Quixotic Saga (Rated PG-17, just in case)

[parallelzero]

Quixotic Saga

The year is currently 2009. A time of peace for the newly developed city of Pilox; which is located near Los Angeles. Pilox is a considered one of the worlds most high tech cities, and consists of both the American, and Japanese cultures primarily.

In this city, there is a new card game that is spreading in popularity like wildfire. This game is known as Quixotic Gear; the first card game to take various elements of anime, manga, and game series, and throws everything into one. There are over 6,000 different cards known worldwide, which consists of many different characters, items, and places from various series. The sheer variety of cards made the game an instant hit, and it is played worldwide.

Quixotic Gear inspired a research team by the name of DOX to create a machine capable of making the game a reality. The end result was the wristband-like mechanism called PACS (Prototype Assault Card System), and it was quickly put to the test.

Once a Quixotic card is inserted into PACS, the wearer is transformed into the character the card represents. Well, I guess that explanation would be wrong. A better way of wording it would be that the wearer takes on a similar form, only gaining the outfit, hair style, and they would gain the abilities of the character, regardless of their physical state. The wearer, however, would not change eye colour, or body size or shape.

There is also a second card slot for non-character cards, such as weapons, items, etc. The only issue is, the item or weapon has to be capable with the character in use. For example, if you are a character who uses a gun, you can't use a sword weapon card on him.

During the testing stages, DOX discovered numerous problems in the programming of PACS. First of all, PACS wasn't usable by everyone. Only certain people were able to use it; all of them under 20. Even then, only a select few in that age range were capable. The scientists began suspecting that the PACS machines were actually choosing who were to possess them, as ludicrous as it sounds. For reasons unexplained, a user can't use a card that has a character of the opposite gender, although a fix is in the works. Another error was that there was to be no pain, it was all supposed to by holographic. However, the result was extremely real, pain and all.

The fatal flaw DOX overlooked was the fact that the prototype PACS had actually been manifesting itself in the minds of the original testers, slowly setting their minds on a path of evil. One day, the three original test subjects disappeared, along with their PACS, leaving the lab in a uproar.

One month later, you are on a tour of the DOX facilities for one reason or another, when the original three testers attack the building in an attempt to steal something. You run away, and find a PACS just randomly lying around. It attaches itself to your arm, and you're forced to use one of your cards to help defeat the villains. Just what is in store for you afterwards?

[Loki]

Name: Len Takaoshi
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Appearance: Len has orange gold hair, which is constantly spiked upward. His hair matches his brownish gold eyes, which are sharp and almond shaped. His torso is covered by a white sleeveless summer vest*, and a yellow T-shirt underneath. He dresses in a pair of casual black pants made of khaki material, which have the air of baggy cargo pants- though, more fitted. The very bottom ridge's do drag on the floor behind his plain yellow flip-flops, and they often cover his shoe's as well. Len wears an assortment of accessories, including a small gold hoop earring on his right ear, a thick leather wrist band on his left wrist accompanied by a few rounded rubber bracelet's, a light silver chain necklace, and lastly, on his right wrist is a black digital watch.

Len's hair and face

* A summer vest IMO, is a vest with only one layer of fabric (as in, no padding of a vest made to keep you warm) which zip's up the front with two pocket's on either side of the zipper. A hood hangs off the back, and is, like most vests, sleeveless.

Personality: Len is a laid-back lazy person, who's often spacing out or ignoring everything going on around him. A real, genuine smile from him is rare- he often partner's his fake smile's with pleasant sarcasm or instant comebacks, and likes to seem like an unpleasant person, while he's really someone who's easy to get along with, due to his uncaring and unpreferenced attitude. He prefer's peace and quiet over the noise of people, so at school and after school, he's usually found in the library reading or doing homework. During the rare instances when he doesn't have anything to do (anything includes sitting around and staring at something for an hour,) he likes to sketch and write. He rarely expresses extreme emotion, such as extreme fear, anger, happiness, sadness, etc, and only expresses lighter, milder forms of them. Through all this, he is extremely opinionated, and first-impressions are everything for him. And, he's extremely forgetful, and often forget's what he hears right after he hears it. (In one ear, out the other)

History: To say the least, Len grew up in a library. Kinda. His family ran a local bookstore which doubled as the public library, and their house was adjacent to the bookstore. So he spent his entire life surrounded by books and books and books. Ironically, he didn't end up being a nerdy geeky bookworm like his older brother, Kusaii, instead, he was the entire polar opposite in social status. He was often viewed as the 'local perfect guy' in his neighborhood, for his pleasant demeanor and was often chased by most of the girls in his classroom. Even though he did make many friends, he usually found himself enjoying his own company better, and made lot's of excuse's not to hang out with anyone any longer then nesseccary. He found himself immersed in anime's and manga's, often wishing he could be the invisible guy who was just there, and never actually in the spotlight. This is when he found himself immersed in Quixotic, and he spent most of his time silently collecting all kinds of cards- even one's of character's and items etc he'd never even seen before. Having spent all his life in Pilox, he knew where they were sold, where the best quality cards were sold, and where the greatest variety would be sold. It was a silent obsession, in which only he himself knew the depths of, and when PACS was introduced...

Character Card 1
Name: Champion
Appearance: As a Champion, Len gains most everything of the Champion's appearance, save for his hair, which remains in it's usual appearance.

Character Card 2
Name: Deidara
Appearance: Deidara is an S-ranked missing-nin, and Len's eyes turn to the cyan color of Deidara's eyes, and he also ends up with a bag of clay, along with the hands on Deidara's palms. His hair lengthens out to cover the scope on his left eye. A shorter version of the Akatsuki jacket accompanies his black jeans. Hidden behind the jacket around his waist is Deidara's Itogakure forehead protector.

Name: Pheo
Effect: Pheo can be ridden on, and breathe fire. It can change the color of it's feather's to blue, black, yellow, green, and red, depending on whatever is called for. He can only be summoned by the Ragnarok Cards. But it's a large pheonix and stands out like a sore thumb.

Other Card 2
Name: Kansho and Bakuya
Effect: This card summons two swords to the two Ragnarok character's, even though really, only Champion uses these swords.

RP SAMPLE: I sat in a small restruant, Ryota and Jin having insisted on stopping to eat after the journey from Otogakure, to this…happy place. Ryota, dressed in a longsleeved black turtleneck with a sleeveless male's kimono that looked similar to mine- save for the sleeves and a pair of black trousers and boots. He often wore sweatbands around his wrists, also black in color, with his forehead protector around his neck. He was…no doubt the most eccentric of our team. And that wasn't saying much. We sat and ate in silence, with Jin glaring around the incredibly bright and bustling restraunt. Jin was the most sultry. He was constantly bitter about something- anything! Sighing, he ran a hand through his spiky platinum blonde hair, which covered mostly half of his face on one side. It was awkward here in Konohagakure. Everything was peaceful, and noisy.

