IHMN-Yeah, I should...in terms of plot. I guess I'll go with my second idea. N'Revat is starting to look like the Empire from FF VI.

N'Revat is still of the Order
Rab is still of the Freedom

Alan-I know what you mean, and sorry if I seemed like a jerk. The BM academy was fun, but I'm just looking for a bit more Plot-Oriented (Story shall always be more important than battle to me) rp.

It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I don't want such a powerful, and rather unexplainly motivated, character so soon. I have given a couple people permission to be quite powerful (now or later on) because it suited the roles they had.

Change your character to make it suitable if you wish and I'll see if it works.

Others-If you guys have been jerks to him (like I think I sorta was), apologize. I meant to give constructive critism when I addressed him, and if you didn't...well, say sorry at least.

I remember godmoding major first time to the old boards, and I was treated fairly well after that mistake. I don't want to start a cycle of insults.

I don't think it's really to late for Celes to join in... We aren't really a group yet, and I'm not sure we are going to be... Ecurt, after this is some wierd thing going to happen to force us to be in a group together, or shall we remain seperated?

Besides, BM and Cruelity joined, but haven't posted yet, so you could easily jump in, you having been a trained Dragoon warrior, it would make sense that you are in one of the armies... N' preferable, since Rad seems full

Well, if I joined in right at this point, I would at least want to wait until tomorrow to post... I'm having the worst writers block.... I mean... I've been sitting here trying to think of what to write for 'Perdition' for about an hour now (doing other things too, of course ^_^; ) but still.. I know what I want to happen, but I can't think of how I want to write it.... I have really really bad writers block at the moment... >_< I hate writer's block... But if I absolutely should post now... I'll try to find away to beat around my writer's block.

Name: Naras Itak (All "a"s as in Spanish, "e"s as in Spanish, too. i.e., a = "ah", e = "ee")

Physical Traits: Age 58, with a wiry but able 5'7" frame and white-streaked black hair tied up in many medium-sized dreadlocks. His hair's also tied with several decorative beads and ribbons, and his ears are pierced with dangling earrings that have very small and ritualistically decorated beads on them. He wears many thin and light robes; his outside robes colored deep red, and his inside robes colored a dark brown, with many elaborate embroidered ritualistic designs and tassles sewn on. Normally they hang off of his shoulders, closing at his waist where a sash of cords keeps his clothing closed.

He carries bags of potions and ingredients with him, usually tied to his sash or slung over his shoulders in small leather slingbags. On his feet are a pair of simple leather mocassins, padded on their soles with hardwood covered in leather for durability. Sometimes he wears a headdress of feathers, but usually only for show and effect when mooching the locals for cash. He has dark eyes and very dark and heavily wrinkled skin. His face is worn thickly with both smile lines and frown lines. He always carries his bow and quiver of arrows on his back when travelling, because sometimes a wild animal is better food than what can be bought at taverns. Or so he thinks, at least.

Class: Shaman

Main Skill: Raises spirits of dead animals and summons spirits of nature's creatures to augment his allies' abilities.
Secondary Skill: Makes potions of pretty much every type: Healing, mana, status-curing potions, augmentation potions...

Background: Naras was born into a small Indian tribe on the edge of N'Revat territory, into a family where his father was a shaman. He followed in his father's footsteps, as was tradition, and learned all about medicine and the secret arts of his tribe's shamen. He picked up several talents, ranging from creating healing potions to potions that could temporarily summon a spirit of nature to aid a warrior in his or her fight. One dark night, on his fifteenth birthday, his father took him aside and shared with him all the secrets of Spirit Summoning.

Over the next few years he proved to be a promising summoner of nature and a good healer, and was guided all through his apprenticeship to become a true master of his inherited craft. So it was that when his father died, he took his place as his tribe's leading shaman, and was even given a seat on the ruling council. But during his thirty-eighth year, a gang of marauders raided his village and slaughtered most of his people. It was only because of Naras and a band of six warriors that a mere twenty of his people, of over two hundred, survived. After this, he was the only member of the Council left alive, and so ordered his people to find a new home, or perhaps move to one of the N'Revat cities.

Which option they chose he'll never know, for he set out on a journey and explored the countryside as a traveling medicine man. He blamed himself for allowing his spirit shield, which had originally protected the village from attack, falter during the raid and allow the marauders to enter.

