Katana

I think the Golden Sun series would make an awesome anime series. It's half-way anime, in a sense. The only problem would be with the voices. I have this certain sound wave in my head as what all the voices would sounds like, and the dubbers would probably ruin it. *cries as she imagines Piers's voice* (Although, as mentioned on the Mercury Lighthouse tagboard, if somebody was to make an anime series out of Golden Sun and it's sequel, they'd probably ruin it.)

It's slightly larger than the banner limits, but just the height by 26 pixels (500x126). [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=531308[/img] I love this picture of Meryl! I thought it went great with the theme. ^^

I did have you in my post...and we better get bad to work. The mods are about to kill us. *fending off angry mods* ------------ "Yessir!" Katana and another girl shouted. She turned and looked. "Konichiwa," said Katana. The girl nodded. "Yeah, same to you. I assume that you three are from Katikasha?" "Yeah," Kuruki replied. "On business, if you can call it that." Sanouske turned his head to listein to the conversation. "Katikasha? What's that, some new city?" "No," replied Yuka, "It's the Junior High we all came from, in Tokyo." "Junior High? What the hell is that?" The girl sighed. "N-nothing. Never mind, we didn't say anything." Sano shrugged. "Whatever you say." They five walked on, drawing strange looks from people on the street. About five minutes after the "confusing" conversation, the girl turned to Yuka, Katana, and Kuruki. "By the way, my name's Amaya." "Good to have you aboard," said Katana with an outreached hand. Amaya grinned. "Did you hear that you dudes?" Kuruki shouted back to Kit and Kaz, "Her name's Amaya!" The argument between the boys stopped. "That's nice!" Kaz shouted back.

Darn you Conna...I had to delete my whole post...

*laughs like crazy* [fun post] ---------- "Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-" "SANOUSKE!" Yuka yelled in Katana's ear. She didn't even flinch. "Sa-Sa-Sa-Sano-Sano-Sano-Sano-SANOUSKE!!!" Katana yelled, running at top speed to catch up to him. She finally did and jumped, then grabbed his waist with no intention of letting go. "What the..? Who the hell are you?" Sanouske asked, a look of slight disgust on his face as he looked down at the girl. "SANO!" Katana yelled even louder, her eyes very big and sparkly. "WOW! It's really you, in the flesh, not anime form!" Turning around to look at Kit, Kaz, and Yuka, Sanouske asked, "Do you know her? If you do, is she sane?" Yuka sighed. "Yeah, I guess we do." "I think she's sane," added Kaz. "But hyper," finished Kit. "And what did she mean by [i]anime[/i]?" "N-nothing!" said Katana suddenly. [i]"Don't want him to know he's not real. But if he's not real then...then what am I clinging on to? ...He smells good."[/i] "Ah...so you can talk," Sanouske said, looking down at Katana again. He gave her the Sano smile. Katana melted to the ground. "Ahhhhhhh...." she said in a dreamy voice. Yuka walked up to Katana and slapped her face. "HELLOOOOOOO! Wake up lover girl!" "Huh? Wha? What? ...Where's Sano? SANOUSKE?!?!?! WHERE'D YOU GO?" "Shut up!" Kaz hissed. Katana nodded. In the distance they heard voices. ...."Killed six police swordsmen..." ...."Just children...." ...."Supposivly more..." "MORE?" came a shocked women's voice. "Haven't they killed enough already? And where did they come from?" "School," Kit muttered. --------------- [/fun post]

[color=teal]*Mod-approved double post. Post above was spam and was deleted. -Syk3[/color] ^^ I will explain later. I'm feeling kinda lazy (and I have to study for my Constitution test...~_~) Yeah. I made this because I really did feel like like it. Um...yeah. I just thought up this quote while I was looking through my hardrive and saw a Sai Saici image. "Never underestimate the power of an idiot!" [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=530925[/img] Hehe, isn't it cute? ^^

