Surprise paypal donation from yours truly! Happy new years folks.

I finally got Lain's profile up! I was initially thinking of him as being a farmhand as his backstory profession, but then he gradually morphed into an enchanter with a touch of alchemist. But definitely a novice, so as not to overshadow Fiska and maybe foster interaction if she sees Lain trying alchemy but speeding towards a horrible mistake I'd like to draw out and color up a bust image of Lain rather than use a screenshot, hence why there's no image for him right now. But for now, it's time to make a post and get the would-be enchanter into The Tavern! ... Now I kind of want to detail out that Elena figure I made up for the backstory even though I JUST finished Lain. Must resist, must resist.

(Images - WIP) Type: Main Player Character Character Name: Lain Goldmoth Age: 19 Race: Breton Occupation(s): Enchanter, novice alchemist. Guardian Stone: The Steed Alignment: True Neutral Mount: Roca, a grullo mare that (mostly) can't be bothered with life's problems. Takes time to wake up and get rolling, but is steady even in the face of danger. Unless it involves cats (Khajiit not included.) Physical Attributes: At 5'6'' (1.67m) in height and with a slim figure, Lain is about as unimposing as one could be without being non-existent. Moderately long, blonde hair stretches down to his shoulders. Life on the road has rapidly made him a more toned figure and toned down the androgynous element, but even so he could still be mistaken for a girl if seen without a clear view of his face. Equipment: Steel Dagger, Shortbow & steel arrows. The dagger is enchanted with freezing properties - the struck limb or other bodypart behaves as though it has been submerged in freezing water. Spell(s): Candlelight – it wont light more than a meter around him, but Lain can provide a light for a short while without needing to consume a torch. Or risk roasting someone. Flames – It's not a very big fireball, but it's fire all the same. Sparks – BZZZZZZZZZZZT! Backstory: Lain has not had much opportunity to more deeply understand the world or himself until recently. Most of his short life has been spent as effectively a house servant, taking care of the homes of people far above him on the social totem pole to help keep a roof over his family's head. Being a house servant had its perks; Lain passively absorbed a lot of information and was even directly taught things once in a while, most especially by childhood friend Elena, teaching him what it took to become a functional practitioner of enchanting and to a lesser extent alchemy. Ultimately it led him being able to purchase the horse, Roca, from Elena's family and let him set off to find his own way, becoming something of a wandering enchanter while trying to accrue enough coinage to settle down properly. Personality: Softspoken and gentle, Lain is always ready to help and to make a friend. It is tempered primarily by having a sixth sense about people, though it is not something he consciously understands and his better judgment can be led astray by group consensus. Seemingly at odds with this ability to read people's motives is a tendency to read people's statements at face value out of unawareness of deeper subtexts and meanings. It's not crippling, and he will usually pick up on it if the secondary meaning has to do with emotion, but a would be skooma dealer will be left dismayed trying to sucker in this idiot. While Lain will readily spring to action for others, be it socially or in battle, he has trouble standing up for himself against other people. Special Powers/Weaknesses: The Steed – Lain can carry half his own weight in stuff without being slowed down. Carrying the mass of a person will take its toll, but he can still cover considerable ground before succumbing. Dragonskin – In his moments of greatest need, Lain may suffer the blow of the most lethal spells and survive unscathed. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, indeed. Additional Images:

So life goes! Just finished reading the entries. I'd like to at least have Lain's profile up this weekend.

WHOA GEE Tavern Tales is still going! I remember when I was still a much more naive creature trying to participate. Last time I was active enough to have any kind of presence here it was about 5-6 years ago. I'm interested, taking a look at who the roster is & figuring out a character that will complement. EDIT: Just caught up with all that's happened in the Story thread, looks like I discovered the Morrowind edition at the best time.

Yikes, well, life sure did command my attention somethin' fierce! My semester is, however, nearing a close, and I'm actually over the greatest hurdle as far as workload is concerned. I definitely have breathing room to do things now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7nzml-zZ9M. At the moment only barely, but it's alive! That being said, I am interested in returning! I have two characters I might want to bring onboard at some point, one being Lain Goldmoth (DarkRider may recognize this name, but in the two years since the name was first spoken the character has made great leaps and bounds into a creature who is defined by his gentle and agreeable nature. Always trying to bring people together and be there for who or whatever it may be), and the other being a more recent character of mine known as Jonquil (as far as talents go, a natural acrobat mixed with a musician with a knack for wind instruments. Her personality meanwhile is casual and friendly, hard pressed to call anyone a monster having seen what those are, though she has a somewhat skeptical and cynical edge to her.) I don't dare try and introduce both at once though! Wont be making that mistake twice, my experience has been that it results in both characters fighting for narrative attention. As far as who would actually see introduction in the Tavern first, Lain Goldmoth is my pick because of his whole "Heart is an awesome power!" schtick, I think that would bring an immediately unique dynamic that's still compatible with the Tavern. Can't churn out a character sheet today unfortunately as life's burdens command my attention, but I'd like to get something in within the week.

I should pass this around to the other moderators I cooperate with on the Primal Carnage forums, and if you guys had talked to me yesterday I probably would've sounded like a as I raged while using windows movie maker in an act of desperation. That being said, today's been an exciting day for me as I finally made my debut on Project Crynosaurs as the sound designer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc_eOyPegJ0

I'll definitely be adding Druid Gameworks to my list of regular places to visit!

It's been waaay too long since I last stopped into the Lurker's Lair to say something... ahmaghad, something's eating me! I got two ugly looking big mosquito bites on my arm. >_< In more substantial news, in the past few months I've been getting into the world of sound design, mostly playing with creature effects for now, but soon , I shall have all the colors of the rainbow to play with. Also been getting into Dota 2, finally starting to pick up on Guild Wars 2 after preording it 250 years ago (done being grumpy about the changes from 1st to 2nd game, in other words... ok, maybe still a smidge.) Also been playing Diablo 2 of all things as of late. O_o Today I got to hold a kingsnake while volunteering at the Institute of Marine Mammal Research, in addition to my usual adventures in handfeeding sharks, cownose rays, and stingrays. Also, I entered the lair of the dragon. I came out with this. It's Daku, she says hi.

Look, a post from the Jelly Bean! Made this picture a few hours ago. The Demon Made to the tune of
