[size=1][color=darkred]Hi, I was wondering if some lucky person would like to make me a banner and matching avi from Gankutsuou - The Count of Monte Cristo. These pieces would be of none other than the Count himself. I would like something on the darker side but knowck yourself out. As far as text maybe Shakespear "Come not within the measure of my wrath", or feel free to knock yourself out again. I would appreaciate it alot of one of you "computer literate" people could do this for me. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Thanks :animesmil [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]shadow[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]I just finished watching the first volume, and I am very impressed so far. The visuals are interesting and took a second for me to adjust but beautiful, expressive and stunning all the same. The music is very impressive and compliments the story well. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]I think they have done an excellent job in portraying a futuristic society but still keeping the style and fashions of the time period the book is set it. I love all the characters and I think the dubbing for the show is excellent, but I prefer dubbed better anyways.[/color][/size] [font=Times][quote name='Kaze']So where would you rank it among all the GONZO titles, in terms of overall quality? I particulary want to know if it's visually better than FMP, or whichever series you find to look the best. And would you definitely recommend the DVD for purchase? All the praising makes me want to get it.[/quote][/font] [size=1][color=darkred]So far on the list of Gonzo titles I would rank Gankutsuou very high. It is hard to compair it to FMP because I think the visual interest is drawn elsewhere. In FMP the characters have alot of depth and character detail. While Gankutsuou the detail is more on texture, as well as boistering alot of backround/enviroment detail. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]I would most definately recommend it, though I personally really like stuff on the more classical to renaissance periods.[/color][/size]

Not with that hand AHHHHHH![/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=1][color=#8b0000]Ok I've scared myself with this one [/color][/size][/font]

[size=1][color=darkred]Fayt looked cautiously around the darkened enviroment. The darkness was rather to his liking though, for many reasons. Most people have a subconscious fear of the dark, it takes away ones sight and forces them to rely on thier other senses. They hear things, it is easy to lure them into traps and distract them. Also the color of Exile blended rather well with shadows, the darkness gave the true Devils an advantage.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]He continued to make his way to the center of the city, most of the gangs seemed to be doing the same, and even with the advantage of darkness Devil distress signals and casualties were increasing rapidly.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"Damn, I wish I could get a hold of Felix, I want to know if things are as bad as they look,.....or worse." Fayt sighed slumping in the cockpit.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"Well I just picked up a lone Devil mech heading this way more than likely it's Felix" Lucifer, blandly stated as Fayt glanced down at the radar.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"That's definatly him, no one in the Devils is stupid enough to try it, or skilled enough to attempt it alone" Fayt said sitting up and grasping the controls "Other than me that is"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"Your just insane don't confuse the two" Lucifer smirked a slight change in his monotone robotic voice. "Fayt, 3 enemy Mechs just appeared on the radar between us and Felix"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"Good I was getting bored" Fayt said speeding forward.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]As he approached the mechs Fayt fired a barrage of missles at the closest mech, lighting the area ablaze as the twisted remains smoked and burned. The two remaining mech turned and began firing but Fayt moved using the smoke for camoflauge. Crouching behing a building he reache back grabbing the Plasma Swords housed on Exile's back.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"Fayt, might I suggest using Faust to fire a plasma beam, if properly aimed you could take out both targets at once" [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"Naw I'm saving that for some one worthy" Fayt said standing up and rushing his mech forward.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]He closed in on the closest mech quickly and swifly brought both plasma swords down diagnally recieving a shower of sparks. The last mech turned but before it could fire the tip of an energy spear was sticking out the cockpit.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"What took you so long, Felix" Fayt said before adding "Hows the situation?"[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]I picked children, because they can be sadistic and twisted beyond measure. In the right circumstances they might not recognize right and wrong like most people. Also innocent appearances lowers peoples guards. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Kids can just be scary, especially when they are smart, too smart. Or zombies like in Resident Evil Apocalypse, :shudders:.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]Oi, I had no Idea there was a thread allready up for this. Anyways, I really like how they show the Count having a devilish appearance so to say. I am counting the days till the 25th.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]I totally agree with you Dagger, it would be awesome if it could get TV time, I think G4(Tech Tv) is a likely cadidate. They have aired 3 shows done by Gonzo so I'm hopeful. Only time will tell though, now I'm hoping for an anime version of The picture of Dorian Grey, ok maybe not that far.