Battlefield: WE VOLCANIC NOW (check the attached image). Just to codify it a little more, here are the main areas: the Southern Crags, the Western Ridges, the Ashen Center, the Northern Mountains, and the Eastern Hills. Since the middle of the battleground (the ashen center) is kind of bleak, pretend like there are some rocky formations scattered around it that would provide cover. Rules: It's a fight to the death... or not. This time, if you walk away, you get to live with your shame rather than getting eaten by forest Mezeks. Normal Bastion rules, no healing, no summoning, no powerplays, etc. Not really a surprise, but Dreux and Jordan aren't participating, so it's just us. Posting Order: Alex Dan Abe Dreux Attachments:

Name: Tsunoii Race: Abyssial Faction Information: Works for the Demons, but frequently lashes out at them, so he's not really trusted. He is wanted by the Seraphics, the Feratics and the Primordials for various charges of murder, assault, arson, etc. Background: An Abyssial who was raised under a noble family and fairly sheltered. He naturally had an affinity for Necromancy, which his parents tenuously fostered while trying to instill lessons that would prevent Tsunoii from using the magic for evil. Tsunoii grew up with a jaded perspective on the world, which was shattered as soon as he was old enough to explore the world outside Orunomu, his home city in Siethe. What he saw was filth and corruption. The outside world was nothing like he imagined. Tsunoii ran away from home, joining up with the demonic faction after being recognized for having immense destructive capability. Personality: Tsunoii is a bit obnoxious, he knows that his power is great and will openly mock those weaker than him. However, when someone of equal or greater power hits the scene, one of three things could happen: first, Tsunoii may just retain the same obnoxious attitude. Second, he may become deadly serious and focused on defeating the new, strong opponent. Finally, he may enter into a fit of madness, where his aura seethes darkness and he attacks relentlessly with no regard for his own well-being. Appearance: Spiky-haired abyssial, average build (not too bulky or skinny), eyes that glow white. He is wearing a light suit of grey and black armor over an ornate garb. Goals: Find those that are strong and challenge them Eliminate the weak Magical Inclination: High Technological Inclination: Low Known Magical Doctrines and Foci: Necromancy- Shadow Magic and Cursing. Shamanism- Elemental Magic. Equipment: A single Odachi and a very light shield (used for parrying) mounted on the left forearm. Light armor over ornate garb. Items not on your person: Owns a house in Sarasein under a false name. Living Condition: Civilian. Credits: None. Dreux' CharacterName: Tobyx Race: Fabrilian Gender: Female Age: ∞ Faction Information: Feratics + Primordials- Background: Personality: Appearance: 3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdP6Lp2ceqY/TE....00/adjutant.PNGGoals: Magical Inclination:low Technological Inclination: High Battle Tactics: Erratic, agile, dodgy, Known Magical Doctrines and Foci: Equipment: Twin Prismatic Pistols w/ laser sight, silencer, and overcharger (more powerful shots), Mind-link terminal and Upgraded optical implants, Light Alloy armor with Prismatic Shielding, Aura Bypass Field (when near him, it is more difficult to cast).

Name: Ulrog
Race: Saven
Gender: Male
Age: 41
Faction Information: Primordial Seraphics - He is fairly neutral toward the Seraphics. He recognizes the purity of their intentions, but also sees the flaws. There is no ill will against them, but he will not help them over the Primordials or Feratics. Demons - He despises demons, and the feeling is mutual. Against those that follow Exilus, he has only ever shown contempt. Primordials - Prominent warrior-shaman, hailed as a true ally to the Primordials. However, there is a collection of shamans which question his loyalty. Feratics - He has only presented himself as an enemy to the Feratics while in the midst of battle (although an aggressive one at that). Ulrog has been known to seek peaceful ends to conflicts between the Primordials and Feratics.
Background: (Update pending...)
Personality: Although his appearance generally gives the impression that he is a barbaric savage, he is not so. Ulrog is a kind-hearted man who seeks peace to be brought in Bastion. His sense of honor and virtue are both strong. The only people he ever kills in cold-blood are traitors, it does not matter who they betray, for he believes that one must always stay true to himself, or he shall have nothing. He recognizes that in order to bring peace, there must be balance, and so he hopes to be able to bring about the balance between good and evil as well as nature and technology.
Appearance: Rough appearance as seen in the veteran warriors of Saven native to Denesmier. He has a short, scruffy beard which encompasses his jawline and a man of medium-length brown hair. He has numerous scars all over his body, the most prominent and defining being a part-burn-part-cut which goes from his right cheek to his ear. His left eye is vibrant green, while his right eye is a dark purple. He stands at 6'7" and is built to last. His bestial form seems to be a lupine-ursine cross; it has the general build of a wolf, but powerful limbs and size like a great bear.
Goals: Cleanse the world of the evils of technology. Find a solution which does not mean the eradication of the Fabrilians.
Magical Inclination: High
Technological Inclination: Low
Known Magical Doctrines and Foci: Shamanism - Elementalism/Enchanting
Equipment: He is adorned in leather armor reinforced by an underlay of ring mail and wears a cloak of simple cloth. At his side is a bastard sword which has been in his family for generations. It is fabled that this sword is the key to his family's ability to control their inner fire so easily, and so it is called Igniter's Bane. However, this sword is not used very often, as he is known to use his bestial form to fight more often than not.

