[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]As everyone groaned and took their places on the floor, some leaves blew through the gap in the half opened door. Mrs. Archer, the teacher who was assigned to this trip sighed and pulled out a cell, starting to call all the parents. The guide shuffled around, looking at everyone with a cold stare, as if he was searching for something to blame on them. Then he spotted the two best friends, Rita and Connor. He looked down his nose at them and scoffed, thinking nothing of the feeling he got from them. [I]'I must remember to contact that McGrath....'[/I] he though, taking a mental note. [I]'It's best not to take any chances these days...'[/I] So the afternoon wore on as spare sheets and mattresses were taken and laid out for the students to rest if they wanted to. If anything, the storm was getting worse and it looked as if it would snow. Connor sighed and shook his head looking out of the window, he would be doing some exploring no matter what and he just hoped there were others like him out there. ****[/COLOR] [B]Thanks everyone for joining, I know this first post is pretty bad but I wanted to get this started today. The Recruitment thread is [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=43533]here[/URL] , remember to have fun and respect the others [/B] ^_^[/SIZE]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I'll gladly help you with that, Joko, just IM me if you want ^_^ I was thinking about the island this morning and I picture a large Lincoln style statue in the middle of the island depicting James, mod-rod in one hand, mouse in the other with a wire hanging down from it. It looked pretty cool in my head.... I could picture some underground cult rising up and having rituals while worshiping the statue at midnight XD I can be so sad? Another thing I wanted to ask, this is more for your story side, 'Tales from the Game', my avatar is Alucard while I myself am female, could I still take his form and use that as my appearance? Just a question, probably stupid but I wanted to make sure >_< Ah yes, something else pertaining the Arena and the living areas, are they like apartments or are they separate houses, like smaller version of the main dome? Sorry if someone asked that or you've answered it, I couldn't see it anywhere but I am rather slow these days. Anyway, as everyone else has said, this is a great idea and I'm sure you'll pull it off wonderfully. You've certainly put a lot of thought into it. [B](Just don't cancel Zoids!)[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Hehe, sorry about that Kit...or should I say...Kitty? XD You've had practice, you'll be alright. Eh heh, sorry guys, in joke >_> *hides from Legacy* I'll start this today and I'll be starting my other RP....I think O_o. Thanks to everyone who signed up, I guess sign ups are still open and since the numbers have evened up, you can play a boy or girl ^_^ Thanks again guys, and have fun ^^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Okay I like everyone?s so far, the only problem is with Moi's, you have to be 16 or 17. I know I said pick only one trait so everyone was different, but people have gone against that so I'll have to live with it, if you guys maybe want to change your trait that would be cool.... everyone is different after all. eg. Cap'n, you could actually have Being Flirty as your trait, it's perfectly feasible ^_^ So far all of you are in, I?ll only deny someone entry if they are really bad, no offence. Another thing... [COLOR=Red][B]NO MORE BOY SIGN UPS![/B][/COLOR] We need two more girls to make things even. Unless a couple of you guys don't mind being single even though this is a romance O_o I've ranted enough now.... thanks for signing up ^_^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Plum][CENTER][U][CENTER]Watermelon Slices & Summer Sun[/CENTER][/U] As the summer break approaches, 6 American college students prepare for what will be the most exciting 5 weeks of their lives. Each of them come from different schools across the country and have been picked as the school?s representative, whether it be for sporting achievement, academic skills or just being a good students, each of them shine in their own ways and will all meet up at a camp in the south of France. A place where the sun shines constantly, shimmering from clear lakes, giving the whole area a truly magical feel about it. None of the teens know each other and yet they will be thrown in together, having to live for themselves in an alien environment. The teachers have decided to give the students one French holiday villa in the middle of no where, surrounded by lush forests and a large lake. Once the students arrive they will be left to their own devices for 5 weeks of summer. Tasks will be set when they least expect it, gaining them rewards if they succeed. All of these tasks will involve teamwork and co-operation. The finest children in America, must, after all, be able to function as a strong unit. But when teenagers are out together, sparks will tend to fly?whether it be friendship, arguments?or romance. **** [/CENTER][/COLOR] [RIGHT]Ah, not a very long story line, but this doesn?t really need one, heh. Anyway, after a very long time, I bring to you a romance RP ^_^ One that doesn?t involve magic, weapons or depression?. really, I haven?t started something like this in a long time. I know I?m very bad for having two RPs in the Inn at the same time, but [U]Innocence is Blind[/U] should be out in a day or two, so it?s not that bad. Is it?