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000]But I like the fact that they seem to be staying more true to the book, including character such as Haidee, Andrea, Maximillian, Caderouse, etc. The most recent movie, I found enjoyable, but after reading the book I thought they left out and changed too much.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]I stumbled apon the site for Gankutsuou - The Count of Monte Cristo yesterday and I was rather captivated by the concept. [i]The Count of Monte Cristo[/i] book by Alexander Dumas is one of my personal favorites, and Gankutsuou looks like it is going to add some promising twists to the story. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]The costume design are very original is style, but most definately in color and texture. I don't know quite how to explain it without sounding like an idiot.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Anyways the DVD comes out on the 25th of this month I believe, so I thought I would try to see what the rest of you at the OB think, if your interested in the anime, and planning to buy it. Then this can be a discussion for the Anime once it's out.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Here is the web site if anyone is curious, [/color][/size][url="http://montecristodvd.com/"][size=1][color=darkred]http://montecristodvd.com/[/color][/size][/url]

[size=1][color=darkred]I'm going to have to go with Bit :Waits for gasps lol:. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]If I remember right, Liger Zero's core contains one of those AI things like Van's Zee, but His is just fused with his core or part of his core, though I might be wrong. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Van does has had more formal training, and pressing circumstances, but I thing Bit has more natural skill than him. Also I think Bit has been in a more diverse range of battles, Liger Zero being alot more adaptable because of his Attachments.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]Cant really think of anything but lol I have fun doing this[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"So thats where babies come from........"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]

[QUOTE=Osaka]Naaaah just good ol fashion luck meh friend :catgirl: but the real question is... can anyone tell me the easy way of beating the chocobo thing were I have to get a time of 0:0:00??? and are we ever gunna see FF12?? :([/QUOTE][size=1][color=darkred]As far as the chocobo race, from what I remember is just make sure you get all the ballons and dont get hit by any birds. Use your D-pad its better for sharp turn to dodge the birds. Every couple of races hope for the like 4 ballons at the beginning, they make things alot easier. But basically birds are what you really need to worry about, then balloons, though try to get as many as possible, don't risk it if you will get hit by a bird. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Sorry it probably doesn't help much, I dunno how to really explain it[/color][/size]

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium][size=1][color=green]OOC: NO problem Kairi, I wasn't implying that I was invincible, in matter of fact humans posses untapped power, I was just emphasising the little amount of patience Beezlebub has for anyone without honor, mainly humans though, it was a test so to say.[/color][/size][/font] [size=1][color=darkred]Beezlebub propped himself up against a tree, the moonlight dimly illuminating the forest. The flames left by Rubedo still thrived ever so slightly, feeding off everything in reach. No standing strait he spit a mouthful of blood, a sinister smile crept across Beezlebub's face, almost mimicing that of Rubedo.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Good, Excellent"[/b] Beezlebub laughed his deep voice radiating for miles.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"You are far more twisted than I could have ever imagined, you truly should be a Duke of Hell[/b]" He added, his laughter seeming to make the trees groan.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"The potential the human soul is capable of, good and evil, you have pleasanly surprised me Rubedo, you have earned my respect, but even though you were trained by my kind, you have yet to see the true darkness of hell, something I could show you......"[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"I respect you more than most, because of this you have my blade in battle, for you take far more action than most, especially angels, their tendencies to talk and manipulate are rivaled only by Lucifer"[/b] Beezlebub finished jumping up in the sky and spreading his massive wings, dissapearing in the night.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]*********[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Beezlebub stood in a dimly lit room, a glass of vodka in his hand. Stepping out onto the balcony, the barren frame of the Eiffel Tower, silenly watching over the city. A cool breeze greeted his large frame as he took another drink from the glass.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Reoan, it seems as if everything intends to spiral down on you, though you are far more capable than most, what do you intend to do? Kill Adiol for all I care, that holds little signifigance to me, but Kraven, you are who I am really here for, Reoan just seems to be in the crossfire, though your death will restore the balance"[/b] Beezlebub spoke to himself before returning inside.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]Oooo lets see[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]1. Beating around the bush, or when some one starts to tell you something and says nevermind. Conversations that are long that can be short bug me.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]2. Girls that party to much. I am more chill, plus it just seems like that it dominates their lives.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]3. When girls drink to much. It depends on the girl, as long as they know their limits, hold their liquor and dont get to emotional.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]4. When guys try to act hard, or people try to be something they are not. Just be yourself, it works better[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]5. When people are drama kings/queens, immaturity. It just gets old, grow up its not the end of the world.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]6. Ignorant people, as well as uneducated people. Ignorance is a big sin in my book[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]7. Red lights, they just suck.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]I just realized, I might be an a**hole. :animeswea [/color][/size]

