Fast forward to eleven and a half minutes. Sort of gives you what you want.

>>47489154
There is an update?

Hey, I'm going to post what I have with the Nishal/Iosha/Belloski story. It's not done, and it's not a lot. But it's what I've got. Let me know what you think.
______

In the days following, while Iosha labored on the ship, Nishal often found he had too much time on his hands. Sure, he ran errands for his friend when he could, but the stubborn artificer much preferred to work on her “baby” alone. Nishal was not offended. He knew she was proud of her work, and a fine work it was. She was right to be a tad protective of the inter-planar marvel. So instead, the leonin spent his time becoming acquainted with the winding streets of Ravnica. What a fascinating plane this was! Literally every street corner held a new oddity, every alley was a door to a new world. Each market held its own scents, sights, sounds, and cultures. The ten guilds all had their own unique take on existence, and while a fight between two or more guilds was not terribly uncommon, most conflicts ended quickly enough and (with Nishal’s occasional intervention) with no serious casualties to account for. It was marvelous, in its own way. The city itself seemed alive. And when Nishal was not wandering the streets, taking in the sights, he could always count on Del’s.

Del’s was an equally peculiar place. Full of small jokes, boisterous guests, and the finest cooking this side of Ravnica, it felt oddly secure and insulated to Nishal. If ever he wanted to escape the barely controlled insanity of the streets, he would take some time away from it all and just sit down to a fine bowl of soup make by his new planeswalker friend. This was one such evening.

>cont'd

>>47489244
The setting was calm. Del the weird was wiping down the counter, putting just the slightest touch of magic in his strokes. And Nishal was lounging tranquilly in a booth, legs outstretched and arms tucked comfortably behind his head. For the moment, no one else was in the small shop. Nishal had nearly drifted off to sleep, when a bell chime nudged him awake. It was only the doorbell. Someone had come into the shop at this late evening hour.

“Evenin’, stranger! Welcome to Del’s,” the weird bellowed cheerfully. Nishal could hear Del lumber out from behind the counter to greet the new guest.

The leonin yawned and stretched, his gaping lion’s maw showing off his deadly fangs. He scratched behind an ear and peered out at the stranger with a weary eye. The figure was heavily cloaked, so Nishal could not quite make out its features. But the long reptilian tail poking out from behind its robes was a dead giveaway that he could rule out any humanoid race. The stranger nodded to Del, the big weird eagerly welcoming him.

“Normally I don’t take new customers at such a late hour, but I’ve got a good feeling about you, friend!” Del reached out with a "hand" to grasp the stranger's, and shook it warmly.

>cont'd

>>47489261
‘There he goes again’, Nishal thought, ‘buttering up the guests. Making them feel at home.’ He smiled and chuckled to himself. Del was a most excellent salesman. The weird released the stranger’s half-gloved hand.

“So my friend, what can I do for you?”

The figure cocked its head, regarding Del for a moment. Then he spoke, and with a voice like layered velvet.

“Oh, nothing much I’m afraid, ‘friend’,” he purred. “Actually, I’ve come to your fine…establishment seeking that one yonder.” The cloaked man raised a hand (or was that a claw?), and motioned to Nishal.

“Though,” here he paused a moment, cocking his head another way. Nishal couldn’t help but think of a bird regarding its prey. “Perhaps when our business is concluded, I will…peruse your wares. Perhaps even bargain you some for my own?”

Del seemed a tad taken aback. But, ever the salesman and host, he quickly regained his composure.
“Very well, stranger. But be mindful you are a guest in my shop. Don’t ya be makin’ a mess or anything. I’ve almost got this place ordered again after a long day’s work! And besides, my colleague can certainly handle himself iff’n you feel like causing trouble.” Del turned to Nishal, and the cat nodded back to him, signaling that he did not mind speaking to this new mysterious guest. Even if the odd reptile did send the slightest of chills down his spine.

And so Del returned to his work, cleaning the counters and organizing stock. The reptilian came to greet Nishal. And the leonin stood, meeting him a few steps out from the booth. If this stranger was in fact intent on causing trouble, Nishal would rather be on his feet than on his haunches. The cat outstretched a paw, and shook hands with the man.

“I suppose it is good to meet you,” Nishal started. “and I’m sure, since you sought me out, that you are already acquainted with my name. But what may I call you…sir?”

>cont'd

>>47489271
Nishal was not sure how, but somehow he knew the hooded figure was smiling when he spoke. He gently covered Nishal’s paw with his other scaled hand, grasping it firmly between the two, and replied with quiet intent.

“My name I prefer to use at little as possible, if you don’t mind. For you see, I have many competitors, many rivals whom I would rather not know my day-to-day activities. You understand, yes? There’s a good lad.” Here the sly fellow patted the cat’s paw almost reassuringly. “But for the moment, you may call me Mr. Merchant. A simple enough title to remember. And I’m sure you’ll do well to remember it.” Was that a threat? Nishal genuinely was not sure. He began to protest, but-

“Shall we sit?” The creature gestured to the booth, interrupting Nishal before he began. The leonine did not move, but simply looked at the merchant. He peered under the hood, trying to see this myserious benefactor’s face. But, whether due to poor lighting or a slight enchantment, Nishal could make out nothing but shadow.

“Please. The booth. I’m an old man, and I’m so very tired,” Mr. Merchant hummed. Nishal sighed and sat. The lizard took his perch across from him. There was an uneasy silence before Nishal began negotiations.

