He wears a bandanna over his head. [B]Weapons:[/B] Blitz is a swift fighter, and usually prefers to fight with his fists, but he carries two medium sized daggers at his sides for sword wielding enemies. He also uses explosives. [B]History:[/B] Blitz was born a child of three into a family of great thieves. His brother and sister's names were Jordan and Alyssa. The thieves of his family had skills that rivaled those of the infamous pirates. His father and mother often brought him along thieving, and he quickly became a master thief. Though thieves, the members of his family were good people, sort of Robin Hoods of their city of Garoughsbe. But of course, they did look out for themselves, and often stole to better their lives. At the age of 7 he had become so omnipotent at his ?craft? that his parents often went off on their own and left him with his brother and sister. He easily stole and provided fro his siblings while they were gone, and he always knew they?d come back. But one day, shortly after his 8th birthday, he received a letter from one of his parents subordinates. His parents had been slaughtered by a serial killer. They had been ambushed outside of the museum they were stealing from, and their bodies were found mutilated and torn apart. Blitz cried for hours, but took a hold of himself, knowing he would have to watch his siblings, and help them through this hard time in their life. He vowed that he would find the man responsible for his parents death and would bring him to justice. But not without his siblings being properly trained and ready to help. After many years, on his 15th birthday, he heard again of the killer who had murdered his parents. Up until that point in his life, him and siblings jumped from homes, usually those of great fighters. They learned martial arts, swordsmanship, stealth, and they sharpened their thievery skills. He was at a pub with his current keeper, a pirate by the name of Thorn Black Lightning, when he heard talk from another table. They were telling of how a bounty hunter had caught the serial killer who had been at large for years. His parents name were brought up, and he knew it was his man. But the news was bittersweet to his ears. That man may have been brought to justice, but he hadn?t done it. He despised that man, and others like him. He made another vow to himself at that moment. He would become a bounty hunter, and take down any who killed unjustly. His siblings mafe their own vows, similiar to his, and they went off their seperate ways, all to become great bounty hunters. [B]Personality:[/B] Blitz is as his nickname implies. Fast. Fast to think, to act, to speak. His comments, however, are never thoughtless or rude, nor his actions brash. He?s naturally tactical, bright, and calculated, thus acts as such without thinking about it. He?s great to be around as well. Everybody likes him, and he has quite the way with ladies. His carefree mannerisms and lifestyle tend to make others think he is easygoing and constantly relaxed, but he?s not. Blitz?s inner self harbors a fierce competitiveness and lust for power. He constantly challenges others to fights, to see just how strong he is. Always pushing himself to his limits, he would often go weeks training and then collapse from overstrain. He?s no longer that persistent, but he never passes up the chance for a good fight. That?s why he became a bounty hunter. What?s better than a fight with a hardened convict? [B]Specialty:[/B] Thieving, Fighting (hand to hand, swordplay, his mastery in fighting is what has earned him a great name as a bounty hunter.) [B]Snippet:[/B] [B]?Har, har, har! Good luck catching me, hunter! Yar should turn around now, afore I have to kill you as well!?[/B] They were at the docks, Blitz had managed to chase this pirate down here. Blitz stared at the man and snarled. This man, Jove of Insanity, had killed 20 people in one week, just to show off his strength. Blitz despised him. He wanted nothing more than for this man to die, and perish. But he had to bring him in. That was real justice. Murder was not. Jove sprang backwards and threw a dagger at Blitz. Blitz caught the dagger in front of him and chuckled mockingly. [B]?Did you think that would work? I?ve dodged bullets before you fool! Part of being a thief and a bounty hunter means being able to predict what your opponent will do, and reacting.?[/B] Blitz spun the dagger around and launched it at Jove. Jove slid to the side, dodging the dagger. He laughed. [B]?You speak powerful, bit ain?t got nuttin to back it up wit! Now I?ma teach you a lesson for tryin? my patience!?[/B] He attempted to jump forward but couldn?t. He was pinned to the wall behind him. Blitz ran forward and stood in front of Jove, smiling. He reacked into a pouch and pulled out a small bomb. Blitz waved it in front of Jove and started walking backwards. [B]?Trying your patience? Don?t make me laugh. A cold-blooded killer like you doesn?t know what patience means. Not that it matters. You?ll have all the time you need to figure out what patience is in jail.?[/B] Jove raised an eyebrow and laughed cockily. [B]?Yar think yar can put meh in jail? Yar may ?ave me pinned, but I won?t go in without a fight! Yar think I?ll just let them drag me in??[/B] Blitz smiled and nodded. [B]?Yup.?[/B] He threw the bomb in his hand at the floor in front of Jove. It exploded and a gas rose up from it. Jove struggled to resist it?s effect, but couldn?t. His eyes rolled back into his head and he passed out. Blitz smiled. He walked forwards and pulled the dagger from Jove?s sleeve. Jove?s limp body fell onto Blitz. Blitz snarled and pushed the body off. He looked off in the distance. [I]Another one bites the dust...Wonder if Alyssa and Jordan are having as much luck as me...[/I] [B]?The police?ll be hear any moment now, eh??[/B] Blitz spun around, assuming fighting stance. There was a man standing on top of the freight. A pirate, Blitz guessed by his attire. He eased up and smiled. [B]"What can I do for you good sir? Are you in need of my services?? [/B] The man grinned and jumped down in front of Blitz. He extended his hand, a big grin spread on his face. [B]?The name?s John Hervey, but I go by Red, and that?s exactly why I?m here. Looking for crewmates for my ship. I?m going after Longhorn?s treasure, and I need good men.?[/B] Blitz?s eyes opened wide. [I]Longhorn?s treasure?No one?s ever found that. My parents often spoke of that?I know it would make them proud if I were to find it?[/I]Red raised an eyebrow. [B]?Well, Mr. Blitz the Shadow Streak??[/B] Blitz smiled and took Red?s hand, shaking it. [B]?Hell, why not. The pollice?ll be here any moment, as you said, so why don?t we talk over a couple drinks??[/SIZE][/B][/color] [size=1][B]OOC: [/B] Hope it's okey-day Kamuro.

