Edit topic

(You know what? Let's add a mysterious entity of great power that might be a god, or might not be.)
Name: Quies

Nicknames: The Silent one, The Observing Quiet

Gender/Pronouns: Unknown. So, they/them.

Race: Unknown.

Age: Unknown. However, they are very, very ancient.

Appearance: They are of unknown race, an enigma in that nobody can offer a description of them that agrees. However, the basic facts are these: They wear a mask, mage armor and a cloak, and they carry around a tome, a book of unknown origin or content. However, if a creature like Goldergon were to look at Quies, they would say that they cannot see anything where Quies is supposed to be.

Personality: Silent, enigmatic, mystical, reserved, solemn, solitary unless the circumstances require them to work with others, unpredictable, unwavering in their goals (whatever they may be.)

Powers: Many of their powers are unknown. However, the ones that are known are that they can somehow prevent anyone from offering a true description of them, even creatures like Goldergon, who claim to sense Quies but can't see them; they make absolutely zero noise; they don't need to eat, sleep, breathe or drink anything; they can break a person's mind with a single thought; they cannot be harmed or killed by anything; they have immense stores of knowledge; they can manifest infinite copies of theirself; they are telepathic; and they constantly float an inch above the ground.

Likes/Dislikes: It is unknown whether or not they have any likes, but they dislike anything that unbalances the universe or that could potentially cause a lot of destruction.

Background: Unknown.

Other: They have been recorded by many different races as diverting an event that would spell out their complete destruction. These tales almost always conflict chronologically, as many races cite them as being there to help while they were supposedly helping another race. However, due to their seemingly impossible to comprehend appearance that changes depending on the person, it is not truly known whether or not it was actually this being. They never appear when they are not truly needed, or unless there is a situation that has arisen somewhere that requires their direct intervention. They do not interefere with petty wars or battles or arguments. Nobody knows whether or not they enjoy confusing people, as they cannot, and will not, show any signs of emotion.

(Enjoy this confusing enigma of near unlimited power and literally unlimited knowledge! I'm also pretty sure Goldergon and Lucitius will not enjoy being around Quies.)

(okee, I'ma just throw Quies in here and see what happens. And I don't need a backstory for when Goldergon and Lucitius have met Quies, because a) they haven't met Quies, and b) Quies does know literally everything. Sometimes it's hard for them to distinguish whether or not they've actually met someone.)

Quies was in a shining city, full of glittering people and clothes. The next, they were here: this dark, misty dimension where everything seemed to have a slight negative aura of power. They heave a mental sigh, weary already of this place.

There are auras here, however, that they have not had the fortune, or misfortune, to encounter in a long time. One in particular seems familiar, and yet… less chaotic, more sane. Lucitius? they whisper, sensing an aura of power around him and another person, with things preventing tampering.

Is that you? they whisper this too, not because of fear, but because of the Elder Vanisher they sense nearby.

They remember this particular one… Who is that I sense you with, inside that angelic barrier. And why are you near an Elder that isn't dead already by your hand? Especially this… particular Elder? All these questions are rhetorical, since Quies has the information literally at their fingertips, but they expect Lucitius to answer anyways.

(Toky: never mind about being here I give up this Roleplay

(Well, I’m finally on. Sorry for the length)

Lucitius watched Asuka in confusion, wondering if he should mention that he could build a force field as well, but it was already done and Asuka was back in his lap. Another purr began in his throat and he rose an eyebrow at himself, then started to snicker.

He was enjoying the company way too much, but he wasn’t about to complain. He gently put his hand back on her belly, tapping her side with his claws in time with his purrs.

Mardicos looked up at Asuka’s words and huffed, growling. He then wandered off, ignoring her request.

Goldergon watched Mardicos walk away with a grin, but paused as he sensed something arrive, something that seemed just as alien as any other Vanisher. But, where was it? Why could he, an Elder Vanisher, a creature able to sense the energy of all beings, unable to pinpoint this one entity?

He glanced over at Lucitius and hissed at him, the tone different than before. Lucitius glanced up at him, a bit irritated by the Vanisher interrupting a doze, but he quickly caught on to the different tone. Was Goldergon afraid? What could possibly frighten creatures that didn’t seem to understand the concept of fear?

