[center][b][u][i]Pokémon: Age of War[/b][/u][/i][/center] [b][u][i]The Tale To Be Told?.[/b][/u][/i] [size=1] ??. And so after God, in form of the Messiah Ashen, finished his trials amongst men, he returned to a great mountain on the far reaches of the world. It was here that he ascended the mountain, and upon reaching the top of this mountain, he called forth his Five Holy Beasts to retrieve him from this world. And so on the back of the Holy White Beast, he flew back to the heavens, whilst the Holy Beasts of Fire and Ice and Lightning, and Life guarded him on his journey?.? Final Acts, Verse 4: 15 [i][b] Book of the Messiah [/b][/i] ?? And so the prophet Elias spoke, ?Upon yonder mountain, lie the emissaries of Lord God himself. Five beautiful beasts of indescribable glory. He who can conquer these great beasts will have the powers created by God Himself at their bidding?. ?.. ?However,? spoke Elias in omen, ?? the cost of Our Lord?s power is vast and heavy. Beware the day that man seeks this power, for it shall be a black day, indeed.??? The Gospels according to St. Elias, Verse 8: 19 [i][b] Book of the Messiah [/b][/i] ?Brothers! Sisters! Here me, well. For a holy ground of Our Lord has come under the hands of blasphemers! Heathens, I say, have soiled the Holy Mountain of God?s Mighty Beasts! We?ve allowed this, and we must repent immediately! We must repent! Our sacraments, my brothers and sisters, shall be the blood of blasphemers. God has spoken to me, brothers and sisters; he has demanded we take his land back from those who wish to corrupt it with their evil lies, and spread the Gospel of the Dark King. We must cleanse our Holy Land. We must cleanse it with the flames of our outrage? the flames of conquest and glory! We must take back Our Lord?s mountain?. The Mountain of the Holy Beasts.? The Edict of Celadon Sanctuary [i][b] Father Jonathan, Grand Bishop of the Vestian Church of Celadon [/b][/i] [center]------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] ??.. Whilst young Hari dreamed, he felt his body lift into the air by unearthly means. Opening his eyes, he found that he flew through the air at the gait of wind, finding beneath him a bed of warm red feathers, the back of the beautiful angel of Bhagat, known as Ho-Oh. Looking beneath him, he watched as the World traveled beneath him, whilst around him flew four other mighty angels?. In the distance, the angels ascended down unto the top of a mighty mountain. To either side, one could see the beauties of the World of Bhagat. To the left, a beautiful river delta, to the left, an amazing forest full of life and foliage. However, this was all overshadowed, as Hari looked to the skies above to see the unfathomable beauty of Lord God Bhagat. Hari became weak in the great presence and fell to his knees in submission?. And in an instant, with the site of the mighty Bhagat, all the worlds truth and knowledge burdened Hari at once, sending him into a deep sleep for many, many years. Whence he awoke, young Hari ascended the great mountain on his feet. Feeling thirsty, he journeyed to the beautiful river delta to drink. Suddenly he became shocked as he looked upon himself, for young Hari was young no more. He had aged many years in his sleep, now an adult, a long, silken beard grown from his face. He had become Bhagat?s holy prophet on Earth, his emissary, his messenger. He had become Govinda, the Preserver of the Truth.? Tafsir 77 [i][b] The Arhzang, Holy Book of the Temple of Govinda [/b][/i] ?Children of Bhagat? I fear a dark day has come upon us. These invaders from the East, they intend to destroy our way of life, to take away from us the land where our great Messiah took the Love and Wisdom of Lord Bhagat Himself. We must go on a great Holy War against these non-believers! We must withstand to show our love to Bhagat and his messenger! We cannot falter! We cannot allow our lands to be taken from us! For what wraith would Lord Bhagat rain should we fail to protect his holy mountain? I never wish to know?. Let us fight! Let us protect our land! Our Temple!? The Great Proclamation [i][b] High Khan Rahji, Cleric of the Temple of Govinda of Blackthorn [/b][/i] [center]-------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] ?It would be a war of unfathomable death. It went by many names, however one seems appropriate. The War of the Two Mountains. The Holy Mountain? and the Mountain of Lost Souls which accumulated during the war?. Many believed this place to be a great blessing from their God. However, if anything could be said of the war, God had nothing to do with it?.? Maxim Coleclass [b][i] Professor of Culture Studies and History, the University of Fuchsia City [/b][/i] In a time long past in the world of Pokémon, a great war was waged between the lands Johto and Kanto. The two lands, locked in a struggle of religious grounds, have become mortal enemies. Much blood has been spilt and much more shall be. The greatest weapons of each nation are their native Pokémon, whom they each have grown to master the use of in war and battle. The Pokémon Regimens of each land are feared and respected world wide, and in this war, it was proven why. Charging on the Crusade, Kanto intended to both take back the holy mountain, and decimate the followers of the Temple of Govinda. With this, Kanto would have also took hold of a large portion