Norrin Radd's Nerd Rage

PART I/III - Yeah, that's basically how I do it. That can get pretty confusing at times though. That's why I usually end up editing every post ^^.

Well college essays are a chapter of their own. Exactly, we all learn from each other. Even the best can learn new things ^^. I know north isn't really the best place for Qualus but the map is the restriction here. Although if you look the map a bit differently.. Qualus could be north-west and the Nihil Mts. would be the real north.

So "astrum" means dark? Lux and Astrum.. intriguing. Oh and since you so innocently mentioned an old RP of yours, you'll just have to tell me what it was ^^.

Untrusting! Bingo! You said it, that's exactly how it's going to be. Well, at least the original plan is that ^^.

PART III/III
I know he won't disappoint, thus I joined too ^^.

Medicine which made things worse? Were you allergic or something? I can't even imagine how horrible that was. At least the fever isn't so bad anymore.. although the sore throat is getting worse instead.

Yup, I've watched D. Gray Man. The weird thing is it hasn't pulled me in yet. I've only watched a few episodes though so it's not that surprising. Details? Well, sadly I've finished Reborn. It ended so suddenly that I got actually mad.
There's Naruto (and Shippuuden) in which I've also gotten to the "end". I've watched a few episodes of One Piece.. and man is that crazy. There's also Bleach but I've lost interest in it. Naturally there's also Death Note. Full Metal Alchemist is also something that I finished, although I still don't understand why. It never was interesting for me and yet I kept watching it.. weird.
Feel free to recommend me something ^^.

PART II/III - Haha! It's not like I patented this!

Indeed, Terra is the last human in Amn. Whether he will join either side is still pretty open. I'll have to see how the RP will progress and then decide the right course of action ^^. However it is just like you said, humans are portraited evil in Amn too. It's due to their strong ambition and lust for more power. Their ambiguous nature is also something that makes the other species resent them (all the races think they are more "perfect" than humans). Humans are considered more like an unfinished project of nature.

Oh boy, I really got into writing that. I have to stop before I reveal any crucial pieces of information ^^.

What.. ? Riku means "earth"? Geez, Riku is a real finnish name. Never knew it was also "earth". Odd similarities which kinda make sense though.. I think. I remember something that Riku also meant something about being in-between (like darkness and light). I don't remember for sure though.

PART I/III

That's actually a good trait to have. The way that you don't explain everything directly. That way readers have to be more "careful" when reading your posts. I admit that I've also fallen for that ^^. I can remember how you correct me at times ^^.
Okay, I hereby assign the name Qualus to the ocean located in the north of Amn!!
Oh yeah, you mentioned about that "lux". So that means "light".. better remember that ^^. Might come in handy one day.

I want to say it's a kingdom too ^^. Thus, it is a kingdom ^^. Actually, most races in Amn act.. umm.. hostile isn't the right word.. perhaps unfriendly? In any case, they don't welcome outsiders with open arms. Especially the merpeople since they are very independent.

PART II/II - It's not that bad ^^

Then into other things. Looks like Grave is back, did you get his PM? Are you going to join based on that short "teaser"? I'm still thinking about it. I really need to see the whole thing before I can say for sure. But sci-fi is a nice change so perhaps I'll join.

Also, I've been captured by a most terrible thing: fever! Ugh, to be blunt, I feel like sh*t. My throat is sore too. I wish this would go away as soon as possible.
Oh well, I think I'll just do the usual thing and watch anime the whole day . That way my brain will be completely tangled up by the end of the day ^^. Maybe I'll start with Naruto.. or actually maybe I won't. They keep killing the best characters in the series.. not cool. Guess I'll just randomly pick something ^^.

PART I/II
Ah, so that what it was ^^ (the * in the end). True though, Sirum and Raelum do seem to flow together just as you said. Yet Qualus is such an exotic name. I mean, it starts with a Q which is rare. Raelum makes you think of lightning? Haha, perhaps it's because it's similar to Raiden which means lightning.. if I remember right.

That is exactly how I pictured Queen Milra to be. She is one bada** lady who takes orders from no one ^^.

Interesting! There's a lot of similarities into what I came up with. Basically, Chasm of Terra will serve as the center of Amn. Only one person lives there, the last human on Amn: Terra. Why is it the Chasm of Terra then? Certain events caused the whole earth to tore apart, thus creating vast and endless canyons there (trapped by walls of earth so to speak ^^).
And yeah, Terra from KH:BbS is the first thing to come to mind ^^. It's just a nice name and it serves as a referance to Earth ^^.

Don't worry, you're not the only one ^^. Excellent names though! Hmm.. Cero is an awesome name and yet it doesn't fit somehow when thinking about an underwater city. I think I'll choose Sirum as the city's name. Are those with the * symbol in the end the latin ones?
Then about the ocean name.. Hmm, this is a tough one. It will be either Raelum or Qualus, that much I'm sure. Milra, Queen of the Sea! I couldn't possibly have come up with a better name than that. I can already imagine this kind of scene..

"Your Majesty, Queen Milra, someone has entered our sacred domain of Sirum. What do we do?"
"Detain the outsiders at once! No one steps into my kingdom without my permission!"

Then there's something I would like to know.. what are the first things that come into your mind by.. Chasm of Terra.

Have you thought of any names for the ocean and the city in Amn? ^^. Just thought I'd ask since I was also thinking of placing someone by the title of "Queen of the Seas" there. I'm quite bored of the "King of the Seas" title since it's used everywhere so.. queen it is ^^. I'll let you name the queen too if you wish ^^.

!!EDIT!!
On a side note.. the five dragons: Valham(Wind), Faen(Fire), Ik'har(Ice), Arlith(Earth) and Xarxes(Sky) have been born in to the world ^^. The "Sky" element will be explained once the time comes ^^.
Although there's one thing that bothers me.. I'm not sure whether to make a dragon for the water element separately or just have Ik'har act as both. By thinking with logic that would be the way but.. ehh, I'm not exactly a friend of logic on this matter ^^. What would you do?

PART II/II
True, Elizabeth is an excellent source of information for Natalie. Oh? So will Natalie accompany Ethan and Jansen? Or is that also a possibility at this point? Yeah, Elizabeth would be the link between the "outside" world and the prison for Natalie if she ends up in there. That all depends on you of course ^^.

True, it could work the other way around too. Elizabeth would survey how Ethan and Jansen are doing while Natalie is gathering up a group in order to rescue Ethan and Jansen.

If the latter one happened, I think I would create another character. Of course Ethan would be the main one, but the new one would be.. someone.. oooh, ideas are popping up in my head right now. Haha, oh well ^^. Better focus back to Amn.

PART I/II
It certainly is hard but I've endured worse ^^.

Exactly! A multiple ending game, I love those ones. That always gives some nice replay value to a game ^^. Hmm? She comes back as a Reassurer? Now that would be interesting however I doubt Joachim would let her in.. unless she would create a new ID and face for herself ^^. That is a possibility.

I thought about what you said. I bet Joachim would monitor Natalie but it wouldn't be full time monitoring since she had overcome that darkness. Joachim would have to wait for the darkness to overthrow her again. Now why does that sound so much like Kingdom Hearts? .
Anyway, I know what you mean. The fact that she unlocked her Psyche-Form is something to note. Of course Joachim could be secretly trying to test her.. by sending little ol' Thomas for a visit every now and then.
