[quote name='Lunox][color=dimgray']But when Asians dye their hair blonde, it possibly looks worse than than the pale skin/black hair combo. [/color][/quote][size=1][color=#8B008B]Haha, you're telling me. Usually it's the gold-digging whoring Asians that tend to dye their hairs. It's sad really but then again I shouldn't be saying that since my friend dyes her hair blonde and she's no gold-digging whore. But still, it's ridiculous how Asian women will go to great lengths just to dye their hair. *shakes head* Somehow I'm ashamed to call myself Asian.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]Dang, Lunox. You beat me to it. I was in the midst of translating when I got sucked into watching Korean drama. But, anyways I concur what Lunox translated. As for the sentence that Lunox found hard to read said something like "Thanks for talking to me." or something like that. Like Lunox, I speak both Korean and English, usually combining the two to speak Konglish. I also finished my fourth year of Spanish and my first year of Japanese. Apparently people think I should take a linguists class in college. Anyways, my first language is Korean and English is my second language. I'm fluent in both; I can read and speak Korean but when I write Korean, it looks a lot like a chicken scratch. I bounced around Korean Language Schools but I never graduated. I kind of regret it but I've got the rest of my life ahead so, it doesn't really matter much. As for translating, I've done that a few times for my mother if my father wasn't with her. I also translated a few times for some Korean exchange students who I've befriended. But other than that, I haven't done much. That's my language life story. I think I might continue learning Spanish and Japanese in college, and take a Korean language class as well. I'm also thinking of beginning Latin and Chinese. [Wow, don't I sound like an overachiever? >_

[size=1][color=#8B008B]I know this is a bit late to say this but I just noticed that 2007DigitalBoy's colors don't match up with Ozy's image. I'm not savvy with artistic stuff so I might be wrong but...yeah. Just thought I'd point that out. Carry on.[/size][/color]

[QUOTE=Andrew][SIZE=1] "Who's teh best-er-est!?" [NOTE: Not really sure where black-haired people fit in on this *Shrugs*][/SIZE][/QUOTE][quote name='indifference][COLOR=Indigo']It's simple...we're better than those silly Blondes and Brunettes. :p [/COLOR][/quote][size=1][B]BLACK-HAIR[/B] [color=#8B008B]FTW! On a serious note [or perhaps lack thereof], the reason why black-haired people aren't mixed into that whole "Blondes VS Brunettes" argument is because we don't need to feel we have to compare ourselves to other people in terms of our hair color. We know we look good and we know what our strengths are, and besides like Indifference said, "It's what's under that color and in the space between the ears that matter." As for hair colour on a guy, I don't really care. They could have the colours of the rainbow on their head for all I care. For me, it's all about eye colour, not hair colour.[/size][/color]

[size=1][B]OOC:[/B] Glad to see this thing up and running. Why don?t we make this one hell of a kick-start to a hopefully good summer? >] [color=#8B008B]Juliet leaned against a column and looked to the sky. From the corner of her eye she saw Charles sigh and lean back with his arms stretched behind him. Everything that had gone one for the past month or so had finally taken its toll and was slowly devouring every inch of Juliet?s sanity. Dani had just asked them to devise a plan against Quan, yet how were they supposed to do that when all Quan?s done was devise plans for them? He couldn?t even fathom what sorts of trickery Quan would be up to. Or his sister for that matter. Angrily, Juliet slammed a fist against the column in front of her. Charles lazily opened an eye and watched lines of blood dripping down the white chipped wood. He could tell she was burning inside and that she wanted to let it out before it consumed her. Perhaps they were similar after all; both filled with a temper of sorts- one who controls it while the other manifests it into a force of power. Sighing, Charles lifted himself up and turned to walk back into the house. [B]?Don?t get your panties in a bunch. Besides...ain?t much use poundin? away at that piece o? wood.?[/B] Juliet scoffed. [B]?And you?d know a lot about that, wouldn?t ya??[/B] She clenched and unclenched her fist a few times before dropping it to her side. Without looking behind, Juliet began to walk away from the house. [B]??Ey! Where you runnin? off to??