Seen this one somewhere before.

What shroom dose are we taking?

MC Name: Jaelon

Character's Name: Thorn

Character's Age: 24

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

         Human

Transformed form:

         Eidola

Creator's MC Name:

         Gamma_Byte

Creator's RP Name:

         Iliya

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

The creation of an Eidola requires Three Mystics or a Wight to bind a soul or phantom to a Menhir while near a sustainable water source. The resulting construct emerges from the Menhir after cleansing, with the appearance of a living statue in blue, green, or purple hues. Water constantly drips off the Eidola, sliding down the crevices of their stone exterior. An Eidola’s mind is cleansed as the connections to their past fade, leaving a distanced and cold mind. They suffer limited capacity for positive emotion, which leads to loathing their inability to feel warmth or sensation.  Eidola are as a strong as a descendant in peak physical condition, but move at a slower pace. Their water takes the place of blood within their body and losing half or more would render them dead. They cannot exceed a height of nine feet and must replenish their water every two days over the course of an OOC hour. They are unable to spread knowledge of the Mystic Arts with negative intentions and cannot practice Mysticism aside from cantrip hindering and Cremation. This limitation can be extended slightly if they are augmented. Eidola are unable to practice any form of magic and respawn at the location of their Menhir over the course of one OOC day.

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

A dripping pale green statue, wearing a plumed helmet.

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

Transformed form:

         Automaton

Creator's MC Name:

         Gamma_Byte

Creator's RP Name:

         Laura

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

An Automaton is a sentient creation made using a combination of alchemy and ingenuity. Their bodies are constructed from inorganic materials.  This form consists of a skeletal frame and several tubes and cogs which fill the function of veins within the Automaton. Running through these tubes is an alchemical fluid which substitutes the function of blood within the construct. Should they lose a substantial amount, the automaton will be rendered inert. The most integral of these creations is the “Gear Heart”.  As the name suggests, this heart shaped device pumps the fluid throughout the construct’s “veins” and generate the energy necessary for life. The cogs within this creation are infused with redstone and a conductive gem to aid these processes. 

Next lies the task of granting intelligence and sense perception to the construct. A specific attachment must be crafted and fitted onto either the heart or head of the automaton. The complexity and folds of the device are directly tied to how intelligent the automaton will be. A similar trend can be found in the construction of voice boxes, with more complexity resulting in a greater variety of sound. The eyes, ears, and olfactory attachments can be designed as well, similarly filled with alchemical fluid. 

Afterwards, a frame needs to be constructed to house these internal mechanisms. A variety of materials can suffice as long as it can sufficiently hold the creations and is inorganic in nature. A sufficient size and width are necessary to support a larger frame. The limitations of the frame’s strength or speed can be temporarily overcome through the usage of overclocking. The intricate parts can be thrown into disarray through the process of overclocking,  and depending on the degree of overclocking, the construct might succumb to internal damages and die. Lower degrees of this can result in severe weakness. Lastly, a personality can be implanted by the alchemical reagents which will infuse the creation with an innate personalities.

A CAPTURED OFFICER

The Curonian Officer, in his cell!

A merry band of Ruberni set off from their dwellings to hit the roads, as usual. On their findings they found a man who so proudly boasted of taking his sword to many High Elves - an odd display from a side that are in the process of reaching out to the Silver State.

Regardless, the man was captured and cast in to a cell, so as precedent sets. You may come to Rubern to negotiate a ransom, lest this man be slain like the rest.

(OOC: Prisoner executed, can close.)

ANOTHER ONE.

AIS soldiers running down their inferior rivals!

Another One. Another One. Another One. 

A routine experience for the members of the AIS, another day and the retinue led by commanders such as Augustus, Antonius & Doctor Daniel sallied their forces amongst the lands of Helena, at the footing of King Peters land they stood and for a countless time faced a similar sized force ahead of them. This time comprised entirely of Reivers - due to this, confidence surged through the AIS ranks; we all knew, when was the last time Reivers won a fight, let alone a war.

Though, the fight did not start as quickly as anticipated for the Reiver forces begged upon the sky-gods to assist them, save them either. A desperate plea for help that was brushed aside, and with that? The forces charged, or well, at least one did. The Reivers fled like the cowards they are. Running from afront of Helena all the way towards the High Elven Citadel, mowed down they were.

