The House of Gallant
Stuff I was thinking over while at work. These are my characters, based in Ragnarok Online.
The house Gallant was and remains to be a powerful family in Rune Midgard. Historically, they have been long intertwined with the Church, and while this remains true, has begun to change.
Though it has always had influence Magnas Gallant was the first to bring the house to real levels of power. A high ranking Priest of the order Malleus (Demon hunters), his talent brought him great amounts of wealth and fame. His affluence bought him the entire Gallant estate as it is known today, and earned him a spot on the Church council.
Married to Magnas was Meredia Gallant. Her real parents unknown, she was an orphan raised in the church, and became a Priestess of the order Hospitalar (Healers). She met Magnas during a mission, and they became married before long.
Thier 5 children became heirs to the house after thier parents' tragic deaths at sea. The church considers the matter confidential, but rumors say thier ship was atatcked and sunk by the undead Captain Drake.
Without a charismatic head, the house quickly declined in strength, but the vast wealth collected over years sustained
Inyana Gallant
Inyana is the eldest child. She has always had white hair, and brown eyes. IN appearance, she favors her father.
She was enrolled as an acolyte in training when her parents were killed. The disaster pained all of the children greatly, and Inyana believed that it was the churche's fault for letting such an important ship depart unprotected and alone. She almost immediately left the shelter of the monastery and the Gallant manor to begin training herself in the art of combat. Years later, she resurfaces as a feared member of the guild of Assassins, but reluctantly returns to the manor to claim her inherited title as Matriarch of the House Gallant
Vaylea Gallant
Vaylea is the second eldest Gallant, and strongly resembles her mother, if more rugged. She shares her mother's wispy blonde hair and blue eyes.
Though raised as a proper girl, Vaylea has throughout her childhood been very much a tomboy. While Inyana was learning versus or being fitted for dresses, Vaylea slipped away to practice Archery with the town boys, and tore up her pants being rough. The bow ended up being her calling, and there were plans to train her as a Holy Archer of the Church, but then the disaster struck. Vaylea was stunned, and lost all faith she had entirely. She disassociated her self entirely from the house and the church, and went wandering teh countryside with her bow, scraping a living as a scoundral. Thogh just a common thug, she has deadly aim and nimble fingers from what little formal training she did get. Vaylea still had pride in the name Gallant though, and therefore kept her bloodline a secret, until she was captured and imprisoned. Janya aided her release, on the condition she return to the manor to bring the last of the house back together. Not the situation Vaylea wanted, but faced with the alternative, she accepted.
Ethylia Gallant
Ethylia is the third child, and is almost a young mirror of her mother, in both appearance and mannerism.
She was too young to have been training when her parents dies, but she remembers them very well. Rather than lose faith, Ethylia coped by placing even more trust in God. She chose to follow her mother's footsteps and trains as a Priestess Hospitalar.
Magnas Gallant II
If Etlylia was a mirror to her mother Meredia, Magnas II is his father's double. The second youngest gallant, but the only male, leaving him as House Patriarch by default. He has the same dark hair and hard brown eyes as Magnas Sr.
Magnas had a very close bond with his father, and grieved terribly when he died. Fueled by a hatred of demons and undead, he studied the was of the Ordo Malleus in order to become a hunter, just like his father. One of the youngest Priests to be accepted, he had yet to gain much respect within the orde.r
He is very adherant to church law, and very outspoken about it. However, when it comes to women, he walks the line as close as he can possibly come. The Orthodox church does not ban kissing outside of marriage, and a good thing too, else Magnas never would have been alowed to stay as a member of the inner circles.
When it came time to step up to th eduty of Head of Household, Magnas almost broke under the strain. It wasn't until Inyana returned to share the burden that things leveled off, even if it was mainly because the church council didn't want to endanger the fragile alliance they has with the Assassin guild.
Magnas resents Inyana and Vaylea having abandoned the church years ago, and the animosity is clear. He loves his sisters though, and still supports them.
Janya Gallant
The youngest Gallant, she also reacted most severe to the disaster. For 2 years since, she didn't speak a word. The experiance had a major effect on her personality apparent even today, as she remains a very quiet person. She has dark hair and eyes like her father, but features more favoring her mother.
Always one to avoid unnecessary conflict, unlike the rest of her siblings, she was always modest and shy. It was then a big suprise when she donned armor and sword to join the ranks of the Holy Crusaders. Her desire to avenge her parents, combined with her strong faith influenced and inspired her to continue the course of the rigorous training.
A master cavalier and swordswoman, she was placed as a guard captain while in training, which gained he much influence in that area. She used this extensively to grant her sister Vaylea a pardon.
I guess those are the main players. I'll go into more details about the house and thier exploits later.

