[COLOR=#FF3399][SIZE=1]I really like this picture, though I'm always partial to lineart above the final coloured piece. You?re lines are really gorgeous, I love the way you used a thicker line for the main outline and lighter ones for the inside. It really gives a very bold effect and even though there's a lot of detail in the picture, everything can be seen clearly. Your proportions and perspective are excellent, something I can never seem to mix together. ^_^; I haven?t seen Naruto but form the few clips I've seen this is an excellent picture of said character. Overall, I love the picture, really well done.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF3399][SIZE=1]This really depends on just [I]how much[/I] money I had. Top of my list would be to move my mum to Australia, as she has wanted to live there for ages. I?d make sure she had enough money to live comfortably and get set up with a business or something. After that I'd send myself to Seattle for a few months and see ULX. I?d stock up on anime and manga in America since there's a bigger selection there than in England. I'd probably take ULX with me to Spain since I know he wants to go there, too. Getting a nice car for my mum would be high on the list, too. Oh, and a puppy. Now, if I were madly, madly rich I would buy a huge plot of land somewhere in the vicinity of Seattle. Build a castle, buy a load of expensive and stupidly fast cars that I would never drive, get a butler and a puppy and convert the rest of my money into five-pound notes so that I could put them in a pool and swim in my money and laugh. Yup. Probably go for world domination next.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF3399][SIZE=1]You can only have too much sex when you're starting to get bored and end up having to fake an orgasm. Yes, that is when things have truly made a turn for the worst. Seriously though, if you feel there are too many sexings too soon, then go ahead and discuss it with your partner. It can't really hurt afterall, can it?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF3399][SIZE=1]I imagine Labour will be getting into power again, which is a shame, as I don't really like Mr. Blair very much. Don't trust that man when it comes to his strategies. If I was allowed to vote I'd be going Lib. Dem. as they seem to have it sorted pretty well when it comes to their policies on education. Mum doesn't even know who to vote for, but I think she may go Conservative. I wish we had someone like Maggie back in, I know a lot of people won't agree with me but she done so much for this country and really helped in the long run. Am I the only one who thinks that none of the parties are focussing on crime nearly enough?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF3399][SIZE=1]Well, Unborn Lord Xion was telling me about the Japanese episodes of Digimon and how they were better than the English ones...so I thought, why not? I got a few of the Digimon Adventure 2 episodes on torrent and they're not half bad. So, here we have a Digimon project. I always thought that series one had the best characters with series two having the best appearances, hence the reason why I used those instead. I've done Friendship and Courage so far; tonight I'm planning on Knowledge and Reliability. So, without further ado, we have two Digimon graphics... [B]Friendship-[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/Friendship.gif[/IMG] [B]Courage-[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/Courage.gif[/IMG] Comments and crit. are much loved. [B]Edit:[/B] I've just noticed that the transparent section showed up as white >.< anyone know how to fix that?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]I was going to say the same thing as Gelgoog >>; Sean and I will come together, we could fly out from London or something....if that's okay with him...where ever he is. Steeeff....is it okay if Trevor and I have a hotel room together? We'll be more than happy to supply the [S] rating. ^_~[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I actually disagree with you whole heatedly on this point, Takuya, sorry about that. There is no reason why a Pokemon RPG shouldn't be rated M. Bare with me here. Sure, if the creator wants to go with the traditional 'Let's go catch some Pokemon and battle them out.' it should be an E rating, but if they want to use the Pokemon idea and say, throw in some spice, why not let them give it an M rating? I started a Digimon RP and was [I]planning[/I] on it having excessive gore, sexual references and bad language. Why? Because Digimon is enjoyed by older people as well as young and throwing in something else to make it more exciting than the series was fun. And hell, people seemed to really like the idea after all. Thread ratings don't necessarily go with the subject matter. If someone wanted to do a Powerpuff Girls RPG and had the girls in stilettos and fishnets would it still be okay for younger members to participate? No, it wouldn't be. Ratings are for what the creator has planned to happen the RPG and unless you've specifically asked people why they rated their threads M then I don't think you should be throwing out a statement like this. I agree with Josh, M is for freedom. I rate most of my threads as M because even though sometimes they come to nothing [I]the possibility is there[/I] and an M rating is simply a warning that people must expect something to happen and not complain when it does. There, I've said my bit.