I love all of you. Genuinely. That is all. <3 No, this wasn't a dare. I'm serious.
Thanks to Fearless and her mostly unrelated thread, I have begun writing a Pokémon parodyfic. It will have the standard Pokémon kinda plot. Maybe. I figure KHV members making appearance would be appropriate. Want to be in it? Just let me know what kind of role you'd like. If you can't think of anything, I'll just assign you something, either fitting or just at complete random. Come at me, bros. EDIT: Here, have a preview paragraph.
Now all in the first post! ________________ As I nervously venture outside of the RP and Spam zones, I will go ahead and say that this was the very first piece of serious writting I ever did. I had attempted to write things before, but nothing of this scale. I'd also like to state that I began writting this almost six years ago now, and my writting style has changed a fair amount. That'll probably be visible within the text itself. That said, on with the show. Spoiler: Chapter 1 The two of them ran around the corner as fast as they could. The skyscraper they were in shook. “It’s getting closer,†echoed a voice from the radios they were both carrying, “get out of there, fast!†A low rumbling could be heard from the floor above. “Keep going down, Derek, we’ll be on the bottom floor†said the voice again. “Don’t be stupid, get out of here. Me and Hannah can handle ourselves, just go!†replied Derek. The two of them kept running. They got to the seventh floor when Hannah tripped. Her leg was bleeding slightly. Derek turned to help her, and saw the shape across the hallway. It was the thing they were running from. “Go! Save yourself!†cried Hannah, she was obviously still very scared. “I can’t leave without you.†Derek replied. “Yes you can, just go.†The shape was getting closer. Derek ran to her and picked her up, putting her on his shoulder. He looked up and saw it, now less than ten metres away. Derek practically jumped down the stairs, and as the creature followed it hit the wall, bringing down the ceiling on it’s self. The rumbling stopped, but faint footsteps could be heard from above. The footsteps seemed relaxed, almost as if nothing was happening. Derek took a moment to examine Hannah’s leg. It had been cut on glass, a large amount of which was still embedded in her flesh. He ripped a section of his shirt off and used it to cover the wound. “Why did you do that?†asked Hannah, “why did you risk your life for me?†“Because we’re partners†replied Derek. Another shockwave rippled through the building. This one was more intense than the first, in that it caused the next staircase to collapse in on itself. The two of them watched in despair, as their only exit was blocked with rubble. They heard more rumbling, and the creature smashed out of the rubble. “I told you not to try and stop me, now you’ll pay the price.†……… Jay opened his eyes and saw the ceiling. The dream he just had still echoed through his mind. He had never seen those people before, yet he dreamed of them. Confused, he got up and looked around. He was in a shelter. “When will this all stop, eh?†a man said, from the next bed “When will he stop?†“When will who stop?†Jay asked. “What am I even doing here?†“What, you hit your head or something? I’m talking about Darkness†Jay just looked at the man, still obviously confused. “You honestly don’t know who I mean, do you?†the man looked puzzled. “Well, you’ll find out soon enoughâ€. The man walked off, further into the shelter. Jay, although still confused, shrugged it off and walked to the entrance of the shelter. He was about to open it when a girl, about the same age as him, ran in front of him. “What are you doing? You do know that if you open that door we’re all going to die, right?†she asked. “What? Why?†Jay had no idea what was happening. The girl sighed. “Come with me, I’ll show you exactly why†she turned around and walked into the next section of the shelter, of which Jay became more and more convinced that it was actually an military base. Jay walked after the girl until she stopped, in front of some sort of screen. Jay stopped next to her. The girl started pressing some buttons, and pointed for him to watch the screen. It flickered until a video faded into view. Buildings were slanted, cars upturned and fire everywhere. A single, tall, shadowy figure stood at the top of one of the buildings. Jay gasped; how could something like this have happened? The shape jumped down, and walked towards where the camera had obviously been. As it approached, it pulled back its arm. In a single second, a black ball had appeared in its hand. It put its arm straight forward, releasing the ball, which flew straight towards the screen. The screen fuzzed out. “That’s the last recording we got of him. Me and some others have been trying to find a way to sabotage his plans, but so far we’re not doing good…†“Him? That thing…†Jay paused “that thing’s human?†“He was, now we’re not so sure†they stopped talking. A strange noise came through the system of tunnels. The girl turned around to see what it was. According to the electronic map that was on the wall, entire sections were being damaged. She looked at Jay, as if to ask him if he knew anything. He obviously didn’t, as he looked equally confused. ……… “You’ll find out soon enough†the man told Jay. “Sooner than you think, boy†he added. The man turned around and walked further into the shelter. He stopped at the entrance to the training room. He opened up the door, though he was obviously not going to train. The man was quite old, at least fifty, and had greying hair and a moustache to match. He was very skinny and had such a face, that it seemed as if it was changing in the light. Through the doors, there were two men, both in their mid-twenties and a woman who was in her thirties. All three of the people looked at the man as he walked in, they obviously could tell something was wrong about him. The woman walked up to him “Sorry, you’ll have to leave, this room is for defence personnel only†she said. “Oh, I’m sorry. I thought I came in here for something, but I’ll leave you in peace†He began to walk out of the room. “Oh yes! I remember what I came in here for†his face appeared to ripple and his voice deepened, “I came here to destroy you!†It suddenly became apparent that his skin didn’t just appear to be rippling, it actually was. His skin slowly changed into a black, shadowy substance and his eyes turned a deep red. “I’ll make this quick†the man said, if he could still be called a man. ……… “Those were explosions!†the girl said, “but we don’t have explosives here…†she began to think. An echoing laugh filled the shelter with fear. “I know that laugh†she turned to face Jay, “we need to get out of here. Now†The two of them ran to the main entrance of the base and opened the doors wide. Jay was hit with the sudden realisation of what was taking place. The sky was covered in an orange glow, buildings lay shattered and broken on the ground and the ashes of things that were once living were scattered against every surface. “What happened here?†Jay asked “How could something like this happen?†“There’ll be time for explanations later, right now we need to get to the next base and warn them about what happened in this one†she looked around. “This way, hurry†The two of them ran as fast as they could, towards one of the buildings. The building was quite small, but not as damaged as most of the others. Inside was empty, except for a large circle that appeared to have been drawn on the floor. The girl stepped into it and beckoned for Jay to follow. He had just got his left foot inside when a wall was smashed open. A black, human-shaped object was floating where the wall was, and the girl panicked. “Get in now! Quickly!†she shouted at Jay. He jumped in just as the floating thing flew towards him. A bright green glow shone up from the circle. The creature was knocked back by it as the girl and Jay slowly faded into nothingness. “You won’t get away from me every time, children. One day I will get you.†The shadow called, fading away. ……… Spoiler: Chapter 2 ……… The two of them arrived in another building, this one not damaged at all. All around the building was a light green glow, which was probably the reason that nothing had been damaged. Jay noticed that there where more people here. Five other people, including the girl that saved him stood against a wall. “I never quite introduced myself, did I?†the girl said, “I’m Hannah Lapine, this is Ethan Blaydon, Amy Mayes, Derek Greene and Swift†The people referred to were all so different, it was hard to believe they were working together. Jay took a moment to take in their appearances one by one. They were all of average height and build, but each with obvious characteristics. Hannah had deep, brown eyes, dark brown hair and gave a first impression of a stern and determined person. Derek was the only person in the group that had coloured skin, though rather than brown it looked a dusty grey. He had green eyes and no hair. Ethan looked quite calm for someone who lived in such an environment and had a somehow warm blue tint to his eyes, and pitch black hair. Swift was more difficult to examine. Though it was easy to see his physical traits, his eyes looked cold and grey, with his unmoving face appearing to have had all emotion slowly torn away. His hair was hidden by a hooded brown cape that appeared to have a mind of its own as it fluttered slightly in an improbable breeze. Amy was the one that instantly caught his attention. Her short blond hair and blue eyes instantly captivated Jay’s thoughts. “There aren’t any more than this of us, but we manage somehow†Jay ripped his eyes away from Amy. “Bad news Han†said Derek “the teleportation platform you just used has been completely destroyed. There’s no way to send him back†“Send him back? Why’d we want to do that?†Hannah asked. “Seriously, sending him back would do no good. He’ll have to stay hereâ€. She looked at Jay. “That is, if you don’t have anywhere else you’d rather be?†“Not really, with that thing around I can’t think of any other choice but to stay here.†He replied, although the real reason behind the answer was looking at him from the other side of the room. “Then it’s settled, he stays here†said Ethan out of nowhere. “We better get his training started!†Jay was taken aback from what he had just let himself into. ……… In the city’s main skyscraper, the sound of metal upon concrete could be heard. As the sound got louder and heavier, so did the shadows in a partially obscured corner increase in size. A strange sight to any ordinary man, a black robotic body walked around the corner, half covered in the radiance of the full moon outside. The robot was around 6 feet tall, the average height for a human male. It stopped, turned and looked at the corner where the shadowy figure that was Darkness now stood. “You made it in time I see.†Darkness said, with a voice full of restrained anger. But this anger was not the robot’s to have. “I did. Did the others not?†The robot spoke. Its male-inspired mechanical voce spoke. “Wrong†spoke another voice, this one sounding somehow more pleasant. Sure enough, a brown haired male revealed himself from the shadows, showing very little emotion. “And our supposed ally?†The robot spoke. “Where is he?†“Still proving useful.†A fourth voice spoke. Through the marble archway walked a gigantic man, his eyes partially glazed as they looked between the three other beings in the room. “For now.†He finished. “Ah, Demon.†Darkness said, sounding oddly happy to see this man. “I’m pleased to see you made it on time for once.†“Always like to surprise you my lord, always like to surprise.†The man known as Demon said. “So what’s the unexpected meeting for?†the robot asked. “We are here to discuss the group of rebels that plague my new empire. They must be dealt with†Darkness replied. A look of confusion spread among the other participants. Demon was the first to speak. “Surely a few ordinary humans aren’t a threat to us?†he questioned. “It has changed now. He is with them.†Darkness answered, sounding uncharacteristically concerned. “Here?†the brown-haired man asked. “Calm yourself, Scope. He is here, yes. But the transfer has left him without his memories. He doesn’t know what it is that he came for, as well what has happened in recent events. If we could capture or kill him before he remembers-†Demon interrupted. “Then we can avoid any large-scale conflict, correct?†he said. Darkness just nodded, and then faded away into the shadows from which he came. The group scattered as soon has he had gone, leaving only the robot behind. Its black armoured arm rose to the side of its head as words appeared in its visual sensor. ‘Mission: Eliminate rebels. Eliminate allies if necessary’ It spoke with a single toned voice as it nodded. “Mission confirmed, no-one gets in my way.†……… Spoiler: Chapter 3 ……… The white walls of the circular room were suddenly alive with neon coloured lines. Jay stood in the centre, awaiting the first training exercise. “Alright, let’s see what you can do.†Ethan’s voice came over the comm. system. A group of these lines formed together and formed a wire-frame figure of a human. It unsheathed a sword, also made of the lines, and approached. “Don’t worry, the room has a special shield that prevents injury. Something that would normally kill you will only render you unconscious.†Ethan said confidently. “Although it would still be best to win, those things can give you a nasty shock if they get you.†“Alright, I’ll give it a shot.†Jay said, with a slight aire of confidence about him. “For this trial, imagine you’ve been surprised by it, without your weapon. When I did this trial the first time, I tried to take its weapon. It worked but I still failed, what will you try?†Ethan said again. His words were doing little to help Jay’s confidence. The enemy raised its weapon. “Begin!†The blade swung down, narrowly missing Jay’s left foot. Jay threw a punch at it, staggering it slightly. This didn’t last long as it soon recovered and took another swing, this time hitting him square on the right shoulder. “Gah!†Jay clutched his shoulder. “Those things hurt!