Pralle had tried to resist the guards as he had been taken from his cell. He hadn't seen any of the others since they had been brought to the castle. He had had his scyth taken away from him and he wasn't sure why but he almost felt naked without it. He had been talking to his other self while he had been in the cell. [COLOR=Blue]"So you said you were a part of me right?"[/COLOR] He had asked, [COLOR=Blue]"So what should I call you?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]"Yes I am part of you. The thing is I'm not a separate part of you so I am still Pralle."[/COLOR] It had replied. [COLOR=Blue]"But what should I call you?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]"I am Pralle just like you,"[/COLOR] the voice said with annoyance showing. This had pretty much continued until the guards had come and dragged him out of the cell. His other side had taken over at this point, struggling to free himself from the guards. They had dragged him from the cell to a small room. To make sure he wouldn't escape they tied him to the chair. After a while a man strolled through the door. "I see you caused the guards some trouble." The man said, "I'm General Yuri Rein. You are?" At first Pralle wasn't going to say anyhting but then the voice cut in, [COLOR=Red]"It can't hurt to tell him your name."[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]"I am Pralle Stein,"[/COLOR] he responded. "Your clothes are different to those of this place, but they are also different to the other people who were brought in with you. Can you tell me why?" Yuri asked. [COLOR=Blue]"I don't know why. Apart from my name I can't remember anything about me."[/COLOR] "I know you are hiding something. Tell me." [COLOR=Blue]"I said I can't remember anything," [/COLOR] Pralle said, his voice beginning to tremble slightly. "Tell me. I will get it out of you." Yuri yelled. Pralle's other side took over and in a deeper voice he said, [COLOR=Red]"I told you I can't remember, now leave me alone."[/COLOR] He suddenly blacked out. [I]He was walking through what appeared to be a forest. The path seemed to continue on for an age. The forest was beautiful. He knew he had seen it before but he couldn't recall where. It seemed familiar but also appeared foreign to him. He continued deeper into the forest, following a kind of path. AS he continued he suddenly came across a girl who appeared to be waiting for him. He wasn't able to make out her face. It seemed to be shaded by her hair. She like the forest seemed familiar. Her hair was blonde but in the sun it appeared almost as if it were gold. Her red dress perfectly fitted her slender body. Suddenly the ground began to tremble. He could just see her mouth which seemed to make a surprised shape. She began to run towards him. The ground began to open up beneath him. He was unsure of what to do. His hand reached out to hers as she reached the edge of the forming pit. Their fingers touched but they were unable to grab hold as he started to fall.[/I] When he woke up, Pralle was back in the small cell. [COLOR=Blue]"Any idea what that was or who she was?"[/COLOR] Pralle asked his other self. [COLOR=Red]"I wouldn't have a clue sorry. I have the same memory problem as you. But maybe she could hold the answers to our past and our loss of memory."[/COLOR] OOC: Hope that's alrite. Don't ask me where I'm going it's even a mystery to me.

OOC: eek. I better jump in quick. Name: Pralle Stein Age: 21 Gender: Male Appearance: See Attachments (yes that is a guy) Personality: Pralle shifts between personalities. He seems to have a split personality. At times he can be open and friendly. Other times he is cold and reserved. When he is fighting his cold side will always show. Any other time it is a mystery as to which he will shift into. Your Time: Unknown Reason for Accompanying Aron: To find his past and his original home Weapon: Scyth Bio: Pralle sat in an alley. Slightly shaded by the darkness that surrounded him. He had a large scyth lying across his lap. He tried to think of how he got there. Nothing came to him. He could only remember his name. He held is head in his hand. "Ya really think that's gonna work." A voice said in his head. "huh, who said that?" Pralle asked. "I'm you," The voice said. "What?" "I'm a different side of you," The voice said now using Pralle's voice. "ya really think you are gonna remember? I'm you and I don't remember." At that point a group seemed to walk past. One of them noticed him sitting in the alley. "Hey guys stop," the man said. He entered the alley. "Hey, are you from here or from Earth?" The man asked. Pralle thought about it. Trying to remember. He then spoke, "I'm not sure. I can't remember." "Well I'm Aron." The man said, "What's your name?" "Pralle," He replied slowly. "I'm trying to get home. Do you want to come with us? Maybe you can get your memories back." "Do it," The voice in Pralle's head said, "It can't hurt." "Ok, I'm in," Pralle said.

