Zen

[center][size=1][color=navy] Based in [b]Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto[/b] Universe. Two highly skilled Shinobi find themselves star crossed in destiny, and must engage one another in the most beautiful dance of one on one combat. Fate decides that only one will be leaving standing, and possibly alive. Both are seeking victory in the name of honor, as they meet one another with in a quite mountain side forest, where unforgiving rocky terrain meets lush vegetation and life. --------------------------------------------------[/center] The mountain side forests of Konohagakure was bathed in the darkness of night. Within the cover of the heavy forestry, two trained warriors, shinobi, played a fast paced game of cat and mouse. Two dark figures dashes amongst the tree tops, blurs of motion to the untrained eye. A speeding green flash chased after it?s prey with inhuman speed. This green flash was none other than the Lotus of Konoha, the Green Beast, Rock Lee. Lee leaped from tree branch to tree branch in pursuit of his opponent. The night disabled his vision and rendered his view of the prey to a moonlit shadow. However, Lee was no person to be outrun. He quickly picked up the pace and sped across the branches of the treetops. Leaves and wood chips rained to the ground as Lee gained on his opponent. After not to long, Lee could make out a distinct orange silhouette. Gritting his teeth, Lee dug down deep and launched his body full speed at the opponent, knocking into him with his shoulder. Lee and his opponent flew to the ground off balance, landing with a loud [b]*thud*[/b] and a cloud of dust and grass. Lee groaned, attempting to rub out the pain on the back of his skull as he rose from the ground to see the rival shinobi doing similarly. As his vision cleared up, Lee realized his opponent to be a familiar face. [b] ?..... Uzumaki?! What are you doing?!?[/b] Lee replied angrily. Naruto looked to him with a scared face....