[/B] Charles called after her. [B]?I?ll be back, just try not to burn down the house while I?m gone.?[/B] Juliet replied as she waved her bleeding hand in the air and the other shoved in her jean pocket. [center]+ + + + +[/center] Somehow Juliet had walked herself to a small park. She could hear voices but couldn?t see the people; it was better that way. She sat on a swing set and rocked herself back and forth. Juliet looked to the grass in front of her, wondering about everything that had happened. It overwhelmed her but somehow it also made her understand more about herself than any other moment in her life- especially the moments with the quack doctor she was forced to see. [B]?Even Quan had more answers than him and he had even less to say.?[/B] Juliet shook her head at the mere thought of Quan. [B]?Damn. What?ve you gotten yourself into, Juliet? Seems like your life?s just getting more and more complicated as the years grow older. Hell you?re even referring to yourself in third person; that?s got to stand for something.?[/B] She chuckled lightly but in an almost tired and delirious way. Juliet held onto the chains and looked up to the sky. It was an old habit she?d picked up from her father when she was younger; probably her way of feeling like she was actually related to him. [B]?We?re all in way over our heads but we can?t back out now...can we?? ?No, I don?t think you can, my dear.?[/B] In an instant Juliet jumped out of the swing and readied herself, fully alert. Someone was hiding in the shadows and either waited for her or followed her to the park; either way that person was there nonetheless.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]I've added my sign-up and am ready for my close-up, D'Ann. I'm not sure I like my character's "Legend" but I guess it'll have to do for now. I was never really good at writing bios anyway.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B][B]Name-[/B] Known as White Lotus; few people know her as Moon Alyeong [Surname, Given Name] [B]Age-[/B] 18 [B]Gender-[/B] Female [B] Country of Origin/Residence-[/B] Born in the Kingdom of Silla, now resides in the Kingdom of Enshian. [B]Profession-[/B] Courtesan; Traveling performer [B]Appearance-[/B] [URL=http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/220/b/8/lotus_by_anaRasha.jpg]White Lotus[/URL] - She has intricate markings that start at her shoulder joints and meet at her sternum, closely resembling an elegant tribal tattoo. - Artwork by [URL=http://anarasha.deviantart.com][B]anaRasha[/B][/URL] [B]Weapon(s)/Style-[/B] Alyeong uses a [URL=http://www.swordsofkorea.com/sword_3b.jpg]short sword[/URL] hidden in the handle of her parasol, as well as two dual fans. As a performer, she is flexible and acrobatic, graceful yet fierce, and gentle in both performance and action. As a fighter, she integrates her performer?s attributes into her fighting style; however though she may be gentle as a performer, she is anything but as a fighter. [B]The Legend of Moon Alyeong?[/B] For years now, I?ve traveled the four kingdoms captivating and high officials, as well as anyone who would enjoy an illustrious show. One of the most culminating things about performing was not the orchestration of a performance or the amazements of the audience; no, the most culminating thing about performing was my ability to open a new world before the very eyes of my audience. I had a way of captivating people with my seductive acrobatics and graceful skills of controlling water. It felt invigorating, knowing what I brought with me and shared to the world. As the White Lotus I was known for my bemusing abilities that had people baffled and bewildered. Rumours stretched across the lands and have been greatly exaggerated as to where I acquired such skills yet none have been proved nor have they been corrected. The most common, thus far, was that I was granted a gift from gods to become a sorceress who tricked all who laid eyes on me. It wasn?t far from the truth when it concerned the gods but receiving powers of sorcery stretched the truth. Few people have learned the true story behind my life while many have failed in their attempts to learn. My given name was Moon Alyeong and during my childhood I was oblivious to being a descendant of a Silla goddess of water. I had found my powers at a young age, just like my mother and her mother before her. My father refused to keep me in the safeties of our home but instead introduce me to the world; he refused to see me fear the world like my mother had during her childhood. He was the reason for my bold nature and stubbornness. It was also because of my father that I realized my love for