[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Over the past year or so I've noticed that a good sum of OB members on my contact list come online between 10pm and 1am. I was wondering, do you all really go to bed that late? lol I know that on a school night I'm asleep by midnight. I just can't get up at 8 in the morning if I've gone to bed late. I'm not a morning person. When I've got no school or work the next day, however, I usually end up in bed by 4 in the morning, hehe. Sometimes I'm out late partying (usually I sleep at someone elses house to avoid parents while I'm crunk) while other times I just sit on my computer for hours until I can't keep my eyes open anymore (I blame OB for this, more specifically: tehsillycircus). So what are your sleeping patterns? Do you go to bed early and wake up late? Vice versa? What helps you fall asleep at night when you can't on your own?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Solo Tremaine'][COLOR=#503F86]It's tragic that the rest of it was never released. You'd never be able to rip it from the show.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] I love the music from the US movie. It's all done by one band (save for the opening song which has some rapper) and it's addictive like nothing else. Years ago I went out and bought the soundtrack to the movie so if you guys want I can send you the songs, though they aren't hard to find online. :catgirl:[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][center]Lunox: [img]http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif[/img][/center] Well, I don't really know how you feel (although your post has given me great insight so I understand a little bit). I failed one of my courses (my teachers fault, he was such a douche) and now I can't go to College or University because I have to stay at High School for another year. :) I'm glad you feel better, though! That was a seriously heart-wrenching rant. I'm sorry I don't have much else to say. D: [center][youtube=Just Remember...]jHPOzQzk9Qo[/youtube][/center][/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Well I'm not really into any of the core bands (though Avenged Sevenfold is pretty dec') but I do love my metal. It sounds like you've already listened to a lot of core music and are looking for more so I thought I would suggest some stuff [i]like[/i] core but a little heavier. First and foremost, Metallica. You hear the name all the time (you might have even listened to them already) but they're a great band. Black Album, Kill 'em All (hit the lights is

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]My parents have a secret recipe for making Macaroni and Cheese ([b]not cheap Kraft Dinner[/b], [I]real[/I] Mac 'n' Cheese). It includes tomatoes and onions and a variety of other things. It's really quite mouth-watering. Apparently my Dad's mother used to make it all the time so it at least goes back one generation. I don't think my Nana got it from her mom, though. Probably a friend or something, haha. Kind of sucks with all these food places nowadays family recipes are becoming less and less common. :([/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]This show is truly amazing. I started re-watching the episodes (starting with Adventure, of course) in Japanese for the sake of nostalgia and they really stand up to the test of time (8 years, but oh well). When Digimon first came out I was like 7-9 years old and I fell in love with it. My brother is 5 years older then me (making him 22) so he never got into the whole Anime craze (he never liked cartoons, anyway). But recently I managed to get him to start watching Season 1 (in english) and he [i]likes it[/i]! It's amazing! Granted the fact that his girlfriend happened to grow up with Digimon helped to get him to watch it but after the first episode he was hooked regardless. It just goes to show that Digimon is 10 times better then any episode of Pokemon. Sometimes I wish I could just slip into the Digital World. :animesigh Has anyone else found that the Japanese version isn't quite as childish as the english dub? It's also funnier, haha.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Sandy'] Thus, [B]Allamorph[/B], I choose you! *throws a Pokéball*[/QUOTE] lmao. Sandy, that has to be the first time in a while that someone from OB has actually made me laugh out loud. :animesmil I know in all the threads I voted in I keep saying it's a very hard decision but this one really takes the cake. Your poems are so similar and yet so different that it's almost impossible to choose. q_q Gavin, good rhyming scheme and excellent vocabulary. I'm not to sure about the second stanza, though. It almost makes it seem like the city is a quiet and peaceful place which no city is. Same with the music part, I don't think any city sounds are pleasant to the ear. Allamorph, the whole first stanza is really the deciding factor for me. I just cannot stop reading it... [indent]the city sleeps In silence, save the solitary souls Who stand, from dusk ?til dawn, their thankless roles:[/indent] So simply because of those thankless roles that keep the city running while we sleep, I give my vote to [B]Allamorph[/B].