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=#FF3399]I kept wanting to jump into this thread, and now who's better to analyse than ULX? (Especially when I made his banner...) [B]SN:[/B] You are unhealthily obsessed with Xion, of the Bloody Roar games, you obviously feel that he is the best game character out there even when you could have picked Long instead. *tut* The fact that you also put 'Unborn Lord' in there shows that not only do you know more about his character but you have great pride in yourself and want others to know you are powerful. ...yeah. [B]Custom Title:[/B] You like pool. A lot, since you haven't changed your CT in ages. Either that, or you forgot about it. Also (from what I can remember) getting the eight ball in the corner pocket would be good? So we get the pride and possible arrogance coming through with this again. [B]Avatar:[/B] It matches the banner.... not much to say about it except it's very pretty. You must like pretty things. [B]Banner:[/B] Well, I did try and make this as much like you as possible. Xion has been used with the quote 'Who could resist this face?' this shows that you are (slightly) cocky and have pride in your appearance and you're not afraid to let others know. Again, you like the pretty things. [B]Sig:[/B] You are the proud leader of the Silver Sadists, which shows you're quite possibly the most sadistic of them all. This I do not doubt for a second. It also shows that you love me lots. =P I couldn't resist. Please, someone else have a go at ULX as I pretty much know what he's like by now, so this is kind of cheating. Plus, I'd love someone to give me a go >>;[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]Name: [/B] Jamie Nesbitt [B]Age:[/B] 19 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Appearance:[/B] Jamie stands at what some may call a short 5'3'', with long slender legs and long arms as well as a slim but slightly toned stomach. Most of Jamie's friends worry about her weight, seeing as she went to a doctor to find she wasn't eating enough. Her fingers are long (piano fingers) and she usually wears her nails short, changing the colour every week. Her face is long and slim, with a very straight nose covered in light freckles. Jamie's eyes are dark green with long eye lashes, she usually has them half closed which gives her a perpetually bored or annoyed look, depending on how you look at her. Her cheekbones are high and her mouth is quite thin with her lips being a very pale pink colour. Jamie wears her hair short and dyed a bright red colour. She looks best in black and doesn't usually wear much else. She loves her leather jacket and her black hipster jeans, which bag down to almost completely cover her shoes. Recently Jamie has decided to add a few additions to her previously unchanged appearance. She now has a tongue stud, which she has been getting used ot over the past six months, and two tatoos. One tatoo is on her right inner thigh and is a simple black chinese dragon while the other is a small heart on her left hip with the initials 'TJG' inside of it. Only Natalie and her mum know about the tatoos. [B]Character Snippet:[/B] The sound of the shower going on and the early morning sunlight filtering through curtains was what woke Jamie Nesbitt up on this fine summer day. She groaned and turned over, the sun was not her friend. She heard Natalie, her best friend and roommate, step out of the shower and towel herself dry. Again, Jamie groaned, knowing she would have to get up in a few seconds. These last few seconds of bed were the best. The best before... [B]"Jamie! Get up or you'll be late!" "Mmph...off...."[/B] Natalie pushed the door open, clad in her fuzzy pink gown, and pulled the sheets back from Jamie, discovering that her friend hadn't even got undressed from the night before. Her laptop lay next to her, a window flashing green in the Start bar. Natalie nudged Jamie's hand aside to open the window, reading the conversation: [B]sabbath midnight:[/B] I think I should go, it's past two... [B]Oni Meijin X:[/B] Go then, you need your sleep. [B]sabbath midnight:[/B] Okay, night then [B]Oni Meijin X[/B]: Sweet, naughty dreams [B]sabbath midnight:[/B] You too *wub* [B]Oni Meijin X:[/B] *wub* Natalie laughed and nudged Jamie again, pointing to the window. [B]"Late night?"[/B] [B]"I was...working." "Apparently so..."[/B] Natalie left for her room and Jamie sat up, smiling as the conversation on her screen registered. She ran her fingers through her hair and checked her mail, finding one from a friend in Texas: [I]Hey guys, School is finally out, so I want you all to come spend a week here in Texas with me. I hope you all can come; I can?t wait to see everyone! Hopefully we won?t have any problems with planes and such. As soon as you all get here, we?ll get you settled into a suite in the hotel, and then we can all go out to party at my place! I?ll meet you all at the airport in two weeks time, at seven, your time. Hope to see you then! Kelly a.k.a. SimpleChaos [/I] Jamie stared at the screen, checking the e-mail addresses the letter had been sent to. Most of her friends had been invited, and yes, even [I]him[/I]. She grinned, drew in a deep breath, and squealed. [B]Whoo, this should be fun. Darling is signing up; too, I have been assured. Attached picture for better description. *ignore the skirt...please* >.