entertaining people. I always enjoyed finding smiles across their faces and hearing them applaud. However, one incident had left my young innocence behind, only to be replaced by White Lotus for the rest of my days. It was on a cool summer?s night where I first stepped into an estate that seemed to go on for miles. The sounds of the [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayageum]gayageum[/URL] resounded throughout the large estate as I began my display for a high official. Using my control of water, I dazzled the noblemen sitting in the large room. I was lithe and limber, dancing on the waters that rose from nowhere. However, the performance wasn?t where I came to an epiphany. Once I had done my part in this high official?s party, I began to walk out into the breezy night; sounds of my mother?s laughter seemed to pass my ears. In wonderment I followed her laughter towards the back of the estate only to find her cavorting with a man who was not my father. In anger and distraught, I ran from the estate. I ran until my legs felt like they were being ripped apart from my body, but even then I refused to stop until I was in the West Kingdom. I stripped away Alyeong from my persona and guised my self as White Lotus, taking on a new persona to fit the new lifestyle I?d given myself. The life in Silla was all but a memory and nothing more; if anything the only part of Silla that stayed was my mother?s coquettish behavior which turned into my own.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]The story still makes me want to go watch DBZ. =P Anyways, another great addition. I wonder what'll happen when Sella shows up: big showdown? Traumatic, life-changing terrors? Someone dying [specifically her]? But I'm guessing that you're not going to put her in until later. ^_~* As the story progresses, the first person narration really does a lot for it. It accentuates the tone and mood, as well as gives a better character development for the characters introduced. Keep at it! ^_^[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]The sun was now covered by dark gray clouds and the rain was pouring more than ever. The feel of the rain brought back hazy memories and mixed feelings of nostalgia, anger, and sorrow. It always had. Theron always loved the rain yet despised it at the same time. She looked forward to find John ?walking the line? the way young children did. She broke a small smile and chuckled at the sight- a grown man balancing himself on train tracks. [B]?View?s quite beautiful up here, ya know.?[/B] John groaned when he felt a sudden weight on his shoulder and Theron?s voice trailed from above. He sighed and looked to find Theron?s fishnet stocking legs dangling from his right shoulder. His eyes trailed up the legs to find a balanced Theron sitting atop with a black parasol over her head. She looked down and giggled something evil, waving her hand at him. John sighed and knew Theron wouldn?t come down from her ?throne?, so in silent complaint he walked. Theron?s eyes were looking forward to the horizon but her mind was drifting somewhere in the opposite direction. She rested a hand in her lap while she held the parasol over John?s head with the other. It was a while down the tracks when Theron had spoken the first word since she?d been sitting on John?s shoulder. [B]?Johnny...can I ask you a question??[/B] John merely grunted a ?huh?? in reply. Theron breathed in the fresh air before continuing. John slowed in his pace and waited for Theron?s continuation but when he received none, he looked up at her. [B]?What?s on your mind, Theron??[/B] Theron looked down at John. [B]?Why?re you so interested in all of this? What?s so important to you about Drigg and all that?s been happenin? with Augustine??[/B] Before Theron could squeeze an answer out of John, the two suddenly arrived at the point of place. [B]?We?re here.?[/B][/color] [B]OOC:[/B] Tweaked the ending a bit. Didn't really like the way it sounded.[/size]

