[quote name='Hayama']LOL, SAT's suck and now you have to write on them too! Good luck with that and don't worry, the RP's not going to disappear. :catgirl:[/quote] I'm not worried about the writing. ^^ It's the math that I have to embed into my brain... Ach. So...Can we start Rping yet? ^^

I'll try to post tonight, but I have an SAT Prep class, so I might end up posting tomorrow afternoon. My character will be in the city, looking for someplace where she can find work. she's a motivated little thing. XD

[QUOTE=Maiya Asuka][size=2][color=#cc0000][font=Times New Roman]Good grief, that was an awesome show. Invader Zim is probably the only American animation that I would seriously watch (minus Family Guy and Futurama) and I can't believe it got canceled. I wonder why it did get canceled anyway... O_o [b][u]EDIT:[/u][/b] I stand corrected; perhaps it was, indeed, originally a Japanese animation. I'm not sure if somebody in this thread already mentioned this, but lots of sources tell me that Invader Zim was inspired by that anime we all (most of us) know and love: FLCL / Fooly Cooly. Or maybe it was the other way around... but yes, I'm pretty sure that IZ was inspired by FLCL. I find it quite exciting that my favorite American cartoon was bred from one of my favorite anime. ^_^' I've no idea why such a show would be canceled, I mean nothing that I can remember was that offensive, even for the children's channel [b]Nickelodeon[/b]... but maybe I could find DVD's of it somewhere. ♪ [Insert "The Doom Song" Here] ♪[/color][/size][/font][/QUOTE] It was cancelled because it was expensive. And no, Invader Zim is in no way Japanese. Its style is its own, the style of Jhonen Vasquez, the creator. It was not inspired by an anime, given that an employee for Nickelodeon tracked him down after reading one of his comics, SQUEE and she said that she liked his style, and proposed a show to him. Zim, before the show was created, could be seen on posters in SQUEE! Like I've said before... It's not an anime, and the creater never wished to draw anything that people considered "anime-y", so to quote.

[B]Name:[/B] Coriander Ayres [B]Age: [/B] 24 [B]Race:[/B] Acerbus Ventus (A humanoid species characterized by long, cat-like ears. The top of the ears range in different colors, including those unnatural for humans, but they always bear black spots. The bottom half is covered by a layer of thin grey fur. Acerbus Ventus are, more often than not, shorter than the average height of a human and they contain an affinity for spell-casting. Although, if one were to train enough, they would be able to manage as a swordsman.) [B]Back-story:[/B] Coriander grew up as an only child with both of her parents, in a small house on the outskirts of the main city. Both parents were cleric, so she was trained as one?the way her parents spent their childhood?and expected to become one. She, however, was not so keen on the idea. Although she put up with the training, healing was not her first pick for what her future path would be. Clerics were always physically weak, and her species would put even more of a restraint on how strong she could be. Her skills as a cleric are very well-polished, but that is not nearly enough for her. Coriander seeks a way to hold power and claim it as her own and she sees acquiring the other half of the mirror as the only way to escape from her life of healing others. [B]Abilities:[/B] Physically, she lacks the strength to defend herself against the slightly above-average attacker. Her species and her childhood of a forced devotion to clerical magic have left her rather weak. She is unable to defend herself without the aid of her magic spells. [B]Magic:[/B] Coriander is skilled in passive magic skills which include healing and assistance spells. She is able to conjure temporary magic barriers that, cannot prevent an attack from landing, but will defend the one who has had the spell cast on them. She has also learned to temporarily increase the strength of one with a spell, boosting her strength to about an average level. Spells like these are useful; however, they are merely temporary, lasting five minutes at the most until she improves. [B]Weapons:[/B] A light steel staff that is the height of her shoulder, decorated with a metal leaf at the top. It is used to channel her magic and, if needed, it can be used to block. [B]Personality: [/B] Coriander talks big for one who is unable to fight back, earning her trouble for the hot-tempered type that she throws over the edge. Despite being unable to fight, she can keep her cool when being threatened, but when push comes to shove, she tends to get nervous. She enjoys presenting herself as a cool-tempered and level-headed individual, which is quite true about her. She really is a nice, and even a kind type of person, but the woman is very bashful when it comes to that. [B]Appearance:[/B] She owns the noticeable ears of her species, which poke out from chin-length, wavy Tuscany red hair. Her bangs fall at slightly thick eyebrow length, and are always worn without clips. Honey-colored eyes are lighter than her naturally-tanned skin and she stands quite short at the meager height of 5?4. Coriander wears her mother?s old white cloak which sports a hood, and wide sleeves that trail down to her knees. Underneath is normally a knee-length dress, more often than not a dark color, and black bottom-half of her calves-length boots.

