Betrayal at the Senate

One evening, Senator Dios, a female Fyros, summoned us, Fyros and friends of the Empire for a meeting at the Agora in Pyr. She had very glum news to give us about what was going on at the Senate. One of the Emperor's consultants, Senator Xylos, had been acting in a very suspicious manner. He would often propose shady projects of questionable morality that would only serve his own interest, yet, none of the other Senators would dare to oppose him.

After investigating and interroating the other senators as to why they didn't vote against the proposals, Senator Dios had discovered that the Senators were either bribed or threathened into supporting Senator Xylos' schemes, otherwise something bad could happen to themselves or their families. We were all shocked to learn that our Senate was this corrupt, yet this wasn't even the worst she had to reveal to us.

Healer Forever !

This might sound strange or geeky as hell, but it is the absolute truth : roleplaying helped me figure out my path in life. Since I've started roleplaying, most of my characters have been healers. Kate-Lynn Drake is a surgeon, Sherkalyn's first master skill in Ryzom was healing magic, my Tempest of Seth in Age of Conan had healing skills and in Dungeons and Dragons, most of my characters would be priests, druids or favoured souls. In Live Action events, if I don't have a form of healing skill, I'll feel utterly useless.

It took me a while to realize it. After obtaining my college diploma in Languages, I had been in a slump. I didn't know which university to go to and didn't want to spend thousands of dollars just to figure out that I was at the wrong place. So I took a sabbatical from school and worked my ass off to save money for my tuition until I would finally decide what to do with my life.

Bloody Lunatic ! (Short Story)

This is a short story I wrote in my Creative Writing class a couple years ago. It's based on the background of one of my former roleplay characters on the Bitefight.fr forums. I spoke about that character in an earlier forum post. My teacher gave me quite the high grade on that text and I'm pretty proud about it, I must admit. Now I'm sharing it with you. Enjoy !

Kitin Events Part II : Kitins of the Depths

As I said it the previous post (an eternity ago, I must admit), we expected that the fact of slaughtering many Kirosta patrols in the Prime Roots and, even worse, killing Klaarch, a major Kitin General, wouldn't make the Kitins very happy. And they did retaliate, very strongly.
