  1. About damn time. Hope you include "things".
  2. The current Diamond Casino is a custom interior that is MASSIVE. It is too big for one person to manage or build. It would require a very well thought out plan of attack for it. I know some months back there was discussion of the interior being changed to the GTA:O interior, but, there are a lot of other things that take higher priority. Regarding it being sold or taken by the government, that is an IC suggestion so I won't comment on that here.
  3. Bout time you guys put up a thread. Can't wait to see where it goes. Love everything I have had with yall IC so far.
  4. ((Pending Image Additions and other stuff but wanted to post something at least - this segment of the story is done but feel it needs coloring and more pictures.)) Years had gone by as the two brothers worked and survived within The Devils Cartel. It wasn't easy but it gave them everything they needed to keep living. However, over the years Ezekial had made a name for himself and was stripped of his last name, his skill set had been so known he was given the title, Diablo. He was known for kidnapping, torturing, and murdering anyone he was given a name for... the issue was, he showed no sort of emotion when doing it. It was second nature to him... it was easy. However, per the traditions of The Devils Cartel, anytime a member did something worth of note that benefited the family, they were branded and scarred to show as a trophy, by the time he was crowned El Diablo, he was marked 49 times on his back. Gavriel on the other hand was more involved in the business aspect of making deals and bringing income to the cartel. Over the years, the brothers fell apart due to Gavriel didn't agree with what Ezekial had become. On a late summer evening, The Devils Cartel had a deal to attend. The deal was for them to provide protection for a local drug merchant for sales to some of the cartel's clients however what happened that night was not expected. Ezekial and Gavriel arrived not knowing the other would be present. They exchanged a professional hello and continued with their business. Ezekial was there as protection while Gavriel had set the entire deal in motion, but, Ezekial only knew one thing... he needed to protect the cartel. The deal was taking place at The Devil Cartel's Villa deep in the country side. Everything was going to plan up until the merchandise began to be moved... At some point crates of merchandise were spilled and during the chaos of trying to figure it out, Ezekial lost his focus on the job and began to try finding out what happened... unaware they were being setup. As he began to ask questions, an explosion was heard nearby and gun fire began. His focus now shifting to protecting the cartel... this villa not only being their cartels main base but it being the leader and her families home. As the gun fire continued from all directions, Ezekial quickly found a gun in his truck nearby and began to fire back when he heard another explosion going off behind him as the blast sent him flying into the air and tossing like a rag doll. When he looked up he saw Gavriel with a gun shooting in that direction, but, he also heard screams coming from behind him... it was the cartel's leader, Maria. Gavriel had shot numerous times in that direction trying to protect Ezekial from being shot, but, in the process had shot the villa's propane supply numerous times causing it to explode and take out a chunk of the house. Ezekial stumbled to his feet as he looked back and saw Maria's child and husband lying on the ground not moving... the blast had thrown them from where they were standing and debris sat around them. Ezekial panicked and quickly tried to run to Gavriel but was concussed to say the least, his feet not cooperating. As he finally made his way to Gavriels side, he told him to leave and get out. He warned him, the cartel was going to kill him if he stayed and he was in danger. Gavriel hopped in his truck and left... this was the last time Ezekial saw Gavriel. A few months passed and everything calmed down, as far as Ezekial could tell. He missed his brother but Gavriel had fucked up and a target was placed on him... he killed Maria's family and now they wanted revenge. Ezekial had heard nothing about Gavriel until one day he got a phone call to meet Maria... he arrived early and scouted the area, afraid they were going to settle for him. Maria showed up and walked up to him, kissing him on the cheek before whispering in his ear, "El Diablo you have a new target. Dont let this one break you." She slipped a paper in his hand and walked away. As he opened the paper his heart sank and for the first time, emotion began to run through him regarding a job... he was conflicted. Ezekial began to frantically try and find out how they located him and within seconds saw an article regarding a marriage between Gavriel and Cleo Sullivan in a city called Los Santos along with a picture of them being pronounced married. Ezekial thought to himself and decided he needed to warn Gavriel and Cleo, Gavriel looked so happy and had no clue his entire world was about to collapse. He began packing for his trip, grabbing everything he could fit in the truck. Guns, ammo, clothes... everything. If he was to protect Gavriel and his family, this meant going to war with The Devils Cartel. -- To Be Continued --
  5. This is currently on hold due to IRL obligations that came up unexpected. However, I am trying to find a way to balance time to make this still be a thing. STAY TUNED!