He's spent his last two decades roaming from one town to the next, province to province, and has built something of a small reputation for himself. In a certain corner of isolated Rab territory, not more than a few cities small, he's known as the 'Badlands Miracle Man', for his feats of healing and where he comes from.

Extra info: He travels with his pet falcon, which sits on his shoulders everywhere he goes. Sometimes he lets it fly off into the sky, then he comes back later on to share what he's seen with him. Kind of a pet scout.

Pre-Rp Relations: None right now, but if you like, he can be.

Well, I'm bored shitless and just waiting for more things to happen so I can post a bit more... so if you want you can tell me what you want to happen in PMs and I'll help you write it.

Note that this isn't so much "I'll help you!" as it is "I'm bored, gimmie something to do."

I'm terribly sorry I haven't posted. I usually sleep at 1-10 o'clock AM. For you that is 6-12PM. I'm really sorry, will post now.

Mr. Viewtiful
12-29-2003, 02:07 PM
Here's my Character Profile, okayed by Ecurt himself.

Name: Blyr

Physical Traits: About 6'2" in height, and 18 years old. Is slightly muscle-ey, but his speed is greater than his strength, although both are slightly above-average. Has a light skin tone, brown eyes, and short brown hair, which he keeps in a slightly spike style. Mostly quiet and collected.

Class: Geomancer. Blyr is able to draw out some of nature's inner power, as he has grown up in it for his whole life. He doesn't know too much, but he tries to learn more as he encounters different enviornments to draw from.

Secondary Skill: Trainer. Much like his friend Ripel, Blyr also keeps a pet Green Chocobo, named Toc, who was an affinity for the Earth element. Toc's signature attack is the ChocoQuake, which causes a small quake around the chocobo.

Background: Blyr was raised on the border in small villages, but ever since he was about 5, he spent most of his time out in the forests. He enjoys being in nature, and can use some of nature's power. When he heard his friend Ripel joined the Rab army, Blyr was quick in following suit.

Extra info: He has had his Chocobo as long as he can remember. Elderly in the town say he had him since he was born, but Blyr doesn't think much of the matter. Also, he can use the Longsword with some skill, and keeps one with him whenever he goes into battle.

Pre-Rp Relations: Grew up as Ripel's friend, he and Ripel often had races with their chocobo, competed in 'duels' and even represented their villages when in the Village Challenge of Skill. Ripel usually wins the skill challenges due to his Mighty Guard ability, but not by a large margin...

12-30-2003, 09:18 PM
...When Ecurt writes it up...

Although I'm curious how this will work, since alot of our characters now hate or almost killed other characters...Arc and LWM's char, the two generals...and I know my guy is gunna burn out the corneas of IHMN's eyes...

Krylo
12-30-2003, 09:20 PM
Hopefully soon. I wanna see his little write up about how the Rab forces dealt with the attack from both sides... and how things worked out with the airship crashing on the N'Revat soldiers... yah.

Dante
12-30-2003, 09:21 PM
My guy is essentially neutral. If N'Revat can reach him with a better offer he'll switch sides.

IHateMakingNames
12-30-2003, 09:23 PM
The airship probably hit some Rab forces too... It's not easy to steer a crashing ship from the engine room...

Dante
12-30-2003, 09:26 PM
More like "completely impossible" unless they have some kind of viewscreen on the inside.

IHateMakingNames
12-30-2003, 09:27 PM
And FF doesn't have view screens... This is FFVI technology, and I don't remember any screens...

BMHadoken
12-30-2003, 09:29 PM
Although it really doesnt matter...she crashed into the middle of the battle, lotsa people died, both sides, end of story...

Darth SS
12-30-2003, 09:32 PM
So, which side is considered the "good" side by chance?

And on a side note, I haven't picked a side yet because Arc really isn't on a side. He's been in the mines for the past 3 years or something, so he's not up to date.

Dante
12-30-2003, 09:34 PM
Don't worry about the morality of sides... for you it might be good to try and catch up with Carolina.

Truce
12-30-2003, 09:34 PM
Heh, it'll start when I think up a name for the chapter, and if someone can get a list of the characters and post it here, seeing as I'm a bit too lazy to check back at the moment.

Oh...and when I type up the scenario too. That'll be a big part of it.

