Linkage to theme songs and short bio. Both are optional, just dropping this here.
I forgot to remove the word "half" in the species part in the profile. If you have your character half human/demon then that is cool and I like it. But just know that it was a typo on my part. ^^' So Saxima and Plums, are your characters hybrids or full demons?
Seeing how joined and all~ Go ahead and say hi and talk among yourselves.
Been meaning to do one of these for ages but never got around to it till I saw Maka's thread and it motivated me to get to work. It's a character dump story. Would say that but I hit enter by mistake and it went through before I even finished this... Our Group The Side of Insanity It's a darkness so deep that light does not exist within it nor does sound. A place where no warmth can be found; a void, nothingness, the abyss. No one can imagine the torment one will feel running around in such a place only to find that there is no beginning or end to this place unless they experience it themselves.And those within this darkness are given impossible tasks such as to pick up grains of sand without ever dropping one or catch smoke with their bare hands.Surely you can understand the insanity one will obtain if put through this? Surely you understand why I must punish those who created such a place?...Right?Yes, you must.This is why you are on my side. Why you chose to fight the creators.But...we cannot see the creators for they have not revealed themselves to us yet.So we must destroy their other creations in order for them to show. Those will be the humans.Those weak little humans who will never have to see such a place of darkness and misery...They're known as demons; these humanoids. In their lifetime they were witches; ones who practiced dark magic. And when they died they went to this abyss; the place where they turned insane. They found a way out, and now are called demons. They still have their human looks and dark magic. If you aren't careful around them, you'll die. The Side of Justice Some say we see the world without any color, that it is all black and white to us. Perhaps this is so but if it were not for us there would be no world to see at all.We have many names; our most common one being “hunters.” Because this is what we are.We hunt down the demons which plague our world and slaughter them for they must not destroy the Creators' work; the humans, animals, and the planet. With our bare hands if need be we will bring down any threats to the world.Hunters are beings without a solid form. They look like a shadow, or light. The shadows hunt down the wicked, dragging them into the abyss. The light protects the good, guarding whomever needs it. No Side is the Best Side We are humans. Some of us may have certain abilities such as telepathy and the likes. Some of us may even dip our hands in the taint of magic. Not all magic is evil, though, and can be used for good.But really who is to say what is good and what is bad?And then there is the rest of us; those who know nothing about the magical world in which we live but will soon become trapped within it.We may chose a side later on, but for the beginning we are on our own.Humans are called weak, yet they are the only beings who can become anything. Witches, elementalist, etc. However they are the weakest of their class, unless they lose their humanity. Not too many of them can be magical, after all that'd be typical. Where are we? This is the world of the humans. We start in Cincinnati, Ohio where the snow can get thick in the winter and the air is humid in the summer. Conflict Demons are in the city, killing off humans. They do so as not to alert the hunters right away as their numbers grow and the feed off of souls for power. Soon enough the hunters will find out about them and many will get trapped in the crossfire.Humans are doing their own thing. This could be a normal life or a life of crime or maybe they made it their duty to hunt down the demons. They could be unaffected by things thus far or maybe they lost a family member or friend in the random disappearances around the city.Hunters are coming in from different places since they have sensed a large number of demons in the area but have yet to take any action. Characters Sheets Five for each side starting off sounds good... Whether we have more or less depends on how many people are interested in doing this. So please PM me before filling out the thing below to say you're interest so I can make a character limit and be sure to tell me which side you will be joining. Maka gave me permission to use this.

But she wouldn't remember it. • What kind of place do they live in?: Since she's being hunted by both sides, she hides from place to place. Mostly in the city's library in the secret rooms that have been long forgotten by the owners. She has a single blanket, an old stuffed teddy bear (which she found with her when she woke up from her dark abyss), and a pile of musty books with a fading flashlight in the corner of one of these secret rooms. That's all she has, but she has ways of getting food and the things she needs. • Any kind of pet? What kind if so?: Since she's on the run most of the time, no. She's always been interested in dogs though, especially Australian Shepherd mixes. • Favorite food(s): Hannah has a strange interest in butterscotch candy, mint hot chocolate, and pasta. Although she craves human blood most of the time, real food seems more appeasing to her. • What is their financial situation?: Technically very poor, homeless but not homeless • Hobby: Whether she realizes it or not, she likes to make dolls out of trash, read books, write stories in her journal, work with clay, and explore the city. • Normal Skill: Has catlike reflexes, can fit in tight areas that seem almost impossible for anyone else to squeeze into, can wield a gun or sword if she gets her hands on one. • Supernatural abilities: Night vision (Can see in the dark, hates being out in the bright sun so she's light sensitive), high jump (about fifteen to thirty feet off the ground), and sticky hands and feet (can crawl on any surface without difficulty, except for aluminium surfaces.

She named herself, got back on her feet after wandering around and trying to figure out where she was and what to do now, and for two years, learned a great deal of what she is and what she isn't. When she goes in berserk, total demon mode, she gets claws, horns, fangs, small bat like wings, and red eyes. She hates it, because she has no control over herself and what is happening around her, and when she goes back to normal, Hannah is weakened and very vulnerable to anything or anyone. Story Spoiler: introduction - Introduction - november 22nd It was clean, at least. So no one really complained about the dark room even with the pentagrams and pentacles placed through out in the form of posters and objects. Not like any complaints made by his mother or step-father would have been listened to and obeyed.This male, Ayden as he was named, was currently laying on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Perhaps it was through sheer boredom with the lack of things to do at four am or simply because he had no desire to move at the moment which. Either way he continued to lie there until his body refused to stay still any longer.Finally he pushed himself out of his cocoon looking like bed and moved to retrieve his laptop, setting it in his lap as he went back and sat on his bed, using the wall to lean against.For roughly thirty minutes he browsed the internet aimlessly before finding a link to a Satanic website. Might as well check it out... He thought, clicking the link.Heh...what stereotypical stuff... Total fakes. Just as he went to move the mouse to the exit button something caught his eyes, drawing his attention in.Random Disappearances: Are they really random or are they all connected? Didn't he hear about that at school the other day?“I bet it's some runaways trying to get attention.” “No way! That many? Something has to be up.” “I heard some satanic cult is behind it!” “Really?” “You believe everything you hear, don't you?” “But this is true!”While he thought back on the classroom conversation he had clicked the link and was brought to a new site with the article. He only skimmed through it, picking out what he deemed as important facts before shutting the laptop with a sigh.However... Even though he acted uninterested he felt his hands tremble. It wasn't out of fear but instead some excitement. Was something finally worthwhile about to happen in this dull city? ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ It is impossible to describe the feeling of flying through the city to one who has never done it before. And even if Fiore somehow manages to find someone who has done it before he did not think he could find the words to say about how amazing it was.It was not like he was one to show any real emotions, but flying was really something. Especially early in the morning when everyone was still inside, sleeping or passing time through pointless means.Though in the end all he was doing was wasting his precious time where as he should be working on his art project instead. But no matter what he did he couldn't think of anything to paint and not even his music could inspire him at the time.That was when he walked outside and began to fly around with no goal in mind other than perhaps seeing something worth painting.No such thing came.Only when the sun started to rise did he land and threw on his black hoodie to try and conceal his wings from view. They were hidden, however uncomfortable it may be.He had landed in the park, as it was the perfect place to go so no one saw him flying about and he always went here at night, anyway.What time is it...? Ah, I should start walking to school, huh?The clock on his phone displayed six am, and without the power of flight getting to school would take awhile and being late would mean being locked out of class. But even though he was in a slight hurry he stopped to listen when a noise echoed through out the air.“Did you fall, too?” “Huh?” He turned to look in the direction where the question came from only to see a girl standing there. “Fall? I didn't fall...”Did she see my wings? And...what the hell does she mean? The girl did not answer him, continuing to walk instead, only speaking when she was beside him.“The hunters are near by...you should keep moving.”“What?” His head turn to look at her again as she moved by but she was no longer in sight. Hunters...Without a moment of hesitating he hurried off to school. ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ Winston, the black cat, had ran off yet again. This would not bother Jacob as cats tend to do such, but it's been nearly two days since he's seen that cat and so he grew worried.So, as he was currently off of work he went out the neighborhood looking for Winston and asking those who he saw out and about. “Useless...” He muttered, walking away from yet another person who hasn't seen the cat around. But he refused to give up and thus the search continued.“A black cat you say?” A dark haired female said. Her voice was monotone and she had to look up just to see Jacob. “Yeah... He's about this big...” Jacob said, making a shape with his hands while thinking over how to describe Winston, “has green eyes and a collar... Oh, he likes people too so I think it'd be easy to tell him apart from strays...” “Um...” The girl looked down, thinking about this cat. “Oh.”“Oh?”She nodded. “Oh. I've seen a cat like that,” she says, pointing down the street, “by fountain square but...”“Thank you!” He shouted, already running off before she finished her sentence. With intense regret for leaving his red Vespa behind he reached fountain square drenched in sweat and out of breath.“Damn...need...a...break.” He panted before collapsing on a bench.Without realizing it he had fallen asleep on this bench and woke up half an hour later when someone shook him. It was that girl from before.“Mister...”“What...?” He grumbled, wiping drool from his mouth as he sat up. I was having such a nice sleep too... Wait...why am I out here again? The girl looked down at something near her feet.Upon following her gaze he saw a black cat purring and rubbing against her leg.