  1. I've been toying with the idea of creating a game (or rather a visual novel) based on the series and I was wondering some things. I suppose the first question would be; Can I? For example, it would be based in a PSW and all the characters' names would be changed, of course. I wanted to base it on a character I've used for years in various roleplay settings, although that itself is based on a couple of the names from the actual series kind of. Toram Eldin. Toram Riatin is where I got the first name, and the Eldin part was from a couple of people from Emond's field. 

     

    I wouldn't be selling it at all, merely accepting donations and the like on patreon or some other similar service. There would also be a disclaimer right at the beginning that I'm not affiliated with the copyright holders in any way.

     

    Also, would I be able to use city/nation names or would I need to change that? The same goes for saidin/saidar, one power, etc. And would the old tongue be able to be used in it?

  2. Tell you what Arath, when I have a chance to write it up I'll post it. Where are we in terms of the books? I mean like Saidin being cleansed, Rand going "dark" and all those good things.

     

    And Jask, I don't particularily remember the sn. Who is/was your character?

  3. Hey there everyone! I have a quick question. Who remembers me? I played Toram Eldin here back in '08, maybe as late as '09. He made it to Dedicated of the Black Tower (by the skin of his teeth lol). But really, is Tai and Arath still around? I also remember Covai but didn't interact with him that much. So..... other than do people remember me I want to ask, who are now the powers that be? Say for example I wanted to "kill" Toram, could I possibly start as another Dedicated or what? You guys (I mean that in a general sense ladies XD), would not believe how much I missed rp'ing here. At one time I thought that 250+ words per post was difficult for me. Lately I have been dying to have a comprehensible rp. Also, I would say that my rp'ing skills have improved somewhat. At least as far as little piddly ass rp's count lol.

  4. Thanks to the help of Matalina and Tai I can now post again. I just needed to know the bbcode for bold, and italics. Don't know why I didn't think of it before... Anyways I'm ready to get back to rping. I think I'm unofficially a Dedicated now.

  5. Well I have been unofficialy approved for Dedicated. So if your talent can mess with my insanely high fire attribute (9 at full str), then I would be happy to help you. By the way what is your Talent?

  6. Well it appears that I'm going to be going on a sporadic leave of absence. I no longer have internet at home, and my friends got shut off. So now the only internet I have access to is the library. And thats not just around the corner it's a couple miles away. So I will be getting on here sometimes but not very often. Sorry but I won't be on here enough to do the approaching the boss rp. I wish I could but I can't. So I will do what I can, when I can. Also I know this is technically supposed to be in another board, but I figured I would put it here since the only character I have is at the BT.

  7. OOC: Sorry it took me so long guys but ny internet got shut off the Monday before Christmas. And I just moved back to Flint. Only took 11 hours from Lake City Tennessee.

     

    Toram did as instructed, lifting stone walls into place. Still exhausted from his earlier work, he strained a bit with the walls. Wiping the sweat from his eyes, he strained a little to form the proper weaves. The hardest part of it all was leaving an empty space for the windows and such. Working with Dazar was making it a little easier after a while. Having to use most of his available strength to push up the walls. His coat was soaked in sweat in no time at all. Taking a moment to set the coat down by his feet he rolled up his shirtsleeves. Getting back to work he wiped the sweat from his eyes and continued.

     

    OOC: Sorry for the short post I'm at a friends house on his comp and I have to go.

    EDIT: I added a bit to it.

  8. As Tai showed Toram how to cut the trees and how to form the planks, Toram assumed the void and grabbed ahold of the One Power. Taking just a moment to study the feeling of holding Saidin, Toram thought back to when he first grabbed hold of it and sicked up all over his boots. Now he was able to suppress the feeling of the Taint to where he could use the Source without getting sick, although thinking about it too long would likely make him want to sick up. Actually feeling the raging heat and the freezing cold, Toram was glad he had the void as a buffer to help him in the battle to control Saidin.

     

    Cutting the trees into neat columns for the walls and beams for the roofing, Toram lost himself in the monotony of his task. That wasn't to say he wasn't paying attention. One wrong move with the One Power could destroy not just him but it could level this entire clearing. Maybe much further than that. Making sure he was careful he let himself be absorbed into his work. Working with Saidin was exhilirating, but tiring also. So he wasn't too surprised when he had to wipe sweat from his eyes to be able to see what he was weaving.