  7. MAKING DREAMS BECOME A REALITY Ezekial Diablo has always been involved with Xoza Shadow when it comes to the business aspect so when the idea of Shadow Corporation being a full blown company, Xoza offered him a position. Without hesitation Ezekial became the Supervisor for Public Relations and Events. However, over time Ezekial has begun using his knowledge to help in all aspects of the company ranging from advertising to events to real estate to even public relations. If it helps the company and helps the citizens of Los Santos, Ezekial wants to be involved to see it through. Lately things have been slow within Shadow Corporation due to a recent power issue at the power company causing the grand opening of Shadow Corporation HQ to be delayed by roughly 2 or 3 weeks, but, dreams don't magically pause. Citizens still have dreams and Shadow Corporation is still helping them even without their HQ being open. Recently Ezekial was contacted by Xoza and Larry regarding a property near Central MD. It had potential but currently was in a bad state. All 3 of them with the help of Sophie Nightingale managed to pick up the house and renovate it to stand out in the neighborhood. The house went from being a 2G garage to having a 2G garage with 9 parking spaces outside all locked behind lock and key. The house hit the market for a few days before a co-worker of Ezekial's at LSEMS mention needing a loan for an apartment. Ezekial offered them the loan but also mentioned the newly renovated house. Malik was very interested and decided to take a look. After everyone meeting up and discussing the house, the rent to own contract, and other general thing... Shadow Corporation and Malik came to an agreement. Malik now had himself a new home he wouldn't need to pay off immediately and Shadow Corporation had another satisfied citizens of Los Santos. After this Ezekial received a call from a co-worker, Ted Lawson, regarding a gentlemen named Dirk at LSC wanting to purchase an Elegy Retro Custom from Atomic due to Atomic gave LSC employees a discount. Ezekial referred Ted and Dirk to xoza, but, sadly neither men were able to reach him. Wanting to make sure Dirk was taken care of, Ezekial figured out the discounted price on the Elegy Retro Custom and told Dirk the price. Dirk told Ezekial he had the money on hand to purchase it but couldn't get in contact with Xoza, so Ezekial did the next best thing. He told Dirk to give him the money and that he would purchase the car for him. Dirk agreed to do it and handed Ezekial the money. Shortly after Ezekial delivered a brand new Elegy Retro Custom to Dirk who at that moment could not stop thanking him. Ezekial went on to inform Ted and Dirk if they had any other people wishing to get vehicles to email him or Xoza regarding it, that they would get to it as fast possible. At this moment, it wasn't about the money for Ezekial, seeing Dirks smile about finally have his dream car, was plenty for him. As time went on more and more properties began to hit the market and an employee within Shadow Corporation began to finally look for a house of his own due to his situation changing for the better. Ezekial was no longer surviving on his own but now had a significant other to share moments with. His dream was to finally stop living in apartments and get a house. However, the house he wanted was currently outside of his reach. A recent 4G mansion style house had hit the market and many citizens were looking to buy it. Ezekial began to send emails and texts out ot his friends along with the help of Larry. Within 5 hours they managed to go from having $200,000 towards the house to $3,000,000. They were on the home stretch but hit a massive roadblock for 2 hours. They had no where to go or anyone to ask, everyone was sleeping. Ezekial began emailing Shadow Corporation executives but got no response. He emailed Xoza and Detective Willowick, hoping they could help. Willowick came into town and helped Ezekial get the last of the money and the house was purchased however at the cost of his new house being put as collateral. Ezekial was trying to avoid that and emailed Xoza telling him that, Xoza said I will be in town later and we can talk. Hours went by before Ezekial met up with Xoza and they began to talk about why this house was so important and why he was willing to owe so much for just a simple house. Ezekial had realized during a conversation with his significant other that he needed to stop living a bachelor life and begin living like he was with someone. His significant other made a comment regarding the long haul type relationship and Ezekial agreed with it. Ezekial explained all this to Xoza and within seconds a phone call was made. Xoza was going to make a dream come true and settle the debt with Willowick so that the house was in Ezekial and his significant others names along with an extended period to pay off the money owed. Shortly after they parted ways and Ezekial began making renovations to the house. Renovating the backyard, the interior, the driveway, everything needed to be redon to their liking. After it was all said and done Ezekial and Carly, his significant other, decided to throw a party. They invited friends from everywhere including LSC, Bayview, LSEMS, Shadow Corporation, and others. The party went for hours and they even were given gifts as House Warming Presents... something they didnt even think of. Shadow Corporation successfully helped another citizen reach their dream. Even though this one citizen was an employee, the others who benefited from it were not. By the end of the night, Ezekial and everyone involved in this house warming party were satisfied and some asked questions on how he was able to do it. Ezekial began to inform them of what Shadow Corporation did and how they manage to do it all the time. The party quickly after moved locations to the pier where more fun was had with the citizens of Los Santos.
