    It's been four long years of RPing on this site for me. And I've loved every second of it. But I need a breather. So much is going on that doing this is starting to feel like a job and not a hobby (and I'm not even talking about the battle to make posts count in the RP section). So I'm going on hiatus from forum RPs (that includes those on my own forum).

    I don't wanna talk about why, or whine and complain that I'm overwhelmed, or rant about how upset I am to have to do this.

    ABOUT RPs:
    Mine are on hiatus with me. When I come back, Harry Potter (The Years to Come) and Final Fantasy (Black Gold) are moving to my own forum. If you want to stay in those, please talk to me.
    If I'm in one of your RPs, do whatever you wish with my character. I'll probably be dropping out if I ever come back anyway.

    'Kay.
    I'm gone. I'll be back whenever.

    Every timeline has its own heroes, its own villains, its own triumphs and tragedies. The flow of events is not meant to be disturbed or changed; even so, there are those who exist who have the ability to do so. Those with the gift of super-speed can access the Speed Force and literally jump in and out of the time stream – however they do not have much control over what they’re doing when they use the Speed Force. Some, like Warp, use technology to intrude in the timeline. And others still can do as they wish to the timeline without any external aide.

    “Oh, glorious display!”
    “BOOYAH!”
    “Ehahahaha! This is awesome!”
    “It’s… nice.”
    Robin smiled at his friends. Sitting atop Titan’s Tower and watching a fireworks display over the water was a perfect way to spend their Fourth of July. They didn’t even leave the Tower today; there was nothing that needed their attention. Beast Boy had made them watch some awkward movie where the hero blew up zombies with fireworks; Cyborg loved it. Half way through the movie there was a brief power-outage but Cyborg found nothing wrong when he ran diagnostics once the power was back up. Starfire made something for dinner but the gooeyness of it and color made the Titans turn their heads. Once the fireworks were over, Beast Boy and Cyborg wanted to play an all-out game of Stankball through the halls of Titan’s Tower. After that Robin hoped to get a good night’s sleep; the last few days had been busied with tracking down the odd duo of Control Freak and Mumbo Jumbo.
    “Comfortable, Titans?”
    From their seats on the edge of the roof of the Tower, they all sprung to their feet and whipped around to face the electronic voice.
    Voice manipulator? Robin already had his Bo Staff in his hands, as the others were ready to fight. The spoiler of their peaceful day was covered entirely in a black cloak and hood. The lights from the fireworks barely lit the face under the hood, but they gave enough light to show the Titans the mask that was covering the speaker’s face.
    “Who are you? How did you get past my security systems?!” Cyborg demanded of the stranger.
    “You really should improve that. One split power failure and I had your whole Tower compromised.” The electronic voice answered, sending shivers up Beast Boy’s and Starfire’s spines.
    No more questions, no more stalling. Whoever this was, they’d manipulated the Tower without so much as the bat of an eyelash. They weren’t something to take as a joke. Robin wasted no time giving his team their order, “Titans! GO!”
    “Yes. Go, Titans.” The cloaked figure raised one hand in front of itself. “Go to the future. And stay out of my way.”
    Suffocation. It felt like suffocation. Darkness and brightness assaulted their eyes and the Titans felt like they were falling. With a strangled breath, Robin called to his team, but no one answered. His head hit something hard; he heard his team grunt and he worried instantly. But he couldn’t act on that worry; blackness enclosed his vision like a plague and, before he could help it, Robin lost consciousness.

    RULES:
    1) Forum rules are to be followed.
    2) I am a “Grammar Nazi;” I WILL bug you about your writing (like a total tosser). If you really have trouble, type up your posts in Word, fix them there, and then copy and paste them to the reply box in kh-vids. Seriously, I’m not gonna stand for lack of punctuations or capitalization. However, if you misspell a word or forget a comma or something like that, I understand that those kinds of things happen and I won’t jump down your throat for it.
    3) I’d like to keep OCs to a minimum. For now, I’m gonna allow 5 OCs. If people seem adamant on making them, I might allow some more. I won’t make any [because I want to focus on cannon characters and I don’t want to take 1 of the 5 I’m allowing]. OCs can be civilians (they’re interesting to write too!), villains (a big baddy or lackey or disagreeable vigilante), or heroes (not heroes as in up-there-with-Superman, but heroes as in good-guys-with-powers-or-gadgets).
    4) Color-coding isn’t something I’m gonna freak out about on this thread because there are a lot of characters and only so many colors and RPers who care about making their posts all pretty. So do it if ya wanna, but if you do, make sure that you’re not doing the same as someone else.
    5) Don’t get hot-and-heavy with romance. No one wants to see that on here.
    6) I’m not going to ask people to take a villain; I’m telling you to. At least one; more than one if you’d like. Not all the villains will be active at once, and only a few of them will interact with each other. However, the biggest baddy is mine.

    Originally started on 6th January 2009. This is a reboot! However, this time 'round, we won't be going directly along with the plot-line of anything. Meaning, OCs are going to be an influence here. Don't get all excited just yet! I'm not going to allow for a million OCs and the OCs that are here are not going to run the RP. Cannon characters are the most important. After all, they're what started this whole thing.
    SO! We're going along with the general plot-line of BROTHERHOOD with some things from the first anime series as well (mainly just characters). What that means is that we're not typing out the anime. xDx We're hitting big things (examples: Nina, finding out humans are used to make Philosopher's Stones, Hughes's death, etc.) and filling in the gaps with whatever we want. Get it? You can always ask me questions if you don't!
    ALSO! If you see a character on the list that you want and they're taken, try talking to the person who has them. We're all nice here and we know how to share. <3 However, that person DOES NOT have to give up the character.



    Story:
    Edward and Alphonse Elric are two alchemists; brothers who search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone, a powerful object which would allow them to recover their bodies (which were lost in an attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy). Born in the village of Risembool from the country of Amestris, the two brothers lived there with their parents. Their father, Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and years later, their mother, Trisha Elric, died of a terminal illness leaving the Elric brothers alone. After their mother's death, Edward became determined to bring her back through the use of alchemy, an advanced science in which objects can be created from raw materials. They researched Human Transmutation, a forbidden art in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. However, this attempt failed, ultimately resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrificed his right arm to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. Some days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visited the Elric brothers, and told Edward to become a member of the State Military of the country to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm were fitted with two sets of automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, created for him by his close family friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother, Pinako.
    Edward set out to become a State Alchemist, an alchemist employed by the State Military of Amestris, which infamously annihilated much of the neighboring country of Ishval's population in the past decade. Becoming a State Alchemist enabled Edward to use the extensive resources available to State Alchemists, but it also turned him into what they call a "dog of the military." His more friendly relationship with Colonel Mustang however, whom he reports to and recruited him, allows the brothers freedom to search for the Philosopher's Stone as part of Edward's research, as each State Alchemist is expected to independently research new things which may be of a use to the State Military of Amestris. The brothers set off in search of the Philosopher's Stone as a means to restore their bodies. They are about to meet many antagonists, including those who are willing to do anything to obtain the Philosopher's Stone: Scar, one of the few surviving Ishvalans, who seeks vengeance on the State Alchemists for the destruction of his race; the homunculi, a group of human-like creatures who carry pieces of the Philosopher's Stone inside themselves and from it derive the ability to survive almost any harm; Julia, a girl who shares more than she knows with the brothers but differs greatly in moral values; and the Amestrian military, which is hiding dark secrets.

    Rules:
    1) Follow the Law of Equivalent Exchange! (That means if you give me crap, I’m flinging it back at you.)
    2) Experienced alchemists only! (I don’t want to have to explain the whole thing to people; the above paragraphs is all I'll do.)
    3) Death is allowed, but with permission from either me or the person you're killing and good reason (don't kill just to kill).
    4) Color code your characters. Or not. >> I don't care too much.
    5) Sorry, no yaoi or yuri for this thread. Let’s keep it cannon.
    6) All State Alchemist OCs MUST be at least 24 years of age and have an appropriate background of studying, and practicing and/or training.
    7) All OCs with automail must have received their automail from something OTHER THAN human transmutation. (This is because a Homunculus results from the taboo and we can't have 500 Homunculi running about.) The automail can be from an accident (train wreck, car wreck, machinery, etc.) or from choice (like another character we know).
    8) Not all OCs can be alchemists, and they CANNOT be related to the Elric brothers (other relations are ok if you talk to me about it via PM or MSN).
    9) If you get in an argument, please take it elsewhere.
    10) I might break my own rules. I can do that 'cause I'm awesome.

