Ivanhoe meeting, storyline and banner

Hi IVANHOE! We had a wonderful and constructive meeting today, with a high attendance of 15, considering that so many people were overseas and all, so kudos to us!(:

I'm here to post our consolidated storyline (WOW transforming it into prose was !!!) as well as the banner design which many of the guys stayed back to do with paint/photoshop. (:

Attendance today was encouraging for everyone yo! Lets keep this FLAME going!:D

Anyhow, OG Outing tomorrow is cancelled because many people cannot make it, tentative dates will be this friday, or next week, either 2,4 December since people indicated its a good day! Will use it to bond together (Didnt play much today leh) and buy our banner stuff!:D Please do keep those dates free, ok?

SUMMARISED STORYLINE OF IVANHOE




Ivanhoe the Fiery was sent forward in time by Ananke.

In the shaking up of the times, he lost everything that he possessed and found himself alone and friendless in the icy mountains of Frost-aria. Having spent many days alone trying to find his way out to no avail, he grew dispirited with his loss of direction, and took to praying for his people’s well being.

One morning, when the cold was so tough he almost lost will to survive, he found a dying bird, and decided to eat it to satisfy his hunger. But cradling the dying bird in his hands, he looked into its eyes, saw something special into the depths of those watery pearls, and felt it would only be befitting of a hero to protect it with all the mettle he got...

He nursed the bird for a long while, drawing strength from his new companion, sheltered it from harm and gave it all he could, but sadly, as well as surely, the bird STILL died. The dead bird burst into flames and the smoke formed the shape of a phoenix, with the lament of the fallen phoenix singing its melancholic song.

A distraught Ivanhoe held up the ashes and held them close to his heart in grieve. And so his hands got burnt, and continued to burn for 3 days and 3 nights, before he burst into flames himself.

After a month of fiery mediation, the fire died. Ivanhoe found that he could control fire, and on top of that, courtesy to his previous demonstration of compassion, he had mastered the ability to transform into a phoenix.

So now, in the mind of the phoenix Ivanhoe flying away from the mountains towards the land of Victoria, fighting Ananke and restoring Victoria’s glory is all that is in his mind.




End of Storyline

And so this is our proposed banner design! As can be seen from the Phoenix below at the back, it represents Ivanhoe's morphing abilities (Must think of a nice cheer to go along :P) , and with the Ivanhoe standing at the front, with a (Would Be) Flaming sword! He has no legs for now, probably because he can fly already(:
Credits to Leo & Weiliang for brainstorming together for this concept!