“Winston!” He reached down to pick up the cat, only to suddenly lose his joy as he then angrily glared at the cat, who seemed smug in a way. However it was hard to be pissed at a cat and even harder to scold one and he soon hung his head with a defeated sigh.“Can I...”“Hm?” Jacob placed Winston in his lap to look at the girl. “Oh...You want money or something, right?”She nodded.“Fine, fine.” He withdrew a wallet from his pocket and looked at the cash which he had in it. His income was steady, sure, but he couldn't go around wasting too much of his money. With a frown he pulled out ten dollars and handed it over to the girl, not caring if she thought he was being cheap. “Is this enough?”She took it, staring at it for a moment before nodding and stuffing it into her pocket. “Thank you.” She said, running off afterwards. ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ They were working on their schoolwork at their desks; well... They didn't really have desks. Instead one was a wooden crate and the other was two piles of bricks, four in each pile, with a piece of wood laying on top of it. And of course the desks were too small to have a chair at so they sat on the floor as they worked. Not like they even had any chairs around, anyway.It wasn't the best of places, but it was what they called home.“Damion...” a blonde, young female asks as she looks from her paper and to the other one in the room, speaking in a soft tone, “can you help me with this?”Damion looked over towards his younger sister and titles his head. “Hm? What is it Delilah?” Without needing an answer he scoots over to her to look at the page she was on and smiled. With her in middle school and him in high school helping her was easy. And helping her was what he practically lived for, so this was no big deal.“I don't get this one...”“Here, it's like this...” With a smile he explained the problem to her before moving back to his own work. Within the hour both had finished their work and moved to stretch their legs.“So,” Damion said, smiling softly, “dinner time?”Delilah nodded in agreement before heading out the door with him.It was evening now and the sun was beginning to set, setting the sky on fire with dark reds and oranges.There was a chill in the air, signaling that another cold winter was coming. Would they be alright this year?Maybe I should try and get some extra blankets... Damion thinks as they approach hot dog stand.Without cash to buy something they stood back, finding a place to sit and wait while keeping the stand in view.“Hm... He doesn't seem like he'll leave any time soon...” Delilah says, looking at the middle aged man running the stand. “No worries...I got this. Just get the food while you can, okay?”Delilah nods, watching her brother get to his feet and taking a deep breath. After a moment of silence he nods to himself and runs towards the stand.While passing it he reaches out randomly, grabbing whatever he can and continues to run.“H-hey!” The stand owner shouts before running after him.When the two were out of sight Delilah gets up and runs to the stand, grabbing a few napkins and wrapping some hotdogs and buns in them before running back the way they came from.When she got to the abandoned house where they stayed Damion wasn't there and she began to fear the worst.Is he... Tears threatened to fall from her eyes when the door was pushed open, causing her to jump.“D-damion!” She shouted, jumping up to hug him.“Heh... I got the ketchup, lucky huh?” He said smiling as he hugged her back.It wasn't much, but the food which they then ate kept them alive.And after eating Damion played his guitar while Delilah sang. They were happy, and very different from the people who they knew. Yet all of them... All of their happiness, their lifestyles... All of it would mean nothing very soon. Spoiler: First Chapter -Chapter One- On August 10th twenty years ago Chris River was born like any other human. He grew up in a happy family, making him a happy child.Never did he consider the worst. Life was good, so why question it?But then, fifteen years into his life, tragedy struck.His mother, the one whom he loved most, was in an accident.She lived, but fell into a coma. Never again would she be there when he needed advice, nor to give him a reassuring smile. He would never hear her words again and living would never be the same.It was only a matter of time before the family fell apart.After a month of suffering he appeared with an offer that changed everything. ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ It became unnaturally cold that Tuesday morning. Though Chris thought nothing of it. He simply zipped up his jacket and carried on with his morning walk.Sometimes he would lay down on the dirt path in the park and hope he would vanish, like he did right now.“Why am I still alive?”The voice which had spoken Chris's thoughts took him by surprise, causing him to jump to his feet.“Am I hearing things now?”Chris spun around and there was the source of the voice; a boy no older than himself and wearing a wide grin.“Who are you?” Chris demanded in a forced tone. Just the sight of this guy terrified him for unknown reasons.“Ah, does really matter who I am past the fact that I am one who can bring your dear mother back to you?”Every instinct of Chris's being told him to get away from this boy, yet he did not move. He could not move. It was as if his body had shut down working altogether besides his mind, which screamed for his mother.But...was such a thing possible?“How...?” Chris asked, already willing to forget logic if it meant his mother would return to him.The boy chuckled as if Chris questioning him was amusing. “It's quite easy, actually. But it comes at a price.”“Of course...” Was his only time to heal his mother slipping by simply because he lacked the money for it?”No, no, no-It is not money I am asking for.” The boy paused to draw up the tension. “In exchange for your mother's health all I ask for is your soul! Great deal, right?”Chris's eyes widen and he felt himself tremble. “M-my soul?”“You watch too much TV. I won't rip it out of you. Just do whatever I say and dear mother stays awake. “Those words brought Chris some relief but he was still worried. “What...will you ask of me?””Whatever comes to mind,” he answered, shrugging.Chris tilted his head, confused as to why he would even do this without having something in mind. However, he did not think over it for too long and soon had his answer. “Your mother...” his dad cried when Chris got home, “she's awake!” ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄present - november 23rd The students sat silently in the classroom as the college professor gave his lecture.Shifting in his seat was Chris as he tried to take notes while also looking through the corner of his eyes at the girl who sat next to him.What drew his attention to her was the faint smell of dye and then the curiosity of what color the dyed hair was. After noticing that it was a dark gray color he happened to think “isn't she too young for college?” and now had a strange feeling about her.“And that's all for today.”The professor's words snapped him out of it and he then gathered his things.”Oh, Trey Skeith and Chris River...can I speak to you for a moment?”“Huh...” Chris walked to the teacher's desk as everyone else shuffled out of the room.When Chris got to the desk he noticed that Trey was taking longer even though his chair was closer to the teacher's desk. So he looked over to see what was taking the guy so long.Trey was turning off his iPod and putting away, giving Chris some time to recall just who exactly he was. Remembering such was easy as Trey stood out with a superiority complex and that dark green headband of his everyone made fun of at some point. But none dared say anything to Trey's face, causing Chris to wonder what was so scary about him.”Since you two are the top of my class I have an offer for the both of you,” the teacher said, crossing her arms as she sat down. “There's a program at the school which will help you graduate quicker, if you're interested.”"Does it require my pants on? Because around you, I'd rather not.” Trey said with a smug look.Chris cringed at Trey's comment. He also noticed a frown on the teachers face. “Ah...I-I'll think about it.” He said, fleeing the room before the teacher could lecture Trey. It really wasn't something he cared to be caught in-between.Upon exiting the room he was greeted with an empty hallway. However, after a few moments of walking towards his next class he noticed that it was unnaturally cold and he prepared himself by wiping all emotions from his face and trying to clear his thoughts.”Yo Chris! Long time no see.” Said the voice which belonged to the owner of his soul, a nameless figure in Chris's life which he dreaded seeing.Since selling his soul to this man Chris had to forsake his humanity as he was told to kill others. The only way he could do such was because the ones he killed were rotten humans on the verge of becoming monsters themselves. That and if he disobeyed this man his mother would no longer be with him.“It's job time.” The man said happily as a photograph appeared in his outstretched hand. “Annabell Taylor Rose.”Chris's eyes widened as he recognized the girl in the picture as the one who sat next to him in class. To think such a person was in public like that...“This time you have till the end of the day to kill her, so don't mess up!” And then, without any further comments, the man had vanished as suddenly as he appeared. ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄the next day The trees in the park had red and brown leaves decorating their branches, the leaves readying themselves to fall down to the ground in a silent death.Matching the red leaves was the strawberry tinge in blonde hair that flowed gently with the breeze. Only that it was contrasted with a single dark purple streak on the left side of the hair.This hair sat upon a head of a young female standing amidst the trees of the woods.Her peaceful respite was interrupted with the sound of footsteps.When she looked around to see what had made the sound she saw a girl who might have been the same age as her.”Huh...?” The blonde tilted her head, looking down at the other girl. After a pause with a confused look on her face she then smiled. “Hello.”The first girl got to her feet and nodded slightly. “Hello...” From what she's seen with the people around her and from TV it was polite to say your name when greeting a new person. “I'm Hannah Linberan.” The introducing was short and to the point. Hannah really just hoped that this girl would go away now, because even though she seemed nice Hannah was scared of her. In fact, Hannah was scared of most people since all of them were dangerous.“Nice to meet you. My name is Delilah.” Delilah shifted, finding it awkward just standing here. So she found a spot near the girl and sat there. “So what are you doing way out here?”“Just resting.” Hannah answered with a blank look still. She sat back down and breathed deeply to calm herself. Delilah seemed okay...and if she wasn't Hannah could always just run away...“Hm...” Delilah frowned, wondering if she was bothering the girl. She began looking around for something to talk about when she noticed a bag next to Hannah filled with various snacks. It may have been rude but she could feel her stomach silently aching. “So...what's in the bag?”“Food.” Hannah answered simply, reaching into the bag and holding out a snack bar. “Do you want some?” It was almost as if she was giving the food as a peace offering.Delilah smiled, taking the snack and thanking the girl. Only after finishing the bar did she speak again. “So...Are you always here?”“Not always... But I like it here.” She answered, slowly eating some butterscotch candy.“Mind if I come eat with you tomorrow, if you're here?” Delilah asked, hoping this was a chance for her to find some dinner so her brother could focus on getting food for himself more so, as he always gave her the bigger share of it.Hannah paused for a moment before nodding. “If I am here.”Delilah smiled widely, assuming that this was a friendship in the making. She barely noticed that it was getting very cold around them. Pictures edited by me. Please do not use without permission!
