[QUOTE=Sandy]Honestly, people should be able to laugh about anything, even death. It'd make the world a much, much happier place when people wouldn't take everything so damn seriously and personally (I know I'm at fault here too, but hey, we're all humans here). Remember that you can laugh [i]at[/i] somebody, or [i]with[/i] somebody. A little self-humor doesn't hurt.[/QUOTE] [size=1][color=dimgray]Word...... Couldn't have said it better myself. I personally think God laughs at us sometimes, kinda like when we look back on something, it might have been a crappy situation at the time, but looking back on it you realize it is funny.[/color][/size] [quote name='Sandy]Besides, I wasn't making much of a joke: I [i]have[/i'] read the same theory about a god whose lost his powers because of people not having faith in him from about a cazillion different fantasy novels.[/quote][size=1][color=dimgray]Hmmm the movie Elf comes to mind, or a bagillion other christmas movies. Yes I know, doesn't have to do with God, I'm just stating the theory is out there, and used...... alot.[/color][/size] [color=sienna][color=sienna][/color] [/color]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Dorian sat on the floor, his eyes shut tight, trying to keep out the unbearable light. [i]"Did the pigs take my shades, or did that fucker Dani knock them off"[/i] The thought making his heart race from the anger coarsing through his veins, anger at the cops for being such fucking pigs, though that was nothing compaired to the anger towards Dani, but all he could do was sit and listen, listen to the never ending bull shit spewing from Dani's mouth. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][i]"I could make the room dark, then I could see, but fuck, I'd still just be here"[/i] Dorian mumbled to himself listening to Dani, and a guy named Charles yell. [i]"Looks like me and this Charles got a common problem"[/i] Dorian spat on the ground, almost missing Eddie, who grumbled a few word in spanish, probably curses.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]As Dorian say his ears picked up a new voice in the mix, it was female, and very attractive sounding, like a lulling whisper, or a slight breeze, like a snake whispering in your ear.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Leaning foward Dorian could barely make out the woman questioning his least favorite person at the moment. Though he did hear one thing, her name was Juliet as she continued to question Dani.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"What was your place in this?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Enraged Dorian yelled,[b] "He started it,"[/b] Mumbling a few select words under his breath as he finished.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"She asked me"[/b] Dani yelled back before loundly explaining [b]?But yeah, he?s right. I started it. Giddy little fuckers over there ran right into me and pushed me onto Eden. Thought he could get away with it, so I thought I?d prove him wrong.?[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Ignorent asshole, I didn't fuckin mean to, I tried to be nice and apologize, but your a fucking pig headed dipshit with a chip on his shoulder"[/b] Dorian yelled, but he didn't think Dani heard over his own loud mouth voice.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]?Right. You were [i]defending[/i] yourself. But there was something strange about it. Something strange about the way you talked to that lad too, you can?t do anything? extraordinary, can you?? [/b]Juliet replied casually at first, but hesitating slightly towards the end. She was smart, very smart, and Dorian got the feeling he'd gotten alot lately, different.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Dani said something, but low enough that Dorain couldn't hear, but Juliets footsteps began to echo. "Is she leaving, or maybe she isn't as smart as I thought" Dorian thought to himself, shading his eyes, trying to catch a glimse of what was going on.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]The foot steps stopped, and was followed by what seems the movement of a body, followed by a sharp breath, and it wasn't from the woman. [i]"Definately smart, Definately smart"[/i] Dorian stood up leaning against the wall for support, he wanted to talk to this mystery woman himself, but more footsteps began to echo down the hall, maybe he wouldn't get a chance.[/color][/size] [size=1]OOC: Hey sorry I haven't posted much, hope that my posy makes sense to everyone. Just so every one remembers if you're posting with Dorian, he can't see unless there is low light or no light, or he has sun glasses on, which he normally does anyways.[/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]I definately take it slow, and not go all the way. I have no problem with pre-maritial sex, but you have to be ready because it's a big plunge in a relationship, especially if it's your first time. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Part of the reason why I say you shouldn't go all the way, is *backtracking* the secrecy (even if it's over), it just makes me think that that you two aren't in a stable enough position yet, that or your relationship just isn't as strong as it should be to risk something like that, because it might just cause things to go down hill.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]My suggestion just keep it to fore play on your birthday. Sexually get to know each other better, that way you'll know what each other likes, that way, when or if you decide to go all the way, you can make it more enjoyable for each other.[/color][/size]

[quote name='Esther][size=1']I'm sort of confused, if you don't believe there is a one true religion then do you not believe in a Heaven or Hell? Or any sort of life beyond death? If you believe that God has many faces, then are we all going to the same place when we die?[/size][/quote][size=1][color=dimgray]It's been awhile but I'll reply to you anyways. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I believe in heaven and hell, but whether it is fire and brimstone or your outer darkness I don't know, I haven't died yet. I do believe god will judge us, but not by our physical appearance, whether we've drank, went to church every sunday or had pre-marital sex. I think that God will judge by the caliber of your soul, and how you treated others. And if I'm wrong about anything, I'll stand and account for every sin I've commited.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]In my opinion God doesn't reside in Church buildings, he resides in our own souls, it is the peoples faith that make the buildings special, I have had my scariest experience while I was at a church after hours.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Though I think people should do what is right for them, religions can do good things for many people, but I don't think it's possible to have one true religion. To judge by one standard and one alone, would be comprimising the freedom God gave us in the beginning, especially when there are so many different situations in life you could be in.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I hope that makes more sense for you.[/color][/size]

