honestly reminds me of a similar rp post by one purple olog

Malg: makes a good point

Everyone who has history with malg: "ree"

Everyone else:

Thoughts without giving any constructive criticism is just wasted time. what kills the server most is constant nostalgia from older members. “This isn’t how so and so ran things” “This time way back then was the best moments in the server” yet to the uninitiated who never got to experience any of this. Everything looks to be much of the same, at least to me. All that’s changed is who’s doing it and with what are they doing it. Oren is still around in practice, druids still erp, halflings still do as they do, and new players still bumble about.

do you live on a farm?

To clear something up. I'm not asking for there to be Less shelving or any leniency given to rewrites. What I'm asking for is events that explain why magics and creatures are removed irply. As of right now things just get removed with no explanation as to why.

Any creature that was soft shelved (besides Homunculi) will be hard shelved when we transition to the new map. We made this decision after coming to the conclusion that soft shelving wasn’t accomplishing what it should have done. If people want to continue to roleplay their shelved creatures, they need to put effort into their submissions rather than continuing to submit the slightly different variations of the same thing.

for an rp server people really don’t know how to read

If I’m missing some other post explaining why shelved races are being removed I’d appreciate it if you linked it.

      I’m not one to normally write about things, as typically I’m fine with what goes on. And this post is mostly structured as a rant, with topics being covered at random with little segue. But this I feel is one thing that I and quite possibly many others can agree on. Whenever the LT shelve and/or remove something from the server they should work with ET to create an event that logically removes the element from the world. Instead we are met with jarring ‘skygod buffoonery’ and have to work around it. “why isn’t so and so x” or “why can’t so and so do y anymore?” these are questions not mentioned most of the time in RP due to ooc knowledge that whatever was removed.

      Take CA characters that have recently been shelved. Instead of some event going on, the players are in charge of explaining why they’re no longer a given creature. I understand it’s already too late to run events for things already removed, but for the future I highly encourage that in order for closure there be events for irply explaining the removal of aspects from the server. Whenever things are removed in a few words on a post on a forum it really looks like the staff couldn’t care less about the player base.

      I hope the LT and others will take this into consideration moving forward, as it makes history within the server flow much smoother.

MC Name: Twinfeather

Character's Name: Van'ira

Character's Age: 63

Character's Original Race (N/A if not applicable):

         Kha'Pantera

Transformed form:

         Kha'Pantera

Creator's MC Name:

         N/A

Creator's RP Name:

         N/A

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

       Kha were created by Metztli a long time ago in their home island. Here they lived in relative peace with one another and continued to worship Metztli. However they began to move away from her worship and she punished them harshly with the creation of several hazards. or so the legends go.

       Kha are a very spiritual race laced with ancient traditions and a proud warrior/hunter culture. Kha are much akin to their cat counterparts in physical appearance and capability. keen sense of smell, hearing, and sight all combine together to create a package of heightened senses to that of the average descendant. Kharajyr also have trouble speaking common, with feline features it’s easy to imagine why. Kha’pantera are specifically known for their intelligence and quick wit. But even more so for their jet black fur and features.

Redlines:
--Kha are quick, but only just. They cannot hit speeds equal to creatures in the wild

–Kha cannot be stronger than an orc

Valkriin, the elf. The supposed 'aheral, sifted through the debris of the home. He had followed the blood trail near the caves in Sutica. It had been purely out of curiosity. "What a mystery," He thought with mild joy and he strode along the path. He was then brought to a home, one belonging to the abode.. Of Hareven, and Quillian. Quillian. He eyed the name. Memories, of wood elves and what they represented to the void born man. He shook off such mortal emotions. And opened the door. 

--meta free line of a time lapse, filled with gore, destruction, and corpses--

Valkriin sifted through the remains, the debris. The things that someone. No. Something wanted to hide. He made note of irregularities and most of all. Let it all soak in. The blood, the bodies. The smell. He felt nothing through it all, until he saw the destroyed corpse of a mother, stabbed and desecrated in front of a crib. Whatever had done this needed to die. It needed to be put to death. Something awoke in Valkriin in that house, among the death and gore. The past didn't matter, whatever he had thought of Quillian didn't matter. This was a monster that needed to be put in it's place. And with that, he dusted himself off. And went to clean the smell that followed him out of that fetid cave.