Darth SS
12-30-2003, 09:35 PM
Actually, he probably is going to go and catch up to Carolina.

Dante
12-30-2003, 09:38 PM
Chapter name: Exodus.

IHateMakingNames
12-30-2003, 09:39 PM
I random name is not good... The title should be some what related to the plot of the chapter...

BMHadoken
12-30-2003, 09:40 PM
Exodus?

Nah, we're not really escaping...

Dante
12-30-2003, 09:42 PM
So what the hell is going to happen in Ch2? My guess is Ecurt gives a recap of the war, then starts a new plotline. Or something. In which case "Before the Breaking" might be good.

Truce
12-30-2003, 09:50 PM
There will be little fighting, that you can be sure of. Unless one of you decide to...but the fight isn't going to be initiated by one of my guys.
I see it more as a 'in-between' thing, the character interaction being th focus, because in Chapter 3 they'll be taken somewhere. That's when the save the world cliche shall probably enter. Or not. Who knows, other than me?

Dante
12-30-2003, 09:53 PM
You know, I have the feeling Arc is going to end up as the reluctant hero. But hey, what do I know about what the Great Lord thinks?

IHateMakingNames
12-30-2003, 09:53 PM
I think Arc is going to end up as the groups punching bag

Dante
12-30-2003, 09:54 PM
Stop being an evil bastard, IHMN... XD

He's already *your* punching bag...

Darth SS
12-30-2003, 09:57 PM
Go figure. The time I do a guy who isn't a great fighter and doesn't have experience or something like that, he ends up as IHMN's bitch.

*goes to massacre a small island*

Truce
12-30-2003, 10:08 PM
Heh...Thieves often do get Ninja type skills in FFs I notice.

I'm not saying anything though, for all you know Boco could be the hero. You never know...

Actually, I have something planned for everyone, some of you know what that is, some of you are still clueless. Either way, that's the way I wanted it to be.

Truce
12-30-2003, 10:13 PM
Well...Locke had the skills (other than throwing) of a ninja. He could equipt the stuff Shadow could, and with Thief glove he attacks and takes an item.

Err...yeah.

Dante
12-30-2003, 10:19 PM
MEh. So when does Arc become uber l33t ninja of doom, like Junpei?

Do you have something planned for me? ^_^ Even though my character hasn't shown up yet, I'm still keepin' up with stuff. ^^ Speaking of which, do you have any specific part that would be the best time for my character to jump in or any ideas? 'cause I'm open. ^^

Darth SS
12-30-2003, 10:27 PM
Dante? Arc is kind of a ninja.

He's just slow and meticulous. Not speedy. He tries to hide, and move slowly before picking locks and stuff. Not drop in, kung-fu them all, kill the leader and dispose of the body with lightning fast efficiency.

Hell, he don't even kill that often. In fact, he's never killed before.

Dante
12-30-2003, 10:32 PM
Too bad. I thought you were going to be like watzisname from Shinobi... Stealdash, stealthdash, stealthdash, then tate.

Zephie
12-31-2003, 01:19 AM
I was just waitin' for a time to jump in discreetly.

Looks like I'd better hurry up, then, in Chapter 2...unless Chapter 3/4/5/6/etc. has a place for me? o.o;

Krylo
01-07-2004, 12:09 AM
Has anyone else noticed that this is starting to resemble Final Fantasy Tactics (the first one) only placed in an FF6 world? With the war story, no one really being the good/bad guy undeniably so far, and people's loyalties changing so that we don't really know whose side they're on?

We have Ciaran, the seemingly heartless/sadistic general of N'Revat, who gives rather... unethical orders... one of the few 'obvious' characters.

We have Dante, the hired magician, whose allegiance is unsure. He kills those who should be on his side, as well as his enemies.

We have Deamon, the N'Revat mercenary who just recently sent the anti-magic technology away to god knows where (presumably to the Rab forces, but we can't be sure it's not to a third party or someplace for himself).

We have Cecil McDoul, who seemed to be an N'Revat general until that last post, which no one saw icily, but betrays him as having somewhat difference allegiances.

Dezil, the seemingly good-hearted engineer, who follows Ciaran's unethical orders perfectly (and efficiently).

And then we have Elyse and Luce, who seem ready to switch sides, simply because theirs is losing.