Goldergon appeared near the boundary of the force field, looking at Lucitius cautiously. Lucitius snorted, waiting.

“Something new has arrived. I cannot find it. I should be able to, but I cannot,”Goldergon said.

Lucitius turned away, deep in thought as he searched for a new entity. He noticed a dark figure down the street, but didn’t know how to react. It reminded him of so many things, real and symbolic, tragic and painful.

Lucitius turned away with a helpless chuckle as tears started to stream down his eyes. He instantly knew this creature was a god, but he wasn’t sure of what tier. Nonetheless it was powerful. More powerful than himself?

As Lucitius considered that, electricity formed around his fingers, snaking around his hand and crackling with a gentle tune. He took comfort in their existence, but noticed that they were so small, typical of his former mental state, but small now. How far could he go? How high was his potential?

Lucitius shrank away from all of it. His tragic past, his potential power, his waking mind. He didn’t want this power, never had. Why then… did it linger? Why was he cursed to be this harbinger of chaos, a primary god in the making?

Unfortunately, he already knew that answer, and there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it was in his blood. He was the last of a bloodline of god-like creatures, all harbingers of chaos, forced to live forever in a realm of tragedy and death. Insanity, too, was part of it, and Lucitius doubted his sanity would survive for more than a few years, if that.

Lucitius took a deep breath, dismissing the electricity from his fingers to avoid waking Asuka, and glanced back at the dark entity. Whatever it was, he doubted that it wanted another powerful entity like himself around for long.

“Of course, ignore me. If I could move beyond this barrier, I would have already cut your throat,”Goldergon hissed.

“You would have tried. And why should I listen to you, Vanisher? You are simply another creature I plan to take mine time with before tearing apart,”Lucitius growled, unwilling to share the haunting memory that his neck had already been cut before.

Goldergon hissed, but didn’t move from his spot.

(You're fine, Serpentess! And, also, sorry for the length.)

Quies listens intently, knowing the outcome and how to stop the situation. They open their mind to everyone in the area and says I am Quies, The Silent One, The Observing Quiet. I know the fate of this world, and all of you, if you do not stop this inane and pointless argument. Lucitius, yes I am a god. But I am also the only god of what I hold sway of. After all, I have all the knowledge of everything in this book here. You have this power to protect those entities like young Asuka here, and to destroy the ones like the Elder Vanisher Goldergon. Goldergon, nobody can see me as I am. You especially.

After they finish speaking, they float their way over to the barrier and dissolve it, then they wake Asuka with a simple Rise, arcangel.

Now that I have everyones attention, they say, simply teleporting and binding Mardicos while in the middle of the sentence, I will attempt to explain what will happen in terms you can understand: If all of you continue this, particularly Goldergon, Lucitius and Radiant, you will end up unraveling not just this dimension, but the others as well. I think you know I speak the truth. Their mind is wide open, and even Asuka can tell that this entity speaks the truth.

"So, if we don't stop arguing, we will have no home, no life, no identity?" Asuka says, getting up and stretching like a cat, noticing Lucitius' reaction to the entity. Quickly, she drops back down to a kneel and grabs Lucitius' face with both hands, forcing him to look her in the eyes.

"No. Don't revert back to your previous mindstate, Lucitius. I did not nearly kill myself just to heal you." she says, willing him to focus on her and her words.

Interesting. Lucitius, it seems as though you and her are developing a relationship with each other. Of course, I knew this was possible, but to see it is amazing. Quies is nearly silent with how quiet their mental words are.

"Shut up, Quies. You may be a god, but you should learn how to be quiet when someone's experiencing a negative reaction to you appearing in the first place." Asuka snaps.

Move out of the way, young one. You started the process of healing the entity Lucitius' mind, but it is obviously not complete. I can help. they say, already moving forward, pausing when Asuka doesn't move. I promise, I will not try and seperate the two entities or kill Lucitius.

Asuka nods, and grudgingly moves away so Quies can do what they need to do.

