[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B] We have that kind of class system, too, back in highschool. Welp, school's been quiet. And it isn't supposed to be. So I want to know if anybody's going to post anything about PE and Hair & Beauty. If no one will, I want to ask permission to post for Creative Writing, which is 4 hours ahead of the current time ...to get the story moving. ^_^[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='The F-Bomb]As for Dragon Ball and it's sequels, I really don't think they're [I]that[/I'] bad. The only real problem is its longevity, which is due mostly in part to its slow pace. It usually takes 10 episodes for the show to get anywhere, but at least I'm interested during those episodes... At least for the first time I watch them.[/quote] [COLOR=RoyalBlue][B][SIZE=1] That's probably true. Dragon Ball Z/GT is not entirely bad. It's just too long for some people to actually watch all the episodes. I admit I didn't watch everything but for the most part that I did, I enjoyed it. (thinks of the fat Majinbu or whatever the name's spelled =B) And Astro Boy is not the worst either. I totally thought it sucked, too, just by seeing the quality of animation (think long noses). Now I've only seen an episode and it is a good one. It's dramatic and touching...so let's not judge an anime only by the way it's drawn. I don't have any worse animes to contribute on this thread since I wouldn't know for sure if they're bad... because if I don't like it, I don't watch it... so I don't have the right to say they're bad. ^_~[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]I saw the movie "Interview with the Vampire" and "The Queen of the Damned" and but I've only read the former (because I'm spending my money on some other more entertaining stuff, heh). All I can say is, Anne Rice do tend to ramble too much on loads of details but I also think that its a good thing to some people, like me, who wants to imagine clear views of the scnerios in a book. But yes, It can be pretty tiring to read paragraphs of details and adjectives and I admit that I lose my focus sometimes as I read her book. ^_^; I am really amazed at how Anne Rice envisioned the lives of vampires. I think she made them very unique and a lot more sophisticated than the usual vampire we see on cartoons and other TV programs. And it's funny how I get so mixed up trying to think how her vampires show so much desire for blood like how humans crave for sex. And sometimes, I wonder how she differentiates the desires of vampires for blood and sex... or maybe vampires don't have sexual desires. O.o I've only read one book so I have a lot of questions. ^_^[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Calvin and Hobbes is a really cool comic that I can never get enough of the witty dialogues and every thing else that's just plain humorous. Calvin is one amazing character. His mere facial expressions can make me laugh. He's realistic and frank with his views and, at the same time, has an overactive imagination that ranges from social observations to simple, childish and fun "alter-egos". I personally love Stupendous Man, Spaceman Spiff, and Tracer Bullet. ^_^ He?s got the mind of a child and the sense of a genius. Most of all, I envy how carefree he is and how he enjoys his childhood. He gets to do loads of fun craps that I never got to do when I was 8 like? hammer nails on the table and... call someone a booger brain. Yes, I've never called someone a booger brain. Sad.. [COLOR=Purple]"I call it 'lookout' hill because that's what you yell whenever we go down it." - Calvin[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='PNK']I also sympathize with heVn's stance in that you are just 14 and you should try different religions before you come to a stop on one.[/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=RoyalBlue][B]Lol. I would just like to clear a thing. I never said you should try different religions. Forgive me if I'm wrong, PNK, but I assume that 'try' means going from one religion to the next. Maybe the more appropriate word should've been 'to study' other religions. Yes, study other religions first before you settle for the one that will help you develop your spiritual life.[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Lol. I totally forgot about the ratings, heh. My sign-up was too mature I guess. Sorry about that. ^_~ And yesh, that's a nice tip. I always doubt whether to put numbers or words in my writings. It's good that I got in anyway. ^_~ [COLOR=Purple]EDIT: I got bored of my own writing as well, heh. It could've been longer, mind you. I just restrained myself. You asked for history and I gave only a post for it, lol. ^_~[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Lovely death. I rarely come across stories like this because I'm not a fan of death themes but I must say I truly enjoyed this one. I find it amazing how you work around verbs and adjectives, id est: [COLOR=Purple]"Great streams of crimson black liquid poured from his side to stain the dark earth around him, running through the rivulets and cracks in his armour in a valiant effort to escape."[/COLOR] That was just beautiful. ^_^ "Ignorant Fools" is also a good title but the "The Death of a Warrior" part is a little unimpressive to me. Other than that, Raven died in a picturesque death.