Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lucky. Definitely lucky.
Also Adenar and I had a pretty good idea the other day, for all of us going to war to wear all white, to show unity, mark us as separate from the rest, and as a slight joke that we are mourning our enemies in advance. I quite like the idea personally.

alright, for everyone who is part of this war effort. We need to get some s**t done about training. I know creativity isn't an issue, nor are powers.
Things I want to get accomplished though are tough for some of you.
1. using few powers (because we don't god mod, we are better than that) to the max. - This means choosing powers that have a wide basis for use. Being Creative. Ambiguity. When describing your powers be ambiguous so that no one can honestly claim you are cheating.
2. Posts. I want each one of us to be able to make at least a paragraph length post. I want t2 to t1.5 posts. (t1 is to ******** long and isn't much fun) If you have trouble coming up with things to write about. Talk about the environment, characters thoughts, emotions, how the attack is planned to land. How you dodged gracefully, ect.
3. Ability to dodge, call out, and counter.
Dodging an attack coming at you has to be done skillfully, but realistically. You can't just make them miss all the time. You have to keep a legitimate reason for your ability to dodge. As a battle keeps going, you should get tired as well, and be able to dodge less, or attack not as hard.
Calling people out. If another person is god modding or auto-hitting and s**t. Feel free to ask a second opinion. Or call them out on it. But do it politely. Tell them you think it is god modding or autohitting, and ask for them to either A. edit the post so it isn't doing that, or B get a mod involved to decide. If you are in the wrong, just keep going with it them. Don't get mad.
Countering moves is an effective way to do things. Also be wary, but logical. If someone attacks you with a forward thrust or some s**t, and you dodge into them close and can stab them, or grab them. Say it like you will grab and stab them such and such.

Ok, that's what i want people to work on to make us better rpers. Feel free to have more ideas.

Argento calmly walked through the tall grass letting his new found power of diffusion push the air around him lightly flattening the grass giving him a much better view of his surroundings. His tattered cloak adorned with his rank in the guard ruffled lightly in the breeze created from the light exertion of his ability in his steps. A small rattling noise came from several satchels on his hip as the small metallic contents bumped into one another. He had his natural smile which rarely faded from his face as he spotted his trainer a decent distance away from him. Being sure to stay a good range away from him he halted his movement and his power allowing the grass to return to its natural state as he stared at the man in the grass just a stones throw away.

(very nice. A few more useless comments about your feelings, thoughts, and the environment and our all set. That is the hardest part though. To make long [multi-paragraph] posts you need to add a bunch of irrelevant stuff. Though when doing fighting actions, it's all relevant)

((I understand that perfectly Argento, I only include things if they matter to other players. And only once has someone complained about that, and she was an elitist b***h anyway. Nice girl, but utterly elitist.))

Argento's smile widened as he caught on to the dragon guardians words. Quickly he one of his blades which had been very roughly crafted leaving many nicks and cuts in the blade. He rarely used it for battle not trusting it to take a blow from an opponent of any strength to their being whatsoever. He cast a glance at the godlike being now standing in the field along with him and the dragon. Though a brave Lycan he couldn't help but feel a small bit of nervous anxiety rise and fall within him. He returned his eyes to his blade and then in one fluid motion of his muscular arm he sent the rugged weapon flying in the air aimed next to the dragon, the Lycan's smile returning as he awaited to see Maxion's plan unfold.

Adenar stood, miles away watching the proceedings with no visual aid. His senses were keen as ever, and his mind processed every sensory input the instant they were received. He knelt down and put his hand to the ground. He could feel the vibrations emitted from the creatures of the earth and on it. He focused in on the group below. He recognized Argento and Lord Maxion's voice, and the electrical currents coursing through the earth reached him from miles away. The amount of energy it would take to power an electrical field of that size was impossible, the energy consumption would be enough to drain an entire army of super strong lycans. The wind was gusting lightly to his back, masking his scent from the others. He appeared to vanish, and sprinted the miles in several seconds, not even losing his breath. He appeared silently behind Argento, his blurred form appearing still again. Adenar appeared unarmed, no visible weapons on his body, and his light tight camouflaged clothing seemed to shift to his background, offering useful camouflage. His footsteps were light and almost completely silent. He smiled, " So the name is Appocate then..."

((I look forward to fighting alongside you all. :] This is an exciting moment for myself.))
