[color=teal][b]Question:[/b]What enemy from the original Legend of Zelda, one of the most annoying enemies in the entire game series, started off as an enemy you could eliminate, but on LttP, it keeps coming back no matter how many times you kill it?[/color]

[color=teal][b]Name:[/b]Keith "Blaze" Firebest [b]Age:[/b]25 [b]Description:[/b]Starts off in green tank top, blue jeans, and a blue jean jacket. He wears a cut-finger leather glove on his right hand. He has sunglasses hanging on his neck no matter what, even if he's in the blackest night ever. His eyes are black, his hair is brown. He's about 6' 5", lean, and well-muscled with tensile strength. He has loads of scars running like tiger stripes down his left arm. [b]Personality:[/b]Kind, generous, brave, yet shy. At twenty-five, he has yet to have a relationship that will last over a year. He also spends much of his time fighting to keep himself sane. [b]History:[/b]At the age of twelve, Keith lost someone very important to him and vowed never to let anyone be hurt in the same way again. As he grew older, he fell in love with a young woman and lost his innocence at the age of fourteen to a girl he thought he could trust. He was shattered in February of the following year. In an attempt to save a group of children from a fire in the hospital, his left arm was burned by superheated medical tools, leaving tiger-like stripes down his left arm at the age of seventeen. Showing an exceptional intellect, he graduated high school and got a degree before he turned twenty-three, having wasted no time in going to college. The following year, he gained a job on the police force. He holds part-time jobs as a car mechanic, an architect's aide, and he spends his free time earning money in legal prize street fighting. Every weekend, he rides out to his cousin's ranch and helps with the horses. He earned his nickname during the hospital accident. [b]Vehicle:[/b]2001 Ford F-250 [b]Anything Else of Note:[/b]He wears a set of dogtags honoring his favorite video game character. He never fails to wear a blue jean jacket, and his eyes, due to pigmentation difficulties during his birth, change color when his emotions shift.[/color]

[color=teal]It was because their spirits were so pure, that was the form they took in the Dark World. Like Link's....*snorts* rabbit, and Roam's ability to go half-hawk, it was the powers of the Dark World. Am I right, Desbreko?[/color]

[color=teal]There are things people call paradoxes, or impossibilities with time travel. In OoT, there are many such paradoxes. Give at least one example of Link's time travel effects.[/color]

[color=teal]They're green, red, and blue. The green and blue carry swords, but the reds have three forms: bomb throwers, archers, and chargers. The chargers carry tridents, the "archers" throw them, and the bomb throwers...well....they throw bombs. Oh, and the chargers wear normal helmets, the bombers and archers wear helmets that make 'em look like a freakified Boba Fett. Am I right?[/color]

[color=teal][i]Etrigan stood, stopping his rampage. He sighed, shifting into his less threatening caped form.[/i] [b]Etrigan:[/b]A lesson learned, a lesson earned. This fight tonight, end not affright. [i]Spawn smiled beneath his mask, looking about in this new world of darkness. Etrigan's eyes followed Spawn's, even as a thug rushed up behind the freon-bleeding Iceman (insert Wing Commander reference here) and found himself Shish-kabobed on chains and fried by hellfire in a dual attack by Etrigan and Spawn.[/i] [b]Etrigan:[/b]It seemeth so you fight for good, powerful we are in destroying this hood. [b]Spawn:[/b]Could you try to stop that?[/color]

[color=teal]OOC:Outlaw, so you know, I doubt the Marvel characters would know the names of the DC characters. Spawn, I think, doesn't belong to any franchise that I know of, he was just made by MacFarlane. As for Etrigan's speech, he ALWAYS speaks in rhyme unless he's REALLY pissed about not getting food. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [i]Etrigan turned his claws upwards, moving them as fast as he possibly could, genertaing powerful bolts of electricity, hitting Iceman right in the chest.[/i] [b]Etrigan:[/b]Etiquette demands the partner must lead, but Etrigan's hands are unmatched for speed! [i]Iceman's body convulged as his solid-ice frame was surged with electricity, wracking upon himself just to stay alive. Superman began to recover, managing to stand, and Etrigan stopped frying iceman for the moment.[/i] [b]Etrigan:[/b]By the pain, by the death, your congealed wounds I shall refresh! [i]He touched Kal El's forehead, chanting a minor spell under his breath. Within moments, Superman was again ready to fight. Etrigan turned to face Spawn, whose cape glistened in the moonlight, the chains rattling against his shins. [/i] [b]Etrigan:[/b]The tides have turned, unholy man, you now face Demon Etrigan![/color]

