Topic: IC Information About Everything!

Lucy Ravenlock

Date: 2006-06-08 11:19 EST
I have decided a thread clean up was in order so I have put all IC information on all things to do with Lucy here. You will be able to find: Character, Location - EVERYTHING that you may need to do research on Lucy. But remember, without any decent logical IC research your character should not know all this information - unless they know it already by IC means.

Remember, I'll be very mad if you use this ooc/icly. I will hurt you. Or rather, i'd ignore you completely. Maybe pound your head with a 'reject' stamp or something.

This will be updated throughout. So keep your eyes here people!

THE CHARACTERS

_______________________________________________ ___________

Status - Alive

Name: Renna ?Lucy? Ravenlock

Alias: ?The Queen of Shadows,? ?Renna The Betrayer,? ?Renna of the Dark,?

Age: Unknown

Sex: Takes the Female Form

Race: Shadow Demon - Undead

Profession: Queen of Shadows

Location: The Den of Shadows (Renna's Fortress.)

Date of Birth: Unknown

Personality: Renna is sadistic, self preserving, deceptive, wicked and more than likely insane. She thirsts for power and would more than gladly give up anyone and anything to gain full and absolutely supremacy over existence. Currently at her true form the soul of Lucy has little influence over Renna?s personality; but does hand over the ability for Renna to feel emotions - which are never really expressed or present in her everyday actions. It is rare for her to show mercy or even said emotions in everyday life and that is perhaps currently only experienced with one Hawk Jahad.

History: (Crap, needs to be re-written! It?s huge and complicated.)

Abilities: Renna has the ability to use invisible 'extra' hands - sometimes called "Shadow Arms," which have the ability to pass through solid objects and have the strength to tare or punch their way through most standard alloyed armours.

One of her most frequently used power however is the ability to imbue a corpse with the soul of a Shadow Demon from the 'void' that once held her, creating a loyal slave and minion to her cause, (Mu, Mina and Zenobia fall into this category, but is subtly different from your standard Black Monk which are lesser minions in her forces.)

The ?Shadow Walk? ability allows for Renna to use the shadows as a form of 'gateway' to other shadows within her ?Shadow Sight.? (The Shadow Sight is an alternate perception of the world around her, commonly seen as shades of grey, black and white. The surrounding shadows can also act as her eyes during this state.) The Shadow Walk can only extend as far as the Shadow Sight can see, which, is a fair few miles during the night time while only twenty-to-thirty meters during the day.

Other abilities which remain mostly unused is the ability to absorb another's powers and life forces. An example of this was when Darkin and Henrietta were finally dealt with by Lucy and locked away forever within her own soul, digested, and incorporated into her own being. Renna retains their powers as well as their presences due to the fact she has total possession over Lucy.

Darkin's Powers. Being absorbed, Renna retains the ?blind rage? like powers that the gauntlet imbued into the wearer and can access them at whim. Also, Renna has the full ability to contact previous wearers through a strong, mental link and fully feels the presence of the gauntlet itself, but does not know the exact location in mind's eye.

Henrietta?s Powers. They were not so numerous and not so different from Renna?s herself, however, she did inherit Renna?s original Immortal ability to regenerate without devouring flesh purely by the use of Shadows. This can only be attained when Renna is touching upon a shadow other than her own, but, rarely she uses this. She takes too much pleasure in the slow regenerative process of devouring another's flesh to regain her own.

The last ability she possesses is to turn into her full Demonic humoid form. This form has hardly been seen and perhaps has been used once or twice in her time inside of Rhy'Din.

Status - Alive

Name: Mu

Alias: 'The Twin'

Age: Unknown, although she does appear to be in her late twenties.

Sex: Female

Race: Shadow Demon - Undead

Profession: Renna's ?Pet?

Location: The Den of Shadows, (Renna's Fortress)

Date of Birth: Unknown

Personality: Mu was once a stable character and much calmer between the two Twins that was Aru and Mu. Since the death of Aru, Mu has become unstable and mentally incompetent. Though she has become a bumbling, savage naked mass of uselessness she still has her part in Renna's forcesses as a form of 'guard dog' to the Den and Renna herself.

History: Her past history as a human is pretty much widely unknown, like Renna's own checkard and hazed past. She does not share her previous life with anyone though one thing was for certain, she boasted that she was once a respected and Holy Priestess of an Order long dead, along with her twin sister.

Risen one day by Lucy from the grave to play the job as 'friend,' 'bodyguard' and general lackey they were the initial pair to engage with Alex Ravenlock - for reasons unknown - and set him towards the downwards spiral for Alex's 'alternate' personality to arise. Aside from being Lucy's overall minion they also answered secondly to their Master: Alternate Alex (Alex Ravenlock's evil persona).

