Favorite Achaean possession

Talysin

I am! Out of pure curiosity... why?

Sobriquet

Just a personal thing really. I think so many people have tried hard to take the "idiot" factor away from being a Jester in Achaea, that the blackjack you have there just made me wince a little.

I'm all for "different" though, and that certainly goes against the norm of customisations being "Awesome Gold Encrusted Blackjack of wonder"

Talysin

I don't do class roleplaying with Talysin and I certainly don't do "idiot" role-play. Talysin could be any class and I'd have his class specific artifacts customized to be glammed and glittered.

Talysin is a punk drag queen with an attitude. He could be literally any class and I would be roleplaying the same way, with the same fabulous amount of glitter. It's not meant to be idiotic, it's meant to be tawdry - exactly the way I RP Taly.

Kayeil

Outside of my Order given items from Lady Selene (a pendant and a selily) and Lady Pandora (an earring), I'd have to say this special doll that Lady @Pandora‌ gave me is my favorite. I have lots of interesting and old items, and minipets and mounts, but this doll is just extra special and I could never even begin to describe how awesome Lady has been and how much She's been there for me.

short description:
 a tiny Pandora doll

dropped:

A little stuffed doll has been dropped on the ground and forgotten.

examined:

This tiny replica of the Goddess of Mischief has obviously been crafted by skilled hands. The mischievous sparkle in Her eyes has been captured with nearly perfect accuracy, and all the details of the youthful Goddess' form and outfit have been recreated with great attention, right down to Her silvery hand.

It weighs about 3 pounds and 0 ounce(s).

reactions:

You poke a tiny Pandora doll in the belly.

      Wiggling your finger around the Pandora doll's ticklish belly, it gives a little squirm and a high pitched giggle.

You poke a tiny Pandora doll in the belly.

      With merciless enthusiasm, you tickle a helpless little Pandora doll, and make it wriggle and squirm with rambunctious laughter.

      Wiggling your finger around the Pandora doll's ticklish belly, it gives a little squirm and a high pitched giggle.

      Attempting once more to assault the sweet little doll, you find its tiny teeth latched on to your fingertip and an impish gleam shining in its eyes.

Datrius

I'm torn on what my favorite is. So I'm going to share both.

Rp wise it would be this mask. One of the @Vastar denizens did a ritual to bless and create this mask for Datrius. Was really an awesome bit of fun and it's one I use often as an rp device.

Short : an gleaming obsidian mask. 
Dropped : Images of a storm-grey sky play out on the face of this abandoned obsidian mask.
Extended: Dark obsidian contours to the face of any wearer of this mask, hiding their features from view. Polished to a glossy sheen, the glassy material reflects whatever light happens to play across it. A soft, inner lining of storm-grey silk graces the face, protecting from any potential cuts or scrapes. Trace amounts of electrum line the eyes, nose, and mouth, barely noticeable beneath the seamless obsidian.
First Person : The electrum crackles as you slip an gleaming obsidian mask over your face, and your skin crawls with static electricity.
Third Person : As Datrius slips an gleaming obsidian mask over his face, the electrum crackles with electricity before settling into a soft luminescence."

Combat related wise but very much Rp significant would have to be Datrius' Lupine Bow. I'd been trying to get it customized and parts of it kept getting rejected, so @Gaia ended up stepping in and rewriting it in such a way that not only did I love, but also kept many of the elements in it I had wanted included.

Short : a sleek, fulminous recurve bow
Dropped : An ebony recurve bow lies here, giving off a faint crackle of electricity.
Extended : Masterfully crafted, the sleek lines of a recurve bow demonstrate expert bowyery and exceptional carpentry, affording evidence of the owner's eye for detail and lethal precision. The upper and lower limbs sweep in a graceful curve as a single piece of ebony, its rich, natural hue and grain enhanced by a deep crimson stain which cleverly disguises bloody fingerprints from the hunter's close encounters. Carved into the nocks and inlaid along the limbs, tiny pieces of pyrope shimmer with a carmine lustre, the mineral riddled with veins of stygian black. The polished inlays swirl toward the riser as though the tongues of a dozen, slithering serpents, curling around intricate symbols of the Storm, each curious glyphs crackling with bolts of white-hot lightning. Blackened through fire, dwarven steel wraps about the bow in a smooth handle, precisely forged for the wielder's grasp and balance. The dark scales of a black cobra wrap over the metal and wood to create a secure grip, and tautly woven cobra sinew stretches betwixt the bow's tips as a string.

