Oh §h!7, everyone's levels are so high! I hope no one hates me, or it'll be REAL easy to PK me...and my player's trapped!

Dude, the first thing you do is save up for 30 ressurects for each team member of yours, and when the fight starts, set them to first aid. Don't waste scrolls on him, he's a data bug. Just wildly bash his face in, and call for additional help if you get killed. Also, it might help to level up like a lot; level 29 or so should do the trick. Bring BlackRose (Duh), and Someone you regularly use. Tell me if it doesn't work. Data Drain him ASAP.

Curaga's a friggin' Final Fantasy Healing move! So is Barrier! The 'shining light' ability is also if-y... How many people do you intend to have in this adventure, DDG? Just a though...

Appearance: Short little wings in back, pale green eyes, Pink hair that reaches about down to waist, short skirt (blue), short sleeved shirt (white). Personality: Never ever fights when she can avoid it, Gets beat up a lot for asking really high level players if they can help her find her friend's killer, scared easily, shy, cries a lot. Cause: Trying to find the monster, [spoiler]Magus[/spoiler], who placed her friend in a coma, and kill it. IRL Name: Kia Tohama Age: 13 at time of death Occupation: None. Height/Weight: 5'2, 98 lbs. Apperance: Pretty much the same as in "The World", but with brown hair, and normal clothes. (i.e. Blue jeans, T-shirt) Deceased. Personality: In life, she was a very shy little girl. She didn't take orders very well, and she was very passive. She got bullied around a lot at school, before she dropped out. Bio: Kia Tohama, age thirteen, was constantly abused at home, and one day, she decided to run away from home. At age 9, she packed up her laptop, a few extra clothes, and a ham sandwich in a knapsack, and crawled out from her "room" in the basement, leaving her only refuge, never to return... Four years later, in the dead of Winter, she was found frozen to death near a fountain in a park, along with her laptop, "the World" running on the screen. It is presumed that she died while playing "the World" because being in the game, she haden't noticed the drop in temperature.

[size=1][I]OOC-Just on a side note, Kia?s only dead in the real world. She?s still around in ?the World?. Just in case people are confused? IC-Kia was tired of being mocked by passers by for her almost constant crying, so she walked up to the chaos gate, and said,[/I]?Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.?[I]It was the only place she could think of that didn?t have any monsters anymore, and she didn?t feel like fighting right now. She walked up to one of the seats in the ornate cathedral, and stared at the massive statue in the center of the room. She sighed, trying to collect her thoughts.[/I]?Why am I trapped here??[I]she wondered.[/I]?Maybe?maybe the system?s bugged or something, and it?s keeping me from getting out.?[I]She had heard about the trapped players from a few years back, namingly a player named Tsukasa, who had become infamous for causing havoc in ?the World? once their player had become trapped, but Kia had never seriously believed that sort of thing still happened. Focusing herself again, she concentrated instead on the mystery surrounding the beautiful statue standing before her, and it?s possible connection to the mystery surrounding her friend, Kiara. She began to examine the statue, trying her best to ignore the fact that she could actually feel the marble stone as she ran her hands across the inscription at it?s base. She had just finished reading the mysterious poem carved into the marble slab when a man shouted at her from the doorway. His sudden presence in the room almost made Kia faint.[/I] ?What do you think you?re doing here?!?[I]the man shouted at her. His character was very strange to her; he looked almost like an angel in her eyes. He had huge wings on his back, and projecting from his arms.[/I] ?I said, what are you doing here?!?[I]he repeated, suddenly walking towards her, with all the authority of a system administrator in his step. Extremely surprised that she had been found here, all Kia could do was babble incomprehensively.[/I]?Who, me? I, um, er?well, I, wa-was?er, um?thinking? About?um, some-something?? ?Get out of here now! It?s too dangerous here!?[I]the man shouted back, sprinting towards Kia. Suddenly, the system bugged out seriously, and a gigantic monster appeared in mid-air, dropping down in between the man and Kia. With a huge leap, the angelic figure jumped into the air, hovered for a moment, and unsheathed his sword. Then, as he came flying down, he bought his sword down with a massive swing upon the monster?s chest, as it had no head. The creature crumpled under his mighty power, but as it began to disappear, it got back up, renewed strength entering its body, and with an omnipresent roar echoing from nowhere, it turned an eerie glowing green color.[/I] ?This one as well!?[I]the man exclaimed, awe and surprise in his eyes. And now fear as well, it was becoming clear: the man feared this monster. As he began to step away, Kia suddenly saw Kite running into the hallway. He jumped into the air, and his wrist began to glow. Apparently, he wasn?t sure why this was happening, because he was acting rather startled. Suddenly, a huge star-point shaped object formed around Kite?s wrist, and he screamed. The star thing opened up, and bands of data shot towards the monster, ripping the data out from its body. As Kite fell from the air, the angelic man killed the monster again with a massive swipe from his blade. The monster fell in two, dead. The man turned towards Kite, who was saying in surprise,[/I]"Th-that was like the time when?when Orca?" ?I see,?[I]said the man,[/I]?You are the same as the virus. I did not expect to find you so soon?now fight me! Fight or die!?[I]The man unsheathed his sword again.[/I] No! It?s not what you think! I?m not a virus! I won?t fight!?[I]Kite shouted back.[/I] ?We will see??[I]the man replied,[/I]?I just require the time to think this through. But if I find that you are?indeed in with them?I will kill you.?[I]And with that, the man logged out.[/I] [I]Heavily shaken by the fight she?d just seen, all Kia could say to kite was,[/I]?How did you find me?? ?Hacking,?[I]Kite replied, and with that, he gated out as well, leaving Kia once again alone in the chapel. Still wanting more time to think, Kia once again sat down at a seat, as though nothing had even happened.[/I][/size]