And, caught in the middle of all this is Ripel, who, for some reason, I see as becoming the unlikely hero, because he's the only one whose remained constant in his loyalties and seems to have a strong moral code.

Personally, I'm loving the way this is turning out with all kinds of intrigue and backstabbing, as well as good amounts of blood shed. Really though, it's beginning to remind me of the story of FFT, and that's very much a good thing.

Dante
01-07-2004, 12:27 AM
He kills those who's suppsoed to be on his side? Pal, Dante is on nobody's side but his own.

Krylo
01-07-2004, 12:38 AM
Yes... but he's supposedly been hired by the Rab, and he just killed a bunch of them. That's kind of what I was pointing out, there's no clearly defined 'sides' for anyone. Nothing's clear. It's intriguing, interesting, and to sum it up 'cool'.

Forever Zero
01-07-2004, 12:41 AM
You summed up Dezil pretty well, like you said, Dezil does his work efficently, and while he may not enjoy doing some of the things he has to do, he knows it is for the better good since he believes in the N'Revat cause and knows that some things must be done in war for the greater good. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the war ends and how Diezal will respond to the events to come.

Also this is turning out to be an interesting RP so far, and I'm liking the direction it is going as well. It's fun coming up with reasoning for Dezil's techno-weaponry and the future should be pretty interesting for the RP overall, especially as I come up with more techno-gadgets for the N'Revat, muahahaha...

Truce
01-07-2004, 03:37 AM
Heh, you know, now that I think about it, this does sorta seem like FFT, only it seems one side has quickly gained an upperhand.

So far, the likely heros are Ripel, Blyr (unless he follows the Kain rule of RPGs and switches sides), Ark (the thief who still has yet to choose sides), Carolina (the thief's friend and reluctant WM of N'Revat), Clique (That side character you get for a little while until they go away and die/leave forever). Oh, and the chocobos, Boco and Toc. Can't forget about the chocobos.

Villains...well, Ciaran, Dante, Demon, Elyse, Luce, and Dezil (at the momen he follows Ciaran unquestioningly) seem to be quite villainy. Take away the NPCs, and the villains outnumber the heros. I find that quite interesting.

If all the villains join forces it would probably cause trouble. It would actually be interesting for a final fantasy to have the villains win actually...or at least tie.

'Course, there's the unknown factor of those who would jump in...we don't know how they'll come out.

Bleh, sorry, just woke up and I might not be making sense.

01-07-2004, 06:35 PM
I think not only is there a third party, but a forth, and probably a fifth...

Mr. Viewtiful
01-08-2004, 12:54 AM
First off: Thanks, Ecurt! Somebody noticed my character! Yay!

Second: Who's Kain? Is he cool? I'm sorry, I've only played these FFs: Tactics, Tactics Advance, VII, IX, and a little of VI, and I don't remember a Kain...

Third: Yes, this is reminding me of FFT, too. One of the greatest stories ever told...er, played. Although, I think there's a bit too many plot twists so early, and I think there will only be more.

Forever Zero
01-08-2004, 12:55 AM
Oh heck yeah, this RP is going to be a rollercoaster of twists and turns, and the more the better I say.

Kain is a dragoon from FFIV. I haven't played it yet, but everyone says it's good so I shoould probably play it sometime. I believe the refrence is because ay some point, Kain has his mind taken over by the bad guys.

Krylo
01-08-2004, 12:57 AM
First: I noticed your character... but you're kind of... undeveloped, so I didn't really know where to place you. Hopefully Ripel will break you out and you'll make more impact on the RP soon.

Second: Kain is a dragoon from FF4j, he was Cecil's (good guy) best friend in the beginning, but is hypnotized by Goblez (bad guy) and becomes a quasi-villain for most of the game.

Third: I'm thinking things will be just what you think too... I'm not 100% sure what Ciaran's next move will be... well, I know what I want it to be, I'm just trying to think of a way to do it.

Zephie
01-08-2004, 01:07 AM
I'm starting to think that Naras isn't going to be such a good fit for this RP. It's much more military-themed than I thought it'd be, and my character's not really a soldier or anything of the sort, so, um...I might pull out.

Maybe, I still don't know yet, and I can't find a place to pop in. :-/

=============

EDIT: Response to the Dante post where he slaughtered the government and his response to Dezil: *applause*

Truce
01-08-2004, 03:22 AM
"Their fate, you see, has already been decided."

