As the sun began to set, Exzelcryth finished her drink, looking out over the sea. The wind had picked up a little and gently blew her pristine silky hair across her face now and then. Ina smooth movement she ran soom fingers through her hair along her head to put it back in place. She got up running a hand down herself to straighten her dress and walked out of the balcony area, a few eyes following her as she did. Finding this "Earth" was on her mind, it could be hard to find a dimension or planet one has never stepped foot on. She made her way to the top of one part of the Sandcastle keep, and went further down a walkway atop a wall that led out away from the main castle. The walkway led to pyramid shaped structure designed, to focus magical energy, domething that made it very easy for dimensional travel. Also to find one's way back from another realm. Her footfalls echoed on stone floors as she entered the Pyramid. A fall floor near the top, where the stone ended, the pointed cap of the rest of the Pyramid was thick, solid and clear crystal, which gave a beautiful view of the sky. Stone pillars with ancient runes where aligned in a circle in the middle of the room. Four light elf guards wearing shining scale armor, carrying swords at their hips, were posted at the entrance, but recognized her and did not obstruct her way, bowed slightly as she entered. Though they did look her up and down overtly, partially because it was their job to scrutinize, partially because they liked what they saw. Near the circle of pillars in the center of the room sat a woman, with dark blue skin, white hair, and yellow eyes, her ears pointed as the elves that guarded the door. As Exzel approached her, the woman spoke with lookong at her, "To what do I owe the pleasure of such a visit?" Exzel addressed the sitting woman, "Hagitha, I'm seeking a plane called Earth. I thought perhaps..." "I could help you," Hagitha finished her sentence, as her head turned to look at Exzel. A thin smile crossed her face, and her knowing eyes looked at the demon with a piercing look. "Yes, I know this plane. I take it this means you'll be leaving us?" "For a time perhaps. The wanderlust is beging to take hold of me once more." "Lord Ulburnus once claimed Earth realm, but he met his end some time ago by the natives. It's been chaos their ever since. Becareful, you do not meet such an end Lady Exzelcryth." Exzel sat on the floor facing Hagitha, crossing her legs and taking a pose to meditate. Hagitha reached out and placed a hand over the demon's heart, as they both closed their eyes. Excel reaching out, looking for remnants of Ulburnus' energy, Hagitha guided her search. His energy signature had all but dissipated, but Hagitha remembered well, and eas able to help Exzel zero in. Giving her a clear mental imagine of the place. The demon's eyes shot open, smiling as Hagitha's hand withdrew from her chest. "Thank you, old friend." Exzelcryth stood and moved to the very center of the room. Gathering ancient magics and focusing them, she movrd gracefully, the image of Earth in her head still, and opened a portal, cutting a hole in the very fabric of reality, linking two worlds. With a confident stride, she stepped through.

Right, just wanted to get a rough idea when I'm writing. Japan seems fitting for magical girls. Though this suddenly gave me an idea to have a stereotypical western themed magical exchange girl from America come over. If we want to settle on a region/city I vote for Kyoto and surrounding area, that seems under used compared to Tokyo. Whatever fits though. Otherwise I can just assume, somewhere in Japan.

Was the city everyone is active in right now named, or did I miss it? Or is it just kind of a generic city?

Mitsuko is also a cool looking character so far. I feel like she would be tough in a fight.

@Warning If you want her to meet up with Exzel in The Shore, by all means, feel free to drop in. Or take more time to figure it out, it's all good with me, either way.

I cannot answer your questions with anything approaching an authoritative response, because I don't know. However, it's not an annoying question. I'd say ask away. However, if you want to bring in Micori, I'm all for it. Exzel could find her and portal her to Earth at some point. I'm assuming they were friends or acquaintances at some point earlier if we go that route. Traveling and transporting is what Exzelcryth does after all. I was just waiting for you to get a good feel for what you wanted before checking with you about if you wanted me to write her in at some point. Just tell me you're ready and I can write her in, if that suits you.

Alright. I got Exzel out there now, in a fairly interesting dimensional nexus. Would make a great place to travel between worlds/dimensions/realities if we ever need that at any point. Otherwise, no worries, it's just out there in the multiverse. If some demon, monster or anyone that makes sense wants to pop in while she's there for a little conversation or anything, I'm fine with that. Zorn maybe, if he found a potal and he's there looking to recruit allies? Otherwise I'll get back to it eventually, and get her to Earth at some point. I'll be working a lot the next few days, not sure I'll have time to be around much, but we'll see. Maybe things will be slow.