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Your avatar just proved that you are a lousy Christian, lol. *is sarcastic* Anyway, you are truly in a difficult situation. Moving from one religion to another (when you're 14) is like going from straight to gay. Both are not easy to deal with when family should be considered. I, for one, am torn between two religions. My mother is a Born Again Christian and my dad is Catholic. I grew up attending two churches every Sunday and have spent 20 years of my life deciding which religion I will choose... while the two parties endlessly strive to get me to their side. I'm assuming that your faith in Christianity is weak that's why this thing happened. Now if you believe that your faith in Buddhism is that strong already, then by all means you should do whatever it takes to freely exercise that faith in your home. Mind you, relationships might be sacrificed. When your mother said that you'll be a Christian until you're out of the house, she means it. And it will take several heated arguments before everything is in order. It's up to you to wait until you get out of the house or fight for what you believe in. eternity was right; religion is just a guide towards spiritual bliss. What's important is how strong your faith is. It took me 20 years studying two religions and I preferred belonging to neither of the two but I still believe and have faith in God (never told my parents yet coz I'm afraid of confrontations ^_^;). You've been Buddhist for two months (were you baptized without your parent's consent?), and there is a possibility that you'll be in another religion someday. Now you're just 14. The age where adolescents start to build their own identity and identify what they want. I suggest that you carefully know what you're getting into first.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Gods, elements, stones/orbs, and the like, are always the basic components of a medieval/Final Fantasy sort of RPG. Though it's a nice idea to include the orcs and the elves to the story, I think they are still common ingredients that a lot of people already utilized. The problem with this type of RPG is that it has been created over and over again that most really got bored of the same concept and plot. Most people want a very good, unique, and catchy twist with it. Fresh and new are the words that should describe your RP. You could try introducing something new so you can attract participants. A possible candidate for an innovative RPG of this type would be Dragon Warrior's Once Upon A Legend. In OUAL, DW didn't stick with the usual gods and elements but, rather, made a whole new concept for a medieval themed RPG. He made the Mares, the Symerals, the Rings, and a few modern world touches while still having some of the essentials, swords and tunics. ^_~[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]I was actually waiting for the PE and Hair and Beauty classes before I post anything for my own class (Creative Writing). I don't know if I should wait for someone to post anything about those classes or if I should just post anyway. But yesh, Arcadia's right. I guess members think it will be too aggressive to handle a certain class on their own. ^_^; [/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='ScirosDarkblade']Just tell them that watching something because it has a Christian message in it is stupid.[/quote] [B][SIZE=1][COLOR=RoyalBlue]This meaning of this statement is unclear to me. Is this suppose to be a general statement? The 'stupid' word is kind of harsh. Or you could reconstruct the sentence to make your point.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [quote name='ScirosDarkblade]It would be watching anime for the sake of watching anime. Unless there's a series that is in other regards [i]good[/i'] as well, then fine. But otherwise, I don't see the point.[/quote] [COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]I think we are all entitled to watch anime for our own personal reasons ^_~ To Sosogomi's question: There might be only a few animes that have Christian messages but if you google 'Christian Anime', you can see loads of reviews regarding Animes in the Christian aspect. Some sites may even contain information that you could show to your friends' parents. There really are a lot of online Christian communities/forums who talk about anime ^_^[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Okiedokie, you really got me interested with the first few lines about the boy but the rest of the paragraph seems 'hurried'. It's like you threw all information and made your point as briefly as possible. Now there is really nothing wrong with that. But I think a good introduction should be well-written and well-thought of because the quality of an introductory post determines how good an RPG will or is expected to be. It should somehow make the impression that you are attracting or convincing people to join the RPG. As of now, I think you are too concentrated on the story that the art of writing is left out. I suggest that you take time in stating/elaborating the story more creatively and as Ruby said, give more attention to detail. You could try giving a little more personality/history for the characters so there would be a basis for the sign-ups and members would be challenged more.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B][COLOR=Purple]1. What was the first anime movie, series or OVA you ever watched?