    Original Characters:
    Username- Garxena
    Name- Julia Avalon
    Age- 16
    Gender- Female
    Background- Julia grew up on the outskirts of Central with her younger brother, Robert. Their parents were dogs of the military, killed in an Ishvalan assignment. Julia was 11 at the time, Robert was 9. Not wanting the same fate as her parents, Julia delved into the studies of alchemy to learn protection and to occupy her time. She was usually watched by her younger brother when she was practicing. Absorbed in her studies, Julia did not see the pressure it was putting on Robert, not the way in which her released that pressure. Robert was coerced into a gang-like life, and was killed at the age of 13 in a brawl. Julia, devastated by losing the last of her close family, attempted forbidden alchemy: a Human Transmutation. However, it was naught but an attempt. She paid the price of her right arm and got something that looked nothing like her dear Robert in return. Horrified by what she'd done, she left home. She didn't get far though, losing her consciousness from the blood that she was losing so quickly. She woke, to the sound of clinking metal, inside a dimly lit room with a strong looking man by her bedside. She found herself bandaged and was confused as to how she got to where she was. Julia asked the man kindly for an explanation. He told her that his name was Billy and he'd found her on his way back from an automail market, and just in time too. Julia thanked him and told him she'd find a way to pay him back. She was surprised when Billy laughed and told her that there was no need for payment. Puzzled, Julia again asked for an explanation. She was brought close to tears when Billy told her the story of his wife dying in childbirth, only for the baby to die but a few months later. Julia didn’t understand how Billy could still smile and laugh after such a loss. But what really struck her was what he said next: "You know, I bet my daughter would have looked just like you if she'd grown up." Julia felt she owed Billy something for his kindness, but it didn't stop there. Julia next learned that Billy was a gifted mechanic and then offered to make her a new arm. She refused at first, having no money to pay him. But after he insisted, she accepted. For the next year, Julia lived with Billy and put her new arm to good use in alchemy practice. Julia was both delighted and shocked when she discovered that she could perform alchemy without a circle. She spent a good portion of her time with her nose in a book, learning everything she could about alchemy and equivalent exchange. She also looked for a reason as to why she didn't need a circle for alchemy. When she felt she'd learned everything she could from Billy and his books, she left to go in search of more answers.

    Username: Snow Princess
    Name: Reine Lyon
    Age: 20
    Gender: Female
    Background: Reine is a mercenary for the military of Amestris. She has lived in Central her whole life, having several relatives in the military headquarters there. Whenever an undercover job is needed, an officer of the Fuhrer will contact her with instructions. Occasionally she has had to kill for much large sums of money, but she rarely takes these jobs. She battles with two handguns, but strapped under her black dress on her thighs, extra ammo and other equipment in the bag she carries on her back.
    She and her older brother live alone, their parents having died of illness when they were both younger. Although she has all the skills to belong officially in the military, she has no interest in being a dog of the state, even though she personally knows some of the top officers. Her parents were friends with Major Hughes and served with him and countless others during the Ishvallan War of Extermination. Whenever she does receive a job that actually interests her, it’s from Hughes; she isn’t close with the man but does know him and his family well enough.
    Reine has only been doing under-cover surveys of the citizens for any illegal activities lately. She gets paid for any information she bring back to the officials, enough to help her and her brother pay rent and food bills every month. Miss Lyon is knowledgeable of any local underground information, as well as the locations of many different organizations and people. She lives in Central still right now, waiting for another call from the Colonel's office or higher up, telling her what to do to get some extra money... and information.

    Name (full)- Deceit
    Age- Unknown
    Gender- Male
    Background- Deceit is a Homunculus created by Julia when she attempted to bring back her brother with Human Transmutation. Deceit was come upon by Envy and brought up by Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Pride, and Sloth, staying with whomever was available. His Oroborus tattoo is on the inside of his wrist. He has not developed as quickly as the others in some things, but his named talent is, of course, perfect. He can convince a person of nearly any lie he tells.

    [​IMG]

    Username- Bushy Brow
    Name- Alexis Tyneside
    Age- 17
    Gender- Female
    Background- (Is excused from Rule 6) Alexis's parents were Amestrian travelers before the Ishvalan war had even began. It was as they were travelling in Ishval that catastrophe struck and they were caught right in the middle of the tragedy. It was during the war that 8 year old Alexis was made an orphan when an explosion caused by Alchemy made a nearby building collapse and the falling debris crushed her parents who had just managed to push her out of the way of the rubble.
    Forced to wander the streets in despair, Alexis was found by a State Alchemist who had been about to kill her after having been caught by surprise. However he had quickly realized she was an Amestrian and put two and two together. With nowhere else for her to go, but knowing he had to get her out of the war zone, he commissioned her to be put into the military to get her back into Amestris since only military personnel were allowed to cross the border. This was genuinely out of kindness on his part as otherwise she would just be an orphan trapped in a war zone.
    So here she was... a young 8 year old girl now in military school where it was quickly discovered that she had great potential when it came to Alchemy. She was trained up and now nine years later Alexis is an Alchemist of the Amestris State Military. Despite her young age compared to other state Alchemists she is highly skilled thanks to her years of training and her fierce determination. This has put her on par with some of the best Alchemists such as 'The Flame Alchemist' among other high ranked titles.
    Her own title given to her is 'The Pink-Rain Alchemist' due to her unique and beautiful but powerful style of using Alchemy, and her reputation is quite renowned also for the reason of her being one of the youngest Alchemists in history.
    Personality wise she can be rather cold, and she tends to be a bit of a loner because that is all she really knows. She finds it hard to trust people, but it has been determined that her withdrawn nature is likely drawn from the horrifying experiences she had when caught up in the middle of the war as a child.
    Appearance-

    Username- Webhead
    Name- Rhone "Avarice" Dice
    Age- 21
    Gender- Male
    Background- Not an Alchemist. A high ranking officer under Hughes' command in the military. Avarice is a relatively new recruit to the military, joining shortly before Ed. He is one of Greed's Chimera, his DNA mixed with that from a eagle. Greed had supplied him with the necessary papers and fake background to join the military. He was tested in in Lab 5 with the other of Greed's Chimera. His experimentation went slightly farther than the rest and is more developed with his abilities. He had abandoned his name. Greed named him Avarice due to their similar personalities. He uses an assumed name of Rhone Dice for his identity. No one knows of his true self yet.
    He fights with two long daggers, each about as long as his forearm. He is faster and stronger than most humans. His fighting style uses his daggers in synch with his speed. He slashes quickly, being able to rush an opponent and switch between dagger slashes/thrusts and punches/kicks.
    Appearance- Avarice is slightly muscular, and a little taller than Hughes. He wears the standard Military uniform with a jacket that is a little too big. He always wear black gloves, hiding human colored talons underneath; His toes are talons, taking almost half of his foot's length. He has white hair that he keeps slicked back underneath his hat. His eyes are gold and perfectly round, resembling an eagle's. When revealing his true nature, his talons become sharper and longer. His hands harden and turn dark while his pinky merges with his ring finger and his middle finger with his index finger. His lips pull back and his teeth turn a light brown, growing and hardening, extending past his lips to form an actual beak.

    After a while in the making, here it is! 8D Got questions? Ask away!