†The enemy again raised its sword, preparing to strike. Jay instinctively grabbed the weapon and pushed it back. The enemy, unprepared for such a manoeuvre, swung its arms further back, impaling itself from behind. As it let go of its weapon, Jay jumped over its head and thrusted quickly with his right leg. The sole of his boot hit the swords hilt, propelling it harshly through the enemy’s body. The entire room was filled with a robotic-sounding scream as the enemy divided back into the neon green lines of light, and returned to the walls. There was a moment of pause, and for a second Jay thought he had made a mistake. “Well done.†Hannah’s voice finally echoed over the comm. “Join us in the lobby when you’re done cooling off.†……… “That was the first time it’s been done!†Ethan roared. “The kid did it the first time!†Derek stood up from his seat. Amy gasped. Even Swift turned around to check Ethan’s expression. “In all seven years of being here, there’s never been anyone that could do that test the first time. It took me until my third.†Swift said, still revealing no emotion. “He did.†Hannah said sternly. Derek rose from his seat and looked through the glass in the door leading to the practise room. “That kid sure is something…†He said. “Ethan, bring up the statistics of the fight†Hannah quickly said. Ethan did as instructed and brought a screen down, which featured the statistics of the fight Jay just had. Derek turned and looked at it for a moment. He reeled back in shock. He raised an arm to point at the screen. “Th-that’s impossible!†he stuttered. “He’s…†“Quiet, here he comes!†Ethan said excitedly, returning the screen back to its original position. ……… Spoiler: Chapter 4 ……… Two weeks after Jay’s first training session, Derek made everyone join him in the briefing room. After some initial difficulty finding it, Jay joined them and purposely sat down next to Amy. Derek looked around, nodded to himself and then began to explain what he wanted. “Alright, so you guys have all seen the huge tower on the outskirts, right?†Derek asked. Everyone nodded slightly. “Good. But what we didn’t know is that it’s actually one of the main facilities where Darkness gets his soldiers. We don’t know where they’re being recruited from, but we do know that taking it out will slow him down.†“Then that’s where we’ll come in.†Hannah interrupted, standing up. “We’re gonna meet up with the second team and make a nice crater.†“Team 2?†Jay asked suddenly. “For most of our missions we need to do two things at once, so we’ve split into team 1, that’s us, and team 2. Team 2 consists of Ethan’s two sisters, Aria and Ruri, a guy called Ratud Traya and the group leader, Corona Drago.†Amy explained. “Aria and Ruri specialise in team tactics, Ratud seems to be incredibly lucky when things go badly, and Corona is our special operations and demolitions expert.†Hannah finished. She quickly headed over to a console against the wall and pressed a green button on the top. “Alright, we’ll move out in one hour. Make sure you have everything you need and wait at the main entrance. As usual, we’re only going to have one chance at this.†Hannah announced. “Just be careful out there.†Derek said, as everyone else began to leave the room. ……… Jay walked into his assigned room and picked up his things. Over the course of two weeks, he had gathered a few weapons and other objects that would be useful on this mission. He also had the double-sword that was given to him for training with, and he had gotten quite good with it. He stopped for a moment, the fact finally got him; this would be his first time where he might need it outside of training. “I’d better make sure I don’t let anyone down†He said to himself, before picking up the bag of things he would need and heading for the main entrance. When Jay got there, only Swift was waiting for him. He looked around for the others before Swift explained. “They already left; I’m only here to lead you there.†He said, with a slight hint of annoyance in his voice. “They left already? Why?†Jay asked. “Because, although you may think otherwise, you are late.†He said, very sternly. Jay didn’t understand, he had taken less than five minutes to prepare himself, Hannah had said they had an hour. He was about to voice this when Swift interrupted his thoughts. “We need to get this done as soon as possible, everyone was ready other than you, and with the others there, one extra person is hardly a necessary asset. Now, if you’re ready, we’re going.†He said. Jay nodded and followed as Swift opened the main gate, and it was then that Jay saw for himself what the world had been reduced to. His immediate thought was that he was too late, although he instantly realised he had no idea what he meant by that. He stopped and looked up at the buildings that he could visualise as being a beautiful sight against the sky, now grey and red with what was quite obviously human blood. Jay couldn’t believe how bad it was. He wondered just how he had missed the horror of the city when he had been led from the first shelter. He was about to ask Swift about what had happened, when an unfamiliar voice spoke out. “First sight of the outside world huh? I reacted just the same.†It said. “Corona. It’s been a while.†Swift said, as the young woman stepped out from behind a building nearby. “It really has, hasn’t it! I remember the last time we teamed up, which isn’t really surprising since that was my first time with any of you guys!†She said, laughing slightly to herself. “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be with everyone else?†Swift replied, although he didn’t seem to really mind her being here instead. “I heard you had a rookie with you, so I came to say hi.†Corona said, her short hair seemed to shudder slightly as the wind changed direction. “Well, as much as I’d like to, we can’t just stand here all day. Let’s get going.†Swift looked back at Jay. “Stay close.†“Uh, yes sir.†Jay said, purely by accident. Corona just giggled quietly to herself. “Alright, we should be there in ten minutes, providing we don’t get slowed down.†Swift said. “Let’s get moving.†The outline of a tall building, completely unscathed by anything, stood clear against the horizon. Jay kept up with Swift to the best of his ability, with Corona easily staying at Swifts side. She slowed down slightly, allowing Jay to catch up with her. Looking at him for a moment, she motioned towards Swift. “You’ll have to forgive him for being like he is. He doesn’t know how to behave around friends.†She said. “Yeah, I noticed.†Jay replied, “What’s his problem anyway?†Corona looked at Jay, and then at Swift, who was getting closer to the building faster than they were, but not by much. “He’s hunting down one of Darkness’ generals. A man they say is stronger than Darkness himself.†She answered. “But why?†Jay questioned again. “Why would anyone go out of their way to find someone who is less than Darkness in rank?†“I don’t know.†Corona confessed. “And he tells me everything else. I think it must be really deep for him to behave the way he does.†“We’re here.†Swift called to them both. At the side of the insanely tall structure was Ethan, and two young girls who Jay could only assume were the twins. Ethan was talking to Swift, and one of the young girls was likewise talking to Corona. Jay was approached by the other young girl. She looked quizzically at him. “Who the hell are you?†She asked quickly. Swift, who had finished talking to Ethan, turned towards them. “New guy. Introduce yourself if you like.†He said, sarcastically. The girl faced Jay again. “I’m Aria. The girl over there is my sister, Ruri and you already know Corona I guess.†Ethan walked over to Jay. “Don’t take so long on your next assignment, Han gets impatient quickly.†He said, “Alright, in any case let me fill you in. Everyone is on separate floors of this building, placing high explosives in critical points in the structure. Ratud and Han are in the underground levels, and neither of them are responding on the com. We’d like you to go down there and let them know that the other charges are set.†Jay nodded at him and Corona pointed out a set of stairs on the outside of the building that looked like it led to the understructure of the building. Jay slowly walked down the stairs, soon reaching the bottom of the set. He soon located another staircase, heading further down, and descended down them into the pitch-blackness of the underground section. The stairs went down further than he expected. Jay was sure he had taken at least one-hundred steps so far, and there didn’t appear to be an end anytime soon. The curve finally became obvious, the staircase was spiralling downwards. “No wonder they’re not responding, they probably couldn’t see the com, never mind answer it.†He said to himself. Suddenly, Jay heard an odd noise coming from below him. He broke into a run, taking two or three steps at a time before arriving on what he hoped was the only underground floor. He began to hear strange moaning noises, like someone having a horrible nightmare. He looked around for a moment, before remembering his weapon. Taking it from his back, he activated the orange flow of energy, lighting a good part of the area around him. He instantly saw a gruesome face in the light which, after making Jay fall back, disappeared. Jay saw no sign of any movement, so he nodded to himself, deciding it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. He got back to his feet, and slowly moved his blade from side to side, shining the light all around. He saw a shape in the shadows, nothing like what he had just seen, but like a foot. Then he saw the person it was attached to. “Hannah!†Jay exclaimed, raising her to her feet. Hannah moaned a little. She was uneasy on her feet, and had a slight bloodstain on her face. Nevertheless, she seemed okay. “Jay? Never been more glad to see someone late than now.†She said, with a strange sense of fear in her voice. “What happened to you?†Jay asked her, noting the bloodstain on her face. She shivered a little. “Something was hiding, it was in the shadows. It was hideous, but at the same time it looked human.†She said, sounding oddly fearful. Jay was reminded of the face he saw when he entered. Had he seen it too? Then he remembered his full objective. “Where’s Ratud?†He asked her quickly, sounding almost uncaring but also determined. “He went further down, I think he might be in trouble, I heard him saying something on the com and then he stopped in mid-sentence.†She explained. She was sounding more and more afraid. Jay noted a pair of metal doors that looked like they could be doors of an elevator. Slowly and cautiously, he entered it and, upon pressing a button with a downward arrow, began descending further underground... Spoiler: Chapter 5 As the steel doors screeched open upon stopping, Jay couldn’t help but feel that something was different. He stepped out, and immediate saw just how different the underground section was. Gigantic metal columns held up the ceiling, which looked as if it was miles away from the mesh-wire balcony that Jay stood on now. The sounds of gushing steam and metal hitting metal filled the entire underground factory that was hidden below the skyscraper. Jay looked over the side of the platform and saw huge conveyor belts moving chunks of metal towards two robotic ‘arms’ that proceeded to weld, cut and clip these pieces together, with small, black, robotic soldiers being the end product. Jay stared intently as what appeared to be an entire platoon of these creations were placed onto a low-sided lift, and ascended upwards towards the surface. It was then that Jay realised a horrible truth. Detonating the building above would cause no damage to the underground structure; only quicken the soldier’s exits. He reached for his hand-held radio to tell the others, but then remembered that there was no signal this far below the ground. He sighed, and then walked further along the balcony, trying to find something he could do. He suddenly remembered Ratud, and looked around for any sign of him. Aside from what appeared to be a control console, he could see no sign of anything. He walked up to the console, and looked it over a few times. He saw that there was a single button that looked important, a large circular button with a red X painted onto it. Without hesitation, he pressed his palm onto this button. As the button depressed, a long, horrible, scraping sound echoed around him. He looked over the edge again, and this time saw the conveyors were no longer moving. Then, another scraping sound made him turn his head towards the elevator he had seen just a moment before. It was descending again, rapidly. It hit the ground with a heavy crashing sound, spewing dust and incomplete robots all around the building. Jay smiled for a second, thinking that he had just disabled an entire factory single-handed. His smile faded as hundreds of deep, red shapes appeared from the dust. Although the factory had indeed taken some damage, it had also activated the surviving metal soldiers. Their heads jerked upwards, looking directly into Jays eyes, which were now filled with far. The robots raised a previously unseen rifle, and a blue dot appeared on each one’s weapon. Jay spun around, facing the elevator that he had used to descend to this level, and saw that it was no longer on the same floor that he was. He was trapped. ……… The peak of the factory skyscraper was quiet. The flat, open surface was a welcome change to the rocks and chasms in the mountains above. A single, thin staircase led from the building to its rooftop, and four tall towers stood like silent sentries on the corners. Ratud had not gone further underground; he had gone further up the skyscraper. He stood, quiet as the four towers, and looked down off the side. He could see the tiny dots that were his comrades. Suddenly the silence was broken by the sound of footsteps. As the footstep grew closer, Ratud turned to see the source of this noise. Swift approached the newcomer to the group and, upon arriving at his side, said four simple words. “I don’t trust you.†He said. By the time Ratud had turned again to reply, Swift was gone again. The young man turned to face the edge of the building again, and couldn’t help wondering if Swift had really been there. ……… Ugh, I hate my old writting style. -.- I have more to post, but I don't really want to send it out all in one go just yet. Still... comments and critisism, as well as everything else, are all welcome.