So I used my Pokemon avi/sig set on MSN and two others liked it and wanted me to make one for them to and I can't say no to such simple requests ^^' I'm not good and these are sloppy, quick work but Plums told me to post so I'm posting these. abusivefakehusbandisabusive. Didn't post the avis as they were just badly cropped things of the sigs. somecncwillstillbegoodofcourse
So... Since getting married we have moved to Wonderful into a house which has a giant blade on the side of it which cuts up anyone who dares trespasses. Oh, and it also eats people too, apparently. Also, we have a dog made of pizza. Though I strongly advise against eating him. Life is interesting, is it not? XD
I am still not good with graphics, especially text, but needed this for Digital Design class. Just wish my teacher knew what she was talking about... Cnc, advice? Mainly on text? Edit: On a different screen now then when I made it...It's like...really bright, isn't it?
And I am already vomiting and feel like sh*t. Every year something has to happen. Every effing time >.>" Now...if you do not mind I think I will just die off in that corner.
I once said I will never become addicted to tumblr. It's happening. ;~;
Taken from this DA journal, which has more info. I thought it'd mean more coming from someone who is facing this as it is happening. I hope no one else dies and things settle down quickly.
I believe the open beta just came out in April... I could be wrong, since remembering dates is really not my forte... Either way, it is amazing. I love the plot to it and gameplay is rather fun. The music is really nice. You cannot change the gender so if you wish to be a male/female you must be a class which is set as such, but other than that they allow you to design the character however you want to, even the proportions are changeable. It is on alaplaya and to see full details you have to sign in. Here is the link: http://argo.en.alaplaya.net/ If you join or already in I picked Nature's side and have two characters; xMonochromex and AliceLorene.
There is a good chance that we are going to Gamestop this Friday and I have some birthday money I will be able to use. But I am a majorly indecisive person who will end up standing there, staring at the games until I go crazy and then we'd have to leave. We have a PS3, but getting it away from my brother is a huge hassle and near impossible. I can try at times, and maybe drug him or something, but it'd be easier to get something for the PS2 or Gamecube, which I always have access too. My sister has a DS and may be getting a PSP and I could always leech off of her till I get my own. So, things I must have in a game is a good plot and more into RPGs than anything else, though I do play several other types of games. I'm not big on first person shooters though. The 3rd Birthday seemed like a cool game, but will it be worth it if I had not played the first two games? And I may also want Persona 3, if they have it. If they don't I suppose I could find it somewhere else. But there are other games that interest me as well... *bangs head on wall* Help? ;~;
KHV has them.
And I am now a KHV legend. :'D
For full details check out the OOC Thread! Stuff included there which cannot be found here are as follow: Classes, Jobs, Setting, Updates, and a list of Allowed Abilities. Introduction Cloaked in black we ran through the streets of the desolate ruins which was once a great city.Sweat was on our brows and fear raised in our hearts, and though we knew we were probably going to die soon we continued to run.So...is this really it? Am I going to die today...?We were in the middle of the street when suddenly these monsters, Ghouls as we call them, came from out of the buildings to either side and suddenly another group of them were in front of us. We stopped in our tracks and turned around to run back the way we came but the group which had started chasing us in the first place was there.So this really was the end...We stood back to back, trying to protect the other but ready to die ourselves.“Brother... Is this...” Teary eyes.No replies.But just as we were ready to go someone appeared before us. Four people in fact, one to every side.One used great grace, one used brute strength, one used perfect strategy, and the last one fought with various weapons.Within seconds all of the Ghouls had been slain. And though we wished to thank the ones who saved us we knew it best to just follow them as they started to run down the street.“Are you two okay?” The graceful one asked.We nod, assuring her that we were.We ran for about a mile before reaching a once beautiful neighborhood, going inside the most busted down house. In the back room of the house there was a staircase, which had its entrance hidden behind a bookcase. And then in the basement there was a trapdoor which hid yet another staircase.Hidden passages...strange people... Just where were we going?Either way, we knew it was best to follow. Even if we were being led to our deaths at least we would not become Ghouls. That was worse than the most horrific death we could imagine.There was a series of tunnels following that and we would reach a secured door every now and then. Once we were beyond tired did we finally reach an elevator.It was in the strangest of places, in the wall of the cave, and looked rusted. And yet...we never felt safer once inside.Finally the graceful one spoke again.“You have to make a choice, within a week's time.” She said, her voice rough with past hardships yet still elegant in a way. “No one can live in this city unless they work.”“City?” Just as we questioned it, a city came into view through the bars which kept us from falling out of the elevator. “There are various jobs, but only two main groups.” She continues, ignoring us as we gawked at the glorious city, which seemed to stretch on for miles. It probably looked like how the city on the surface did back in its prime. “City Workers and Surface Workers.”The elevator reached the bottom and jolted from the slight impact. As we tumbled out the other four had no problem staying steady.“Their names should be pretty self explanatory. You'd either be working down here as something like a medic, or Surface Workers like us. And as you can tell, it is our job to save anyone up top while also finding anything useful to bring back here. So which is? Staying here? Or you gonna take your chances up top?” She grinned a cocky grin, probably already knowing our answers. Summary Group of kids [some blood related while others are a part of the makeshift family for the reason that they have to stick together to live] get saved by the four people described, which are the four classes which can be picked for Surface Workers. Work in the city or get out. Have a week to choose. And in the mean time you will be provided with a place to stay and all that jazz. May be taught some things by the people there. And once you pick a job you'd be given a teacher. Background Story With all of Earth's advances in medicine and technology the human race was nowhere near prepared for the virus which plague their kind. This was because it was not a virus, it was a curse. This curse turned humans into Ghouls, a more fiendish type of zombies, and opened the gates of Hell so that demons may once again roam the earth. It started in major cities, but soon overtook the entire world. Billions of people were killed. There were those who managed to live however, and they started to build an underground city where they were safe from the surface horrors. They try to relearn their forgotten history of the surface world as they fight for survival everyday. NPCs Elizabeth Having been born in the underground city, the twenty-five year-old Elizabeth had the choice of never seeing a Ghoul her entire life. But ever since her parents were killed by them when she was only four she picked up a sword and demanded to be trained. She chose to be a Berserker and soon become one of the best in her class. It is hard to earn her respect or even to get her to talk to you, as she finds herself too busy to socialize, but somehow the three in her team have her utmost respect, especially Alice, whom she shall follow without question. What she lacks in grace and intelligence she makes up in brute strength and endurance. And like all trained Berserkers she can go into a rage that makes herself even stronger, but due to the lack of self-control in said rage she uses this stage only as a last resort. Kathrine Having been born mute no one knows much about the twenty-two year old Kathrine. The majority of people only know that she lived on the surface for most of her life before being saved by Alice and Elizabeth and brought down to the city. But by then she was already a skilled fighter and able to use a large assortment of weapons, though not mastering any of them fully. She belongs to no fighting class. Somehow, maybe by not speaking, she has learned to communicate telepathically though only does so often with her team. Otherwise she only 'speaks' to people when needed. And despite her mature appearance she has been known to make very sarcastic and foul remarks. Kiki Despite her young age(19), Kiki is one of the best Scouts in the underground city. Though she is often looked down on and lectured due to her childish behavior and the fact she loves pulling pranks. But while on the surface she takes on a different persona and becomes totally serious and focused; for the most part anyway. And it'd be hard for anyone who haven't seen her in action to tell, but she has an extremely high IQ and makes strategies that could bring down an entire city. She is the weakest in her group, but easily the fastest. She can also make maps mentally and show them to others through some telepathy skill (which is rare even among Scouts), and sense things and people within a two mile radius.