[color=dimgray][size=1][b]1. What religion are you CURRENTLY following? If you don't have one, then why? [/b]Right now, I guess you could say I'm just spiritual. I haven't found a faith that I can believe in fully, so right now I'm just doing personal research on them, and trying to find something that I believe.[/size][/color] [b] [b][size=1][color=dimgray]2. Why do you follow that religion? Parents, personal reasons, etc?[/color][/size][/b][/b] [size=1][color=dimgray]My family is extrememly LDS/Mormom, much like Aaryanna's. But some people just seem to follow the faith blindly and they just repeat what's been told to them, that they never question them. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]There are some other reasons why I consider myself just spiritual, but those are very controversial, and it would take awhile to explain, but I will say this, I kinda believe in a little bit of everything, and it works for me.[/color][/size] [color=dimgray][size=1][b]3. Do you ever feel that people often critisize you because of these beliefs?[/b] Yes and no, majority of the time I just tell people I'm agnostic or spiritual, and most of the time here they leave it at that. Normally I don't get into the entirety of my beliefs with people I don't know. I do think people would critisize me alot though if I was more forthcoming about it, especially where I live.[/size][/color] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]But the basis of my beliefs is just being kind to people, so I don't encounter much heat from the people I do tell.[/color][/size] [b][size=1][color=dimgray]4. This one may spark a little bit of arguing: Do you believe that your religion is the [i]one true religion?[/i] If so provide evidence.[/color][/size][/b] [b][size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size][/b] [size=1][color=dimgray]I personally don't believe it is possible to have one "true religion". In my oppinion one religion isn't going to be right for everyone in the world, although it may be right for certain people. And if that religion can keep them spiritually satisfied and happy, then by all means go for it. I personally think there is just one god and he has many faces. It's kinda like parenting, a parent can't act the same way for every kid because they are all different, they like different things, and get motivated in different ways.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Well I guess I'll put in my 2 cents in, might as well. I do like the idea of some of the characters going evil for a bit, and the letter idea sits well with me as well. Having a darker driving force adds a more of a twist, especially depending on what that twist is.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Anyways I took your little opening Vicky, I thought it would be an interesting mix, since your powers cause shadows to shift and so forth, and my power is that of shadows. I left the end of the post open so it could be you or Eclipse that grabbed Dorian's arm. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Also I've been thinking, Dorian's powers drive normal people insane, well maybe it doesn't work on the Zodiacs, or it is a slower process needing many many exposures to have a considerable effect on a Zodiacs mental state. [/color][/size]

[color=dimgray][size=1][b]"Why the fuck did you do that?"[/b] A strangely dressed man snarled, squaring face to face with Dorian. Even though this man was the one not paying attention, but then again it wasn't dark enough for Dorian to see fully, even with his dark sunglasses.[/size][/color] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Dorian didn't reply, he just stared at the man infront of him curiously, though his anger was growing. On top of that he felt strange as the area seemed to grow darker, not by his doing either, but he could feel the shadows twist and change. One step further and he would be manipulating them himself, a slight scowl crept across his mouth at the challenge in front of him, especially with the way the shadows were acting. As his anger increased, the shadows grew darker, like two matches being held together to make a bigger flame. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Tipping down his glasses Dorian could see fairly well now, as he looked around the area at the people gathering, his eyes lingered on the beautiful woman who'm the gothic man fell on, glaring once more at the strange man, satisfied pushing the shades back up. Slowly he began letting go of his anger, an unnerving process, but he didn't wish to drive anyone insane at the moment. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]The darkness receded leaving the still lingering unnatural darkness. Swiftly Dorian shouldered past the black clad man, sometimes it was better to think things through, sometimes. Putting on a charming smile he grabbed the woman's delicate hand, taking it swiftly to his lips.[b] "Sorry to bump into you like this, must of zoned out, are you ok?"[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Blushing the woman nodded, softly pulling her hand back. [b]"Well I must be going, sorry again"[/b] As Dorian turned to begin running again, someone grasped his arm.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]OOC: Lucky me, Lucky me, the person that grasps Dorian's arm can be Dani or Eden, I just left it open for one of you.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]So if we have 24 to 29 year olds just saying no, when are they supposed to have kids? Now I realise raising a child out of wedlock is no easy task, hell I'm a product of it, but this honesly will it solve anything. By the time you are 24 you should be able to say no if you want to, you're an adult, I think you'd know what sex is, and if you want it. And also at that age I'm sure you would be able to realize the consiquences of sex, whether or not you are still a virgin. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Yeah it would be cool if everyone could have kids while married and stay that way, but life likes to throw curve balls. Raising a child is hard to do when you're single but it isn't impossible, and personally I'm grateful I was raised by a single mom, I think it's given me a respect for women alot of guys lack.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Hmm I could go on for days about this, I just love video games and anime which adds up to a thin wallet lol :animeswea.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Anyways a game I would like to see as an anime would be Final Fantasy Tactics. Not the one for Gameboy Advanced, the original one. I love that game it's one of my favorite games of all time, and the story is epic in my opinion. Although you'd really have to throw out the class change system, unless you could think of something innovative to apply this to the anime. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]This is kinda off topic but one thing I think it would be cool is if they started making more anime's based off books, like classic literature and so forth. I would love it if they made a Picture of Dorian Gray movie.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]All I have to say is if you can have a laugh because of this do, I think laughter is a priceless thing, and a good thing for the most part. There is a quote that Oscar Wilde said "Life is far too important to be take seriously." I just think that there are times in life you need to laugh at things you shouldn't it's one of the easiest ways to get over it. We all die one day, and if someone can find a little good humor in my passing, I hope they take it cuz I'd rather have people laughing than crying.[/color][/size]