Definately one of the cooler moments. Pity that we can't get square whatever to make an actual game of this RP.

Well, it looks like Rab are going to scatter after this battle, not giving up but not in a full fledged war either. Ripel and whoever he helps to escape will probably wander too.

Forces so far

Ciaran, Dezil, Elyse, Luce (N'Revat Force)

Ripel, Blyr (Rab/Soon to be drifters)

Ark, Carolina (Sidelines, may join other faction)

Deamon (Himself)

Dante (Himself)

Nara, other characters (Invisible...for now, they haven't appeared)

As for the military aspect, it would seem appropriate to start an FF like this, seeing as we never really do get to see full scale wars amongst nations.

Chapter 4: Results of what happened...obviously. When I announce when the chapter will appear please PM me to tell me the status of your character. Basically, tell me their current faction and where their loyalties lie.

More info later..bleh.

PS: Anyone feel like making a RP quote thread? Heh.

Zephie
01-08-2004, 03:33 AM
That'd be cool. ^_^

I know a few threads where some funny and cool ones are. ;)

Mr. Viewtiful

First: I noticed your character... but you're kind of... undeveloped, so I didn't really know where to place you. Hopefully Ripel will break you out and you'll make more impact on the RP soon.

Hopefully...it doesn't help that breaking out probably won't happen without getting someone (i.e.: me) killed, but you never know. And I hope my last post in the thread gave some of that much needed character development...

Mr. Viewtiful
01-09-2004, 10:33 PM
Zephir: I think you'll have an opportunity to jump in in the next chapter, but you'll have to ask Ecurt to make sure.

Oh, BTW, would SS and LWM like to join in Me&Ecurt's 'party' for the next chapter?

I can't wait for the next chapter to come up...Ecurt has been giving me hints on what will happen, and it's gonna be good...

Krylo
01-09-2004, 10:57 PM
I think they're going to end up joining your 'party' if they want to survive after what Ark did to a few guards. Also, I really hope Ciaran doesn't have to actually fight Dante or Deamon down the road. Especially Deamon. Antimagic wouldn't even help with him.

Oh and Ark, on the whole accusing IHMN of godmoding... you didn't give him a chance to dodge the knives either, and if he's the fighter version of Dante I'd assume he could have. Or at least one or two out of the three... or moving so they didn't hit any tendons. So... yah. God mode to stop a god mode, I guess.

Mr. Viewtiful
01-09-2004, 11:01 PM
Agreed. I wouldn't want to take either of them head-on, either. Although, everyone is defeatable, granted they don't get god-moddy.

And Cieran can simply use his nasty and sadistic tactics to lure them into a trap, or freak the heck out of them with you floating skull avvy };^)

Zephie
01-10-2004, 01:35 AM
I'll be (and have been) waiting for a good opening...but right now it's looking like that might be a chapter or two down the road. I don't mind, I'm patient.

My two cents on godmoding:

***

Heh, it's been my experience that people hate having their characters get injured, or even simply touched, whereas I seem to be sadistic with mine...I definitely won't shy away from taking a near-fatal hit, for example. I guess I'm the anti-godmoder :p ...

...The Weakling-moder! Haha! xD

Forever Zero
01-10-2004, 01:58 AM
Wfile I don't think Dante would be such a problem for a squad or two of Anti-Magic Magitek Armor, since all the overlap would be nearly impossible to penetrate, but since Deamon's skills don't seem to come from magic, just sheer brutal power, he would be harder. Hmm, perhaps Dezil has something new to design in the future...

Dante
01-10-2004, 02:40 AM
Well, there are ways to deal with anti-Magiteks, even at Dante's current power level... It's not as easy as mowing down rooms of idiotic politicians and their mook guards, but there's always a way...

Mr. Viewtiful
01-10-2004, 01:32 PM
Meh. It's not too hard to take down a steroids-using maniac, or an uber-powerful mage (judging by appearance, not character, so take no offense). You could always hire ninjas...I mean, ninjas could beat just about anything...and if you hire ninjas form the Ninja Burger Crew (http://www.ninjaburger.com/nbcrew/), you could probably get a burger while you're at it!