Tsunoii looked over the landscape from atop one of the particularly steep rocky formations in the Southern Crags. The wasteland before him was more than it seemed. Tsunoii could sense the area just brimming with fiery Envira.
Tsunoii sensed something else as well; auras, and they were no necromancers. In fact, the amount of corruption in each of them was minute. He had come to this area out of sheer curiosity, on leave from Demonic duties, and so smiled at the thought of impending battle.
Tsunoii put his hand forward, pointed toward the Ashen Center. The volcanic aura resting in the land reacted to Tsunoii's elemental call. As a beacon to the others he sensed, he infused his Elemental Magic with Shadow Casting. Suddenly, pillars of fire and darkness shot out of the barren, black ground in the middle of the area. They rose high into the sky, easy to see from any part of the wasteland. Then, Tsunoii jumped off of the crag, walking toward the Ashen Center and whoever would meet him there.

The warrior-shaman was on his knees in a ritualistic manner, head bowed to a great hill of ash which occasionally vented hot air. His armor was chilled with an icy enchantment to guard him against the intense heats emanating from his volcanic surroundings.
A sudden darkness in the land's aura jolted Ulrog from his trance in the Eastern Hills. He stood and faced a dark pillar of flames which licked the smoke-filled clouds above. It was easy for him to spot the perpetrator, a white-eyed Abyssial with the smell of corruption about him.
He said something under his breath in a Denesmieran tongue as he drew his sword whose blade turned a darker grey as he held it in his hand. Ulrog began his descent into the Ashen Center, Igniter's Bane in hand.
"You who would defile the very Envira of this land with the stench of demonic treachery: state your business," Ulrog bellowed to be heard above the sound of intermittent vents of heat around them.

Purging the area from corruption of necromancy, slaying undead in a wake of glorious light, Vallious exiled the currption of the wastelands at every opportunity. After his last smiting he took a minute on a large rock to pray for greatness in all forms!
just then he felt a powerful surge of aura through his spine, clouding his vision with seraphism and demonism waging war. Through his vision he felt a calling and so he stood rejuvenated, eager for the next battle with corruption! Just then a an impressive pillar of darkness arose into the sky over a mountainous wall 50ft tall.
With his wings and halo shining ever so brightly, he held his arms to the sky and in a burst of light 7' bird wings span out in each direction. with the risen soul's aura so brilliantly alight, Vallious soared off to the sky and over the wall. Without perceiving the large primordial, Vallious centered on the dark figure emanating darkness. without a moments hesitation he glided in for an impaling strike on the abyssial!

Keeping a keen sense on both of the auras, he noticed that they both were coming to meet him. First came the aura from the east. As Tsunoii turned his head, bringing a large, scraggly Saven into view, he heard the hulking man call to him:
"You who would defile the very Envira of this land with the stench of demonic treachery: state your business,"
Tsunoii just grinned his metaphysical grin, though the Saven would not perceive it. Before he could execute his plan, Tsunoii sensed the other aura coming at him fast.
The Abyssial whirled about, bringing himself behind a small rock formation just large enough to cover his head. This hid him from the Saven, at least, by sight; he knew from the power of the opponent's aura that the Saven would be able to sense him magically.
From his new position, he could see the owner of the second aura. A fully-armored Risen Soul, with one set of light wings and one set of white, feathered wings, flew down at him with his sword poised to stab.
Not even a hello? Tsunoii thought. But what do you expect from Seraphics?
Tsunoii decided to take the aggressive. As the Risen Soul flew closer, Tsunoii leapt to meet him in the sky, drawing his Odachi in a split second and using it to clash with the opponent's sword. He then used his magic to call forth a pillar of flame and darkness right under the Seraphic. This extensive use of magic made his aura weaken, and he would not be able to cast effectively until his aura recharged, but the pillar was sizable and would deal a good amount of damage if it hit.