  8. Ezekial has been my character for almost 2 years.... however due to fear of META, I kept his story to strictly IC and telling it IC... recently I began to think about exposing it on an OOC level since I have been playing him for so long and figured why not share everything from him out of the city up until this point... it will for sure be quite the interesting story considering all that has happened in my time of playing him.... LONG ago I had thought about having The Devil's Cartel being a thing but that was during the time of Zetas, Triads, and Aztecas and honestly I loved being friends with them and didn't want to risk the relationships I had over a faction if that makes sense. I knew them all on my first character Gavriel and now on my second one Ezekial....IC and OOC, they helped me with many things including learning how to RP properly even though I am still learning to this day. EDIT - Yes I am aware characters are not supposed to know eachother from the same account however I have permission from certain staff regarding the storyline and interactions Gavriel and Ezekial had. If staff reads this and has questions, I can provide evidence somewhere along with there should be things in the Archive about it. Clarifying so no one begins to freak out.
  9. Ezekial and Gavriel were born into a world they were never fully prepared for nor deserved. However, all lives begin without planning and without us fully knowing what we are getting into. Ezekial and Gavriel were twins born to two wonderful people in New York that always wanted kids, but, never had the chance until they were much older. They were immigrants from Mexico who came to the United States for refuge from an overwhelming corrupt town. The town was ran by the cartel and barely allowed people to keep enough money in their pockets to feed themselves, let alone children. So in their mid thirties they made the decision to flee to the United States and start over... leaving everything behind. By the time they found time to have kids they were in their late 50's and had made quite the lives for themselves. After much time passing Ezekial and Gavriel were brought into the world on September 5th 1989 in the middle of the night. There was no other family besides their parents present and hospital staff, but, they were alive. Fast forwarding 18 years, Ezekial and Gavriel found themselves having to fend for themselves in the streets of New York after their parents died in a car crash one day on their way home from work. Due to their parents struggling as the boys got older, not much was left to them. They found themselves homeless, uneducated, and struggling to survive within a few months. Work with no education was impossible to find and slowly but surely they began to resort to stealing and fighting for what they needed to survive. They were robbing stores for food and beverages... breaking into abandoned places to have shelter for the night... and robbing houses to make what little money they could. The Brothers began to live life as criminals and enjoyed it. What they didn't know was they were being watched constantly. One afternoon the brother began to make their way to a new spot they had heard was quite profitable for anyone willing to take the risk, but, on the way they were stopped by a couple gentlemen who spoke very little english and telling them to come with them. At first they refused but were no match for these men once they pulled out guns and demanded they follow them. Ezekial and Gavriel proceeded to follow the men into a nearby abandoned building where a gentleman and a girl around their age were waiting. The gentleman began to offer Ezekial and Gavriel many things including a life filled with riches. Both boys looked at eachother trying to figure out who they were and what was going on when they both noticed the mark on the mans arm. They began to look around the room as they noticed all the men in the room had the same marking on the left side of their neck. The image was that of a something unholy which they later found out was the marking for The Devil's Cartel. A group known for drug and gun smuggling, kidnapping and torturing, and many other things. Ezekial and Gavriel not fully knowing what they were getting into agreed to go with these people and attempt to better their lives via their methods. However, they had no idea how far and deep these ties would run and how much true danger they were in...