[quote name='Jakehammaren']Oh yes, I am quite aware of this. That's exactly why I'm frustrated. I have crazy Nazis talking to me on MySpace all the time, and some guy sent me a message telling me I was an anti-semetic bigot simply because I wear a Mjolnir necklace. It's rediculous.[/quote][size=1][color=dimgray]That is pretty whacked. This topic frustrates me as well not as far as the music goes, because I don't really listen to that type of music. But I am mixed as far as races, and norse mythology is my favorite kind of myths. Anyways back on topic, thats just what people do though, they find symbols of power and the use them for their own purpose or meaning. The swastika itself is a perfect example of this, it's just sad that people never know the true meaning of the symbols they associate with negativity. I wouldn't be surprised if I got some weird looks because about some Norse symbols I'm getting as tattoo's, one being Odin's ravens Munin and Hugin, the other a symbol called Odin's horn.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Hmm New York, when I think of New York it makes me think of rap music. Tupac Shakur was born in new york, Biggie, The Diplomats, Big L, I could go on but it just reminds me of music. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Also there are a few thoughts of the panther party, though only a few, not enough that I'd really be able to give a lecture or anything. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I also get a alot of thoughts of history, Jazz, Bootlegging, The Mob. I guess alot of what I seem to think of is cultural, alot of dealing with my african american half. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Oh and the last think I think of a kid I know that used to say he was from Brooklyn, and a whole lot of New York Pride behind it. Well come to find out he was born there but he only lived there til he was about 6 or 7, then he moved to the Suburbs of New Jersey before moving here to Utah. He used act like he was all hard and stuff, like he had been on the streets of New York his whole life, when he had lived just as much of his life in Utah and rich suburbs of Jersey. But yeah I don't know it was just lame he lied, even if part of it was the truth, I could go off for days about this kid, nice kid, just lots of problems.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]The black limo gliding past the intricate iron gates, normally Andreas would have admired the design, letting his eyes have free range with every inch. It was art to him, unlike most, but this gate, this gate seemed ominous, as if Andreas was staring at bars of a prison cell, a cell about to be shut.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]As the brakes came to a silent stop, the door opened flooding the dim interior with light. Stepping out Dre shaded his eyes, looking around the lavish grounds. [i]"Wow it's quite stunning her, father's eyes would burst if he saw this building"[/i] Dre muttered to himself examining the mansion. After the shock of the place he would be living settled, Andreas. Noticed a small group of people infront of the large carved doors leading into the house. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][i][color=dimgray]"Looks like I'm not alone, I guess I'll go join the party'[/color] [color=darkred]'They'll[/color][color=darkred] see right through you to the freak you are[/color]"[/i][color=dimgray] Dre thought, the voice in his head faintly whispering curses and blastphemy, but it wasn't a bad episode at all. Even with the medication they happened, what the meds really helped was the frequency, duration and the severity.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Walking up to the group, Andreas introduced himself.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [i][b][size=1][color=dimgray]"Hello everyone, my name is Andreas, though you can call me Dre or whatever nickname you can think of, I just thought I'd introduce myself since I will probably be spending the next few months with all of you."[/color][/size][/b][/i] [b][i][size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size][/i][/b] [size=1][color=deepskyblue]OOC: Sorry about the short crappy post, better than my long crappy ones though.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE=Aaryanna][color=darkorchid] You?re an adult and you have the maturity to reason and realize that such an act would be harmful. Teenagers and kids lack that maturity, so it?s not so easy in my view to just assume they even thought of the stuff you did. [color=#000000][/QUOTE] [/color][size=1][color=dimgray]Hmm not necessarily, because I am only 18 and I've been dealing with suicidal situations within myself since I was 12, but then again I don't consider myself like most teenagers. I got diagnosed with Depression at 12 due to chemical imbalance, and I tend to get suicidal when depressed but I came to the realization that suicide would hurt so many around me at age 14 or so. Another thing is I love helping people, so through selflessness I've found a form of balance, and a few other things to help. It bugs me though when people attempt suicide for a stupid reason, especially since I've struggled with it for so long, and alot of those people just do it for attention.[/color][/size] [/color][color=darkorchid][/color] [color=darkorchid][color=#000000][QUOTE=Aaryanna][/color]Cowardly? Shallow? I don?t think so, [b]immature[/b] is what really fits here. Don?t you see? We are assuming that we know the whole story, that the only reason she did this was because someone wouldn?t sleep with her. Maybe I?m wrong, but in every case of suicide I?ve ever read about, there has always been other underlining problems, like an abusive parent, or the kid was tormented by other kids. [/color][/QUOTE][size=1][color=dimgray]I think you are right as far as the immaturity, but I also agree with ChibiHorsewoman on cowardly and shallow too. Living at times isn't easy, and it is running away to take your own life really, albiet there are certain circumstances such as a mental illness where more stuff comes into play. The manner in which she tried to kill herself just screams look at me though, because it's not a guarenteed way to die, and I don't think she really wanted to die in the first place, since she only hurt her ankle, it seems like she was wearing a seatbelt. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]It's not human nature to kill yourself, so majority of suicides don't actually want to die especially if there is no underlining issues or mental disorders, either they just thing it's an easy way out of a problem that probably has other solutions, or are trying to get attention, though there are alot of other reasons. There was a study and most bridge jumpers that survived regretted jumping on the way down, and the same thought probably crosses peoples mind who arent so lucky. Though you live and learn from you temporary weakness[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Like many others have already stated because of her selfishness another family has to pay, and stuff is gonna be hard for that family, being a single parent is never easy, for parents or for kids, and I know this is true because I have a single mom. This whole article just makes me mad, and wonder where is my generation header for the future.