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Methuselah cursed as he saw the damage done to Muse's arm. He sighed and shot a look from behind the rubble. Spencer was busy with a whole mini army of nOObs and wouldn't be able to help. The Captain and Deedlit were nowhere to be seen, they had probably gone ahead to try and recapture one of the ships. [B]"Why is it that I can only do black magic."[/B] Methuselah sighed. Muse laughed, trying to heal herself, just as she began, a massive explosion rocked the pair and they were thrown from their shelter. A crowd of Zerg had attacked and the two Otakus found themselves surrounded by 10 very angry, and armed, NPCs. They both knew how ugly this could get. Methuselah stood and cracked his neck, flashing the enemy his best smile. He tugged on Muse and she stood, shaking from her wound that was starting to bleed badly. [B]"Well, although I wouldn't usually do this..." [/B] Methuselah laughed, his voice sounding cocky?. a Zerg at the front loaded a nOOb rocket launcher. [B]"...But current situations call for a new strategy."[/B] Muse blinked and looked at her friend, [B]"And that would be?"[/B] Methuselah grinned and tapped his nose, sweeping up Muse with his other arm, [B]"Quite simple my dear...RUN LIKE HELL!"[/B] Without a second thought, Methuselah jumped into the air, holding onto Muse and using his magic to levitate. [B]"Ray Wing!"[/B] He called, flying over towards the Inn. [B]"Why didn't you just teleport?"[/B] Muse shouted through the rush of the wind, holding onto her friend with the one arm, knowing that in her current situation, she needed all of her strength. [B]"Oh my, that wouldn't do."[/B] Methuselah laughed, [B]"If there's one thing I've learnt from Role-plays, it's to have a dramatic exit!"[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Methuselah growled as a shadow passed over her face. She clenched her fist around her staff and rose up from her hiding place behind some rubble. Matt looked at her and became worried, he's known her for a while, they had IMed each other for hours and he knew that Methuselah hardly ever got this angry. She looked up, opening her eyes to reveal purple slit orbs, her face on of pure anger. [B]"The nOObs may try to claim these boards...but how [I]dare[/I] they try to take over...a perfectly good....ROLEPLAY!"[/B] she screamed and the other three took cover, staring at their comrade in shock. The magician stopped and landed, in male form, on top of a tower of rubble, looking out over the horizon to see explosions in the distance. [B]"You will not defeat us..."[/B] a wicked smirk crossed the male's face as he ported to the Adventure Arena, leaving the other's behind. Each disappeared, shaking their heads at Methuselah's stupidity. Although, when they arrived, the fruitcake wasn't doing so bad. [B]"Die, nOOb scum!" "Arg! Teh prple freek is 2 strung! Spam at teh reddy!"[/B] That didn't slow the enraged Otaku down, he charged towards the nOObs, ignoring Matt and the others orders to stop. He ran as fast as he could, but as soon as he was in range the nOObs launched the spam. Pink, sticky gunk stuck to the Otaku as he fell, landing not more than four foot away from the command nOOb. [B]"LOLOLOL!! WE R TEH WINERZZZ!!!!! :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: " [/B] the lead nOOb cried, standing proudly on the fallen body of Methuselah, striking a truly Pokemon pose. [B]"TEH NOOBS R TEH ROXXORZ!!"[/B][/COLOR] [B]OOC Arg! Man down at the front![/B][/SIZE]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1][B]Eikou, I'm so glad your playing the Priest, he's probably going to end up being my fave character, lol. [U][COLOR=Red]Positions for Young Witches are closed[/COLOR][/U], I need the guide position to be filled and the leader of that Anti-Witch Society. If not, well...I'm sure we'll survive, heh, anyways, here's my character.[/B] [B]Name:[/B] Connor Mercia [B]Age:[/B] 17 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] *refer to attachment* Connor always wears the best clothes he can, smart corduroy trousers or some nice, dressy jeans. He wears button up shirts and jumpers over them, giving him a very preppy look, even though he's quite different. When he came to Salem, he was wearing black, slim line jeans and a white button up shirt. He brought a padded black coat that reaches to his knees. [B]Occupation[/B]: Student, studying the arts and drama. [B]Personality:[/B] Connor is a very proper person, most would say that he's posh and he would.... agree. He transferred from England 2 years ago and has still got his English accent and dry sense of humour, which the common people call sarcasm. (XD) He has only one friend because of his attitude towards others but he isn't too worried, he knows that if anyone messed with him he could knock them flat anyway. He's quite the accomplished fencer and horse rider and has very good upper body strength and agility because of it. He wanted to come to Salem because he believes that he has come from a long line of American Witches that fled Salem and crossed over to England in search of protection by the Druid clans that scattered the country. He has very strong beliefs and sticks by them constantly; he also sticks by Rita and will protect her as best he can.