[color=darkblue]Tip #1- Go [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=69]here.[/url] Tip #2- Try not to make topics that won't lead to spam (which this one will). Tip #3- Just make sure to follow the guidelines, and there won't be any problems. ^^[/color]

[color=darkblue]I see what you mean, Mina. I'll try to fix that. This next one is of Kenshin. I don't think the eyes fit the whole feel of the picture and some of the lines may be off, but I think that it may still be okay. Same question applies as last time. ^^(It's also pink in some areas from the scanner. I don't even know how that happened. Oo; )[/color]

[color=darkblue][b]Kipta:[/b] It seems as if one of our own has had a visit from Martin last night. [i]A murmur of excitement shot around the breakfast table, and Kipta waited until it had subsided to continue.[/i] [b]Kipta:[/b] Skipper, would you like to share what message he gave to you? [b]Skipper:[/b] O' course, marm. [i]Skipper got up from her place at the table and made her way toward the head, so that everbeast would be able to hear.[/i] [b]Skipper:[/b] Well, last night, I had a dream that I was standing out on a beach, far away from our beloved Redwall Abbey. Martin the Warrior suddenly appeared beside me and said this: [i]A war will come to a mountain That stands both tall and bold. Warriors from Redwall will aide in the fight Those both you and old. The leader of otters shall be one And a sweet young hare makes two Remember this, brave warriors To take the best of you. Two more you'll meet along the way Toward the battle in the west. Be strong in the face of this great danger, For it will be your greatest test.[/i] That's all he said. [i]Again, a murmur went around the room at this startling news.[/i] [b]Kipta:[/b] Well, we know that the mountain they speak of has to be Salamandastron. And since the Badger Lords there have long been friends to Redwall, we most assuredly will help them, especially since Martin has said we must. [b]Tipkun:[/b] Bo hurr, Muvver h'Abbess! You'm bees roight h'about that. Thurm gurt beasts doan't seem loike they bee needin' no 'elp, t'ough! [i]A young squrrielbabe named Rovebush piped up from her seat near the back of the room.[/i] [b]Rovebush:[/b] Aye, you right, Sir Tippy! I'se seened a badgy-thing afore! They's bigbeasts, don't need no help fightin'! [i]Sister Marian, the mouse in charge of the sick bay, cuffed Rovepaw lightly and waggled a wary paw at him.[/i] [b]Sister Marian:[/b] Now, you know you've never seen a badger before, Rovepaw! What have I told you about telling fibs? [b]Kipta:[/b] In any case, we will help the beasts at Salamandastron if Martin wishes it. Right now, however, we must figure out who Martin has decided shall go on this venture. [b]Skipper:[/b] Since Martin said "The leader of otters is one," that'll be me, marm. [b]Kipta:[/b] Agreed. But now, we must figure out the other two...[/color]

[color=darkblue]It's been a while since I posted my stuff here, lol. I've done a lot of nice pieces, so I figured I'd out them up to see if there's anything I can improve on. This one is of Rei from Beyblades. I don't think I did too well on the shading, but the overall outline looks okay to me. I made it slightly darker so it would show up better. It's also kinda gritty from the scanner, unfortunately. Any suggestions?[/color]

[color=darkblue]My father works as a contractor for an air freight company. He goes all around the Maryland/Virginia/DC area, but mostly Silver Springs, Rockville, Fairfax, and the like. He also has his own moving business that he runs on the side, since he owns his own short truck. My mother doesn't do anything. I'm the only one that works in my house, lol. I'm currently striving toward trying to become a journalist or a political cartoonist. There's no way I could deliver packages like my dad does. Yeesh.[/color]