[size=1]OOC: Parabola you do realize that my mech is as useful for long range support as a snowflake in hell. Plus I only have 5 beam daggers. Just though I would point that out. It's like bringing a knife to a gun fight, literally lol.[/size] [size=1][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Vince looked somberly up at Sakura's mech, the damage was extensive, to bad for what had happened.[b] "That mech, it was to powerful, it had to have a weakness, everything has a weakness."[/b] Vince thought at Sakuras mention of Tyrant.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Don't worry about Chi, we'll get that Tyrant back, I promise"[/b] Vince stated sternly before returning to his normal cheery self. [b]"Anyways, I wasn't really going anywhere, I was more or less just venting" [/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Ya, it seems to be going around"[/b] Sakura sighed.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"And I'm really not looking forward to Baskin, though it will be nice to come back and rub it in Halin's face when we return"[/b] Vince smirked drawing a pleased laugh from Sakura.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"So have you ever been there?"[/b] She asked curiously.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Lets just say I have been close enough to know enough of what it's like, though technically no"[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"I see"[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"I think I am going to try and grab something to eat, care to join me?"[/b] Vince asked holding out his hand if he was asking her to dance.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000]OOC: sorry it's short, though I just wrote a 2 page essay and I'm kind of written out right now[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred][b]"Damn, Baskin, it had to be Baskin, of all the god forbidden places it had to be there"[/b] Vince callously thought as he wandered around the base.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"That Harlin is a bastard, if Kaizu hadn't of hit him I would have done it for him, but I think I'm gonna go, especially since Kaizu dropped him, 1 punch too, what a wimp"[/b] He spat venting his anger while he had some time to kill, though he was calming down rather fast. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"[b]Well I'd rather freeze to death than die of heatstroke in a desert, though hopefully it wont come to that. Hmmm not mention the sand, I hate sand and no water, damn........I need something to clear my mind"[/b] He finished as he ran into Sakura.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]The two stumbled back and looked at each other, almost if they didn't know what to do. They stood there for what seems like hours before they both broke into simultanious laughter.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"What are you laughing at?"[/b] She choked out, as her laugh began to fade.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"I don't know"[/b] Vince turned smirking before adding.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"So how's the mech?"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Sakura's cheery face faded to grim before she replied "[b]They said they should Have her ready to go in 3 days"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"So are you going then?"[/b] Vince added rather curious about the answer, for they made a good team or at least he thought so.[/color][/size] OOC: I hope that's ok Sakura, let me know if you want me to change anything

[size=1][color=darkred]Fayt lay sprawled across his bed, his body barely covered by blankets. Naturally he rolled his body away from the sunlight that infiltrated his room, as he pulled the covers up retreating into a ball. He began to re enter the somber sleep when he felt a sharp pain on the top of the head. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [color=darkred][size=1][b]"Ouch, what the hell was that for!"[/b] He exclaimed at Shadow, who stood pecking at his head.[/size][/color] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [color=darkred][size=1][b]"Damn you, remind me to thank you later"[/b] Fayt added with a smirk as he sat up, releasing a yawn.[/size][/color] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]He stretched his arms then cracked his neck before getting up walking over to the table. He slowly poured water into a bowl resting on the table, then he dipped his hands in the clear liquid and splashed his face. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]He and Cira had talked into the night, later then either of them expected. They never really talked about anything relevant, it was normally random and fun. Fayt enjoyed her company, though he still knew little about her, and it seems he had blabbed everthing about himself to her the first day they met. He couldn't help it though, he felt like there was a bond between them. He wasn't in love, though maybe one day and it wasn't intimate or sexual, maybe spiritual but he just felt comfortable around her. Hopefully the bond he felt would prevail in combat as well as trials they where going to face.