OOC: sorry still got assignments. three to go. Farel woke up and noticed that Taikaru wasn't in bed with him. He also noticed that he was spread across the whole bed. [I]Oops[/I], was the first thing that came to his mind. He heard the sound of running water being turned off in the bathroom. He sat on the edge of the bed. Soon Taikaru came out dressed in her new style. "Sorry about last night," He said. "You should have just woken me up." "Don't worry about it," She replied. He looked at her from his position. "Are you okay? You look pale." He asked. "Yeah I'm fine" "Come here," he said patting his knee. She walked over to him and sat on his lap. "I like the new look." He said. "Thanks," she replied blushing slightly. "You know there is something I've been meaning to do for a while," He said. "What," She replied. "This," He said as he leaned over and kissed her passionately. He stopped and looked at her. She was surprised but he could also see a smile forming at the side of her mouth. OOC: I'll let you take it from here Kiba. I'm assuming that because Farel seems to be Taikaru's first love that this is also her first kiss.

OOC: Jumping on this role again. Name: Zidane Age:18(according to game) Personality: Zidane is a playful, mischievous person who ended up saving his world after being sent on a mission to "kidnap" princess Garnet(Dagger). HE is very much an extravert trying to get to know everyone around him. Apperance:see attachement Weapon: Twin daggers/or daggers joined for double sided blade

OOC: Sorry I've been away I've been busy with uni assignments. It'll be the same for the next few weeks, so here's a short post to keep me in it. Farel hugged Taikaru as she sat on the floor. She looked a bit uncomfortable but she didn't seem to mind. "Next time I'm carrying you," He said to her. This seemed to make her blush. Farel helped her stand up. "Thanks for helping her Alexia," He said. "Don't worry about it," was the reply. "Ok, some things need to be explained now." Farel began. " Like what happened to you guys. One moment you were taken by the enemy and then you are back here with a new member."

Farel was getting worried. It had been twenty minutes and he had heard nothing from Taikaru. He new she could take care of herself but he didn't want to lose her. He stood up from where he had been lying. He checked that the radio was on and to her frequency in case that was why he hadn't heard from her. It was fine he had set it right. He decided to go look for her. He exited the room. M's door was still open. It would probably be best if he informed M of where he was going so someone could look for him if he got lost. He poked his head around the door, there was no one inside. Farel pretty much jogged down the stairs. M was sitting at the table along with Jace, Eric and Andy. "Hey M." He called. "Yeah Farel." was the response. "Taikaru went out and I haven't heard anything from her. I'm gonna go look for her Ok" "Yeah sure just don't get lost." "Hey wait," Jace called but Farel was already out the door. He hurried out onto the street trying to work out which way Taikaru had gone. He headed right up the street looking down each intersection to check for any sign of her. OOC: Don't worry demonchild, we may get so frustrated they will kill off your character for you...jk. Anyway Kiba could you have Farel meet up with you somewhere within your next post...even if it's just at the end.

I think I was the only one who showed interest. I like Guilty Gear but I don't think it's a well known game. That could be the real problem and why your RPG didn't get up.