june 16
I'm going to run a little experiment.
I'm going to not call or contact any of my friends for awhile. It seems with a lot of them, its either coincidence that we do something, or I contact them about it.
Also, I'm denying car rides to just about anyplace. Kind of helps that i'm having troubles with that aspect anyway.
The goal? Well, after thinking baout it a little bit, it seems to me the only time a good number of my friends bother with me at all is when either I call them, or they need me to drive them someplace. I'd just like to sift out who's actually my friends from that lot. Or, at least point out to them the way i feel they're treating me and have them change every so slightly.
Maybe I'm just being too optimistic on that though.

Cai, I know you're the only one who actually looks here, besides maybe a totally random person who stumbles upon my backwater journal by chance...
So! I'm gonna make use of that to bitch about your sister and her horrible telephone skills.
Today, 1:15 pm. I call your house, and your sister answers.
Her: Hello?
Me: Hello, is Cai there?
Her: NoSorry*Click*
...
Maybe I wanted to leave a message? Leave a name? Ask your estimated time of arrival? Ask some other question?
The fact that I really didn't have anything else to say...well, is beside my point =P
Oh, it turns out that She's home anyway and I'm talking to her now on the phone.
But meh.
I'm hopeless and pathetic ^^
not to sound all emo and depressing, but I'm pretty sure I can get a good number of people to back me up on this. I guess It's not as bad as I make it sound, but I get kinda lonely quite a bit recently, and I really hate feeling like that.
It is really hard for me to really express what I feel a lot. A lot of it doesn't fit woth words or descriptions even in my own head. i'm sure there's words for it, but they just don't click in my mind. I wish people had more empathetic powers. That they were just able to pick up on these things, or project them somehow, kind of like th Point of View gun in Hitchiker's.
[/meander]
I guess what it feels most like is reaching out to something, but not reaching it. NOt even just out of reach, you're still a mile off.
And, like no matter what you try to do, you're never going to be important enough to the people you hoild in the highest importance. It doesn't matter if I'm Trying too hard, not trying enough, Trying the wrong things, or just flat out not right for them...It still sucks to feel that way.
=\
Pump it Up tomorrow! woo!

most recent update
Bills suck. But jobs are good for getting rid of those.
began a new D&D campaign last night, for a smaller group than the normal. This can be played with only 3 of the normal players, since the other 2-4 are a little spotty on when they can show up. May add a 4th if they can be consistant.
This storyline I haven't gotten mapped out yet, so the first session didn't wuite go as smoothly as I had wished.
Nate is the captain, a Dread Pirate (he hasn't yet decided on a name...so until then, he will be called Fucky McFuckfuck). Basically, he acquires a ship, does a couple odd missions for whoever hires him, then begins marauding to his hearts content. No grand storyline, but its probably going to end up as a Robin Hood deal. Oh, and they will also fight Ninjas. Pirates Vs ninjas, the classic rivalry.

