&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Cleanup}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{Contributor}}&lt;br /&gt;
'''TwilightPhoenix''' is a science fiction/fantasy [[writer]] (or sci-fantasy) who actively writes short stories and engages in web-board based roleplaying.  His stories, while not generally [[furry]] in nature, do often include furry characters (sometimes as the central character).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is presently working on a novel titled &amp;quot;Tigerheart&amp;quot; and states that he aims to have it finished by the end of summer 2007 at the latest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Works==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TwilightPhoenix is able to divide his stories into categoies based on the year they were written, though he does not list his works like this. Until recently, this has been limited to three categories: 2004, 2005, and 2006. The first he would label as the &amp;quot;Gamer Style Stories&amp;quot;, the second as the &amp;quot;Transistional Period&amp;quot;, and the final as the &amp;quot;Present Style&amp;quot;, which roughly correlate with the year written.  It remains to be seen if 2007 works will he given a new category or be placed in the &amp;quot;Present Style&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of what he writes is science fiction, fantasy, or both combined.  Twilight's stories generally revolve around action and combat with the climax laying somewhere in a fight or battle.  These are almost always written from a third-person omniscient perspective and serious in nature.  He has also been described as using a very formal style, which somtimes contrasts with, and even clashes against, some of the character's dialogue, according to some comments.  Though he hardly is above writing humor pieces, albeit they are few.  They usually tend to be his favorite works, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Presently, Twilight is working on rewriting his work from the &amp;quot;Gamer Style Stories&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Transitional Period&amp;quot; categories, though he admits he isn't even changing the plot in them at all, just how they are written.  He claims that this is due to the fact that most of them, if not all, are no longer canon within his universe.  He also adds that if he were to change the plot enough to make it good in his eyes, he might as well write a new story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Gamer Style Stories===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Stories listed in chronological order of writing.  Also note that stories with a * at the end signifies canonnity.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Battle Against Prodigal (Heavily revised)&lt;br /&gt;
*The Assassination Attempt (Heavily revised)&lt;br /&gt;
*Blitzball, Its Not a Game, its a Lifestyle&lt;br /&gt;

*Betrayal at Murdin Fields&lt;br /&gt;
*Guild Wars:  Syma Strikes Back (Warcraft fanfiction)&lt;br /&gt;
*The Mind is a Lethal Weapon* (Partially canon)&lt;br /&gt;
*The Final Exam&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of the Beginning* (Partial history of the universe, written like a historical document.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transitional Period===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Lost Stories (Not actually a story, Twilight claims to have written six or seven stories that are literally lost.)&lt;br /&gt;
*Battle At Vorik&lt;br /&gt;
*The Legendary Warrior (Warcraft Fanfiction)&lt;br /&gt;
*Forgotten Honor* (Partially canon)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Present Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twilight sometimes refers to this category as &amp;quot;Stories Worth Reading&amp;quot;. Some of the later ones in this category are also 2007 works.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Dark Deceptions* (Best of 2005.)&lt;br /&gt;
*Is Freedom Not Worth Dying For?&lt;br /&gt;
*Appendix of Races* (Not a story, revised numerous times)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{ContributorU}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This'll likely be the shortest and most informal of all my user pages on a Wiki, since I don't expect to be spending much time here at all.  Normally I write them like any other article, but I don't intend to be here more than checking a single article occasionally.  So, if you want to know more about my editing and such, look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TwilightPhoenix my Wikipedia userpage] and [http://evn.wikia.com/wiki/User:JoshTigerheart My EVN Wiki user page].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, real brief bit revelant to this wiki.  I'd consider myself a light fur, given I write about/roleplaying [[furry]] characters, play [[Starfox]], and furry art is more likely to catch my idea.  I don't [[fursuit]], make animal noises, go to conventions, participate in the furry community, have a [[fursona]] (or personal furry, based on the article's definition), etc.  As for my writings, some of them include furry characters, others do not.  And no, I don't write [[yiff]], so don't even ask.  Most of my works can be found on *[http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/libr/t/w/twiphoenix/twiphoenix.html Elfwood], minus two pieces of Warcraft fan fiction I wrote back before the universe got butchered.  If you're looking for stories that have furs in them, try ''The Mind is a Lethal Weapon'', ''Blitzball, Its Not a Game, Its a Lifestyle'', ''A Fate Worse Than Death'', ''The Legend of Taur'', ''V-I Day'', ''The Beginning of the End'', ''Fated Destiny'', and ''Private: First Class''.  Just to warn you, some of those pieces are old and do not reflect my current writing ability or style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also worth mentioning, I'm working on a novel, which I am calling '''Tigerheart''' (bolded because there's no underline code).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==To do==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Patrol [[TwilightPhoenix|my]] article and try to keep it from sounding vain.&lt;br /&gt;
