    A Witch Departs

    in Axios Roleplay Archive

    Posted

     

     

     

    The armored figure climbs slowly over the frozen hills, gripping a knapsack tightly over its shoulder. It ascends the worn stone stairs of the ruined cathedral in silence, approaching an old wall caked in frost. It extends an armored hand, brushing a rock aside and inserting a small ornate key into a hidden slot. The wall slides open, and the figure slips inside. Its hands lift, unclipping its helmet and shaking its hair out.

     

    Lumia paces through the old halls, footsteps echoing quietly. She descends, before stopping in front of a frozen metal door and pushing it open. She scans the room, bags and packed things resting on the table. The Witch sets her bag down on the table, before moving into the side room, changing into simple travelling clothes. Her form shimmers with a sigh, pale icy white skin appearing tanned and human. Her eyes lose their glow, appearance remaining otherwise the same. She shoulders her pack, reaching underneath the bed and removing a box, sliding it inside before entering the main room, glancing to the other figure present in the room with a smile, “Ready to go?”

     

    ~~

     

    In the quiet afternoon, the pair approach a camp in the woods, arcane odds and ends strewn about on the table. Lumia sets her shouldered bags down on the table, head turning with a sad smile. She practically sprints to Avenel, embracing him with a tight hug. They exchange words, goodbyes, before Avenel extends an ornately engraved cube to Janos. Lumia steps back over to pick up her things, offering Avenel a smile and a wave as she takes Janos’ hand. The cube hums with arcane energy, engravings glowing bright, before the pair vanish with a crackling hiss, never to be seen again.

     

    And just like that, Lumia, woman of a hundred names and faces, WolfMother, last of Brunhylde’s brood, and once Lord of unsightly things, was gone.

     

    In places elsewhere, few might find letters left in places for them.

    @Thomas

    In the Library of Dragur, a small note would be left on the table in the center kiosk, next to a sealed letter, the note would read, “My time spent here was pleasant, thank you. Please see that this letter gets to Crumena. ~Elisande” The sealed letter would read: “Crumena, I wish I could have gotten to know you better, but I am unfortunately leaving. I’m sure Avenel could tell you just about anything you’d want to know. Good luck, and stay sane, ~Lumia”

    @ArcanicFable

    In a cold and quiet castle, a note would be left on the large throne.

     

    “Akhortep, when many other Lords were cruel to me, or attempted to manipulate me, you were harsh but fair and kind. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, but I must sadly be going.

    Please be merciful to my daughters, and take care of Mabel.”

    @allthe fwitches I love yall take care

    And finally, in the frozen home of the Witches, a simple note would be left next to the Altar.

     

    “I love you all dearly. Stay safe, please. ~Lumia”

    ((Lumia was my character for a super long time and I wanted to get some closure on what happened to her. I’m too much of a softie to just PK and it would’ve felt sad and out of the blue. I think she deserved a happy ending, in spite of it. I hope everyone enjoyed interacting with her at least half as much as I enjoyed playing her. Cheers.))

    Exits, In Her Own Time

    in Axios OOC Archive

    Posted

     

     

     

    Five years ago I joined this server at the age of 15. I joined to impress a boy in my class that I liked, who told me it was like an online DnD campaign. I was already very familiar with minecraft, having spent most of my time gaming in a minecraft building and streaming community. I was rather quickly enamored with the fun and whimsy of it. In the later portion of that year, when I became very sick and  LOTC became a large part of my life. I spent time, made friends, and became  far too involved. For the next 5 years, I played on and off, taking at most a year or so break from the server entirely.

     

    I’m saying this now because I am now twenty years old, starting my second year of college in a month and it’s time for me to go.

     

    I’ve thought about this post and this server a lot, for the longest time I felt a pit in my stomach full of words and thoughts about this server and the people on it and my time here that  I never could vocalize. I think I have finally unwound it, and this is what I have to say.

     

    In my time on this server, I’ve met all kinds. I’ve met wonderful friends and partners who I hope to know and cherish for the rest of my life. I’ve met odd people, strange and backwards in their actions and words. I’ve met kind people, who I wish I had gotten to known better or been better too. I’ve met awful people, worst of all, who harass and attack and HURT people over some concept as intangible as roleplay.

     

    I’ve grown a lot as a person, partly due to the people I’ve met and experiences I’ve had here. I think I’ve always put on a persona of bitterness and tiredness, but really, if anything lotc has turned my optimism into just cynicism. I hoped for so much out of the people here, time and time again, and I was disappointed every time. It got to the point I’d hope for the best but expect the worst, and work around it.

     

    Somehow, in the end, I don’t hold any hate or ill will towards this server or the people on it. In fact, I think I’ll always have very fond memories of my time here, and truth be told, I wouldn’t change a thing. I don’t really have any regrets, except maybe Space Carnival. I am beyond happy with where I am in my life, the people I consider close to me, the person I love, and with myself. And I just don’t think LOTC has anything to offer me anymore. And that’s ok.

     

    If I have one final request, it’s be good to each other. Respect each other and each other’s experiences. You’re here to have fun with each other, so have it. Learn to forgive and to grow, try new things and meet new people, you might be happy with what happens. Goodbye.

    Your View: Alchemy (Again)

    in News & Announcements Archive

    Posted

    Hullo, so for my LT project I'm planning on taking a good hard look at Alchemy with a microscope here soon and potentially making ajdustments based on feedback and discussion.

     

    Firstly, however, I want to hear what everyone has to think and get a gauge on people interested in participating in the discussion. Please fill out the following questions, and be sure to take note of the separation between nexus alchemy and RP alchemy in the questions.

     

    Spoiler

    What are your thoughts on RP Alchemy? What do you think could be improved/changed? Perceived benefits and disadvantages?

     

    What are your thoughts on Nexus Alchemy? What do you think could be improved/changed based on interactions with RP alchemy? Perceived benefits and disadvantages?

     

    Do you feel that the same should be exactly the same outside of how the potions are made (RP vs Nexus) and utilized (RP vs PvP)? Or do you think there should be differences? 

     

    Do you think mechanical representation should be required for all potions and poisons? Or just certain high impact ones like alchemist's fire?

     

     

     

     

    If you are interested in participating in the official discussion, which will be on skype or discord (depending on what's easier for some people. If you would like to participate, please fill out the following form.

     

    Spoiler

    Contact Information (Discord or Skype) ((If you want this hidden, say so and I'll forum PM you if you are selected)

     

    Experience with Alchemy as a whole:

     

    Experience with Nexus Alchemy (Screenshot of XP):

     

    Experience with RP Alchemy (Brief overview, MA's, Lore Submissions, etc)

     

    What do you think you could bring to the discussion?

     

    Do you acknowledge that consistent de-railing of the discussion will result in your removal?

     

     

    disclaimer: this is a really big undertaking and due to a busier dev schedule with other things there's no guarantee nexus will be changed heavily in the near future. and while the final dream is to have the two equalized, it may not be feasible, but I will do my best. thanks.

    the "Both" section needs to be heavily rectified or removed entirely

    -Tah magic would not protect you from draconic fire, Xan magic is the dragon counter

    -how would the sword tell one is of a specific bloodline

    -does it allow one to parry a spell if they have the reflexes for it, does it improve reflexes, or does it create a dome/shield of sorts

     

    please clarify the nature of "Taint" that the holy version of the sword cleanses. there is a difference between necromancer taint and the taint that clerical magic targets, such as the example of flames of reckoning you used.

    additional emotes need to be added for activation
