Subject: Well that was quick
This whole thing was falling apart faster than Bran had ever thought it would. Part of him said to just let her go, but she had been the only person to ever treat him like an equal and not a sick charity case, so he had to go after her. He knew though that he would never be able to catch her on foot and so he drove his cane forcefully into the ground, leaving it there as he shifted into his favored form for travel and scouting, that of a crow, and took off in the direction she had run, not bothering to say a word to either of the others.

Topic: Orion Group take 2
Subject: 1 for 1
Yes it is indeed a 1 to 1 buy. You start with zero and buy into stats one point at a time. This allows a little more customization while still insuring that everyone is on the same level as opposed to letting everyone roll their own scores.

Topic: Orion Group take 2
Subject: 3 in
Okay folks, I have 3 characters in as of now, a hit and run ftr/rog, a laser ninja, and a caster (arcane and divine). Still have not heard anything else from Brianna, nor have I heard anything else from Dakarta.
That said I am not in any real hurry to rush this game into play phase, so sit tight and thanks for your patience.

Physical Description:
Khetarin stands two inches over six feet and will blend into a stone wall while wearing his grey-dyed Monk's Outfit or grey and charcoal cloak. The man keeps his sandy-colored hair pulled back in a pony-tail, though it's just barely long enough to do so and strands will often get loose and hang in his face. He has a boyish grin that some find very disarming, but for most it can't pull attention away from his unsettling grey eyes which, in the right light, have a slight crimson tint to them.
Personality:
A very stoic man, Khetarin very rarely shows any emotion at all on his face. This combined with a tendency to observe a situation before acting (or contributing to a conversation) lead many to believe him an overly sour person. This is not the case, however. Khetarin derives great joy from relieving over-confident nobles of the prized valuables they once thought were beyond the reach of any thief. Even though he is capable of quickly ending the life of one of his marks, giving him time to thoroughly search a now unowned home, he prefers to avoid conflict and blood-shed whenever possible and leave his victims alive to spread word of his undetected visits.

Subject: meh
Bran shrugged again, and was caught so off guard by the sudden hug that he almost lost his balance and fell. He quickly caught himself with his cane, hoping no one would notice and quickly readjusted his coat and check to make sure his book and everything else was still in the right places. He said or did nothing to acknowledge the hug itself, or the even more intense glares being shot his way. Instead he just trudged on, his cane making a dull thud against the path they followed.

Bran had of course heard her outbursts from just on the other side as he had just managed to reach the main entrance, and from the sound of things no one was having a very good morning so far, and he was expecting that the day would only get worse as it dragged on.
Stepping out into the hazy light of dawn he spoke, softly, showing signs of being short of breath again, "No need to cheer up or put on a fake smile for my sake, its not like I had any better a night or morning myself." He shrugged his usual shrug, his response to most of the people around here and again chose not to acknowledge Cain's disapproving glares.

Subject: gah!
The morning had come too soon, especially for someone who constantly woke up in the night coughing himself hoarse. But none the less he had to make his way to the check point and meet with the others, as much as he was against the idea.
He hurriedly brushed his hair, making it presentable before pulling on a smoke gray tank top, a pair of black cargo pants with plenty of pockets, steel-toed combat boots, and a sleeveless trench coat also with plenty of pockets. He had to travel light, so he always preferred to only carry what he could get into his pockets.
He gathered up his usual pocket clutter, namely his knife, PDA, some loose cash and change, and of course his medication. He then picked up the leather bound book he had been reading and placed it into his coat pocket before grabbing his cane from the urn by the door where he kept it and heading out to meet the others.

Subject: gotta reputation to maintain
Bran gave a half shrug and muttered a quick, "I'll keep that in mind." He then reached into one of the large pockets in the cargo pants he was wearing and pulled out a book with a plain leather cover. There was no title on the book, no author, and no other markings at all that might indicate what the book was. He then opened it to a page he had marked previously and started to read silently, content to lose himself in its contents.

Subject: stubborn as ever
Taking quick shallow breaths Bran managed to calm his breathing and said, "I'll be fine, trust me, I've been dealing with this for years. It will pass, and once I get sat down in here it will be much better for me." Quickly covering his mouth he went into another quick coughing fit and turned away from her, hating his cough more than ever.
He knew a lot of people were always whispering about how they were going to catch what he had from all this coughing, how the big rumors were that his condition was a highly contagious disease and that he was going to end up making every last one of them sick as he was. This of course was crazy talk, not only was his condition genetic, it was not contagious in the slightest, and the cough wasn't even related to his physical health but an unfortunate side effect of the night his mother had been murdered.

