I've made what you requested, although without the pink eyes...hope you like! It [I]is[/I] the same pic, but I think it works...here ya go! Banner: [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/angelbanner2.jpg[/IMG] Avi: [IMG]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e237/Random_911/angelavi2.jpg[/IMG] Enjoy! -Random

Well, White, looks like everyone's waiting for you to post...^.^

Well, I must say that it does look better...now, 10/10, even if it is just for effort...please don't hurt me! Well, it's not your fault. Now, to whoever replies to mine, I added my own avi, as well...critique away! -Random

Athena, I LOVE your banner/avi set. Wow. You'll always be a :::Goddess::: to me...*blush* So, on to the critisizement, not that there's much. First off, your avi. It seems a little "washed out" to me. Too light, maybe. Perhaps you were going for a difference between your avi and banner, as they are the same pic. Also, it's a little grainy...maybe because it's too light? I'm not sure. Now, the banner. In my eyes, this is a work of complete perfection. I really like the colors, and how it's darker than the matching avi...it looks more lifelike because it's darker. Also, having the woman's head not there really adds dynamic to it. The words are very simple, but the way you incorporated them, what with the color and white "shimmer" around them, gives almost an elagance to them. 9/10...KUDOS! (full marks if the avi was darker) Now, f.y.i. to whoever rates my banner, this was done in Paint, and it's my first one...go easy! -Random

Thanks for your offer, Lionheart, and we'll let you know if we need anything...as of right now, we don't really need that much. In the future, who knows? (other than a few good sign-ups!) -Random

Cool...and, so you know, I've just informed Shy that I have a project for him later on, and told him to expect it in about a month...that gives us time to fine-tune everything. Anyways, post away! -Random

Good ideas...mainly naming one after my former user name, *blush*... Well, I'm not certain that you won't get "in trouble," a.k.a. banned, if it's not your fault. I'd just wait, or ask Bio or one of the admin.'s. Anyways, to answer your question about elements and classes: The reason I stated that we should do this is basically to put each class in a "home" continent, such as the "Red Mage" being from the continent of fire, etc. That means that the "home" continent is the continent that the class origionated from. If you like, then I'll encorporate it into the basics...if not, then I won't. Also, thank you for saying that the story's "as much yours as it is mine." It means alot, really...*blush again* So, I'll start A.S.A.P., and I'll try and get ahold of people to help...if I have time. ^.^ -Random

