[Color=DarkBlue]Gah! I'm sorry everyone! I will get to posting questions and such tomorrow. I'm sorry, school's been kicking my poor behind. ;;[/color]

[Color=Darkblue]You're just slyly refering to me, aren't you White? XP Don't stress out so much, we've got an entire week and two of us have already introduced ourselves! Well...counting the two of us, after everyone's read my post. Since I've been told I've got a huge ego, I was going to introduce myself first, but then I decided against it, for obvious reasons. So I'm going to steal your format White. [B]Team Name:[/B] I like the Titans. It makes me think of Hercules, which makes me think of Kingdom Hearts. [B]Team Colour:[/B] Green is very good. I like green. Go for green. [B]Team Flag:[/B] I think we should leave it in your hands as well. After that, we can all share in a very pwetty banner with said team flag~, if you're up for it White. [B]Team Captain:[/B] Beth, I put my faith in you! My votes lives in you! [B]A little about myself...[/B] Well, what can I say about myself? I'm light/dark brown haired (depends on the lighting and so on.), brown eyed, 17 and very male, last time I checked. I love to crack jokes when I can, especially when I'm feeling down, if only to get a laugh from others. I've grown-up all around the states and plan on hopefully finishing school over here in Europe, if only to not have to switch languages after I graduate (I'm lazy like that. :P), plus I'd prefere not to have to leave my friends behind. I also have a scary obsession with Internet smileys, I just noticed, ehehe. I look forward to wokriong with you four and here's to Team: *insert name*![/color]

[Color=darkblue][B]Note:[/B] This is a closed RP sign-up thread. There are 3 others that know to sign-up and I will NOT accept any other sign-ups, not matter how good they are. ?It?s been years since I?ve needed to use them Syaoran. I should seal them away before?well, before I forget about them and lose control over them.? Sakura told her husband as they both sat on a couch in their living room. ?Sakura, there?s no way?you?re the most powerful person in this kind of magic. You can?t just seal away the Sakura Cards! Are you sure that?s even possible?? The brown haired man asked, starring deep into his wife?s eyes. ?I?ve been in contact with Eriol and he believes it would be possible. However, he suggested that I try one last prediction of the future before I seal them, to see if they?ll be found again and by whom.? Sakura replied. She stood up from the couch and walked over to the book case, pulling out a case that all contained 52 paper thin cards, a curious one on the top. The Hope ran in big letters on the bottom and a well-dressed young woman was the big picture. Sakura set the case on the table and removed all the cards, shuffling them and smiling at Syaoran who watched his face tense with worry. ?Sakura?? ?Syaoran, don?t worry. All I?m going to do is ask the cards a simple question, that?s all.? She replied, smiling. She quickly began to shuffle the cards and laid out the top seven in three rows down and closed her eyes. She felt the power of the cards and flipped over the right card in the first row, the middle card in the middle row and the left card in the third row. ?Freeze, Time and Twin.? Syaoran whispered. Sakura opened her eyes and looked at the cards, her face not showing her confusion. ?Syaoran, those three cards are supposed to tell us about the future of the cards. Freeze?Time and Twin in that order?I?m not sure what to make of it.? ?Then I don?t think we should continue the reading until you consult Keroberos, who knows what power the cards still hold.? Syaoran suggested, looking to the stairs. ?Kero-chan! Could you come here for a second?? Sakura called as she got up from the table. A small stuffed animal floated down the stairs and yawned looking to the older woman, ?Whadaya want? I was sleepin? ya know.? Sakura pointed to the table and the yellow lion rubbed his eyes and looked at the cards, shocking himself awake. ?Finish the reading.? Sakura sat back down and closed her eyes, flipping over the other two cards in the first and last rows, and then flipped the right card in the middle row. ?Earthy, Light, Mirror.? Kerberos softly said, looking to Syaoran, ?The last card please.? Sakura went to turn over the last card but a rough grunt from the stuffed animal caused her to pull her hand back rashly. ?I meant the brat should do it.? ?Kerberos, even after all these years, you still find the need to call me that?? Syaoran asked, offended. ?Yeah, now turn over the card.? He replied loudly. Syaoran sighed and did as he was told, touching the card and feeling the warmth and power behind as he flipped it over. ?Windy.? ?Kero-chan, what does it all mean?? Sakura asked, looking to her old friend and guardian. ?The first three cards say that they will escape again, but the effect they have will be much greater, stopping something from happening. In fact, it?ll have the same effect twice. The first part comes from the Freeze and Time Card. The second part is obviously the Twin card. Now..the second part?it?s darker. Sakura, you will not be able to get many of the cards back, if any. You will be replaced and your replacement?will be?? Kero-chan trailed off. ?Will be what?? Sakura asked. ?Brat, I need to speak with Sakura privately, could you go?? Keroberos asked, grinning wickedly at Syaoran. ?Sure, whatever.? The brown haired man replied, walking out of the room. The floating yellow lion floated over to Sakura and began to whisper in her ear, causing her to gasp and cover her mouth. She quickly gathered up all the cards and stuck them back in the case. ?Syaoran, I?ve got to go. I should be back in a couple of days.? ?Where are you-? Syaoran started, but Sakura was already out the door. [B]15 Years Later[/B] ?Kero-chan? Kero-chan!? Sakura called throughout the house, searching for her old friend. ?Sakura, he?s not here. He?s gone.? Syaoran responded quietly, laying a hand upon his wife?s shoulder. ?WHAT!? Where is he? I need his help?I?I?? She felt the tears begin to well up in her eyes. Syaoran laid a comforting hand upon her shoulder and then pulled her close to him, feeling her tear wet the front of his suit. Kerberos had warned him that this was coming, but he hadn?t expected it to happen so soon. Syaoran kissed the top of her head and smiled at her as she pulled away. ?The cards.? ?The?cards? Oh?? Syaoran started. He looked to the old bookshelf in the living room as it began to fill with a bright blue light. Sakura dashed for the bookshelf, but didn?t make it as a certain book flew off the shelf and glowed, opening itself. Fifty-two paper thin beams of light flew out and up into the air, but not before they each split into two. Sakura and Syaroran could only watch as the Sakura Cards flew out through the window and into the night sky. The reign of the Sakura Cards and the War was about to begin. Well, my dears, here we have it. My brainchild. (You can insert the evil laughter and fake lightening right there.) As you can see, this?ll be a Cardcaptors RPG that follows the very vague plot that CCS followed. Capture the cards. But, there will be many twists and turns in the plot, some for the good and some for the bad. There?s going to be a couple of really new things that I can?t wait to see whether they?re going to work or not. First, we?ll all take turns controlling the Sakura Cards. For each round, up to three Cards can appear and the person who?s in control of them can decide everything about their appearance and their effect on the environment. Each person?ll be in control of not only choosing the cards and how they pop up, but also who gets the card. So you play the judge! It?ll make things more fun if everyone gets a shot. I don?t think I need to warn you all to pick your wins by your critiques and not just because you think your great. ;P Second, each character has been picked by the four element cards, which balanced themselves out after becoming Sakura Cards. This card also tells you your Guardian. [B]Firey[/B] shall receive Kerberos, Windy will be in the hands of Yue, Spinel Sun belongs to the holder of the Earthy Card and Watery?s Guardian is Ruby Moon. Pictures and more can be found in the CCS Wikipedia article, which I?ll link at the end. Third, the four of us will be divided up into two groups, who live on two different continents. One group lives in Great Britain and will be ?lead? by Kaho Mizuki. The other group will be in Japan and have Sakura ?leading? their group. That is all. I leave you now with?.the sign-up~ [B]Name:[/B] British or Japanese you pick ;P [B]Country of Origin:[/B] (Great Britain or Japan? 1 place in GB is taken by yours truly) [B]Age:[/B] (12-14, nothing more, nothing less) [B]Appearance:[/B] A picture?s enough, unless you want to describe their capturing outfit or normal look. [B]Personality:[/B] Not too detailed, but a good overview is important [B]Family Members:[/B] Age and Name and appearance (if you want) [B]Sample:[/B] I?d love to see from you lovely ladies how your character reacts to finding their first card and meeting their Guardian. (Take your pick, if someone took the one you wanted, talk it out with the other person or bring it to my attention. I?ve got dibs on Watery) (If you guys want to create your own magical saying for capturing your cards, I?m all for it, just include it in here. ^^) (Description of your sealing wand would be nice too) As always, direct any and all questions in my direction or post them here. I cannot wait to get things started! (I'll get my sign-up here once one or two of you guys do. xD) PS: Wikipedia article linkage [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardcaptor_Sakura]CCS[/URL] [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura_Kinomoto]For Magical Sayings and examples of a Sealing Wand[/URL] [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus_%28Cardcaptor_Sakura%29]Keroberos[/URL] [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yue_%28Cardcaptor_Sakura%29]Yue[/URL] [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinel_Sun]Spinel Sun[/URL][/color] [SIZE=1][color=DarkGreen]I put the paragraph where you say this is a closed RPG to the top of this post, because that's a very important note, and it could very easily be missed if you mix it with the rest of the text. - Sandy[/color][/SIZE]