"This noise is bugging me." Ryota grumbled, practically reading my mind. Jin and I both nodded, and Ryota was satisfied with our answer. He liked to think he was the leader, because he talked the most. Under his breath, Jin usually liked to make fun of Ryota to me in sign language- something Ryota had neglected to learn when Jin joined our team. Jin never expected a laugh or a giggle- and I never gave him one. Maybe a smile when it was well timed, but you couldn't see that underneath my mask and forehead protector. Jin was different from Ryota in a lot of ways. One in that he was an absolute mute. He'd told me that his vocal chords had been cut a long time ago, for secrecy. Jin wore a black top just like Ryota's except, he'd slashed the sleeve's off himself and he usually wore black gloves on his hands to the middle of his upper arm. He told me these were to hide markings or scars. I'd forgotten which. His trouser's were similar to Ryota's except that they were baggier, and trailed slightly on the floor- just enough so that it wouldn't get in his way. He didn't wear boots though, he wore a pair of black open-toed shinobi shoes. Like most of the shinobi here, and I could tell Jin was uncomfortable with this fact. His forehead protector ran across his mouth- which had been stitched together.

Ryota never failed to mention to Jin how freaky that was. Jin always just stared back with his glassy, clouded grey eyes and Ryota would always shiver and call Jin a ghost before scampering away. I, on the other hand, was the entire median between them. The only reason they weren't trying to kill each other at the present moment. Ryota downed his tea and Jin shifted in his seat. We got lot's of odd looks, thanks to our forehead protectors. Not one of us removed ours though. I couldn't, Jin couldn't, and Ryota was too prideful.

"I won't be able to stand this for a week." I said in my high tinkly voice- it was barely audible and I made a scene of trembling for the shinobi in the restraunt- as far as I could tell, they were all natives to Konohagakure. Jin nodded and formed his fingers into 'Me too'.

Ryota raised an eyebrow and shrugged, "This isn't half as bad as walking into Sunagakure was."

Oh yes, I remembered that. Glares and threats all around for Sound's treachery and trickery on the village. I forget why we'd even gone. I forget a lot of things I probably shouldn't. I tapped my fingers nervously, Ryota drummed his fingers against his empty tea cup impatiently, and Jin sat so still, If I didn't see his pale eye darting from left to right, I would've thought he was dead. Suddenly, Ryota stood, and me and Jin did as well. We always followed his lead- because we hated making decision's ourselves.

"Let's go back to the hotel. We'll stake out there. Maybe shield it with a soundproof wall." Ryota finally uttered in a defeated voice as the restraunt started to crowd out more.

Jin glanced at me and I shrugged. We left the restraurant into the busier, louder, and more annoying streets. Just our luck to find ourselves in the midst of the marketplace.

Personality: David grew up following the morals his parents set for him, providing him with a strong sense of justice. At school, he often found himself defending kids from bullies, despite the odds. He is generally very confident, and evaluates any situation before running in without a plan. This doesn't always take place, however. When he is emotionally disturbed, his vision becomes clouded. He is always there to stick up for his friends, not caring whether or not it affects him in the long run, showing his unselfish characteristic.

History: David grew up with his parents, and younger sister in Ontario, Canada. He attended a private school in which bullying was a massive problem. It was here that he learned how to fight, eventually earning himself a reputation that implied he could take down even the biggest of bullies. He eventually began defending students he found being bullied. Recently, he moved to Pilox as his Dad's job was relocated. Here he met Jay, the son of one of DOX' scientists. The two eventually became friends, but Jay went missing a few days after testing one of his dad's inventions at DOX.

[Shiney]

OOC: Work in progress, don't sue me after all this I heard about losing your post. >_>

Name: Robert Price

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance: Robert is naturally large at 6' even, and a broad frame. This size, combined with the fact that his dark brown hair is almost a scruffy mane, and a straggley beard marring most of the lower half of his face gives the image of a barbarian, that his clear brownish eyes do nothing to dissaude. He typically wears nothing more than a wide variety of sneakers, jeans, and simple shirts. Though when it's chilly, he has a soft black leather jacket, and when it's cold, or when intimidation is important, he has a full length, German leather trenchcoat in the same shade.

Personality: In fact, Robert is rather well balanced, if a bit unusual by normal standards. He was raised mostly on homeschool, and without other peoples messages and faulty beliefs pressed upon him in his impressionable years, he quickly developed his own views of the world. He quickly based his own morals on fair and unfair, seeking to harm those who abused power. That was rather difficult in this day and age, so he rarely got the oportunity. However, he was still able to make a few friends, despite the reputation he obtained.

History: There's not much to say here. Robert was raised as a normal kid until around the beginning of second grade, in which he was taken into homeschool. There, he learned quickly, actually getting ahead of the curve until around highschool. There, he began to decay, focusing more on hobbies like anime and games rather than education, but he still retained an above average degree of intelligence. He was raised in a vareity of places, his father working in the government, until their most recent move to Pilox three years ago.

World: Ranma 1/2
Abilities and Attacks: Ryouga has a number of martial art tricks, including his berserk stamina and strength. However, he also has great weaknesses. Simple disguises become easy to delude him, his sense of direction becomes non-existant, and when splashes with even a single drop of cold water, he is reduced to a nearly harmless black Piglett.

[Aether]

Name: Doxis Veron

Age:15

Gender:Male

Appearance: Doxis has very dirty blonde hair, it is sort of shiny, but not very, it can spike up, making him look very similar to many anime characters he likes. He has dark cobalt eyes. Since he does'nt get out much, his skin is a bit pale, but not stark white. He likes to wear a shirt of green that has a large pocket on its side. He has long, black jogging pants that have many pockets, and he has big yellow shoes (Disney Style). Doxis is a little thin, but not too much, he is at the perfect weight. Doxis is about 6' tall, he may occasionally wear a gray sweater when it gets cold.

Personality: Doxis has never really been very social, he has always been locked up in his room playing games and watching TV. But when he does meet people, he is more than happy to have a chance to talk to people, preferably around his own age. Doxis is very energetic, but not hyper, he is smart in how he uses it so as not to annoy people. He is making A's and B's in his high school, so he is a little smart. Unfortunately, Doxis can't stand the heat and can make some stupid remarks sometimes. He is'nt that perky, but he is quite cheerful at some times. He can be very confident, sometimes overly, but he does snap out of it, usually at the right time.