Interesting concept Kairi. The main question is how many people would really go ahead with it. I know I would and I reckon Reiku would as well. The question is how would people feel playing themselves? If you can get this started then I'm in. Also I'm probably one of the few people who have not changed there name...lol

OOC: Well since Kiba hasn't posted yet I'll start for both our characters. Farel and Taikaru were sitting under a tree in the facilities garden. They just wanted to relax and be together. They didn't need words silence was all they needed. Farel had his arm around Taikaru's shoulder. She was lying on his shoulder. The two of them had become closer over the two months but had decided to take it slow so Taikaru could work through her new emotions and get use to a relationship. The had spent a part of the two months searching for Taikaru's brother but with no luck so far. It seemed to be getting her down but Farel was always there to support her. He did love her. They sat quietly and stared out over the garden. M came out to the garden and spotted them sitting under the tree. He quickly walked over to them. "Hey. Thought I should warn you that we have a meeting soon," He said. "Ok thanks," Farel replied. M headed back to the building. Farel took removed his arm from Taikaru's shoulder. "Well I guess we should head back inside," He said. She just nodded. The two of them stood up and hand in hand, headed back into the facility. OOC: short but re-introduces the two. Also this event occurs before Kairi's last post. Thanks for forgetting me when you mentioned everyone Kairi. :(

HE is very much an extravert trying to get to know everyone around him. Apperance:see attachement Weapon: Twin daggers/or daggers joined for double sided blade

well I only recently got Soul Calibur 2 on GCN of course as it has Link and think it is a great game. Anyway if they do release a third it's disapointing that it's not on multiple systems as it means they won't be having special characters again. Is it just me or does that bottom left pic in the scan look like Lulu from FFX? If they are going to include one or more FF characters in soul Calibur 3 it would be awesome.

Well contrary of what I said in my signup I will be back at least for a little while. If I feel that the RPG is getting out of hand like the first one I will probably leave and this time in won't be temporarily I will Take Farel with me i.e. kill him off or have him just leave the project. Anyway I have to start the RPG I've been sitting on for two months at some stage.

Well here in Australia I would say put any anime on Free to Air tv. But anyway some shows I would like to see are: Kannaduki no Miko: this is a weird style story of love and good vs evil. It's also got the usual Mech battles predominant in Anime. It's only 12 episodes though. Beck: The story of a kid who gets involved in a band after saving the dog (Beck) of one of the band members. Only short recaps but I haven't seen the full series of these shows yet.

Name: Farel Sandivar (23) Gender: Male Home Planet: Mars Apperance: see attachment. The guy below but with daggers instead of a sword. Personality: Farel is the quiet, shy type but this is due to his haunting past which he does not want to revive. Though he is very reserved he does not like to be left alone. This also relates to his past. At times he can appear clingy but when it comes to action he is in there with no problems. When it comes to fighting, though he can use stealth, he is very reckless. Bio: Farel was born on Earth, but at the age of 12 he and his family moved to the colony on Mars. At the age of 18 he was accepted into the new space exploration program. As it was unknown of what was out there that could be encountered he was trained in all fields of weaponry though he prefers to use rocket launchers and the new AK37. As part of the program his genetics were modified so he could slip into the shadows if need be. Because of this new power he was moved from the sapce exploration program to the secret service. It was there that he met his fiance. When the attacks on the Earth began, Farel took no heed to them. It was on Earth and not his problem. When the problem came to Mars he was involuntarily involved. As the city was attacked he was able to slip into the shadows but his fiance was not. She was killed in front of his eyes. Farel acted on the world Presidents plee as soon as he heard about it. He looks for closure in any form it may come. Whether it be revenge or death he will find it. But what holds him back is his new found feeling of lonliness, and it scares him. During his recent adventures with Project:Heaven he has found himself. He is less wanting that Freedom from life that he once had. He is also trying to help Taikaru work through the emotions that are so new to her. Weaponary: Ranged Weaponry - specialises in the use of rocket launchers but mainly uses an advanced, silenced version of the AK-47 Melee weapon - twin Daggers Gift: Is able to blend in with his surroundings like a Chameleon Your Greatest Fear: Being alone OOC: I'm not sure yet whether I will rejoin. The first was good but it got a little out of hand in the end.