[color=dimgray][size=1] Upon pressing the large white panel, a slightly stuffy female voice came over an intercom and instructed Miguel of how to locate the ballroom. With that, the door lock clicked and opened slightly. Miguel looked to it and rose his eyebrow in question. Stepping over to the door, he touched it lightly with his fingers. Giving a final look back to the strange clothes on the bed, Miguel smirked and slowly pressed on the door. The hinges gave an irritating squeak as the door edged open. Miguel gave a peak out the door as he stepped out. Looking down towards the direction he was told of first. The corridor was in similar style to his room, decorated in fine art and fancy architecture. He then looked back down the corridor to see two finely dressed individuals stepping down the hall way together. A man and a woman, seemingly a couple. The two gave Miguel a strange look as they continued towards him. The man, appareled in a normal looking full-white tuxedo, separated himself from the woman, who seemed young and attractive, albeit strange in her unique dress. Miguel was edgy, but the foreign man?s demeanor wasn?t hostile. [b] ?Hello.?[/b] he spoke in a fine baritone and in an unfamiliar accent. He stuck out his hand to shake with Miguel, who removed his right hand from the handle of the letter opener in his back pocket and shook with the man. [b] ?My name is Bellerophon. You seemed to be just as confused as I am....?[/b] he said with a smile. The man was slightly younger than Miguel, but they were similar in stature. Miguel gave him a look from head to toe and noticed his fine suit, created of the same material as that old woman, Anne. [b] ?I wouldn?t be able to tell by looking at ya...?[/b] Miguel joked with the man. Bellerephon gave him a sense of trust with his personality. [b] ?My name is Miguel... and ugh, excuse my frankness but where the hell am I and why am I here??[/b] [b] ?Your guess is as good as mine...?[/b] Bellerophon replied with a sigh, giving a look back to the woman who had approached closer. [b] ?This is Liane. I met up with her not to long ago.?[/b] he gestured towards her. [b] ?Pleased to meet you, monsieur...?[/b] Liane said with a smooth, cultured voice. Her appearance and demeanor were highly unfamiliar to Miguel, who gave her an interested look. She took out her hand, which Miguel grasped at the finger with both hands and gave a nod. [b] ?Good to meet you aswell. I?m Miguel. Miguel Del Rios...?[/b] Miguel replied, exemplifying his last name with an accent. Then releasing her hand, he went back into his former mood. [b] ?I take it you don?t have much of a clue either??[/b] he attempted to place his words in the kindest way he could for the woman, whom by a better look, seemed to be about his age. [b] ?I?m sorry, but I have not...?[/b] she replied hesitantly. She rose an eyebrow to Miguel?s general demeanor, which was obviously a bit gruff. Miguel began feeling a tad regretful about not changing his clothes, but that hardly mattered at this time. With a sigh, Miguel then gave another look to Bellerophon. [b]?Alright then, Bel... Belle... Be...?[/b] [b] ?Bel-le-ro-phon....? [/b] [b] ?Right. Heh.?[/b] Miguel smirked uncomfortably. [b] ?I think we should try and find this Chancellor guy. Off to the ballroom I suppose?? [/b] Bellerophon and Liane gave a nod and the three started off down the long corridor. As they walked, Miguel payed close attention to his surroundings, noticing the art collected around them. Several paintings and busts, all of which seemed to feature the great French Emperor and General, Napoleon Bonaparte. There seemed to be a bit of an elitist feel to it. It became apparent to Miguel that Bonaparte was an important figure to the Chancellor. Miguel began to lose doubt of where he was. Maybe this really was Paris2.... ************ As they group continued down the corridor, they came to a large doorway. It seemed to be made of a form of hardwood, decorated with a similar marble which decorated the letter opener in Miguel?s pocket. A dim light shined through the crevices in the door. [b] ?Here we are...?[/b] Bellerophon chimed. [b] ?It would seem so...?[/b] Liane replied. [b] ?Alright then.... Let?s see what we got.?[/b] Miguel huffed out as he pushed on the heavy door, slowly opening it. The door?s hinges groaned as he pushed. Bellerophon joined in and pushed on the other large door. When the door was finally opened, Liane stood mesmerized by grandeur. [b] ?Amazing...?[/b] she whispered to herself. Bellerophon and Miguel looked out aswell and were amazed. The ballroom was monolithic in it?s size. The sheer span of the room intimidated the group. It was constructed what seemed to be a single, massive piece of white marble. Enormous rafters and pillars were beautifully carved. The floor was polished finely with a bright sheen. Statues of what seemed to be the Supreme Chancellor guarded the massive doorway. On the other side of the large room appeared to be a high pulpit. Possibly where the Chancellor would reveal himself. Miguel took the first step into the room and looked around. [b] ?Wow... this is... this is something...?[/b] he laughed to himself as his words echoed through the room. He then looked back down towards Liane and Bellerophon. He put confused look on his face. Looking back into the massive room, he asked [b] ?Do ya think there?ll be more people??[/b] [center]------------------------------------------------[/center] [b]OOC:[/b] I hope this was alright. I wanted to have a small group enter the Ballroom, so I took the first people in the corridor. Do tell if I made any mistakes in the description of the hallways or the ballroom. Maybe Napoleon Bonaparte is something to be added to the Artifacts or Revelations later on. Hm.....? [/color][/size]

[QUOTE=James][font=franklin gothic medium]The ball will probably go for a while before you hear anything from [b]him[/b].... [/font][/QUOTE] [color=navy][size=1] I suppose that answers that question. Heh. If not one else does, I suppose I'll give the first description of the Ballroom.[/color][/size]

