[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=DimGray]"I'm about as confused as you - and apprently all of us - are." Nate said, looking over at the newest arrival. It had only been a couple minutes since he had washed up and now four more people had appeared. "So..." Nate thought after a small while of silence and thinking. Nobody new had shown up since the girls appearance and that was about 10 minutes ago. After that everyone just went quiet and thought to themselves. "Are we stranded?" the girl asked, concerned but calm. "No, that's impossible." Ruhe stated with a light German accent. "I was..." he began to explain the falling off the building but stopped himself to avoid possible embarrassment. A few seconds of nothing... "Well, I guess we could introduce ourselves." said Nate. "I'm Nate. I'm 21 years old and I'm from Sydney, Australia. Umm.. yeah. So, hi." he started.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I think that [i]is[/i] Tiana's way of getting on your good side... I think it was a compliement, lol. :sleep: [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=dimgray][FONT=Tahoma]Alright, so they've updated the [url=http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/list/index.html]website[/url]. Some pretty neat stuff but I'm craving more (they update the site every weekday from now on) information about the game. I've gone so nuts I've even found myself lurking the GameFAQS forums. So, inspired by all of this I've decided to bring in a GameFAQSesque topic. Costumes. I've made up the main and alternate costumes for the characters. Keep in mind that when I mention an alternate costume as a character, it means if you were to choose that costume, it wouldn't say the regular name it would say the costumes name. Tell me what you think. :) [b]Mario[/b] #1: Brawl (what he looks like in Brawl) #2: Galaxy (Normal Mario without fire and gravity defying powers) #3: Raccoon Mario (Super Mario Bros. 3) #4: Dr. Mario [b]Peach:[/b] #1: Brawl (an updated, and more-detailed version) #2: Regular (Melee) #3: Classic (N64 Graphics) #4: Daisy Brawl [b]Bowser:[/b] #1: Brawl #2: Bulky (From games where he's drawn pudgier like Paper Mario and Super Mario 64) #3: Dry Bones (The final boss version of him from New Super Mario Bros.) #4: Green (From the old TV shows) Well, that's all I feel like doing for now.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I'll claim #14 then. This is seriously taking forever, though. >_>[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Yay, I'm done. ImageShack isn't working right now so I just uploaded it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I guess I'll take 26) Letters. Hehe![/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Alright, it's up. Sorry about that! Lots happened (my cat ran away at one point!) in the past 2 days so I never got the chance. Anyway, there it is. Basically if you want some inspiration, have a small bit introducing your character then have them somehow wash up on the shore. The point is somewhere along the line your character should fall asleep (mine was knocked out) to access the dream realm which is the island. That is [b]NOT AQUAS du MON[/b]. We have to go through the first gate to get there. Which we will do eventually. Also, your character may start noticing some differences in their agility and strength (which seems very heightened). And some of your senses (sight, hearing). This is the [b]"First Power."[/b][/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][CENTER] [img]http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4816/elementsxm3.jpg[/img][/center] Nathan Jericho, age 21 walked down the downtown Sydney sidewalks that lead to a large blue and gray building in the middle of night. He was dead tired, burnt out, and had a headache from so much stress and just needed to get away from everything to relax. A swim would be nice. Since Nathan was a lifeguard at the local community center he was allowed to go in to the pool for free as long as another lifeguard was with him and there was a supervisor on the premises. Bill [i]always[/i] stayed at the offices late so Nate and his fellow lifeguard, Jake decided to meet every Thursday midnight. Sometimes one wouldn't show up but it didn't matter since they would quickly pop in to sign that they "were there" supervising. Tonight happened to be one of those nights. Jake had gone out with a girl and they went back to his place so he just signed that he was there and left with the chick. Nate wasn't particularly disappointed. It meant that he didn't even have to talk. Just swim. He kicked off his sandals, took his towel out of his gym bag, took his shirt off, showered and dived on in. The luke warm water on his somewhat exhausted body made working those extra hours [i]so worth while[/i]. BANG! He had only been swimming for a few minutes when he somehow wasn't looking and darted head first right into the side of the pool. His vision quickly got blurry and he couldn't concentrate on anything. A throbbing pain in his skull made it hard to think. He slowly sank to the bottom...