    STORY:
    Planet Fusion, ruled by the evil Fuse, has traveled throughout the galaxy for millennia, devastating and absorbing countless planets and civilizations, and its next target will be the planet Earth. Fuse’s minions, monsters made of green ooze and many materials from our planet, are already on Earth and wreaking havoc wherever they go. The heroes of Earth must unite to put a stop to Fuse’s evil plan. And you, personally, are invited to join them. But be wary, this is not a journey for the light of heart. You will get up close and personal with your enemies. Your courage will be tested. You're not alone though! The most original and charismatic heroes are here to help!
    Ben Tennyson, Dexter, and Numbuh One have gathered a team of anyone willing to help and seven kids who they saw fit to join the fight. Now that they've gone through basic training with the three (and their friends), it's time to make Fuse go on the defensive.

    RULES/NOTES:
    1) Haven’t played Fusion Fall before? That’s okay! All you need to know is the story; and that’s what you just read before reading these rules!
    2) No, you don’t have to know all the shows or all the characters. Google is nice like that. (:
    3) A team of 7 OCs (that means 6 besides my own) will be accepted. After that, only the characters on the list below will be available.
    4) You can have 3 Nanos with you at a time. However, you can always swap what Nano you have with you at a Nano-station. The abilities each Nano has can be found at the link at the top of the Nano list (one ability at a time; they can be changed at any Nano-station). More than one person can have the same Nano; example: Joe has Buttercup as a Nano, Jane does too (it’s not that they are sharing a Nano, they each have their own Buttercup Nano).
    5) You can have 2 weapons with you at a time (these can be traded, sold, bought, made, thrown away, etc.).
    6) Your mode of transportation can be any of the following: hover-board (available to anyone), vespa-like hover-scooter (available to characters 16 and older), car (available to characters 16 and older with a license), walking, teleportation (available to magic-appropriate characters), and public transportation wherever it is.
    7) Do I need to say that forum rules need to be followed? Forum rules need to be followed.
    8) Worried about geography? Use this map for a not-very-detailed reference: http://www.fusionfallcentral.com/showthread.php/5340-Fusion-Fall-World-Map and this map for the names of places and a better view of the transit system: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/_...rchive/f/fc/20090102222802!FF_Transit_Map.jpg. Play the game or Google-search to get more in depth!
    9) “Guides” will not essentially be directed in this. For those of you who played the game, you know that you had a choice between four characters (Ben, Dexter, Edd, and Mojo Jojo) of who would be your guide (much like the DC Universe online) and give you missions, upgrade your gear, etc. Those characters are here they just aren’t going to be so I’m-going-to-hold-your-hand-through-this-whole-save-the-planet-thing.
    10) I shouldn’t have to say it, but power-playing and god-modding are not to be done – unless I give you permission. Of course, I may do it just for the sake of the plot. An OOC warning will come before hand if I do though.
    11) Have fun~! <3

    Username – Garxena
    Name – Astrid Darque
    Age – 15
    Gender – Female
    Biography – Just your average high schooler, Astrid felt the call to fight when Fuse attacked her home town of Bellwood. She was never really one to jump up and get involved in anything, not even school clubs, but when Fuse’s monsters came, it was personal. She finally had an excuse to talk to a boy she’d been crushing on for a while – Ben Tennyson. His secret had become world-known but it didn’t change the way she looked at him. To her, he was still that goofy kid who was awesome at soccer. When she spoke with him, she was surprised to find how whole-heartedly he responded. He told her about a team that he, Dexter, and Numbuh One were putting together and invited her to be a part of it. Of course she agreed. Basic training was a struggle for her but her determination and help from her Nanos drove her forward. With the training behind her, she’s ready to join the other kids who are part of the team and go out to fight Fuse’s monsters.
    Weapon – Red Null Void gun
    Nanos – Swampfire (Sneak), Rex (Damage), and Bubbles (Snare)

    We had a little too much fun. >> All we used was our Coby Snapp camera, some songs off my itunes, and Windows' Media Player to edit the stuff. We had about 3 hours of footage that we cut down to 10 minutes. XD Anyway, tell us what you think!

    STORY

    Harry James Potter – the Boy Who Lived. His story is known all over the world, and he is respected all over the world. It’s been over a hundred years since Harry’s children left Hogwarts, and the school has remained a peaceful learning place. New students flood the school every year, but some of the rules have changed at the school. Students still need to be eleven years old to enter the school as a first year, but they can also enroll or be invited to Hogwarts as a first year if they are older than eleven. Students from different houses can sit wherever they like in the Great Hall, but for formal events, they must sit at their House's table. However, dormitories are still strictly only for the students in that House.
    A group of friends, and new students at Hogwarts, is about to experience a twist of events they never could have expected. Half-way through their school year, their fellow classmates and upperclassmen start vanishing without a word. And then the unthinkable happened: carved into the large doors of the Great Hall were the words “The third round begins.” This new group of friends came to the same conclusion almost instantly: the Chamber of Secrets has been opened again. Who at Hogwarts still thinks so archaically? And who has the ability to open the Chamber at all?
    We start only hours after the message is found on the doors to the Great Hall. We can find our group of first years in a corner of the library, discussing their theories. Students of other years have either already gone to bed or are milling about.

    RULES

    1. Follow forum rules, and whatever Jayn says because she's my second-in-command (for helping me put this together).
    2. No relations to any characters from the books
    3. Use reasonable grammatical skills. "THEY'RE going THERE with THEIR friends." Need any more examples?
    4. Be conscious of what spells you use! Make sure they’re appropriate for your year. If you have a question, PM or VM me; or ask everyone in the OOC thread.
    5. Do NOT abuse Protego! Honestly, how many times have you seen it used throughout the books? (It was certainly over-used in the movies.)
    6. You can have up to 4 characters (I will have more, of course, because of the need for staff and minor characters).
    7. No more characters in Gryffindor. Never mind. All Houses are open again for new characters.
    8. Need at least one Slytherin before we start. Taken care of. (:
    9. I am the Headmaster (Professor Alan Clauson). That is all.
    10. More rules may be added.

He thinks he can fend for himself and doesn't like showing weaknesses (this includes friendships or attraction to anyone). Your first impression of Tracy is an obvious Slytherin, cocky and bitter and rude. But he's smart enough for Ravenclaw and has many good qualities to balance out the bad.
    Appearance: Dark grey hair that hangs around his face and sticks out all over the place. Tracy has large chocolate brown and pale skin. He doesn't get much sleep, so his eyeshave bags under them. He's incredibly handsome, but is unconscious of that fact.

    Age: 17
    Year: Seventh
    Gender: Female
    House: Slytherin
    Wand type: Walnut, Hippogriff feather, 9 inches
    Biography/Personality: Taralynn comes from a long line of Pureblooded older siblings: with four elder brothers and three elder sisters, her last six years at Hogwarts had been nothing but doing what all her family had done before her: get into Slytherin, get top grades, and make sure that she upheld the honor of her family's blood and history. She'd done as well as she could so far, but this was her last year, and she was going to do things her way this time; she knew all her fellow students that had potential (one of them being Jack, a fifth year that she had been friends with for a while now), and which lesser students didn't deserve her attention. And, with everything that had been going on for the last few months at school, she was more than ready to show her true colors. Taralynn is very proud and not afraid to show her feelings, either with a rude spell or just a punch to the face. She has a hard time controlling her emotions.
    Appearance: Tara has bright, bleached blonde hair that barely touches her shoulders. Her eyes are dark blue, almost black. Underneath her school uniform she usually wears black skinny jeans and tube tops of various colors that show off her shoulders. She always wears heels, inside and outside of class.

    Biography/Personality: Jay entered Hogwarts at age 11 as a normal muggle born lad and is now verging on wizarding adulthood. He's known around his house and even the school for being a joker, charmer, and general goof ball. Less well known is his obsession with HOW magic works. The explosions and odd bits of magic that are often traced back to Jay are the products of experiments, not pranks. But he doesn't mind credit for the pranks either.

    Age: 15
    Year: Fifth
    Gender: Male
    House: Ravenclaw
    Wand type: Hawthorn, Hippogriff feather, 10 ¼ inches
    Biography/Personality: One of four quadruplets, Lelouch is one of the Beaters for Ravenclaw’s Quidditch team. He is brilliantly smart and is the brains behind all the mischief the Quints cause. Only his siblings and close friends call him Lulu. Because he and his siblings are quadruplets, they all believed themselves to be magical from a young age; and got into all kinds of mischief. They were homeschooled after the third by their parents (a dentist and an accountant) because they had a hard time controlling their magical abilities (Lelouch once set fire to a test he failed). He and his siblings will be turning 16 soon; they entered Hogwarts at 11, keeping to tradition. He used to be teased for being the typical smart-kid-with-glasses, but once he hexed a kid’s pants down, the teasing stopped.

