Blackguard Reborn

No rush, Viox. Whenever you get a chance. Just mostly laying out all the stories I got going so I know what's where and a timeline for it all. I look forward to what you have in mind.

But that works, Ifrit. I'll probably throw up a post sometime tonight or tomorrow to get things rolling there.

Oh, I wonder if Luxeria will be used as the template for determining elevation trough the ranks. The tests used to raise them to Sith Warrior, then establishing that in order to rise to the rank of Master, one must face and defeat their old master in order to hold up some of the old traditions of the Baninte Sith. The only difference being that one is not to kill their master unless told ahead of time by the Sith’ari. Then, as a final test, one must face the Sith’ari himself to fully determine whether or not they are worthy of the rank.

For those who rise to attempt that rank but had no master, either someone assigned to the task or a selected master by the Sith’ari will be used instead.

It’ll be a mixture of both. Luxeria will initiate the challenge though Gavin would have been waiting until the right time to test her due to the difference in their location, time it takes to fully train her, and time enough to grow and become stronger from his lessons. His students are a definite. Nidana will depend on if she chooses to stick with the class and the extra training he gives her.

Decided to make an account for twelve of the fifteen students under Gavin. With the effort I’m putting into the classes, I decided to make them secondary characters instead of NPCs. The three missing is Nidana, of course, and the two that Viox has his eyes on. I’ll play them from this account as well though until Viox decides he wants to take them over or chooses otherwise.

Still not sure on a proper name for the profile though. That name makes it seem like the Blackguard’s chosen twelve, lol.

Also, please look the list of species chosen and let me know if it is likely that race would be in the academy or not. Might make changes as I go if I find a different race I prefer

Well, thank you. I just try to write something worth while and worth reading.

The best i can say to help is simply to put yourself into the character. Become part of the situation, think as the character thinks and write what comes to mind. Thoughts of the moment, the feelings of what’s happening/what was said, the respones, let it be more than simple words that come to mind to make a post. Be the character. Some posts will be direct and short, having nothing to really give them substances. But other times, think about word play and how to make things seem a bit more in each post. It can be short or long, doesn’t matter. But the biggest thing I can say is be the character and grasp everything that’s going on, how it ties to the past, the future, and the moment. If you compared this to some things I wrote for a book, it would seem very different because of that simple fact.

So, I have a question. With Gavin teaching and the plan of having the Blackguard Twelve make the choice staying students of Gavin even when they'd be considered ready for advanced courses just because they'd rather stick with him until needing to train under others for particular skills. One of the training sessions/trials I had in mind is a hunt style approach. Through Gavin's approach to training apprentices, he has them training on different terrains to strengthen them further, which will be done eventually, but since this is a group, he'll be adding a new touch. Following the idea the Hunger game arenas, Gavin would drop each student in separate locations without their knowledge(while sleeping or something) so not to know the direction of anyone. In starting sessions, once awake, he'd give them the task, which typically is hunting one of the students and defeating them. Eventually, as they become stronger, he'll pit them all against himself.

The question I have is there a place the Blackguard would create this kind of setting, either on one occupied world, or even many to change up terrains. I could just drop them off on a world a go from there, but without the range of a designated arena, it ultimately leaves a whole planet to wander searching for the target, despite being only a couple miles away. Can also be used for other purposes as well: hunting and tracking exercises against prisoners, another form of entertainment of watching prisoners fight each other in a drawn out way instead of straight battle to the death, or even survival exercises against powerful beasts.