[QUOTE=Allamorph][FONT=Arial]What, are you kidding? Yes, yes; heck yes. I'm not sure I could handle all the stuff that'd get thrown at me and still manage to cope with college. Please, join me. :animeswea I suppose we'd just work out the split as we go. [/FONT][/QUOTE] [size=1][color=#8B008B]Then it's settled...well at least if it's alright with Aaryanna_Mom, which I'm sure it is. Anywho, as for the set up of the newspaper, Mom already set it up. It's quite nice actually but I'm not sure if it's the final set up.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]If it's alright with you and Allamorph, I can also help with editing. That's if Allamorph wouldn't mind me helping. =] And this sounds like a good bunch. I'm sure we can finally manage that newspaper now, Mom.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]I've got to say...this is a really great addition to the Anthology. It actually kept me interested and for some odd reason, I feel like watching Dragonball now. Kind of feel bad for Neil and his now-severed-tail. But this story is really great. I'm digging the first person narration. It gives the story a different spin than just reading from third person perspective. Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next installment.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]Sounds like a good plan. Let me know if you need any help. =][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]Alright, that sounds like a great idea. But what if two members write about the same topic? What then? We can't have two articles about the same topic, so what would happen if that happened? And I'm all for writing for the [B]Creative Works[/B] spot. =][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]I'm confused about what you want for each category. All it says underneath is [Information about interesting threads, etc.]. I'm not trying to be nitpicky but I'm just a person who likes clarity and I am utterly confused about what you want in the categories. So, clarify please? Also, I'm all for not having a set staff but to avoid confusion and conflict, maybe there should be a sort of agenda or sort of a first-come-first-serve thing, where a member can pick the topic they want to talk about, write out an article, send it to you, and if they can't fulfill the deadline the next person in line or something like that. I just feel that there might need to be some order; maybe there is an order and I just missed it. But that's just my idea. ^_^;;;[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]You know I'm all for it. Time for fresh blood. >] Oh and by the way, we need to talk about reviving SIS. A new member just PMed me and it made me realize we really haven't...yeah. So, PM or IM. Or MySpace. Either way...[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#9907BB]This is a great idea, [B]A_M[/B] and I really like how you organized a style it should be in. I really like everyone's ideas and I think this would make a great addition to OtakuBoards. On top of that, maybe it'll bring some more people to check out the Anthology. I'm willing to help out as well and I should, seeing as I feel I've been neglecting my Moderator duties. Anyways, usually in newspapers they have a Living, Entertainment, Comic/ Funny, Letters to the Editor, Headline News, and what have you not. So, the OB Newspaper shouldn't just be limited to the Arts & Entertainment but also to the entire OtakuBoards- Hardwired, Otaku Lounge, etc. Also, I agree with [B]indifference[/B] about using [B]Darren[/B]'s idea on external news. I think it would give the newspaper a more connected feel to it. You know...perhaps compiling a list of what you'd like to see in the Newspaper might help in working out the kinks. You could start out with the main ideas and then underneath the main ideas have what you think would go best with that category. It sounds a bit tedious, I know, but I really think it might help. Let me know if you need any help, I'm more than happy to help. In fact, it'll help me be productive. =P[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#9907BB]Yay~ New list! I love this game. ^_^[/color] [indent]1. [B]KT Tunstall[/B] - Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - Cute song. 2. [B]Bi [aka Rain][/B] - But I Love You - A Korean song. Not one of my favorite artists. He's just another Korean artist trying to make it big. 3. [B]Trans-Siberian Orchestra[/B] - Carols Of Bells - Haha, Clurr's going to be happy. I heard about this group from her and haven't really listened to them until recently. They're really great and actually make classical music sound just a tad more interesting. 4. [B]Judy Crystal[/B] - Nori Nori Nori - A DDR song. I'm addicted to techno- always have been and always will be. This song makes me want to play DDR now. Too bad I suck at it. -____- 5. [B]Trans-Siberian Orchestra[/B] - Fur Elise - Another [B]TSO[/B]! I think they're one of the few in my list that I have over ten songs of. XD 6. [B]Evanescence[/B] - Call Me When You're Sober - A song written for her ex-boyfriend (?) about his alcoholism. Amy Lee is truly a talented artist and I don't care what anyone else says. 7. [B]DJ Alligator Project[/B] - Turn Up The Music - Another techno song. It sounds a lot like the rest of the techno songs in the world, but I like it. 8. [B]Black Eyed Peas[/B] - Don't Phunk With My Heart - Ah...one of the few songs I fell in love with. It's got a good dancing rhythm to it and it's upbeat. That's all that matters to me. 9. [B]Rachael Lampa[/B] - Outrageous - I was given her CD about three years ago but I never listened to it until recently. She's a pretty good singer. 