    Name: Lucian 'Luke' Quint
    Age: 15
    Year: Fifth Year
    Gender: Male
    House: Slytherin
    Wand type: Mahogany, Acromantula Thread, 13 1/4 inches
    Biography/Personality: Born to a Muggle dentist and witch accountant, the Quints always believed that they were magical. Lucian himself had grown to think that they were all destined for greater things in life. Upon entering the Wizarding world, Luke (as only his siblings call him) started to envy Pureblood wizards. While not one that particularly supports race superiority, Lucian has the idea that Pureblood wizards are inherently better at magic than others. He had hoped for Ravenclaw but found himself in the ill rumored Slytherin. To those outside his house, he's a perfect match: strange, secluded, and has a knack for DADA. To those inside his house, he's an outcast: horrible at Potions, is constantly on Professor Smive's badsides, supports the other houses (because of his siblings), and is a half-blood. To his siblings, he's overprotective and is simply rough around the edges. At a young age, he learned that he talked in his sleep, but it was strange hissing sounds. He now knows that he's a Parselmouth, though the fact is kept secret to all but his siblings, who have learned to imitate certain things (due to years of sleeping in the same room). In his third year, he became the Slytherin Seeker.

    Name: Iris Quint
    Age: 15
    Year: 5th
    Gender: Female
    House: Gryffindor
    Wand type: Walnut, unicorn hair, 10 ¼ inches
    Biography/Personality: Iris is one of the quadruplets known as the Quints. She has enjoyed her time so far at Hogwarts, but finds school rather boring; unlike some of her siblings, she feels that the order and amount of knowledge that is needed to be considered a “good student” is wrong. Because she isn’t as smart as the other students, she often gets frustrated; she has tried studying in the past, both forced and of her own free will, but grasping all the skills that were necessary to progress with everyone else is something she hasn’t managed yet. Despite being in Gryffindor with her sister Elysia, who was a bit smarter than her, Iris is not confident with herself. She is, however, extremely proud of her family and would do anything for her brothers and sister, no matter what the situation. She is happy to sacrifice anything to help her siblings and stands up for them constantly.

    Biography/Personality: The four siblings entered Hogwarts together at the age of eleven. The two girls being placed into Gryffindor and the two males being placed into Ravenclaw and Slytherin respectively. Despite the different houses they are in, they all still get on quite well. After all, they're family, they shared a womb for nine months being completely blunt. Quadruplets, they stick together no matter what.
    They are now 15 and going into their fifth year of Hogwarts.
    All of them are Half-Bloods, their parents however living normal lives as a Dentist and Accountant
    for reasons that the kids can't really understand...
    Elysia is the 'dudette' style sibling. She likes to be laid back, take things easy, and have a laugh.
    Be warned, she can be incredibly hot headed though and stubborn.
    She is very noble and loyal to her friends and siblings and is willing to take any risks to help them.
    Some could call it stupidity while others could call it bravery.
    As for academics, she isn't stupid. She passes her classes well and has a fondness for both Quidditch (being the team's captain) and Dueling.

    Biography/Personality: Usually dubbed one of the quiet and shy students, her personality actually boasts a warm, friendly, and collected appeal (Though she is very soft-spoken). As her stereotype suggests, So is at first shy and will barely open her mouth but once she feels comfortable, and more importantly accepted, her natural personality will shine through. She is loyal, ridiculously hard-working, and will not do anything considered ‘bad’ or rude. Her mother possesses no magical power but her father was a very respectable and popular wizard (Passed away when she was 8). Ever since So picked up a wand she’s had a special talent for producing quality charms.

    Biography/Personality: Distinguished by his usually very bored and unintriguing expression, Amus is exactly what people would think of him: quiet and numb. His whole life he has gone with the flow and has never been truly excited or enthusiastic, though that doesn’t imply that his life is gloomy or unhappy. His outlook on life and personality is simply what makes that permanent expression on his face. However if there is an expression other than his usual, it is usually irritation. Both of his parents are very talented witches and wizards. He has three younger sisters and one older brother.

    _______________________________

    Ben sat on the end of the long, rectangular table in the corner of the library and looked at each of his friends -- Rayna, Tybalt, Layla, Silea, Olivia, Loretta, Ro, and Zack -- and could see they were as uncomfortable as he was. He was a year older than them, but that didn't seem to matter because they were all learning the same new things about magic. They must have come to the same conclusion he had: that message clearly meant that the Chamber had been opened. Taking a deep breath, he decided to be the one to say it, "It meant the Chamber of Secrets, didn't it? That message? What else could it have meant?"

    "Hrrrmmm," Al groaned and leaned closer to her Potions book. How was she supposed to study with all this noise in the Hufflepuff common room? It's not that she wasn't concerned with whatever it was that message had meant, but finals were coming within several months and she needed to pass her Potions with flying colors. But with chatter around her, she couldn't help but overhear what some of the students were saying. One thought it was a prank by a seventh year; another thought it was something to do with the Quidditch World Cup; and someone else was talking about Triwizard Tournament, but that wasn't for another four years. Frustrated, she stood up and turned around to face her fellow Hufflepuffs. "Would you all quit babbling? You sound like a bunch of garden gnomes!" Once everyone had hushed up, Al gathered her books and parchment and promptly went up the stairs to the girls' sleeping quarters.

    This is a recruitment and discussion thread for my upcoming Harry Potter RP.
    Spoilers may occur!
    The RP is HERE

    STORY

    Harry James Potter – the Boy Who Lived. His story is known all over the world, and he is respected all over the world. It’s been over a hundred years since Harry’s children left Hogwarts, and the school has remained a peaceful learning place. New students flood the school every year, but some of the rules have changed at the school. Students still need to be eleven years old to enter the school as a first year, but they can also enroll or be invited to Hogwarts as a first year if they are older than eleven.
    A group of friends, and new students at Hogwarts, is about to experience a twist of events they never could have expected. Half-way through their school year, their fellow classmates and upperclassmen start vanishing without a word. And then the unthinkable happened: carved into the large doors of the Great Hall were the words “The third round begins.” This new group of friends came to the same conclusion almost instantly: the Chamber of Secrets has been opened again. Who at Hogwarts still thinks so archaically? And who has the ability to open the Chamber at all?

    RULES

    1. Follow forum rules, and whatever Jayn says because she's my second-in-command (for helping me put this together).
    2. No relations to any characters from the books
    3. Use reasonable grammatical skills. "THEY'RE going THERE with THEIR friends." Need any more examples?
    4. Be conscious of what spells you use! Make sure they’re appropriate for your year. If you have a question, PM or VM me; or ask everyone in the OOC thread.
    5. Do NOT abuse Protego! Honestly, how many times have you seen it used throughout the books?
    6. You can have up to 4 characters (I will have more, of course, because of the need for staff and minor characters).

    8. Need at least one Slytherin before we start. Taken care of. (:

    Divinations: Mr. Richard Lowe -- A hard but likable teacher who loves to give exams. Head of Ravenclaw.
    Defense Against the Dark Arts (or DADA as the students call it): Mr. Tobias Veris -- An eccentric and loved teacher who is always available for extra help.
    Care of Magical Creatures: Ms. Abigail Fur -- A jolly and approachable teacher who is a little too into magical-creature's rights.
    Potions: Ms. Jennifer Royal -- A kind and patient teacher who doesn't mind too much when things blow up every now and then.
    Transfiguration: Mr. Percy Fergison -- A strong believer in fairness and experimenting with spells, this teacher is also the head of Hufflepuff.
    Charms: Mrs. Nancy Ildington -- A popular and excellent former-student of Hogwarts who has come back to teach her favorite subject. Head of Gryffindor.
    Astronomy: Mr. Jeremy Elmon -- A Muggle-born wizard and infectiously goofy teacher who loves to talk about how Astronomy is a link between the Muggle and wizarding worlds.
    History of Magic: Mrs. Bathilda Smives -- A rather mean and book-bound teacher who is crazy about facts and hates speculation. Head of Slytherin.
    Arithmancy: Mr. Timothy Oildi --

    Muggle Studies: Mr. John Smith -- A boring and not-at-all-engaged teacher who wishes he was teaching some other subject.