Ghost

Creator's MC Name:

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Ghosts are the soul of a descendant who did not pass on for any given reason, and at the beginning are more of a puppet or actor merely acting out an unwritten script. they do not interact with much at this stage, if at all. they simply go about their daily lives as if nothing had happened in the first place. 

the first stage, as briefly gone over above, is when the destitute soul is called a haunt. they will continue about their daily lives day in and day out, until the living interfere with their make believe realm. 

after this they enter the second stage of their existence, where they reap the harvest of emotions that come with being torn from the living. this sets them on a new path, one with two choices at the end.

should a haunt continue to wallow in anger and bitterness, their being becomes corrupted as they walk the land of the living. these are called poltergeists. they often lash out at random to those who enter their chosen place of haunting. what they haunt can be a person, but is most often a place. 

the second ghost type is a revenant, the opposite of a poltergeists. these are the beings who came to term with their new existence in the mortal coil. they often interact peacefully with those around them in a playful or mischievous way.  however, unlike the hate filled ventures of a poltergeist, a revenant can and often will eventually move on to the afterlife.

Zbyszek drug himself through the jungle, having already nearly died to frostbite and other creatures of the wall he had come to far to turn back now. he grunted, pulling himself through the jungle terrain. "storming.. where are you.." the sounds of frogs came from all around, making the entrance hard to pinpoint. after a particularly steep hill he pulled himself to the top, panting. he looked up.. and into a cavern entrance. he chuckled, pulling himself up. "there you are." he then limped further and down into the open maw of the cave...

Zbyszek plucked a flyer from a wall, and began to skim through it. he nodded at a few spots, but for the most part his face remained darkened. after a moment he crumpled it and tossed it beneath his boot. "and what do these undead, dark magic practitioners want for us? sure ain't long lives and happiness. two faces, same coin" he then tramped on towards the tavern

Ashkii, the glorious grey kha begins to roll around on the ground in laughter. He rose his head to look at the poster, before losing himself once again.

Ashkii remains face down in the ground, waiting for it all to end

Ashkii leaned forward in front of his fire, a stick held firmly in his left hand. he'd take out a small buckskin knife and begin to whittle.

"waht dark times these ahre, when tha nations ahre warrin' there ees nu need awf any conflict such aws this un. trully ah shame when reason ees thrown out tha window fur petty squabbles. war ees nevah tha answer, but these men an their black hearts. nu, they cannawt be persuaded tu accept peace."

the massive kha would toil over the carvings, the result something truly beautiful to behold.

"eet is nu mattah. let them destroy each uthah."

He then tossed the stick and carvings all into the fire, sending sparks into the night sky.

Transformed form: Voidal Horror

Creator's MC Name: Zarsies

Creator's RP Name: Shub-Umbilius

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

A horror is sent out into the world by the Arch-Queen Shub-Umbilius'. each and every voidal horror is different from one another, as they are molded within the chaotic storms of the void itself. the toll they pay for being placed into the mortal realm is forever servitude to the unquenchable hunger for vast quantities of knowledge. Voidal horrors are spawned into the world and forced to create a physical body in order to interact with such a place, as the void is far more alien then the natural. the bodies that they take are twisted and grotesque, eliciting disgust in the descendants around them. of all voidal horrors they are almost always put to work by arch voidal horrors, due to the immense power these beings have over the mind planes in which the voidal horror's consciousness resides. if one wished it so, an arch horror could consume greater and lesser horrors at any point in time.

Do'Ashkii finds himself gazing upon the piece of paper, his eyes squinting to read the words.

"one can ownly wondah why tha 'mighty' ascended mageek men don' jus' take ca'ah awf thees king themselves, after awl, ees taht naht they'ah jobs?" 

The mighty kharajyr would then turn the missive over and gaze upon the hammer. he'd remark only with a grunt and a shrug, before padding away.
