[size=1]I'm gonna' go tanning at the beach with a bunch of friends. I'm already tan, so I'll probably just go surf or somethin.. I might just go find some shade and take a nap, but I'm still really keen on the tanning and surfing idea, lol. God, I [i]love[/i] Southern California! --Lan[/size]

[size=1]Well, these are the genres I like: -Emo/Screamo -Some Ska -Hip-Hop -Jazz (Frank Sinatra and what-not. I guess he's jazz, right?) -Indie -Rock My sense of music is really, really, [i]really[/i] random. --Lan[/size]

[size=1]I like Ska a little, not enough to obsess over it, but I like it. I like the Aquabats and... well the Aquabats. They're one of the few Ska bands I know. They've got a really nice beat. =D[/size]

He's very laid-back and ocassionaly let's things that annoy or bother him go. When in battle, however, he's very agressive. He goes into a slight trance-like state when in battle. He knows when he's reached his limits, but will push it if he knows he can. A very determined person, but he always knows respect and friendship are important. [b]Other:[/b] Well, just one thing. Are we going to have support items like [b]Final Question[/b] I thought the sign-up was really efficient, except at certain times (Lightsaber Style was a tough choice, because there were two I really liked..) Other than that however, I found it very easy. Nice job![/size]

[size=1]Those Naruto pictures you used are amazing! I've never seen pictures like those, the quality in them is outstanding. You should try something other than the same style of background though. The BGs are greant and all, but try something different, don't just recolor them.Try switching fonts too, that font you used on the Naruto ones is... odd. On your Jack Johnson banner, i have no clue wht it is a picture of. I see a guitar and kind of a guy holding it at an angle, but that's about it.[/size]

[size=1]Holy bajeezus, you're doing [i]that[/i] with PSP?! I didn't think it possible! OK, I'm in love with the Wickersleeves Set Avatar. That is the coolest avatar I have [b]ever[/b] seen! The banner's ok, but I don't really think that the fon't that says "A slave of DW's many works" really fits with the image 'n' what not. (By the way, what does is say on the right? I thought it said "The Accord" as in the car but that can't be right...) Other than that particular font choice, they all are very, very good. I also like Set 3, you're really getting better as you keep going! I hope to see more! [b]Rating[/b] (for everything, I'm too lazy to do it all individually..)[b]:[/b] 9.7/10[/size]

[color=#707875][size=1]OOC: Gah, I need a Hoehn Map... :grumble: [center]-----[/center] [b]Current Location:[/b] [i]Mauville City[/i] Kenji walked around Mauville City, looking for some excitement. Lately, the only exciting thing for him was entering a Pokemon contest in his hometown of Verdanturf Town. He won, considering very few people were coming into town even with thenewly opened Rusturf Tunnel. He thought it quite surprising but left it at just that: surprising. As he walked around Mauville, he noticed he was running low on Great Balls, as well as needed to heal his Aron. He didn't really think to have the need to have more Pokemon than his beloved Aron, but he knew he was going to have to get more as time went by. He let his Aron walk around with him now, and frankly no one really cared whether he was in his Pokeball or not. Kenji enjoyed the company of his Aron, always playful and cheerful. After he got his supplies he got back home, said Hi to his dad, made himself a sandwhich, and set off to his room. He suddenly noticed two things: he had forgotten his Pokedex at home and that the screen was shining brightly. He didn't know whether to ignore and pass it off as a malfunction or to actually see what was wrong. He decided not to risk it. On the screen it said: [center][b]Attention! Attention All Pokemon Trainers![/b] [i]--We have an urgent message that there is a thief out on the loose! He has been reported to have been on the search for all of the Legendary Pokemon! Be very careful when out for a walk with your Pokemon, be they in their proper ball or walking outside them! Remember, please very careful and do not let your Pokemon go with another person, unless they be a Daycare professional [u]with[/u] a proper diploma stating so! Protect yourself, everybody is at risk![/i][/center] Kenji read it over twice, scared at what it could mean. "Dang, better be more careful with you from now on..." he told Aron as he pet his head softly. "Well, if he comes our way, we'll take him right?" He threw his fist up and brought it back down quickly triumphantly. His Aron cheered along with him as well, "Aron, Aron!" He finished the last bite of his sandwhich, not noticing he had been eatingit while reading the notice. Swallowing it down quickly, he asked Aron, "Well, I'm gonna head outside. Do you want to go inside your Pokeball?" Aron frowned at the thought. Kenji couldn't help but give out a slight smile. He gathered all his supllies and put them inside his pack. His Aron smiled cheerfully, following his every hand movement as he put his items inside his pack. Kenji put the pack on and kneeled down a bit for Aron to get on his shoulder. Aron jumped onto his bed then to his shoulder. "Aron!" he said quite giddily. He headed towards the kitchen where his father was reading the daily newspaper at the dinner table. He walked directly in front of the table, his father slowly lowering the article. "Well, I knew this day would come, but" he smiled softly, tears starting to well up in his eyes, "I just can't belive it came this soon." His dried his eyes as if nothing of the sort had happened. "Did you pack plenty of potions and balls?" Kenji nodded. "Well, just remember to have fun, ok? I hope you do great. Contact me every so often though, ok? You don't I'll disown you." They both laughed at the thought. His father stood up and led him to the door. Kenji slowly waved, as did his father. He walked thorugh Mauville City and healed Aron one last time...[/color][/size]

