[color=navy]Well I kinda expected I'd be evicted so I'm not at all surprised, especially after being inactive during the last challenge. Twas fun while it lasted! Either way I'm still hoping a Titan will win the game ^^ Good luck to all of you, I'll still be keeping watch.[/color]

[color=navy]Sorry I was such a let down in this challenge, guys. I just couldn't help it. I've had so much work to do. At the moment I'm still working on an essay that's due in about 8 hours. Sorry again, I know it's too late, but all the best, hope we make it into the teams, though I won't be surprised if I'm eliminated.[/color]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]I think my name is the easiest one and I don't remember it ever being mispronounced except for people not understanding over a fuzzy phoneline: Mary. I feel that it's a common name but I can't really find many people around with it. Though with this name I do get all the nursery rhymes >.> eg: "Mary had a little lamb...", "Mary, Mary, quite contrary...", "Hey Mary, Mary Christmas" and lately one of my friends has taken up putting this together; "Mary, Mary, quite contrary, eating your curds and wey." It really does get old, and starts getting a little weird after a while because they try to create new ones.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]This is a very simple profile for the sake of having something up because I'm seriously running low on ideas. [B]Name:[/B] Dayne [B]Age:[/B] Age is unknown, appears about 22 in Human years [B]Species/Job:[/B] Elf/Druid [B]Appearance:[/B] 5'5", tanned from sun exposure, has shoulder length chestnut hair with bangs that fall into her eyes, the tips of her ears can usually be seen peeking out of her hair, and blue grey eyes. Her clothes consist of a forest green robe with wood brown breeches underneath. [B]Weapon:[/B] [URL=http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/6214/saruman34zv.jpg]Staff[/URL] [B]Personality:[/B] Usually she's quite calm and gentle, but she becomes vicious and ruthless in the midst of battle. At times she becomes angry, especially if someone annoys her. Whenever she has a strong opinion on something she'll speak her mind. Dayne doesn't know her birthdate or her surname because she was found as a child. [B]Notes concerning character relations:[/B] Gets along with her party members, especially Adrian and she helps to keep him in check.[/COLOR]

[color=navy]I automatically thought that was what we would be doing. But yeah, kind of like Kingdom Hearts for lack of a better example. With each theme they get attributes for that, otherwise there's just a character we can use for anything. We should start developing our characters soon so we can get a start on the RP. Are we thinking of using our names for the characters? Or just create one? No reason behind the question, just wondering.[/color]

[color=navy]So...we should go for more creature species and stuff than classes as Jamie described above? Oh, btw, I'm back, lol. But my computer isn't working so I still may not be very active. I'm kinda happy it's a RP but I was hoping of getting out of the writing stuff forthis challenge since it seems there's been nothing but. I hope we do win this though. That way we'll continue to stay strong together as a team, or I wish for that to happen, depending on how we decide to group. Meeeh, think about the future at another time. So yup, different species which can also have some properties of the classes above? Stuff like the ones Sandy listed above.[/color]

[color=navy]Good work team! We tried our hardest, and from what I gather in Sandy's post we were a close second. I've sent in my vote too. All the best if Sandy starts a new challenge because I'm off in the morning.[/color]

[size=1][color=navy]I haven't actually listened to either of the song links provided, so I'm not sure. But I think we should use whichever the music fits best, even if it is the one with lyrics in it. Though it would be best if we could find a purely instrumental one. I don't have speakers at the moment, so if someone would tell me, is the song the version from the Pokemon CDs? I have the Pokemon movie soundtrack (>.>) so I know what the speed and rhythm of that one is, along with the original from the TV show of course. And about the way the names are mentioned in the two verses, I don't think it'll matter too much, because at least mine and Beth's match because they're part of the same verse. Other verses in songs have been known to have such variations so shouldn't be that big of a problem.[/color][/size]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Sorry I haven't been able to post in the main thread or even an excuse in this thread. I haven't had time to do much with anything OB-wise lately because Uni's starting to pile on the assignments and assessments. Matt knows my predicament, but I am sorry. I was really excited about this RP. I'll try to get in a post ASAP but I'm still really busy with assignments, and I'll be going away all of next week without internet. [B]I'll be absent from Tuesday the 10th to Saturday the 14th of April[/B]. If you guys want to post, you can use my character if you so wish. But at the present time I don't know when I'll have time to make a post.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=Navy]Loving the graphics, Jamie. Especially with the "Gonna beat 'em all". The only thing is I think that Matt's name should be in line with the rest of us, with maybe "Captain" in brackets after? I dunno, it just looks a little odd. But I think it's great, good job. I did these lyrics really quickly, as in, in like five minutes >.> [CENTER][I]"Come with us and you will find, All we tell are truths. Beth and Mike can take the test, If what you need is proof."[/I][/CENTER] [CENTER][U]Taking Over:[/U][/CENTER] [CENTER][I]?I will travel across the land, searching far and wide. Each Pokemon to understand the power that's inside.?[/I][/CENTER] Oh, and for an announcement ahead of time. [B]I'll be gone next week from Tuesday the 10th of April, to Saturday the 14th without connection (GMT +8).[/B] So if anything happens I'm sorry I won't be of any help during that period of time.[/COLOR]

