So there’s this freeform roleplay that someone made, and a whole buncha people joined it. Only problem is, the OP has mysteriously gone missing, and some of the players (that’s us, if you can’t tell) have taken over and created essentially a whole new thing. Since it was, y’know, different, we decided to get ourselves a shiny new thread to plan shit in. So. Here we are. Let’s do this.
Here’s the premise we came up with:
Sburb has been altered by the crystals. What are the crystals? It’s unclear. The only thing that is clear is that they will take over the multiverse if given half a chance. They’ve twisted this session, linking two separate universes, adding new game mechanics, and even renaming the game. This isn’t the Sburb you know.
This is Scryb.
And you have a choice to make.
Light?
Or dark?

>ChrisClark13: Exposit
The Crystals
Sentient, giant, crystals that want to catalogue all of time, which just so happens to involve taking over all the universes. Comes in two types: A-crystals, the smart ones, and B-crystals, non-sentient crystal power batteries generated by Scryb that can be used by the players and carapician agents. The A-crystals’ goal is to collect the B-crystals for their purposes. Note: The denizens guard giant, powerful, B-crystals, and the rest of the B-crystals are small sized.
What’s different
The Prospitans are using the crystals to turn the tide of the war, not to mention the White Queen is a bit... fanatical about them.
The Dersites have turned to using cloak-and-dagger tactics, as they refuse to use the crystals.
Oh... and the White King was killed for being a traitor, leaving the White Queen in charge.
New shiny abilities: Players have the option of either supporting Prospit, Derse, or neither. How the player advances in the game is closely tied to who they chose to support (or not support).
TL;DR: The addition of crystals to Sburb has added new abilities/changes and increased strife between the factions. Choose one: Prospit (New Crystal powers), Derse (New “Midnight” abilities), or neither.
(Note: How the 3 paths balance against each other is still being worked out!)
Make sure to give us your Skype contact info with your character, because otherwise you don’t get in on all the planning. Seriously, that’s where we do pretty much everything, and if it isn’t done there, you can get to it from there.

Aight, here's my profile for Terry Woods. Esicca Inaquo should be up fairly soon.
Title-- Mage of Shade
Name-- Terry Woods
Symbol-- Black sun
Fetch modus-- Void modus
Dreams on-- Derse
Land-- Land of Brilliance and Reflections
Strife deck-- soundKind
Bio-- You've always been a bit of a weirdo. You've been really into horror, dark fantasy, and the like for pretty much as long as you can remember. Your favorite kind of story is one where the main character is completely helpless against whatever eldritch horror is opposing him. Whether you prefer when he wins anyway or not is up in the air, but you know which you'd rather a part of. You see darkness everywhere, and sometimes you feel a part of it. You don't know if you like that or not. At other times, you try to stay away from the darkness, driving it off by any means possible, to the point where you've been unwilling to leave your room, with every light on 24/7. You feel that soon, you'll have to decide one way or the other, but which you'll pick, you don't know...
You distract yourself from the upcoming choice by acting like nothing's ever wrong, and writing cheery fanfiction of positive media. However, you always type in a manner that is generally seen as concurrent with the dark forces in horror, because you don't want to forget altogether.
You also have a bit of a flair for the dramatic, and enjoy describing things as though the fate of the world hinges on them, even if they're completely unimportant.
Your chumhandle is gravenStalker and you speak in a complete monotone with a BIt oF dIstORtiOn
Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Title-- Knight of Light

Strife deck-- bladekind
Bio-- Your name is CHRIS CLARK, you are 16 years old, your 17TH BIRTHDAY is SOON. Your interests include FOXES, ANIME, ROLE-PLAYING, and VIDEO-GAMES. People generally consider you to be a NICE GUY. Because you are a NICE GUY.
You live with your SISTER and your DOG somewhere in SOUTHERN UTAH. While you were young your sister SCARRED YOU FOR LIFE by dressing you up in GIRLY DRESSES against your will, as a result you cannot stand being in the same room as one of those dresses. Your only friend in life is your LOYAL DOG and your friends ONLINE.
You are a SHY person, you don't like to talk to RANDOM PEOPLE ONLINE very much.