[Color=darkblue]What name would you like to be used for you during this competition? JJ What is your age and gender? A whooping 17 years old and male all the way. What country do you come from? I?m a full-blooded American, living in Europe What areas of OtakuBoards you consider as your strengths and weaknesses? (Choose one or two for both.) Strengths ? RPGs ? Creative writing/Literature Weaknesses ? Art/Graphics ? Discussions/Debates Name one member of OtakuBoards that you consider your friend here. Revelation is a good friend of mine What one thing would you take with you to a deserted island? I would take a magic refrigerator that would restock itself to my every wish at any given time. Why do you want to participate to OtakuBoards Survivor 4? I participated in Game On and couldn?t get enough of the competition and plotting that went on behind the scenes. It was so much fun and I got to know a lot of OB members a lot better through the game. Making new friends is always a good thing. That and I'm out for blood this time around~. (That and I won?t put White in first place again. Nope, not ever again. :P)[/color]

[Size=1]Wow, lots of people seem to like Bleach, Naruto, NGE and Death Note.... Dernit. 1. Air TV- Possibly the sadest anime I've ever watched. [spoiler]Watching Mizusu die in the last episode about killed the emotional center of my brain @.@[/spoiler] The various characters and their [spoiler]"happy endings"[/spoiler] always brought a smile to my face, in between the tears. Wind ~A Breath of Fresh Air~ - Another tear jerker, although not until the end. The short under 15 minute episodes didn't leave for a huge amount of character development, but a goog deal did still happen. Another good one for those days where you just wanna cry. hinthint. Tsubasa Chronicles - Seeing the manga moving is always fun and the very few filler episodes are quite entertaining. I haven't finished the second season, but from what I've watched, I've enjoyed it greatly. The plot only gets better from what I've seen and can hardly stand the wait until the third and final season, if I understood correctly, starts. Bleach - What can I say, I'm the fan that's seen EVERY episode and has loved every minute of it. Filler arc included, I love Bleach for it's "round-ness", even if it's gotten a tad bit "emo" due to the filler. My hope is that the humor'll pick itself back up as the new arc begins. Rukia ftw. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Come on, to get me that hooked on twelve episodes, the show obviously had to be something great. From murder mysteries to other worlds, there was something for just about everyone in Haruhi. I'd suggest it to any anime fan. [spoiler]Even the fetished freaks get their fill of bunny-girls.[/spoiler] xD[/size]

[Color=DarkBlue][Size=1][B]Original Name:[/B] Darien [B]Order Name:[/B] Riexand (Ree-cks-end) [B]Number:[/B] VII [B]Code Name:[/B] The Peaceful Striker [B]Element:[/B] Nature [B]Weapon:[/B] [[URL=http://www.joyenterprises.com/wholesale_knives/whips/9_foot_leather_whip_-_min_3_pcs._13932.jpg]Leather Whip[/URL]] Riexand?s weapon of choice is that leather whip, with the Nobody symbol engraved into the handle. It?s totally black in color along the whip itself, while the handle is an almost blinding white. Part of Riexand?s Codename comes from his control over his whip, the other half, himself personally. Riexand?s style of attack is one of deadly head on force, not letting up until the enemy?s down for the count. [B]Nobody:[/B] The Moles ? The name of Riexand?s Nobdy may seem fluffy and cuddly, but in the flesh, it?s a totally different experience. Jutting out of their snouts are drills which allow them to burrow underground and attack enemies from beneath. Their specialty is surprise attacks and when faced head on, they usually crumble under attack quickly. Their fur is usually dark brown in color with the stomachs the same shade of white as Riexand?s whip handle. The drill almost seems natural, blending in as the snout of the Moles. It?s a little bit bigger than a normal mole?s snout, but still allows for quick getaways. [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://www.nautiljon.com/images/perso/grandes/Tsubasa_Chronicle/syaoran.jpg]Riexand[/URL] is not one of the biggest members of the Order, standing at about 5?0. His brown hair is kept short and straight, his bangs somewhat longer than the rest. Since becoming a Nobody, his skin?s paled somewhat and his eye color darkened as well. [B]Personality:[/B] Riexand is one if not the quietest member of the Order. He rarely speaks and when he does, it?s usually to point out something to someone. Small talk is not high on his list of things he enjoys and has been known to piss off people. Sometimes he tries to reach out to other Order members, if only to make sure that people still realize he?s around. Though his fighting skills leave an impression on people, he does not enjoy fighting much, preferring to let others fight for him. It?s not that he doesn?t want to fight; he just sees the end product useless. One thing Riexand would never admit would be his fear of Onix. The way Onix is and the power he seems to have scares Riexand and it?s the reason he joined the Order, so he would never have to fight against him.[/color][/size] OOC: Sorry about the delete/repost, but I figured it'd be easier to find this way.