[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]This is a very tough decision to make. I really enjoyed both of these. A_M, your poem is excellent in that it has good imagery and just the way you've written it seems very professional. Now I have never heard of Dixieland, unfortunately, so I can't relate to that part of the poem at all but I can still relate to the piece as a whole with or without Dixieland. Darren, you took an interesting approach at the topic in that the person is going over their dream vacation in their head. I think this is a great idea and it's pretty original given that your topic was simply "Vacation." This is a tough call but I'm going to have to go with [B]Aaryanna_Mom[/B]. Really great work, both of you.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Just a quick question, and you may have already mentioned this somewhere in the thread but when does voting end?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Something I've been thinking about for a while since I started re-watching the first season (in Japanese, ftw!) is the crests. I know I let us all pick our own (Passion, Memory and Luck) but I realize now that none of those really work. The whole point of the crest is it's the DigiDestined's [i]main[/i] personality trait. Example, Joe is cowardly, intelligent and responsible but above all he is [i]reliable[/i]. His crest is reliability. If you watch the first season from the beginning (especially if you've seen it all before) you really notice that each characters trait comes out from the very beginning. From Matt being worried about finding his friends to Takeru always having hope. So, because of all of this I would like to give the Chosen Children another chance to change our crests (this includes myself). If it means you have to re-write your character a bit then so be it. If you feel that your current crest fits fine and you can RP your character while keeping that trait in mind in all their actions then you can do that. I know I am changing Rem's though. Since it'll be a while before we actually get our tags you have a while to decide on a crest. Rem will probably be either Truth or Justice. Aceburner, you can change Russ' since Zen hasn't been participating. [b]EDIT:[/b] Also, I had another thought. Since things seem to be getting a little confusing with the Digimon and DigiDestined being controlled by two different members what do you guys think about just everyone being a Chosen Child with their own Digimon? We don't have to, I just want to know what you guys think.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]What about the people who are already gone? I miss members like KKC, Little Serenity, Kitty and Sakura (I know you still stalk threads, post more!). They were all part of that group that joined around the time I did like 4 years ago and we always RPed together. *tear* I'm pretty close with (of course) [COLOR="Red"]Anomaly[/COLOR], Boo, Dragon Warrior and Retribution (though we haven't talked in a [I]while[/I]). Unfortunately I'm only ever able to get online in small spurts of time so I can never go on AIM or MSN to talk to any of them. ;__; I also miss some of the oldies that disappeared. Where did Sara go? :( All of my OB friends are slowly starting to leave. I need to talk to some of you new members more![/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]There's something about OBers role playing dancing, singing zombies that just seems [I]right[/I]. All of these ideas are great, it's too bad we can't use them all. :( Or maybe we could? A musical where we travel through time? :O[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Aaryanna_Mom']I like the simple nature of making one want to go to the ocean to experience it vs the serious slant in the second poem.[/QUOTE] I agree, but I really just couldn't write about having fun in the ocean or describing the ocean as a good thing because [i]I[/i] dislike the ocean. All experiences I've had with the ocean are [B]bad[/B] and so that had to come out in my writing.[/COLOR][/FONT] [size=1][b]edit:[/b] Damn, I'm 5 points behind. xD[/size]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Keep in mind that the Digimon and the DigiDestined are rarely seperated. If a Chosen Child is thrown off a cliff by a Kuwagumon, their Digimon will jump off after them in an attempt to save them. The Digimon's job is to protect the DigiDestined.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I really liked both these poems. So right off the bat good job to both of you. [B]Raiha[/B], I like how you interpreted the topic you were given. You did more then just write about a desert and included other things that made the poem a lot more interesting. The love that ties the speaker and the person they love is the same love between the speaker and the desert (that's how I percieved it, anyway) and I thought that was very well done. [b]Rachmaninoff[/b], your poem starts off well. You did an excellent job of describing the desert and everything it encompasses. I especially enjoyed the fourth line of the first stanza. Meddling human hands seems so appropriate. You guys make this very hard for me. I enjoyed how both of you were able to write about the dryness of the desert and also fit in the fact that it rains there once in a while. After thinking it over a lot, I choose [spoiler]Neuvox[B]raiha[/B][/spoiler].[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]I vote [B]White[/B] and his miniature epic.