History: Doxis' parents worked as a part of DOX, and that is where Doxis got his name from, he is a semi-smart person, but he did have his rocky areas in Middle School. Since his parents work on the PACS project, Doxis is always at home, playing his games and watching TV in his secluded room. He goes to high school, and makes satisfieing grades, as a result, he gets more games, as his parents spoil him. None of this hurts Doxis that much, but it does make him a bit less social. He is also absorbed in Manga, he always eagerly awaits the new monthly editions of Shonen Jump, and he simply loooves anime.

RP Sample: "hmmm..." Doxis looked at his computer screen, "lets see, what is on the DOX reasearchers on the internet..." Doxis had not heard from his parents in a while, and he was getting worried about them. He had been alone in the house for 3 days, the folks didn't usually stay at the lab for that long.

Doxis had'nt seen his parents on the DOX tour he decided to go on, which was very strange, and then he found some strange device that latched to his arm when he decided to break away from the other tour people. So he decided to look it up on the internet. Minutes and then hours passed, and still, there was nothing but more spam and completely unrelated topics on the monitor. This thing must be top secret. Doxis thought as he looked at his arm, the strange machine flashed and shimmered in the sun from its chrome exterior.

Doxis then, after studying the computer a few more minutes, suddenly jumped out of his chair and ran out the door. I need to find some answers! He ran off to the PACS lab, with his own device in hand, he kept screaming in his head that his parents were okay, but he could'nt shake a looming feeling of terror deep within him as he kept running down the city sidewalk...

 

[Rena]

This is what I have now, the rest will be coming pretty much very soon..

Name: Sen Kiichino
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Appearance: Sen has a peach complexion, often accompained by a heartwarming glow. Her russet brown hair flows down to her jaw, and are kept by two tangerine ribbons, which also help her sport her little pigtails. Soft, cerulean eyes that are filled with light that contrasts her appearence. sen wears half kimono-like blouse, with a crimson ribbon and orange patterns of squares are accompained on the pale scarlett kimono, it is outlined by a forest green fabric while sporting a ribbon of the same fabric. She wears a simple grey skirt with just some slight runges embedded into the fabric. Sen wears plain bamboo sandals with silver plastic keeping them to fall. She sports a pair of earrings that have the slightest tint of pink in the gold reflection. Sen keeps her cards hidden in a small pocket on the right side of her blouse.
Personality: Childish and complex; if not this way, Sen wouldn't be herself, a mind that wanders and a heart that is incomplete and yet still vibrant and warm; fluttery. Stunting the growth of ones mind, body and soul, and yet so full of wonder and innocence, pure and cleansed; protected from everything. A way where she loves games and the pleasure of all the fun in life. She is not easily frightened, though she is a bit slow and a little sensitive, still cynical however. Sei is quiet, she likes to be alone at times and she is very nice to people. She is very smart and carefree, she likes to explore and have fun. She is a bit bipolar and she doesn't know what she wants and can be easily swayed into doing some things but not all. Sen has a living contraction; Sen can't really quit contradicting herself, but she only does it when she actually realizes that she has.
History: Sen, having memories of her parents dying in a car crash at the age of four did not have a family for a long period of time. She had lived in the orphanage for six years before she was actually adopted by a pair with a child of their own already. Sen, on the other hand was just wearing a mask of gloominess, some say that she's devious of thinking up the "I'm-so-sad-I-don't-have-parents-and-I-want-some-really-badly" plan, so she had undergone a slick adoption process of thinking up this devious plan.

Sei has a brother, almost twin because both of their birthdays are the same. They look at the same in many ways too, the same chesnut hair and peachy, creamy skin, even the same eye colour. It was like destiny having this happen, meeting this boy and being adopted.

Sei's adopted parents were very kind to her, and they were very happy that their son now had a playmate, someone that he could play with while they were off at work. They were scientists, the both of them archeologist working their butts off to support a living for their son and newly adopted daughter.

Her father, Daisuke is a father figure to both of his children. He is over worked, under paid but loves what he does. Most people see him as a bookworm, he is far from a normal bookworm, he explores worlds within a binding, even as a child, but he also sees the beauty of things not seen. Things that are completely normal at first, and yet when opening the mind it seems so different, so incomplete. He said himself chose Sen on the spot because of her honestly that had drive many parents away before.

Her mother, Seisha is a gentle mother who loves to smother both of her children with as much love as she possibly can. Being a grade A chef and a kind and thoughtful mother is something hard to work for even with her paying job as an Archeologist, her life's passion. She loves to explore the world, but on her spare time she tends a garden in the back of their home.

Contrary to popular belief, Takumu or Payne as he likes to be called instead of his sinister given name meaning 'to devise', is carefree and kind though not shown to be. Being six feet and already towering over his younger half twin he is the bigger of the two flirts, being meaner by a notch as well. When they were younger people could barely tell them apart until Sen grew out her hair.

Even though Sen and Payne were not related they were always good friends and close allies getting into all sorts of trouble when they were younger, their favorite hide out being their mother's garden. Payne was always sort of jealous of Sei for all of her talents, musically gifted, artistic, even being able to write prettier than he did, even though he had a secret crush on her since they first met.

Sen only had a recent move to Pilox, and seems to not have any friends, due to her sudden social outburst that people dub as "weird," and "freaky."

To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra circulatory system, causing the targeted area to rupture or divert flow. Alternatively, or as an added bonus, the same method can be used to damage the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra circulatory system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name. And including the Kaiten, Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, and Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Bell, accepted.
Shiney and Jellybeans, since I know you two are good RPers, your spots are reserved.
Darkralts7, as of right now, your sample is not up to snuff, and I'd like more in your appearance. So for now, declined.

Thats right, a cheap rip-off of Bell's accepting system. XD

If Darkralts ish accepted, then ignore this, Davey-Davey. 83;

Name: Genevieve "Ginny" McDougal
Age: 10
Gender: Female

Appearance: Ginny boasts a healthy complexion and an athletic figure; she lacks a bit in the height department, however, standing at four feet four and a half. Golden silky corkscrew curls fall slightly past her shoulders, adorned by a strand of white ribbon. Her wide eyes are a vivid sapphire with a ring of green at the center, but it's hardly visible. It often gleams when she is having fun - meaning, everytime she's in a 'verbal battle' in which she would inevitably triumph. Visage-wise, she's almost exactly like Goldilocks... er, Goldilocks that is equipped with a haughty and devious smirk (one that ruins her whole "but-I'm-just-an-innocent-little-girl" façade.) She wears a white dress-like shirt, with inch wide sleeves and a slightly frilly hem, which falls smoothly beside her midthighs along with black knee-length leggings. She wears a pair of matching sandals to finish off her attire. She also carries a small, monkey-shaped shoulder bag that contains her cards.

