YOU  HAVE  DIED  BEFORE  YOUR  TIME.

"Well, yes, I should think so!"

DO  YOU  HAVE  ANY  IDEA  WHY? IT'S  VERY  UNUSUAL.

Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time.

I tag... planetes ,wolfraven80  and... shimizu_hitomi 

I find cats generally adorable. Not sure what else to say on that topic, but I will link this instead.

It's that meme again. Post snippets of your Works in Progress on your journal.  Stolen from wonderful_words

Halo

 

( Triple Entanglement )

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire Emblem

 

( The End of Days )

Original Setting

 

( Eve of Apocalypse )

Results are... not good. Had to appeal.. But that said...

Merry Christmas all! Hope it will be great for you people, and I bring you...

The first five people to comment in this post get to request a sketch of a character of their choosing from me (only from fandoms I know). In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their drawing ability level. If you absolutely can't draw, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drabbles or icons or something instead.

If you are not sure if I know of a certain fandom, feel free to ask.

And this set is from Voltei

1. Being the video game enthusiast, what would be your favorite gaming series and why?
Gaming series...  That is hard, though I would think say the Freespace series edges out Half-life. Just by a little. Especially Freespace 2. It is just about all I want from a science fiction flight sim. Not too much of that "You are the special one" vibe, and the capital ships in the game and kill each other faster than you kill them.

2. What traits attracts you to characters in fiction? What traits repulses you away from other characters?
I like my characters to have good intentions. Too many other arbituary traits to list, but I think the common baseline is that they must be willing to do good. What repulses me? The opposite. Characters who are motivated by bad intentions. I suppose bad and good are really subjective, but you could consider the social norm, for one. Doing good being helping others and doing bad to be otherwise. Simplistic, I know, but I do not want to get into applied ethics here, haha.

3. You seem like a well-read person. What is your favorite book/series?
Battletech, easily. Military science fiction with great characters (sometimes, at least). Political intrigue, huge battles, romance in some books. I love it. Honorable mention goes to Discworld. Death himself is epic win.

4. How did you get into rping?
I do not exactly recall, but it was in primary school, I think, when a bunch of us started to do some impromptu games. We have a game master who lay out the plot and setting, and we get to play the game. Looking back, it was extremely similar to those PnP RPGs, except the setting and all were original. And at the whims of the GM, haha.

5. How would you describe your fashion sense? What do you wear on a daily basis?
None-existant. I usually wear T-shirt and pants. Comfortable, and with a decent color combination to not look too outlandish.

1. Reply to THIS post, and I will select four or five of your userpics that I like.
2. Make a entry and talk about the icons I have chosen.
3. Other people will then comment on your entry and you will do the same as I have done for you.
4. Thus creating a NEVER ENDING of icon squee.


Hatake Kakashi, from Naruto. I found this icon apt. He had mentioned that all his loved ones had died, and at the end of Part One, where his team basically dispersed with their own mentors... I do not think he deserved such abandonment.


Same  character as above, this time him sitting at the Memorial Stone, where all those killed in the line of duty of his village had their names carved on, and possibly all his loved ones' names. And the words... 'Lost on the roads of life' was an excuse he had given when he was late once.


Marisa, from Fire Emblem 8. I just found her smile very.. soothing, especially coming from one with her reputation.


Made this for an RP, but nevertheless found it nice to use. Seta Soujiro, from Kenshin. Right after he lost the fight with the titular character, and had experienced an dramatic shift of his life's focus point.

1. That thing you do, by The Wonders.
What can I say, absolutely love it.
Lyrics snippet: 

You doing that thing you do!
Breakin' my heart into a million pieces
Like you always do.
And you, don't mean to be cruel.
You never even knew about the heartache
I've been going through.
And I try and try to forget you girl
But it's just so hard to do.
Every time you do that thing do!

2. Ten Years After, by Chihiro Yonekura
Ending theme to my favorite Gundam series - The 08th MS Team. Upbeat, which I like.

3. The Journey Home, sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, theme of Ace Combat 5
A nice soothing piece, which embodies the ending well.
Lyics snippet:
The journey begins
Starts from within
Things that i need to know

The song of the bird
Echoed in words
Flying for the need to fly

Thoughts endless in flight
Day turns to night
Questions you ask your soul

Which way do i go?
How fast is too slow?
The journey has its time within us

If a man can fly over an ocean
And no mountains can get in his way
Will he fly on forever
Searching for something to believe

As asked by wonderful_words

1.) You're writing a romantic tragedy, Seth/Eirika, and of course, in order to that, you have to kill either Seth or Eirika off. Who do you choose to kill, and why?
Seth. Both of them would be equally devastated if the other died, but I think, for Eirika, she still has the emotional support of her twin, Ephraim, and her royal duty to Renais. A long period of mourning, but she might still be able to pull through. For Seth though, I always see his loyalty to be more personal, which is to the twins, and to a larger extent, Eirika herself. If she dies, he has nothing left. I do not mean to say he will become another Orson. I just feel that perhaps he will simply do missions or patrols until he dies. Think along the lines of general Selena.

2.) Do you believe that a man and a woman who are physically (or sexually) and mentally attracted to one another can remain just friends in real life?
What, they are not married?!?! Physically and mentally attracted to one another sounds like the perfect lover's material. Or maybe not. Unless by attracted, you mean similiar to what friends may share. Still, I suppose it ~is~ possible, and not just because said man or woman is homosexual. I mean, just on the level of friendship, there ~must~ be some level of attraction on both the physical and/or mental level, yes? One certainly does not feel any repulsiveness. So, the same thing applies, even to the other gender. Sexual attraction could be just something... hormonal? Temporary? And then, there is the case of fidelity. What if said people are already married to others? They would probably remain just friends as well.

3.) Let's say your very best friend (male or female) starts to avoid you. Would you have any idea as to what the reason might be? If so, what? If not, would you want to know?
No. So yes, I would like to know.

4.) Do you have a fictional "hero"? If so, who and why?
Mmmm. If I have to take one, it is probably... Jason Bourne. From the movie-verse since I have only read a little of the books. His ability to read the situation, sitting in a cafe and knowing how out of the few vehicles parked outside, which one probably has a gun hidden somewhere, the escape routes, the people. His desire to amend his mistakes, to make sure those who wronged him get exposed and not get killed by him simply out of vengeance. And of course, him helping Nicky out in Ultimatum.

5.) Are you close to your parents? 
Quite. I live with my mother, since my father has to stay in Taiwan. So I am closer to my mom. She can be walking comedy sometimes. 'Oh no, I am always 28.' Well yeah, that makes me.. 1?

And now, off to tuition and then lunch date with mom to celebrate mother's day. Might be a while before I replied to anything.