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1][B]"Well this search was certainly a waste of time."[/B] The floating priest sighed and came to rest on a pile of books and paper, looking around at the unconscious bodies of nOObs and Otakus. He pulled out his communicator and it crackled awake, connecting with Muse. [B]"Who's this?"[/B] [B]"Guess, hon? We're going to need help in the OB Anthology area."[/B] Muse sighed at the other end of the line before starting, [B]"Alright, alright, I'll get some people over there now. But you better help!"[/B] The radio crackled off as Muse shouted the last word, Methuselah chuckled and pocketed the small, purple radio. [B]"Don't I always?"[/B] He picked up his staff and stood proudly on the pile of books, looking out only to see... [B]"Holy crap! Another nOOb party!"[/B] Grabbing the radio frantically, Methuselah contacted Matt, [B]"Matt, listen, I've got about 15...no 20 nOOb coming at me in the OBA, send reinforcements!"[/B] A chuckle came from the other end and Methuselah growled, knowing what was coming next, [B]"I'm sure you can handle them."[/B] that was it, the radio switched off, leaving Methuselah out there, by himself faced with 20 angry nOObs armed with Spam hurlers. [B]"Lousy Captian...bet he wants me to be beaten...I'll show him!"[/B] [B]"OMFG!! He az gotz prple hare!"[/B] [B]"ROFLMA!!!!!" "nOObs, prepar teh smilie atk!"[/B] [B]"Oh no...."[/B] Methuselah groaned, shifting into a female body, crouching low behind some rocks. This was the worst attack, but she had to fight it. "Okay, no use in hiding now." she stood up, "BLAST BO--" and was struck down by a frowning smilie, about 3 foot tall. [B]"Oh my, that wasn't pleasant..."[/B] Methuselah sighed, jumped up again to try another attack, hoping that Legacy was being sarcastic when he said that she alone could handle these.....monsters.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]A mysterious figure sat on one of the wooden chairs in the Adventure Inn, happily sipping at some hot chocolate as Legacy walked through the door. The figure looked up, a curtain of purple hair covering half of its face. Yeah, most people referred to the Otaku as 'it', even though Methuselah was a girl....she had an annoying habit of switching genders, especially while Role-Playing. [B]Methuselah[/B]: So, how's it going out there, Legacy? A grin spread across the now male's face as he stood from the chair, happy to see the annoyed look on Matt's face. [B]Matt[/B]: You should know, I needed help, why didn't you come?! Anger was evident in Matt's voice as he walked over to his 'friend', fists clenched in a threatening manner. [B]Methuselah[/B]: Now, now, I won't be much help if you injure me, now will I? The Otaku pecked Matt on the cheek, leaving rather hastily in fear of mortal injury. He glanced across to where the battle was and gasped at the sight of the many Otaku's that were being carried away by the new members who were currently not that good at fighting. [B]Methuselah[/B]: My, my, this certainly won't do. I wonder where Master James and Charles are, we could use them now. With a faint *pip* noise, Methuselah ported to the OB Anthology area, in search of more help for the oncoming fight.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1][B]A warning in advance, I'm no Zoids expert, so if there are some errors, I greatly apologise and I'll fix them immediately.[/B] [CENTER][U]Character-[/U][/CENTER] [B]Name:[/B] Christian 'Chris' Marx [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Age:[/B] 20 [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/christian.jpg]Christian[/URL] [B]Personality:[/B] Despite his cool demeanour, Christian is a very kind and caring person. He always keeps a poker face when around people he doesn't know; he prefers to get to know them before throwing himself in and granting them his trust. But once Christian considers you a friend, you will always have someone who will stand by you and fight for you.Christian is very loyal and will do anything he can to help out a friend; of course, having a rich family helps these good deeds along. Even though Christian has got a very wealthy family, he hasn't let any of it go to his head and he prefers to act like he doesn't even know them, especially when they start talking about cruises in a personal yacht.The young man always dresses well, believing that even if you don't have the money, looking good will always give people a higher opinion of you...he always sticks by this and will encourage anyone to do the same. Being a rather kind person, Christian is sometimes taken advantage of by people who know of his wealth, ones who are good actors and are able to gain Christian?s trust will easily be able to exploit it and make the most out of him until the young man finds out.Despite that, Christian continues to trust and he always keeps a cool head, even in the worst possible situation, Christian will be able to make quick and sensible decisions. [B]Pilot Ranking:[/B] [B]Z.B.C Registration Number:[/B] ZRN-46443-AC [B]Biography/Personal History:[/B] It was late Winter when Christian Marx