Personality: Ginny, contrary to her appearance, is your typical smart-alecky kid. Gifted with a sarcastic and disrespectful nature, she has a sharp answer for everything (although, she would most likely answer questions with more questions, if not only to see the aggravation she causes). Arrogant and haughty, she treats everyone exactly the same—like inferior beings—regardless of age or status. Unless, of course, she needs to manipulate the oh-so gullible adults; for that, she would basically just suck up. Oh, flattery is one of the best weapons ever invented~ If you put aside her obnoxiousness, Ginny is actually pretty hard to hate – dislike, perhaps, but not hate. Being so young, her childish innocence remains in tact and it shows in her immeasurable amount of curiosity and honesty toward particular stuff.

History: Genevieve is an only child, born into a somewhat wealthy family – which is ultimately the source of her spoiled attitude. Infamous for her devious reputation, she is respected feared by almost everyone in her school. Plus, her family's status gave her even more popularity. She had moved to Pilox when she was only six-years-old, and had wreaked havoc ever since. She easily gained friends, not particularly caring whether they liked her merely for her money or because of fear, and they more or less act like her slaves (Ginny made certain her friends were oblivious of this fact, though).

Her parents spoil her to death … obviously … and give her just about anything she desires. The most recent thing being the very popular game, the Quixotic Gear, which she just seemed to be obsessed with. Her parents have ordered their butler to buy whatever Quixotic cards he was able to find, and have personally spoken to a friend working with DOX, intending to find out where to purchase this so-called PACS that thrilled half the children in their neighborhood.

After all, their precious daughter had asked for it two minutes ago.

Curse you and your ToA character card, Mari. My copy of ToA doesn't come until Friday. ;.; XD Oh, the link to Anise's picture doesn't work. >.o;

Mari and Shiney, despite the lack of RP Samples, I'm going to accept you both, since I know you're capable.

Jellybeans, your spot is still reserved, but I suggest you finish the card section off soon x.x;

DarkRalts: Looking at your posts in various other RPs, you don't seem to be able to comply with the rules 100%. Therefore, you are declined, and will remain declined.

If anyone wants to play as a villain character, you're welcome to. The only condition is that they must have tested the original model of PACS; only to disappear a few days after.

And since I need something to take my mind off ToA until Friday, I'll make the starting post now. XD For the sake of jumping right into things, I'm going to start after a huge explosion takes place at DOX HQ, annihilating half of the building. Your character is one of the lucky few who somehow survived the explosion, but find monsters from various games and series running around. This is when you should find your PACS, which should automatically become "attached to you". And the rest should be kind of obvious.

IC:
"Holy... crap." I panted as I got up off the ground, staring at the rubble before me. Not even a minuted ago, that rubble was basically half of the entire DOX building. My eyes shot open wide suddenly as my head jolted downwards to examine my body. I had only narrowly gotten out of the path of the explosion. Either way, though, I was close enough to recieve at least a small burn. Much to my surprise, however, I had absolutely no wounds from the experience what so ever.

Deciding it was best to look for survivors, I dashed out into the mess to search. At first glance, it seemed like everyone had just disappeared. Eventually, I found one survivor trapped under a fallen tree that was going up in flames, screaming for help. What a tree was doing in the middle of a building wreck, I have no clue. What I did know, was that I had to get her free!

"Hang on!" I shouted as I began to attempt to push the smouldering burden off of her petite body. "Damnit... I... can't... even... budge it!" I groaned as I continued to push even harder. I still wasn't budging the tree even a little bit, not to mention the flame atop the tree would soon spread to the point where I wouldn't be able to touch it at all. From that point on, my troubles just multiplied.

I made one final charge at the tree, only to find myself being knocked into a hill of rubble by a white blur that was now moving back and forth in a manner than involved stretching it's arms and legs back and forth. As my vision cleared, the identity of my attacker became clear. "Wha!?" It was a Dusk, a form of a Nobody from Kingdom Hearts 2. "That can't be! They aren't real!" Frightened, I got back onto my feet and turned to run away, only to find myself face-to-face with another Dusk. In fact, I was surrounded by five of them, all dancing around me in that creepy manor.

Now, it didn't take a genius to piece together the fact that something was up; and it wasn't a good something. I suddenly felt something clamp on to my left arm, and threw my right fist at it, assuming it was a Dusk. Strangely, it wasn't. It was a small object that was shaped similar to a card, only it was thicker, made of a white metal, and had a slot in it for some reason. On the top in red, capital letters, it read "PACS". There was also a large red light flashing in the upper left corner. The worst part about whatever it was, though, was the fact that it had embedded itself into my arm. My ARM!

The Dusk quickly took advantage of the distraction the PACS had provided, and one slid behind me, attempting to swipe at me with it's feet. The PACS suddenly emitted a blinding red light from the same place the flashing had come from earlier. For the next few moments, I talked and moved not of my own will.

"Execute!" I shouted as I raised my left arm into the air, a red light emitting from my right pocket as a card shrouded in the red light shot out, shooting itself into the slot in the PACS. "Power of the Shinigami, come to me!" My body was then covered by the red light.

When it finally cleared, I found myself holding a large sword that looked suspiciously like Ichigo's Zangetsu. Upon a closer inspection in a nearby puddle of water, I found I looked very similar to him as well, except at the same time I looked like me as well.

I glanced around for my opponents, but the Dusks had fled for some reason. "Okay, just what exactly is going on?" I sighed, leaning on the sword.

OOC: So, you're free to choose your own enemies, as well as the colours of your PACS. Basically, kind of make a post along those lines.

And for anyone who doesn't know what a Dusk looks like: here

I felt my hand move. I think that was the only part of me that could move, the only part that wasn't crushed under the fallen machine. The machine was light enough not to cause me extreme discomfort, but I knew that it was heavy enough to prevent me from moving anywhere anytime soon. My hand which was lying limp and numb was the only part that was visible from underneath the machine, and as far as I could tell, the sticky liquid that sent needles up my arm and shoulder was blood. It'd probably cut myself on something, and anyone who walked past would surely think I was simply a dead corpse. I managed to roll my eyes in frustration, without touching any of the sparking wires near the edge of the machine. I tried to use my leg to push the machine off of me, and managed to get myself one centimeter out from underneath the machine. It would take ages to get out like this. And my leg was already sore. I sighed and let myself relax.

