Lord Dante

Dante strode into his quarters, slamming the door behind him. "and thus, more is revealed. This new vision of Geni's is troubling indeed...." Dante whispered to himself as he sat down in his chiar, a great thronelike chair of black iron. Dante reached for his neck, and grasped a thin chain that was hidden underneath hiis cloak, hefting it up, he could read the writing on a small plate of metal attatched to the end. "Psytech 0010 Keitaro" Dante read to himself as he stared at the metal plate "could this have anyting to do with The countess' new memory flash?" Dante sat back down, and pondered far into the night.

An item of great sentimental value to me is my knife. It was passed down to me by my grandfather (who got it from his grandfather). it is mostly ornimental, but still retains some of it's old sharpness. Another item of sentimental value is my family's coat of arms.

Are you including GCSE marks in this thread? If so, they come out next week, and it's driving me round the bend. I know the gcse is not as important as the A level, but still, it is an examination nonetheless. I have absolutely no idea how well i've done, and i nead at least 6 B grades to get into my chosen college.

[B]"To suceed in life, my son. You have to be prepared to kick a few people in the balls."[/B] ~ this one comes from a friend of mine's grandfather. It makes me laugh because in some cases it seems to be true.

The most maddening cliffhanger i've ever come across (so far) is probably the end of episode 5 of the tenchi muyo OVA's "kagato attacks". [SPOILER]Tenchi is in the assimilated ryu-oh, attempting to open the Light-Hawk wings in order to attack the soja, as ryo-ohki is suffering under heavy fire. Soja's weapon overpowers the light-hawk wings attack, and ryu-oh is obliterated. ryoko escapes the soja, only to find the cloth that tenchi wore around his head, stained with blood. *credits roll*[/SPOILER] As the delivery of the other two DVD's was delayed due to stock shortage, i was tearing my hair out (literally) over not knowing what happened.

[B]Before you judge someone too harshly, walk a mile in their shoes. - Then you'll be a mile away and have their shoes!![/B] This i got from a friend of mine. Made I laugh. (more to come as soon as i can remember some)

[B]code name/call sign:[/B] Wrath [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Location:[/B] Constantly Changing [B]Age:[/B] 50? (no-one really knows) [B]Personal Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/l/a/laurac/lestat.jpg.html][Click][/URL] Wrath Stands at around 6'1". He has a lean build with pasty, pale skin, His shining white-golden hair reaches to just beyond his shoulders. Wrath favors wearing either loose, baggy pristine white clothes (pictured) or complete black. [B]Personality/behaviour:[/B] Wrath is a headstrong individual, hardly ever diverting from his chosen course of action. Having grown up among the aristocracy, a strong sense of order, abiding by (or at least appearing on the surface to be) the laws of whichever country he is in ruthlessly. However, the aristocracy also instilled in wrath a deep Contempt for those he perceives to be weaker or of lower stature than himself - (Wrath tries to fight this. reasons why are in his personal history) [B]Personal History:[/B] Wrath was born as Lestat dra'kul into an English Aristocratic family. In his early years, wrath's parents drilled into him that he was above the mass population. Convinced him that being an aristocrat was one step less than divinity. For a long time Lestat believed this, and worked alongside his father, furthering the family's business (collecting and selling rare items/artefacts) Until one day. Lestat overheard his parents talking. "The boy is coming along nicely. almost a complete sociopath" (father's voice) "I can't believe you're going through with this ridiculous plan of yours, I mean he's your son!" (mother's voice) "That is immetirial! we are going to need a new leader for "schwarzkreuz" soon. I cannot live forever..." (Father's voice) "I know that... but still. why must it be him?" (mother's voice) "Because I can trust no-one anymore. even those of the sacred order. The onlything still keeping us together is a strong leader. My influence is waning..." (father's voice) "why can't we just give it up? many people are no-longer aware of our existance. They beleve that we ceased to exist 666 years ago. We are no closer to accheiving our goal..." (mother's voice) There was a fleeting pause, and then the sickening sound of a fist on flesh. A few harsh words muttered in a language lestat couldn't understand. And then silence. Lestat wandered away to his quarters, his mind reeling. Was he just a pawn in some game of his father's? Lestat, having lost all belief in his father and the aristocracy, set out to ruin his father, and discover anything he could about the "schwarzkreuz" that he had heard about. Lestat began with his father's buisness. At first, lestat just fiddled with the books, paying more than his father would authorise for artefacts. lestat's meddling subtly grew for years, siphoning off funds and gazumping artifacts for his own "buisness". One day, a bedraggled old man, clearly nering the cusp of life brought an item to sell to Lestat. Handing the box over, the man began to talk in a language Lestat Didn't recognise. The only words he could make out were "blood" and "curse". Lestat paid the mumbled words no heed. Earlier that day, Lestat had lacerated his finger - It hadn't quite healed. He opened the box the man had given him. Inside were three small gems. Blood-red and voidlike black melded into one horrifying color. Drawn into their terrifying presence, lestat went to pick one up. A droplet of blood fell from his lacerated finger. What happens next is not known. Lestat was never seen again. ([B]OOC:[/B] The gems meld into his wrists and forehead) [B]Special skills/abilities:[/B] Wrath has the ability to meld into shadow. he can freely travel between areas of shadow, and is able to completely dissapear in darkness, (wrath can hide anywhere where there is a shadow, if there is more than one shadow, he can travel between them) The gems' supposed power also gives wrath the ability to manipulate energy, turning pure, raw energy into whatever he choses (most often a shaft of energy, used as a blade, or a ball of energy, used as a projectile. but almost anything is possible) Wrath's abilities however have a mjor setback, they are fueled by blood. Wrath must sate his bloodthirst in order to utilise his abilities, and so must prey on the living. [B]Expected Otaku thread rating:[/B] Most likely M [B]Player availability:[/B] At the very least, twice a week. ([B]OOC:[/B] Sorry it's not better, but this is the best i can think of at the moment.)