Woah, two pages! I'm so happy...*sings the happy song* ---------------- Katana watched as the girl ran off. She sighed and looked back at the fight. "Stop this madness!" one of the police dudes said. "Or you'll be arrested!" "That is, if you beat us," replied Kaz, who had an oddly evil look on his face. Katana grinned and laughed, her best 'hahaha-I-am-evil-look-at-me' laugh. "Strange," said a girl. "Woah! Oh hey....wait a minute..." The sixth grader in the kimono turned around and looked at the slightly older girl. "You don't look that familiar...kinda like a guy..." "I am NOT a guy!" Katana yelled, her voice echoing throughout the Meiji neighborhood. The sixth grader's eyes widened. "Geez geez, sorry," she mumbled. "I'm Yuka, by the way." "Katana." "Funky name." "I think it's cool." Yuka shrugged and continued watching the ramaining fight. Kit was easily battling against the last policeman. The other five lay on the ground, dead, they're bodies horribly decapitated. "This is what you would see," Katana whispered into Yuka's ear, "In the un-cut version of Rurouni Kenshin." Yuka didn't give a respose. Instead, she watched intently as Kaz's blade killed the last policeman. "Thank God that's over," Kit said as he and Kaz walked up to the two girls. "It was fun while it lasted, buy really annoying." Katana grinned. "I know. Dudes like that usually don't pose a threat." "Where's that other girl?" Kaz wondered, looking around. The only people besides them were the dead police. "She went out on her own to look for Kenshin," replied Yuka. "Problem," said Kit suddenly. "What?" Yuka and Kaz asked in unison. "Since we - [i]you[/i] guys - killed those policemen, we're gonna be, uh, wanted," said Katana nervously. "Ah crap," Kaz said, sighing. "Yeah. How 'bout we move?" said Kit, moving towards the street. The three nodded and followed.

Odd looks because...I am the name of a weapon? ^^; ----------- "Ah crap!" shouted Katana. "What do they want with us? We didn't do anything wrong," said Kaz, a look of wonderment on his face. "...We have swords..." said Kit uneasily. "...And in the Meiji Era..." continued Katana. "...They're illegal," finished Kaz. (I just realized all three of those names begin with K..^^; ) The three looked at each other and began to run. The policemen were running too, but because of the fact that they were adults, didn't run as fast as the three (former) students. "I think - we'll be able - to lose them soon," said Kaz, breathing heavily along with the other two. "I never realized - how heavy - swords - can be," huffed Katana. "You three!" one of the policemen yelled, "Stop at once!" "No way!" Kit shouted back. "Hey, look!" said Katana. "An alley! Maybe we can lose them!" "Worth a shot," replied Kaz. "You come back here!" the police yelled, running past the alley. "Close," said Kit. "Very close."

"Owww....." Katana grumbled, picking herself up. The women was screaming. "Demon!" she yelled. "You...thing of magic! Get away from me!" "Suit yourself," Katana mumbled, turning around. A piece of cloth touched her chin. Being the type of of person, she inspected. Her outfit worn just moments ago was gone. Katana now wore baggy brown pants, a white-ish tanktop, and a ripped up cape. Also, a turban type thingie was on her head. "Awesome..." she muttered, looking at the two blades in their sheaths. She patted them and began to walk. "Seriously! I don't know how I killed him!" "Yeah right! He's lying right there on your blade by accident!" "He [i]was[/i]. ...Until he fell to the ground, I suppose. But that doesn't matter! The thing is, I didn't kill him, okay? Just get theat through your thick head!" Katana ran over to get a good look at the two. They didn't look too much older than she was. "Hey you," said the boy accussing the first one. "Yeah you. Shorty." --------- Thanks for posting guys!

Okay, I think that, if you really want to, we can have one more character. ^^ It doesn't pose a problem for me.

If you need any info on the characters, go [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?threadid=34946]here[/url]. Let?s get started. ----------------- [I]Present Era 8:05 am Homeroom ? 1st Period Passing Time [/I] ?I still say Kenshin?s cuter.? ?Nope. Sanouske all the way man.? ?You?re pathetic Katana. He?s a rooster head.? ?Yeah? And Kenshin?? ??Is a hottie?? ?Pathetic Iva. Really.? The day had begun with the usual debate about which RK guy was cuter. As usual, Katana had taken Sano?s side, Iva (one of her best friends) had taken Kenshin?s. Tani, another one of Katana's best friends, kept out of the fight. She intently read the book in her hands. ?Aoshi. Now that?s a man.? Katana and Iva turned to look at their last best friend, Ohkami. She stood erect, as if giving a speech. ?Good looking, clean, and handsome. Cute, hot, and good with a sword. And ? hey!? ?Forget it,? said Katana as she made her way towards the main hallway. ?You like to ramble on and on. And besides?I thought Krim was your man.? ?Oh yeah?? Katana laughed as a crowd of sixth graders walked by. One in particular stood out. [I]The air was gone as the world twisted. All colors were gone, just black and an eerie navy. Something tugged, yet wasn?t strong enough?[/I] Katana stood in the hallway, frozen. She breathed heavily as cold sweat trickled down her face. She shook her head and brushed the hair out of her eyes. Looking down towards the sixth grade wing, she saw the sixth grader, still walking, yet differently, as if limping. [I]?It?s nothing?I just imagined it??[/I] There was another flash of black and navy. Time slowed down as people?s clothing flashed between jeans and robes. [I]?I?m imagining things?this isn?t happening.?[/I] The bell rang, a digital reenactment of a real bell. This didn?t matter in Time?s eyes. Suddenly, Katana?s surroundings were swallowed up in total darkness. She was the only thing living, breathing, in this void. The black soon shot to white as Katana landed on hard earth. The first thing she heard was a women?s cry. ?Oh my God! Not another one!? ------------------------ Post how you got to the Meiji era please.