[color=navy]Sorry I still haven't had any time to do my lyrics, even though it's a short portion. I have a lot of assignments due in this week close together. As soon as I'm free I'll try to get time to think of the lyrics and get them in, though it may be at the end of the week.[/color]

[color=navy]Beth, just to note you actually have Matt and White's names to deal with. But it's ok since they're both 1 syllable. And I think for that last line you submitted, 'can't' will probably be better than 'cannot' because I dunno, to me it kinda feels like we're squishing that 'cannot' in with the rhythm provided. Sorry I haven't done mine yet. I really can't think of anything and I've got a number of assignments due for uni. But I'll keep thinking about it.[/color]

[color=navy]Hey, it's sounding good so far. Sorry I'm not very active at the moment. The first few weeks of Uni are already piling up with assignments and the like. I'll try to help out in whatever way I can but no real promises because in my own opinion, I suck at lyrics and poetry type things. But if you need me to do some stuff then I'll do my best.[/color]

[color=navy]I actually quite like that idea. Maybe including winning the other challenges. Another thing to consider is how many lines are we devoting to give for our names? I was just thinking maybe we can put all our names in during the chorus, since it is repeated, while the others can talk about the challenge or whatnot. Man, it's so sad that I actually know the entire Pokémon song off by heart >

[color=navy]Apologies Matt, but I'm dropping out of this RP. I've lost the motivation/thirst to post in this RP, and I don't have the time to catch up with this. Sorry.[/color]

[color=navy]That's strange, Beth, because the music from the script challenge worked fine for me. Are you missing plugins? I laughed when I saw the name of the challenge since something about "Smells like Team Spirit" came up with me yesterday, and the irony of it popping up again was quite funny actually. Aaaanyways, the first thing we need to decide on is the song I think, so we have a rhythm to fit the lyrics into. I'm not a fan of writing lyrics because I think I'm actually quite bad at it, but I'll give it my best shot. So um...anyone have ideas for a melody?[/color]