“Enough exposition. Why have you sought me out? A merchant is one who buys and trades wares. Is there something I have that you want?” Nishal was a tad defensive. But who could blame him? Mr. Merchant was being far from forthright and quite frankly the leonine was starting to get annoyed.

>fin

Welp. That's what I have so far. Thought?

I'm thinking of making a flake plane and a new flake race... Anyone want to help build this for some good concepts and flavor?

I like the idea of blue skinned Devils and Demons.

>>47489320
Djin from tarkir. Use them.

>>47489320
Sounds like you should take some influence from rakshasa. Maybe read a little bit of K6BD for inspiration.

>>47489357
Can Djinn have sparks though? I thought they were magics being's that weren't actually born.

>>47489406
Tarkir djinn and efreets appear to be born.

This is basically the MTG lore thread right? Only slightly more faggy?

I have a question about the multiverse: how knowledgeable are the people of Dominaria on the existence of planeswalkers? I imagine if you asked any experienced mage there about planeswalkers they'd reply "fuck those guys".

>>47489568
There should be actual MTG lore thread too.

>>47489568
Faggier by a multitude of ten. If anything, we need more basic discussion of the lore in this thread to ask these questions.

There's no evidence anywhere but if there is any plane where planeswalkers are (relatively) common knowledge, Dominaria would be it. Your average civilian is likely to be ignorant but even the wise man of a town in Dominaria is likely to be aware and on watch for mysterious strangers carrying the motifs of foreign cultures and wielding strange magic.

>>47489568
These threads ignore the lore to a startling degree, unfortunately.
That said, Dominaria would likely be one of two planes most likely to find someone who knows of planeswalkers (and other planes of existence). The common man would likely not know, nor the common mage either, but the learned would likely know of those who caused the many disasters that wracked the plane, of the Invasion centuries ago, etc. Of course, this is assuming that we're speaking post-mending, when people can actually live and not spend every day just trying to survive.
The other plane would be Kamigawa, specifically the moonfolk of Kamigawa, what with Tamiyo telling them all about everything.

>>47489289
Not bad. I'm digging how you do Belloski. He seems suitably conniving and arrogant.

If they animated Avacyn's death they'd do the Elfen Lied thing where Sorin has a short, silent imagine sequence of a life where he never became a vampire and he and Avacyn lived a normal, happy life as humans as he watches her turn to ash.

I feel you, references to things I haven't watched don't really bother me but I'm still far from over this, her death was super fucking sad, regardless of whether you waifu'd her or not it's really sad to see such a pure and noble character go out like that.

>>47497606
Okay, you got me, that's one of the thoughts that will destroy my mood, if WotC genuinely does something like that I will be so mad I'll probably just stop playing. Thanks anon.

>"She's the hero Innistrad deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So they'll hunt her. Because she can take it. Because she's not our hero. She's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark angel." - Thalia, Guardian of Thraben

>>47497606

That's something I don't think Sorin will allow, even if he is probably going to be dead inside after Eldritch Moon's events.

It is going to be hard for the angels, though, after Nahiri forced them to betray the once-absolute trust humanity had for them. I'm curious if Gisela and Bruna would be able to speak on Avacyn's behalf when they regain their senses or if they have to die, too. Gisela was Avacyn's only real friend, from what I remember.

I do hope Innistrad and the angels somehow survive all this shit, though, and that we're not sacing the plane to make up for Zendikar's incredibly unlikely salvation.

>>47498422
If this came to be it would be hilariously dumb, I think WotC sorely underestimates the depth of religious belief that has been ingrained for millennia. People in the real world are willing to kill themselves for a god that has no presence, I don't believe that people would give up on an material god that not only gave them strength but would answer their prayers in person over even this event.

>>47498469
All the lore from the original block states that the angels were amazingly ineffectual without Avacyn, it was even said that they cannot remain long in areas without Avacyn's wards else they lose their resolve and much of their strength which is why there's never many in Stensia. If Avacyn is to stay dead they either need a massive amount of retconning or pull some serious bullshit to explain how Innistrad can function at all. If indeed Innistrad survives.

Anyway, I'm going to bed, it's 6am.

>>47498593
The dark knight one is silly
but if Avacyn isn't restored in someway, people will forget the good she did within a generation because horrific amounts of murder leave more of an impression.

>>47499049

I feel like Innistrad's population is going to be fairly desensitized to that shit by now. Literally everything on the plane does horrific amounts of murder, including humans against other humans.

>>47499049
I'm going to make one more post from bed because this annoys me. That level of religious indoctrination doesn't just go away in one generation, the entirety of Innistrad's structure is built around her and the church and there are immortal beings to remind people of who she really was. Unless for some reason all the angels also forsake her there's no way Innistrad will remember her for those actions, her actions as The Purifier didn't even stretch across even most of Innistrad. She'll be remembered as their Angel of Hope or I'll be so fed up with the constant grimdark bullshit I'll just write the whole block off as not worth thinking about.

I don't seem to have an Avacyn on my phone so have second best angel instead.

>>47499097
Wait, if their goddess turned on them
will they trade their tricorn hats in for Fedoras the next set?

>>47499370
Hey, your phone must have messed up because that's not Sigarda
Also, they'll probably never really trust angels again after this incident.

>>47498422
Omg. I want this. It's perfect.

>>47498469
>have to die, too. Gisela was Avacyn's only real friend, from what I remember.
For real? Where was that stated? Were they buddies? I thought from what Sigarda said, Avacyn was as far-removed from the angels as the angels were from humans.