of the world as an empire and have all the wealth accumulated by Johto. Rulers of Kanto use the guise of religious war with the support of their theistic leaders. Meanwhile, The High Clerics of the Govinda Temple had no interest in allowing the sharing of their currently owned holy land, and refuse to let it be invaded by any foreign land. They refused to allow religious temples of other than those of Govinda to be built and exiled all worshipers of different religions. And so the blood feud was sealed in history, it was only in the past few hundred years that the two lands have found peace with one another. But it is still said that the natives of each land hold an ingrained animosity over the horrors committed during this Great War?. The War of the Two Mountains?. In the time of this war, Pokéballs and other Pokémon-related technology are not yet invented. And so the old Pokémon trainers had to focus on a limited amount of Pokémon to make their companions and to train. This resulted in not only strong, long lasting, and personal relationships, but also extremely powerful Pokémon. Tested in battles against occasionally over one-thousand enemies, both human and Pokémon, these creatures became exceptionally strong in power. Many believe that during modern days, such Pokémon no longer exist. In the armies of most kingdoms, there was a small group of warriors known as the Monster Regimens. These specialized warriors would go into battle now only with weapons of their own, but their Pokémon by their side. The Pokémon that they trained personally. These warrior pairs were highly effective and highly feared in battle due to their prowess and skill. This is the story of the many brave soldiers who gave their lives in a cause that, while corrupt, they believed in deeply. The Beast Warriors, the Monster Regimens. The tale of how these great warriors pioneered Pokémon training and battle in a time of terrible holy wars and blood shed. [b]This is their tale.[/b][/size] [center]--------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] [color=darkred] [b][u][i]The Rules?.[/b][/u][/i] [size=1] Now let?s explain what this all means. A war is being raged long ago in the past between the countries of Johto and Kanto in the Pokémon universe. The style of this RPG should be matched with Crusades era Europe and Palestine, however the Palestinian can and will be much more similar to Europe. The conflict is the same as the first Crusades for Jerusalem, however now the place is a mountain holy two both religions of the areas. Pokémon will be used, but to a much more realistic effect. A Charizard can burn a man alive. A Raichu can kill an man (or another Pokémon) with a lightning bolt. A Scyther will decapitate someone or thing. This is all taken seriously now. Humans can kill Pokémon just as Pokémon can kill humans. Pokémon are also allowed to be slightly larger than standard canon. Such as an eight-foot tall Charizard or a Elephant-sized Phanty. Simply, the Pokémon are taken as real creatures of fantasy. The rules of this RPG are as follows. There will be four spots open not including myself and the other Pokémon Regimen captain, Jokopoko. You will either be on the side of Johto or Kanto. No rogue characters. You will be under the command of either myself from Kanto or Jokopoko from Johto. You will play a warrior from the Pokémon Regimen, who has a Pokémon they have trained for many years to fight with. You?ll only have ONE Pokémon, and that Pokémon will have to be from the native country you reign from. So if you live in Kanto, you can only use the original 150 Pokémon. No Mew, Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres. If you are from Johto you will be using the new Pokémon introduced in Gold/Silver versions of the video game. Again, no legendary or one of a kind Pokémon. Me and Joko will be using two Pokémon apiece, due to the fact that we are Captains. Everyone else, it will be just one. This Pokémon you choose, however, can basically be as powerful as you wish before the point of God-modding. Be creative, have fun, and enjoy it. Your Pokémon should have it?s own name, not just it?s species name. It can, and should, have some distinct appearance, such as battle armor, or defining features. Like I said, I?d like this to be realistic. There will be two sides to this war with three player characters on each. During the first round of posts, you will post introduction posts. After that, I will post an official ?Chapter?. During this chapter, it will be specified which side will post exclusively. So if it is a Kanto chapter, only Kanto players post. If it is a Johto chapter, then only Johto characters will post. After a Kanto post and a Johto post, a judge will be brought in to decide who won the round. Rounds will last three days, and after the three days are up, all posting for that side is done and then the next side goes. A round consists of two chapters, and this will decide who is winning the war. The judge will be neutral and named at a later date. Scores will be kept public in the Underground. All thoughts, questions, and etc. should be handled there. One more thing. This RPG takes place in old times, so language and speech should be taken as such, as should courtesy and ethics. Try to make it convincing. Remember, this is a holy war, so your character?s motivations should have that in mind.