[color=teal]I go by a bunch of names. Here they are: [b]Fox Hunter:[/b]Fox for cunning, Hunter for my unrelenting will. [b]Kitsune Ryooshi:[/b]Japanese for "Fox Hunter". [b]Blaze Ixion:[/b]Blaze for the fires in my eyes, Ixion for the Greek king tied to a flaming wheel. [b]Blaze Firenze:[/b]See above, Firenze for an old word for "pain". [b]Artemis Graves:[/b]Artemis for an old English noble, Graves for my deathly attitude when I'm depressed. [b]John Schock:[/b]John after the saint, Schock........I hate my last name. It's German. For what, I dunno.[/color]

[color=teal]Correct. Ask away.[/color]

[color=teal]No, no, no Ginny. What I mean is that in Zelda games, there is one EXTREMELY linear dungeon that will be Hell on your hearts. I don't mean give the individual dungeons, I mean give me the COMMON DUNGEON through the games. [b]Hint:[/b]It corresponds to an element and is most noticed in LttP and OoT, some will even say MM it was hardest. This excludes all "final" dungeons, meaning where the boss is located.[/color]

[color=teal][b]Name:[/b]Sekh Risfure [b]Alias:[/b]Smoke Zero (New Smoke) [b]Age:[/b]Twenty-three at the time transformation. [b]Height:[/b]6' 5" [b]Weight:[/b]235 lbs [b]Status:[/b]None yet [b]Alignment:[/b]Good [b]Fighting Styles:[/b] Jeet Kune Do Street Brawling Kung Fu [b]Weapon:[/b]Freeze-rifle, used more often as a club. [b]Bio:[/b]When Smoke's spirit was drained from his body, he was made into a servant of Shao Khan. However, since then, his robotic body regained it's soul, but also the ability to die. Smoke met his fate at the hands of the evil Shinnok, and his body was thrown to the waste piles of New York City's landfill. His body was found by Raiden and Fujin, who bore it with them to the site of the second, maskless Sub Zero's final battle. As the young, scarred man met his fate likewise, Raiden and Fujin spared Sekh's soul and placed it into a combination of his body and the body of his former best friend, granting the new fighter created the ability to control all of the Sub Zero powers as well as the cybernetic Smoke's powers. The new fighter created, Sekh Risfure, was named Smoke Zero. [b]Appearance:[/b]See attachment. [b]Personality:[/b]Calm, collected, and gentle. Often settles into a violent battle rage and becomes single-mindedly fixed on his opponent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC: Yoda, you failed to remember that there were two Sub-Zeroes! They were brothers! Remember UMK3 on the SNES? A maskless one with a scar over his eye, and the classic one were selectable side-by-side?Well, now the second one's part of me.[/color]

[color=teal]My dad....he just hates me. I mean it. He uses my younger siblings against me, he hits me for the smallest things, and as for my chores, they were done perfectly. My dad just dropped the dishes in vinegar and chicken grease as an excuse. But thanks. At least I know people HERE care about me. Thanks, guys...[/color]

[color=teal][b]Question:[/b]In the Zelda series, you must travel through dungeons to complete the game. What dungeon is classically the longest or hardest, if this can be said?[/color]