>>47499521

http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/planeswalkers-guide-avacyn-restored-part-1-2012-04-11

>Gisela, the leader of Flight Goldnight, was devastated in the aftermath of Avacyn's disappearance. Gisela was one of the few witnesses to the battle between Avacyn and Griselbrand. She had been the archangel's confidant, closest ally, and strongest sword. And when she watched Griselbrand strike Avacyn with a killing blow and trap her in the Helvault, Gisela experienced emotions she'd never felt before: fear, helplessness, and despair.

This does imply some interesting things, namely that Avacyn wasn't just robotic if she confided in Gisela, and also that the thought of losing Avacyn hurt Gisela in a way that the death of her sister centuries before did not.

So I think it's safe to say Gisela and Avacyn's bond was special, while Sigarda admired Avacyn but kept her distance.

>>47499728
Fuck you stop it. My dick can only get so hard.

>>47499603
>the killing blow
But isn't Avacyn indestructible?

>>47499882
All indestructible means is that you don't die when you get struck by a killing blow.
Which is why trample gets through indestructible creatures.
Also Gisela and Avacyn lesbian time?

>>47499961
Well, they aren't related like the other angels, since Avacyn is born of a different light, soooo....It's not incest.

But in all seriousness, I would never defile them like that.

How would I go about making a griffon flake?

>>47500002
figure out why the fuck it's sentient first, because griffons are /not/, and thus cannot traditionally be walkers.
Maybe have it originally be a nayan leonin that achieved pseudo-angelhood from bant magic to become something of a sentient griffon?

>>47500002
Please pick something that naturally has more intelligence.

>>47500002
Griffon comes from a plane where Griffons are sapient and gets really pissed off that everyone assumes they are a mindless beast.
>>47499983
But that's the best part, you wouldn't be defiling them
they'd do that to each other

>>47500114
But I'd be enjoying it with my mind. And that is wrong. Let the dead rest, I say.

>>47500135
A great man once said that no one is truly dead as long as someone is jerking it to a fantasy of them having lesbian sex. Or something like that.
By not touching yourself, you're killing Avacyn again
why do you hate her so much?

Yo. Not sure if you're interested or not, but I thought of a way to incorporate >>47471314 into her story without seeming trashy, erp, or out of character. And it's a way to not only finish her story, but return it to her "motherhood theme" roots and bring it to a full circle ending. I can then finally put that flake to rest while still having a rounded story.

>>47500603
Sssshh....

>>47500698
But that doesn't make it as fun as Gaia just wanting to get out there and not caring about her past life at all.

>>47500603
>Vronak sometimes summons Avacyn outside of battle just to hug her and tell her it's going to be alright.
>This is mostly for him though and it just confuses the mana construct.

>>47500831
But her not caring at all is not in character for her. At the time she forged her plane (and throughout its existence) she was pretty much caring incarnate.

>>47500932
And through that she just used up all of her fucks.
kidding aside, I will respect whatever characterization gaia-anon wants to give her.

>>47500831
Also, fun was never a part of her narrative. It was all about sacrifice, balance, responsibility, motherhood, and tragedy.

>>47500942
You're right that this is the event that finally breaks her (feeling every soul she ever birthed die one by one all the while the plane and her soul are literally wrent assunder), but it does not break her in such a way that she becomes a carefree slut.

>>47500987
Then don't make her a carefree slut, she wants to use the new experiences and parties as a way to forget.
But maybe not every bit of characterization needs to be followed with "woe is me"
Have Gaia slip into Nihilism after feeling that, but the "Hey, this world is completely arbitrary time for adventure." instead of depression.

>>47500919
I know that's what I would do if I could summon an Avacyn, just hug the construct and maybe sob into her wings and ask her why it had to be this way.

>>47501117
It's not necessarily "woe is me", bit I do think some sort of major depression would be appropriate. Tragedy has always been one of those key things to the character's story. For example, even her ascension had her die in battle and then be denied access to the halls of the dead.

>>47500698

>>47504365
Calling what you're writing an 'epic' sets up high expectations that you may not live up to.

Agreed. Maybe just call it a long-winded writefagging. There's a reason why we call these write"fagging". Same reason why all flakes are equally shit.

>>47504326
I wasn't actually planning a writefagging, but this is basically the outline I had in mind:
_________

As I said before, the loss of Gaia’s plane utterly broke her. Throughout her long life, she had seen much and been through strife before. But losing her greatest creation, feeling every last soul she had ever birthed die one by one, feeling the pocket of space-time that her very essence had been woven into collapse, and then at last watching her long lost husband (who was responsible for the tragedy) fade away into nothing destroyed her will to live. (Not to mention she had finally been affected by the Mending)

She wanders the planes aimlessly for a short while, adrift and devastated. She eventually finds herself in the kind of place where people who have nothing else left and nothing to live for wind up. I’m not entirely sure what this place is or where it is, so you can adlib that yourself (as well as what sort of things happen there). But I was picturing some kind of opium den, where people go to blast their brains with drugs and hedonism until they can’t think anymore. She spends most of her time here in a semi-conscious stupor. As I said in the other post, her behavior is inherently self-destructive, and she really doesn’t want to exist anymore. But due to a habit of living or other reasons (such as Eldar souls are immortal and killing herself will probably not end her pain, it would just end her physical form), won't just up and off herself.

>cont'd

>>47506587
And it is in this pit of despair and depravity that her final son, Belagir, finds her (whether this is by chance or intentional I will leave to your imagination). For those who don’t know, Belagir is native to Gaia’s realm, and was the only person living at the time of its collapse that had the capacity to ascend. So when the plane was destroyed, his spark ignited and he planeswalked away before he was consumed by the dying realm. Pic related is his sheet for reference.

