Random

As I've been rather busy, I'll wait until the first chapter begins to introduce my character. Hope that's okay, James. ~.^ ~Random

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed][i]OOC: Sorry, guys...personal life getting in the way of posting.[/i] Standing infront of Peter, Kitty almost fealt like she was pushing up against a brick wall. Sure, she could use her powers to easily get past him, but her anger was subsiding already. She wasn't one to burst out, but Kurt was just so...annoyingly annoying. Then, Kurt came down, evidently to appologize, and Peter moved out of the way. If ever an opportunity to exact revenge presented itself, now was it. Kitty glared at Kurt for a few seconds, her mind frantically trying to make itself up. "Hmph," she grunted as she spun around, her arms crossed and her head held high. "You can be such an ass, Kurt, ya know that?" "Sorry, frau." Kurt's face was oozing appology, but it was lost on Kitty, who was staring intently at the wall. "I vas just kiddink." "Hmph," was the only response he was going to get, Kitty decided. Peter spoke up. "Why can't you two get along? We're the X-Men, we're supposed to be a team, not fighting each other." Kitty then noticed Remy. The seventeen-year-old was sitting on a chair, seemingly bemused at the little spit between herself and Kurt. She had gotten quite close to him since they met, and he [i]was[/i] attractive. But you'd never hear her admit to it. She had an image to live up to, and anything more than a friend would compramise said image. Ignoring Peter, she walked over to him, and, sitting on the chair arm, said, "Hey, Rem." "Hello, Kit. Need to let off some steam?" he asked her, his arms still behind his head. "After this little thing, who wouldn't?" said Oriel. This was the first time she had spoken since Kurt had rudely interrupted the girls. Kitty had forgotten she was in the room, to be honest. "Why don't we go outside? After we change, of course." Seeing as Oriel, Peter and, surprisingly, Kurt, where as close to her as Remy, Kitty agreed. [i]It's wierd. All of us are friends, but we all get along in different ways...not always the way we want, though,[/i] she thought, watching Remy walking beside Peter just ahead of her. They where all heading towards their rooms to change, seeing as most of them still had their PJ's on. [i]OOC: Hope this little crush is okay with you, Abel. I just wanna have some deep, inter-mixed character feelings/connections going on...not to mention that Remy and Kitty would make an...interesing couple, for lack of better words. The Boss, let's keep Kitty and Kurt at odds with each other, seeing as it'll be great for the story.[/i][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Quick question, James: As you can tell, I havn't posted yet...where should I start? At the ball, or in my room, or should I wait until after you start the first chapter? Also, I'm having trouble finding internet right now, seeing as I'm in the process of moving, so don't expect to see me around all that often...and my former username is Ecstasy, f.y.i. ~Random[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]Amanda, I'm having the same problem as you...wanna have our characters meet up somewhere in the game? (what a [i]unique[/i] idea...meh) So far, I'm pritty lost...and I'm not sure where to start...so, White, any suggestions? ~Random[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Speaking of stupid questions, here's one for ya Joko: In the event that someone doesn't post, how long until the next person does? I'm just wondering, considering that if we have it so that [i]noone[/i] posts until the person before them posts, this RP will die relatively fast... ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SANDY! Hope it's a good one! Anyways, graveyards you ask? Heh, ya... I work graveyards at a gas station, and have for approx. the last six months. It's not all that bad, as long as you're able to stay awake, that is. I've had some pritty crazy nights, with some even more crazy people...lemme indulge you for your reading (dis)pleasure. XD Since I live in central Canada, I see animals...lots of animals. Considering I work in the middle of nowhere, I see more animals than I do people some nights. Everything from beavers (it is Canada, people) to foxes, moose to giant moths that look like they could eat your hand for breakfast, to some crazy drunk guy that said he turned into a warewolf during the day...wierd...I've seen alot of animals. As for crazy people, as if the drunk-warewolf guy wasn't crazy enough, there's also all the people I work with. HAH! First is Margaret, a sixty-year-old hag...she's alright, just don't try and talk with her. Then there's Ash, the sixteen-year-old pregant girl...pritty much the same as Marg, alright 'till you try to talk to her. Don't forget about Katie, my fellow raver. She's one of my bestist friends, and we get along great. I love working with her, but she's going to be gone...tonights her last night...