Awesome! I've gotten the post up. Let's have a fight!
Come on guys, lets get Corpus to 675 pages before giving up on it!!!! I am still waiting for your response Rahkmaninoff.
Hi, everyone! I'm finally getting the guts to apply after lurking for years... Here's to hoping I'll be able to keep this girl alive and well for a long time.
Name: Morpheme
Morpheme is approved! We are curious whether that three-bladed spear is a trident or more of a t shape, but either way works. Looking forward to seeing her in the halls of Corpus Rahkshi!
So, as you all have noticed, the game has been pretty dead. But while the GMs get things up and running, I thought I'd do a quick rundown of what's going on and who's waiting on who. Please refer to this list if your character is in the assignment.
Man, things practically exploded over the weekend! I was seriously considering drawing a picture of a Rahkshi next to a gravestone....
Scorp and I have been busy for a few weeks, but we're getting back in the swing of things now! It's good to be back. Thurisaz is a lot of fun to fight with.
I just edited Morpheme's last post so she acknowledges Danger (and passive-aggressively calls out his brother, mwahaha).
Hey all, Dilly-Dal here. I'm more active on BZP as of late since BZPGOT S3, and I thought I'd hop back in here. Is it uncouth for me to continue using my 2 year old Aka'Ri character or should I kill it and make a new one?
It's up to you. Lots of characters have reappeared after long absences when their players did the same. But I could also understand preferring to start over, jump back in with someone new.
I hardly did anything with Aka'Ri. I'll probably just awaken them from a LONG SLEEPtm in their dorm and have them start anew. And now that I have more LIFE EXPERIENCEalso tm , I know how to write and speak so I'll not be acting like a 12 year old who just learned how to use a keyboard.
well, i said i would do it. so i did it.
Name: Lost
Variation: Confusion
Level: 2
Gender: Lost has no concept of gender. Thus, they/them pronouns.
Gear: Lost carries no gear, though their weapon of choice is simple – a staff. Not a normal Rahkshi staff, but rather a bo staff. Aside from that, they carry no gear. They were never taught the importance of such a thing.
Appearance: Lost is short and stocky, their limbs far shorter and thicker than what a normal Rahkshi would possess. Even their spines are rather nubby and thick, bent at odd angles and at varying lengths. Splashes of a faded green streak across their chest, arms, and back, breaking up the otherwise dull grey of their chassis. Their claws are dull, and they always hold themselves rather timidly.
Personality: Much like their appearance, Lost is rather…stunted. They lack the ability to form complex thoughts or sentences and are easily scared into running away. They avoid confrontation at all costs – after all, that’s the only way they managed to survive as long as they did. They are rather amicable though, and more than willing to become friends with nearly everyone. Mostly because they’re too naïve to believe that anyone who looks like them would hurt them.
Quick to learn, but slow to apply, Lost is a master at shallow memorization. They can recall specific names, places, and objects…but struggle with managing to critically think or comprehend advanced topics like that. Even with speaking, Lost is hardly able to construct complex sentences. Oftentimes, they resort to single-word responses and gestures to get their ideas across. The difficulty with communication makes Lost seem even less intelligent than they already are, though they don't seem to be bothered by this all too much.
Bio: Born to a Makuta who cared more for experimentation and cruelty instead of truly raising a child, Lost had little chance of living a fairly decent life. Their Makuta swiftly decided to…experiment on the newly-born Rahkshi, to test not only the physical limits, but the mental limits of the “new breed” of Rahkshi. Lost was isolated, far away from the rest of their brood. Far away from any guiding hand, or any way of learning. Their body was bound, trapped in a room with all too much light in it. Lost was never spoken to, never unbound, and never interacted with their Makuta for quite some time. Eventually, they were freed. The Makuta got exactly the info they wanted – just like any normal intelligent being, Lost’s growth was just as stunted as one expected. Of course, having an intelligent Rahkshi was a boon in and of itself…so Lost’s Makuta sent them off to Corpus.
Unfortunately for Lost, they were never taught how to speak beyond very basic sentences. Not to mention the irreversible damage done by the “experimentation” left Lost mentally and physically stunted. They were lucky to arrive to Corpus alive, let alone relatively uninjured. They never even chose their own name..."Lost" is simply the word they ended up using to describe themself first.
For Smudge, it doesn't look like Loganto is coming back, and I'm not sure if Tim's still around. Guess we'll find out. I'll post shortly.
Yeah, I'm still around. Just haven't been checking in as often is all.
Should probably get on that now that things seem to be a bit more active here.
@Scrubbish, if you could tone down the suggestive overtones on Kri juuuuust a bit, that'd be awesome.
Starting to push a line into territory we're not sure we can cross here on the site and we'd rather be safe than sorry.
