Solayo

I haven't read the comics either but people I know who have read them say it's good and very addicting. I won't be able to play the game, since I don't have a PS3.

Bad habits? Of course I've got them. pulling bits of skin off my fingers... not doing what i promise to do...webcomics-wise... forgetting things that i'm not supposed to forget...not for my life... procrastination... Hm, I might need to list this down...

Wow, this is a pretty cool looking topic. I'll try to contribute. "Zetsuboushita!" - Itoshiki Nozomu (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) I can't think of any more right now...except for the dreaded "Dattebayo!" by Naruto...

I'm interested. Is it okay if there's a mix of more than one classification? Don't worry, with my set-up, my character can't use two different abilities at the same time. I don't think he can count as two people. Hahaha. I hope this pushes through. EDIT: I don't know if you've noticed, but I made the Journal Entry longer, and somewhat better (or at least it would be plausible that the scientist people wouldn't suspect that he really does have a mental disorder. I don't know if they even care lol.) EDIT EDIT: A little note I forgot to put in the journal entry... Aside from analyzing what makes stuff, he can also calculate distances and dimensions without the need for calculators...or something like that. Name: John Quilt/Jack (Quilt) Age: 25 Gender: Male Appearance: He is of average height and build, has brown hair that's not too short and not too long, has skin that's neither pale nor tanned, and has dark golden brown eyes. Yeah, he's pretty much your average, next-door-neighbor-type guy when it comes to appearance. As for clothing, he says he favors nothing in particular, but he is fond of hoodies, cargo shorts, and sneakers. Weapon: a door handle that went loose somehow (if ever that's possible... either that, or a doctor's pen, or maybe a syringe...a used one) Classification: Brain (John)/Tracker (Jack) Disorder : He thinks that he might have split personality/dissociative identity disorder, but is not sure. He does talk to himself a lot (either by conversation or journal/diary entry), and refers to his "other self" as Jack. Journal entry: Jack, We're still here. It's been a long time ever since they've started keeping us here. I wonder what's become of our family... I hope they're not here. I wouldn't want them to go through what we're going through. It's like we're doomed to die either way. We either die from their experiments or we die from not complying. And now, they plan to test us... What if we fail? [right]John[/right] John, Sorry if I can't seem to help us! Sure, they experimented on us and we gained freaking powers, but what can we do?! It would be okay if I'm like those so-called Hulks, or if you could move things with your mind! No, we only know where the exit is, but we can't even get there... Great. I'm hoping this test they're talking about would give us some opportunity to do something. And by the way, we know what became of our family. They're not here anymore. [right]Jack[/right] *John looks at what they typed and erases it. They do know that the journal is to make sure that they stay sane, so John starts again.* Jack, It's another day of experiments again. I don't know how much I can take this. You're probably the only one I can "talk" to right now. Thanks for being there. As much as I would like to know all about this so-called Project Ra that's probably named by people who still can't get over Egyptian mythology, I can't. Not even with me being a Brain, or so this lady named Scarlet calls people who have abilities like mine. The scientists running this whole thing have found out I have an aptitude for analyzing the composition of things, an ability which requires me to have more than just visual input. Then they found out that i also sometimes have the ability to smell things from far away. But even with these two abilities, I can't read their minds or smell what they think. I, and probably the others, have noticed that our numbers are dwindling. As of now, if my calculations are correct, there are only six others. I wonder what happened? Does it have something to do with this test they're planning for us? I think the chances of being able to leave are minimal, but I would like to express my desire to go back home. I still know it's there. [right]John[/right]

[quote name='Dagger' date='17 June 2010 - 09:52 AM' timestamp='1276739569' post='695439'] ETA: I'd like to learn Korean someday. Ideally, knowing Japanese will help facilitate that somewhat.... [/quote] I guess it will help somewhat, since their sentence structure is similar and there are some words with the same meaning that have almost the same pronunciation. Knowing Chinese helps with learning Japanese, I've found. Doesn't apply to me, though, since I don't know Chinese.