[color=darkblue][i]Bladefang was sitting in his cabin, recollecting the fight between him and his nemesis, the stripedog.[/i] [b]Bladefang:[/b] He looked like such easy pickin's, him and that hare. I shoulda took him out easy as a babe. Instead, the thing goes berserk and take out 'alf me horde. That hare wasn't no better. Flyin' about everywhere, taking beasts out with an old stick! But wot am I a'pposed to expect from a bunch a fleabags like this lot... [i]Just then, Verdan came up to Bladefang, making a show of saluting the brooding captain.[/i] [b]Verdan:[/b] Ahoy, Cap'n Bladefang, a fine mornin' I bid to 'e! [b]Bladefang:[/b] Wot do 'e want, Verdan? I ain't in no mood for your little foxy games. [b]Verdan:[/b] Fine, then. I suppose you won't want to know about the land I saw. [b]Bladefang:[/b] What land?! [b]Verdan:[/b] Oh, off port side... [i]Bladefang pushed past Verdan and looked frantically off the port side of the ship, eagerly scanning the horizon for this land. When he didn't spot it, he marched back over to Verdan and grabbed him by his neck fur.[/i] [b]Bladefang:[/b] It ain't a wise idea to play wit me, fox! [b]Verdan:[/b] I wasn't, O Great Cap'n Bladefang. To see the land, ye've gots to get up higher. I saw it from up on the mast. [i]Bladefang threw Verdan back, almost overboard.[/i] [b]Bladefang:[/b] Why didn't you say so, addlebrain?! [i]Bladefang stomped off in a fowler mood than before toward the main mast, mumbling to himself how he had such an incompetent crew...[/i][/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Black Kat [/i] [B]Hey! As you can see, I'm a newbie!:) Anyway, I'm a huge Team Rocket lover and I just wanted to know if there were any "lovely charming villian" lovers out there like me! I know there are a lot out there who do and don't, but if you want to rant at me or tell me how much you love them or just start an argument that could lead to a lot of posting, please do! I'm just intersted in getting to know you people better! :D :ball: [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue]Hey there! As Mod of the forum, welcome to OB. I just want to fill you in on a couple of things. First off, we really discourage favorites threads that lead to spam, which I can see that this might. I'll give this a fair chance if everyone is able to make decent arguments for or against Team Rocket. I will say this. If Desbreko or myself see any of this: [b]OMG!11!! JaEMs aer teh coolies!11 I Dont lIke Mewoth, tho. BYe![/b] This thread will be shut down immediately, and I'll have to put a slight restriction on such threads in the future for a short time. I hope everyone understands that it's just a precaution. I know every single one of you is capable of writing high quality posts, so just watch yourselves, 'kay? Also, we don't like people making threads that just "lead to a lot of arguing and posting." Those would be classified as flame wars, pretty much, unless the arguements are at least partly based on some sort of logic. Just try to remember that in the future.[/color]