The sun was starting to sink towards the horizon on The Shore. It's light bathing the walls of the giant sandcastle in slowly diminishing light. There was only the lightest of breezes bringing the smell of the sea to Exzelcryth as she sat on a balcony overlooking the beach. Not just a beach, The Shore. A pocket dimension, created long ago by some forgotten elder god. The Shore was a ring dimension, one long shoreline stretching until it circles around back upon itself, the sea one side of the ring, and just a bit of land the other, so as if one were to walk the beach, one could do so perpetually. Heading inland or out to sea too far, the dimension would distort your path and head you back to the shore. The Sandcastle, was the greatest structure on The Shore. Not a small sandcastle, but a full size castle made of sand. Built over many long decades by Sandarius ("Sandy" to his friends), the resident sand dragon. It was his pride and joy, finely crafted and solidified by ancient dragon magic. Boosted indefinitely by a ley line that ran entire length of, and sustained the ring dimension. The Sandcastle was the only hub of activity here, the balcony open air gave a magnificent view. Exzelcryth watched others walking below with slight amusement, light elves, shadow elves, a multitude of lesser demons and a few other humanoid wayfarers and dimensional travelers combing the beach. She could feel how thin the dimensional fabric was here. Whoever had made this place, had meant to make it easy to travel into and out of by magical means, she thought to herself. She had been traveling for many years since her lord, Gyumao the demon general had died fighting over another world far, far away. She had made good her escape as Gyumao's surviving forces splintered and retreated. Slipping away before any of his generals knew what happened. As far as they knew, she was dead along with him. That suited her, it was a big universe, a big multiverse. Being a Nexus Devil, she was a natural traveler, and had been enjoying the freedom for some time. Stumbling upon The Shore in her journeys, and was now quite enjoying her time. Only... there was only so much and so long one wanted to stay. Sandarius kept a fairly strict order here and one didn't want to end up on his bad side. Not that she wanted to stay here permanently anyways, but this make for a perfect getaway. However, she would need to siphon some energy from mortals eventually, to keep her strength. Exzelcryth straightened out her thin, black dress and crossed her legs, bare skin showing on the sides with high slits. She picked up her glass and drank the cool alcoholic beverage, and listened. At a table not far away some lesser demons were chatting, something about a downfall of another demon lord on a place called Earth. The way they talked the mortal population there was ripe for exploiting, save only for a few defenders of humanity there. Interesting. She continued to glean information as she nursed her drink. Yes, things sounded interesting indeed.

If she's not mistreated by her side this time, she'd be alright roughing up the good guys a bit now and then?

Alright, if you want her to know Exzel and have Exzel bring her in at some point, just say the word.

I may start a scene with Exzel off in some dimension and write a little bit about how she goes to earth. Just a little setting the scene background stuff to wet my feet before diving into something. If anyone wanted to join in for some kind of interaction eventually, would probably be cool.

@Warning If you wanted to bring in Micori, I had an idea I wanted to see what you thought. Was thinking Exzelcryth and Micori could have been acquainted in the past. Was thinking it would be cool if Exzel could summon her as a minion to send after the good guys at some point. Was just a thought, could explain how to bring her into the story. Let me know if you like the idea, or not. Either way. Then Exzel could meet with Zorn at some point and we can get the bad guys organized.

Exzelcryth is pretty equal opportunity. For RP purposes, I believe she'd wary of getting intimate with Zorn quickly, only because she does not want to become a slave to another demon lord again. Not saying, something couldn't happen eventually, but I think she'd be on guard at first. Like it'd have to be professional at first, and go from there. Otherwise she'd be out there exploiting the good guys and having as much fun as she could.

Regarding the tentacle question for Exzel, for clarification she might be apprehensive or horrified at some point even, if some hige tentacle monster is after her. I, as the writer may enjoy it. Exzelcryth may feel different of course if she's in control of the creature at first. So as the writer I'm okay with it, her feeling probably situational.

Sounds good. A little interaction at some point would be good. Meeting Zorn at some point sounds like a great start. Perhaps go between helping him out and doing her own thing, if the whim takes her? If there are other teams eventually, one thing she can do is travel easily. So that's a big plus.

I was feeling inspired and went ahead and posted a Demon character. No idea what I want to do story wise yet, but sounded fun.

Name: Exzelcryth Race: Nexus Demon Alias: Exzel, "X", Fujiko (a human persona) Gender: Female Age: 600 Hair: Black Eyes: Purple Height: 5'8" Short Bio: Exzelcryth is a Nexus Devil, a type of Demon with innate magical abilities to open portals to other places and dimensions. This makes them valuable as scouts, couriers, and transportation for Demon warbands, and unfortunately also targets for enslavement by Demon lords. Exzel had served as a slave bound to an ancient Demon lord Gyumaoh for centuries, however he was defeated some years ago, which left Exzel unbound and free for the first time in hundreds of years. Free to travel she has been wandering from plane to plane, planet to planet in search of "fun." Wary of becoming a target for any other Demon lord. Toying with mortals as she sees fit. Recently she's found earth and is eager to exploit it's bountiful resources. She does have the ability to shape change, often taking human form to blend in to their societies. Powers: great strength and endurance. Open, close and hijack magic portals, shape-shifting (e.g. human/Demon form, maybe more), Demon self regeneration. Some shadow magic. Orientation: Bi Devil form Human guise

Very detail oriented writer, knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, and a real joy to write to build sexy tension with. Highly recommended.

A pleasure to write with, easy going and adaptable, very capable at creating cute and sexy characters and situations.

Once or twice. Frankly, I don't have much time to play given my personal life commitments. That said, I did find it enjoyable. I tend to go for White and Green decks, either or, or both. I can't remember which, but I had a decent Angel commander at one point.

It is better, got the page up this time. But when I created an account and go to the page it's now telling me, "this action is unauthorized"

Not familiar, but I'm down with whatever works for everyone. Is this link working for anyone, I'm getting an error 403 "invalid signature," when I click on it.