Okay...I know that idea was kinda dumb...and it probably won't work...but this comic series is to cool to not be known! *evil laughter*

Forever Zero
01-10-2004, 01:50 PM
Off Topic, but I had a great quote from one that comic once in my sig. I need to check back up and see how it's doing, haven't looked at it in a while. And yes, enough Ninja can solve any problem.

Truce
01-10-2004, 05:54 PM
Zephir, you can be one of the King Preos' (ruler of N'Revat) guards. You'll understand soon enough.

Also, Mr. Viewtiful and I made sort of a blooper reel while we were talking about the RP. It was supposed to be for an Omake thread of the RP, just for some laughs. By the way Krylo, I'm sorry but your guy ended up somehow being DOOM! maniac. You know, like Zim. It's somehow so easy to picture him just yelling DOOM! all the time.

Anyone interested? It would just to post how things could've been, had the universe been seriously on drugs.

Krylo

Hey... if it's an Invader Zim reference I'm honored to have my character be the target of it. And hell yes I'm interested... let us see!

I think we will come in to the plot later. And if it turns out we have been removed from the plot, Dezil is going to lead a revolt with the Magitek Armored troops and take over the Kingdom of N'Revat...

Dezil-Well, he's an officer of Ciaran. I assumed the rest would be there too. Though, rebellion sounds good soon. It's exactly what Ciaran wants as well.

Others-I expected them to have their various reasons. Luce and Elyse have just switched sides, so they may want to speak to Preos, Dante is a mercenary, and Deamon..well, he's sorta N'Revat.

Shhhh... You'll see soon enough FZ. Just wait a bit, and all will become clear. Just kinda... be on detail in the city or something for now... and you'll get a chance to pick sides right quick.

Hmm, I am more than a little intrigued...

Alright, seeming as IHMN was wondering about the planning room and what have you, I decided to draw up a VERY simply floor plan. There's more bedrooms, and some hallways seperating them and what have you, and the storage areas on the ground floor are various rooms... oh and the reason there's nothing over the ballroom on the second floor is because the ballroom ceiling is raised. Anyway, like I said, it's very simple... I probably even forgot some rooms, but this will give people a general idea of what it looks like, for the purposes of getting around. And no, I will not do the same thing for the castle... a mansion with rooms missing was enough of a pain.

Naras...an N'Revat guard? A Shaman from the Badlands...an N'Revat guard? O_o

Nothing personal, I just don't get it... ?.? I was just waiting for them to come through a town randomly so I could have him selling potions and get picked up...or somethin'...

Since I didn't know where to put it, I'm gonna post up some Omake me n' Ecurt made! It rules! Yeah!

#1: by Ecurt
Ciaran: I shall PWN yo' 455es! Doom I say! Be the Rab Doomed!
Dezil: Err...I think I'll just go and...I'll just go.
Ciaran: DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#2 by Mr. Viewtiful (continued from #1)
Soldier #154: General Cieran, why is the ship shaking?
Cieran: DOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Soldier #356: Err...check the prison cell!
*in Blyr's prison cell, we find a parked stretch black Escalade, with some heavy metal playing full blast*
Tyrq: Dang, that's some great bass!
Blyr: Yeah! Too bad Ripel ain't here!
*camera moves to Ripel, as the massive bass knocks him off his feet, and he lands face first on the ground*
Announcer: Ripel learned *Massive Head Thumpin'!*
Ripel: So that explains my headache

#3 by Ecurt (continued from #2)
Ripel: So Ciaran, we meet again. This time...you will fall by my hand.
Ciaran: Oh it's you. Well, what can you do against the power of my unstoppable DOOM! p0\/\/3r5?1?!1/1 tm?
Ripel: This: "Limit Break, Massive Head Thumpin'!"
Ciaran: WTF?
Ripel: *Flashy effects happen until Ripel summons up Blyr's Escalade* Unleash your ultimate power!
Ciaran: ...you are stupid and not DOOM! material. I think I kill you now. DOOM! *Charges*
Ripel: *Smiles, snaps fingers, and the ground starts shaking due the 1337 power of the Escalade*
Ciaran: *Trips, knocks himself out* Blargh, I am knocked out, even though I still be speaking.
Ripel: I woop'ed yo' a55! *Starts doing the victory 'dance', which is just spinning around and pumping his fist in the air*

If you like this stuff, we can make a thread about it (or sumthin')! And it will rule! And DOOM to those who thinks its not funny! WAHAHAHA!!!