    QUIDDITCH

    --Quidditch trials are over (seeing as we're a couple months into the school year)
    --Characters already in the RP who did not specify in their bio that they are a member of the Quidditch team CANNOT join now. (Unless you beg and plead to me in a PM. XD)
    --NEW characters (even if they're created by someone already in the RP) CAN join the Quidditch team. (For example, KingdomHearts530 could create a new character right now and that character could be on the Quidditch team for his or her House. BUT KingdomHearts530 COULD NOT make one of her current characters a member of a Quidditch team.)
    --If your character is a TEAM CAPTAIN, YOU are responsible for coordinating the empty spots on your team. Unless you REALLY don't want to; then you can shirk that off to someone else on your team (if you're the only one on your team, you HAVE to do it). (For example, since Bushy's character is the team captain of Gryffindor's team, he gets to control the team players who are not taken. If you have his permission, you can join him in writing them.)

    Gender: Female
    House: Slytherin
    Wand type: Walnut, Hippogriff feather, 9 inches
    Biography/Personality: Taralynn comes from a long line of Pureblooded older siblings: with four elder brothers and three elder sisters, her last six years at Hogwarts had been nothing but doing what all her family had done before her: get into Slytherin, get top grades, and make sure that she upheld the honor of her family's blood and history. She'd done as well as she could so far, but this was her last year, and she was going to do things her way this time; she knew all her fellow students that had potential (one of them being Jack, a fifth year that she had been friends with for a while now), and which lesser students didn't deserve her attention. And, with everything that had been going on for the last few months at school, she was more than ready to show her true colors. Taralynn is very proud and not afraid to show her feelings, either with a rude spell or just a punch to the face. She has a hard time controlling her emotions.
    Appearance: Tara has bright, bleached blonde hair that barely touches her shoulders. Her eyes are dark blue, almost black. Underneath her school uniform she usually wears black skinny jeans and tube tops of various colors that show off her shoulders. She always wears heels, inside and outside of class.

The explosions and odd bits of magic that are often traced back to Jay are the products of experiments, not pranks. But he doesn't mind credit for the pranks either.

    Biography/Personality: One of four quadruplets, Lelouch is one of the Beaters for Ravenclaw’s Quidditch team. He is brilliantly smart and is the brains behind all the mischief the Quints cause. Only his siblings and close friends call him Lulu. Because he and his siblings are quadruplets, they all believed themselves to be magical from a young age; and got into all kinds of mischief. They were homeschooled after the third by their parents (a dentist and an accountant) because they had a hard time controlling their magical abilities (Lelouch once set fire to a test he failed). He and his siblings will be turning 16 soon; they entered Hogwarts at 11, keeping to tradition. He used to be teased for being the typical smart-kid-with-glasses, but once he hexed a kid’s pants down, the teasing stopped.

    Age: 15
    Year: Fifth Year
    Gender: Male
    House: Slytherin
    Wand type: Mahogany, Acromantula Thread, 13 1/4 inches
    Biography/Personality: Born to a Muggle dentist and witch accountant, the Quints always believed that they were magical. Lucian himself had grown to think that they were all destined for greater things in life. Upon entering the Wizarding world, Luke (as only his siblings call him) started to envy Pureblood wizards. While not one that particularly supports race superiority, Lucian has the idea that Pureblood wizards are inherently better at magic than others. He had hoped for Ravenclaw but found himself in the ill rumored Slytherin. To those outside his house, he's a perfect match: strange, secluded, and has a knack for DADA. To those inside his house, he's an outcast: horrible at Potions, is constantly on Professor Smive's badsides, supports the other houses (because of his siblings), and is a half-blood. To his siblings, he's overprotective and is simply rough around the edges. At a young age, he learned that he talked in his sleep, but it was strange hissing sounds. He now knows that he's a Parselmouth, though the fact is kept secret to all but his siblings, who have learned to imitate certain things (due to years of sleeping in the same room). In his third year, he became the Slytherin Seeker.

    Age: 15

    Gender: Female

    Wand type: Walnut, unicorn hair, 10 ¼ inches
    Biography/Personality: Iris is one of the quadruplets known as the Quints. She has enjoyed her time so far at Hogwarts, but finds school rather boring; unlike some of her siblings, she feels that the order and amount of knowledge that is needed to be considered a “good student” is wrong. Because she isn’t as smart as the other students, she often gets frustrated; she has tried studying in the past, both forced and of her own free will, but grasping all the skills that were necessary to progress with everyone else is something she hasn’t managed yet. Despite being in Gryffindor with her sister Elysia, who was a bit smarter than her, Iris is not confident with herself. She is, however, extremely proud of her family and would do anything for her brothers and sister, no matter what the situation. She is happy to sacrifice anything to help her siblings and stands up for them constantly.

    Biography/Personality: The four siblings entered Hogwarts together at the age of eleven. The two girls being placed into Gryffindor and the two males being placed into Ravenclaw and Slytherin respectively. Despite the different houses they are in, they all still get on quite well. After all, they're family, they shared a womb for nine months being completely blunt. Quadruplets, they stick together no matter what.
    They are now 15 and going into their fifth year of Hogwarts.
    All of them are Half-Bloods, their parents however living normal lives as a Dentist and Accountant
    for reasons that the kids can't really understand...
    Elysia is the 'dudette' style sibling. She likes to be laid back, take things easy, and have a laugh.
    Be warned, she can be incredibly hot headed though and stubborn.
    She is very noble and loyal to her friends and siblings and is willing to take any risks to help them.
    Some could call it stupidity while others could call it bravery.
    As for academics, she isn't stupid. She passes her classes well and has a fondness for both Quidditch (being the team's captain) and Dueling.

Her mother possesses no magical power but her father was a very respectable and popular wizard (Passed away when she was 8).

His whole life he has gone with the flow and has never been truly excited or enthusiastic, though that doesn’t imply that his life is gloomy or unhappy. His outlook on life and personality is simply what makes that permanent expression on his face. However if there is an expression other than his usual, it is usually irritation. Both of his parents are very talented witches and wizards. He has three younger sisters and one older brother.

    I know who I am. I know who I am! The hero pressed his back against a gnarled tree, clutching his sword and trying to smooth his breathing so that his enemy would not hear him. A small orb of light hovered by the hero’s shoulder, giving off comfort and reassurance. To the orb, he whispered, “I know who I am, Dew.â€
    “You can do it, Link!†The tiny, female voice of the orb replied. Dew, only visible as a ball of light, floated down to Link’s left hand and touched the three connected triangles that the back of his hand bore. Link stared at the mark of the Triforce and squinted his eyes to make out Dew’s silhouette. “You are courage. You’re not just my hero.â€
    Link nodded, his bright blue eyes now peering over his shoulder and around the cover of his tree. A large shadow, created by the setting sun, centered his field of vision – his enemy. Link could not doubt himself now. No, now was the time for what the Triforce recognized him for: courage. Link gripped his sword and, with a yell, leapt out of his cover to engage his enemy once more.