From the back of his great fire dragon, Captain Lancaster looked upon his fellow countrymen through aged green eyes. They marched their way towards the great mountain for a battle of which they?ve never seen a land far away from their fiefdoms and farms. The narrow broad sword he carry clank lightly against the custom saddle on the back of his Charizard, Fothio. Both master and beast wore a fine, yet thin armor made from special steels from Mt. Moon, colored of gold and crimson, the marks of the Lancaster clan. Captain Lancaster was a rather tall man, above average, however so was Fothio. Running his hand against the short stub on his defined jaw line, he ran his hand up and through his lengthy gray-brown hair before looking behind him upon his other faithful companion. Ohmed, an Electabuzz of great stature and power. He wore little armor, which was made of a light leather and bead combination, also of gold and crimson. Bartholomew and Ohmed had fought alongside one another for many years and had a deep partnership. He nodded to his silent friend and was answered with the same gesture. Looking back in front of himself, he lay a hand on the neck of his flying steed. At the height he flew, he could see in the far distance a small spec on the horizon. A great mountain, their destination. A place that would surely be the sight of much strife. Bartholomew gave a deep sigh as he pat Fothio gently. Ohmed, sensing his masters displeasure, lay a firm hand on his shoulder. Bartholomew looked back at him once again, looking into the creatures strong eyes. It gave out a short, grizzly grunt to be responded to. Bartholomew simply nodded with a smile, and once again looked forward towards his destination. He prayed to God that nothing tragic should befall his companions, his friends? [b]OOC:[/b] Not a great example, but gimme a break? I?ve been writing a lot here? Heh. Joko should be next with his sign up shortly. Feel free to begin posting.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] [i]The battle had indeed been glorious for the warriors of Enshian, despite the cowardly ploys used by our enemies from the sand. Amongst our warriors, one mighty man stood apart decimating the opposite side with not but his rope-tied hands. The Tiger God King was truly an honor to watch in action as he massacred our foes. However, in the distance I lay my eyes upon a fast approaching Matsya soldier. His appearance was quite distinct from those of his country men. Tattoos and ink adorned his body and a unique weapon accompanied his already unorthodox appearance. I sensed this foreign man?s power, and I readied myself to view quite the clash?[/i] Pra Chau threw both of his elbows into the chests of a pair of warriors, shattering their armor and rib cages on contact. Looking in front of him, he could see a man wading through bodies steadily, corpses spilling through the air like a boat cutting through water. Chau licked his fang-like teeth in anticipation and cut into a fast sprint. With a running start, Chau leapt into the air elegantly and called out angrily. Dropping down from the air onto his opponent, the tattooed warrior brought up his guard as Chau thrust his stone-hard knee into the man?s foreign weapon. Chau bounced off the man?s guard and landed hard onto his feet as the other warrior slid backwards in a strong stance, the Earth softening beneath the force of the push. [b] ?Fight me, warrior!?[/b] the dark-skinned warrior spoke hastily in his native language. Chau simply grinned excitedly and ran forward towards his opponent, hands and arms extended as if he were going to swallow the man within them. The foreign warrior answered with his own charge, double-bladed weapon to his side, ready to swing out and attack. The auras of the two fighters could be seen expanding off of them in the form of heated red glows. Chau unleashed a beastly growl in his advance which was replied to by his opponent?s foreign battle cry. The two met quickly, the Matsya warrior swinging first, but dodged low by Chau who then rolled off to the side and struck out with a sweep kick, that was similarly missed as the Matsya fighter leapt above the attack. Switching to a stabbing attack, the Matsya fighter went to fall upon Chau who had bent upon his back and