[SIZE=1][color=#663300]Vengeance dragged Virtue outside and smiled. It was beautiful outside, and he had been locked up inside for a couple days. Though he was outside for pleasure, his two blade's were with him, one at his side and one on his back. He never let his guard down. Virtue had his axe perched on back, but was still standing at the front door of their base. And he didn't look very happy. Vengeance chuckled. [B]"Was' wrong, buddy?"[/B] Virtue smirked and growled at Vengeance. [B]"Sholdn't we alert someone to that we're leaving? We actually shoudln't be leaving at all--" [/B] Vengeance shot a fireball at him, scorching his pants. Virtue frantically danced to put it out, while Vengeance rolled with laughter. He drew the flame back to him and wiped his eyes. [B]"Look...I'M GOING. You can stay if you please. I'll be back in due time." [/B] Virtue huffed and turned around, walking back in. Vengeance just shook his head. [I]Good man, but a little to uptight...[/I] Vengeance smiled, ran his hand through his hair, and continued walking. He didn't walk long, however, before running into a young man and a little girl. The young man ruffled the girls hair. [B]"Is there somewhere in your village where I can stay?"[/B] The little girl looked slightly confused, and thought for a second. Vengeance walked towards them. [B]"I know a place where you can stay."[/B] The man turned to him quickly, using one arm to sheild the little girl, and using the other to reach for something at his side. Vengeance held his hands up. [B]"Ey, ey. Don't worry. I'm jes' offerin' a place to stay. My treat...So long as your not for Justice..."[/B] The man frowned. [B]"So you're not partial to Gears, eh?"[/B] Vengeance broke out into laughter. He took a step forward and shoved his hand out. [B]"My name's Vengeance. Sub-Commander Gear of the Renegade Gears, at your service." [/B] The man opened his eyes wide, and smiled. He took Vengeance's hand and shook it. [B]"A Gear, eh? Well, my name's Anji Mito. You said something about a place to stay?"[/B] Vengeance grinned and nodded, then pointed off to the East. Anji looked over, and shrugged. [B]"Yes?" [/B] [B]"I'm going into town for a bit. Gonna' have a couple drinks, get me somein' to eat, then I'll head back to my base. That's where you can stay. But you'll have to come with into town, alright?"[/B] Anji nodded and smiled. [B]"Sure. I'm kind of thirsty myself. So where are we going?"[/B] Vengeance smiled. [B]"A place called the Fallen Angel Inn. It's got good grub and drinks th--"[/B] The litle girl tugged on Vengeance's pants. [B]"The Fallen Angel Inn? My mama and papa own that place! I'll bring you there."[/B] Vengeance and Anji smiled. Vengeance pat the girl on the head. [B]"Was' your name?" [/B] The girl smiled. [B]"My name's Sandy. And my doggie's name is Gere. Come on, lets go!" [/B] She grabbed Anji's hand and Vengeance's hand and pulled them along, Gere running behind them.[/color] [B]OOC:[/B] Hope that's okey-day Imi, Sakura, Lilt, and Blackjack. I figure it'd be cool for our characters to meet early on.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][color=#663300][B]"Take this!" [/B] Vengeance's foot collided with the face of another Sub-Commander that was part of the Renegade Gears. His name was Virtue. He had jet black hair, red eyes, and wore a crimson trench coat. The two were sparring. Virtue slid into the wall, almost smashing through it. He jumped up and lunged at Vengeance, who grabbed Virtue's arm and flung him over to the other side of the room. Virtue growled and grabbed an axe off the wall. Vengeance laughed. [B]"Weapons now, eh? A'ight, les' go!"[/B] Vengeance raised his hand, and a plume of flame shot his blade, Feuer Bersten Säbel, into his hand. He gripped the blade with both hands, and grinned at Virtue. [B]"Have at it!" [/B] Virtue spun the axe over his head, letting it gain momentum. Vengeance watched, waiting for him to make a move. Virtue took the initiative, swinging his blade at vengeance's legs. Vengeance jumped forward, landed, ducked underneath the twirling axe, and struck Virtue with the back of his blade. Virtue snarled, and swung around, bringing the axe down with an unearthly force. Vengeance swiftly dodged it, but the blow caused the ground to split, and lightning to spring up from it. Vengeance summoned his sheath, sheathed his blade, and put it back at the side. [B]"Alright. That's enough for today. The other Sub-Commanders need a turn in here."[/B] Virtue nodded and dropped the axe. They walked out together, and went to the bar. They had taken a tavern as their base, so it accomadated them perfectly. Vengeance bought driks for the two and they sat down. Virtue looked to Vengeance. [B]"Where do you think Sol has disapeared to, anyway?"[/B] Vengeance just shrugged. [B]"Doesn't matter. He'll come back when he's good and ready. Yup, yup, the good doctor'll come back in time..."[/B] Vengeance took another sip of his beer and leaned back in his chair, relaxing. Vengeace had heard Sol leave, but wasn't interested in knowing where he was going. Virtue wasn't satisfied, though. [B]"He's our leader now! He shouldn't just jet like that wit'out tellin' us where he's off to."[/B] Vengeance waved his hand too shut Virtue up and took another swig of beer. [B]"We worked well wit'out him afore... Yes he's a great asset to have," he threw in, noticing the look on Virtue's face, "but we can't rely soley on him. Our goal is to destroy Justice and Dizzy. It's not like we're completely helpless wit'out 'im. So don't worry. Anyway, somein' tells me that by the time dis is all over...He'll play a major part, so we can be assured whatever he's doin' now is for the good of us all."[/B] Vengeance opened his mouth to say something else, stopped himself, and drank some more beer. He liked Sol, he had to admit it, and his power was amazing. Sol would help them in the long run, and that was good enough or him. He finished his beer and stood up. He turned, smiling to Virtue. [B]"You wanna head into town?"[/B] [/color][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC: No worries. This fight will be. Oh, and about the powers, I'm a sorcerer and can enhance my weapons using magic. Mugen said it was alright.