[size=1] Dark looked down upon his unknowing prey from the rafters of the shoddy bar, his finger on the trigger of his trusty semi-automatic Levlon 4-60. With his free hand, he reached into his cloak to reveal a circular grenade, which he dropped from the rafter and onto the bar in front of Bones. It landed with a heavy [b]*clunk*[/b] which alerted Bones and the other attendants of the bar. All of them including Bones hit the ground with urgency as the small explosive detonated, sending splinters of wood and metal every which way. Dark smiled to himself as he watched the bar customers scramble in confusion. He noticed Bones trying to rise from the ground to which he had fallen and took his chance to attack, dropping from the rafter onto bones with his Levlon firing off a three shot burst. Bones quickly rolled to the side and hopped to his feet, shooting his own firearm at Dark, whom leaped over the long bar stand for cover. The harsh smell of exposed and leaking alcohol caused Dark?s eyes to water. He also noticed the slippery floor due to the broken glass and spilt liquor. He took noticed and stuck his Levlon up and over the bar stand and began firing blindly into the bar, hoping to keep Bones at a distance. He was answered by a deafening barrage of bullets, which sent more broken glass flying at Dark. Dark growled in anger and tossed his Levlon to the right for a distraction as he quickly drew a Red-140 Shotgun from his cloak and started sprinting along side the bar. Catching Bones taking cover behind an upturned circular table, he began firing madly at him, causing pieces of the table flying and breaking the glass windows of the facility. The bar patrons began edging towards the door and exiting in a panic. That meant less collateral damage for Dark, who continued strafing down the bar and pumping out heavy lead in Bones? direction. The end of the bar came soon, and with that, he ended his firing. Bones took a peak over the broken edge of the table only to be met by Dark?s shotgun thrown forcefully across the length of the Bar at him. [b] ?Shit!?[/b] Bones hollered as he quickly ducked back down as the weapon slammed into the wall. Cocking his gun, Bones turned back up to Dark. With that, Dark began charging at Bones with two automatic pistols blasting.... ---------------------------------------- [b]OOC:[/b] Fun fun fun![/size]

[color=navy][size=1] [B]Tical[/b] Suppose you read the more recent replies before jumping to conclusions. Firstly, the way you put things makes me want to say things that I'm sure I'd regret. We're not a behind the scenes political group. We are just a couple of like minded people talking about our own opinions. We are all aware that the OBs are just a Message Boards when it comes down to it. Albeit, they are THE message boards for me. We're not discriminatting against anybody. Voicing opinions. I'm through with defending this by my self. I appreciate Gavin, JJ, and the others for adding their opinions. For now though, I'll just let James post our PM and I'll continue speaking with him privately as I had originally intended. This really only concerns him and Desbreko anyways. Peace and Love, [b]-The Boss[/b][/color][/size]

[color=navy][size=1] I sent you a response just to clear a few things up I think you misunderstood. If you wish though, I'd be happy to have that posted aslong as you read and reply to my newer message first. I will say this. Viva Otaku was started as a private group whom, along with MAMA, wanted to privately discuss their views and complaints about the current state the OBs are in. Once we all had come to a single, reasonable conclusion, we originally wished to contact James via PM. The signature tags were for MAMA, to promote itself and gain members. As for Viva Otaku, it was so members could identify one another and a way for James to see how many members actually supported our views once they were voiced to him. Short and simple, we got outted when we weren't ready and in a way that neither group head actually preferred. I'm not pointing fingers at Athena, but she is not a member of Viva Otaku or MAMA, atleast to my knowledge. I'm happy that she is supportive to us, but I don't appreciate how she brought our names into it or how she represented us in her post. Things went a wry. Oh well. I'm currently discussing thing with James on behalf of Viva Otaku so that we can get things cleared up. Once he posts the PM, I'm sure things will be a bit more clear and we will receive much less hate from the other members. -[b]The Boss[/b][/color][/size]

[QUOTE=The Boss][color=navy][size=1] It was never the intention of this thread for [b]MAMA[/b], [b]Viva Otaku[/b], or any other group to be revealed, as it was a matter that we had hoped to keep to ourselves for sometime and resolve our issues in a much more subtle manner. [/color][/size][/QUOTE] [color=navy][size=1] We eventually wished to voice our opinions in a more subtle way in the future, as I said before. Possibly and preferably through a PM. Atleast, that was my original wish.[/color][/size]