[video=youtube;SWkLjXYWgbc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWkLjXYWgbc[/video] Suddenly Silent Hill makes more sense.
Source While revealing literally nothing about the games themselves, Masuda's statement is the very first confirmation that Ruby & Sapphire Gen V remakes will happen. I expect that this announcement will be met with mixed results, what with Gen III claimed by some to be when the series jumped the shark, but personally I'm glad for the confirmation.
With the assumption that at least some of you believe in spirits and such, I ask; do any of you have any personal experiences with ghosts, or other spectral entities? Whether they're your own experiences or those of somebody you know, they're equally acceptable. I'll start with something of my own: In the basement of my workplace there's a bricked-up doorway that leads even further down, into the underground cave network that my city happens to be built on. Now, the brickwork has a hole through it, just large enough to look through, but not enough to see very far, so we at least know that it does lead into those caves. Now, that might not be entirely relevant, since we have no idea where or when the ghost may be from, but it at least sets the scene a little. Various things have happened throughout the year that the store has been open. Just minor things really, nothing worth mentioning. Except for recently. Thing is; these 'not-worth-mentioning things' always happened downstairs, in the basement, or occasionally on the ground floor. But there's also a first floor, where a lot of things are stored, and where most of the staff-only areas are. The manager, who isn't the type to be easily scared, went to check the entire store with a co-worker near closing time, just the other day. Things went perfectly fine, as normal, and she told the co-worker that she'd carry on alone while the co-worker finished what they had to do on the ground floor. Going upstairs, checking every room, no problems at all. Got to the electrical room, checked it, it was fine, and turned out the lights before turning to leave. And that's when she heard a sound; like four almost snarl-like breaths, and then silence again. As one would, she thought nothing of it at first, just had another quick check to see if she'd knocked anything; she hadn't. Turned to leave again, and it happened again; that same sound. She checked everything nearby to her to see what sound it made when knocked, and nothing made a sound anything like it. She quickly decided that she was getting out of there and giving up on doing the check alone, waiting for the co-worker to finish before they continued. While that may not sound like much on its own, that same sound was heard just the very next day, in a completely different room (still on the first floor), and still with no possible source, by somebody else. Add to that the chiming of china mugs that he heard while completely alone in the building, and there's definitely something going on.
Everybody has their own methods of typing, presentation, colour preferences, and more, which are visable to others when they observe your posts. But what about the non-visible aspects to your posting? Specifically, time. My query here is this; how much time, on average, do you spend writing out a single post? How long do you think should be spent on posts? Is there an optimum amount of time? Do you often have issues with others posting during the time you writing out your own post? Anything else not mentioned relating to the time spent on posts or on the creation of RPs is equally valid here.
What's the first thing you do?
I'm not normally very emotional about works of fiction, but the ending just got me. :cryinganime: It was... beautiful...
Link to the the ooc thread here. Rules and description can be found at the ooc thread. Please leave all applications, discussions, questions, and large ooc notes there. Smaller ooc notes are fine here. For Official characters; you are allowed to post videos here alongside your post (in spoiler tags please!), so long as they are directly related to the content of the post (such as combining sequences or finishing moves). Musical tracks are also permitted by both Official and Original characters, so long as is appropriate for the moment and only done infrequently. Enjoy~! ~~~~~ The streets of the peaceful, cultured city were quiet, occupied only by a steady-paced convoy of unmarked trucks, which cruised down the otherwise unoccupied highway at a regulated speed, all seemingly in synch with one another. They drew little attention, so little that anybody watching would instantly be alerted to the strangeness of their movements, and how unnaturally they seemed to match one anothers speed perfectly. Each of them were identical to the next, with not even a single marking there to distinguish them from one another, none of them having even a single dent or unclean spot on their surface. Their journey down those long, open highways simply continued, ignoring the existence of any and all other existences on their path. Indeed, these vehicles were quite suspicious.
Link to the RP thread here. ~~~ There are many universes in existence, each of them unique, and each of them with their own story. A great hero could die in one reality, yet live as a villain in another. A man could be a legend in one, yet be completely unknown in another. The possibilities are endless. This is just one of those universes. The world we live on is incredibly diverse. A Rainforest can survive next to a harsh desert, which in turn can border along an ocean. The Earth is almost perfect; having natural resources to spare, and a stable atmosphere with little chance of change. It is no wonder then that countless invaders and tyrants vie for it. But invaders, tyrants, all villains are opposed, and it is those heroes that our story will follow. ~~~ This is an RP that takes inspiration from the crossover series ‘Super Robot Taisen’. The series features Mecha and their pilots from various series’, as well as original characters, and has their respective plotlines feature alongside one another. Scenes such as Getter Robo fighting alongside Gurren-Lagann are commonplace. This RP will not follow any of the Super Robot Taisen storylines. It exists within its own continuity, meaning that both official characters and your own will be available. Each character will have their own Mecha, which will have its own name and abilities. Some characters may actually be their own Mecha, such as sentient robots. You do not need to know anything about any Mecha series to take part. Regarding the Setting Everyone has always lived on the same planet, but their own 'worlds' are instead just different regions on the planet. OC's can be from anywhere, and official characters will be from an area that mostly resembles their world the way it was in the source material (Gurren-Lagann's would be mostly barren, for example.) I'm going to advise people to have official characters stories either just starting out, or starting from the beginning at a point where an Arc begins. (E.g. Gurren-Lagann could be brought in from pre- or post-timeskip with no problems) But that's not set in stone; anyone can be half-way through a fight when they're introduced, I'm fine with that too if they really want to. The idea is to leave room for character development and upgrades however. Regarding Characters There are two types of characters, Original and Official, which should be self-explanatory. There will be plenty of times when people have to be outside of their mechas, so it'd be a good idea to have somebody human or at least human-sized, though I won't stop anyone who wants to be different (E.g. a Transformer, where they technically are their own mecha) Since a lot of background characters simply won't be there, other characters in the story will have to fill those roles (E.g. Non-pilot love interests), however characters or machines that combine with the base Mecha will be counted as equipment rather than a separate character (E.g. Goldymarg from GaoGaiGar, who becomes the Goldion Hammer finishing move). Size of the mecha isn't really an issue. No matter what, there will be enemies tough enough that size will hardly matter at all. Two pilots can be assigned to the same mecha as a single character/mecha combo, but only if the mecha itself would normally allow it. (E.g. Gurren-Lagann can have two pilots, but Eva 01 cannot) If you want an OC to have a co-pilot, just do it, but they would also have to be an OC. About Mission Control Many organised pilots have their own Mission Control, a person or group of people that offer advice and perform duties other than piloting in order to help, such as Gusty Galaxy Guard (GGG). Some of these characters are related to the plotline, such as Kotaro Taiga, but others may not be despite still being needed to exist. For the sake of convenience, anyone is able to take control a minor Staff Member when one needs to exists, so long as it is not breaking the rules. The plot will begin following characters original plotlines, but with the other player characters stories running alongside it. Eventually an original plot will take root, bringing with it new challenges and depths that will require teamwork and determination from your characters. Bare in mind that this while this RP will undoubtedly include a high level of combat, that is not its focus. The characters, how they interact with one another, and solving the plot that will take route is. Rules Spoiler 1. No Godmodding or Powerplaying, though sometimes I may have to for plot purposes. Sometimes I will ask somebody else to do so too. 2. You may now have as many characters as you wish, whether Staff or Pilot, but ensure to keep track of them. 3. Obey the site rules as well as mine. 4. Be available to contact outside of the RP threads. Sometimes I will need to tell a specific person to do something without alerting others. Make sure there’s some way I can do. 5. Romance is allowed, but let’s try to keep it appropriate. PG-16 at the most. Kissing is fine, and some implication of going further is fine, but keep it clean. 6. 20-words minimum on all posts. If you can’t think of much to say, add details about what you have said or done. 7. Grammar, punctuation and spelling are all somewhat important. Spelling mistakes are fine, but keep yourself understandable in order to avoid confusion. 8. I am in charge of this RP. If you disagree with a decision I make, I will be willing to discuss it via PM, but do not cause an argument. 9. Write ‘Taisen’ somewhere within your post as proof you have read all of the rules. 10. With the permission of the owning RPer, a character is able to use another character's Mecha instead of their own for a brief time (unless there is some kind of physical restriction preventing them from piloting it). Staff characters are also able to do this, with the same rules. 11. If you are going to be unable to post for an extended amount of time, let me know. If somebody falls too far behind without prior warning, it will interfere with other members ability to post, which is unfair.