Melodie

Won't lie, Gaia is design master. She's done one or two of my things and I adore them so very much.

Datrius

I love that bow. Absolutely love it. I've nicknamed it Singing Death, and am oocly a Gaia fanboy. It is my hidden shame.

Daslin

Huh... One of my designs is in here. Neat.

As for Daslin's most treasured thingies?

an electrum medallion engraved with a silver wing

This medallion bears the hallmarks of the finest electrum, and is crafted in the city of Arcadia. 

Forged into the shape of an oval, the front face of the medal bears a wing made from silver, its 

details so fine that each individual feather has unique marking etched into the metal. A blue cord 

loops itself through the top of the medallion, made from pressed fish scales and studded with 

sapphires along its length.

It weighs about 2 pounds and 4 ounce(s).

Aaand... his pendant, which I won't be showing, because tl;dr.

oh, and.

A set of dark, dwarven steel fullplate.

Forged from heavy dwarven steel, this set of fullplate armour is of the highest possible quality, 

blackened through oil tempering. Each piece has been painstakingly hammered to fit the man wearing 

it, every plate interlocking with the next, so only small glimpses of gleaming chainmail show 

through. The chestplate has been beautifully acid-etched to depict a fierce battle of a bear and a 

warrior. Resting across the pauldrons, silvered and white ice-bear pelts have been sewn into a 

strong, warm mantle, held tight to the armour by way of two gilded leather straps crossing the body 

and buckling in the front. Thick pads of dark leather are strapped about the elbows, ending just 

inches from the sable gauntlets. Brief glimpses of teal can be seen between the shifting plates of 

blackened steel, betraying the gambeson that hides beneath. Trimmed in runes of pale silver thread, 

the cloth falls down to the calves, while the front remains open to expose the chainmail wrapping 

the wearer's legs.

It weighs about 180 pounds.

It bears the distinctive mark of Daslin.

The accompanying helm.

A blackened steel helm.

Made from heavy blackened steel, this helm carries the scars of countless battles past. The marks of 

deflected swords and arrows cross back and forth over its surface, but the piece as a whole is very 

much intact. A sweeping crest adorns the dome, denoting a high-ranking warrior, both sides of it 

heavily etched with runes. Prominently etched above the narrow opening of the visor, a fearsome bear 

and knight engage in deadly combat.

It weighs about 1 pounds and 14 ounce(s).

It bears the distinctive mark of Daslin.


talk about tl;dr.

Trey said:

Hands down it's the ingot from a several RL month-long story where Trey learned how to forge artefact weapons from Phaestus. It's the last of the meteoric ore that I used to make my rapiers. Will probably work it into my fullplate description once I get one I feel like blowing my free customisation on.

- a steel ingot

- A rough bar of steel about two feet in length, five inches thick, and three 

inches deep, the exterior of this solid length of metal is covered with dents 

where it has suffered the repeated ministrations of a forge hammer. No 

impurities are visible on the surface of the steel, except for a faint blue 

tinge that mars its otherwise flawless metallic lustre.

It weighs about 5 pounds.

so that's why every Naga in Mhaldor has a Lupines right out of the intro?

Draqoom

As for my favorite possession:

pinXXX           a silver lotus blossom pin

Crafted from fine, brilliant silver, this small pin is cast in the shape of a lotus blossom mid-
bloom, its petals opened slightly as if just opening to meet a new day. The petals themselves are
layered with translucent obsidian, leaving an outline of thin silver trimming the edges. The whole
impression is of morning dew flowing over the dark flower's delicate folds. At the heart of the
blossom is a tiny, deep purple gem that despite its size flickers boldly with captured light in even
the dimmest of places.
It weighs 2 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Kai-Shen (a denizen).