*sigh* Then, of course, there's the crazy weather. Lightening storms that cut out the electricity, forcing us to close the store...with no lights on, outside seems just that much more...scary? Foggy nights, where you can't even see the gas pumps...I dislike those even more than the no-electricity. But, of course, there's the sun-rise. It's so beautiful, and makes everything seem so peaceful and relaxing...then the customers start coming. Here's my favorite story. One night I was working with Ash, and we went out for a smoke. While outside, we where "attacked" by a "man-eating" moth, or so she called it. She started to swing a broom around in hopes of hitting it, but she continually missed. So, once it landed on the ground, she tried to spear the thing with the broom. Of course, she missed, but succeeded in pissing off the moth. It started to chase her, around and around, then landed on her arm and...bit her. That's right, it BIT her. She has the bruise to prove it! After she cleaned it off, and alot of laughing on my part, we went outside a couple hours later for another smoke. This time, it was my turn to "deal" with Mother Nature. I was walking around the parking lot, and out of nowhere a beaver popped into view. It was H-U-G-E! At least the size of a medium-sized dog, I swear. Anywho, it started to waddle towards the highway, where logging-trucks where running constantly. I was concerned about the darn thing's safety, and Ash told me to get it away from the highway. So, smoke in hand, I ran around the thing in attempts to scare it away from the deadly road. Heh, ya. Didn't work. It got angry, bared it's teeth, and started to waddle...rather fast...in my direction. Abandoning the smoke, I ran as fast as I could towards the store, with Ash following and laughing. Once inside, we named the beaver "Chucky." I'm glad to say Chucky never has returned...and if he did, I could care less if he went on the highway or not. Hope you enjoy, Sandy! ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][i]OOC: With everyone fighting different battles, this RP's getting a bit confusing...heh, I'll try my best. Kura...I mean, Dare, I'm assuming that I'm making up random characters for this team, right? Will you have some characters with you as well, or is Ska responsible for "gathering the troups"? I'll assume the latter.[/i] Finally waking in the dim morning light, Ska rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She glanced over to the small window of her quarters, and heaved a sigh. [i]It's about time we had some decent fighting. I've been soo board, I've had to resort to thinking about the past.[/i] At this thought, Ska shuttered. [i]I hate thinking about the past...I'd rather fight something. It's easier to deal with.[/i] After getting ready, she stepped outside her quarters. [i]Now to get the girls, and meet Touka.[/i] Moving as fast as she could, she gathered all the girls. There were two other Wood Elves, Diana and Friny, a Wizardess, Seph, one tiny Nymph, Spirit, a behemoth Giantess, Belatrix, as well as her Dryad friend, Starling. There was only one missing...Touka's youngest older sister, who Touka didn't know was at camp. Ska had run across her the other day out in the forest. The Dryads had told her a wild Tiegrian was tearing apart trees and bushes, bringing destruction upon the Dryads and their homes. She had hurried to her friends' aid, finding a beautiful Tiegrian laying in the middle of a devistating scene, heaving and sweating. At first, she had thought it was Touka, and was immediately confused as to why Touka would do this. Then, upon closer inspection, she discovered it was, in fact, Tiani, Touka's sister. Ska never really knew anything much of Touka's sisters, but noticed the short, bob-like tail that she remembered Touka saying belonged to Tiani. Plus, the coloring was so similar to Touka's, it only took a few seconds to make the connection. After a brief explanation between the two women, Ska took Tiani to the camp, but kept her well hidden and in the care of Starling. She told Tiani to stay put until she was better, and if she needed anything to tell Starling. That was three days ago. Now, after talking to Touka last night, Ska decided that it was time to reintroduce the two sisters. But Tiani was nowhere to be found, and Starling didn't know where she had gone. "Everyone but Starling, meet up with Touka at the Head Commander's tent. Tell Touka I'll be there shortly with two others, but do not wait for me." Watching everyone go, Ska spoke shortly with Starling, then turned to search the barracks for Tiani. [i]OOC: I have a few things in mind, Dare...if you want to know them, PM me.