Character's Name:
Faust
Age:
63
Gender:
Female
Species:
Fairy/Kelahati, Elemental Grandparent
Abilities:
Strong lightning magic(from Elemental and Fairy), but has difficulty controlling it (Kelhati)
Dabbles in many other fields of magic.
Has a fairly durable exoskeleton and can produce and shoot the same chemical compound out of a small hole where an Adams apple would be on a male.
Can Fly with wings.
Can't shape shift like fairies or Kelahati or Elemental.
Appearance:
Faust has a relatively human over all shape, with some areas being covered by an deep red exoskeleton while others are bright, neon yellow, skin. These are seemingly randomly placed. She still poses an endoskeleton as well as four small insect legs that protrude from her sides, below her arms. She possesses short, patchy hair, as if her body couldn't decide whether or not it should have any at all. Here wings, a deep royal burple, shimmer like butterfly wings in defiance of her beetle genetics.
Upon her face is a pair of mismatched eyes. One black compound eye sharply contrasting with one that has lightning crackling withing. On one side of her mouth is a single mandible.
Standing four foot seven, she appears mismatched and out of place most every where. Possessing no visible reproductive organs, she in fact has an ovipostor that extends from where you would expect...
Personality:
Shy and suspicious unless discussing scientific discoveries.
Devotes herself to science.
Has an utter disregard for the morality of her experiments, although she becomes attached to her own creations.
History:
Born to her mother, the Kelahati, Faust never knew her father no know about her ancestry on that side of the family. As she grew up with her mother, she began to wonder how she came to be like this, how she was able to shoot boiling hot chemicals. The answers of "the gods will" or other 'superstitious' explanations never satisfied her and those of "Magic" only made her strive to gain a greater understanding of it all. As she grew, this only served to irritate her more, and eventually her mother decide it was best if she went and tried to find her own explanation to her questions. Knowing that other races might prosecute her, she gave Faust a concealing cloak, a few words of wisdom, a few days food, and a rumor of someone who was like minded before sending her on her way.

<div id="box" style="font-family: Didact Gothic;">Name: Ève
Gender: Woman
Sexuality: Bisexual
Species: Human
Age: 18
Appearance/Physiology:

Height
4'8"
Weight
110 Lbs.
Measurements
28H-24.89-44.44

Ève’s frame can be aptly characterized as “thick”. The feminine contours of her form are extremely plump, making it easy for her to “fill out” even the baggiest of pants or shirts. Her hair is just as full and distinctive as her figure. She has gradient, two-toned hair, which appears bright cyan at the roots and forms a color gradient from cyan to green where her voluminous curls start and finishes close to the ends of her hair, which are bright green.

Ève has gold irises, which makes her big, doe-like eyes even more distinctive against her dark tan skin tone. She has full, luscious lips which are normally coated with ombre magenta lip color. Finally, she has an ovular facial silhouette, which makes her features feminine and well balanced.

Personality:

Although she is initially quiet and reserved, in truth, Ève craves social interaction and friendship. However, she is not averse to conflict or gossip, and is can be quite prone to it by her emphatic nature. She is also very proud of her body, which she shows and utilizes off frequently through revealing clothing, dancing, and sexual activities. Ève is also adventurous by nature, both intellectually and physically. She enjoys witnessing and partaking in novel endeavors, even those that repulse or make her uncomfortable, initially.

However, Ève is not without fault. She has an aggressive temper, which often serves as a catalyst for the conflicts she gets into in the first place. She also takes comfort in groups, making her especially vulnerable to cult-like thinking and echo chambers, which may make her easily malleable to charismatic individuals. Finally, she is more prone to impulsive action than she would like to admit...

Abilities:

Athletics
Although she has a soft and voluptuous form, Ève has superb core strength, balance, flexibility, and upper body strength on account of her years of experience with dance.
Dance
Ève has danced for her entire life. Along with her magical studies, she practices dancing everyday and is extremely skilled at it for someone her age.
Magic
Ève is an Air Elementalist, and as such, she specializes in and is extremely proficient at air magic. However, she is also mildly skilled in utilizing fire magic. She often utilizes air magic to control the flight of her chakram, which she also utilizes as a weapon by itself.