Whoops. Maybe I was going a little too overboard with the whole masochism thing.@Scrubbish, if you could tone down the suggestive overtones on Kri juuuuust a bit, that'd be awesome.

[ VERY VERY HEAVILY REDACTED ]
Due to some... rather unfortunate circumstances in the Discord chat, all of which had something to do with me, I think the best course of action would be for me to exit this game until further notice. I caused some pretty big controversy, I take full responsibility for my actions, and I desperately want to avoid causing anything similar in the future. I'll stick around a little while longer, if only to finish this assignment, but them I'm gone. And seeing as this game was really the only thing keeping me tied down here, it's safe to say that I won't be very active around here, save for irregular updates in the Epics forum.
To everyone affected, I deeply apologize for either offending you or making you uncomfortable, and I humbly ask for your forgiveness.
Best of luck in future endeavors,
--Lan Marvelous--
Honestly as someone in the server, what happened was relatively minor. And as far as I can tell, no one really holds ill will to you or your characters.
It was a relatively small argument. If you feel more comfortable leaving the game and server, it's up to you. No one is forcing you to stay. But no one is mad at you. People make missteps, And tone is really hard to tell online so people might've seemed madder than they actually were in reality.
Don't place all the blame on yourself - I'm certainly more to blame than you are, since i instigated it.
If you feel uncomfortable in the server and game yourself, that's perfectly valid - but please understand that no one is actively mad or still upset at you (as far as I can tell. I can't speak for everyone, just myself.) The decision is ultimately yours.
Nato, there is no second floor for Sliver to be on, and no windows for her to enter through anyway. If there were windows, they would have been blown out from her earlier attack- something that one of us would have noted in a post- and additionally we'd be able to see each other through them. Which we aren't. If there was a second floor, I'm sure at the very least Aza or Kororia would have the sense to also be guarding the staircase.
I could be wrong, or picturing a different building to what everyone else was, but as it is, Sliver's actions make the actions of everyone else make no sense. I'm really sorry and should have clarified more about the building instead of my brief "I think it has one door" in my last post.
If one of the other players in the building disagree, then that's fine. I can have Kororia move to protect the stairwell and say it's, I don't know, partially hidden or something. In fact I may as well do that since otherwise this building is just a rock cube. I can edit if people want it changed though.
EDIT: Never mind I fixed it.
EDIT EDIT: Just found out Scorp had told Nato that the building had two floors and at least one other entrance. While it doesn't make sense that Aza and Kororia at the very least wouldn't take this into account, this isn't an error on Nato's part so I'd like to say a big sorry to Nato for getting that wrong.
Have a new character profile though
If that is what you want, it will be kind of sad for me though, since Booger just got a new friend.
Will need a bit of clarification on just what those electronic devices are and what they do before A! Gets an approval
EDIT: Lost approved
I don't currently have specifics on the devices, since I didn't really think about it that hard, but they are parts of a very simple electronic music setup. So a MIDI keyboard looking thing would be in there probably, something like a computer (but in the interest of the game I'd say it's a computer only capable of compiling and arranging music), a sampler, stuff like that.
A! Approved, but I'll keep an eye on his use of those devices just to be on the safe side.
So uh
It's been a minute since I've last logged in.
Haven't read through everything yet, but how are all of you fine people?
Hey Wielder, good to have you back!
I think you should recall that Scorp and I are the GMs now (Timageness stepped down). Glass beat Exxan to win Thurisaz' tournament, and now Icarax is running a VIP game assignment in the Gym. The Rebellion is in an uneasy alliance with the Hand of Spiriah after fending off a mysterious group of Toa. A small group gathered in the courtyard telling stories is probably a good bet for interaction, although Lucid probably wouldn't approve of munching on flowers. That's a pretty cursory rundown but things have been slow lately.
We also have a Discord now! If you're interested, it's probably a pretty good place to chat and catch up.
Hello, all! I'm rather new here, and after a bit of confusion, have finally found the right place to post this! I've posted this once before, but that was on the actual Corpus Rahkshi thread, but thankfully i'm posting it here in the correct place this time
Name: Grakatas
Variation: Accuracy
Level: Two
Gender: Male
Gear: Additional armor; legs/forearms only. Quake Breakers. Quake Breaker Staff. [OOC: in terminology I can understand, the additional armor is basically medium armor out of something like D&d, or a video game, it's not standard Rahkshi armor, but it isn't Keetongu levels of armor plating, basically an in-between. Will provide further clarification if needed.]
Appearance: Stockier legs, stockier forearms. Shorter than standard Rahkshi, more Toa sized. Looks similar to a standard Vorahk otherwise. [OOC: I have pictures of MoC, if visual is required]
Personality: Thinking isn't really a strong trait for him, outside of social interaction. Combat tends to involve "Look at target, find weakest point, hit until target is not moving", wash/rinse/repeat. Talking is easier than thinking, though not by much. Sentences tend to consist of one to a handful of words. He is rather polite however.