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Anyways but what I get from the article is, she was driving a Mercedes-Benz and attending a private school. To me that says that she is used to getting her way, and also that she probably hasn't gone through many hardships that would bring maturity. But at the same time this also incites the possibilty that maybe her parents don't really pay that much attention to her, that she has to fend for herself at home, and that her parent's really have helped her grow as a person by never making her earn anything, just using gifts and money in place of attention or love. It's hard to say, but I'd definately like to know more about the backround of the girl, and alot more about her parents.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray][b]Name: [/b]Dorian Mael[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Age:[/b] 23[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Star Sign:[/b] Aries[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Powers:/Night[/b] [i]April 1st[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Dorian use to suffer from an extreme phobia of the dark due to being locked in a abandoned bomb shelter at the age of 7. He took this fear with him through his teenage years into adulthood before he ever tried to deal with it. At one of his regular visits to his shrink, he decided to try a new approach on Dorian, hypnotism. He would try to put Dorian back in the original event, Dorian's adult conscious might be able to suppress some of the hysteria and fear.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]In a twisted way it worked, Dorian's eyes have become ultra sensitive to light, making him able to see in complete darkness, but he is almost completely blind in normal light without pitch black shades, even then his vision is obscurred. Dorian also can manipulate darkness, covering a room in a light eating pitch black, although doing this tends to burn out or break lights in the area, as well as drive whoever is engulfed by the darkness insane. Dorian seems uneffected by the unnatural darkness, but maybe it is taking a slow toll on his own sanity.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Appearance:[/b] [url="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j285/o_th1rt3en_o/juju.jpg"]CLick[/url] and [url="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j285/o_th1rt3en_o/jaswa.jpg"]cLicK[/url][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Personality:[/b] Strait foward, confident almost to the point of being cocky, kind but slightly rough around the edges, and rather charming. This is Dorian, but his appearance decieves most people of one his intelligence, and two his terrible fear of the dark. Though now that the latter is remedied Dorian's thrives during the night, enjoying every minute of the social scene. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]Dorian is very open with his emotions, and sometimes quite childish, though other times very mature. Which side shows just depends on what is better for himself, certain times it pays to be mature, and certain times you can get away with not being so. Dorian is very hot headed, and will not lose an arguement, you might be right, but Dorian will keep up the battle til you give in, even if he is argueing the sky is polka dotted.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]Basically if Dorian cares about you, or believes strongly in something he will stand by you or it til his death. He is extremely loyal and caring, just has a harder time showing it, and thats about the only emotion he struggles with. With Dorian it's always an extreme, there is rarely middle ground.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Biography/Sample: [/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"Dorian, how are things coming along, noticing any improvements?"[/b] Dr. Melenchek said warmly, though his eyes were practically rolling. He was tired of this case, and tired of Dorian, but money was money, even if nothing he did helped.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"You know the answer to that doc, same **** different day."[/b] Dorian stared at the plump balding man sitting leasurly in a large leather arm chair.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]Clasping his hands together he sighed [b]"I see, well if you want to take a seat we can get down to business."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]Dorian roughly plopped down on the leather couch across from Dr. Melenchek, slouching in the soft cushions as the doctor looked down on him from his chair.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"I want to try something new today."[/b] Melenchek paused, shifting slightly in his chair continueing once settled. [b]"Your fear, it stems from that bomb shelter you were locked in as a child, well I think if you could face that moment again as an adult you might be able to overcome, or at least surpress your fear."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]Standing up the doctor walked over to the blinds and shut them. [b]"When I put you under hypnosis, you are going to experience the terror that has haunted you til this very day, though it is only your memory of the event, basically you are in your own head, so theoreticly speaking if you imagine something in should happen or appear, understand?"[/b] Dr. Melenchek finished rolling over an office chair close to the head of the couch and sitting down.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"Yeah, whatever you say, just tell me what I need to do so we can get this over with"[/b] Dorain yawned, he was started to get tired of these visits too.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"I want you to lay down and focus on my voice, now follow my finger with you eyes" [/b]The doctor's voice began to fade, he was talking but it didn't make sense any more, like a baby babbling. The world began to fade, fade to black.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"Huh, what the hell."[/b] Dorian said looking around a pitch black room, strange shapes lurking in the darkness. His heart began pounding as fear crept along his skin, raising each hair on his body. His breathing began to shallow, as he backed up into a wall.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"It's ok, it's ok, concentrate, I can do this, imagine, imagine......" [/b]Suddenly the was something metallic within Dorian's grasp. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]After feeling along it's cool surface he figure out what it was, quickly opening it and lighting it. Cautiously he held the flame of the Zippo out in front of him, giving faint illumination to the room. It was rather abandoned, but the light made it alot less ominous, revealing the shadowed shapes to only be shelves and boxes. Dorian began to breath easy, slowly walking around the room looking at everything. [b]"This isn't that bad, maybe it's working."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]As Dorian took another step foward something happened, he could feel something was wrong in his stomach. A strong burst of wind extinguished the light from the lighter, causing Dorian to panic. As he struggled to relight the flame the Zippo slipped out of his hand, falling to the floor. The darkness seemed darker than ever, and it was different it was almost alive. Shapes began to swirl around Dorian as he sat there panting, his heart racing like a formula 1 car. This was his limit, he snapped "[b]LET ME OUT OF HERE!!! DAMN YOU LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, let me out, lemme out, lemmeout, lemmot........"