The Circle of Twelve (or was it 12?)

[Taloned-Owl]

Hey, I got my main Villain up and running, and I was actually wondering if anybody who remembers this pre-beta group would like to get it up and running? The last I heard of the group was that big assault we led on the city in Atlas Park. And that was the time I joined!

I was wondering if anybody had any info on what happened to the others((both in character and out)). I know that Druid's villain Sibbilance took part of the sabotage. I just can't remember the names of those pre-beta members. I can only remember that the leader was a child who was obsessed with marrionettes (sp).

As you can see, I have "unfinished business". I've already got my villainess to 10, and I have the name. Any info that would be helpful in rebooting the group would be grand.

Thank you for your time.

[Druid]

Noir was the leader

Elven Mage had a char on the team. Those are the only two I remember.

And yes I joined with Sibbilance around that time as well.

[Elemento]

I will ask Noir for you guys and get back to you on this.:)
He's on mobile right now but I'll catch him.

[Druid]

Noir still exists? Wow! Coolness.

[Joe Schmoe]

God, I wasn't a member, but hearing "Circle of 12" brings back sooo many memories. The team was awesome

[Taloned-Owl]

Oooh, that's awesome! I just may have a pre-beta character who is still with their original supergroup after all! I think it would be awesome to go into City of Villains with the same mindset I left my character on. And possibly finishing where we left off in the game.

I remember Noir, even if it's only by the name. I remember thinking "What an interesting character design..." and the Mastermind powerset would be perfect should the player decide to revive the team.

And to be honest, Druid, I remember Sibbilance quite well. We were somewhat fighting side by side in the battle. I don't remember which heroes you were fighting, but Murasakino Okima(then named Mistress Murasaki) was entangled with another prebeta member known as The Sonic Avenger(If I remember correctly) and another earth monipulating hero. I think the earth controlling hero contained me in... "earth" to strangle me, and Sibbilance with his morphing sword sliced Murasaki out of the earthen chamber and helped her to escape while the giant mushroom thingie rose from the ground... ((Of course, I recollect it as being something much more epic))

[Noir]

Yea i'm alive, just been drawing thats all and yes the leader was a little girl controling a human sized puppet and a mini sized puppet of girls. Her name was Emmirie Relm Requiem and we challanged and fought almost the entire coh forum groups lol.

anyways that would be great reviving them was a plan i had back in the day but never got into it, so if you want to revive them your more then welcome to =), just note that my manga version has relm and some of the important members on it.

Anyways yea those where the days hehe.

Got a hold of Noir and he's back here on the forums. :)

If you click my website in my sig, you can see how many I have on my guestmap. Den Kurogane is Noir on my map over by California there.

Be free to pin your location there too when you get the chance. ;)

Was that leader per chance a character of QTR Nevermore???

[Noir]

No i made her up, i got the idea from King of Fighters. But i added alot of my own personal touch on Emmirie making her control marrionettes and people. Emmirie <Human host> is the girl who got fooled into switching places with Relm <the demon> making the little girl based marionnete into flesh and Emmirie into a puppet.

If you still remembered back in the old rp thread Emmirie Relm Requiem was her full name and she is over protective of one of the towers that "Network" (one of the bad guys) was based in cuz there was a hidden room which the marionette Emmirie sleeps.

Welcome back! I would like very much to revive the group with your permission! I found your website through Elemento (thanks Elemento!). I was looking for your manga, but it says it wasn't done yet. I was hoping to find any piece of the Circle of Twelve's history I could.

I was wondering if you could possibly help me with the following questions as n depth as you like. If I make the group, I want it to be tied in closely with it's old roots on the CoH forums...

1. What was the group inspired by?
2. What was the significane of "Twelve"?
3. Was the name "The Circle of Twelve", "Circle of Twelve", "The Circle of 12", or "Circle of 12"?
4. Who were the twelve members?
5. What/where was the base?
6. Did the group do anything after the major attack on the city? Or is it safe for me to assume that many of the members were either arrested and imprisoned or fled the area?
7. Any other things you may find or that may seem available...

