There was a cool breeze that started to take over the surrounding area, a tall figure was heading into the city; one thing on her mind at the time. How could one be this unlucky to find herself traveling in such cloudy weather? The smell of potential rain was filling the air, threatening to drench anything that did not have shelter from the moisture it brought. It wasn't as if she hated rain, but no one enjoyed finding themselves stuck in it, that was something she could be certain about; unless someone did enjoy it, but they were more than likely mad. A soft sigh escaped her lips now, her body stopping just as she entered into the city. This was to be a rather hard task to find what she was looking for, though she hadn't really seen him all day. She spent quite a bit of time searching pubs in neighboring places before finding herself in this certain city. It was a human established and lived area, though good for her she was human in appearance anyway. Unlike a certain someone, she looked more human than he did; his colors stood out way too much to blend in. That, and he was god awful tall as well. There was no way she'd ever find herself loosing that numskull in a crowd of people.

How many pubs where in this city anyway? Probably more than she'd like to try counting. If she knew him as well as she though, a pub is the exact place he'd be. He enjoyed drinking and it was a good way to flirt with the locals. Unless you were a child or elderly, no one was safe from his rather loose actions. Though it was not something she harshly judged the man for, everyone had their vices in life, his was just enjoying sleeping around. Species didn't matter, as long as they were at least humanoid in shape. The search continued now, checking almost every pub she seemed to back by; eyes looking for the tallest, most interesting looking man in each. No luck so far, so she moved along. 

Pub after pub, she searched and searched. How man damn pubs where in the city? These people must love the drink to their heart's content, or until they died of alcohol poisoning. After she was almost about to give up, she looked into one more pub; a particular voice caught her attention. As she looked around she spotted the big idiot, drinking and more than likely sauced as all hell; surrounded by people, men and women alike as he talk and talked. One thing was certain, he was always in the best of moods when drunk off  his ass. Celestine moved her way around and through people who stood around, talking and drinking with their friends; until she finally made her way over to Zo. A stern look was plastered onto her face, a frown as she was just grumpy from having to look so hard for him.

"Do you know how hard it was to find you?" she looked down at the tall man, hand set upon her waist, "you couldn't have made it easier on me? I swear to god if I didn't know you I wouldn't have been able to find you at all. Good thing you're loud when you're drunk though. That doesn't really change the fact how many pubs I had to look in though!"

<h3><div class="h3-underline">News and Updates</div></h3>
It’s been a month without update, but the wait was hopefully worth it. We have a bunch of news, so bear with us as we go through it. One of the biggest things is….

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Happy Birthday Antarsia!</div></h3>
A new year, and Antarsia has survived our first year! We couldn’t have done it without all of you guys, so thank you from the staff to you!! Staff has been working hard to bring new material to you guys and we really could not express how much it has meant to go on this journey with you all. For our 1st birthday, we have a few new things to celebrate our birthday! One of which is our god, Tharamos, has gotten into the birthday spirit. His skin has been updated to celebrate our birthday month. Go check it out!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">New Badges!</div></h3>
Staff cannot express how much they appreciate everyone, so a new awards system has been installed to show just that! These awards are badges in the shape of triangular gems that each represent a different achievement! This can range from contributing to the site to participating in an event, being active in our Discord, etc. To kick things off, it is Antarsia’s 1st birthday so everyone will be receiving an award for being with us as we celebrate! If you have not received this award, let Achera know! It will be available to all who have logged in during January.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">New Species, Curses, and Creatures!!</div></h3>
Please welcome the Nymphs, Seedlings, Sol’teras, Gargoyles, and Or’rix to our species page! The Nymphs were worked on by our very own @Immortal Cyan & @King Fury while the rest were done by @Kila! We also have Mimics that have been added to our curses page done by @Andromeda!

Bellonese have also gotten their artwork updated! You can thank our wonderful @Kila for that!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Plot Update!</div></h3>
Oh no! A third oracle has died! Aerithe, oracle of Zarkos, died publically in Prerio City square of what many believe to be suffocation.  Find out what happened in When Air Suffocates.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Timeskip!</div></h3>
The site time has moved forward to the 25th of Haliea. Please update your threads accordingly to reflect the new time.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Revamped Character Information!</div></h3>
To better help with navigation and Discord integration in the future, this section of the forum has been reorganized a bit. The Chat with Staff section has replaced the Questions section of the forum. While you can still ask questions on the forum, you can now do so in the Chat with Staff section! This section now includes Moving/Closing Threads, the Item Usage Tracker, and the new Add Characters to Guide thread! Anything that requires staff action will be placed in here.