[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][CENTER] [i]Just because you said the sign-ups aren't closed yet. Anything you want changed, White, lemme know.[/i] [U][b]EVIO Application Form[/b][/U] [B]Name:[/B] Jessica Hunter [B]Birthdate:[/B] May 13, 2003 (18 years old) [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Username:[/B] Random [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://www.desktoprating.com/wallpapers/anime-wallpapers-pictures/warrior-girl-anime-wallpaper.jpg][b]Random[/b][/URL], although without the staff, add metal-plated gloves, dark red hair, and her skirt should actually be shorts. [B]Faction:[/B] Earth [B]Class:[/B] Fighter [b]Weapon:[/b] Her body is enough of a weapon as it is. Having been a major athlete in school, as well as a bit of a "book worm," Random has surprising agility and strength for an 18-year-old girl, and she uses that to her advantage in the game. By pairing her natural strength with things such as steel-toed boots, as well as metal-plated gloves, Random becomes a deadly machine. [B]Known Spells:[/B] None, as of yet...she "doesn't believe in magic," but that'll change soon. (White, if you want me to put in some spells of what Random [i]might[/i] have, just PM me to let me know...if, that is, we [i]need[/i] spells. I like a challenge. ~.^) [b]Skill Level:[/b] Random is a fairly constant player, but she started as a reluctant one. She started the game as a school project on the topic of [i]Modern Technology's Effects on Today's Society[/i]. She hated video games, and anything that she saw as "useless wastes of time," although she admitted she was [i]slightly[/i] interested. By the time her paper was finished, to her horror, she was hooked, her project now only one aspect of the game. Although she started playing about five months ago, she is learning fast, but, as with everything, there's always more to learn.[/CENTER][/SIZE][/COLOR]

The Boss, that-is-AWESOME! Love the way you played Kitty. Totally sets up the stage for more interesting-ness, methinks. Anyways, can't wait to see what happens now...and I hope this RP lasts longer than most seem to have been... ~Ex

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Sienna Kor Addy sat on a tree, gazing up at the night sky. "What's the matter, Ska?" asked a familiar voice. "Oh, nothing. I'm just thinking..." "Common, Ska. I know you better than that," said the voice. "Something's on your mind. Why don't you tell me?" "I'm just thinking about my parents again," Ska replied, giving in. "How could they just abandon me? Especially there?" "I know, Ska," the voice said, empathy obvious. "I just don't understand it...did they mean to leave there? Was it even their fault? Was it a plan?" "I don't know, but if it hadn't of happened, you wouldn't be who you are now, right?" "I guess you're right, Starling." Looking towards her friend, she was shocked to see she wasn't there. "Starling, where are you?" "Haha," Starling laughed. "I guessed you would ask me that. I'm right here, beside you, as always." "Yes, you are," she said, smiling to herself. "I'm glad at least someone's here for me." "Hey, don't forget about Touka. She's your friend, right?" "Oh!" Ska exclaimed. "I totally forgot. I was planning on seeing her tonight. She had a meeting with the Commander tonight, and I wanted to know what is happening." "You going to go see her?" asked Starling. "I guess I'd better, before it gets too late," she replied as she jumped down off the tree. "Thanks for the talk, Starling." "No problem, Ska. Anytime." Ska started walking towards the camp, all thoughts of her parents lost and replaced with assumptions of what Touka would tell her. Stepping up to Touka's quarters, she paused. [i]Wonder if she's back yet.[/i] She knocked. "Enter," came a voice from inside. Ska opened the door, and saw Touka sitting on her desk. Her tail flicked along the top of the desk, showing she was in deep thought. "It's Ska." Upon those words, Touka turned around, and smiled greatly. "Just the girl I wanted to see!" she said enthousiastically. Ska couldn't help but grin. [i]I guess it could be worse.[/i] [i]OOC: Just an intro...Kura, you can take it where you want...I'll follow.[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Time to get back into this.[quote name='Hanabishi Recca']Alright, well if you look in Revelation then you will see it reference to Daniel and Thessalonians. Therefore, the key is in Revelation.