Skeletons For Surface Workers: Username: Name: Gender: Age: Class: Appearance: Bio: Personality: Weapon(s) : If any. Must fit with their class Abilities: If any. Must belong to their class. Four max. Skills: Natural skills. Other: For City Workers: Username: Name: Gender: Age: Job: Appearance: Bio: Personality: Weapon(s) : Even though they are not fighters everyone tends to have some weapon to defend themselves just in case something were to happen. Skills: Must relate to their job. Other: Accepted Characters Spoiler Username: Monochrome Name: Alice Gender: Female Age: 21 Class: Assassin Appearance: Spoiler Bio: Like most everyone who has been born on the surface life was hard. Though no one knows exactly how she lived before coming down to the underground city. She was found barley alive by a group of Surface Workers and they brought the ten year old back with them to the city. She barley made it, but was able to pull through. Ever since then though she hasn't been able the see perfectly, though thanks to her abilities she's never had much trouble finding her way around. The injuries she had made her forget most of her past. Personality: Tries to be friendly and helpful as possible while she'd really just like to ignore everyone and fight till she drops. Is often on the surface, but due to an injury acquired a little before saving the kids from the intro she must stay underground for a while. Weapon(s) : Hidden blades that pop up from her sleeves when she thrusts her arms down, a dagger strapped to her leg, and wire. Abilities: Mild Healing and can sense things up to two feet away, and invisibility. Also, when in in danger or extreme anger she can change forms. More on this later. Skills: Poison making, traps making, stealth, quick kills. Other: Username: Terra Name: Adrian Gender: Male Age: 23 Class: Classless Appearance: http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii45/ArchAwesome1/snow.jpg Bio: Adrian never truly wanted to be working on the surface. He started off first as a Mechanic but after just a year he got sick of it and, on a whim, headed out onto the surface with a Researcher who wished to study something on the surface. The two went with a small group of Surface Workers who acted as their escorts. Adrian felt invigorated when he finally left the Underground City but his moment of happiness soon ended when the group was soon ambushed by a hoard of beasts. The only two who survived were Adrian and the "Classless" who was with them. Impressed by the skills his companion had, Adrian immediately followed in his footsteps and did everything he could to ready himself to be just as prepared when he would finally become a Surface Worker. It has been five years since that day and Adrian has not regretted his decision since. Personality: No going too far with that proper impatient character. Adrian is a highly curious person and a brighter mind that one would think he is given his own "Classless" class. He's defensive when it comes to comments about his weapons as he had designed them himself. He does have a rather large problem with heading into dangerous situations just to satisfy his own curiosity and is often sidetracked by just about anything that can catch his attention. Weapons: Owns a blade that changes into six other forms(spear, chain, bow, axe, shield, and it can split into two short swords) and uses a gauntlet that store in high amounts of energy that can be fired off if sent through special types of devices(namely, the bow form his Adrian's blade). The gauntlet needs to be constantly recharged and sometimes isn't all that reliable. Abilities: None. Skills: Parkour as with the state of the surface the best way to get around is sometimes just by heading in a straight line. Also has limited Mechanic skills though they were still enough for him to create his own weapons. Other: N/A Username: Maka Name: Kyle Coriva Gender: Male Age: 19 Job: Mechanic Appearance: Check out this handsome guy ;D Bio: Kyle had a knack of inventing and fixing things ever since he can remember. First, it started with taking house clocks, old computers, even his sister's blow dyer, and other machinary apart just to see how each of them worked. Then he would put them back together and made them good as new, maybe even better than before. After years of practice, he's moved up from the smaller household things to the larger things, thus beginning his dream, as well as his father's dream, to become one of the greatest inventors and mechanics of all time. That's pretty much the gist of it... or that's what he wants people to see. Spoiler He usually takes things the way they are, and does his best to subsitute missing parts... He can't do that with his twin sister though. Ever since their parents died when they were seven, and after Kyle ventured to the surface to savage his own parts when he was ten (he couldn't find the right parts to an invention) and got seriously hurt, his sister hadn't been the same. He rarely sees her, and when he does, he tries to convince her to stay a while. She never does, but it's always worth a shot. He'll support her dreams no matter what, since she's supporting his. Personality: Kyle likes company once in a while, but mostly likes to be in solitude. It gives him time to think and time to explore new ideas and possibilities. He's friendly though, despite his daunting features, and is willing to help out a friend or peer in need with what ever he can help them with. When he gets angry or frustrated, he finds himself burried in his workshop or working on something that needs fixing and won't stop until he's completely done with it or until he doesn't have the strength or energry to finish it. It's how he released his negative feelings. On days when company comes to him, he has an open ear and will listen to everyone's problems, feelings of life, anything they feel like sharing that they need to get out. It doesn't matter if it's stupid to them or anyone else to share, he'll listen no matter what. Weapon(s): Hand pistol with ten rounds, his mechanical left arm (which can turn into a knife, a plasma gun that 30 seconds to fully charge, comb, toothbrush, keys, egg beater- oh wait, those aren't weapons... >>), smoke bombs and other homemade gernades/bombs. Skills: Mechanical ninja stuff... Other: After his adventure to the surface, he lost his left arm and right leg. They've been replaced by mechanical ones, but he has a slight limp when he walks around. Username: Maka Name: Jacklyn (Jackie) Coriva Gender: Female Age: 19 Class: Berserker Appearance: She's bad ace. Bio: (It's mostly said up in Kyle's post) Spoiler After she witnessed what happened to her twin brother and the horrors of the surface, she decided right then and there it was her destiny to help to try to put an end to this madness. She worked hard to train herself for this class ever since that day, and rarely goes to the city. When she does, it's to repair her sword or to visit her brother for a breif moment. Personality: Jackie's smiles are rare, as she seen many hardships in her years as a child and as a teenager. She doesn't like people to mess with her and she's not a push over to anyone. She will act cold to those she never met until they have proved to her that she can trust them. She will save anyone that's not a ghoul in need, but she won't be cuddly to them in anyway unless they're children; she has a soft spot for them. She prefers to work alone most of the time but will work with a group if she believes she needs help or if it's required. When she can't pent up her anger inside of her or when someone pushes the wrong buttons, duck and run. Weapon(s): Broad Sword that belonged to her grandfather, and her fists (sometimes wears brass knuckles to help highten the punch.) Abilities: Rage, and flashstep Skills: Knows martial arts, thanks to her mother, so if she looses her sword at all (which is rare) then she'll resort to Judo, Ninjutsu, Kung Fu, anything that will get her out of her situation. She'll also use her brass knuckles to help bring on some serious damage. Other: She has a strange sense of style that she loves, and her companion on her lonely days is her grandfather's sword. Username: AwkwardFailure Name: Zach Gender: Male Age: 22 Class: Assassin Appearance: Spoiler Full credit to the author. Bio: Zach grew up in the underground city for as long as he could remember. For a long time he worked as a researcher, but all of the research he did just made him longing to go out to the surface. At the age of 13 he was accepted, but as he got tested to see which class would fit him best it seemed he had trouble in every area. When he was about to get sent back to researching a few weeks later at the last moment, all ready to leave, he asked for one more try, saying he'd been practicing. Turns out it was true enough, he had gotten the knife down pretty good, and he'd been working all week on stealth. They accepted him and he was overjoyed, but even though he is very trained and has been going to the surface since he was 14, it still shakes him up a little bit when Zach goes up there, although he still loves his job. Personality: Sarcastic at times, serious during work but more relaxed when underground, can't stay still, tense, shy at first, overly confident, considerate, concerned about everything, usually a quick thinker, unable to process much when in the worst of situations, very lighthearted unlike the first impression from how he looks, Weapon(s) : Knife hidden within his right boot, chain (which looks a lot like a belt) around his waist, several daggers within his sleeves. Abilities: Invisibility, slight Flashstep. Skills: Stealth, traps. Other: No going too far with that proper impatient character. Username: Twilightblader Name: Drake Gender: Male Age: 40 Job: Trainer Appearance: Spoiler Bio: Born on the surface, Drake has lived most of his life fighting against Ghouls. During his childhood he joined together with a bunch of fellow humans and struggled to survive against the brutal Ghouls. As he grew and the years passed on he was forced to watch as his allies were helplessly slaughtered. Once his final ally was slain Drake decided he had enough and charged blindly into battle, the rage of his fallen allies overwhelming his rationality. He fought off as many ghouls as he could until he was soon felled. Upon accepting his end he was suddenly saved by a group of Surface Workers and taken to the underground city. Amazed by the underground city he joined as a Surface Worker. His skills as a Berserker soon became so great he became a trainer of the Berserker class. Personality: Appears to be cold person but really has a kind side he really doesn't make an effort to really hide. He holds the safety of his allies as one of his highest priorities. People usually wonder how such a calm person can actually be a Berserker Weapon(s) : A huge broadsword almost his size and a pair of metal gauntlets Skills: Drake is very proficient with a sword and also has knowledge on martial arts which he uses in certain and beneficial situations Other: N/A Username: Master of Keyblade Name: Allen Gender: Male Age: 16 Class: Assassin Appearance: Spoiler Bio: Allen had always love to run. He never quite understood why he did but it was just something he liked to do. Most of the time he would end up going too far past the proper running distance set by his brother, and everything he did, his brother would constantly tell him no going past the limit. This went on until he decided go with him every time he left. Personality: At most time Allen is calm and collective but sometimes he can be a very impatient and reckless character. Weapon(s) : Sword, Hidden Blade Abilities: Flashstep Skills: He's quick on his feet Other: N/A Username: Maka Name: Skye Lorone Gender: Female Age: 14 Job: Thinking about medic, but undecided for now Appearance: Spoiler http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv352/wintermewgirl/Anime Girls/AnimeTattooGirlie.jpg Bio: Spoiler Skye lived with her crippled father on the surface, not having any knowledge about the city below. There were many times where she had to defend her own house from the ghouls, and she witnessed terrible things