Meggido

I have recently bought the movie ghost in the shell and absolutely loved. I was planning on getting SAC and the second film when it is released. I was wondering though whether SAC comes before or after the film?

Lucifer was alone again. She could think about her friend Azrael. It was Azrael who had helped her rally so many people to her cause. Her thoughts were interrupted by the door creaking open. Damien poked his head through the door and slowly made his way in. "Ah Lucifer. I have a slight problem," He stammered. "I lost Uriel." " You What?" Lucifer exclaimed. "Lost him. After leaving the council meeting he just took off. I tried to chase him down but he disappeared in the rain." "You know how rash he can be. You were supposed to remain with him at all times," She suddenly noticed that Damien was wearing a crucifix. She crossed the room, ripped the chain from his neck. She crushed the cross in her bare hands. "What have I told you about wearing Christian symbols?" She screeched." Now leave and find that idiot Uriel.

Lucifer sat in her seat at the head of the table. Azrael had been a true friend and now she was gone. Her life taken at the hands of some cursed angel. She would have her revenge on the angel that had stole her friends life. That was the real reason for Dumah's mission. A young fallen angel poked his head through the door. "Ah, My Lady. Your guest has arrived." Lucifer made her way down the hall from the main dinning room. She reached the door to see Mutuol and a human male entering the front door. "Mutuol, how wonderful to see you!" Mutuol turned to see Lucifier smiling and extending her arms. He took her hands and kissed her cheek softly. "Likewise, dear Lucifer. This is Z, my mortal companion," Mutuol gestured towards Z. "Quit calling me 'companion'. It sounds..wrong." "Haha, welcome to my home, Z. Please, make yourself at home," Lucifer grabbed his arm and walked down the hall. "Lucifer, Azrael-" "I know, Mutuol. I was informed this morning, sadly...Azrael.." her voice grew silent for a moment, "So, what of this infant?" "Oh, I guess I pitied the thing. I was hoping your ladies would give him some food and warm clothes?" "But of course, " Lucifer snatched the child from Z's protecting arms, "Oh, what a beautiful human. I have just the lady for him." "Lucifer, what are your plans of action? Have we heard any news on the 'key'?" "At the present time we don't know who Agoriad is or where they may be. I currently have Uriel and Damien out searching," She responded. As they walked the past a young lady, seemingly human as her wings were concealed. Z seemed to be caught breathless by her beauty. "Ah Mana. I would like you to take care of this child. Z here seems to be attached to it." "Yes my Lady," Mana replied. She exited to one of the rooms with Z's gaze still following her. The three of them continued on down the corridor. "I also have Dumah searching for the Angel's lair. If we can find it it will give us an advantage over them," Lucifer continued. "I also want revenge for Azrael's life. But onto other matters. With Azrael's unfortunate death there is now a place available on the council. I have been meaning to make you a member for a long time but you disappeared when the void opened. I am now asking whether you would join the council?"

OOC: check the last post on the signup thread for everyone's race. IC: Lucifer paced the room. It was obvious that she was unhappy. Her wings were unveiled and spread to full length. At the table in front of her sat the council of four. To the right of her were Dumah and Uriel, and to the left was Damien and an empty seat where Azrael should be seated. "This search has been going on to long," she fumed. "Can't you do anything right. Agoriad has been out in the open for twenty-two years and no one has yet found it. As you may have noticed Azrael is not here. I was hoping that she would have better luck than you three." As she paced she didn't notice that Damien was twirling a crucifix in front of his face. If she had she would have gone off like a rocket. At the moment she was a lose cannon and Damien infatuation with Christian symbols always angered her. Suddenly the door the room opened and a fallen angel in disheveled clothing came stumbling in. She collapsed on the floor, her injuries would obviously kill her. Lucifer moved towards the girl. "My lady," The girl whispered, "Azrael is dead." "What, how did this happen," Lucifer asked, a panic slowly coming over her. "We were ambushed my Lady," the girl replied. "It was the angels." With that the girl passed out. Lucifer returned to her spot at the head of the table. Her head resting in her hands. This was not good how could the angels kill Azrael she was the best warrior they had. She looked up. The other three members of the council were starring directly at her. "Hmm. Uriel. I want you and Damien to continue the search for the key, working together. It will be safer for you to work as a team. With this unfortunate loss we will have to be even more careful. You may go." As the three began to leave Lucifer added more to what she was saying. "Oh Dumah. Stay behind, I have an imporatant mission for you." When they were alone she explained the mission. "Dumah I want you to discover the location of the Angel's base. If you get a chance kill Gabriel but getting that information back is your top priority."