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Lemme say, holy friggin monkeys! Wow, there sure was alot of effort put into this RP, and I must say that I'm impressed. So, without further ado, here's my Sign-Up. [CENTER]= = = = =[/CENTER] [B]Name:[/B] Marrick Reid (male) [B]Age:[/B] 17 [B]Height:[/B] 5'9" [B]Weapon of Choice:[/B] Tiger Fangs - Basically, this weapon is a gauntlet, worn on the left hand (yes, he's a lefty), with two foot-and-a-half long, curved blades on it. The gauntlet is deep red, while the two blades are a strong, shiny silver metal. He uses the gauntlet part to shield himself when needed. [B]Secondary Weapon:[/B] Sais - Two of them, to be precise. Each one has three blades, the middle being longer than the outer two. The one he keeps on his right hip is black, and is called Soul. The other one, kept on his left shin, is the white Spirit. [B]Powers:[/B] [COLOR=DarkGreen][B]Seal of Current[/B][/COLOR] - a green Seal with two horizontal wave-like lines: This first Seal allowes Marrick to manipulate the wind in all it's many different aspects. He can create anything from a very light breeze to a full-fledged hurricane, or he can simply stop any wind from blowing and even vacate a space of air. He cannot, however, controll the temperature of the air around him. Also, his agility and speed is increased due to this Seal. [COLOR=Purple][B]Seal of Irrelavance[/B][/COLOR] - a purple Seal with a Crecent Moon: Marrick's second Seal gives him the power of irrelavance. This power manifests itself in many forms and gives Marrick a major stealth boost. Basically, the power of irrelavance is almost like invisibility or camouflage, meaning that Marrick can travel around, or infiltrate, any area and not be seen if he chooses. Also, any object touched by him when "invisible" also "dissapears," so this power can be as devastating, or humorous, as it is usefull. As well as "invisibility," Marrick is almost silent however he travels. [B]Background/Bio:[/B] Marrick grew up in a lower-class family in the slums of Tarmi, a small-average sized city. His family, being lower-class, were [I]extreamly[/I] poor, and bairly had enough food for his small family of three: his mom, his dad, and himself. He was your average kid, really, up until his father was arrested for stealing food, which he admitted to. Although his father had good reasons and a solid defence, he was killed nontheless. Seeing as neither had a job, or anyway to get one, Marrick and his mother had to move out of their house and sell it to get money for food. His mother eventually found a job, but she was so weak from starvation and malnutrition that she passed bairly a week after being hired. Marrick was 18 at the time of his mother's death. Marrick was overcome with greif, but he sticked it out, believing that everything happened for a reason. After realizing that he had no food, no money, and no place to stay, he had no choice but to begin his life as a theif. And, by the gods, was he ever good at it, having almost a natural flare. He has never been caught. This was his life...[I]was[/I]. [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://pantransit.reptiles.org/images/2001-11-25/illu17.png][B]Merrick[/B][/URL], just add a couple years and longer hair - same clothes, though. His body is relatively average, considering his circumstances. His eyes, both Jade green with a golden crown circling the pupile, shine with wisdom and depth. His hair, just past his shoulders, is a shining silver, following sute his mother's. He has a scar above his right eye, splitting his eyebrow in half, and another on his left arm. On his upper back, covered by his hair, is a tattoo in the shape of two horizontal wavy lines underneath a cresant moon... [B]Personality:[/B] Marrick is known as a quite, shy, "stong, silent type," self-preservant, stand-offish person, but once one gets to know him, they realize there's more underneath his skin than the "tough-boy" exterior. Surprisingly, he has a very well developed sense of humor. When he talks, he's harsh, but it's always for the bettering of others...usually. [B]Misc:[/B] Marrick is a lefty! Ahem...Marrick is quite the trickster...he likes to use his powers as much for his amusement as he does for all their "real" uses. Also, he has a pet falcon, named Jade, who accompanies him everywhere...guess she could be considered a "secondary weapon," but she's not a fighter, she's a scout-er...lol. His favorite foods are apples, bread, nuts, and gin, when he finds it, but basically he'll eat whatever he can get his hands on. "His" color is green. So, I'll edit my post later, kk? Anything that's on here now that needs to be changed, PM me and I'll change it when I edit the rest. [EDIT] Okay, I'm done...meh, not the best sign-up I've done, but it'll do, methinks. Also, I added some other things into my Powers. Oh, and Aiyanna, I've added names to Marrick's Seals...any beefs, PM me. [EDIT-2] Also, I've added some descriptions to his appearance, as it was a little vague. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

As posted earlier, I share your impatience and eagerness in starting this RP. However, we cannot start the story here. First, since MirrIll started this thread, she (I'm assuming you're a girl, MirrIll...if not, sorry) will be creating the story...and thus, we wait. Second, she will post sign-ups in the [B][URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48]Adventure Inn[/URL][/B]. That's where she'll introduce everyone to the story, and put up the sign-up sheet showing everyone what she wants to know about the characters. From that she'll decide who gets in, or if everyone gets in...it's really up to her. Thirdly, once all the sign-ups are done, she'll start a thread in the [B][URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=46]Adventure Square[/URL][/B], which is where the story will actually commence. Also, you should read each previous post [I]carefully[/I], as MirrIll has posted when, approx., she'll be posting, as seen below... [quote name='MirrIll']But yeah, when I get the story totally figured out, I'll go ahead and post it in Adventure Inn or whatever, and I'll be sure to post here also when it's up an taking character applications.[/quote] Anyways, any other questions, you can just read the Adventure Square sticky [B][URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=44318]here[/URL][/B], or you can contact either of the Moderators of The Arena (Underground and Square/Inn), Ozymandius Jones or Bio. Anyways, MirrIll, I'm looking for your post! -Random [EDIT] Wow...I sound like a mod...lol...oh well, just doing my part, I guess...don't hate me, Bio! Honestly, I'm just trying to help you out...*sigh*

To be honest, I was 'kinda thinking of "Hangman's Curse" when I posted my random paragraph of a post. Anyways, whever you post the sign-ups, count me in! -Random