[SIZE=1]*fears teh wrath of teh Boo* I just adore the effects you used on this and I'm making it my mission in life to figure out exactly what you done to make this set look so beautiful. The text works well with the overall effect and even though it blends with the background it's still clear. The soft but eye-catching colours give a gorgeous light effect; it kind of makes me think of what heaven would be like or what it's like to be high. XD The woman you used is gorgeous, too. (

[SIZE=1]I gave it a shot. Hope this is what you were looking for. ^_^ [B]Banner:[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/momo_banner.png[/IMG] [B]URL-[/B] [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/momo_banner.png[/url] [B]Avatar:[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/momo_avatar.png[/IMG] [B]URL-[/B] [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/momo_avatar.png[/url][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I agree with Kairi on what he said, love is just a word to describe a feeling, but there are times when just saying 'I love you' doesn't seem like quite enough. Also, like Kairi said, you have the differences between different kinds of love. You can love someone, like a friend or family member, and then there's being [I]in love[/I] with someone, which would be your partner. Of course, you've got to be careful (as a teenager) to differentiate between lust and love, I know that may sound silly, but I see all these girls in school saying "I love you" to their current boyfriend after knowing him for one month and then breaking up with him after one week. I think love is used too loosely these days. Maybe it's because I am in love I can appreciate just how much it means for someone to tell you that they love you and you mean everything to them. I'm going off on a rant, I'll stop now. [B]My opinion:[/B] Love is when someone knocks the breath out of you, and you can never get it back no matter how hard you try. Love is sharing an equal feeling with someone and knowing it in your heart and mind without anyone having to tell you.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Never had Gabriel experienced a fight such as this. Yes, he drew them out purposefully, but this man was something else. Gabriel was losing and he could feel it. But then that spark, that glorious spark of adrenaline was lit and Gabriel fell into it gratefully. He didn't even see the sword slash at his neck before he twirled away, spear making a downwards swing at Xion's legs. He managed to make the larger man unbalanced and quickly lunged forward, knocking the wind from Xion with a hard hit to his chest. Xion stumbled and landed against some old drums, metal splintered and rust littered the floor as he tried to regain his footing before a swift punch to the side of his face knocked him sprawling across the dusty floor. Gabriel jumped back, a manic grin now marring his once beautiful features. He had unlocked it, that warrior?s fire within. It was like a drug, like something he could not deny. He needed it. He relished the rush of power through his veins and accepted that he was changing for the worst. Again, he fell deeper into the spark, fires now coursing through his body. His spear lay forgotten on the ground, Xion's katana not far away from the fallen warrior?s right hand. Xion rolled to the side and stood up, a small trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his bruised mouth. Gabriel cracked his neck and went swiftly into another assault of kick and punches, purposefully aiming for Xion's strong arms. The now tiring Xion kept up his defence, not letting a single punch through, but he could see what Gabriel was doing. Before long his arms would be bruised and numbed from the swift, hard punches. He needed a break, his katana, and his kunai. [I]'Claws...'[/I] Xion brought his hand up and narrowly dodged a punch to his stomach, slashing his clawed glove over Gabriel's chest. Gabriel yelped and staggered back slightly, blood seeping across his once white shirt like a great flood. His eyes sparked dangerously and his mouth twisted into a snarl. Xion merely smirked and settled back into a defensive stance. [B]"I won't let you win."[/B] Gabriel growled. [B]"You will not defeat me!"[/B] [B]OOC I think we should bring this to a close soon, say, two more posts each?