[QUOTE]On the after thought, the only thing that really stumps me is how stupid annoying ol' Kaola got so far. How anyone can like a character that annoyingly wierd and energetic is beyond me. She needs to be tied together with Ed from Bebop in barbed wire and left to bleed to death.[/QUOTE] Heh heh heh. this was probably the funniest thing about the tournament, it made the whole thing really enjoyable to take part in - especially watching your mounting frustration as Kaolla advanced further.

"fine, if nothing's going to be done tonight, I'll do it myself!" Dante Half-yelled, more to himself than anyone else as the carriage pulled away. "milord, do you think that is wise?" The countess geni answered. Dante rounded on her, his eyes wild. "there's an Assasin out there, he's getting in the way of me finding out what the hell's going on!!" Dante turned his back, and breathed deeply. "I'm afraid I must apologise, if you wish to come with me, then take my hand" Geni grasped dante's hand. they stood for a fleeting instant, and then they were gone.

[quote name='Baron Samedi][size=1']Solo hasn't been staff for quite some while now, I believe.[/size][/quote] Are you talking about solo tremaine? Because I thought he was team leader of [B] team miyazaki[/B]

You want strange food? try this: Throw: 3 bagels a cooked salmon steak 3 bags of potato chips (all different flavors [works best with salted, salt and vinegar and prawn cocktail]) a can of sardines three cans of pepsi half a jar of branston pickle a generous squirt of mustard a generous squirt of ketchup a packet of trebor extra strong mints three pitta breads a cooked steak a cooked pork chop three leftover slices of pizza a can of stella artois three bars of chocolate three whole red chillies (seeds intact) a squirt of triyaki marinade a whole lemon a can of tuna a bowl of cooked rice a friji bannana milkshake and three slices of wholemeal bread into a large blender. purify it untill it is a thick liquidy-paste, then pour it into a hot deep fat frier. proceed to eat. my friends and I made this last summer. One of my friends bet me £30 that I couldn't eat it. I ate it, and walked away with the £30. I didn't feel quite so good afterwards though.... :(

Casting my vote for Asuka. Over all of the past rounds I have never had a good reason for voting for a partcular character... So I don't see why I should change now!! :D Joking aside, I cast my vote for asuka a) because I've never seen elfen leid (unfortunately) and b) psychomode pilot of unit 02 really makes me laugh.