[size=1]OOC-I hope everyone's ready for this twist, get ready... IC-[i]Desperately, Kite tried one last hack to get him and Yuki out of Net Slum. His bracelet began to glow, and when it grew to it's full size, he shouted,[/i]"Aqua Capital Mac Anu!"[i]He raised his right hand towards the sky, and the image of Net Slum shattered, not so unlike glass, before his very eyes. Once again, Kite and Yuki appeared some tweny feet up in the air, and Yuki got lucky, because she landed on Kite, injuring her sizably less than hitting the ground would have. As Yuki went into her swearing fit, Kite logged out. Too much had happened already today.[/i] ---------------------------------------------- -----=====the real world=====----- ---------------------------------------------- [i]Kite re-emerged into the world, shaking his head a bit, working the muscles in his neck, stretching out. For a while he just sat at his ALTIMIT terminal, thinking about what he could do.[/i] "Hey, maybe I'll go to the park,"[i]He decided. He had always been able to think better while on a walk. A T.V. in the living room was blairing out a news flash. ---and in other news, a sudden temperature drop occuring in southern Tokyo, so bundle up good if you're going outside--- So, he put on a heavy coat, and walked out into the now frozen park. As he approached the central fountain, with the water frozen in mid-air, he saw a person lying face-first in the snow, a laptop resting upside down nearby.[/i] "Now who the heck would be so stupid?"[i]He wondered, approaching the person. He saw that he was looking at a girl, a young girl around the age of thirteen. She was wearing a light T-Shirt, and blue jeans. She was obviously underdressed for her current location. As he walked closer, he noticed a vague familiarity in her appearance. There was something too recognizable about her hair, her size, her shirt... Her shirt. A massive chill flew down Kite's spine as he remembered her, the girl he had met on the steps of the museum earlier. He ran down to her, and ripped off her VR Helmet, and staring at him now were the cold, lifeless eyes of the very person he had been helping in "the World".[/i] "Oh, my god, Kia,"[i]Kite gasped,[/i]"Holy Shit! 911! Somebody call an ambulance! C'mon, there's a body over here!"[i]Just about everyone within a one mile radius heard him. When the ambulance arrived, a middle-aged man asked him what was wrong, he simply pointed at the girl at his feet, the frozen, limp, lifeless body of his new friend, and fighting back the tears, managed to utter one single word, his voice trembling:[/i] "Kia." [i]And with that, he ran back to his house, dashed up the stairs, and slammed the door to his room. He shoved his head into a pillow, shouting.[/i] "Kia! Kia! Kia! KIA! KIA! NOOO!" [i]He refused to come out again for thirteen hours. When he came into his senses again, he vowed to himself that he would never tell Kia the truth about what had happened to her. It would crush her poor soul...[/i] OOC-Well, ladies and gents, the cat's outta the bag. How's that for a new turn? This is not the end...it has only begun...[/size]

Barely made it! Registrations are now closed. Thanks for joining!