[color=darkblue][i]The sun rose gloriously over Mossflower Wood, starting another bright, beautiful spring day at Redwall Abbey. Abbess Kipta strolled out in the orchard, admiring the newly bloomed blossoms on the trees. The ancient squirrel always did enjoy the scent of the blooms, and sighed contentedly as she breathed in the scent of a nearby apple tree.[/i] [b]Kipta:[/b] Ah? I?m so happy that our lovely Abbey continues to flourish. I?m quite certain the harvest will be quite plentiful this year. [b]Skipper:[/b] I?d be agreein? with you there, Mother Abbess! [i]Kipta startled slightly at Skipper?s voice, and wheeled about to see the young otter smiling back at her.[/i] [b]Kipta:[/b] I didn?t realize you were there, Skipper! You frightened me slightly? [b]Skipper:[/b] Oh, I surely didn?t ean to. Just out for a mornin? stroll when I saw you and decided to give a proper greeting on this fine day. Looks to be a fine one, eh? [b]Kipta:[/b] Yes, most certainly, Skipper. I?m not used to seeing ypu out and about this early, however. Is everything all right? [b]Skipper:[/b] Oh, I?m fine. Fit as a young otter such as meself can be, haha. Actually, the reason I?d gotten up so early was to speak with you. [b]Kipta:[/b] Oh? And why was that? [b]Skipper:[/b] I got a visit from Martin last night. I think something may be amiss over at the mountain on the Western Shores. [b]Kipta:[/b] You mean Salamandastron. What did Martin say, exactly? [b]Skipper:[/b] Well, I?d rather that everybeast hear all of it at one time, so I won?t have to be repeating meself over and over, if that?s all right, Abbess. [b]Kipta:[/b] Of course. I can certainly understand that. After everybeast wakes, and has their breakfast, we?ll all have a meeting at the table. [center]*[/center] [i]Out on the sea off the Western horizon, Bladefang the Merciless had begun his day as well, and in high bad temper. For nearly two months, the stoat and his vermin horde had been at sea on the[/i] Bloodrunner[i] without sighting a bit of land, and it had begun to take it?s toll on him. Though he was used to the ocean and its rises and falls, he longed for landfall for another reason. The result of his foul mood was him kicking and yelling at anybeast who happened in his path as he traveled for and aft the ship. One such vermin was a fat, greasy rat by the name of Slopgob, who acted as the ship?s cook. He was just coming out of the galleys to look for Bladefang when, unfortunately, Bladefang found him.[/i] [b]Slopgob:[/b] Ahoy, Cap?n! Good day to ?e! [b]Bladefang:[/b] An? wot?s so good abou? it, slobberchops? We?re still out on this blasted water witout a bit o? land in sight in any direction! [b]Slopgob:[/b] Well, the sun is shinin? real pretty-like on the water. That?s a good thing. [i]Bladefang kicked Slopgob viciously to the deck and sneered down at him.[/i] [b]Bladefang:[/b] So the sun is shinin? pretty on th? water, eh? Well, it?ll be shinin? right through you, if?n I don?t gets some brekkist soon! [i]Slopgob scurried to his feet and backed away from Bladefang, fearing another kick if he got too close again.[/i] [b]Slopgob:[/b] Aye, Cap?n! I?ll make some nice vittles for ?e. [b]Bladefang:[/b] Make it fish! [b]Slopgob:[/b] Oh, we ain?t gots no fish, Cap?n? [i]Bladefang completely lost his temper at that. He drew the lethal scimitar he kept in his belt, grabbed Slopgob by his ragged jerkin and brandished it dangerously close to his throat.[/i] [b]Bladefang:[/b] There?s water everywhere, an? yer tellin? me there ain?t no fish?! [b]Slopgob:[/b] A-Aye, Cap?n, sir! [b]Bladefang:[/b] Well, ye?s best gets to fishin?, or you?ll be swimmin? wit ?em soon! [b]Slopgob:[/b] Aye, Cap?n! [i]Bladefang shoved Slopgob away disgustedly and watched as he scrambled off to fish for his breakfast. The stoat huffed back into his cabin, slamming the door behind him and knocking some things off the walls in his cabin. He threw himself angrily in his makeshift hammock and stared menacingly out the window, quickly becoming lost in his thoughts.[/i] [b]Bladefang:[/b] We?d best make landfall soon. The sooner I gets to land, the sooner I can settle the score wit that stripedog![/color]

[color=darkblue]Upon entering the Abbey, all beasts check them in with the Gatekeeper (a kindly mole by the name of Tipkun) where she takes and stores them in Cavern Hole. The RPG is up now, so everyone can go start posting. ^^ (Thanks for being so patient!)[/color]