neck, thrusting his extended leg into the warrior?s stomach. Releasing a grunt of damage, he flew many feet into the air, doing a short flip before regaining his composure. Chau looked up, ready for his prey to return. However, the Matsya warrior had other plans. Twisting his blade at ungodly speeds during his descent, great winds accumulated around his weapon before he launched it downards at Chau. Pra?s eyes widened as he watched the gale covered blade swiftly approach him. Leaning back quickly, he fell into a back hand spring and backflipped narrowly out of harms way as the weapon landed harshly into the ground, gale winds flinging all of the warriors surrounding the area of attack. Shortly after, the Matsya fighter fell upon his ground of attack and ripped his weapon up from the ground, and quickly pursuing Pra Chau once again. Awaiting his opponent, Chau was greeted by a flashing blade across the bridge of his nose, causing a small gash to open beneath his eyes, blood tipping the blade. The Matsya fighter didn?t skip a beat, sweeping once again, this time attempting a cut slash. Chau cleverly dodged however, leaning back, curving his spine downward as the blade passed him harmlessly over his navel. Coming back up immediately, Chau threw his elbows into Matsya man?s forehead, causing him to stagger back a few paces before being caught once again by a knee into his chest. Chau had entered a state of battle rage, but he wouldn?t be left unanswered, the man coming across Chau?s face with a heavy fist. Chau bent to his side harshly, but came back across angrily with his own right hand across the man?s face, causing a similar reaction from him. Then he answered exactly the same way, and the two came pummeled one another?s face for several seconds, before a single warrior came over to stab Chau in his back. However, Chau sensed his killing intent and leapt to the side, the blade plunging into the right shoulder of the Matsya fighter. The fierce warrior snarled at his countryman and ripped the blade from his body, back fisting the foolish peon into death as he flew into a mound of other fighting soldiers. The wound gushed with blood. While it was not life threatening, the Matsya fighter was obviously slightly impaired. Chau snarled at him for a moment, frowning in dissatisfaction. Looking to the wound, Chau nodded once, and then flung his head to the side. [b] ?Tend to your wound, warrior? victory on an injured man would mean nothing?.?[/b] Looking into his eyes, the foreign fighter seemed to understand, however unhappy this may have made him. Both men had inferno?s coming from their eyes and kept watching one another as both stepped back into retreat. They knew they would once again meet again, they had to, for both had found a worthy opponent. It was just a matter of time before the greatest fight ever seen would happen, had it not happened this day? [b]OOC:[/b] sorry for the unforgivable shortness, but I gotta go to the mall soon, peace out.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] The Boss sat a side of himself, alone next to a shadow bathed corner. He look to the floor beneath him with a deep sorrow and despair. [i]How?[/i] he thought to himsefl. [i]How could I have been so foolish? So naive? I trusted him so deeply, he was my friend... my mentor. He recruited me to be a terrorist... had it all been a ploy? What am I supposed to think.[/i] Boss cracked his knuckles loudly, his sorrow transfering to anger. [i]How dare he? How dare he make a fool of me? He intended to have me killed from the start had I been a CTU agent... he intended to rat me out when he knew I had no other way of knowing the better.... He shall pay, the rat.[/i] [b] "Indeed, he'll pay dearly...."[/b] he muttered to himself in a bone chilling voice. [/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] [b][u]Method 9:[/b][/u] Be H-O-T, Attractive. One of the oldest ways of being liked from the get go. Be good looking. It's not that complicated, and while tastes may differ, usually SOMEONE's going to like you for what your Mama gave ya. Sometimes it's unanimous, other times it's a small crowd of admirers. Hopefully it's the former for you. Just don't be shy, and it should work... oh, and don't be a liar. No body likes an identity theft.

