"Where brilliance is good and madness is better..."
Helovia Info
Helovia opened in February 2012! We are an active fantasy equine RPG
Where once the world narrowed into naught but gray dust and desolation, the gods called for life. Wielding the elements of fire and light, dark and wind, earth and water, spark and time, they have created Helovia. The realm is set within the mythical globe of Loorien, a planet rich with all variety of creatures and blessed with all manner of magic. Originally populated by nomadic, tribal characters, they've since grown into massive empires saturated with culture and history. Separated into four distinct segments of Helovia, called "The Regions," each band of horse strong enough and capable enough, took up the power and responsibility of leadership. Unicorns, old, wise and mysterious, took to the north, hidden in forests of mists and shadows and rarely making themselves known beyond their cliffs of the World's Edge. Equines, vast, organized and militaristic, split into two, one group went north to the Windtossed Foothills and the other group went south to the Dragon's Throat. Pegasus remained nomadic, making their homes in various parts of The Wilds in a migratory manner. For many generations, the land was peaceful and calm, but peace was never the way of the gods. With a clash of argument, war and bloodshed massacred Helovia, and in the aftermath, the realm was eerily quiet. Now, as newcomers sweep into this land, they are met with the lingering bitterness of the gods and the struggle to reclaim what was lost. Nothing remains safe or certain while sorcerers and soldiers alike brood and bide their time for revenge, honor and glory.

Restoration :: We Welcome the Dawn ☼ - 9/21/13 - The sun has finally risen on this day, giving the land new light, but the Time God and the Sun God have yet to be seen.
Endless Night :: Broken Magic Plot ☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.
☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.
Endless Night :: Dead Magic Plot ☼ - 6/22/13 - The gods of Helovia, in order to protect the world, have disappeared into the rift, leaving the world sunless, moonless and magic-less in their absence. Only the herdlands have a source of light, but lamp-trees with glowing leaves and branches sporadically line the popular roads and paths from place to place.
Doppleganger Plot ☼ - 6/20/13 - The God of Time is still struggling to close the rift though which the dopplegangers have come. He has requested that his brothers and sister assist in closing this hole, but without knowing why it opened, the task is proving difficult. Magic still remains faulty and hard to control, but the herdlands continue to be places of refuge for those who are fortunate enough to call these lands home.
ORANGEMOON cools off the lands with a a viscious force. Colder than normal, a sign of things to come during Frostfall, Helovia is bathed in a rich tropical lushness - albiet a cold one. The coastlines of the Dragon's Throat are pelted constantly by tidal waves, and the desert climate is humid but chilly. Ice begins to form early in the Aurora Basin leaving the winding trails slick and dangerous. The mists of the World's Edge coat everything in a glistening crystalline shine which encourages mould to grow everywhere. The Spectral Marsh is the only area which remains fertile, blissfully temperature and lush.

Character of the Month for
June, 2017
WEAVER, Corporal of the Aurora Basin, is a relatively recent addition to Helovia and has taken it by storm. Branded with the seal of Death on her chest, intrigue and interest follow both her past and present. Though she is assuredly beautiful, her sometimes sharp personality reveals that there is more to this uni-peg hybrid than meets the eye. Proving herself able on the battlefield in the Basin’s warrior ranks, we can’t wait to see her test her mettle against the looming Kaos happenings! Congratulations!