[color=navy][size=1] Here we are back again talking about the members of MAMA wanting to be Mods, which is completely false. We never wanted that for ourselves. I don't want to be a mod, and I don't want to be completely against the Mods. I'll come out since JJ has. Viva Otaku was my original creation along with AC!D!C . The two groups simply turned out to have similar causes in mind and came together. So then it became Viva Otaku/MAMA. Neither group's members want to become Mods. That's not the intention of our group. I won't waste time typing up the cause of our group, as it has already been stated mutiple times. I just want it to be known we're not trying to be Semi-Mods or become full Mods. I don't know why this has been brought up again. John. Look at Ezekiel's sig again. Four of our member's have posted here, along with me. Maybe it was secret for the fact that we didn't want our issues to become public. Maybe it was because we originally intended for a more subtle and quite approach to our complaints. Maybe AC!D!C and I simply wanted to voice our opinions and not everybody liked them. Alot of people may believe our intentions to be stupid. But our member's obviously agree, and those were the only people originally meant to know of our intentions for those reasons, because not everybody would agree with them. Heh. Things got messed up. Big deal. It isn't going to change the way we feel. And we hold no ill-intentions for anybody, once more. [/color][/size]

[size=1] [b]Name:[/b] Mr. Dark [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] [URL=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/Mr.jpg]Mr. Dark[/URL] [b]Personality:[/b] Dark isn't a loud man. He isn't a charismatic man. In fact, few have ever heard him speak. This gives the feeling that he is a particularly shadey person, which is true. However his competence as a bounty hunter and assassin is impecable. He makes it his personal vendetta when he takes on a mission to accomplish it with precise results. Very punctual when it comes to work, he is the perfect killer. The perfect warrior. A true hunter. [b]Weapons:[/b] Dark carries within his menacing black cloak an array of disposable firearms and weapons. His favorites being all sorts of grenades and spreading close range weapons. These make up for his poor aim, by compensating with extreme speed and an intense battle rage. He is not one to shy away from a one on one fist fight aswell, which is actually his favorite form of combat. It is said he is unbeaten... [b]Skills:[/b] Mr. Dark is impecably, almost inhumanly fast. His speed and agility are his greatest weapons in combat, as is his ability to place himself in a killing mindset which is unstoppable. Many classify his methods as sloppy or unrefined, but his spotless record speaks for itself in effiency. Accompanied by his physical ability, Dark is an amazing martial artist. [b]Any Other Info:[/b] None. Nobody knows a great amount about Mr. Dark, and they shouldn't. [/size] [b]OOC:[/b] Hope this isn't too close to normal, but I don't want to mess up your little universe that has been created.

[QUOTE=Charles] Don't sit on some complaint about your dad walking in on you and decide to spring it on me out of nowhere in a public thread. That's just stupid. If I know it's bothersome to you on that level, of course I'm going to accommodate you.[/QUOTE] [color=navy][size=1] [b]Charles[/b], I kind of feel this was directed towards me. Take note that my computer is in the living room right beside the TV. So it is kind of natural that my dad, whilst watching TV catches a glance of the computer screen just a few feet to the right and sees your avatar, I wouldn't blame him for jumping to conclusions. Also take note that I was simply commenting on what was said by [b]AC!D!C[/b] in his post. I handled my words in a polite way when I said as such, so I don't see why that would warrant this sort of response from you. On another note, I'm glad [b]Desbreko[/b] seems to understand us to a certain degree. I thank you for your calmness in dealing with us. I continue to hold my beliefs and stand on the grounds that I hold no vendetta agains the current mods personally.[/color][/size]