[color=teal]Today, I had a revelation: I am a failure. My father gave me a lecture about exactly how stupid I am because I failed to do the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, and room-cleaning wrong. Then, I received a lecture from my uncle about life over the phone because of my "authority" issue. On top of all of this, I got another lecture from my dad, who had to redo all of my chores even though he has pneumonia. A few days ago, I had an argument with the closest friend I have over the phone. My grades have been dropping. I took an eye screening on Friday and got news that my eyesight is way below par for a teenager, and I might need glasses or laser surgery. And the icing on the cake is that Jaimie, my girlfriend, left me. Now, I ask....what do I do? I'm not known for giving up on anything, so what do I do? Turn away from tradition and give up? Keep going, hoping I can live through this storm? Or just stand still, keeping things as bad as they are, not improving, but not getting worse? Or do I end it all.......what do I do?[/color]

[color=teal]It IS in the Lost Woods. In the area where you recieve the Noble Sword, I believe. You have to constantly change seasons with the rod so that you open the proper path to the next portal. To get to this area, I think you need the four polygonal treasures. (I was a jackass and bought the map in the shop's basement after I got all four.....) Am I right?[/color]

[color=teal]No, instead, they have sex with you and steal your soul. NO MORE SPAM! This is for sign-ups only. Sirven has asked for a spot as the ever-adorable Puck, by the way (It was his game I got the idea from, so it's a bit of a copyright sort of thing.). Anyhow, no more spam, please. I want this one to succeed.....unlike all of my other ones....[/color]

[color=teal]Everyone who was in the RPG is still alive, just kiund of out of it, and away from others.[/color]

[color=teal][i]They were too late. Sephiroth's army had already procured a new materia for him from the dead blood and tears of Cetra bodies, the CET-materia. Even Sephiroth knew not what it would do, but he certainly didn't expect what happened when he used it. A huge, powerful cry arose from the dying soldiers below, the airships were torn to scrap, and the party was thrown to the ground before they could attempt to stop Sephiroth's mad bis for power. The entire city seemed to dissolve, the party being lurched forward through time and space. Somehow, the party was seperated completely during the warp, though they all landed in the same world.... Blaze awoke, alone, amidst three women constantly changing sheets and making sure the guest was alright. One of them noticed the awakened dragoon and yelped, running out of the room.[/i] [b]Woman:[/b]King Edgar! King Edgar! The young man has awakened! Sir Locke! Miss Celes! [i]Two more guests rose from the same bed, next to Blaze's. Somehow, Blaze recognized the silver-haired man, and it hit him.[/i] [b]Blaze and Locke:[/b]Christ, it's me! [i]Blaze sighed, shaking his head. A monarch appeared, dressed iin blue and green. He noticed the stranger's wandering gaze and smiled.[/i] [b]Edgar:[/b]I am King Edgar, monarch of Figaro, the newly resurrected kingdom! To your right are Celes, a knight like no other, and Sir Locke, a well-made thie- er.....treasure hunter. [i]Blaze noticed that Edgar changed his words instantly when Locke growled and drew out a glowing blue blade, the word "Atma" inscribed on the hilt. Blaze hit introductions.[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]I am Blaze Feneris, dragoon and Cross Knight of the city of New Nibelheim on the Southern Continent of Ivalice. It is a pleasure to meet you all, but Figaro? I never knew such a kingdom existed. [b]Edgar:[/b]Nor I of New Nibelheim, but you come not from our time, I think. We saw, we Magi-Knights of the magicite, in our dreams the destruction of an entrie world, where an ivory-haired man summoned forth a huge monster that wrecked the entire planet, but also transported a party of resistors here with the man and a young woman. Many small balls of light were also seen, balls like this. [i]Edgar finished his tale and held out Blaze's magicite, whereas Blaze took the balls of magical matter and replaced them in his Gemspear. Suddenly, a man burst into the room, gasping for breath.[/i] [b]Man:[/b]Edgar! Thou know not what evils have transpired! The ivory-haired demon has revived the Empire! [b]Edgar:[/b]Cyan, you can't be telling the truth here! Kefka, Gestahl, all of them?!?! [b]Cyan:[/b]Yes! Somehow, he has shifted time on the Southern Continent to the point where everything is as it was before the world was torn apart! And I believe they plan on destroying the world yet again, though we have newly reformed it to it's old luster! [b]Locke:[/b]Great! Just great! Hm....this party of resistors we saw.....if we find your friends and bring you all back together.....and train you with some of our own techniques.......we might have an even better chance of winning this time. Okay! [b]Blaze:[/b]Do you people have chocobos? [i]The entire room seemed to cheer at the joke and all present began to prepare for a journey to Narshe.....[/i] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ People of the RPG, meet FF7 meets FF3......I always said these games had to crossover. Anyway, have fun![/color]