[color=darkred][size=1] Well atleast I thought I made a difference.... oh well. It was a beautiful lie while it lasted.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] Well apparently you are Irish and love yourself for it. Same for your signature. And your title says to me that you must enjoy floating on water or something, or just being on the water and using it in a humorous way. Too easy, m'am.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] It'd be interesting for my and your character to meet up in battle, alá Hector and Achilles (I call Achilles), and we have an ongoing, hated yet respected enemy-rivalry going on. That would be interesting. Have our armies fight to a draw in some epic battle and we'll more than likely end up fighting each other (or you can post that if you wish). Do what you will.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE=Sara] [color=#b0000b]Haha, yeah. That's just a great feeling. I love it when I've found something to [i]really[/i] be excited about in a story. What do you think is the best way to get that kind of intensity? Is it something that should be planned by the creator beforehand, or should all the players collectively make it up and build toward it as the story progresses?[/color][/QUOTE] [color=darkred][size=1] To have a concept that makes me excited personally, it'd have to do something new and original, something undone before that really freshens up things in style and story. I remember a less successful RP, [b]Hybrid Vigor[/b], which despite it's failing, had me very excited to be a part of it. Usually, I can tell when an RPG is new and original when I am enjoying writing the actual sign up process as much as I am posting in the actual RP. It helps to create that feeling of enjoyment and excitement when someone uses deep originality in either they story line it's self (alá [b]Hybrid Vigor[/b]) or has originality in the way the story is told (the still premature [b]Bounty[/b] series by myself and DW). In recent times, I've tried to keep those factors in mind in creating a new RP. I guess those are key.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] [b] "Crap! Someone's gotta clean all that splooge up... Where the hell's Prem.... oh wait..."[/b] The Boss' frustration left him as he looked onto the stranger. [b] "Your name, brother?"[/b] [b] "Call me, Zidargh. Possessor of the Man Sauce."[/b] he proclaimed proudly. Looking down at the mess on the floor, Boss nodded. [b] "I can see... Well, regardless. Whilst you clean up your.... juices, I'll explain. We're in the midst of getting out a mole amongst us."[/b] [b] "Jeez... I need a mop... sorry, what?"[/b] [b] "Nevermind... Everyone, please introduce yourselves so we can continue business."[/b] The Boss looked on to his fellow terrorists.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] [b] "Well, you're points on I'm Not Nomura only supports my thoughts of him as a more confirmed suspect. Raiha troubles me, but I think Raiha is far too immoral to be a CTU Agent. She dislikes order and rules too much. Nomura however, is dicey to me... I think I'll settle my vote on Nomura."[/b] With that, The Boss sat his hand down on the table in front of him and awaited response from his allies.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] Here's my newest attempt at a wallpaper. I think the artistic message is clear. Please leave comments: [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/PWNED111.jpg[/img][/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] [b]Raiha[/b] is number 1. [b]I'm Not Nomura[/b] is number 2. [b]Gavin[/b] is number 3. I don't think [b]Gavin[/b] has been active enough to be an effective traitor. Also, he basically recruited the greatest member we have, me. And he said that if I got taken by CTU to be a mole for the terrorists. I doubt it's Gav, for he is no traitor. He's an honorable man. [b]I'm Not Nomura[/b] seems as if it's possible that he has been TRYING not to come off as a traitor. Going the extra mile to look unsuspicious. It's possible, but it might not be... Just an observation. [b]Raiha[/b], in all reality, could be a terrorist. While I may be wrong, and I do love her so, it's possible that she has fooled us all.... I dunno. I don't wish it to be, but it's possible she has been a very good CTU mole. Or not. So in conclusion, I eliminate [b]Gavin[/b] as a possible suspect. That leaves [b]Nomura[/b] and [b]Raiha[/b]. While I WANT it to be [b]Nomura[/b] (no offense), it's more than likely that the evil mastermind herself, [b]Raiha[/b] is... I dunno I want it to be [b]Nomura[/b], but it'd most likely be [b]Raiha[/b]. Draw you're own conclusion from that. I go with the majority vote from those two choices.