[color=navy][size=1] [b]Gavin[/b] hit the nail on the head. The original intentions of our group were nothing short of just wanting the best for the Boards. I repeat again, I hold no grudge against any Mod or any member. [b]Ozy[/b], I hold no grudge against you at all. You're a great member, RPer, and writer. I was simply commenting on the fact that I don't see you involved with as many RPGs as would be expected of a person that is head of the Arena. I am in no way blaiming you for any lack of quality. I firmly believe that there just needs to be more Staff in the general area for it to be more successful. It was never the intention of this thread for [b]MAMA[/b], [b]Viva Otaku[/b], or any other group to be revealed, as it was a matter that we had hoped to keep to ourselves for sometime and resolve our issues in a much more subtle manner. I understand that many of you may feel that our member's are 'immature' or 'stupid'. Let it be known that we never had ill-inentions. We we're simply concerned with the way some things were going down in the OBs. Never did we mean to attack any individual. But still, I'm sticking to my guns. I am a part of this, so I take any responsibility or penalty for the words that have been said. I hope this doesn't change a thing in any freindship I have made with anyone on the Boards, for this was never a personal vendetta against anybody. Just a voicing of opinions. Nothing more. Peace, [b]The Boss[/b] [b]PS-[/b] This is in no way a 'cry' for me to become a Moderator. I could care less for that position. I find it upsetting other members, including one of our own, misconstrued that meaning. Alot of things have been taken the wrong way, and I suppose nothing will fix that.[/color][/size]

[color=navy][size=1] [b]Note:[/b] I have been a member since 2003 and v6 under a seperate account. I feel that this is the truth. No hate for any of the mods, but the staff for me has been a bit slack as of recent. I don't hold anything against the mods, but the facts are, there are members who are far more qualified and seasoned from the OBs who would be willing to accept a moderation position. The lack of participation by Bio and Ozy in the Arena all together has me a bit concernced, as is the choosing of Mods who are basically new members from the past year and a half. I can name a dozen members off the bat whom I'm sure would do just a good a job, if not better, than some of the staff. I'm not saying that the staff in general is bad, nor do I hold a grudge against any of them. It's simply I find it unfair that some members were passed up for those important positions regardless of their experience and dedication to the Boards. I seriously feel that Lady Katana and Revelation are great mods and should actually be given more responsibility, based on their dedication and involvment on the OBs as a whole. I feel that the selection of mods should be based on these factors. Proven dedication and involvment, and the choosing of mods as of recent doesn't reflect that at all. Some Mods are great, competent and I think they're doing a bang up job. However, else where, I see neglect and a serious lack of involvment. There are several situations where I've seen a need for action to be taken only for it not to come at all. I see some Mods are younger than me, have less posts than me, and have been involved with the OBs for less time than me. Then I turn to see the other members and friends of mine who are leagues above me in these categories and wonder "Why not them?". Certainly they are more qualified, but I fear that it is a case of personal taste in selection rather than a business oriented deal. Again, I bare no grudge against the staff members. I just want to support the other members who are long time patrons to the OBs and yet get denied something I believe they deserve. I hope these statements are not taken wrong from either me or AC!D!C, whom I thank for having the nerve to make this thread. I want the current Staff to understand I have nothing against them, I simply support the long time members whom I have grown to know and trust. I just feel that some of our voices need to be heard. [b]P.S.[/b] - Oh, and yes. Charles' banner doesn't really reflect taste, nor do I think it's appropriate for the younger members of the OBs to have to see. Hell, it almost got me in trouble at one point when my Dad looked over to me on the computer and thought I was looking up porn. Heh. Not a huge deal, but it is bothersome.[/color][/size]