[/B] [COLOR=DarkRed]Koro gazed at the man in front of him. Koro had been watching him, and was quite impressed. He had taken one of Saukra's ninjas and two of his samurai. This would be a battle he would enjoy. Koro smiled at his opponent. [B]"Before we continue, I must make myself known to such a worthy advesary. My name is Zanzaro Korogata. Yours?"[/B] The man nodded and repiled. [B]"My name is Yagyu Hajime. It will be a pleasure to do battle with you, Korogata-san."[/B] Koro gripped his blade tightly and grew serious. [B]"The pleasure is mine, Hajime-san."[/B] Koro unsheathed his blade and lunged at Hajime. Hajime swiftly dodged his attack, swung his blade, and struck at Koro's back. Koro barely managed to jump away from the strike, the side of his armor cut. Koro's eyes thinned as he looked over Hajime. Koro raised his blade over his head and took stance again. Hajime made the first move this time. He took two steps to the side, ducked down, then lunged at Koro. Koro brought his blade down quickly, deflecting the blow. Koro brought his blade back up and swung it down again feircely. Hajime dodged, but wasn't fast enough. His shoulder was cut and blood splattered on the ground. Hajime growled angrily and with a speed that rivaled a cheetahs, sprang up to his feet and assaulted Koro's legs with his blade. Koro couldn't parry all of the blows, and recieved two deep gashes to his left leg. He collaped, using his katana as a crutch. Hajime rose his blade over his head and looked at Koro. [B]"You're quite the warrior. To bad it is to end here..."[/B] He swung his blade down with all of his might. Koro grabbed his wakizashi with left and and blocked the strike, knocking himself off balance. He continued to fight with Hajime, and managed to severely wound his left arm. Hajime struck again and knocked the wakizashi from Koro's hand. He pulled his blade iin with his right hand, and lunged at Koro's heart. [B]"Got...uh--!?"[/B] Blood spurted from Hajime's mouth. He looked down and saw Koro in front of him, a bloodied mess, holding the katana he had been using as a crutch. Moreso, he was holding it in Hajime's stomach. As Hajime struck, Koro, with the last of his might, stuck back. And they were both impaled in the stomach. The two men kealed over. Koro laughed, coughing up blood. [B]"Not bad...*cough*...Best fight I've had in a l..long time..."[/B] Hajime chuckled and nodded. Two of Takeda's medics ran over and put Hajime on a stretcher. They started carrying him away when Koro called to him. [B]"You'd better live. I want to fight you again, while we're both in top performance." [/B] Hajime rose his hand up in approval and then was carried away. Koro lay there for a while, untill Sakura found him. She stifled a gasp and knealt over his body. [B]"Koro! Are you okay?"[/B] Koro nodded weakly. Sakura looked around and spotted their medics. She called them over and had them put Koro on a stretcher. Koro grabbed Sakura's hand and smiled. [B]"That was one hell of a battle. Tell me how it finished when I wake up..."[/B] Then he passed out.[/COLOR] [B]OOC: Hope that's alright, Freier Geist. Tell me if you'd like anything changed. ^__^[/B][/SIZE]

Whenever he led Gears into battle they would most likely come out victorious, and Justice and Testament began to take notice of that. They often sent him off on one man missions, and he would complete them without a second thought. Despite his fierce determination and warrior's heart, he was/is a person of compassion. He knows the extent of his strength and that he is more powerful than most humans and gears, but he treats every enemy the same in battle. He learns their strengths, their abilities, and never underestimates them. He wants greatly to destroy the monsters Justice and Dizzy, and will stop at nothing to do so. Both the human and the Gear inside of Vengeance tells him that what they are doing is wrong, and that they are the reasons humans hate gears. Though he hopes that Humans may one day accept Gears, his is not foolish, optimistic, nor naive enough to expect that to happen. [B]Physical Description:[/B] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/Vengeance.jpg]Vengeance[/URL] His hair is golden, and his eyes are an unearthly crimson color.

He was raised a warrior, trained to weild and use effeciently every weapon known to man. He was a prodigy among teenagers, he was one of the few apprenticeses in The Sacred Order of The Holy Knights who could beat some of the adult Knights. He mentally aged quickly, becoming a brilliant strategist in his early adulthood. He often planned battle formations, but he loved moreso to go into battle himself. One day the war came to his hometowon, and destroyed it. No man, woman, or child was left alive. His wife, so, and daughtered were all slaughtered. Out of rage he went recklessly into battle and fought the Gears. He had no chance, however, and was easily felled. He was close to dying, and they took him in. Justice changed him, and made him a gear. That day Kaine died, and Vengeance was born. He was one of the specially created Sub-Commander Gears. Although for a time Vengeance followed Justice he never trusted her. The free will he had, and the human subconcious that still dwelled inside of him told him that what she was doing was wrong. Some others of the Sub-Commanders felt the same, so they fled Justice and created the Renegade Gears, a faction dedicated to destroying Justice and Dizzy. He one of the Generals their and leads the Gears with the strategical mind his human counterpart possesed. He has often had run-ins with the Sub-Commander Re and has fought with her, but found that he could not defeat her. Her loyalty to Justice fueled her in battle. But Vengeance never faltered either. His lust to destroy Justice kept him going in the same way Re's loyalty did. Vengeance has made it one of his top prioritys to beat her, as she poses a catastrophic threat against his soldiers and their mission to annihalate Justice and Dizzy.[/SIZE] [/COLOR] [SIZE=1][B]OOC:[/B] I hope that everything is okay Ichigo.