History:

Ève was born to a wealthy warrior merchant family, as the heiress to her parent’s vast mercenary company. However, as an infant, the mercenary company was destroyed and much of her family’s fortune was lost. Her parents were declared to be missing after the event, and she was registered with an orphanage. As a young girl, Ève developed a passion and skill for dancing, which she developed privately. At the age of ten, she was enrolled in a mage’s college, where she discovered a latent affinity for air magic.

At the college, Ève developed a non-standard method of casting spells and channeling her vikta via dancing. Although her professors discouraged the practice at first, “dance-casting” only seemed to enhance her efficiency and skill. She has never successfully casted a spell without utilizing some form of rhythmic body motion in order to channel her vikta.

Ève left the college at the age of eighteen, although she still maintains her studies, in order to improve her power as an air mage.</div>

<b>Players involved:</b> Kila, Hera
<b>Characters involved:</b> Charlie, Kurai
<b>Setting:</b> Conquest Fortress, War Fortress, and the lands between
<b>Time:</b> Current - early morning, shortly after sunrise
<b>Weather:</b> A bit rainy

Over the past six weeks, Charlie had come to the Conquest Fortress on a few occasions. Or rather, whenever her training would allow her. She was constantly exhausted, and the bags under her eyes grew darker and darker with each visit. With the death of another oracle, she'd been given a chance to slip away. Things would be too busy at home, and it provided her with a well needed reprieve from her near constant training. She was a normal woman here--at least, normal enough.

She lifted her hood to reveal her face at the fortress' doors, and was allowed entry. The servants here no longer questioned her presence. They knew she had a place in their master's bed, and none would dare question him. One of the servants took her damp cloak as she ascended the stairs to Kurai's room. Today, she decided, was going to be a good day. She was going to see Kurai, she was going to get some rest, and it would be good.

Servants side-stepped out of her way as she walked through the halls, grateful for the warmth of the fortress as it seeped its way into her bones. Today would be a good day.

Without knocking, she opened the dor to Kurai's chambers and walked inside.

"You won't believe what's happening," she said with a sigh. "But at least it let me get away for a while."

<b>Players involved:</b> Kila, Sparx
<b>Characters involved:</b> Cyrus (Sparx), Kazu (Kila), Oliver (Sparx)
<b>Setting:</b> Eden
<b>Time:</b> Mid-morning, the 25th of Haliea
<b>Weather:</b> Sunny and clear, the day is starting to warm up, and there's a pleasant breeze

Kazu rushed through the halls of his manor, his pace never breaking into a jog. Commoners jogged, and he was not a commoner. He had thrown his study doors open, and a flurry of scrolls and books followed behind him, held aloft by the man's magic. Some fell to the floor with a clatter, but he gave them no thought; Cyrus would pick them up. He'd kept the man at his side since their meeting nearly six weeks ago. This was no time to think of his new, albeit rather unwilling, friend. He had been up since the crack of dawn, pouring over his notes, when the paper arrived.

And the news had him feeling sick.

Aerithe, Oracle of Zarkos, had died that morning in Prerio in front of an entire crowd of witnesses. It was believed she had suffocated, likely killed by her own god. It had only been three weeks since the wolf queen's death. Six since the human oracle's death. What did it all mean?

He had barely processed his decent down the stairs, and he was suddenly at the kitchen doors with barely enough time to throw them open with a wave of magic. Gods, he was tired.

"Oliver!" he said loudly--polite men didn't yell at their butlers, and Oliver could always hear Kazu throughout the house--as he made his way to the small table in the kitchen nook. There was no need for them to use the dining room; it was just the three of them, after all. "I need two cups of coffee, please, brewed strong, with cream and sugar. And a bottle of brandy, please," he paused and snapped his fingers, looking off into space as if he'd been struck by a grand idea, "Scratch that, make it a lot of coffee. I'll also need all the bacon and eggs we have. Oh, or brain food, perhaps? No. All the food. No, make what you think will be best." Kazu waffled between food options as he sat down, piling his scrolls and books on the table in front of him.