[COLOR=Navy]I know what you're saying. I've had this problem for about 2 weeks and counting. I have received email notifications for anything concerning OB; subscribed threads and PMs. It does bug me because it made it easier just to know if something has happened that I should note instead of searching through everything. Haha, and I only get emails from OB too, so I get what you're saying XD I did ask Desbreko about this about a week ago asking him about it. At first I waited to see if it was just a temporary problem, but when it lasted about a week I thought to bring it up, and since no one else had brought this topic up I just PMed him instead of making a topic. Though now that there is one I thought I'd post, sharing the same problem. Des' reply to my PM was that everything looks normal but he'd do some investigation and get back to me when/if he found something. Well he never did reply but I'm guessing because he couldn't find anything. It's weird though because in my time at OB I've never had a problem with getting email notifications.[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC:[/B] Whoo, first to sign up. Won't finish tonight because I'm really tired, as you already know. [B]EDIT1:[/B] Added description to appearance, changed name, changed age, added description to weapon, added spells (can't be stuffed thinking of cool spell names >.>) [COLOR=Red][B]EDIT2:[/B] COMPLETE!! Filled out both of the personalities and the snippet.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy][U]Character Information:[/U] [B]Name:[/B] Evangeline "Eve/Eva" Valentine [B]Age:[/B] 23 [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/5175/backlightgirlbyheiselc9.jpg]Here[/URL] - Copyright heise@deviantArt Evangeline stands at about 5'6", an average height, not making her stand out amongst others, with a lithe figure, toned from hard work. The white whispy tattoo around her left eye was given to her when she was a child from her family, marking her. She typically wears a simple [URL=http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7637/cuirassvx8.jpg]Cuirass[/URL] over a sleeveless tunic, with pants made of thick, tough material (something like denim) and combat boots. Her complexion is a medium tone because she has had a lot of sun exposure but tries to retain it so she doesn't become too tanned. [B]Resistance:[/B] Sapiens [B]Weapon:[/B] [URL=http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/6040/ageglaiveqb7.jpg]Glaive[/URL] named Zetsu. Eva is always seen carrying her weapon with her unless she has to leave it. It is about the same height as her, only being a couple of inches shorter than her. She's had it ever since she can remember, given to her as a child even when she was way too small to wield it properly. She was taught with a smaller one, progressing as she got older, but no matter her age, she would still have practices using Zetsu, although being much taller than her at the time. [B]Spells:[/B][list][*][B]Cure [Supportive]:[/B] This is a water aligned spell, where she puts her hands over the wound and sends the magic into it, healing from the inside first before working on the outside. It also has the ability to get rid of toxins and infections in the body. [*][b]Thunder [Offensive]:[/b] Aligned with the lightning element, she can use the electricity in any way she wishes, whether it be through her body or passing it through something else; for example she can make it come from her hands to attack someone directly, if someone is touching her she can charge her body and zap them that way, or she could charge her own or someone else's weapon, etc. [*][b]Phoenix Flame [Offensive]:[/b] Her last spell is aligned with the element of fire, but her flames appear blue when she uses it. This spell appears first as a blue aura around her, before gathering and leaving her body, shaping into a phoenix made of blue fire which will soar through the skies, being directed at Eve's bidding, doing whatever she wishes.[/list] [B]Personality:[/B] Evangeline is the type of person who isn't afraid to speak her mind on any matter that will concern her or Dryoga in anyway. Her personality cannot simply be summarised in a few words. Her regular personality is quite calm, but depending on her mood she could blow out at someone over a simple matter or not let anything phase her. Though after she gets over her mood she will usually strive to find the person she shouted at wrongly and apologise. She's normally a cheerful person to be around and jokes around with the other members of the resistance quite often. Not to say that she doesn't know when to be serious. When the time calls for it she will devote all of her attention to the task at hand, especially with things concerning fighting against the Empire. People that know her know not to play around with her when she's feeling stern. Her emotions are quite easily read because the aura of how she's feeling seems to emanate to everyone around her. Eva's incredibly loyal to the resistance and to all of her friends. She'd do anything to help in the fight in anyway possible, mainly by fighting with Dryoga. She's a strategic type and her mind is constantly whirling, moving in overdrive throughout the heat of battle, continually coming up with new plans and ideas. She's not the type to cut and run and will fight fiercely for what she believes in. Her connection to Dryoga is unimaginable, they can feel each other deep within themselves and don't need to speak aloud to each other, able to communicate through