SO... as you all noticed... magical abilities will start appearing between bonded pairs ;D
How this happens is threefold:
* First, that you've chosen a magical element for your character, scaled your interests and posted it in this thread here. This is our starting point that we'll be using to build your skills on.
* Second, we note how long the pair has been bonded and how active you are in the RP. This doesn't mean you have to post daily or even weekly or flood the forms - we're just looking for consistent and thoughtful posting.
* Third, we obvserve the character's personality and actions, which direct the natural magical flow. If they're very active in one area, that's the area thier magic will grow in as well.
There is some degree of randomness to skills assignment - ie, what skill and at what level it appears; left to a small degree of chance, you never know what might quite happen - especially in the beginning! These skills can continued to be developed and honed, so if you have specific plans for your character, do let us know, and we'll help you get there.
Questions? Comments? That's what we're here for!

*snickers* Tadpole soup, eh? Not sure where yuo'd find tadpole in fall though, lol Also, Urdvoggens do have the same number of legs as toads. It's really the tail that's different. And the expressive eyebrows

Question on the griffons. How intelligent are they? Would they be able to converse through mind-speak, or understand mind-speak? Or not?

Pocket Griffons are as intelligent as your average budgiegar or house cat. So weather or not they understand human speech (or simply choose to ignore it!) is up for debate ;D Another note, in case i've missed mentioning it here - the griffons, along with the Aviquin and drafter unicorns, won't be RPable until the NEXT RP, as they are part of the pre-release. (see, we totally expected to have this one completed by now, but decided to release some of the goodies for the birthday instead1) Also, we need to focus if we're going to get to the end of this thing - and griffons can be.... well, somewhat distracting

Great first post, LVs! The only thing I would correct is that Selah would absolutely know who her father and mother are - unicorns are a tight-knit family. Or at very least her mother, because unicorns are, like horses, raised mostly by mom, since unicorns are not required to live in a herd or with the band stallions - 'tis all the mare's choice.
However, Falling Star does act as the isle's teacher, so once she was of age it's very believable that she left her mother to study under him as a student.

*sits and hugs and hugs everyone and the rp* I have MISSED YOU ALL so much! And tomorrow, I will see about getting us moving again. After all, much adventure awaits! Hopefully nobody has fallen themselves asleep along the trail in this time either, 'cause then I'd have to set urdvoggens on you. Or worse. Like Xanthe ;D

I believe the "perils" Tyden was referring to this time was in fact Lilaini.... The comment was directed mostly at Liam, lol

I have two RP notes to make, so I thought this was the better place for them, so they wouldn't get buried on the PI Chatter thread. Plus being more specifically RP, probably are more fitting here. Even if we've all forgotten about this thread it seems, heh ;D Firstly ~ I had a good question about the Yaks of the Skyfeilds and their communication abilities. It's actually a great starting point for the animals of Kalidore in general, which we really haven't touched on in detail. Rule of thumb, unicorns are the universal translators and can converse magically with any/all speices. This is why humans who come to Kalidore can likewise understand everyone there - it's bit of an osmosis effect, from hanging out with unicorns. And bonded companions will carry this ability forward - so even visiting off isle they will seamlessly flow into every language as if it was their mother-tongue, even without their unicorn counterpart present. That said - humans, unlike unicorns, aren't going to necessarily understand every random animal species they run into, unless that is their personal magical gift. It is only the animals of the Major Arcana - ie, those blessed by the gods, Kala or otherwise - that can and do posses the ability to likewise communicate with others creatures in the native Kalidorian tongue (yes, Tali speaks Kalidorian, as well as his own language of the Skysingers). Creatures included in this rank are the Wolves, Mammoths, Great Griffons, etc (more species to be added as they become relevant). The distinction with these animals is that they all tend to have complex cultural structures and long histories of thier own; they are the "old people" of Kalidore. It is thus safe to assume that the other creatures you run into - such as Yaks, anagale, muskmice, protoceres, pocket griffons and emu - are not gifted, and thus will not start a conversation with you. It's not that they're second classed citizens or unbearably stupid (well, most of them!) - simply, it is not something that was important to their culture or personal existence, they were not interested in these gifts. So whereas a unicorn might still converse with them if they truly chose to, the conversation might go something like this: Unicorn - Hullo, yak! How's the weather? Yak - uh.... grass.... Unicorn - Ah yes, lovely grass up here. Good, I take it? Yak - uh.... grass... Unicorn - Er yes, grass. I do see that. Say, you wouldn't happen to know which way that traveling circus troupe went? Seriously, you couldn't have missed them! Yak - uh.... grass? Unicorn - Uh-huh. Somehow I knew that's where you'd go... They're just not... ones for conversation, y'know? XD If anyone has any questions about any creatures, just shout. Or even if you have direction you'd like to explore - hey, that's what I'm here for And, talking about Directions....
As you may have noticed, Fiera has wandered out in the wilderness on her own accord! And yes, you are more then welcomed to follow - either with an existing character, or hey - could even try out something new! - just note that this storyline will happen at the same time as the regular RP, so your character can't be in both places at once. So if you don't want to miss all the action - could always have one character in each place, just to be safe, lol Any questions about this Side RP, just ask. I'll be sending out a little announcement on it's behalf, once Silent and I have managed to bump heads again and have finalized our direction Lady Whimsy ~

Alllllllrighty! Time for a little RP roll-call, as the next bit is going to be playing out... a little.... unpredictably Not saying what will happen, just that if you had any loose ends to tidy up, tonight around the fire would be your best bet to do it, because afterwards.... it just might not unravel exactly the way you planned, mwahahahhhHAHAHahaha! Ahmm. >.> <.< Well then. Before I get ahead of myself, let me confirm who we've still got; players with a (?) beside them haven't posted lately/regularly, and just want a heads up as to whether I should include them in the next bit or not (my take is, if you think you might post, might as well include them, so they're there when you need them!) Currently Active:Lilaini Gypysy Areion Tia Ryan Knightly Cadence Foehn Miri Tien Mu Lumanista Erilynn Tiponi Sapata Astarta Pasiphae Liam Kynn Iole Cheri Aclyone Xanthe Rhaine Tyden Lyonee Odin Gwyneira Ulysses Trinity(?) Aurellie(?) Feira(?) Ali(?) Isandro(?) Aljan(?) Brynja(?) Thora(?) If I'm missed anyone, please correct me! This list is important XDIf everyone can give me the heads up here if those characters are indeed still active & continuing, it will be much appreciated. A little orchestrating lies ahead for the final leg of the adventure, and the conclusion of this sprawling Odyssey, woo! Lady Whimsy ~