[/b] Dorian screamed before falling to the floor, shaking, curling up into the fetal position.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"Dorian wake up, wake up it's over, you ok?"[/b] The doctors voice was refreshing, like a cold glass of water on a hot day.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]Opening his eyes Dorian was forced to shut them again as a bright light was shining on them. [b]"Hey doc, what happened, what's with the light, can you get it out of my face it's bright as hell."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"You started going into a shock I believe, and what do you mean light, I still have the blinds closed?"[/b] The doctor asked whiping a few beads of sweat from his forhead.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"I mean that light that's shining in my face you pig!"[/b] Dorian screamed opening his eyes, he could see, but nothing had a shadow, colors were faded, and Melenchek's face, it was ghost white. Sitting up Dorian kept his eyes on the doctor who was waiving his arms around like he was blind.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"Dorian, what is this? What is this darkness, I can't see, oh my god it's so dark, what's that AHHHH!"[/b] The doctor screamed as he fell to the floor and began to roll and shake.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]The room slowly began to get brighter and brighter, and it wasn't soon before Dorian had to shade his eyes. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed a pair of sunglasses sitting on Melenchek's desk. He quickly put them on, not stylish at all, they looked like they were from a lost era, but he could actually see with them on, although his vision still wasn't the best. Looking down he could make out the basic shape of the doctor, who lay curled up on the floor shaking. Dorian couldn't see the details of his face, but his eyes seemed wide, like he had seen death, and who knows maybe he had.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][b]"Case cured doc."[/b] Dorian said roughly, walking out of the office.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=deepskyblue]OOC: Sorry I haven't posted in awhile everyone, Life's been crazy is the easiest way to put it.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Is that blood on you?"[/b] Marquis asked as Alexia walked towards the back of the main room. Alexia looked down and pulled the front of her shirt forward to see a large red smear across it. [b]"Yeah, I guess that would be blood."[/b] She said solemnly, walking past them all. Marquis let it go, he didn't need to ask who's, he could see it in her eyes, only a slight change, but they had grown that much harder, and her aura matched the change.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]He overheard Chase make a comment about Aesera, though Alexia seemed detached at the moment, less human than not, though maybe that was just how she was, she did have alot of weight on her shoulders.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Marquis casually leaned against the wall, his mind was racing but he kept the thoughts surpressed, focusing on sensory awareness. Although he couldn't help but notice the slight glow from the back of his hand, concentrating he produced a glow of light from his palms, the marks on the backs of his hands glowing lucidly.[i] "So this light is how I heal people I suppose, but it's weird I feel like that's only the tip of the iceburg, the energy feels like I could refine it into something else....."[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Holding his palm out Marquis focused, [i]"Something simple, a ball."[/i] The light began to swirl into a shape, the light from his palm dulling as the cross on the back of his hand shone brighter. The ball of light began to expand slightly, as Marquis willed it to grow, finally stopping when it was as big as a baseball, resting softly in his palm.[i] "Let's try something more complexed."[/i] Marquis mumbled focusing on the shape of a dagger, the ball began to twist and contort, lengthening, trying to settle into the shape of a Main Gauche. Sweat beaded down Marquis's face, as the daggerish shape distorted, dispelling in a bright flash.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]The flash brought alot of stares from the people in the room, some of the God's Souls, some of them from the rescued servants. Shrugging Marquis shook the stared off, glancing outside through the window. Squaring with the window he saw Aesera, running and gunning towards the safe house, and she was almost to the barrier.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]"[b]I see Aesera, I'm gonna go open the barrier"[/b] Marquis stated running towards the door. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]As he reached the door he quickly opened it, creating a temporary hole in the barrier. Aesera had her back to the door, laser pistols firing at closing spawn. Swiftly Marquis reached out with his left arm grabbing her right arm pulling her in the door. As she stumbled through the door Marquis could see a spawn infested bear almost to the door.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][i]"Shit I can't close everything in time"[/i] He thought stepping in front of Aesera, holding his right hand up, elbow at his hip. Quickly Marquis formed another ball of light, hovering an inch from his hand, steping forward with his right foot he thrust his palm foward the ball rocketing towards the bear. It struck the beast in it's snarling face, exploding in a bright flash.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Quickly turning he shut the door, coming face to face with Aesera [b]"What was that?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"I'm not quite sure, but I'm pretty sure it's only a basic application, but I don't think I killed the bear, it's probably just knocked out, and probably temporaly blinded, I'm not really sure."[/b] Marquis explained looking down at his palm, brushing past the girl.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][i]"What other secrets lie within my body, within my soul?"[/i] He thought turning his hand over under his gaze.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969][/color][/size] [size=1][color=deepskyblue]OOC: Sorry crappy post I didn't really know what to post, anyways sorry that it sucks.[/color][/size]