10. [B]The Prodigy[/B] - Smack My ***** Up - Oh me, oh my. I must say that the video to this song is hilarious and I think I laughed my butt off even after it was over. The Prodigy's got a unique Electronic/Semi-Techno/Hip-Hop-ish style. 11. [B]Snoop Dogg[/B] - I Got 5 On It - A rap song, what else can I say? 12. [B]Third Eye Blind[/B] - Crystal Baller - Like Matchbox Twenty, I knew about them before but just recently started listening to them. 13. [B]Usher[/B] - Throwback - I never listened to this the entire way through. 14. [B]Todd Thibaud[/B] - Dragging Me Down - I heard this song while I was watching Smallville and liked it. 15. [B]JoJo[/B] - Leave (Get Out) - I like this song. Yeah..._>[/indent] [color=#9907BB]I'd have more to say about the songs, but I'm on a time limit. And besides, my list didn't produce songs that I can go on and on about.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#8B008B]As the two vampires walked, Theron stayed silent even when John asked her a question. She was entranced by the sound of the rain against her parasol. Somehow it soothed and calmed her; it was a nostalgic feeling altogether. Theron looked forward as she and John came to a crosswalk. She hadn?t looked at him since a few ways back, it was how she was. However, John was beginning to get a bit impatient and antsy; he wanted to know where she had gotten the information but knew not to question her too much. He began to open his mouth when Theron answered. [B]?You weren?t about to grab my shoulder, turn me around, and ask me again where I got my information...were you??[/B] John closed his mouth and cleared his throat. He knew Theron was smirking; in fact, she wore that smirk since she left his apartment. When he looked up, she was already halfway across the street. He caught up with her and looked down at her, waiting for her to say something. Theron looked up at the sky and found that it was letting up. She seemed content with the idea of the rain stopping but she knew that it?d return. It always did. As she looked up at the sky, her lips began to move, [B]?You and I both know that the Augustine vampires are known for their flagrant disdain towards the Nicodemus. But did you know that they?re also reputable for their disgusting loyalty towards each other??[/B] Theron gazed over at John from the corner of her eye before settling her face fully on him. [B]?If there?s anything the Augustine pride themselves over- other than being the supreme race- is their undying devotion towards each other and the Augustine name. I may not have an undying devotion but I am loyal to the laws I was raised by. For me to divulge that sort of information would be like asking you to kill a fellow Nicodemus.?[/B] After a moment?s silence, John asked, [B]?Why are you telling me this? I thought you severed all of your ties with the Augustine Clan. So why do you feel like you can?t tell me who you got the information from?? ?It?s one of the many mysteries that you and I will never know, John. I may not be an Augustine anymore, but somehow I feel that I can?t betray them in this way. No matter how ridiculous that sounds, I just can?t.?[/B] The rain finally let up and Theron closed her parasol. The two vampires walked in silence and it stayed that way. As they walked, Theron couldn?t help but think of what she said. It wasn?t that she couldn?t betray the Augustine; if she wanted, she would have betrayed the Augustine ages ago. It was more the man who taught her the ways of Augustine that she couldn?t betray. Yet, that was something she would never let escape from her lips for to her, it showed weakness. Longing, nostalgia, and any emotion of the like was weakness and Theron couldn?t allow herself to seem weak.[/color][/size]

[quote name='Nerdsy][spoiler']And just because Linderman had allies with powers does not mean that all his allies had powers. ; )[/spoiler][/quote] [size=1][color=#9907BB]I completely agree with Nerdsy. [spoiler]Just because Linderman has a power, doesn't mean all of his allies do either. However, it is inferred that Kaito Nakamura [underline]MAY[/underline] have a power. It's also inferred that he might be Kensei which would basically make Kaito immortal. This inference came from a discussion board.