You are a SLIGHTLY-GOOD STRIFER and you wield a BOKEN you got while on vacation in HAWAII. You are also a OKAY GUITAR PLAYER as well, but you haven't played it at all since your 15TH BIRTHDAY. You like the number 13.
Your chumhandle is thirteenthHour, you type lower case, sometimes UPPERCASE FOR EMPHASIS. um... if that's okay with you.
Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Okay here's Lupe again
Title-- Maid of Heart
Name-- Lupe Kindler
Symbol-- Witch symbol of Blessings.
Fetch modus-- Bookmark Modus (An abstraction in the shape of a book appears and the card is stored inside. The bookmark is then lost and the only way to find it is to remember the page it was placed at or rapidly flip through the pages, making all the items stored come out flying out of the sylladex)
Dreams on-- Prospit
Land-- Land of Fog and Essence
Strife deck-- BroomKind
Bio-- Your name is LUPE KINDLER and you are a WITCH.
You're descended from a long line of MAGIC PRACTITIONERS, and you mean REAL MAGIC, not parlor tricks. You believe, no you KNOW magic is real. Nothing your FATHER says will ever deviate you from the path you've chosen; You're going to grow up to become the MOST POWERFUL WITCH in history, and you'll make him eat his words, in a very literal way.
Sadly, in your young age you are unable to do any magic at all. You believe it's because your magic hasn't matured yet, so you STUDY magic instead so that when the time comes you'll be ready. You've read dozens of BOOKS filled with CHARMS, HEXES and CURSES and you can confidently say you know most of them BY HEART by now.
You have a very STRONG PERSONALITY, you won't let anyone get away with bullying you or insulting you in any way. You're also EXTREMELY BLUNT and HONEST about what you think of other people; This isn't the best strategy when the goal is to make friends.
Your Chumhandle is CommittedConjurer and you don't really give much thought to punctuation or capitalization when you're writing you have better things to do
Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Whoo, new thread party! *balloons and noisemakers for everyone*
Suggestion: Thread-migraters, put different characters in separate posts so they can be linked to from the first post. Also, if you have sprites(s) include them with your character's post so everything's organized.
----------
Title-- Seer of Hope
Name-- Lily Archer
Symbol-- Butterfly
Fetch modus-- PRESENT modus; items go into a box and are shaken around for a second, then split into smaller boxes with 1 to 3 items inside. To retrieve them, you have to select a box near the top of the pile; picking from elsewhere is possible but ejects all the captchalouged items in a rain of packages and ribbons. There's no telling what useful - or useless - things will come out of the chosen box once the bow is untied! It's not always helpful, yet can be fun for somepony willing to deal with the random selection.
Dreams on-- Derse
Land-- Land of Cascades and Spires
Strife deck-- bookKind; you've got so many around, it just feels natural to use them for defense as well as knowledge! You also possess the bowKind abstratus, which you never use. It was a gift from your father, but you don’t know the first thing about archery and would be more likely to end up with an arrow in your foot than anything else.
Bio-- Your name is LILY ARCHER, and you're quite pleased to say that you had your 16th birthday on MAY 3. If asked about yourself, you would quickly admit that YOU LOVE TO COOK. If there was anything you could do every day, and get paid for, it would be cooking. Your dream is to become a BAKER, as you also like to brighten people's days with TASTY TREATS. It's not at all strange for you to mail cookies to friends, even the ones you've never met yet. The collection of COOKBOOKS that fill your shelves and rest in piles upon the floor signify that you don't limit your experiments to pastries, however, and you've tried to make food from every corner of the world. Though not all of them have come out deliciously, you DON'T LET THAT GET YOU DOWN.
Your other favorite things are ANIMATED FILMS and TELEVISION SHOWS, particularly those for YOUNGER AUDIENCES. It's something you genuinely appreciate and watch for fun, NOT out of IRONY at all...which you try very hard to HIDE FROM YOUR PEERS. Plastered on the walls next to your favorite characters are countless images and posters of LEGENDARY FIGURES or FANTASTIC CREATURES. The myths and tales of humanity's past are just as wonderful as the fictional tales of the present, in your eyes. As a result, you actually have very little room for posters, as most of the space on your walls is full of BOOKSHELVES with tomes of MYTHOLOGY, classic FAIRY TALES, and epic STORIES of heroes and ADVENTURE. You don't mind talking about the stories with others, and prefer doing that over revealing your various animated fandoms. You WORRY more that people will LAUGH AT YOU for liking kid’s shows more than for liking kid’s stories, for reasons even you don’t understand. You never claimed that your feelings made sense all the time, though.