Though he had never met Gaia in a physical form before, he knew the sound of her voice and the look of her face from his dreams back home (for she often spoke to him in that way, or sang to him in his dreams, as any mother singing her child to sleep might do). Belagir has a gentle heart, and he could not bear to see the mother of his realm and his very soul in such a state. So he took her away from there, and back to the small house where he had been staying. The elderly man who owned the house (a man whom Belagir had befriended) recognized the look of concern on the young bard’s face and admitted Gaia to stay with them. When the old man asked, Belagir told him she was his mother. Keep in mind, Gaia is probably barely conscious this whole time, because ridiculous amounts of opiates can do that to a person.

>>47506596
Belagir sets up a small and clean room in the house for Gaia to rest in. He spends much of his time there, caring for his ailing mother. He plays his harp and sings to her. He hums the same lullabies he used to sing to the trees and the stars back home, and through these songs he sorrowfully remembers his dead plane. But Gaia’s recovery does not go smoothly. On good days, she tosses and turns constantly, muttering words Belagir can’t understand. But between the pains of withdrawal and the music she once knew as the World Core, terrible memories, vivid and strong, come flooding unbidden into her mind. Death is all she can see, all she can hear.

She does not sleep through the nights, and screams things in old dead languages that the other residents of the house cannot understand. And on some nights her screams just turn into desperate sobs, begging anyone or anything for the substances that had numbed her mind before. Anything to not remember the images of death. She is an utterly pathetic sight, and a far cry from the immense being she once was. If you’ve ever seen The Last Samurai, remember that scene where Tom Cruise’s character is withdrawaling from alcohol and keeps having ptsd flashbacks of his previous battles? I imagine something similar to that.

>cont'd

Yeah, I'll continue this in a few minutes. But I have to run some errands to the store real quick.

>>47499961

I do find it interesting that Avacyn and Gisela are particularly close while Avacyn and Sigarda were not, and I like that it ties into the secondary colors well.

Sigarda admires Avacyn, but at the same time she is W/G, and even though she's in the right when they do come into conflict she does keep her distance for the very W/G reason "she's not like us."

Gisela, on the other hand, is W/R, and so while the other angels looked up to Avacyn it was possible only Gisela really tried to empathize with her instead of putting her on a pedestal but recognizing she was not like the rest of them.

It probably won't be touched on in the actual lore, but I just like the notion that Gisela might have been the angel Avacyn confided in, and her closest ally in the angelic hosts, simply because she was the only one of the sisters that thought Avacyn needed a friend.

>>47506635
That makes some sense, actually. It makes me wonder how Bruna saw Avacyn, then.

>>47507184
Something great that she aspired to become and to understand, more likely than not. If Gisela was a friend and Sigarda was a colleague, Bruna was likely a student.

>>47507296
So then, did the last sister see her as a rival?

Do you think that sister joined with the demon lord because she was threatened by Avacyn and wanted to remove her? After all, before Avacyn came along the BW angel reigned. She was the greatest of their number and their leader.

>>47507330
Maybe she was Tsundere for Avacyn

>>47507330
It would fit her part of the color pie.

Black's unlikely to see anyone more powerful than it as anything other than one of two things:
>A source of power for itself.
>A threat.

Alright. I have created a new plane, race, and flake to go along with it.

Tell me what you all think.

Too many accented letters. It's just a stylistic issue for me but it really strikes me as a little too try-hard and usually results in uncertainty regarding pronunciation. It helps that you actually lay out the pronunciation but I'd still find it more pleasant if you went for something easier.
From an originality stand-point, I'd appreciate if there were a few more physical features of appearance to differentiate them from elves aside from the tails and the different coloration.
In what matter do they 'intake molecules?' I couldn't find where this was actually described. I'd like to know this before I go into semantics about their state of flux.
So this species is aware of the existence of planes and the Multiverse? Why is this? Most planeswalkers go out of their way to keep the Multiverse a secret.

The plane itself is reasonable, my main issues lie with the species that you have created. You also haven't mentioned any history or culture they possess beyond their worship of mana and 'planar identities.' My issue with your species extends to your planeswalker, as they seem to be a caricature of the species with nothing to make them particularly unique or apart from the rest of their people.

Monored.

He's angry and he likes to fight. He doesn't genuinely care about gaining anything for himself, obtaining knowledge or perfection, maintaining the balance or even protecting his people. He fights because he fights because fuck you, he'll piss blood in your mouth if you don't shut up.

>>47507956
You deserve to be called out on it though, Chillbrass. Stop hiding behind something no one else agreed to. You have no right to whine about what someone else makes when you make nothing and you just complain about the same things over and over. -_-

You haven't earned the right to ask that question, Chillbrass. :3

>>47508063
Right, I respectfully request that you take my flake, Jorge, out of your flake story.
I will not consider anything you write about him to be canon.

>>47507883
They "eat" any matter through their mouths just like most living beings, however they don't have a digestive system. In the back of their throat they have an intricate system that breaks down matter to it's base molecules and distributes them throughout their body as needed on a priority structure.

In turn, they don't actually bleed when wounded. They discrete a clear steam from the wounds as their body's temperature increases around injured areas while it's trying to heal itself. And another fun fact, they cannot produce sweat or produce tears.

