I Am A: Chaotic Good GnomeBard Ranger

Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.

Race:
Gnomes are also short, like dwarves, but much skinnier. They have no beards, and are very inclined towards technology, although they have been known to dabble in magic, too. They tend to be fun-loving and fond of jokes and humor. Some gnomes live underground, and some live in cities and villages. They are very tolerant of other races, and are generally well-liked, though occasionally considered frivolous.

Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.

Secondary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Deity:
Finder Wyvernspur is the Chaotic Neutral god of the cycle of life and the transformation of art, although he leans heavily towards Good. He is also known as the Nameless Bard. Followers of Finder believe that everything must change in order to grow and thrive. Their preferred weapon is the bastard sword.

Trying to save a friend...

Eric carries Alec through the portal to his appartment. After setting him carefully down on the couch, he goes to the closet and finds a spare blanket, which he places over the other man. Then he slips into the kitchen to start some tea.

You Are Japanese Food

Strange yet delicious.
Contrary to popular belief, you're not always eaten raw.

What Kind of Food Are You?

Damn you, Ali, for tagging me.

You really expect a Bard to choose only seven songs???

Instructions: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Livejournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Brandenburg Concerto #3, Bach

2. The Entertainer, Billy Joel
I am the entertainer
And I've had to pay my price
The things I did not know at first
I learned by doin' twice

3. Perfect, Alanis Morrisette
Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

4. My World, 3 Doors Down
And you're trapped inside this world you made yourself
but that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me

5. Farewell to Music, Turlough O'Carolan

6. Make Up Your Mind, Theory of a Deadman
Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening?
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking
I'll sit back and relax and wait for the morning

We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time

7. Molly on the Shore, Percy Aldridge Grainger

I'm not going to tag people beacuase I can't think of seven people who read this journal. Pathetic, hmm?

OOC: Betting pool!

Thu, 08 Jun 2006 22:16:21 GMT

Veet and I were discussing the series, and how all the titles are from the song Mad Tom O'Bedlam. And so we thought, hmmm, I wonder what the next one will be called? So, place your bets, if you will. You won't win anything, of course, because I'm cheap, but you'll get a wonderful warm glow.

(Current titles in bold)
(Claimed guesses in italics)

For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand miles I traveled
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
To save her shoes from gravel.

Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.

I went down to Satan's kitchen
To break my fast one morning
And there I got souls piping hot
All on the spit a-turning.

There I took a cauldron
Where boiled ten thousand harlots
Though full of flame I drank the same
To the health of all such varlets.

My staff has murdered giants
My bag a long knife carries
To cut mince pies from children's thighs
For which to feed the fairies.

No gypsy, slut or doxy
Shall win my mad Tom from me
I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight
The fray shall well become me.

From the hag and hungry goblin
That into rags would rend ye,
All the sprites that stand by the naked man
In the book of moons, defend ye.

With a thought I took for Maudlin,
And a cruse of cockle pottage,
With a thing thus tall, Sky bless you all,
I befell into this dotage.

I slept not since the Conquest,
Till then I never waked,
Till the naked (rougish) boy of love where I lay
Me found and stript me naked.

I know more than Apollo,
For oft when he lies sleeping
I see the stars at mortal wars
In the wounded welkin weeping.

The moon embrace her shepherd,
And the Queen of Love her warrior,
While the first doth horn the star of morn,
And the next the heavenly farrier.

Of thirty years have I
Twice twenty been enraged
And of forty been three times fifteen
In durance soundly caged

On the lordly lofts of Bedlam
With stubble soft and dainty,
Brave bracelets strong, sweet whips, ding-dong,
With wholesome hunger plenty.

When I short have shorn my sour-face
And swigged my horny barrel
In an oaken inn, I pound my skin
As a suit of gilt apparel.

The moon's my constant mistress,
And the lonely owl my marrow;
The flaming drake and the night crow make
Me music to my sorrow.

The spirits white as lightening
Would on my travels guide me
The stars would shake and the moon would quake
Whenever they espied me.

And then that I'll be murdering
The Man in the Moon to the powder
His staff I'll break, his dog I'll shake
And there'll howl no demon louder.

With a host of furious fancies,
Whereof I am commander,
With a burning spear and a horse of air
To the wilderness I wander.

By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summoned am to tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide world's end-
Methinks it is no journey.

The palsy plagues my pulses
When I prig your pigs or pullen
Your culvers take, or matchless make
Your Chanticleer or sullen.

When I want provant, with Humphry
I sup, an when benighted
I repose in Paul's with waking souls,
Yet never am affrighted.

The Gipsys, Snap and Pedro
Are none of Tom's comradoes,
The punk I scorn, and the cutpurse sworn
And the roaring boy's bravadoes.

The meek, the white, the gentle,
Me handle not nor spare not;
But those that cross Tom Rhinoceros(Rynosseross)
Do what the panther dare not

That of your five sound senses
You never be forsaken,
Nor wander from your selves with Tom
Abroad to beg your bacon.

I'll bark against the Dog-Star
I'll crow away the morning
I'll chase the Moon till it be noon
And I'll make her leave her horning.