A memory of a time long behind me and something I am proud to have earned. There are probably hundreds floating around out there, but this one is mine and the first and only one I ever got. It's left my body one time since I earned it. I don't know the dropped desc, and I never will because I'm never taking it off


This one of course comes in a close second:


pendulumXXX      a stained glass pendulum

Slender fronds of platinum splay gently around the tip of a spherical glass pendulum, carefully
anchoring the delicate object within their steady grasp. Attached to a flowing chain of matching
platinum, the sphere oscillates slowly, swinging with rhythmic grace. Weighting the links down are
the tiny figures of a eudialyte phoenix and an ivory dragon. The glass itself is warm to the touch
and graced with an opalescent sheen, which refracts light through the globe, staining it with a
plethora of muted colours.
It weighs 10 ounce(s).
It will reset to you.

Order Item. Same as before, not going to know what the dropped looks like  because I won't remove them.

Jukilian

@Datrius‌ That mask looks awesome, but I just can't get past the "an" gleaming obsidian mask.

Zii

 a hooked length of chain

Exquisitely wrought links are interconnected to form this long chain. Tiny barbs protrude from the 

meticulously polished rings, gleaming in their eagerness to taste flesh and blood. Upon either end 

of the shackle resides a sinister hook, the curved, razor-sharp edge bearing deep crimson stains, 

the only blemish upon the otherwise cool, polished steel.

It weighs 8 ounce(s).

It bears the distinctive mark of Zii.

It will reset to you.

You are now wearing a hooked length of chain.

The chain nestles itself tightly against your skin, slithering around your forearm. Droplets of 

blood splatter onto the floor as the barbs on its links bite sharply into your bare flesh. Finally, 

the shackle stops its movement, the hooks on either end poised to pierce flesh at any moment.

You remove a hooked length of chain.

A hooked length of chain tears at your skin as the shackle unravels, before finally falling slack in 

your arms, slick with blood.

The readied end of a hooked length of chain rends into your skin, flaying off a strip of flesh that 

it holds taut, revealing the glistening muscles normally hidden beneath.

You remove a length of chain pulling back flayed flesh.

As you try to carefully remove the chain bound around your arm, the hook peeling away your flesh 

roughly yanks back, ripping off the flayed skin before allowing itself to unwind. Crimson film 

clings to each link in accompaniment to the flesh clutched tight by the device.

RIP Apollyon

Valentinus

I don't really have much yet that has any sentimental value to me, but there was something I'd been wanting for a while in game and @Ziva found one and bought it for me for Val's birthday a couple weeks back.

Inventory:  a counting frame
Dropped:  A frame of black wood rests on the ground, holding several lines of red beads.
Examined:  Lacquered black wood forms a small, square frame, with a miniature scroll rolled 

along one side. Nine parallel steel wires stretch across the square's centre, 

each wire bearing nine red-painted beads that are easily pushed along the metal 

holding them in place. The current alignment of pieces represents the number 0.

So yeah, it's an abacus (although I dunno why it wasn't named that way).

When I'm old and have nothing better to spend credits on, I'll get one customized because they're so useful in an RP sense.  I always found it weird when someone was like, "okay I want x amount of potash, y amount of vitality and z amount of everything else" and then I'm like "okay".

Awkward pause.

"That'll be x amount of gold, please."

Rispok

My kris.

This blade has been attuned to the Divine essence of Lupus, Wild God of the Beasts.

This headband I wear all the time and Ruth pretends she doesn't see.

headband415914      a headband with fluffy white and pink bunny ears marred with char marks

Plush white rabbit fur sheathes this headband, creating a soft yet snug fit around the wearer's head.