And being a culture that worships mana, leylines, planes, and Æther, when any of their kind have ascended to a planeswalker, they have eventually returned to their home plane to enlighten their people about everything they have experienced and learned. And begin teaching everyone of these things.

And beyond pigment colors and gender, they are all quite the same as they are at a point in their evolution that they will more than likely not evolve any further due to reaching the penical of their race. And they have been able to phase out all defects in their genetics. So, more or less they are all the same.

>>47507909

Continuing this now.

_______

It should be noted that Gaia does not recognize Belagir (who remains vigilant) this entire time. But after one particularly rough night, a night that the bard had spent his best efforts trying to console her, Gaia quieted. She reached up and gently touched Belagir’s face. “My son…” she said, tears welling in her eyes, before drifting off to sleep.

The next morning when Belagir woke, Gaia was sitting over him, stroking his hair. Though her face was drawn, her eyes red from tears and rimmed with dark circles, she smiled at him lovingly.

“My last son,” she said warmly “joy of my life; savior of my heart; remnant of me; you are the only abiding thing I have ever created. The only enduring good I have wrought. You bring light to everything you touch. I could not be more proud of you.”

>>47508285
And so Gaia began down her road to recovery. She spent many days with her son and his elderly friend, living quietly for a time. And even though she knew she would never fully recover from the loss of her plane, she found a sort of contentedness there. But as the days drew on, Belagir grieved also, and she saw he tried to stay strong for her. She realized that he could not move on while she was there. She had to let him go. So one day when they were alone she told him:

“My dear son, you cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do. Your part in this story will go on. But my part has come to its end.”

You can imagine the sappy fallout that happens from Belagir, so I won’t go into detail. Suffice it to say he is distraught, but his mom convinces him that he needs to move on. “While it is important to never forget the past, it is equally important to not dwell on it.”

>>47508307
“While it is important to never forget the past, it is equally important to not dwell on it. You helped me remember this.”

Anyway, so she prepares to say her goodbyes to her son and his friend. But before she goes, she makes one final parting gift for him. While most of her creation powers withered with the Mending, she does retain a spark of her former talents. She creates a single seed. It is a very special seed that could one day bloom into a very special tree. When she presents it to Belagir, he immediately recognizes what it is. It’s the seed to a Dream Tree, a kind of sentient tree that was native to Gaia’s Realm. These trees would start out as any other, but they would grow up hearing the dreams of the living creatures that lived around them. In time, the tree develops a kind of consciousness of its own, and some say it even grows a soul. On Belagir’s home plane, they were thought of as guardians and spirit guides, and entire communities would spring up around them. (pic related is a dream tree)

He gapes in disbelief at her gift and as she gently places it in his hand.

“I trust your judgement,” she says. “You will know who needs it when the time comes.”

And with that kisses him on the forehead goodbye and is gone.

>cont'd
I'm still typing the rest. Give me a minute.

>>47508094
That's relatively interesting, although it can still be described as 'eating food,' as you describe them as using their mouths to consume molecules, which could be considered their food. You could word it more succinctly if you describe it as a lack of a digestive system rather than a lack of eating food. It was vague enough that I wasn't sure precisely what you meant at least.

I'm afraid the most damning part is that this race would be far more interesting if they had an appearance that was as alien as their biology. As it is, they seem like little more than extremely colourful elves with tails and superpowers which is enough to put me off on a thematic level. I understand that you're working with art and it's hard to find art for something stranger looking but subjectively, I don't find the race you've made to be compelling. Especially since there's still zero detail about the other creatures that inhabit the world, the various cultures of the world, the history of the world or the current events. There's so many interesting things you could explore but you just seem to be using it as a platform for this species I don't see the appeal of.

But allow me to guess. You're going to writefag about the rest of the world after you're done with your epic, right?

>>47508352
So, Des, what do you think so far?

>>47508380
No, I don't plan on a writefagging for this plane or the race/character at this moment. Maybe, you never know. But, it's also a platform for others to expand upon. If peeps want to create a character from this plane, or planeswalk to this plane. Feel free to expand upon the platform.

I was just taking a break from writing the same long winded story.

>>47508539
Thanks for the offer but I'm not interested enough in what's been presented to expend effort expanding on it. I'm curious about what someone else would be able to do with but I've already said my criticism of the Not!Elves and that's why I won't touch it.

With nowhere else left, Gaia sought out the plane of her birth, Arda. To her surprise, she found it still existed, even after all these years. Though it had changed greatly, its essence was the same. She reunited with her home plane and willed her spirit from her body (as all Eldar are capable of doing). There, in the spirit realm, she at last returned to the Gates of Mandos. Her spirit stood in the exact same place where her spark had first ignited so very long ago, after being told she could not enter the Halls of Mandos due to her part in the First Kinslaying. But here at last, millennia later, Mandos declared that her penance for those crimes had finally been paid. The Doom of Mandos that hung over her head was lifted. And she was at last admitted into the realms of the resting, reunited with all of her fallen kin from so long ago.

And that is how Gaia’s story ends. It comes full circle and she is at peace. Forever scarred and never forgetting, but at peace nonetheless.

>Fin

Welp. There you have it. I can finally put this flake away. Questions, thoughts, concerns?

>>47508352
I think no one who lives around a Dream Tree should ever watch A Nightmare on Elm Street before going to bed. o__o

But, I absolutely love the arc. And I want to see how different dreams/nightmares could affect the growth of a Dream Tree and how it would be changed, both physically and metaphysically.

