Talon

[color=green]Anyway, the RPG will start VERY soon! Members are as follows: [b]SS Trunks kool_aid13 Lauren Tsung Li Myself[/b] Let's do this![/color]

[color=teal]OOC:Damnit, Flynn, that was my FAVORITE CHAIR!!!! Grr.....I'll get you for this! Nobody trashes a chair I carved with my own bare e-hands! And I know that last line was cheesy! It comes from writing a post after watching "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" twice in a row! DAMN, I hate my dad's taste in movies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [i]Artemis grabbed his whip just as the creature began to meld and change, forming itself into an exact replica of himself. Artemis screamed as the doppelganger jumped onto him, rolling them both too quickly for anyone to realize who was Artemis and who was the doppelganger. Misty gasped, Henry swore, and everyone else just stood there, wondering who to attack.[/i][/color]

[color=silver][i]Xion awoke, remembering a black-and-crimson reploid saving his life. But that was impossible. Warlock was no longer allowed at Hunter HQ, at least, he thought so. He'd have to report it to Signas. And anyway, why would Warlock be here anyway? Why would he save a lowly prototype reploid? These questions raided Xion's mind as Dr. Karman walked in, pushing him down into the bed.[/i] [b]Dr. Karman:[/b]Oh no, you don't! And don't get any ideas about using that sword, AlarisX! Yes, I know your real name, Xion. Anyway, you have to stay in bed for two hours, then you have to see what you can do about getting Proteus back in bed. If his eyes aren't ready.... [b]Xion:[/b]Damnit.....always the same, isn't it? Ah well.....what happened with Zero? Where is he? [b]Dr. Karman:[/b]He's in the sims, beating the tenth level. he's starting to use his mind, now. That'll be Hell....whenever I insult him subliminally, he'll understand it, now! [i]Xion and his "mother", for Dr. Karman had activated him by accident with a mental plea for help when she had been threatened by Sigma's virus, enjoyed a good laugh. Signas was watching, as he always was, to see how he was getting along. He would do just fine as a replacement.....just fine....but who would he replace?[/i][/color] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:If anything is wrong with this post, tell me. Anyway, I edited my last post and I'll bring something up in the future about Xion's physiology.

[color=teal]his name is the same as yours. Yu name your file Link, he's Link. You name it GoroLink, his name is GoroLink, etc. etc. Though if you do it correctly, you'll get the reservation because of your name and when the goron walks in, Anju will ask his name. Now he says "goro" after everything, so he'll say his name is "'name'-goro", and there is nobody in the book named "'name'-goro". [b]Question:[/b]What item in Majora's Mask is needed only once, in the first three days?[/color]

OOC: Point taken Stormwing, and anyway, too many RPGs. Gotta get out. Everybody disregard my posts, as I see you have already done good enough jobs of doing that. I bid thee farewell, Blood Omen!

[i][color=royal blue]As Artemis broke the kiss, he realized that it was still the dead of night. He opened his sheets, revealing his bare body and allowing Misty to slide her lithe, bare form into his bed with him. As they held each other close, Artemis only had the fleeting sensation of the utmost pleasure of life....[/i] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [b]Henry:[/b]Did she finish you? Or bring you back to life? [b]Artemis:[/b]A gentleman does not talk of such things. [b]Henry:[/b]Oh-ho! I see, you little ankle-bite! [i]This conversation continued on through breakfast between Henry and Artemis as Misty sang beautifully in Artemis' room, smiling the whole time. If only they knew what evil lurked just inside the lake, awaiting them....[/i][/color]

[i][color=silver]As Signas went on giving Xion a good talking to, Xion was busy staring at Roll. Suddenly, a red Z-Buster came crashing down on Xion's back.[/i] [b]X:[/b]ALIA IS MINE!!! BACK OFF!!! [i]Xion got up, blood dripping from his shoulder-blade. Zero backed off, seeing the blood through Xion's armor.[/i] [b]X:[/b]What ARE you? A reploid? A human? What? [b]Xion:[/b]I am a prototype built by Dr. William Light to be activated in the time of greatest need. I awoke twenty-one years ago of my own accord. I am a human/reploid combinant, though I call myself a reploid. I have human tissue, human abilities of reproduction, emotions, but reploid powers. I also know what it's like not to have a home, to be stuck in the middle... [i]Zero shut up as he saw the despair in Xion's eyes. He, too, had felt that way when he'd first lost X. He sighed and moved on, leaving Xion to battle against level fifteen droids, programmed to be more powerful than three Kaiser Sigmas each. This time, Xion fought them because he didn't want to live. He recieved a heavy battering before Warlock jumped in, shutting down the droids. He watched the kid bleed for a while before hoisting him up, carrying him to the med-bay. Xion let some tears fall to the ground as he realized someone did care whether or not he died. he just hoped it wasn't because he had to fight. Warlock mumbled something about insanity as he entered the medical center...[/i][/color] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC: I edited it as far as I could, dude. As for the level things, the only reason Zero has trouble is he NEVER THINKS in battle when he fights in the sims. Level ten isn't that big a deal on PHYSICAL body, it's more focused on the mind. I should know, I own the comics. As for level fifteen, THAT'S a bunch of Sigma data combined with Zero and X data....THAT is impossible to beat! And as for my structure, the armor is just removeable, as I said. Well, there you go.