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Focusing back to getting ready he walked over to his stuff and slid on black linen pants before slipping on his armored boots. He rumaged around through his stuff before he found the mate to the outfit, a black linen shirt. He fininshed off dressing himself by putting his belt on, daggers hanging from thier sheaths. Fayt grabbed Caspar fitting the strap around his shoulder as he walked out the door. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]The crisp morning air greeting him warmly as he made his way to the courtyard, eager yet nervous to see what the new day would hold.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]Fayt sat in silence waiting for the two SAF mech's to come within range. He patiently watched as the blips on his radar moved closer and closer. The rounded the corner as Fayt shot one of his smoke canisters inbetween the two mechs. The smoke was a custom color of black to match his mech. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Don't shoot no matter what"[/b] One pilot of the SAF mechs yelled as Fayt circled the ring of smoke in his mech. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Taking aim with his right arm he fired his gattling gun into the air as he circled. The display was met by the added fire of one of the mech and the sound of tearing metal.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Did I get him?"[/b] The pilot who shot asked as a gust of wind picked up and blew away the smoke.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]A black and gray mech stood infront of him with its left arm aimed at his cockpit. The SAF mech beside him still smoldering from the bullets. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"No Quite"[/b] Fayt coldly stated as he let the shogun blast ring out into the sky.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]The mech fell backwards slumped onto the other, Fayt didn't ever turn to look as he sped away.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"See I told you it would work Lucifer"[/b] Fayt said smirking.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"I never said it wouldn't, all I said is you would have a better possibility if you waited for Felix"[/b] The voice from his mech replied.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Blah blah blah, you know you love my style"[/b] Fayt finished before opening up a comm line.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Felix, what is your location?"[/b][/color][/size] [b][size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size][/b] [b][size=1][color=green]OOC: sorry its so late guys, I hope thats ok Derald[/color][/size][/b]

[size=1][color=darkred]Beelzebub walked slowly down a crowded market street of Egypt. Though he touched no one as he weaved in and out of the people. He chose to walk even though he was capable of much more effecient means of travel. Walking allowed him to have more [b]"fun"[/b] as he would call it, his sinister laugh following the word. In truth Beezlebub somewhat enjoyed being on earth, yes he found humans to be detestable but they were entertaining all the same. Where ever he would travel, a path of mysterious, brutal murders followed and it was the same here.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]"[b]The human soul, so easily temped, the forsake God until overwhelmed by darkness, then beg for his mercy. Disguisting and spinless, yet twistedly entertaining"[/b] Beezlebub's deep, coarse voice rang as he gazed apon two bodies, each with each others heart in hand.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]They were just broken toys to him, things that had outlived thier pupose, in this case his sadistic amusement. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"I believe I have played enough for one day, but who shall I visit...........the Zodiacs, Kariz, Ima, Raven, Kane, Rubedo, yes Rubedo, or maybe Adiol, that would prove to be fun"[/b] Beezlebub laughed as he dissapeared into the shadows.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]He reappeared softly behind a ragged figure. "Hmm You would make a powerful ally of hell, though this I'm sure you know" Beezlebub thought as he took a step forward recieving a cold voice.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][b]"I though I told you to save it Adiol"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][b]"I probably would if I were Adiol"[/b] Laughed the demon drawing the attention of Rubedo.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000]"[b]I'm rather tired of these interuptions.....are you here to get me to kill Reoan as well.......If you wan't your balance restored do your own dirty work"[/b] The guardian spat back.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][b]"Do not insult me lightly, I will not shy away from it like Angels, and oh how I do like to rip out tounges"[/b] Beezlebub replied clenching his fists anger building, though he calmed himself enough to answer the comment.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][b]"And oh how I'd love to kill her. I rather enjoy that feeling, you know the one I'm talking about. The feeling when you have complete control over someones life, its as if it where an egg in your grasp, waiting to be crushed. A puppet at your will, not to mention the wonderous color of heart blood, yes I would enjoy it very much"[/b] Beezlebub stopped for a moment his eyes bearing heavily on the man infront of him [b]"If I were to kill her, who is to say that I couldn't tip the balance in hells favor. This would be your balance, kill who ever needs die, but one thing is for sure.............she must die."[/b][/color][/size] [b][size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size][/b] [size=1][color=green]OOC: I hope that is ok Kairi, same goes to you DC, correct me if I made and wrong references to the balance.