I got it from the wallpaper section of a website called [url]www.starcraftsector.com[/url]. I think it's cool because of all the detail in it...maybe it's just me...

Okay...this is an insanely random image, and I can't even take much credit for it, but I think it looks cool. Anybody protest? [IMG]http://www.starcraftsector.com/wpthumbs/verion/Birth_of_A_Robot.jpg[/IMG] BTW, this is meant to be a wallpaper...You might have to re-size it.

[size=1]OOC-Slightly confused, but here goes... IC-[i]Kia watched the unique character silently, slightly interested in her situation. She too was a trapped player, but there was no hope for her now...for her the end had already come and gone, and she was eternally trapped in "the World". Her body in the real world had died a while earlier, and therefore she was granted eternal life in "the World", provided she stayed out of trouble. Suddenly, she decided to talk to this unusual character.[/i] "Hello, what seems to be the matter?"[i]Kia asked politely.[/i] "Hey, aren't you that little girl people call crazy? Just sitting out on the pier, gazing out into the sunset?"[i]was Hacker's reply.[/i] "Oh...well, er...yeah, I guess..."[i]Kia mumbled. She hadn't realized that she had such a reputation.[/i] "My name's Hacker,"[i]the character suddenly said.[/i] "Oh, hello, Hacker." "You had a question?" Oh, yes. What's wrong with you?" "I...can't log out."[i]Hacker replied.[/i] "What?!"[i]This reply struck Kia like a hammer; this was the very situation she had long been in, and long learned to accept.[/i] "Now something's wrong with you,"[i]Hacker said, startled by Kia's reaction.[/i] "Oh, well...I...never mind, it's...it's nothing..."[i]But Kia could tell that she was going to have to look more into Hacker's situation.[/i] "Hey, wanna go to a dungeon with me?"[i]Kia asked. She was hoping that she could tell Hacker about her situation.[/i] "Um, no thanks."[i]Hacker replied,[/i]"If I know my friend, she should be here any minute..."[i]Hacker paused.[/i] "...I hope..."[i]She added after a few seconds.[/i][/size]

[size=1]OOC-Yay I'm back! Thanks for keeping everything in order! IC-[i]Avoiding magic portals completely, Kia searched the snow-ridden twilight for Kayla. For several hours, she trounced around in the white blizzard, barely even able to see her hands in front of her. Suddenly, she ran into something big, head on. As she looked up, she recognized the red eyeball of the Tetra Armor, a huge purple hulk with iron spike balls for hands. In her terror, she had a vague, horrifying flashback of her first encounter with a Tetra Armor: a sudden kick, followed by a crushing fist, and GAME OVER on the screen. If it noticed her, it paid little mind. Presently, Kia backed away from it, slowly, oh so slowly, and the moment her shoe crushed the snow underfoot, the eye of the massive armor snapped quickly to her, the blood red color sending chills down Kia's spine. Eyes wide in fear, she immediately ran off in the other direction with all the speed and agility one can expect from a Twinblade. The huge suit of armor lumbered after her, but it stood no chance against the sheer speed with which Kia was running. Soon, it bacame apparent to Kia that the Tetra Armor had given up the chase, and she skidded to a stop, toppled over into the snow, and inhaled rapidly to catch her breath. Suddenly, a massive chill rocked Kia's spine. Confused and worried, Kia got up, and once again violently shivered in the wind.[/i] "Wha-what's...happen-ning?"[i]Kia screamed, her teeth chattering in the ever opressing cold,[/i]"I can't be cold...the game blocks out the ability to feel!" [i]Far, far too cold, Kia warped out of the field.[/i]"I'm sorry, Kite...I failed..."[i]she whimpered as she was transported to the beautiful root town, Mac Anu.[/i] ---------------------------------------------------------- -----=====7h3_W0rl|),_N37_§lum=====----- ---------------------------------------------------------- [i]Hearing Kia's voice (through highly-advanced hacking), Kite searched her character data...[/i] [b]User Name:[/b] Kia [b]User Class:[/b] Twinblade [b]User Level:[/b] 1 [b]User Status:[/b] [color=deeppink]PROTECTED[/color] [b]User Character Status:[/b] [color=blue]Locked[/color], [color=crimson]Bleed[/color] [b]User Deaths:[/b] 2 "Huh?!"[i]Kite puzzled , gawking at several bits of data flying before him,[/i]"Locked? Bleed? Protected? What's going on here?!" [i]Back in Mac Anu, Kia took a step down the stairs from the portal. Still shivering, she felt a trickle of warmth run from her mouth, down her neck. She touched her hand to her lips, and, drawing her hand back away, gasped in horror at the liquid red stain washed onto her hand. Indeed she beheld blood then, as she realized that the biting cold had deeply cracked her lips. She ran, screaming, to her little box in the ally...[/i] OOC-Please don't make any assumptions at this point-all the details will become clear in future posts.[/size]