[color=darkblue]I can understand the "urgency" of your request, but try to slow down with the typing in the future and proofread. I had to read that a couple of times to understand it, lol. What I would do in your situation is include the Lv. 40 Base Set Raichu in your deck. [b]Raichu[/b] [b]Agility[/b] (2 Colorless, 1 Lightning Energy) Special Effect: Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Raichu [b]Thunder[/b] (3 Lightning, 1 Colorless Energy) Special Effect: Filp a coin. If tails, Raichu does 30 damage to itself. Put in about 2 Pikachu (your choice, but not any from the Gym Heroes or Gym Challenge sets; they won't work. I recommend the Base Set Lv. 12 Pikachu.) and one of the said Raichu cards. Then throw in some Computer Searches (Base Set), Professor Elms (Neo Genesis), PokéBalls (Base Set) and Marys (Neo Genesis) to get to those cards faster. That way, you can knock it out quickly, and still have a powerful card Active. You could also throw in a Base Edition Electabuzz for something a little less time and energy consuming. [b]Electabuzz[/b] [b]Thundershock[/b] (1 Lightning Energy) Special Effect: Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now paralyzed. [b]Thunderpunch[/b] (1 Lightning, 1 Colorless Energy) Special Effect: Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage; if tails, this attack does 30 damage. That's my advice, anyway.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#707875]As the guy who actually runs the site...even I would urge you [i]not[/i] to visit while you're at school. School is for learning, not OtakuBoards. [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue]*cough* As a person who works for the guy that actually runs this site, I have to agree. True enough, schoolwork can be a bore or stressful, but that's no excuse to shirk off to get on anime website or whatever. I've seen that a few people get on to research things for school projects, but that's really the only reason you should get on them. Otherwise, you're taking time away from getting what's important; an education. I doubt a few Kenshin pics or some Blood: The Last Vampire character profiles will get you as far in life as a degree.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shinken [/i] [B]Again, HOLY CRAP THAT'S STRICT. I wouldn't last a day in that school. (Is it, like, a military academy or something? Juvenile is just way too harsh for missing a period of school.) [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue]No, I'm in just a regular old public high school. The thing about this is that truancy in our school district is a major problem. According to news reports, there are at least 300 kids who have missed at least 45 days of school in one semester with unexcused absences (Rule is, more than seven days with unexcused absences, parents get dragged to court). Our new superintendent, since our last was kicked out of office, has noticed this, and decided to do something about it. So, every school day downtown and on Wendsdays at my school, they did a truacy sweep. They caught about 75 downtown the first time they did it and around five at my school. Ms. Stier, my principal, decided that this was a wise idea, and decided to implement that policy. It is actually working, since when they first did it, the list that was announced over the PA had at least 50 kids on it, has been reduced to about 15. Though it works, I do agree that being sent to JD is somewhat harsh. They should come up with an alternative means of punishment, like a better version of ISS, or something. But there's nothing anyone can do unless parents complain, and I really don't see that happening any time soon. *shrugs*[/color]

[color=darkblue]It's perfectly fine for anyone who has signed up to play two or more characters, providing you can keep up with them. In fact, I really encourage it, simply due to the fact we really only have one vermin as of now. ^^; To answer the other question, yes, Blayne is the current Badger Lord of Salamandastron. All Long Partol members are under his command right now. Also, another point that someone so happened to bring up, Abbeybeasts aren't armed or armored all the time, not even the Skipper when in the Abbey. They usually keep their weapons down in Cavern Hole stored somewhere so Dibbuns won't find them and hurt themselves. I kindly ask that everyone who signed up as such to dress in normal (whatever you may consider that to be) attire while in the Abbey. You may change if and when you leave, or something else comes up. (Hint) Blayne and hares may be armed, save when in the Abbey. I'll post these sign-ups for myself now, so you won't be left in the dark about our protagonist and antagonist, lol. [b]Name:[/b] Blayne Widesheath [b]Age:[/b] 23 seasons [b]Species:[/b] Badger [b]Description:[/b] Moderate size for a Badger; brown eyes and slightly grayed fur. Wears a chain-mail tunic and sliver gauntlets; has a large broadsword strapped across his back. [b]Bio:[/b] Blayne was born deep inside Mossflower Wood and raised there by a guardian female hare named Litefoot, due to the fact that both his parents died when he was very young from old age. He led a very good childhood under Litefoot, however, learning everything a babe should from her, and never having to worry about going hungry. Upon turning 14 seasons old, Blayne began having his dreams of going to Salamandastron and becoming Badger Lord. Litefoot knew that this would happen, and agreed to escort him there, where she would serve him as part of the Long Patrol. Along the way, however, they came under attack by a vermin horde on the way back to their ship, and a great battle ensued. Both Blayne and Litefoot put up a valiant fight, but the vermin's numbers overcame them. Blayne was knocked unconsious, and Litefoot was killed. Upon Blayne's awakening and seeing that his best friend and guardian was gone forever, he swore he would one day get even with the vermin that did this and send them to Hellgates by his own paw. He buried Litefoot, and after some grieving time, continued on his quest to Salamandastron and eventually got to the Western Shore. He was warmly recepted by the Long Patrol and immediately accepted as Lord. Once settled, he began crafting his sword at the Salamandastron Forge, a large broadsword, to be ready in case the vermin horde that took Litefoot away from him would so happen to return, and he coule exact his revenge... [b]Name:[/b] Bladefang [b]Age:[/b] 24 seasons [b]Species:[/b] Stoat [b]Description:[/b] Honey-toned fur and brown eyes; wears a black tunic and a scimitar stuck in his belt; has slightly oversized fangs that stick out of his mouth and a bit of his left ear is missing and a long scar across his face from a battle he was engaged in a while back; has three earrings in right ear. [b]Bio:[/b] Bladefang is a stoat never to be trifiled with. When he was still a young one, he plotted and succeeded in taking over his vermin horde from his father and brother, hence the latter part of his name, the Merciless. He travels the seas in his ship, [i]Bloodrunner[/i], in order to find new places to pilage and bring death and misery to. He is always in love of a fight and will not back down from any beast who challenges him, no matter who they are, though there was a fight he slightly regrets getting into. About nine seasons back, he and his horde came across a badger and hare traveling together. Knowing that taking out a badger woiuld be sure to boost his reputation, he attacked them both and soon got the whole horde involved, as the badger caught the Bloodwrath. Many of his troops were killed in the midst of battle, not only by the badger, but the hare as well. Bladefang finally managed to knock the badger out after it took out a piece of his ear and gave him a long scar across his face, and then killed the hare for her part in the battle. Knowing the badger wasn't dead and fearing it would wake up any minute, he returned to his ship and set sail for his home on the Northern Shores. He knew then that he had made an eternal nemesis and began preparing for the day when they would inevitably meet again... Hopefully I can get this off the ground today, but my time is running short, as I have to do some things involving the holiday. If I can't, you can be most assured this will start Friday. I'll send PM reminders to everyone, just in case. Thanks for your patience. ^^[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#707875]Hopefully we can create a very simple ratings system and accompanying rules in order to guide the creation of these new RPGs. [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue]To me, the easiest thing to implement would be the same ratings system the American (I have no idea if it's in effect elsewhere) FCC has developed for television (G, PG, PG14, M, and the sub-catagories L, S, D, V). General (or G) would be your base stuff (i.e. Sara's Care Bear RPG), PG would be the next step up with more teenagerly (for lack of better term) situations, PG14 for slightly more intense stiuations than the former, and M is pretty much self-explanatory. The sub-catagories for language (L), sexuality (S), suggestive dialouge (D) and violence (V) would have to be added, if nessecary, to anything above a G-rating. That's my thought about the thing, anyway.[/color]