Ok applications for this RPG are now closed. Just so it's easier for everyone to know who people are this last post has got a list of people, their character name and their race. Fallen Angels: Meggido - Lucifer Unborn Lord Xion - Dumah Annie - Mutuol Blayze - Uriel Angel - Damien Angels: Sweetreyes - Gabriel Methuselah - Muriel Jim_Hawking - Tabris Sword Breaker - Marcus Gunifort KairiKIce2 - Alexander (here because powers suggest angel rather than human) Human: Nouvoxetere - Heaven Leigh Gell (Agoriad) Silpheed Pilot - Z SakuroMinimino - Kotoku Minaru Ok look for the RPG in Adventure Square. It might be a short while befor I have time to post it up.

First off sweetreyes has the role of Gabriel. Second off I would like to say that applications for positions of angels are now closed. AT this stage they out number the other two two to one. I just want to even out the numbers. I will be starting this RPG soon but there are a couple of people that I want to see if they sign up.

Australia never got the first two games in the front mission series and only just got Front Mission 3. I had to download the first and loved it so much that I downloaded the second even though it was in Japanese. The second was unusual as it was more of a platformer rather than a strategy. The third almost didn't get a release in Australia and because of that I've had to borrow it from a friend. I don't really like the storyline because it takes to long to unfurl. I do on the other hand love the gameplay and the FMVs. I'm just hoping that the fourth does get released in Aus.

I finally finished this game. I would have to agree with most of what everyone else has said. The last boss is easy. The second last boss was more difficult and actually took some effort to beat. I had to use a number of life bottles. ANy way the annoying thing for me is trying to learn some of the magic moves on Kratos and Zelos because appart from heal that don't use them theirselves.

At this stage the role of "The Key" has been taken by Neuvoxetere. I still need someone to play the role of Gabriel. Again PM me if you want it. As seems to be the case with people's signups it will now be that those who are an angel or fallen angel can have special powers. SO as to not over do this I will limit the amount of powers to three. Lucifer's powers: Meggido - summons a giant flame to consume her enemy and anyone in a ten metre radius. Anthracise - Only works on humans, but summons a flame that consumes the victim from the inside out leaving only a dusty husk. Fires of Hell - Creates a large wall of fire that ranges in distance between 100m and 1Km distance. Those caught in the flame desintigrate and their souls are sent to the dark reaches of Hell. Edit: Once I get someone who wants to play the role of Gabriel I will be able to start this RPG.

[SIZE=2][CENTER][COLOR=DarkRed]Fallen Angels[/COLOR][/CENTER][/SIZE] OOC: sorry about the previous try but this time I've included a rating [COLOR=DarkRed]Background [/COLOR] God's creations were always perfect but none more so than the angels. The angels were God's most precious and cared for creatures up until he created man. Man was near as perfect as the angels except for minor imperfections that God spent all of his time ironing out. Some of the angels were unconcerned about God's lack of attention. Others became jealous. God had made the angels so perfect that in some aspects they were even more powerful than Him. As long as He had kept his attention on them they never saw fit to turn against Him. With God's attention away from home, those who became jealous decided to take matters into their own hands. Lead by God's Left hand, Lucifer, a group spawned that began to secretly plan a coup in Heaven. It was not long though before God looked back on Heaven and when He discovered these plans, He banished all those that were involved. These became known as the fallen angels. The cast outs, plus others who decided to side with them, modified their appearance so as not to be mistaken for those who had remained faithful. Lucifer declared war on Heaven and the two opposing forces met in the district between their regions. Lucifer lead the army of Fallen angels and Gabriel lead God's forces. As the two forces met a vortex opened in the middle of the battlefield and numerous angels from both sides were sucked in and scattered around Earth including Lucifer and Gabriel. From that day many strange occurances on Earth can be led back the two forces. The myth of Dracula was in fact brought on by the appearance of a clumsy fallen angel. That Fallen angel was killed at the hand of Gabriel. As the centuries progressed, news came to both sides that a human may infact be the key to return to Heaven. Their began a worldwide search for this one Human. The Salem witch hunts were not instituted by the Church but rather by the Fallen angels in their search for "The Key". The year 2005 and it is believed that "The Key" may have finally reappeared. Both sides have begun a long and frantic search in hope to return to Heaven. The difference being the objectives of the two forces. Lucifer knows that if she can get to Heaven she will be able to finally take control. Gabriel on the other hand wants to reach Heaven and protect God. [COLOR=DarkRed]Character profile[/COLOR] Name: Race: (Human, Angel or Fallen angel) Sex: (Male or Female). Age: (Human between 16 and 26, Angels and Fallen angels do not need an exact age). Appearance: (description or picture) Preferred weapon: (For angels and fallen angels must be medieval weaponry. Lucifer uses a sword called Apocalypse and Gabriel has a sword known as Judgement. Humans can use modern weaponry.) Background: (a description of why your character sided with the side that they did if angel or fallen angel. If Human just a description of their life and how they got involved.) Well that's the process. If you want to be either Gabriel or "The Key" PM me your profile and I'll make my descision. [COLOR=DarkRed]My Profile[/COLOR] Name: Lucifer Race: Fallen angel Sex: Female Age: Unknown Appearance: see attachment. Preferred weapon: Swords - Apocalypse Background: Lucifer was once God's left hand but when he turned to man she was one of the first to turn away. She was also the first to change her appearnce when the fallen angels were cast out. As she had once been one of the Trinity she was accepted as the leader of the Fallen Angels with little effort. Little is known about her encounters after being dropped on Earth. It is known that she spent the early stage of her time on Earth searching for her comrades and that it was her who started the Salem witch hunts. After that event though she seemed to disappear from existance until now.