    “Link! Heeey, Liiiiink!â€
    Link bolted erect in his bed. The yell from outside his home in the tree had jolted him from his dreams. Breathing out a sigh of relief that what he had thought was so real was really just a dream, he hopped out of his bed and went to the window to see who it was that had woken him so early.
    “Great, you’re up! Come on out here; let’s race!†It was Link’s long-time friend, Tippo, waving his arms excitedly to urge Link to join him. What was he doing awake just after the sun had risen? And already dressed for the day too? If he wanted to race Link, couldn’t he have waited until a more decent hour? But they were best friends, and Link couldn’t help but smile at the enthusiasm Tippo showed. He nodded to his friend and went back inside to change into his day clothes.
    Life in Hyrule was peaceful, especially in Ferryar Forest. Days went in and out with routine, and any happy surprise was welcomed. Yet, Link’s days were different from everyone else’s. He had an urge for something more that he didn’t understand. With no parents and no available answers to his many questions, he often used any spare time he had to go exploring around the forest with his horse, Epona. He and Epona were the only family each had; Link had found the mare wandering in Ferryar Forest only a few years past. She loved music and Link was no stranger to playing the ocarina. While everyone in Ferryar Forest welcomed Link and treated him as one of their own, Link knew from several tell-tale signs that he was not one of them. His skin was lighter than the Ferryians’, his eyes sky blue while theirs were deep brown, his hair was blonde while the Ferryians had black or brown hair. And most importantly, the back of his left hand had a mark that was most certainly not a mishap. Three connected triangles with one upside down triangle in the middle of them made one whole, larger triangle. It was not a strange mark to a Hylian; all knew it was the mark of the Triforce. The princess of Hyrule, Princess Zelda, had the same mark; she was seen as the Wisdom of the Triforce.
    “Wisdom, Power, and Courage,†Link muttered to himself. He was one of the few who didn’t fully believe in the legend of the Triforce. In the homely village of Ferryar Forest there were no superstitions, threats, or dangers. Ferryians had their gods like everyone else did, but the Ferryians’ gods did not include Nayru (the Goddess of Wisdom), Din (the Goddess of Power), or Farore (the Goddess of Courage).
    “Alright! Let’s go; Athina is up too and she’s got Epona and Joro waiting for us.†Tippo patted Link’s back once he was out of his house and on the ground. The two headed off towards the fenced in field next to Athina’s house. Sure enough, Athina had Epona and Joro with their tack on, waiting for Link and Tippo. Athina had set up barrels and jumps for the two competitors to race around.
    “Good morning, you two,†Athina greeted her friends. “Link, Epona had some knots in her mane. Did you even brush her yesterday after herding the sheep?â€
    “Um,†Link rubbed the back of his head. He had indeed forgotten to brush Epona after their chores. But he hadn’t even thought about it that morning thanks to his disturbing dream.
    “I did it for you this time,†Athina handed Epona’s and Joro’s leads to their respective riders. “But you’ve got to take better care of her.â€
    Link nodded in apology to Athina and mounted Epona, adjusting the reigns in his hands. Epona burred, anxious to get going. Link smiled and patted her neck. Their bond was more than rider and horse. He looked to Tippo to see if he was also ready to start.
    “You know you’re going to lose, right?†Tippo challenged. Joro shook his head and paced eagerly.
    “Hey, let’s have a friendly race, boys,†Athina smiled. She knew it was just Tippo’s usual banter, but felt a need to say something anyway. Her eyes met Link’s for a brief moment; he thought he saw her cheeks turn a little rosier but before he could be sure, Athina hurried off to the fence and called the start of the race.
    “Come on, Joro!†Tippo kicked the gelding into a canter and quickly got ahead of the dazed Link. Link hurried Epona forward, weaving through the barrels with ease; it was just like riding through the trees of the forest. Tippo had already jumped two of the six wooden jumps Athina had set up. There was just the turnaround and he would be back to the start in no time. Link urged Epona to move faster. She leapt over the horizontal wooden poles easily; Link gripped her sides with his legs as she came along Tippo and Joro. The two galloped back towards Athina at the same rate. Link smiled at Tippo’s laugh; neither of them knew who had won. They both slowed their horses and looked to Athina for a verdict.
    “The winner is,†Athina paused, walking over to them. “Tippo and Joro!â€
    “Ha!†Tippo exclaimed, jumping off of Joro and rubbing his mane. “Great job, buddy.†Link stayed on Epona. “Now that you’ve had your morning beating, you should get started on your work, Link!â€
    “You had a head start,†Link defended himself.
    “You were busy staring at Athina!†Tippo teased. He laughed aloud at the surprised looks on Athina and Link’s faces. Good heartedly, he waved for Link to leave. Being such good friends, all three knew each other’s schedules. Today, Link had to start by gathering some more furnace wood for the bakery; it was more of a favor to the owner than an actual job.
    With only a small awkward moment of hesitation, Link turned Epona around and squeezed her sides to get her into a gallop. They jumped the fence and headed off to the woods.

    STORY
    28 June 0001 @ 10am

    Rain, cold and thick, blasted down on everything it could and put up a fight to reach everywhere else. The miserable weather perfectly reflected the lost girl’s mood. Though her eyes were an unnatural blue, brighter than a clear sky, they were now dulled and glazed. The girl had Mako poisoning. She stumbled down the empty street; every sensible person had gone inside. The girl tripped over her own foot and feel into a puddle. She knelt there, rain pouring down on her, with no motivation to get back up.
    “What are you doing?â€
    The deep voice came from the man that now stood in front of the piteous girl. Distantly curious as to who was speaking to her, she raised only her eyes to investigate. The man was tall and muscularly large. His brown skin and deeper brown eyes were more attention-grabbing than his ripped, sleeveless vest and dark green pants. The girl gave no answer to his question.
    “Are you okay?â€
    There was that kind, strong voice of his again. It brought comfort to the girl. After all that had happened, she somehow felt like she could trust him. Maybe it was his build, maybe his hands, maybe his attention, maybe her own desperation. No; it was his voice.
    “No,†the word rasped from the fourteen year old girl’s mouth. She could barely speak, it was so difficult. The rain, still coming down mercilessly, nearly drowned out her feeble voice.
    “What happened to you?†To the girl’s surprise, the man crouched down to her level.
    “Can’t remem–…†the girl’s voice failed her. She wasn’t terribly upset about it; she felt like she was drained of all energy and couldn’t bother with emotions. She hung her head, too tired to hold it up any more.
    “My name is Barret Wallace, and I’m going to help you,†man introduced himself.
    “Rae,†the girl struggled to get her name out. Her electric blue eyes dropped to the puddle she was still kneeling in.
    “Alright, Rae,†Barret hoisted the girl off the ground and held her like one would hold a baby. “I know some good people who’ll get you back on your feet.†With no response from Rae, Barret just continued on, “AVALANCHE ain’t about to turn away someone like you.â€
    A small part of Rae wondered what AVALANCHE was and what Barret meant by someone like her. But she didn’t have the energy to think on it fully.


    RULES
    1. Forum rules are to be followed
    2. Refer to timeline or me if you have question
    3. I am a grammar Nazi; I will bug you about your writing (like a total tosser). If you really have trouble, type up your posts in Word, fix them there, and then copy and paste them to the reply box in kh-vids.
    4. You do not need to have played all the games in the VII compilation (look to the timeline, FF’s wiki, or just ask me if you need to know about a game’s, movie’s, or OVA’s storyline)
    5. I will allow for 5 1 other OCs (excluding Turks at the bottom of the character list); first come first serve; PM your OC to me using the outline below the rules
    6. LilBueno is the cofounder of this. Snow Princess, Machina, and Bushy Brow are the SOLDIER to my presidency as Shinra. (... That means you've got to listen to them or they'll use deadly force.)
    7. If I see any “listen to this video/music before you read this post†things in ANYONE’S post, I reserve the right to stalk you down and slap you in the face. Hard. Just don’t do it. Kay? Good.
    8. This one should be obvious: type AVALANCHE and SOLDIER in caps (that’s how it is); the word “a†shouldn’t precede SOLDIER (ex: “Protect your honor as SOLDIER.†not “Protect your honor as a SOLDIER.â€)
    9. If you want the timeline I've created, you'll have to e-mail me at ben-10-tennyson2005@hotmail.com because a Word document cannot be an attachment on kh-vids. Just put "Black Gold timeline" as the subject of the e-mail.
    10. I'm not gonna be a freak about color coding characters for this thread since there are so many characters and so few colors. If you want to do it, go ahead, but make sure no one else is using the same color/font/format as you first.