[color=darkblue]Valen is right, to an extent. The MP3 file would be illegal to download without paying for it, but the MIDI file would be free bait, pretty much. You would be best off searching Altavista's Audio Search Engine or Google. (Type in MIDI files- Pokemon- Lugia's Song) Either that, or putting a request in your signature for someone to do the search for you.[/color]

[color=darkblue]Everyone's sign-ups so far have been well done (though I'm waiting on Lrb to finish.) Since we seem to have an overrun of Abbeybeasts, I'll be playing Bladefang (unless someone signs up as him/her in the next few days) and some people (myself included) may have to make up some NPCs to round out the story. Long Patrol members may have to semi-play Blayne as well, if no one signs up as him/her. (You notice I keep saying "him/her", since they can really be either. I remember seeing a female rat named Slipgut or something to that extent in one of the books. Taggerung or Loamhedge, methinks.) Anyways, aside from that, I'll give sign ups another day, so this may start tomorrow, provided I can get the opener done tonight. The latest this will start is Wendsday, since we get out for Thanksgiving break tomorrow. It's okay if you don't post until after Thursday, but if you don't post by Saturday, be expecting a PM from me. Fair warning. ^_~[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Desbreko [/i] [B][color=indigo]How do Meganium's stats measure up to Venusaur's?[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue]This took way too long on my part, lol.

[color=darkblue]Very nice chapter, Solo. How you described everything so well was great to me. And once again, Charles' lines had me laughing for a good ten minutes, lol. Keep up the good work. ^^[/color]

[color=darkblue]Our school is currently [i]trying[/i] to be that strict. The backpack searches they issue when you come in have gotten a lot more serious lately. They also have a no-pass policy in effect and if you need to go to the restroom or something, you have to have an administrative escort. It's all very stupid, as none of it actually works. The only thing that does is the new "Hall Sweep" rule, where if you come tardy to 1st period, you automatically get a parent conference and if your parents don't come, you get sent to Juvenile for truancy. If you're caught skipping from 2nd-6th, you're automatically suspended for three days. They've already caught over 100 people. It's my assumption that all this is to prevent school violence and to have kids actually come to class. I can understand this to a certain extent, but its largely a big waste of time and effort. I guess that's my roundabout way of saying she wasn't exaggerating. ^^;[/color]

