Epic Dream I
You must save her. You must save her.
She whispered. There was no column of air that struck my ears. I wasn’t hearing anything. This voice was without voice, but she spoke in my head as if she was a memory or a thought. She spoke as if she was a thought which was not of my own. But deep down inside, she was familiar, and she was me.
Save her.
I awoke. I could smell the earth. It was fresh, as if I could smell all which had created this earth. It was as if I could smell all the animals that have walked past it, all the plants which have grown and withered on this patch of earth. It was damp, and a little warm from my body and growing warming as the rising sun pierced through an overcast white sky. The dried grass and leaves cracked beneath me, and some folded when wet with dew. I was on a hill. I was on a forest with great birch trees still bearing wide brown, orange, red and yellow leaves. I saw a young lion cub, crashing through twigs, leaves and grass, rolling wildly down the hill but eventually fading… like a dream.
Save her.
The voice spoke, I thought I heard it besides me and I turned. I was in an endless forest in all directions with no landmarks or outcropping to distinguish the forest for miles. Eventually I saw her, I saw someone familiar. I found a great lioness stripped of her glory. She was badly beaten and bruised, her golden brown fur smeared red. She laid belly down with her arms and limbs tucked around her. Hair tailed coiled around. Her body had given up as she stared at a great white buck whose great antlers still covered with white velvet-like snow. It’s antlers were still growing. The veins still coursed with blood and fed it. Those great antlers fractured through air like a river.
Now that animal stood its head up and strong. It conveyed power as it stared at me with its eyes. Its bronze fur was streaked with white who seem to begin from its head, and trickle across its body like a waterfall. It was moving, these streaks of white- it moved like water.
The lioness, this feeling told me that this lioness was the mother, and it was her I must save. This feeling, this thought rolled through my head, as my pushed myself up from the ground. My toes buried itself through the earth. I inhaled. I inhaled as if I was pulled the universe into my very lungs, and I charged. With my head down, I charged towards the rushing buck whose antlers were directed towards the lioness. It was going for the kill; it was going to spear this mother. The earth beneath us shook with his and my steps. His hooves echoed like great voices warning of the power it held. It was a rhythm. It felt like I could calculate the end point of this war song. It ended when I held this great beast back.
I held this great buck by its antlers in a stalemate struggle as I stood between in and the lioness. I held it antlers soft and smooth almost like silk, the antlers beneath felt like it was pliable but unbreakable. I held its head down as it tried to push and pull away. The streaks, like a waterfall, violently rumbled through its fur with power. The leaves seem to blow outwards with the buck at the center. I could feel the air in my lungs vacuumed out my mouth from the force exuding from this animal.
She was mine. She was mine to save. Clutching tightly on it’s beautiful velvet antlers as I stared into its eyes, I twisted its head. For a moment, everything seemed to have stood still. It seemed like I died and everything else have died, and stood still for just this moment. Then something broke through. Tension built and now it broke. The buck began to crack like a tree crashing into the forest. Its body stayed at its place, yet its head felt like it was torn away from it’s body. The antlers in my hand seem to harden- it was drying. The waterfall streaks roaring through its fur washed out, and its white fur grew brown. It began to crack. Like dying wood it began to crack and soon it was decomposing and crumbling. The dust which was once the great deer blew into the wind. The force it exuded died and I could breath. Even the trees seemed like it had feeling of relief as the last of the leaves began to cascade down towards us.
This lioness was mine to save, and I carried her. As I reached for her, more visions, like more memories appeared in my head. I had to take her to an ancient dead god which had left its mark on earth as a blessed pool. This pool was on top of a jagged mountain range, but unlike the other peaks which were covered with just snow, this pool was full of life. It was an eternal green spring with wild flowers and vines growing and brimming around its edges. I had to take the lioness into the pool so she may save her cub.
Along with those revelation was the next obstacle, it was a great monkey. It was a large white baboon whose fur seemed to be covered with ceaseless snow. Its fur rose as spikes of icicles, and it’s touch was chilling. Its bare chest and belly, rippled with muscle, and it’s breath puffed through it’s nose. The breath, the breath was boiling hot steam. In those images, in those prophetic images, I stared into its black eyes. It was waiting; it was waiting for me…

Dreams, this is the dream journal portion of this... journal
082808
While I was at home, I saw a plane above, flying, then suddenly it's tail breaking off, at one side, then swinging onto itself, and shattering the rest of the plane. I saw it hurling over the neighborhood and crashing.
Then I saw some kids watching, suddenly I find them in my house as the track the trail of the plane, so I asked them how they got in, and they menacingly told me, they went through the window of my room.
I woke up around 4:30 AM. Random info: My neighbor's rims were stolen.

I was in a storm with old ships crashing into the shore, being pulverised
Disaster at the docks.
A valley hiked, rocky edges, then a tsunami coming, run!
Vampires. Vampire family defended from vamipire eating vamipres!

Ideas For A Good RP
-A group should should be small
-RP should be focused
-Minimum of 100 words and maximum of 350 (arbitrary)
-Set time and perhaps deadlines
-Have a mechanism for story progression which includes one that would "kill" inactive players.
-Background setting should be playable by multiple groups, they may cross but never conflict.
If my life was a video game/movie/show etc.
Opening Theme: Where Is My Mind by The Pixies
Battle Theme: Tetris Theme, Tired of Being Sorry by Ringside
Ending Credits: Going The Distance by Cake, Canon in D by Pachelbel
Love song: Endlessly by Muse

Measures of Power System. Construction in progress
Every guild is to have an equal number of points, and they will be distributed towards the guild’s strength and members under the guild leader’s discretion. Points applied to the guild/country will reveal the strength of the country from the number of its people, and to its defenses. These points will be used for character stats that would explain the character’s strength and leadership qualities. These points are of course to be used in battles.
Character Stats
Duel Stat
There are two duel stats that determine a character’s ability to fight other generals/warriors, offense and defense.
Offense determines a general’s ability to strike an opponent. Each stat point is to be added to their rolls in attacking.
Defense determines a general’s ability to parry or dodge an attack. Each stat point is to be deducted from opponent’s attack rolls.
*Only 5 points maximum are to be distributed between Offense and Defense.
Leadership Stat
Leadership stat explains a general’s ability to lead an army and how many soldiers he can control. Leadership stats are also divided into two: Strategy and charisma.
Strategy determines how well a general can use its army to its fullest proficiency. Each stat point gives the general an extra roll of the dice beyond the initial attack roll.
Charisma determines the general’s ability to acquire soldiers and keep them in their ranks. Beyond the first 100 soldiers, each stat point gives the general an extra 50.
*Only 5 points maximum are to be distributed between Strategy and Charisma.
Country Stats
*Each country stat has to have at least one point and cannot exceed 5 points.
Population
Population is the overall condition of the kingdom’s people. There are two stats under population, health and training.
Health determines the health of the people and as well as the growth of the country. Each point gives the country 500 people.
Training determines the people’s experience and skills in warfare. Each point means 10% of your population are going to be soldiers and willing to sign up for war.
Walls
The walls stats will explain a country ability to fend off invaders and keep the city intact. Walls is a stat by itself. Each point in walls reduces soldier, population and wall loss by 10%.