Lucitius, I know I have not been kind to you, but it all served a purpose. As Quies speaks, an unnatural hush falls upon the area, as Quies casts their spell. They wait for a second, then when Lucitius' mind is fully joined, they nod and step away. It is done. they say, allowing Asuka to throw herself back towards Lucitius, and watches as she lays down against him again.

(Oh damn. I like Quies. And, they also helped me realize a few details I never thought of about Lucitius, big grin followed by a little happy dance)
(And I’m keeping these newest details of Lucitius!)
(And I also added a twist at the end)

Goldergon hissed at the spot where he believed Quies was, and backed away. His instincts told him to flee, but he didn’t know how to exit this strange dimension. He knew he couldn’t win, and he didn’t like it one bit. He stopped by the building to the one where Lucitius sat, his claws scraping the wooden wall to keep him calm.

Mardicos growled and fought against his restrainsts, severely pissed off. His eyes shined with anger, and he quickly stopped struggling to avoid tiring himself out. His fur was spiked and his body trembled with fury, but he could be patient.

Lucitius jumped when Asuka grabbed him, surprised by her actions. He listened to her words, and it saddened him that he couldn’t use them. He then glared at Quies for a moment, a growl flaring to life as Asuka moved away and Quies began their spell.

He resisted Quies’ spell, but they were slightly more powerful, and the spell broke through his defenses. Clouds formed above afterward, a soft blue grey and lazily swirling, lightning flashing in their depths. Those clouds seemed to be waiting, like a loyal pet awaiting a command.

Lucitius, though he had been awake the whole time, felt as though he had just come out from a long nightmare. He gazed up at the clouds thoughtfully, unconsciously wrapping an arm around Asuka. He chuckled.

“Fool Quies, you might know everything, yet you realize not the truth. Insanity had been not a door to be unlocked, yet a barrier to keep mine wild abilities contained. For once unleashed, it cannot be recaptured or undone,”Lucitius hummed.

His silk robe changed into a dragon scale tunic, soft grey fur filling the gaps between the indigo scales. His hair became long and wild, splaying across his shoulders. His eyes, once an intense blue full of sadness, now gleamed an iridescent blue/purple that glowed with mischeif and anarchy. His tears became a soft purple, and the streaks on his face faded. Two pairs of horns grew from his head, creating a vertically curved silhouette with his first pair.

“You see? I am no mere demigod, yet a true god rightfully locked away. For mine home has never known a Primary God of Chaos, nor has a Primary God existed in ages. You see, I would be the end of mine multiverse, and of many others, without even intending to. Not such a wise decision to let me out if you desired to keep the balance,”Lucitius grinned.

His fingers slowly waved at the sky and three white lightning bolts fell. The first freed Mardicos, and he promptly fled the village. The second struck Goldergon, permanently paralyzing him in all of his forms. The third struck between Lucitius and Quies, creating a blue circle around Lucitius that hummed with barely contained power.

“I thank you for healing mine insanity, as I now realize that I truly could not have avoided the tragedy of mine past. Yet, I believe madness shall always follow me, and likely be one of mine tenets, though I have yet to decide on that. Now, if I might have a moment of quiet, since such moments are rather rare for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Oh, and Goldergon is mine to kill,”Lucitius added, curious how Quies would react.

He then turned to Asuka and gently whispered in her ear.

“How would you like to be mine Archangel? I cannot think of a better way to show mine gratitude,”he asked.

(I'm fine with all that. Really, I am. That was pretty amazing. Also, Asuka gets melded with Radiant and becomes a very, very powerful entity. Just to try and keep Lucitius in check and make sure he doesn't sneeze and obliterate everything.)

Fool. You do not understand what truth is. I could break you again in an instant if I so chose. I am infinitely more powerful than you, Lucitius. Do not think I will forget this moment. I do not make threats lightly. I will destroy you if you so much as think of trying to hurt or kill me. And I know Goldergon is yours, Lucitius. I have the truth of everything, every single possibility written and recorded in this tome of mine. No matter which option I chose, you would have become this. Quies says in a thunderous tone, the sky above turning void black with Quies' anger.

Asuka's eyes gleam, and she replies "Yes, Lucitius. I shall be your Radiant light." She smiles as she says this, knowing Lucitius would appreciate the play on words. She also ignores Quies' sudden outburst at Lucitius, knowing that any entity, no matter how emotionless they may seem, can experience anger like everything else.