[color=silver][i]As Signas walked into his office, sighing meaningfully, he saw an odd thing. A human was holding his own against the 'droids! Impossible! Yet there was a human being wielding a longsword, fighting his way through the practice 'droids. And where was that new kid, the "prototype" that hadn't been revealed to him for somewhere around twenty years, that "Xion"? Suddenly, the kid in the courtyard pulled on his armor, showing himself to be Xion. Signas was impressed. Nobody except Proteus, Warlock, and Flash, not even Zero (who never thinks before he fights, thought Signas), had lasted against the level ten 'droids. Signas called the kid on his comm.[/i][/Color]

[color=royal blue]Logan sniffed the air, having stayed behind Gravitonne and the others. he turned and began to head for wherever that scent was coming from. That scent was familiar, even though it had been about two-thousand years since he ha last smelled it. the scent was that of a person he could love. He remembered Rogue, and remembered, of course, his wife, Selene Righta Wolvenis. He snapped back as he remembered his last name, Wolvenis. He smiled, then he saw Siren. The smell was strong near her. He wondered about her as he unsheathed his claws. It couldn't be her...it just couldn't be. He'd sworn not to fall in love again....but Siren....[/color] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:Sorry I'm late. Family problems.

[color=teal]Inded. Ityped sword instead of key. Dang game. Ah well. You are correct, Azazel. That means it is your question, unless desbreko finds a fault.[/color]

[color=teal]It's the sword, the shield, and a bomb. The bow and arrow, sadly, were not in Zelda II. But Desbreko, I may be wrong about the bomb. But if I am, it's your turn.[/color]

[color=teal]I agree with Desbreko. Best box art, and the game, from what I've heard, is the same as on the SNES. Maybe a few minor graphic changes, but that's about it. And Four-Swords MOde, i think, is just going through the adventure with three other people while trying to kill them, get more rupees, etc. etc. I'm not positive about this, though. If someone could tell me what it is, though, i'd appreciate it.[/color]

[color=silver][b]Name:[/b]AlarisX (called Xion) [b]Type:[/b]Reploid [b]Age:[/b]17 [b]Desription:[/b]Check the attachment. He looks exactly like Zero's future self, though his armor can be removed to make him look totally human. I'll post a pic of that later. [b]Bio:[/b]Designed to be a better model than Zero, instead he became somewhere along the lines of equally powerful to him, but more versatile. Rather than all of his ability being focused into fight power, he instead has brains, brawn, and a desire to help the public, but accomplish the mission. His sense of justice is rivaled only by that of MegaMan X, and his temper and patience have proven to be able to hold out in an argument with Roll, Signas, Douglas, and even Zero. [b]Weapons:[/b] [i]Close-[/i]Silver katana [i]Distance-[/i]A-buster: an arm-cannon that can fire charged particle beams rather than plasma. It can copy powers that involve the body rather than the plasmatic energy flow. It fires to types of shoots: Laser thread and cannon beam. [i]Defense-[/i]Darkarmor Well, that's it. See you later. By the way, the armor-less version of Xion is a MUCH more serious pic than the other one is. As a matter of fact...it's my avatar.[/color]

[color=crimson][i]Zero just stood there, his sabre throbbing in the air. He looked down and realized why Flash had walked out so damn fast. He slipped some jeans on, grumbling about the "good old days when a can of oil was all a Reploid needed". Greta, he thought to himself, I'm making myself feel really old. He walked out towards the gym as Ciel put some clothes on. Maybe she was why Flash had hesitated as he left....that thought just made Zero's sabre gleam more violently. Zero realized he was still carrying it, and he was glad that its power still focused from his own emotions. As he turned it off and began his one-thousand sit-ups, his thoughts drifted towards Sigma, X, and Flash. And that new one....the one that looked familiar, but from where, Zero couldn't place.[/i][/color]