  10. +1, there is actually a location down on the docks that looks like its a scenario testing facility next to the Merryweather gates. Could be a really fun idea.
  11. Massive +1 along with bringing back speakers and stereos. City isn't the same without having clubs and the casino open. It lacks any nightlife.
  12. Massive +1 From a personal standpoint I'm in a government job and a business that's based off commission but mainly there for RP. But because of that I lose an actual job slot. I think having 3 would be amazing and make many peoples overall RP progress into something more than they expected.
  13. Neons in general aren't working currently. I contacted staff in game and they said the most recent patch messed them up.
  14. @isBrainDed I have none enabled. People running Reshade and Enb can actually see inside the interiors. Anyone without them can't see anything.
  15. So since the new update, whenever you go inside custom interiors for business properties its pitch black. Due to the recent night time change and the fact the interiors are in the night all the time it seems, now you cant see anything inside. I have tried it in multiple properties and even checked my own settings with no fix. This kind of makes having business properties useless.

  16. ((Music for your enjoyment -- Danheim & Gealdýr - Bana - YouTube )) Bjor woke up early one day and decided it was a good day for fishing and that he needed to begin making money to get necessary supplies for the settlement once he found a piece of land for purchase. As he woke up he began his daily routine of washing his face and hands, followed by a prayer to the Gods and Goddesses. He walked over to the shoreline and kneeled down placing his hands upon his thighs as he looked up into the sky with his eyes closed. Hail to the Æsir! Hail to the Vanir! Hail to the gods and goddesses of my folk! Hail to my ancestors that watch over me! Hail to the local land wights that guard and guide! Hail to the bounteous earth and the earth mother! Words and wisdom give to us noble beings, and healing hands while I live. Hail! As he finished the words, he bowed his head and took a deep breath in as he began to hear the caw of a Raven passing by. He peaked with his eyes to the left and watched where it flew which was straight to the pier. Bjor looked over and said to himself, "This is where I shall fish today if the Gods will it." As he began to gather his things and load them into the truck, he looked around one last time taking in the view at the beach and made his way down the pier. Bjor was not expecting much from this day except to make some money and catch some fish... after all he had no home here or food so he was living off the land currently. As the day progressed he decided to let the wolves out of the truck for a bit and began to feed them some of the fish he caught knowing they too were probably hungry. As he kneeled down and fed them he heard an unfamiliar voice come from behind him speaking one word, "Odinson?" His instinct was to immediately reach for his axe not knowing who or what this person wanted until the word registered in his head. He tilted his head sideways and looked over his shoulder, speaking softly, "Praise to the All-Father, Odin. Are you one of my folk, my friend?" As the words left his mouth he noticed what seem to be a man with shaggy hair and the beginnings of a beard in front of him. He smirked and waited for a response. The man responded with, "I have been looking all over this place for fellow folk and have found none until today. Praise to the Gods, we have finally found someone." Bjor began to realize why the Raven flew here and what was happening, but, before him was only one man... who was this "we". He looked over and began to talk with the man in depth regarding how he came to the city and why. From what he gathered this mans name was Ivar Orvik and he had made the journey from his village along with his wife came with him, Revna Orvik. All three of them talked for sometime and discussed many things of their culture and the ways they were raised. Before too long they both looked at Bjor and complimented on his tattoo he had gotten back him, the wings of the Valkyrie. They then told Bjor they had similar tattoos and showed him. Their tattoos were not just similar, they were exact matches. They had gotten them before the journey to this land. They all agreed that meeting was the Will of the Gods and Ivar and Revna had agreed to become apart of the new settlement and clan. Bjor constantly thinking of making ways for the Sons of Odin to be identified, he proposed an idea to Ivar and Revna, both of them agreed... members of the Sons of Odin would need to go through the process of having the Wings of the Valkyrie tattooed on them. It would be another step on top of swearing an oath on your armband. As the day progressed, Bjor became very tired and wanted some rest but not before handing Ivar and Revna their armbands and having them swear an oath to him. They both agreed to become apart of the cause and swore their allegiance to the Sons of Odin. Our people were far and few in this city so we needed to band together to begin our settlement, this much is true. Bjor bid them farewell getting into his truck as he made his way off the pier, it was late and now things had began to go as planned. He knew now, he would need as much rest as possible to begin working hard and long so the settlement could prosper.