as a kid. Spoiler (Like a four year old being devored by a ghoul, and there was nothing she could do) She learned how to look after them and others who came across their path. When she was seven, one of their guests they saved betrayed them in the end, resulting in Skye's father to be killed in front of her eyes, and then she had to run for her life, leaving her little home she knew behind. Stricken by grief, Skye wandered around the city for many days, not caring what was going to happen to her as she carried her father's cane around with her. After a few days, she collasped from exhaustion and lack of food and then she didn't want to go on anymore since there was nothing to look forward to. When she woke up, she wasn't on the street where she collasped; she was in someone's rundown appartment. She never knew her rescuer, she never saw them. Food, shelter, supplies, and good clean water were provided for her. Skye never knew where it came from, but it gave her a new spark to survive another day, another year, and that's how she lived. After she figured that grieving wouldn't help anyone or herself, she got back on her feet and started to help others again. Then just recently, she got in a sticky situation and ended up being saved once again... This time, she was shown to an underground city, something she never ever knew about till now. What will happen to her next, she has no idea. She's ready to take on any challenge that comes her way though. Personality: Motherlike to all she comes across, good nature, and always tries to look on the bright side of things when things turn for the worse. She can be scared of the unknown, but she'll take a step in it if it's required of her. She tends to not think of her own happiness and focuses on everyone else around her, which can be her downfall. Those who she grows close to, she grows very loyal to. Skye has a determind spirit that she got from her father, and will fight for her life or anyone else's if it's required, or not, of her. Some may say she's naiive from time to time due to her innocent behavior and cheery nature, but there's more inside of her than she lets anyone on. Weapon: Cane with a hidden sword, belonged to her father Skills: Has knowledge of how to stop severe bleeding, how to clean and dress wounds, how to nurse someone who's been starving for a long time back to health, and she has a calm aura about her that seems to calm those she's working on so they can relax and not go into shock. She also has a knowledge how to care for the sick, no matter the illness, and she can pick out the cause of different accidents. For example, if someone's arm was scratch, she can tell if it was from rubbing against something rough, or if it was caused from someone (or something). Other: She got her tattoo in memory of her father and mother, and her flower hairclip belonged to her mother. Her dad never told her what happened to her mom, she just knew she wasn't there. Username: Monochrome Name: Shino Gender: Male Age: 16 Job: Wanna-be Researcher (I find myself hitting myself for being stereotypical here.) Appearance: Spoiler Bio: If it were not for his father and mother he would of been eaten alive as a baby or small child. But they somehow managed to bring him up to his teens. They saw how innocent he was despite being born on the surface and witnessing several violent deaths. They wished more people would be like this and had the naive thoughts that if it were to come to be the world would be peaceful again. But before getting to see that happen they were killed in front of their son's eyes. He managed to escape, but after the adrenaline faded he didn't know what to do. He just wished to die. That is when he met Skye. She helped him with his wounds, but he was more impressed by just how friendly and seemingly unaffected by of what was happening. And then she was braver than he was yet younger. He made it his goal to return the favor of her saving his life in every possible way and decided to follow her and her group around. Personality: Easily flustered and when he is embarrassed her becomes one of the biggest klutz ever. Otherwise he can be quite serious and focused. Strives to learn everyone he can and simply loves learning new stuff. Also, will freeze up if he sees death or even just some blood. Weapon(s) : Was given a gun when he first came down but has no idea how to use it and hasn't touched it since being shown his new home and putting it (very carefully) down on the nearest table. Skills: Besides researching and things to do with computers? Nothing. Other: Username: Monochrome Name: Daemon Gender: Female Age: Ten Job: Undecided. Since she is younger she only has to agree to work at some point in her life though. Appearance: When normal the red markings on her face doesn't show and her eyes are blue. Spoiler Bio: Like most people like her, her parents were killed less than a year after she was born by demons and she was then raised by the people who killed them. She does not know this though, and thinks she is perfectly normal. However, since being taken by the demons she has been feeding on Ghoul meat and drinking demon blood, making her something less than human. When the rp starts she was on her first hunt alone when Jacklyn saw her eating the remains of a freshly killed Ghoul. Thinking Jacklyn was someone on her side she followed without question, as she was taught to do so, but is now confused and wishes to return to her normal home, though she will not say anything on the matter. Personality: Seems to be in a trance most of the time but when she snaps out of it she can be very rude and seeks verbal fights with everyone. Seems to be scared of the underground city. Weapon(s) : She has claws and sharp teeth in her demonic form Skills: Knows how to somewhat fight but nothing else really. Other: She has mild healing abilities, a demonic form, and slight sensory powers. Also, she is not apart of the group that was described in the intro. Username: Of Pride And Other Things Name: Samuel "Hawkeye" Corinx Gender: Male Age: 20 Class: Assassin-I promise that it's not like the others, though! Appearance: Bio: He was born in the underground city with his peculiar ocular tools. The things were heterochromic (probably due to his mother's drinking, but that was just his idea) and very, very strange. Instead of a deficit, they always seemed to make him more...adept and finding things. He was never the most athletic kid, the strongest, though he always could do well in baseball and basketball and stuff. It wasn't a surprise to his parents when the child, who had taken up archery, asked their honor to become a Surface Worker. He's often far removed from many of the dangers others have, like the Scouts, though exposed to more, in a way; he's frequently completely alone when he's out in the field, with a weapon that doesn't really funtion well at close ranges. Still, he can hold his own. Now, he's a must-have and a close friend of many that live in the city because of his excellent powers of a scout and also of an overwatch guard to make sure that things don't go wrong. Personality: He's loyal. He'll stick with anyone that he likes, and he has met some people that he most certainly likes. He will show direct favortism, going with his friends rather than with someone else who's offering to pay him in some fashion to his services. Weapon(s) : Modified Sniper Rifle-Equipped with a variable zoom scope with an infared and normal setting. He's good friends with the mechanics, and this is how they pay him for his guarding while they salvage for stuff in the surface. Attack Gloves- These gloves are plated with metal salvaged from the strongest of machines; this adds a lot of 'umf' to his punches, and also allows him to employ something that's not necessarily able to be used-his next weapon. Razor Wire- This silent but deadly weapon is nearly invisible. About as thick as a piano wire, this ultra-strong wire is hidden in his gloves. He can extend it by gripping a steel fork on his left hand (where his palm is) and pulling it with his right hand-razor wire emerges, and it can extend up to six feet. He often uses this as his close-combat weapon of choice and is extremely adept with it. Sickle and Knife A sharpened sickle and blade he keeps tied around his waist. These are more for field work than anything, though he can use them as a weapon if he really needs to. Abilities: Steady Heart, Steady Aim- Sam can hold his breath and slow his heartbeat for up to a minute, rendering his hands free from any wavering or movement and ensure exact aim. This also applies to a gradual and repeated slowing of his metabolism. Sniper's Bones- He can, for a period of up to about ten seconds, make his bones extremely hard to withstand the recoil of a sniper shot or an extremely hard fall/punch to his body. If he only does it in a certain area (his breastplate and shoulder, for example, when firing) he can do it multiple times in a row and not be drained. As for surviving a fall, he'll put so much energy into it such a large feat won't be possible for another day or so. Fight or Flight- When his sniper rifle's ringing out, he'll get found eventually. Because of this, he's extremely fast and flexible whether in a fight or escaping from one that he knows that he can't win. When he does fight, though, he's almost blindingly fast in his movements and makes up for his lack of brute stregnth with this. Skills: Extremely good eyesight and stamina. He can go for days without eating or drinking on the surface if he really needs to by shutting down a lot of his metabolism. He doesn't need to be lightning fast when he's sniping, anyway; he can rev himself back up with a high-protein bar and some mental concentration. He's also an excellent scavanger, and expert and finding food among the ruins of supermarkets and finding resources around corpses and reusing various materials. Other: He has an accent reminiscient of French Canada. Blame his family's heritage. Username: Kayate Name: Kayate Kotain Gender: Male Age: 17 Class: Assassin Appearance: Bio: Born on the surface, Kayate and his father were the only two left of their family. Traveling the desolate land, his father protecting them against any and all adversaries. His father attempted to teach him the ways of an assassin, even though he himself was a simple warrior. Neither had ever been to the underground city, while the two of them trained together incase of an impending attack, they were merged with a party of other survivors. At seven years old, his father was killed by several Ghouls. Seeing this occur, the young Kayate realized how cruel the world could be, more so when the party that accompanied him abandoned him, using him to distract the ghouls. He had barely escaped with the Flash Step technique that his father had tried to teach him for his whole life, once regaining himself after this, began to hone his skills as an assassin. His fate for humanity destroyed, traveled alone, using his abilities to hide, evade, or defeat the Ghouls pursuing him. At 16, he discovered the underground city, staying inside to occasionally rest and take food, he usually stayed outside. Personality: Very secluded, keeping himself in isolation. He's a bit cold to anyone whom discovers his existence, but won't hesitate to kill anything threatening anyone he may befriend. Weapon(s) : A Hidden Blade under his right wrist, hidden by his sleeve. A sword that he rarely uses, a poison inject hidden under his left wrist, which works similarly to the Hidden Blade, and a set of shuriken in a pouch at his waist. Abilities: Flash Step, Invisibility, Shape Shifting (animal), Elemental Control (Fire) Skills: Swordskill, dexterity, speed, and he has a knack at creating new weapons if needed Other:
I do. I really do. It's like... *happyhappyjoyjoyspazzomgiarenoobweeeeee* *omgslitslitslitiaresoemo* *insanelaughhereplease* *andnowiareinfoulmoodandwishtohiteveryoneisee* etc. Not always in that order of course. And sometimes I may be one of them for a whole day, or switch within seconds. I got it mostly under control. I just needed to get that out. Ignore this thread if you wish. (I would actually prefer it if you do.)