[i][color=crimson]Before Siren could answer him, a stealth Sarufan archer had nocked an arrow to his bow, aimed it, and loosed it. Artemis now had an arrow lodged in his chest, barely missing his heart, blood dripping down his stomach and arm. Siren screamed, trying to help Artemis stand as three more Sarufan trudged from the shadows.[/i] [b]Archer[/b]There 'e is! Let's get 'im and save the girl!!! [b]Fighter:[/b]I'll chop his head off, you two handle calming her down! [b]Priest:[/b]Indeed. She has nearly become one of Satan's children, we must comfort her. [i]Siren smiled as she realized that the Sarufan thought she was a maiden about to be bitten by Artemis. She stood, throwing her arms around the priest....but not to thank him. The priest was drained of blood before he knew what was happening. As he fell to the ground, his neck split wide open, his eyes exploding from the pressure-loss, Artemis rose, katana in his hand and arrow in his chest, to meet the warrior sword-to-sword. The Sarufan let his blade fly in an arc that would have cut steel to ribbons, and Artemis let his katana fly. The broadsword of the Sarufan was cleft in two in a bright flash of white light. The archer fired an arrow at Artemis, who merely picked up the warrior and moved him in front of the arrow, killing him. Siren then smiled and clawed open the archer's neck, letting his blood fall to the ground, wasted. She moved over to Artemis, who sat down next to the tree, leaning against it. She began to drink his blood from the wound, coaxing him into a healing sleep as he whispered to his old friend Nazareth, miles away.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b][i]Old friend, it is I, Artemis. Today is a fine day.....Siren drinks my blood tonight, though. Heh....I had a rich man and his daughter for supper, though. My friend....come back to your hometown. I have gifts for you on our quest.[/i][/color]

[color=teal]They are made from the stomach of a Dodongo. My turn. What are the only three consistent weapons in the Legend of Zelda series aside from the sword?[/color]

[color=crimson]Aww, chill out Arikel. You just gotta calm down and do the voodoo that only yoodoo! Urgh...sorry about that. I live in Louisiana, pretty close to the French Quarter, to boot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [i]Artemis unfurled his emerald wings from under his cloak, admiring the gift from the vampiric god, Dracule. He then floated silently on the air to Siren, landing just behind her as she stopped under an oak tree, the tree that Artemis had sworn to protect her for eternity under. Now, tears fell lightly from her eyes.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b]You don't have to do this, Siren. If Kain himself tried to hurt you, I would stand against him. Even if he simply insulted you herbal tea brew, which even you and I may drink. [b]Siren:[/b]But Artemis...they would kill me... [b]Artemis:[/b]And I would protect you, as I always have. You never needed much protection, yet I always appeared at your side when you were in need. [b]Siren:[/b]Yes, I know. And that is more than enough for mere friendship. I often wondered why you did that, but I never could ask you. [b]Artemis:[/b]Well, I suppose I must tell you before we go out to war and get ourselves killed. I...I've been in love with you for all of seven centuries and more. I love you dearest of all, though it may seem impossibe for a vampire to love. Alas that I am one of the few vampires that still has a human soul. But forever and eternities more, I love you, Siren... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:Yeah....sorry to make this kind of mushy for a vampire RPG, but it is 4:30 in the morning, I haven't slept in three days(damned school reports...WHY DO THEY NEVER STOP COMING?!?), and it is taking all of my focus NOT to screw up on my goddang (I never swear using God's name) typing 'cause I gotta be an example for newbie RP'ers. Damn my nobility. Next post will be bloodier and at least have three SARUFAN murders in it, I swear![/color]

