[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOrange][B]1. The Star Spangled Banner/Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix Expirience, Live at Woodstock.[/B] - Crazy guitar from one of the best guitarists, and then the inafamous "''s'cues me while I kiss this guy!" line that everybody seems to mishear.... [B]2. Kids with Guns - Gorillaz[/B] - Not one of my favorite Gorillaz songs, but I absolutly adore the bass. You can use it to massage your feet, too...hee. [B]3. People Everyday - Trigun soundtrack[/B] - I'm not sure why I like this song as much as I do, but it's always relaxed me. [B]4.The Waiting Room - Genesis [/B] - Purely instrumental, very creepy and minor with a lot of guitar-moaning. [B]5. Dandy - The Kinks[/B] - Somewhat silly sounding song about a dandy, a ladies man...I just recently rediscovered this song, which was one of my favorites when I was twelve, sheerly because of the line, "Two girls are too many, three's a crowd and four yer dead...." I understand the song a bit better now....heh. [B]6. Champagne Supernova - Oasis[/B] - Again, not really certain why I like this one. I just do. [B]7. Finale - Riverdance[/B] - I love Riverdance. This is a mixture of one of the Celtic chanting songs and the Irish jigging parts... [B]8. Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby - Tom and Jerry Soundtrack[/B] - I love Tom and Jerry, and I love swing. Therefore....you do the math. It comes complete with the sounds of house destruction in the background. :3 [B]9.There is a Mountain - Donovan[/B] - Good hippy music of randomness. [B]10. My Deliverer - The Ragamuffin Band[/B] - The story of Moses, told by the late Rich Mullins' backup band. Almost haunting, yet very hopeful. Very pretty, as well.[/COLOR] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOrange]My extreme apologies for the shortness of my post (and how long it took for me to get it up, ugh) but they'll get longer as the RP goes on. Your turn, Kisha! :p[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Widdershins sat on the windowsill of the foyer in the house they'd stayed at the last week, waiting for Davey. Illiya sat next to her, scratching her ears. [B]"I don't like this place...." [/B]the cat spoke, shifting into a more comfortable position. [B]"It feels weird."[/B] Illiya gave a slight shrug, opening the window. The sun was bright and the air was warm, but there was still a strange chill on the breeze. [B]"Davey wouldn't lead us anywhere we couldn't handle, no?"[/B] She said, staring out at the landscape. The Inn was on the very edge of the village, and they could see the trees and mountians that eventually swallowed the paths out. [B]"We'll be fine!"[/B] Widdershins blinked slowly. [B]"He said today's the day....what did he mean?"[/B] Again, Illiya shrugged. [B]"There's a witchhunter in town...maybe that has something to do with it...?" [/B]Widdershins shuddered. [B]"I hope not..."[/B] The two waited for Davey, talking of nothing and everything and anything that came to mind, as usual.

[COLOR=DarkGreen]Taj strode lightly behind her master through the temple, feeling an awkward mix of embarassment and pride. She'd been warned about her ears before - the spines on the ends were sharp enough that a mistake could mean a heavy scratch, or worse, if she'd hit an eye...she'd been being careful, honest, just sometimes she forgot. But Master Voss had found her amusing, despite the fact that it'd been [i]his[/i] eye in danger...she just dismissed it with a flexible shrug, grinning to herself. Admittedly, she hadn't been paying [i]quite[/i] as much attention to the Masters as she was supposed to be. She did know, however, that if she and her Master were being sent, there would be fighting. She might not be the best at figuring things out, but that was fairly easy. [B]"Whensa we be leavin', Masta?"[/B] Voss's mouth quirked into a slight smile. [B]"So you [i]were[/i] listening somewhat...."[/B] She shrugged, bobbing her head in a quick nod; not explaning that the attention hadn't been full...he already knew. [B]"We leave as soon as the other Jedi are ready."[/B] [B] "Least mesa doesn't have to pack...mesa nevah unpacked from da last one..."[/B] Voss chuckled. [B]"Always have to look on the bright side..."[/B] Taj grinned widely. [B]"Yessa, other side be too dark for mesa eyes...."[/B] She knew what he meant, but sometimes it helped to have those around you think you were slower than you were...together, Master and Padawan headed for their quarters to make the final preperations for their trip.