She said that he could see her. Does that mean there's someone who's overseeing everything? Is there someone who was controlling, or controlled, Linderman, who apparently was the supposed brains behind the operations?[/spoiler][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#9907BB]It's about time someone brought this back from the dead. *cough cough* I mean, what a great idea! Well, here goes my list. =][/color] [indent]1. [B]Motion City Soundtrack[/B] - Autographs & Apologies - [B]MTC[/B] is one of my favorite bands and this song is actually pretty mellow with sort of an upbeat feeling. 2. [B]Lil Jon[/B] - Shake That Monkey - I've never listened to this song all the way through; I get bored easily. 3. [B]N.E.R.D.[/B] - Rock Star (Jason Nevins Remix Edit) - The guitar intro to this song is just awesome. I listen to this just to hear the guitar. 4. [B]Usher[/B] - Caught Up - Honestly, Usher's not that great for me anymore. I've started to get disinterested and that's not a good sign because I [B]HARDLY[/B], [B]RARELY[/B], almost [B]NEVER[/B] get disinterested in any artist/band. 5. [B]Keyshia Cole[/B] - Love - Keyshia Cole's a great singer, no doubt, but I'm just not partial to this song. The beat's lovely and everything but to me, it's just another sappy love song about a girl who got hurt by a guy and yada yada yada. 6. [B]Shaggy[/B] - Wild 2Nite (feat. Olivia) - Another hip-hop-y song! Yay! As for the why: It's just a random song that makes me want to move. And I like songs like that; they're a wonderful welcome in my playlist. 7. [B]Eru[/B] - Glasses - A Korean song about dark glasses which is a metaphor for the sorrow in the person's heart and how he's covering up his tears and sorrow by wearing the blackest, darkest glasses. It's a lovely song. 8. [B]Gym Class Heroes[/B] - Make Out Club - :animesmil I've got to say, a lot of the songs that [B]GCH[/B] sings has a double-entendre to it. However, for this song I'm not sure there is one; even so, it's a funny song and [B]GCH[/B] roxxors my soxxors to the fullest. 9. [B]Mya[/B] - Do You Only Wanna Dance? - Mya. Mya. Mya. Lovely girl. End of story. 10. [B]Story of the Year[/B] - Swallow The Knife - Another of my favorite bands alongside [B]Motion City Soundtrack[/B] and [B]Gym Class Heroes[/B]. Their songs are really cool and I love the instrumentals in the song. 11. [B]Saliva[/B] - Bleed For Me - I forgot where I got this from but the guitar intro is great and the song is really balanced with everything. 12. [B]Jem[/B] - Stay Now - I discovered [B]Jem[/B] back in Freshman year, I think, and loved her since. She's got a beautiful voice and she's one of the few mellower artists in my playlist. 13. [B]Mae[/B] - The Sun and The Moon - Another favorite band. End of story. 14. [B]Matchbox Twenty[/B] - Disease - I knew about them ages ago but just recently started having an affinity for them. 15. [B]Dem Franchize Boyz[/B] - Oh I Think They Like Me - I'm not going to even indulge on that. Let's just say it gets annoying very quickly.[/indent][/size]

[size=1][color=#4B5B5B]Theron snickered at John?s comment and sighed as she kept petting Bill. There was a still silence for a few seconds until John has broken it. [B]?Okay, obviously you?re not going to tell me why you snickered on your own.?[/B] John stood up with the glasses in his hand and walked to the kitchen. When he returned he said with crossed arms, [B]?Alright, come out with it. What was so funny about what I said??[/B] Theron looked up at John and erupted in laughter. She meant to snicker again but when it came to mockery, she could never hold a straight face. This mocking laughter had scared Bill away and he hid behind John?s leg, who wasn?t amused by the least. He raised a brow and looked at Theron, who was nearly going to topple over, clenching her stomach. He tapped his foot a few times and waited for Theron to answer his question. It took her a few minutes to gather her composure and sit back up in the couch with her hands gently laid in her lap. [B]?You?re full of funny lines, aren?t you, Johnny??[/B] She looked at him amusingly. John, on the other hand, was still bewildered. [B]?What was that fight in the German bar, then? That wasn?t a ?good fight???[/B] Theron smiled largely to keep from erupting in another laughing fit. She cleared her throat and said, [B]?If you think you?re out of practice, then I must be out of shape in terms of a ?good fight?.?[/B] She smirked at John and walked towards him, placing a hand on his sternum. [B]?If you want a fight, why don?t we go visit our good neighbors, the Nicodemus? I?m sure they?d be happy to let up some information.?[/B] Her eyes glistened a moment as John looked down at her. Something behind her eyes was creating a wild fire within Theron and it was aching to escape from the internal prison it was confined to. John sighed and walked towards the table and grabbed his jacket and key and stepped out the door. How could he say no to Theron when he knew the hold she had on him? Even so, it wasn?t like him to decline from ?visiting? friends he hadn?t seen in quite some time. When John looked up from locking his door, Theron was already out in the rain with a black parasol. [B]?I suppose you?ll be greeted with a big homecoming then?? ?I suppose you?re right.?[/B][/color] [B]OOC:[/B] Sorry for not posting sooner, guys. It?s just been a bit hectic around here, what with graduation around the corner and finals before that. But not to worry, at the end of this month, I?ll be free to post as much as I can. And better posts, for that matter.[/size]