I'm going to be different again and name a game that was started when enix was a single company but finished when the two had become a joint company. Star Ocean 3. This would have to be one of my favourite games as it has everything an RPG needs. A deep and involving storyline. A unique battle system which you rarely see these days as most use the FF style system. A Unique levelling system and in this case a rediculously high level cap. It also has a lot of playability. It is an awesome game. Mind you I want to play Chrono Cross though it never got a PAL release.

What I said before about the merger I read from a gaming magazine which is usually quite reliable with it's information. The other reason that square won't be making a change to Xbox or Xbox2 is because they have a contract with sony that only allows the numbered games, i.e. X or XII, to be released on playstation systems or PC. That is why the GCN game was called crystal chronicles as it was the only way for them to get around the deal with Sony.

Farel thought that now was the time to talk to the group as a whole. While his mind was distracted with the important task of helping Taikaru with her emotions. He looked at her. She had a thoughtful look on her face. [I]What the hell,[/I] he thought to himself. "Guys there is something I need to tell you all." He began. Everyone looked at him. Taikaru knew what was coming as she had already heard his story. She put her hand in his to comfort him and it made it easier for him to reveal his pain. "Well as some of you already know I used to work as an agent in the Mars Secret Service." He began, "Now I kinda left it there saying that that was my reason for joining Project: Heaven, but that is not true. I actually left the secret service about for years ago for this person I had met while I was on a holiday to Earth. Know we were in love. We had even set a date to be wed. Now it happened just over a year ago. We were shopping for her wedding dress (and I was watching her in her full beauty) when Mars recieved their first attack from these creatures. My chameleon ability has a habit of acting eradic when I'm in trouble and I just blinked out. I saw her ripped to shreds." There was a slight pause as he held his feelings in. "That was why I joined the project. Kinda to avenge her. I saw her again while I was comatose."

Farel had left Taikaru sitting in the dining room to follow the new guy. He had moved into the shadows to play a little game. He needed to do something to get his mind off what had happened to him and the memories that had resurfaced. The new guy seemed bored or distracted. It was kinda hard to tell. It took Farel by surprise when Eric walked up to the new guy and started talking to him. It ruined his fun and so he gave up, heading for his room. He was lying on his bed having trouble getting to sleep. [I]It's no surprise,[/I] he thought, [I]I've just been sleeping two days straight.[/I] He just lay there thinking about the two people he cared for the most. Mai the one who had died on that day over a year ago. He had been able to see her again while in his comma. She had said that she would be watching over him. It was comforting to know that but she wished he could be with her. Secondly, and he wasn't able to deny it anymore, was Taikaru. He did care for her and was going to help her with her emotions. He kinda guessed that jealousy and anger weren't the only emotions she was having trouble with. But he would let her tell him in due time. He had told her his secrets but that wasn't so big as tomorrow he was going to tell the whole team, but she had confided in him over everyone else. He wasn't going to get sleep tonight. *The next day* Farel had decided to go for a walk in garden before breakfast. It was a bit late as he had finally gotten to sleep but had slept in. Everyone was bound to be up already. He had been walking around the gardens for about half an hour when he came across Taikaru sitting on the ground. He snuck up behind her quietly and placed his hand on her shoulder. She turned to look at him. "Hey," He said as he took as seat beside her. "What's wrong, you don't look so good?" OOC: Not finishing it as that's your job Kaiba but I've set it up for you.

Well you have the basis for the RPG in the couples going to the mansion and it being a vampire lair. From there you don't really need much else of what you described because it would control the descisions people make. You just really need to construct an intro storyline.