Apparently Jayn has been rubbing off on me. Must have graphics in this. ><" Though I am not as good as she is. I have had this dream for ages now and at some point in my life it shall become a game. MMO probably. Maybe. Post if you're interested and what you would want to be. Make sure to check for updates often! Introduction Cloaked in black we ran through the streets of the desolate ruins which was once a great city.Sweat was on our brows and fear raised in our hearts, and though we knew we were probably going to die soon we continued to run.So...is this really it? Am I going to die today...?We were in the middle of the street when suddenly these monsters, Ghouls as we call them, came from out of the buildings to either side and suddenly another group of them were in front of us. We stopped in our tracks and turned around to run back the way we came but the group which had started chasing us in the first place was there.So this really was the end...We stood back to back, trying to protect the other but ready to die ourselves.“Brother... Is this...†Teary eyes.No replies.But just as we were ready to go someone appeared before us. Four people in fact, one to every side.One used great grace, one used brute strength, one used perfect strategy, and the last one fought with various weapons.Within seconds all of the Ghouls had been slain. And though we wished to thank the ones who saved us we knew it best to just follow them as they started to run down the street.“Are you two okay?†The graceful one asked.We nod, assuring her that we were.We ran for about a mile before reaching a once beautiful neighborhood, going inside the most busted down house. In the back room of the house there was a staircase, which had its entrance hidden behind a bookcase. And then in the basement there was a trapdoor which hid yet another staircase.Hidden passages...strange people... Just where were we going?Either way, we knew it was best to follow. Even if we were being led to our deaths at least we would not become Ghouls. That was worse than the most horrific death we could imagine.There was a series of tunnels following that and we would reach a secured door every now and then. Once we were beyond tired did we finally reach an elevator.It was in the strangest of places, in the wall of the cave, and looked rusted. And yet...we never felt safer once inside.Finally the graceful one spoke again.“You have to make a choice, within a week's time.†She said, her voice rough with past hardships yet still elegant in a way. “No one can live in this city unless they work.â€â€œCity?†Just as we questioned it, a city came into view through the bars which kept us from falling out of the elevator. “There are various jobs, but only two main groups.†She continues, ignoring us as we gawked at the glorious city, which seemed to stretch on for miles. It probably looked like how the city on the surface did back in its prime. “City Workers and Surface Workers.â€The elevator reached the bottom and jolted from the slight impact. As we tumbled out the other four had no problem staying steady.“Their names should be pretty self explanatory. You'd either be working down here as something like a medic, or Surface Workers like us. And as you can tell, it is our job to save anyone up top while also finding anything useful to bring back here. So which is? Staying here? Or you gonna take your chances up top?†She grinned a cocky grin, probably already knowing our answers. Summary Group of kids [some blood related while others are a part of the makeshift family for the reason that they have to stick together to live] get saved by the four people described, which are the four classes which can be picked for Surface Workers. Work in the city or get out. Have a week to choose. And in the mean time you will be provided with a place to stay and all that jazz. May be taught some things by the people there. And once you pick a job you'd be given a teacher. Background Story With all of Earth's advances in medicine and technology the human race was nowhere near prepared for the virus which plague their kind. This was because it was not a virus, it was a curse. This curse turned humans into Ghouls, a more fiendish type of zombies, and opened the gates of Hell so that demons may once again roam the earth. It started in major cities, but soon overtook the entire world. Billions of people were killed. There were those who managed to live however, and they started to build an underground city where they were safe from the surface horrors. They try to relearn their forgotten history of the surface world as they fight for survival everyday. NPCs Considering how these are my second, third, and fourth ever OCs (with some updates and different names) I decided to make them NPCs which I will control every now and then instead of Pre-Roles. Elizabeth Having been born in the underground city, the twenty-five year-old Elizabeth had the choice of never seeing a Ghoul her entire life. But ever since her parents were killed by them when she was only four she picked up a sword and demanded to be trained. She chose to be a Berserker and soon become one of the best in her class. It is hard to earn her respect or even to get her to talk to you, as she finds herself too busy to socialize, but somehow the three in her team have her utmost respect, especially Alice, whom she shall follow without question. What she lacks in grace and intelligence she makes up in brute strength and endurance. And like all trained Berserkers she can go into a rage that makes herself even stronger, but due to the lack of self-control in said rage she uses this stage only as a last resort. Kathrine Having been born mute no one knows much about the twenty-two year old Kathrine. The majority of people only know that she lived on the surface for most of her life before being saved by Alice and Elizabeth and brought down to the city. But by then she was already a skilled fighter and able to use a large assortment of weapons, though not mastering any of them fully. She belongs to no fighting class. Somehow, maybe by not speaking, she has learned to communicate telepathically though only does so often with her team. Otherwise she only 'speaks' to people when needed. And despite her mature appearance she has been known to make very sarcastic and foul remarks. Kiki Despite her young age(19), Kiki is one of the best Scouts in the underground city. Though she is often looked down on and lectured due to her childish behavior and the fact she loves pulling pranks. But while on the surface she takes on a different persona and becomes totally serious and focused; for the most part anyway. And it'd be hard for anyone who haven't seen her in action to tell, but she has an extremely high IQ and makes strategies that could bring down an entire city. She is the weakest in her group, but easily the fastest. She can also make maps mentally and show them to others through some telepathy skill (which is rare even among Scouts), and sense things and people within a two mile radius. [Maka will be controlling her for me.] Classes These are only some of the classes. Feel free to request one that is not listed below. Like ranger, warrior, etc. Classless Though they do not master in any weapons or skills, and are thought to be the weakest, they have a range of various skills and can use any weapon available to them. And because of this they tend not to have a preferred style and thus becoming quite unpredictable in battle and a worthy adversary. Assassin One of great stealth and grace. They can sneak around anywhere and bring quick deaths to all they face. Will often have hidden weapons and at least basic poison knowledge. Berserker Definitely among the strongest of classes, if not the strongest. Normally wield large swords or maybe even use their fists only. And after vigorous training they become able to activate a state of rage that makes them even stronger, but they lose a lot of control while in this state. Scout There are not many Scouts as to be one, one has to have some sort of sensory powers, which are rare and impossible to learn above a natural level. So due to their rarity they are often given special privileges and excused for many mistakes or troubles they may cause. Typically they can create a mental map of the area around them, but to be able to show that map like Kiki can is a rare skill. Jobs These are only some of the jobs. Feel free to request one that is not listed below. Trainer Probably one of the most important jobs in the city. It is their job to teach people whichever class they desire (though it has happened when one trainer denied a student) so they can then work on the surface. These are retired fighters who no longer visit the surface as if they do and they are killed it may take some time to replace them, thus the possibility of a class ending altogether comes about. Researcher It is their job to research the many things that Surface Workers will bring back to the city and learn what it means. They can then pass what they learn on to others and are a vital part of the city's workings. Medic Since it is very likely that Surface Workers will come back injured there are many Medics in the underground city. It is their job to heal all that come their way, whether they wish to or not. Caretaker/Teacher While these are separate jobs, normally when one is one of them they are also the other so sometimes people consider them to be the same job. It the Caretakers' job to watch over and protect the children whose parents are either currently on the surface or dead. (And there are many orphans.) The Teachers' job is to teach them the basics of living in the city, the history of the surface and how they came to live underground, and possibly even some basics of fighting classes and jobs, but never any actual fighting. More so in the fundamentals and such. Mechanic They take what the Surface Workers and Researchers bring to them and make stuff out of them. And despite their job name they work on things other than just machines, such as guns and swords. But each have their specialty. Setting It is a post-apocalyptic time. When the city was built they call that Year 0. It is currently Month 1 Day 12 Year 100. Will be mostly in the Underground City (especially starting off) but then there will be a lot of time spent on the surface. The rp starts the day after the kids arrived at the city. The very next morning. Updates As of May 2nd, 2011 - Now accepting profiles. List of possible abilities added. More info on Rage and Flashstep added to the list of Allowed Abilities.

Also, if you are Classes then you may have any (unless it says a specific class only) so long as you do not go other the limit and you can only have mastered an ability if your character has only one. -Healing (Doesn't fits any of the currently listed classes, but add in a 'healer' class (which will be rare among people) or might even fit a Ranger or something. Unsure currently.) -Rage (The Berserker ability. They are they ONLY class that can use it. Normally it can be only triggered when really mad but skilled people can trigger it whenever. It simply makes them stronger than an average human and heightened senses) -Telepathy (No set class, but is a rare ability.) -Telekinesis (Same as telepathy.) -Sensory Abilities (For scouts mainly, other classes like assassin can also have this but it'd be much weaker than Scouts') -Shape shifting (Going to be extremely rare and only change into other human forms or animals.