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Karl walked out of the diner, dazed. [I]The Lords of hell...Shades...Mephistopheles...I can't believe it...[/I] He opened the car door, slumping into his seat. He had promised Kristan he'd be home soon, but the meeting had taken longer then expected. He drove off towards home. But he took the long way. There was to much for him to think of. He drove onwards, absentmindedly. A black flash flew over his car, with horrid yellow eyes. [I]A Shade[/I]. Karl slammed on the brakes and looked into the darkness, but it was gone. But he was sure of it. It had been a Shade. He sat in his car, his disbeliefs finally confirmed. He didn't have time to contimplate it, however. A scream split the night silence. KArl jumped out of his car and ran in the direction of the scream. A young woman was sitting their, all alone. She was just sitting there, motionless. He approached her, and her head tilted back. Her eyes glowed a bright yellow and her mouth hung open. She had fangs. [B]"Die!"[/B] Karl jumped backwards as the shade took it's original form. Karl raised his sleeve, exposing his rings. He snapped and a plume of flame danced around his hand. He shot it at the Shade, but it jumped out of the way. It clawed at Karl's shoulder, connecting. Karl growled and jumped backwards again. He pulled out a handgun and waite for the Shade to come at him again. It lunged directly forward, and Karl aimed at its forehead. Karl lit the bullet ablaze when it fired from the gun, and it struck the Shade with dead accuracy. A blood-curling scream tore from it as its ody disintegrated. Karl sighed and ran back to his car, driving home as quickly as he could. He had to make sure Kristan was okay. He got home in no time, and pulled swiftly into his driveway. He jumped out of the car, ran to the door, and quickly unlocked it. Kristan was sitting there, watching tv. He sighed hapily and took a seat next to her. He held her close and kissed her passionately. He took her hand in his and it squeezed it gently. [B]"There's something I need to tell you."[/B] He spent the rest of the night explaining the meeting.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Kaion laughed at the scared expression on the demon's face. He flapped his giant dragon wings tauntingly. Kaion grabbed his blade, grinning at the demon. [B]"Your move."[/B] The demon growled and summoned another creature. A shadow behemoth. It had glowing red eyes, and darkness emited from every part of it's body. The demon laughed nervously. [B]"You won't defeat the Shadow Behemoth, Kirayu! No man has lived against his might!"[/B] It reared it's head back and then opened his mouth, engulfing the groung in darkness. Kaion easily took flight, dodging the blast. The creature was determined though. Its gaze followed Kaion, and so did the ray of darkness. Kaion flew around the creature's head, aggravating it. Kaion landed on it's back, right next to the demon. The demon fell over and scurried back. Kaion walked forwards hatefully. The demon cringed. [B]"It's not possible. You shouldn't have accessed your powers so quickly. How did you do it?"[/B] Kaion stopped smiling and sneered, raising his blade above his head. [B]"There is no point in sharing a secret if life with a dead creature."[/B] He brought his blade down quickly, right into it's chest. The demon cried in pain, blood spraying everywhere. The creature underneath Kaion moaned in pain, and dissapeared. Kaion removed his blade from the demons chest, contracting his wings. The demon was still alive, but barely. Kaion looked far off into the horizon and saw a city. He spat on the demon and walked. But he only made it a few stepd before the demon said his final words. [B]"You...*cough* can't get us all...ugh...You'll never kill us all...es..especially not...*cough.. not now! *cough* He'll get you...yes, [I]he[/I] will..."[/B] Kaion looked back and raised his hand, palm facing the demon. He channeled flames into his hand and created a fireball. He pat at the demon again. [B]"Rest in peace."[/B] He shot the fireball at its body, and left it there to burn. And then he headed for the city.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Koro drove his blade through the neck of the man in front of him. He removed the katana and struck the man behind him. Koro spun around, taking out three more warriors, then held his blade in fighting stance. A warrior snuck up behind him and pounced, but Sakura lodged a shuriken in his throut. Koro nodded appreciatively and adressed her. [B]"This is a damned trap. What do we do? If we keep fighting like this, we wil lose many in our ranks...But to retreat, if possible, is dishonorable..."[/B] Sakura drew a blade. [B]"Then we fight!"[/B] She lunged into the battle ahead, impaling her blade into the back of the enemy soldier in front of her. Koro grinned and gripped his blade, looking for any soldiers who may need help. He spotted one not to far off. Rizaj. He was a powerful samurai, but outnumbered 1:7. Koro motioned to Sakura and then motioned to Rizaj. She nodded and they ran in to help. Rizaj slashed a soldier in the face, and he fell. Another warrior cut at Rizaj's leg, causing him to collapse on one knee. Rizaj cried in pain, swinging his blade at the man who had attacked. The soldier jumped backwards and gasped. He had jumped straight into Koro's blade. Koro drove the blade in deeper and whispered into the soldiers ear. [B]"Mess with my men, will you baka? Then you face me!"[/B] He pulled the blade out and assumed battle stance. Sakura had just killed one of them, so it was now 2:5. Not good odds. For them. Koro touched his blade, and it took on a crimson glow. Crimson flames emitted from it, and he smiled sadistically. [B]"Die!" [/B] He swung his blade with all his might, sending a wave of flame over them all. One died, and the others were severely burned. They stood up none-the-less and struck. Sakura took two of them, Koro the other two. Sakura jumped backwards, throwing shurikens at the one closest to her. He recieved one in the eye, the throat, and one in the heart. He fell into the soldier behind, but he merely threw the corpse off his himself. He lunged at Sakura with his katana, but she masterfully dodged him, then drove her blade through his heart. Koro shoved his blazing katana into the first enemy, lighting him ablaze and turning his body into ashes. The flames dissapitated after that. Don't need to expend any more energy...That would be wasteful. The soldier remaining lunged at him, but Koro blocked and parried. The soldier blocked as well, and knocked Koro back. He swung his blade at Koro's throat. Koro ducked and impaled the man in his stomach. Blood spurted from the man's mouth, all over Koro. Koro merely shook him and the blodd off. He walked casually ove to Sakura and sighed. [B]"I suppose now would be a good time to call in your ninja comrades and the other samurai battalion, huh?"[/B] She nodded and ran off, going to fetch them.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][SIZE=1]Karl sunk into his chair. [I]Mephistopheles...It can't be...[/I] He shook off the thought. [i] No matter...Wolfgang will know what to do...[/i] He raised himself up, walking from his chambers deep in thought. Kristan stood outside of the door to the basement, worry in her eyes. Karl hugged her and assured her that she was fine. Kristan smiled, but slapped her forehead angrily. [B]"In my worry, I completely forgot to make dinner, I'm so sorry!"