[/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Well, I gave it a shot. I hope this is what you were looking for, dear; I quite like the end product. [B]Banner:[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/skye_banner.png[/IMG] [B]URL-[/B] [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/skye_banner.png[/url] [B]Avatar:[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/skye_avatar.png[/IMG] [B]URL-[/B] [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/skye_avatar.png[/url][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]While I do think that coming in and slamming some handcuffs on a little kid is wrong, I do think she should have been at least removed from the school. We are, after all, not people to condone misbehaviour but taking her to jail is a little extreme when you look at what perfectly capable adults get away with most of the time. Obviously something has happened to make the kid act that way and that is what should be looked at and focussed on instead of punishing her so extremely for something that she might not even realise is wrong. I think the fact that she was swearing shows something in the way that she's been raised. A visit from social services should be what that girl needs.[/SIZE]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][SIZE=1]I agree with Solo, a woman is made with breasts so that she can feed her baby, if it wasn't meant to be and women were somehow mutating themselves to feed their babies with breast milk I'd understand, but this is perfectly natural. Given, a woman breast-feeding in the middle of a meeting is maybe not what everyone wants to see, but I don't think women should be forced into stopping breast-feeding. As if technology hasn't corrupted enough natural things already, why stop a perfectly natural and healthier way of life?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][SIZE=1]I don't even know what blood type I am. Every time I ask my mum she just shrugs. Scary? Yes. I'm sorry to say I have this little obsession with horoscopes. Not big, I don't go around saying 'I am Capricorn, don't come near me unless you're Scorpio or Virgo' but I do have this little thing where I look for similarities. I mean, ULX is a Libra and we both stand by the fact that we're totally 100% compatible. Oh, another thing, I have this silly thing that I won't date people who have a certain clothing style or accent. People say I'm a snob, but I really don't care. In Liverpool, there is a style of clothing that is sports tracksuits and that's it. I think it looks stupid to be wearing an orange tracksuit out when you're shopping. I don't even own a tracksuit and I'd never wear one. Flame me about it all you want, I couldn't really care less. The accent is another thing. I'm naturally attracted to American accents, it's just a thing with me, same way I have an obsession with Asian boys. But some accents, like the strong Liverpool accent just grates on my nerves. So, basically: English girl looking for American Scorpio, punk style only, long hair preferable. ^_~[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][SIZE=1][B]OOC Hey, don't forget about me.[/B] Toji was hit. Blood, again, so much blood. [I][CENTER]Can't breathe...burning...chain so heavy.[/CENTER][/I] Emi stumbled but brought her eyes back into focus, while the others went all out on the monster; she dropped to her hands and knees and crawled over to the bleeding Toji. A single tear dropped form her eye as she stumbled again, digging her nails into the ground to keep from losing her balance. [B]"Toji..."[/B] Her voice seemed so far away, like an echo in her head. She shook her mind clear once again and wiped a hand over Toji's forehead. Then the light, that blinding and warming light. Toji's cross dissolved from around his neck and hovered over his chest, its radiating warmth bathed Emi's face and she had to sit back. She closed her eyes and leant back, feeling as if she was being pulled into the earth itself. Warmth. A smile touched her lips and she opened her eyes once again seeing her silver chain hovering gently over her shirt, it's glow lighting her face and chest. [B]"Silver..."[/B] she gasped as the light that had now enveloped Toji surrounded herself. From black came the light and from cold came warmth. When she opened her eyes again she was clutching Toji's hand.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][SIZE=1]I'm going to have a crack at this today, I can't right now since I'ver only just woken up and even typing is hard for my hands at the moment. I'll be back with your banner in a few hours.