General Discussion / Returning player - UK time zone
« on: June 27, 2020, 07:38:52 pm »
Hi all,

I thought I would hop back online here after many, many years away (and spending some time on a NWN2 server in between) - with the current pandemic going on I find myself with a lot more time at home these days!

This is a message mainly to say hi and also to ask if there is a particular time/ day where the server has a few people logged in? I am in the UK and so timings have always been difficult, but as I said, lots of time on my hands so I'm able to be logged on into the small hours of the morning if that will help.

If anyone remembers Karn/ Deon/ Elzhabehl you might find them hanging around again now  ;D (particularly Karn who was always my favourite!). I'm looking forward to getting back into this community that I've never been quite able to forget even after all these years - see you soon!

General Discussion / Wemics in Center/ Adventuring group!
« on: June 20, 2011, 04:46:07 pm »
Hi all. I recently returned to one of my alts, a Wemic - Feana Pantherguard and was wandering about a few things since it's been a long time since I RPed this unusual character:

Firstly, what is the likely reaction to a Wemic in Center? Obviously individual people would react differently so I'm looking more for a general "pitchforks at dusk" or "have some cake" type generic response, if anyone has any ideas? At the moment I tend to keep Feana to the outskirts of any major settlements but that can limit RP quite a bit.

On the second note, it seems to me that Wemics and other "monstrous" races might make likely travelling companions given their general removal from the traditional races and their settlements, so I also wanted to give a shout out to any players of the more odd looking races for groups which want to RP, run around and generally adventure. Please feel free to PM me, or send a tell in game if your monstrous humanoid would like a lion lady to wander around Layonara with!

Thanks all!

The Silver Buckle / A performance by Karn L'Yari
« on: May 08, 2011, 12:50:11 pm »
*Karn saunters through the doors of the Silver Buckle, and after exchanging a few words with the member of staff currently posted there, makes his way to the stage. He begins with a rolling prelude introducing his song.*

Thank ye' lads an' lasses. I ask of ye just a few moments of yer time. Lend me yer' ears, if ye' will.

Im goin' t'share with ye a tale of love an' loss an' sometimes, love again.

Now I know what yer' thinkin'..."that 'andsome devil 'aint old enough t'know 'bout such things" but, don't let my lack o'wrinkles put ye off.

So 'ere it is. The Elements of Love, an' it goes a little somethin'....like this...

*He starts with a gentle opening chord on a guitar, playing through the set in a soulful, acoustic style*

The Elements of Love ~ Karn L'Yari

Have you ever felt the flame of love burning? /
So much that even when it leaves you, all you feel is yearning? /
A spark, a flicker, a smoulder, then a blaze. Now you can only hope it stays.

The elements of love, bringing us together / Whether lad or lass – the dream lasts forever.

What about the waves, the cold snap of pain? /
Love, sometimes a cruel promise, with unrewarded gain. /
Survive or die? Survive or die? – Either way you just have to try.

The elements of love, bringing us together / Whether lad or lass – the dream lasts forever.

So you made it this far? You’re solid, and grounded? /
Your heart - taken, your life – shared, your soul - rounded. /
Perfect in a warm embrace. Solid, comforting, the familiar face.

The elements of love, bringing us together / Whether lad or lass – the dream lasts forever.

But what’s that? A wind of change twists and turns. /
The purest of minds can shift like the wind and the contented heart never learns. /
A glint, a smile, a spark – it’s back!

An ember cast out on the wind, rekindles a fire, abhorring the lack.

And so it continues ever onwards.

The elements of love, bringing us together / Whether lad or lass – the dream lasts forever.

*He tips his hat at the end of the final lines*

Thank ye', anyone that liked it - feel free t'buy a lad a wine eh?

*He chuckles as he leaves the stage*

*Karn wanders aimlessly from town to port to town again, hammering up scraps of parchment in inns and market squares alike.
The message reads...*

Forum Discussion / Introduction Forum = Great For Community Relations
« on: March 13, 2007, 01:01:20 pm »
Hi all

Just wanted to post in a more visable area about how personally I feel the Introduction forums are great for making us as players feel much more like a community. Speaking OOC to folks who you play with almost daily really adds to a feeling of community spirit, which is really what Layonara is all about.