Assassins mainly.) Skeletons For Surface Workers: Username: Name: Gender: Age: Class: Appearance: Bio: Personality: Weapon(s) : If any. Must fit with their class Abilities: If any. Must belong to their class. Four max. Skills: Natural skills. Other: For City Workers: Username: Name: Gender: Age: Job: Appearance: Bio: Personality: Weapon(s) : Even though they are not fighters everyone tends to have some weapon to defend themselves just in case something were to happen. Skills: Must relate to their job. Other: Accepted Characters Spoiler Username: Monochrome Name: Alice Gender: Female Age: 21 Class: Assassin Appearance: Spoiler Bio: Like most everyone who has been born on the surface life was hard. Though no one knows exactly how she lived before coming down to the underground city. She was found barley alive by a group of Surface Workers and they brought the ten year old back with them to the city. She barley made it, but was able to pull through. Ever since then though she hasn't been able the see perfectly, though thanks to her abilities she's never had much trouble finding her way around. The injuries she had made her forget most of her past. Personality: Tries to be friendly and helpful as possible while she'd really just like to ignore everyone and fight till she drops. Is often on the surface, but due to an injury acquired a little before saving the kids from the intro she must stay underground for a while. Weapon(s) : Hidden blades that pop up from her sleeves when she thrusts her arms down, a dagger strapped to her leg, and wire. Abilities: Mild Healing and can sense things up to two feet away, and invisibility. Also, when in in danger or extreme anger she can change forms. More on this later. Skills: Poison making, traps making, stealth, quick kills. Other: Username: Monochrome Name: Shino Gender: Male Age: 16 Job: Wanna-be Researcher (I find myself hitting myself for being stereotypical here.) Appearance: Spoiler Bio: If it were not for his father and mother he would of been eaten alive as a baby or small child. But they somehow managed to bring him up to his teens. They saw how innocent he was despite being born on the surface and witnessing several violent deaths. They wished more people would be like this and had the naive thoughts that if it were to come to be the world would be peaceful again. But before getting to see that happen they were killed in front of their son's eyes. He managed to escape, but after the adrenaline faded he didn't know what to do. He just wished to die. That is when he met Skye. She helped him with his wounds, but he was more impressed by just how friendly and seemingly unaffected by of what was happening. And then she was braver than he was yet younger. He made it his goal to return the favor of her saving his life in every possible way and decided to follow her and her group around. Personality: Easily flustered and when he is embarrassed her becomes one of the biggest klutz ever. Otherwise he can be quite serious and focused. Strives to learn everyone he can and simply loves learning new stuff. Also, will freeze up if he sees death or even just some blood. Weapon(s) : Was given a gun when he first came down but has no idea how to use it and hasn't touched it since being shown his new home and putting it (very carefully) down on the nearest table. Skills: Besides researching and things to do with computers? Nothing. Other: Username: Monochrome Name: Daemon Gender: Female Age: Ten Job: Undecided. Since she is younger she only has to agree to work at some point in her life though. Appearance: When normal the red markings on her face doesn't show and her eyes are blue. Spoiler Bio: Like most people like her, her parents were killed less than a year after she was born by demons and she was then raised by the people who killed them.

Other: She has mild healing abilities, a demonic form, and slight sensory powers. Also, she is not apart of the group that was described in the intro. Username: Terra Name: Adrian Gender: Male Age: 23 Class: Classless Appearance: http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii45/ArchAwesome1/snow.jpg Bio: Adrian never truly wanted to be working on the surface. He started off first as a Mechanic but after just a year he got sick of it and, on a whim, headed out onto the surface with a Researcher who wished to study something on the surface. The two went with a small group of Surface Workers who acted as their escorts. Adrian felt invigorated when he finally left the Underground City but his moment of happiness soon ended when the group was soon ambushed by a hoard of beasts. The only two who survived were Adrian and the "Classless" who was with them. Impressed by the skills his companion had, Adrian immediately followed in his footsteps and did everything he could to ready himself to be just as prepared when he would finally become a Surface Worker. It has been five years since that day and Adrian has not regretted his decision since. Personality: No going too far with that proper impatient character. Adrian is a highly curious person and a brighter mind that one would think he is given his own "Classless" class. He's defensive when it comes to comments about his weapons as he had designed them himself. He does have a rather large problem with heading into dangerous situations just to satisfy his own curiosity and is often sidetracked by just about anything that can catch his attention. Weapons: Owns a blade that changes into six other forms(spear, chain, bow, axe, shield, and it can split into two short swords) and uses a gauntlet that store in high amounts of energy that can be fired off if sent through special types of devices(namely, the bow form his Adrian's blade). The gauntlet needs to be constantly recharged and sometimes isn't all that reliable. Abilities: None. Skills: Parkour as with the state of the surface the best way to get around is sometimes just by heading in a straight line. Also has limited Mechanic skills though they were still enough for him to create his own weapons. Other: N/A Username: Maka Name: Kyle Coriva Gender: Male Age: 19 Job: Mechanic Appearance: Check out this handsome guy ;D Bio: Kyle had a knack of inventing and fixing things ever since he can remember. First, it started with taking house clocks, old computers, even his sister's blow dyer, and other machinary apart just to see how each of them worked. Then he would put them back together and made them good as new, maybe even better than before. After years of practice, he's moved up from the smaller household things to the larger things, thus beginning his dream, as well as his father's dream, to become one of the greatest inventors and mechanics of all time. That's pretty much the gist of it... or that's what he wants people to see. Spoiler He usually takes things the way they are, and does his best to subsitute missing parts... He can't do that with his twin sister though. Ever since their parents died when they were seven, and after Kyle ventured to the surface to savage his own parts when he was ten (he couldn't find the right parts to an invention) and got seriously hurt, his sister hadn't been the same. He rarely sees her, and when he does, he tries to convince her to stay a while. She never does, but it's always worth a shot. He'll support her dreams no matter what, since she's supporting his. Personality: Kyle likes company once in a while, but mostly likes to be in solitude. It gives him time to think and time to explore new ideas and possibilities. He's friendly though, despite his daunting features, and is willing to help out a friend or peer in need with what ever he can help them with. When he gets angry or frustrated, he finds himself burried in his workshop or working on something that needs fixing and won't stop until he's completely done with it or until he doesn't have the strength or energry to finish it. It's how he released his negative feelings. On days when company comes to him, he has an open ear and will listen to everyone's problems, feelings of life, anything they feel like sharing that they need to get out. It doesn't matter if it's stupid to them or anyone else to share, he'll listen no matter what. Weapon(s): Hand pistol with ten rounds, his mechanical left arm (which can turn into a knife, a plasma gun that 30 seconds to fully charge, comb, toothbrush, keys, egg beater- oh wait, those aren't weapons... >>), smoke bombs and other homemade gernades/bombs. Skills: Mechanical ninja stuff... Other: After his adventure to the surface, he lost his left arm and right leg. They've been replaced by mechanical ones, but he has a slight limp when he walks around. Username: Maka Name: Jacklyn (Jackie) Coriva Gender: Female Age: 19 Class: Berserker Appearance: She's bad ace. Bio: (It's mostly said up in Kyle's post) Spoiler After she witnessed what happened to her twin brother and the horrors of the surface, she decided right then and there it was her destiny to help to try to put an end to this madness. She worked hard to train herself for this class ever since that day, and rarely goes to the city. When she does, it's to repair her sword or to visit her brother for a breif moment. Personality: Jackie's smiles are rare, as she seen many hardships in her years as a child and as a teenager. She doesn't like people to mess with her and she's not a push over to anyone. She will act cold to those she never met until they have proved to her that she can trust them. She will save anyone that's not a ghoul in need, but she won't be cuddly to them in anyway unless they're children; she has a soft spot for them. She prefers to work alone most of the time but will work with a group if she believes she needs help or if it's required. When she can't pent up her anger inside of her or when someone pushes the wrong buttons, duck and run. Weapon(s): Broad Sword that belonged to her grandfather, and her fists (sometimes wears brass knuckles to help highten the punch.) Abilities: Rage, and flashstep Skills: Knows martial arts, thanks to her mother, so if she looses her sword at all (which is rare) then she'll resort to Judo, Ninjutsu, Kung Fu, anything that will get her out of her situation. She'll also use her brass knuckles to help bring on some serious damage. Other: She has a strange sense of style that she loves, and her companion on her lonely days is her grandfather's sword. Username: AwkwardFailure Name: Zach Gender: Male Age: 22 Class: Assassin Appearance: Spoiler Full credit to the author. Bio: Zach grew up in the underground city for as long as he could remember. For a long time he worked as a researcher, but all of the research he did just made him longing to go out to the surface. At the age of 13 he was accepted, but as he got tested to see which class would fit him best it seemed he had trouble in every area. When he was about to get sent back to researching a few weeks later at the last moment, all ready to leave, he asked for one more try, saying he'd been practicing. Turns out it was true enough, he had gotten the knife down pretty good, and he'd been working all week on stealth. They accepted him and he was overjoyed, but even though he is very trained and has been going to the surface since he was 14, it still shakes him up a little bit when Zach goes up there, although he still loves his job. Personality: Sarcastic at times, serious during work but more relaxed when underground, can't stay still, tense, shy at first, overly confident, considerate, concerned about everything, usually a quick thinker, unable to process much when in the worst of situations, very lighthearted unlike the first impression from how he looks, Weapon(s) : Knife hidden within his right boot, chain (which looks a lot like a belt) around his waist, several daggers within his sleeves. Abilities: Invisibility, slight Flashstep. Skills: Stealth, traps. Other: No going too far with that proper impatient character. Username: Twilightblader Name: Drake Gender: Male Age: 40 Job: Trainer Appearance: Spoiler Bio: Born on the surface, Drake has lived most of his life fighting against Ghouls. During