Yami Aku

It's fine. We've missed you too, Mata-man.

What've you all been up to in my brief absence? owo

Not much to be honest.

MATA WE NEEDED YOOOOOOOOOU!

Kinda do actually.

I'll do another post when I get one from Noxi or Mata.

Is it too late to hop in here? I'm really interested and can have a sheet within a couple days (I'd say 2 at most)

Uh, yeah, go ahead. My work is starting to lighten up too, so I may be able to get a post in tomorrow as well.

Cool I'll get on that then

..OH MY GOD. It's alliiivveee!

I found it and it's alliivveeee!

...Is it too late to join? Errr...re-join? I'm not...sure, anymore. .__.

I think not! I dunno how busy Patches is right now though. >u<

Trust me, I'm trying to build up the will to manage another post. I've just been really busy - I think I have the day off on Sunday, so I'll have all day. Knowing my luck though, you may not want to get your hopes up.

Alrighty then.

Back in business.

Oh hey this is a thing now.

Jazz Pmd me a sheet, revisions are going to be made, I can resume whenever people are ready.

I'm still entirely as ready as I was ready previously.

I'm as ready as ready ready mcreadyfications.

Will work on something later after my schooling.

Mind if I take minor control of your character Ji? Just enough for him to take a deep breath and blow.

Intimidated: With hope that this suffices. And a very weak grasp on the setting's geography.

Name: Janik Gemspark
Sex: female
Age: 46
Profession: jeweler
Appearance:
Dwarfish and rotund, but handsomely garbed and gilded in fine cloth and gleaming bronze-gold metal. Weathered hands, fingers banded with rings. Facial features are round and somewhat aged.

in adventuring garb?, under break:

Personality:
A master artisan, commissioned by royals who desire works involving gems, metal, or coinage. Often presents her wares as possessing magical properties of protection or insight, usually commensurate with how striking the piece appears.

Reputedly, her descriptions are accurate, but this does not soothe patrons' nerves as she runs late with yet another order. The piece in question may be under fresh revision with every hour, or it may be sitting disused on a table as she awaits some new shipment of exotic materials.

Magic comes to her with difficulty, hence the many reversible procedures which comprise her workflow. If Janik's niche is encroached upon, she may feel threatened for good reason.

History:
A one-time adventurer who left the business upon acquiring magic sufficient to carve out her specialty. More a thinker than a warrior, in any case. Has found time to read up on plenty of lore and 'natural science' in her downtime, the better to make herself useful should something... bad happen.

The jewler may have dabbled in dangerous pursuits, when she was young and foolish and acquainted with fey creatures. Most are still alive, but at bay. She's gotten away with everything thus far, and is optimistic that this will continue.

There's always sense in hedging one's bets, though.

---
Name: Whatever makes sense - 'our scout', 'that crow', and so on. Given names are for humans. If you insist, I suggest Bladebiter.
Sex: female
Age: 19ish, ~17.3 with age adjustment. Possibly precocious and/or in over her head.
Race: Tengu
Appearance: Shiny black jungle crow, somewhat larger than a well-fed pigeon. Feathers occasionally drip oil.
Alt. Appearance: Arboreal near-human of no more than five feet. Features include birdlike extremities, greyscale pigmentation, and fangs good for threat displays. Suited to the outdoors, not to settlements.

Personality / History:
Bold scavenger, with wide foraging range and a constrained set of craftskills. Lacks allies, and can be easily forced into retreat. Lacks kin, and spends a lot of time busily providing for herself. Where'd they go? Probably flew off without her.

Fond of maps, notes, symbols, and cryptography. Good at hiding and escaping. Poor at verbal communication, caws too much. Will steal books, given the opportunity. Really curious what's in them.

Carries writing materials in a pocket dimension primarily used to store spare guises for shapeshifting, as per her subspecies' magical specialization (which replaces the usual Tengu wind magic). Hasn't figured out how to make a twisted portal go in reverse. What if instead of sending people through without their world, it sent worlds through without their people? Probably for the best, then.

Has a supply of blank scrolls as part of her scouting mission. Some get marked with actual geography, some with wildlife observations. Some writings may be fictional; see musings, above. Not many, as personal time is hard to come by. Nobody to help out. Maybe if someone were willing to take the first sidekick to drop from the trees?

Writing Sample:

That works! So when I'm writing one of those introductory posts for you, what do you want the heading as? Bladebiter?

Yeah, that suffices.
