October 11, 2024 Something is happening in the Scorched Wilds. There is a battle raging between a familiar force and an unfamiliar one. What will you do? Help or hinder?

October 1, 2024 Spooky things are happening as the afterlife start walking among the living once again.

September 30, 2024 Louve Dieudonné manages to keep Wolfbron Bluffs in the family. What will happen between the Bluffs and the otherwise peaceful pride of Lorien Plains?

September 20, 2024 Ilarion Rurik challenges for Wolfbron, will the Dieudonné lead pride fall?

September 8, 2024War broke out once again in the Lagoon when a wedding had some uninvited guest arrive. The war results in the most death matches the island has seen at once. The Summit was challenged by Brighid with Talisa answering the call. After many years of the Summit have the same two leaders, the Summit changes hands. What will this mean for the balance of Amaryllis? A witch hunt has started by Luther and Miaran which seems to be turning things on an island that is full of magic.

August 25, 2024 War broke out in the challenge for the Lagoon after Cassius tries to take the Lagoon from Isla. The Cove remains with Miaran. The leadership of the Mire switches from Sigrún hold to Rike when Luther comes back to take his birthland back. Elephants push into the Rainforest and push out the lions there. Soon after Lucifer lays claim to his birthland and takes over the Rainforest.

June 27, 2024 Conflict and tensions rise as prides come head-to-head with one another across Amaryllis - just as Pyrrha and Cassius take the leap to try and claim (or reclaim) their own thrones.

May 24, 2024 Rulers continue to shift, family strife ensues, and, per usual, tensions seems taunt and always lingering on the horizon.

April 24, 2024 Things are rocky within Amaryllis as the Dieudonne clash result in three deaths and forces a shift in the rulership of Firnen Rainforest. With Caladan Cove freshly overturned as well, what will the consequenecss of these events be?

March 30, 2024 The lull has ended as a long standing family, the Dieudonné, launch death matches against their own. The Plains sees a challenge from a new comer, Aphrodite, and the quite pride is pushed into the spotlight.

March 19, 2024 A momentary lull has overtaken the lands of Amaryllis as its inhabitants attempt to find their footing and rebuild after a string of challenges. How long it will last, however, nobody can be quite sure.

February 11, 2024 The Mire has fallen from the Stärke family and is now held by Luther Rike. The change has stirred but the fighting nature of those on the island. The Brook finds a new leader with Icefang and Isla takes over the Lagoon after a storm pushes out the old leader. Reti finds himself the leader of the Hollows after Alexander is hurt. The Oasis finds a new leader in Léonie who is soon tested by Harou.

January 8, 2024 The snow has finally begun to melt anew, which means that the world is slowly returning to the much-anticipated summer season. With the various holiday activities and the other jests put on by Nafasi also coming to a close, it is safe to say that winter is finally over.

December 5th, 2023 Nafasi had pulled a cruel trick and has sent Amaryllis back into a renewed winter season! But it's not all bad, because the lands will also see a handful of holiday-themed events popping up as a result. To make things more interesting, a wayward trio of travlers have also arrived and are facilitating a mass competition between the prides, bands, and rogues -- formally dubbed the Amaryllis Winter Games.

December 2nd, 2023 The spring air brings forth a number of pride challenges. A familiar challenger for the Cove and the Oasis arrive to try to earn what they want. The new leader of the Lagoon is tested in battle as well. What changes will come from the challenges? Who will remain standing and who will find their world turned upside down?

November 27th, 2023 In a challenge between mother and daughter, the leadership of Wolfbron Bluff changes for the first time in 5 IC years.

November 22nd, 2023 Two death matches, one resurrection, and an almost-war later, the lands find themselves in a constant state of turmoil and calamity. Families have been torn apart and endless blood has been spilt; but how is it all going to end?

November 3rd, 2023 The lands stir violently as a death match rages on between Aeistrios Saxe and Morrigan Greyflood. Observers spill into the pit in droves to witness what will no doubt be a historic battle -- and it is clear that this familial fued is far from over, no matter who wins and who dies.

October 12th, 2023 With winter comes the surge of more pride challenges; Ludivine challenges Ryker for Firnen Rainforest and is victorious in her endeavors, meanwhile an outcropping of maims breaks out on the sidelines. In a shocking turn of events Luther returns to challenge Bruno for Ecrosia Mire, will the former heir prove victorious or has Bruno got what it takes to keep his brother's ambitions at bay? This has undoubtedly shaken things up as Bruno declares war against Andal Oasis and Allies in the process!

Summer
Summer is in full swing now, with clear skies, warm nights, and ample sunshine! As such, the deserts begin to grow dry, the shores remain a blissful escape, the north is spared with cooling winds, and humidity continues to rise in the jungle. Rain and storms are long forgotten troubles by now, which is both a virtue and a vice during the heat of the season.

THEY MADE YOU INTO A WEAPON
  Quote     |   #1
(This post was last modified: 01-24-2024, 06:32 PM by Riven.)

Trigger Warning: This is my little corner of mad brainstorming and creative thoughts. I rather post this here, than in the plotting section, as it's easier to keep a track of and much less cluttered organised chaos. My characters are all rated M for mature - have dark, ethereal vibes - that touch on otherworldly surrealism, and I'm pretty sure they all identify as ghosts at this point. Also, this is long. I'm not sorry. Interested? Keep reading. Then message me.



23.01.24 I'm back from one of my hiatuses, and looking for more threads with my characters. I'm chosing to stay out of the discord server for personal reasons, but feel free to contact me on site via messaging. I check my alerts daily and I am very invested in the site. If we've written before, and I let our thread die, I'm very sorry - sometimes, my muse just abandons me and I can't revive it no matter how much I try to care. I'm back now though, my muse has ressurected itself, and I'm looking to write some more words with those who are interested. My only request is that I would prefer to avoid all major plots involving prides and families, because my characters tend to be extremely fickle, and joining another group is just not for them. I've learned that they're non-committal towards almost everything, and "staying" in one place for too long kills my muse for writing. In short, they're anti-social.