I saw the movie the day before it was released here and I enjoyed it. I must say that it conatins a lot of that good old Jerry Bruckheimer humour. I thought it was good.

I just finished this yesterday. Scenes change depending on which character has the highest affection rating with Lloyd. One of these scenes is in Flanoir when Lloyd spends the night. I had a scene between Lloyd and Colette in Flanoir but I have seen pics of a scene between Lloyd and Raine. One of the things I was wondering is that does this game come before or after Tales of Phantasia? I know I have read somewhere that it is related to that game and the use of the Ymir forest and Heimdall proves that.

Of the music by HIM, i have only heard Join me in Death(I think it's called that) on the Resident Evil Apocalypse soundtrack. If their music all sounds like that song then it's not that bad. I quite like that one song.

If the storyline isn't darker and they don't allow people to catch all the pokemon that have been created then it's not quite worth getting. The thing I would like to see though is the combination of the four worlds they have created over the games, Johto, Kanto and the new ones from the GBA and GCN games. I can't remember what they're called plus one extra area. That would create more depth to the game. I'm kinda waiting for Emerald as I skipped out on Ruby and Sapphire. Wasn't there already a version entitled Diamond which was the third in the Kanto set on GBC?

Well because this thread is likely to continue to go nowhere and just repeat the same thing over and over. I'll say thankyou to all those people who have recommended Gothic bands. I'll try and listen to the ones that are available in Australia.

I don't really think it is possible to compare both games. Though one is set after the other they are two completely different games. It is difficult to make any descisive points when it comes to comparing them. If I had to make a choice it would be that ffX. I believe that X-2 was something that they threw together to tie up the loose ends about what happened to Tidus at the end of X. This is because none of the previous FF game had and loose ends. It was clear what happened to all characters.

[quote name='Dark Serena][size=1][color=royalblue']It should be on the Gamecube, lol. I think it's also for PS2 in Japan.[/quote] Yeah it is on gamecube. Anyway I just finished disc 1 and my highest levelled character is 55 and my lowest is 53. I want to know if this was about what other people were on because it seems a bit high to me.