Ow. Owwwwch. I risked moving my head downward toward my left arm, the one that was hanging underneath the fraying wires that were sparking and burning the bare skin. It was a yellow thing that was mercilessly biting onto my arm- no, molding with it- no, what was it doing? It dug itself into my arm and the only thing that kept me from yelping and hopping up and down was the crushing machine. A whisper, hiss, whatever you want to call it of the word 'Execute' passed through my head and I raised an eyebrow, wondering if someone had entered the room.

"Execute?" I repeated, confused as to what that was supposed to mean. BAM. I realized that the machine was off of me, and my leg was in extremely aching pain. It was starting to teeter back to the ground, and before gravity could crush me to death, I rolled out of the way expertly, as if automatically. And that was when I noticed I had an odd set of clothe's on. The gloves restricted how far back I could bend my wrist, so I scrambled to my feet and saw the machine crush back to the ground, spitting flames everywhere. I looked down at my arm and saw the burn marks gone, my hand, covered in the gloves, didn't hurt as much anymore, and there certainly wasn't any blood seeping through the black, red, and silver fabrics and...metals...

I was confused, but I didn't want to ponder on it right now. Especially since a white polar bear-like sasquatch was towering over me, and it didn't look too pleased. I stumbled back and the sasquatch roared, an icy spear forming in it's hand, but melting as the flames engulfed the spear. I almost smiled at the Sasquatch's absolutely stunned and confused expression as it held a puddle of water in it's hand, before I kicked it out of the way and ran for any kind of exit...Hm...since when had I learned to kick like that? I looked at the machine that had dug itself into my arm and saw 'PACS' across the top and coupled with the unmistakable glove of a champion that was now on my arm, I put most of the puzzle peices together. I wasn't stupid. I was just confused, and I had a right to be confused. I slid on a dismembered cart and fell back onto my bottom, finding another Sasquatch right in front of me. And- was that a Bigfoot? The flames seemed to be disrupting the lazy beast, and it's temper seemed to flare higher then even the Sasquatch's. I sighed and hoped this Champion card still had some 'oomph' to it.

OOC: Sasquatch:

And for laziness, and Bigfoot is just a maroon version of a Sasquatch.

 

[Shiney]

I slowly brought my arms down from over my head, uncurling my back to reach my full height as I looked around. There was rubble everywhere, and the lights were out, but a good few fires were going. I paused, knowing that this was once in a lifetime oportunity. I raised both arms up high in the infamous pose, and ripping off one of my favorite scenes from a james bond movie, I shouted "I AM INVINCIBLE!" And waited for the roof to collapse.

"Well, there goes Murphy's Law." I said once nothing had occured, brushing myself off. That's when I realized what a heeled boot moving at terminal velocity felt like striking the middle of your neck. I felt something snap, and I flew forward into a broken down machine, my ribs breaking as well, leaving me hanging half-in, half-out of the machinery. I heard the clik of heeled boots slowly coming closer, and realized that I was going to die here. I had to think. There had to be some, fitting yet well known movie quote that would at least deprive my killer of any sense of dignity. My arm twitched idly, the barest bit of response to my brain's attempt to flail wildly touching to a black machine... I didn't feel it melding into my arm, even though I couldn't feel anything as I mumbled a line, unsure of what I was saying. Yet whatever it was, it must have been the right theing. I felt the pain of the larger machinery digging into me, but nothing else. And it felt distanct, like being poked with a paperclip...

I pushed myself up, turning around. If Rouge the bat was a human, I would have been staring at her right there. The tanned skin, the long white hair, the mischievous expression, the overburdened heart-shaped top, the long white and pink gloves, the black pants, even the long, obscenely healed boots, the overburdened top... "Eyes up here." I heard as one of her legs dissapeared, colliding into my face a split second later. It knocked my head to the side, but I didn't even feel it though.. Well, I felt it, but it didn't HURT. I looked down myself, and suddenly realized there was a weight on my shoulders as I recognized the outfit. "The hell?" I asked, slipping the pack to the ground. I was wearing ryouga's clothes, and judging from the shaking his pack caused in the floor, his equipment too. This time, I felt three distinct collisions.

The one in the face I barely noticed. The one behind my knees didn't cause any pain at all as I fell to them, but the one between my legs, now that DID hurt. "Why.. You.. Little..." I said, tears welling up, blurring my vision, but all the colors seemed to fade into shades of red. "Little? Not from the way you were staring, kid." I heard, and reached out. I rose to my feet, and practically yanked her up by her leg. She flailed, but it was no different than holding onto a live fish, except the fish was slippery. I growled as I spun, tossing her directly towards a wall. That's when she unfurled her wings. She had WINGS?! Sure enough, Rouge's batlike wings were on this girl as well, bringing her to a flapping stop before she even hit the wall. "Ooh, this will be fun." She said as she landed with barely a sound, rolling her head luxirously on her shoulders. I didn't care, by this point I was charging straight at her full speed. Now, normally this wouldn't be much considering I wasn't much faster than I could normally run, but I knew, somehow, that I anything I hit running like this would wish it had been a train instead of me that was charging at them.

OOC: For those who aren't familiar with Rouge's looks, click me.

 

[Loki]

OOC: DONE! *Whew*

Name: Karin Shimada
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Appearance: Karin also wears a pair of strappy black sandals with emerald green clasps. (Don't mind my crappy coloring job of the manga scans, I just needed to have the color's there)

Another shot of Karin

Personality: Once a pleasant girl who was soft-spoken, yet all smile's, she was definetely a quiet optimist. Mannerly and sweet, Karin acted like quite the princess, and certainly never settled for less. Though she was calm and quiet, she had an air of authority about her, and would usually get her way, whether there be little persuading or lot's involved, Karin wouldn't be satisfied until she deemed everything perfect. She was often described as a 'two-faced' girl, because she could be extremely kind and sweet, while on the other hand, she was mostly a devil-girl, who didn't have any problem beating someone up because they'd defied her iron fist command. After the PACS manifested in her mind, she became even more soft-spoken and mannerly then before, though what truly doubled was her devil-girl side. Having always been known for getting her way by sulking and having silent tantrum's, this has quite changed, and she now throw's violent and angry temper tantrum's through her bleak and blank expression's.