Bit also has great eyesight, being able to distinguish a Zoid from two miles away. Weapons: None. Personality: Happy, fun-loving, and rarely sad. Bit is extremely loyal to his friends, risking his life to protect them. Paired with: Liger Zero (Jager/Panzer/Schneider) Bio: Bit had a relatively boring childhood, so boring, in fact, that he never talks about it simply because 'there's nothing to talk about.' As a young teenager, he became a junk dealer, buying and selling Zoid parts. He one day wandered into a battle field where his truck caused a Zoid from one of the teams, Blitz Team, to trip, causing them to lose the battle. Feeling apologetic for their loss, he ventured into their hangar to apologize, but the angry pilots tied him up with Liger Zero, a sentient Zoid that refused to let anybody pilot it. Strangely enough, Liger Zero freed Bit and let him board it. The Blitz Team offered Bit a position in their roster, which he instantly took. He soon became their star pilot. With the Blitz Team, and their tactician and other pilot, Jamie Hemeros, Bit placed high in the Zoid Battle Commission Tournament and defeated the evil Backdraft group. After the tournament (I.E., for this RP), the Blitz Team broke up in good grace, each to hone their skills and accomplish personal goals. Bit and Jamie kept the name of the Blitz Team and travel together, along with their newest recruit, "Kara," to battle all of the Zoids they can become better pilots. Other information: Wiki Link Spoiler: Liger Zero Username: Webhead Mecha name: Liger Zero (Jager)/(Schneider)/(Panzer) Appearance: Liger Zero, Jager, Schneider, Panzer. Abilities: Liger Zero's main weapon in his default form is his Strike Laser Claw, a strong physical attack capable of ripping through armor. Both Panzer and Jager forms have this ability. Liger Zero is known for his agility as well. Liger Zero also has a dual-barreled Shock Cannon, for distance shooting. Liger Zero's most useful ability is his Changing Armor System, allowing the Zoid to change his armor with either his Jager, Schneider, or Panzer's armor. Each armor gives him a different specialty. Liger Zero Jager = This blue armor greatly increases Liger Zero's speed and maneuverability, with two large Ion boosters on his back. It has mini guns attached to its face and retains his Strike Laser Claw and Shock Cannon. Unfortunately, it is lightly armored and can't take much damage. Liger Zero Schneider = Though unable to use Strike Laser Claw, the orange Schneider's armor comes with seven laser blades, allowing the Schneider to cut through almost anything. It has improved speed and acceleration. Schneider is able to aim either 5 or all 7 of his blades forward for its strongest attacks though the Seven Blade Attack damages the armor. Liger Zero Panzer = The green Panzer armor is a living tank. Though its maneuverability and agility is highly decreased, Panzer is made for heavy-artillery. It comes with a great number of missiles and two powerful Hybrids Cannon. It's wrapped in thick armor that offers great protection. Weapons: Look at the above slot. Paired with: Bit Cloud Bio: Liger Zero is an Ultimate X Zoid, given such a great artificial intelligence that it learns during battle and has its own personality. It was found by the Blitz Team's leader who saw its rarity, but it gathered dust for years since it wouldn't let anyone pilot it. However, for an unknown reason, it allows Bit to pilot it. Other information: Click here for Liger Zero's Changing Armor System. Liger Zero Wiki Link Spoiler: Jamie Hemeros Username: Webhead Pilot Name: Jamie "Jimmy" Hemeros Appearance: Spoiler Series: Zoids: New Century/Zero Age: 14 Sex: Male Abilities: Jamie is young and lacks developed skills. When piloting Zoids, he usually provides tactical information, rather than directly partake in combat. Until obtaining the Raynos, Jamie had never flown beyond the speed of sound, and in the battles he does partake in, he is usually quickly shot down. After he becomes the Wild Eagle for the first time, his skills increase greatly and he becomes more confident. When piloting as the Wild Eagle, he an incredibly successful pilot, defeating several elite Backdraft solders, even when outnumbered or outgunned. However, "the Wild Eagle" is much more arrogant and reckless than Jamie, and in the latter episodes, this leads to him being caught off-guard and defeated on several occasions. Weapons: None Personality: Jamie has two personalities. His default "Jimmy" personality is timid, quiet, but intelligent. He loves his Zoid and spends a lot of time polishing it. He's used to being ignored, especially when he's giving tactical advice. When traveling at high enough speeds, Jimmy becomes the Wild Eagle, a more arrogant, but highly skilled pilot. He blacks out when he becomes the Wild Eagle and usually doesn't remember what happens when he's blacked out. Paired with: Raynos Bio: Jimmy's father, the first "Wild Eagle," was a Raynos pilot until an accident caused him his pinky. Jimmy was taken in by the head of the Blitz Team as a backup pilot and tactician. When his first Zoid was traded away for a Raynos without his consent, Jimmy was lost since he was too scared to use the Raynos' high speed capabilities. However, the day came when he did and he broke the sound barrier, becoming the second Wild Eagle. After the Blitz Team split up, Jimmy joined with Bit to keep the Blitz Team name and become a great pilot in his own right, without having to rely on the Wild Eagle. Other information: Wiki Link. Even though his name is Jamie, it was pronounced "Jimmy" in some dubs so I'll use Jimmy as a nickname and that's what I'll call him. Jimmy also functions as the main staff, despite his age, along with Kara. Spoiler: Raynos Username: Webhead Mecha name: Raynos Appearance: Click here Abilities: Using its extreme aerodynamic...ness, the Raynos can break the sound barrier, however, this makes it incredible difficult to fly. Weapons: Storm Claws, Spike Claw, 3-Barrel Beam Cannon, and a Vulcan Cannon system.

