  1. Mehrin? Did you mean Emrin?

     

    Ely's stalled on her main Band RP until Arinth gets some respite. Meanwhile she's doing a "filling in a history gap" and "getting to know you" slightly retro RP with Lii's Arya.

     

    Rhya's on semi-hold due to me being lazy. Mid craft fair season for me so busy busy but I will get her next thread with Owen started soon. We have a sort of plan in mind. Owen's coming up against his arch enemy and brother, Bane, once more. Bane is about to kidnap Rhya.

    Watched pitch perfect 3 tonite, just the medicine my tired brain needed after long week 

     

    I love all of the Pitch Perfect films. They're such absolute nonsense, very funny, and so easy to watch. Plus I really like Anna Kendrick, she has a naturally intelligent humour and a fine line in sarcasm.

    Pride and Prejudice isn't my cup of tea, but my wife has watched it many times. (I did enjoy Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but only because it was intended to be a farce, also I'm not trying to be callous about your choice here.) 

     

    I didn't think you were being callous. :smile: I don't read or watch Austen as simply a romance. There's so much else going on in her novels. I appreciate the general subject matter is not everyone's cup of tea though, especially so if they're looking solely for a surface entertainment value.

    As for The box of Delights, I might look into it, but it's not as fun trying to watch things like that as an adult when your children are past the age of enjoying those.

     

    I think it's considerably more fun without adding children into the equation. They just interrupt and eat all the snacks. :tongue:

    Character History
     
    Caldazar al'Aemon was born in Caemlyn to a soldier of Andor, named Carai al'Aemon, and his wife Eldrene. Caldazar's mother died giving birth to her son. His father raised him for a year and a half, until one day, during a training exercise, Carai broke his leg. Carai did not recover from the injury, infection had taken root and he soon died but he made sure that Caldazar had a home. He asked a friend of his to watch over Caldazar. The friend's name was Rogosh; he was a florist.
    Caldazar's earliest memories were of Rogosh and his flower shop. At the age of six, Rogosh took Caldazar aside and told him that his father had left to him a few things. Among them were a large ruby ring and his father's very own sword. The other heirlooms left to Caldazar were a locket of his mother's hair and a banner of Andor. Rogosh had a gentle heart and could not bear anything to happen to the young lad, so he told Caldazar that he must never use the sword. He took the sword from him and locked it away in a great wooden chest that he kept down in the wine cellar.
    Caldazar was not daunted in the least; he would prove that he was his father's son. He went to a old army friend of his father's named Samma, and begged to be his student for months until finally the man agreed. Every day he would have Caldazar practice sword training, using sticks in place of a sword, and he would have Caldazar work moving heavy stones from one place to another and back again, until Caldazar's body was as hard as the stones themselves. Fearing that Rogosh wouldn't approve, Caldazar never told him about his training.
    Each day he made it his goal to learn something new from the library about the tactics of warfare; each day he made it his goal to aim higher, to push harder and to be better then he was the day before. And thus ten years passed for Caldazar. On his sixteenth birthday, Rogosh took Caldazar's father's sword from the chest in the cellar, and told him that it was time for him to start practicing how to use a sword.
    All Caldazar could do was grin...
     

    Note #1: I see some bloodlust in him.... I am thinking that is something that he hates and is trying to change about himself.
    Note #2: I want to take Cal to higher places then he has ever dreamed of. I want him to have moments where he is great and mighty, and I want him to "fight'" his way to the top. I want him to fight himself i.e. the bloodlust thing (internal struggle) and I want him to physically fight his way to the top (external struggle). At the end of it all, I want him to give up the struggles and just be happy that he's alive.