Here I am fashionably late as always, o_O again I apologize for the delay Kairi. [size=1][color=mediumturquoise][i]Dear Dante,[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=mediumturquoise][i]It seems that you know me, or at least of me quite well. This alone would compel me to find out more and the only way seeming to do so is to join your little game, chirade or whatever it be. Forgive me if I offended, no harm was meant, it just isn't everyday you get an e-mail such as yours. [/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=mediumturquoise][i]Your gift of $30,000 is appreciated, I also wanted to send you confirmation of my silence, I am a man of my word, even without the money, I would happily obliged. [/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=mediumturquoise][i]As you may or may not know, I do suffer from a slight case of Schizophrenia, I am taking a months supply of medication although through the duration of my say, if you could make arrangements for this it will probably make my stay with you more pleasant.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=mediumturquoise][i]I will most likely be seeing you within a few days from the sounds of your e-mail, until then,[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=mediumturquoise][i]Sincerly,[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=mediumturquoise][i]Andreas W.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]- Message Sent -[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Andreas slowly shut his iBook, leaning back to stare at the ceiling. "[i]Is this real'[/i] [color=darkred][i]'No who would ever give you thirty-thousand dollars, let alone live with your sorry ass'[/i][/color] [i]'But I have it, and now I can help mom'[/i] [color=darkred][i]'Take the money, your mom is going to die one day, whether it's cancer or old age doesn't matter'[/i][/color] [i]'SHUT UP!'[/i] [color=darkred][i]'..............[color=darkred]'[/color][/i][/color][color=darkred]"[/color][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][i][b]The next day.......[/b][/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"But son, how did you get that much money? How are you going to live if you give me all your money" [/b]A soft, caring voice resounded through the phone, though there was something in her tone, something that told you she was sick.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Don't worry about it mom, I'll be fine. I got offered a job, I can't go into details but it's with the government, so I'll be well taken care of, I won't be able to contact you for about 6 months though."[/b] Andreas spoke, the half lie, half truth burning his tounge like acid, as a voice in his head released a sickly laugh.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Thats a long time, though I know better than to ask questions you won't get answers for, so you'll be ok?"[/b] The concern flooded through her mouth, but she didn't act on the mothers instict pulsing through her veins.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Ya mom I'll be fine, everything has already been arranged, just get better and we can go over everthing when I return ok?"[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Ok this is just so sudden but I love you Andreas, Take care of yourself, ok"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Love you too mom, Get well."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][i]Click[/i]. Andreas set the phone down, turning back to his iBook, a search page opened. [i]"No results for Dante Lui'ci"[/i]He mouthed looking at the bold red print. [i][b]"[/b]I can't find any information about this guy, not a scrap, he must really have connections, and money if there isn't information on him. I guess this could be a scam, but the money, the routing and transit #'s were both legit, it's definately real money...."[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][i]Knock Knock.[/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Andreas swifly closed the window, twisting out of his chair and walking towards the door. He lived by himself in a small appartment, just a room, small kitchen, and a small bathroom. Placing on hand on the dead bolt the other on the knob he twisted, the door gliding open, his best friend John standing in the door.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Dre what's up? I heard you were leaving, whats the deal man?"[/b] The brown haired man asked letting himself in.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Yeah I am, I'm going to live with my mom for a bit, she is going to be getting treatment so I am gonna take care of her for awhile."[/b] Andreas explained leading John back to his room.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Awwww you're such a cutie"[/b] John said wrapping Andreas's head in his arm, ruffling his hair, before letting go "[b]But thats good she's getting treatment, I'm happy for you. So when you leaving?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Today"[/b] The reply was short, but the effect was long as John's eyes widened before he regained control.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Damn so soon, How come you didn't say anything, we could have at least grabbed so brew at a pub for a farewell."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Andreas hesitated before answering, packing the last of the clothes he was taking in his second suitcase. [b]"Sorry, my heart just wouldn't have been in it you know, I just need some time away I think."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"It's ok man, sorry to put you on the spot like that, I understand, be sure to keep in touch though ok?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"I'll try, she doesn't have the web, so I'm SOL there, but maybe I can call, or go old fashioned and write, I'll be back before you know it though."[/b] Andreas reasured with a warm smile, though the smile only touched the surface, he was lying to the 2 most important people in his life.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Another Knock interupted the two, as Andreas walked to grab the door. A man stood in a black suit, hair neatly brushed, eyes hidden by pitch black sunglasses.[b] "Pardon, would you happen to be Andreas Willmonte?"[/b] he asked sternly.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Yes"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Your limo awaits, is there any luggage you'd like me to carry?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Yes please, follow me"[/b] Andreas motioned the man inside, showing him the bags. The large man nodded, grabbing both at once leaving the 2 friends alone.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Who's he, and whats with the limo?"[/b] John asked scratching his head curiously.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"A guy from the hospital, the treatment they are going to perform is somewhat experitmental since my moms case is rare, so they asked me to meet with them prior so they could go over the details."[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"Ah I see, well that's my cue I suppose, stay safe Dre." [/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][b]"You too John"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray]Andreas watched as his friend walked out the still open door. Sighing he looked at himself in the mirror, [color=darkred][i]"Lies, lies and more lies, some son and friend you are".[/i][/color] Smoothing out his jeans, Andreas grabbed a black blazer from his closet putting it on over his black dress shirt. Grabbing his iPod as he left, he locked his door for the last time in what would probably be awhile. Walking briskly he approached the black limo, it's body smooth, and sheen, shining in the dull sun. A different man in the same attire opened the door for him as he approached.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=gray][i]"Not a pratical vehicle for London, but I guess when your rich appearance is everything"[/i] He thought to himself, stepping into the car as a small drizzle began to leak from the sky.[/color][/size] OOC: Thats all for now, I'll post getting to the mansion after a few others have posted theirs. Let me know if anything needs changing Kairi. Just to let you know the red sentences is the voice that Dre's Schizophrenia manifests itself as.

