Emblem

(OOC: hey Morgenstern do you have any sneak and hide skill points? i checked your journal and it looked like you don't have any. I'm going to go ahead and assume you have the base stealth rating of 10)

Emblem wandered through the streets of town where he found the bench where he spent a lot of time with his friends. He sat down on the bench facing an enormous fountain and smiled. He leaned back in the bench as his dragon flew off of his shoulder and into the air. She flew to the fountain and began to fly above the steady mist coming up from the fountain. Emblem opened his menu and un-equipped his armor and sword. As he did this he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. He looked up from the dragon and behind him. He saw the man that he had saved a few moments ago hiding behind a wall watching him. Emblem couldn't help but feel annoyed as he got up and walked towards the player.

Emblem looked back at the player who now wanted to repay him for Emblem saving him. No it's no problem at all. It's my pleasure. I'd hate to see someone die in front of me. Emblem could now tell how low level the player was. He seemed to think that Emblem was a higher level than he actually was. He laughed. He was only level 12 almost 13 He looked back at the player who persistently wanted to repay Emblem and turned around. Listen. I'm just helping people out I don't need anything in return. If you want to repay me you should head back to town. I don't want anymore of those mobs to gang up on you again. I might not be there to save you. Emblem turned around as his Dragon who had been flying nearby landed on his shoulder and drowsily looked around.

Emblem nodded. Well yeah sure I don't see why not. I should probably equip my gear first though. He stepped out of the river then opened his inventory. He equipped His "Hell Rose" armor and felt the rose engraved armor forming over him. He then selected his sword "Warriors Spirit" and felt the blue sword forming onto his back. He looked back up at the player. He seemed to be pretty abrupt and quick to the point. He liked that. So many people took so long to say what they mean so it was nice to see someone go straight to the point. Well are you ready to go?

Emblem felt the mobs sword dig into his shoulder. He shook it of then jumped back preparing another sword skill to take down the thug. His sword began to glow orange as he leaped into the air bringing his sword down onto the thug killing it quickly. It burst into blue shards giving the usual shattering sound effect. He looked down at his shoulder to see a steady stream of red fragments coming out of his shoulder where he had been hit by the thug. He sheathed his sword then looked behind him at the player who had been jumped by the mobs. Hey. You okay? He looked back at the player and sheathed his sword. You have to be more careful and stay inside the safe zones when it starts to get dark. You'll be at a disadvantage being that you couldn't see as well. Emblem waved bye at the player then began to walk again back towards the town.

Emblem looked up from the ground to see a lower leveled player being cornered by two criminals. They seemed to out level the player so he decided he would try and help the player out just like he been helped out when he was a lower level. Emblem pulled out his blade and charged at the two thugs activating a sword skill as he ran. He decided he would try and take one out in one hit so that less damage would be inflicted onto the player. His blade doubled in length and shined a bright green as he stabbed at the thug killing it quickly. He turned around to the other thug bringing his sword up in a ready position. He yelled at the other player. Get behind me! I don't want you getting hurt! Emblem moved in front of the other player preparing himself for the thugs attack.

Emblem laughed as the man pulled him up. Thank you! Emblem looked down at his now drenched clothes dripping water. He laughed as the man made a joke. Emblem looked up at him. he introduced himself as Jonathon. Emblem thought about giving the man a fake name which he had done in the past but felt like he owed the man to give him his real name. Hey I'm Emblem! Nice to meet you Jonathon. Emblem put out his hand for the man to take. His dragon landed on his shoulder and looked at the man curiously. Oh sorry. This is Aisu. My familiar. Emblem's dragon gave out a short yell in greeting.

Emblem walked by the streets of floor 1. He had recently spent a lot of time there and he kind of wished that he could go to the higher floors. He was planning on going there soon but he had started to learn that just moving to a higher floor without any preparation. He had to plan what he was going to do there and when he would move to the next floor. His favorite floor of all was floor 4 or what most people remember it as the snow covered floor or as he like to call it a winter wonderland. Emblem wasn't paying attention and didn't realize that there was a shallow river in front of him. He fell into it covering himself in water. His dragon who had been relaxing on his shoudler flew up from his shoulder and began to fly around him as he got up soaking wet.

Emblem nodded. Yeah I think that we should make a party. It would be a better idea so that we could see each others health just in case one of us gets in a bad situation. We can never be too safe. Emblem looked at Cygnus to see that he agreed with him saying that they should form a party. He thought of sending the invite to them but deciding against it thinking that it would be rude to the player Shizua who he believed should be the party leader instead of everyone else that joined them. After all she had been the one looking for party members in the first place.