    Bio/Personality: Born in 1982 in Gongaga, she and Zack became close friends quickly. The two spent many days together discussing SOLDIER and sharing their dreams of one day joining the elite group. Lightning is determined, concentrated and independent.

    Username: Snow Princess
    Name: Aveline (French for BIRD!)
    Gender: Female
    Age: 19
    Bio/Personality: Aveline grew up in Midgar, her entire family working for Shinra as far back as she could remember. Her mother was a receptionist at Shinra headquarters and her father, brothers, and cousins were all security guards and infantrymen in the army. She herself had been trained to do the same as the rest of her family before her, despite being the only girl.
    Aveline was a very quiet girl from childhood to her late teenage years, boyish in her own way, being raised with only men and a distant mother. When she wasn’t training, Aveline would read and research SOLDIER members and Shinra itself. With the help of her family’s deep ties, she could access materials others couldn’t usually get in the libraries. One member she found the most interesting was a man named Sephiroth. His details and past were something she could never figure out, and whenever she asked her family about him, she only heard the usual praise of his abilities as SOLDIER.
    Weapons/Abilities/Powers: Typical fighting training in hand-to-hand combat, skilled in fighting with double daggers, trained by her father for 15 years and counting.

    Username: LilBueno (Red Robin) (Boy Wonder) (Shell Bullet) (Webhead)
    Name: Legas Storm/Legendary Turk/Death God of the Battlefield
    Gender: Male
    Age: 20 (That's a guess. I have no idea. Should I make him older?)
    Bio/Personality: Legas was born in Junon. He originally started out in an Anti-Shinra group. A few years ago, an arms dealer betrayed his group during negotiations and all of his comrades, including a little girl who was very special to him, died. Shortly after, he was recruited into the Turks (ironically part of the organization he fought against) by their leader Veld. Two years ago, in 1999, he was sent to rescue an arms dealer. He recognized him as the same arms dealer from before who betrayed him. When asked about it, the arms dealer denied it so Legas left him to die in a collapsing building. Because of this, he was put under house arrest by Shinra in Costa del Sol. He actually enjoys his punishment because it gives him time to get to know the women of the beach town. He was recently visited by Tseng for recruitment, being told about a new possible threat to Shinra. He refused to become a full-time member again and now acts as a freelancer for Shinra instead of a Turk, though he still operates like one due to being one in the past.
    Weapons/Abilities/Powers: Unlimited supply of bombs that come out of his sleeves! (I couldn't think of what else to say xD) He's able to chain the bombs to each other. He's also able to use timed bombs and can control their detonation with his gloves. He's extremely agile and quick, able to make it across battlefields in short amounts of time throwing bombs everywhere and strong enough to survive if a bomb blows up too close to his body. He really is a Death God of Battlefields.

    Username: Bushy Brow
    Name: Lent Mitsuri
    Gender: Male
    Age: 15
    Bio/Personality: A young teen from the Midgar Slums who was scouted and signed up for the Soldier Programme.
    He has shown some astonishingly quick progress and has risen to SOLDIER; Second Class.
    He uses moves of the fire variety, however... his flames are for some reason Black in colour.
    Because of this strange turn of events and his amazing potential, he has been assigned to train under Lightning.
    He is a bit more laid back than his new instructor and takes things at his own pace, be warned though... he can be hot-headed and also get pissed off rather easily. He also doesn't know when he should back down. He has no idea 'nor could he even care about why his flames are a different colour.
    Weapons/Abilities/Powers:
    • Weapon:
    • 'Zemetsuguri'. A Merge Blade - (Two average size swords that can be merged together to make one big blade, roughly the size of the Buster Sword once merged.)
    • Limit Break: Black Nova Blitz - An improvised move of his own creation. Instead of surrounding his opponent in rings of fire, Lent releases multiple slashes of black fire towards his opponent coating them in a wave of black flames. He then charges forwards delivering multiple slashes empowered by channelling his black flames into the blade(s). He then quickly backs away and clicks his fingers causing the fire around his opponent to create a huge explosion.
    • Other: As well as the regular SOLDIER like talents, he is able to use his Black Fire abilities anytime, regardless of whether he has a fire type Materia with him or not.

    Username: Tana Panda
    Name: Vance Valentino
    Gender: Male
    Age: 25
    Biography/Personality: Vance is an ex-SOLDIER member, First Class. He worked for Shinra for a long time to support his family, a wife and child. Through a series of events (to be revealed later) Vance finds himself not wanting anything to do with SOLDIER anymore; in fact, he has a lot of hatred toward Shinra: they are the reason his wife and child are now dead.
    Using the skills he was taught in SOLDIER, Vance was able to fake his own death; he staged an explosion in a Mako reactor, placing another body in his place. He hoped that it would be enough to fool Shinra and not have them follow him; Vance was heartbroken, and he had no reason to live among people anymore, let alone as SOLDIER.
    Fleeing from all the main continents of the world, Vance finds a new, isolated, empty home on an island with one cave in the center of it. This was the perfect place for him to use to hide himself from the world. At the back of his new home is a mysterious pool of Mako energy, with a small piece of Materia in the middle; Vance doesn’t bother to touch it, though. The ex-SOLDIER stays here, biding his time, trying to find a reason to keep on living, leave his cave, and get revenge on those that ruined his life.
    Weapons/Abilities/Powers (reasonable; model other FF characters from other
    games if you absolutely cannot think of anything yourself): Two blades for combat; one is a Katana, the other a short-sword. These were his weapons in SOLDIER and the only blades he still possesses for fighting.

    Since I can't buy anything for my computer to make my own graphics yet, I thought I'd ask some very nice people to make a signature/banner for me.
    I was hoping for this picture (http://www.asiamediajournal.com/amj/userfiles/Ben_FusionFall_main.jpg) without the CN logo. I'd also like "True hero" somewhere on it (maybe in place of the CN logo). If it could be made in the "cutout" format, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks so much!

    Anyone else familiar with Parle Productions? They're a great group of cosplayers (who are getting rather famous now) in London, most widely known for their show called "Demxy Time" on YouTube. They cosplay Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, and one Naruto thing. Jenn and Kelly are the main two girls who put on the videos, but there are at least 11 others who assist them. Their YouTubes are jenxthejinx and touchmykeyblade. They're a really great group of people and actors. Check them out! :D

    "Dear Peter"

    I wrote this last night when I was feeling pretty down. Peter Pan has always been a very important part of my life. He means more to me than most people can understand. Anyway, there are these two stars outside my window that I can see clearly almost every night -- they're only blocked by really thick clouds. They shine so brightly and are so close, that I swear they could be the path to Neverland. I was looking for them last night and couldn't find them (because of the cloud cover), then the idea for this song came into my head and I scribbled it down fast as I could. It's short, but I love it. Without further delay here is my latest song, "Dear Peter."

    I don't want to grow up now
    I don't want to be the brave one
    I want to stay like this somehow
    I just want to have fun

    I must confess I have grown up
    But I see how much it means
    To admire the little stuff
    Like a fairy's tiny gleam

    And Peter, dear Peter
    I want to fly with you
    Fight pirates like you, too
    I want to fly with you
    Do all the Lost Boys do

    I don't want to grow up
    I want to fly with you

    Cinderella

    So I went to the library the other day and found Rodger and Hammerstein's Cinderella. I noticed that it's a Disney movie as well. So I got it to see what it was (which is very good by the way). But what I was wondering was why they hype about Princess Tiana being Disney's first black princess. She isn't. This live-action Cinderella was. What's up with that? Seriously, give Brandy some credit.