appeared from hospital and started the journey to his new home, a large country mansion, flagged by three police bikes and a black saloon, holding 2 armed bodyguards.Yes, it would be a life of reporters, scandals and Private Schooling, but at that young age of 1 week, Christian was oblivious. It was only when he learnt about the War and the Zoids at the age of 6 that it all changed. Christian was so fascinated by the idea of 'mecha animals', as his mother put it, that he yearned to know more about them...not the weapons side, but the mechanics. The theory behind Zoids, the way they worked.Of course, this was all too much for a 6 year old, and after many talks with his Grandfather and personal tutors, Christian became bored with Zoids and the Guylos-Helic War and dismissed them as a passing phase. His parents were actually happy; they didn't want their son to be messed up with some dirty War history and violent weapons. So, for the next 9 years, Christian lived a sheltered life of personal schooling and posh dinner parties. But, on his birthday as the snow fell lightly outside; a knock came to the door with a 15 year old Christian answering it. A smile crossed his face as he saw the familiar figure of his Uncle standing on the doorstep, shivering from the winter chill. His face was unshaven and his hair was messy, a cigarette hung from his slightly chapped lips, but those bright blue eyes were sparkling kindly as always.Christian?s mother entered the hallway and upon seeing her brother, broke into a large grin, grabbing him in a long awaited hug, saying how pleased she was to see him. The man laughed and produced a box from his deep coat pockets, pushing it into his nephew's hands. Christian smiled and hugged his Uncle, thanking him for the gift and hastily ran to his room to un-rap it. What he found was a Zoid model kit, none other than the Ice Blazer. The boy remembered his time of fascination with the machines and quickly set to assembling the model.Once finished, the Ice Blazer stood proudly on the boy?s shelf, until his mother entered the room. She was shocked and scolded the teen for having something that resembled a weapon in his room and quickly grabbed the gift, destroying it and throwing it away. 3 years later Christian left to build an Ice Blazer and become an expert Zoid pilot. He succeeded and practiced with the Zoid constantly, fairing well enough to make a small name for himself, mainly amongst lower level Zoid pilots.He made no major changes to his Zoid, as it wasn't the winning that spurred him to fight, it was just his way of freeing himself from his parents. Even though Christian is known himself, he dreams of meeting the legendary Kazuki Sho and battling him, even if he doesn't win, just the thrill would be enough.

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=1]I haven't updated this thread in a while, I know it's not on the first couple of pages so I hope bringing it back is okay...since I started it and I figured it was better than starting a while new thread.... anyways, with that ramble over, I bring to you...some more drawing by me, eh heh. [U]Picture the First-[/U] [I]Imi Kagami.[/I] I've been working on this character since I first started drawing manga, she's based on me although when I first drew her she had long blonde hair O_o. Now her hairstyle is similar to mine. Anyway, I haven't drawn girls in quite a while, so this is probably off somehow *cringe* I never did enjoy drawing girls as much, maybe because I'm not very good at it, lol. [U]Picture the Second-[/U] [I]Fallen Angel/Imric Kagushi.[/I] Yet another Imric picture. I know his left hand is too small and the blood looks dodgy and the wing...I could go on for ages. But I do have an excuse for the crappy-ness. I started this as a stupid doodle when I was staying at my friends, but she had never seen me draw and wanted to see the picture coloured, so there.... I coloured it XD. [U]Picture the Third-[/U] [I]Imric Gift.[/I] This is a gifty for my dear friend [B]Steff[/B] (Rhian) and I know I spelt her name wrong on the heart >_< stupid me. But I'm not expecting you to be looking at the heart anyways >_> The coloured version is on its way, slowly but surely I am finishing it. Consider this picture an apology for not working on the manga we had set our sites on ;_; That's it for now; comments and crit. are definitely appreciated![/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1][B][U][CENTER]Innocence is Blind.