To Asuka/Radiant, Quies says You may stay with Lucitius if you want. However, you shall accept the power of a goddess, but not the mantle of a goddess, equal in power to Lucitius, that he does not bring total ruin everywhere.

Asuka looks to Lucitius, then back at Quies. "Yes, Quies. I accept this gift, if only to keep Lucitius safe."

Asuka feels a rush of power and vitality, a barrier between her and Radiant breaking, thereby adding Radiant's power to Asuka's and the power Quies has given her. Her eyes change to a silver/gold color, with a white glow. She gains Radiant's wings and powers, and otherwise looks normal. She holds up one finger, and a single, brilliant beam of light flys from it, arcing through the air and turning the world into a soft place of sunlight, another gift to Lucitius.

"Now, let us go, and see what the worlds have to offer. So long, my world! We shall return. And Quies?" she says.

Quies pauses. What is it, Radiant?

"Thank you. Now leave here. Me and Lucitius have a score to settle before anything else." she says this with a new, hard gleam in her eyes.

(Lol. And sorry if I came across a bit harsh in my last post, that was not intended. It’s so tricky to convey emotion in just text. I am really, really happy right now. I had danced around the thought of Lucitius being a god, but wasn’t sure what to do with it, and now this came up and it fits so well! Anyway, onward)

Lucitius snorted, unfazed by Quies’ anger.

“Power is irrelevant. And I currently have no reason to attack you. That would be counterproductive, simply because you freed me. I would be a fool indeed to attack you for that,”he replied casually.

Even with the void in the sky, the blue grey clouds remained, seeming to deliberately not dissipate, as if mocking the void for trying to get rid of it.

Lucitius turned away from Quies, chuckling at Asuka’s play on words. He listened to Quies’ offer, watching Asuka’s transformation in fascination. As Asuka turned the void into sunshine, he smiled and dismissed his clouds to reveal the gorgeous blue sky, savoring the sight for a moment.

“Two goddesses by mine side. A lovely combination,”he mused to himself.

As Asuka spoke to Quies, Lucitius noticed a dark streak rushing toward Quies. He snapped his fingers and the leaping wolf froze in mid-leap.

“Not a wise choice,”Lucitius commented.

Mardicos abruptly appeared next to Lucitius, sitting in a regal pose. His eyes narrowed in confusion, then he snapped at Lucitius. Another snap of the fingers froze him again.

“Do you wish death instead of a place of honor by mine side? I would hate to see your intellect wasted,”Lucitius asked, releasing Mardicos.

The wolf paused, then snarled in a last futile attempt of defiance before plopping down next to Lucitius. His fur slowly started to smooth out.

Lucitius turned at the mention of an old score and grinned. He then waited for Quies to leave, contemplating what he wanted to do to Goldergon.

(You're fine. Also, what should Asuka/Radiant be called now? Mine ideas have run dry.)

Quies contemplates this for a minute, then leaves when Mardicos starts to try and get violent. Mortals. They're all fools… he mutters to himself as he dissapears in a purposefully explosive vortex of energy.

Meanwhile, Asuka/Radiant looks at the sky now, and how it looks so… beautiful without anything obscuring it. She turns when she hears Mardicos struggling against Lucitius' will. "Really, Lucitius? Must you do that to our dear friend?" she says, looking from Mardicos to Lucitius with a bit of amusement, nearly laughing out loud at seeing Mardicos' face.

"And also, of all the ideas I have for Goldergon, one sticks out as necessary and needed: forcing him to live through what he put others through. The pain, the death. All of it. How does this sound to you, Lucitius? Is this an acceptable idea, or shall we just save ourselves some time and kill him quickly?" Asuka says once she stops supressing her giggles.

(The accent has rubbed off on you! Evil laugh)
(Anyway, hmm… if you want you could keep Asuka or Radiant, or maybe somehow combine the names. Most of the names I come up with are… unique. Example, and possible choice for Asuka/Radiant: Edahvarine [pronounced ED-uh-var-Ēn])
(And alright, see you later)

“Immortals are all fools,”Lucitius quipped, bursting into laughter.

