And by the smell of things in in my place, dinner's not too long from being done.

EDIT: Gotta go. Dinner.

**Vilkas** Sun Aug 12, 2012 7:42 am

I hope you can get on later. If not, well I guess I can add to the Merb race

evan..relic Sun Aug 12, 2012 10:07 am

AND...I'm back to an empty forum...

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 1:11 am

So alone

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:01 am

Ugh, I have a character concept I've been wanting to try, and University *may* be the place to put him...

But, on the other hand, he likely wouldn't fit in. I guess while he would be fun to RP as, I have to make sure he fits in with the RP first.

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:10 am

Want some help?

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:25 am

Ehm, yeah, I suppose so.

Gimme some time to write up a rough character sketch/character idea, then I'll PM it to you.

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:27 am

ok

I just realized, I've been spending so much time explaining the Merb race that I completely forgot that I need to explain The Dark Lands X3

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:35 am

Heh, reminds me of when I was generating Hellfire. Wasn't enough to just explain demons, I had to explain the Abyss.

Then the origins of the Abyss, the first demons, several bits of demonic legends, Abyssal technology, Abyssal creation myths, and so on XD

*writergasm* 0.0 So much to write X3

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:02 am

Heh, that should be fun.

Oh, and now officially begins my 1 week of mostly solitude, as my mother's off on a yoga trip in the states. She won't be coming back until Saturday/Sunday, so I'm alone in the house.

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:04 am

I hit writers block DX

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:10 am

Awww~...

Ah well, it'll come back to you soon enough. Try re-reading all the stuff you have thus far, see if you can add anything to it, might get the metaphorical snowball rolling again.

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:14 am

This is what I got

Race Info: Merbs are a race of green or brown skinned, humanoid beings who inhabit The Dark Lands to the east. They were 'saved' by the humans long ago, but in return for the 'favor' the Merbs were forced into slavery. It is common place to see Merbs scurrying around in large cities, usually doing some errand for their masters.

Merbs are taller than humans with long necks, long pointed ears and varying hues of green or brown skin with large speckles on their shoulders. They have only three fingers and a thumb on each of their two hands, and only three toes on their two feet. Their eyeballs have a white hue to them, and their pupils themselves are naught but small black dots. The difference between males and females(excluding the obvious) is that males have a lion-like tail where females lack this and instead have moth-like wings. Most masters will cut off Merbs tails and wings(much like how people used to cut dobermans ears to points) out of preference(males tails) or to keep them from escaping(females wings). If a male keeps his tail it usually has some form of piercing or gold band, simply for show.

Merbs also possess astounding strength, able to send humans over half an acre away with a single kick. No one understands why, with all their strength, Merbs serve humans still.

Though humans view Merbs as idiots they are an intelligent and resourceful race. They also have a stronger stomach than other races, able to eat food lethal to most humans. Merbs are able to see in full color and have excellent night vision. Lark is the only Merb to have a dull yellow hue to his eyes, he also has a darker skin color.

Merbs do not show a particular racial culture. Once a year, all Merbs are required to complete some form of community service, which could be potentially anything. Piercings may be part of the Merb culture, despite the fact that they could pose a "health hazard" to the extremely paranoid race.

Merbs name themselves after birds for unknown reasons. They are very reluctant to share their culture with other races. It has been theorized by humans that they name themselves after birds because of their ability to jump 20 times their own height, as if they are taking flight.

Merbs have become solitary people, never trying to befriend others for fear of the others death or betrayal. They are characterized by their cowardice, but should you befriend a Merb know that you are well protected. Any who dare harm a Merb's friend will soon learn the cunning and cruelty Merb have learned in The Dark Lands.

No Merb has ever been a Dragonborn.

The Dark Lands: As the name implies, The Dark Lands are, well, dark. The nights are long, the days are short, and the sky is blotted out by the gnarled branches of the trees of the forest that covers the land. All creatures in The Dark Lands are ferocious, carnivorous, and skilled hunters.

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:20 am

Well, if you're stuck, you would start writing about the other creatures in the Dark Lands, some landmarks in that area, or stuff like that. Adding to the Dark Lands might help you keep the ball rolling.

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:29 am

I think I'm also having trouble because I'm still working on Lark in my head. I'm so excited about writing all this that I can't get it down XD

Lark, the first Merb Dragonborn

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:30 am

Heh...yeah, that always screwed me up too.

In order to build up on Hellfire, I had to build up the Abyss, but in order to build up the Abyss I had to make sure it worked in conjunction with Hellfire. It was tricky, but I got it to work...somehow.

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:49 am

I actually took the Merb race from a tv show. There was little info, so it was perfect for me(I like building races, but can never make them look or sound good)

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 4:00 am

I technically built mine as well. I mean, demons are bloody EVERYWHERE!

I just chose to make my own ones, that's all.

Right now I'm reading through Uni, seeing where everyone's at before I make a first post, if any post.

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 4:04 am

Now probably wouldn't be the best time. Lotsa shit happening

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 4:10 am

I noticed XD

I can wait, though.

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 4:18 am

bfhgkfhgbldghhlhggbhuith I wanna introduce Lark, I'm too excited X3

The Family God Mon Aug 13, 2012 4:43 am

Just did quite a bit of research on Fencing so I could at least make it SEEM like I know what I'm writing for Christopher...now I want to try it out >__<

Ah well, slow day is slow right now. May zone out in a game in a few.

**Erika** Mon Aug 13, 2012 9:06 am

FUCKING HELL!!!!! Is this the day that almost everyone decides to piss me off, or that almost everyone is pissed off with me? I want to play D&D too. It's not my fault that the dates where its going to be around, are the dates that i am busy, and cant get out of the activities that i am signed up for. I am getting sick and tired or people hanging up the phone on me, and not even answering their phone, or answering very rudely. What the hell have I done to warrant this behaviour done to me? What have I done to get people pissed with me? Like, fuck.

**Erika** Mon Aug 13, 2012 9:26 am

Daniel is being an asshole with me. He has scheduled D&D on dates he knows I can't make, cause I am busy with mom on her vacatoin week, my driving lessons, and rainbow. he keeps hanging up on me. i dont know why he is pissed with me.

**Erika** Mon Aug 13, 2012 9:44 am

**Vilkas** Mon Aug 13, 2012 9:52 am

night

evan..relic Mon Aug 13, 2012 10:01 am

I didn't know about those dates, if she had told me, I would have found a way to accommodate her.