Hello. Uh, this is the first (and only) RP I've created (so far), but this is a sort of rehash. The original was in the WDX (World Domination X) forums. Nothing's changed from the original except maybe the flow of the story and the cast of characters. I hope to start a fresh RP soon... == I just hope this doesn't suck lol. ------------------------------------------------- Setting and Story: This is set in a world where guns have become sentient and are using humans in order to try and build a new order. Not all of the guns agree with this though, and they form a group opposing their fellow guns. This RPG is about the Gun Wars, the clashing of the two sides. ------------------------------------------------- Note Concerning the World of Playing With Fire: - this world is very, very fictional. and it's quite impossible even (in our world sense...) - different places can be modeled after different time periods (e.g. one place can be like England in the Middle Ages while another place can be like modern-day Japan) - basically, we, the ones who are in this RPG, make the world as we go along... when we introduce a new place, we give the name, and then a description - but if at some point we go back to a place already introduced, make sure the "time period" of the place is still consistent, unless something really drastic happened. *coughplacespecifictimemachinecough* - *if any other stuff come up, I'll add them here* ------------------------------------------------- Note Concerning Guns: - any kinda type of gun can be used (but don't make a supergun please... that's godmoding... although you CAN use a "futuristic" gun, like one with lasers...) - in the absurd world of Playing With Fire, Guns don't obviously look like guns. they take on a different object's form (hence "Form" in the character sheet... let your imagination go wild! hehe...) - the gun can transform to a more gun-like form if you want it that way - well, actually this is an idea for a comic and i thought of giving the guns a sort of human appearance thingy in the scenes when they talk to their humans...and so i gave them genders...hahaha... - *if any other stuff come up, I'll add them here* ------------------------------------------------- Note Concerning Humans: - if a Gun hasn't completely taken over his/her Human, then the Human still has the option of going against the Gun - a Human can be of any age, as long as he/she can still be able to handle a Gun - Humans need not really be "human"... at least, not in appearance - Humans aren't perfect and/or absurdly stereotypical... - *if any other stuff come up, I'll add them here* ------------------------------------------------- Note Concerning Gun-Human Relations: - usually Guns completely take over Humans, unless there's something preventing them, like strong will or something... - there can be male-male, female-female, male gun-female human, and female gun-male human pairs (well, those are probably the only possible ones... unless there are those with no distinct "gender") - Guns and their Humans can talk to each other through some sort of telepathy. Ordinary Humans can't overhear their conversations if they talk like this. - if a Gun wants to talk to an ordinary Human, he/she can use his/her Human to talk - Guns have a link to their Humans' brains so they always know whether their Humans are hungry, thirsty, going to pee, etc. - *if any other stuff come up, I'll add them here* ------------------------------------------------- Some Leftover Characters From My Comic/Fighting Game Idea: *you can use these if you want. if you're gonna use these, you can change some stuff if you want...* absurdly large fan laser cannon - performer in a Chinese circus psigun (a gun soul thingy using a telekinetic human to fire telekinetic bullets)??? - high school student high heel...gun... (can't think of a type...) - dancer gatling guitar case - traveling guitarist a toy gun that shoots acid (that doesn't melt the toy...o_O) - a grade school student ------------------------------------------------- Character Sheet *picture of Gun and wielder* Name: <- this is for the Gun Type: <- what kind of gun is it? Form: <- as said in the notes above, Guns are not gun in form, but rather take something else's form "Gender": Position: <- put here if your character is pro-Gun, pro-Human, or neutral Gun's Bio/Description: Human's Name/Age/Gender/Occupation: Human's Bio/Description: ------------------------------------------------- My Character... Okay, so these are merely concept sketches...nothing serious. I say that because I have difficulty drawing people in the middle of teenage years and adulthood. [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u257/yoroi-kun/Playing%20With%20Fire/jacquel_and_hayden_full_body.jpg[/IMG] From left to right: Jacquel, Hayden's gun form, Hayden as he appears in Jacquel's mind Jacquel is not in his usual clothing here... I just drew it so there would be some sort of parallelism between Hayden and Jacquel. For Jacquel, just take away the top hat (or something), open the overcoat, and wear the tie on his inside clothing. It might look too warm, but he's from a rather cool/cold place, so there. Hayden looks like a hobo lol. He also kinda reminds me of the Earl of the Millenium (D.Gray-Man). Weird. Sketches/color reference??? [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u257/yoroi-kun/Playing%20With%20Fire/hayden_face.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u257/yoroi-kun/Playing%20With%20Fire/jacquel_face.jpg[/IMG] Name: Hayden Type: rifle Form: a rather oversized black umbrella "Gender": male Position: pro-Human Gun's Bio/Description: He and Jacquel met each other in a store that sells umbrellas. He was abandoned by a Human who got scared of him and he was waiting for another Human to come to him and become his host. Jacquel, at that time, was doing his usual buy-an-umbrella-every-two-weeks thing and was looking for another unusual umbrella. He was found by Jacquel and, upon thinking he was a very unusual umbrella (black umbrellas are close to nil in this world), Jacquel attempted to take him off the rack thingy in order to check his price. But as soon as he was held by Jacquel, he made a link to his mind and told about his situation to him. Jacquel was reluctant at first but then agreed to be his Human. He thinks that Guns have no right to rebel against Humans because Humans made Guns to protect themselves. This is not really a conviction for him though, since he thinks that he might have thought this way because of his form, which is an umbrella, which is supposed to protect people. This is also the reason he is more of a defensive fighter than an offensive one. He has a tendency to want to be dominant but he still can't take over Jacquel's self. Because of this, Elline can't really tell that something about her brother has changed. Real can sense him though, and often bites him (the umbrella). His umbrella cloth can resist bullets (believe it or not) but not much cannon-type fire, and he can be opened for use as a shield. He has regular fire when closed, but has a beam-like cannon fire when open. Human's Name/Age/Gender/Occupation: Jacquel/24/male/tutor (heehee, Jacquel was 20 in the original, but I figured it was somehow too young...) Human's Bio/Description: He's a peace-loving young man whose last thing on his mind is to wield (or be wielded by) a Gun. He might be a bit timid, but he can be courageous when the situation calls for it. He doesn't have much experience with shooting, but he is surprisingly strong, as he can carry and use Hayden with only one hand (despite Hayden being supposed to be a two-handed weapon). He also knows a bit of fencing, in case he needs to engage in hand-to-hand combat. He has an older sister named Elline and a pet dog named Real, both of whom he cares for very much. He also has a penchant for collecting umbrellas, which led to his *unfortunate* meeting with Hayden. Alright! Let's get this thing going! ==