*Patrol [[Nephilim]] and try to improve it.&lt;br /&gt;
*Sooner or later write an article on the Slithzerikai.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

He claims that this is due to the fact that most of them, if not all, are no longer cannon within his universe.  He also adds that if he were to change the plot enough to make it good in his eyes, he might as well write a new story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Gamer Style Stories===&lt;br /&gt;

*Blitzball, Its Not a Game, its a Lifestyle (Non-cannon, minor furry characters)&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;TwilightPhoenix: Wrote article.  Could use some work, but I don't have time to play through the games again to find the information needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[Image:nephilim.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A male (right) and female (left) Nephilim as depicted in the Avernum remake of the Exile series.]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Nephilim''', nephil for short, are a race of feline humanoids in the game series [[Exile]] and its remake [[Avernum]].  Most of their population lives in the underworld after being sent there by the Empire.  Some still manage to survive on the surface, though they are constantly hunted down by Empire who wishes to exterminate all non-humans.  As a result, most nephilim both in Exile/Avernum and on the surface are hostile towards humans, though some do get along and even live among humans.  Nephilim are one of the three playable races in series, the other two being humans and [[slithzerikai]] and also serve as an enemy for the player's party to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==General Information==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the games never explain in-depth about nephilim societies, much can be gleened from the in-game descriptions and comments by the many NPCs.  Once common on the surface, now mostly extinct due to the Empire's genocide.  Most of the survivors live in the underword known as Exile or, in the remakes, Avernum.  Nephilim live together in clans, which usually consists of a single village led either by a chieftain or shaman.  They are generally wary of outsiders and prefer to avoid contact, mostly due to the Empire's oppression.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some nephilim are barbaric in nature, attacking all humans without provocation.  They are known to worship dark beings and possibly demons, though none are ever mentioned in particular.  They are also known to cruely torture and execute prisoners and slaves.  Goblins tend to be the most commonly kept slave, though, while not seen in-game, humans are also known to be enslaved as well.  Most nephilim, at least those seen in-game, tend to be evil in nature, though as the series progressess they seem to decline in number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other nephilim more or less get along with humans, some even living among them.  In a few instances within the games they can be seen running a shop in some of the towns or offering the players a quest.  While the player's part does encounter several friendly villages, all of these are only world map events and are not treated like normal towns, leaving the nephils without the equivalent to the slith's town of Gnass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nephilim are extremely agile and dexterous, quicker than any other race in the game.  They often have archers with them and their warriors often carry javelins.  Even with their advantage, they are also capable of being as strong as any other race in the game, though there are far fewer who are mentioned to be like this.  It can also be assumed that nephilim are slightly smaller than most other races, as their graphics and sprites tend to potray them a bit shorter and thinner than others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nepharim===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes a newborn nephillim is born bigger, meaner, and sterile.  These are known as nepharim and nobody knows why this happens, but it does.  Nepharim retain all the advantages of their nephilim cousins to go along with their increased strength and toughness, though they are far fewer in number and much more reclusive, often seperating themselves even from their smaller cousins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nephilim and Nepharim generally do not get along.  While on occasion a nephar may be leading a nephilim clan, more often they seem to fight amongst each other.  This is most evident in Exile/Avernum 2 where a tribe of Nepharim has enslaved an entire nephilim clan.  Also, a nephilim NPC in Avernum two mentions that he loves all of his children, even the nepharim, which seems to suggest that nephilim parents generally cast out nepharim children.&lt;br /&gt;