[/font] [FONT=Impact] [center][size=5]WATER[/size][/center][/FONT] [COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma][i]Salt?[/i] was Nate's first thought. He had just woken up from what could've been a coma and he was more intent on thinking about the taste in his mouth. [i]Wait a minute,[/i] he started to piece one and one together. [i]Where the hell am i?[/i] Nate quickly got up and felt his head... no bump. He felt his skin. He was wearing... clothes. Clothes that he had never even seen before. But they did look nice. Very... [i]blue[/i]. Then he took in his surroundings. He was on a beach of some sort. Out in the distance was just more water, no island or anything. He was certainly not in Sydney. he turned around and noticed that the beach sharply curved around him. "Shit!" he cursed. He was [i]on[/i] an island. He looked at what was on the island. Surprisingly, no plantation. Just sand... and rocks. Big rocks. There were a lot too. In fact they looked like that one wonder... what's it called... [i]Stonehenge![/i] he thought. Though it was a bit different. These looked more like doors... and they were all in a circle. One, two... twelve of them. And then, someone else washed up on shore.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Name:[/B] Felix [B]Power:[/B] Probability Manipulation - Ability to alter probability, causing unlikely things to happen or likely things to not happen. [b]Personality and Description:[/b] Felix is 5'10" and has long light brown hair. He's 16 years old and is currently in high school. He's a bit of a rebel like most people his age, but that's just a youth thing. He's quite the good kid other than the fact that he smokes pot and drinks quite a bit. Though, his friends love hanging out with them because for some reason, nobody ever gets busted with Felix. [B]Additional Notes:[/B] When Felix was just a fetus, his parents were told that they would have to go through a miscarriage with him. The day before the miscarriage, Felix' father was mugged and shot on his way home from work. That same night, his mother was so depressed from the news that she drugged up on a lot of medicine killing herself. However, because of all the extra work she put her body through, the white blood cells started multiplying to defend the body and managed to heal the cut that was killing baby Felix and he made it out alive. Felix is a common Ancient Roman cognomen for "lucky." Felix is not depressed about never having parents. It's not hard to miss someone when you've never ever known them. He loves his adoptive parents very much and had a good youth.[/FONT]

[center][img]http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/1065/undergroundcopyxo1.jpg[/img][/center] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]Welcome to The Elements: Stars Underground where all discussion about the RP will take place. To start, here's my character sheet. The actual RP will be launched in about 5 or 6 hours.[/FONT] [INDENT][COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma][B]Name:[/B] Nathan Jericho [b]Age:[/b] 21 [b]Appearance:[/b] Around 5'11" and 160lbs. Nathan is an average fit guy, with short sun-bleached hair and a tanned skin tone. Usually he wears long, baggy shorts with interesting designs and patterns (i.e. billabong, plaid). His t-shirts are usually the same deal. Regular tees with simple graphics. He's got a small Australian accent as well. [B]Country of Origin:[/B] Australia [B]Element and Starting Powers:[/B] Nathan receives the element of [color=royalblue]Water[/color]. When he first encounters his powers, he can only manipulate water (to a decent extent, however) but not create it. He also eventually learns to breath underwater later. [B]Personality:[/B] As the oldest in the group, Nat finds himself being looked at as the leader. And because of this his real personality is hidden away to be taken over by a leader/fearless role. Not showing his true colors, nobody is really sure if he can ever really joke around but as the group gets to know each other they will find he really can sit back and relax with his friends, enjoying the company.[/FONT][/COLOR][/INDENT]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Wow, can I just say this has got to be the hardest RP decisions I've [b]ever[/b] made? So many talented Roleplayers and so little spots. Here are the roles: Nathan (21/Australia/M) - [b]Water[/b] - White Cody (17/Canada/M) - [b]Fire[/b] - Adas "Zizu" (19/Czech/M) - [b]Rock[/b] - Big Sky Ruhe (17/Germany/M) - [b]Wind[/b] - Engel Solace (16/America/F) - [b]Nature[/b] - Fyxe Thanks to everyone else for signing-up, I really appreciate it. The Underground and RP threads will be up within a day (along with my sign-up).[/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Impact][center][size=5]SIGN-UPS CLOSED[/size][/center][/FONT]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I'm back! And I'm so happy we won! :) You guys did so great while I was away and.. well.. *tear* [i]I'm just so proud of you all![/i] But seriously, good job. As far as MSN and AIM goes my MSN is [email]slrb1119@hotmail.com[/email] and my AIM is SupaLrb. I'll try to get on a lot.