  17. I have had a few run ins with Goblins on my current main and its always been a good time. However, on my crim, I have approached Goblins and tried to spark a conversation and have got told numerous times to "shut the fuck up and leave the area". Meanwhile this has happened on the pier, at parking, at the bank, and at a few other locations. The only difference between the two is...my current main is known.... my crim is not. It kind of puts things in perspective when your on a character who isnt known to anyone compared to a character who has been around for over a year. I really want Sons of Odin to become something and help progress ECRP and the other factions into a lot of really good RP situations but as it stands right now, even the most basic of conversations cant even be had so why would I bother trying to get more. I will not be giving up on Sons of Odin but the fact of trying to establish connections with other gangs right now with the constant conflicts just doesn't seem worth it in the end. If Sons of Odin sides with one group and they get wiped out, then Sons of Odin becomes the next target for helping someone who was friendly to them.....Sons of Odin helps the side who wins, then Sons of Odin becomes a target for helping the other group who was friendly to them. That's the sad thing with all of this, people and groups affiliate with others due to SOME common goals and its not always the enemy of my enemy is my friend type deal... alot of times its for mutual gains as far as manpower, weapons, vehicles, or just friendly conversation. When shit goes south, well you help the people who helped you and had your back. Doesnt necessarily mean you hate or have issues with the other group your friend is fighting, its just they asked for your help. A smart decision is to avoid it due to its not your conflict but sadly, with how things have currently been going, it seems that also would make you a target. ECRP has become the land of CLAPPERS honestly. Hopefully the RP standards of ACTUAL RP return so we can get factions to have Legacies like Aztecas, Zetas, Triads, and FSO. But if the RP standard stays the way it is... factions will just become another group to vanish and become archived.
  18. So I already know that this is probably going to get hated on or get a whole lot of negative emotes, but, honestly I don't really care due to it has gotten out of hand. And yes this is mainly targeted at crim. Recently I started a faction called Sons of Odin and the outreach regarding it on an OOC level has been very welcoming and nice due to it's a faction following very closely to lore and it's unique to ECRP in the sense, no one has ever done a Norse style faction. However with that comes a whole host of issues because of the very limited clothing. I wanted this idea to fit into how Vikings dressed, lived, made money, etc. So naturally I put on a leather vest and instantly Sons of Odin has become a trademark symbol of being a MC (which it's by far, not a MC). On top of this I have been trying for a few days to do RP regarding who Sons of Odin is and been met with some encounters that leave me wondering if we are here to RP or not. Now obviously not every encounter we have on the server will be a huge RP situation where it's a blast but some RP is always better than none. Well lately I have ran into some of the other factions on both my characters and it seems the only time they even speak is to insult you, rob you, clap you, or to tell you to shut the fuck up. The standard that the factions are currently held to seems to be not watched or at a high standard. I bring this up due to recently a few factions have been started by staff on the server, Original Covenant Ballas - Lost MC, for example. Obviously they are automatically official due to being apart of staff and it is what it is. However, I have met with people in Lost MC and they have conversations and talk to you as a person. They know the meaning of RPing and enjoy doing it. There are other groups which aren't crim who also love RPing with people and having conversations. Now why is this? Well for starters these Staff Started factions have a high standard they want when beginning them and they monitor to make sure the shit is