Thanks!

[Druid]

Meh, Sibbilance never runs, he merely got bored and left. :p

[Taloned-Owl]

Suuuuuuuuuuuuure... :p

Well, I remember being angered by the fight. Those heroes certainly didn't go easy on Mistress Murasaki. I was trying so hard not to god mod when they did something to me that warranted insta-death. Sonic Avenger traped us in a cone of sonic vibtrations; however, Murasaki's mask was able to absorb the sonic energy and use it toward regeneration. After that, the earth hero encased her in earth, intending to suffocate her. I somehow used all my energy trying to escape.

1. What was the group inspired by?

I got the idea from a manga i read back in the day called "bastard!" they were 4 tho, but it really made me want to start thinking of one like them only more.

2. What was the significane of "Twelve"?

If any1 remembers this, there was another thread i made called "The Assassin King Denma". Denma's story was in the bakumatsu era and he was a really powerful warrior not really a good guy nor bad but he kept on killing every warrior in the nation that he happen to come across. It took 12 of the best fighters from around the world to bring him down. in the end the twelve got big headed and ended up invading the nations they represent and was later named "The Circle of Twelve" by Imori Iigarashi thinking that her found new family needed to be known more then just power but for the noble name she represents.

3. Was the name "The Circle of Twelve", "Circle of Twelve", "The Circle of 12", or "Circle of 12"?

The Circle of Twelve

4. Who were the twelve members?

Don't really remember most of them, lets see there was a ninja type of guy and an elf warrior there was also one guy that i can never forget his name was Network and there was you and hmm, well it's been along time and most of the members i have in the manga are much more up-to-date.

The members of the past was in my manga was:

1 Gumashin Murasaku -Duel katana user and former member of the Shinsengumi-

2 Imori Iigarashi -Flute/harp user from a respected family of nobility she is also the great granmother of Siren of the Four Furies-

3 Burton McKenna -Great sword user son of Kavin McKenna, Denma's fiance's friend and gets to be Dras M'Vul after he was raised from the dead by Eve in the present.

4 Kross <no last name> -She is Setsuna's sister, undead and uses the blood sword masamune which she left behind to Den in the present after she left the circle and joined the vatican as a nun/assassin-

5 Eve <last name not known> -I'm sure the some of the members of the Goth hero group <don't remember the name> might remember her, she is Denma's lover but was angered when she found out that he had a fiance. She was later sealed by Ciel Nightroad-

6 Sion Nightroad -Ciel's younger sister that uses Rune magic unlike Ciel, she and her sister aren't human anymore and never age. She is also one of the original members that stayed in the circle-

7 Eiji Nakanishi -At first glance she looks like a harmless gaisha, she is an assassin of the Kurogane family but was banished after she attempted to kill Maori Nonaka fiance of Ryo Kurogane-

8 Galam De'Lacross -Dark Knight of Germany and a member of the Scarament of Scorn, he left the knights after he was offered to kill Denma and joined the circle in the end-

9 Orgred <no last name> -The strong arm of the cirlcle and is known for his short temper and the mass deaths around him after he gets angry-

10 Setsuna -<for those who remember he was one of my other characters in the Denma thread> he is Kross's older brother and they both don't get along, he also left after Emmirie banished him from the circle in the present-

11 Marco Knarenada -he is the sole survivor of the Knarenada army in the Denma war and joined the circle after Gumashin Murasaku offered to be his brother in arms-

12 Sei fon -A former monk from the east, a great fighter and master of the chinese saber and ki. She is also the wife of Galam De'Lacross-



The Present members <in my manga only>:

1 Emmirie Relm Requiem -I'm sure alot of you know her, she was the only viilan that was able to make the heroes of paragon sit and eat dinner with her while smiling at them knowing that they cannot use any powers inside her "relm"-

2 Sion Nightroad -nuff said-

3 Dras M'Vul -Formerly known as Burton McKenna and was raised from the dead by Eve in the present-

4 Network -The rich no-it-all that has every info on the heroes of paragon city <from what i remember he was really good on information and computers and corporate take overs>-

