Shenmi Jingren

OC

Race / Human

Summoner / Acolyte

Conjurer

A few months after the launch of ETO, Shenmi Jingren appeared out of nowhere and started a career as a stage magician (and discreet entertainer mingling with the clientele) in the gambling establishments of Kallamore. He still does, and when he's not in the middle of a performance, he's known to revel in the hedonistic pleasures offered by his Kingdom to the point of a suspected addiction; he leaves the dazzling scene of Lumina Cloth only for the occasional promotional tour, training journey to develop new routines, and for acquiring the creatures (be it monsters or animals) he needs for his shows.

"Prepare to be amazed, astonished, astounded!" - Shenmi Jingren

Name Date Summary
War of Dragons: Uncrowned 2021 December 27th
The Uncrowned come to Alne to speak to the Adventurers who have gathered, revealing their existance and what is truly going on with the Palace Land war.
Welcoming the Uncrowned 2022 January 1st
The Doctor of Tolbana has an interest in meeting the Uncrowned, but the situation being what it is has had him holed up in the tower coordinating business more often than not. So, instead of sallying forth to meet them out in the wilderness, Prophylaxis has instead invited them to the Dragon's Larder inn, Tolbana, for some rest, relaxation, and an opportunity to potentially find a safe harbor in war-torn Yamato.

Plus, he might just have a few questions to ask them as well...
Canoeing With Uncrowned 2022 January 9th
The Uncrowned, fearing what will happen if they die here in Yamato, start to look into finding new places to call home. Their first stop is Mac Anu and possibly running into the residents there in.

OOC: Social scene mostly. Uncrowned explicitly invited, as well as anyone who might be wanting to meet them that hasn't.

Duty Session 427: Obligatory Rat Maze 2022 January 28th
It has been a year of Adventurers delving into the underground of various cities across Yamato, seeking to eliminate the rat infestation that has caused so many shopkeepers trouble. After all this time, something finally seems to have changed. The shopkeeper's dialogue has changed, explaining that while repairing their cellars, they found a passageway into a deeper part of the underground. Since then, rats have been finding their way up through the previously sealed passage.

Now, they are seeking brave Adventurers who are willing to, once again, explore the tunnels beneath the city, in order to seek out this new source of rats.

Duty Session 495: Fireball Solves Everything 2022 June 3rd
Scattered throughout the forests of Eastal, a number of structures which are believed to have been used for religious rituals in honor to The Burning Goddess lie abandoned. It is said that some of them still contain Igneous Stones, specially crafted rocks used to stabilize and control flames. The secret of their manufacture has been lost to time, and scholars all over Yamato are willing to pay well for some samples to study in the hope to re-discover how they were made. As usual, the encountered challenges will require a variety of skills and ability to be overcome, but due to the special attunement of these structures with the element of Fire, the cooldown time for flame-related Artes is reduced dramatically, thus making this mission a favorite of people who specialize in this style of combat.

Gamer Training 2022 October 1st

Aschente! 2023 April 23rd
The town square of Dun Loireag has transformed over the course of a week into a festival dedicated to games of chance and skill. Everything from paying to food and drink to winning carnival prizes to ending up the next subject of the dunk tank is up to the whims of fortune. The only overarching rule is that each game is preceded by a binding oath of 'Aschente'... and that getting caught cheating is strictly not allowed. This isn't necessarily bizarre in and of itself, but the identity of the one sponsoring and organizing the whole thing /is./

That person: the Doctor of Tolbana, Prophylaxis.

What mischief is he up to? Will Alicia Rue lose it all in a game of strip poker!? (Probably not, rating is as rating does) And most importantly, who will go home with the mysterious grand prize!?

Find out here!!

(Scene will be full of games of chance (and skill(?)) in the style of carnival shenanigans. You might lose your shirt. You will probably lose your dignity. But it's all in good fun, probably.)

Chaos is Magical 2023 September 22nd