I now reprent that ever
Poor Tom was so disdain-ed
My wits are lost since him I crossed
Which makes me thus go chained

So drink to Tom of Bedlam
Go fill the seas in barrels
I'll drink it all, well brewed with gall
And maudlin drunk I'll quarrel

I vote for the ten thousand harlots, myself.
ETA: To have a serious vote, I'm going with "For which to feed the fairies"

A very dangerous question...

Taken from Ali.

If you had me alone...locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you do with me? Then repost this.

Thu, 01 Jun 2006 04:46:10 GMT

Damn. Never, ever, ever say the words "I am glad I don't have an alternate" withing fifty feet of a portal to the Nexus. Never. Me, from the night Maureen dumped me. Right before I woke up Korendil. When everything was at its worst...

Sun, 28 May 2006 23:43:18 GMT

Eric sets the little one down on the grass in the middle of Central Park. After establishing a few shields against any baddies that might happen across them, he starts playing softly. Your daughter is safe, and in my care. Come to me here. She will be returned to you.

Sat, 27 May 2006 23:46:44 GMT

Eric mutters to himself as he glares at the teakettle until it boils. "Teenagers. Can't live with them, and murder's too risky." He snorts.

A hint of music

Wed, 24 May 2006 13:25:50 GMT

Eric assembles his flute and raises it slowly to his lips. He holds it there for a moment as he decides what to play. He smiles, and soon the notes of the third Brandenburg Concerto fill the air. He can't always play the Celtic stuff, after all. He's always liked the structure, the solidity of Bach's Brandenburgs.

All right...

Sun, 21 May 2006 16:31:20 GMT

I seem to be mentally stable again, at least, as much as I can ever be. As much as I hate to admit it, therapy helps alot. That is, if you're the one paying the bills, and the therapist isn't just trying to please your parents. It's been really quiet lately. Is it wrong of me to be looking into the shadows, wondering what's next?

Sun, 09 Apr 2006 21:59:04 GMT

Note to self: I need to talk to Dr. Dunaway. I said something to Magnus earlier that made me worry about... myself. Power. All that jazz. Also, need to remember to mention Alec's problem to her, see if she can help.

Fri, 31 Mar 2006 17:43:00 GMT

((Eric is being reset for serious, back-to-canon roleplaying. To start out with, at least. I've lost touch with him over the long period of disuse. He's going back to the beginning. Any friends he made in various RPs are welcome to continue talking to him, but their relationships might change. And... Sorry, Ellen, but re-applying canon means he's still with Ria. Not that it matters, as he hasn't been around for months, anyway. I'm sure she's living without him. And yes, I know how irritating this is for everyone involved, but it's the only way I can bring him back to life. And he deserves to live.))

Hectic preparations

Fri, 23 Sep 2005 03:43:48 GMT

Eric rushed around, tidying up the clutter of a student who doesn't have much time for cleaning. He shoved most of his posessions in his bedroom, since, unless something unexpected happened, they wouldn't go in there, and if it DID, then they wouldn't be thinking about the decor. Or the mess. He blushed slightly, trying to get those thoughts out of his head. After it was, if not spotless, at least neat, he sent a questioning thought towards the roof.

:Greystone?:

:Aye, laddybuck?: the gargoyle responded, his thoughts even in his colorful Bronx-Irish accent.

:I'm having a friend over for a bit... She has no magical experience, and I'd like to keep it that way for now. So...: He broke off, hoping he hadn't offended his friend.

There was a mental chuckle as Greystone considered that. :So, I take it I'm not invited to the party.:

:For now, at least,: Eric replied gratefully. :I just don't know how she'd react. I want to ease her into this slowly.:

:No prob, kiddo. Have fun.: There was a distinct leer in the gargoyle's thought.

:It's not like that!: Eric could feel his cheeks heating.

:I know, laddybuck. I just love that red color you turn.:

"Oh, shut up," he muttered. He ran to the kitchen to check his stock of sodas and water for perhaps the fiftieth time.

Silly memes... just because I've been gone. Grins

Let's see... Well, I found out I had a teenage brother. I found out that that brother had run away and was probably living on the streets somewhere. My parents, apparently, never got any sense and did the SAME damn things to him that they'd done to me. He just ran away while they could still do something about it. Luckily, I found him first. And with him, I also found Ace, who'd run away from her televangelist father who'd been using her singing talent for money, and Jaycie, AKA Jachiel ap Gabreyvys, a young elf from the Unseleigh Court who'd run away as well. Poor kid was drugged out on Coke (the drink, not cocaine. Caffine is the worst drug imaginable for elves.) I got all three kids off the streets, sent Jaycie to Elfhame Misthold for safe keeping, and, of course, stopped some evil people from killing and/or taking over the world. Maybe the load will lighten up this year...

I met a lot of new friends, too. Ellen, Foxy, Skif... I hope you all work out your problems. Know that I'm always here if you need help. Oh, and for the first time, I've drawn the attention of the gods. Not sure if I should be worried or overjoyed that Loki and Cupid seem to like me...