Mu fell in love with Alex fairly easily and so in turn she and her Sister soon became his pets and his own personal assistants. However, after Alex?s courtship with Lydia, the Twins soon became distant from him and eventually came into contact with Henrietta Ren - the blood daughter of the humanoid living incarnate of Renna of the Dark, whom very easily destroyed Aru completely, nearly killing Mu herself in her quest to seek out and destroy Lucy for unknown circumstances.

With Aru dead Mu could no longer take the strain of loosing ?her other half? and fell into her own subconscious; becoming a mindless 'vegetable' for the lack for the better term.
With Lucy resisting the return of Renna with the help of the mysteriously created straight jacket, she sealed the Den?s underground entrance with what was left of the rubble of her Fort that was nearly obliterated by Henrietta, sealing away her Black Monk arm, Mina and Mu inside the Darkness for weeks on end. Nearly verging on a few months.

With the time alone, Mu drew and gained comfort her own insanity without the company of her Sister to give stability within her mind. Soon she claimed the Den as her own and starved Mina of any flesh; taking it all for herself, sustaining her body in a state of constant energetic psychosis. As time went on she had lost the ability to speak and the near-total use of her Demonic powers.

Lucy and Alex returned to reclaim the Den, dealing with Mu in a bloody and emotional fight on both fronts. Mu did not recognised Alex - her love, or even Lucy - her creator, and was dead set on defending her new dark territory by any means. With her ultimate defeat by the combined efforts of Alex and Lucy, her regeneration process was slow and painful.

Mu slowly begun to gather what was left of her bearings, remembering Lucy, Renna and Alex... And most of all, Aru.

Still, she mourns for her Sister?s death. And still, calls out her name in the darkness of the night.

Abilities:

Without her Sister Aru, Mu can no longer return to the powerful merged form known as Arumu or use any of her Shadow powers. Still, she keeps her natural abilities.

These natural powers are somewhat Succubi in nature and seduce any man or woman mentally weak enough not to resist a mere drip of her saliva during a kiss directly to the lips. Too much could send most into a sex-crazed state until the pheromones wears off.

Retaining a high concentration of potent pheromones in just the kiss, she is even able to release a certain amount of pheromones into the air; however, this is much weaker and perhaps only effects people close enough to catch the scent with their own sense of smell.

Status - Alive

Name: Mina

Alias: 'The Clairvoyant'

Age: Unknown

Sex: Female

Race: Shadow Demon - Undead Catgirl

Profession: Keeper of the Black Monks, Clairvoyant and Caretaker of the Den of Shadows

Location: The Den of Shadows, (Renna's Fortress)

Date of Birth: September 21

Personality: Mina acts very much like a brainless minion, she does not have the will to take upon complicated physical tasks or even look after herself correctly.

She does however fully remember who and what she was before her conversion to Renna's Forces and is loyally in debt to Lucy (Renna) for freeing her of her mortal life as a slave, prostitute and general whore to the highest bidder.

History: She hails from the same Realm as Renna and had made her way to Ryn'Din via the slave trade years previously. Beaten and abused by her 'Master,' Lucy stepped in too correct the matter and to bend Mina to her whim.

Her powers were bestowed upon her with the help of the Shadow Demons when she was turned to the darkness. Currently she is the Keeper of the Black Monk Army, and is there to make sure they are all fully chained across the walls of the Throne Room, while she herself being hung via chains and hooks from the ceiling just above the very throne where Renna sits.

She has yet to show her true powers except for her Clairvoyancy, or even to interact with anyone other than Lucy, Renna, the Twins, Alex or Zenobia.

Abilities: Mina's abilities are very few. Her obvious power being that of Clairvoyance and that in itself is very limited to hearing 'speech' from anyone within the realm (within reason), seeing distant images from present and not too distant future, and controlling the Black Monks by will alone.

Mina's only other ability is to control and create chains out of the shadows around her (much like the Shadow arms), again, no one has seen this power at it's full potential so it is hard to say how numerous or strong these chains really are.

Status - Alive

Name: Zenobia

Alias: 'The General,' Zen

Age: Physically she looks to be in her mid twenties to early thirties. An exact age is unknown however.

Sex: Female

Race: Shadow Demon Possessed - Elf

Profession: General of the Black Monk Army

Location: Den of Shadows

Date of Birth: August 3rd

History: Before her possession, Zenobia led a pretty...normal life. She was known for her love of cards, gambling, booze, her fiance' Oren, and of course, the piano. She never took crap from others, and was a tough woman, a very capable fighter. Post possession she now follows the orders of...'Mother'. She'd die for Mother, but contrary to what one might think, she's not a 'mindless drone'. Zen is still there, just...changed.