[/COLOR] That would be Sailormoon ^_~. I saw it's first episode airing on a local channel when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I totally loved it and vowed to not miss any episode... but I eventually did. I never finished it because it was so long. V.V Then I found some toys lying around the house, given by my cousin's from Japan, and discovered that they were Sailormoon goodies. Imagine how happy I was, lol. Also, it was because of anime that my drawing skills bloomed. I remember calling it a 'Japanese cartoon' before since the word 'anime' wasn't invented yet and my friends were like O.o when I talk about it. That's probably the reason why I hid my love for anime until YuYu Hakusho became famous and anime eventually was loved by all. [COLOR=Purple]2. Do you feel that time has made you more picky about the titles which you like and/or choose to buy?[/COLOR] Oh yes, definitely. I now settle for good animation, humor and interesting plot. Good animation is a must for me. If it's bad, I'll probably only see it for the humor or the plot. If it's good, I'll see it depending on the plot. Bishies are not a plus. I may like the character because he's drool and swoon worthy but if he comes along with a really boring anime, the farthest he can go is in my avatar/banner/fanfic. I don't buy anything though. [COLOR=Purple]3. If you had watched some of your current favorite shows when you first got into anime, would you have been able to appreciate them as much as you do now?[/COLOR] Hmm... let's just say that Sailormoon will always have a special, ignored place in my heart.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Moon is Zhang Ziyi. The same Zhang Ziyi who played Jen Yu in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". ^_~[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Grrr... I hate it when people do that "I had to leave and I can't tell you why" drama. It happened so many times in real and unreal life. But I guess it's an unbeatable fact that things like this just had to happen. Hmm... this is good stuff. There are loads of stories similar to this though, so I wanna see how well you can make this a lot more distinguishable from all others. I can actually make up a lot of stories for this introduction, like the guy's sick and he's dying or there's some schocking third part or maybe by the time the guy goes back to the girl it's too late already and... :modrod: Uhh, yeah ^_^; I suggest making a good twist for this. It's genius that you made a good introduction that is vulnerable to a lot of different outcomes.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]I read it about 3 times, heh. It's nice. A few things that really don't matter much but I just had to say. [COLOR=Purple]"But Now My Love Is Gone The Love Has Disappeared"[/COLOR] Throwing that second line seems to be redundant as it says the same meaning as the first. [COLOR=Purple]"Say Those Words I Long To Hear Say Them Loud And Clear Because If I Don't Hear Them Before Midnight My Life, Soul, Spirit.....Disapper"[/COLOR] Ok, it seems like you can't think of a shorter version for the third line. When I read this verse out loud, I stopped thinking about that line. It really sounds off because it has so many syllables compared to the rest of the verse's/poem's lines. And uh, did you intentionally capitalized every word's first letters? Coz every line seems like a title. ^_^; And yeah, that's about it. Really doesn't matter much. It's a very emotional poem by the way. Emotional in a good way ^_^.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[CENTER]Spade 2: Ava Faladir 26, Female ~ Appearance ~ Standing at 5'6'', Ava has a slender but firm form. Her body is light, allowing her to move around silently and fast enough to carry out vigorous activities. Her gray hair is tied up messily in a loop held by two old beaded/gypsy-styled strings. Despite the strands of hair falling down on her pretty but strong face,  several trinkets on her earlobes are is still visible. This consists of a pair of earrings, designed with two leather strings each and a red bead hanging on all of the four strings' ends, and three small hoops all sitting on her right lobe. Another leather string looped several times around her neck carries a uniquely designed ring to ward off the Mares. A very distinct feature that she is known for are her eyes that resemble the color of her Kalenbore robe. Her eyes are similar to scarlet crystal orbs that when gazed upon, one would think that he can actually see right through her soul. ~ Weapons ~ A spiked black pad guards her left shoulder while her arms are each protected by a ragged armguard that extends to an open glove, allowing her to freely move her fingers. Just like all Spades, Ava uses and is well versed with a sword. Her sword was owned by a comrade who passed away when she was 21. It is of medium weight and it hanged steadily on her back. Her gun, which all Spades uses too, is set on a sheath around her waist. Though she rarely use it, she is good at aiming at a moving target. A weapon that not all Spades utilize is her own leather string which acts like a whip. The end of it is solidly tied in her right wrist and the rest of it is folded and kept in a customized pouch she made on her armguard. ~ History ~ It was raining on the night when I awoke and found myself on a corner outside a bar in Kalenbore when I was seven, with only my worn-out clothing and a necklace with a pendant ring hanging on my neck. I felt tired, hungry, and worst of all, alone. I was no fool though. For my age I am well aware of what happened.