Okay, that's all five I needed. ^^ Thanks Inuluvr1 for the last signup. I will try and get this up in the Adventure Arena tonight. Otherwise, I promise I'll get it up by 7 pm (central time) tomorrow. ^^ Happy?

Yessssssssssss....just one more person and this is set! I can't believe how fast the sign-ups are coming in... I'm proud of myself, though, for creating a sucsessful RPG. Thankies! ^^

Here's my entry. You've seen it before, Ryu_Sakura, so you know what it is. ^^ [img]http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/katana/Piers.png[/img] I think I have a good chance of winning. Yup. Might as well ask to close the thred right now. ^^

^^ Um...the one on the previous banner is from a website. It's a graphic they made. :sweat: Yay, more GS banners, this time being a character from the first game. Her name's Mia and, like Piers, she's a Water Adept. [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=530051[/img] Kinda liked how it turned out. Initially, I had tried to make it so that every image cast a shadow due to the sunlight, but it didn't quite work out....*nervous laugh*

Yessss! My first sign up! Thanks a TON Zhang_He. (I love Dynasty Warriors...) Yayyy! Second sign up! ^^ Just four more to go....(Psst...Mai, your first link isn't working....) I wanted to say thanks also because I know this wans't a lot to go on. This is the true definition of "going off the top of my head". ^^;

(Ish slightly confused, but that's okay) That's okay. ^^ It's good to have someone who doesn't like something or something. I like making my banners busy and full, not empty. I like happy and fun stuff. ^^ I made this one about a mouth or so ago. I like it alot. Very plain and simple, yet strong, I suppose. [img]http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/katana/Always_On_My_Mind.png[/img] A Question for PaintShop Pro Users: Okay, does anybody besides me use those spiffy little picture frames that make the banner "curel" or have make the image have slashed edges? I seem to be the only one that uses those...

[I]Rurouni Kenshin is the big hit anime at Katikasha Junior High. Everybody who?s anybody is into it, swapping around fan fics and episode guides. The talk on Monday is usually about the latest episode, even if it is a re-run. There are arguments amongst the girls about which guy is cuter, as well among the guys on which girl is the hottest. Talks and lectures about Kenshin?s Hiten Mitsurugi style are usual to the teachers. Even if they have no idea what their students are talking about, they listen intently, just like any fan would. In the realm of Kenshin, however, things aren?t fun and games. Someone of dark power has come. Someone evil, strong, and ruthless. He has challenged Japan?s top warriors in duels to the death, with him being the bloody victor. His last invitation was to Hitokiri Battousai, the manslayer from the Meiji revolution. The man who goes by the name Aconite, has another secret. A secret of time. He has the power to control it, in a sense. In fact, he has created a rip in the continuum, and it has affected six students from Katikasha Junior High. In no way related, the six must work together along with Kenshin and the gang to defeat Aconite and return to their own time. But things change, romance blooms, and secrets left untold are revealed.[/I] -------------------------- Note: This takes place right after the battle with Shishio. Kenshin and Kaoru aren?t married yet, so their son hasn?t been born yet (duh). Basically, I need five other people to play the other students. This is what I need in the signups: Name: Gender: Age: (from 11-14) Grade: (6-8) Present Time Appearance: Meiji Era Appearance: Weapon: (used only in Kenshin?s era, limit of two, no guns) Personality: Bio: (just a paragraph or two about your character?s past, nothing extravagant) Thing They Miss the Most from the Present Era: (miss the most) (ex, TV, friends, fast food) Here?s mine: Name: Katana Mitsowari Gender: Female Age: 12 Grade: 7 Present Time Appearance: [url]http://www.anime-unleashed.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=1522[/url] (Minus the funky symbol and knife-thing Meiji Era Appearance: [url]http://www.anime-unleashed.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=1527[/url] (Just not a guy, minus the earrings) Weapon: Image above Personality: Generally an alter ego type. She can be sarcastic, fun loving, and goofy, but also dark and serious. Is an intelligent person but doesn?t show it much. Bio: Katana grew up as a lonely person, having few friends as a child. In her free time, she loved to draw and write, which is where her imagination grew. At the age of nine her family moved from their small farm in southern Japan to Tokyo, with Katana?s parents wishing to get their children a better education. Their wish was fulfilled, for their daughter at least, whom soon loved the giant city and it?s culture. A straight A student with a strange personality, Katana became one of six students who, one day mysteriously disappeared due to Aconite?s acts of time. Thing She Misses the Most: Anime/manga (yes, you can't let her go without those...) I really hope this works. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