Click here for her Mecha form Abilities: As Kara, she is able to transform her feet and left arm into their Mecha forms, allowing her to fly and shoot laser beams. She also has super strength. She has the ability to transform to a gundam-sized Mecha with the same abilities. Personality: Kara struggles with her "programmed" personality, that of an emotionless, technical, and cold robot, and the personality she's trying to gain as a person. Organisation: Blitz Team Bio: Kara was built by an evil scientist as both a weapon and an assistant. He programmed her to be emotionless and called her an assisting automaton as opposed to an automated assistant to emphasize that she was a robot built to assist, not an assistant who happened to be a robot. The authorities soon found the scientist's hidden lab and attempted to arrest him, but he fought back using his inventions. KARA was his trump card. He used her Mecha form to fight back, but he was killed in the chaos. Without anyone to cancel her order, KARA continued to fight the authorities, eventually taking flight. She was chased by jets, who managed to shoot her mecha form down. She crashed and went offline, reverting to her human appearance. She wasn't found, due to the fact that the authorities were looking for a giant mecha, for years. Jimmy and Bit stumbled upon her and she awoke, with no memory of her past, save for the acroynym given to her as a name. Bit invited her to join Blitz Team. It wasn't long before she realized she could transform into a mecha. Realizing she wasn't a Zoid, Bit and Jimmy decided to keep it a secret from everyone else and made her their official staff. Other information: Her "uniform" is part of her body, built onto her. She pilots the Hover Cargo when Jimmy isn't around. The Hover Cargo serves as both a home to the Blitz Team and a garage for their Zoids.

Of course, dreaming of being a pilot and actually becoming one are two entirely different things, as she soon finds out upon reaching the city. Even after landing a somewhat dead-end job as a waitress in one of the city's bars, Nono stubbornly holds on to her ideals, despite the chiding of her boss and the bar's regular patrons.

It always appears as GoJyuDrill when summoned as this lets it hide inside time. It can also use the powers of Super Sentai Sixth Rangers for finishing moves and other effects, such as new forms. Weapons: A drill that is either on the front of itself (GoJyuDrill), a drill for a tail (GoJyuRex) or a drill for an arm (GoJyuJin).

As GoJyuJin it has the Rex head as it's other arm which can be used for biting attacks. As GoJyuJin, it can use finishing moves with Ranger Keys being inserted inside the cockpit. With the default three keys (TimeFire, DragonRanger and AbareKiller) it can project GoJyuDrill and GoJyuRex beside it and do a triple drill attack that produces a spiraling projectile of energy. Paired with: Gai Ikari Bio: It was created by the spirits of AbareKiller, DragonRanger and TimeFire but they decided to let Gai figure out how to use it for himself meaning it still has many secrets.

Weapons: The core drill around his neck if that counts. Personality: Unsure, timid, easily inspired. (This later changes drastically) Paired with: Lagann, Gurren Lagann (with Kamina and Gurren) Bio: As a boy, Simon is physically underdeveloped for his age, standing at little more than 4-feet tall. He wears a long sleeved blue and red jacket and short brown pants, topped with a pair of yellow and red goggles and brown work shoes. He has indigo hair and wide eyes with small pupils, and his iris color was eventually revealed to be an almost the same color as his hair. Simon also ties on shin splits and sports a cloth waistband, and the Core Drill hangs from a fastened leather string around his neck. Originally, Simon wore a dusty brown cloak, which eased his passage through the narrow tunnels of the underground, but this cloak was blown off by the wind during the initial escape from Giha Village. Though valued as one of the most skilled diggers in Giha Village, Simon is ignored by the adults and snubbed by the girls, who consider him disgusting because of his peculiar habits and odd smell. Lacking parental figures to help him mature, along with his fear of earthquakes, Simon is plagued by low self-esteem and has many cowardly tendencies. Even after his friendship with Kamina, he continues to act cowardly and doubts his own abilities. However, Kamina's inspirational speeches gives Simon just enough confidence to endure his fears and to accomplish something. Other information: Simon and Kamina count as co-pilots and therefore only take one character slot. Spoiler: Kamina Username: DarkTraitor Pilot Name: Kamina Appearance: Spoiler: The manliest man alive!

Weapons: A badass long Katana. Personality: Loud, confident, badass, fatherly, caring, ham. Paired with: Gurren, Gurren Lagann (With Simon and Lagann) Bio: a young man from Giha, a subterranean village, who dreams of leaving the underground and going to the surface, a place which he alone believes he saw as a child. Possessing a seemingly arrogant personality, Kamina is very passionate about his goals and will pursue them without a trace of fear, hesitation, or sometimes sense. This attitude often manifests itself in dramatic speeches which have the power to rally all those who hear them to his call. As his first act of notoriety, Kamina forms "Team Gurren" and convinces his "soul-brother," Simon, to help him with his plan to drill through the roof of the village and get to the world above. However, the plan fails. Kamina willingly takes the blame for disrupting the peace and is jailed by the village chief. At night, Simon breaks him out to show him an extraordinary artifact he unearthed, only to be interrupted by a large Gunmen that crashes through the village's ceiling. A young girl sharpshooter named "Yoko" descends from the surface and ends up joining Kamina and Simon as they pilot the newly unearthed Gunmen Kamina names "Lagann". Together, they defeat the invading Gunmen and reach the surface in the process. After the trio breaks through, they meet many enemies and friends as they continue forward. The once two-member "Team Gurren" expands to the size of an entire resistance force aiming to overthrow the Beastman Empire. Kamina leads this force and names it "Team Dai-Gurren". Other information: Simon and Kamina count as co-pilots and therefore only take one character slot.

It was once rumoured that Gendo had approached Yui for nothing but her talent and her affiliation with Seele, but it seems that he truly loved her. Though he appears cold and distant, Gendo's primary motivation is in fact love: his goal in working on the Human Instrumentality Project is to reunite with his beloved wife, even if it means hijacking Seele’s plans.