[color=teal][i]Fox paced the room rapidly, chewing his fingernails to the bone almost. He began muttering to himself, cursing to the gods, blessing them, then cursing them all over again. Suddenly, he too fell into a trance-like sleep as Ryoko herself awakened. Fox dreamt... Fox, a boy of only three, weaved in between the trees as he ran to his mother and father. Deedlit had just given birth to a lovely baby girl and Fox cried out his first word, the word in elven that meant "beautiful".[/i] [b]Baby Fox:[/b]Ryoko!!! [i]Parn and Deedlit smiled. The gods had given them two blessings that day: a daughter and their son's gift of speech. The priests had all said that Fox was going to die by the age of four and that he would never speak. Parn and Deedlit had cied for hours and hours when they found that their son had a cancerous tumor in his brain, one that would almost eliminate his life. They had found relief, however, when the tribe of shapeshifters told Parn and Deedlit that if they gave Ryoko, the name of the child in honor of her and of Fox's first word, to the tribe, Fox's life would be spared, even he would still have a fatal disease within his body and a Berserker fury invoked by his rage. Fox snapped awake when he saw his sister being given up to the tribe, tears in Deedlit's eyes...[/i] [b]Fox:[/b]Mother...why didn't you tell me I would have died if you didn't lose Ryoko? Why?!?! [i]Ryoko heard this and found herself staring at Fox and Deedlit, her hair moved from its original place where it had covered her hand and wrist. On her wrist was the same birthmark that Fox had, a circle with a slash through it. on Ryoko's ring finger was the Bondring, the symbol of an elven daughter or son before their parents deemed them worthy to take them off. Fox's eyes teared up as he saw the ring glowing brighter as he moved his own near hers. He looked into her eyes, seeing tears within the shadows of them.[/i] [b]Ryoko:[/b]I knew many things about you Parn, and you, Deedlit. But that you were my mother and brother...that I never knew. My family...I had always thought that they were the shapeshifters. I have a brother!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope you don't mind this, Dani. PM me, IM me, E-mail me, whatever, if you don't want what I posted in this RPG. See ya.[/color]

[color=royal blue][i]Artemis stood up after waking, his feet rather unsteady underneath him. As if in answer to Henry's question and Percival's questioning stare, he spoke up, coughing blood every few words and worrying the Hell out of Maria.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b]The-*coughcough*...the things I do f-*coughcoughcough*...for love. [b]Henry:[/b]Let me guess. You saw Misty in grave danger, leaped in front of some sharp implement, and paid for her life with your own? Artemis, when will you EVER learn NOT to be so damn noble? [b]Artemis:[/b]When-*coughcough*...when you stop being so interested in guns. *coughcoughcoughcough* [b]Henry:[/b]I'll take that as a "never", then, shall I? [i]Artemis smiled and laughed weakly as he drew out his sword, struggling to lift it higher than his knee level. he decided to get some rest as Misty walked in, laying out a sheet on the mattress. Artemis put out the candle and everyone left. Everyone except Misty, who curled up on the mattress beside him, simply twining her fingers in his hair with a pleased and joyful smile on her face. Artemis fell asleep just as Misty opened her mouth to speak...[/i][/color]

[i][color=crimson]Artemis stared out at the stars. The land of Nosgoth was in turmoil, even though the great lord Kain had killed the Sarufan lord. Artemis smiled grimly as he heard the sarufan yelling about the corpse in the street. He licked his blood-stained lips in anticipation as he drew out his katana, slicing a fine line in the air. He ran at them, killing the first one before he was even seen. The second one was stabbed in the chest before anyone could see what happened to him. The third was the only one to know that Artemis Belmont was near. The famous vampire sank his teeth into the last guard's neck, slowly getting a nice dessert after that rich sarufan earlier. He smiled as he heard Siren's familiar song wafting through the still night air. Almost hypnotized, he slowly drifted through the streets to the sound of his "angel's" voice. Would she ever know that he loved her? He stopped just under her window, smiled, and looked back out into the streets. What he saw surprised him. He jumped up, appropriating himself in the proprer salute to Khan, Kain's right-hand vampire.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b]Commander Khan! [b]Khan:[/b]Enough with the salute, "Leuitenant" Artemis. I hate that. Why did we even decide to take military titles? It is too...too human. [b]Artemis:[/b]Ah, well. So, you are here for some reason? [b]Khan:[/b]Yes. Lord Kain is assembling a force to drive away the Sarufan. It shall be comprised of the strongest, most loyal vampires. You are one such vampire, and your fame is widespread, Artemis Belmont. You are the only vampire besides Kain and myself, though you have no reason for it, to have murdered over one-thousand sarufan. You indeed would be a valuable asset to our cause.[/color]

[color=green]Lauren, you ought to read yourself. I said in my bio that I am NOT related to Link. My foster-mother was, but she never adopted me. And there are only two descendants of Link a male and a female. There can be more girls, not just one.[/color]