Bio: Outside of classes, things have been very routine. However, there were some defining moments for Grakatas. His acquisition of two sets of Quake Breakers is the most memorable thing for him. The second most memorable thing is equipping thicker armor, because of the realization that momentum, or the sudden stop more accurately, hurts. A lot. One pair of breakers he wears on his feet, the other pair, with the help of the Ghosts, were fashioned into a staff of absorption. Nothing compares to the thrill of navigating the Chirox Causeway, however, a frequent pastime of his. Something about the momentum of jumping from pillar to pillar is rather enjoyable.
Hello and welcome to Corpus!
Your profile is overall pretty good to go, but before I give an approval, I'd like to know just what the additional armor entails.
EDIT: after your edited clarification, Grakatas is APPROVED.

Huzzah! Oh fraptious day, caloo calay!
Name: Paradox
Variation: Teleportation
Level: Two
Gender: Male
Gear: Jagged slab of protosteel fashioned into a large kanabo like club. Semi-reinforced protosteel foot plates [because I refuse to say Feet Additions in terms of equipment/gear]. A satchel that contains only a device with a prerecorded message.
Appearance: Looks like a Panrahk, even has the spines of one, but in certain areas in and around the joints, there appear to be worn down patches revealing green and blue metal. Tall, and solidly built, but walks with a slight hunch, as if in a perpetual state of readiness to pounce.
Personality: Violent, and rather mentally unstable when engaged in combat. Just as likely as to attack friends as he is to attack enemies. When in not engaged in fighting, he frequently argues with himself, threatening an unseen or imaginary figure, saying that he'll "stab them with a brain knife, make them bleed thought juice and smear it over the walls". Whenever alone, he talks to shadows as if they're a person of high respect, reassuring them, saying he'll do his job, because he wouldn't be there otherwise. Good hunters always do their job.
Bio: [bio has been discussed with Sergi over the Corpus discord]
Paradox is approved, including secretive bio.
Been debating joining for a while, and finally decided to do so. Here's my Rahkshi, Thunder.
Name: Thunder
Variation: Weather Control
Level: 2
Gender: Female
Gear: Thunder has the typical staff of weather control, able to split into the dual heads. These staff heads are bladed and can be used as individual weapons. Usually kept slung at her waist. Wears a silver pendant around her neck with the likeness of a Kanohi Jutlin.
Appearance: Thunder’s armor is gold and grey with jagged crimson markings along her head and carapace, and she has light purple eyes. Thunder is tall and lean, and her rectangular spines are quite long. Her Makuta gave her a tail tipped with an extra spine, made to help with balance issues that Thunder had in her early days due to being quite front-heavy.
Personality: Quiet, but unafraid and strong, and somewhat annoyingly independent. Prefers to let her actions speak for her. When she does talk, she does so quietly and with great intent. Normally, however, she communicates with chirps, growls and snarls, as well as the occasional screech. She has a decent level of knowledge about science, which is what led her Makuta to send her to Corpus, and is quite adept at combat despite her thin build.
Bio: Thunder was a simple Rahkshi of Weather Control whose knowledge began to evolve not long after her creation. She chose a name, a gender, and even started sneaking into the lab to experiment with viruses. Her rapid advancement perplexed her Makuta, who promptly sent her over to Corpus where she would hone her skills, and not interfere with ongoing experiments.
Hello, welcome to the game!
Everything in your profile looks good, just two things to note. Although Rahkshi can be given staffs that greatly amplify their power, the ones Corpus students have don't usually do that, and I'm assuming Thunder's won't either. And, it might be good to know more about how dexterous/useful that tail is - I don't expect it to be a problem, considering several more extreme modifications we've had, but a little more detail might be nice.
With that out of the way, Thunder is approved! I look forward to playing with you.
Welcome all the newbies! It gets lonely here sometimes.
Her tail isn't incredibly prehensile or strong. The most she can use it for offensively is a quick whack or sweeping someone off their feet, though this is more of a last resort as her tail is used first and foremost for balance. She's somewhat of a fall risk if someone messes with it. Though it is useful if she ever has to swim.
And yay! Now she's approved, I'll get a post up!
Greetings and salutations, new player! We also have a discord if you want to chat with other players here.
EDIT: Well, this is my last character for good(hopefully). I didn't really have an itch to play another a character, but I liked this one so much I thought I might as well add them to my roster.
Name: Carraig
Variation: Limited Invulnerability
Level: 2
Gender: Female
Gear: Carraig carries a massive claymore with her at all times, as well as a bag of jars filled with different colors of warpaint. In addition, she carries a small, weathered rock to remind her of what she must be like.