[/CENTER][/U][/B] [CENTER]A harsh wind blows through the streets of a quiet town. All windows are shut tightly, the residents inside afraid of what they might see when they are opened. The sky cries out as lightening hits the forest, the large oaks, 100s of years old, bursting into brilliant flames. Some of the older people claim that it is the wrath of God; others claim it to be the work of Witches. This town is modern day Salem. The year is 2005 and despite the many years that have passed, people still believe in the existence of witches, and they still hate them with a passion. Only a few don?t believe or have no problems with the legend, those are the ones who are accused. But, since this is present day, none are sent to the stake or set to be tested in the cruel means as there were all those centuries ago. No. People will be cast aside, ignored, shunned by the people that they used to call friends. Until, of course, they decide to leave the town, then, a few weeks later, a new family will be accused of sheltering a Witch. A school from the nearby town has decided to take a day trip to the town of Salem. They arrive, the winds battering their coach harshly as the driver curses the fowl weather. Teenagers huddle under coats and against each other, dreading their decision of coming just to miss one day of school. The teacher spots the building where the class will take shelter and shouts for the driver to stop. Within a few minutes the whole class of 15 is bundled out of the bus and squashed into the small town hall. A shivering boy stands to the side, his blue hair stuck to his face from the driving rain. His best friend, a girl, shivers next to him and looks up into his face. She smiles weakly and closes her eyes. A warm glow comes from her and the boy smiles. ?You?ve been practicing?? The girl nods in reply and watches as her friend also shuts his eyes, a glow coming from his chest, warming his core. The two have been practicing for a while now, knowing that they have stumbled upon some unknown power. There are others like them, although no one will admit to it. The teenagers haven?t realised it yet, but they are Witches, the blood of those who were burned alive still runs through their veins. Both are brought to attention by the hacking cough of what seems to be their guide, standing at the front of the hall. He looks around and sighs, knocking his clenched fist against his chest, ?As you can all see, Salem has been hit by a storm?. I?m sorry to say that you will all have to stay here until it passes over. Your parents will be contacted as soon as possible.? A groan fills the hall as the students drop to the floor in annoyance, some start bad-mouthing the teachers, others huddle together in an attempt to stay warm. The two friends stay at the back and settle themselves down in a corner, with nothing better to do than practice their magick?but they have no idea how useful it will become. ****[/CENTER][/COLOR] [SIZE=1][COLOR=Black][RIGHT]Okay, basically, this is based in modern Salem and you will play a character that is associated with it.

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Okay, this thread is for discussions, questions and extra info on Innocence is Blind. [U]Roles-[/U] [B]The Village Priest[/B]- The Village Priest is very young and has a very open mind, he isn?t even sure about his own religion any more. He does believe in Witches and if he ever met one, he would protect them. But he does keep his opinions to himself for fear of being thrown from the Church. [B]Age:[/B] 26 [B]The Priest?s Assistant[/B]- An older man/woman. He/She isn?t sure about the existence of Witches but hopes that they don?t exist. He/She has very different opinions than the Priest; he/she would never shelter a Witch. *optional* [B]Age:[/B] 30 [B]The Guide[/B]- A massive player in the Anti-Witch group, quite near the top in fact. He hates Witches with a passion and it is known that his ancestors were well known Witch Hunters. [B]Age:[/B] 25-35 [B]Teacher[/B]- Male/Female, very young and has an open mind but doesn?t really enjoy his/her job. *optional* [B]Age:[/B] 21-23 [B]Leader of the Anti-Witch Society[/B]- This man is very wealthy and extremely well known in the Town of Salem. His ancestors where the ones who used to send Witches to their graves. They were a bunch of executioners, hunters and judges, all of whom hated Witches. But there is a rumour that he was related to one of the most well-known Witches of her time, Bellamina. [B]Age: 26+[/B] [B]The Best Friend[/B]- The female lead role, she hasn?t been practising her magick for long and sticks by her best friend at all times. She was related to one of the lesser known, but powerful Witches in Salem. [B]Age:[/B] 17 [B]Young Witch[/B]- A young boy/girl who lives in the village and has been able to hide his/her powers for many years. He/She has been practising for a while and has become quite powerful; unfortunately that power is starting to be detected and he/she is looking for others like his/herself to help him/her. [B]Age:[/B] 16-19 All those with the [U]*optional*[/U] marking don?t have to be filled. I know there are quite a few roles and I probably won?t get them all filled, but I can dream. If you think of another role, then by all means PM me with the idea and I?ll see if it?ll work okay. As you may have guessed, I?m playing the boy. Thanks if you?ve read this and if you sign up ^_^.