[Quote=#4] Deep down below a square, Everything above is shaped there.[/quote] [Color=DarkBlue]My guess is the [B]Adventure Inn[/B].[/color]

[Color=DarkBlue]You just totally ignored everything I pointed out up there, didn't you? The same mistakes, repeated again. Dude. Seriously. Was all that work for nothing? You still don't watch your capaitilization, your punctuation or any of the other things I pointed out. I beg of you. Use a word processor. Think of posting your stories in the 'net as handing them into your teacher. If I were to print it out and give it to your teacher, what kind of grade would you get? It's crude and rude, but it sets you in sight of the goal you want to achieve. Nobody's perfect, but if you tie in school, people will look much higher upon you. Trust me.[/color]

*shakes head* You just totally contradicted yourself, tenfold. I needed a good laugh today, thanks. Besides, it should be YOUR job to go through, look at what I corrected and decide whether or not it fits. Its your story after all. Besides, if I did all the work for you, then you'd never learn. ^_^ PS: Do you even know what syntax means?

Well, forgive me for trying to help better your writing SK. I really thought that by showing you not only where your mistake was, but why it was a mistake, you'd learn more than if I just pointed out that this and this was wrong. I apologize and take my leave from the thread.

[Color=DarkBlue]Well, since all you did was check for spelling errors which you still missed, I'll do a basic copy edit to this for you because there's alot you need improve on and hopefully one or two things'll click for you. A word of caution, as I've been told by my editor, when using an 'and', you don't need to use a coma. For example, [Quote]The room was painted silver, and filled with old suits of armor.[/Quote] There's alot of places and I'll try to point them all out as I go along. [Quote]Hijar and Tala walked into the throne room, DC trailed(1) behind. The room was painted silver,(2) and filled with old suits of armor. (3)The throne was gold with red gems on te(4) top, and red gems on the bottom.(5) A maroon colored carpet went to the throne and led to the king and queen's bedroom.(6)[/Quote] (1) Either try to find another way to word the sentance, or use a gerund. eg. DC trailing behind or With DC trailing behind them, Hijar and Tala walked into the throne room. (2) With the coma here. Remember this. (3) Jumping from the room to the throne, especially after giving such small description of the latter is kind of sudden. Try to flush out your description here a bit more, without overwhelming the reader. (4) Spelling error, try 'the' ;) (5) Syntax here my friend. The golden throne was decortated from top to bottom with red gems. (6) Again, syntax. A maroon colored carpet stretched from the door to the entrances to the king and queen's bedroom, making a show of the thrones along the way. [Quote]Hijar sat,(1) and the others did the same.(2)(3)[/Quote] (1) ', and' Watch yourself. (2) Syntax. 'Hijar sat and the others followed suit.' sounds much better. (3) Where? Where did they sit? Details are your friends. [Quote]"Mother you called(1) us?(2) (3)Asked Hijar. The queen turned around and stood.(4) She was beautifu;(5), red-haid(6), and a great chest(7). She wore a skirt that was covered in gems. She wore red lipstick and eyeliner.(8)(9)[/Quote] (1) 'summoned' would be more appropriate, keep in mind, they're royalty. (2) forgot the other quotation mark. ;) (3) Don't capatalize after questions, unless it's a proper noun. (4) How do you turn around and stand? Try, 'The queen regently stood to greet her children and their friend.' Another point here to consider is, no one ever sat in the presence of royalty, unless they were higher up than them. (5) Spelling error. 'beautiful' (6) Syntax 'had brown hair (7) This last part is just trashy dude. You don't refere to a woman's breasts as a great chest. That's just rude. It's also quite insulting. Just don't make any mention of it, unless your writing porn. Then, find tasteful ways to refere to them. (8) These last two sentances could be brought together. 'Wearing a gem-covered skirt, her matching red lipstick and eyeliner just brought out the beauty in the gems.' (9) Once again, you really have trouble describing things. Textbook, she was wearing this, had this and this on and so on isn't interesting. There's alot of strategies you can use to make describing more fun for you and your reader. More after the corrections. [Quote]"Son I have called(1) you here to tell you something. You know of your sister's banishment?" (2)She asked. She stared at (3)tala like she knew.[/Quote] (1) 'summoned' (2) No capitialization (3) Capitalization [Quote]"We have always known since it happened."(1) Tala answered.[/Quote] (1) Syntax, syntax my friend. 'We have known the entire time' [Quote]"Well.(1) I knew that. Anyway I want you 3 to search for her. The knights have last seen(2) her at Cresent Kingdom." She sat back down.(3)[/Quote] (1) Coma, its an interjection, just not a strong one. (2) 'saw her', watch your verb tenses. (3) What does this have to do with her talking? Make that a seperate paragraph. [Quote]"Okay mom, but isn't that the hooker(1) kingdom(1)?" Hijar waited for an amswer(2)(3).[/Quote] (1) Is the hooker kingdom its nickname or real name? (2) spelling 'answer' (3) Again, no actions right after a quote, add in a 'questioned' or 'asked' then a coma then the action, being sure to use a gerund. [Quote] "Yes. But I have reason to believe that she has become a-" "Prostitute." Said Hijar(1) "Yes. (2)that will become(3) really-" "Annoying?" Hijar asked. "Yes. Stop finishing my-" "Food." Replied Hijar.(4) "Anyways. DC will turn into that dragon thing and bring you guys there. (5)But Tala must first dress as a puppy. (6)And take this false ID(7). She will be called (8)"the prostitute(9)(10). Then take it from there."[/Quote] (1) 'Hijar said' Syntax (2) Capitalization (3) Isn't it already annoying? Verb tense (4) In general, these kinds of talks don't require action, it's obvious what's being done/said/asked. (5) Try not to start a sentance with but (6) Same with and (7) Syntax again. 'First, Tala must dress herself up as a puppy and you should use this fake ID.' (8) If she's got a fake ID and that's the name on it, she has to be called that, substitute 'should'. (9) It's a proper noun, capitalize it. 'The Prostitue' (10) Use apostrophe's when using quotes within a quote. [Quote]Tala stared at her mother.(1) "Hell no." She replied. "Then Hijar." She said. Hijar shook his head.(2) "No. DC who should be the prostitute?" (3)Asked Hijar. DC stood up and scratched his head.(4) "Tala." he blurted. "Then it's settled. The suit is in this ches.(5)" The queen brouht(6) out a chest. Hijar started to laugh. DC was laughing. But hiding it. He startted(7) to tear.(8) "Shut the fuck up." Tala yelled out.(9)[/Quote] (1), (2), (4) Syntax, either work this the same way as I talked about earlier at the end of the sentance as a gerund, or put the dialog under the action. (3) Syntax 'Hjar asked' (5), (6), (7) chest, brought, started (8) Once again, these could all be brought together into one sentance. 'Hijar began to laugh, DC silently joining him with tears forming in the corner of his eyes.' (9) Gratuitous cussing, it's OK to a certain extent, but don't go overboard. [Quote]"Well lets go" DC said. (1)He transformed into a black dragon. Red spickes(2) and blue wings started to form. (3)"Hop on guys." He said. (4)The dragon form of DC burst out of the kingdom and flew east(4). "So then act like a dog and show nothing that would make us noticed.(5) don't(6) poop neither(7)." Hijar jested. (8)Tala (8)llooked at him. She frowned then turned.(9) The wind blew Hijar's scarf off.(10) They continued. Off into the sunset they flew.(11)[/Quote] (1) New paragraph. Put more detail into his change. (2) 'spikes' (3) New paragraph (4) New paragraph, how do you burst out of the kingdom? Is it really that small? (5) Syntax. 'Act like a normal dog and don't do anything to bring unneeded attention upon yourself or us.' (6), (7) Grammer/Capitalization, double negatives = baaaaad 'Don't poop either.' (8) Spelling/Syntax 'looked' New paragraph (9) Once again, combine your sentances. 'Tala looked at him frowningly, quickly turning away.' (10) What does this have to with Tala? New paragraph (11) New paragraph, more detail, all together. 'They continued, flying off into the sunset.' It may seem like alot, but alot of it can fixed very easily. You're on your way, keep working at it. PS: If you don't have a Word Processor and plan on actually continuing writing, I'd suggest downloading one. They're a huge help and they'll catch more than half of the mistakes I pointed out to you. PPS: Tical, you're not helping at all the way you point things out. Either point 'em out right, or don't so it at all.[/color]