Between baking and reading, you spend your time working at the local pet shop, and have TWO DOGS of your own. If being a CHEF doesn't pan out for you, you'd happily TEND TO ANIMALS as a CAREER or something. This is the exact opposite to what your DAD does; he's a BUSINESSMAN that handles sales at a large corporation. Since his job requires him to be away from home often, you rarely get pestered by him. When he comes back, however, it's like he wants to LECTURE you extra to make up for all the opportunities he missed! It's almost IMPOSSIBLE to avoid him when he wants to TALK, and he always pops up out of nowhere. Sometimes you wonder if your straight-laced father is some kind of BUSINESS-NINJA. But that’s just silly.
Because you're easily drawn into one or another of your hobbies and have a poor sense of time, you write a large number of NOTES TO YOURSELF in all sorts of places. There are STICKY NOTES on just about every available surface, your LAPTOP and PHONE are full of REMINDERS and ALARMS, and you even wear a WATCH...not that it helps much. That's okay, because constantly being late for things is part of your charm! Or at least that's what you'd like to say, but instead you just hope it doesn't make your friends too mad at you.
Your handle on Pesterchum is sagaSeeker, and you type in a pretty ordinary way, except that you never capitalize pronouns. you also use lots of emotes =) and double your punctuation when excited!!
Find me on Pesterchum as abstractedPatcher, or on AIM as windspark01, or on Steam as fireflower22, or on Skype under fireflower22 as well. I'm not always at the computer but I'm usually logged in and will see messages eventually. I also have tumblr now, though I'm not super active there... ^^;

Title-- Ward of Peace (Helps others to protect the peace)
Name-- Shadia Hydron
Symbol-- >()<
Fetch modus-- medicinekitkind
Dreams on-- propit
Land-- Land of Ripples and Floods
Strife deck-- taserkind
Bio-- You are constantly tired and are one of the few sea dwellers who prefers talking to lowbloods then culling them You honestly don't think you'll last much long considering that you have never culled anyone even your rude neighbors next door. Your lusus Jellyfishmom used to keep them in check with jolts of electricity, some more harsh then others. Now that you are 5 she assumes you are old enough to keep yourself alive because if you can't even take care of pesky neighbors then you really arent worth protecting at this point. While you feel this is a bit harsh, you understand her point. When you aren't dealing with your neighbors, you are sleeping or relaxing to soothing music. You really like music, but only relaxing types. You know a lot about relaxing things and ways to knock people out. For some reason, these go hand and hand for you. Sometimes people are too stressed out and you need to knock them out for their own good. Or if they're attacking you.
Even though you claim to be a very peaceful highblood, you do have violent tendencies. You are constantly annoyed by all trolls who shout frequently. You TRY to get along with them, because peace still works best. Even so, you really can't stand them and sort of wish you could cull them now. Most of the time, instead of doing this, you try and release your anger one something else. You aren't entirely sure, but this might be one of the reasons your neighbors don't like you. Your lusus disapproves of anger and death, so she tends to shock you whenever you get too angry. This is the main reason you are so calm all the time. There had been a time when you were one of the more violent trolls, but your lusus put a stop to that. After being shocked so many times, you gave up and decided you might as well spend your time protecting peace instead of destroying it. You think you're happier now, but you aren't positive.
Because of your incessant sleeping, you don't know many people, but this doesn't bother you. The ones you do know are nice enough to make up for that
Your trolltag is calmBubble and you type ===(with.a.bit.of.a.pause.between.each.word.and.sh ow.your.specibus.off.at.the.beginning.and.end.of.e ach.sentence)===

Strife deck-- firebatonkind
Bio-- You have a FONDNESS for ALL THINGS SHAKESPEARE and a LOVE for MAGIC. You always CLAIM to be a WITCH, but, unfortunately, being a JADE-BLOOD, you have no SPECIAL TALENTS, so you MAKE DO by having a VAST KNOWLEDGE of POTION CREATION. You have a VAST ASSORTMENT of BLACK HATS, all with your SYMBOL on it, because having your symbol on your dress would RUIN the PERFECT BLACKNESS. Your lusus is a GALEBEAST, which, as you have said MULTIPLE TIMES, is NOTHING like a PURRBEAST.