going like it should. They keep tabs on things and they make sure if people don't understand the standard that they get the help to fix it. Sons of Odin is my baby and dream, I want it to hit this point, but, sadly other factions are not wanting to adjust to the higher standard. I still am seeing people using the old system of /me and /do, but, now responding with /do in /me. I love ECRP and have been here for 3 years. My original character was in Rooks and it was the best time of my life but due to IRL reasons I had to sadly kill the character off because it became too hard to play. Now I have my legal character who was crim at some point and the RP he was always in was so high it was unreal. I interacted with FSO, Triads, Zetas, OG Aztecas, New Aztecas, and other groups. Even as a MEDIC they still always shot for the stars regarding RP interactions. I remember sitting at the Paleto Hospital next to the church and just hanging out with Aztecas before they had ceremonies at the church or just bullshitting with them. Sadly, now the only time I ever run into any crims is if I am being robbed OR giving them rides to a hospital because they got clapped (Or calling coroners for their dead body). So I ask, what happened? Is the money and grind really all that important? Is having a title of "Top Gang" that important? Where did the RPers go? Where did the fun times of the OGs go? I know the OGs left and moved on, but, does that mean the crim world and the RP had to go with them. Also I know some of you are going to come on here claiming "Staff killed crim and blah blah blah".... I call bullshit. We the players killed Crim World. We are all in control of our own RP and those of us leading our factions should be controlling the RP standard that comes from our members. Help them make a better world for current and future players. Legal side wise... well I was in LSEMS but left due to I began to hate it. This new influx of NEW PLAYERS took a toll on me due to well I was sitting on /b almost 75% of the time trying to explain how to RP a broken leg or a broken arm. The RP became dull and very lacking. Upon talking to other people I knew in PD and SD, they said the same thing, they were dealing with a lot of scenes filled with /b. It sucks, it really does. I have been around for 4 of these MASSIVE influxes and every time it's the same thing and every time, the same issues. So in my honest opinion the only way to fix this is CHANGE THE QUIZ. The quiz in its current state as stated by a staff member, is meant to see if you know the server rules....nothing about if you know how to RP. Maybe it's time to change that, make the quiz so they need to show examples of how to RP and make it so the quiz will be random every time so it doesn't end up on REDDIT or on YouTube videos with all the answers. We have factions being made by STAFF with a high standard of RP with a quiz tailored toward BEGINNER RPers. So I ask the staff to please look into this further and decide what standard of RP you want ECRP to be before it gets so far out of hand, it becomes problematic. I love the things people are putting in the Staff Factions, hell I have begun taking pointers from them for my own faction. But it can only do so much when the level of RP on the player side is not up to par. It would not be fair to deny one person because they are a novice RPer and then take someone else because they are a Pro RPer. Suggestions to fix any of this stuff is pretty much above in what I said. Hopefully others who feel the same way speak up. Hopefully this post isn't taken the completely wrong way. I love ECRP and if I didn't I would not have as much as I do donated. I have made my fair share of mistakes on this server and learned from them every time. Now all I can do is hope that the voices of the players who have been here for so long get heard and changes can be made. I hope one day Sons of Odin goes down in the books and to a RP standard of the Staff Factions, but, I can only do that if other factions are willing to promote that same level of standard.
  19. This is one of the saddest things I have read recently. What the fuck am I going to do without Travis Fucking Rashguard. And now who's going to do the Sons of Odin story.