[Link] | HEY YOU! YES, YOU!
If you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, you must post a
memory of me. It can be anything you want, so long as it happened. Then
post this to your journal. See what people remember about you.
Oh, and my own special rule. Not allowed to use the same memory I used of you, m'kay?
Mother's day was great, we got to fuss over my new niece ^^
Thats about all that's happened recently, besides hanging out with friends, but who really wants to read that, besides me that is? Well, my friends I suppose...but they were all there when it happened. So thats kind of a moot point, ya know?
D&D Update!
Mike's campaign - Dragon's Ire
I let my shield dancer die ;_; I liked the character, but we had enough melee type fighters already. Since I'm not well versed in Spellcasting yet, I decided to make a Hulking Hurler (Non Human, Large, Ranged physical combat). I rather like him so far, he's a blast to roleplay. Simple, but not dumb, and a very "I'm MUCH bigger than you" attitude ^^
My campaign... I've decided to call it Terrenigma (Terra+Enigma=...) Yeah, the name's a ripoff, but it just sounds so cool. Yeah, I even borrowed a couple story points from it too, but hey, i'm going original enough.
Gerrit's character was killed by Mike's, they got in an argument about gold and Mike poisoned him. gerrit re-entered as a warlock in the most recent campaign. The party went to Geffen, the Sunken City. Immediately, they were quarantined under suspect of plague. At this point is where Gerrit's bit it. They escaped the confinement into the sewers, where they met up with a not too happy water elemental, though they dispatched him with minor difficulty.
The nezumi of the sewers thanked them for thier troubles. nate's character went through a necessary ordeal to become his prestige class of choice, Cancer Mage. He had been infected by a zombie bite, and the nezumi chief 'sanctified' his body to accept the disease. They both believe it is a divine ritual, and that Nate will more or less give birth to thier god's mortal form. Both are decieved. That storyline bit will come in later.
The last thing to happen was raiding the prince's castle to retrive an artifact of importance fo rthe nezumi. While that was very successful on its own, they also saw a very large problem. A Baku was in the castle (Baku are creatures with bodies of just about anything (Wax, quill pens, flowers, bells, skulls, fire, feathers, chains - these are just the ones I have ideas for so far ) no heads or tails, and 4 legs like a lion). Just like the ones they fought back in Aldebaran, except this one held itself far more aggresively, and its body was entirely made of knives. Problem being, these tings are very tough, and the only one left who knows how to create them is Nam Fuudle, who's been trying to kill them, and is now quite apparently in the same town.
Open ends: Nam's Ring (mike's character is wearing it)
Dave'd Druid becoming Vermin Lord
The second Forcelance (Jason's Weapon)
Legendary Blacksmith Zappa, living in or around Payon of the Schweitzerhild Republic.
Nam Fuudle himself
The true source of Nate's 'blessing' of the plague.
I really really like how this story is falling in place. Our anti-heroes have completed teh first segment, "powers gathering". In it, they formed thier party, 2 main plot pieces went into action, and they met all 3 of thier adversaries - Good, Evil, and Neutral.
I think the next segment will extend over a small story arc, and focus on the Bakus. I intend to end the story involving them as well, so after this, they likely won't make an appearance with Nam until everything is pretty much wrapping up.
I'm really getting into this, I may even start naming individual sessions now.

An actual entry, wow
I worry too much. Friends (main one), money, love, what i'm doing with my life. It's all worry worthy stuff, yes. But I still do it too much.
I thought of a small passage I read someplace recently. About friends, and the different kinds.
As much as it was really very religious, and i'm really quite not, it still makes a lot of sense. I dunno, I guess I do sort of believe in some kind of force, or God, guiding us sometimes... even if I have no idea its nature. But whatever, theology talk some other time.
I can't remember it exactly, but I'll paraphrase.
In your life you'll meet many people, and make lots of friends. Some friends, even really good ones will leave us. Its inevitable. BUt, it helps to know that there are 3 kinds of real friends you'll have in your life
There are some there for a Reason. These people are only in your life ofr a brief time, but in some way they change you, or show you the way through a dark time. This could be only a day, a few weeks, months...But, when thier reason is completed, these people must move on, an you have to let them. There's somebody else out there, weather they know it or not, who needs a reason at this point in thier life.
Some friends are for a Season. Thesepeople stick by you through it all, being a companion, a shoulder, a partner, a cohort. (^^;;) You were the clsoest of friends, but for whatever reason, you will eventually grow apart, and find separate paths. Childhood friends, teachers, idols... all serve a very important purpose,and teach valuable lessons, but as the seasons change regularly, so do these kinds of friends. Again like the earth's seasons, you'll find new friends what fit with your new life better.
Andfinally, the truest of friends, ones there for a Lifetime. NO matter what happens, these very few will stay with you. Distance means nothing, nor do pasts, and just about everything is forgivable (once the sting wears off). No friendship is without rocks and twists though, so don't ever let one sever you from a lifetime friend.