[/quote] What, praytell, does Daniel and Thessalonians have to do with Revelations? You said the "key is in Revelation." So, what does Daniel and Thessalonians have to do with it? I've studied this topic a bit, and Daniel and thessalonians, although having [i]references[/i] to the end of the world, they have nothing significant to add. [quote=Hanabishi Recca]But to help you guys, in the Bible it says that nations will be against Israel. And look whats happening now. There is only ONE more that needs to be against us and that is... well... find it out on your own. *thinks that would be stupid if someone else did that to me...* Okay, its Russia. It talks about the North coming against Israel. And you all know who that is since I just said it.[/quote] Alright. This part is true. It does say that all nations will be against Israel, although where I'm currently drawing a blank. As for the "only one more that needs to be against us and that is Russia" part, true, as far as I can tell. [quote name='Hanabishi Recca]Not true, WE [The christians] are stopping the anti christ from becoming that far ahead [In power on this earth'].[/quote] The hell? When was I notified of this update? [i]Are[/i] we, the Christians, currently stopping the anti-christ from becoming that far ahead? Heh, you do realize that noone actually [i]knows[/i] who the anti-christ is, right? How can we be stopping him, if we don't even know [i]who[/i] this guy is? [quote name='Hanabishi Recca']So, we have to be gone for the anti christ to become where they need to be. Understand???[/quote] Ya, I understand...it's called the Rapture. And, not all Christians are going to be gone...lemme explaine. All the hypocrytes, the ones who are only pretending, will be left behind, and then they'll realize they where wrong. Those people will start the new wave, per say, of Christians, the ones who'll essentially save some of the remaining people, and oppose the anti-christ. Sure, this is just my oppinion, but I'm just using common knowledge to induce a possible outcome using deduction. [quote name='Hanabishi Recca']Also, I have already answerd your second paragraph. Everything has happend. The only thing left is Russia.[/quote] Um, no. Not everything has happened, as you said. Read Revelations and you'll see that although alot of the things that it reffers to have, in fact, already happened, not everything that is supposed to lead up to the Rapture has. I'd explaine, but I'm too tired to go looking through the book of Revelations and list everything for you. Alright, here's my last note. Hanabishi Recca, [i]please[/i] research before you start a dissussion like this. You seem to be talking in circles, taking the point you're trying to validate and reffering it to itself to validate it, bringing up completely useless information, and trying to piece everything together with an incomplete view. I'm not flaiming, not by a long shot. I'm just trying to clear a few things up here, and hopefully make some sense out of your posts, as well as trying to correct you in a few points that are...slightly differeing. If I'm wrong in anything, please elighten me by [i][u]fully explaining yourself.[/i][/u] Don't "hide" your answers, or have people "work" for them. Explain yourself. Not everyone will have the same oppinions as yourself, so explaning yourself is neccessary in a dissussion such as this. ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Alright...Paine's Mix options are finished. I followed Sandy's advice, and finally finished them. When incorporating them into the story, use common sense when deciding which one to use. For example, mixing a water gem with just about any other item will result in [b]Dark Rain[/b], while mixing it with another elemental object, such as a fire shard, will result in [b]Metra Magic[/b]. So, basically, elemental + elemental = Metra Magic, elemental + non-elemental = elemental baised on the type of elemental, non-elemental + curative = Great Wall, curative + curative = Mega-Potion. I think that's it on that note. On the storyline, I think that once we get to Bikanel Island, after Djose and New Home, we should totally have a "big thing" happen. I'm not 100% sure what said "big thing" will be, but I have a few ideas...I'll PM them to Sandy, and see what he thinks. ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Aight...thanx, Takuya. I think I'll just wing it...if you have any problems, lemme know. ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=NavyBlue][SIZE=1][quote name='Dagger']Does that get explained in Chain of Memories? Speaking of which, is Chain of Memories really worth playing, or should I just go read a summary if I'm curious about how its plot ties in to KH2's plot?