Your trolltag is triCoven and you speak in the way of old, repeating, onc3, twic3, and thr33 tim3s, all important lyrics you say, cursing anyone who cross3s you

Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Okay so here's Gorhn and my Exile.
Gorhn Veisser
Your name is GORHN VEISSER.
You come from an INCREDIBLY WEALTHY FAMILY. You would probably WAVE THIS FACT IN EVERYONE'S FACES, if it weren't for the fact that you've never even seen anyone in person besides your parents and butler, who were all killed one year ago due to a FATAL COOKING MISHAP. You are very antisocial, and have hardly any empathy at all, and as such, you DON'T GIVE A SHIT about practically anything, not even the deaths of your guardians. You were born, raised and homeschooled in your MANSION, and are virtually unknown to authorities due to the remoteness of your home. Your appearance is SOMEWHAT EFFEMINATE due to your thin build, soft facial features, long clean hair and a lack of body hair or facial hair, yet you still possess and UNDEFINABLE AIR OF MASCULINITY.
You are deeply fascinated by POWER, of both the personal and political variety, leading you to spend a lot of time reading HISTORICAL TEXTS and GENETIC RESEARCH PAPERS in order to find ways to acquire the power you want, even though you know it will NEVER HAPPEN. You perpetually envy the rulers of ancient times, and try to emulate them by LARPING with your endless supply of TOYS, which you refuse to discard due to NOSTALGIA. Though you did not care about the death of your parents or your butler, you eventually began to feel LONELY, and decided to download Pesterchum so that you could talk to people from the world outside your mansion. You are somewhat PARANOID, and have found making friends using pesterchum to be very difficult. The friends that you do have however, you are VERY PROTECTIVE of, even POSSESSIVE. Though your can usually control your temper, when you think that someone has wronged you, you fly into a COMPLETELY BESERK FIT OF VIOLENT RAGE and attack the cause of your trouble.
Your Sylladex is set to an INCANTATION MODUS. To retrieve your captchalogued items, you must must utter the unique incantation specific to that item. The incantations are stored in your memory, and it is a fairly decent modus, but some incantations can be ludicrously hard to pronounce.
Your chumhandle is troglodyticEmperor and you Tend tΩ have a bit Ωf an ΩbsessiΩn ωith the Ωmega, thΩ℧gh mΩstly beca℧se the symbΩl lΩΩks cΩΩl.

You're probably one of the most BUBBLIEST (is that even a word?) people on the planet! So CHEERFUL and RANDOM as well. Although, when you pester someone, you might come off as annoying.. You just deal with it. You CAN act serious at time needed though. You're sort of DISORGANIZED, but you try to keep it organized, or your STRICT (asian) MOM will be on your back, ground you for a week or so. Then you wouldn't be able to do what you love..
Playing VIDEO GAMES, listening to MUSIC while DRAWING with your tablet on your COMPUTER.. How horrifying!

You, sir, are VERY carefree! Not a single worry in the world, taking the easy route of life. Maybe that's why you complain when someone has a job for you. That's also why you're very lazy.. In a sense! Your lusus takes care of everything in your hive... Except your room! Which is why it's so messy. But you rarely stay indoors, as you love fresh air and the outdoors! You think its just so nice.
Your trolltag is aeroLightning and you break things up in-to syl-la-bles welp but some-times you just are EXCITED AND CAPITALIZE EVERYTHING
Wooooo.
On a side note, did you know that Seri's symbol used to be much darker?
It turned lighter as a pre-sprite.
I didn't use it because I was not on my school computer at the time.
Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Alright here’s a repost of my troll.
Character interaction note: Elanus doesn't know of any of the other trolls until she ends up in the same session as them. Skaia's invisible hand at work.