Gotham: its kinda fallen apart, havent played in ages =\ Its too bad, (DM)Brett (or whatever its called in World of Darkness) was really good at it too.
Dragon's Ire: let my character die to play one (DM)Mike and I created, an Alchemist.
I've begun a campaign that I DM as well. D&D, requirement: alignment no higher than Chaotic neutral. The first session went pretty well, i think. the 4 characters (played by Jason, Nate, Dave, and Gerrit) accepted a small time job to loot an old abandoned mansion. However, it's not exactly abandoned. After beating up animated Boar Bushes, and being chased around the property by an animated Rhinocerous bush, they escaped into the house and began looting. Nate (who's a bit of a rogue now, uses a scythe ^^ i love him for that) solved almost all of the little puzzles of the house. Then, they found who had been occupying the house, a Gnome girl, scared to hell of them (and rightly so). She's not alone though, she has with her 2 abberations of some type, The legs of a lion, no head, no tail, and bodies made out of different things. First was one of Candles, second was one of pen quills. Things happened, and a battle raged, with the quill creature really kicking ass ^^ I'm so proud.
Things didn't go well for the Gnome, they ended up killing her and looting her ring that she wore around her neck.
After giving the spoils to the crime heads who hired them, they mentioned her. The heads then proceded to check out the mansion, likely to clean things up a bit.
Each earned 14,000 GP on that bit. Its a bit much now that I think, but I have ways of lowering it next session.
But, to the meat and potatos of the story. Turns out that the girl was Alicia Fuudle, only child of Nam Fuudle. Nam is the king's highest and most respected wizard and magic researcher, and he has gotten word of her murder. he flies in via Royal Dragonflies from the south. While pondering how to handle taht, they decide to find the crime lords who hired them and ask advice. Well...they skipped town and abandoned every single piece of loot that was taken from the manor. Shit. The party decides to do the same.

Dragon's Ire (D&D)
Aaah, freedom! How good it is to be free of the pits of that blasted arena, out in the sun by my own will!
My name is My name is Jack Therin, better known from the colliseum in the south as Jack of Blades (Yeah, Fable inspired =P sue me). I won enough battles, collected enough money, to buy my freedom, along with my armor. They called me a Shield Dancer back there, one who used my defenses as offense, and danced the dteps of battle gracefully, regardless of the platemail. Both my armor and shields are covered with spikes, hence my nickname.
See, there's one problem with freedom though. There's absolutely nowhere to go. A very small plight, as I just wander north, taking any odd job a small time celebrity can get, just to eat and be on my way... minor farmwork help, masonry and the like, but the Merchants in need of a bodyguard pay the best. Thats how I ended up here in Endor. I think i'll have to continue my wanderings another place, this place seems rather uneventful. I just need to find the wealthiest merchant with a lack of hired muscle, and I'll be on my way.

More Gotham Knights
I need to keep a front going. nobody can know what i'm planning, not just yet. By the time they know, it'll be too late already.
I went back to my job at the bank. I don;t plan on working tehre for long. When you get to know some people, it's not too hard to drip a few pennies here and there, and very slowly, have a little bit of a nest egg saved for yourself.
But I need the money now. Finding Deathstroke won't be easy or cheap. I need fistfulls of money, so The bank where I work is going to be robbed.
But, even if it seems like it, i'm not totally alone in the world. Dyna's back, and we talked in teh alley behind Tony's. She's so excited...energetic...about somehthing or someone. A chance of a lifetime she tells me. It has to be that dark figure that saved her from the crash. I'm almost certain Its the same figure i saw grappling with Deathstroke. I need to find out who this is and how they're connected to Deathstroke. And I pray they're not allies, for Dyna's sake.

Gotham and other stuff
Happenings with Gotham Knights.
My name s JJ. My brother, Ian, just escaped his captors, but neither he nor I am out of hot water yet. He still owes the cartel $200,000 and needs to warn them of a bust happening tonight down at the docks. No way I'm letting him go alone, even though he's the older one, I feel like I need to protect him... I buy a pair of pistols for us, and we set out.
My brother and I aren't alone with the cartel execs though. There's also some hired muscle, a guy named Deathstroke, or Slade. We get there in time to warn them, but not in time for them to prepare. A dark figure swooped in and started fighting deathstroke, and at the same time, the police move in. We try to escape with our own hides intact, but Deathstroke...he killed my brother. Then he and the dark figure vanished, still fighting each other.
I need to lay low. Secure a new place to hide for a bit...get some funds, I do work at a bank after all... Everything I have will be spent to destroy Deathstroke.
Happening is real life.
This last weekend I went to a very large yugioh tournament in Columbus, Ohio. It was great! decks from all over the area, people came from New york, georgia, even some from arizona and California! I ran my trap deck, and got quite a bit of notice for it. I ended at 91/721, and my friend Josh placed 33.
Being alone is a double edged sword. You can clear your mind so well, have all the time in the world to think about things, to advance your goals, to make money, do things...But its terribly lonely at times. I love bein able to progress, and I do it well alone, but if there's nobody to share it with at some point, what IS the point?