Despite the warnings of a Reiver return, a warning to stay away from the road - the AIS ignored such a warning; for good reason. The Reivers lay dead at their feet another day. 

Doctor Cedric hastily scratches a few notes. The plague was spreading in the Orenian forces, inflicting delirium. He’d have to collect more samples soon.

It seems like these posts periodically arrive stating that staff will be moving forward with a new way to address problems and that they’ll eliminate the issues that have been happening. Afterward, nothing happens for a while until another public post is made complaining about the lack of change/action. I’d like to think your heart is in the right place but it really isn’t easy to believe this with how things have gone previously and how out of touch it seems you are with the community’s opinion.

Also, a few parts of this message seem either poorly worded or conceived. I can understand the idea of not wanting to get Discord notifications on your phone, but the fact that you close off a line of communication for the people who need help the most is a problematic stance without even delving into the other things you’ve said here. Communicating with a large volume of players is part of the job of an admin and if you’re too busy or don’t want to handle it, you should probably abdicate the position to someone else. A lot of this post is a diversion from addressing the pedophilia problem on the server to talking about action against “toxic” (undefined) behavior. These issues don’t really seem related and it kind of seems like you just want to brigade against some strawman people who I at least haven’t encountered. (i.e. “radical idealogues”) instead of addressing the real problem.

Finally, I would really recommend taking a moment to think about the fruitfulness of creating a separate entity to resolve these “Safety” cases, when problems involving those already on staff have been woefully mishandled.

P.S. Western Values is an extremely arbitrary statement.

That’s a major yikes from me chief.

Ser Antun Kastrovat places the book he was reading down on the tabletop, peering down into the street from the windows of the manor. He’d followed alongside Ser Rodrik and Ser Gregor for quite some time, and while he enjoyed the camaraderie, he sometimes questioned the actions his duties demanded he takes.  He let out a sigh and returned to his seat, flipping back to the page he’d left off on. “A damn shame,” he uttered, shaking his head slightly.

MC Name: MyFreakyLive

Character's Name: Jiang

Character's Age: 34

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

         N/A

Transformed form:

         Hou-Zi (Hei-Zhu)

Creator's MC Name:

         N/A

Creator's RP Name:

         N/A

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Creation: The Hou-Zi were previously primates that were uplifted by Metzli for their clever nature and resemblance to the descendant races.  Metzli approached the alpha of a pack of primates. This pack leader would later become  Hou-Shen, the Monkey King.  Metzli transformed Hou-Shen through the use of magic, altering every aspect of him. Afterwards she crowned Hou-Shen and ordered him to become the prophet of his people.  He gifted sentience to all of the primates in the jungle of Asul, creating the Hou-Zi.

Culture: The  Hou-Zi were a culture that revered wealth above all else. They were obsessed with materialism and lead hedonistic lifestyles, treasuring jade as the rarest sign of wealth. Modern Hou Zi live a life of seclusion and simple means. Some Hou-Zi worship Hou-Shen as a living god. Modern Hou-Zi despise Metzli, even going so far as to change their title from the Awakener to the Doombringer.````````````

History: The Hou-Zi rapidly developed, developing weaponry and constructing buildings in a matter of four years. When the 50^th year arrived, the capital of the Hou Zi people, Jing-Taiyun had been constructed. The Hou-Zi flourished and formed an intricate society, with Hou-Shen ruling from his throne. Beneath him, the Hou-Zi territories were governed by twelve Hou-Zi lords known as the Ruling  Council of Chi. The Hou-Zi lived in prosperity for a time before their leader Hou-Shen was inspired to expand and claim new riches by Metzli. The Hou-Zi’s primary opposition in these conflicts were the elves. The Hou-Zi went to war with the kingdom of Malinor for a time. Eventually the  fall of the Hou-Zi people came at the disappearance of their leader Hou-Shen and the machinations of an old deity known as the Poison, who destroyed Jian-Tianyun

Subrace: The Hei-Zi are amongst the most physically capable of all the Hou-Zi. They stand at around 6 – 7 ft and have a lifespan of up to 300 years. The Hei-Zi resemble gorillas with mostly black fur and strong, solid and muscular frames capable of lifting hundreds of pounds.