Title-- Seer of Heart Name-- Elanus Laetus Symbol-- Aquila (eagle constellation) Fetch modus-- Slack Modus Dreams on-- Derse Land-- Trees and Ash Consorts-- Squirrels Strife deck-- Sentrykind Lusus-- Kite Blood-- Jade (#009966) Bio--
Your name is ELANUS LAETUS and saying you have ASHEN relationships is an UNDERSTATEMENT.
You no longer BOTHER to remember when you AUSPISTISED for the first time but since those two you’ve been CONSTANTLY switching Auspistees.
You don’t go into DETAIL on your Auspistices but EVERYONE you know says you are an EXPERT at the FINER points of romance. You WISH you weren’t.
You live secluded in a the depths of a PRIMEVAL forest with your TALON-BEAST Lusus, whom you like to FLY with. You also keep a MODEST library of OLD documents and tales. You like to READ and STUDY them. You would RATHER be an expert in those than in romance.
You also ENJOY playing games on and off the computer. Especially games which involve STRATEGY and PRIOR PLANNING.
You carry the slack modus which only allows the retrieval of items which involve the LEAST effort for the CURRENT situation.
As such your strife specibus is allocated to SENTRYKIND. You keep a single, automated sentry gun which you use to fight. It involves NO EFFORT. Unfortunately it cannot MOVE and it fires at ANYONE in its SIGHTS. Even YOU.
Your tag is sylvanFlyer and you [Bored] state your emotions as you speak.
And here the exile
Character Name: Destitute Courser Former Names: Dersite Collaborator, Depths Commandant Quirks: teNds to speAK With a blAst. Former Kingdom: Prospit/Derse Gender: Female Former Title: White Agent Kind Abstrata: Shotgunkind
A long intro which is no intro:
You are now the Destitute Courser and you permanently dissatisfied. You are dissatisfied with your exile, you are dissatisfied with this measly excuse for a desert, you are dissatisfied with your new home and you dissatisfied with the manner of your exile. You are dissatisfied with everything.
You dislike being an exile but at least there are now less things you can be dissatisfied with, hopefully.
You were originally the Depths Commandant on Prospit, in charge of the crypts and catacombs of Prospit’s core. It was there you oversaw the safety of your workers and the security of the crystals that were stockpiled there. You hate crystals. You hate them so much.
At first you were merely dissatisfied with their presence but you encountered the White Queen, may a Dersite stab her repeatedly, slavering and raving at the Core Crystal. It was then you understood what was happening to your workers, you also later found out why exactly the White King was killed.
It was at that point you did what you had never before dared entertain thoughts. You became a traitor. After ordering a change to the usual guard routines and tampering with the roster so that you had a clear path, you attempted to irreparably damage the Core Crystal with a mixture of explosives and shotgun shells.
You failed miserably at that. Put it was too late to try again, the attempted sabotage brought every Prospitian worth their salt bearing down on your position.
You fled to Derse where you joined their ranks, after a lot of convincing and delivery of all the faults, flaws and exploitable mistakes that you had been unable to stamp out of the traditional guard routines for the Crystal Vaults. Your work for them was short lived though as you got captured by Prospitian Agents during a mission in the Veil.
From there it was a one way trip to exile. That was thoroughly dissatisfying.
You find all your companions dissatisfying, with maybe the exception of that other Prospitian. The one obsessed with jewels or something. He shares your feelings about those Crystals and that Queen.
Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Okay here's my Exile.
Pedestrian Jabberer:
You are a Pedestrian because you walk.
You are a Jabberer because you tend to jabber.
Now then, you used to be a Jeweller, a prospitian one at that. You used to carve the most beautiful gems into images of Our Glorious Speaker. Your jewels were worn by the most important royals, even the queen sported jewels of your making sometimes. Your biggest works of art were hung on the most gilded walls, showing to the world the beauty of the great Speaker.
Then one day, it happened. Those crystals started to rise out of the ground. The queen sent out search parties to gather all the pieces she could: She was obsessed! A few turns later, she didn't even want the Speaker to be immortalized anymore! She only cared about her stupid crystals! Her insanity had reached new levels, you couldn't tolerate being treated like a buffoon any longer!