The bags under his eyes were dark against his fair skin. It was hardly a surprise; the man hadn't slept much in the past weeks, if at all, and the only decent sleep he seemed to get was when Oliver quite literally shooed him and Cyrus off to bed for a few hours. Kazu's study had begun to look like that of a madman's, with open books and scrolls marked with notes strung up on the walls, each one somehow connected to the oracle deaths. It was maddening. Absolutely maddening! And they kept dying!

They needed to stop! Dying!

And where the hell was Cyrus? What could be taking him so long!

"Cyrus, we have work to be doing! Another one died!"

<p>Hiro stretched in his bed. He hadn't opened his eyes yet, taking the time to feel how comfortable his bed was. As nice as traveling is, a good bed can make you feel more rested than ever before. <b>"Good morning, Aerithe--"</b> He said, finally sitting up, only to find a messy bed where his traveling companion had been when they went to bed. <b>"Good grief, off already, and didn't wake me up? She'll probably be waiting, I better hurry."</b> He said to himself, Stretching again and forcing himself to get dressed finally.</p>
<p>Walking out of the inn, and paying for their room. <i>(His treat, as he had promised when they got in,)</i> He started to notice something odd about the day. Mainly, the sort of gossip that was flowing that day.</p>
<b>"Another Oracle dead, and this time, right in the square! Here!"
"I saw the whole thing-- Poor girl, What a way to go."
"Do you think the gods are gonna tire of killing their oracles and go for us instead...?"</b>
<p>Hiro felt a pit in his stomach, a bubbling rock of fear, but quickly dashed it. Aerithe must have been kept back because of all this gossip downtown. That must be it. If she was an oracle, she'd have told him, wouldn't she? Sure, they've been only traveling for a few weeks, but with all this business with the oracles, for sure she'd tell him if she was an Oracle.</p>
</p>... right?</p>
<p>Still unable to completely quell the fears, Hiro moved toward town square. There had to be a description of this Oracle. That way he could put these fears to rest and continue traveling with Aerithe. He had to. They'd for sure have a big laugh about this. Because she's not dead. She couldn't be, because she's not the Oracle. at all.</p>
<p> There it was, the noticeboard for the town. and sure enough, there was the big notice about the Third Oracle dead. Hiro squeezed his way through the crowd eager to see the news. The crowd reeked of fear and unease, but there was also morbid curiosity-- even for the most stubborn in their disbelief in gods, these had to be interesting news.</p>
<p>Hiro read the notice.</p>
<p>And his world shattered.</p>
<p><b>"... Aerithe?"</b></p>

<h3><div class="h3-underline">News and Updates</div></h3>
It’s been a month without update, but the wait was hopefully worth it. We have a bunch of news, so bear with us as we go through it. One of the biggest things is….

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Happy Birthday Antarsia!</div></h3>
A new year, and Antarsia has survived our first year! We couldn’t have done it without all of you guys, so thank you from the staff to you!! Staff has been working hard to bring new material to you guys and we really could not express how much it has meant to go on this journey with you all. For our 1st birthday, we have a few new things to celebrate our birthday! One of which is our god, Tharamos, has gotten into the birthday spirit. His skin has been updated to celebrate our birthday month. Go check it out!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">New Badges!</div></h3>
Staff cannot express how much they appreciate everyone, so a new awards system has been installed to show just that! These awards are badges in the shape of triangular gems that each represent a different achievement! This can range from contributing to the site to participating in an event, being active in our Discord, etc. To kick things off, it is Antarsia’s 1st birthday so everyone will be receiving an award for being with us as we celebrate! If you have not received this award, let Achera know! It will be available to all who have logged in during January.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">New Species, Curses, and Creatures!!</div></h3>
Please welcome the Nymphs, Seedlings, Sol’teras, Gargoyles, and Or’rix to our species page! The Nymphs were worked on by our very own @Immortal Cyan & @King Fury while the rest were done by @Kila! We also have Mimics that have been added to our curses page done by @Andromeda!