[Size=1][Color=DarkSlateGrey]SK, it shows that you're trying to put more effort in, but you're still really falling short. If you want this to really have a story feel to it, introduce the characters while you tell the story, not as a seperate part. It's actually quite annoying to have character profiles thrown at you with no idea where they're coming from. Another thing is spelling. Do you Microsoft Word? If you do, use it to type your stories. It catches most spelling mistakes and can help with your syntax as well. Or at least copy/paste the finished copy there first. You can also ask around and see if someone'll correct it for you as well. I know most of my written stuff goes through my editor before I post it. You're getting there and I applaude you for that. Just keep working at it and you'll get the hang eventually. ^__^[/color][/size]

[Color=DarkSlateGrey][Size=1][B]Name:[/B] Kyra Jan Keuck is his full name, although he prefers the nickname Jay. [B]Age:[/B] 13 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Ethnicity and Place of Birth:[/B] Jay is a full blooded German, born and raised in Heidelberg, Germany. [B]Ability:[/B] Jay has the power to force any disease he so wishes on someone. He also controls how fast the disease spreads and how quickly it enters the various phases. Whether it affects one person or a million is all up to Jay. [B]Appearance:[/B] Jay?s big brown eyes are the first things that cause people to wonder whether he?s really his mother?s child. In contrast to his mother?s small green ones, his eyes compare to those of a deer?s. Another thing is his brown hair, which is always short in the back with longer bangs in the front. His clothing really doesn?t set him apart form the rest of the world. A pair of jeans and whatever T-Shirt Jay can find are usually on the menu, although every once and a while Jay will dress up in nice pants and a shirt with a collar. [B]Biography:[/B] Krya Jan Keuck was born to a very crazy and very disturbed woman. Already half out of her mind when she was impregnated by some guy so picked up on the street, nine months of carrying a child without anyone to help her drove her over the edge. After giving birth to a baby boy, she moved out into a secluded area in the country. It was there, as Kyra began to grow and develop that he found the hard way about tough love. From his mother who constantly verbally abused him, to the kids at school who ridiculed him for his name, he never got a break. As the years passed, his mother?s abuse started to become more serious, her words becoming more painful, more hate-ridden. Slowly but surely, his mother also began to hit him as well. As with everything else in his life, it began with slaps to the behind and escalated into slaps that?d send him flying across the room when he turned twelve. The thing that Kyra could never understand was that he never did anything. He would be walking down the street and the kids would just start throwing rocks and calling him a girl. He would just run and hold back the tears as the rocks pelted his back. With his mother, it was asking the wrong question or saying the wrong thing. Questions such as, ?How are you today Mother?? or ?Can you help me with my homework?? earned him a backhand and saying ?Hello? or ?Good morning? earned him a kick to rear. One day, Kyra decided to stop going home and to school, fed up with the way he was being treated. The next morning, he packed up his few intact possessions and set out, catching a bus into the city. He had planned to make money betting on the streets, but was instead quickly picked up within a couple days by a group of homeless people who proceeded to then rape him. Kyra, who woke up remembering and savoring every horrible minute didn?t know it, but in a few minutes, his life was going to change for ever. As he stood up and tried to find his torn and scattered clothing, a voice came to him. [B][I][Do you desire more?][/B][/I] ?More than this.? He responded. [B][I][What?s the one thing you wish for more than anything?][/I][/B] ?Revenge. Revenge on my mother, those kids, those hobos?? Kyra trailed off? [B][I][As you wish?][/I][/B] Kyra didn?t feel any different, but he knew there was something different about him. It wasn?t until he saw those hobos again that he found out why exactly he felt different. After they all died of various STDs, Kyra realized he needed to change his name. So he adapted the nickname Jay and went back to his mother and the school he used to go to. He didn?t stay for long, setting off a string of the pest and leaving, grinning like a madman as he stepped over his mother dead body. She was never going to harm him again. As he stepped into the sunshine, he was contacted again. [I][B][Have you achieved that which you set out for?][/B][/I] ?Yes, I have.? [I][B][Then come join my army. Help me cleanse this world of people like those you who hurt you.][/I][/B] ?Gladly. I am your servant.? Jay responded, smiling. [B]Other:[/B] Jay came willingly to Nemesis and is a devoted solider. [/color][/size] OOC: I shall finish this by tomorrow. Just wanted to make sure no one got the bright idea I did. Awesome idea Ken. EDIT: And done, just as promised.