thoughts. Their bond is tight and Eve can't imagine living her life without him by her side, supporting her and comforting her when she needs it. Dryoga is the only person/creature that Eva can say she truly opens to. There's no point hiding things from her partner because he can tell when she's feeling troubled or upset about things. Eva would do anything for him, just as he would for her. When the two of them need to cool off, or just want to relax for a bit they'll usually go for a run, either that or go for a fly on Dryoga's back. During these periods both of them are pumped with adrenaline and just get it out of their system by being active. More often than not they'll run first before cooling down with a leisurely flight where they'll just talk or dwell in comfortable silence. [U]Dragon Information:[/U] [B]Name:[/B] Dryoga [B]Color:[/B] Black [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/1201/blackdragonbyelgrimlockry3.jpg]Here[/URL] - Copyright el-grimlock@deviantArt [B]Personality:[/B] Dryoga is similar to Evangeline in every way. He cares deeply for her and will go to any length to please her, except when she asks him to do things that will ill-befall either of them. He will always strive to protect her at any cost even if it means sacrificing his own life, he would do it in a heartbeat. He's generally cool headed and reasonable, aiding Eva by giving his own opinion on things. But through their bond he often feels the same emotions of Eva, being sad when she is, or angry when she is. His feeling of the emotion won't be as strong, but it will be an incessant tugging inside him that will make him react differently on the occassion. He is her partner and will always be, no matter what happens. Dryoga is in fact a frost dragon, and instead of breathing out fire, he exhales a stream of frosty air that can be seen like mist when exhaling on a cold day, freezing the target on contact depending on how much he actually breathes out. [B]Bio/Snippet:[/B] Evangeline laughed loudly as she sprinted through a large empty field, breaking out of a forest. There was a slight crashing sound as Dryoga broke through behind her, four legs galloping across the landscape. She threw a glance over her shoulder to see her partner nearing rapidly, picking up speed. Eva grinned and tried to pump her legs harder, putting in another burst of speed. Dryoga caught up to her and ran beside her, chuckling at her playfulness. Her breathing was laboured and uneven, sweat pouring down her face as she continued to run. Her legs burned from the exercise but she didn't want to stop, it was so exhilerating. Adrenaline flowed through her body freely, providing her with the energy she needed to keep going. Dryoga knew what was coming up in a couple hundred more metres, he sped up a little, which wasn't a problem for him, pulling in front of Eva at a steady speed. At the right time, Eve wrapped an arm over his back and grabbed his neck firmly, pushing off the ground with a grunt and swinging herself onto his back, settling into her usual position and linking her arms around his neck as Dryoga ran off the cliff that was awaiting them. The two plummeted rapidly headfirst, the black dragon spread his wings out, slowing their descent before he flapped and angled himself upwards, pulling them up just before they were due to hit the water. Evangeline laughed loudly, enjoying the experience to the max, with Dryoga smiling in a dragon-like way which actually looked rather menacing, but Eva knew it was a good sign. With a few more flaps of his wings the two were airborne, lifting high into the sky. He pulled off so they were levelled, just lazily soaring, wings beating only so often to keep them aloft. Evangeline sighed contentedly, keeping her legs wrapped around Dryoga's body but leaning back to lie along his plain, crossing her arms behind her head as a pillow of sorts. [B]"Today's been a good day, hasn't it, Dryoga?"[/B] she asked him quietly, closing her eyes, just trusting in him. [B]"Indeed it has. Days to just take times for ourselves are always good."[/B] he answered in his low voice. [B]"How long is it until we have to get back?"[/B] [B]"At least a couple of hours, no hurry."[/B] [B]"Mmm...good."[/B] she mumbled. The two spoke simple conversations as Eva started to drift into the realm of sleep. As Dryoga heard her breathing even out, he smiled and just continued to fly around slowly, taking in the surroundings. They were flying over an ocean, the breezes from below did well to cool their heated bodies after the running. An hour or so later, Eva woke from her nap and yawned, asking Dryoga to take them home. He nodded and banked gently, heading back toward land and to the Sapiens' base.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[color=navy]Yeah, let's get some life back into this party. Still no word from Mike about anything, wonder what's happened to him >.> Hmm, for movies I'm really willing to watch anything besides Thrillers or Horror movies. I've never been good with that type of thing since I was young. I personally love comedies and romantic comedies. Though I like watching action, romance (by itself) and fantasy movies. As for books, hmm, I kinda like mysteries, fantasy, adventures. I'm not a fan of historical type books or biographies unless they're funny, which they usually aren't. I'll add another quick question in, [b]How about what type of music everyone likes?[/b] Matt and I were discussing that a couple of days ago so now I'm curious about everyone else.[/color]