[/B] Karl laughed, bemused. [B]"It's quite alright. I was thinking of going out for dinner. Wolfgang has told me some disturbing information, and so I was thinking of meeting at the resteraunt that he's going to."[/B] Kristan nodded, rubbing his arm. [B]"Okay. I understand. Seeing as it'll probably be all buisness you discuss, and depressing buisness at that, I'll stay home and make myself dinner."[/B] Karl gave her a worried look. [B]"Are you sure that is fine with you? Because I'm sure Wolfgang won't mind it at all if you come along, I mean---"[/B] She put her fingers to his mouth. She kissed him passionately and then stared him in the eyes. [B]"Go. I'll be fine. No demon will be able to get at me, if that's what you're worried about. You've got your sorcerous objects all over the house, and I've been practicing with them."[/B] Karl smiled and kissed her again. He walked to the door and grabbed his trench coat, throwing it around himself and grabbed his thin shades and turned back to Kristan. [B]"I've got my cell phone if you need to call me. I hope not to be long."[/B] He exited, walking towards his car. He pulled out his keys and unlocked it, getting in and driving off. He tried hard to focus on the street in front of him, but he was to preoccupied with other thoughts. The light in front of him turned red, and he sat in his car thinking. [i] Mephistopheles? Mephistopheles? Hah, hah, hah. I've never dealt with him myself...And Wolfgang even seems a tad frightened of him...How will we fair against this creature?[/i] He was pulled out of thought by incessant honking behind him. He had accidentaly sat through three lights, and was holding up traffic. He looked back at the angry faces. [B]"Verzeihung!"[/B] He drove quickly, greatly embarresed. He drove onwards for ten minutes longer and arrived at the resteraunt. He parked out front, and sat in his car. His glove and rings were on, his handguns were at his sides, and the Buch von Dämon Zauberei was in his pocket. Should anything happen...he was ready. he saw the Faustus' car pull up, and Allysa and Wolfgang stepped out. Karl got out from his car and locked it behind him. He walked over to the Faustus' and smiled. He bowed politely to Allysa and grasped Wolfgang's hand, shaking it. [B]"Guten Abend. A pleasure to see you both tonight."[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [B][SIZE=1]OOC: Sorry it took me a while, I couldn't get on untill now. Hope it's alright.[/SIZE][/B]

[COLOR=DimGray][SIZE=1]Kaion walked onwards, confused beyond belief. This world was odd, though he knew that he was in a desert. Nothing made sense to him, and he began to fear that he would walk around without an idea of where he was going and would die. he quickly shook the idea from his mind and continued forth. He continued walking for quite a while, when a city came into view. He smiled an quickened his pace, only to be knocked over. He spun around quickly and jumped to his feet. Before him stood someone he had never seen before. But he new what it was. It's [I][B]stench[/B][/I] gave it away. He was demon. Kaion growled. [B]"What the hell do you want?" [/B] The demon smiled and licked his teeth, then was engulfed in a bright light. Kaion sighed. [I]Not again...[/I] When the light cleared, however, he was still in the same place. But the demon was standing on a creature's shoulder. A very large fire creature. The Demon laughed mockingly. [B]"Welcome to the world of Sparta! New land under the rule of Demons! Of course...You won't enjoy our rule. I've been sent to kill you. And it should be relatively easy."[/B] Kaion laughed loudly, a laugh filled with cockiness. He summoned his blade absentmindedly. [i]The Sinner's Blade...[/i] [B]"Prepare to feel my might, demon. My blade and power will cut you down!"[/B] Kaion began summoning his power. Suddenly, his body racked with pain, and he collapsed. [i]What the...?[/i] The demon laughed. [B]"You haven't yet trained your body to use that inner ability. Your as good as dead!"[/B] The creature he was perched upon brought up his gigantic fist and attempted to squash Kaion. His wings emerged and he barely dodged the strike. The demon muttered under his breath. [B]"No more than a hour in this world, and he can summon his wings? Ah well. 'Tis all he can do."[/B] The demon raised his voice. [B]"Like the strength of the creature? He does my bidding. I have the ability to summon in this world. You probably would have had some ability as well. But, alas, you shalt never know. For your life ends now!!"[/B] The creature tilted his head back, and unleashed a burst of flames. Kaion swung his blade in a circle quickly, deflecting the flames. He did so for a minute, then fell onto one knee. The demon laughed again. [B]"Losing strength, eh? Why not just surrender? It would be so much easier on you..."[/B] Kaion wasn't listening, though. He was attempting o unleash his new abilities. He could feel them, but couldn't bring them out. A plume of flame struck his face, and it suddenly became clear to him. He stopped spinning is blade and was engulfed by flames. The demon's mocking laugh came through again. [B]"So easy! I've slaughtered the almighty leader of the sinner! What a jok---?"[/B] The flames cleared and there stood Kaion, a fireball in his hand. He threw it at the demon, smiling. A fierce red aura appeared around Kaion. He flashed his teeth. [B]"Ready to back the bullshit you keep talking? Well if you're not, to bad!"[/B] A lightning bolt cam down from the sky and struck the creature. It disappeared, and the demon fell onto the ground.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [SIZE=1][B]OOC: I forgot to mention, after finishing your fight with demon, travel in the opposite direction of where you are ( ie: South go North, West go East, etc.) As you keep traveling you'll reach the city of Kirae. This is where all the characters will meet.[/B][/SIZE]

[COLOR=DimGray][SIZE=1]Koro looked back down at his book as he walked with Sakura. He looked up at her, surveying her. She seemed a little uneasy, but that's just how she was. He snapped his book shut and shoved it into a pouch. He pushed lightly upwards in his tinted glasses* and turned to her. [B]"Beautiful night, don't you think?"[/B] She looked up at the sky, dreamily. [B]"Yes...I guess it is, Koro-san."[/B] Koro walked in front of Sakura and frowned. She eyed him curiously. [B]"Is everything alright, Koro-san?"[/B] His frown grew deeper. [B]"We've known each other for a great period of time. For the others in the army I'm either Korogata-sama or Korogata-san. But I'd rather if you called me Koro. Just plain Koro. You don't need honorifics when adressing me...And if you don't feel comfortable with that, at least refer to me as Koro-kun. Alright?"[/B] She hesitated and then nodded. [B]"Yes...Koro-kun."[/B] He smiled at her gently and allowed her to pass him. She started walking then turned back to him. [B]"Koro-kun."[/B] He looked to her and smiled. [B]"Yosh?"[/B] She took a moment to think about her question then spoke. [B]"You use magic, right? Could you show me?"