First off, HOLY FREAKIN MONKEYS! That's totally awesome. Although White replied to this request via PM, I do like the banner you made better...but don't tell him, ok? But seriously, thanx! I've tried my hand at banners, but I suck...mostly because all I have to work with is stupid Paint...*mumbles under breath* So, ya...thanx again. -Random

Well, narutosanmikey...quite a bit of information you have. Enough to get started, but not quite enough. Anyways, I'll work on it, and have it up in about a week or so. Anyways, although I'm sure that the mods will point this out, you really should have put [I]all[/I] of your info into one post, not five. Anyways, back on topic. A few more questions for you. First off, will there only be the four types of "jobs" for the characters? Seeing as you have six different continents, I personally would think that you could have six different "jobs," not to mention having each job assigned to an element, not just the continents. Also, as I can't think of anything else (I've just got off of a 10-hour graveyard shift, meh), I have a suggestion for you. What I would do, once I'm finished the basic story-line, world basics (world name, countries' names, etc.), and whatever else I think of, is let Shy know. He organizes alot of community events, and this idea would be [I]perfect[/I] for one. You don't have to, but I think that that course would bring this idea into the best fruition, and let it play out to it's greatest potential. Also, another idea is to let Sandy in on this. He's awesome at coordinating large RPs, just look at OB: Survivor, and this would be great considering his abilities. I'm not trying to pon this off on anyone else, or get you off the idea of running this yourself. I'm just trying to help you out the best I can, and to get this RP off the ground. But, I think, your best bet is to let Shy know about this, once I'm finished, and let him take over if he wants...meh, damn this long-windedness. So, ya..OH! Right, my other question. What time is this RP supposed to be set in? Modern, Futuristic, or Mediviel? I [B][I]NEED[/I][/B] this information, as it's crutial...but I can still work on the RP without it...for now. So, answer A.S.A.P. -Random PS: If I forget anything, I'll either edit this one, or just post a new one. Ciao!

*points to above post by Ikillion* Sadly, my computer, as well, shows only a red "X"...oh well, better luck next time, methinks.

[SIZE=1]Aimee was awoken by a slight noise. It sounded almost like a footstep, but she wasn't worried. [I]It's probably the one called Anastasia,[/I] she thought reasonably. Then, she realized that there was a body beside her, sleeping. [I]This body smells like Anastasia, and I don't remember anyone else being in the room.[/I] She cautiously sat up, staring into the darkness, trying to locate either from where the noise came from, or her gauntlet and dragon claws. [I]Damn. Can't find my weapons.[/I] She saw the mistery-person, obviously not a vampire, walking slowly towards the bed. It was holding a gun, and Aimee's fangs grew. She noticed it was a male, and she could almost smell the hate resonating from him. [I]This guy's thinking he can kill my saviour, eh? Well, he's got another thing coming.[/I] Suddenly, just as it looked like he was going to pull the trigger, she moved into action. [CENTER]= = = = =[/CENTER] [COLOR=DarkRed]OOC: Just plugging someone in...whoever wants to take over the "fight scene," go ahead...*thinks to himself* (wow, Aimee's quite the little spitfire, getting into fights every few minutes...lol)[/COLOR][/SIZE]

In relation to the last post by Ayokano, I've put a post in the thread. I know, it's mid-battle and everything, but I think it puts some dynamic into the story, seeing that up to now, it seemed like only Sakura and KKC were the only ones "allowed" to post. Hope you don't mind, White. If you do, I'll just delete my entry. Ciao! -Random

Shi watched the big-screen tv. She was in awe. [I]Namine is an awesome trainer. If I win against Grace Lee, then there's a possibility that I'll have to face Namine. Not the most conforting thought, to be sure, but an exciting one at that.[/I] Shi had decided to stay and watch the battle unfearl, seeing that she has a fifty-fifty chance at batteling one of the two trainers currently dueling. While some of the other members had left the room, Shi stood rooted in place, captivated by the workings of the two trainers. On the screen, there were four seperate sections. The right half was Namine and her Blaziken, while the left half was Kay and her Jolteon. The trainers were on top, and the Pokemon where on the bottom half. The first skirmish between the two Pokemon was heated, but Shi knew that the two trainers were only just testing the other out. The ones ahead would only get better. Shi watched Namine hit one of the red buttons with her elbow, which in turn made Kay change her direction. [I]She must be looking for a place to better sute her Blazikin's fighting abilities. The only reason she'd abandon the last battle.[/I] The next thing she knew, the two trainers were once again facing each other, ready for another joust.