Subject: uh huh
Bran shrugged again, "Well he has a real screwed up way of showing that he cares, to truly care means not being ashamed to show that you care in front of others.."
As they arrived at the entrance to the library Bran paused to open the door and leaned against it for a moment, clearly out of breath from the walk there.

Subject: random thought
Bran paused for a moment, not sure if he should voice his true opinions on her brother or not, he was after all the only family she had. He finally sighed and answered the question, "Honestly I have no idea, but does the arrogant fool really like anyone but himself? He doesn't treat you much better than he treats the rest of us after all."

Subject: Bring us a shruggery
Bran walked on, his cane clacking against the tile floor as it always did, he said nothing to the last statement, merely shrugged it off sensing that saying anything more would only serve to further embarrass her.
He turned away again for another quick cough, then rounded the corner in the corridor that would lead him to his own personal hide away, the library.

Subject: cough cough hack
Feeling another cough coming on Bran turns away from Kari-Bliss and rushes to cover his mouth as the horrible hacking he's had to endure since he was little started again. He always hated these coughing fits, they interrupted everything from conversations, lessons, and even books. Once the coughing finally stopped he wiped his hand off on his pants, slightly disgusted that he had to do it.
Taking a brief moment to catch his breath again he sighs and apologizes, "Sorry about that, I still haven't managed to get that under control even after all these years." He pushed more hair out of his face, tucking it behind his ears, and added, "Thank you for walking with me though, but you really didn't have to..."

Bran shook his head again, then moved some of the hair away from his face, "I don't need any help, thank you though, I have to learn to manage on my own." Realizing he may sound rude he adds, "But I suppose if you want to walk with me I can't turn down the company."

Subject: You slow us down?!
Bran shook his head as he got up, his long hair falling more into his face as he hobbled by on his cane. He stopped for a brief moment to speak to Kari-Bliss, "If you think you're going to slow everyone down imagine how I feel, I can't even walk across the school without this cane, and even then I get short of breath."
What he really thought he didn't dare speak aloud, It seems obvious to me that this death mission is a way to get rid of us all, the school is clearly more interested in focusing on younger more promising students...

Topic: The Killing Instincts: Of Man and Magic
Subject: Bran's Intro
As was his usual custom in these classes Bran took a seat in one of the back corners where he could relax and avoid the stares of most of the class. It was no secret that many of the people here did not care for him, especially the high and mighty Cain.
As he sat there minding his own business, absentmindedly polishing his steel cane, he could feel Cain's intense stare on him. Rather than give the boy the satisfaction of acknowledging the glares he just continued to polish his cane, daydreaming about how good it would feel to smack Cain across his blond head.
Bran glanced up only briefly at the teacher's call of an announcement, but kept his ears open and listened more than usual. He had read about Mr. Dellacoure in several of the business magazines available in the school library, the man was rich and powerful, powerful even without magic, even more so with it. That they were expected to "teach him a lesson", 4 kids with odd abilities, and in his condition was more than ridiculous. He found it hard to hide his outrage at the teacher calling on Cain to lead this mission, it was practically suicide, but if they had to take orders from Mr. Stuckup himself it would be doomed to fail even more miserably than it already was.
For the time being though Bran held his tongue, not wishing to start an altercation in class, and especially in front of his twin sister. She was, after all, one of the few people around that treated him worth a damn.

Topic: Realms of Twilight -Winds and Sand
Subject: Echo spots someone coming
Being ever watchful Echario easily notices a group of what appears to be 3 ruffians approaching the warehouse. From his estimates they will be upon the group in no more than 3 minutes. He quickly reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out the signal whistle he always carries, giving one quick sharp whistle, praying silently to the God(dess) of Luck that only his companions take any real notice to the short signal. Should they notice he will motion down the street with discrete hand gestures in order to draw the rest of their attention to the small group approaching.

Subject: Echo's move
Slightly disappointed that his self-proclaimed brilliant plan would not be the course of action taken Echo exits the wagon and makes his way toward where the smaller door is that they are planning to attempt to enter through. In order to make his way to the door as discretely as possible he first crosses to the other side of the street away from the warehouse, just in case any guards are watching the streets for suspicious activity.

Subject: 80 points
After some thought I have decided to set point value at 80. This means that in order to keep your original characters from my first game you will need to re-stat, or just subtract a total of 5 points from your old stats in whatever areas you think most fitting.

Looks as if we're going with the pick the lock and hope the estimate of 2 guards is accurate strategy.
Still debating on whether or not Echo is planning to play along or continue with his own plan of charming whoever opens the door.