     

    After a good while of cutting wood Toram was finally finished. This time instead of using the Power to get a drink Toram just kneeled down and used his hands to lift water to his mouth. He didn't know if he could channel enough to fill a cup right now. Looking around at Dazar to see how he was doing Toram seen that he was progressing really well. Then his head jerked back to where Tai was sitting. On a throne of fire! How is he doing that without burning his backside to a crisp? Then he looked closer and seen the Air and Spirit within the Fire weave. That was very clever. Studying it closely Toram thought maybe he could do it if he could have seen the beggining of the weave. Not realizing it while looking at Tai and his new chair, Toram's mouth hung open in amazement. Then he shut it with a loud clack.

  9. When Dazar came crashing into the clearing Toram noticed right away that the man had a silver sword pin on his collar. Congratulations would have to wait until later when they were done. Noticing the smile that the man gave him Toram smiled back in a friendly way.

     

    Going over to Tai as he had told them to, Toram watched what he did and memorized the weaves. So that's how you melt the snow under your feet, Toram mused. He had seen the results of other people using it but hadn't seen the weave begin for himself. As Tai pushed a wall of fire accross the clearing to rid it of the snow, Toram glanced at Dazar, "Congratulations on the pin."

     

    "Today you will be training with Saidin, we are going to create a shelter here for times like this when we are training." Following Tai Toram was already assuming the void but waited for the moment before he took hold of the One Power. "I want you to use flows of Air to strip the trees of branches, fell them,  and stack them over there." Great. Air, my weakest element. Thinking quickly Toram thought of just what flows to use for the cutting of the trees and then lifting them over to the other side of the pond. Grabbing ahold of Saidin Toram started in on his job. Using air weaves that were folded and compressed he sliced the branches off of the tree then cut the tree itself near the bottom of the tree trunk to get as much usable wood as possible, he then caught and guided the tree to the ground away from the other two with more flows of air until it was settled down over where Tai had indicated.

     

    Working with his weakest element on the scale that he was, he got tired out pretty fast. But in the void it was another man's weariness and fatigue. Toram could feel te sweat on his face but it didn't matter, all that mattered was doing the job at hand. Concentrating as hard as he could he could almost see the weaves in place before he started to use them. Before he even looked at the tree he was going to cut. Thinking this just some side effect of being tired he neglected to mention it to his teacher.

     

    Once Toram had cleared a roughly 25 by 10 foot area he rested for a bit breaking the ice on the surface of the pond with Air and using Water to bring up a little fountain for him to drink from. Once the water coursed down his throat he let go of the void and Saidin catching his breath and looking at how far along the others were coming.

  10. OOC: Sorry you guys I thought that since no one had said anything that we were done with this or something. I don't know much about these things, I'm new to rping.

     

    Once Covai had taught them about the game for a little while, he challenged both Toram and Ze'el to a game. Both at the same time, on two different boards. After one game Toram was about ready to give up, but wouldn't be able to live with himself after disrespecting himself in front of the others, especially the Storm Leader. And there was one important thing that the Storm Leader forgot. You can capture more than one stone. Maybe he had neglected to mention it or maybe he just forgot or something, but it put Toram at a severe disadvantage in that first game.

     

    For the next game Toram was still decimated. But not quite as badly this time due to Covai's tips along the way. This time he learned a couple more things, like don't worry too much about seeking out the opponents stones, try to take more territory than the other person also. And there was the fact that you had to sometimes sacrifice some stones in order to let some others get an advantage.

     

    After a few more games Toram didn't notice much of a difference in his playing. He actually at one point thought he was getting worse, but then some turn of fate had him place a stone at apparently just the right spot because Covai had backed off for a second and seemed to actually think about a move. He learned a few tips and maneuvers that night but didn't think he would be playing stones too often. And going on what he had thought earlier in the night he wouldn't be a great battle leader either.

  11.   Toram tried to hurry from his class of Basic Saidin Weaving, so that he wouldn't be late to help Tai with this little project of his. Once he entered the forest he wove a air dome around him to protect him from the branches and things of the forest. It wouldn't do to show up to his mentor looking like he had gotten into a fight with a cat. Since Tai had given him the sword (the Sword of Roses Toram called it in his mind), Toram had practiced with it every day and cared for it every night. Jogging through the snow and trees Toram soon reached the clearing where Tai was waiting for him and Dazar. Dazar was the man who he has seen practicing that one day with Tai when Toram had gotten the sword. And he hadn't seen much of him since then.

     

    Walking into the clearing Toram went over by Tai and studied his teacher for a moment before saying, "I guess that we are still waiting for Dazar?" Well he should be here soon enough. Thinking back to that day Toram was wondering if he really had seen some look of aggresion on Dazar's face or it was just his imagination. He hoped it was the second one. Toram didn't want to have problems with anyone here.