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOrange][QUOTE=Chikara Kokoro] [URL=http://n1ck.com/WOOKIE.PNG](here)[/URL] that kind of makes you wonder, no? It looks an awful lot like a wookie, but most likely the people who were making costumes became lazy and decided to stick faun ears on a Chewbacca wanna-be. Another thing to note is that the effects studio for Narnia (ILM) also did the effects for Star Wars.[/QUOTE] Effects, yes, creatures, no. WETA (responsible for Gollum and the Orcs of LOTR) did the creatures for Narnia. That, my friend, is a Satyr, a greek creature that is a mixture of goat and man, much like a faun, only with more animalistic features.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]HA. I bet I beat you all for weirdness.... [B]1. Raga - Ravi Shankar.[/B] Pure sitar-y goodness. I love Ravi; he's a genius at his instrument. This is a very relaxing piece. [B]2. Los Endos - Genesis. [/B]The final piece of the only non-Peter Genesis album that I actually like. Very cool, basically an instrumental rehashing of half the songs on the album...with some psuedo-Gabriesh at the end. [B]3. Redemption - Switchfoot.[/B] One of my favorite songs off of "A Beautiful Letdown," and oddly ironic...I started this post at four am..."Four am, two hours to go...." [B]4. Think for Yourself - [/B]The Beatles. One of the best George Harrison penned Beatles song that is sadly, often overlooked. Somewhat of an attitude, our Geo has... [B]5. Sonic Boom Remix (Instrumental) - Sonic CD Soundtrack.[/B] Um...I honestly don't know...at least it was the instrumental version.... [B]6. Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield.[/B] - aka "The Exorcist". Very creepy, if you have the patience for layered music. I can play this on my flute. [B]7. The Yodeling Veterinarian - Veggietales.[/B] "But if I siiiiiiiiing, to your poor sick penguin...." No further comment. [B]8. Getting Better All The Time - The Beatles.[/B] One of my first favorite Beatles songs, the first I had memorized, and on of the ones I identify with. It [i]is[/i] getting so much better all the time... [B]9. 99 Luft Balloons - Nena.[/B] A happy, weird, almost post-apocalyptic song that sounds much better in German than it does in English. [B]10. War Pigs - Black Sabbath.[/B] Heh. Probably one of the most awkward sounding songs ever written - but I love it. The droning chant of the vocals, the sirens...ooh, shiver! It loses its effect when sung by my mother though....scary! [Just kidding, Mom!][/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateGray][B]Name: [/B]Widdershins the Black. [B]Role:[/B] The Cat [B]Appearance: [/B]Widdershins is an average sized house-cat, maybe a foot and a half feet tall when seated upright. She is an even black from nosetip to tailtip, no traces of white anywhere. Even her nose is black. Her eyes are strange for a cat: grey-blue and sparkling with an uncanny intelligence. [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/OzymandiusJones/magic2.jpg]Picture.[/URL] [B]Being: [/B]Widdershins is very much a cat. She likes attention [when it doesn't come in the form of little children pulling her tail] but she won't beg for it. As a matter of fact, she likes it much better when people beg [i]her[/i] to pay attention to [i]them[/i]. She's very picky as to who can pet her. Widdershins started life as a typical kitten, black from birth. Life as a black cat was hard in these trying times, she ofter found herself on the run from towns, accused of being a familiar, or an understudy to the witches and warlocks good, upright citizens always feared. She was never really harmed, but spent many nights in the wild, alone, threatened by both the wild animals, who viewed her as domesticated, and the towncats, who viewed her as a threat. All this changed when she met the them... A witch and a warlock, who - to her - are merely called the Two, not out of a disdain for their names, but because Widdershins, as a cat, will not call a loved human by anything but their Names, which is something humans are horribly unaware of. Not knowing their names, she merely calls them the Two. The Two have Widdershin's entire loyality; although being a cat, she would never show it. They never use her as a familiar, nor anything else that makes the cat uncomfortable, and Widdershins willingly acts as their eyes and ears in towns where only a cat can go unnoticed. Very rarely will she speak when confronted with a stranger; if she does speak to a stranger, it is either in insults or riddle poems that confound the questioner for long enough for Widdershins to take off. None of them know how Widdershins aquired the ability to speak; only that one day, after meeting the Two, she woke up and was able to communicate what she was thinking, in the tounge of humans, none-the-less! This tends to be both a help and a hinderance, as the cat speaks her mind, and doesn't take kindly to small minded humans. She does NOT like being called anything but "Widdershins". No Kitty, no Shins, no Puss, and [i]specifically[/i] no "Widdy". She will enforce this preference with her claws. She also doesn't like water, but will venture near it if it means getting a fish. As a cat she does have some minor abilities, all centered around sensing the true nature of things; magical and supernatural creatures have issues keeping her from sensing what they are.