Anways, we can always just write, and see where things go. I have a loose idea of what kind of path I'd like my characters to lead, but nothing is set in stone. All are hermits in some way, the males more than the females, but they are capable of feeling and connecting with others - it's just difficult for them to stay. My characters usually have an undertone of romanticism attached to their names, but it's not really love in the end; it's more of an obsessive feeling that comes and goes whenever they feel like expressing themselves. If it's love, it's rare. So often, they choose themselves.


@Katana - Formly known as Eurielle. Cold, dark, graceful, detached, selfish, reserved. She has no connections with any family despite her lineage - or anyone soul for that matter - and prefers to keep it that way; even though she currently has her eye on someone. Currently wandering around, haunting various locations in the Freeze and the Thickets, spending her days alone. Ideally, I'd like her to have at least one friend, someone she can confide in, but that remains to be seen, and she doesn't trust, easily. She's both venomous and girlish at once, looking at the world through a whimsical, blood-colored lense. Strangely romantic at heart (in a vampiric sort of sense), but for a soft girl, her emotions are frigid, often tumultuous; with an underlying darkness and fascination for death. Chance meetings are high - she's quiet, and she's there one moment, and gone the next; her vibes are dreamy, vampiric, touch-and-go, fleeting. Hard to pin down. Hard to understand. Don't even try. You'll just get poisoned. But do enjoy the melody as you wither away.

@Riven - Formerly known as Amaroq; the revenant, the ghost, the wanderlusting spirit. Amaroq the heart-broken; withering away, and still pining after his late wife. Well, before my hiatus, I had been planning Amaroq's death, because he had become too burdensome and too emotionally overwhelming for me to write. But after my time away from the site, I began to realize that he's too much apart of me to simply let go, so I've decided to kill the old Amaroq and keep the ressurected version: Riven. Riven means 'to split or tear apart, violently', which I feel is the perfect new name for him. His life has been all that and more; chaos, love, death, isolation, rebirth. He doesn't remember much of his past, now; perhaps it's the numbness setting in, or he's simply forgotten bits and pieces over time, but Riven is colder, crueler, and more detached than ever. Being so cold helps him move on; move on from his failures, his vices, his lost loves. He still feels like a ghost, a revenant, but there is now an acceptance to all this wintry cold; and apart of it is due to his new-found emotions towards a cryptic and violently beautiful woman, who is (in her own devilish way) guiding him into the 'light'. Riven doesn't need friends, but he does need to wake up from time to time and touch the realm of the living. Anything to remind him that he, too, has to breathe.

@Harou - Morbid, violent, icy, detached, wolf-hearted, steely, callous, aloof. Did I mention aloof? Aloof. Just like Riven, Harou has ressurected himself, too; ressurected himself into a self-made path of isolation and solitude. He views himself as untouchable; a wrathful entity with no room for remorse or love, and moves now with the only motive to survive on his own. In his youth, he had been charismatic, wild, uncaring and perhaps even charmingly arrogant, but the Harou now has no room for others in his heart, and in his darkest of moments - questions even his own existence. Shrouded in a constant state of hungering - volatile, festering and forever touched by winter's wrath - Harou's path has become one of isolation, unpredictability and devout solitude. There is a disturbing sense of restlessness about Harou, something unsettled and cursed, as though he's lived for hundreds of years and still cannot find peace. Darkness and violence follows Harou, an intimate feeling he knows all too well; a feeling, he leans into with a great passion. Usually seen lurking around in the shadows somewhere like a mad, deranged ghoul; a man of few little words, strange in his behavior, although mesmerizing to some who shares his fascination for death. He's open to most interactions, such as fights and flings, but like my other characters, expect surrealism and a dream-like state.

@Arawn - My newest character and perhaps the softest, Arawn is my young warlock male who is a lot more gentler in persona, conpared to my current roster of brooding and vampiric heathens. He is atleast somewhat optimistic and charming, viewing the world as one great big adventurous tale of magic, beauty and chaotic wonder. He is inspired by Howl, from Howl's Moving Castle, and the series The Sandman. He is ethereal, intellegent, elegant, somewhat cold (but never cruel), charming in his own quiet way - and very much refined in mannerisms. Despite the refinement of his graceful masculinity, there is still a feral edge about him; eyes that look at you with the silent cunning of a wolf. Moving through the world, gracefully, he seeks to understand those he comes across, him being an empath and healer. Currently, he wanders around, looking for the next new adventure.

@Artem - My young baby dragon in the works, he will need other cubs to thread with when he enters the Amaryllis scene. He's gonna be a wild, mad, elegant heathen - selfish, violent huntsman and incredibly detached - think of Artemis in all her proud, feminine glory, being reincarnated into the body of a hot-blooded male. Yeah, this will be my attempt at a social-but-still-detached character. In the future, I may be open to more volatile plots with Artem, but for now he's a lurking, dark baby.

@Brielle - A soft baby viper with blood-stained teeth. Eyes of criminal red betray the tainted innocence and dark beauty burning from within. Calculative, cold, detached, observant, graceful, shy. Only speaks when spoken to, otherwise a silent ghost, keen as a blade and wise beyond her years. She's elusive, she'll never try to fit in. An eerie shadow on the wall, no matter who or how many surrounds her.



That's it, that's my current roster. Anyway, if you are interested in writing with me and my eidolons, do let me know via private message. I'm always around lurking and I'm happy to brainstorm loose plots.

Note: If you read all this, thank you.