Dante
01-12-2004, 08:57 AM
There's an omake thread. You can use it. It's just next door...

Truce
01-12-2004, 04:45 PM
Also, I already posted those. Tsk, tsk, you weren't paying attention man. :P

Mr. Viewtiful
01-12-2004, 05:50 PM
Oh. Nobody told me about that. I still think it's worth mentioning here, just in case they didn't know about the thread (i.e.: me).

*puts on announcer voice* GO TO THE OMAKE THREAD FOR OUR NEXT EPISODE! YEAH!

[EDIT] Hey, does anyone have a theme song for their character? I just found this one for Blyr.

so long, astoria
The Ataris

It was the first snow of the season,
I can almost see you breathing in the middle of that empty street.
Sometimes I still see myself in that lonesome bedroom
playing my guitar and singing songs of hope for a better future.

Life is only as good as the memories we make
and I'm taking back what belongs to me.
Polaroids of classrooms unattended.
These relics of remembrance are just like shipwrecks,
only they're gone faster that the smell after it rains.

We said that we would never fit it
when we were really just like them.
Does rebellion ever make a difference?

So long, Astoria, I found a map to buried treasure.
And even if we come home empty handed we'll still have our stories
of battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts,
broken bones and all the best of friendships…
this is my wish and I'm taking it back, I'm taking 'em all back.

Dante

If Dante had one...

Gates of God - Gun Barrel

A child was born in the valley of kings
In the dark age of the war and pain
His father told him how to fight
And he gave the son the sword of might
To the king of the lords
The king of the lords

Find your way, defend the poor
You've got the courage and be shure
The kingdom will be born again
You will find the way to the neverland
The gate of the gods
The gate of the gods

And he moves Into a battle start the crusade
The warrior of death
He's got a heart full of rage, the power and the blade
The warrior of death
Out in the fields, they fall down one by one
Nothing can stop the king of the lords the king and the god

Tell me my father, tell me who I am
Am I the chosen one, will I be the king
And will I go to find the way,
To the Promised land
Tell me if I will survive and will I carry on

The gate of the gods

Years gone by and the time has come
People said he's the chosen one
The kingdom it was born again
But he couldn't find the neverland
The gate of the gods
The gate of the gods

He told his people: "Fight again"
They ask him how to find that land
He said they have to go to war
And they will find it at the end

And he moves into the battle and start the crusade
The warrior of death
He's got a heart full of rage, the power and blade
The warrior of death
Out in the fields, they fall down one by one
Nothing can stop the king of the lords the king and the god

Tell me my father, tell me who I am
Am I the chosen one, will I be the king
And will I go to find the way,
To the Promised land
Tell me if I will survive and will I carry on

The gate of the gods

Listen the last battle cry
Gravestone tell's you that he died
People said that in the end
He has found the neverland

(This is the first song I could think of that I actually know...)

Bodies - Drowning Pool


Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Beaten why for
Can't take much more
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give
Now
Let the bodies hit the floor
Push me again
This is the end
Skin against skin blood and bone
You're all by yourself but you're not alone
You wanted in now you're here
Driven by hate consumed by fear
Let the bodies hit the floor

(For Deamon, will be made more obvious later...)

Dante
01-12-2004, 07:06 PM
Heh. I liked that song too.

Mr. Viewtiful
01-12-2004, 10:19 PM
I think both of your choices work very well. Especially Daemon's, IHMN. I find it kinda amusing that your choice of theme song is also my choice for Nightmare's (of the Soul Caliburs) theme song :)

Dante, I've never heard that song, but it sounds good on paper :D

DOes anyone else have a theme song for their chars?

The other option for Dezil is the music you hear in the Imperial Factory in FFVI, but I'm listining to it, and Daft Punk does work well for Dezil.

I thought of one for Arc.....

She Hates Me
Puddle Of Mudd

Met a girl, thought she was grand
Fell in love, found out first hand
Went well for a week or two
Then it all came unglued

In a trapped trip I can’t grip
Never thought I'd be the one who’d slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

She fuckin hates me
Trust
She fuckin hates me
la la la la
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

She was queen for about an hour
After that shit got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling of bad, no

In a trapped trip I can’t grip
Never thought I'd be the one who’d slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

Chorus

That’s my story, as you see
Learned my lesson and so did she
Now it’s over, and I'm glad
‘Cause I'm a fool for all I've said

(Chorus)
She fuckin hates me
la la la la la la la la la la
Trust
la la la la la la la la la la
Trust
And she tore my feelings like I had none
She fuckin hates me

Okay, I'm gonna make chapter 5 soon. Just telling everyone to settle things in this chapter if they feel like it. Anyway, when I create it I'll try to make definate locations or sets of possible locations for everyone so you all know where you're at or can be.