[quote name='DeadSeraphim][color=indigo][size=1][font=Arial]I'm not sure of your chances of getting it outside of Australia (or at a reasonable price, if so). It's unspiced and very dark and rich, so I wish you luck regardless, cause it really is delicious.[/font][/size'][/color][/quote] [size=1][color=dimgray]Hmmm welll I deffinately doubt being able to find it in Utah, since we have like the most horrible liquor laws out of the entire US. All the Liquor Stores her are owned by the State Government, so they close at like 1 am, aren't open on sundays. Then in my county you can't by beer on sundays, but it doesn't really matter because the beer here has a pathetic alcohol content. So it's kinda funny we celebrate for out of state beer :beer: :animeswea . [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]And since I'm still underage it's not impossible for me to get liquor, but it makes it alot harder to look for something in particular if your not the one doing the looking, and I still gotta wait 3 more years til I'm 21 to buy legally. :animestun And in all honesty I'll probably visit Australia before that lol.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]The rising sun's light filtered through the canopy of the forest, casting long shadows and little light to the blue of the morning. The smell of the fire still stung at Marquis's nose even though they were a good distance away from the remains of the house. Looking back he watched as Aesera's group made their way back to the armory remains, [i]"I wouldn't mind another weapon, something long range maybe, but I get this feeling I won't need it"[/i] Marquis thought looking down at his right hand, his palm and the cross on the back glowing faintly. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Master you're glowing sort of, I'm sure of it,"[/b] Boo squealled floating around Marquis and the tree he leant on. [b]"I can only see it happening on your hands and in your eyes, but I'm sure it must be under your clothes too"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"It's nothing Boo, I wan't you to scout ahead see if you can find anything, whether it be the safehouse or monsters, I want to know what to expect"[/b] Marquis stood from the tree walking out of the shadows towards Alexia, recieving a sharp [i]"Sir"[/i] from the Sylph as is sped off.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Looking at the others left he wasn't really analyzing them, he saved that for opponents, just trying to figure out how they fight by what weapons they recieved, so they could fight better as a whole. The first he scanned over was Kyne who stood ominously watching over the remaining group, his great sword propped on one of his massive shoulders. [i]"That sword is huge, I could probably wield it now but I get the feeling he could weild it before he recieved his soul." [/i]Marquis thought as the man's eyes met his own, Marquis giving him a dip of his head in approval and aknowledgement.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Looking over he spotted Cole, holding a scythe of all weapons. [i]"Hmm, Definately not the weapon I would expect from her and an extremely hard one to master at that, we'll have to see how she fights with it I suppose"[/i] Marquis stopped walking suddenly, shaking his head as he realized something[i] "Did I just refer to myself as a WE, what's going on here, I need some answers, and she has them."[/i] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Looking up at the last one of the remaining group, Alexia was one not to be looked over. "[i]No weapon? But her aura, it's the largest I've seen, it's like she is just a mere container for a more powerful being or energy, and she needs no weapon, she is a weapon"[/i] Marquis thought coming face to face with the weapon he had just been thinking about.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"So how far away is this safe house?"[/b] Though as the question rolled off his tounge a barrage of howls roared through the forest. Turning around Marquis drew both his blades, squaring back to back with Alexia. Two people within his vision dropped to the ground, rapidly confulsing, their hands clutching at their heads. [b]"Are you two ok?"[/b] Marquis asked taking a step towards them.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"It's no good, they are spawn now, their only salvation is at the tip of your sword. GO! Help whoever you can, it's a waste to have us both here"[/b] Alexia said turning her head slightly so she could look at Marquis.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Damn[/b]" Marquis ran foward to the people, stabbing both of the fallen victims in the heart. As he stood from the ground he just managed to jump back as a Spawn swung a large branch as him. As the beast raised the crudgel again Marquis slashed across his wrists with the Rapier, the weapon falling to the ground hand still attached. Before the creature could take a step forward the Main Gauche was sheathed in it's throat, leaving the man or what appeared to be on gurgling as it fell to it's knee's unlodging the dagger. Looking around Marquis coulding see a soul in sight, damned or not, when a scream resounded in his ears.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"That was Madeline, I'm sure of it"[/b] He muttered to himself darting off towards the location of the voice. [i]"I hope I'm not too late, I can't be too late"[/i] His thoughts raced as he jumped a fallen tree, landing swifly and seeing his target a few meters in front of him. It was his maid, and she was being circled by a lone wolf, if he could just reach her in time. The beast turned and began to close the distance, jumping up it's jaws snapping wildly, her face white and eyes wide at the white fangs that would be her reaper. Marquis swiftly cut around her, thrusting his sword into the beast open mouth, it's body going limp as the blade was pushed deeper by the colliding momentums till it was swallowed to the hilt. Letting the body drop to the ground Marquis pulled out blade, whiping the blood off on the wolf's fur.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Turning he looked at Madeline, sitting on her knee's tears streaming down her face, leaving clean lines through the ash and dirt. Sheathing his Main Gauche Marquis extended his hand to help her up. She just looked up and the man that had saved her life, her green eyes still wide. Suddenly she took his hand and pressed it to her lips, kissing it over and over again.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]"Thank you [i]Mon Ange[/i], my angel I will be your's for all eternity[/b]" She said inbetween kisses, as Marquis stared down shocked.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Gathering himself Marquis stopped her and helped her to her feet, [b]"Nevermind that, we got to get to the safe house, we are too vulnerable here"[/b] Turning around Marquis saw a large cottage hidden well by the surrounding forest [b]"I wonder if that is it?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]OOC: I hope this is ok, lol sorry it's such a long post, I guess I was making up for not posting in awhile, sorry about that too. Anyways let me know if I need to change anything DC.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]We should start a drinkers club, lol. Anyways I am an underage drinker, but I guess you could say I'm something of a lush. I don't need to drink but I do it quite regularly. I'm also a pretty crazy drinker, because I take most my drinks strait and without a chaser, stupidity of youth you could say. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I am a rum drinker as well Dead, I am going to have to try Bundaburg. I like my spiced rums, although Captain Morgan Tattoo is pretty good from what I remember. I also drink Barbarosa quite often, not as good but cheap. Have you ever tried Spiced Rum and 7up, it kinda has a Creme Soda taste it's pretty good, though you can't put as much alcohol in compaired to a Rum and Cola, because the Soda isn't as strong of a flavor.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Kahula is good, in my opinion a little sweet but I love coffee. I'm pretty easily pleased as long as it's alcohol. Anything amaretto is amazing in my opinion as well, I addicted to the flavor whether it be in my coffee, hot chocolate, or liquor.