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Welcome to the Arena, [B]Sayuri[/B]. I'm afraid this thread is being locked for three reasons: 1.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Alright, Blue Team, follow the discriptions in the PM, we're taking care of what's discribed there before starting with the other story-bits. Three little rules: [B]1.[/B] Do Not Attack the Nemeans in Any Way. They are as powerful as Maerkos claims, and then some. They cannot be mimicked by shapeshifters, confused with words, or effected directly by mental powers, and obviously electric powers will do nothing against them. Plus we want them on our side. ;) Information on the Nemeans can be found [URL=http://www.pantheon.org/articles/n/nemean_lion.html]here. [/URL] [B]2.[/B] The Nameans are the only mythical creatures in Greece currently, besides Hercules, but he's not a creature so that whole point is moot. No centaurs, fauns, or anything of that ilk. Just the lions. [B]3.[/B] Don't take off for the island just yet. We have time, there's no rush. And have at it.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[B][CENTER][COLOR=Navy][SIZE=3]Mission #114: Gods and Monsters[/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/B] [SIZE=1]Sparks climbed out of the plane and onto the runway, sighing at the change in temperature. The plane had been air conditioned ? here, outside, the air was [I]perfect[/I], warm and balmy, salt air blowing off the sea. She sighed, bouncing on her heels happily, closing her eyes to inhale the scent? ?Sparks?? Her eyes snapped open, face flushing at the unspoken reprimand in the voice. Impulse, again?she wasn?t sure how he did it, but he always seemed to know when she was acting un-leader-like. He was looking at her now, although perhaps ?looking? was the wrong term. She smiled weakly. One of the two other women on the team, Sakura, actually [I]frowned[/I]. ?I prefer stormy weather, actually?? ?You?re MAD, child, insane, berserk!? Vernacular was doing [I]exactly[/I] what Sparks had been doing?only twirling in place, arms spread. ?This is the perfect climate, weather, temperature?mmm, I could reside, stay, live here forever?I haven?t been here since my nuptials, fulfillment of my vows?? She sighed at Sparks? blank stare. ??wedding! I was married here.? Sparks nodded, hiding a grin. ?Then perhaps you should wait to spazz about it until you?re here with your hubby?? Vernacular drew herself up to her (considerable) full height, looking down her nose at Sparks. ?I do not ?spazz,? and he?s not my ?hubby?. Beloved, soul-mate, darling, yes. Spouse, lover, husband, yes. ?Hubby,? most decidedly no.? ?Husband. Shortens to ?hubby.? So?? ?No! You heartless slaughterer of the English tongue! Shortening words does not make-? ?Ladies!? Both women turned to look at their teammates. Impulse had an amused grin on his face, while Sakura looked somewhat annoyed. It was the young woman who pointed away from the airport, sighing. ?In case you don?t recall, there is a Demi-God taking over this city?? Sparks sighed again. ?Spoilsport.? She brushed dust off of her coat. Normally, the plane would have landed at the Athens International Airport; but that was in the section of the city that Hercules had claimed for his palace. It had taken extreme negotiation to even get them access to the tiny airstrip that hadn?t been used since the second world war?she didn?t even want to think of what HQ probably had to promise Hercules to even get them there?she scanned the horizon?nothing in sight. Not even a jeep. ?Some king?not even a lousy chariot?? ?Well, we are negotiators for his enemy.? Sakura pointed out. ?I wouldn?t send us a ride, either?? ?Come on, stop talking, start walking.? Impulse already had his duffel bag picked up, still quietly amused. ?It?s going to be a long walk?? ?Joy.? Sparks bent to pick up her own duffel; when she straightened, it was to see Impulse frowning, head cocked to the side. ?What is it?? Sakura slid one of her guns out of its holster, standing ready. ?Something?s coming.? ?JOY.? Sparks snarled. Vernacular looked at her, eyebrow