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=1]I don't visit this forum nearly enough, sorry I missed this when you first posted it >_< I think this is a very good idea, it's definitely got promise and I don't think there's anything else out right now that has the same sort of theme. (Though I could be wrong, hey, it happens.) The girl?s descriptions are very good, I like the way each of them are different yet they seem to compliment each other. Also, I like the way you've given them split personalities of a sort. If you stick at this (unlike me) then this should be really good. I can't wait to see, watch out for me drawing fanart of the characters mwaha![/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC Sorry I wasn't here, thanks for letting me stay in, Takuya. ****[/B] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]NeoMetalGarurumon growled as he sprinted through the thick forest. He cursed himself for not keeping up with the other guardians. He needed new scouts, ones who would be able to contact him in time in a situation like this. Just them a Hawkmon flew down and landed on the guardian?s back, [B]"Master, the other three guardians are in a battle at the temple. It seems that they need help."[/B] NeoMetalGarurumon said nothing but ran faster, launching himself from the dark of the forest and into the open light. He spotted the battle, explosions and cries from the Digimon filled the air as the large wolf ran to the scene. He skidded to a halt next to NeoMegidramon who nodded and dodged a weak attack from an Agumon. [B]"Thanks for finally showing up."[/B] NeoMetalGarurumon snorted and reared up [B]"Arctic Blaster!"[/B] he howled as his attack launched towards a Greymon that looked ready to attack NeoPhoenixmon. The torpedo's exploded and the wounded Digimon howled in pain, falling back and crushing some rookies below. NeoPhoenixmon turned and nodded to NeoMetalGarurumon, glad that all the guardians were together finally. NeoMetalGarurumon stood firmly next to NeoMegidramon and shook his head, blinking out the light and staring at the horde of Digimon before him, [B]"Well, this has certainly brightened up my day..."[/B] [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SeaGreen]Zetta sighed in relief and hopped down the ladder, landing next to the Shrine Maiden that had rescued the pair. Raodin jumped down and smiled, rubbing the back of his head and laughing, [B]"Saved by a Shrine Maiden, that's a first!"[/B] [B]"Shut it, Raodin."[/B] Zetta growled, a blush crossing her cheeks as the thought sunk in. [B]"I suppose you want something in return?"[/B] she asked lazily, leaning against a wall, looking at the innocent Shrine Maiden before them. [B]"Oh my, no," [/B] Sable stated, bowing her head to the sorceress, [B]"I just know that you're innocent and I can't stand seeing innocent people accused."[/B] [B]"Well, Zetta isn't exactly innocent..."[/B] Raodin laughed, looking to the sky as he remembered all the things the two had got mixed up in along their travels. Zetta twitched and sighed as a vein popped in her forehead, her face reddening in anger. [B]"...Raodin." "Yes, Zetta?"[/B] Sable watched in anticipation. [B]"...One more remark like that and I'll blow you [I]apart[/I]!"[/B] [B]"Help!"[/B][/COLOR] [B]OOC Yes, I'm back! Thanks for posting, guys.[/B][/SIZE]

[B]Persona:[/B] Kanatsunbo is very laid back despite the fact that she has been cursed with deafness. She knows that there is no cure and doesn't like to stress over the fact. She enjoys his life and doesn't really ever wish for much, only when she sees birds singing in spring, or friends laughing over jokes does she wish that she could hear all the sounds in the beautiful world. Kanatsunbo always tries to make light of situations and tries not to depend on others too much. [B]Appearance:[/B] Being the Keeper of Light, Kanatsunbo always has a very pure and radiant look about her. She has long arms and long legs, all of which end with talons, painted white are another light colour, like lilac. She wears white and lilac silk robes, picked out by her helper who means the world to her. Her wings are white with specks of grey and they aren't as big as the other AI's. They each stretch to about 1 meter and can only keep Kanatsunbo in the air for a short amount of time. Her eyes are usually half closed but on the odd occasion, mostly when she is angry, she will open them fully. They are a milky white colour, mixed with light purple and she has no pupils, giving her a very eerie look. Her hair is light purple mixed with silver and it flows past the AI?s knees. She has a different beauty about her, no the kind that is obvious at first glance. The female always tries to wear a smile on her face no matter how she feels, she knows that it's best to make others feel good. [B]Biography:[/B]Kanatsunbo has always enjoyed interacting with others around her and often ventures out to see others who know about the AI. Even though she cannot hear, Kanatsunbo loves to go down to the club and watch all the others go about their business. By not being able to hear, the AI can appreciate the gift of sight more than others and revels in the sights of colours and movement. She enjoys drawing and will sit by herself, sketching birds or landscapes, smiling at the beauty of the world. She loves watching the Angels but also enjoys the company of the other two AI, even though they can be distant at times. [B]I hope that the [U]Edit[/U] was okay; I know it's not the longest I've ever written so if you need more, just ask[/B].