Also we should give the tier ups for those, who deserve it.

Just to update everyone this is Luke's response to my PM about Graven.

I can, but he hasn't been on skype for a long while, but he's either too busy with school or he's changed sites and gone over to naruto legacy since I remember he spends a lot of time there, but cus I'm banned from the site, I can't message him there so I suggest you try to message him there while I try to see if I can hook him on skype, but I can't promise anything

I have requested more sites he is on since Naruto Legacy is no longer exists, I would like to add though it seems dark with this despite I am pursuing other leads on how to get in contact with him.

Okay, if he doesn't get back, we will put Graven to sleep.

Okay, just an update. Luke and I cannot reach him. Sorry. Weve checked all the other forums he is on and isnt there.

I will work on the POV for him today or tomorrow. Is his 72 hours already up?

Yes, Graven has had three days (72 hours) to post and he hasn't you can write the POV and put him to sleep.

I will do that on my next turn, as it should work out just well that way, right?

I changed the pace to 48 hours per player. It's now Saelien's turn, but I think we should hold out for Seach to avoid making the end look like a total mess - you should post him on the next turn, after Graven has already been put into a coma?

Can do. Will have my post up today. Sorry for inactivity, had to piece myself back together after some crazy work nights out in Spain.

Back to the subject of Heart of Darkness. I am now 100% sure, that we should have it act as a power source, rather than a wish-granting gem. So, whereas Hogyoku grants it's wielder's wishes, the HOD would lend them power to grant their wishes - with a considerable price, as expected from a cursed artifact. Like I said, it could also have it's own powers of manipulation and self-preservation (if it's wielder was to destroy it, it could do something to forbid them from doing so - mental influencing and even death by taking back the power it has lent). The tricky thing about HOD is, that it serves only itself, and all of it's wielders are destined to be bested - in fact, the heart itself could have it's wielder defeated, so that it could find a new owner.

This power could be used to access whatever the wielder wishes. Seach could long for enough power to return to his original body and strike terror in the hearts of his opponents (or something, I totally have no clue about his agendas, but the point is he has an agenda with the Heart of Darkness). Katherine could want the power to resurrect her deceased lover, and attain absolute beauty. Dante would want the power to dominate the lands around him, brute strength and undeniable kingship. Or smthing.

[Only admins are allowed to see this link] Are we introducing Virgil as the Bastard Prince of West? Even if Dante doesn't die, he is either captured or flees to safety his own kingdom cannot currently offer him, and in absence of both Annora (the Princess of West) and Morgoth (highest-ranked general of Dante), Virgil would have the perfect chance of seizing power in the West. There's still Berenguer and the remaining Horsemen, as well as the six of The 7 Deadly Sins, who were never written out, despite their existence as Dante's elite soldiers - Morgoth was the Pride of this group, btw. It looks like the kingdom of West isn't going to give up without a real fight.