[SIZE=1]Aimee awoke, pain making her entire body ache. She moaned, and heard a sweet voice shush her. She could feel that her wounds had relatively healed, although every momement shot coursing pain up and down her bruised body. She fealt clean clothing covering her body, feeling like a feather. Her high-temperature, although nearing the risk of death near the beginning of the night, was expertly cooled by a wet cloth, held by a kind hand. Aimee tried to sit up, but was gently placed back into a laying position. "It's okay, little one," came a soothing voice. "Everything will be ok." "Where is Sin?" she asked, the anger still evident on her voice. "Childer, lay down and rest," came the voice. "I'll take care of you." "My name's Aimee," she said. "What's yours?" "Anastasia," came the soft response. Once again, Aimee succomed to the darkness, and slept away.[/SIZE]

Name: Sorri Ki Age: 16 Gender: Female Race: Human/Mage Personality: will edit... Appearance: [URL=http://www.icybrian.com/fanart/pyrogoth/redmage.jpg][B]Sorri's Pic[/B][/URL], but with silver hair, and a red dress, not black. Weapons and abilities: Being a mage, she has little need for weapons, but she has a small mace for hand-to-hand combat, much like the one in the pic, but the handle is half the size. Her abilities as a mage allow her to controll fire, water, wind, and earth, as well as a little healing properties. Strengths: Sorri can manipulate the elements. Her ability to do this strengthens her "unity" with nature and those around her. She has great agility, and can dodge most attacks. Also, her emotions and mind are developed well beyond her years. Weaknesses: Fairly weak, so her defence and strength are considerably lower, but not as low as others might think. Her fondness of overanalizing and disecting a situation too much causes her to be overcautious, getting her into trouble in some situations. Bio: will edit...

Simple walked down the dusty road, his cloak waving in the breeze. The shops were just opening, and he was a little hungry. He decided to stop at one of the pubs, The Broken Sword. Upon entering he sat himself down, and waited for the waitress to take his order. [I]Bale sure is a lively city,[/I] he thought. [I]For one so small, I've never seen such activity.[/I] The waitress walked over, and he ordered fried eggs, fried fish, and a glass of fresh milk. Once they got there, he started to eat while he thought. [I]Today is the one-year annaversery of my trial from the Stone. Alot sure has happened since then.[/I] He glanced up, and saw a peculiar man walk in. If it wasn't for his bright-red hair, his appearance would have been menacing. The bow slung across his shoulder, as well as the sword held lightly in his hand, were curious to Simple, and it got him thinking. [I]That one seems important for some reason. I'm not sure what for, but I'll let the winds of fate take me wherever they will.[/I] He quickly finished his meal, grabbed his spear, and walked over to the man. "Hi," Simple started. "My name's Simple, and I'm new here in town. Mind if I sit and talk with you?"

[FONT=Fixedsys][COLOR=Blue][B]Code Name / Call Sign:[/B] Retro [B]Gender (If Applicable):[/B] F [B]Location:[/B] Gatorville, Florida [B]Age:[/B] 30 [B]Personal Appearance (Images are acceptable):[/B] [URL=http://www.funkypair.com/ProductImages/COSTUME/83048.jpg][B]Retro[/B][/URL] [B]Personality/Behavior:[/B] Retro is the typical hippy. Mellow, laid-back, and quirky, she's always a hoot-an-a-half, but she's always ready for a good "overthrow the government" sceme. [B]Personal History:[/B] Retro, real name Carolyn Dawse, was born in Washington, DC during the seventies. When she was growing up, she was thrilled by the age she was born in, never wanting to leave it behind. Thus, her alter-ego was born, Retro! After high school, she traveled around in a Circus, being the only job she could keep due to her, well, unusuall clothing and "talents." The Circus eventually closed, leaving Retro stranded in a town called Gatorville in Florida. While there, trying to figure out what she was going to do with her life, she found a small group of "super heros," and decided that they, of all people, would understand her. From that day on (yesterday in the story once the story starts), she's spent her time as a member of Hero Patrol. [B]Special Skills or Abilities (If any):[/B] Retro has "psycadelic" powers, albit a bit useless at times. [B]Flower Power[/B] - Retro, just like magic, randomly brings up some flowers seemingly from nowhere...now, how this "power" helps in any battle, God only knows, but it sure is nice when you need to make a fresh, new flower necklace! [B]The Power of Love[/B] - When surrounded by a group of evil villans - or a mob of 70's haters - she does a little dance to make them fall in love with her. Or so she thinks, as this "power" is nothing more than an illusion conjured by her mind. [B]Smoky Haze[/B] - This is the only real power she has. When she gets out her "magic bag," smoke fills the air, making everyone...well, less themselves. You get the idea...[/COLOR][/FONT]