And now I want to read what is in store for Gaia next. :3

Hey guys, glad to see we're a bit more productive today. I've got a few hours before my GURPS game so if anyone had any ideas I could start writing something and finish it tomorrow. If not I'm happy to just sit around and procrastinate.

If you want, you can use my new plane and race for any writefagging that you might want. You can take any liberties with expanding on the lore of the two as much as you want if you so choose to write about them.

>>47509037
Biggest issue I can see with that is I have no idea how to even make half the accents and symbols used when typing, I'm slow enough of a writer already.

>>47509091
You don't have to use the accents. It's not like they can be confused with any other words.

Think like when people type Pokemon instead of Pokémon. :3

Immediately the first thing that I can see as a possible cause for conflict is that if people can will creatures into existence then sufficiently devoted cults/organisations could create powerful beings.

>>47509510
Indubitably. And being a two way street, this could easily turn into a war over territory that might have a more potent flow of mana, or over the ideals that somethings are too sacred to create while others abuse the ability, or even that some groups create living beings that cannot properly live and are suffering just by existing, while those people do experiments with these concepts. And others think this is not right to make creatures suffer, while those who are doing the experiments don't believe their creations should be perceived as living creatures and are only tools to be used.

It sucks that I can't make them from Ravnica; it is one of my favorite planes (and I initially started collecting around the first trip to Rav) but in this case the guild system really doesn't work for the character idea I have in mind.

I am actually thinking of making them from Alara, a Vedalken Aethermage exploring for the sphinxes, liking the wilds of Naya too much and would most likely have been labeled a heretic if it weren't for their spark igniting.

Just need to work on some planes visited... And figure out what they are doing now.

imo tradition is PRIMARY green; white will change tradition to protect everyone, where with green if you're breaking tradition you're gonna die, probably not by the hands of your group but by the fact that the tradition you're breaking has been keeping everyone alive for all time.

BR is an extreme of individualism. It's both freedom and a selfish amorality, which tends to lead to hedonism. It also shares more brutish destructive elements than any other two color combination. It shouldn't be surprising that such characters enjoy killing others, even for as petty of a reason as their own amusement.

Am I right in thinking that planeswalkers have an autotranslate packaged with their sparks saving whatever language the eldrazi might have had.

>>47516952
As far as we're aware, yes.

>>47516952
Hard to say. If anyone has read the books (because I have read only the ones for the Ravnica blocks), they might have noticed whether or not beings of different races have spoken words that Planeswalkers didn't immediately understand. It's pretty common, for example, that most races in a plane speak a common tongue; however non-humans also commonly have their own language.

>>47517902
Everybody, list the flakes that you would waifu.

Or husbando, if that's your preference.

>>47518069
Makes sense, I guess. I wonder why it made more noise than others, since it's not the only interesting flake on that sheet. I guess that's just how it went.

>>47518283
Just going down the list, but:

Inzhu
Confidant
Selenra
Belloski
Cala
Del
Nishal
Gaia
Hasomaru
The Messenger

I can't remember enough newer flakes. It's times like this we need an updated flake sheet.

>>47518211
>that bio

Well that got weird.

>>47518300
I mean, a big part of it is just whether or not a flake's creator is active in the threads.

>>47518283
Dyna if she were normal sized.

>>47518283
Ginger
Catin
Cala
Anna is mine so that would be weird
Eris
Ariadne
Deka
Xaniphe
Razorcock

>>47518370
Well he is basically DOOMGUY so I figured his entire bio being dedicated to him murdering his way across the multiverse was appropriate.

>>47518420
Ah, I was wondering that at the "rip and tear" part.
The thing is, the first bit where they thought they died and were fighting their way out of hell was so unique and cool that it makes everything after it kinda boring and, honestly, is wasted on the heavy reference and diuted by the "more of the same" that follows it up.

>>47518349
>updated flake sheet.
Working on it.

>>47518462
I should probably rewrite it with that in mind, but my thing was he probably wouldn't be fighting through the furnace layer for a year and even though he wasn't in hell, the year had been one continuous nightmare for him so when he got back to Innistrad, he set down his crossbow for all of five seconds before an evil angel dive bombed him and he beat her head against a wall as he was desperately trying not to be skewered.

Diomedes is a lot of things, but beatable is not one right? He's just below Nico Bolas in raw power. Trick-able though, very easy. He's the ultimate min maxed fighter. Dude isn't even literate I thought.

Some more Anna stories, though I don't know if anyone reads these

Anna kept her eyes on the dragon, trying to look impassive as she could given what he was about to pay her. “I did the job, Belloski,” she said, she had dressed up as a Wojek halberdier to commit some good old fashioned police brutality for the dragon to record and then sell on some novel artifacts he had come across. “Where's my payment.”
“I asked for brutality,” Belloski replied, “something to make for good watching, your treatment of the gateless was hardly cruel, even if the punishment was unusual.”
“I'm not going to kill anyone for this, Dragon.” she said, stepping forward. “I roughed up that evangel enough for whatever your purposes might be.”
He gave a tsk “Half payment for half a job done, and this is me being generous by not giving the Boros a picture of the woman who spent half a day impersonating them and hitting member of the conclave.” He must have seen that she was about to object. “The plane your coat comes from is Asimdea,” he chuckled as Anna turned away to leave the room before calling in a mocking tone, “pleasure doing business with you.”
“The feeling's not mutual.” She called back before gathering mana and launching herself through the blind eternities.
1/?

>>47519097
2/?