[/FONT][/QUOTE] You make me blush. :animeblus I think you're right about "aquatic" and I even thought about changing that but I couldn't think of anything better. Watery would probably work (at least better then aquatic) but like you said I'd have to change around that whole quatrain and by that point I had been working on the poem for like 2 hours so I just posted it, haha. Wat'ry, haha. I wish I had thought of that. xD [quote name='Allamorph][font=arial]Watch for "[b]just[/b]" in all your stuff. Not that it's bad to use it, [b]just[/b'] be careful.[/font][/quote]lol[/COLOR][/FONT] [font=tahoma][color=dimgray][b]Treble[/b], thought I would say that I like how even though your poem has no real story behind it, it's still more then just blatantly describing the ocean. I really got a sense of how relaxing the ocean can be from your poem where in mine the ocean is more of a killer. :)[/font][/color]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]This is definitely intriguing but I have to wonder how we'll do the whole singing thing. Will whoever has to sing [i]actually[/i] write and sing their own music or are they just writing it? Since in musicals the singing often starts with one person but then breaks out and ends with like 50 people (if you want a great example click [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRYU4cqUAUs]here[/url]) maybe we could have songs continue into other posts? This would be a good time to get that OB Band to work as well. :)[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][b]ForgotteÑ-HerÖ[/b], your poem sounds very forced. It seems like at some parts you were writing and couldn't think of a rhyme so you looked one up and tried to make a sentence fit. If this ever happens to you again, I would suggest re-writing the quatrain in a different way. Also be weary of how many syllables are in each line. If the first one has let's say... 5 and the next one has 10 then it sounds very chunky. It's nice to see your poem actually follows a basic story line. It gives the piece a nice depth (even if the story can be contradicting at parts). If one were to further examine it, they may find deeper meanings to things they overlooked when first reading it. [b]Aaryanna[/b], your rhymes are pretty well done. Each one flows well to the next. The little alliteration at the end of the poem ("Serene Sierras") does a good job of creating an image in my mind. While your descriptive words were certainly good and I could really feel the persons passion for those rockies, I think that [i]all[/i] you were doing was just describing mountains leaving your poem a little creative-less (I don't even think that's a word but oh well). [spoiler]However that's not enough to overlook Prem's long running sentences and forced rhymes[/spoiler] so my vote goes to [spoiler]Aaryanna[/spoiler].[/COLOR][/FONT]

[CENTER][b]Digimon: The First DigiDestined[/b] [b]UNDERGROUND[/b][/CENTER] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]So this is the backstage thread where we can talk out of character about what's going on and such. Right now we should be concentrating on just figuring out each others characters personalities and also learning about the Digital World (but not necessarily [i]why[/i] they're in the DigiWorld, they don't know they're DigiDestined yet and neither do the Digimon). Thoughts? Also mention here if you have ideas about like Bad Guys and such so we can plan having them in the RP ahead of time. I'm thinking I want to stay away from Black Gears and Digimon but we could still have some sort of Digimon that can control other Digimon or something. Puppetmon maybe?[/COLOR][/FONT] [indent][b]CHARACTER INFO[/b] Rem and Koemon - [url=http://otakuboards.com/showpost.php?p=809508&postcount=3][COLOR="DimGray"]Click Here[/COLOR][/url] Kredion and ??? - [url=http://otakuboards.com/showpost.php?p=809473&postcount=2][COLOR="DimGray"]Click Here[/COLOR][/url] Russel ([url=http://otakuboards.com/showpost.php?p=809529&postcount=4][COLOR="DimGray"]Click Here[/COLOR][/url]) & Guilmon ([url=http://otakuboards.com/showpost.php?p=809767&postcount=6][COLOR="DimGray"]Click Here[/COLOR][/url]) Mist and Veemon - [url=http://otakuboards.com/showpost.php?p=809754&postcount=5][COLOR="DimGray"]Click Here[/COLOR][/url] Judith and Lopmon - [url=http://otakuboards.com/showpost.php?p=809784&postcount=8][COLOR="DimGray"]Click Here[/COLOR][/url][/indent]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Rem reached into his pocket and felt around a bit before finding a round bumpy object. He thought he had just fallen right through the ground but now that he looked out the device and examined it he remembered it fell from the sky, he grabbed it and then he ended up here. "Do you guys have one of these too?" Rem looked at Russel O'Brady and Kredion Akima, they were both looking at a similar device in their hands. Just at that moment all three Digivices lit up and the sky darkened. Three multi-coloured beams of light shot down from above and landed on the three In-Training Digimon. One by one the three DigiDestined watched each Digimon grow and change form. Each one stated what they were changing into. "Gigimon digivolved to..." he started growing bigger and let out two long arms, strong legs and a tail. "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Guilmon.jpg]Guilmon![/url]" "Kokomon digivolved to..." the small brown monster let out two