Gotham Knights, week 3
Well, My brother isn't dead. =)
But this does mean I still have $75,000 to raise in 2 weeks. =(
The FBI Agent and the Police officer had a run-in with the Croc. He's a little nasty, but they got him.
The reporter has allied himself with the Escabedo cartel, brcause the police force pissed him off. Only 1 of teh brothers is still free, and thats Antonio, the most important and most dangerous of the three. However, he's laying low for now, because of the police actively trying to bust him.
Dyna delivered my prize ^^ the bike is sweet ^^ oh yeah ^^
And, as a side note, I found out who Dyna Lance is, outside teh storyline. Apparently, she;s a minor DC superhero calle dthe Black Sparrow. This....is difficult.
Current Mood:  energetic

Gotham Knights
So here's the rundown in World of Darkness.
Made bet with Dyna Lance, the bike racer from before. She's the top racer from Edge City, to the north. Put my pink slip (a Cougar, seems a little expensive for a bank teller? probably, but lets not get into that too deep ^^;;) against her bike, which I've seen before, and was given no further details than "This is no ordinary bike".
New character comes in. Think Clarice from Silence of the Lambs, the psychoanalyst thing. She eseems like a good character, and the person playing her is pretty cool too. the 2 other players are a Cop from LA who got transferred (to the only place worse - Gotham) for...something about ...brutality...destructive tendancies....ahem..
The other is a reporter. He seems to be quite the control freak. Wants to have the police tied around his finger. Wants to intimidate hitmen with his stunning power of words. I think this character is going to be shot sometime.
Anyway, day of the race, There's only 3 competators, rather than the large number expected. Me, Dyna Lance, and Miguel Escabedo, Member of the drug cartel that has my brother. Luckily I win by about 3/4 of an inch, and I had to spend all my willpower to do so. The police busted us at the last leg of the race, Dyna lost control and fell off the side of the highway. Now thigns get funky.
Everybody else had a sub standard roll for seeing what happenned, so all they saw was a Bang - dyna's door flies outward, a Whoosh, with a swift streak heading towards Dyna's car, and then they're gone.
I however, saw more. The bang was somethign Dyna used from inside the car to bust up the door to escape. I didnt see what it was. Compression hammer? Maybe she has really powerful thighs? Anyway, the streak was a bat-like figure, dark, unkown to me what it actually was. It may be human or not. Seeing as this is both World of Darknes and Gotham, its either a Vampire or Batman. Which would be worse? I dunno....Everybody handy, including me and Escabedo, get arrested.
On the other side of town, another sting happens, and teh bring in Miguel's older, smarter, and more dangerous older brother, Emanuel. A body was found at the scene, awaiting identification. My character doesn't know about this, but I rather suspect its my brother. ;_; Next session will tell.

oi
Not a whole lot to talk about, even though its been awhile since my last entry. Nothing much has happenned at work or at home or with my friends.
About the pnly thing taht has happenned at all was a role playing thing that has been planned for about 4 months or so actually coming together. My character is a bank teller by day, street racer by night, wioth a really sweet car. Kinda ironic, I couldn't really care less about cars. It starts off with my car being in for work, and the chop shop its at being raided. Getaway on a motorcycle followed by a race with a lady who also got away. Dyna something...NExt day my brother gets taken by th elocal drug cartel, and its up to me to get the $250,000 in 3 weeks. I've got 150k if I win this next race, but that still leaves 100k.... Its all set in Gotham City as well. No superheros exist yet though, its a pre Batman Gotham as far as anybody knows.
I'm sure that was really an interesting read. Who ever reads this thing anyway? I guess that really doesnt't matter either.

sketches
I think I'm goign to start drawing again. This will require me getting pencils, a notepad, and fixing my scanner to keep record of them.
But right now I'm broke. *tossed those 3 items up on his xmas list*
Most importantly, I'll need to improve. There's been a few people to like my drawings, but I've rarely been one of them.
Ragnarok Online really is the awesomeness. I've been playing loads recenetly, advancing characters, doign quests, getting items, spending zeny...i'm hopelessly addicted. I'm just rather frustrated with the game atm, because a hat that was added just tuesday requires an item that only drops from one monster who they didn't add in yet. >.< How convenient.
I seem to create a lot of awkward situations. Its worse taht I usually don't even realize what I'm doing. I'll have to work on that, I don't want my friends to start not wanting to hang around me because of it.
McDonalds is behind the times. Around here, its the only fast 24 hour joint to go to, but they're the only one who also doesnt accept credi or debit cards yet. Birger King, Wendy's, Arby's all take them, but arent open 24! I guess I'll just have to do Steak & Shake after work until they shape up.
Oh yeah, btw. It effing freezing here.