Appearance: Carraig is colored stone-grey and blue. She is slightly larger and stockier than your average Rahkshi, and she has covered her armor in another layer of plating(only protects against slashes and thrusts, not blunt force, and her joints are exposed.) Her eyes are a shade of orange, and the armor at her shoulders has been made to be jagged, to represent a range of mountains. Her spines are also jagged.
Personality: Carraig could be described in one word: unshakable. Once she is set on a decision, there is nothing short of outright death that could stop her from following through with her choice. Some might see this as outright stubbornness, but she simply views it as not bowing to fate. If she is destined to fail, then she will make her own destiny. Her loyalty to her friends is undying, and if she has to put her life at risk to save them, then she would do it without hesitation. She is also quite blunt at times, and likes to make rude jokes(all in good fun).
Bio: One of Carraig’s first memories is her Makuta telling her that she must stand firm in the face of danger, and be like a mountain-immovable. When she left for Corpus, she vowed to stay true to that principle in everything that she did.
Only warning is not to overdo that extra armor, it might grant some incremental protection but she's still going to feel a good blow. Looks good overall though, consider her approved!
Name: Whisper
Variation: Density Control
Level: 2.
Gender: Female
Gear: A kusarigama, the weight on the end speckled with small spikes. A compact crossbow, capable of being easily disassembled and stowed away in a pouch on Whisper’s back. A number of smaller pouches adorn her belt, one of which holds the bow’s ammunition.
Appearance: Whisper was spawned in a somewhat underdeveloped state, being smaller and shorter than most Rahkshi, and quite thin compared to most of her peers. Her armour is a mottled meld of blacks and purples, punctuated only by the green of her eyes.
Personality: Whisper prides herself on her flexibility in social situations, and is able to adopt a wide variety of acts, attitudes, and accents to suit her purposes. She thrives on being underestimated, feigning helplessness and vulnerability to coax others into expressing sympathy and offering aid. She’s capable of holding her own in a fight, having learned to favour speed, agility, and unpredictability to compensate for her deficits in raw size and strength – however, she still prefers to favour more indirect means.
While she does care about Rahkshi as a species, her time as the daughter of a warmonger has taught her all too well that sacrifice is an integral part of any successful operation, and so she is willing to use, manipulate and betray whichever individuals she must in pursuit of her goals.
Bio: One of the earliest New Breed rahks to be spawned by her Makuta, Whisper was also the most disappointing to him. In addition to being diminutive, she was also physically weaker than most rahks, only able to speak in a whisper, and lacked the characteristic spines of other Rahkshi. She was very much the runt of her litter, but made up for it with cunning and opportunism. While most Makuta may have been impressed by her resolve and skill at survival, Whisper had the misfortune of being a child of Icarax, who valued only strength and aggression, and had little more than disdain for his child’s tactics.
Unappreciated by her parent, and bullied by her siblings, Whisper swiftly lost faith with her Makuta and the Brotherhood, and became determined to chart her own path. Fortunately, her father made this quite easy for her, first venturing off to try to conquer the Northern Continent, then being sent to oversee Corpus Rahkshi. During his absence, Whisper ventured off to visit other Makuta, conversing with them if they were willing, training and mingling with their rahks for a few days or weeks before moving on elsewhere.
The more she saw, the more her hatred for the Makuta grew. In time, she journeyed to Corpus Rahkshi, filled with a new kind of determination: to help other rahks step out from the shadow of the Makuta, and make her father regret underestimating her.
Whisper looks great, Approved!
Deleted. See new submission for replacement entry.
two new Characters incoming!
Name: Punishment
Variation: Mind Reading
Level: 2
Gender: Male
Gear: Punishment carries a long staff with a spiked ball on one end and a short blade on the other. He also wears partial armor, covering his forearms, lower legs, and torso. This armor is covered in curved spikes.
Appearance: Punishment paints himself jet black with red stripes that look like claw marks. He is very large for a rahkshi and is covered in curved spikes.
Personality: Punishment lives by one motto, “Only the strong survive.” He believes that the world should be led by the strong and those who cannot keep up are left to die. Because of this he has dedicated his life to becoming the strongest, focusing mostly on his physical strength and combat skill. His mind is sharp, but not exceptional. He is willing to betray and manipulate to come out on top. If he believes he must develop a new skill so he can remain on top he will fully dedicate himself too it.
Bio: Punishment was born in a dangerous environment. His makuta kept all of the Kraata in a cage and gave them minimal food. The strong bullied the week, taking most of the food for themselves, leaving the others to starve. Punishment saw this and committed himself to the system. He rose slowly through the ranks until the selection process was done, and he was given a suit. He has spent his time at Corpus Rahkshi honing his skills so that no matter what happens, he will always be on top.