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] I'll still rock that [b]Dragonball Z[/b] from time to time if I want a bunch of bad humor and bloody, bloody fight scenes. Particularly The Android - Cell Sagas. Classic. Farther back than that, I gotta give it all up to the [b]Thunder.... THUNDER.... THUNDERCATS![/b] HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! All about the Lion-o, sucka. O.G. style, for real. And the news about the live action movie gave me a bit of a nerd-gasm. Gonna be great. [/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] Well, Enshian is to the west and Matsya is to the south, so really, now. All countries are connected at some point, so border crossing is the only thing you really gotta worry about. Also, I'm thinking I'm gonna steal some of your prose and how you use the whole battle log style. I used that in my whole sign up Legend, so I might use it for battle chapters. That is, if you don't mind slight plagerism.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] The Boss stepped slowly into the populated gathering area of the Terrorist headquarters, his gait threatening and strong. He stopped in the middle of the floor and looked into the eyes of all his comrades, and one dirty, stinking, filthy, soon to be dead, traitor. [b] "My friends, my brothers and sisters... the glorious day is upon us when we shall finally unmask this rotten mole."[/b] Looking from side to side, he then tensed his face and grew into a scowl. [b] "If you'll look at our current Desktop target, you will see just what fate awaits the OBCTU PIG AMONGST US! Fear your death, ingrate... for it is inevitable..."[/b] With that and a final nod, The Boss sunk back into the shadows, awaiting the moment to strike.[/color][/size]

In the West, Enshian with it?s many warlords and their mighty generals. Northward, the kingdom of Silla, homeland of the elite Hwarang warriors-officers. To the south, the massive desert-land of Matsya holds mighty forces and the power of the beasts that inhabit their land. These four great kingdoms, each with their own heroes and champions, are currently locked in deep blood feuds with one another, and have been for many life times. Each with their own motivations, they all believe that they are backed by their own patron deity to achieve victory and gain glorious renown. Each land has it?s own distinct culture, language, and religious base. As well, each land thinks all others to be completely alien. Few understand the many languages universally, and diplomacy is rare, if not absent completely. Due to lack of diplomatic capability or capacity, the universal language of Shijie has become warfare and bloodshed. The clash of swords has replaced words, the four nations battle one another endlessly using everything from common foot soldiers to magically-endowed spell warriors. Calling upon other-worldly forces to aid themselves in battle, each skirmish sees thousands of deaths. An unfathomable number of souls have been lost on the frontlines and oceans of blood have been spilt in the name of dominance. Despite this, the battles have become common things in the world, news of death being a daily fact; no one is fazed by the magnitude of loss. Each society has progressed in other fields other than warfare, each having a great population and large amounts of their own land, war is often far away from many citizens, the battles happening mostly on the borders of the nations. Life carries on while blood flows like rivers. The heroes of the era being the mighty warriors and officers who bring victory to the capitals, they have achieved a celebrity status amongst the people, and allow for unconsidered support towards the battle efforts. The dream of every child is to somehow become a great ?hero? for their nation. It has become glorified, and each land helps in the glorification. Heroes are celebrated, cowards are the flotsam of society and a death serving the nation is the greatest honor any one could even dream of. And so the war rages on, as these great fighters make their marks in history and in legend. [center]---------------------------------------------------[/center] [color=darkred] Pra Chau Sua alone walked steadily through out the gilded halls of the Enshian Imperial Palace? He had recently returned from a bloody victory over the invading warriors of Tsuchi. He made short work of their front line, and opened up a defensive stand-off point which allowed the main forces to finish the battle with ease. He would have gladly stayed to continue the wanton slaughter of the remaining warriors, however he received message from his employers of the Enshian Empire. He made his way back to the Palace immediately, nearly out of outrage. The smell of sweat and blood still coated him? Jewels of all different colors, gold and silver, decorated the walls and doors. In the distance, Chau could see his destination. A large balcony at the edge of the hall, looking out on the star lit city below the palace, several high-ranking officers and warriors stood around one another speaking quietly. They could feel the oncoming, powerful aura of The Tiger God King. Tracing their glances together after hearing his footsteps approach, the group of nobility watched the ruffian-warriors approach. The first two men to meet eyes with Chau were General Tso and Lieutenant Ping, two mighty warriors of the old school who were talented on and off horse back. The other two were women. Lady Shai Guan, a high mystic and a talented war-fighter in her own right, and her often time accomplice, the White Lotus. Stepping up to the four warlords, the two men bowed to Chau who simply snarled slightly and looked down towards them from over his cheek bones. Lady Guan and The Lotus both bowed slightly as well, causing Chau to give a respectful nod to the ladies. [b] ?Master Chau??