[color=dimgray][size=1] Miguel sat at the end of his bed, shaking his foot impatiently as he read the letter within his shaky hands. [b] ?God damn it....?[/b] he growled under his breath as he finished up reading. He quickly stood, balled up the letter and tossed it to the floor. A slight feeling of fear was creeping into his mind, but he had learned not to panic in situation such as this, where he was not fully aware of his surroundings. He tried his best to shrug it off and get down to the bottom of things, like the proffesional he was. With that, he began scanning the room, surveying his surroundings for something to help himself feel secure. The strange, artistic living space felt unusual and discomforting to him, which caused him to act cautious in his search. He began looking through the drawers of one of the night stands at the side of the bed, finding a gold-bladed letter opener with a fine ivory handle. Miguel gave a gruff laugh to himself as he felt it?s edges with his fingers. Suddenly a soft knocking came to the door of the room, causing him to quickly conceal the letter opener into his back pocket. Standing up, Miguel looked to the door intensely, his hand hovering over the handle of the hidden weapon. Another faint knocking came. Then after a few seconds the door opened at the hands of a stout, yet strange looking old woman, dressed in a boring grey suit. Miguel tensed for a moment, then relaxed as the woman came into the room calmly, a pleasant look upon her face. Her presence, however, didn?t stop Miguel?s assertive mind set. [b] ?Good evening, dear. My name is Anne.?[/b] the woman said with a kind smile and a slight bow. This disarmed Miguel?s hostile mind for a moment. He noticed as the woman?s gaze drifted towards the floor and looked upon the balled up paper on the ground. [b] ?I assume you have read the letter...?[/b] Miguel gained back his anger once he noticed the woman?s nonchalant personality in a situation were he had no clue what was going on. [b] ?One minute... where the hell am I lady??[/b] he growled to her with a forceful tone. [b] ?Hohoho... my dear. You are in Paris2. Where else would you be??[/b] she seemed to laugh at his attempt to be intimidating, something which only fueled Miguel?s hostility. [b] ?How did I get here then? Huh?! Tell Me!?[/b] he yelled to her, his fingers itching to grasp and use the letter opener in his pocket. His military training urging him to take offensive action. [b] ?My dear, I only work for this group, I have no say or clue about their dealings. You shall only have to wait for the Ball tonight...? [/b] she replied to him again in a calm, undisturbed tone. She then drifted over to the closet of the room and removed a sharp grey suit made of a material similar to that of her own dress. She brought it to the bed and laid it down as Miguel simply watched and thought to himself. [b] ?This suit is for you to wear tonight. I do say it is very fitting of you.?[/b] the woman said, eyeing Miguel from head to toe for a moment. Miguel looked her in the eyes and gritted his teeth. [b] ?Whatever... I had better get some answers...?[/b] he said with a scowl. The woman simply gave another soft smile to him. [b] ?From what I understand, you?ll most likely have more.?[/b] she seemed to be laughing to herself inwardly. Miguel gritted his teeth once more as she exited the room. [b] ?Oh, I almost forgot.?[/b] she spoke with her head sticking through the door, [b] ?Once you are prepared, please press the panel.?[/b] she gestured towards the white panel beside the door. [b] ?It shall point you in the right direction. Good day, dear.?[/b] Then she was gone. Miguel gripped his fist in frustration and turned to eyeball the clothes placed out for him. He shook his head in disapproval. He didn?t trust anything about the situation and didn?t feel safe conforming to it. [b] ?Forget that noise...?[/b] he laughed to himself as he made his way for the panel. He stood for a moment in hesitation. Slicking his hair back, he pressed the panel, ready for answers and keeping his hand hovering around his pocket, were he kept his only security. ----------------------------------------------- [b]OOC:[/b] Do hope this is alright. Miguel doesn't feel safe about the clothes and his military training causes him to be paranoid about the situation, so he ascertains some form of makeshift weapon just in case, though I don't plan on using it (unless it is needed...).