The Looking for Threads and Thread Trackers section has now been changed to Looking for Threads and Plotting. Thread Trackers have moved to the revamped Character Journals and Thread Trackers section.

We also have introduced Wanted Ads! If you are looking to fill part of a character’s family, a new lover, etc. this is where you can post your request. This can be found in the revamped Character Adoptions and Wanted Ads.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Add Characters to Guide!</div></h3>
I mentioned this in the previous section, but this new thread is to help staff add your characters to the Character Directory! After characters have been accepted, the role-player is expected to post a small forum to this thread so staff can add them to the directory. You can check out the new section here.

Why fill a form? The coding we use can be complicated to keep adding characters to when we do 20+ at a time sometimes. So to make things easier, this little form breaks the information up so we can assembly-line the info into our code!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Guidebook Revamp!</div></h3>
The guidebook has reverted back to Tharamos’s Reign once more. It also has had the navigation rearranged so it makes more sense and easier to navigate. There have been a few new inclusions to various sections of the guidebook, so go take a peek!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Newbie Guide!</div></h3>
After what feels like forever, we finally have a newbie guide! This will help new members or potential members get an idea for how to navigate around the site. If you have any suggestions, feel free to ask a staff member found in the blue color!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Content Updates!</div></h3>
The Legends page has been updated to include 4 new legends, courtesy of @Kila. The Items page is also being revamped to include more thorough descriptions of some missing items we had in the shop.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Credits Page Added!</div></h3>
How have we gone this long without one?? Well fear no more! Check out our new credits page! We have all the credits for everything anyone has done to contribute to the site ranging from artwork to code, species, creatures, and more. It is broken down based on who is the original writer and who did edits if it was writing. If writing or artwork was done for our species and creatures, credits now appear under the basic information. Thank you everyone who has contributed. We couldn’t have done it without you!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Discord Integration!</div></h3>
We’re a big community on using our Discord, but we also have areas on the forum to use! So to support this, we have found ways to integrate our forum into Discord a bit better. These changes will be happening over the next month, but look out!

One of the biggest things is when someone posts in a specific area such as Looking for Threads, a message will show up in the Discord in the corresponding channel. This is to encourage you guys to post more to those areas on the board! Remember, you get gold (the site’s currency) to use for shop items when you post on the site!

We have also switched our cbox replacement from TitansEmbeds to widgetbot.io. It should provide a better experience to chat from the forum, so I encourage you all to use it! You can sign in with your discord there too, so it’ll be posted from your account with your name and avatar, just with BOT next to it! Widgetbot will allow for more fun features, so watch out for those as well slowly add them!

Mee6-kun is back! After Mee-kun worked so hard to give us levels along with Tatsu-kun, staff realized we didn’t need 2 leveling systems, so Mee-kun has been quietly waiting for a job. Well, staff is glad to bring back Mee-kun with Antarsia Fun Facts! These will be facts posted 1-2 times a day that reflect small facts about… well just about anything Antarsia related! This can range from info on the species to the gods, stuff staff did when contributing, to really anything! Enjoy and let Mee-kun know how much we’ve missed them!!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Referral Program!</div></h3>
Staff is excited to announce our new Referral Program! There are fun rewards to claim the more members who are referred by you! This can be redeemable for any member who has joined started January 1st, 2018 and will be available permanently. More information can be found in the Referral Program thread.


<h3><div class="h3-underline">Map Update!</div></h3>
The maps of Antarsia have been updated to include all recognized locations in Antarsia. This include landmarks, shrines, cities, villages, and more! Every location that has a written description is now on the map, so go check it out!

We hope that you all enjoy the new features and thank you once more for celebrating this birthday with us!! 

On a more serious note, this is a reminder to please read our rules once more. Staff has been informed of users joining that do not follow the rules or are below the age requirement. These rules are in place for a reason. Should anyone be found in violation of these rules, both the party involved and the party who has brought them to the site will be handled accordingly.