[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=1]This sounds wonderful Eikou, but I have one question. What do you mean by location? I'm afriad I've no idea what tp put for that, sorry ^_^; I've signed up as an AI, incase you read this first. I always love it when you do an RP, the backstory is always so interesting to read, heh. I would have signed up earlier but I was away, so my apologies for that. If my sign up seems a bit incomplete it's probably because I'm a bit unsure, I'll fix it, don't worry. [B]PS.[/B] I've got another banner idea forming in my head, lol, I'll try not to feel guilty by asking you this time.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=1][B]Character Name:[/B] Methuselah [B]Status:[/B] Otaku [B]Boards Location:[/B] The Arena [B]Team:[/B] Practically Worships [B]Team Hanzo[/B] [B]Appearance: [/B] [URL=http://www.animegalleries.net/albums/Slayers/xellos/slayers_xellos016.jpg]Clicky[/URL] Ah, always choose one of [I]the[/I] most annoying anime characters...it will work wonders for your social status... [B]Weapons:[/B] The odd black magic spell and a staff which comes in very handy for stabbing people if need be. Also, the power of annoyance and switching between genders in Role-plays. [B]God, I can be so sad XD Hope this okay, Master Kit.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SeaGreen]How do we know what happens after you've died? I know Cyriel pointed out that it depends on faith, and that's true. I wouldn't say that I follow any religion, but I do believe in reincarnation and in ghosts. So, where does that leave me when I die? Will I continue to live as a memory, or a spirit? Or will I simply come back and live another life and repeat the cycle. Life is not pointless. If it were pointless people wouldn't put up with it. I'm sure you aren't the only one who's thought about that and it is a good point, I've even thought about it before. I just think that everyone has some purpose in life, whether it be to help someone else or to find some amazing cure to a disease, it doesn't matter. Even a person who feels useless has probably done something to save another's life or help them through something. I think you should maybe think about that, most of us here are only young and probably haven't found any purpose to life yet, but eventually, something will happen in your life and you'll realise why you were put here in the first place. For some reason this thread has made me think of the [B]Chaos Theory[/B]: [I]"The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen. Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does."[/I] Everything has an effect, no matter how small it seems.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[B][CENTER]Don't be Discouraged[/CENTER][/B] [B]"Come on, Raodin! I heard there's a profit visiting this village, let's go!"[/B] Zetta Alamance's cries fell on deaf ears. Her male companion sat, filling his face with [I]the[/I] most wonderful food he had ever tasted and he wasn't keen on stopping any time soon. The teenage girl sighed in exasperation and swept a few strands of grey hair from her pale face. [B]"Raodin, if I leave now you'll be made to pay the bill. I suggest you finish, let me pay....and we get the hell out of here!"[/B] The orange haired man looked shocked as he stared into his female companions face, [B]"You....you'd do that to me?" "Well, yes, now finish your food quickly."[/B] Zetta crossed her arms and sat back down, ignoring the hard stared from everyone else in the restaurant. Raodin rushed to finish his food and waited while Zetta paid the bill before he was dragged off to see this profit in the centre of town. The two arrived just as the middle-aged man had started talking, and they were shocked about what they heard. [B]"I have had a message from the Gods!"[/B] the man began, the usual introduction for any profit, [B]"There are two people in this town, two people that will deliver this wonderful town to ruins and disorder!"[/B] A gasp from the crowd and mutterings from gossip spreading housewives filled the gap between the profits statements. [B]"I have seen a girl, a girl with magick powers!"[/B] another gasp [B]"She will bring monsters who will....."[/B] at this point the crowd was hooked, the profit prepared for his grand finale as he started to shake, giving the effect of a seizure, [B]"The monsters...the monsters...they will...will....KILL YOU ALL!! Flee from evil, flee from the evil embodied in those two people!"[/B] with that finish, the man pointed a bony finger at Zetta and Raodin. After a pause that seemed to last an eternity, the crowd shouted and ran at the two travellers. "[B]What did we do?"[/B] Raodin shouted, already running for his life, Zetta not far behind him. [B]"I don't think that this is the time to think about that! Just run!!" ****[/B] O_o; There's the start, since everyone who signed up so far is a human, you will fit in somewhere in that town. Whether you be a beast tamer sneaking in to get some supplies or a travelling Shrine Maiden who came to see this profit, it doesn't matter. You need to be there and you'll either follow the crowd or you'll meet up with Quad and I later. If you're still confused...erm...you'll have to PM me sharpish because I'm not going to be around for much longer, heh. Have fun everyone, I hope this doesn't die before I come back, heh.