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]Quincy sat up from his bed, his Absol's head jerking up suddenly before it yawned, slightly miffed by his trainers sudden movement. Quincy stretched and stood up, recalling his Absol to it's Pokeball. After packing some things away, he stretched again and yawned lazily. "I suppose I better get to know these people." He walked outside only to be knocked down by a water gun attack. "You [I]idiot[/I]!" a girl cried, "What the hell are you doing stepping into a battle?!" she quickly slipped into Japanese and Quincy could only assume she was yelling insults at him. he grinned sheepishly and stood up, bowing in apology. "Gomenasaii, minna-san." he said, hoping his rusty Japanese was at least somewhat correct. "I'll just...er...I'll just leave." He laughed again and quickly left, feeling both trainers eyes burning into his back. Grumbling slightly, Quincy made a conscious effort to watch where he was going; attempting to find someone he could talk to.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC I know I said I wanted out of this, love, but it's gotten too good. ^_^;[/B] Emi watched in horror as the blood spilled around her. It pooled around her shoes, the warmth of its wetness seeping through the material. She looked down and blanched, jumping back from the puddle of crimson. She saw Toji rush forward, it just didn't seem real. He jumped at the monster, a perfect kick right on target. It was inhuman, and it certainly wasn't the normal Toji. Then more students came; Emi noted that it was all the new ones who she had only met in this same day. Something burned against her skin and she whimpered, clutching to her throat. [B]"Need some help?"[/B] Emi looked up and saw a girl, Lai was her name, and was awed by the site of the dagger she carried. [I]'These people aren't kids...they're warriors.' [/I] At first the thought seemed absurd, but then... They were so incredible, all of them fought together as one solid force against this monster. This beast. Emi knew she had to do something, the burning was becoming more intense and for a second the thought of launching herself at the monster seemed like the simple answer to her problem. Her logic pushed it back, Emi knew she couldn't fight and there was no point in pretending. But up until ten minutes ago monsters didn't exist either. Before she knew what was happening, Emi was on her feet rushing at the monster at speeds she never knew she could. She shouted for one of the boys, Shin, to help. He knew what she was aiming for as she glanced at the monster?s snarling face. He crouched and cupped his hands just as Emi jumped. Her left foot hit Shin's hands squarely in the cupped palms and she was launched high into the air. Her right leg swung round and a look of pure concentration was fixed firmly in place on Emi's usually soft features. She struck the creature on the side of the head with such a force she was set off in a spiral, landing on the ground before stumbling into Shin. The monster reeled back and toppled against a tree, a barrage of hits now coming in from Lai. Emi stood, shocked at what she had just done. She reached down and felt the stinging cold of metal against her hand. The monster barely dodged one of Lai's attacks and stared, [B]"The chain as well, I seem to have struck lucky..."[/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I was talking to Unborn Lord Xion a while back about something similar to this. I know DevART has pretty much gone all out on their summit; I probably should have looked into it further. ULX and I were talking about an OB Convention, of sorts. It wouldn't have to be expensive, though it would probably end up costing certain members quite a bit of money to travel to the location. It would be great if eventually there were enough funds to set up a one-week event or something for just the Otaku Boards and theOtaku members. I'm sure that after a couple of years a lot of people would have heard of the OB and may even sponsor a large event like this? Hey, James, you may create a whole new event for people to come and enjoy. It could reach the dizzying heights of E3 and Anime Expo. ^_~[/SIZE]