History: Karin spent most of her time learning how to be a perfect young lady, complete with well-polished manners, harp, violin, and piano lessons, and an almost entirely submissive attitude. She learned to take things as they come and leave them in the past after they'd come and gone, be it with a smile or a frown. Spoiled at birth, she got everything she wanted, including the game of Quixotic when it was released, and the PACS prototype. She made sure that she was able to perfectly use and control the abilities her card's had, and therefore spent most of her free time perfecting these skills. It didn't take long for the evil to manifest in her mind, what with her using it so often, and soon enough, she seemingly disappeared entirely from the city of Pilox. She is currently labeled as a missing child.

Character Card 1
Name: Rider
Appearance: Karin gains every aspect of Rider's appearance when merged with her.
World: Fate/Stay Night
Abilities and Attacks: Bloodfort Andromeda, Breaker Gorgon, Bellerophon, Long range attacks.

Character Card 2
Name: Iron Maiden Jeanne
Appearance: Karin gains every aspect of Jeanne's appearance when merged with her.

Color, but not her entire outfit

World: Shaman King

Abilities and Attacks: Nothing of importance, other then the fact that her Iron Maiden is an absolute defense, as well as an absolute torture for herself- though it doesn't really truly harm her to an effective extent. She needs her Shamash Spirit in order to do anything.

Character Card 3
Name: Tao Jun
Appearance: Karin gain's every aspect of Jun's appearance when merged with her. (Her eyes are really a very pale blue, but you can't tell in the fanart) She carries talisman's in the lacy thigh strap.
World: Shaman King
Abilities and Attacks: Jun herself is just as- if not more, unimpressive then Jeanne, though she can perform light martial arts. (Because I said she can.) She is essentially useless without her Jianshi (Kyonshi), but is extremely powerful with them.

Other Card 1
Name: Shamash
Effect: Shamash is Iron Maiden Jeanne's main spirit, and has the ability to lock people away behind the Gate's of Babylon. (And due to my lack of knowledge on Jeanne and Shamash, a few things I'll make up as I go.) Only Jeanne can use this card.

Other Card 2
Name: Jiangshi
Effect: She can summon a number of Jiangshi, but mostly and mainly Lee Bailong, her main guardian ghost, who is a master in Daodan-do, an original style of martial arts, and is essentially a master of martial arts. (Bruce Lee familiar here.)

 

[parallelzero]

"So... what the heck is going on? What's with these weird abilties I have?" I shouted to nobody in particular as I slashed down three Dusks while running through the rubble towards the open half of the building. There were people in that building, and letting them get taken out by some of the monsters around here was not an option!

I was almost in the building once more, when something slashed my up into the air right in front of the building. I landed in the exact same spot on my back, what felt like a heavy sandal pressing down on my chest. "Heh heh heh. So you're one of the chosen, huh?" A creepy male voice scoffed as I heard and felt him spit on my face. I brought my head up to see what looked like a boy cosplaying Hollow Ichigo. His face was pure white, and he was dressed in the black and white robes. He also posessed the Zangetsu, and two dangerously evil looking eyes.

"W-who are you?" I coughed, realizing I was bleeding from a large gash in my right arm. The pain was a sensation I had never felt before in my entire life.

"My name? Revenge, if you care so much. Although, I don't know how much use it'll be to you if you're dead!" Revenge laughed as he pushed down on my ribs harder with his right foot. "And here I though you'd be stronger, seeing as you had the ability to destroy my Dusk friends."

Sign-up
Name: Chase Umura
Age: 17
Gender: female
Appearance: Chase is a pretty lanky looking individual, being devoid of curves and standing around 5'6". Her slightly tanned skin is marred by several scars, the most noticable being a large one that starts near her temple and disappears into her hairline. She has androgenus features, and is often mistaken for being male. Her hair is an odd ash black that has been cut in odd layers so that it can be spiked into various positions. She has a fondness for hats and is rarely seen without some form of head gear whether it be her black goggles or even a bandana. CHase has dark chocolate eyes with flecks of a reddish hue toward her pupils and a fairly narrow face with sharp features. The girls usual attire consists of a massive neon orange hoodie over a skintight black muscle shirt and a pair of torn jeans. She cares little for appearance and usually looks like she had just rolled out of bed.

Personality: Chase is indifferent to the world for the most part. Her attitude towards others can vary anywhere from generally passive and calm to rude and dangerous. But, regardless of her emotions, she keeps a fairly bored expression on her face. That is, unless she is drawn out of her mind long enough to take notice of something shiny. During such rare moments she becomes a squealing fangirl and is very difficult to calm. Being an introvert, these moments come as a shock to most who meet her.

History: Born and raised in Tokyo Japan, Chase is still fairly new to the city. Her parents shipped her off to live with her Aunt after they divorced, much to the girl's annoyment. She stayed away from most people, choosing to avoid involvement for reasons that even to her are unknown. The girl held a fondness for writing, delving deep into her stories and into various anime and manga, even games. Reality was just far too boring for her. Despite the urging of her Aunt and the few friends that she had, Chase refused to release her firm grip on these fantasy worlds and decided to leave the moment that she graduated High School. She now lives with her best friend in an apartment that they share while going to school at a university for becoming a Manga-ka. Aside from the drastic move to the newly established city, she has had a fairly typical life, free of most traumas.

RP SAMPLE:

The sweet tang of blood laced the thick air that was trapped within the cavernous structure made of stone and gold. A musky, breath stealing air that seemed bent on smothering any who dared to take it in. Among the scents of death and mildew lay the stench of alcohol, sweat, and decay, a horrible and toxious perfume for a place that only it could suit. Light was provided sparsely through the fifteen long corridors that led inward from different directions by black flamed torches. Black fire was a rare thing that few held the ability to create, but here it was abundent. Shadows of light danced along with the spiralling dark flames that beckoned guests forward.

These corridors were about twenty paces wide and miles long, the floor intricately carved with an odd mixture of black and white marble as well as a few strange stones that differed for each. These stones were placed strategically and unless one knew they were there, they were practically undetectable. Each passage had a different pattern of these metalic silver stones that caused the floor to give off an eurethral glow. What these patterns ment, few knew or rather, cared to know.Massive collums of finely decorated crystal lined the corridors, supporting an oppressive looking ceiling that matched the floors perfectly. There appeared to be no walls in these passageways, but they were there, transparent to visitors. These transparent barriers kept out the weather, intruders, and the guardians that roamed outside. It also allowed those inside to view the surprisingly beautiful outside. Tranquil water surrounded the fifteen corridors on both sides, massive flowering trees coated in dangling vines and ivy growing endlessly upward from the clear liquid. The canopy allowed only sparse patches of sky to peer through the leaves and isolated the almost sacred looking place from the world. On second look at the scene however, one would note that not a single bird sang here, nor did the wind stir. It all appeared frozen in time like a perfect fantasy garden, preserved for all time on a murral.