Carlos was originally one of red jack Ryan's "anti-mech" warriors, little more than desperate men with rags and outdated rocket launchers, who were thrown at Ryan's enemies enmasse to "soften up" enemy mechs. That was until the forces of the Wolf clan came and slaughtered Ryan's pirates and enslaved any who survived the intial blitz. Initially, Carlos took this turn of fate in stride after all one master was as bad as the next. His time as a Wolf clan bondsman changed those thoughts and eventually the young man began to take the clan's ways as his own, though the cowardly streak that had been beaten into him during his days with the Red Jack pirates was something that not even the clan could completely purge from him. Under the tutelage of his mentor Natasha Kerensky he learned how to turn this fear into cautious cunning, and eventually became a mechwarrior respected for being able to take down much heavier and much more powerful mechs with his hit and run style of combat. During a skirmish above the Earth's atmosphere the Skeeter was caught in a explosion that sent it plummetting towards the Earth. By pure chance a random comet flew beneath the falling mech shielding it from the worst of th re-entry. While lucky to survive both Carlos and his mech are in bad shape. Other information: Carlos is a rather ardent and talented gardener. During his initial period with the cwolf clan he was assigned to their agro-facillities as "obedience training". To everyone's surprise he naturally took to the task, and has kept a micro-garden in is quarters ever since. Spoiler: Skeeter Username: Longn4 Mecha name: Skeeter Appearance: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/images/f/f2/Packhunter.gif Abilities: While lightly armored the Skeeter can use its agility and high performance jump-jets to evade enemy attacks, and the enemy all together if need be. A integrated ECM suite is capable of intercepting or scrambling hosstile communications and detection systems, while the mech's own advanced comm system allow it to serve as a spotter for artillery. Weapons: The production model came fresh out of the factory with an integrated extended range particle projection cannon, which is capable of sending electrified blasts of plasma from a longe range. The reinforced endo-steel claws that tip the packhunter's hands are useful for ripping away armor plates and gouging out exposed components. Carlos added a wrist mounted flame thrower which is fed directly by the mech's fusion reactor, and has installed a small laser cannon into the Skeeter's chest as an emergency ranged weapon. Paired with: Carlos Pham von Heinrich Bio: A customized Packhunter. About a ton of armor was stripped off of the already fragile mech to make room for all of the technolgical goodies and gadgets Carlos had installed to make it more suited to his piloting style.

Paired with: Rei Ayanami Bio: As is the case for all the Evangelions, except Eva-01, the method of Eva-00's creation is not known. It is known, however, that she was the first working prototype after many failures. Whether the creation process was perfected with Eva-00, or if something new was tried would be pure conjecture. Although Eva-00 was the first working Evangelion out of a very long line of failed prototypes, it was not the first Evangelion to engage in combat with an Angel. That honor belongs to Eva-01. Eva-00 went berserk during an activation test 21 days before the Fourth Angel, Sachiel, arrived. During the incident the entry plug was ejected, possibly by the Eva itself, resulting in serious injuries to the pilot, Rei Ayanami.

Also since her parents where always off doing there own thing Miranda was often left alone to take care of the family's lodging and occasionally one of her parents if they ever got injured in their work this led to her developing a patient and nurturing personality. Eventually this roaming lifestyle came to an end as both of her parents passed away due to natural causes, however before they passed her parents left Miranda with two things. Her father left behind a ancient scroll containing the teachings of his clan and with that his title as the defender of the STATES! Her mother on the other hand taught the young woman the art of fireworks giving the Miranda a means of feeding herself, and bringing joy to those she protected.

She found the rebellion, but realized that they had been framed. So she joined them, and was trained in combat and technology until she was fifteen, when she was accused of being a spy for the government and murdering her mentor, whomshe respected and regarded as a father. She escaped their base by stealing one of their planes, and lived on the lam for three years, hunted by the governmet for her dealings with the rebellion, and hunted by the rebellion for murder and spying. She then started customizing the stolen plane to make a Mecha, stealing whatever she needed to complete it. She made quite a reputation for herself as a villian and a doublecrosser, and came to be the most feared individual in the country, until she finally finished her Mecha and decided to leave in search of a better life.

Abilities: Can withstand inordinate amounts of heat, and can use it's fists to bore through ground, making tunnels in the earth. It aso can fly. Weapons: Usually is just manipulated to fight like the pilot, but sometimes is turned on autopilot, in which case it is programmed with basic attack skills, utilizing its large hands to deal damage to its foes. Paired with: Pamela Peters Bio: Invented by Pamela when she was fifteen, Stone Heart was created out of a stolen plane and anything else she could get her hands on, usually anything big enough to make a good addition to him. He's made of several small planes, helicopters, cars, trucks, and even a few TVs. Eventually, Stone Heart began to show a bit of personality of his own, and sometimes causes glitches to happen to frustrate Pamela, usually jokes consisting of lying down when she wants him to fly, skipping when she wants him to run, stopping in midair when she wants him to go faster, sometimes even flying backwards.

Marida also sees herself in the ideal of misconceived notion that Newtype are to serve as weapons. Marida also seems to have a deep loathing hatred for the concept of the Gundam, as when one appears her objective changes to completely and thoroughly annihilating it.

Weapons: - 6 x Beam Saber - 2 x Beam Vulcan Gun - 24 x Funnel - 12 x Mega Particle Cannon Paired with: Marida Cruz Bio: The Kshatriya is an improved model of the NZ-000 Quin-Mantha developed by Anaheim Electronics. The Kshatriya is much smaller than the Quin-Mantha but has equal firepower. This is accomplished by the four large shoulder binders similar to that of the Quin-Mantha, each binder storing a pair of mega particle cannons, beam saber holding sub-arms and six funnels. The main body of the Kshatriya also has four mega particle cannons and two beam sabers. Also, the beam gatling gun used by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam originally belonged to the Kshatriya. Although the Kshatriya lacks the "mega particle deflection system" seen on the NZ-000, an I-field barrier generator was installed instead. Its original psycommu system was also replaced with a more effective psychoframe. Although the Kshatriya is a massive mobile suit it has fairly good mobility thanks to the thruster-mounting wing binders. The Kshatriya was stolen by remnants of Neo Zeon called "The Sleeves" and is Marida Cruz's personal unit.

Do you take the Red Pill, or the Blue Pill? Choose wisely, KH-Vids.
Let me start by making clear that my explanation is purely my point of view. It's likely that this post will show the other person, who I'll use a false name for just in case, in a negative light. That's not intentional, I'm just unable to phrase it in a neutral way. On to the actual topic. I was in a relationship years ago with somebody who wound up breaking my heart and leaving me for somebody else. Because of this, and also because of the way it was done, I fell into depression. I hid it from most people, not wanting to draw attention to it, but that turned out to be a mistake, since it wound up increasing my feelings of issolation, with which I had problems anyway. Things were getting steadily worse. Skip ahead a few months, and by sheer chance I meet somebody whom I shall call Callum. Callum and I became friends pretty much instantly, despite my usual shyness, when we discovered we had a great deal many things in common. Since this was during the Summer Holidays, we spent entire days talking and having fun. It took a while, but eventually Callum pulled me out of the majority of my depression, and while I still have bouts of it occassionally, I'm far better now than I was back then. We continued this friendship for three years, maybe longer, I lose track. We used to have arguments every once in a while, and we'd fall out for the rest of that evening, but by the next day we could fairly easily appologise to one another and carry on. Callum was literally the greatest friend I had ever had; willing to listen, a terrible sense of humour that I found funny anyway, and all round nice guy. Even after he began going to University and our time together became more limited, we remained strong friends, treating each other as though we were actually related. We were always able to talk about absolutely anything, and neither of us minded. But a short while ago, things went massively downhill. We were still great friends, but talked less and less, as he became busier and busier. Fair enough, such is how things work, we weren't letting it affect us much. We eventually had another argument, which I saw as fairly minor at the time, which ended when both of us wound up saying something fairly harsh, and Callum claimed that he no longer wanted anything to do with me, whereupon he blocked me over messenger. "Okay," I thought, "we'll spend some time apart, let ourselves cool down from it, and talk it over when we're ready, just like we always do." Apparently not, since Callum has erased every form of contact we had with each other. Facebook, Xbox Live, various websites, everything. It's never gone that far before, and since he refuses to speak to me at all, I can't explain myself or try to talk things over, like I normally would. When I last tried, it got worse, with him immedeitly being aggressive towards me despite it having been almost a week, and I ended up just having to drop it entirely. My main problem here is; I'm afraid that I've lost him forever. I don't make real friends easily, and I can often be difficult to understand since my mind tends to work strangely, but despite that Callum has been my friend no matter what for years, and always understood me. I've constantly lost decent friends over my years, but losing somebody as close to me as he... I don't think I'd be able to handle it without falling back into my depression. And while I have another close friend who is keeping me going, I can't stand the thought that I might really lose Callum forever, especially not under these circumstances. Any advice concerning what I can do will be appreciated.
Bwahahaha! You all said it could not be done, but observe! I have gained access to it! Look in awe, for I am accessing the internet of another world! And the best is yet to come; I have discovered an evil that surpasses even Dio's! FANFICTION. The internet is glorious!
Having seen Bushy-Brow-1992's (now just Bushy Brow) last two vlogs, and having found my (still charged after 2 years of disuse!) camera recently, I decided to hop on board the internet bandwagon of vlogging.