~ ~ ~Some drunk scoundrels broke into our house for fun and shot my father right on his forehead. One guy grabbed me and two others got my mom. In front of my eyes, they stripped and violated her. Heh, that word is too gentle. I say they tore her clothes and raped her. My mother was crying and shouting like her soul is being ripped off, so they punched her anywhere every now and then. I was crying and shaking the whole time but I didn't know what to do.When they were done with her I heard one of them say, "Your daughter is a fresh piece of meat.", then they all cackled like the devil. I knew what was going to happen because my mom started to cry ever more loudly and beg for them not to touch me. I've never been so scared in my life. They were going to rape me too. That is why when my mother started fighting back, I did so too. I bit hard on the hands around me until I felt like my teeth were bleeding. Then I grabbed and dug my nails deep into his face causing him to let me go. Everything was in chaos when I tried to run. My mother covered me and did everything for my free getaway. I ran and ran until my feet hurt that I can run no more. When I stopped, I found it hard to breath, then I passed out.~ ~ ~So I am well aware of my past, the only problem then was where to go and how to live. I tried going back to our house, which was by the way, near the town of Kalenbore, but found nothing but ashes and a burned down house. My mother was not there, I know she lived though, for I heard one of them randomly say, "The boss will be happy to see you". Besides, her body was nowhere to be seen.I went back to Kalenbore and lived as a pauper and a rascal little kid, occasionally stealing food and being sent on errands by random people in exchange for money or food. The fact that I'm a girl doesn't even count on how difficult an errand would be. I was a strong kid for a seven year old they say. And that is true. I have learned early to be tough, my father taught me that. And I know he would've been proud to see me not crying in a corner and killing myself of hunger.~ ~ ~Someone woke me up one day when I was 13. Apparently, I slept in a group of thieves' wagon and they didn't found me until they rested from their travel. Since we were miles away from Kalenbore and their leader, Gaya, wasn't a man who would take on an innocent's life, they took me in. The usual happened, they sent me to errands, I served them, polished their weapons and even helped with their thievery, then they fed me.I had a fun and close relationship with Gaya though. He treated me fair enough so I have really high respect for him. I knew he was fascinated by my tough demeanor because he taught me a lot. Anything I need to learn about life, people, and fighting I got from him. I it's tough like me.~ ~ ~I stayed with them until I was 21 and I became his right hand. I'm not an ungrateful twit if that's what you're thinking. I didn't leave them, they all died... in the hands of the Spades. I was too late to come to their rescue so the guilt that it was my fault still haunts me. I had a short conversation with Gaya before he died on my hands. He gave me his sword, the one I'm carrying with me right now. He told me to stay tough but still be true to my heart. I really didn't give his words much thought then because I was crying, like how I cried the moment my father died.Right after he died and while I'm crying, Spade 1 pointed the tip of his sword on my chin and moved my head to look at him. He looked at me for a long time and smiled mischievously. He told me he'd spare my life but I was to join them and the moment that I betray him, he'll put an end to my life. I eventually knew he liked me for my looks and my skills. And so began my dreadful days with the Spades. Of course I tried to run away but I was never successful. Why? Because I learned that the Spades were powerful... and Spade 1 is the most powerful. I made my way to become Spade 2 though, learning how to kill ruthlessly on the way, but I could never beat Spade 1. And I don't have any plans when I would beat him, and when I would leave the Spades and be free. I don't have any plans right now. Everything is up to the man above me. I should obey him and make him rule my life until I gather up my guts and fight back. Not now though.But I still have a goal in my life and that is to find my mother. I know she's alive, somewhere.Serious? Yes, I may seem like a very serious person. But only my parents and Gaya know how much of a carefree soul would die to get out of this killer facade.Hn? What about [name of Noah's friend]? Well, I'd have to kill you after I give any of my thoughts on him to you...On the other hand, now that you've known this much, I can kill you already. For no one lives to tell my story.^_~ [COLOR=Purple][SIZE=1][B]Whew! I'm telling you this is my longest sign up ever! ^_~[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [/CENTER]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B][COLOR=Purple]September 6 4.21am[/COLOR] A trail of small and fluffy white clouds floated above Ken?s head. It led to a bigger cloud that showed random blurry images of noisy pixies flying around and a blue-braided boy charging a fireball at his door. Ken?s sleeping face twitched every now and then as earlier events that night haunted him in his dreams. ~~~~~~~ [COLOR=Purple]September 7 4.21am[/COLOR] [COLOR=SeaGreen][I]*MECHAMECHAAA KURUSHII KABE DATTE FUI NI NAZE KA?*[/I][/COLOR] Poof! [COLOR=SeaGreen][I]*BUCHIKOWASU YUUKI TO POWER WAITE KURU NO WAAAA*[/I][/COLOR] ?I?ll get you Kagushiiii!!!!? [COLOR=SeaGreen][I]*MECHAMECHA KIBISHII HITOTACHI GA FUI NI MISETA*[/I][/COLOR] ?@#$%!? [COLOR=SeaGreen][I]*YASASHISA NO SEI DATTARI SUR UN DAROU NEEE!!!*[/I] [I]*A-RI-GA-TO-U GO-ZA-IIII-MASU!!