Emblem smiled to see that the player had finally agreed with him. However he was surprised to see that the player also offered to help him out fighting the monsters on the floor. Umm well sure thanks Rainer. Emblem pulled out his sword waiting to see if the player in front of him was going to equip his gear too. He looked around looking for any monsters spawning near them. He couldn't spot anything close to them so he looked back up at the player standing before him. Hey you don't have to do this you know. I can handle myself just fine in combat here. 

Emblem ran at a large boar at floor one. His Hell Rose armor gleamed in the fading sun and his sword gleamed orange as he stabbed it into the creature. The attack brought it's health down to zero. It shattered into tons of pieces a window opened on his HUD saying that the boar had dropped 120 COL. He sighed and added it into his inventory. COL was pretty much useless and what he really hoped for was some materials. But maybe he could put i towards some more armor or a better weapon for him to use. He sheathed his weapon behind his back and began to walk back to the town. His dragon flew down from where she had been flying and onto his head. Emblem looked behind him to see the sun had begun to set in the distance. He had seen this hundreds of times and every single time it amazed him. He continued up the path to the town hoping no Mobs would spawn in front of him.

Emblem walked around floor 1 with his armor and sword equipped. He felt like going out and doing something today but wanted someone to do talk with. As he walked through the town he spotted a group of people who seemed very familiar. He walked up to them with a grin on his face. Hey guys! How goes it! Emblem as he approached could hear they were talking about taking on a quest. Oh are you guys taking on a quest. If you want I can join you and take a DPS spot in your party? Emblem looked around to see that this was in fact the same group of people that he had spent some time with awhile ago. 

Emblem walked across the streets of floor 1 looking for something to do. He had heard about a small booth set up giving away free potions and he thought he might as well go and get some while he was here. He looked around for awhile to finally find the booth. It seemed that there were many other players there and he started to think that maybe the alchemist was already out of all the potions. He walked up too the girl working the stand. Hey I'm Emblem! Umm if you are out of potions I can leave but if you have any extras I'd be glad to take some of your hands. Emblem smiled at the woman and waited for her response.

Emblem nodded. Yeah well I'm out here to level up and get stronger. I wan't to get strong enough to join one of the higher up guilds like the Knights of the blood oath and I'm not exactly going to reach that goal by sitting around in towns or fighting monsters on lower levels. Floor 8 seemed like a good place to start so that's why i'm here. Emblem fully understood that he could die on this floor but he could die on any floor and the only way that he could proceed in this game would be to move out of the comfort of the towns and the easier monsters on the lower floors.

Emblem nodded as the woman politely said that she was going to go. Emblem smiled at the woman as she began walking back to the town. Hey Kooh good luck with your profession. I'll be sure to swing by your shop every once and awhile and maybe even bring by some more materials. I better be going to I have a rfiend to meet at floor four. He waved bye at the girl then began walking towards the teleport pad. His dragon looked back at the woman and gave out a call in farewell. His dragon preoccupied herself by chewing on his hair. Hey quit it! Emblem grabbed up at his hair trying to pull the hair out of the dragons mouth. He reached the teleport pad then prepared to teleport. He hoped that Kooh would make a good performer and that she would be successful. He smiled then shouted out the phrase to teleport.

Emblem waited as the player decided to give out his name or not. There was something about the player that made Emblem feel on guard. A thought crossed him that he hadn't thought of before. Why the heck was the player watching and hiding from him int e first place. he decided he would ask him in a bit. There was no reason for Emblem to think that the player was planning on killing him or not so he had to keep his guard up. He squinted his eyes at the player. Huh Rainer. Well my names Emblem. It's a pleasure. If you wouldn't mind could you tell me why your out here hiding from me?

(OOC: No Problem)

Emblem sat down on the ground looking around. Hmm. Yeah once we get enough we should be able to go back to the town and too the performer stuff and choose your instrument. Emblem looked to the left of him to see another piece of crystal gleaming in the sunlight. Here you go Kooh. He picked up the crystal then walked up to the girl and handed it to her. There you go. We should almost be done. Just a few more. He walked a little bit to the left where he had found the crystal in hopes of finding more t give to Kooh. 

Hmm "Slayer of the Hydra"... He sounds like an interesting guy. Emblem hated hearing when someone was player killed. It made him sad to think that even in a video game where there lives were at stake people were still killing others. But then again it made sense. People weren't even sure if you died when your HP hit 0 for all they know you just woke up from the game. Maybe this was some kind of sick prank. But even if he wouldn't die he didn't want to be the one to test out this theory. Helios offered him a quick snack. Why not thanks Helios!

(OOC: oh yeah whoops. I fixed it.)