[color=teal][b]???[/b]They say the wolf's a skulking beast, who lives to steal another's feast. I say you're all cowards, just like the creature, and now in a museum shall you all be a feature! [i]All present turned towards the rhyming voice, wondering at it. Iceman turned just in time for a blast of hellfire to melt his ice, dropping him to the ground.[/i] [b]Spawn:[/b]What the Hell?!? [b]Etrigan:[/b]My home is what you have just named, for using it vainly you shall be maimed! [i]Etrigan stood, defending Superman's bloody form. He flexed his muscular frame, daring anyone else to come near...[/i][/color]

[color=teal]Ginny, you got two medallions' locations mixed up, but you're right. Oh, and Ether is ice, not lightning. We still need the FULL answer. Any takers?[/color]

[color=teal][b]Question:[/b]Link learns magical spells that are symbolized for use by a special item on the inventory screen in two games. What are these two games, what are the spells, and what items symbolize them? Where do you get the first of each item, if you begin collecting the items as soon as you can?[/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze grinned as he saw Cloud and the others preparing to attack. He hefted the Muramasa, willing it to transform into a Gemspear. As it shifted, he looked at Nanaki, who grinned back, and Dyne, who was reattaching a Hellfire-gauge shotgun to his arm. All three jumped down from the Excelion as it landed, right in front of the behemoth..... Nothing happened. Blaze shifted his spear to his back, walking up towards the giant shadow. It was no behemoth. It was another ancient, one that Blaze felt was familiar. The ghost looked up at him wistfully, extending her hand and touching Blaze's forehead....[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]Gyaaa! [b]Cloud:[/b]Blaze?!?! Who is she? [b]Blaze:[/b]My....my sister.... [i]The ancient vanished, leaving the party bathed in a mysterious light. Blaze stood, somewhat shakily, and looked towards New Midgar, over the sea. He hefted his spear again, twirling it ostsntatiously. He smiled grimly.[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]Get in the Highwind or the Excelion, whichever you choose. I pilot the Excelion. We attack Sephiroth once and for all![/color]

[color=teal]Oh, yes, I forgot. You must have an affiliation. I'll edit my post, Raiha, so you should too. You can be a member of the God's Hand, but I'll twist the plot to change things...[/color]