[color=#707875][size=1][b]Name:[/b] Kenji Etsuko [b]Age:[/b] 15 [b]Appearance:[/b] View the attachment. (He doesn't have the hat or cape. He has black, spiked up, hair and white shirt covered with a black jacket. The white undershirt is still visible though.) [b]Personality:[/b] He's very friendly, but can often keep to himself, even when he means not to. He loves the thrill of a battle and when he sets his mind on something, he tries to not give up. If he doesn't become your friend on first ocassion, he'll try harder to become one. When something bad happens though, be it to him or someone else, his mood will change. He'll suddenly turn serious and will talk only to his close friends. He'll only have his mind set on what he needs to do to make everything better. [b]Pokemon:[/b] [img]http://www.pokeschool.com/videogames/rubysapphire/sprites/070.gif[/img] -Aron [b]Hometown:[/b] Verdanturf Town [b]Profile:[/b] Born in Verdanturf Town, he was naturally accustomed to the tranquility and serenity of the peaceful town. His parents were wonderful, always taking time after they got back from home to play Peek-a-boo with him. He gladly joined along, laughing giddily at everytime his parents uncovered their faces. He lived happily with his parents, learning to walk and they being their at every step of his childhood. At the age of 3 and a half, however, his mother had to move to Lilycove City due to a career change. She was now the Co-Manager to the giant Dept. Store in Lilycove. Kenji was dumbstruck. He was still learning words and couldn't understand "career-change" and "grief". He could only cry softly on his fathers shoulder for the first few days living with his dad. About a week later, he got used to not having his mother there to feed him applesauce. At about the age of 4 and a half to 5, he started learning to ride a bike, thanks to the generosity of Mr. Rydel and his fathers know-how on riding a bike. His bike-of-choice was the Acro bike, he loved the abiliy to bunny-hop and do wheelies. When he turned 7, his father had let him travel Mauville City on his own to visit his new friend, Kyle, just as long as he contacted him within every few hours. Kyle was a friend anybody would want. He was always cheerful and had a very impacting role on his future attitude/mood. As he slowly rounded the age of 14, Kyle and him decided to go off into the Low Road, directly under the Seaside Cycling Road. He took only one Pokeball with him, feeling not too confident on whether or not he was going to catch a Pokemon. Kyle, on the otherhand, had broguht about 20, ready to catch "A whole load of pokemon, bud!" They walked around for about an hour, Kyle constanly catching pokemon every ten minutes or so. Kenji didn't really find any Pokemon he liked. He thought about catching a Electrike, but it was too fast for him and ran off as soon as he threw the ball. Kyle, being the good friend he was, decided to give him about 5 Pokeballs. He, after about 15 minutes of getting more Pokeballs, found one he would [i]love[/i] to catch. An Aron! He creeped up behind him, taking out a Pokeball in the process and threw it at the tiny little Pokemon. He crossed his fingers as soon as the ball left his hand and waited. He caught it, ran to the Pokeball waiting serenely on the ground, and jumped into the air with excitment. He dropped the other 4 balls and ran as fast as he could to his father... ~~~~~~~ God, I hope this is enough! :toothy:[/size][/color]

He looks strangely familiar.. The wierd thing about this game is, it's called [u]Samurai[/u] Warriors, and yet nobody has a Katana as their default weapon..[/size]

[size=1]I'm guessing you used MS Paint, or around that sorts. Unless I'm just off or somethin'.. Anyways, I highly suggest you add a border. It just makes all the diferrence, really. I also recommend adding a background, as well as better images of the FF VII and FF VIII crew. The sprites just don't blend well with the more.. better looking images, in lamence terms. I also noticed something as I looked at it the 2nd time around. The pic of the guy from FF XI seems to cut off a tad bit off the arm from Vincent, I think that's his name.. Nonetheless, it's well done in some areas. Keep working at it! :) --Lan[/size]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Quite the contrary, all three are 100% original and made by me. Sorry to let you down or what-not. :( Any more comments would be nice. ^-^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[color=slategray][size=1]Oh man, haven't posted in a [i]while[/i]. Guess I'll start by postin' some new banners! :) The first and last banners are from Seven Samurai 20XX, while the 2nd one is just a random abstract banner I made. I've been making my banners very simply lately. Anyways, constructive criticism would really appreciatted. :D --Lan [color=blue]Moved. -Syk3[/color][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=#707875][i]Kaizen, or Kai as he liked to be called, awoke with a startle. He heard laughter from outside the inn. He got up, rubbing his eyes, heading towards the window. He opened the the wooden blinds, blinded by the amount of light that came so suddenly. As he grew accustomed to the light, he saw what the commotion was. There was a giant crowd around the fountain in the heart of town, all their attention directed to a boy about his age. He decided to leave the inn to see what it was all about. He grabbed his supplies and left the room. He then locked the door behind him and left towards the exit. He didn't see anyone at the Inn counter as he left, so he just left his 80 dran there. As he left the Inn, he noticed it got smaller then when he looked at it a few minutes ago from the window. He got closer to where the boy was making an announcment. He heard something about a Thirstquencher Empire and had a little chuckle to himself. As people began to slowly leave, obviously not willing to what he was saying, he walked up to the front. He then found out it was a quest to defeat what is called the Thirstquencher Empire. He decided to go along, despite the fact that it was quite sudden. Once the boy was clearly finished talking, Kai looked around. Of the, at least, 50 people he only saw about 10. He was quite shocked.[/i] [b]Kai:[/b][/color] Well now, this is gonna' be more interesting than I thought...[/size]