Night shrouded the entire area, the now silvery water glittering with the moon's cold glow. This coldness was nothing in comparison to the inside, which chilled the soul to the bone. The fifteen passages led toward a circular structure that stood in the center. It was a rather impressive work of art with it's carvings and paintings, easily capible of containing an entire city and then some. It's interior held several thousand velvet lined chairs, about two hundred of them black and far more extravigant then the rest. These seated the powerful, while the rest seated the weaker members of the species. One platform in the farmost north section of the structure was decorated with the most care, silks of white and silver hanging neatly over the lavishly ornate pedistal. A large seat stood in it's center, made of the finest materials of gold. Two each side were two other seats, both just as fine. The entire building was filled with people, all dressed in robes of thier clan and chatting openly with others. There appeared to be fifteen clans present, each one massive and closely knit. The seats had been arranged so that all faced inward toward a large circular pit, similar to a colliseum in design. The floor of this pit was covered in finely ground white sand that reflected the glow of the thousands of black fire torches that lined the walls. This sand was not enitely white, tainted with the stain of old blood, as were the walls within the pit. Not a single ladder allowed escape within it's vastness, the walls nearly thirty feet deep. At the far south stood metal gates that to at each side stood a bulky looking guard.

The sound of a chime so soft that it was almost inaudiable silenced the entire crowd. The many guests turned thier slitted gazes toward the south where a sixteenth corridor opened and looked on with anticipation as the soft chiming continued in slow measured time. Every single one of them rose quickly to thier feet, not a single sound breaking the deafening silence other then that faint chime. Finally fifteen men and women dressed entirely in black robes strode without a sound from the corridor. They were emotionless looking, each one flawlessly beautiful and looking more like living marble. The volumous robes fanned out about thier lithe frames, held tight to their torsos by gold bands. They moved purposefully, ignoring the envious looks that they recieved from the others. The Chiming had grown louder and Three others appeared in the doorway. These three seemed to be the source of awe. A tall, muscular, and formidable looking man with wild red hair escorted a woman that belittled the title goddess with ease. She was fairly petite, body perfectly honned and holding a grace that no mortal could ever dream to posess. She was clad in pure black sheer, the long dress trailing behind her and fanning out in a nonexistant wind. Her hair was a long mane of golden brown, coiling and falling nearly to the floor. It was a simple outfit really, but that was all she needed. Honestly, the woman could have been wearing rags and still looked just as beautiful. Her skin was so pale that it radiated a soft cold glow. Beautiful could not describe her. She was beyond that and cold, colder then the darkest ice and several times more deadly.

But, it was the third person that was the true phenomina. A child. An Angel. Barely four years old, the child stood only just above the woman's knees. Pure, metalic strands of silver fell down around it's frail shoulders perfectly, not a single hair out of place. This child, a male, looked akin to a porcelin doll, as though the lightest touch would shatter his untainted form. But this child's eyes were by far, the most startling of his characteristics. White, flecked with black sporadically and rimmed in black as well. A slightly slitted iris dialated and focused as those large eyes flitted about curiously. Endless they seemed, stretching on forever with thier sheer depth. His innocence was amplified by the small smile that curved his pink lips as he held onto the hem of his mother's dress. He was clothed entirely in white, a white that blinded the eyes. Thin modest robes that looked to be slightly too large for him for they fell down his shoulders and concealed his hands. The fabric was then pooled near his knees, a pair of white trousers concealing his legs. Around the boy's neck was a thick silver chain, attatched to a large silver bell that was the source of the chiming. Every person in the room sucked in a sharp breath and stared in awe at the tiny being who looked to belong to the heavens themselves. This was why they had been gathered.


(( I was not sure if it was too late for me to join or not. If not, then I shall withdrawl peacefully. ^^))

Name: Gregory Fox

Age: 15

Gender: Male (Well, how many girls these days are named Gregory?)

Appearance: Gregory stands at about 4'9, and weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of ninety-six pounds. He is an albino, hence his skin is pure white, and he sunburns easily. His hair is brown, and he has grown it down to his shoulders due to his obsession with long-haired male characters in the manga he constantly reads. His current attire includes a shirt reading "The Sun is Trying to Kill Me", and a pair of blue jeans. He wears sunglasses in order to shield his light-sensitive eyes from the sun.

Personality: Gregory is tenacious, and is known around his school as an idiot because of his often ill-fated attempts to take on kids twice his size. Additionally, Gregory is incredibly volatile, often exploding (figuratively) in a fit of temper when anything about him is insulted- his appearance, his parents, his recently deceased dog, the long hours he spends either on the internet or playing Quixotic Gear, or his favorite manga, Crescent Moon. Actually, Gregory would probably murder anyone who insulted Crescent Moon if it was within his power to do so. While Gregory may be a lightweight in the physical sense, he is no slouch in the mental department, and often stays up nights dreaming of creative ways to kill off his tormentors, which are usually not implemented either because of their complexity, or the inability to pick up certain physical items necessary to carry them out. (Example: Gregory once dreamed up in incredibly complex plan of revenge involving offering to dye a certain child's hair blonde, then hurling them into an alternate dimension where cannibals with a special taste for blondes resided, then rescuing them just as the cannibals were about to consume them, only to push them directly under a bus right after saving them. He abandoned this idea because he couldn't afford any blonde hair dye.) Gregory has an almost childlike inability to accept the impossible, and believes firmly in the idea that "if you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything". He is, however, smart enough not to let on that he thinks of his favorite fictional characters as semi-real people.

History:Really, not much to tell here. Born into a suburban family, Gregory was the only child in his family, and had the great misfortune to be born without any skin pigment, and to be unusually weak for a child of his age. As a result, Gregory was picked on in school, and often excluded from games with other children, picked last in gym class, and yadda, yadda, yadda, most of you get the idea. Anyway, he eventually gave up on interacting with others, and retreated entirely into the world of manga. His first volume of Crescent Moon, his current favorite, was a gift from one of his few friends, a fellow Quixotic Gear player. After receiving an oppurtunity to tour the facilities of DOX as a sweepstakes prize, Gregory jumped at the chance to join in.