Well, Tagalog is my first language, and I got exposed to English via the media and school. And since I am in the Philippines, Spanish is a bit of a necessity when it comes to money and time. I also took Japanese classes, because foreign language was a requirement in my first course, which was Linguistics. I can write somewhat, but my speaking skills are way below par. Languages I am interested in learning: - Bicolano/Bikolano (because my mother speaks it and I can only understand it somewhat and not able to speak it) - Mandarin (because many people speak it...?) - Korean (because there are a lot of Koreans here in the Philippines, and I really would like to be able to read those signboards) - Italian (because I am doing this comic which concerns the Mafia, and I am sort of curious as to how some of the characters will say some of their lines)

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial] It's a well-intentioned question, but unfortunately is very easily answered. The answer is always yes, since the answerer can always throw down the "people all have different values" card. That's all well and good, but it doesn't really make for good discussion. So I propose a related question: are there things or ideas?which you believe are supremely important and which others do not?where you cannot understand how these others can view these ideas so trivially? And bother scholastics.[/FONT][/QUOTE] Thanks for that... I kinda felt that question I asked was rather rhetorical...oh well... Haha, let's go with Allamorph's proposal then, shall we? =^_^=

[quote name='2008DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Anime, and otakudom in general. My friends all make fun of me for being too much of an otaku and get pissed at all my anime spewing babble. Hell, even this site picks on me for being an otaku (they need to change the ****ing name of this site...). Anime is simply my way of life, and it's the same way for millions of other people out there (expecially in a certain other country) and there's no one on the outside who understands it. Everyone has their owwn way of hating it, from the douchebags who think culture integration is for fags to people who yap on about how retarded a 2d Complex is when they don't know the first thing about it. Otakudom is one of the most hated things one can have, regardless of where you live, only because most don't understand it. I'm glad, however, to have a friend who's a biger otaku than me, or I'd go crazy =_= [/COLOR][/QUOTE] I get this too... I'm reminded of the time I applied for an anime/manga lovers organization. My dad was against it since it was just a special interest organization and he thought it much better for me to join either an academic org or something like that. Anyway, I ended up failing to join probably because I was so thrilled at the prospect of joining an anime org that I forgot to work for it. =^_^=

Hahaha... I make so many mistakes here... Anyway, I want to start the random questions again but in a new way of sorts... This time, I'll just post one question at a time, leaving room for discussion (I hope...) I won't be posting new questions regularly though. My time's gonna be as random as my questions! Here's my first question... Are there times when you consider something very important but other people think otherwise? For me, yes there are. Like drawing comics, for instance. I think it's important because it can be my way of expression and it can be my way of influencing others but some of the people I know think it's not important because for them, it's just scribbling stuff on paper and such.