[/B] His smile fell slightly and then rose again. He walked over to a sakura tree and drew his blade. He pointed at his blade without turning around, and struck the tree. He put a deep gash in it. He removed his blade and walked to the tree beside it. He put his hand over it, and a red aura surronded him and the blade. Sakura watched in amazement. A plume of flame erupted around the blade and encircled it. He held the blade with both hand and stared at the tree before him. He assumed posistion and swung his blade. The flame dispersed, and he sheathed his blade. He walked back towards Sakura ad stood at her side. He leaned close to her, and whispered into her ear. [B]"It's called sorcery."[/B] The tree split in half, burst into flames, and both bottom and top halves were engulfed in flames, leaving no remnants of the tree. Sakura walked over and felt the ground. Burnt to a crisp. Se giggled slightly. [B]"Pretty powerfu--" "Heads up!"[/B] Sakura spun quickly, catching the scrolls that Koro threw to her. She looked them over and inquired. [B]"What is this for?"[/B] Sakura said, confused. Koro chuckled and smiled. [B]"Just in case. We're allies right? Whatever can get you an advantage in battle is definitely an essetial asset, correct? Here's a gift from me to you."[/B] She smiled in gratitude and Koro smiled at the night sky. [B]"I have not yet eaten supper."[/B] Koro lowered his gaze to her. [B]"Would you care to join me in my chambers for a meal, Sakura?"[/B] She was taken aback by the abscence of honoifics when he refered to her. He noticed that quickly. [B]"You don't mind the way I adress you? Do you, hmm?"[/B] She shook her head, and they walked back together to Koro's chambers. Koro gripped the hilt of his blade sadly. War would soon be upon them, and him and Sakura would no longer have the leisure of talking. Or the luxury of food.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [SIZE=1][B]Sakura: Is this all okay with you? If you'd rather honorifics, please inform me.[/B][/SIZE]

[COLOR=DimGray][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Dr. Karl Heidelburg [B]Age:[/B] 26 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Nationality:[/B] German [B]Appearance:[/B] Standing at 6?3?, the doctor?s height is something he holds pride in. He weighs at 145, and has lean, muscular arms that attribute to a great portion of his weight. His arms have been toned through years of extensive weight-training and brawls, as Heidelburg was prone to getting in to trouble. His hair is a light brown, which matches his tanned skin perfectly, and he spikes it every day. He enjoys the look it gives him, and finds it to be most interesting. His eyes are hazel toned, though he often wears a pair of thin, round sunglasses over them. His eyes are constantly in motion, absorbing the world around him. Often does Heidelburg wear suits, for he loves the look of elegance he attains while wearing one. Consisting of a white, untucked shirt, a matching black jacket and pants, and a red tie, he?s almost never seen in public not informally dressed. A pendant dangles around his neck, an heirloom of his family?s lineage. On his right ear he has three piercings, and on his right hand five archaic rings, though those are more then just jewelry. On his left hand he wears a glove with a gothic dross on it, the trademark of those who work close with Dr. Faustus. [U][B]Weapons: [/B] [/U] [B]Buch von Dämon Zauberei:[/B] The ?Book of Demon Sorcery?. Given to Heidelburg by Dr. Faustus, it?s one of the many books of dark magic written by him. Many powerful spells dwell in there, and Heidelburg has practiced them many times over and can perform them with great proficiency, but not nearly as well as Faustus. [B]Tiefes von Zauberei:[/B] The ?Rings of Sorcery?. Rings imbued with some of the elemental powers of the great Faustus. As Fasutus? abilities grow, the power of the rings grow as well. Etched into the rings are the archaic symbols of the elements. [B]Geschütze von Licht:[/B] ?Guns of Light?. Two normal handguns, but Heidelburg coats the bullets with holy water. [B]Skills:[/B] Besides using sorcery to his advantage, he is quite a skilled fighter. His blows are crushing, quick, and precise. He has great endurance and durability, and is extremely agile and versatile. He?s also got great aim with guns of all types, and never misses his mark. [B]Personality:[/B] Though an aged adult, his eccentric, vibrant attitude gives others the misconception that he is merely a young adult. He?s very passionate about his studies and shows it easily. Dr. Faustus and Heidelburg are very good friends, and meet often for lunch, to discuss work and life in general. Heidelburg is currently dating a nice woman, same age as him, and they live happily together with her German Sheperd, Spike. He harbors a deep sense of justice and cannot stand to watch others be wronged. It hurts Heidelburg when he hears Faustus crying the nights they work late, and often finds himself crying as well. This compassion he holds for Faustus is nothing compared to the loyalty he has for the good doctor. He?ll follow him to the end of the Earth, and beyond. Heidelburg will be right at his side, aiding Faustus in his quest to prevent the Apocalypse. [B]Character Snippit:[/B] Heidelburg sighed, irritated slightly, but anxious moreso. He raised up his right hand, the ring of fire blazing. He opened the [I]Buch von Dämon Zauberei[/I] and read it over quickly. [I]Fire,fire, blaze with thy might. And if I am worthy, let your might take flight.[/I] He smiled and recited the words aloud. [B]"Feuer, feuer, flamme mit dein allmacht. Und unter Ich bin würdig, lassen dein allmacht nehmen flucht."[/B] A plume of flame erupted from the ring, twirled around his hand, and hovered in th air. He moved his hands apart, and the flame increased. He laughed cheerily as his long-time gilfriend, Kristan, came walking down the stairs to the basement. She found him dancing around happily, a cloud of flame hovering above his head. She giggled. [B]"Made a breakthrough, Honey?" [/B] Heidelburg drove the fire around the room, lighting the many candles conveniently placed there. The flame dispersed afterwards, and Heidelburg ran over to his wife, embraced her, and kissed her deeply. As he kissed her, a sharp pain spread through his side, and he collapsed. Kristan bent over to assist him, frightened. The phone rang suddenly, giving Heidelburg a start. The only people who call him on the basement's phone were Faustus and the other assistants, and only when it was a matter of urgency. Heidelburg assured Kristan he was okay, and she kissed his cheek and walked off to go make dinner. Heidelburg picked up the phone. [B]"Hallo?"[/B] [B]"Karl? It's Wolfgang."[/B] There was an air of hurridness and anger in his voice. [B]"Gutentag...You're probably going to explain the surge of pain that jsut occured to me, eh?"[/B] A slight laugh over the phone. [B]"Obvious, is it? Well...Mephistopheles has appeared, and you know what that means..."[/B] Heidelburg stifled a gasp, and stammered into the phone. [B]"M..Me...Mephistopheles! By jove...that means..."[/B] An arid laugh was heard through the phone. [B]"Yes, Karl. The Apocalypse is upon us..."[/B] [/color][/size] [size=1][B]EDIT: Finished! Well, how's it look?[/B][/size]