You rue the day those crystals made it to your table of holy crafts. You were ordered to do the unthinkable: Cut the biggest crystal in the kingdom so it could replace what you liked to think as your Magnum Opus on the palace's wall. You were fed up, you had had enough. You threw your craftsman crown onto the ground at the queens feet and exploded into a torrent of accusations and criticism. Forty-five seconds later you were inside an exile's ship, heading for the unknown.
The desert is horrible. You hate it so much. There's not even any jewels sans the ones you wear on your fingers to this day. At least you get to see the face of the Speaker every turn as you rise your hand into the morning sun. This place may be a mess, and you may not like your companions very much, but anything is better than going back to that corrupted, hollow place they still call Prospit. You hate those crystals. If a chance to eliminate them was ever in your reach, even for one moment, you would take it without a second thought.

Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Right, here's my guy reposted, but I may just replace him with a new troll. I'm sending Harlez in to make sure I've got a spot. He's a good little soldier but I'm worried he's getting a little ragged round the edges.
Name: Harlez Quince. Title: Mage of void. Chumhandle:harleQuinn13 Quirk: "g"s are replaced with "9"s, "G"s are replaced with "6"s, "gg"s are replaced with "69"s and "T"s are replaced with "7"s. Why? Mainly because he things 6s, and therefore 9s, and 7s are mystical numbers. Admittedly he views 3 and 8 the same way but replacing them for E and B just looks stupid. Who'd do that? Land: Land of Stars and Storms Age: 7 sweeps Gender: Male Blood: Dark Brown. #52240 Guardian/Lusus: Snape. A small serpent with changing eye colours. Red, green and blue. It's obsessed with threes. Sometimes it focuses on the past, or the present, or the future. To be evil, neutral or good. To be chaotic, neutral or lawful, etc. The green-eyed mood seems to be the dominant one thankfully. Fetch Modus: CUPkind: One chosen item and two random items are placed under cups which are then shuffled about. Strife Specibus: STAFFkind. Likes: Knowledge, weird games, magic, statistics, graples (troll apples), literature, dress-up and solitude. Dislikes: Surprises, failed expectations, being commanded, loudness and excitability, waste, highbloods and isolation. Dream moon: Derse Land: Land of stars and storms. Consorts: Chameleons.
Personality: Disobediant at best, downright bloody-minded conflicting at worst. He prefers to do his own thing without being bossed around. He likes to seek out mysteries and forgotten knowledge. Doesn't really work well with others, and if he has to, prefers those who are meek and quiet to others. Unfortunately, those type of trolls are both rare and frankly, don't get out much, like him. Doesn't know how to deal with other trolls much and fears them because of this. Underneath that arduous and difficult personality, is someone a little desperate for attention though.
Appearance: A 3-pronged staff, left, right and centre of his chest. He likes dark clothes. He wears the green glasses in a subconscious attempt to attract his lusus back, and because it looks kinda cool, and hides the bags under his eyes. Plus, he needs glasses. Background: You love magic and mystery and myths of old. You've collected quite a respectable library for a lowblood over the years, especially due to it being such a rare taste. You make sure to hide yourself away lest higher bloods of the same interests come after you and take your possessions, probably making the hobby even more rare while they're there. You've heard of that happen before to one or two others who weren't cautious enough.
You've survived so long due to having you hive located snugly over a little cliff deep in a maze of caves, pitfalls and one or two lavapits, it's quite deep, nicely out of the way somewhere, and using your powers over animals and lusii, you filled it up with some of the nastiest creatures you could, quickly making it seem uninhabitable and a death-trap. You don't go out much either and when you do, you use a little back exit that involves you having to swim through a stream for about a minute before being spat out. The things you do for privacy and seclusion. You used to explore with your lusus in your younger days, when he still hung around with you, and found a few squibbles about squiddles which sparked the beginning of your obsession with the unnatural.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot there to start you off except some weird lines and an old stick you've turned, in your mind, into your mage's staff. You also found a few masks down there. One showed a laughing, or perhaps manic, or maybe happy expression, the second showed a sad, or perhaps annoyed or maybe angry expression while the third was simply apathetic. You found that one the most suspicious. But you took them home anyway and after a few years, on a whim spurn from, though he wouldn't admit it, loneliness, gave them bodies. He'd talk to them, play with them, pretend they were his minions, or advisors. He found a picture of masked creatures in one of his books, and give them clothing to match them. Red, blue and green coloured clothes with little hats and wands with bells on the end. Soon after that, you lost track of two of them and things turned kinda weird. Your remaining doll begin to change it's face when you weren't looking, and it's location. You stopped talking to your last remaining imaginary friend when you woke up with it sitting beside your face and it's arm raised above your head.