[color=navy]Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry! I've been a bit busy lately but I'll really try to get a post in ASAP!!! You can post about Cameron if you wish. My post will probably be flashback style. As in she's fighting, but then thinks about what happened earlier during the Awakening. Apologies again. Hope to post soon >

[SIZE=1][B]OOC:[/B] Sorry if anything's wrong, feel free to let me know for changes since I'm winging it and I haven't had time to read the rest of the thread yet. [COLOR=Navy]As Kain was lead through the hallways of the ship, the alarms started blaring and there was suddenly a rush of crew members as they hurried about getting to their stations. He raised his head and watched as they pushed their way through. He wanted to follow and go see what the problem was, but the guards kept a firm grip on him, pushing him forward toward the destination. He finally entered a room where a high ranking officer stood. The woman looked at Kain sharply and frowned, looking at the handcuffs that restrained him. [B]"What's going on? Is the ship being attacked?!"[/B] Kain demanded. [B]"Who is this?"[/B] the officer questioned. [B]"One of the prisoners assigned to the ship."[/B] one of his guards spoke shortly, not wanting to talk to a woman. The two guards pushed Kain forward before leaving the room without another word. [B]"So, what was your crime?"[/B] [B]"How can you be so calm when there's an emergency?!"[/B] The doors opened again and more guards and another prisoner entered. Kain stared at the woman, recognising her immediately. [B]"Naydine, you got assigned here too?"[/B] [B]"Yeah, didn't expect to see you here."[/B] [B]"Fraternization."[/B] the officer sneered, answering her own question after seeing how friendly the two were. Kain glared at her, [B]"If it's a battle, I demand you release us and let us help."[/B] [B]"And who are you to be making demands?"[/B] [B]"We're fighters, we can help."[/B] Naydine insisted. The officer contemplated before undoing their cuffs, telling them making their way to the hangar was their own problem. The two of them didn't care, they took off running down the hallways, weaving between the frantic people. It took them some time before they finally arrived at the hangar where several pilots took off in their volkers. [B]"What's around to pilot?"[/B] Naydine asked a techie that was about to run past. [B]"Basic model volkers."[/B] was his answer before he ran off to do what was needed, casting glances back as he didn't recognise them from being assigned to the ship. [B]"Basic models?! You'd think a ship like this would have better volkers to use."[/B] Kain grumbled, running over where they were parked. [B]"I guess each proper pilot has their own specialised volker while back-ups get basics."[/B] Naydine rolled her eyes, getting into the simple plane looking machine. Kain started up the model, flicking switches and checking all the statistics for it. It was mediocre at best and wasn't fit to fight against strong enemies. The two launched as soon as they could, taking off into space to see an army of small robots and a group of Volkers fighting. Kain hit the thrusters and rapidly fired lasers at one of the small robots as he flew past. The small metal creature exploded briefly. [B]"Who are they?"[/B] [B]"Are they back up?"[/B] They could hear the pilots talking over the intercomm between ships. They were unknown to the ship since they had just arrived and would obviously be making the other pilots wary of whose side they were on. [B]"Basic Volker 1, Kain Mason."[/B] Naydine swooped past, blowing up a couple of small robots. [B]"Basic Volker 2, Naydine Realieu."[/B] The two of them left out all details, including the fact that they were prisoners for supposedly conspiring against their home planets by co-existing with the opposite gender. [B]"Is there a way to get our personal Volkers here ASAP?"[/B] Kain radioed the [I]Obsession[/I], not wanting to fight in the junk he was piloting. [B]"We have reports that they are currently being transported, leaving not long after you left your planets."[/B] was the report, a little unsure since they weren't officially assigned to the ship. [B]"Let us know as soon as they arrive."[/B] Naydine cut the line, concentrating on the battle. It was another half an hour of battle before their intercomms beeped, opening the link to the ship informing them of the arrival of their Volkers. They grinned and pushed their thrusters to max, racing back to the dock. The two pilots jumped out of the basic models as soon as they could, slapping hands as they ran past one another to get to their personal Volkers. Kain rode the pulley system up to the cockpit, turning on the OS and smiling at the ease that he operated the machine at. After thoroughly checking the OS and system for anything that could have happened between when he had last piloted the Volker to present, he piloted it toward the exit, taking off easily and spreading Freedom's wing's proudly as he properly joined the fight, with Naydine in VKM-002 behind him.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[color=navy]Yeah go for it Eclipse >< I haven't had much time to post. I'm still getting used to Uni since it just started, and I haven't been able to think of what to post....so yeah....sorry u.u;; I need to catch up too, haven't really been paying attention to the posts lately.[/color]

[color=navy][size=1]Feel free to go with it how you want from me, Annie. I haven't posted because I just started Uni so I'm still in that adapting stage and all. But if Annie wants to go first then I'll post after her, because I don't have any ideas as to what to do. >

[color=navy]Wheeeee~ the first debate is [i]finally[/i] over *relief*. Though the bad news is we have a weird subject. "Legalizing Cannabis WorldWide"....wasn't really expecting that one, huh? Well, at least we're against? Ok, running out of things to say. The main reason I'm doing this is because BK wanted me to >