Okay, so it isn't really on *easy* but it will be easier. I know a lot of people don't want to spar with Gaucho because of what a monster he is, but I really love sparring. Maybe this will make things slightly more interesting?
Gaucho is currently on a quest. For the second part of the quest he will not be able to feel any touch. What this would mean for a spar is that Gaucho would have a hard time placing his opponent and realistically taking damage. If you were sparring, all of a sudden he would be injured and not have a great idea how/where (only the general vicinity), and how badly. HOPEFULLY THIS MEANS HE WILL DO STUPID THINGS IN THE SPAR AND YOU WILL WIN. Gaucho's defense is currently 10.5, which I will lower to 8.5 for any spars that happen in this time period. His attack is also 8 which I will lower to 6 and his damage is 7.5, which I'll lower to 6.5. THIS MEANS YOU'LL HAVE AN EASIER CHANGE OF HITTING HIM, AND IF HE HITS YOU, IT WON'T BE SO BAD. Modified stats: ATK: 6 | DEF: 8.5 | DMG: 6.5 HP: 80
For part three of his quest, he won't be able to see any living creature. OH SNAP. You can see how that would make it really hard to spar with someone, because anyone he fights will basically be invisible to him. AWESOME. So for stats, I will keep damage where it is at 7.5, but will lower his attack from 8 to 5, and his defense from 10.5 to 6. ATK: 5 | DEF: 6 | DMG: 7.5 HP: 80
tl;dr : Even though Gaucho's HP will still be really high, you'll have a way higher chance of hitting him, and when he does hit you it isn't going to be the +10 damage like it normally is. That will keep your HP higher too while you knock his down!
HERE IS THE ONLY RULE: Ya'll need to reply to these quickly. These are going to be on the regular timeline, but I want the expectation to be that you reply within a few days (maximum of 10). Why? Because this is part of his awesome blowing-up-Helovia quest and I don't want a spar to be the reason that it gets dragged out longer than it is. HOWEVER If you want to spar with Gaucho normally (that is, normal stats) I can be much more relaxed about that :D.
I will accept a maximum of three people (assuming there's that much interest) with a maximum of 2 people per segment of his quest, and spars would begin in about a week and a half? Gaucho is just waiting on his Forger to build him a bucket :) .
I will also happily make these teaching spars if anyone would like that.
If you're interested, please let me know the following information. This is not first come first served. It will be based on things such as: how active are you in fact? Have we been waiting to thread? Would it be hilarious? Have we been wanting to spar? Etc.
Character Name :: During Time period 1 or 2 :: Teaching Y/N :: Agree to reply as quickly as you can (under 10 days)?
Thanks guys! <3
Please tag me in every post! Magic/Force is allowed on Gaucho at any time.

TAKE MY SPARRING VIRGINITY AUD
UHM either Irry or Somnus x.x :: probably #2, but i'm cool with either :: Teaching yes! o: :: Agree to reply as quickly as you can (under 10 days)? jaja, I should have more time now with soccer season over
please tag irry in every post! magic & aggression allowed w/o death
If you're still up for it, Gaucho and Sikeax could spar on the island, after their patrol if you'd be fine with it shoved in that timeline. Whatever you feel comfortable with Will probably work with me.
you were angels,
so much more than everything
:: please tag me
:: minor force and power play allowed
So up for it! Panz/Gaucho's graveyard fight was cut short...What better way to make up for it than with a real spar? ;D And it would be Panz's first official one!
Panzram: 1 : Teaching: Hmm, sure why not! : And definitely promise to reply under ten days!
Please tag Panzram in first posts only. Violence and magic can be used on him, just please do not kill or permanently injure/maim.
Would you want to place Archi/Gaucho spar during this time? We've been wanting to spar then for a while, now, and I think it would be cool character development for it to be part of his quest.
Through the ages of time
I've been known for my hate,
but I'm a dealer of simple choices;
for me it's never too late.
I am, but I want to give a heads up for the next week my activity will be spotty. Having extreme back pain and the only thing that helps so far is meds that knock me out. I will be seeing a dr monday, so hopefully I can get something that doesn't make me feel so out of it.
But I definitely want to get a spar with them done! It would be Panz's first official spar! :D

I know it's Christmas season still and people are busy with obligations. I just wanted to remind you that since this is part of Gaucho's quest I'd really, really appreciate it moving along quickly!
Also, BONUS in case you didn't know - finishing our spars gets you bonus points towards the SWP since they happen on the island.
I'd like to add in more but I'd also like to finish this quest. So i'll play it by ear and tag ya'll if I have more time and see if you're still interested? <3