 Two perky bunny ears, also wrapped in fur, have been sewn to the centre of the headband. Fluffy, 

snowy fur surrounds a cute core of pink satin, creating a cute contrast between the implied inner 

ear and outter. A wire frame base allows the ears to be manipulated and adjusted, allowing the tips 

of the ears to be rakishly bent forward. Discreetly embellished on the underside of the headband is 

a rainbow-coloured music note.

It has 39 months of usefulness left.

It weighs 3 ounce(s).

It bears the distinctive mark of Lala.

MY EYES ON YOU, AYO

Jhaeli

I had a lovely glowing lily that I got from Pentharian and @Silas when I was Imperiate, but it was deemed a historical artefact and I passed it to @Verrucht when I left. So Verrucht would have to post up the description if he wanted to.

Right now, my staff would be the only item that qualifies, I think. (I posted it previously, but I'll put it up again here.)

A long, ceremonial blade of watered steel surmounts a length of ebony wood strengthened by efreeti's fire, combining elegance and ferocity into a flawless elementalist's staff. Tempered for strength and precision as a magical focus, the curved blade glows with a nearly imperceptible luminescence that emphasises the intricate ripples of the watered steel. Embedded vertically along the back of the blade are four priceless gems: a sapphire, a ruby, an emerald, and a diamond. The staff is almost six feet tall and warm to the touch. Oiled and worn by a sure grip, the ebony shaft ends in a marble shod surrounded by a band of gold engraved with stylistic runes. Masterfully wrought, this staff is an elegant companion for the practical elementalist.

Valdus

Two things, really. The obvious one!

While this hammer would be fairly useless as a weapon, it clearly is designed well for forging. The
heft and balance of it are just right for pounding the defects out of a suit of full plate armour,
or shaping the razor-edge of a Delosian bastard sword.
It weighs about 2 pounds and 0 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Valdus.
It will reset to you.

Lulz. But seriously, I'd probably say this. Haven't had a chance to roleplay out why Valdus wears it (I've gone so far to set up a script that changes his description when he wears/removes it) since nobody has really asked yet, but there's plenty of time for that later.

- a faceless steel mask

The craftsmanship in this polished steel mask is plain to see upon closer inspection. The steel has
been carefully buffed to a mirror shine. The interior of the mask has been lined with silk, dyed the
same colour as the steel, allowing the mask to be worn comfortably. A faint rise in the material
denotes the location of the wearer's nose and two small eye slits allow them to see, albeit with
reduced peripheral vision.

Trilliana

I forgot something... This was my fullplate when I was Knighted. @Phaestus stole it for like a week before the actual ceremony and gave it back. I did the design and such, but the fact that I got to role play it a bit and had to be without my good fullplate for over a RL week made it all the more better.

 a lady knight's suit of full plate armour


Forged from the finest steel, this suit of full plate armour has been tempered to a brilliant silver that shines blue in the available light. The exquisite forging and cut of the many layers of lightweight, flexible steel perfectly frames the slender physique of a lady knight. Engraved grooves mark the left forearm of the armour in the shape of the gebu and gebo runes, a permanent reminder of their typical sketching place, while a full array of runes gleams artfully beside. At the left pauldron, a stylised rose in bright crimson breaks the monotony of the steel, while at the right pauldron is the outline of a spider, busy at work spinning its web. Carefully knitted padding lines the interior of the suit of armour, allowing it to weigh more comfortably upon the body.
Engraved on it are the words:

Valnurary 15th, 611

It weighs about 180 pounds.
It bears the distinctive mark of Trilliana.

Dude. I remember that thing. I remember when you had me wear it ha. And then had me use it to string @Kuy up to torture him. That thing is sick.

I will write my fav items soon when I am on my laptop. I have like 6. Why do I need to choose?

Ruth

Gift from @Xenomorph to recognise Ruth for her service to Mhaldor. Designed by @Aepas and touched up by @Jurixe. It is non-decay.

Appearance
a tricorne captain's hat

Dropped
A tricorne pirate captain's hat sits stately upon the ground.