Name: Sirius Valhalla Age: 25 Creation: human Sex: Male Appearance: Looking at Siefer on the attachment. Personality: Sirius is kind of an angry person. After being cast back from heaven he is not to pleased with either side. He is rarely scared or disturbed by anything. He puts on a cool facade but inside he is hurting. Bio: Sirius was born in Australia but at the age of 15 moved to the states. He was well educated through life but through seeing the death of his mother he became emotionally scarred. This scarring came in the form of otherworldly visions. He was able to see demons of the otherside. At the age of 20 he took these sights seriously and used this to rid the world of these unwholesome creatrures. He became a demon hunter in the name of God. When the apocalypse came he was one of the third of humanity that was killed, but he was sent back. The only message he was given was that his job wasn't finished yet. He was pissed at Heaven for this but remained loyal to God. He now searches for the angels on Earth so that he can help them in their defence against the forces of Hell. Weapon: Uses an old fashioned Magnum gun. Also uses a semi-automatic for times when the Magnum doesn't shoot quick enough. Loyalty: God

?It is alright Taikaru.? He said comforting her. ?Farel I have another question.? ?Ask away.? He said in a quite voice. ?I herd a name. I think you know who they are.? ?Oh and who?s that?? ?Who is Mai?? Farel stepped back a bit and looked at her. What had he said when he was unconcious? He sighed and sat down. She took a seat beside him. He looked at her for a moment longer. "Well I guess there is no escaping this now. I was going to wait and tell everyone but you may as well be the first to hear it." He paused for the moment. "Earlier I had said that I had been part of the Mars secret service. Well I was not originally from Mars but moved there from Earth when I was very young. A few years back I was given some vacation time and I decided to visit the planet where I had been born. While on that vacation I met Mai. She was on vacation from Mars to and we instantly hit it off." "So why was it that you said her name while you were unconscious," Taikaru asked, curiosity getting the better of her. "Well we had been dating for about two years and we had finally set a date. We were to be married. We loved each other that much. Anyway we were getting her fitted in her wedding dress, when the creatures made their first attack on mars. Because sometimes my Chameleon ability acts erratic I suddenly blinked out." He suddenly became quiet as the memories hurt. Quietly he said, "I saw her ripped to shreds that day. I was alone. I just wanted her back. I sat there cradeling her limbless torso for hours until I was discovered by paramedics. I finally got to see her again while I was unconcious."

Final Fantasy was never and probably will never go to a Microsoft system. The reason square and Enix merged was they were both pissed off at Microsoft for trying to buy them, the way Rare was bought.