[i][color=crimson]Zero began calling for Ciel, hoping his wife was ok. He bent down to check some footprints, seeing a shoeprint that looked a lot like Ciel's surrounded by others, one of them shaped oddly like a huge robot's foot. Zero bent down, examining it closely. The visual picture he got was a picture of a red robotic THING. He didn't know that it was Apocalypse, nemesis of the X-Men. Zero also didn't know that his girlfriend looked a lot like Jean Grey...[/i][/color]

[color=royal blue][i]As Artemis' limp form was lain on the floor, Carrie prepared for the Rite of Soul-Calling. Artemis' blood began to clot, and Carrie called Percival and Misty into the room. As they walked in, they saw Carrie adorned in a sacramental robe. She ordered them to hold out their hands, and she collected some of Artemis' blood in a goblet as they did so. She sliced open their palms, letting their blood fall into the goblet as well. She turned back to Artemis' body, bent down, and sliced open her own hand, following suit. She then held the goblet to Artemis' frozen lips, triclking the substance down his throat, then across his chest in a cross pattern, circling his heart with the mixture.[/i] [b]Carrie:[/b]Ancient spirits, wise and old, return mortal soul from eternal cold. Blood of the body, love, friend, and mage, bring back your master to his bodily cage! [i]The room filloed with white light, and a glimmering, white shadow appeared above Artemis' body. It went to Misty, Percival, and Carrie, touching the slashes on their palms in turn. They stared and saw the wounds heal instantly, simply forming a thin white scar. The shadow then hovered over the body again, falling into it gently after sealing the wound in its chest. Suddenly, Artemis' eyes opened, his breath returning and his pallor returning to its pale tan. He held up his hand, revealing three thin scars, one shaped exactly like Misty's, one like Percival's, and one like Carrie's. Another scar, heart-shaped, appeared just on his chest, above his own heart. Misty fell to her knees, crying. Percival sighed with relief, then shook Artemis vigorously by his shoulder. Carrie simply looked to the ceiling as if to say "Thank GOD I didn't lose control THIS time.". Artemis, jarred from the shaking and still trapped in the moment of his death, retched blood, fortunately leaning out the window. Eventually, he leaned back in, wiping his mouth, and fell asleep on the matress laid out. He was vaguely awarethat everyone was in his room as he fell into a deep sleep, hoping Misty awakened him soon...[/i][/color]

[i][color=royal blue]Contrary to what he said, he did not stay and train with Asteroth. he worked his back back up to the town on his own to see what he could buy. He'd been window-shopping for an hour when the pain caught up with him and he cried. Suddenly, he saw Misty and Artemi at a small outdoor restaurant, laughing and having a good time. He clenched his fist and began to turn away when a scream echoed aloud. Artemis turned, hand on his sword, to see Death overturning tables and Skeletorises burning the village. Ryan stood and drew his blade, Misty doing the same. They didn't know that Artemis was there, nor did they know about Death. Suddenly, Death flew in front of Misty and Ryan, holding up a small, handheld sickle. He smiled grimly, throwing it at Misty. She couldn't move, for no-one but a Belmont may stand againt Death without falling to his blade. She screamed, and Ryan made no move to stop the blade. Then, just an instant before the blade would kill Misty, she clenched. But no pain came, no blade pierced her chest. She looked up and screamed even louder. Artemis had run in, catching the sickle in his chest to save her. She fell to her knees as Artemis struggled to pull out a blessed throwing knife. He threw it, banishing the last of his energy just as he banished Death. He collapsed, his breathing shallow, his face cold. Misty cried, taking his head in her lap as he felt the warmth flowing out of him. Ryan just shook his head.[/i] [b]Ryan(to himself):[/b]I should have taken it. I would've saved Misty and the world! But...I would have died. I want to live, damnit... but now the world has no hero to challenge Dracula. [b]Artemis(to Misty):[/b]I had...had re...really...hope..ed to.. mar..ry..you. It..it.it's so co..cold. I...I lo..ve y..you. [i]His head slid down, his blood draining in torrents, and it began to rain. Only one hope lay in saving Artemis' life. Carrie would know what to do, he thought as his vision began to blur and he could no longer see the angel that held his head in her lap, so he could not see the look of anger that crossed her face as she looked at Ryan...[/color][/i]

[i][color=teal]Fox suddenly had a freakish idea about that burst of love he'd felt for Ryoko. He jumped up, staring at his mother.[/i] [b]Fox:[/b]Mother, did you have another child? A daughter that you gave up to the shapeshifters, where she could learn and study their art? [b]Deedlit:[/b]How did you know? [b]Fox:[/b]Because I think Ryoko is my sister![/color]