*[/I][/COLOR] The clouds dissolved with a poof as the sound-sensitive professor was awakened from his nightmare by a Japanese singing cat known to him as his beloved alarm clock. ?What the?? Not again?? Apparently, Ken didn?t have to be too appalled because of the untimely warning of his timepiece. A Yuyu Hakusho song played by his anti-time-messing clock only meant one thing. Time?s been muddled with either forward or backward. He looked at the clock as it automatically held up a picket sign and nodded in disagreement. It read 'September 7, First Day of School'. Ranting, he turned off his other clock and started making his bed. "Damn Okari... can't stop his evil pyramidal-shaped hands from messing up with time. He's well aware that un-replay-able television shows will be missed, today's newspapers will be left blank because nothing happened yesterday or... yesterday's supposed day, September 6 birthday celebrants' parties are wasted, not to mention that chickens will... and I haven't even planned my lecture for Creative Writing!" Professor Ken cussed as he prepared himself for the day. He started off with his daily routine of taking an hour-long solemn bath, this time, thinking of a plan to make a 'Teacher's Association against the Time-Meddling and Virus-Spreading Principal of Tokyo Academy , Gondo Okari!' (TATMAVSPOTA, GO!) ~~~~~~~ [COLOR=Purple]OOC: Yeah, I know. Long senseless abbreviation. But any association should have one![/COLOR] [/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]You can actually ask James or Charles if you want to change your username here in Otakuboards. I don't know about myOtaku though. I guess you can delete your account and create another one if you're not too sentimental with your myOtaku posts ^_^ And I don't think posts should be lengthy to say that it has quality. It just have to be sensible ^_~[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]I've ranted about this in myOtaku a few weeks ago when the Underground does not exist yet. I finally got my head off of it because I learnt some things. With regards to '1 decent RP' vs. '10 awful ones being compared with Kill Adam', it's really a matter of [U]choice[/U] for new or old members. Like someone said earlier in this thread, some members do settle for the less-complicated RPGs and a lot of those are new members. Kill Adam, hero and the like (made mostly by older members) can be pretty intimidating to some RPers especially to those who are starting out. Some of them, though their writing has developed, still settle for less simply because they enjoy it. Kane described Kill Adam as having 'phenomenal' quality. Yes it does. That makes it even more intimidating and more perplexed that some enjoys reading it instead of joining it. Just imagine the Arena containing only or a lot of Kill Adam type of RPs. Where does that leave those new members who wants a simple Megaman or Inuyasha RP? So as in the case of Wingnut Ninja and a lot of other members, it really is a matter of choice, he likes Mario (video game based RPs), some like Inuyasha (anime based RPs), while others like a different kind of stuff. I've seen long, well-thought, quality RPs that doesn't even make it in the Arena because it lacks recruits and probably because members don't like the idea at all. Some RPs, though simple, get recruits. Why? Because members enjoy it. So why fuss when people enjoy? As for quality, I say don't join an RP if it's not your preferred quality, report a bad post to help the moderators and/or leave them to do their job of closing threads and reminding people of the rules of OB. It's their job anyway.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]That'd be cool. I'm too busy to create an RPG on my own so might as well, sort of, co-create one. Just contact me through PM or AIM ayt? By the way, James' ideas are really wacky ^_~[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Aw, man. Seems like every RPG idea I have put off are being taken already. Anyway, it seems like a great idea and if the plot you're going to surprise us is enough to make it more interesting then I say go for it. Like DW said, walking around and partying is not good enough because it will seem redundant if people will write about almost the same stuff over and over again. So maybe you should have a major plot instead of those 'few plot twist here and there'. The graphics idea is really good too and should be used by more RP-ers. It doesn't matter if the graphics you use are simple or elaborate. Anything will do just to make your RP a little different from others. In your case, since it's a beach setting, graphics should be an exciting part of it because it adds up to the zesty feeling of being in a resort. In a nutshell, this should be really fun given a creative approach and a cool plot with a very unique twist. Geez, having said that I really envy you for announcing this idea before I did. I now have a clear picture of what the graphics and HTML should look like. ^_~[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]The original Exorcist is indeed scary. If you are someone who lived in the 1970s you'll find it downright disturbing because of its horrifying images that will stick in your mind whenever you hear the word 'Exorcist'. Linda Blair's acting was extremely good for someone so young. I recommend you seeing the first film. You'll never regret it. I'm not sure about the second though. Few remakes/sequels, or this time it's 'prequel', outmatch their predecessors but, hey, the year is 2004 and more and more sequels are becoming successful nowadays. And I saw the site and it looks good so I guess I'll see it. ^_~[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]