[COLOR=Dimgray][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Zanzaro Korogata ?Koro? [B]Age:[/B] 22 [B]Sex:[/B] Male [B]Affiliation:[/B] Uesugi Kenshin [B]Class:[/B] Samurai/ Sorcerer [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://www.mangalords.com/imagenes/capitulario/getbackers/%5bGF%5d%20getbackers%2011%20f.jpg]Zanzaro Korogata (dark-haired) [/URL] [B]Weapon:[/B] Katana no Zetsumei (right hand) Wakizashi (left hand) Naginata (carries on his back) and Magic scrolls. [B]Fighting Style:[/B] Koro?s fighting style is one that is unique to him, as it isn?t really one at all. He?s an extremely skilled swordsman, so not many of his enemies live through the onslaught of his blade. His wakizashi is used for quick attacks and defending, while the Naginata usually stays perched on his shoulder. But when forced to use it, he?s a walking holocaust. He often improves the strength of his weapons or attributes an element to them by using the scrolls passed down by the members of his family. [B]Personality:[/B] Koro is laid-back and lazy in appearance, but that outer appearance bellies a genius strategic mind and passionate fighter. Every action ever taken in his life has been by the code of Bushido, though he holds the principal of Chi in high regard. Never far without a book in hand, he?s gained many militaristic strategies and sorcererous talents through his studies. [B]Biography:[/B] Koro derives from a great line of Samurai's who have served Uesugi for many years faithfully. His father trained him in the ways of Bushido from the time Koro could hold a blade. His childhoos was filled with happy memories, up untill the age of 16. The land he lived in was constantly involved with wars, and the villagers often barely survived with their lives. In this battle both his father and mother fought valiantly, but lost their lives. Koro was alone after that, forced to provide for himself. [B]Final Thought:[/B] Lazy Grand Warrior [B]Last Question:[/B] Is being a sorcerer alright? I wanted to make mine over the top, and thought that the way to go.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [SIZE=1]I'll finish the bio later, just wanted to get it started.[/SIZE]

[size=1][color=royalblue]Robert stared at the door of Steph's room for a moment, the shrugged. [i]Oh well...we can talk later.[/i] He looked around and looked at the door, the looked around again. He sighed. [b]"Whadda' I do now?"[/b] He slouched onto the floor as the elevator door opened. A young lady walked out, and dropped the duffel bag she was carrying. Robert jumped up and helped her, and she thanked him. They started talking. [b]"My name's Sarah, thanks for helping me out."[/b] Robert processed the name quickly. [i] Sara...![/i] He grinned widely at the woman who he realized not but a moment ago was a good friend if his. [b]" Sarah, eh? You wouldn't happen to be...Ozymandius Jones on the Otakuboards?"[/b] Her face lit up at that. Robert grinned happily. It was her. He gave her a large hug and laughed. [b]"It's me! Crusader! Or as I'm known in the real world, Robert Kingsley at your service."[/b][/size][/color]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy][b][I]Sinner- One that sins or does wrong; a transgressor?[/b][/I] The Demon Emperor held his blade above his head, crying in triumph. The Angel King lay underneath his foot, defeated. The Demon lowered his face before the Angel and smiled mockingly, flashing his teeth. He spit onto his face and laughed, then addressed his merciless army. They had been a walking holocaust. They left no angel alive, and they now ruled. His minions had earned him victory. [B]?Today is our day, my fellow beings. For years we have lived in their shadows, being oppressed, confined in their barriers. But no longer! They allowed us no leisure, kept us concealed for fear of our power. But no longer! They had all right to fear us, for we are much stronger then them, and we?ve now taken our revenge! With the slaughtering of the Angel King Joriel, the entire angel race will be vanquished.?[/B] A cry of mingled rage and cheer came from the demon masses. The demons called out his name, and he drank it in, feeding his pride. Luzien! Luzien! Luzien! He raised his arms and silence fell over them. He opened his mouth and roared in pride, then addressed the slaughterers again. [B]?But we cannot forget the ones we owe our victory to. Let us not forget the Apostles!? [/B] A loud cry of gratitude erupted from the crowd, [B]? For without their powers, we would still be caged like animals, watching as they enjoyed the finer life. Bring the Apostles forth, for our victory we owe to them---? ?Never!? [/B] Luzien tilted his head to the side and found the Apostles standing there. The delight in his eyes was soon replaced with shock and horror. The leader of the Apostles, Kaion, was holding a dead demon in his arms. The demon was Luzien?s son. The demon took a step forward off of the King of Angels to grab his son, when Kaion threw the corpse to the side. Kaion snarled and yelled at the demon king. [B]?Do not attribute your victory to us! We did not help you free will! We were forced to use our powers to help your ?cause?! This was murder!?[/B] Luzien smirked, then laughed. [B]?You are one to call me a murderer, Apostle. Were you not the one who killed my--?[/B] Kaion drove his blade into Luzien?s stomach, twisting it in. Luzien gasped in pain. [B]?I killed for a cause. And I am no Apostle?I?m a Sin--?[/B] A powerful force knocked both Kaion and Luzien back. Kaion looked over and saw that the Angel King was standing, and there were other angels around him. He smiled weakly. [B]?You?re what? A Sinner? You?re a race of sinners. And sinners must be banished!?[/B] The angels performed seals, and they were engulfed in a white light. [B][I]5 Years Later?.[/I][/B] Luzien sat on his throne, sipping wine. A messenger ran through the doors, frantically. [B]?My liege! My liege! The Sinners, they are--? ?Yes, I know.?[/B] The messenger stopped cold. Luzien raised his face and smiled, his satanic eyes dancing with flames. [B]?They are finally here. We have waited five long years for their arrival. Let us greet our comrades?"[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]The Great Demon-Angel War. A war between the forces of light and dark. Demons, a race of monsters that slaughtered mindlessly, were long ago sealed by the Angels. The Angels kept them at bay for many years after a fierce battle where the Demon Emperor?s wife was killed. Pushed off onto an island, the Angels set a holy barrier that would seal the Demons due to the darkness in their souls. It worked for years, until they came about. The Apostles. They were Demons that brimmed with holy energy. They were trained all of their life to disperse the barrier. They finally grew powerful enough and broke the barrier, allowing the Demons to extract their hatred. At the last moment the Angel King initiated a powerful spell, hoping to jettison the Demons to the far reaches of space. He did not succeed however. He sent them to the world of Sparta, a world of Mages and Knight, Technology and Dragons. The Demons lost their former forms and lost some abilities, but gained new ones as well. The Angels, too, were sent, with new abilities and forms. But the Sinners were no where to be found. However, that?s changed?