quirked. ?Becoming monosyllabic, are we?? ?You shut up, you long-winded-? ?Stop it, both of you, I can?t hear!? ?What?s there to hear?? There was a flash of brilliant gold; and the seven lions seemingly appearing out of thin air answered her question. Sparks jumped backwards, yelping. Compared to normal lions, these creatures were huge, easily seven feet tall at the shoulder, golden-eyed and maneless, claws ad fangs and fur glistening in the sun. Sakura reacted quickly, calmly firing an entire clip of bullets at the lion in the lead -who calmly and coolly batted them out of the air. Sparks? jaw dropped, Vernacular frowned thoughtfully. A small grunt from behind them told Sparks that Impulse was using his powers?but nothing happened, other than the telekenetic?s face beginning to flush. The lions drew closer, into a circle around the Legionnaires. The one Sakura had fired at snarled in Impulse?s face, blowing his hair with the force of its breath. ?Magician, thy mind tricks will not work on [I]us[/I]?? Sparks? gasped; the voice had come from the lion, but it was both physical and mental, like ?hearing? in stereo, it almost hurt. ?Our lord Hercules has ordered us to bring thee to him, but he did not say in one [I]piece[/I].? Impulse stopped focusing; stopped using his powers. The lion nodded sharply, turning on Sakura. ?And your metal bees did not even sting, thou may wish to look at that?it seems rather ineffective.? Vernacular snapped her fingers. ?They?re Nemeans!? The lion?s mouth twitched into a grin. ?Smart lady?? Vernacular smirked at Sparks. ?My thanks to thee, kind sir, I spent many, multiple, numerous years in learning, schooling, bein-? ?Silence! Thy prattle is worse than that of an old hag!? Vernacular?s mouth snapped shut. Sparks started to laugh, but the second she opened her mouth, those strange golden eyes were on her. She swallowed. The lead lion blinked, still grinning his lion?s grin. ?The speaker is correct; we are of the Nemean clan?we cannot be harmed by mortals?? He glared at Impulse. ?Even magicians.? ?Thee would do well to accompany us, humans?? A second lion spoke, voice rougher. ?The trip back to our Master will be easier that way.? Sparks exchanged glances with the other two women before turning to Impulse. ?What do you think?? Impulse just nodded. ?It?s where we want to be, anyway?? ?Wise, for a mortal.? The lions began walking; in a group, practically as one, all movements synchronized. The lead lion spoke again, deep voice amused. ?I am Maerkos. Get ready?? ?For what?? ?For this.? As one, the for lions broke into a run, the space between them disappearing into a golden blur?one would have thought four humans wouldn?t be able to keep up?but it was as if the ground itself followed the Nameans; Sparks didn?t feel herself move, yet when the lions broke rank - three minutes later - they were Somewhere Else?a glittering white marble palace that she was willing to bet had [I]not been there[/I] yesterday, especially when coupled with the modern city around it. Maerkos bowed his huge head. ?Welcome to my Master?s palace.?[/SIZE]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Taj Niko [B]Age:[/B] 15 [B]Race: [/B] Gungan [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Appearance:[/B] Taj is tall and gangly, like most of her [URL=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4b/Jjportrait.jpg]race[/URL]. Still being young, she's "only" six feet tall, and very slender. Her hands and feet seem to be a bit too big for the rest of her. Her patch-markings are a little darker, and her skin under them is a little lighter than those shown in the picture, and her eyes are dark green. She wears loose white pants and a tunic under a pine green hooded robe. She also carries a silver [URL=http://www.uswing.com/images/slim_whistle2.jpg]whistle[/URL] on a hemp chord. No real reason, she just likes the noise. [B]Personality:[/B] Taj is very...enthusiastic. When she is given a job to do, she tries her hardest to get it done. Whether the results always turn out the way that is wanted/needed is a touchy point. She rarely acts with the decorum needed for a Jedi, although this is something she's trying to develop; something her Master has been admirably patient about. She also has problems being patient. When she is waiting for things, she wants them [i]now[/i]. However, she is incredibly flexible with her time, often giving up free time to help friends. [B]General Overview:[/B] Gungans are not known for being great Jedi. Comedians, perhaps. Mechanics, perhaps. Anglers, perhaps. But Jedi? Not really. Which is why it was such a surprise for Rav and Gil Niko when the Jedi said that their little girl had Jedi