Character Card 1
Name:Mitsuru Suou
Appearance: (I can't find a picture of him! CURSES!) Gregory gains Mitsuru's white hair, and a set of stripes along either side of his face. Additionally, he takes on Mitsuru's kimono-like clothing and a small pair of crow-like wings, not nearly large enough to support him in flight unassisted.
World: Crescent Moon
Abilities and Attacks: As a tengu, Mitsuru/Gregory gains the ability to control the winds, create electricity, and use a plethora of weather-based abilities. Unfortunately, the intensity of these powers is directly related to the state of the moon- the closer it is to being full, the more powerful Mitsuru/Gregory becomes.

Character Card 2
Name: Misoka Asagi
Appearance: (Once again, I am cheated of a picture here! HOLY CRAP, ARE THERE NO OTHER CRESCENT MOON FANS OUT THERE!?!?) As Misoka, Gregory gains a Kimono-like outfit, and a pair of fox-like ears. Additionally, Gregory's hair straightens, and changes color. (Dang, I'm not sure to what, I've never seen a color picture of Misoka! 0_o)
World: Crescent Moon (Do you see a pattern here?)
Abilities and Attacks: As a Kitsune, Misoka/Gregory gains the power to create illusions, and to create seals or barriers of flame. Once again, however, these abilities increase and decrease depending on the current phase of the moon.

Character Card 3
Name: Uzumaki Naruto
Appearance:

(Wow, a picture- I just picked my favorite, he doesn't look like this all of the time, as any Naruto fan would know.) Gregory gains Naruto's clothing and Hitae-aite, and the seal on his stomach containing the Nine-Tailed Fox, but otherwise, nothing much.
World: Naruto (Um.. no duh?)
Abilities and Attacks: As Naruto, Gregory takes on the ability to create Kage Bunshin, hurl kunai and shuriken in physical attacks, and use the "Oiroke No Jutsu"- though the last one is technically a last resort. Incidentally, the Nine-Tailed Fox in Gregory's belly when he transforms does come into play when he becomes stressed, but only after activating "Kyuubi-Sama". (See "other cards" section.)

Other Card 1
Name: Mahiru's touch
Effect: A card that can only be utilized by a Crecent Moon character, Mahiru's Touch causes the same effect touching Mahiru does in the manga- i.e., the Crescent Moon characters gain powers equal to those they would receive on the night of the full moon, regardless of its current phase. When used in combination with the Mitsuru card however, it causes whoever has taken on Mitsuru's form to also experience a temporary loss of control over his powers.

Other Card 2
Name: Kyuubi-Sama
Effect: Only as Uzumaki Naruto can the Kyuubi card be utilized. This card awakens the giant demon fox in Naruto's belly, allowing him to lend his chakra to the user for increased ninjutsu ability. The Kyuubi has a mind of his own, and will often communicate with Gregory, who does indeed add the honourative "sama" to Kyuubi's name when speaking to him.

RP SAMPLE: (I'm using one from another on site rp- hope you don't mind.)

"Aw, crap!"

Those were the last two words that went through Jack's mind when he hit the water, and the first two that occured when he resurfaced. "And while I'm at it..." he muttered, adding a few other choice curses to the end of the sentence, including a few ancient ones taught to him by Sonja. He stared at the remains of the ship directly below him- he had been lucky enough to be thrown onto the rocks by the incoming waves, but not everyone aboard had been so fortunate. He removed the fishing pole still slung across his back, and swung it out across the water, a silent salute to his departed comrades. He brushed back a tear, as memories of the people aboard the boat began to march through his brain, completely unbidden. The crew laughing and joking with each other, the younger soldiers excited to enter their first battle, the Captain, who had been the only one not to laugh when Jack's nose had begun to bleed after staring at one of the Scizor on board, and most of all, his friend Ryou, who was undoubtedly at this moment lost beneath the waves. A wandering artist and historian, Ryou had been travelling with Jack for just over a month now, and had become a friend almost closer then a brother. Ryou's last wish was to chronicle the war from the perspective of a soldier, and to bring the story to the people when it ended. Now it seemed as though Ryou would never see his dream come to fruition. At least, Jack thought, my Pokemon are safe...

His Pokemon!

"DAMNIT!" Jack screeched, leaping up. He had forgotten about his Pokemon, who had been outside of the small red-and-white spheres he wore in his jacket during the time of the crash. If they had been hurt...

"Rai! Audrey! Sonja! Sabine! Where are you! Are you-?" he yelled in a panicked voice.

<Cool it, chief, we're right behind you.> said a small, sassy voice. Jack turned, and began singing praises in his brain. There, behind him, was his entire team, wet but nonetheless OK.

"Well, glad to see you're here- did you notice if anyone else made it out?" Jack asked, staring at Sabine. The Cubone's photographic memory meant she would have the best idea of where they were.

<No. None save us- but there was quite a bit of water around me, and I didn't get a good look.> replied the small bonekeeper in a monotone voice.

"Well then, any idea how to get off of these rocks and onto shore?" asked Jack, wringing water out of his vest.

<I could extend my vines, and use them as a tightrope to get to land, then jump myself.> offered Audrey, shaking the water off of her petals.

"Thanks for the offer. Alright, team, let's go." Jack commanded, waving his arms as Audrey fired her thorn-covered vines toward shore. Jack hesitated, weighing his odds- then decided to speak up, hoping that the shock of the crash would keep Audrey from killing him for complaining long enough for him to reach shore. "Um, Audrey?"

<Yes?>

"Could you, maybe, you know, tone the spikes down just a little?" Jack asked in a plaintive tone.

With a groan, Audrey shook the vines, causing the thorns upon them to vanish. Jack took the oppurtunity to run along them before Audrey realized he had just complained about the quality of her vines, motioning for his other team members to follow him. They needed no second bidding.

As Jack approached the beach, he thought back to the reason he had entered this war- Grace. She reminded him so much of himself, and he would willingly have allowed her to join his group if it had not been for the fact that she was already owned. She had been killed by those freaks with the guns as well- and now Ryou. Two of the best people in his life snuffed out by the league soldiers.

If Jack had had any regrets about joining the army, they were gone now.

RP SAMPLE:

The blast was immence, a huge hole was in the side of the building and three people shrouded in darkness walked into the room, and I ran. I ran as fast as I could, running into another room and hiding in a corner, finding a strange little watch on the ground. In all but a second it jumped onto my arm and was stuck there. Being me, I did what any sane teenager would do. I freaked out. I flipped over a table, I screamed, I ran in circles, and into the wall. I bit the thing and pushed at it with my feet, trying desperatly to get my wrist free. With no luck whatsoever. I inspected the thing more closely and took out my cards, four of them, seeing that the slots were the same size as the cards. This was the company that made the cards, so this must be one of the devises they were talking about on every chatroom in the world. The holo-progector thingys for the game.