[color=navy][size=1] Kitty and Oriel sat alone within one of the many lounging areas of the Xavier Mansion. They both sat upon a leather couch, Kitty flipping through the channels of a LCD television which hung upon the wall. Both were at ease simply relaxing after the former days Danger Room exercises. Both were still in their pajamas, Oriel wrapped in her robe and Kitty wearing a pair of pants and an old shirt. [b]?Is there anything ever on during the day??[/b] Kitty groaned to herself in boredom. Oriel simply sighed with a shrug in response. [color=orange][b] *BAMF!*[/b][/color] Suddenly a poof of golden smoke and a wafting scent of brimstone alerted the two girls and they flew up in alert, Oriel?s wings sprouting on her back and Kitty in a fighting stance, however sloppy it was. They scanned the room to see nothing but the remnants of the golden smoke. [b]?You vill die, tvespasser."[/b] came a familiar German accent from the ceiling. It was Kurt wearing a happy expression, laughing to himself. [b]?Very funny, Kurt...?[/b] Kitty growled, throwing the remote control at him, striking his forehead and causing him to fall from the ceiling onto the floor. Oriel gasped and looked over the couch to see Kurt laying on the ground, rubbing the back of his head. [b]?Guden tag...?[/b] Kurt said still rubbing his head. He hopped onto his feet with a nonchalant athleticism. [b]?How are mein fraus doing on this... *guh*... fine day??[/b] Kurt gave a scared look to Kitty. [b]?You always gotta be such a moron, Kurt??[/b] she replied with a frustrated tone. [b]?Oh come on, Kitty. It vas just a joke...?[/b] Kurt smiled to her. [b]?Listen, you want a replay of yesterday?!?[/b] Kitty hollered back. [b]?Nein.... nein....?[/b] Kurt backed away gesturing with his three-fingered hands. Oriel giggled to herself at their juvenile antics. [b]?I don?t zink I could acht that vell again, anyvays.?[/b] [b]?You dick!?[/b] Kitty yelled, swinging at Kurt with a tightly balled fist. Kurt back flipped and teleported in a fast dodge and was upon the ceiling once again. [b]?No hard veelings, frau. Haha.?[/b] Kurt laughed down from the ceiling. Oriel continued her own laughter while Kitty became even more infuriated... [/color] [b]OOC:[/b] I want to get a reaction from Kitty and Oriel, I?m trying not to do too much with them just yet, but I wanted some character interaction off the bat. The lenght is only due to the fact that I don't want to take too much liberty with other's characters. [/size]

[color=dimgray][size=1] The Otakuboards is the only message boards I visit online. Simply because I cannot find another place that displays my interest as such while also keeping a reasonable quality in how people post. It's a fun place to talk with other people while also providing me a place to practice my writing skills in the Adventure Arena. Now, I've been around since v6 and have seen quite a bit of change since, but the OBs is still the place for me. I've tried other boards when I was temporarily unable to visit the OBs and even became a mod in an OB style RPG area that I suggested to the admins. Then the OBs opened back up for me and I never returned... Funny thing is, I had invited a few of the more intelligent members of that Board to the OBs and they stayed for quite some time. I think it's safe to say that the OBs is the top-teer of online message boards.[/color][/size]

[color=dimgray][size=1] Invading this thread for a moment. I've never watched this show but I've read a bit of the manga. But I think it's awesome that [b][adult swim][/b] is going to be putting it on the air in September. Three cheers.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE=bluemarble] Here's Ichii Shinsuke.. Mmm. GIANT TURTLE! [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/comixink/shinsuketones.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [color=dimgray][size=1] Oh ho ho. I totally gotta claim that. Sorry everybody, but that giant turtle is far too awesome to let slip. [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/BigTurtle.jpg[/IMG] Sorry for the lack of color, but I liked the original black and white. Hope I did you justice. Now for my character: [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/Rage.jpg[/IMG] This guy is a mutant character originally meant for a MARVEL story arc. He's super fast and strong but only for limited amounts of time due to his hyper-active adrenaline system. His body billows steam instead o sweat because of his high body temperature. His camo is black on black, just different shades and he is wearing dog-tags and that is a bar code on his left arm. Also his eyes are red. Have fun and sorry for taking so long. PS- First time I've ever drawn a turtle.[/color][/size]

I guess I'm more of a [b]Mugen[/b] in personality. My hair is [b]Gaara[/b]. My face and body is [b]Mugen.[/b] Is that a good comparison or am I totally off?[/color][/size]