[size=1][color=#4B5B5B]Welcome back to the Anthology, JJ. I was expecting some sort of action-packed chapter here, but I can suffice with this. The character development with JJ is becoming more and more complex or maybe it's becoming more and more simple, I don't know. It's 1 in the morning, I can't process what the hell I'm thinking. All I know is, it's about damn time you got this up. =P Can't wait for the next installment.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#4B5B5B]Theron crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. John chuckled to himself as he walked past Theron and disappeared into the short hallway. She sighed as she plopped herself on the couch, stretching her arms upward and letting out a breath of air. She heard John rummaging in one of the rooms and could only guess what he was looking for. She was disgusted by John?s ?daily escapades? that involved his landlady and her daughter. Theron, above anything else, despised how men used their sexuality as an excuse to get what they wanted; in fact, she despised their actions altogether. She sighed to herself as she felt something rub up against her legs. As she picked up the black and white cat that was looking up at her with beautiful amber eyes, Theron knew she couldn?t say anything about John?s nature for she was the same as him. Perhaps that was why she hated it so much and why she hated herself- or at least one of the reasons. John knew this well- maybe too well- but they both knew that Theron would never admit this as a fault, at least not out loud. Somehow the cat that was lying in her lap reminded her of a time when she was careless, not that she wasn?t careless already, and it brought her back to the less than fateful night when she stumbled onto John. It was the night that she had turned him. Theron had been craving blood that night and the concert that was taking place had piled vibrant, young humans into one gathering. It was there that she had found John, this beautiful-looking boy, and smelt the fresh blood within him. It was only a matter of time when he?d single himself out and leave himself vulnerable. When he left the large group for a few moments, it was then that Theron attacked him. With one swift movement, she had pinned against a tree. A smirk of lust and hunger overcame her face as she looked into John?s steady yet frightened eyes. Without a moment?s notice, she dug her fangs into his neck and pierced him, lapping his blood into her mouth and feeling his life drain away into it. [B]?I was a foolish girl then, wasn?t I, little kitten??[/B] That memory always killed a part of her every time she thought of it. Theron sighed and leaned back into the couch. [B]?If only I could go back and change what I?d done.? ?What?re you mumbling about now, Theron??[/B] Theron hadn?t heard John enter the living room and when she looked his way, she changed her somber expression to the one she brought with her- a playful look of malice and deviance. It may have been quick but John could spot the change quicker than he could bring a lady into his bed.[/color] [B]OOC:[/B] Late, I know. You can murder me later, Vicky. But at least I got SOMETHING up. >

[size=1]Here you are, my good friend. A sign-up, though not untraditional, but a sign-up nonetheless. =] Enjoy. ^_~* [color=#4B5B5B][B]Name-[/B] Theron Agnes Marlow [B]Age-[/B] 182 years [B]Species/Clan-[/B] Neutral vampire; though once acquainted with Augustine [B]Appearance-[/B] [URL=http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/6125/kagarilc9.jpg]Theron[/URL] [B]Personality-[/B] Theron is the least of what you?d expect from a long line of well-respected vampires. She may have the Marlow?s sense of loyalty and dignity, but that?s all she possesses. She, unlike most female vampires, is straightforward with a sour mouth that spews sarcasm- both blunt and subtle- and word-play that could make any person gasp in shock. She also has a devil-may-care attitude, never caring for what others? thought of her, and always doing reckless things. Theron was filled with unrepressed attitudes, though never once has she shown signs of sorrow, stress, and the like, only happiness, anger, contentment. Basically, Theron was known to be everything the girl next door wasn?t. [B]Biography-[/B] NUTSHELL- She?s been in the Augustine Clan since birth but left when her father-figure was killed. For about 70 years, she?s been roaming the streets as a rogue, doing what she wanted without the fear of authority barking at her. Then she met John Butcher, since their meeting they?ve been roaming together. [B]Extra-[/B] Currently, she partnered herself with John Butcher and more often than not has made it a thing of poking fun at him. She also has a way of showing up out of nowhere and making people jump three feet out of their seats. [I?ll fix this up. It?s just so that people know a bit.][/size][/color]