[/size][/color] [SIZE=1][CENTER]+++++[/CENTER] [COLOR=DimGray]Kaion was edged forward. He scowled backwards, scowled at the faces of his demon brethren that were forcing him to do this. He turned to his fellow "Apostles", looking from Chrial, to Azuroth, to Zelle, to Mayvelle. Tears stained her eyes, and his too, though he didn't realize it. The Demon Emperor walked towards Kaion, edging him forward. Kaion had no choice but to oblige. Kaion walked forwards, approaching the barrier. He nodded to the other Apostles, and they rose their arms up. Kaion opened his mouth, and began singing. The others joined him, and a beautiful song sprang forth. A white aura surronded the Apostles, and drifted into the barrier. It cracked, and all went silent. The crack spread, covered the barrier. One last tear fell from Kaion's eyes as he brought the barrier toppling with one last note. It was massacre. The demons tore the angels limb from limb. Kaion stood back and watched, until finally he couldn't control himself. He attacked his own race, and put them to shame. They Apostles encountered an angel he joined in their battle, Sion. The fought gallantly, even killing the Demon Emperor's son himself. As Kaion held the Demon Prince's head in his hand, he turned to face his comrades. [B]"From this moment forth, we are not demons. We are not 'Apostles' either! We are Sinners! After what we have done, we will never be accepted again. So, let us fight valiantly, to the end!"[/B] Everything happened so quickly. The Emperor King's speech. Their rebellion. The spell that the Angels initiated. And the white light. The light that seemed to engulf all, not merely because it was infinite, but because it seemed to be all. Kaion closed his eyes, and fell into it's wamth. 5 years later.... [B]".....Ugh?"[/B] Kaion rose up, clutching his head. He was in a desert. He looked around, and it seemed to strecth on endlessly. He sniffed the air. It smelt different fom that of his planet. It was then that he noticed his body. It resembled a mortals. He gazed over himself. Spikey hair. Long, muscular arms and legs. He felt his head and smiled. His horns were still there. He was fully dressed, obvioulsy in native clothes, and he had a pair of shades on his heads. He took another once over of the place and scratched his head. Though he no longer spook the same tounge, this one was not so foreign to him. [B]"Where the fuck am I?"[/B][/COLOR] And thus begins the Tale of Sinners! Those who are a part of this are: [COLOR=DarkRed][B]Aura_Star- Zelle silverwolf_fang-Azuroth Me And You- Mayvelle MajinVegeta- Feuer Fallen- Sion mononoke_man- Kalon PrinceOfPersia-Azarath Ouroboros- Chrial[/B][/COLOR] Everbody's first post should be basically the same.

[size=1][color=royalblue]Robert looked down at his watch and muttered curses loudly. It was 8:25. He had finally arrived, and was looking for a hotel. He had given Kelly a call, and she said they were meeting at 9:00. He drove frantically looking for a place to stay, and finally found one. He parked and jumped out, grabbing his stuff and bolting in. The clerk gave him a bewildered look and asked if he'd need a room. Robert gave him a dirty look, and uttered yes, as sarcastically as he could. While the clerk arranged for a room, Robert quickly looked back towards his truck. He heard a noise from upstairs, distracting his attention, which was followed by several more and giggling. Robert turned to the clerk and smiled, trying as hard as he could to be nice. [b]"A lotta' people check in tonight?"[/b] The clerk nodded absentmindely and responded. [b]"Yup. They were all talking about some message boards. Otakuboards, or something along those lines."[/b] Robert's face lit up, and he was about to ask what the names of some of them were when he was interrupted by a thump and a growling curse. [i]Interesting...[/i] The clerk held out the key to Robert's room. [b]"Here you go, Sir. Enjoy your stay."[/b] Robert nodded and ran into the elevator, then quickly stuck his foot out to stop the doors from closing. He yelled quickly over to the clerk. [b]"Did a lady by the name of Stephanie come by tonight?"[/b] The clerk nodded. [b]"What room is she in? I'm a friend of hers."[/b] The clerk told him and Robert nodded, allowing the elevator door to shut. Robert rushed into his room, took a quick shower and put on his finest suit, the waltzed over to Steph's room. He knocked on the door and yelled in. [b]" 'Ey Skye! Open up! It's Crusader!"[/b][/color][/size]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1]I'd be crazy not to use your set.The avatar and banner is equisite. You did quite a marvelous job on them; I love the feel this set has, and the font is spot on what I was looking for. A million thanks, Delta.[/SIZE] ♥[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]OOC: Terribly, terribly sorry for not posting sonner, Steph. Computer problems, family problems, I haven't had much time. ^__^; [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Robert finished packing all of his stuff int the trunck of his Durango, and slammed it shut. This was going to be the greatest. He had always dreamed of meeting some of his fello OBers, and this was his chance. He grinned happily and looked up at the bright Californian sun. A voice called out to him from behind. [b]"Hey, Bobby!"[/b] Robert turned and was knocked over by his dog, Magnet. His friend Anthony was walking over, his arm around his girlfriend, Stephanie. Anthony jutted his hand out mockingly, but Robert just jumped up and dusted himself off. He punched his friend and smiled. Robert bent dow to pet his dog, and Anthony adressed him. [b]"So you're going, eh man?"[/b] [b]"Yup. Should be ton's of fun."[/b] [b]"It'd better be, I've gotta watch the place and your mut while your away."[/b] [b]"Meh. You know you like Magnet."[/b] Anthony grinned and reached into his pocket, he pulled out Robert's cell phone. [b]"You might need this."[/b] Robert growled, attempting to seem angry. He snatched his cell away and pushed his friend back. [b]"I'd better go now. It'll take my a couple days to drive their. Two or three, depending on wether I'm willing to break the speed limit by a tad bit..."[/b] [b]"Knowing you, that means you'll be going as fast as your crap truck'll take you."[/b] Anthony and Robert stood there smiling, and then hugged. Robert turned to Stephanie and hugged her also. She giggled and pulled away. [b]"You'd better not drive like a dumbass. I'm not going to your funeral if I found out you were turned into roadkill."[/b] Robert grinned and spun the keys to the truck on his finger. He pet his dog again and got into his truck. He turned it on and stuck his head out of the window. He stuck his tounge out and pulled down eye. [b]"Laterz!"[/b] He drove off, waving back. He thought quickly ofwhere they'd all be at, and remembering the name he decided which way would be the best. He slipped in his Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge CD, and Helena blared through his speakers. He sang along as he thought of how everybody would be doing. [I]Long ago Just like the hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take (worst you take) from every heart you break (heart you break) And like the blade you stain (blade you stain) Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say?

[b]Character Exerpt:[/b] [Will Edit Later][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I've added more to the sign-ups, as I felt it would be easier for others to get a good feel for your character, and so that they characters could have more depth. I've also added the option to play as an Angel. Also, If more than one person signs up for the same position, the I'll give it the better writer. Everybody's sign ups are great so far, you just need to add in the extra information. ^__^; Sorry to make you write more.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