Abilities: Like any Shadow Demon, she possesses a Shadow Arm, has the ability to Shadow Walk, and has Shadow Sight if she needs it. Zenobia also has the abilities she carried before her possession, one of which, is a natural gift of the element of fire. Not only that, but she has wonderful aim and control of throwing daggers and darts, and isn't too shabby with her double bladed sword.

__________________________________________________ __________

The Forest Of Decay

Outside Appearance:

Dead. The Forest of Decay would appear, on a general glance, to look like nothing more than a dying forest that has seen better days. Dense, thick grey trunks that lack flourishing life or vibrant color outline as far as the eye can see. The trees are aligned in a fashion to barricade entrance, or exit, with the branches tangling about themselves to fence the ceiling. A low hanging fog falls over the length of the forest, preventing the eye from seeing too far within. If one was willing to burrow, they'd find that the roots coil about each other to also fence out possible entrances. The trees lack movement, even within the various winds that seem to swirl about them viciously. A constant looming overcast of darkened cloud cover dots the not so distant sky, that constantly pours a rain of sorrow over the dead forest. An overhead view would suggest that the Forest of Decay spreads countless miles.

The Innards of FoD:

The forest itself has what could possibly be described as various thousands of trees, all of which are separated in an almost perfect unison to make the entire appearance within appear as though it's identical to itself. Some would consider this "The Passage of Insanity", as there's no clear cut way to tell if you're heading in any particular direction, or not. Constant russles echo throughout the closed in portion of forest, with whispering willows that overlap one another, vaguely crying, "Escape."

Onu:

A giant oak tree, with winding and spanding branches that wrap about itself and off into hundreds of different directions, can be seen standing erect above all the others. Some could call it a 'life tree' with the size and absoute rule that it appears to have over all the various smaller trees. Some suggest the height to be an estimated sixty feet tall... but as one would approach it, the size continues to constantly increase. Only various few have ever been close enough to guess exactly how tall it stands. It's appearance follows much the same as those that surround it, with a dark grey visual trunk and branches. Strangely enough, the leaves remain intact upon the tree, though give off a similar color of appearance. Their features, as it stands, appear to be stone-like, as they very seldom move. ~40' up the base of the trunk has hollowed out sections within the trunk that give the appearance of two eyes, and a gaping mouth.

The Underground:

Underneath the forest, starting at the very edge and on up to Onu itself, is a section of burrowed out passages that lapse inbetween the roots of the various trees, which suggest that the roots themselves originally crafted these passages during their movements. They span for miles, as does the forest itself, which lead to various 'hovels' deep under the earth. Roots severely outline these passages, which make them impossible to enter through various other burrowing tactics. Mounds of dirt that spiral upwards upon the surface grant access to these underground lairs.

The Underground Mansion:

Yet to be seen, and possibly only a rumor, the "Underground Mansion" is a based structure that falls to the deepest reaches of the Forest, itself.

The Death Zone:

Alternate's "Base of Command". The Death Zone is located within the very heart of the Forest of Decay. It consists of a small clearing, where no life nor actual tree life exists, separating it from the identical features that span about the rest of the forest. The ground itself remains cracked and barren, where the mud sloshes on it's very own without any kind of physical disturbance. The area gently buzzes of loose magical power, and the air itself wavers as though heat waves were fiercly emitting from the very ground the area rests within. The very rain that hits the location sizzles and evaporates into a misty steam, causing the area to appear dense of fog.

The Throne:

Located just south of The Death Zone, various lifted roots coil about themselves to provide a small throne twenty feet high that over looks a small portion of the forest. Directly at the base of the throne is a small humanoid indentation that houses the Lain-doll? when Alternate is within. Various roots coil freely about the base of the throne and into the earth, providing a small 'ramp' for Alternate to step up to.

- As described by Alex Ravenlock.

Some spelling errors changes, I have labelled Lucy's History section in needing to be re-written because some of it, isn't detailed enough or makes no sense whatsoever.

Will be adding in later:

Hello again! The 'Locations' section has just went under my long promised overhaul. I thought instead of describing and confusing the Den's appearance, I thought some cheesy picture would be better.

Coming up also for this part of the thread:

1) The long promised character profiles update.

2) Another bird's eye view thing for Lucy's entire Kingdom (with little knowledge of Rhy'Din's actual appearance on map.)

3) New character: Zenobia

4) Additional little updates.

Thanks, loves Luc-luc

Hello, me again. Another pointless thing to keep you up to date with my crap.

The profiles are done - save for a few tweaks in Renna's profile history part. It's long, and... Complicated to write it coherently. So bare with me.

Also you should be seeing a nice little new sub-section here:

"The Shadow Minions" - which will be a very basic description on each type of minion Renna/Lucy has in her employ. This will be finished right on after "The Charade" is completed.