[color=darkblue]Ho-oh made an appearance in the very first episode, Moltres appeared at the start of the Indigo Plateau Conference, Articuno appeared in the Search for Articuno Mini-Arc (the last ep of the three-part series), Lugia appeared in the first episode of the Mysterious Pokémon Mini-Arc, Zapdos appeared in the Master Quest episode where there was a special jewel at the bottom of a lake that helped heal Electric Pokémon. (If you wanted specific episode names and numbers, sorry but that's all I can do at the moment, lol. Just tell me, and I'll gladly step off the floor.)[/color]

[color=darkblue][i]Among the Dibbuns of Redwall Abbey, there is a tale they always enjoy to hear. It is a story of a famous group of Redwallers, some young and not so young, sent on a quest by Martin the Warrior, the spirit of Redwall Abbey. Thiers was a journey to help the great Badger Lord, Blayne Widesheath, defeat a great verminhorde, led by Bladefang the Merciless, a horrible stoat from the Northern Shores. There's a great amount of adventure, fighting, treachery and danger, but how else would a story become such a favorite among Dibbuns? You're always welcome at Redwall to listen to a tale or two here in Cavern Hole. Who knows? It may become a favorite of yours as well.[/i] If you've read any book from the Redwall series by Brian Jacques, you'll know what to expect here. Even if you haven't (though I do recommend it. It's a very good series), it's pretty easy to grasp the basic concept. To help people out, I'll include some location and character descriptions. [u][b]Locations[/b][/u] [b]Redwall Abbey-[/b] This greatr red sandstone Abbey was founded by the mice of Loamhedge. Also responsible for its foundation was Martin the Warrior, a fearless Warriormouse, whose blade and spirit still reside in Redwall Abbey. Known all around Mossflower Wood for its great feast and friendly atmosphere, Redwall is a safe haven for anybeast who may need it. [b]Mossflower Wood-[/b] This thick woodland where Redwall is located. Bountifu in many ways, Mossflower is home to many a creature, including vermin. Alos located in Mossflower Wood is the Great River, which is frequented by the Guorafs (Guerilla Union of Roving and Fighting Shrews. Formerly the Guosim.) who are glad to help any goodbeast that so happens to need a ferry or a steady paw in battle. They are also great friends of Redwall. [b]Salamadastron-[/b] Salamandastron is the home of the great Badger Lords, located on the Western Shore. All Badgers are destined to one day come to rule this mountain and live out the rest of their days. It is also the home of the Long Patrol, the band of perilous hares led by the Badger Lord. [b][u]Good Beasts[/u][/b] [b]Mice-[/b] Mice are the adventurous bunch of the Redwall world. The are extremely wise in their actions in their later seasons, but ar quite headstrong growing up. Martin the Warrior and Mariel are two fine examples of redwall Warriormice. [b]Squirrels-[/b] Squirrels are the livewires of the Redwall lot. They have a tendency to do everything quickly, from running, to talking, to tree-climbing, and losing their tempers. They obviously can't sit in one place for too long. They're always eager to make frineds with anybeast (provided they can keep up with them) and are invaluable in battle for their scout capabilities. [b]Moles-[/b] If there was never a wiser creature in the Redwall world, moles would top the pile. Always willing to lend a claw to dig, or offer a piece of their famous mole logic in their quaint "mole-speak"*, they are truly great beasts to have as a friend/ally. They do have a deep fear of running water, however. *Ex. of "mole-speak"- "Hurr, zurr h'Abbot! I'um be gurtly happy you'm bain't hurted!" Translation- "Ho, Sir Abbot! I'm greatly happy you're not hurt!" [b]Otters-[/b] Otters are the most fearsome fighters to ever dip paw in a river (though shrews may disagree). True water beast, otters are never ones to back down from a challenge and can navigate any body of water as good as any fish or Guoraf. There is often a group of otters, led by a Skipper, that lives in Redwall until summer, then they go off to the Eastern Shores until harvest-time. [b]Hedgehogs-[/b] Hedgehogs are the best Cellarkeepers that anybeast can ever hope to meet. They are quite famous for brewing the best of any drink, and are the most well-known at Redwall for their October Ale. They're often more than willing to help out anybeast in need, and always enjoy a good spike-tussling match. [b]Hares-[/b] A hare's first thought is always his stomach. More prone to worry about where his next meal is coming from than any bit of danger, hares are still very valuable creatures in their ability to run at high speeds and amazing natural fighting talent. They are often the comedians of any group and also love to produce ballads, though there hasn't been one yet that can sing on-key. [b]Badgers-[/b] Badgers are gruff beasts (though they do have a soft spot for babes) who basically live to fight. The sworn enemy of all sea vermin and Corsairs, badgers live at Salamandastron on the Western Shore and command the Long Patrol. Many in the past have been gifted with some form of the Sight, and all of them have been cursed with the Bloodwrath, which, in the midst of battle, sends them into a murderous rage where the lines of friend and foe become blurred and everything and everybeast in his path is destroyed... [u][b]Bad Beasts/Vermin[/b][/u] All vermin are pretty much the same; stupid, evil and greedy. The only thing they mainly think about is getting hold of as much loot as they can. Occasionally, there is one who can work it's way to the top and become a hordeleader. They're usually the most heartless, cruel beast you can imagine, willing to kill even babes to get what they want. Foxes, rats, stoats, weasels and ferrets round out their lot. ---- Sign-up goes like this: [b]Name: Age*: Species: Description: Bio: *[/b]Age in the Redwall world is measured in seasons, rather than years. From 0 to 6 seasons is a Dibbun (or babe/child), 7 to 13 seasons is a teenager, and from 14 seasons on is full-grown. Generally, Martin the Warrior picks who will go on quests from Redwall in the poem he recites during somebeast's dream, so I'm not going to mess with tradition. Though more than likely everyone will be accepted (I'm not setting that in stone), only select ones will go on the journey. There are still things to be done at the Abbey, so don't get discouraged if you're not picked. I have something in mind for those who are left behind. I want everyone to keep in mind that we'll be needing travellers, vermin horde members (yes, there are some Captain spots open), and Long Patrol members. I'll explain more as people sign up. If you have any questions, PM me. Have fun. ^^[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]I say we just get rid of the whole crappy forum and then everything will be solved.... [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue]Save for the inevitable riot... As everyone has said, I can understand the viewpoint in a certain way, but there's really no way to moderate Adventure Arena in that way. Like James said, there's been many a person in their 20s that posts like they're a pre-teen, so rooting out who's what age would be a difficult (and tedious) task. I'll have to follow the flock and say that as long as they're mature enough to keep the RPG up and decent enough, everything should be peachy.[/color]