[size=1]OOC-this hacker hideaway of yours is called "Net Slum", but hackers call it "Paradise". (.hack//MUTATION) IC-"Wait, no! This is all wrong!"[i]Kia suddenly cried,[/i]"We were supposed to wait for Kayla!"[i]She raised her hand.[/i]"Aqua Capital Mac Anu!"[i]Nothing happened.[/i]"What the...Aqua Capital Mac Anu! Aqua Capital Mac Anu! Aqua Capital Mac Anu!" "Save your breath, Kia."[i]Yuki said.[/i]"This is a protected area. No one can either get in or out." "No! I have to get back to Kayla! She might be out there right now!" "Yuki,"[i]Kite calmly said,[/i]"I sent e-mails to them that I'd meet them in the ally. Kia has to go back, and tell Kayla where we are." "But this area is protected! No one can get in or out! I just said that!"[i]Yuki protested.[/i] "You're a hacker, Yuki."[i]replied Kite. His arm began to glow, just as before, and as his bracelet began to shine, he passed a challenging look to Yuki, and said but one word.[/i] "Fool." [i]Before him, a gate opened up to Mac Anu.[/i] "Go on, Kia. Tell Kayla we'll be right there." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [i]Kia warped in to the ally. She glanced around briefly, but couldn't find Kayla anywhere.[/i] "Kia, this is Kite. I found Kayla's pin number. It seems she's wandering around in Delta-Expansive-Gluttonous-White Devil. I'm afraid we're still locked in over here, so you'll have to go get her on your own. Understand?" "Okay,"[i]Kia said, wondering if Kite could hear her.[/i] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----=====Delta-Expansive-Gluttonous-White Devil=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Great. This place is a high-level area, and I'm all alone,"[i]Kia muttered to herself. After standing amidst all the snow, she finally set out on her quest to find Kayla.[/i] OOC-Please don't make Kia do anything in future posts for now... I have...special plans for her(^_~).[/size]