She didn't set forth for the plane right away, but got the coat she had landed on the farm years ago refit so she could wear it comfortable and cleaned. She didn't want Belloski to know where her homeplane might be, so she pretended that she had taken it off of another walker and was curious, but Anna knew better then to underestimate the dragon. She meditated on the name she had and tried to stir any memories she might have. Then it came to her to try and tap the oldest mana bonds she had, the fonts of blue mana she had pulled on when she fought off the rogue mage that year she had spent Marion and Eustace. Anna centered herself and focused on those bonds, trying to picture the land they were connected to. A seaside market came into view, the smell of the ocean filled the room, and the sounds of seagulls along with general hustle and bustle echoed off of the walls.
The first thing Anna was aware of was the sun coming down on her body, the second was screaming and the sounds of battle. Her eyes shot open and tried to get up from her sitting postion but stumbled into a stall before she could gain her footing. “What are you doing here?” an armored man yelled at her as he rounded a corner. “are you drunk?”
She pushed herself up to a standing position. “What's going on?” She figured it would be best to act like she was disoriented and stumbled a little for effect.
“What do you think is going on?” He yelled and ran to her, grabbing her arm, swearing something indistinct under his breath. He then swore rather loudly when plodding of wet footsteps proceeded some hideous merfolk stalking into view. “Come on,” he urged before getting clipped with a javelin and falling to the ground swearing in pain.

>>47519117
3/5 maybe
“I take it that those are bad guys,” she said making sure the armored man was still alive.
“Two of the soft ones,” she heard one of their assailants say, “I'll bring them to the lord, you go and get more land dwellers.” More plodding moving away from their position as Anna pretended to not to pay attention. A clammy hand grabbed her by the should and threw her to the ground, she rolled over on her back to see the merfolk holding his trident in a threatening way and making gutteral noises at her.
“I know you're not going to kill us,” Anna bluffed, trying to make some connections to use her magic, “you want to imprison us, right?” Unless 'Bring to the lord' was a euphemism, she really hoped it was.
“How dare you speak our tongue you dirty beast!” The merfolk seemed outraged that he could understand her and hefted his trident as if to actually attack her but a bolt of electricity erupting from Anna's hand struck first and left the merfolk motionless on the ground.
“It's a gift,” she told the corpse and got up, pulling the armored man to his feet, “are you going to survive?”
“Luckily they didn't hit anything too vital,” he told her still holding his side, “how could you speak with them?”
“Gift, move on,” she excused, figuring that was easier than explaining her spark helped in such matters. “I don't think it was luck, the dearly departed here said something about a lord.” She looked around the area, realizing how much of a mess it was in and how she didn't know where she was. “Do you know how to get out of here?”
“Y-yeah, but if they are taking people, we need to go to the captain and let him know.” Anna groaned at that comment, it always became harder the more people you helped.

>>47519166
4/5
“Fine, just point the way and try not to get use near any of those things.” She told him and supported him as they creeped along the alleys, only for Anna to emerge with the man's sword when they happened upon merfolk accosting people. Eventually skulking was no longer an option for the merry band of civilains and armored soldiers, so they took the most direct route they could find with Anna summoning the creatures she found on Innistrad to serve as initial attacks for whatever merfolk they met. The thirty odd people eventually reached the encampment on the outside of town and Anna let her creatures fade back into the aether. “Good job on not getting near those things, by the way,” she told the armored man, who she learned was named Johan.
“We couldn't let innocents be attacked, and that strange magic you used was helpful. Where did you learn it?”
“Somewhere far far away, doesn't matter now,” she told him to avoid bringing up the whole multiverse subject, “now where's your captain?”
“Come with me,” he told her and the two of them made their way to the captain's tent. Johan made his way in first and started talking with what sounded like a woman inside, asking where the captain was and she responded that he'd gone into the city on a rescue operation. There was silence and then more talking before Johan poked his head outside “Come in, I need you to tell her what you told me.”

It's nice that we've gotten some writefagging this thread in the form of actual posts.

>>47519214
5/5
“I don't see why you can't say it,” Anna said and walked into the tent “hey, acting-captain, anyway... we got attacked by some merfolk, those monsters, and one talked about bringing us to his lord before sending the others off to find more prisoners.” Anna spent most of the time she was talking looking around the room before finally settling her eyes on the woman she was supposed to be talking to. The acting-captain had light brown hair in a bun, was a bit shorter than Anna, and looked like she had just seen a ghost. “Are you alright?” Anna asked and the woman jumped over the table that seperated the two before catching Anna in a hug that the task mage reflexively returned.
“Nikita! I thought you were dead,” the phrase was somewhere between cheering and crying as the young woman didn't release her grip, “there was the explosion and no one could find you and then we had a funeral and I had to take over and then everything fell apart and then Ulub took over and then and then,” the woman fell to Anna's knees crying as she released her grip and Anna bent down to get on her level. “I missed you so much, Nikita.”
“Sorry I was gone,” she said pulling the woman into a hopefully comforting hug, “I- I couldn't remember who I was.” She decided telling the truth was better than dancing around it since she was doing plenty of that already.
The woman pulled away from Anna with tear stained eyes. “D-do you remember who you are now?”
“Not in the slightest,” Anna said simply and used her thumbs to wipe away the tears, “but we've got a potential town full of prisoners for whatever lord is up here. If my memories are still here, they'll wait a little while longer.” She helped the acting-captain up off the floor, seemed to be a recurring theme for her trip to this plane. “You're,” she motioned for the acting-captain to give her name.
“Hina Torgal,” she said, composing herself.

