Welcome...can I call you Sir? I already know a Stick on here. We're glad to have you. I'll add you to the OP.

BoS, if you decide to leave, I won't stop you. We'll miss you.

Ax, I've added your profile, thanks!

It's Ax's character; if he wants to write a transgender character, he's allowed to. If you have a problem with that, you could pretend Axl is completely male and ignore the part of his backstory before that. If you want to discuss gender identities and/or sexuality, let's do it in a PM.

Speaking of genders, I'm female.

It's fine! Happens all the time. Can I call you Sir, then? Or would you prefer something else? SSOTS, etc.?

I have to agree with Axe and Jaywalk. Stop being so sensitive! Better to accept it now then later.

That is true. And so I will, I suppose.

I honestly really want to do this RP. But I am having a problem with tone, I want to be the villain. But the story isn’t meant for Revel, and I don’t want to force it that way.

Thank you, good sir.

Edit: BoS, we already have villains. Voidbringers. This RP, however, is about the characters themselves, not the antagonization they receive from the environment they live in and the world around them.

Funny, coming from the person who didn’t like my character in the first place. I was being ingored anyway so it doesn’t matter…

It wasn't the character. It was the setting she came from. Depending on how they are used, characters like that have been my favorite. Just make sure you don't invite my old DM because he would probably try to summon a god to kill you off solely because "you were to edgy, man".

If you want to write a character whose spren isn't a good guy, you're fine to do that. The story is for everyone, including Revel.

Xino, you wanna talk about this in a PM? With just me, or can I invite others?

"Sure."

She grinned, removed her socks for better footing and bounced a few times. They hadn't warmed up, but then she doubted she'd have that time in a real fight either. Stepping up in front of him she bowed out of habit and then lifted her hands in a defensive stance, covering part of her upper body and face. Her eyes left his face, focused on a point on his breast bone.

Taking another deep breath she inhaled some stormlight and then attacked him with a straight blow to his face. No need to go all out with the first attack. She used the stormlight to enhance her speed, while carefully checking her distance. If she hit she'd hopefully bruise not break his bones. They were sparring after all.

Rob inhales some stormlight and strode forward taking the blow without dodge. It burned, but he didn’t show it on his face.

Stomping on the ground he tried turning the ground in front of him liquid, and ripped a part of his sleeve off.

Shana stepped forward, ready to go on until he started to defend himself, when he stomped on the ground. And her foot touched nothing. Solid ground gave way when she stepped on it, a cool liquid touching her toes. With a scream she threw herself to the side, away from the pool of stone, fear erasing everything else. She tumbled to the ground, instictively made a role to stop her fall and got back to her feet. Deliberatly she took another breath, forced herself to concentrate despite the fast beating of her heart, the slight shaking of her fingers. She could do this. She had to be strong. With a grim smile she mentally touched his shoelaces and cut them almost apart, until only a single thread held them in place.

Rob saw Shana move to the side and walked that way, until he tripped over the sudden looseness of his shoes and barely dodged landing in the liquid stone. Solidifying it, he turned and used tension on the ripped piece of sleeve he held, hardening it to almost rock-strength and throwing it to her like a knife.

Shana ran towards him, accepted that his sleeve hit her arm, to cover as much distance between them as possible. She gasped in pain when it drew blood, falling to the ground next to her. Still she kept her focus and mentally reached out for his shoes, attempted to slicken their undersides. Hopefully that would through him off balance when he moved again. Then she lifted her leg, kicked straight at him, aiming for his stomach.

The kick landed and Rob took a steadying breath grabbing into her leg and trying to flip her over before slipping and landing on his back painfully. “Philosophy’s getting tougher,” he absent-mindedly noted, thumping the ground and liquefying the area around him, including where he was now.

Slowly he began to sink, and he reached out for Shana’s leg, and tried to pull her in with him.

His hand grabbed her leg and he pulled her towards him, her leg slipping over solid ground until she felt the liquid encasing her leg, pulling her down, deeper down. Shana screamed, tried to hold on to something, anything, but the ground was even and he was stronger than she. Fear clenched her heart in its merciless grasp and - Water closing over her face, hands flailing wildly -

"Your leg, now."

Mahad shouted and she inhaled more stormlight slicked her leg, pulled again, but still he held her. Unsurprisingly as her control over her surges was mediocre at best. She was sinking, slowly, but she was sinking. With another scream she lunged towards him, clawed at his face with her nails.

The scratches made long, red marks down Rob’s and abruptly he thumped the liquid, instantly making it solid again, trapping him and Shana in its stone grasp. He took a moment, breathing, his face burned like hell but his face remained cold, showing his pain was bad. The pain flared and Rob clenched his teeth and then it slowly subsided.

Reaching over he tried to control how much he liquified, only making the area he was in liquid. Slowly he crawled out of the ground and made it solid again. He sat down. “That was good,” he said, hiding any tremble that might have slipped through.

A relieved sob escaped her lips when she stopped sinking, when her hands touched the stone again. She wiped at her cheeks, only now realizing that she'd started crying, her hands leaving dirty streaks behind. Now that she calmed down her arm hurt and she winced, before holding it close to her chest. He crawled out, left her behind and she realized he would have to change the stone again for her to get out as well. The thought alone was enough to make her sick.

"Just leave me here."

She told him weakly, tried to turn her face away, but wasn't able to move enough. Instead she looked down at the ground.

Rob looked to Shana, and sat next to her, cross-legged. “No. You would break out using Division then. And then Doc would have to come down and fix the stones, which would be an inconvenience.”

He looked closer when he saw she was crying. Rob understood sadness. He’d felt it on occassion. Never showed it. He guessed it must have been his father’s drills: men didn’t cry.

It had been so long he’d almost felt disconnected from the emotion itself. Slowly he rested a hand on the stone near Shana. “I didn’t know you were afraid of water,” he said.

"My parents drowned."

She told him, her voice shaking.

"I don't remember much, only the screams, sinking, water pressing on my face - I."

Shaking her head she stopped.

"You couldn't know, don't worry."

After taking a deep breath she forced herself to smile at him, to show him that she wasn't angry, that it was alright.

"I need to get past this, it's my job to fight for them. To make sure they are safe."

She said loudly, but the words were for Mahad, not for Rob and partially they were for herself.

"And now?"

She asked Rob, looking at him again.