I've started doing the same thing with my Mesmer, Gilia, so yeah, I'd be up for it. She also hasn't beaten it, so it should be fun. I'm up for it anytime you are, Papa Smurf.

[Font=Arial][B]Area:[/B] I'd like Raccoon City or The Island, but I'm game for anything. [B]Why?[/B] It's a new concept and I want to be a part of it. The concept itself also intrests me alot, because it has so much potential. I find myself a competent role player and I think I could add something positive to the group. [B]Sample[/B] [Quote=Digimon: Immersion v2.0, RP from Takuya]"Armor Piercing Blade!" The Meramon Ginryuudamon had been battling went down with a yell and devolved back to the Hawkmon it was a few minutes ago. JJ smiled quickly and turned away from the player that had just lost. The luster of destroying partners had disappeared and JJ was getting sick of running from the groups anyway. According to his digivice's information page, it appeared like Ryuudamon's Ultimate form was very close. JJ smiled. The now Ryuudamon and Tentomon walked and hovered next to him as he continued down the path. The "training" area was really starting to bore JJ and the sounds of the huge battle coming from the area where the fortress currently were only increasing his lust for a great battle. "Ryuudamon, Tentomon, do either of you have any idea how we could avoid the big battles going on around here and still get into the Fortress?" JJ asked, looking at the both of them. Ryuudamon shrugged, but Tentomon stuck a claw up in the air. It looked like he was actually going to contribute to the group for once. JJ looked at him and Tentomon began without eye contact: "There's side entrance that the good know about. It'll lead to a huge audience chamber where the final battle'll take place. Problem is, it'll be full of good newbies trying to get in and see the action. Most'll be taken out by the various guards, but still..." "Let's go. The guards won't bother us and we can try and get in on the action in some way or another by leaving the passage," Ryuudamon suggested. "I'm game, lead the way Tentomon." JJ replied. Tentomon looked at him funny for a few seconds. Had JJ actually referred him by name? Was JJ starting to like him? Tentomon shuddered at the thought and hovered forward, moving towards the huge explosions. JJ and Ryuudamon followed, not saying a word and keeping each other's pace. It was something they had done since the beginning, one of the many things they unconsciously did, that showed their closeness. Ryuudamon tensed as they left the forest area they had been in and entered the real battlefield. Already, many players on both sides were holding rookie digimon and running away while even more continued to scream commands at the giants lumbering around. JJ and Ryuudamon could only stop and watch for a few seconds as Tentomon took off, nearly leaving the other two behind. The group made it to the side entrance with minimal damage. They only had to dodge a couple of stray or deflected attacks. JJ almost smiled at Tentomon when he pointed out the entrance, which now looked clear. The group rushed for it, but were cut off by a player that jumped out from the entrance, surprising Ryuudamon and causing JJ to stumble backwards. "Where do you think you're going? This is for good players only, you scum wad," the newcomer stated. JJ growled and stared at the player. "How're you gonna stop me? I don't see any digimon around here." "Elecmon!" the other called. The fuzzy dog digimon appeared from behind the player and growled at Ryuudamon who had already taken a battle ready stance. Both players called out their commands and the battle started. Both rookie traded blows. Elecmon fired off successions of Sparkling Thunder, which kept Ryuudamon out of Iai Blade range. Luckily, Ryuudamon still had his helmet. "Helmet Return!" Ryuudamon whipped his head back and flung his helmet at Elecmon. It smacking the other rookie square in the face and stunned him temporarily. Ryuudamon didn't waste his time, charging in forward. "Iai Blade!" The blade on Ryuudamon popped out and as he was about to ram it into Elecmon, its partner hit the digivolution button. It threw Elecmon into a white light and deflected Ryuudamon's attack. JJ quickly followed suit, eloping Ryuudamon in the same white light. Elecmon finished first, emerging as Sheepmon and Ginryuudamon popped up not long after. The two opponents glared at each other for but a second and began to attack one another. "Wool Grenade!" Sheepmon launched the grenades from the cannon on its back, forcing Ginryuudamon to jump to the side to avoid the blasts. Ginryuudamon charged and Sheepmon let off another barrage. Ginryuuamon jumped off his path. JJ, meanwhile, was desperately trying to figure out a strategy for actually winning this battle. He looked to Tentomon, who had been watching the entire battle anxiously. "You want to go help at all?" "Me? Go help? Of course," Tentomon responded quietly. "Then go, Ryuudamon needs your help right now," JJ answered. "Rightio Boss," Tentomon whispered. JJ watched Tentomon fly out in the battle and winced when he heard a second digimon's voice. "Hard Brick!" Tentomon swerved to the side to avoid a brick that had flown out of nowhere. "Don't think you'll be interrupting this battle you annoying insect," the thrower announced. "Oh, really now?" Tentomon asked, getting cocky. "Yup. Once Sheepmon wins, he'll come after you and it won't be pretty turning into digital data at all, now will it?" Armadillomon answered just as cockily. Tentomon ignored his taunting and responded with something more dangerous instead. "Super Shocker!" The Armadillomon quickly rolled into a ball and the shock only hit his shell. Tentomon was expecting it and quickly dive-bombed the rookie when he uncurled. "Talon Attack!" Armadillomon could only watch as Tentomon's claw slammed into his face and flipped him over. The insect quickly followed with a second Super Shocker. The electric attack surged through Armadillomon's body and caused him to howl in pain. Before Tentomon could try again, Armadillomon used his momentum to get back on his feet and immediately started powering up for his next attack. "Diamond Slamming Attack!" Armadillomon sent himself flying in the air towards Tentomon, who couldn't dodge in time. As the mammal digimon went down, Tentomon fell along, taking the impact of the fall as they both hit the ground. "Rhino Spin!" Tentomon began spinning, quickly throwing Armadillomon off him. He also began to spark, lightning bolts streaking out of the tornado that was he. "Diamond Slamming Attack!" Armadillomon threw himself at the tornado, but it reflected and threw him into the wall of the fortress. A lightning bolt followed Armadillomon and hit him as he slid down the wall. "Armadillomon!" the other player called as Tentomon stopped spinning. Tentomon expected the fell of the absorbed data, but all he got was that of Armadillomon's shell slamming in his chest. He had no time to counterattack as Armadillomon tore into him with a barrage of his Diamond Shell attack, causing him to cry out in pain. Armadillomon smirked and scratched the insect hard across the face. "Don't mess with me, ever." Tentomon only moaned and released the required data. Armadillomon absorbed it and walked off, leaving the rookie on the floor. JJ could only watch as Tentomon lost. He felt something deep down. One of his team members had lost. Wait, one of his team members?! Was Tentomon part of his team now? JJ shook his head, ran over to the rookie and picked him up. "You need to rest. That was a great effort," he told Tentomon. Tentomon just nodded and JJ hauled him back over to where he had been standing. That was when he was blinded by the white glow of digivolution. "Oh ****..." JJ muttered as he watched Sheepmon digivolve again to Pajiramon. Ginryuudamon was not faring well. He had gotten a couple of Battle Rod Breaks against Sheepmon, but after he'd pulled out Silence of Rams, Ginryuudamon's ears were ringing and he couldn't hear JJ's commands, which were sparse as it was. Ginryuudamon finally spotted an opening between the Grenades, but it was cut short as Sheepmon was pulled into the white light of digivolution again. Ginryuudamon cursed his luck and prepared himself for the worst. "Pajiramon!" "Armor Piercing Blade!" Ginryuudamon went in for the attack and as he was about to slam his sword into the goat digimon, Pajiramon showed how she could counterattack. "Thunder Stomp!" The ultimate jumped up in the air slightly and brought all four hoofs down; creating a bolt of electricity that flew towards Ginryuudamon. He couldn't dodge and felt the shock run through his entire body. He went down, moaning quietly. Pajiramon laughed and moved in on him. JJ watched, biting his nails. His mind was moving at twenty thousand miles per hour and he didn't know how to stop it. How could he help Ginryuudamon? He looked to Tentomon, but he was sleeping. The Healing Tablet JJ had used still left him in pain, so the player decided to let him sleep. Healing Tablet....Healing Tablet.... That was it! JJ clicked the item button and scanned through the list, sweat starting to break out on his face. There it was! JJ clicked twice and looked at the pop up asking "Are you sure you want to use this item?" JJ quickly clicked Yes and shut his eyes. It was going to either make or break this fight. Ginryuudamon was really starting to worry about losing when he felt the item attach itself to him. Ginryuudamon smiled as he felt something in his mind tell him exactly how to use it. "Jet Boosters are so convenient," Ginryuudamon commented as the boosters kicked in. He shot off into the air, flying high above Pajiramon, who just stared. Then she initiated her countermeasure. "Treasure Bow!" A bow appeared in her hands and a quiver on her back. She aimed for the skies and let the first one lose. Ginryuudamon didn't even see it; he was flying down too fast. He still tried to get into the best position to go for the gold. He needed to hit Pajiramon good and get her down so he could wail on her. If he missed, the battle was over and he had lost. He suddenly stopped and pulled back. He aimed for the ground and fired up the boost. Ginryuudamon was timing everything in his head, counting back from 10. As he hit one, everything happened at once. Pajiramon, who had been trying to hit Ginryuudamon, finally noticed him and let an arrow loose. Himself let loose his Armor Piercing Blade while JJ watched in anticipation. Ginryuudamon's Blade split the arrow and he smacked into the ultimate dead on. This caused the goat to buckled under and fall to the ground. Ginryuudamon's jet booster gave out and he backed up a couple of steps to charge Pajiramon with his blade once more, hitting her straight on in her chest. He felt her armor crack and jumped back. He was about to charge for the third time when Pajiramon realized what had happened. She tried to stand to no avail as her legs were still slowly coming back to her. A panicked look crossed her features as the champion charged for the third time, his blade digging into her. She cried out in pain and devolved, leaving the lowly Elecmon, very hurt, beat up and lying on the ground. Ginryuudamon, out of breath and not really in better shape, also devolved once he absorbed Elecmon's data. This time, along with the rush he got from winning, he felt something else. Something warm down inside, something he hadn't felt before. He padded over to JJ who patted him on the head and muttered about doing a good job. Tentomon had awoken and was currently moping behind JJ. The player gave Ryuudamon a Healing Tablet and walked over to his opponent. He was currently crouched over his partner, cooing at him, with Armadillomon huffing in the background. JJ tapped the player on the shoulder and as he looked up, he punched him in the face. "Don't ever challenge me again, you hear me? I won't be beaten by anything as stupid as you and next time, I'll attack you, and not just digimon vs digimon, capiche?" The player only nodded and JJ and the other walked into the fortress, determination etched upon all three of their faces. Above the fortress a single Digimon was circling, looking for something. He finally found it in the determined look of a player walking into the side entrance of the fortress. Could he be the one he was looking for? Either way, the Digimon decided to investigate, flying down into entrance of the fortress and moving swiftly through the corridors. He had to continue watching this player.[/quote][/font]