Well, one time I was asked to think of random questions and I thought of 148...but I never got to ask them so I'm asking them now!!! Wahahaha! Try answering them all! 1.if you were to get a body part that is supposed to be exclusive to the opposite sex, what would it be? 2.do you think that cats and dogs were meant to fight? why? Why not? 3.what would you like to be, an angel or a demon? why? 4.if you were offered a chance to live forever, would you take it? why? 5.if you were to, by any chance, get a superpower, what would it be and what would you use it for? 6.if you were to pick your own zodiac sign, what would it be and why? 7.do you think logic is logical? why? 8.what do you think is the difference of sex and gender?

I was expecting you would call right about now. I see you have a problem. Would you like to tell it to me?" What would your reaction be? 41.let's say you're a very famous mangaka, and you're starting to treat your job as work instead of fun like you used to do when you started drawing and such. then one night, as you're working on your latest manga, you get transported to the worlds of your early manga. there you meet your early (and probably unrefined) characters and they seem to remind you of the old days when you're not caught up with all those complicated stuff. after some time, you end up back in your room. what would you feel at that time? 42.you live in a world that is terrorized by strange and powerful creatures and you are the only one who can defeat them. let's say that there is only a certain number of them and you are currently looking for the last of those creatures. later on, you find out that you're the last one. what would you do? 43.let's say you're a wannabe superstar. you go to Hollywood and you find that nobody wants to support you. then you throw one of your performances on the street and someone finally seems to appreciate your talent. the person then introduces himself/herself as a manager looking for a star. he/she shows you a mysterious contract and says that if you sign the contract, you will become famous. would you sign the contract? 44.why do you think some people can't wait to grow up? 45.which of these would you rather believe: that life is like the movies or movies are like life? 46.do you believe that sometime in the future, robots will be able to feel human emotions? 47.of the four seasons found in countries in the temperate regions, which do you like the most and why? 48.there are some things people call the seven deadly sins. which of those is most personified by you? 49.let's say that you're a driver for hire. what would be your craziest driving job? 50.what would you feel if aliens somehow took over the world and you're the only human left? 51.let's say you're in the wild west and you're one of those outlaws. what would you do if someone came up to you and told you that the sheriff of one of the towns is dying and you're chosen as the replacement? 52.what would your reaction be if you came across a town that has holes everywhere? holes in the buildings, clothing, etc. 53.when do you get to spend quality time with your family? 54.what would you do if suddenly all of the trees and other plants in the world suddenly disappeared? 55.let's say that you're a really hardworking businessman/businesswoman. you work so hard that you don't have any time for yourself at all. then one day, when you wake up, you find yourself as a kid again, and you are in the house you lived in when you were with your parents. you go to the kitchen, and you see your mom cooking. you go to the living room and you see your dad reading the morning paper. you go outside, and you see your old neighborhood. how would you deal with this sort of situation? 56.do you think that there should be discrimination in the world? 57.which do you think is the best exercise for you? 58.if you were given the chance to go to any country in the world for free, where would you go and why? 59.which do you think is the weirdest language you?ve ever heard someone speak? 60.do you think the Nobel Prize is all that great? 61.which would you rather write: a report or a story? 62.what is the strangest introduction you?ve ever read/heard? 63.do you think love does have a definition?

As for me, I got my screenname (Solayo) from a character from a comic I'm working on (which I'm gonna be putting up in the fan manga section of MyO soon...) My MyO screenname (Lundeth) is also from a character in that same comic... If you're still wondering...: Solayo - from sol (sun) and bios (life) Lundeth - from luna (moon) and death (death, duh!!!) =^_^=

Whoops. Sorry. I'll make sure I don't do that again. Thanks for the warning. ^_^