You don't talk much now at all, sleeps become much more elusive also, you push things like feeding and drinking to the side, ignoring the damage turning your body thin and unhealthy. You can still swim and run well enough, it's not like you'd stand a chance in a fight anyway. Magic isn't real. You don't like admitting this to yourself but when you do, you begin going out less. There's still plenty of books you haven't read, and when you do go out you make sure to take some with you, to trade around. You've wasted time writing out copies of them all anyway.
The only food you eat now is fruit and vegetables, from the small garden near your hive, and you drink from the river going through the cave. You've recently started using pesterchum for more social purposes than chatting to other fanatics. You need some human contact, you feel like you're going crazy all alone in here, or maybe you already have. No, stupid thoughts. Anyway, so long as you make sure not to mention your real name, or your interests, or your location, or talk to any highbloods, you should be fine.
Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Yes to both questions.
We have one troll slot and one human slot left open.
There may be competition for that human slot but the troll one is open at the moment.
And if I am correct in what the OP means, we may go to 9 slots each (meaning two open in both).
Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Here we go.
Title--Mage of Hope
Name-- Casien Phault
Symbol-- Looks like a phone symbol, just with a space cut down the middle.
Fetch modus-- Phone Number Kind-You must enter a phone number to retrieve the item, all in a Phone like Sylladex.
Dreams on-- Prospit
Land-- Land of Reflection and Wood
Strife deck-- WhipKind
Bio-- Your name is CASIEN PHAULT. You are 6.7 SOLAR SWEEPS old. You enjoy READING, SINGING, and PLAYING THE EARTH GUITAR. You seem to hate WHEN PEOPLE GANG UP ON YOU. You are actually QUITE SHY for someone who is NICE TO EVERYONE. Sometimes your IMAGINATION gets the best of you and your thinkpan. You don't have a lusus anymore, for it died in an accidental FALLING OF A TREE. Your blood is SKY BLUE, but that doesn't necessarily mean you like being a highblood. Your trolltag is terrifiedFollower and you speak in a quiet tone, putting three i's instead of one, and you put a receiver [[ (==) in front of all your sentences.
Re: [SCRYB]: Eldritch Light OOC - 14/16 slots taken
Title-- Prince of Mind
Name-- Zayrat Sahana
Symbol-- Cross
Fetch modus-- Pac-Man Modus
Dreams on-- Derse
Land-- Land of Eruptions and Chaos
Strife deck-- poleKind
Bio-- Your name is ZAYRAT SAHANA, and you are pretty much a huge FREAK. You have THREE HORNS, which is a pretty weird thing to see as normally horns come in twos or at least fours, and you were hatched without a pupil in your left eye, which you wear a patch over to hide. If there was an award for most mutations, you would totally win. You're surprised you didn't get afflicted with CANDY RED BLOOD too. Although having YELLOW BLOOD doesn't exactly put you very high up in the first place. You get put down and laughed at for your mutations and to a lesser extent your blood, and frankly you are FUCKING SICK OF IT. There isn't an awful lot you can do about it though, which sucks.
You also have a variety of INTERESTS. You really enjoy PLAYING VIDEO GAMES, especially RETRO VIDEO GAMES. You have a guilty pleasure for playing REALLY SHITTY ONES, because they remind you how TOTALLY NOT SHITTY you are, no matter how many other trolls would like to disagree. You like to attempt to PROGRAM VIDEO GAMES, but your SHORT ATTENTION SPAN really fucks that up. Your computer is pretty much full of all of your FAILED GAME PROJECTS, most of which are ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. This doesn't discourage you, however, and you strive to become a better programmer. Which will probably never happen.
You hate talking to your fellow trolls, but you have to due to your OVERWHELMING LONELINESS. Your lusus, a BEAR, doesn't really pay much attention to you. Your trollhandle is unrelentingAcheron and you speak in a manner that is [SHORT AND CONCISE.] [FUCK OFF.]