Wait!? I Actually Learned Something?! [b]Daycare[/b] (Kansas): Biting people does not get you what you want. Although, if it's that dinosaur... [b]Catholic School[/b] [b]Kindergarten[/b] (KA): Talking to the people during nap time is not a good idea. If you do get to do something special during nap time because you don't sleep, don't share it with anyone. [b]1st Grade[/b] (TN): When you're more advanced than the class, you tend to stick out alot. Teachers also don't like it all that much. [b]2nd Grade[/b] (TN): Teachers will hate you for being on the ball and knowing what's what. Also, rolling your eyes during your Yearbook photo is not a good idea, because it'll embaress you to no end. Even today... [b]3rd Grade[/b] (Utah): No matter what anyone says, never ever finish before everyone else and read a book. It's breaking the law. Also, allergies are something you should be ashamed of, even at such a young age. [b]4th Grade[/b] (Utah): Apparently, teachers have feelings too. If you play an instrument and for every extra toot you get fined, is so bad to yell out that the other teacher won't fine you for tooting? [b]Public School[/b] [b]5th Grade[/b] (GA): Wow, public school's not all that bad. Wait, you mean your allowed to be smart?! OMFG! Although, the bus driver most likely hates you for some reason... [b]6th Grade[/b] (GA): Middle School sucks ***. Especially when you're in the advanced social studies group and all you do is project after project after project. Science is also dull as a rock. [b]7th Grade[/b] (GA): Biology means cutting things open. Chasing after people with guts is never a good idea. Advanced Social Studies Projects? Hells yeah! And not laughing during Choral Performances is always a good idea. [b]8th Grade[/b] (GA): Rocks are the most boring thing on earth. Also, Galileo did not invent the telescope. It was some other guy hundreds of years later named Hubble... Learning Spanish is fun. Also, being different is bad. Verrry bad. So is trusting people. (Oh how I wished it was German...) Repeated the 8th Grade due to Language problems. As in, I didn't know enough Spanish to get into the 9th grade. 9th Grade=Spanish or Science, but with 3 languages, so I was stuck with Spanish. When that makes any sense... >>;;; [b]8th Grade[/b] (Germany): Wait, the class are all in GERMAN!? WTF? And they don't wear Lederhosen! Thank you Lord! Wait, being American is a good thing? Telling a classmate your gay is too!? Woah, where the hell did I just land? [b]9th Grade[/b] (Germany): The boys in your class are going to cause problems and be ********. Learn to deal with it. Also, trusting people is usually bad. Only trust those you wouldn't ever trust otherwise.