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]Lune hung back in a corner surrounded by darkness. His body blended quite naturally into the shadow, all but his silver tuft of hair and blue eye. That part of his face openly bore the scars of the experementation he endured. He shifted his eyes between all the people in the basement, concentrating on three that bore a strange glow to thier eyes. "[b]I've seen of them before, one is Garrek Flynt, I think I trained with him, though its been so long, one I've seen though his name I can"t remember, but the last I know, it has been awhile Narote"[/b] Lune thought from the shadows. [b]"I wonder if any of you will recognize me, though I am but a shadow of the person you knew"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"So will there be any more unexpected visitors"[/b] Lune spoke betraying the silence of the shadows.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"There are a few others, though whether you will meet them here, or later is not for us to say"[/b] Yazoo turned and faced Lune.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Lune slowly left his corner and began to make his way out of the lab. He recieved some rather odd looks though it was something he was accustomed to, it had been that way since he regained his freedom in the world.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Where are you going"[/b] Loz yelled as Lune was about to leave the room.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"To gather supplies, I will return here shortly, or shall we meet up at the city gate?"[/b] Lune replied rather coldly before walking out [b]"The towns not that big, so I will find the group"[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]He stepped outside the mansion greeted by cold crisp mountain air. This city, this place, he had not been to it since that day, is should be ash but it stood, unchanged exactally the same. In his eyes the city was more of an abomination than he was.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred]Shakespeare anyone?[/color] [color=darkred]"To be or not to be that is the question, whether 'tis noble in the mind to suffer the bumps and bruises of a thousand punches, or to turn and face a sea of anger, and by whining end them"[/color] [color=darkred]I'm rather proud of myself on this one lol, I dont know why either.[/color]

[size=1][color=darkred][b]Name:[/b] Abel Lunier [b]Apparent Age:[/b] 26 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]Weapons:[/b] The Guns in the pic, as well as two khukri fighting daggers (see attachment 1) one slightly back on each hip. He utilizes these with ease being ambidextrious, occasionally throwing them with deadly accuracy. His final weapon is one he rairly uses, a rapier he calls Requiem(see attachment 2). The sword is saved for opponents who bear a sword as well or a last resort. [/color] [/size][size=1][color=darkred][b]Personality:[/b] Although Abel may look and talk normal, he still bears many ways of the past. He is normally kind, polite but playful at the same time. He often tends to zone out and daydream, or think. Abel is serious when it comes to business, and his unyeilding determination helps in this greatly. Respect is something he values highly, and is part of the reason he will only use his sword when fighting another with a sword, someone who lives by the sword deserves to die by it. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]Appearance:[/b] [/color][url="http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20461"][color=darkred]Here[/color][/url][color=darkred], he wears a white trenchcoat over the garb displayed. He stands at about 6'3" and weighs about 205 lbs. He seems rather skinny, but he has well toned, dense muscle from years of combat. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]Bio:[/b] Born into Noble blood, it seemed that Abel's destiny had been chosen for him. Though his status allowed him to be educated intellectually as well as in swordsmanship, both of which he craved. He loved the thrill of battle, as well as the worth of knowledge, knowing both would serve him greatly. Abel became a Knight following a line of tradition in his family, though before he could celebrate, or even breath he found himself amongst the Crusades. He was one of the few that left the failed conquest unscathed, bearing a new understanding of war, one that experience can only teach. It was apon his return when he was recruited to be a Guardian. The prospect of defending good from evil, and the knowledge he could attain was to much of an opportunity.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]Character Snippet:[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]I can relate, I struggle with depression and it really goes into overdrive it highschool. I will sleep most of the day if it goes unchecked, luckly I am on meds for it, as well as one to wake me up. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Anyways last year before I was back on my meds, I went through a stage that when I was at school, which was seldom I would go from being extremly happy to then about ready to have a nervous breakdown. I would actually cry at night whenever I thought about sad stuff, or events in my life. Just know that its ok, me personally I think its perfectally fine to cry, even if it can be embarrasing. Also if you need to talk to someone, even if your thoughts are jumbled it will help clear them I think.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]I personally dislike the law of curfew. I also live in Utah(Orem/Provo area) like indifference and SunfallE and if your under 16 your curfew is 11pm no matter what. If you are between 16 and 17 its 11pm except for friday and saturday nights then it is 1pm. I have gotten one curfew ticket, I was charged another time but I was able to get it dismissed. I just think that it is I think over-exaggerated here (goes along with some of my views and opinions for being here.)[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]I fully understand that most crimes do happen at night, but still at least in Utah we dont have that many major crimes such as shootings. I am a night owl so to say. I love the night, and I prefer it over the day. I personally just think it is wrong to punish someone when all they are guilty of is being out late. If they are doing something wrong thats a different story, it just seems like to me that they are saying well we don't really have anything on you but we are going to give you a ticket anyways just for being out late.