[/quote] Personally, I thought CoM was irritating, at best...I'd just read a summary, unless you're [i]really[/i] wanting to play the game. I don't recommend it, though. And I agree with your statement of Org. XIII being, well, pathetic. Because they where. I didn't have any problems with them, but for some reason I cannot for the life of me beat Sephy...oh well. Guess I need to level up some more, eh? ~Ex [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Sorry it took sooooo long to create this for you, Joko. I hope you like it! [center]Banner: [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/Mr.jpg[/IMG] Avi: [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/Magneto.jpg[/IMG][/center] So, there ya go...not the best, but it's better than having no replies, right? The only problem is the boarder...for some reason, when I upload it the color changes...heh. ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Should we include other "main characters" in our first post, or what? I think that, if this RP is to survive, we need a bit of organization here...Takuya, that's your ball-field. Also, if you need help organizing this thingy, I'm here...I think we work well together, seein as we've worked together before, right? Well, I'll probably post sometime tomorrow, kk? ~Ex

FINALLY! *sigh* Sorry, Joko, I just HAD to get that outta my system. Anyways, no question as of right now...other than this. Where are we all going to be located at the beginning? All together in the two groups, or scattered around?

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][quote name='Hanabishi Recca']Too bad the antichrist is already born.[/quote] Er...right. When did the topic turn so drastically? I thought this was going to be a discussion on the date, then a "goood theological discussion." Heh...and the antichrist is a void point in this discussion, seeing as he isn't even supposed to appear until [i]after[/i] the "end of the world." Ya know, he doesn't appear until after the dissappearances, a.k.a. the Rapture, and a few of the Judgments happen. Just sayin'. Anyways, I'll dare to venture into this little Religious side-track a little bit more. First off, I was raised in a strictly Baptist home, went to church, was baptized, went to a Christian school, blah, blah, blah, blah....so, I understand [i]exactly[/i] what ya'll talking about, kk? I also understand the flip-side, a.k.a. the "non-christian" side, seeing as I've looked into many a religion besides Christianity. So, I beg you answer this question: Why is it that most of the hype the world freaks about, and not to mention the biggest holiday, are all taken from the Bible? Sure, a bit off-topic, but it's still a relevant point. Why isn't the world freaking about any other religion's "doomsday" dates, or holidays, or whatever? Sure, there's a few, but none that can even come close to what's in the Bible. Why? Oh, and I understand the mess-ups in the Bible, the calender thing, and the negative connotation. Personally, I agree with the negative connotation assosiated with anything considered "evil," whether assosiated with the devil, or just bad things in general. My day was perfectly fine, an, as far as I can tell, the world's still here! Anywho, I've ranted for enough...I'll just wait and see what people have to say about my oppinons...'till then, Ciao! Oh, and have fun...*laughes meliciously* ~.^ ~Ex [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]I'll answer the latest question, Sandy. I think that dynamic storytelling can be done with player-made characters, but only if there's a little management from the creator, and organization between the players. Here's my idea, taken from Ezekiel's old RP baised on Naruto: First, have sign-ups done as usual. Then, the creator posts who's accepted, what teams, factions, groups, locations, etc. they'll be in and whatever other info that's relevant to the RP. After that, each player, baised on who's with who, etc, puts a new post in either the same thread, or the underground thread, their relations between characters and a basic example of how they would react to [i]each[/i] character...concentrating on the characters in their group/whatever, but also including all the other characters. This would be done via PMs, as well as random improvisations. That way, everyone knows how the different characters would interact, and minimize any confusion. Also, to minimize confusion even further, the personality portion would be ~extreamly~ important, seeing as it shows the characters, well, personality. Adding a disposition area, a maybe a "stock" reaction area, in the sign-ups would help alot, as well. Basically, alot of planning, and a good, well-thought sign-up would make it, or break it. I think the deciding factor is the sign-ups, but I guess it's really up to the creator how he or she wants to go through with it. *gasps for air* Damn long-windedness...heh. Anyways, you wanted oppinions? PUT THAT IN YER PIPE AN' SMOKE IT! haha...well, there's mine. Who knows if this is the next step in the RP "evolution," but it's worth a shot, right? ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Heh...'tis all good, James. I was just making sure I knew what was going on...and, apparently, so are you! XD Anyways, I understand...and I'm sure everyone else does. Well, see ya'll in the RP! ~Ex

