I will need a diverse group of characters in this plot... for instance, mage, warrior, berserker, lumberjack... etc... But this will be a SERIOUS storyline. I'm going to expect some top rate people on this site to post, because I'm sure they're just waiting to release that creative energy into a worthwhile thread. The storyline is fantastically going to consist of... anything I say as we go along! I am game master and will throw plenty of tough challenges in your way. I suggest you leave the thread now if you a) are not creative, b) do not have a strong enough character, c) can't keep up with a n00b like me. Yeah... I'd be leaving now too. Let's just see if the Elites of this site make their way to the thread, shall we?
*Tano's boots crushed the pine needles and dried leaves on the forest floor. Beams of light radiated through the canopy and fell onto his black coat. It swished along the sides of his legs as he walked along the beautiful wood. His inky pools searched the forest over as though he were seeking something, but not finding it. The twisted black staff served him as a walking stick, and it's blunt end tapped along the tops of small stones and crackled the leaves on its path with Tano through the wood. Tano's pointed ears move as he hears a mockingbird call its song in the distance, it was an adolescent male, Tano guessed. The beginning of mating season for the species was in place, and its loud song split through the forest and traveled its immeasurable distance. Clouds began to cover the suns vital rays, and a dimness enveloped the woodland. Tano halted mid-step and panned the area with his eyes. Something had silenced the mockingbird, and suddenly Tano realized that something was drastically wrong. The woods were filled with the most dangerous and foreboding sound that had ever accompanied it. Silence. Tano felt the danger he was in and searched for his threat. Nothing was there to be seen, nothing was present to be heard. Yet, every single hair on the back of Tano's neck stood at alert. He was being watched...*

Name: Zero (same old, same old) Class: (take a guess, I'm using the same one I always use) Swordsman
*I walked through the forest, admiring its beauty as I did. I notciced someone ahead of me, and casually rested my hand on the hilt of my blade before moving forward.*

*Tano's knuckles whiten as he looks around for the eyes that were prying down on him... the presence felt close. Tano began to get the eerie feeling that creeps over one just before an ambush... His body tingling, Tano knew he had to find the presence, be it friend or foe.*
Tano's lips moved in a soft whisper as he murmered the ancient chant that would reveal all that was hidden from him: "Elea i’dolen...Elea i’dolen...Elea i’dolen..."
*Tano's eyes began to glow a Dazzling white. His hair began to blow back as a strange breeze pushed against his body. New sights began to appear that Tano had not before seen. All his senses were increased five fold. The scent of spicy genseng roots and ivy leaves flooded his nose and the sounds of a bug's tiny legs scraping across a dead leaf filled his ears. He could feel the trees around him sway in the breeze, and lastly he saw the figure approaching. Though Tano could not tell for sure if the approaching man was friend of foe, Tano could tell that his hand was on the hilt of his blade. This Tano readied himself against. Perhaps they too were questioning the him as well? Tano began to work on finding the truth out.*
"You there! I am Tano Blackthorne! I come with no urge to do harm! What do you purpose, good or ill?"

"I come as neither friend or foe. I'm but a traveller, searching for answers! This is odd, there are usally more people around this forest."
I release my hand from the hilt of with sword, shut my eyes, and try to sense for other presences in the forest.

*Tano's hand immediately relaxes and his eyes lighten.*
"Yes, I know. Something ill is afoot, though, as it seems. I have never heard the forest this quiet before."
*Tano looks the traveller over and decides that he is not a danger.*
"I too, am a traveller. But I travel for great purpose." Tano looked at the sword at Zero's side. "Perhaps you may serve..." Tano muttered the last under his breath.

Aadarin Minsch, Coming soon to Your Local Plane of Existance . After another plane-shift Aadarin appears in the forest, and immediately vomits into the bush. (I'll never get used to that) he thinks. After a few minutes recovery, Aadarin sets out in search of a settlement and soon comes across two other figures in the woods. He slowly sneaks towards their position through the brush....

*I suddenly sense another presence and look in its direction. Someone is sneaking towards us.*
"You there, in the bushes," I shout. "Come out, now!"

"Who, me?" A prepubescent red witch donning glasses and a scarlet cheongsam flies out from deep within the wooden branches of a nearby tree.

"Oh, hello there," I say to the witch, bowing. "What business do you have in these unpleasant woods?"

<a very befuddled Aadarin walks out of the bush>
"Wow," he says, "I though he was talking to me."

"Well, this is awkward..." I say rubbing the back of my neck.

*Tano's stomach turns over with excitement as he sees the arrivals gathering. They have each brought something all their own. Talents and gifts from many different areas of life and backgrounds. Such was that which Tano had been seeking. Their assistance would be vital.*
"Ah. So many different people! No wonder the wood has died down so much! With all of this activity I'm surprised that the wood hasn't run off!" Tano approached the witch and looked her over. "You bring substantial power for such a small package, young one. Power such as yours will be a necessity." Tano turned and gazed upon the other that had entered. He looked long and hard at him but still could guess nothing of him. "You are mysterious and obviously not from these parts..." Tano observed his odd clothes. "But your power extends beyond that of many I have crossed. You too shall come in... handy..." Lastly Tano's gaze fell back to Zero. "And you... you are the link that will hold the chain together, if your skill at that sword equals your ability to sneak around a forest."
*Tano laughed his rusty laugh and waited to be bombarded with questions. The poor mortals had no idea what they had been dragged into, and to be honest neither did Tano. But he was having quite the time watching their puzzled expressions beam down upon him.*

"Hmph." snorts the witch. "Power, huh? Well, I DO cast a mean fireball spell. And, creepy guy, don't play any tricks, or you'll find your butt singed before you can say 'red.'"

"Not to brag," I say quietly. "But people call me many things: Zero, Buster Man, Blademaster, Lord of the Skies..."