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Also it is a rather hard law to enforce, because how do you demonstrate reasonable cause if an officer things someone underage out late. He cant prove how old the person is unless he stops them to ask, and that could be accounted as harassment. Most of the time the curfew law isn't enforced until another law is broken. Like the incident SunfallE described technically the loud music could be accounted as disturbing the peace. The law just has alot of holes.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]Shin let out a long escape of laughter joining the other man at the cup soared across the room. The tea man got up and left though not before commenting on the "trick" as he called it.[/color][/size] [color=darkred][size=1][b]"I'll give you the benefit of being drunk"[/b] Shin said taking a long draught from his sake.[/size][/color] [color=darkred][size=1][b]"Ok, maybe I'm alittle buzzed"[/b] She laughed[b] "But what does he know about being lady like................." [/b]Namiko added though the last little bit was inaudible.[/size][/color] [color=darkred][size=1][b]"He was rather confident, an intresting person though, maybe our paths will cross again"[/b] Shin noted to watching him leave the restraunt, before turning back to the woman.[/size][/color] [color=darkred][size=1][b]"Or maybe your blades, ya never know"[/b] Namiko replied, glancing at his swords again.[/size][/color] [color=darkred][size=1][b]"Probably not with these, these are more for public, though I am skilled with them as well as many other weapons"[/b] Shin stated feeling the two kame that lay under his kimono, as he finished his squid bowl.[/size][/color] [color=darkred][size=1][b]"Who's confident now, eh"[/b] She said giving him a chalenging glance.[/size][/color] [size=1][color=darkred]Shin quickly grabbed a chopstick from the empty bowl in front of him [b]"Maybe this would reveal to much but why not[/b]" He smirked as he threw the chopstick in air. The air of the restraunt seemed to move sluggishly as Shin reached into his kimono, drawing a kunoi and releasing it. The weapon wizzed through the air hitting the chopstick slicing them in two before inbedding itself into a wall. The pieces from the stick fell landing on Namiko's head, as Shin began a fit of laughter.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]Shin's eyes adjusted to the dim lighting of the restraunt. The smell of the warm dishes being served made his stomach growl in anticipation. Instictivly he glanced about the room, making mental notes of escape routes, people, weapons, along with situations that might arise. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]As he surveyed the room his eyes came to rest apon a blade, [b]"Hmmm, a Butterfly Katana, few are able to wield on, it is rather rare to see them, wielded by a woman no less, though I'm sure she is probably more capable then most men by the looks of things"[/b] Shin thought as he noticed her finish off her sake. He casually began making his way towards her table seeing all others where taken, and he was rather curious about this woman.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Hey............Do you mind if I join you? All the tables are full"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"You can have the table, I was about to leave anyways"[/b] She answered setting her chopsticks down.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Swiftly Shin knelt on the opposite side of the table as the waitress came over ready to take his order.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"A squid bowl and some sake"[/b] He ordered to the waitress as the female warrior reached for her blade.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Wait, please allow me to buy you a drink, or a meal for sharing your table with me"[/b][/color][/size] [font=Verdana][size=2][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2]OOC: I hope thats ok Katana, let me know if I need to change anything[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2]P.S. sorry its kinda short[/size][/font]

[size=1][color=darkred]Fayt quietly yawned, it was nice to be able to sit and chat with the people that he would be traveling with. The people that would have his back, the people he hoped he could call friends. His fatigued body longed for sleep, but he wished to learn more about the group. [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred]Fayt flitted back and forth between conversations with Cira, Noah, and occasionally a word or two with Kain. Their topics ranged back and forth between the taskes they had recieved, their experiences from the desert, to what Yuri had in store for them next.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"So any ideas about what were are going to do tomorrow?"[/b] Cira asked bearing a lot of thoughtful expressions from the group before she added.[/color][/size][size=1][color=darkred][b]"Maybe a team training task"[/b] [/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Whatever he has in store, I'm sure it will be original"[/b] Noah said turning his gaze from Leonardo.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Well, I think I'm going to retire then, as much as I enjoy staying up late, I want to be prepared tomorrow"[/b] Fayt stood up and turned to Cira [b]"Would you care to join me? I could escort you to your room"[/b][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"Remember who beat who today"[/b] She winked at him.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkred][b]"I was trying to be polite, but if you put it that way, wanna escort me to mine"[/b] He grinned as some of the group began to laugh.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size] [size=1][color=#8b0000]OOC: I hope thats ok for you demonchild, I left it open so you could say yes or no.