Emblem felt confused as the white haired player revealed himself from his hiding spot. His first impression of the player was defiantly not a good one. He seemed to be a pretty cocky person. Emblem let his arm fall from the hilt of his sword now seeing the the player came in peace. The player gave another cocky phrase that made Emblem dislike the player even more. May I ask your name? Emblem didn't mean to be too rude but he wanted to know the player by name before he continued to belittle Emblem anymore than he already had. 

(OOC: Were on the 8th floor)

Emblem trained his eyes on the tree stump creature almost laughing at the stupidity of the creature. It was a stump. A tree stump, yet it was stronger than lots of monsters on the lower floors. But even the monsters on the lower floors much weaker than this odd looking monster were much more menacing in appearance. He looked to see the monster winding up for another charge. He decided it would be the moment when the monster was most vulnerable. He activated his sword skill "Sonic Leap" and lunged at the monster. His weapon shined orange as he slammed his blade into the stump. His sword lodged into the wood. The monster gave out one last squeal before shattering into thousands of pieces. Emblem sighed then sheathed his sword. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted a player in white hair who seemed to be hiding from him and observing him at the same time. Confused he walked towards the tree. Uhh hey. He walked closer prepared to pull his sword out at any second.

Emblem felt his dragon shift around on his head. She always loved the feeling of battle and Emblem could tell she was itching to go hunting just like the rest of the f the players around him. Two new players came and greeted themselves. Hey I'm Emblem! I think that does it for introductions then? Emblem put his hands in his pockets waiting to figure out when they would head out. It was always nice to help players who now are deciding to leave the safe zone and he wondered if there was a guild created for just that purpose that he could join.

Hmm Zelrius. I've never heard of him. What was his title? Emblem thought hard. Had he heard of Zelrius. The name sounded familiar to him but he wasn't sure if he knew. Emblem wondered if the man Zelrius was a clearer and what he was known for. Emblem yawned then put his hands behind his head. He remembered a woman who had called him cocky because of the way he did this but he proved to her that he could put his money where his mouth is when he one hit a field boss. Of course little did the woman know that the boss was fairly low level.

Emblem nodded. Nice to meet you Shizua. You have a cool name. He turned around to see another player walking towards them. She looked like she was having some sort of vacation day too. She wore casual clothing like him. He waved to the girl as she walked towards the group. She introduced herself as Zandra. Shizua introduced him and Cygnus to Zandra. He waved to the girl. Nice to meet you Zandra! Emblem put his hands in his pockets. It seemed that they were going to go hunting. Huh well I might as well get equipped. He opened his inventory and selected his armor and felt it materialize over his clothes. He pressed on his sword and felt the weapon form onto his back. So when are we going to head off. Emblem noticed that his armor was loose. He hated the feeling and began to adjust the straps on his armor so that it felt tighter on his body.

Emblem felt a bit bummed that Helios wasn't a clearer and that meant that he still had a heck of a ways to go until he could be a clearer. Emblem laughed. No not yet but hopefully one day. Emblem hoped soon he'd be able to defeat some type of boss. He'd heard of event bosses. Maybe he would try one of those out sometime he'd taken down field bosses easily but he wasn't too sure that event bosses and floor bosses would be the same thing. He laughed. They're probably very far from the same. He'd heard of boss fights were the minions alone would be equal to a lower floor boss. Of course he wasn't sure if those were just rumors or true.

Emblem laughed at hims elf. He had forgotten to equip his armor. Something like that would have killed him. He opened his inventory and equipped his "Hell Rose" armor. He looked up to see a tree trunk type creature moving towards him. He smiled excited to see what it could do. He activated a sword skill so that he could weaken the enemy before it could do a lot of harm to him. He activated it and his sword began to glow a brilliant green. It doubled in length as he stabbed it into the monster taking a good chuck of it's health away. Enraged it ran at him and slammed itself into Emblem. He grit his teeth glad that his armor protected himself with from some of the attack. He shook it off then prepared for another attack.

Emblem walked through the town of beginnings  with his familiar Aisu resting on his head he didn't have a care i the world he had unequipped all of his armor so all he wore was a blue button-up shirt and blue jeans. Today was what he called his vacation day. He had spent a lot of time recently partying and trying to level up. As he walked he noticed one of his friends Cygnus standing nearby with one other player. He decided he might as well say hi. He walked up to Cygnus and smiled. Hey Cyg! How are you doing? Emblem looked at he other players with him.  She wore the starting armor that you wore when you first log into the game. He too wore that armor until recently.  He looked at the two players and gave them a grin. Hey! I'm Emblem!