Bellonese have also gotten their artwork updated! You can thank our wonderful @Kila for that!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Plot Update!</div></h3>
Oh no! A third oracle has died! Aerithe, oracle of Zarkos, died publically in Prerio City square of what many believe to be suffocation.  Find out what happened in When Air Suffocates.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Timeskip!</div></h3>
The site time has moved forward to the 25th of Haliea. Please update your threads accordingly to reflect the new time.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Revamped Character Information!</div></h3>
To better help with navigation and Discord integration in the future, this section of the forum has been reorganized a bit. The Chat with Staff section has replaced the Questions section of the forum. While you can still ask questions on the forum, you can now do so in the Chat with Staff section! This section now includes Moving/Closing Threads, the Item Usage Tracker, and the new Add Characters to Guide thread! Anything that requires staff action will be placed in here.

The Looking for Threads and Thread Trackers section has now been changed to Looking for Threads and Plotting. Thread Trackers have moved to the revamped Character Journals and Thread Trackers section.

We also have introduced Wanted Ads! If you are looking to fill part of a character’s family, a new lover, etc. this is where you can post your request. This can be found in the revamped Character Adoptions and Wanted Ads.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Add Characters to Guide!</div></h3>
I mentioned this in the previous section, but this new thread is to help staff add your characters to the Character Directory! After characters have been accepted, the role-player is expected to post a small forum to this thread so staff can add them to the directory. You can check out the new section here.

Why fill a form? The coding we use can be complicated to keep adding characters to when we do 20+ at a time sometimes. So to make things easier, this little form breaks the information up so we can assembly-line the info into our code!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Guidebook Revamp!</div></h3>
The guidebook has reverted back to Tharamos’s Reign once more. It also has had the navigation rearranged so it makes more sense and easier to navigate. There have been a few new inclusions to various sections of the guidebook, so go take a peek!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Newbie Guide!</div></h3>
After what feels like forever, we finally have a newbie guide! This will help new members or potential members get an idea for how to navigate around the site. If you have any suggestions, feel free to ask a staff member found in the blue color!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Content Updates!</div></h3>
The Legends page has been updated to include 4 new legends, courtesy of @Kila. The Items page is also being revamped to include more thorough descriptions of some missing items we had in the shop.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Credits Page Added!</div></h3>
How have we gone this long without one?? Well fear no more! Check out our new credits page! We have all the credits for everything anyone has done to contribute to the site ranging from artwork to code, species, creatures, and more. It is broken down based on who is the original writer and who did edits if it was writing. If writing or artwork was done for our species and creatures, credits now appear under the basic information. Thank you everyone who has contributed. We couldn’t have done it without you!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Discord Integration!</div></h3>
We’re a big community on using our Discord, but we also have areas on the forum to use! So to support this, we have found ways to integrate our forum into Discord a bit better. These changes will be happening over the next month, but look out!

One of the biggest things is when someone posts in a specific area such as Looking for Threads, a message will show up in the Discord in the corresponding channel. This is to encourage you guys to post more to those areas on the board! Remember, you get gold (the site’s currency) to use for shop items when you post on the site!

We have also switched our cbox replacement from TitansEmbeds to widgetbot.io. It should provide a better experience to chat from the forum, so I encourage you all to use it! You can sign in with your discord there too, so it’ll be posted from your account with your name and avatar, just with BOT next to it! Widgetbot will allow for more fun features, so watch out for those as well slowly add them!

Mee6-kun is back! After Mee-kun worked so hard to give us levels along with Tatsu-kun, staff realized we didn’t need 2 leveling systems, so Mee-kun has been quietly waiting for a job. Well, staff is glad to bring back Mee-kun with Antarsia Fun Facts! These will be facts posted 1-2 times a day that reflect small facts about… well just about anything Antarsia related! This can range from info on the species to the gods, stuff staff did when contributing, to really anything! Enjoy and let Mee-kun know how much we’ve missed them!!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Referral Program!</div></h3>
Staff is excited to announce our new Referral Program! There are fun rewards to claim the more members who are referred by you! This can be redeemable for any member who has joined started January 1st, 2018 and will be available permanently. More information can be found in the Referral Program thread.


<h3><div class="h3-underline">Map Update!</div></h3>
The maps of Antarsia have been updated to include all recognized locations in Antarsia. This include landmarks, shrines, cities, villages, and more! Every location that has a written description is now on the map, so go check it out!

We hope that you all enjoy the new features and thank you once more for celebrating this birthday with us!! 

