Rules

• Declare before posting. This makes sure someone isn't editing their turn while you're editing yours.
• You must wait for two other people to declare and post before you can declare again. If no one has declared for three days, you can declare again.
• Declares must have their turns edited within 12 hrs, or they are voided.
• Only declare if you mean to finish your turn. It's particularly rude to declare and then hop off for the night, because it prevents others in different timezones from being able to play.

A lonely station drifts silently in space. What happened to the crew, and what will happen to the station?
Only time will tell. It appears all of the weaponry is powered down, although the cameras are still recording. Perhaps someone could utilize the equipment from the bridge?

Finally. After eons of searching, you have found it.
A tunnel to the surface. You have been trapped in the caverns for so long, you don't even remember your name.
Finally, you are free from the darkness that you have dwelt in. Finally you are free to see sunlight, drink fresh river water, eat whatever game you wish, look at the clouds an-
But what's this? smoke in the distance, lights inside wooden structures. Villages litter the previously beautiful landscape.
The surface races have pollutated the surface since your banishment to the caverns, decimated the forests, and ruined the mountains. You remember a time when they were not so numerous,
and you remember it well. several millenia ago you were created along with six others, to guard a shrine that contained a piece of the artifact of power.
The artifact was in sevenths, each shrine contained a shard. whoever united the shards would be unstoppable. so you guarded the shrine with your life. for years. Adventurers came and went.
Some preferred to examine the shrine from a distance, Others wished the shard for themselves, and they quickly became delicious snacks for you.
But one day you felt your cousins dying. One by one their connection with you was severed. and as the strongest of the forgotten beasts, you were confronted last by their murderers.
You saw their party of sixteen approaching. six wizards, ten champions. Knowing your cousins were all dead, you created a decoy out of trees, grass and moss.

Their champions entered the shrine with their weapons drawn, and assumed you were asleep. Little did they know you were right above them, waiting for the chance to strike.
The wizards entered the shrine and began whispering to one another. then they drew wands and pointed them at the decoy. There was a blinding flash of light, and the decoy was replaced by a pile of ash.
That's when you struck. Landing on a wizard from above, you clamped down on his head. Dropping him you then leapt onto another, before the champions could react, you had killed all the wizards.
Except one. Sivazi the great, an elf wizard. He saw you coming and jumped out of the way, behind the champions. Without his comrades to aid him, he was unable to cast the powerful spell of destruction.
The champions of the three races began fighting you, and he cast the spell of banishment, using up his life essence, and forcing you into the deepest darkest pit of the earth.

But that's the past, this is the present. You must deal with this blight that has surfaced in your absence.
What is your name?
What is your appearance? (I.E. A giant iguana, a blob. etc... must be fleshy though.)
What is your special ability? (I.E. Poisonious gas, Fire breath. Hunger for warm blood. etc... Nothing too powerful like massive explosions.)