Examined
Dyed to a rich ebon, the resilient, cool animal felt of this tricorne hat combines utility and aesthetics to complete a dread pirate captain's ensemble. Its three upturned brims combine to direct rain water away from the head, pinned up on either side of the head to produce a triangular shape. The ebony hues emphasise the intense red of the cockade attached to its right side. A distinct hatpin of blackened metal shaped into a clenched fist sits securely within a scarlet and gules rosette that attaches to the cockade. Gold metallic rope shines on the edge of the brim, and a large white plume affixed to the left side lends a touch of flair to this sombre headpiece.

Orzaansyn

My precious doll, whom I called Polly. I had her in special circumstances and I love her.

Appearance
A soiled rag doll

Examined
This small doll has been haphazardly sewn with large, sloppy stitches. The basic silhouette resembles most toy dolls, but the details mark it as different. Tufts of hay protrude where the eyes have been gouged. One leg is twisted and mangled, and the opposit foot is badly burned. Few wisps of rat hair attach the head with some unidentifiable, gooey substance.

Rinzai

I have two, so here they are!

dropped : A large, weathered bronze bell and hammer hang securely inside the pagoda.

appearance:  a large, weathered bronze bell

examined: Constructed from reclaimed driftwood, a small pagoda with a roof of black tiles protects the large bell from some of the 

elements. The vast body of this seven-foot bell has no flaring at the waist or lip and is totally cylindrical aside from the 

top, which forms a rounded crown and has been tied securely to a thick crossbeam. The bell's aged patina highlights the 

intricate relief that covers the majority of the bell, with elegantly detailed scroll work and etchings. A modified ballista 

dart of sturdy oak also hangs from the awning of the pagoda, its newly rounded end placed carefully to line up with a thick 

striking plate on the side of the bell. Acting as the bell's hammer, the dart is attached to the pagoda with two small ropes 

piercing the shaft fore and aft, allowing it to be swung into the bell.

effect: ring bell

msg1: Reaching up, you pull back on the hammer of a large, weathered bronze bell before releasing it, letting it swing forward with 

a sonorous crash.

msg2: A low, reverberating tone resonates throughout the valley, its pure, sepulchral tones echoing among the hills in the distance.

If you are in the room, you will see msg1 and msg2.  If you are not in the room but still in Actar, you will see msg2 when the bell is rang.


and of course, Obaku.

dropped: Obaku, an arctic fox stands here with narrowed eyes, scanning the area.

appearance: Obaku, an arctic fox

examined: Covered with thick snow-white fur from head to tail, this fox is never affected by the cold. The tufts covering the ears and muzzle are much shorter than his temperate brethren and helps retain heat. His black eyes are constantly scanning the area, 

looking for both predators and prey, and are narrowed to keep things in focus against the bright white snow. Tiny hairs on 

the pads of his feet give additional traction on snow and ice as well as help keep his feet warmer. His bushy tail gives him 

excellent balance and additional warmth when wrapped to cover his nose while sleeping.

He's just the best, with some extremely handy tricks (like allies can call him and if they give him stuff he tells me what it was and who gave it to him.)

I have a ton of custom things, almost every artefact I have is custom, but those two are my favorite.

Jurixe

Oddly enough, my favourite Achaean possession is not my pet. I love it, but it's not my favourite (sorry Zilar!)

Personally for me, my favourite thing would be my house, but there are too many rooms to show. Jurixe's favourite thing, on the other hand, is split between this:

Barely an inch long in length, this slender bar of silver forms the main shaft of the arrow. 

Miniature fletching detail decorates one end of the shaft, while the other end is meant to be slid 

through the piercing and capped with a triangular, arrowhead-shaped clasp. The simplicity of the design does not detract from the quality of the workmanship, the earring gleaming brightly even in the faintest of light.

and this:

Crafted of fine silver and steel, a thin, argent snake curls over on itself, forming a single loop 

around the wrist. Its fluidly flowing form shimmers slightly, almost giving the impression that the silver is still molten. Upon closer inspection, a fine, winding pattern of scales has been worked into the metal, resembling a delicate filigree over the snake's length. The head and tail of the snake meet at the top of the wrist, where they have curled over one another, difficult to 

distinguish save for the small specks of obsidian set into the metal of the snake's eyes.