[color=ocean teal][center][b]Note:[/b] This RPG follows the events in the game "Sword of the Berserk: Gut's Rage" on the Sega Dreamcast. I include no in-depth mention of the anime series "Berserk" which explained the early parts of Gattsu's life because of the sheer length of time it would take to do so. I shall simply pick up with the game, merely explaining the blade and scar. Thank you.[/color][/center] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [color=crimson][i]Once upon a time, a legion of darkness, a cult, reigned fear over all. The God's Hand was the name of this cult. But there was another group, a group of bandits, feared even more than the dreaded God's Hand. These bandits, named the Hawks,trfa were the bane of all, led by the most fearsome presence, a woman named Casca. However, the God's Hand grew angry. They attacked Casca's bandits, killing all except Casca and her lover, a warrior named Gattsu. Gattsu saved Casca's life, but there was a price. Gattsu was caught as he fled, but he proved a challenge to Nosferatu Zoddo, a demon capable of shifting forms. Zoddo failed to destroy Gattsu, but managed to brand him with the God's Mark, a scar that acts as a tracking device for the God's Hand. It also imparts Gattsu with the Berserk Rage, a point of physical being in which Gattsu feels no pain and triples his own damaging capability. The scar also begins to change and bleed as the God's Hand grows near or when they perform a human sacrifice. Another price followed the escape of Gattsu and Casca. Casca was traumatized deeply, becoming unable to think, act, or speak rationally. Gattsu began searching for a cure with her and his ever-present elf-partner, Puck. Puck, a blue-haired, shape-shifting elf, follows Gattsu around, providing the warrior with healing spells, cannonballs, arrows, and grenades for his weaponry. Apart from his distance weapons, he carries a seven foot long, black sword known as the Dragonslayer, forged especially for Gattsu by Godo, the finest swordsmith in creation, who made the blade when Gattsu saved Godo's life. After searching for a long while, Gattsu, nicknamed Guts after his first impartion of the Berserk Rage by Puck, met a young member of a traveling cirsu, a girl named Rita. She and her friend Job, a strong man, took Guts, Casca, and Puck to a nearby city, ruled by Baron Balzac. Balzac appeared to be genuine in his hospotality to Guts after the brutal murder of Job, an unwitting carrier of the Madragora, but Balzac soon tried to kill Gattsu, who survived. Guts soon made a pilgrimage to a village past the far swamp for a man named Dunteth, whose daughter had also contracted the Mandragora. A discovery was made that this village had been the source of the disease, caused by a young boy who had died of hunger one day long ago and began to rot in the wrong way. His corpse became a living plant, the Mandragora. A maddened nun tried to save this plant, the Heart of the Mandragora, but Guts successfully killed the plant and brought it back to the city, hoping it would be a cure for Casca and Dunteth's daughter. But Dunteth and his family were found dead in the village, killed by Zoddo, who had returned for Guts. After meeting yet another defeat, Zoddo flew away and allowed Guts to find his way through the maze of streets that was the city. As he got into Balzac's palace, he found Balzac, maddened by the fate his youthful wife had suffered: the same thing Casca went through. Unable to speak, act, or think rationally. After killing Balzac, Guts moved deeper into the palace, finding a second Heart of the Mandragora. He destroyed the beast, more powerful than the last. Casca saw the fight and was caught in an explosion, caused by Guts' scar raging in pain. Casca's sanity returned, just long enough for her to kiss her lover goodbye and to whisper her final words. She died in Guts' arms. Guts then deciided to continue his journey in Casca's memory, fighting to protect. Soon, he and Puck found something suspicious in a locked-down city called Felsegrad, where the current story begins...[/i][/color] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center][center]Required Information[/center][center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [color=teal][b]Name:[/b]Gattsu Bladerage [b]Age:[/b]24 [b]Affiliation:[/b]Vigilante [b]Appearance:[/b]See attachment. [b]Bio:[/b]See above. [b]Weapons:[/b]Dragonslayer, throwing knives, hand cannon, hand crossbow, grenades, bare fists. [b]Special:[/b]A scar that provides him with a warning of danger, Berserk Rage, and unfathomable hatred for the God's Hand. Also, he has an ability to heal himself with Puck nearby.[/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze grinned as he took the controls of a new plane, the plans left by Cid a long while ago. It was said to be able to reach speeds rivaling those required to travel through space. It was called the "Excelion". As Blaze revved the open-topped airship, Nanaki and Dyne manning gun turrets in the fuselage, he took in the scent of the air of Corel one last time before hitching the ship off.....right towards New Midgar.[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]Let's kick this up! [i]Too soon did Blaze begin to hover over New midgar, prepared to jump down right into Sephiroth's office. He thought better of it, dropping down and beginning to strap his armor on. His fist closed around the gem given him by the healed body of a Gi Spector, and instantly his body, even his hair color, transformed.[/i] [b]Gem:[/b]Welcome, Dragoon, to your destiny.... [b]Blaze:[/b]I will not fail..... [i]He turned the Excelion around, heading for the City of the Ancients. An onboard tracker showed the highwind to be in that country. It was time to assault Sephiroth, once and for all.[/color][/i]