The blue circle around Lucitius absorbed the explosive energy of Quies’ exit, leaving Lucitius and his two companions unharmed. The circle then faded.

Lucitius snickered at Asuka/Radiant’s words, glancing at the pouting wolf. Mardicos huffed at him.

“You are not bound to stay. I can understand the beauty of solitary roaming. However, your bloodline truly did serve the gods… as advisors and enforcers,”Lucitius remarked.

Mardicos lifted his massive head, his eyes boring into Lucitius for a long moment. Lucitius couldn’t help a grin as he stared into the wolf’s intimidating eyes.

Mardicos then emitted a small noise that seemed a combination of a huff and a bark. He stood, circled, and sat down again, searching for potential threats.

Lucitius smiled thoughtfully at Mardicos, then turned to Asuka/Radiant. He considered her idea for a moment.

“It would be a waste of time. Remorse is something Vanishers, particularly this one, cannot grasp. Making him relive his mistakes will only remind him of how much he liked it. Yet… I do have a rather cruel idea, and he would not have to die at all. And, ‘tis something quite similar to the practices of mine race,”Lucitius replied.

He stood, helping Asuka/Radiant as well. He then looked toward Goldergon, willing him to move into the center of the street. Goldergon’s body floated over as commanded, his eyes filling with terror as Lucitius telepathically shared his idea.

“You wish me to tell you, or shall I demonstrate?”Lucitius asked Asuka/Radiant, a mischievous grin on his face.

Mardicos stood and padded over, glaring at Goldergon. He huffed, impatiently waiting to see what Lucitius had in mind.

(Sorry, but I am on again! I actually like that idea, but I now have mine own thoughts on it: Maybe, instead of Edahvarine, Ēdåvarîn. That is just mine thought, however. I might just stick with mine original concept and keep Asuka. God, why is this accent so infectious?)

Asuka smiles at Lucitius' words, before laughing and saying, "Lucitius, you aren't mortal. You're a god now, remember? Quies was talking about Mardicos and people like him."

She then turns to Mardicos and drops down to her knees to look him in the eyes. "Thank you, Mardicos, for choosing to stay with me and Lucitius." she says, making sure he knows she means it.

Without getting up, she turns back to Lucitius and says, "I would much rather see what you have in mind. Words are… insuffeicent… when it comes to Goldergon." She ends this with a glance at Goldergon's body, then goes back to watching Lucitius.

Suddenly, she stands up and walks over to where Goldergon now rests and just looks at him for a long moment before saying, "Oh, look. The Vanisher might not feel remorse, but he feels fear. He looks very afraid, as he should be."

(Ooh, that’s cool)
(Evil grin. Lucitius is perfect as a God of Chaos, because he causes chaos in the real world as well. Evil laugh. It really is infectious, because I have to remind myself [I nearly said mineself, grin] to switch over)
(And… sorry for taking an hour to reply. This turned out a lot longer than I thought. But, it was worth it!)

Lucitius grinned,”I know, yet I could not resist the tease.”

Mardicos huffed at Asuka, uninterested in her thanks. He sat down, watching Goldergon, glaring.

“Very well. And Goldergon is afraid because he knows what I plan to do. ‘Tis a fate worse than death for a Vanisher,”Lucitius said, chuckling.

He waved his fingers, lifting Goldergon’s paralyzed body to his feet, then snapped his fingers. Almost instantly, dozens of paralyzed humanoid creatures appeared, all golden eyed, all terrified. The form of Ehvara stood next to Goldergon.

Lucitius paused momentarily, staring at Ehvara, and he waved a finger toward her. Her paralysis faded, and at the same time, she collapsed into unconsciousness. He then turned back to Goldergon, smiling at the sight of hatred in his orbs.

Lucitius snapped his fingers and all but Goldergon and Ehvara disintegrated into mist. Sheer panic replaced the hatred in Goldergon’s eyes instantly. The mist swirled, then coalesced around Goldergon, being absorbed by his body until none of it remained. Lucitius released the paralysis and Goldergon collapsed face-first into the ground.

“He is mortal, powerless,”Lucitius said.