5 Ciel Nightroad -Sion's older sister, she uses arcane unlike Sion and sealed Eve after Eve killed Orgred in the battle of edo after she went crazy-

6 Kadena <no last name> -Uses chains as weapons, she is also Den's former friend-

7 Amon Knarenada -Great granson of Marco Knarenada and former member of the Hunters Society-

8 Rai -I'm sure you guys remember him right? he was Den's rival and the son of Urd of the fates-

9 Gulan De'Lacross -The last name says it all-

10 Killjoy -A demon from the underworld-

11 Tetra -An elemental being that thinks all man kind is nothing more then a waste of creation-

12 Mineva Kruez -A master of sound, the living shock wave from the phillipines. She joined the circle when Emmirie invited her and promised her full control of her powers-


5. What/where was the base?

The main base is a 3 towers in a triangle formation by the mountains over looking paragon city and the other was an arcade center in down town paragon city.

6. Did the group do anything after the major attack on the city? Or is it safe for me to assume that many of the members were either arrested and imprisoned or fled the area?

Well the sotry never finished cuz of that stupid site change thing and some of the rp'ers never showed up, what i did was made her sealed in the tower after the war by Den and the heroes of paragon, as for her host Emmirie, she is living a normal life with memory loss....and as for the rest of the group well i would think some got cought and the rest fled.

7. Any other things you may find or that may seem available...

Well i think i pretty much covered it. =)

Thank you so much! Do you have a messenger? I've noticed that many of your characters are Japanese lore related, as was my villainess. I took the language for two years, but other than that, my Japanese is so/so.

I could really use your help in developing mu character further. do you know any sites where I can find the history of Japan and various time periods? My character is supposedly a femenist warrior who nearly conquered all of feudal Japan if it wern't for her being outsmarted by the ones she hated most; men.

[Druid]

One (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e641.html)

Two, focuses on Samurai (http://www.samurai-archives.com/)

Three: Straight list of timelines (http://www.askasia.org/frclasrm/readings/t000013.htm)

Four, I'm to lazy to keep Hyperlinking, so here is a site that did it for me. Weeeee (http://www.lib.duke.edu/ias/eac/histwww.htm)

That enough? ;)

[Taloned-Owl]

Thank you, that was very helpful in choosing in which periods my character has lived through. Just for fun, I thought I'd add pictures of my character.

Yea my aim is DenKazuma, and kewl i don't need to scan and sharpen again cuz that was a pain in the butt.

[Taloned-Owl]

Thank you very much. As I wrap up Exams, I'm thinking more and more about what I'm going to do with this group. I'm somewhat unsure as of what I should do. When it comes to starting supergroups, I usually get no support and end up being the only one. So I'm sure I want to change some things in terms of my method of recruitment and what not. I know that I definitely want to include the information Noir gave me. I don't know... back to the drawing board...

[Noir]

Crazy year wasn't it? so whats the news in CoV?

[Druid]

Umm... Brutes Pwn.. and so does everyone else. What's up with ya Noir? You keep popping out of nowhere!

I have a habbit of doing that hehe :chuckle:

[Taloned-Owl]

Hey Noir! I keep forgetting to check this thread for replies :p. Just so you know, I decided that I don't really have time to run a VG at the moment. At the same time, I'm still holding the name on my Co12 character because... I can't see her in any other group. So, should you purchase the game, the name is waiting for you. Until then... I may launch the group in the distant future. Just thought you deserved an update on the group's status. And I actually have worked on Forums... if I could find the link...

[Taloned-Owl]

Just an Update: I've decided that I'm going to Greenlight the Circle for the Summer. I won't have all the time in the world, but It'll still be time and I have a rough Idea of how I'm going to run it. I have managed to recruit two other people as well.

[Noir]

Cool, well i am thinking of playing only CoV, but right now i'm having RL problems at the moment so who know how long it'll be =/