potential. So at the age of three, Taj was taken to the Academy. While there, she did have a few problems. The language, for one. Basic is not easy for a Gungan to learn...and while a Gungan [i]can[/i] learn it, they sound very silly in the process. And even little Jedi kids can tease. Another problem was her clumsiness. While a little clumsiness is normal in children, it seemed almost chronic in Taj. the friendly Gungan took the teasing in stride, never putting too much thought into what the other children were saying, except when they teased her accent. Over the years, the teasing has ceased, most realizing that behind the odd accent and gangly form is someone always willing to listen to any problem. Taj has slowly began developing into a slightly more graceful being; her lightsaber training unlocking a sure-footed-ness that she's never felt before. Thus far, the grace only appears in lightsaber training, but her master assures her that she won't be clumsy for the rest of her life. [B]Jedi Overview[/B] [B]Lightsaber(s) Appearance: [/B]The hilt is silver blue, a foot long, and etched through with bronze sea creatures. The etchings serve a dual purpose - they remind her of her home world, and also act as grips to keep her saber from slipping through her fingers. [B]Lightsaber(s) Type:[/B] Standard. This is mostly due to Taj?s lack of learning and grace; she is not yet at a skill level where she could use a double without causing injury to herself, and her constant darting makes the concept of a blade that shifts lengths, as in a dual-phase saber, a terrifying concept indeed... [B]Lightsaber(s) Crystal/Colour:[/B] Taj?s lightsaber is powered by a Mephite crystal, as is typical. The blade is a sunny orange, and Taj has inhanced the blade with a Jenraux crystal for speed. [B]Lightsaber Combat Style:[/B] Sokan [Form VIII]. This form uses much of the agile, flexible traits of Ataru, along with a knowledge and use of the fighting surroundings, effectively forcing an opponent to shift positions according to the landscape. Its combination of speed, agility and large use of terrain make it ideal for a long-legged fighter. [B]Favoured Force Power(s):[/B] Force Jump and Valor are the areas Taj studies the most. Her method of combat is very close to her method of everyday living ? enthusiastic and energetic, and often spastic. While this does make her an unpredictable opponent, it is draining when used as a combat form. Valor is used to increase her stamina, and replace the energy that she rapidly burns off. Force Jump is often used to inhance her already large jumps, allowing her to cover the large amounts of land utilized in Sokan form combat. [B]View of the Force:[/B] Taj believes the Force is in all things, and all things are in the Force, and that it is something to be respected as you would respect any other living being; also that it is good to have a healthy fear of it, same as you would fear any tool or weapon.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]My name is Sarah, but more people actually know me as Ozy, and I do answer to Ozy. I'm nineteen, and the oldest child in my immediate family (siblings and immediate cousins). My younger sister actually hangs around here (lovely girl by the name of StarrStruck, you'd be hard-pressed to pry her out of the Arena to actually post anywhere else, though...), and I'm proud to announce that in addition to being my younger sister, she's also my best friend. I'm currently in the final weeks of my second college semester. It is still too long. This semester has been crazed...working and schooling at the same time has been an interesting expierience. I want to major in education...I don't know if this will occur. I work part time at a restaurant as a hostess (or possibly gopher, the two seem interchangable). It is quite possibly the most boring job in my area, but I make myself feel better by telling myself it's better than McDonalds, which was my first job. I'm writing this as I am supposed to be finishing a psych paper or a speech, both due uber-soon. I'm so prompt and punctual! I am a Christian. I believe in heaven, hell, angels, demons, God, Jesus and Satan. I do believe my point of view is correct, but I am also a firm believer in the philosphy that talking is better than screaming, and that you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. I do not believe in blanket condemnations, shunning, ostracizing or censoring. I am a conservative, but refuse to affiliate myself with any particular political group, because there are idiots on both sides of the aisle and I don't wish to be related to them in any manner if I can help it. Plus if you affiliate yourself they add