What's it about?

I would definately be interested in joining. I've been in the mood to join something with an army.

[quote name='gaarasgirl90][COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Fixedsys]When were and whatis this convention? AHH I SHOULD KNOW THESE THINGS! :animesigh Anyway I thought the show was a work of genius. Does anyone know who Tak is? I liked her and they said online that if the show would have gone on she would have reappeard. Tarnation![/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote] She was planned for at least one later episode, where each invader went through a trial to deem whether they are worthy of their job or not.

[quote name='AnimeFront']It is Officialy reconignzed by Anime Mid-Atlantic as an anime.[/quote]Yes, but that doesn't [i]make[/i] it an anime. Invader Zim is a western cartoon show. If it was originally from Japan, then dubbed and brought over to America, [i]then[/i] it would be an anime. [font=Verdana][color=blue][b]Edit:[/b][/color][/font] [QUOTE=dontmakemeBLU]invader zim was cancelled by nickelodeon after the whole 9-11 thing. i guess a show about a maniacal alien trying to take over the world freaked some people out. its a shame though because jhonen vasquez is tha shiznite.[/QUOTE]No, that wasn't the real reason it was cancelled. The show, although very popular, was extremely expensive due to the fact that they used CG. On top of that, the show was viewed as not-as-popular as the other Nickelodeon shows. It was an excellent show while it lasted, and it will always remain my favorite. [font=Verdana][color=blue]I went ahead and merged your two posts.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]- Petie[/color][/font]

I remember Reboot. It makes me feel old to talk about it with my dad, while my little sister of eight years has no clue what I'm rambling about. Hey, the 3D may not have been superb, but it was what I watched when I was younger. It was entertaining... *Sighs.* Long live Reboot and the days of good children's shows.

[QUOTE=Lord Dante]Monty python is truly masterful, i'll agree. My favorite bit would probably have to be "self defence class" from "and now for something completely different". John cleese plays the teacher of a self defence class, teaching people how to defend against assailants armed with "fresh fruit" - a true calssic sketch. Of course, you also have "the joke that kills you", the "dead parrot sketch", "mr creosote", "upper class twit of the year", and of course, the legendary "knights who say.... NI!!" monty python rules "and now for something completely different"[/QUOTE] Sweetie...Love. The Self Defence skit is one of my favorites. It's up there with the Deja Vu sketch. XD it has so many memorable sketches, like the Retaurant Sketch, The Atilla the Hun Show, The Spanish Inquisition... *Sighs.* I'm only sixteen, but my dad was a big Python fan, so I picked up on it along with other British comedies.

Ayame is my favorite character out of all of them, but I definately wouldn't call him "Hot". He's one of the aesthetic male characters. ^^ But that doesn't matter much to me... I like the way he dresses, and most of all, I love his personality. He doesn't let conversations sink,--something I hate when it happens--instead, he does his best to continue the conversation in an energetic manner, even if everyone else gets annoyed with him. Plus, he's pretty arrogant... Basically, he reminds me of myself. I'm one of the most arrogant girls I know. o_o

That Super Milk-Chan show. The first time I saw it, I stared blankly at the screen, then turned off the television and picked up a book. I could feel my brain atrophy as that show played, and it wasn't very pleasant. In my opinion, there are tons of anime that aren't good. But that's because there are very few that I like.

I'd say FLCL and Trigun. Oh, and Cowboy Bebop, if you're a jazz fan. Hm...Other than that, there's not many anime that I care to watch.

Yes, I do get tired of those standard RPG cliches after a while. It gets tiring that the main character is always 21 and under, like if you haven't saved the word by the time you're 21, your life was meaningless. Okay, so I'd much rather play as a young character than a seasoned old character. That's one of the cliches that I have a positive attitude towards and even if it does get tiring, wouldn't you rather play as a pretty young thing? Another I have to say that I'm a fan of is the bit about two characters that talk to eachother while looking at the moon will fall in love. I just can't help but smile knowingly when the two of them engage in a chat where I can feel the romantic tension between them. One thing I think they have to give a change of pace is the scenario when you have to gather X amount of gems, cards, or keys to open a door. These kinds of things don't just lay around, waiting for Hero to find them and thwart (nearly) the villains plan. Besides, do villains really need those keys if they have a superpowered mutant monster that will destroy Hero and his gang-- but not really because they can defeat it easily-- guarding said item? Well, maybe they can't pull fresh ideas anymore, because most of those things have been done before. *Sigh.* Oh, well.