So in short, really great forum, and it's probably my most visited one on the new site.

Thanks All
Dan

Introduce Yourself / The Man Behind the Karn (No Comments!)
« on: March 12, 2007, 10:11:51 am »
Hi all!

Well some of you (sometimes more people than I think) know Karn in game, and it seems even more of your characters have heard something about the crazy sailor/wooer of the lads.

But how many of you know about me, Dan? The player behind Karn, Elzhabehl and lately, Feana.

Well as I said, I'm Dan. Daniel Adam Kent to give my full title. I'm a student studying Psychology at the University of Gloucestershire in the UK. Currently I live between Cheltenham, Gloucester and Birmingham.

I travel a lot, usually between family and my boyfriend, Luke, when I'm not working on a research project/essay/or just playing on Layonara.

My main aim with my characters is usually to give a bit of colour, sometimes difference to what I see played. I try to veer away from stereotypes, but sometimes they are just to fun not to play up to!

My Characters

Karn - Well Karn is the idiotic/crazy/never down (at least not publicly) side of me. Ever the showman, just like I can be at times, he probably best represents me in RL though in a far more caracitured way, with everything magnified ten fold. Getting to play out a male-male romance here is something I have enjoyed tremendously, and has given no end of rp opportunities and I think added a little something not previously in Layonara. I originally planned him around a sailor type, Jack Sparrow-esque, lad who enjoyed a good time and the company of handsome lads, and I was also heavily influenced by the adventurous Zidane of FF9, though with less of an eye for the ladies and more for the gents! (Yes I do love Final Fantasy too! *ducks tomatoes*)

Elzhabhel Tyr'neldth - The eternal grouchy elven wizard. He was created after reading far too much OOTS and my adoration for Vaarsuvius! Though he is somewhat darker than his comical inspiration, favouring the school of necromancy and having lofty delusions/ambitions for power over life and death, mostly to feed his own ego. I enjoy playing an overly intelligent, proud and arrogant character in times when Karn's persistant grin annoys even me.

Deon Darklash - The sultry cleric of Xeen was created in reaction to an apparent lack of male Xeenites, at least among those Xeenites commonly known. I enjoy playing characters which strive to be, dare I say it, UNIQUE!
Having played Deon comparitavely little I have found his ways and suggestions to be disconcerting to most other characters, and as such Deon is a challenge. Then again he is never the type to have many friends in any case, so perhaps his mysterious, unnerving, yet intoxicating personality will keep only the most ardent of admirers from coming close enough to understand him. In fact I'm not so sure theres much to understand, other than his unusual obsession with pain.

Feana Pantherguard - My latest addition and therefore perhaps my judgement is clouded. Only time will tell whether she stays the course. She came about due to my love of druids and wemics, though the ECL always scared me away from the latter. Deciding to enjoy all the RP rather than consider her levels I jumped in and made her. She has really suprised me, and the amount of fun I have as her. The raw-ness of a primitive character gives a much stronger basis for her druidic path, something I had struggled to create with my previous druids. Her overall goodly attitude and friendly nature help her to get by in a land where she does not speak the native tongue, at least well. Feana also represents my own faith and beliefs somewhat. I would consider myself to be a spiritual person and her deep conection with nature is one I enjoy playing out.

Aside from that, theres not much more to say. I have varied music tastes, everything from Madonna to Marilyn Manson and a lot more between. Oh I'm 19, going on 35 sometimes. And when I grow up *Grins* I want to be a counciler/proffesional talker!

I will put a picture up as soon as I find one I dont look awful or very posed on!

If you would like to know more (oh go on!) heres my MySpace: (Please bare in mind this is an outside site and may not be for everyone)

^^^ And yes this is very posey but ah well! ^^^

Cheers
Dan