you to their mailing lists and you are never free. I believe there are things worth fighting for, and that if you don't fight for them they will eventually be taken away. I don't like war, but believe it is sadly necessary at times. I am still a virgin, and plan to be until I am married. I have never been kissed, never had a boyfriend, and only been asked out once. At times that annoys me, and it turns me into a veritable monster around Valentine's Day, but other than that I am fine with it. Any accusations of prudery may be directed to my PM inbox where I can delete them en masse all the while laughing at them. I could care less about swearing. Words are words. I don't swear myself, and I will glare at someone who swears at/near children, but other than that, whatever. I could care less about drinking, if done in moderation. Gambling is fun, but against my church vows, so I don't do it. If done in moderation, again, I couldn't care less. I am fascinated by many subjects; I RP far too much over IM, I like Anthro art, so long as it's not weird sex-fetish-type art. I am obsessed with classic rock. I know far too much about the Who and the Beatles, and would take them over R. Kelly and Green Day any day. I believe Genesis is the most-genius-group ever created, until Phil Collins replaced Pete Gabriel and then it stank. I think John Entwistle was the most handsome man to ever live, and that is not an arguable fact. I consider "guy watching" a legitimate hobby. I love shopping, but not for practical stuff. I count down to Christmas starting in June. I love every book Ray Bradbury, Terry Pratchett, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis ever wrote, and Diana Wynne Jones should be given a Noble prize for humor. If someone could genetically mix those five authors somehow and force the resulting person to be an author, I would die of happiness. I tend to talk a lot. I am a computer geek. My room is never clean, and I want to burn my work uniform. I can't stay focused, and I tend to jump from subject to subject a lot. I am seriously NOT trying to beat Sara for length. And so far I've only scratched the surface. ;) For further information on me we have my [URL=http://www.livejournal.com/users/ozymandiusjones/]LJ[/URL] or my [URL=http://ozymandiusjones.deviantart.com/]dA[/URL], or you could just IM/PM me. I'm done now. Really.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][b][CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/OzymandiusJones/RTP.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [center] Once upon a time? ?or maybe twice? there was an Unearthly paradise called Pepperland. 80,000 leagues beneath the sea it lay? ?or lie? I?m not too sure? [/CENTER][/B] [[URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/ozyssite/image003.jpg]Pepperland[/URL]] Pepperland was a beautiful land, full of vivid colors, music, and happy people?very [I]strange[/I] happy people, but happy people none the less. They got along with their neighboring countries?all but one. [[URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/ozyssite/image005.jpg]The Land of Blue[/URL]] Pepperland?s neighbors to the North were everything the Peppers were not. They were not happy. They did not like music. And to them, only one color was acceptable: blue. The Blue Meanies were mean, as their name implies. But not only were they mean ? they were also nasty, cruel, dastardly and all-around jerks. One day, the Chief Blue Meanie decided enough was enough. Pepperland had been permitted to exist for far too long. He launched the attack against the peaceful land ? and the Peppers were defenseless against them. Pepperland fell in the space of one day. Pepperland?s last hope lay (or lie) with Young Fred, an old man who had managed to escape the attack. He fled in the Yellow Submarine, part of the fleet that had brought the Pepper?s ancestors to Pepperland. Guided by some unknown force, the Sub made its way to Liverpool, inexplicably drawn almost directly to the Beatles. The Beatles agreed to help Young Fred and the Peppers, and thus joined Fred in the Submarine. After meeting Jeremy Hilary Boob, Ph. D. (?Fud?), a strange furry creature who speaks mainly in Carrolian nonsense? [[URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/ozyssite/image027.jpg]Jeremy[/URL]] And completing various bizarre, random and most likely drug-induced [[URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/ozyssite/image009.jpg] subplots[/URL]](ooh...bad pun.), The Beatles and Fred arrive in Pepperland to find that the Blue Meanies are completely in control. So, in an attempt to rally the countryside, the Beatles impersonate Pepperland?s Founders ? [[URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/ozyssite/image011.jpg]Sgt. Pepper?s Lonely Hearts Club Band.