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=1]Ferth heard the shouts from his lounging spot in the courtyard. He grinned as he saw the otters march through the grand gates of the Abbey and jumped up to meet them. He smiled at Juniper and Gabby who gave him a thumbs up, banishing the worried looks from their faces. [B]"A'right, Ferth, my boy?"[/B] Skipper laughed, clapping Ferth on the back, knocking the wind from him. Ferth coughed and nodded, laughing. [B]"How was the journey?"[/B] Skipper sighed and shrugged, [B]"Same ol', same ol'. But how 'as it been at the Abbey?"[/B] Ferth looked worried and folded his arms, glancing over at the bare apple trees in the orchard. He missed picking those fruits; it was something he had always looked forward to each season. [B]"We'll figure out something, don't worry!"[/B] he smiled, looking over at Juniper, Gabby and Kinna. [B]"Ah, Kinna! Did you have a good time?"[/B] he smiled brightly, pulling Kinna into a tight hug. She nodded and smiled weakly, [B]"I've been practicing with my sling..."[/B] Ferth smiled and patted the young otter on the shoulder, [B]"Fantastic, why don't you show me?"[/B] with that he waved to the others and walked off with Kinna and her two friends towards the Abbey lake.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=1]Great everyone, your sign ups are wonderful ^_^ I have a bit of a problem though. I can't start this today because I'm going to a friend to stay over and I'm leaving to go to London on Sunday. So if I start it tomorrow then I won't be here for the first week of the RP. If I start this tomorrow, Quad would have to include my character, I hope that isn't a problem because I do want to start this off. Okay then, here's the cast: Quad- Raodin Mendalean (main male character/warrior) DragonBlood- Orthen Eistel (beast tamer) O-Ushi- Poldarn (Sorcerer) Ohkami- Aria Kaze (beast tamer) Kittychanann- Sable Lynksys (Shrine Maiden) Neuvoxetere- ??? (???) Methuselah- Zetta Almance (Sorceress) There we have it, if you still have any questions then PM me, sign ups are still open until tomorrow. Quad, if you will take responsibility of my character for a few days, then can you please PM me? Thanks. I'll post my sign up later; my mum is going to rip my head off if I don't get off the comp, lol. Okay, finally my sign up and when this is done, I'll start the thread. [B]Name:[/B] Zetta Almance [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Age:[/B] 17 [B]Race:[/B] Human [B]Appearance:[/B] Standing at only 5'6'', Zetta has a bit of a height complex. She can't stand it when anyone even mention her height (or lack thereof) and it's one of the very few things that gets her annoyed. When she casts magick, her eyes turn from blue to a cold white, with only her pupils showing. It's scary to say the least. She always wears the outfit in the picture (minus the wings, duh) [URL=http://www.psycko-hentai.de/grafix/gallery/bg53/ks_003.jpg]Zetta[/URL] [B]Personality:[/B] Zetta is a very clever person, but it doesn't usually reflect in the way she speaks. She sometimes rambles and says the most obvious or stupid things, usually embarrassing herself. She is pretty confident though and she isn?t afraid to speak her mind, the only poerson she gets nervous around is Raodin, even though he isn't sure why. She will always stand up for her friends and will take on any enemy, even if she knows she won't win. Zetta is always up for a challenge and loves to learn more about ancient magick and races, she'll go to almost any means to get what she wants.... it?s that kind of thing that usually puts her in a very bad situation. [B]Class:[/B] Sorceress [B]Weapon:[/B] A simple wooden staff with ancient runes calved into it, the grip is dark brown leather and the wood is stained black. There is a clear jewel at the end of the staff that changes colour when Zetta casts a spell. [B]Magic:[/B] Zetta knows mostly Black Magic spells and has mastered even some of the most powerful. She knows hardly and Spirit magic and doesn't like using it. She can't cast and White Magic spells at all. I've just noticed that we don't have any monsters >_< I'd really like at least one so if anyone else signs up could you be a monster? Neuvoxetere excluded, you can still pick. If anyone would take on a role of a monster I'd appreciate it, at least until I come back because we need a main enemy. Thanks a lot guys, sign ups are still open for [B]monsters or dragons[/B] only![/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=1][B]Slayers Next[/B] hands down is my all time favourite. Plus the fact I'm in love with the theme tune, Give a Reason, the energy that comes from the characters is amazing. Sure, Slayers isn't the best animated anime around, but I still smile everytime I watch the OP on my DVDs. The one thing that I don't really like about the OP though, like Dagger mentioned before, the quick flashes. Slayers does it for all the characters but it's just a bit too fast for my liking and I find myslef not knowing what's going on. [B]Outlaw Star's[/B] OP is pretty good too, the song is amazing and the animation and movement really seems to draw me in. Of course, I may just be amused easily, heh heh. I may add more as I discover new anime, lol.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