his childhood he joined together with a bunch of fellow humans and struggled to survive against the brutal Ghouls. As he grew and the years passed on he was forced to watch as his allies were helplessly slaughtered. Once his final ally was slain Drake decided he had enough and charged blindly into battle, the rage of his fallen allies overwhelming his rationality. He fought off as many ghouls as he could until he was soon felled. Upon accepting his end he was suddenly saved by a group of Surface Workers and taken to the underground city. Amazed by the underground city he joined as a Surface Worker. His skills as a Berserker soon became so great he became a trainer of the Berserker class. Personality: Appears to be cold person but really has a kind side he really doesn't make an effort to really hide. He holds the safety of his allies as one of his highest priorities. People usually wonder how such a calm person can actually be a Berserker Weapon(s) : A huge broadsword almost his size and a pair of metal gauntlets Skills: Drake is very proficient with a sword and also has knowledge on martial arts which he uses in certain and beneficial situations Other: N/A Username: Master of Keyblade Name: Allen Gender: Male Age: 16 Class: Assassin Appearance: Spoiler Bio: Allen had always love to run. He never quite understood why he did but it was just something he liked to do. Most of the time he would end up going too far past the proper running distance set by his brother, and everything he did, his brother would constantly tell him no going past the limit. This went on until he decided go with him every time he left. Personality: At most time Allen is calm and collective but sometimes he can be a very impatient and reckless character. Weapon(s) : Sword, Hidden Blade Abilities: Flashstep Skills: He's quick on his feet Other: N/A Username: Maka Name: Skye Lorone Gender: Female Age: 14 Job: Thinking about medic, but undecided for now Appearance: Spoiler http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv352/wintermewgirl/Anime Girls/AnimeTattooGirlie.jpg Bio: Spoiler Skye lived with her crippled father on the surface, not having any knowledge about the city below. There were many times where she had to defend her own house from the ghouls, and she witnessed terrible things as a kid. Spoiler (Like a four year old being devored by a ghoul, and there was nothing she could do) She learned how to look after them and others who came across their path. When she was seven, one of their guests they saved betrayed them in the end, resulting in Skye's father to be killed in front of her eyes, and then she had to run for her life, leaving her little home she knew behind. Stricken by grief, Skye wandered around the city for many days, not caring what was going to happen to her as she carried her father's cane around with her. After a few days, she collasped from exhaustion and lack of food and then she didn't want to go on anymore since there was nothing to look forward to. When she woke up, she wasn't on the street where she collasped; she was in someone's rundown appartment. She never knew her rescuer, she never saw them. Food, shelter, supplies, and good clean water were provided for her. Skye never knew where it came from, but it gave her a new spark to survive another day, another year, and that's how she lived. After she figured that grieving wouldn't help anyone or herself, she got back on her feet and started to help others again. Then just recently, she got in a sticky situation and ended up being saved once again... This time, she was shown to an underground city, something she never ever knew about till now. What will happen to her next, she has no idea. She's ready to take on any challenge that comes her way though. Personality: Motherlike to all she comes across, good nature, and always tries to look on the bright side of things when things turn for the worse. She can be scared of the unknown, but she'll take a step in it if it's required of her. She tends to not think of her own happiness and focuses on everyone else around her, which can be her downfall. Those who she grows close to, she grows very loyal to. Skye has a determined spirit that she got from her father, and will fight for her life or anyone else's if it's required, or not, of her. Some may say she's naiive from time to time due to her innocent behavior and cheery nature, but there's more inside of her than she lets anyone on. Weapon: Cane with a hidden sword, belonged to her father Skills: Has knowledge of how to stop severe bleeding, how to clean and dress wounds, how to nurse someone who's been starving for a long time back to health, and she has a calm aura about her that seems to calm those she's working on so they can relax and not go into shock. She also has a knowledge how to care for the sick, no matter the illness, and she can pick out the cause of different accidents. For example, if someone's arm was scratch, she can tell if it was from rubbing against something rough, or if it was caused from someone (or something). Other: She got her tattoo in memory of her father and mother, and her flower hairclip belonged to her mother. Her dad never told her what happened to her mom, she just knew she wasn't there. Username: Of Pride And Other Things Name: Samuel "Hawkeye" Corinx Gender: Male Age: 20 Class: Assassin-I promise that it's not like the others, though! Appearance: Bio: He was born in the underground city with his peculiar ocular tools. The things were heterochromic (probably due to his mother's drinking, but that was just his idea) and very, very strange. Instead of a deficit, they always seemed to make him more...adept and finding things. He was never the most athletic kid, the strongest, though he always could do well in baseball and basketball and stuff. It wasn't a surprise to his parents when the child, who had taken up archery, asked their honor to become a Surface Worker. He's often far removed from many of the dangers others have, like the Scouts, though exposed to more, in a way; he's frequently completely alone when he's out in the field, with a weapon that doesn't really funtion well at close ranges. Still, he can hold his own. Now, he's a must-have and a close friend of many that live in the city because of his excellent powers of a scout and also of an overwatch guard to make sure that things don't go wrong. Personality: He's loyal. He'll stick with anyone that he likes, and he has met some people that he most certainly likes. He will show direct favortism, going with his friends rather than with someone else who's offering to pay him in some fashion to his services. Weapon(s) : Modified Sniper Rifle-Equipped with a variable zoom scope with an infared and normal setting. He's good friends with the mechanics, and this is how they pay him for his guarding while they salvage for stuff in the surface. Attack Gloves- These gloves are plated with metal salvaged from the strongest of machines; this adds a lot of 'umf' to his punches, and also allows him to employ something that's not necessarily able to be used-his next weapon. Razor Wire- This silent but deadly weapon is nearly invisible. About as thick as a piano wire, this ultra-strong wire is hidden in his gloves. He can extend it by gripping a steel fork on his left hand (where his palm is) and pulling it with his right hand-razor wire emerges, and it can extend up to six feet. He often uses this as his close-combat weapon of choice and is extremely adept with it. Sickle and Knife A sharpened sickle and blade he keeps tied around his waist. These are more for field work than anything, though he can use them as a weapon if he really needs to. Abilities: Steady Heart, Steady Aim- Sam can hold his breath and slow his heartbeat for up to a minute, rendering his hands free from any wavering or movement and ensure exact aim. This also applies to a gradual and repeated slowing of his metabolism. Sniper's Bones- He can, for a period of up to about ten seconds, make his bones extremely hard to withstand the recoil of a sniper shot or an extremely hard fall/punch to his body. If he only does it in a certain area (his breastplate and shoulder, for example, when firing) he can do it multiple times in a row and not be drained. As for surviving a fall, he'll put so much energy into it such a large feat won't be possible for another day or so. Fight or Flight- When his sniper rifle's ringing out, he'll get found eventually. Because of this, he's extremely fast and flexible whether in a fight or escaping from one that he knows that he can't win. When he does fight, though, he's almost blindingly fast in his movements and makes up for his lack of brute stregnth with this. Skills: Extremely good eyesight and stamina. He can go for days without eating or drinking on the surface if he really needs to by shutting down a lot of his metabolism. He doesn't need to be lightning fast when he's sniping, anyway; he can rev himself back up with a high-protein bar and some mental concentration. He's also an excellent scavanger, and expert and finding food among the ruins of supermarkets and finding resources around corpses and reusing various materials. Other: He has an accent reminiscient of French Canada. Blame his family's heritage. Username: Popipon Name: Luke Harmonia Gender: Male Age: 17 Job: Mechanic Appearance: Clicky Here~ Bio: Luke grew up on the surface at first, but with how dangerous it's been lately, his parents decided to migrant underground with a lot of other folks. After settling down in their new home, Luke's parents decided to take a jobs. His father became one of the Assassins and his mother became a Medic. Sadly, the father of the family barely shows around and there was a rumor for awhile the he died. Luke and his mother aren't exactly sure if he's dad is alive anymore. However, the Harmonia family is all about positive energy, so they remain happy and optimistic even in the worse of times. When Luke's mom felt like her son was old enough, she let him get a job. Sadly, she didn't want him to get a job that consisted of him to be up on surface, so he became a mechanic. He loved to take things apart, and then re-build them or make something of his own. Therefore, being a mechanic was just perfect. Personality: Luke has a dissociative identity disorder. Pretty much, that's when someone shows more than one identities or personalities. One personality, which is the one usually shown, is his optimistic, creative, sociable and friendly side. He usually shows that side more than the other one, which appears just about every blue moon. The other Luke is a more solitary kind of guy. He's mean, cocky, and likes to show off. He always replies to people with some sort of attitude in his tone of voice, even if the other person is being nice to him. This other side is way too serious of a guy. Weapon(s): A metal bat that he made himself when he first worked for the mechanics. Skills: He can easily take things apart, then quickly think of what use the item could be in his mind. Sadly, putting it together does take him a bit of time. Other: The cube key-chain that's attached to his pants was something his dad made for him before leaving. It's very precious to him. You'll have a choice from the kids or someone already living in the city. Mainly trainers as they will be needed. [I will make any left over which we'll may need.]
Ever since making this into my wallpaper earlier today I have gotten distracted by it several times. Disclaimer: The artwork is not mine. I just find it friggen adorable and easier to link you instead of getting screenshot. I am very lazy.
So, when canned replies came out I started to use Firefox for them. And just recently did I upgrade to 4. And, omg, they have KHR themes. Bel. Is so hot. *spazzflailsdies* alsoamlovingthespellcheckfeature
Has been depressed to the point where they are suicidal recently. Or, if not, they have either been very moody or pissed off, like, all of the time. What is it with people these days =/ Even I have been such, but I have bipolar disorder so it is expect of me. :'D