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]One of my favorite drink mixes is a Kamakaze, Vodka, Orange Vodka Mixer, and Lemon Juice Extract, tastes like lemonade. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I'd say the worst alcohol I've ever had, was UV Vodka, YUCK! It tasted like cough syrup, the worst flavor in the world, well maybe not that bad but I hate cough syrup, it makes me gag.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I'm not a big Tequila fan, I'll drink it, and the good thing is, it makes beer taste soo much better. I tend to drink alot of beer though, just because it's the easiest to get where I live. We have horrible strict liquor laws, enough to drive you nuts. So far the favorite beers would have to be Budwiser and Miller, though most of the time I don't complain I just drink.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Hmmm right now there are 3 places I would rather be.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]The first would have to be anywhere snowboarding. I love snowboarding to death, it's anti-depressant and almost a religion for me. I'm not a big fan of the cold but it's so worth the trade.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Secondly I'd say some fantasy realm lol. Some place I could run around with a sword, spear, or whatever weapon and kill monsters or whatever. I've probably just been playing to many RPG's and watching too much anime but hey everyone got to have their escape.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Lastly, and the only location I'd say Japan. I'd love to live there for a period in my life, to just try and absorb the culture. I think that it would be such an eye opening experience, though I think traveling period is an eye opener.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I am pretty content with where I am right now, especially since it's about to snow, and you know what that means.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Wow, I think I might be one of the only people that didn't like Captain Planet, I hate the show, and I hate saying I hate something. Ok Well I don't really hate the show, but I hate Captain Planet, his outfit, his green hair, his blue skin, even his voice. He was soooo cheeeesy, even though that seems to be childrens television in general lol. I didn't mind the show I liked the other characters, though the villians were almost as bad as CP. I did like the Captain Planet skit on Robot Chicken though, it was too funny, probably because I hate him so bad.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]One of my favorite cartoons that hasn't been mentioned yet, was Pirates of DarkWater. I loved this show to pieces, in matter of fact I forgot the name of it and I was bugged forever that I couldn't remember it. I finally figured it out like a year ago, when I was watching Cartoon Networks Boom and it came on.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Another one to mention, I can't remember the name though, it's a movie though, like Nemo's Adventure in Slumberland or something. It's about a boy named Nemo, and like this black darkness thing, and he has like a flying bed. Me and my cousin used to watch that movie daily, we loved it.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]I also really liked X-men, Darkwing Duck, Gargoyles, Tail Spin, Gummy Bears, this show about gnomes, and many more, I love cartoons!!![/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Relationship advice, something I'm good at giving but bad at following. Anyways I don't get too lucky when it comes to relationships, though I have had my fair share of flings.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]As far as kissing goes, my advice is use your lips, even if there is more than lip to lip contact going on. Lips are one of the most sensitive body parts you have, so why not indulge them. Like Rifles said, try not to press to hard and take it slower till your comfortable kissing. It's almost like a dance, you take it slow till your familiar with the steps then you can speed things up.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]About him not wanting to tell people, I am pretty distrusting of guys, being one myself I know how most think. That to me seems like he is trying to keep it on the down low because he might have intrest in another female in the class, and doesn't want to botch things. Although that's just me being a skeptic, he probably is an extremely nice guy. Just try talking to him about it though, don't pry too much, but don't shy away from it. It sounds like you are shy, but that is something that doesn't really work in a relationship, their has to be communication, if something bothers you, you need to let him know, and vice versa, relationships in my opinion are just a giant work in progress, and it takes effort in all aspects.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]Anyways I hope any of that helped, and I'm sorry if it offends in anyway, stuff like this is a touchier subject.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=dimgray][b]Name:[/b] Andreas "Dre" Willmonte [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Location:[/b] London, England [b]Appearance:[/b] [url="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j285/o_th1rt3en_o/guys220.jpg"]Click.[/url] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Personality:[/b] Dre is quiet, reserved but well spoken, not standing out in a crowd at all. Kind and compassionate he loves doing things for others. Though one thing he has mastered is the art of smiling on the outside, even if that smile is only on the surface. Dre struggles with a small degree of schizophrenia, which almost adds a hyde to his persona, sometimes ranging from extreme depression to a strong sense of anger. These episodes are rare because of medication, only happening during extreme stress situations and other random occurrences. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Bio:[/b] Andreas grew up in Ireland for the first 16 years of his life. His life wasn't too complicated, just a small town, where everyone one knew everyone. His parents were seperated, his mom living in Ireland while his dad lived over in England, as a succesful architect.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]It was the appearance of Andreas's disorder that made him move to his dads, though it also presented the opportunity for him to attend a better school. There where better hospitals in England, with more specialists in mental conditions. Dre was diagnosed with schizophrenia, a mild case lacking the halucination that some cases develop. Dre's demon as he called it where voices in his head, always negative, when someone told him he was a good person he couldn't believe it because there was always a voice in his head telling him he wasn't, that the bad deeds done in his life would outway whatever good he did. Medication helped, but there were still episodes every once in a while. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray]This had a interesting effect on Dre though, instead of the usual lack of motivation associated with the illness, it drove him, he needed to prove it wrong, even though it was a never ending struggle. He excelled in school, graduating at the top of his class, then going on to a University studying Psycology. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]It was during class checking his E-mails that Andreas stumbled apon the email that would change his life.[/color][/size][size=1][color=dimgray] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Greatest Desire:[/b] To feel accepted and good about himself [/color][/size] [size=1][color=dimgray][b]Greatest Fear:[/b] Losing control of his schizophrenia/it getting worse.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#696969]Sorry it took so long to finish, mild writers block lately, still kinda got it, but I scrapped something together. I kinda changed some smaller thing in doing so, though let me know if I need to change anything.[/color][/size]