[color=teal]*Mod-approved double post. Post above was spam and was deleted. -Syk3[/color] ... Gomen, sorry for not updating in a bit. ^^; I've been tied up with the Christmas banner contest and holiday shopping, and tonight I'm going to a Christmas party, which explains the banner. Shippo Greetings! Yay! I found this cute image and decided to make it into a banner. ^^ PS: Red is the offical color of X-mas, not red and green, so don't critisize me for not using green. :shifty: [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=529606[/img]

Yeah, I dropped off the face of the earth again... (I'm just taking a guess at what's going on. I'm really confused.) ------ [color=light blue][i]Stocatta...where are you...[/i][/color] [i]She wouldn't ditch me...would she? No...she wouldn't...she wouldn't dare....[/i] [i][color=green]Oh...if you only knew, child...[/color] [color=light blue]What the...you're like...Stocatta...but...different...[/color] [color=green]Different? No...You see, humanoid, we are not different. We are the same. [/color] [color=light blue]Huh? Wha...what did you just call me?[/color] [color=green]A humanoid, you stupid child. Do you not know your own heritage?[/color] Stocatta....help... [color=green]Stocatta can't help you know, fool. She's with me.[/color] [color=light blue]No! Let her go you jerk![/color] [color=green]If only she could hear you say that. She'd be pleased.[/color] [i]Do you MIND getting out of my head? I kinda like thinking to myself.[/i] [color=green]Yes...I'll leave you to your important thoughts.[/i] "What a fool...to believe that she actually cares for Stocatta..."[/color] "Stocatta...I have to find you..." Komeko pushed herself onwards in the desert. The man, with his chillingly soft voice, had given a clue. If she could just follow him, then she would have to find Stocatta... "Still...still, the thing...with the humanoid...what doess that mean? Am I...what I don't know I am? Am I really...one of Vash's kind?"

My friend Monica gave each of her friends two braclets as a sign of our friendship. I got blue and orange. I personally think that this is ridiculous. I mean, it's almost like parents are trying to dig up more ways to ban kids and the things they like to wear. 4th graders having sex? Oh come on. I don't know if these people took a reality/commen sense check before the decided to put this on the news. And besides, it's really hard to break those braclets without a pair of scissors.

To clear up any confusion, you may keep submitting entries [b]until December 25th[/b] (ex, until it turns midnight on the 24th). The judges will release their decisions on the 28th. Hope that helps. See ya guys later! ^_~

YAYYYY! GOLDEN SUN!!! I love the GS series, so I know everything about it.^^ That's a nice banner, however, it looks like it was thrown together pretty quickly. The image on the left is really cool and high quality (I rarely find that image so clear). It looks like you are also blessed with that goddam eraser tool because of the image of Issac on the right. Overall, like bad, it just looks like more effort could've been put into it. ^_~

Man, I worked my butt off trying to find this image...I think it's cute. ^^ [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=528527[/img] UPDATE: Yay!!! New and improved version of Shippo Greetings! is up. Tons better than the first one. ^^ I think my computer hates me know for saving as "Shippo Greetings!" so much (at least ten times). AHH! No...I still have to study for a science quiz...and a spelling test...and do some spelling homework....*weeps*

[color=teal]*Mod-approved double post. Post above was spam and was deleted. -Syk3[/color] Okay...uh...thanks? (What do you want me to do with your image?) Latest banner. Like I said, I'm featuring various Golden Sun people, and up next was Piers! ^^ He's my favorite...think he's cute...*more readers sweatdropping* Piers: [img]http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/katana/Piers.png[/img]