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]OK, so now we've all seen both banners. Personally I like Zeke's better. It seems to match our colour scheme a bit better (there's more red and it's less bloomy). KW, yours is sweet too but my vote is Zeke. :D Also, just so everyone (including Sandy) knows, I'm going away this weekend. I'll be back Sunday night.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I think there's been a little confusion about the Country of Origin part (gotten a few PMs and such). Basically the idea is all the Chosen Ones are from the same planet (Earth, home of the First Power) and meet up together on the Star Aquasum. The Country of Origin is just which Earth country you're from. :) Keep those sign-ups coming! I may end up having to add one more element to the list, hehe. I'm going away for the weekend so I'll be back on Sunday to close the sign-ups. If you plan on joining, have your sign-ups posted by then, no exceptions. [b]EDIT:[/b] I'm also loving the amount of Canadians we have. ;p[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][CENTER] [img]http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4816/elementsxm3.jpg[/img] [img]http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/7595/lettercopyog1.jpg[/img][/CENTER] "Welcome to the realm of Shilann. A huge universe with many planets and portals to traverse. In Shilann, there are 12 [i]very[/i] different worlds called "Stars." Each Star is just one unique column to holding up the entire realm. Within each world is a unique area where there are 11 gates, each leading to another Star. Since I can remember, these gates have always been locked, only accessible to the 10 Star Leaders. One of the gates not being accessible to anyone without [i]The First Power[/i]. Another not being accessible to anyone without "The Ultimanium Key" as the prophecy specifies. According to these ancient recordings, when Darkness escapes its Star and sweeps over Shilann, 5 chosen ones will arrive on the Aquasum Star through the locked gate each wielding the First Power. They will go from Star to Star, inhabiting the powers they find by fighting off the Darkness until they arrive at the final locked gate with The Ultimanium Key to banish the Evil One. The chosen ones will only have access to their powers in Shilann which, to them, is only available by sleeping and going into a deep sleep. It is in their dreams where they will find the open gate to the different stars (the only unlocked Star being Aquasum). Well, at my time of writing this, the darkness has swept across 9 of the 12 Stars and by the time anyone reads this I fear all of the Stars will be corrupt. Don't trust anyone. [RIGHT]Prince of the Ninth Star, Psylasm"[/RIGHT] [CENTER][img]http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1232/rolecopyba5.jpg[/img][/CENTER] So basically, you play one of the 5 chosen ones. You wake up with your bedroom window open and a white dove with strikingly purple eyes and feather tips flies in with the shown letter rolled up in its talons. You take it and instantly attempt sleeping, waking up in front of 11 large gates. Each gate a different colour with a golden lock. There's a silver key with a blue diamond in the center on a string around your neck and you open the blue gate, stumbling upon the Aquasum Gate grounds. Staring at 4 other confused teenagers. [center][img]http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/7964/signupih7.jpg[/img][/center] Each person gets 2 elements in total, but you get them [b]one at a time[/b] receiving them at the according Star when the team gets there as a reward for vanquishing the darkness. For now, just put one element. The First Power will be described later. Here's the elements to choose from: [u][B][strike]Water[/strike][/B][/u] Power to manipulate and create water. At the smallest level, one can muster up a thin fog and create a sun shower. On the largest scale, one can create a hurricane or tidal wave. [b]Abilities:[/b] Breathe Underwater and Swim Quickly. [U][B]Fire[/B][/U] Power to manipulate and create flames. When weakest, one can create small sparks and waver small fires. When strongest, one can create tornadoes of fire and manipulate a forest fire. [b]Ability:[/b] Immune to any intense heat. [u][b]Wind[/b][/u] Power to manipulate and create gusts of wind. In the first stage, one can change the wind direction and create enough force to push up to 500 lbs. In the final stage, one can create a tornado and send an entire army flying backwards. [b]Abilities:[/b] Ability to fly and heightened speed. [b][u]Rock[/u][/b] Power to manipulate and create earth and rock. In the first stage, one can turn hard granite to clay and lift small rocks off the ground. In the final stage one can create large earthquakes and uproot an island. [b]Abilities:[/b] Can turn into sand and heightened strength. [b][u]Nature[/u][/b] Power to manipulate and create nature. In the first stage, one can revive a wilted flower and spawn a sapling. At it's strongest point, one can revive a human being and manipulate an entire forest. [b]Abilities:[/b] Ability to heal and turn into animals they encounter. Fill out the following form. [b]Name:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] 14 - 23 [b]Appearance:[/b] [b]Country of Origin:[/b] [b]Element and Starting Powers:[/b] [b]Personality:[/b][/font]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Sweet, I'll edit this post once I get the second piece done. :) [b]EDIT:[/b] Done! [url=http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/5944/worm1copywq6.jpg]Click'ere[/url]. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I guess the Aces is fine. I just don't want to be named after a crappy movie. All the reds are cool too. Though, I prefer Firebrick and Crimson.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I guess we would use red then. Or bolded black? ;P I thought of some more team name ideas, though. The Awesome Team Team We're Better Than the Other Team The Protagonists And I also thought of something else. Instead of naming our team after what we all are individually (i.e. we're all aces, so we're The Aces) why don't we get a term that describes us as a team. So like a group of Lions is a Pride... what about Team Pride? Something to think about. The Assemblage The Assembly The Alliance The Ensemble And if you throw in some describing words you can make the names even more meaningful.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]What if we used black as our colour, but everytime we bolded or italicized something (like while using black) we used red. [color=black]So an in-challenge post may look like this. For the most part it's black. But if we ever wanted to [color=red]stress[/color] something, or if we wanted to say [color=red]MAKE SOMETHING STAND OUT[/color] we would use [color=red]red[/color].[/color] When we write [color=black][B]The[/color][color=red] Aces[/B][/color] we could do it like I just did.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Oh oh. I know I'm not really allowed to but could I claim the second piece (even though jiggly isn't done yet). I kinda wanna keep on doing the second pieces or something, with the year number and what not. >_> [b]EDIT:[/b] *whistles* Still waiting for jigglyness to do that first piece.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma][quote=White][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=DimGray]A little about myself... I think all I'm basically doing here is introducing myself to SunfallE since the rest of you know me fairly well. And SunfallE has Knowing You, Knowing Me to get to know me, hehe. But for the sake of it... I'm 16, 5'10", dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and male. I enjoy gaming and computers aswell as graphic design. I also have a kitty cat. I was born and raised in Canada and I've lived in this town for about 8 years.[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote] There we go. :) [b]The Aces[/b] sounds cool, as does [b][color=red]red[/color][/b] or [b][color=black]black[/color][/b]. But I think [b][color=red]The Lucky[/color][color=black] Spades[/color][/b] sounds neater. Up to you, though. Also I vote Matt as Team Captain, aswell. He did just fine for the Titans. And Zeke or Tiana can do the flag since they're both artists and I don't wanna fight for the chance. :P[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Well, I heard the entire album a couple days ago. I'm impressed. I grew up loving Linkin Park and it's really neat to see they've changed just like I have. I'm loving the new songs! There is one song (I'm not sure which it is) that just bothered me. It was almost as annoying as AFI, but oh well. This album was [b]much better[/b] than Meteora and Hybrid Theory. And those albums were [i]good[/i].[/FONT][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Sandy][FONT=Century Gothic]Excuse me, but the third theme was up for over a [I]week[/I]. The challenge simply took too much time, and I assumed from the slow posting rate that people were starting to run out of ideas. The challenge was never meant to be a full-fledged RPG, anyways. But rest assured, there are plenty of exciting challenges ahead... [I]if[/I] you make it there, that is. ;D[/FONT][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I meant from the first persons post but okay. I just got excited that's all. :([/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]That sounds good, Boo. And I think Delta's piece is a could way to end the worm (what with the final number and everything). However we still need a host. >_>[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I hope we weren't supposed to post these in order. Here's #19 Paper.[/FONT] [/COLOR] [center][img]http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/2792/delta50copygu4.jpg[/img] [url=http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/2792/delta50copygu4.jpg][size=1]http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/2792/delta50copygu4.jpg[/size][/url][/center]