[color=#707875][size=1]Looks fun! It has a great concept, I'll give it a shot! ^_^ ~~~ [b]Name:[/b] Kaizen, or Kai for short. [b]Age:[/b] 14 [b]Class:[/b] ?Hero? [b]Description:[/b] About 5'5", he's a little smaller than a few of his friends. He has light brown hair that's naturally spikey, as well as light brown eyes. He wears a light silver cloak that comes down to his shin, which has a hole located on his left shoulder. His hood works in two ways, he can use it as a stealth hood that covers his entire face with the exception of his eyes, or he can use it as a hood. On his hands, he has gloves that come up to his palm. [b]Bio:[/b] Kaizen, or Kai as he likes to be called, was quite the mischievous boy when growing up. He did simple things, like putting salt in someone's drink. He giggled along with his little friends as if it were some giant prank. When he turned 6 and went off to 1st grade, he had more fun then when he was in "Kindy", as he liked to call Kindergarten. He his his teachers pencils, poured sand on a boy's head, and let loose three ladybugs he caught outside inside the classroom. One child has an odd allergic reaction to bugs. He was later told out, scuffed by his collar, and had to stand in a corner. As he grew, he knew to make his pranks stealthy, only telling two to three accomplices. He aslo grew in the way of being "innocent" around his elders. When he turned nine, he began to train himself in the way of the sword. He started out with a Kendo. He accidentally bruised one of his classmates when they tried sneaking up behind him. He was prohibited to train for a week. As he grew, his attidtude changed towards his friends, family, and elders. He still occasionally pulled a prank here and there, only when he saw a ripe moment to pull one, of course. He was always required to do his classwork and chores before going out and training. His older brother often trained with him, as well as friends at times. Once he turned 14, he had a completely new outlook on his ways and life. Of course, a prank here and there was always "light fun". His parents gave him a Light Sword for his birthday. He know liked to travel from home, only for a few days at a time though. When he learned of the attack of the Thirstquencher Army, he became determine to become more experienced in using his sword. That same year, he learned of his Bincholon abilities and began to train and use them. His parents found out something was odd when the found a plant outside burned to the ground. The day he found out about the Thirstquencher Army attack he became [b]very[/b] determined in helping out his village over the fear of losing his family and friends. [b]Starting Point:[/b] Exiting the Inn of Grillin Village [b]Primary Spell/Weapon:[/b] Light Sword [b]Secondary Weapon/Item:[/b] Small daggers in a notch on his belt. [b]Items:[/b] A First Aid kit, a mint, a a loaf of bread. [b]Spell(s):[/b] -Cure: Can heal 15 HP (I hope this is ok If not, I'll edit it. ^_^) -Invisibilty: He can become invisible for 20 seconds. It takes a lot of energy for him to use it, which is why he rarely uses this spell. ~~~ Ok, I hope this is ok, but if it isn't, just IM me. ^_^ -Lan[/color][/size]

[color=#707875][size=1]All of your banner's are really good, Naru. The last one kind of stuck out though. The image quality itself is kind of bad. The font is good too, but try to make it a little more vibrant. Nice job, nonetheless. I hope to see more, Naru! ^_^ -Lan[/color][/size]

[color=#707875][size=1]It's nice, really it is, but I can't read what's on the bottom. It's too blurry. Maybe it's just my puter though. >

[color=#707875][size=1]Like the topic title says, is Prince of Persia actually worth it? I've heard fabulous reviews about it from all types of magazines and a few friends, but haven't played it up front. Well, to get to the point, is it worth it? -Lan[/color][/size]

[color=#707875][size=1]One of the best games out for the PS2 right now. I love this game!

The music sounds just like as if you're watching the movie. The voiceovers are a little odd to me though. Game play is great, not to mention how great the 2-Player concept is.

His father later died when he was 9. The only person left was his sister. She was 7 years older than he. When he turned 18, he decided to get a police job, so that he could keep his sister and him off the streets. At about the same time, he started training with swords. When he became 20, he became a Lieutennent in the Police Force, as well as becoming a Sword Skillsman. His sister joined the force not much later. I [u]really[/u] hope this is ok.