Do not hurt me, these are off the top of my head, and I'd like to apologize if there's anyone I failed to offend... Oh,a nd if you have never heard of the songs before... well, you have Kazaa right?

Dezil and Ciaran: Hymn to Red October

I can just imagine Dezil going "Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger more than ever hour after our work is never over...etc." and doing the dance.

Ark: Lightouse's Hanging By a Moment

Carolina: Beyonce Knowles' Crazy in Love

Ark & Carolina: Sarah Brightman and some spanish guy's Amigos Para Siempre

Dante (alternate): Powerman 5000's Operate, Annihilate

Deamon (alternate): Bawitdaba

Dante vs. Deamon: Matrix Revolution's Navras or Duel of the Fates

Ripel: Pretty Fly For a White Guy "Give it to me baby... Ahah ahah!"

Blyr: Dead Eye Dick's New Age Girl

Mr. Viewtiful
01-13-2004, 08:50 AM
No, I don't have Kazaa. I used to, but after hearing all of the companies sueing families that had Kazaa, I dumped it. FAST.

I'm gonna look up the lyrics to these, though.

[EDIT] I never found the lyrics to that last song, Dante. Do you know any good lyric sites that I could look that up on? Or even post it here?

WHAT ABOUT ME! I'm still in the RP. I'm just waitin for chapter five. I hope it start with morning. Here's what I though would fit Elyse

Garbage: The World Is Not Enough

I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No - one ever die from wanting to much

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start... my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart... my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will

{Bridge:}
(I... )I feel safe
(I... )I feel scared
(I... )I feel ready
(I... )And yet unprepared

The world is not enough {x2}
No nowhere near enough...

This might work for Dante...

Demon Cleaner
I've got the demons within
I've got to brush them all away
I feel the demon's rageI must clean them all away
Yeah, yeah...
Excite to scream them away
Cobwebs in the wayThat magic cleaner oh
Shine his smile on meYeah, yeah...I am the demon
Cleaner who saves the day
I get the backwal
lAnd important they'll always stay
Yeah, yeah...
If only one thing that you know
Imposters from the show
They'll try to trick you into
Normal treatment
Oh don't you listen to them say
Shush them all away
I am the demon cleaner
Madman so
I am the freedom cleaner
Standing naked here to say
I'm the only way…

(Just thought of this due to that Red voice guy inside of Dante...)

There's a song I heard a while ago that would work for Ripel, Blyr, and Arc in the Omake thread. It went like this:

Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?

*insert verse here, I forgot words*

Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?

*insert second verse*

Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?
Can you hear us, thumpin' on your stereo?

Mr. V - New Age Girl lyrics follow...

I've got a new age girl
(Tell us what she's like)
An environmentalist girl
(Does she ride a bike)
She has crystal necklace
(She spend a lot of cash)
Though her vibes are rather reckless
(She's heading for a crash)
Oh her flowing skirt is blowing in a transcendental wind
And she wonders without knowing where did she begin..

Mary Moon.. she's a vegetarian
(Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon.. will outlive all the septuagenarians
(Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Oh, she loves me so
She hates to be alone
She don't eat meat
But she sure like the bone

RAH

You knew she drives a wind car
(How does she like it)
It doesn't get her far
(Why doesn't she bike it)
But it gets her to where she's going to
(I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)
Where that is, I wish I knew
I don't know where she's going
And I don't know where she's been
All I know that loving her has gotta be a sin

(Chorus)

RAH

Mary Moon will you hesitate
Don't segregate your thought from your emotions
I know that devotion isn't way up there

RAH

Mary Moon.. she's a vegetarian
(Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon.. will outlive all the septuagenarians
(Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon.. She's an intellectual
(Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon.. Despite that fact remains quite sexual
(Mary Moon, Mary Moon, Mary Moon)
Mary Moon.. She's the one for me, me, yeah

RAH