Some of you may have noticed that I have a Random Quote entry in my signature, and I change it periodically. I was wondering what some of everyone else's random quotes are. They can be anything from something someone you know said, to a stupid lable on a product. I'll start off with a couple of my own. - If everything tastes like chicken, what the hell does chicken taste like? - Directions on a shampoo bottle: Just add water. Okay, these are just two of my many quotes...don't want to ruin "Random's Random Quote," now, do I? So, let's hear something random... [EDIT] [COLOR=DarkRed]As per Panda's post, a few down from this one, I've decided to change the point of his thread. Basically, after you list your Random Quote, put in an explanation for why you like the quote, where you saw/heard it, and any other little tidbit of info you would like to add. As a special twist, after a month's time, I'll take the most Random-worthy quote and make it, and the user who posted it, my Signature's theme for approx. six weeks. In addition to public fame, or humiliation, I'll be nominating the winner in next year's Nifty Fifty! Good luck, and my the best quote win![/COLOR]

Alright, guys, one more addy! Try and include the new character, kk? Takamor`e - Shadow Wolf You're in, so post away! Any questions, post here or PM Vampire_Fox or myself. -Random

Oh my dear Lord...*thinks hard*...er, too many to list? :animeshy: hehe :animeswea um, ya. Okay, I'll let you in on a little secret. It has to do with Linkk. My lovely friend Linkk...who I love. LINKK, I LOVE YOU! um, ya...okay, so, here goes nothing. One day, just over a year ago, I found out that Linkk liked me. I don't mean, "hey, you, you my friend." I'm talking about, "I love you, mo-fo! marry me!" Okay, a little over-excessive, but you get the point. Anyways, she invited me and one of my friends, who worked with us, (that's right, Linkk and I worked together) to go bowling for one of her friend's birthday shindings. Anyways, long story short, I found out that she liked me, and I kinda...played along? Not quite the right word, but I think you guys get my drift. I even went so far as to ask her out on a date, but then backed out of it when I saw that she was going to be seriously hurt. Don't automatically put a lable on me, please. It was a stupid dare from Lyndsey...the other co-worker there...and I'm not too proud of it. And, to top it all off, I'm gay, so it never would have worked...damn, I was so stupid. After that, she and I had a couple of falling outs, for obvious reasons. But, in the end, we became super-close friends. It was definitally the [I]most[/I] stupid thing I've done in my life, but I got one of my best friends out of it, and I learned my lesson, as well. I think I'm a better person for it, and so does she. So, ya, a little trip down Random's deep, dark memory lane...Ciao! -Random PS: Hope you don't mind I told everyone that, Linkk...I just needed to get it out, eh?

Hardest =final= boss, eh? Interesting. I have only two final bosses that I've had any trouble with. First is all the friggin' forms of Ultamicia (spelling??) in FFVIII...Griever always killed me, what with his version of [SPOILER]taking magic from your characters, and crippling mine in the process.[/SPOILER] My characters where all at level 100, but I still can't seem to beat her. WHAT HAPPENS???????? Arg....*sigh* whatever The second one that I had some trouble with was the final boss in Legend of Legia...another one I've yet to finish. Although I've not played the game in...*thinks hard*...over three years, I still pitty myself for not beating it. Meh... As for "not-final" bosses, the award must go to Sephiroth in KH. Damn, that mo-fo's hard. Even after beating [I]every other friggin boss[/I] in the game, except for after him, he [I]still[/I] kicked my arse...and in no time, flat. Well, I've finally beat him now, so TAKE THAT, SEPHIROTH! A close second goes to one of the final battles with Seymore in FFX. The one up on Mt. Gagazett. This form had me trying, and trying, and trying...but, glad to say, he finally fell before Rikku's awesome Mix power...*laughs evilish* Well, that's it! Ciao! -Random