[color=darkblue]I am officially envious of you know, Tori. I used to love those things, especially all the cat ones. The only one I ever got was Amber, but I still have her, and she's mint condition. I never once played with her. Just held her a lot. She still lays on my computer to this day. My other cat, a plush from Toys 'R' Us' Animal Alley has kind of brushed her out of the way, lol. ^^;[/color]

[color=darkblue]I'll do the honors this week. This Week's Pokemon:[/color] [b][color=green]Meganium[/color][/b] [color=darkblue][b]Official Information:[/b] The aroma that arises from its petals contains a substance that calms aggressive feelings. I personally like Meganium simply because it can use the Bright Beam combo (Sunny Day/Solarbeam). Though it's not the best Pokémon to use for that sort of thing, I still like it anyway. I haven't trained one for myself (only for a friend), but I believe it's still an all-around good Pokémon.[/color]

[color=darkblue][i]"Azarath Metrion Zinthos... Azarath Metrion Zinthos...."[/i] Raven sat in a deep meditative state in her room, once again training her mental self. She was locked in combat with her angry self, when suddenly someone started pounding on the door. This immediately broke her concentration and fell on the floor, much to her annoyance. She growled silently and walked over to it, opening it marginally just to see who it was. It just so happened to be none other that the Titan leader, Robin. "What?" Raven said dryly. "We've got a situation. We need everyone downstairs now," he replied, and walked off. "Great..." Raven pulled up the hood of her cloak and stalked out of the room, still annoyed Robin brought her out of her training. "So much for a somber afternoon..."[/color]