Of Essence OOC Thread is here. An old legend tells of an ancient object, called The Essence, that was created by the Gods themselves in order to house their combined power. The legend doesn't say why they did it, but it does state that the moment they brought it into existence, they regretted and fear what they had done, because anything that possessed such power would become stronger than any god, and be able to shape the world however they wished. Knowing this, they tried to destroy it, and when that failed, they instead sealed it deep within the Earth, giving the very last of their power to ensure that no life could ever reach it. Then, the Gods faded away, leaving the world and humanity to live without interference. Very few truly believe that legend as anything more than a story for children. But The Essence is real. Prologue The lantern hardly lit the cave at all, with everything more than just a few inches away completely veiled in the blackness of the underground. It felt like days had passed since the two of them had entered the cavern, when in truth it had only been a few hours. The natural twisting nature of the cavern made sure that light would not be cast far regardless, and so they pressed on slowly, as if the weight of the earth above them were bearing ever down on them. The feeling began to lift, however, when the man in front thought he could see a faint glow spattered over the cavern wall around the next corner. He handed the lantern to his companion as he strode forwards to confirm what he saw; that the hours in the darkness weren't playing tricks on him. It was then that he cracked a smile, before he even saw it. Instinctively, he knew his prize. The twisting, winding cavern had come to its end, giving way to a great, grand chamber. Any man-made attempt to create anything like it would have been an insult to the Gods themselves, he thought. "Mr. Craze, we have reached... the goal." Rhevin threw his arms out, revelling in the place's sheer existence. His grasp encompassed the whole chamber, a narrow rock walkway to the central focus, a coruscating, pulsating... thing that seemed to warp the world around it imperceptibly but undeniably. The entire area seemed to buzz with life, but it was different, unfamiliar. Rhevin took a step towards the pulsating focus of the chamber, and the buzzing became louder. With each step the sound became louder. With each step it became clearer. This was more than just a noise; there was something within it, unclear and distorted. Like the rest of the noise, it grew louder and clearer the closer Rhevin drew to the object before him. It wasn't long before the voice seemed like it was being spoken directly into his ears. "WE, THE ESSENCE, FIND YOU, RHEVIN ALASTAIR KURSE, WORTHY OF US. BUT YOUR TASK IS YET INCOMPLETE." it came, revealing something that even he hadn't predicted; The Essence itself could think! This was unprecedented... this changes everything! He turned to his companion, who hadn't moved from the entrance yet. The younger Craze boy was always difficult to read, but right now he seemed particularly strange. "Mr. Craze, I believe I'll need your assistance in relocating this object to my laboratory." Instantly, Swift's eyes flashed an even brighter yellow, and his grip on the lantern tightened. "That's not why we're here." The Auran stated, matter-of-factly. "We have to seal it away. It's too powerful to be thrown into a lab for testing!" "...Craze, you disappoint me." The huge scientist replied, his formerly-excited face now showing little but contempt. "I thought you of all people would understand what this could mean for us. A perfect, infinite energy source! Think of the possibilities!" The younger man paused for a long moment, seemingly wanting to believe Rhevin’s words. He looked down slightly, not meeting the genius's eyes. "Where ever there's power... wars will be fought over it. That's not something that'll change because we want it to." His serious voice took on an almost-pleading tone. "If we destroy it, nobody else will have to die for a fable! That's what I said before, and that's still what I believe!" Without saying a word, Kurse unsheathed the huge warsword from his back, his eyes fixated on Swift, knowing that if he wanted to take this power, Craze would have to die. Swift reacted immediately, releasing Soul, his own warsword, from its place on his back. Crystal struck steel, and then steel hit crystal, but neither gave way to the other as the two greatswords clashed time and time again. Even against an Auran, Rhevin was incredibly formidable, stopping even the strongest of blows that Swift could muster. It seemed hopeless for both sides, as the slamming of the blades against each other caused nothing but echoes in the grand chamber, doing nothing but spurring the other to continue the fight. Finally, the younger Craze gained the upper hand, if only for a moment, as his much faster reactions transformed what would have been just a dodge into the perfect opportunity to flank the much stronger combatant. Leaving nothing to chance, the young Auran forced all of his energy into his weapon as he threw it into the air, the green crystal of the weapon giving off an almost-blinding glow. Time seemed to slow down as he reached up to snatch it back from the air, swinging the blade, and the energy along with it, directly at Rhevin, who spun around just in time to intercept the blow with his own sword... The steel blade of Rhevin’s weapon shattered completely. Shards of it were scattered, flying in every direction. Rhevin himself was also launched by the sheer, absolute force of the attack, being slammed into the wall opposite and immediately losing consciousness. Swift had won. After a moment’s respite, Swift approached the center, where The Essence waited. He too heard the voice becoming louder and clearer as he approached, but unlike with Rhevin, he ignored its words, intent on destroying the object once and for all. He raised Soul above his head, ready to slash straight through it and... Nothing. The sword struck a translucent orange, crystal-like barrier that suddenly stood between him and the power’s source. The barrier hadn’t a single scratch on it, and Swift knew that this was what The Essence had meant. ‘Your task is yet incomplete’. Something would have to be done, likely outside of this chamber, in order to bring down the barrier and expose the object for either use or destruction. There was no further reason to stay in the chamber. Leaving both the unconscious Kurse and The Essence behind, Swift made his way back through the cavern, picking up the lantern on his way. He would return another time, when he had figured out just how to finish what he had begun. ~ It’s now a year after the incidence in The Essence’s chamber. Swift has been working on finding a way to break the barrier, and is close to discovering how, but news has just reached him that Rhevin is now gathering followers, determined to reach and take The Essence before anybody else can stop him. Knowing that his task has now become a race, Swift and his brother, Demon, now must recruit their own followers, or stand no chance against Rhevin’s uprising. This is where you come in. You are the recruits, of both sides. Your morals, past, and even present don’t matter, so long as you are capable and willing to help a side to reach The Essence first. The sides might have been labelled as ‘Heroes’ and ‘Villains’, but in truth it’s all about The Essence, and what you want to happen to it. Will it be destroyed, or will it be used? Rules Spoiler 1. No Godmoding or Powerplaying, though sometimes I might have to for plot purposes. Sometimes I’ll ask somebody else to do so, too. 2. Two original characters are needed to join. This is one for each side, ‘Heroes’ and ‘Villains’. This is also the limit, though temporary and minor characters do not count towards this. I also have 4 major characters, though this is strictly for plot purposes, and others may also have a third character for plot purposes, though these will be given out by me and Bushy-Brow-1992. 3. Real people can be very fickle, so your character can change sides if their opinion changes enough, though it will have to be okayed by me. For the same reasons, you do not have to stick to the personality you’ve written down 100%, as that’s mostly just so I know what to expect. 4. Obey the site rules as well as mine. Annoying players is one thing, but being kicked off the site is seriously bad. 5. Romance is allowed, but let’s try to keep it teen-ish. Let’s say PG-16. Kissing is fine, and some implication of going further is fine, but keep it mostly clean. 6. 20-words minimum on all posts. If you can’t think of much to say, add details about what you have said or done. You have two characters that can be doing separate things, so there’s really no excuse. 7. Grammar, punctuation and spelling are all important. So long as it’s understandable, it should be okay, but too many mistakes and it will look messy and unprofessional, which will make you look messy and unprofessional. Which am bad. 8. Remember, I'm in charge. Not to be harsh, but no one argues with my decisions. I will be willing to discuss things via PM, but other wise, sit back and enjoy the ride. 9. Bushy-Brow-1992 is considered a semi-mod in this RP, so he also has some power here, however... I am the one in charge, and so his decisions can be overruled by me, though that is unlikely to actually happen. 10. Write ‘cookie’ somewhere in your first post as proof that you’ve read all of the rules. Regarding OC’s Your OCs will have a trait of some sort that will attract their recruiter to them. Be this a supernatural power, exceptional skill, or something else is up to you, but make sure that the character is genuinely capable even if alone. Powers may include anything that you can think of, so long as it doesn’t break any of the previously mentioned rules. A power of any kind will need to justified, however, so ensure it’s not something completely ridiculous. Just being able to use magic requires no explanation, mages are fairly common in this word, though explaining what types of magic they can use is required. For example, if your power is to transform into a bear, why are you able to? Is it magical based, a curse perhaps, or something completely different? Remember; Alignment refers to what you want to do with the Essence, not your actual morality. Villains want to use the Essence, Heroes want it to not be used. Jerky heroes, and kind-hearted villains are both perfectly fine. Though your characters will definitely join the faction you've specified for them, they may not be part of the faction at first. The group, or somebody from it, will seek your character out to recruit them, in order to add an extra touch of realism. Unlike most rules, this is negotiable, though some characters will likely need to be recruited due to their backstory, or for other reasons. One last thing: If you want to you are permitted to make your character an Auran, capable of utilising life energy like Swift can. Should you choose to go for this, there are some things that you will need to know. - Aurans age at a slower rate than other humans, making them appear younger than they actually are. - You may have a crystal that generates life energy, as Soul does, but this isn't required. It will be smaller than a greatsword, but any size from a ring gem to a longsword is fine, and it may be any type of weapon or accessory you choose. - Aurans are able to sense other nearby Aurans. The sensitivity of this depends on the individual. - All Aurans have access to at least one demon form, but you may not have more than two (a third can be added later, if you wish). The main trait, and the appearance of the form are up to you. OC Forms: Spoiler Username: Name: Age: (Minimum of 14, with the exception of Suki Amera.) Sex: Alignment: ('Hero' or 'Villain') Appearance: (Images should be placed in spoiler tags.) Personality: (Brief overview of your characters attitude. Does not need to be stuck to 100%.) Bio: (Your characters backstory/origins.) Power/Ability: (Choose whatever, but don't godmod.) Weapon: (Optional, but useful.) Ultimate Move/Ability: (Essentially your character's Limit Break.) Other: (Any other relevant information.) Regarding the Setting This RP is set in an original universe, with an original storyline. The planet is very similar to Earth in terms of climate, but its geography is entirely different, as are the names of similar areas. While most of these places will be named by me, I am actually very poor at coming up with names and may ask a player to invent one for me at times. Several different landscapes and climates may be visited during the course of the RP, and once a major area is visited I will add a brief description of the area to the first post in order to prevent confusion. Regarding Ultimate Moves/Abilities Your ultimate ability will be unavailable at the beginning of the RP, with very few exceptions. The ability will be gained at some point throughout the story, and once gained can be used at any time. I will discuss with you when and how you obtain your ability, and this will be negotiable. However, the move or ability is not something to be used all of the time, and while I'll leave it to your own judgement as to where and when it is used, you must avoid using it in excess. Doing this is in violation of Rule 1. Races: Human: Spoiler It's fairly likely that the players in this RP are humans themselves, so little explanation should be required. While there isn't a specific statistic, certain humans may inherit the ability to control life-energy, and are named Aurans. Medusa: Spoiler Having evolved from serpents, Medusas are snakelike in both nature and personality. They have the lower torso of a snake; the abilities to hypnotize, poison, petrify, take a humanoid appearance, and unhinge their jaws. Men are rare, but not seen in their tribes. Instead, the women become pregnant by age (differs depending on the woman) and lay eggs. Medusas are able to procreate with other races, but the Medusa traits greatly diminish and becomes recessive to the other half. Half-human, half-Medusa children do not have a Medusa form with a tail or claws, but keep unnaturally-colored skin, unhingable jaws, and the ability to hypnotize. Medusas live in small tribes or clans, but are adapted to all climates. They can be found in the hottest deserts, the deepest rivers, the tallest mountains, darkest caves, or largest forests. They are gypsy-like in nature and have high mystical perception. A Medusa's bite does not petrify the entire body, only the area that was bitten. Unpetrification is a painful, but possible medical procedure. Medusas tend to torture their victims by biting separate areas of a body rapidly so the body can still move but starts to weigh too much due to the stone or by biting the joints so a victim can't move. They are rarely seen in cities or towns, but it isn't uncommon. Lycankin: Spoiler Lycankin, or "Tribesmen", are, on average, larger than humans, but not inordinately so. Their distinguishing features are animal ears and a tail, usually the same colour as their hair. They also have pronounced canine teeth and sharp claws that they tend to keep sheathed; using them as weapons is a taboo in their society. They tend to weigh more than a human of the same proportions, owing to an increased muscle mass and bone density. They usually live in tribes away from humans, but are still a common sight in towns and cities. The tribes themselves put up an uncivilised facade to stop people being nosy, but in reality they just don't want their women to all end up as maids, and all their men to end up as bouncers. Adolescents are allowed to leave their tribe permanently, and other tribes usually welcome new blood. Some, however, just end up getting lost in a city and staying there. To see a Tribesman outside their villages over the age of 30 or below the age of 15 means you've found one such person, or their offspring. This is the actual RP Thread. OOC posts should go in the OOC thread, but I will allow short OOC posts here so long as they are short and relevant to the current events. Play nice, and have fun.