  20. File a ban appeal in the DECISION APPEAL section.
  21. ((Music for your enjoyment -- Danheim & Heldom - Blodfest (Official Music Video) - YouTube)) ((WARNING - THERE IS A RITUAL TYPE SACRIFICE IN THIS UPDATE - IF IT IS NOT YOUR THING IT IS LABELED WITH ** SO YOU CAN SKIP IT)) It had been weeks since Bjor began his quest to begin the clan, Sons of Odin, in the city of Los Santos and it came with a host of problems from the start. The farmlands, lumberyards, hunting grounds, and fishing areas seemed to be barren of people. His mind began to wander thinking of where he could find people willing to believe in the Gods and swear an oath to him. He was using knowledge based on his years in the village and the surrounding area, but, that knowledge was proving useless. People in the city and in the outskirts of the country area were different… they were not like him nor the people back home. He needed to begin putting things in motion but how. Bjor began to wander through the forests looking all over for any signs from the Gods before he came upon a patch of mushrooms near a tree on the mountain. As he bent over and picked the mushrooms they began to make him think of home and what they did when they felt lost or needed guidance… he knew what he had to do. Bjor began to wander through the forest looking for any animals and being cautious to not spook anything away. As he wandered through the forest, he noticed several rabbit holes and began to plan out how he would get them alive. He unsheathed his axe and began to cut down small branches from nearby trees, crafting a few spring traps to snare the rabbits. He began placing them throughout the area and once he was done, he made his way back to his truck and parked it on a hill, letting his eyes rest for a while as he dreamed of home. Several hours had passed as Bjor began to awake to the sunlight shining through the windshield of his truck. He began to walk through the forest to a nearby river he found and gently cleaned his face and hands. Once he was done, he began walking to the traps one by one before finally finding three traps which had done their jobs. He had captured three rabbits of a decent size and placed them in some cages he had made before resting. Once the moon had blessed the sky, he would begin what needed to be done to get guidance. ** The Moon once again rested high in the night sky as Bjor began to light torches around the area on the mountain he had begun to frequent often. As the torches burned brightly into the darkness surrounding the forest, he walked off to the cage and grabbed each rabbit one by one, tying them to a pole placed in the center of the torches. He walked to his truck and grabbed a few bowls and carried them over to the center of the torches placing them down in front of each rabbit before unsheathing his axe from his waist. He kneeled down in front of the rabbits and began to do what he was raised to follow as it was tradition and culture. As the bowls slowly filled, he dipped his fingers into the bowls and smeared the blood onto his face in a few lines and began to speak while looking into the sky. “Hail Odin, god of wisdom and war, may you grant me a hint of your knowledge so I may use it for the benefit of myself and my community. Please accept my sacrifice and deem them worthy. Hail Odin, The All-Father!” As the words left his mouth, the sound of Ravens cawing in the forest broke the silence and the torches began to slowly blow out. Bjor looked around and noticed one Raven in particular which was perched on a torch in front of him. The Raven began to tilt its head and cawing as if speaking directly to him… within a blink of an eye it began to circle Bjor before flying and landing on his truck. He walked over and got inside it, trying to follow the Raven to the best of his ability. Before he knew it he was overlooking a creek and woman, familiar fishing from the waters. Immedietly he could not believe what he was seeing, thought to be lost, then brought a sense of peace to him. He called out a warriors call holding his axe in the air and she looked toward the peak, responding immediately as if it was natural to them both. Before him was an acquaintance of his, Aurora. She was a Shield Maiden he grew up with and fought beside a few times. She came from a neighboring village when she was young to train and have a place to call home, but after a string of bad luck was lost at sea. Odin had heard his prayer and gave him guidance. As his mind began to think he was no longer lost, the Raven began to fly around them above before many more Raven joined in circling the area above. Bjor looked to Aurora and smirked before speaking softly but stern. “We have a lot of work to do Aurora. We shall claim fame in these uncharted lands and begin a new legacy under colors not of our fathers, shall we? We shall bring the ways of the Viking into the modern era.” Bjor and Aurora began to think of what really represented the ways of the Viking. They were one with nature and of the Gods. However, everything they did and had was due to the Gods. The earth, the water, the air… it was all from the Gods. Then it hit them, they would begin flying the colors of the water and earth.

  23. Before I even log into Bjor, I sit here for like an hour listening to music specifically tailored for my designing and wanting to bring this idea to ECRP. I'm so excited to see what becomes of this and I am shocked so far at the outreach I have received from people regarding this idea and the fact it has never been done before.
  24. Faction Management can remove this. Everyone who was involved has left the server due to IRL or other reasons not disclosed to me.