Lucitius waved a finger, mist appearing and rolling Goldergon onto his back. Goldergon stared blankly at the sky, his body quickly beginning to tremble, gold tears welling in his eyes. He started mumbling, his voice barely audible.

“What is this? Where are they? Why is it so quiet? Why does nothing make sense anymore?”

Lucitius contemplated Goldergon a moment, humming in thought. He glanced over at Ehvara’s unconscious form, an idea brewing in his mind.

Lucitius walked over to Goldergon and crouched down, staring into his golden eyes. He waved a claw in front of Goldergon to get his attention.

“You wish the realm to make sense again? For the quiet to go away?”Lucitius gently asked.

He smelled Goldergon’s desperation, even as the creature futilely tried to answer. Lucitius grabbed him by the chin, his claws cradling Goldergon’s head.

“Serve me, and earn your mind back,”Lucitius growled.

Goldergon breifly tried to look defiant, but his heavy shaking worked against him and he simply nodded, tears streaming from his eyes. Lucitius’ gaze softened and he tapped Goldergon on the forehead, a blue dot appearing. Goldergon cried out in pain, coiling, then gasped, looking around as if seeing the village for the first time.

Lucitius stood and moved over to Ehvara. He noted Mardicos huffing and walking off into an alley, but paid him no heed as he tapped Ehvara on the forehead as well, recalling that Goldergon often portrayed her as a shy woman, sister of his preferred form. Why not make that a reality?

Ehvara gasped awake, looking around warily. Lucitius nodded toward Goldergon, stepping away from her. She shakily sat up, looking at Lucitius in awe, then crawled over to Goldergon and hugged him tight. Goldergon, too shaken to reject her hug, wrapped his arms around her.

Nearby, Mardicos started to howl. Those howls turned into screams, then silenced. Many minutes later, Mardicos returned as a human, breathing heavily.

“Why did you let this foul creature live?”Mardicos snapped, his tone clearly favoring his wolf side despite his fully human form.

“Chaos. And Madness,”Lucitius replied with a thoughtful smile as he watched Goldergon and Ehvara.

“And you’re supposed to be sane?”Mardicos huffed.

“Sanity is relative, Mardicos. It truly is. Now, in other thoughts, what else would fit with chaos and madness?”Lucitius said, his eyes drifting off in thought.

Electricity and mist formed around his fingers, swirling aimlessly. Lucitius stared at it, then smiled.

“Chaos, Madness, and Storms. Lovely,”Lucitius rambled, glancing back at Goldergon and Ehvara.

Goldergon seemed to finally be calming down as he held onto Ehvara. His eyes slowly opened and he looked at Lucitius with terrified respect.

Mardicos noted Goldergon’s gaze. He glanced at Lucitius and shook his head in confused amazement.

(Oh mine god. (Seriously, Lucitius? Why did you infect me with this?) Wow. It was worth the hour's wait, to see this. And also, I'm doing mine best to keep myself (Finally, I managed to stop myself from saying "mineself.) from talking like that. Also, Lucitius is terrifying. Mine life is at the complete mercy of Lucitius. Luckily, I do not have any reason to make Lucitius want to take mine life. (Oh god, I'm never going to speak in mine own accent again, am I?))

Asuka looks at Lucitius in amazement as he does all this to Goldergon, then smiles and laughs slightly. "I understand why this would be worse than death for a Vanisher. They will eventually die like the rest of us, be mortal like us, and that would remove that which keeps them so different from us. It is truly the perfect punishment."

She adds telepathically to Goldergon and Ehvara, Do you understand why this happened? Why this has been done to you? Why it had to be done? She doesn't expect an answer from either.

"Lucitius, let's get them to where we're going, so they can contemplate their mortality while they wait. Let's see how long it takes for them to break. Or how long it takes them both to become better beings than they were." Asuka says, placing a hand on his shoulder.

She glances at Goldergon and Ehvara, then looks back at Lucitius. "Also, if they ever do learn to be better, don't tempt them with power. That would be cruel. It would be easier to give them back only their immortality, so they can earn their power through their own determined effort, rather than having their own powers given back without knowing the path and effort to learn them. Fair?"