long ears tipped with pink and sprouted two tiny arms and two tiny legs. "[url=http://images.wikia.com/digimon/images/7/7a/Lopmon1.jpg]Lopmon![/url]" "That's incredible! In just a few seconds they've grown larger and stronger!" Rem said to the other humans. "DemiVeemon digivolved to..." the white and blue Digimon grew a bit larger and formed a small horn on his nose. "[url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/V-mon.gif]Veemon![/url]" "Alright, Veemon!" shouted Kredion. "Kick some ass, Guilmon." Russel said. The three Digimon charged forward at Yanmamon and shot their attacks. The red dinosaur Guilmon opened his mouth causing a small red flame to ignite. It grew larger and he shot it at the Yanmamon. "Pyro Sphere!" It hit the Adult Digimon's wing causing it to start falling to the ground. "Good job, Guilmon! Now it's my turn." Veemon yelled. His charged at Yanmamon full force. "Vee Headbutt!" Yanmamon shifted to the side to dodge but Veemon still nicked his tail, spiraling the flying insect into a tree. Everyone sat quietly, expecting the Adult Digimon to get back up and attack. There was silence.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][INDENT][B]The Wayward Waters[/B] Out there in that vast blue wonder there is a forgotten ship. A wreckage of a long lost boat that never finished its trip. It serves as an aquatic graveyard for the abandoned sunken crew. It ties their lives to the ocean, with a knot that will never undo. My father was on that lost vessel, and so this is my final farewell. I'll give my life to the ocean and become tied to him as well.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/FONT]

[SIZE="1"][b]OOC:[/b] Okay, so welcome to the RP! Before we start I have a few things to say. Firstly, I'll be giving us a new "episode" title once in a while for inspiration in posts. Think of this as our own season of Digimon. Be creative! :D Also (this is for DigiDestined), seeing as how all of our sign-ups are from different ages of time, we can say our characters are all from different times. Rem is from the medieval era. Lastly, the first posts are going to be DigiDestined and Digimon meeting. Digimon, you are at In-Training level right now.[/SIZE] [center][img]http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6467/digimonil6.jpg[/img] [img]http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/1315/ep1wu0.gif[/img][/center] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"] [indent]"Rem Princeton was a good apprentice to his father. He was quickly learning the art of Gold Smithing and becoming a good salesmen for his Fathers smithing shop at the same time. It was sure that in a few years, he would be helping run the store. However that all became completely irrelevant one day when Rem was sucked away into the Digital World." [i]Huh? Oh damn, what the hell just happened? Last thing I remember I was walking home from the market and then I fall through the ground? That can't be right.[/i] a very confused Rem thought to himself for a few minutes before finally, he opened his eyes. What he saw nearly made him faint. Sure, he was in some rainforest which was pretty shocking aswell, but what almost made him faint was the fact that sitting on his stomach staring right into his eyes was a small brown monster, spikes and all. Rem let out a yelp as he jumped up into the air, causing the monster to laugh and yelp with him. In fact, it was speaking English. "Yeah! Haha! You're here, you're here!" it jumped excitedly. "Rem! Rem!" At that point Rem stopped screaming and stared blankly at the creature in front of him. It was obvious that it didn't mean any harm and was just a child. But how did it know his name? "Excuse me..." Rem trailed off. "Kokomon." it said. "Right, Kokomon. Do you have any idea where I am?" seeing as [i]Kokomon[/i] seemed completely unaware of the strange surroundings, Rem figured it was native to wherever he is. "This is the Digital World!" Kokomon was more then happy to answer questions. "Okay. I have no idea what that means." Rem was about to ask another question when he heard a rustle in the bushes. He quickly picked up a stick from off the ground and readied to throw it at anything that popped out. What he didn't expect was another human to walk into the open, followed by a small creature similar to Kokomon. "I am [i]so[/i] glad I'm not the only person here."[/font][/color][/indent]

[quote name='Aceburner'] By the way, As the story advances, are we going into "Modes" as well as higher levels of evolution? (My character's Mega will be Gallantmon either way, but I'm curious.)[/QUOTE] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]We might have Mega forms [i]eventually[/i] if everyone participates long enough to get to that point and after that, who knows. We may even experiment with eggs a little. But [B]everyone has to be loyal to the RP[/B] and post [I]at least[/I] once a week. So [I]everyone[/I] is accepted. I'm glad eventually I caught the interest of a good group of people. In typical Digimon fashion I'm going to allow those who have signed-up as Digimon choose their partner. The remaining person will post a sign-up for their Digimon or if someone else joins as a Digimon they can be partners. Thanks for joining, everyone! Let's make this one of the best Digimon RPs OtakuBoards has seen! :animesmil[/COLOR][/FONT]