==In The Games==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Exile 2, 3, Blades and in Avernum 2, 3, Blades, and 4, the player can add nephilim to his party.  In the Exile series, nephils get a dexterity bonus but a 10% exp penalty.  In the Avernum series nephilim get bonuses to bow and throwing skills, sometimes get additional move points, may get their turn sooner in combat, and are harder to hit.  They also get a 10% exp penalty.  Having a nephilim in the player's party will cause several NPCs to react differently, usually by comments they may make, though some may dislike them and refuse to help the player while others may help because you have a nephil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Exile/Avernum===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nephilim are primarily an early game foe, as relations between them and humans have not yet smoothed out.  It is noted that they are sent down to the underworld by a different portal, though where it is remains unknown.  Almost all of the nephilim encountered in the game are hostile and will attack the player's party on sight.  The barbaric nephilim are highly organized and only their desire is to slay all humans and take over the caves, though they are not a numerous as the barbaric slithzerikai who have the same goals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*One of the first quests in the game, which is optional, is to slay the chieftain of a new nephilim fort being constructed by goblin slaves.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The first main quest sends the player to the nephilim's main fortress to retrieve an amulet stolen from the mayor of Formello.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*One of the later early game quests has the player rescue a group of prisoners from a nepharim fortress.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*During a mid-game optional quest to slay an ogre mage, the player has the option to free a group of nephilim from prison.  While they are hostile, they have only have the energy to hiss at the player and walk by is released.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In a late game optional dungeon, the player's party becomes trapped inside the giant's fortress.  Two fellow prisoners, a human and a nepharim, advises the party on how to get everyone free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Exile/Avernum 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the Empire invading the underworld, most humans, or more specifically, the exiles/avernites and nephils generally get along and work together to fight a common foe.  There are many more nephilim for the player to interact with and may even include them in their party.  Some nephilim also run several of the shops in the game as well.  However, not all are friendly.  A number refuse to have peace and continue to harass humans while others have taken up careers as brigands.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Fort Ganrick, the game's starting location, comes under attack from hostile nephilim very early on, though this battle could be avoid entirely if the party used a different entrance/exit other than the main gate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The first quest in the game, which is optional, is to slay the nepharim chieftain of a group of barbaric nephilim who took over the mines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*One of the optional late chapter 1 quests has the player sent to destroy an altar used by crazed nephils to make undead.  The altar is located in the ruins of the fortress the player was sent to recover the amulet for the mayor of Formello in the first game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*An early, optional chapter 4 quests has the player slave the chieftain of a nepharim clan and rescue to the enslaved nephilim in order to secure help from the local clans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Another optional quest in early chapter 4 the player can cure a mysterious disease afflicting a clan of nephilim near Mertis by giving them graymold salve.  Doing so will result in the other clans near Mertis eager to help the player by offering to sell potions, magical charms, or train them in the bow skill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Exile/Avernum 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only game in the series to take place on the surface, excluding Blades, since users could make surface scenarios.  Nephilim are rare on the surface due to the Empire's genocide.  Having a nephilim in the party results in many more combat encounters with local militia, discriminating guards, prejudice townsfolk, etc, especially in the Avernum remake.  A number of NPCs may also withhold help.  On the other hand, a nephilim will enable the player to avoid combat with other nephilim and somtimes even recieve aid from the few tribes there are.  Though, despite all the hatred, some manage to live in the more tolerant surface cities running shops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In Upper Exile/Avernum, some hostile nephilim bandits roam around, but have no base.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The goblin tribe in an early optional dungeon is apperantly led by a nephil, as one is present in cave that the game describes as cleaner and more luxarious, though it does not come right out and say the nephil is leading them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In an outdoor encounter in Southern Valorim, the player has the option to save a group of nephilim from a group of ogres.