On a more serious note, this is a reminder to please read our rules once more. Staff has been informed of users joining that do not follow the rules or are below the age requirement. These rules are in place for a reason. Should anyone be found in violation of these rules, both the party involved and the party who has brought them to the site will be handled accordingly.

REFERRAL PROGRAM


Here on Antarsia we know each and every member is important in our ever growing family. We value the time and effort people put into either advertising for the site or mentioning their friends to come stop by! To show our appreciation, we have our Referral Program. There are different tiers based on how many members you bring in, but also for each member who joins and uses you as a referral!

How does it work?

For every member that puts your name as their referrer, both the referrer and referred person will receive 200 gold. No matter how many times you bring someone in, that will be an amount you receive every time per member. For example, if you get five to even sign up and try our site, that is 1,000 gold to spend in the shop. To encourage activity, if the referred member becomes active in the site and stays for six months staff will give both parties an additional 500 gold.

Tiers

5 referrals - An extra 1,000 gold!
10 referrals - Any item from the shop!
15 referrals - Auto-plot position! (Your character will be accepted automatically if you apply for a plot position so long as staff doesn't see any problems with the app.)
20 referrals - Ability to create a royal from any species excluding Tarsians!
30 referrals - Custom artwork from Achera! This can be
40 referrals - Ability to create the limited release tarsian!
50 referrals - Favor from a god!

There are also tiers to how many members you bring in. For every five members you bring in, we are willing to give you a 1000 gold. Now this offer is for anyone, member or staff!

How to Claim

To claim a referral, you must have the person who you referred post on this thread. They must state that you were their referrer and that’s it! Staff will add the gold to your account afterwards or contact you about your reward if you unlocked a new tier. If you have gained a new reward such as an auto-plot position, it will be logged in the Item Tracker that you have it for use.

Disclaimer: People who are found cheating will be disqualified from participating in this. Depending on the severity, gold and tier rewards may be stripped as well.

<b>Weather:</b> Cool and foggy with a chance of drizzle

Character's Name:
Tabassum Mandeep
Nicknames:
Hooked Mistress, Blind Huntress, Aurora of the Deep
Age:
2340
Gender:
Female
Species:
Leviathan
Abilities:
Physical: Hooked tendrils able to cut rock and shoot a mile in a second.

Magic: Uses water magic to 'see' and swim better
Visual Displacement when using bio-luminescence, making it difficult to pinpoint her location.
Shape Shifter Genes: Can shape shift into a Western Dragon.
Appearance:
The one and three fourths miles of her body is covered in a semi-opaque, bio-luminescent skin, the vast and hypnotic color shifts and patterns leading those who have seen it from afar to compare it to the Aurora Borealis. Although she does have scales, they are vestigial and only stands to increase the similarity, causing the light to split and sparkle. Because of this along with a natural magic, she always seem a small way off from where she actually is, although she is injured more easily than her truly scaled brethren.
Her gaping maw has numerous tendrils within, each able to lash out a mile in the blink of an eye, snagging any prey with the cruel, barbed hooks that sit at the end of each. Further in there are a dozen small arms, positioned so they can maneuver the meals into her throat. Bordering the edge of her maw are several hundred needle like teeth, extending such that when she closes her mouth, the jut out before her. Her eyes are the dead, empty affairs of a being to whom the light of the sun is unknown.
Personality:
Due to her extended isolation, her thought processes are even more disjointed than her kin's, causing her to jump conversationally sometimes. She finds the pain of others amusing, often 'toying' with her meals before she eats them. She doesn't take particular interest in the happenings of the world, instead preferring to try and spread terror, wishing to become a menace of mythical proportions. Due to her small size, she hides from larger creatures, for they could all be something looking to eat her. The exception is if she is certain she has enough of an advantage to win any conflict, in which case she hides only to strike out when the time is right.
History:
Whether from poor nutrition before birth or some sort of defect, while others stayed near the surface as youth, she went down to escape those who wished her to be food, down until they couldn't see her. Here she stayed, eating the glowing critters and feeding off of the organisms surrounding the thermal vents. Because most thing there relied on trickery or size to get food, as she grew, she became adept at ambushing her prey. This, coupled with her diet, left her a sort of glass cannon, hooks able to slice through rock but with a vulnerable hide.