[Color=DarkBlue][Font=Arial][Size=1]Malika paced her room uncontrollably. A gathering at the General?s Tower had been called and Malika was sure she didn?t want to know exactly why. As she continued pacing, she heard the voice outside the door and stopped. Why would anyway be walking past her door? Malika?s curiosity overtook her worry as she cracked open the door and peered around. The hallway was empty again, but Malika could still hear the vague sound of footsteps coming down one of the hallways. ?To follow, or not to follow?? Malika asked herself. ?You?d best not.? A voice answered her, causing her to fall forward and open the door fully. ?Who the?? Malika started as she got up and dusted herself off. ?Malika, if you stick your nose where it doesn?t belong, you might lose it. How many times have I told you that?? The voice replied, starring sternly at Malika. Malika looked up into the eyes of her friend and half brother Jalik. She smiled at him and shut the door to her room. ?Yes, but there?s no fun in not sticking my nose where it doesn?t belong.? ?Fun will get you killed dear sister. Besides, you and I should be outside the General?s Tower right now.? Jalik mentioned ?Oh hush. You know as well as I what?s going to be said. Blah Blah Blah..War?Blah Blah Blah?our power?s needed and so on. It?s the same as last year. I don?t need a motivation speech or anything to that extent to know that we?re going to fight and win.? Malika shot back. ?How can you be so sure? Maybe we?ll be staying out of this conflict?? Jalik started. ?Are you out of your mind? Should I send you to the infirmary?? Malika asked, laying her hand on his forehead. ?No, that is quite alright. I?m fine, I promise.? ?Oh! So then you?ve got inside intel? You?d better spill or I?ll summon Smog?? Malika trailed off. ?I don?t know anything and if you summon that blasted dragon I will destroy it and you.? Jalik responded. ?You need to go, I?m going now and I expect to see you there when the General starts talking. Understood?? Malika did nothing as Jalik turned and walked back down the hallway he came from. Malika watched solemnly and disappeared back into her room. ?Should I actually listen to Jalik for once, or just ignore him?? Malika grabbed her staff from it?s resting place beside her bed and polished the crystal on top with her robes. Well, at least she could catch some other mages and ask their help with the little problem she?d be having with her summoning spells?[/color][/size][/font]

[Font=Arial][Center][B]Name:[/B] Malika Gréange [B]Age:[/B] 26 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Race:[/B] Malroy [B]Occupation:[/B] Mage [B]Weapon:[/B] A wooden gnarled staff with a light blue crystal orb is Malika weapon of choice. Cliché as it may be, Malika has always loved the feeling of good sturdy wood in her hands. She?s also started painting the wooden part blue through a magic spell she found in the library at the Mage?s Headquarters. [b]Spells:[/b] [I]Accio Prodigium (Summon Monster)[/I] Malika recites the all too familiar chant to summon one Monster of her choice from the ground. Her choices lay in those monsters she has killed before and knows the correct words to summon them. The words are learned from the monster themselves after Malika talks to them through another spell. It?s dangerous, pitting her against the monster for a second time with limited magic. After she defeats the monster, it explodes into a thousand particles, which then spell out exactly what she needs. [I]Aquilus Fulgor (Black Lightning)[/I] Malika once again recites a chant to gather her power. As the last word rolls off her tongue, a black streak of lightning streaks across the sky and a second then strikes the designated area, sending the normal voltage of electricity and a surge of dark energy as well. The dark energy saps life out of the met targets and feeds it back to Malika or anyone she commands it too. [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://www.kh2.co.uk/assets/kh2/images/img270.jpg]Here[/URL] Malika wears dark blue robes, as expected, although underneath she wears leather armor on her chest and leggings on her legs. [B]Personality:[/B] Malika is a very brash person. She acts first and thinks about it later. Her mouth runs at a mile a minute sometimes and it?s been know to get her into more than just one or two fights nightly. She does know how to listen though, letting people talk before she inserts her opinion, trying to keep up some form of politeness. Unknown to most though, Malika does have a soft spot for those who can?t or don?t want to speak up for themselves and has been known to jump to their aid. [B]Excerpt of Character:[/B] Malika sat in the library looking through a small, leather bound book. As her eyes scanned the page, the hair on the back of her neck stood up. Those words?they were the words that he uttered the night her parents died. It was those words that summoned the horrible creature that ate her entire family. Malika shuddered and closed the book, slipping it into her robes. She had to study this in private. She stood up from the table as was about to leave when she bumped into someone, knocking them over. ?I?m sorry.? Malika mumbled. The other person was quiet and unmoving, causing Malika to worry. She bent over and poked at the person once. ?You OK?? ?Yes, I?m fine.? She replied meekly. ?Good, now get up. You scared me.? Malika scoulded. The girl got up and Malika noticed that she had a scar on her face. She didn?t say anything, instead helping the girl gather up the books spread out all over the floor. Something wasn?t right with that scar and Malika vowed to find out what.[/font][/center] OOC: I will get this done before Monday, I promise. I?ll be busy all week, so Sunday?s the first day I can sit down at the computer and write again. XD Great Idea Jamie dearest~ EDIT: Done ^^

[Color=DarkBlue]A question, oh gracious lady. Are you looking for any specific type of spells for mages, or are we allowed to let our minds run free? I do see the Mages of the Sand, but still I figured I'll ask. ;)[/color]

[Color=DarkBlue]I have alot of friends here on OB and I wouldn't trade any of 'em for the world, but there are very few I'd like to actually take the time and effort to meet. I'm lazy like that. :p [Center][B]Solo, Lady K. and Mimminx[/b]: Without you guys, I'm pretty sure I'd be a broken mess in therapy, so a huge applause for all three of you.