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]*waits impatiently for the RP to begin* I'm not complaining or anything, James...I'm just REALLY, REALLY excited about this. Any specific time you think this'll be starting up? Also, although I'm sure you already said this somewhere, half of us will be in one thread, a.k.a. Paris2, and the other half will be in another, a.k.a. Neo Chicago. And then we'll be able to jump from one thread to the other...I'm just assuming. (Garsh, I'd loose my head if it wasn't attached to my body.) Er...and what's up with the other thread you were talking about, the one in the Anthology? Still happening, or just a thought you...well, thought. Um, methinks it's time to go to bed...*laughes histerically* G'night! ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][i]OOC: Don't worry, KW...we won't leave without you...yet. LOL, j/k. Anyways, I'm just making random shi...er, stuff up, so if anyone doesn't like it, lemme know![/i] Paine eyed the strange man cautiously, the Caos timer still aimed steadly. "Zelex, huh?" The...creature before her nodded. "Well, Zelex, what exactly are you, and why should [i]we[/i] trust [i]you[/i]?" "Well...," he replied, watching Paine's gun nerviously. "I am, basically, half Ronso, half Human. It's a complicated story." "Tell us. We have time," replied Paine, still not lowering her weapon. "Ooh! A story!" exclaimed Rikku, excited. Sitting down, with Gigi Jr. on her shoulder, she said, "This'll be interesting. Go on!" "Rikku...," Paine said, heaving a sigh and shaking her head. "It all started when my mother, a Ronso, and my father, a human, met..." Zelek started, albeit hesitantly. Minutes later, footsteps interrupted Zelek's rather long, drawn-out story. "Shh," warned Paine, moving away from the door and positioning the Caos Timer towards the oppening. [i]Thank Sin,[/i] she thought. [i]At least this'll keep the story away. Why did I ever ask?[/i] Rikku and Zelek both readied their weapons, each standing behind Paine. "Paine, what do you-," Rikku started, whispering. "Shut it, Rikku!" Paine retorted shortly, her irritation obvious. The footsteps where getting louder, which made the addrenaline run through the three even more. Paine was used to tense situations, but with an unfamiliar...person...in her midst, she was slightly more excitable than usual. The footsteps stopped, seemingly just outside the door. Paine looked at Rikku, Rikku looked at Zelek, Zelek looked at the door, Gigi Jr. looked board. Just as Paine moved to investigate, a voice rang out. "Rikku? You anywhere in here?" "Wha-" Rikku, shock on her face, ran towards the door. "Rikku!" Paine reached to grab her friend, but Rikku dodged. The action caused Gigi Jr. to clutch tighter to Rikku's left shoulder. Just as Rikku reached the door, a familiar face rounded the corner. "Gippal!" Rikku shouted as she lunged at the Al-Bhed. "How you been?" "Gosh," Paine sighed, the strain of the situation leaving her. "You scared us half to death, Gippal." "Heh." Fending off Rikku, and with a cheesy grin, Gippal replied, "Would'a dropped a line, but ya know...your communication spheres aren't on." Paine just glared at the Al-Bhed, while Rikku jumped around exctatically and shot question after question. Noticing Zelek, who was minding his own away from the group, Gippal asked, "Who's your new friend?" "Oh!" exclaimed Rikku. "I totally forgot. Gippal, this is Zelek. Isn't he wierd?" The last comment she wispered in Gippal's ear. "Rikku..." Paine said, exasperated. Zelek rubbed his hands together self-conciously. [i]Leave it up to Rikku to make a fool of herself.[/i] "We'll talk more about it later. It's not safe here. Let's go outside." "Still a stick-in-the-mud, eh, Paine?" Gippal said, humored. Paine just walked past him, Rikku bouncing along behind...with Gigi Jr. bouncing right along with her.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]First, read the sticky, located [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=44317][b]here[/b][/URL].