When there was no response, Ulrog almost barked once more to get the Abyssial's attention. Then he saw the reason: a dive-bombing Seraphic. Although aura corruption did not always define one as such, the combination of the vastness if the Abyssial's impurity and this Seraphic automatically jumping to an aggressive action told the warrior-shaman that he was an agent of Exilus.
Under most circumstances, this would be the part where Ulrog would charge into battle against the demonic foe with an ally. However, this 'ally' was a Seraphic, and so he would stand by and let their fight wage on instead. If the victor would be the Abyssial, he would not live long after. If the Risen Soul decided Ulrog to be his next foe, he would meet the challenge without pause.
For now, he set up a barrier of Envira around him to protect against any under-handed attacks either of them might send his way. His skin became a metallic grey like his darkened blade, and let off a thin haze of cerulean aura.

Sensing impending danger from the Abyssial, the Seraphic leapt backwards through the air and putting up a formidable shield of light. just then a huge pillar of darkness arose from the ground and slammed against the aura around Vallious sending him crashing into the stone wall, dust and debris flies up around the crash, light still emanating through the dust, lightning it up brilliantly golden. then the shroud of dust dispersed as Vallious held his sword to the sky, imbuing his bastard sword with righteous light that struck fear in the hearts of the wicked! once the blade was fully enveloped, Vallious took flight once more to pierce the darkness in the abyssial!

Tobyx was on the Eastern Hills surveying the volcanic surroundings when she heard a shout. Soon after there was a blinding white light that seemed as if it came from the heavens. She quickly looked for the source of the light and found that a Seraphic and Abyssial were fighting. "But who shouted it wasn't either of them." she pondered. After re looking over the field she saw another person, and she could sense that he was a primordial. "So this puny little primordial was the one shouting, very well I will give him the attention he so desperately desires." She swiftly pulled out her twin linked pistols and cautiously ducked behind cover when she was in shooting range. "With his back to me he is dead for sure." She fired with precision and accuracy.

Tsunoii was impressed by the Seraphic's lighting quick response. With no possible knowledge that the Abyssial would use a flaming pillar, it was almost miraculous that his opponent knew exactly how to guard against it. Tsunoii brushed it off as a stroke of luck, of course, until the Seraphic recovered immediately, cast yet another spell to envelop his sword in light, then jumped right back into the sky at Tsunoii. All of this without showing even a trace of Aura Overdraw.
This was not his day.
What?! Tsunoii thought abruptly, almost saying it aloud. There's another aura? His head turned to look over his shoulder, revealing a Fabrilian Woman who was firing at the Saven. At least he would not be attacked on two fronts.
The Seraphic! Tsunoii remembered, as he whirled about just in time to see a sword of light aimed at his face. He was only barely able to bring up his parrying shield, which broke against the impact, but deflected the attack so it merely sliced Tsunoii's cheek. Tsunoii then decided to ground himself, as the Primordial was no longer a problem, and his Aura would recharge quicker the closer he was to the land's fiery Envira. He allowed himself to fall to the hot, ashen earth below him.
Tsunoii was going to play an evasive game until his Aura recharged. He ducked into a group of rock formations, focusing on drawing from the land around him and keeping a feel of the Seraphic's Aura so he would not be ambushed.

He saw his aura membrane flare up and a light impact hit his back. The warrior-shaman had not been paying attention to his surroundings, having focused on the two combatants before him, and so did not sense the approach of another. Ulrog swiftly turned around and saw the glint of metal behind rock.
The Saven threw his sword to the ground so it stuck out by the blade and crossed his arms in front of him. A low rumbling sound could be heard as his arms began to tremble, almost making it look like he was trying to tear them off by the biceps. He then made a swift, horizontal stroke with both arms in unison. A circle of ground, five meters in diameter, shattered beneath his attacker as if an earthquake had spontaneously, and very swiftly, struck.
Ulrog then picked up his sword under-handed, flipping it about so it felt correct in his hands, and then approached his attempted-assailant.

Vallious landed to a slide from the speed involved from his flight. Aura seething from Vallious, he felt his aura drained but his spirit invigorated from glorious battle! he put his shield away to better handle his bastard sword with two hands. With the switch he walked towards the hidden abbyssial.
"My blade will be what purges you of this land you demonic coward!" called Vallious, holding his blade high

Tsunoii sensed the Seraphic draw closer. The opponent walked, not charged, most likely wary of some surprise attack. As the Abyssial was debating the best course of action, he heard:
"My blade will be what purges you of this land you demonic coward!"
So chivalrous, calling names! Tsunoii thought, as he smiled widely. He'll switch from calling "coward" to calling "help" soon! Then he thought of a particularly funny plan that would both buy him time and presumably upset the Seraphic. He listened, sensed, as his enemy drew near; just as the opponent was about to round the rock and see him, Tsunoii leapt out, using his sword to kick up some ash into cloud. He then landed behind another rock formation, and dashed about 60' away, using the small crags as cover while his enemy was distracted, if not blinded. He continued drawing Envira from the land at an alarming rate, finally recharging his Aura so he could cast again.
"There," Tsunoii said quietly, as he stepped out from behind the rocks and surveyed the area to try and spot the Seraphic.
