Role Playing Dicussion

here, we can discuss current events here on ToSA.

To kick off, for those who joined yesterday, the Cryptic Foreshadowy Poem of Doom for the Black Fog Soldier plot. Who is the Soldier? How much of the poem will turn into a red herring in the long run? I want to hear your opinions.

"Long ago in a time far away
A rogue soldier entered a battle one day
He lost his arm, and he fled into the fog
Demons came, as his oppenent saw
They were attracted to the blood, and cursed the fog.

Black Fog, Black Fog
Created that night,
And searched for the dark truth's Light.
Black Fog Black Fog
Rides through the night
Searching for the the source of it all.

The Soldier noticed his reflection had fled
And was forever hunted.
He ran into the black fog spawned from his past
and there he screamed his last

Black Fog Black Fog!
Return what you stole!
Return my reflection to me!
Without it I am feared...
Black Fog Black Fog
You Demon Spawned Soul!
What has been Sown shall be reaped!
This curse brought by my red headed foe,
Shall end tonight, I swear on my soul....

The Soldier's life, ended just then,
His armor left behind
The Fog took over, just as the man who cut his arm off back then
Witnessed it take flight.

He said Black Fog Black Fog,
Flies through the night forevermore
Not Lapis Ring, nor half bred dog
Shall keep it from it's goal.
Uncover the truth of men, show them their flaws
Accept the Darkness of their reflection
Or else.... the next battle they'll fall.

Secrets and Pride, are dangerous things
that always come to light
The Black Fog Soldier's eternal plight
Ends when the empty seeker reveals the truth
If the cursed cannot accept themselves
The Soldier's Quest will continue....."

Okay, since it's been over a month since the last post, might as well add some new info regarding the Black Fog Soldier.

1. The BFS takes on the form of a heavily armored individual with black, smoky wings and weilds a sword and shield.

2. The soldier... doesn't really talk that much.

3.As seen in the thread, "Shadows on the Winds" The black fog itself can affect people, and each person is affected differently, from a temporary boost in a stat, a personality shift, or possibly getting knocked out. Once the soldier leaves though, the effects usually wear off.

Anyway, if you have any ideas or questions, you can post them here, alright?

Speak of the devil, AFAIK, is a figure of speech meaning 'when you talk about someone, they appear'.
I also researched the games a little, hope it shows.
And I think I can figure out a way to get Ken to join the others, but I have to ask, are there any goals set yet?

[Kudzu Aura]

not yet, I think everyone just has their own goals at this point.

Okay, Currently, I'm in the middle of planning something with Soul. That something is a way for characters from other Tales Games being able to appear in ToS. The basic idea being that down in Sybak, an experiment occurs, and accidentally brings in someone from another Tales game, a villain in all honesty. Of course, this experiment also allows for time travel in a way, so characters from the past... except Richter, due to the whole, guarding the door to Nieflheim thing, will be appable as well. Which means, Kratos Aurion can be used!

If this goes well, we may have more activity on the forum! So I hope this works.