OOC: First thing make sure you have what you're basing the RPG on correct. This is based on Secret Of Mana 2 which was also called Seiken Densetsu 3 in Japan. Secondly I'm glad someone else has decided to do as I started it but got pissed at the forum and didn't get started. Name: Kevin Age: 15 Class: Grappler Tech: Ashura Dream Fist Weapon: Fists Homeland: Beast Kingdom Appearance: see attachment Personality: The son of the lord of the Beast Kingdom. He is half man half beast. Though he is physically mature he is a kid at heart. Kevin wants to live up to his place as the next in line for the Beast Kingdom Throne But he still wants to be the kid that he is. Brief Biography: Kevin was born in the beast 16 years ago. His mother is either dead or wandering the forest and his father is the leader of the Beastmen. Kevin is the heir for the beast kingdom throne but everything he does is never good enough for his father. His father views him as weak. One day in his sixteenth year Kevin is sleeping in the woods that surround Beast Kingdom with his best friend since childhood, a wolf pup named Karl. When they are returning to the castle, Karl suddenly transforms into a Bound Wolf and attacks Kevin. He has no chance of surviving this fierce attack, and is soon defeated by the wolf. At the brink of his total defeat, Kevin manages to make use of his beastman legacy, and transforms into a fierce werewolf for the first time in his life. With this newly gained strength Kevin easily wins Karl, who transforms back into the tiny wolf pup he really was. When Kevin is transformed back into his half-human/half-beastman form, he realizes what he just did and goes to bury Karl to the place in the forest where his quest begins. Kevin returns to the Beast King's castle feeling sorrow for what he's just done. He finds out that beastmen are preparing an invasion to Wendel, lead by Lugar. After that Kevin hears a discussion between Beast King and Deathjester that reveals the reason of Karl's sudden attack. Deathjester had used his dark magic to transform Karl by the order of Beast King, who wanted to give Kevin the possibility of using his gift of lycanthropy. Beast King is satisfied with Deatjester work and tells him to leave, but he follows the king instead. Kevin gets angry about this, and rushes to the two through a castle wall. Kevin tries to attack his own father, Beast King, but fails miserably. King responds to this act of violence by hitting Kevin so hard that he actually flies out of the castle, thus driving Kevin away from there. Kevin wanders around the forest, and again runs into Deathjester. The vile man denies his guilt on the actions, and blames Beast King. He then tells Kevin to go to Wendel, the city where Priest of Light resides. Deathjester ensures that Priest of Light could revive Karl, and Kevin starts his journey there.

I'm probably not one to give suggestions about how to go about things with a girl, but my suggestion is pretty much the same as everyone else's. Take it slow. Don't rush things, but also don't take things too slow as she may lose interest in you. That's as far as my advice extends.

I loved the first game and I bet I'll love the second when it is released here. The Australian release date is 2nd of december and I would pick it up on that day if I hadn't already preordered Jak 3. Well I guess I'll have to pick it up a few weeks after the release like I did with the first.

[QUOTE=PiroMunkie][size=1]I could have sworn I at least touched on the difference, but the main way to find out is to just listen to it yourself. As I said, the Goth culture was a mellower offshoot of the punk movement back in the '60s and '70s. It originally had nothing to do with metal, at any rate. Seriously, just download some Bauhaus or Souxsie and the Banshees, listen to it, and then download some Nile or any of the other bands people have generally been mentioning. There is a vast difference. The term "goth" can really be applied to any kind of music. Like "Goth metal" can easily exist. You just have to remember that if it really is "Goth," then the bands and music must reflect the values and general way of being of that culture. So, in theory, some of the bands others are listing could be considered "Goth," but generally there is a mass misconception of the culture, and so the title is usually applied where it should not be.[/size][/QUOTE] The problem with today's society is that there always seems to be a mass misconception of some kind. Now it is understandable how in can appear in music as a band might sound like one style of music but are really from another genre. It also happens when people are classifying people. someone might be dressed in punk style clothes but because the colour is all black they might be mistaken for being gothic. It seems to happen all the time.

[quote name='GTK']personally, I liked it. I have a friend who's really into Final Fantasy and he loved it (and got me into it). However, I have another friend who likes the FF series just as much and he hated it. I guess it sort of depends what you like in anime. What makes most people dislike it seems to be the two children as main characters, Ai and Yuu.[/quote] It's not so much that the main characters are children but more so the way they are acted and played out. I for a fact found some of the jokes repetitive i.e. Chobi pulling Ai by the hair. The first couple of times were funny but then it got old. I still love the series though.

[quote name='Inuyasha7271']By looking at this thread I have learned alot of new things about Goth music and some bands, but one thing no one has explained is the diffrence between Gothic Music, Black Metal, Death Metal, and isn't Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne considered one of those.[/quote] I don't know about the exact definitions for the groupings and I'm not sure where Black Sabbath would be classified, But I remember hearing that Ozzy Osbourne is classified as Black Metal. I hope that helps.

I downloaded the game as you can't get SNES games in Aus any more and ChronoTrigger was never released. I'm playing through for the third time but mind you I've never been able to defeat Lavos. My favourite character would have to be Magus.

I just picked up my copy of Tales. It was finally released in Australia and if the amount of imports has any reflection on the way the game will sell here it will be massive.