[/b] spoke the delicate Lady Guan, [b] ?What brings us the pleasure of this visit??[/b] [b] ?Heh? I was called here by your messengers? so let?s get on with it.?[/b][/color] [b]OOC:[/b] Sorry for the terrible length of this post, my creative energy is shot and I was forced to do this by Raiha? anyways, she should pick up while my creative juices replenish themselves?[/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] My MP3 player hardly has all my music on it, but here goes what I got... [b]Fragile Lives[/b] by The Offspring One of my best friends, Corbin, turned me onto The Offspring and bought me their Greatest Hits Album for my birthday. I've loved the band and this song ever since. It's so depressing, yet, upbeat. [b]Dying To Live[/b] by The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur A great song, also from my friend Corbin. I'd liked the song before I got the CD from him, but the more I listened to it, the more I grew to like it's message and Tupac's rhyme scheme. [b]Go Crazy[/b] by Young Jeezy, Jay-Z, and Fat Joe I'd heard this song on the radio and went NUTS after I heard Jay-Z's part. "I'm a hustler's hope, I'm not his pipe dreams/ So when he speaks of success, I'm what he might mean/" WHAT? I'm not a huge fan of Jeezy, but this is definetely one of his better lyrical tracks. And Fat Joe... what more can I say than "CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!" [b]Takeover[/b] by Jay-Z A synth of hard rock guitar and bass creates the beat to the century's greatest battle rap song this side of "300 Bars". In this classic song, possibly my favorite Jay-Z song, Hova takes out all his enemies at the time, including his then rivals Nas and Mobb Deep. [b]Tell Me When To Go Remix[/b] by E-40, Kanye West, and Ice Cube Do to the lack of Keak The Sneak, I actually like the original version more. However, the lyrics added by Kanye and Cube are great regardless. A great Hyphy song. [b]Southern Takeover[/b] by Chamillionaire, Killer Mike, and Pastor Troy My good friend Edward turned me onto Chamillionaire, and he hasn't fallen from my top list since. This super-gangsta song about the South's rise to fame is highly violent, and oh-so beautiful. [b]That Surp[/b] by Three 6 Mafia and Lil' Flip Flipparachi's Houston-style influences Three 6 in one of their first Screwed and Chopped songs. A drug-laden adventure through Codine-laced Sprite drinks and Robitussen binges, it makes you feel about as high as the people who made the song. [b]Let's Start A Riot[/b] by Three 6 Mafia A great song to run around and punch cops to. Seriously, that's all music really needs to be. [b]Sittin' Sidewayz[/b] by Paul Wall and Big Pokey The first song where I realized that Paul Wall isn't just a gimmick of Mike Jones'. It took me some time to find out that the Iceman has been rapping for nearly twice as long as young Mr. Jones, and with one of my newly found favs, King Koopa himself, Chamillionaire. Big Pokey, I could do without, but still a great car cranker. [b]In The Trunk[/b] by Chamillionaire Probably my favorite Chamillionaire song, such a great battle song and show of his great lyrical style. "Gauge Gonna Get Sprayed Like It's Raid When You See My App-Roach". You can't get no better... [b]Frontin'[/b] by Chamillionaire Even better Screwed and Chopped, this song has the Color Changin' Lizard describing just how much he dislikes people who aren't really real. [b]Beast and the Harlot[/b] by Avenged Sevenfold Definetly my favorite song by them. I was turned onto A7X by my buddy Bo. To this day, they are one of my favorite bands, and definetly the greatest Hard-Rock Metal I've heard in a long time. Zacky Vengeance and Synster Gates play unmatched guitar, and the solos are just... amazing. Do yourself a favor, listen. It'll turn you into a satanist. [b]Public Service Announcement[/b] by Jay-Z A little cut-away free style by Jay in the Black Album, it played as a cut-away sign off for the "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" video. An amazing freestyle, me and my bud Matt sung it for years after it's release and still remember all the words out of no where. [b]My Name Is MC[/b] by MC Chris With a beat jacked DIRECTLY from the White Stripes song "Steady As She Goes", Chris makes it work and creates a great lyrical rap over the rock 'n' roll beat. I love it for all that it is. Also, Jack White sings on the hook. Gotta love it. [b]Void In My Life[/b] by Chamillionaire By far the MOST heartfelt rap performance ever, ever, ever done. The song goes along Koopa's struggle to choose his religion in the face of his parent's divorce, his father a Muslim and his mother a Christian, you can see the conflict of interest. He sings, beautifully, on the hook, and the beat itself is enough to bring a tear to your eye. Such a GREAT song, classic.[/color][/size]