>>47524959
This is why I dislike the story so much, I just can't see why Sorin would ever do this, he'd be so much more likely to just leave and fight Nahiri to see if that fixed her if he couldn't do it himself. He went from 'I want to help you' to 'Actually, you can be destroyed' in about ten seconds, the whole storyline is shoddy and grimdark, I fucking hate it.

>>47524959
> fix
She couldn't be fixed. As it was an outside source that was driving her crazy. So, if she was "fixed", then she'd just be driven crazy again.

>>47525022
Well if he needed the other Vampire's help to fight Nahiri, he would either need to fix Avacyn long enough he can just shove her in the vault and let her out once this blows over or kill her.
Plus, lets say he gets their help to fight Nahiri and her army, Avacyn might come to intervene and then they would have that drama as she's attacking the vampires trying to save Innistrad.

>>47525097

It still infuriates me that Sorin's entire species is too retarded to stop fiddling while Rome burns unless he bribes their dumb asses into saving the plane they FUCKING LIVE ON.

If anything, INN and SOI have proved that Sorin's greatest mistake was assuming there was any merit to the continued existence of his kind.

>>47525097
So instead he lets in what she's holding back? We're told that Sorin is supposed to be smart, I find it hard to believe that if that was the case that he'd not know that Nahiri was planning to bring in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

>>47525116
Yes, they refuse to help save their plane and their condition for helping is that Sorin kills the being that stops their plane from being destroyed by themselves and outside threats. It's like a giant whirlpool of stupid, either the plane gets destroyed because they won't help or it gets destroyed because they demand Avacyn die for them to help. This block makes my head hurt.

>>47525022
I was personally hoping he'd use his mind magic (which he is stated to have and is an offshoot to his sangromancy) to put her in an induced stasis/coma at the bottom of the vault. Then, when he was in her head, he'd see images of the eldritch abomination she had been holding back. He'd realize exactly what was happening and go face Nahiri. Avacyn would've disappeared, so Olivia would think she's dead. Then when all is said and done, he'd go back and fix Avacyn's shattered head if it still needed fixing.

Problem=solved

>>47525163
Does he know something is being held back? I know Jace does.
As far as Sorin knows, Nahiri could be having her revenge by just turning Innistrad into a shitshow
>>47525116
Before Sorin showed up, it was slightly worse for the vampires but that's because humans went on an offensive after Avacyn restored. For all they know the archangel just went crazy and it isn't said anywhere whether or not they know that Avacyn is part of some world enchantment keeping bad things out.
People seem to attribute the knowledge readers have to the knowledge characters in stories should have.

>>47525116
Fucking exactly.

God they're so dumb.

Of course, Sorin is kind of proving that he isn't much less retarded than them either.

>>47525224
>As far as Sorin knows, Nahiri could be having her revenge by just turning Innistrad into a shitshow
Yeah, I think that's what he was thinking. I mean, the plane was in a pretty thick shitstorm even without Emrakul. This just proves that A) Sorin is a terrible communicator and B) He's a terrible investigator. He shouldn't go into engineering. He'd suck at it.

>>47525224

Sorin really ought to have opened with the "I'm not ASKING for your help. I am TELLING you if you don't help me you and everyone you know is going to fucking DIE," when he went to speak with Olivia.

>>47525224
>it isn't said anywhere whether or not they know that Avacyn is part of some world enchantment keeping bad things out.
They don't know. At least Olivia and her ilk don't. She's under the impression that Sorin made her because he's sentimental for humans (kek), and he didn't feel like expending the effort it would take to correct her.

>>47525289
My thoughts exactly. Maybe it's a weird vampire social thing?

121KB, 620x509px

>>47525166
But anon, that would make sense.

>>47525224
It's not really about that, it's that even after all this time the vampires still don't understand why Avacyn exists and still cannot control themselves, they need her to stop them from being stupid. At least the Stromkirks understand humans need to be protected as a food source, the rest of the vampires on Innistrad are fucking retarded.

>>47525289
Scratch that, he should have demanded she help or he'll fucking Vindicate her, she's nothing to him in terms of powerlevel, the fact that she has the nerve to ask him to kill the one thing he has left that he actually cares about is silly.

>>47525287
And to Sorin's credit, he probably wasn't thinking clearly after finding Markov Manor in its post Nahiri state.
>>47525289
It probably would have been a boring story if it had him vindicating vampires until he found one that wanted to play ball. And Olivia still could have used killing Avacyn as leverage in exchange for her joining Sorin's side. I think he actually said something like that after she said she might throw in with Nahiri.
>>47525304
The plot of this block was brought to you by: Sorin not explaining things.

>>47525355
Oldwalkers are shown to literally have the worst judgement.

I mean, here's a reminder that the whole Nahiri-Sorin feud started because Sorin was grumpy about being woken up early and didn't even bother apologizing Nahiri for never checking up on Zendikar.

>What Sorin Should Have Done: "All right, bitch, listen up and listen good. One, if I hadn't made Avacyn you'd be sitting in a cave somewhere gnawing on rats because there were no more humans left and everyone else died in the wave of cannibalism that followed, not partying in the opulent mansion you are able to maintain entirely due to the balance I established. Two, if you think my enemy is going to be friendly to anyone that looks like me, pull your head out of your ass and take a gander at my grandpa's place. She did that on a WHIM and will do it to you if we don't stop her. Three, I'm pretty sure she's going to destroy the entire plane if she can. Y'know, the one we're standing on right now. You cannot survive if I lose this fight, and destroying Avacyn will be the end of the lifestyle you're so obsessed with maintaining. YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER."