[/URL]] (Please do not ask me why their hair is green. Please, also, do not inquire as to why one of Paul?s pant legs is a different color than the other, or how John is using a trombone and a?er?director thingy at the same time. I cannot answer these questions. I doubt the [I]animators[/I] can answer these questions.) This heartened the citizens of Pepperland into an uprising. After hand to ?well?word?sort of? combat between John and the Dreaded Glove, and the re-appearance of the original Sgt. Pepper, the Blue Meanies were defeated. Repenting of their lives of meanness, they joined the citizens of Pepperland in the appreciation of music and happiness. The Beatles returned to Liverpool, and everyone lived happily ever after? Or so the story goes. But as so often happens and is so seldom told, the Reformation of the Blue Meanies did not last long. At all. It lasted so short that one can doubt that it ever really even existed. As a matter of fact, it lasted about a day. Now, two months later, Pepperland is again in a state of siege. The valiant Sgt. Pepper?s band is once more trapped inside their blue glass?and this time, they?re not even in Pepperland any more. This time, the Blue Meanies wised up?if only slightly. The Sgt?s Band is imprisoned deep in the land of Blue, far away and through the dreaded Blue Tooth Mountains. Young Fred has again been dispatched to find help?again, the Beatles will come to his aid. But will they be able to stop them this time? Or will music and Pepperland be doomed for all eternity? Dun dun dun?[/COLOR] [CENTER][B] ***[/B][/CENTER] [COLOR=Navy]Hello. Here we go again, right? Right. We're trying this one again. As you can tell, (if you're one of the...what...5 Beatles fans on this board?) Return to Pepperland is in the same genre as it's original movie. The main plot is The Beatles and their merry group of rebel Peppers must rescue Sgt. Pepper's Band from the Land of Blue. There will be side-plots (they have three Seas that they must pass through in addition to the Land of Blue) and the suchlike. There will be lots and lots of humor. Puns and absurdity are encouraged. If you've read all that and are still interested, there are characters from the original movie who you can play...problem is, most are already reserved. More info on Characters can be found in the [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?p=694965#post694965]UnderWater[/URL] Original Movie Characters: [B]?Young? Fred[/B] - Open [B]John[/B] - Open [B]George[/B] - Reserved for Snarktastic [B]Paul[/B] - Reserved for Grammar Panzer [B]Ringo[/B] - Reserved for Starrstruck [B]His Blueness[/B] - Reserved by ME! [B]Jeremy[/B] - Open [B]Max[/B] - Open You don't have to play as a movie character. As a matter of fact, I would like a few original characters. What I need from you is this: [B]Name:[/B] Anything goes. Humans are still named human names, monsters have...weirder names. Preferably a pun on a stereotypical monster name [Grisnak, etc]. [B]Age: [/B] Humans 10-100, monsters can be anything. [B]Gender:[/B] Self explanitory. Male, Female. [b]Species[/b]: Human, Monster, or Meanie [B]Appearance:[/B] Humans look like humans who dressed themselves while on LSD. Monsters...well...they're grouped into one mass group, "Monsters", but they look like pratically anything. Sky's the limit. [B]Talents:[/B] This is "Powers" basically. There's a list of powers available in the underground. If you have a new one, PM me and I'll probably add it. Just remember: Music, Colors and Humor are the weapons here. If you play an instrument, add it. [B]Personality:[/B] Self explanitory. [B]Bio: [/B] Self explanitory. Doesn't have to be long, at all. If you are one of the people who have reserved a character, the [i]basic[/i] stats for said character are in the Underground. That's just the base, feel free to tweak it as you like. If you want to be one of the original movie characters that isn't reserved, just A) PM me, or B) Show me in your sign-up that you've got the character right. I will be picky with the original movie characters, just so you know. If you are an infidel and unfamiliar with the movie [just kidding!], the transcript is found [url=http://www.freewebs.com/ozysfic/Yellow%20Submarine%20The%20Script.htm]here.[/url] Seriously, this girl is a genius. Trying to transcibe that movie is like trying to herd cats. Trust me. I hope to have this RP up and running in about two weeks, or around December 15th. Please have your signups done by then. And I think that's about it...just get ready for one serious trip...[/COLOR]