    Introduction/Background information:
    Children grow up; it's just part of how life flows. But there are many stories, wonderful tales, of a boy and his friends who never grew up. In London, near to a large clock tower, there were three houses. One of those houses belonged to the Darlings at one time. There were some folk who wondered why the Darlings' daughter, Wendy, had stayed in that house her whole life with her family, and then her daughter, Jane, had done the same thing. What was so special about that house that made them want no other? Jane's children, especially her daughter, Rebecca, often asked themselves this question. Rebecca was Jane's youngest child. She had an older brother, Thomas, but she was still lonely at home. Her neighbors and friends, William and David, were very close to her age and in the same year of schooling. They enjoyed playing games together. Their favorite thing to do was live out the adventurous stories that Wendy and Jane told to Rebecca. The three friends always argued over who was the villain, Captain Hook, and who was the young hero, Peter Pan. It almost always turned out that Rebecca was Peter and William was Hook. David, being more passive than the other two, was just happy to be a part of the adventure. At school, the three would talk of how amazing it would be if Neverland truly existed; Rebecca especially wished this. Her father had left their family, saying there was "too much nonsense in this house for anyone to live properly." But there was one thing he'd said to Rebecca that made her both upset and guilty. She'd been talking to Jane of her make-believe adventures; Thomas had left the room when the talk started. Her father had finally had enough of Rebecca's foolish talk and had told her to grow up. That was the night that Jane and her husband had fought and decided to separate. Rebecca had heard the whole thing. After that, she stopped playing with William and David. But each night, before she would crawl into bed, she would stand at the window and say, "I do believe in fairies, and I will always believe in you, Peter Pan." William and David thought she'd given up on being the fun-loving girl they knew so well. The boys continued their games. None knew that Rebecca was going to get the chance to see the reality behind the stories.

    Rules:
    1) This is only partially based on Disney's 1953 version of Peter Pan. It's also based on the 2003 Australian-filmed Peter Pan. There will be some blood.
    2) Let's try to keep it under or around PG-13.
    3) I don't want this thread to have a lot of rules, so just use your head, AND USE PROPER GRAMMAR.

    Prologue:
    The young boy had watched her for nearly two months now. He felt as though he knew her inside and out, but it seemed there was more for him to learn. Girls always had secrets, didn’t they? He’d watched her play with her friends, watched how they’d turn a city street into a forest or lagoon, watched how the girl had so many times defeated “Captain Hook.” The boy took pride in how famous he’d become. He liked to see how the girl showed no fear in the face of danger. Though the most that danger ever was happened to be an oncoming car and the girl running in front of it with no warning. The boy always got a laugh out of the girl’s friends’ worried calls; he knew that she didn’t care.
    But one day, after the boy had come back from his home to watch the girl again, he found that she wasn’t playing anymore. She stayed in her room and read books or drew in her sketch book. The boy frowned upon this. What happened to the girl that ran in the streets and swung a wooden sword? He’d only been gone a few days. But the girl’s behavior didn’t change over the next few days. The boy then decided that if he was going to get any answers to the girl’s new set of mind, he’d have to ask her herself.
    So he waited for night to fall. He watched as another girl he knew, a woman now, tucked the girl and her brother into their beds and told them a story. The boy grinned when he heard the tale of his games with Hook. He very much enjoyed listening to stories, especially if they were about him. The time seemed to pass much quicker when he was enraptured in a story. It didn’t feel like very long before the woman got up, kissed the children goodnight, shut the light, and closed the door behind her.
    The boy’s grin turned to a frown when he looked to his small, glittering companion. He listened to her for a moment, and then turned his attention back to the girl through the window. She was now turning onto her side, snug under her covers and eyes already closed. A small gasp of disapproval left the boy’s mouth; her back was to the window!
    The boy had seen enough. This girl was growing up too fast and too suddenly. He wouldn’t let that pass as long as he could help it. A gentle request to her, along with some convincing, and the boy’s companion got the window open. Quietly as he could manage, he floated through the window and touched his feet to the ground in the middle of the room. He surveyed his surroundings with a smirk. This was the room where he’d finally caught his shadow for good. This was the room where he’d taught the sleeping girl’s grandmother and her two brothers how to fly. And this was the room where he would now give the sleeping girl the chance to experience what her mother and grandmother had.
    The boy was distracted from his thoughts by his tiny, glistening friend. She tugged his hair and spoke in his ear.
    “Shh, Tink,” the boy hushed. His voice was smooth and playful, the voice of a very adventurous boy. “I just want to find out what’s going on with her.”
    With no more objections from his friend, the boy tip-toed over to the bed of the sleeping girl; he looked over his shoulder to make sure that her brother was still sleeping. Convinced that he was, the boy turned his attention to the girl.
    He was still a bit unsure of what he was doing. So when the girl turned over in her bed and faced him, the boy shot up to the ceiling and stayed pressed there for a moment until he was sure the girl was still in her slumber. While his friend laughed at his cat-like reaction, the boy let out a relieved sigh. His eyes bowed to the floor and he saw his shadow. He stuck his tongue out at it and floated back down.
    Something the boy landed on squeaked. He quickly drew up his foot and searched for the source of the noise. He found a stuffed duck returning his gaze with glassy, black eyes. This boy’s friend sat on his shoulder and spoke to him in his ear.
    “Shh, Tink,” the boy repeated, more forcefully this time. “We don’t want to wake her up.”
    “You’ve done that already.”
    The boy started at the girl’s sleepy voice. He turned his attention to her and saw she was sitting up, rubbing her eyes. She’d only just woken and she sound like… a grown up. The boy’s friend made an especially rude noise to the girl, resulting in the boy grabbing her and holding her behind his back.
    “Don’t you know what time–” the girl’s sentence cut short when she became aware of who was standing in her room. She blinked and rubbed her eyes again to be sure she was awake. She’d dreamt of this boy before. “Peter Pan?”
    “The one and only,” the boy replied with pride, his hands on his hips.
    “Tinker Bell?” the girl had noticed the fairy fly onto the boy’s shoulder. The fairy stood up, turned around, and sat back down.
    “Don’t mind her,” Peter began. “She gets this way around other girls all the time.”
    “Not to be rude, but why are you here?” the girl asked. She was plainly curious and intrigued, as she was now sitting straight up and looked fully awake.
    “I wanted to ask you something,” Peter answered. He lightly jumped up and tucked his legs underneath himself. It looked as though he was sitting on the floor, but he was in midair. “What’s your name?”
    “Rebecca.”
    “What about him?”
    “That’s my older brother, Thomas.”
    “Why don’t you play with your friends anymore?” Peter waited with more interest for the answer to this question. The girl hesitated with that answer. It was still hard for her to believe that she was actually talking to Peter Pan at all.
    “Well, I have other things to do. I’m needed more for help and I’ve got my school work to focus on.”
    Peter’s mouth dropped open. Tinker Bell slowly turned her head to look over her shoulder at Rebecca. The boy shook his head both with sadness and disappointment.
    “Those things don’t sound fun at all,” he commented. He untucked his legs and flew, on his stomach, towards the girl. “Don’t you miss games?” He rested his chin on his palms as he spoke. The girl got off her bed and crossed to the other side of the room. She was uncomfortable with a strange boy in her room – one she only knew through stories – and she knew it was improper to be alone with a boy no matter how well they knew each other. She felt a soft wind brush her back. Peter had landed behind her.
    He couldn’t just leave now. She was upset, it was plain to see. Anyone who gave her a glance could tell that she didn’t want to grow up. Peter could see it in her eyes when he spoke of games that those games were what she truly loved, not books or school work. That had set his mind.
    “Come away with me,” he whispered, his mouth close to her ear. “Come away to Neverland.”

    This group has blown me away! I found them last night when I was looking up what guests would be coming to Anime Banzai. This is there webiste: http://www.ichidan.com/main/
    They're a traveling group of actors/actresses that go to convention and perform plays! Their Kingdom Hearts saga is really very good. I recommend that everyone watch it. It's a four part series (only the first two parts are on YouTube at the moment). The parts are titled: Kingdom Hearts: Another side, Kingdom Hearts: Keyblade War, Kingdom Hearts: Master of the Keyblade, and Kingdom Hearts: The Conclusion. However, each part is about an hour and a half; make sure you've got time to watch them because you won't want to stop! If you have trouble hearing what they're saying (the audio is a bit rough), the scripts are on the website.
    Ichidan combines the perfect mix of humor, passion, and sme angst. Their performance of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Black Gate brought Vic Mignogna (Ed Elric's voice actor) to tears.
    Check 'em out and give me your opinion. And if you like 'em, see if they're coming to a con near you! :D