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On the Island of Bigail, the player can help a nephil recover a charm important to the feline's honor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In Central Valorim, the player can help defend a nephil settlement from trogoldytes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In North Eastern Valorim, a there is a lone nephil who will train the party in the bow skill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Avernum 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are far fewer hostile nephilim in the underworld.  Those that remain are primarily bandits, though there is one barbarian clan the player has to deal with.  There are many more nephilim NPCs around as well, now commonly seen in merchant caravans, with travelers, adventurers and other small groups.  And, like always, some still run a few shops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*One of the few remaining barbarian clans, the Longtails, took over a checkpost and blocks access to Fort Draco.  The player has to fight through them in order to advance.  Slaying their chief is also an optional quest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*During the first main quest, there are a number of mind-controlled nephilim who will attack the player.  Slaying their master, however, will set them free, causing them to no longer be hostile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A mid-game optional quest sends the player to find a nepharim bandit fortress in the Honeycomb.  Another optional quest given by a nephilim named Arrwm has the player kill Hosharr, its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Later in the game, an optional quest has the player hunt down a half-breed nephilim bandit.  Though exactly what the other half is the game doesn't say, though based on the physical description given, it may be human.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;{{ContributorU}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This'll likely be the shortest and most informal of all my user pages on a Wiki, since I don't expect to be spending much time here at all.  Normally I write them like any other article, but I don't intend to be here more than checking a single article occasionally.  So, if you want to know more about my editing and such, look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TwilightPhoenix my Wikipedia userpage] and [http://evn.wikia.com/wiki/User:JoshTigerheart My EVN Wiki user page].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, real brief bit revelant to this wiki.  I'd consider myself a light fur, given I write about/roleplaying [[furry]] characters, play [[Starfox]], and furry art is more likely to catch my idea.  I don't [[fursuit]], make animal noises, go to conventions, participate in the furry community, have a [[fursona]] (or personal furry, based on the article's definition), etc.  As for my writings, some of them include furry characters, others do not.  And no, I don't write [[yiff]], so don't even ask.  Most of my works can be found on *[http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/libr/t/w/twiphoenix/twiphoenix.html Elfwood], minus two pieces of Warcraft fan fiction I wrote back before the universe got butchered.  If you're looking for stories that have furs in them, try ''The Mind is a Lethal Weapon'', ''Blitzball, Its Not a Game, Its a Lifestyle'', ''A Fate Worse Than Death'', ''The Legend of Taur'', ''V-I Day'', and ''The Beginning of the End''.  Just to warn you, some of those pieces are old and do not reflect my current writing ability or style.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== I have an article? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seems someone considers me renouned enough to have my own article on a Wiki, even though I haven't heard of this one before.  Who ever it was that emailed me and notified me, thanks again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, while I am flattered someone made this, the article was...quite poorly done, especially the initial creation.  That was atrocious, to say the least.  As a Wikipedian and heavy contributer to the Escape Velocity Nova Wiki, I wouldn't be caught dead writing something that poor, no offense to the authors.  I've touched it up a bit and improved it a bit, but I'm not sure how much it is allowed to be expanded for writers.  Can anyone fill me in on that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll probably patrol this article, since it is about me, to make sure at the least people spell my character and story names correctly (Its not Verashan its Vera'Shan, not ''Mind is a Weapon'' but ''The Mind is a Lethal Weapon'', etc.) and the information is accurate.  -[[User:TwilightPhoenix|TwilightPhoenix]] 22:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;'''TwilightPhoenix''' is a science fiction/fantasy [[writer]] (or sci-fantasy) who actively writes short stories and engages in web-board based roleplaying.  His stories, while not generally [[furry]] in nature, does include them in a fair share of stories, sometimes as the central character, though not all of his works includes them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also claims to be preparing to start on a novel, though has been for quite awhile.&lt;br /&gt;