[color=dimgray][size=1] Wow. That's a pretty funny story, actually, [b]Dragonboym2[/b]. Haha. As for me, well. I'm not as shy around girl's as most unless I like them, but have nothing to talk about. But that's just more of an awkward silence thing. I recently came out of a relationship, so I'm back on the market it could be said. I got this one girl's phone number whom I kinda have a thing for. We had quite a bit in common back when school was still in and we talked alot. She had a bit of a problem because everyone in my town is either stupid or just unknowledgable to the outside world. That's where I come in. Funny thing, I kinda got her into manga and what not and though we have different musical tastes, we can still talk about it. So we have alot in common. So I've been calling her lately and we've been talking. I don't know if anything will come of it, but I could imagine going out with her and having a good time. Though it can be said she told me that she'd never date anyone in this town, I'm not sure if that applied to me or not, seeing as how I'm far from anybody in our town personality wise. We're pretty good friends and I'd be perfectly content with staying that way, but I find her attractive and could see myself being with her. I don't know if she feels the same, but maybe things'll work out, maybe they won't. Fate has it's ways. Hm... maybe it wasn't wise for me to say this... I did kind of give her this site to check out... oh well. Haha.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1] [B]Name:[/B] Kratos Zintarian [b]Age:[/b] 28 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Physical Description:[/b] [URL=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/DarthSikal.jpg]Kratos[/URL] Forget the name and lightsabers. But keep the physical appearance and clothing. [b]Character Background:[/b] There seems to be not a single being in or outside the dueling circuit who know?s a thing about Kratos the Killer. It is known that he came onto the dueling scene a little more than a year ago and quickly dominated the sport, all the while never once drawing a distance weapon. His refusal to non-death duels have lead him to become an enigmatic and dark figure, which is also amplified by his antagonistic personality. Due to this, no one has questioned him about his former life, though the scars on his body seem to tell a violent story... [b]Personality Profile:[/b] Kratos is a charismatic, yet highly ruthless man. He possesses a blood lust which is near impossible to sate, however his talents as a warrior push aside this killer personality and make him popular with spectators of the Dueling arena. Along with a deep blood lust, Kratos is a lover of women, particularly twi'lek's and humans. It can be said that he leads a life of debauchery, and nothing could be closer to the truth. Kratos is unapologetically selfish. [b]Profession:[/b] Duelist (strictly to the death.) [b]Specialist Skill:[/b] An excellent melee weapon user. Also, highly charismatic, he is a talented persuader of people. [b]Preferred Weapon:[/b] A user of duel vibroblades which are said to be magical because of his skill with them. The blades are decorated with strange carvings which are also tattooed on his back. [/color][/size]

[color=dimgray][size=1] I've already 'shacked up' with a girl in the sense that my ex once spent the night at my house and I did the same at hers twice. I went with her to her uncle's house twice, and she came with my family to a resort thing once for two days. We did a bit more than cuddle it could be said, so it would be apparent I don't have a problem with it. Heh. Granted with our parents, our 'sleep overs' were more of a means where one of us would have a place to stay for the night if we were going to be together that day and be out late at a certain location. I don't mean to sound like a man-whore or anything, but you have to think about it. One, what if your homosexual and that is illegal? What you would be doing would be considered 'shaking up' to the uneducated masses. What if you don't believe in marriage in a conventional sense? The same would be said. I mean, if your mature enough to actually live with another person or understand what you're doing, then I don't see why it would be 'unacceptable' to anybody and it shouldn't be. And hell.... I'm 16 and saying this. But it should also be said that one should be sure they have a deep commitment with their partner if their going to be moving in together, because it would be an awkward situation when you break up and don't have a place to be away from that person. So. I guess it's all in the individual and their partner.[/color][/size]

[color=dimgray][size=1] Just a note [B]Delta[/B], Neon Genesis Evangelion has alot of meaning in it's name. Ya just gotta know what it is. :animesmil Too complex to be as-splained here. My suggestion. Well, first, it'd be a good idea to provide just what the story is about. And if you don't want to reveal that, then just go for something that sounds cool to you, then test it on other people and see if they find it interesting. As much as one shouldn't, they do judge a book by it's cover, and the title is on the cover. [b]Jack's Totally Rad Adventure[/b] would definetly grab my attention before [b]Technical Manual[/b].[/color][/size]