Doing this is in violation of Rule 1. Accepted OCs: ‘Heroes’: Spoiler: Swift Craze Username: DarkTraitor Name: Swift Craze Age: 23 Sex: Male Alignment: Hero Leader Appearance: Spoiler Personality: Courageous, Sometimes reckless, Determined. Bio: Swift is an Auran, born with the ability to channel his own life energy into both offensive and defensive states. After losing his parents at the age of seven, Swift began hunting for the man he thought responsible, his own brother. It took twelve years, but Swift eventually caught to Demon in skill, only to find he wasn't responsible at all. He and his brother teamed up, finally avenging their parents deaths, and ending their long hatred for each other. Since then, Swift has worked alone as a moral mercenary, using his Auran abilities to protect others. After hearing that Rhevin was building a small army to take the Essence, he quickly moved to form a resistance in order to ensure that such a powerful object isn't used for the wrong reasons. Power/Ability: Can channel life energy from himself or Soul into energy-based magic. Is also capable of taking on the a weaker version of the strength Demon Form. Due to his harsh, self-imposed training, he has great reaction times. Weapon: Soul (Greatsword made from a special crystal, filled with a near-infinite amount of life energy that an Auran wielder can use instead of their own.) Ultimate Move/Ability: Aura Burst; Uses a huge amount of the life energy in Soul in order to unleash a blindingly fast flurry of physical blows. Other: Leader of the 'Heroes'. Demon Craze's brother. Spoiler: Demon Craze Username: DarkTraitor Name: Demon Craze Age: 30 Sex: Male Alignment: Hero Appearance: Spoiler Personality: Blunt, Sometimes aggressive, Protective of those close to him. Bio: Like Swift, Demon is an Auran, born with the ability to channel his own life energy into several abilities. After the death of his parents, Demon was taken in by a man who claimed to be a friend to his father. He was trained by the man for twelve years, believing Swift to be behind the death of their parents, until Swift caught up to them, and the real killer was revealed to be Demon's mentor. Having then teamed up with Swift to get revenge, their feud had finally ended. Since then, Demon has lived a quite solitary, simple life until Swift approached him recently once again, asking for his help in gathering a group to counter Rhevin's. Power/Ability: Great strength, Access to three seperate Demon forms; Strength, Agility, and Flight. Weapon: Pair of matched swords. Ultimate Move/Ability: Fused Demon Form; Exactly what it sounds like, a combination of all three Demon Forms, capable of flight, stronger than the power form and as agile as Agility form. Is also much larger and uses massively more energy than the regular forms, with Demon only capable of holding it for a few minutes at a time. Other: Swift Craze's brother, and Suki Amera's unofficially adoptive father. Spoiler: Suki Amera Username: Bushy-Brow-1992 Name: Suki Amera Age: 13 Sex: Female Alignment: Hero Appearance: Refer to Banner ----> Personality: Suki is a sensitive, caring young girl, but was always regarded as different by everyone around her and as such was often ignored like she never belonged. Because of this, she can be timid, and not too wise when it comes to people since she has essentially always been alone. She is incredibly close to Demon now however. Bio: An orphan girl who has grown up on the streets, she doesn't know to this day what happened to her parents and why she became an orphan. She had only the clothes on her back and the blue ribbon in her hair, which the only possession of her mothers she actually has. On the streets and in the orphanage, she was always regarded as being different by everyone and was often ignored like she didn't belong. Either that, or she was picked on horribly or called a freak, since something about her just emitted an overwhelming power. Having one day suffered some particular abuse and insults after she had simply used a healing spell to help one of the other Orphan's who had in turn become scared at her display of magic, Suki left the Orphanage upset... she ran at the time feeling more scared, upset and alone than ever. She was unfortunate enough though to happen across two slave traders... they saw Suki as a prize and were going to claim her for their own... Suki, was completely unable to resist... and was ready to resign herself to her sad, cruel fate. But it seems her fate was about to change as that was when she met him... Demon Craze. He quickly dealt with the two slavers, leaving them heavily beaten and barely breathing. Silently, he observed the small girl noting that something seemed different about her and sensing that she was all alone in the world. He was the first to treat Suki like a normal person... and now, she looks at him almost like a father figure. Power/Ability: Suki has a vast and surprisingly powerful control over magic. She isn't limited by type and her spells are pretty strong considering she has no former training. As such, having never had anyone to teach her, her skills are still pretty basic and she has much to learn. The reason behind why she show's such promise in the magic arts is a mystery. Weapon: Spoiler: Magic Rod Ultimate Move/Ability: Awakening - Increases her power by a massive amount, though the method through which this is done will not be described for spoiler purposes. Other: Is something of a unofficial Daughter to Demon as she views him as a father figure. Spoiler: Merin Astarion Username: TheAstarion Name: Merin Astarion Age: 19 Sex: Female Alignment: The Aura Rangers! Insistent terminology, go! With your true strength, carve your own path to our combined glory! (‘Heroes’) Appearance: Spoiler Tall for a girl, around 5'9, though this is about average for females of her clan. Personality: Merin is usually carefree, and easily distracted by trifling matters she deems to be serious business. She does, however, relish a good fight, and regularly spares strong opponents on the promise of a rematch later. She makes friends easily but completely fails at keeping in touch, and assumes that every relationship can be resumed as if the last contact was yesterday. She's childish when she can afford to be, but when the chips are down, she shows her other side... Bio: While she appears to be a girl from the Tribe, she's actually from one of the larger cities. Whether or not she was born there isn't something she cares about, it's home when she's there and that's good enough for her. She has more affinity for towns than the wild, which makes contact with Tribesmen difficult and embarrassing. Power/Ability: Aside from general armed and unarmed combat prowess and athletic ability, she's an adept healer and elemental mage. She enjoys exploring ways to combine them in combat. Weapon: Twin Aurasabers, focused through her own Soulstones. Think air blades, lightsabers or whatever. She can also lock them together into a double saber, but tends not to. Since they're focused through soulstones, the blade intensity is directly linked to her emotions; if she's not trying to kill you she probably won't be able to. Ultimate Move/Ability: Omega Cannon - Contains all the elements of magic within a small sphere until they're in perfect harmony... then lets rip. The ultimate omnielemental attack for nailing elemental weaknesses. Other: Likes winning, nearly winning after a good fight, and sweets. Her dad is an inventor and runs a small company, for which she runs deliveries. She doesn't really have a goal, but wouldn't complain if she found one. Spoiler: Ren Yuuki Username: Master of Keyblades Name: Ren Yuuki Age: 15 Sex: Male Alignment: Hero Appearance: Spoiler Personality: At most times Ren is pretty much calm and Collective, but he can be reckless and rush right into thing if he's not focus. One of the few times he could get blinded with rage is if Vincent begins to mock him. Bio: Ren pretty much had a normal life, a good family and friends. The only problem was that he had a special power that even he didn't know much about. It never would’ve been awoken if Vincent had never tried to kill him. Even though Vincent manages to take out his left eye, the pain from it was enough to release his powers and cause Vincent to stop him from finishing the job. Power/Ability: Can channel electricity through his body and focus it at any specific point or fire it out of the palm of his hands Weapon: Spoiler Ultimate Move/Ability: Thunder Spark- If the conditions are right, Ren can momentarily gain control of natural lighting. Other: Often likes to stare at the sky. Spoiler: Rubira Sumona Curas Name: Rubira 'Ruby' Sumona Curas Age: Appears to be in late 20s. Sex: Female Alignment: Hero Appearance: Spoiler Her true form^ minus the snakes in her hair. She also has fangs and claws, not teeth and nails. She can also turn into a human form where her tail becomes legs and her claws/fangs become nails/teeth. In the human form, her skin color stays the same and the scales of her tail become silk-like pants on her legs. Personality: Sadistic, but mysterious. Rubira likes to keep to herself, especially when it's about anything personal to her, but she loves to find out details about everyone else and use it to manipulate them. She loves inflicting pain and is quite evil in personality. She has a strange fondness for cookies. Bio: Rubira is a Medusa, a sub-race of humans that evolved from serpents instead of primates. Medusas are very few in numbers compared to humans and rarely seen living in the most hidden parts of deserts, mountains, forests, and in some cases, underwater. Mystical in nature (think gypsies) and sadistic in personalities, they are an extremely rarely-seen race. While her past is shed in mystery, Ruby left her tribe to stop the Essence from being used, seeing it as an affront to the planet itself, the gods themselves, and creation as a whole. Power/Ability: -Enhanced strength and speed in Medusa form. -Mild hypnosis in human form (only making someone easier to convince) and extreme suggestion in Medusa form, but only with close eye contact. -Venom. Any living material she bites turns to stone around the area. If she spits the venom, it acts as a corrosive acid. -Ability to turn into a humanoid female. Weapon: N/A (unless you count her claws, fangs, and tail). Ultimate Move/Ability: Gorgonic Wrath. Each strand of hair turns into a separate snake that can stretch extremely far, biting everything in sight. Other: Spoiler: Merrisa Levaunt Username: Jayn. Name: Merrisa Levaunt. Age: 21. Sex: Female. Alignment: Hero. Appearance: Here. Personality: Logical, calculated, serious. Bio: Merrisa Levaunt devotes a large part of her life to finding ways to better the world. Her goal is to make the world a place where science outdoes magic. She wanted nothing more than the end to the "The Essence". She lives by a code of conduct and preforms within the limitations of what is excepted. Power/Ability: She'd really prefer to stick with weapons, but she is trained in several forms of hand-to-hand combat. Weapon: She prefers using gun, traditional (though messy), but in actuality would probably prefer not to fight at all. Ultimate Move/Ability: N|A Other: I'd really like a cookie right now. Though that's totally not relevant. Spoiler: Nano Chen Username: terminallyCapricious Name: Nano Chen Age: 14 Sex: Unknown (Either a boy or a girl) Alignment: Hero Appearance: It's the one to the left Spoiler Personality: Elegant and polite. Will reach out to others easily. Feels as if they should serve humans and holds them in the upmost regard. Bio: A bastard child between a Human and a Lycankin. Was raised outside of the tribes and forced into a life of restraints by their human mother. It became evident that they were not allowed to be in any form of relationship or contact with people of it's own age or species. Power/Ability: The power over Souls. Can take out, heal, seperate, consume, switch, ect. souls. All Nano needs is direct contact to do so although this takes an INCREDIBLE ammount of energy and normally one direct attack to a soul will cause him/her damage. Weapon: None. Ultimate Move/Ability: Judgement Breaker. Where all of the souls in the area are sent into the afterlife. This also kills the user as well. Nano only knows that it has this move because it preformed it once before; but The Power of Love revived him/her. Other: ‘Villains’: Spoiler: Rhevin Kurse Username: DarkTraitor Name: Rhevin Kurse Age: 39 Sex: Male Alignment: Villain Appearance: Spoiler Personality: Usually reasonable, Charismatic, Dedicated. Bio: A skilled fighter, and an incredibly well-respected scientist, Rhevin has been a massive force behind the progression of mankind for the past 25 years. After Swift defeated him one year ago, he seems to be more and more focused on claiming the Essence, to the point of conducting less-than-ethical experiments to assist him in getting it. He has recently started gathering an elite group together in a final attempt to take the Essence for himself and his experiments. Power/Ability: Great strength, Incredible intelligence.* Weapon: Greatsword Ultimate Move/Ability: Unknown as of yet.* Other: Leader of the 'Villains'. Anya Kurse's father. *Some information has been left out for plot purposes. Spoiler: Veiran Username: DarkTraitor Name: Veiran Age: Appears 19 Sex: Male Alignment: Villain Appearance: Spoiler Personality: Loyal, Un-Selfish, A natural leader. Bio: Created by Rhevin as a counter to Swift's own abilities, Veiran is a clone made from the DNA of thousands of different humans, all chosen for particular traits. He's aware of his status as a clone, but chooses to serve Rhevin of his own free will. Due to an accelerated growth, his DNA is unstable and prone to degrading unless regularly treated. Power/Ability: Unmatched reaction times and reflexes, above-average movement speed. Weapon: Single-handed Katana Ultimate Move/Ability: Degradation; Grants an incredible boost to his already impressive speed, but leaves him with little energy afterwards. Other: Spoiler: Anya Kurse Username: Bushy-Brow-1992 Name: Anya Kurse Age: 18 Sex: Female Alignment: Villain Appearance: Refer to banner ----> Personality: Cold, calculating and loyal to no one but her father. Anya doesn't care about anyone or anything but achieving her father's goals. As such, she will do anything necessary in order to achieve them, no matter what sacrifices must be made, even if it means herself. Bio: Anya is Rhevin's daughter. Nothing more than that is known, not even the identity of her mother. Power/Ability: Enhanced Strength - Anya is a lot stronger physically than most normal people. Enhanced Speed - Anya is a lot faster physically than most normal people. Enhanced Defense - Anya is a lot more durable physically than most normal people, her skin being stronger than even the strongest of elements. Enhanced Magic - Anya is strong magically and has a vast and powerful control over many types of magic. Weapon: Spoiler: daggers She uses two of these which she holds in a reverse style grip. Ultimate Move/Ability: Glint - Her eye's turn white and she gains the ability of increased visual perception allowing her to move against most attacks at extreme speeds. If she sees an attack, she can pretty much dodge/block it perfectly in an instant. She is also able to pretty much read her opponent(s) so well that she can practically predict their moves. Other: Rhevin Kurse's Daughter. The reason for her abilities are a mystery. Spoiler: Nightshade Troquin Username: TheAstarion Name: Sorceress Nightshade Troquin Age: 31. Maybe. Sex: Female Alignment: 'Villains' Appearance: Spoiler Personality: She is calm and collected at all times, eerily so. It is difficult to know sometimes if she is aware of the danger around her, until she brutally puts all threats to rest in what is quite often a single strike. Bio: Her goal is to extend her control over Space-Time to halt the expansion of the universe, to avoid the End of Time, however it may come. Immortality, in her mind, is useless without a universe to support it, and eternal life beyond the End of All Things would be a fate far, far worse than death. While not immortal herself, she is not incapable of achieving it. Power/Ability: She is the quintessential sorceress. Her area of expertise is spacetime manipulation, and she specialises in the space part. While she can manifest physical force in battle, it's often easier for her to simply not be there... or for her opponent to find themselves elsewhere. Fighting is for barbarians who can't use magic, after all. Weapon: Planning. She doesn't enjoy the attention that comes with a Death Sword of Death. She carries a dagger with her, but only uses it as a utility. Ultimate Move/Ability: Absolute Zone: Void to the Stars - Nightshade opens a portal to a known place in the universe... which sometimes can only end badly for all. Spewing the heart of a star into someone's path can put a dampener on their day. Other: She may or may not be Hemlock's real daughter, and it may or may not matter. She follows Rhevin on the chance that his proposed experiments will show something interesting for her purposes. She is more than willing to share the fruits of the quest, unlike most traditional villains, simply because she doesn't care if others get their wish. If this idea of hers fails, she will find another way. She doesn't seem to take pleasure in anything, and does only what she sees is necessary. Spoiler: Vincent Rucksal Username: Master of Keyblades Name: Vincent Rucksal Age: 19 Sex: Male Alignment: Villain Appearance: Spoiler Personality: Fill with curiosity once Vincent finds something that interest him, he never stop in testing its limits until it either fails him or he get bored with it. Once he see Ren though he forget about whatever the goal he has is and focuses entirely on finding the extent of Ren’s powers. Bio: Unlike Ren, Vincent life wasn’t all that good. Due to that fact he was part of an experiment use to give humans super-natural abilities he wasn’t allowed to see his family for and while. As time went by he became a wander, doing whatever it took too survive, even if it meant killing. Power/Ability: Due to the experiment, Vincent can move any in-animate object or turn it into a weapon by concentrating. Weapon: Spoiler Ultimate Move/Ability: Using a vast amount of energy, Vincent can create a giant Knight out of anything around him. Other: N/A Spoiler: Agile Verge Username: Red Robin (LilBueno) Name: Agile Verge Age: 23 Sex: Male Alignment: Villain Appearance: Here Personality: Lazy. He's only serious when it's relating to the Essence. Bio: Agile was a normal Auran growing up. In fact, the only notable thing people knew about him was that he was an Auran. He was often told he was a waste of the Auran blood, due to his slacking. In reality, he was simply 'bored with this dull ball we call a planet.' Even though he was a slacker, he always hoped to be remembered. He wants to change the world. While bored with the world, he does have the best interest of people in heart. Which is why he believes the Essence should be used to benefit mankind. Power/Ability: His crystal (residing on his necklace) gives him the ability to control his own gravitational field. He uses this to decrease his weight for added speed, increase it for added strength, or to direct his personal gravity towards a wall in order to walk on walls/ceilings. His Strength Demon Form is slower than Agile in his normal form, but its massive strength makes up for it. His Speed Demon Form is weaker physically than his normal form, but is able to move quick enough for him to be nothing but a blur. Weapon: Blitz-a sword that changes shapes with his Demon Forms. Ultimate Move/Ability: Mega-G. Agile's Ultimate Move lets him change the gravity in the surrounding area in an instant. He uses it to shoot opponents high into the air at high speeds and then increases the gravity to send them slamming down to the ground just as fast. He's unable to move while he does this. Other: (Any other relevant information.) N/A Spoiler: Shayne Dawn Username: Jayn. Name: Shayne "Galaxy" Dawn. Age: Appears around twenty. Sex: Female. Alignment: Villian. Appearance: Here. Personality: Sarcastic, bitter, impatient. Bio: Galaxy's past doesn’t matter much anymore. When she was younger, she was a driven and determined girl. She was heading to the top of her field of study. She was considered a genius, having accomplished more at the age of 20, with her expertise in science and her ability to absorb information like a sponge. But within this intelligence and study, she began to fall into somewhat of an obsession. She began to see just how useful a power such as this could be to humanity, until eventually, it was less of a selfless conclusion and more an addiction. Not to mention, while studying and working in the labs, she was startled, accidentally dropping a syringe of a foreign substance--which happened to land on her wrist. She began to change, into something even she didn't understand. Power/Ability: She is able to harness light, as an energy force. Weapon: She usually prefers to jump back and forth between shaping the energy into that of a gun-like weapon, and using it as a sword. Though she can shape and utilize it in whatever way she wishes. Ultimate Move/Ability: In the midst of a battle, if she can stay calm enough, she can steal the light source from an entire area and harness however she wishes. (in a non-godmoddy way, of course. ;3) Spoiler: Yoppei Username: terminallyCapricious Name: Yoppei Age: 18 Sex: Male Alignment: Villain(?) Appearance: Spoiler Personality: Incredibly hammy, but nice to say the least. He'll help out the needy and refuse to fight anyone who is unable to fight. Will grab a microphone to scream out his 'evil' plans which normally consist of much less heinous things than he normally does. In other words; he won't mind slaughtering an army of soldiers but there is nothing more evil than stealing from a store. Hitting his berserk button will normally lead to things such as HUGE DRAWN OUT SPEECHES OF GOOD AND EVIL to all. Hero or Villain. Bio: Bored. That's the only reason he joined the Villain's side to begin with. Power/Ability: Music which can control anyone who hears it into doing whatever he feels like. Only for amusement's sake. For fighting, he uses his... Weapon: A very amazing-looking guitar(see pic above) with bladed ends. Ultimate Move/Ability: Meltdown Other: Other: Races: Human: Spoiler It's fairly likely that the players in this RP are humans themselves, so little explanation should be required. While there isn't a specific statistic, certain humans may inherit the ability to control life-energy, and are named Aurans. Medusa: Spoiler Having evolved from serpents, Medusas are snakelike in both nature and personality. They have the lower torso of a snake; the abilities to hypnotize, poison, petrify, take a humanoid appearance, and unhinge their jaws. Men are rare, but not seen in their tribes. Instead, the women become pregnant by age (differs depending on the woman) and lay eggs. Medusas are able to procreate with other races, but the Medusa traits greatly diminish and becomes recessive to the other half. Half-human, half-Medusa children do not have a Medusa form with a tail or claws, but keep unnaturally-colored skin, unhingable jaws, and the ability to hypnotize. Medusas live in small tribes or clans, but are adapted to all climates. They can be found in the hottest deserts, the deepest rivers, the tallest mountains, darkest caves, or largest forests. They are gypsy-like in nature and have high mystical perception. A Medusa's bite does not petrify the entire body, only the area that was bitten. Unpetrification is a painful, but possible medical procedure. Medusas tend to torture their victims by biting separate areas of a body rapidly so the body can still move but starts to weigh too much due to the stone or by biting the joints so a victim can't move. They are rarely seen in cities or towns, but it isn't uncommon. Lycankin: Spoiler Lycankin, or "Tribesmen", are, on average, larger than humans, but not inordinately so. Their distinguishing features are animal ears and a tail, usually the same colour as their hair. They also have pronounced canine teeth and sharp claws that they tend to keep sheathed; using them as weapons is a taboo in their society. They tend to weigh more than a human of the same proportions, owing to an increased muscle mass and bone density. They usually live in tribes away from humans, but are still a common sight in towns and cities. The tribes themselves put up an uncivilised facade to stop people being nosy, but in reality they just don't want their women to all end up as maids, and all their men to end up as bouncers. Adolescents are allowed to leave their tribe permanently, and other tribes usually welcome new blood. Some, however, just end up getting lost in a city and staying there. To see a Tribesman outside their villages over the age of 30 or below the age of 15 means you've found one such person, or their offspring. Locations: None yet. This is the OOC Thread, where RP-relevant discussions may take place, and where you should post your OC forms. While I will allow OOC's in the RP Thread itself, you should restrict that to just a couple of lines.

[video=youtube;XZGei6zbUG8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZGei6zbUG8[/video] Posted this on behalf of Bushy-Brow-1992, who would have undoubtedly posted it himself were it not for the InfinityPlusOne essays he has to do. This was a short thing at the end of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged episode 52 that was since converted into a loop. I found it amusing, shared it with Bushy, who found it more amusing than even I did and told me to post it here. So I did, evidently.
Just joined the site today and was recommended to stop by here and say hello to everybody. I'm quite new to forum-sites in general, so I'm not used to this kind of thing but... Hello everybody.