[COLOR=#FF33B1][SIZE=1][B]OOC >.< Excuse my lateness.[/B] Quincy's chest heaved as he sprinted toward the harbour in Vermillion City. He'd had a week of solid travelling to get from Cinnabar Island to Vermillion, choosing the long route for extended training. He looked at his Arcanine's Pokeball, and then re-attached it to his belt. [B]"Mustn't make him...tired." [/B] he wheezed to himself, almost tripping over his own shoelaces. Steam was rising from the boat's funnels and Quincy ran faster, his cheeks flushed a bright red by the time he reached the boarding plank. The ticket collector gave him a funny look as the boy almost collapsed, reaching into his back pocket. [B]"Trainer...virus...water!"[/B] he panted, holding up his ticket. [B]"Oh, right you er...you go right ahead inside, sir."[/B] Quincy just nodded and somehow managed to drag his feet aboard the boat. He knew letting his Arcanine out in here would be near impossible, seeing as the Pokemon was rather sizeable itself. He found his room, B4, and dropped his bag to the floor before collapsing to the bed. [B]"That's what I get for sleeping in, I guess."[/B] he mumbled into the pillow. After a few minutes of catching his breath, Quincy reached down to his trainer belt and pulled off a Pokeball. [B]"Come on out, Absol." [/B] he said, a loving tone in his deep voice. The Pokemon shook it's beautiful head as it was released, licking it paw before settling it's head in Quincy's lap. The boy smiled and leant back, softly stroking his Pokemon's soft, white fur. [B]"Ah, this won't be too bad..."[/B] [B]OOC >.

[COLOR=#FF33B1][SIZE=1]That same smirk was fixed firmly in place on Xion's pale lips. Gabriel smiled weakly and raised a dainty hand to his shoulder, feeling the warmth of his blood seep through his fingers and drip to the floor. Xion's eyes darted to the small splashes and he licked his lips. That sparkle in his eyes is what Gabriel had heard of. This man, no, this monster, wanted blood and would stop at nothing until Gabriel was drained. Again, Xion was on his feet and advancing toward Gabriel, slower this time. He drew back his katana in an arc, reading for a strike to Gabriel's abdomen. Holding his spear at his side, Gabriel began to walk backwards, slowly gaining speed before he was running. Xion stopped and watched in slight awe as Gabriel's feet carried him in a swift sprint into the shadows of the slaughterhouse. "Fast little bastard, aren't you?" Xion spat, walking in that same slow and cautious pace in the direction Gabriel had gone. His senses were on fire, ready for anything. But Gabriel was fast, faster than a warrior?s keen senses and he lunged forward, his spear darting off Xion's leather clad hip, driving the larger man down. Xion snarled as he hit the damp floor with a thud. Gabriel came down again, a short thrust towards Xion's gut. The katana was raised and swiftly the attack was blocked, the clash of metal ringing out loudly in the large empty place. Gabriel jumped back and swept some damp hair from his eyes, a playful smirk fixed firmly in place. The silver haired man before him raised himself and put a hand to his side, noticing the dark blood that smeared across his fingertips. Looking up at Gabriel again, Xion's eyes darkened dangerously as the storm passed overhead. The rain got louder and lighting lit up the slaughterhouse, Gabriel smiled coyly and stepped forward again with another thrust of his spear, this time Xion was ready and he jumped backwards, dodging the advance. He countered with his katana, swinging it at Gabriel's right side in a large arc. Gabriel clutched at his spear and twirled to the side, lifting him off the ground. Using the momentum of his spin, he kicked out one leg and his Xion squarely in the chest, knocking him back once again. Xion exhaled sharply and brought his arms up to block another kick, this one harder. Gabriel, set off balance by the force of his own kick, stumbled backward and that was enough for Xion. He grabbed at his belt and drew out two kunai, flinging them at Gabriel's chest. The red head deflected one with his spear; the other hit him in his already wounded shoulder. A soft cry escaped his lips as he ripped the weapon out, tossing it back down at Xion's feet. [B]"I see I'll have to be taking this shirt to the dry cleaner after all."[/B] The smile was back and Xion's face faltered in slight disappointment. He lunged forward again, his sword aimed at Gabriel's throat. Thunder rolled around as the attack was blocked. Gabriel leaned in, his face only centimetres away from Xion's. [B]"I haven't even begun to fight."[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]