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][QUOTE=Sandy]In another forum I joined recently I was automatically taken as a girl because my screenname is Sandy and my profile says something about my boyfriend. The funny thing is that I haven't even bothered to correct them (although I probably wouldn't lie about it if somebody asked directly). Why? Because it's a gaming forum (Final Fantasy XIII themed), where almost everybody are male, and as I'm "posing" as a girl, I get more respect/admiration/attention than I would if I was acting as what I am. I can also get away with plenty of things, such as acting as a moderator when there in fact isn't any yet (it's a budding community). I'm not doing this out of malice, I just want to experience "the other side of the coin". No harm done, huh? Although my boyfriend didn't like it very much when I mentioned this to him, I think he's afraid I'm turning into a tranny... XP[/QUOTE] Sandy, only you...XD Aaaaaanyways, I don't think that very many people have mistaken me for a girl...I think. Correct me if I'm wrong. But, then again, I've been pritty obvious and open about who I am. As for my guess on people's genders, I've been right, and I've been wrong. Heh, we're not all perfect, right? With the whole "gender role" issue, I see no real problems, per say. As it's been stated before, it's not that big of an issue here. Most people don't really think about it, but we all assume that this person's this, and that person's that...online, it's just a fact we all need to accept, if we like it or not. We base it on what we think is "feminine" or "masculine" in, as 'Zeke said, the sig's and user names. And, that's that. ~Ex[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1] [b]Name[/b]: Sienna Kor Addy, or simply Ska [b]Race[/b]: Wood Elf [b]Age[/b]: 140, equivilant to 28 in "human years" [b]Gender[/b]: Female [b]Apperance[/b]: [URL=http://exhibition.dragonsworn.com/kroese/4.jpg][b]Ska[/b][/URL] [b]Faction[/b]: Deadly Flower [b]Personality[/b]: Ska is a brute, for lack of better words. She loves to kill things, and isn't afraid to jump into situations without thinking...which often gets her into trouble. Her "who cares" attitude has more often than not kept people at a distance, and has no real friends, except Tokua. If you could call her a friend. Ska doesn't really trust anyone, and makes it well known. She is flamboyant, outspoken, rude, and all around the epitemy of a jerk. She rarely does something for someone, that is unless they are more powerful than she, or the price is right... [b]Weapons and abilities[/b]: Ska is a master marksman with her bow, and isn't too shabby with hand-to-hand combat. Her silver/gold-plaited yew bow, [URL=http://thephilippinetolkiensociety.org/uploads/artworks/Robbit_bow%20and%20arrow.jpg][b]Windspell[/b][/URL], and matching quiver where her mothers, and where passed on to Ska when she was of age. Her hand-to-hand weapon, [URL=http://www.flytying.dk/images/Dragon%20sword.jpg][b]Waker[/b][/URL], is a weapon she forged herself. Ska's abilities are unique, not all of them rooted in her Elfish background. Obviously, she is quick-of-foot, has keen senses, and is very limber and agile. She also has the ability to speak with trees...rather the Nyads that dwell within said trees. Due to her unusual upbringing, she is a seasoned smith, able to bend metal with the use of fire. Although fire is often an opposing force to the Wood Elf, Ska is not the typical... [b]Bio/snippet[/b]: Meh...it's already started, and I'm already in...other than that, I'll keep her history secret....for now. [i]EDIT: Almost finished...just the snippet and personality left![/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]