RPG planning, problem solving and being the should to cry on, I don't think I could hang around OB if you left Jamie. [B]Annie/Athena[/B]: My twin sister and for very good reason too. It seems like no matter what, we always seem to be going through the same motions. I'm sad, she's sad. I'm really happy, she's usually got a reason to be happy too. I've yet to come to a point in my life where Annie doesn't seem to share at least a little bit of my feelings. Annie, you rock.[/center] If I've forgotten someone, it's either because I'm not paying attention or you're not worth my little energy I do spend. ^^[/color]

[Font=Arial] To hell with banning entire music generes! I say, ban all idiotic music groups that seem to want to make fools out of themselves in one way or another. (50 Cent, Brittney Spears, Christina Aguliera I'm lookin at you all....) I say, to hell with real life drama as well. Anyone caught trying to make something too dramatic will be caught by the Drama Queens (my special police force) and killed in a most unsavoury way. Most children will go through behavior modicfication in school and learn how to act like a [B]normal[/B] human being and not like some trash off the street. (Teen protsitutes, wanna-be gangstas and little depressive bitches, I'm looking at you now...) Oh, and school will be banned 4 days a week, and happen only on Wednesday for a couple of hours. It will be in the afternoon and breaks will still happen. Teachers who don't learn to teach correctly and who don't love their job will be shot on the spot. Students who think disturbing the very little school they have will also be tortured. And for god's sake, if you're going to work as a cleaning lady your entire life, You Will Learn How To Clean Correctly. All wasps will die a horrible and painful death, as will all poisonous spiders. Cockroaches will be banned to cockroach farms where they'll be raised and then killed. Cats will be controlled at all times and dog owners will have to pay a fine to allow their dogs to **** anywhere other than the yard it lives in, in additon to the fact that they have to pick up behind their dogs as well. And all religion will be banned. Goodbye God, Peace Out Buddha, See Ya 'Round Allah and Take Care Pagan Gods and Goddesses, I am your one true god damnit, so fear me! So, love thy neighbor or be ready for the concequences.. (Yeah, there's a special police force for this as well).[/font] I think I've had too much fun with this thread. I'll need to keep thinking about this and add more...

[Font=Arial]Yeah, Tical...to be quite honest, you have no real grasp on how to write an OB parody. First off, your intro paragraph reads as if a valley girl from California was reading it. I'm sorry, but very few people find that funny, much less entertaining. Your sentance structure seems a bit off as well. [Quote] Today had been one of the largest turnouts in years, and over 50 members were gathered today.[/quote] This being one example. A better way to say it would be, "With over 50 members in attendance today, it was one of the largest turnouts in years." Another thing that got me was your sudden change to a first person narrative in the very end. You really can't do that. It may be that you did it not noticing, but that's one of the things you've got to look out for. All in all, you write as if you were talking, which you really can't do. It's OK to a certain extent when characters are speaking, but doing it as a description is really unattractive. I'll keep watching this story, only to see if things get better. The whole mysterious banner was really so Otaku Hollow, but here's to seeing you pull off something good.[/font]

[Font=Arial]Manuel Alfonso Rodrigo de la Rocha, Manny to his friends and Empath to his fellow mutants, smirked wickedly. Here he was, standing in a massing group of over a hundred normal people protesting the mutant overtake of their home Genosha and he was here, in the position to wipe them off the face of this planet. From what Manuel understood, these were possibly the last of the humans known to the mutant population on Genosha and Manuel had taken it upon himself to go ahead and exterminate them now. This was Manuel?s first test of his power in a true battle situation. Infiltrating the group was no big deal, a small intrusion of the leader?s emotion allowed him to override the fear and suspicion that tried to make their way into the leader?s thought process. Manuel quickly rose through the ranks and within a week was the leader?s right hand, much to the shock and disgruntlement of a few members. Manuel quelled their uneasiness as well and everything had run perfectly up to this moment. The demise of this group, PAM, would be attributed to their suspicion. It gave Manuel goose bumps thinking of the chaos his power would cause. It was not the death he was interested in, rather the knowing that he had the power to change the world. He smiled wider as the leader began to shout for attention. It was almost show time and Manuel could barely contain his excitement. As he began to speak words of poetic justice for the human race, Manuel began to let loose his power. Playing upon the distrust of the third in command and the hate of his wife, Manuel planted a seed of worry. As the leader continued, Manuel started to prey upon the members, angering some and scarring others. Fear and Anger always go hand in hand, especially in a crowd. Manuel took one last look at the pathetic group. Women, children and men all stood around, enthralled by the man?s words of justice and love. ?It?s show time.? Manuel muttered. ?Oye! Everyone! There is a mutant in our midst! He?s come to kill us all!? Manuel shouted. The ensuing panic was unbelievable. Shouts of, ?I knew it! You fucking bastard!? and ?It?s not me! It?s them!? echoed for miles as the brawl began. Manuel could only watch with a huge smile on his face as people began to pound each other to pulp while getting pounded themselves. ?You mutant scum, what the hell have you done?!? someone shouted at Manuel as they dived for him. Manuel only had time to dodge to the side as the person?s foot slammed into the pavement. Manuel flinched slightly and tried to get a good look at his assailant. Manuel wasn?t surprised to see the third in command with a look of intense pain sketched upon his face. Manuel just laughed in his face and came back at him with a uppercut, laughing as he saw the blood began to dribble from the other man?s face. ?This is power. Learn to respect it next time.? Within about 20 minutes, the few survivors still standing fell from their wounds and Manuel emerged, bloodstained shirt and all, still smiling. He had single-handedly, as promised, brought down one of the biggest groups of humans on the island. Sadly, it really wasn?t a true show of his power, for people like them were easily done over, for they were so lost in their own hate, they knew nothing else. Manuel could only glance over the four children still alive, crying over their dead parents and siblings. Manuel had half a mind to kill them, but he wasn?t that heartless. They didn?t hate mutants, the hate was forced upon them. Manuel just starred at them for a second and walked off. If they couldn?t figure out how to survive on their own, they didn?t deserve to live.[/font]