[size=1]---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [i]Kia was growing more and more anxious about saving her friend. Obviously, as soon as she got Kite's message, she rushed over to "her" ally. She was somewhat surprized and highly disturbed when she found no one there. She sat down on one of the boxes, and began to cry (again).[/i] "Kiara's gone, at the hands of that monster,"[i]she wept,[/i]"and now I can't even find my own friends...where are they?Where's... Kayla?"[i]To anyone happening to pass by, she must've looked pretty pathetic. A Heavy Axeman spotted her and teased,[/i]"Hey, stop crying like that, or we might get a flood here!"[i]Laughing, the man walked away.[/i] [i]"This world wasn't built for people like...for people like me,"Kia thought. "This place is for people like Kayla, and Yuki, and Kite. Not stupid idiots like poor, whimpering, pathetic, crybaby Kia!"She continued thinking, taunting herself more, until finally, when she was just about ready to commit "the World"s equivilant of suicide, a great commotion at the Chaos Gate caught her attention. Apparently, a heavy Axeman and a Twinblade had just warped in to Mac Anu. Obviously, they'd done something wrong, because they were standing upside down, suspended about twenty feet in the air.[/i] "Ummm...this may sound like a stupid observation,"[i]Kite said,[/i]"but we seem to be upside down,"[i]he finished, glancing over at Yuki.[/i] "*deleted* warp hack...this hasn't ever happened before..."[i]muttered Yuki.[/i] "Uh, we're in the air..."[i]repeated Kite. "Yes, well, it's possible that my warp hack caused a glitch that sent us up here,"[i]explained Yuki.[/i] "We...are...upside...down...floating...in...mid...AIR!"[i]Kite said, his voice quavering. He clearly wasn't understanding the current situation, so the situation decided to sort things out for him. He fell. Yuki fell as well (*deleted* this *deleted* *deleted* *deleted* piece of *deleted* game!), and after a rather lengthy fall, landed directly on top of Kite.[/i] "Well..."[i]pointed out Kite,[/i]"We [i]are[/i] at least on the ground now..." "Yeah, shut the *deleted* up. I actually [i]felt[/i] that!"[i]screamed Yuki, her voice breaking in pain here and there.[/i] "Hey, isn't that Kia over there?...!!! Oh, my meeting!"[i]realized Kite.[/i] "hey, where's Kayla?"[i]Kia asked, still snifling back tears from her sorrow a few moments ago.[/i] "Well, I thought she'd be here with you," replied Kite. "We can't start without Kayla!"[i]protested Kia,[/i]"We'll have to wait for her."[/size]

[size=1][i]Strangely enough, Kite wasn't in the mood for logging out quite yet...after all, he was stil trying to help his friend, Yasuhiko. But, with so little information, he didn't know how he would be able to save him.[/i] "I should get some more virus cores..."[i]he muttered to himself, so no one else would hear him.[/i] [i]As he approached the Chaos Gate, he recieved an e-mail from Yuki, stating that she wanted to meet up with him at delta-alone-change-me.[/i] "That's odd,"[i]he muttered,[/i]"I've never heard of any of those keywords before..." [i]He decided he needed some time to think about recent events. He muttered something to himself, and his right arm began to shine. Though no one else could see it, a bracelet of data formed around his wrist. It added pieces to itsself as it grew bigger. Finally, Kite shouted[/i]"Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field!" [i]And, with a brilliant flash of blue light, he warped to the area he had first played "the World". Of course, this level was pathetic to Kite's power, but he liked to come here to think...it put him at ease.[/i] [i]A few hours later, Kite emerged into Mac Anu, and, directing his bracelet towards the Chaos Gate, muttered[/i]"Lock Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field."[i]Now nobody would be able to get into that area. Then, once again pointing his hand skyward, Kite said[/i]"Alone Change Me!" ---------------------------------------------------------- -----=====Delta-Alone-Change-Me=====----- ---------------------------------------------------------- "Huh?!"[i]Kite gasped as he entered the strange area. There were holes in the ground all over. As Kite looked down into one of them he saw endless strands of binary codes, the very laws that kept "the World" in one piece. Amazed at what he was witnessing, Kite stepped backwards, only to nearly fall into another hole.[/i] "Welcome, Kite,"[i]said Yuki from behind him,[/i]"I was hoping you'd come to see me." "What did you want to talk about, Yuki?" "well, I have a problem I was hoping you might help me with..."[i]replied Yuki.[/i][/size]

The part about her friend doesn't matter anymore, that was in .hack//REASON, so can I keep it, please? Besides, I, uh...don't really have a "backup" reason for playing... :sweat:

[size=1][i]Yuki decided the only way she would be able to get to that feather without anyone noticing would be to hack again. This time, she used the newbie Twinblade as her diversion. She patiently hacked into the games core...altering here, adding there, messing with the very data that held this town together. After all, it was quite a complex hack.[/i] "so, what did you call us here for, Kite?"[i]Kia was just starting to ask, when all of a sudden, the music shifted to battle mode. All was confusion at first, but slowly, oh, so slowly, Kia realised the false truth: this was battle music![/i] [i]Shrieking horribly, Kia tried to take cover behind Kayla, but then completely lost it, and ran, wailing, to the Chaos Gate.[/i] "Kia, wait!"[i]yelled Kayla, but Kia couldn't hear her, so she ran off after her.[/i] [i]Only Kite remained. Briefly, he lingered, knowing this hoax. Then, he said to Yuki:[/i] "Fine, have your fun with the bird. We'll meet again here tomorrow, and I'll tell all of you about the new area." [i]Slightly embarrassed that she had been caught by, seemingly, a fellow hacker, Yuki quickly grabbed the feather, installed it on her character, and logged out.[/i][/size]

[b]9.5-10[/b] Wow. It's pretty amasing how deep this episode was... In any case, I'm really new to the series, but I know enough to think that "Fake Subaru" was a real Jacka--. One thing that kinda brought this episode down is the last scene, though...According to what I've heard, [spoiler]Tsukasa is actually a girl[/spoiler]. If this is the case, why is he/[spoiler]she[/spoiler] hugging Subaru at the end of the episode? That...kinda...gave me...the chills...eeeeewwwwwwwwww.....

[size=1][i]Kite was very intrigued about this young Twinblade and her comatose friend. He had finally found another person experiencing the same problems as he was. He realized that these girls would be needing his help in the near future; he had seen it before. The very power he held on his right arm was the thing that had placed his friend in a coma...[/i] [i]Quickly, he checked the board. Interested in the post about a strange girl at Delta-Hidden-Expansive-Sea of Sand, he decided perhaps they should investigate.[/i] ------------------------------------ -----=====E-Mail=====----- ------------------------------------ [b]To:[/b]Kia, Kayla [b]Author:[/b]Kite [b]Subject:[/b]Strange Girl Hey, girls, you up for a dungeon adventure? Meet me in...Kia's ally(^_~). I'll explain there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [i]Kia wasn't in "the World" for any particular reason. She was in the mood to just?get away from things. After all, who didn't enjoy a good ride down the harbors of Mac Anu? All of a sudden, a tiny voice cheerfully told her, in her head:[/i] "Hello, you've got mail!" [i]Logging out from "the World", Kia was all of a sudden very happy: there were, for once, people out there who actually cared for her. Maybe she could find a way to stay in "the World" forever...[/i] [i]In Kia's inbox was an e-mail to her and Kayla, from this strange Kite person. No sooner had she read it than she was off to "the World".[/i] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "So,"[i]Kia thought,[/i]"That place where I almost died yesterday is now 'Kia's Ally'?"[i]For the first time in a while, she began to laugh, as she walked down the ally behind the Magic Shop...[/i] [I]Yuki, a Heavy Axe, logged into ?the World?, barely noticing the beauty of the bustling root town, Mac Anu. As she began walking down the steps to the city, she noticed a vague red figure running off into the distance. This struck her as kind of strange, as red wasn?t a valid color for clothes in ?the World?.[/I] ?Excuse me!?[I]Yuki barely had time to turn around and see what was happening before Kia, running full-speed, slammed directly into her.[/I] [i]As they were falling down, Yuki yelled out something that got blocked out, because obscene language isn?t generally allowed in ?the World?.[/i] ?What the *deleted* do you think you?re doing?!?[I]shouted Yuki as they both slammed into the concrete.[/I] ?I?m?terribly sorry, I didn-? ?Terribly sorry my *deleted*!? ?But I-? ?Just shut up and get off me!? ?Oh, ok??[I]mumbled Kia, slightly put off by Yuki?s attitude.[/I] [I]As Kia ran off in the direction of the red player, Yuki thought, ?Stupid newbies. Why are they always in such a hurry?!? In reality, it wasn?t the actual crash that angered her?but she had lost a whole hit point because of it! THAT was what angered her so much.[/I] [I]Still, that character in red intrigued her. She decided to find this player, and headed off to the ally behind the Magic Shop, yelling at a bunch of newbies on her way.[/I][/size]