OOC: My best post ever. They sat together in a world between worlds. Half in light, half in shade. Farel had his arm close to Mai, holding her close to him.He never wanted to let go of her, though he knew he would have to leave soon. The two had been speaking for hours. More than a day had passed in the real world. Almost two since he had entered the coma. They had discussed everything, the year since she had died, philosophy, faith and other topics. Mai had been able to restore Farel's faith in God. He believed again and only through her wisdom. And finally they discussed Project:Heaven. Farel had covered his new friends and their experience in London. The encounters with the vampires and warewolves, though he left out his rescue of Taikaru. He was about to begin talking about the events of the recent mission when Mai broke in. "She does love you, you know." "WHo, Taikaru?' Farel replied in surprise. "Yes. She is new to the feelings and needs support. You're the only one that can help her," Mai continued. "But why me? Why have I been specially chosen? Why not Lee or Carl?" "They have their own tasks. This on ebelongs to you. She has singled you out. It began when you saved her in the lycan lair," Mai explained, "And you reaffirmed her trust when you put your life on the line for her." "You knew about that," Farel asked looking guiltily. "I know about a lot of things, my love. I am your guardian angel. It is my duty to watch over you and keep you safe." "But you are my only love," Farel began groping for excuses. "How can I have room in my heart for both of you?" "But you do have the space," she responded. "You saved her twice. The first even with the knowledge that you may meet your greatest fears. You have shown that you are beginning to love her. You just need to open yourself to the possibility." Again looking for an excuse, Farel said, "I couldn't allow what happened to you to happen again. I saved her so as to free myself of some of that guilt. I will never fully be free of it though." "You continue with the excuses Farel, but I know what is in your heart. That was my gift and why I was always joyous around you. I knew you always loved me even if you didn't speak it." She paused for a moment. "I want you to find that happiness that you had when I was alive. I want you to love again. Even if it means moving on my love." Farel finally conceded defeat. "You're right. I do have feelings for her, but not as strong as those for you." "In time those feelings will grow and develop," Mai said. "Yes, but what if I begin to forget you? I never want that to happen." "It will never happen," She reassured him. "Even if you don't know it, your memories of me will remain forever. But now I must go, our time is up." "I will always love you," He said as they embraced. "I know. And I will always be watching you." She finished, "Godbye my love, Goodbye Farel." "Goodbye Mai," he said as she began to walk back towards the light. Tears began to stream down his face again. He couldn't hold them back. He didn't want to. And now he was alone in the darkness again. Not as scared as he had once been, but instead patiently waiting. A voice began to become clear to him. "Wake up Farel. Please wake up," The voice said. At first he thought it was Mai again, but after some time it became clearer and he recongnised it as Taikaru's voice. ---Real world--- He opened his eyes to the world once again. He was in what appeared to be a hospital room. Taikaru was asleep with her head resting beside his chest. She was repeating the words in her sleep. Farel placed his hand on her head, being careful not to wake her, and ran it down her hair. She stopped speaking, as if that were enough to comfort her. Farel lay there, hand on Taikaru's back, staring at the ceiling when M enterd to check up on him. Farel put a finger to his lips to inform M not to wake Taikaru. M made his way quietly to the seat on Farel's other side. He sat down. "She must have come in here during the night," M whispered, "It is good to see you awake friend." "It's good to be awake. Where am I," Farel asked. "In the emergency ward back at HQ," was the response. " We are going to keep you here for a couple of days for observation." "How long has it been?" "Two days since you went into a coma. You had us all worried." And finally the last question on Farel's mind, "How is everyone?"

OOC: sounds like evryone is in trouble. "Mai," Farel repeated. It was all he could say. He was in a sense of shock, yet he was also in awe. A year had been too much for him to handle without her by his side. He hadn't even survived the first day without her without breaking down in tears. Her absence had left a hole in his heart, in his very soul. A hole that scared him but that he could keep at bay by surrounding himself with people. He found himself thinking that she had not changed in that year. That her beauty had not been desecrated as her body had been on that day. But then he remembered she was dead. It was her soul, her spirit that he was seeing. It then came to him that he had probably been killed by the viper as he had first suspected. "Mai, is it really you," he asked. "Yes Farel. It is I," she responded. "It has been a long time." Farel stood and ran towards her. When he reached her, he embraced her. They stood there, embracing each other for what Farel could only describe as a perfect moment. Tears began to roll down his face. "Do not cry, my love." Mai said to him. "I can't help it," was his reponse. "I have missed you so much and now I finally get to be with you again." "That may be true but it will only be for a short time." Farel starred at her. He was confused by what she had said. [I]A short time.[/I] But didn't they now have eternity together. He asked the only question that he could. "What do you mean? Am I not also dead?" "It is not yet your time," is all she said. "Not yet my time? You mean to say that I must to that chaos? But was it your time when those creatures attacked, when I was unable to save you?" Everyone's life is predetermined, Farel. The choices we make that lead to that fate is the only freedom we have. It will always end the same," Mai replied cryptically. "But..." he began but she continued. "My time had arrived. Though it was short, if I was able to relive it I would not change a thing. I loved , and still love you Farel, and that will never change." "So after this I will never see you again?" "We will meet again one day," She replied after a pause. "But enough of this sadness. We still have time together for now. Let us speak of joyous things." OOC: Now I'm getting Philosphical. Anyway I'll probably wake Farel up on my next post. If you want to finish the mission and head back to base it would work better for my story. I'm sure it would suit Blayzes character too.

My favourite Japanese songs include: Simple and clean. Inner Universe New World Emerald Green. Yes I know they are from animes and games but that's where I hear most of my japanese music.
