around Aegis. Hide them and then leave for the sake of letting people try and find them. Of course those people would need a valid reason for needing those Ender Pearls in the first place.

-_- That isn't the point of this, the point is to give the dedicated villains something new. Something exciting then just going around and robbing people. If you read the post you might realize that my aim is not to just go around robbing people. I have an intention to add to the flavor of the story-telling that is occurring. Because quite frankly it's lax, you're either told go here destroy fake Iblees worshipers. Or Go here and sack the Undead fortress. Rest assured if I wrote a villain app, I'd make damn sure everyone. Including the Undead feared to even look at my character.