More for what they represent than the actual crafting, though one of the above was not done by me.

Kerria

@Kardal‌
He's my favorite, tall, looks like a giant troll shaped steel bar, bald.

other than him, would be my goat kid. He's the genetic one that you get with mini pets. But Kerria "trained" him and he responds (sometimes) to her moves or commands. It's a rare time to see Kerria without her kid.

Talysin

@Blujixapug mind posting the descrip for Glimmerfang?

Blujixapug

the gleaming dirk Glimmerfang

Faintly reflecting available light, a burnished bone-bladed dirk lies here.

Wrenched from the skull of the Wyrm Lord, a tapering, six inch long fang has been polished to a faint lustre and set in a steel handle to form this impressive weapon. Separated from the bone blade by a narrow steel crosspiece, the obsidian-inlaid grip bears the silver embellishment of a sinuous wyrm coiling down the length of the handle. Lightweight and well-balanced, this formidably sharp dirk is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship.

The name was a little awkward because I assumed I would have to include the noun 'dirk', and couldn't just call it 'Glimmerfang'. I traded it in a while ago.

Arditi

I have too many customized things and I could flood the thread with my own designs, so I'll try to limit that.

First on my list is probably my bazaar mount. I'm reasonably sure it was a one off.

"Hewn roughly, as though an avalanche were gathered up and granted life for its sheer, strange beauty,
 this magnificent beast is captivating and grotesque. Massive, taloned feet support a vaguely feline
body that sweeps into broad wings patterned with stress fractures and streaked with veins of
luminous quartz. The tail, scaled and barbed but ground smooth as river stones, moves ponderously,
producing a soft, rasping scrape. Darker pools of obsidian in the contorted face reveal the mere
suggestion of eyes beneath heavy brows, and a predatory, avian beak of a nose juts out sharply
between them, curving over unsettlingly human lips. He is called 'Ambition.'"

Beyond that, the diadem that I made after switching from being Naga. I made it out of the old bow I had, which I seem to have lost the description for. Alas.

"Twisted from splintered lengths of oleander secured to a length of sinew, this diadem barely rests
atop the head of its wearer. The broken edges reveal the fleshy pulp inside each length, the toxic
sap still glistening inside. Small strips of snakeskin have been trimmed to add a comfortable lining,
 while the front of the diadem has been adorned with a dried length of skin bearing a blistered
brand of an escarbuncle encircled by a border."

Taraus

Very hard to think of this as one of Tart's "things", or possessions, but rather, something that belongs to someone else, that was entrusted to her to keep safe.

Laertes, the Libram

Laertes floats about in a desultory path, his turns punctuated by slow flexes of his heavily foxed covers.

Hovering, circling in spurts, Laertes is ever in motion. Not directly, not quickly, but always moving, even when hovering near his master's hand. The cover is worn and marked with foxing along what ought to be the bottom - though it is unclear if Laertes actually ever sat on a shelf.


(Yes, he's a pet. Sort of. After a fashion, I guess?)

Klendathu

The customisation of mine that I'm most proud of (about 10 years old!)

short:
an ice-spider amulet

dropped:
An amulet with a pendant of ice carved into the shape of a small spider glistens here in a pool of crystal-clear water.

Long:
Dangling from a supremely fine chain of mithril, a small chunk of dark blue ice has been carved into the likeness of a nahar spider, the detail almost impossibly intricate. Small droplets of water periodically coalesce on the pendent before refreezing, giving the impression that the spider is alive and moving. Light refracts off the multifaceted surfaces of the eight minute sapphires of purest blue, set into the ice as if the eyes of the spider.