<b>Thread Status:</b> open
<b>Players involved:</b> Sparx, Kila, Haji
<b>Characters involved:</b> Abraham, Zacrae, Alistair
<b>Setting:</b> City near the Fortress of Plenty
<b>Time:</b> Current, midday
<b>Weather:</b> Fairly pleasant, mildly cloudy with the threat of light rain in the evening

Character's Name: Nathaniel Abbey
 
Nicknames: (Feel free to make some up)
 
Age: 1545
 
Gender: Not Applicable (he/him)
 
Species: Spirit Elemental
 
Abilities: Nothing too out of the ordinary. Magical Absorption. He can absorb all kinds of magic, but he prefers spirit based magically qualities. Often seeks souls of other species as his source of spirit based energy.
 
Appearance:
 
Natural Form:

 
 
Other Form:
 
 
When Nathaniel takes a more palatable humanoid form, he looks unassuming and benign. He has a warm smile, with pointed teeth and a light blue tongue. He has light brown skin with orange undertones, and long light blue nails. The palms of his hands and the bottom of his feet are a dark orange. His toenails are black.
 
His hair is short and wild looking. Two-tone light and darker oranges. It is the most unkempt thing about him, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to get it to behave. Sometimes, if one is staring for too long, they will notice that his hair seems to move with an odd energy that unsettles the very essence of one’s being.
 
His eyes are a pale blue, and glow intensely, giving away his elemental status.
 
Nathaniel is an incredibly rich being. He has access to more wealth that all others in Seliel City, and he dresses extravagantly. The finest silks and the softest cottons. He frequently adorns himself in exceedingly rare accessories that have a variety of magical properties to protect him from harm.
 
Though infrequent, he does sometimes wear clothing that shows off the odd markings left over from his natural elemental form. He is also unable to hide the spiritual tail from his natural form, so he hides it in sashes of similar color and texture.
 
 
 
Personality:
 
Nathaniel is an asshole. Wicked and sharp, he rules over the company he developed with an iron fist and will punish and make examples of anybody who dares to speak against him. He has no qualms about showing his wickedness because there is not a single person who will stand up against him in any of the societal rings in the city.
 
He relishes in the control he has over others and things of increasingly horrible ways to keep others down. He has deliberately salted fields, sunk cargo, and razed the homes of the innocent in his displays and he feels absolutely no remorse for any of his actions. Money and wealth is equal to power and he doesn’t care about anyone who doesn’t stand with him.
 
And even then, he doesn’t care about his peers. He only cares about wealth and power. And perhaps his husband, Markus Justinius, but that feels shaky at best. Sometimes people think it’s a competition between the two of them to see who is more wicked and the stakes keep rising.
 
Nathaniel takes what he wants, throws money at anybody who complains and has those who don’t accept intimidation and gold conveniently disappear.
 
However, he is a damn good liar and uses his wealth to manipulate others, even his own family.
 

History:
 
Nathaniel was created out in the wilds far from any kind of civilization. He managed to survive the grueling first few days of his life and took to surviving through sucking the spiritual energy from living creatures around him, fueling his power and strength. The longer he was alive, the more souls he absorbed.
 
Generation after generation, he grew stronger until he was able to take another form, where he lived in huge cities and sucked magic out of every aspect of the areas around him. He was particularly fond of mages, using them as vessels for a more consistent flow of magic. He’d spent time in Yfrelo at the Mage’s College for a few years, eating the edges of the wards around the city despite the consequences of doing so.
 
After a while, he left and roamed Sleibte until he moved onto Xira, where he started a business shipping small loads of cargo along the rivers. The cargo loads got bigger and bigger and he branched into other areas of business: real estate, agriculture, and wealth management. He bought lots of land in Seliel City as it popped up and turned over the properties into homes for people to live in. Every time there was something available, he scooped it up until he was literally paying people to leave their homes and relocate so he could control larger and larger areas of the multiple districts in the city.
 
He met his husband around this time. The story of how they met is constantly changing, but he was seduced by a beautiful bird that made him laugh and was excellent to bounce ideas off of. He gave Markus anything he wanted, and Markus kept him on his toes and sharp as a tack.
 
Nobody was able to stop Nathaniel from his acquisitions because he operated under a lot of different names and personas – often with Markus’s help, the damn bird. Sometimes the original owners of the land would mysteriously disappear, but a fat bag of gold usually kept the suspicious ones quiet. And if not, hmm, how odd. Never heard of Seth Allens. Must be talking about someone else.
 
Turns out, Seliel City needs a new leader. Nathaniel happens to know a guy perfect for the job.