Dante pushed through the throng of people crushing in towards the dias, looking for any sign of the attacker. "Blast it, The bastard's gone" dante muttered to himself, his maddening raptor glare scanning the room. For a fleeting moment dante caught a glimpse of Countess Geni standing amongst the croud. Her feet collapsed under her as she fainted. In the blink of an eye, Dante vanished. Out of thin air, dante materialised outside of the building, holding the countess Geni. "We've got to find shelter, and figure out what's going on" dante though to himself as he walked into the night.

Dante stood alone on the balcony, going over what had just happened. "that woman spoke into my mind, at first I was surprised. Me, surprised by someone speaking into my mind, a man of my [I]talents[/I]. I guess it has been too long." Dante thought to himself as he drained the last of the wine from his goblet. AS dante walked through the doors back into the ballroom, he could see the countess Geniveve waltzing with her next partner. "fool" dante whispered to himself, the man clearly could not notice the intense blue aura around her. Dante Gripped his hand tightly inside his cloak, holding his concealed sword. "this night will not end peacefully, i know it"

Dante caught the goblet of wine, frowning suspiciously at the newcomer. "who are you?" dante asked. the newcomer dropped into a curtsey, mainly out of habit dante mused to himself. " I am The Dutchess Eclair, milord." she said, walking slowly toward Dante and Geni. Dante turned to the two women. "I think something is going to or is meant to hapen to those of us with read auras. But i'm not completely sure. when I was in there" Dante gestured to the ballroom "I had a vision, kind of like a snippet of a memory. Something about those with a blue aura and those with a red aura. Something about "to kill..". Anyway. I think we need to find us some more people with the Auras" Dante's hand unconciously glided to his concealed sword.

I'll go with Star ocean, as I haven't played any of the others. Star ocean was a worthwhile way to waste my time, as it is plenty long enough, and has sort of anime-ish style art. the battle system is quite interesting too.

"I know that I know you. I know we are not who we appear to be. you must know something" Dante thought as he swirled the countess across the hall in a waltz. [I]"I know no more than you do, I swear it m'lord"[/I] "That as may be, but I have an inkling that all is not well" [I]"what do you mean?"[/I] "I don't know, but I am sure that something isn't quite right. I've been seeing people bathed in blue auras recently,and a few bathed in red." Dante staggred to a halt, clutching his head. [I] Sent... with a blue aura..... to... to kil.... to kill... with a red aura[/I]

Ah I see. The others don't follow on from the OVA at all, they just show alternate views of the characters. I need to do some indipendent reserch on this now, and its a shame that only the OVA is available in england.

Would anyone mind telling me what guild wars is? It sounds like a good game (going by the name), but i need some information on it, and also if i can play it on a slow dialup connection. I apologise if i defer from the flow of this thread.

[QUOTE=Retribution][SIZE=1] An MMORPG is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. It means people can walk around inside a virtual world and see other users online doing the same. Very cool stuff. A clan is usually an organization within an MMORPG for protection and benefits. You have a clan to help you out in the game for leveling up, going on quests, getting items, and having a group of friends to hang with. Hoped that helped.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] Ok, that helped. First of all, how do MMORPG's work, and can you suggest some?

meh. I'll cast a vote for Rei. as i've said before (well, as solo has said before, i merely agreed) It's the hair.. and the eyes XD I've got nothing against nyu, but i haven't seen elfen leid, so i can't pass comment.

Hmph. Even after kicking out Kaolla in round 3. my vote goes to Asuka. Because i never really paid much attention to sailor moon, and also because Asuka is a reasonably good character. (despite the fact that she kicked kaolla out :grumble: ) Anyway, one more vote to Asuka

I'm a complete and utter newbie to online gaming, so could someone please tell me what an MMORPG and a "clan" is?

Recently I purcaced an old PS2 game called "Robot Warlords", and I must say, I was quite Impressed. It is a turn based strategy-type game in which you use giant customisable mechs like game pieeces. I was wonedering if anyone else has played this, and if so what did you think of it?

The sew skin is truely masterful, I must say that whoever made It is a graphic genius. *bows to James (I think it was he that made it?)*
