Secret Character Selection

(Note; you can vote for more then one character)

Warning, a challenger approaches!
Ha ha ha...

So when I made up my list of characters I thought would be cool to add I kinda forgot five of my big characters.
Well it started that I forgot one that I remembered today, then I was searching through my sketch book and found four others which I had completely forgot. Some of them I'm rather ashamed I forgot them.
So since I can't edit the poll that's already up a threw another one up underneath it. Since you can vote for and many or a little as you want this shouldn't affect much. Please still vote for the ones you like.
The second poll ends at the same time as the first one. If you don't like any of the new characters, don't vote for them.

Alright let me introduce you to the secret characters that I newly added...

Cailrew
Here is a guy I haven't given much attention to. He came about to be one day when Rick wanted me to play D&D with him. So I followed Rick to Nick's and I made a character. The character was this; Cailrew. He's a druid who wields a scythe. I'm not entirely sure what a druid is or what they do, but the thing I can remember about him is that he can transform into a bear! Wicked cool!
Cailrew is a bit on the pudgy side. My only pudgy character. His costume is rather complex, much more so then I was able to draw in my cute rendition of him. I'm pretty sure he lives completely in the forest and shuns civilized live.
Actually I never got to play as Cailrew. Rick and his buddies were in the middle of a campaign when I joined so they waited until after to add me. Only after they finished it they quit for the day. So i spent the four hours they were playing drawing up Cailrew. So now I have a character who design is complete but his story is a blank canvas.

Alex
A dark hero who doesn't talk. Ashamed by the dragon blood that pulses through his veins Alex serves a king to repent for a day when he wreaked havoc on the world. He is almost silent all the time until his father is mentioned. His father is a horrible man named Blank who can control Alex with wave of his hand. He is continually trying to control Alex to observe his destructive capabilities. Lucky Alex has gained some friends in the castle who stand by him, including the secret love of his life; Aqua a magician who can control water. However he doesn't know that during his rampage he destroyed her entire family and secretly hates him.
This story has evolved through little clay people me and Cara made as children. We would play with them and make up the most intriguing and fascinating stories. Cara is actually more of Cara's character then mine but he is the main character and I know enough about his plot that I consider him a valid choice. I find it kinda funny that they live a a medieval fantasy world, yet Alex wears sunglasses.

Kara
A cute young girl whom wanders the streets smiling as brightly as she can. However first meetings can be deceiving. Kara is actually a horrible monster. She makes whomever she can fall in love with her and take them to a place where they can be alone. Once she does, she then proceeds to rip out their hearts. She is searching for the perfect heart. She has a bit of a complex between the evil side of her and the sweet and innocent girl.
Okay... so I kinda just made that up. I don't know much about Kara. And I actually didn't realize that that's my sister's name with a 'K' instead of a 'C' until just now. Kara was a character I was going to use on yet another Kingdom Heart's site. She was suppose to be a VERY advanced Heartless. However I never got around to making her. So all I have left of her is the doodles in my sketch book. I thought she was interesting enough to include in this contest. I'm also interested in dissociating her from Kingdom Hearts.

Jaser
A hardworking youth who works for a powerful king to turn the tides of war. Jaser is the apprentice of a very reputable swordsman named Rave. Jaser has no family and has been strictly taught sword arts from Rave ever since he was little. Jaser can become very moody and gloomy if left to his own devices. He has an unwanted need for attention and with discourage himself in order to receive it. Jaser's spirit is actually infused with a fire demon. However the their spirit's were united with unnatural means his fire powers are coloured purple and corrupt. The kingdom that Jaser works for is strange and a conspiracy theory is blow into the mix when a mission Jaser is sent on goes horribly wrong.
Jaser is the main character of an RPG me and Brad were making for Writer's Craft. The game play is actually pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. However we were only able to create a demo for the class to play. But event eh demo is like three hours of game play, So i don't mind that much at all.

Klinge
A while ago I was making brave and bold protagonists. So Klinge was my attempt at an anti-hero. He never actually surfaced in any of my works but I do have a certain respect for the character.
Klinge is a dark mercenary who'd just as well slit your throat then fight the demon terrorizing your home. The cool thing I wanted to put for Klinge is the fact that he wears his most valued marks. That's why there is that horned demon on his shoulder and some beast fun on his leg (Okay I know it's a marooned coloured blob, but it's suppose to be fun. Fur I say! Work with me)
Klinge fights demons and beast to find his daughter. He had a wife and daughter once until a demon snatched them away from him. The demon turned his wife into a monster and Klinge was forced to kill her. He wore his wife's wedding band on his arm after that. Klinge hunts for this demon to kill it. And depending on the condition of his daughter, her might have to kill her too.

So hopefully those are all the characters I can possibly think of. Pleas evote accordingly.
After much thought I do believe Klinge and Rigar are the only characters I came up with on my own. (I remembered that the original Gix was made up by Tory and myself)
And I only have three female characters; Tarala, Rari, and Kara. A lot of 'A's and 'R's in there.

I suddenly realized that out of a lot of people I know and consider close and creative, Rose is the only whom I do not share a character with! Now I feel like I must mend this problem!

I almost feel like I'm documenting my stories here now instead of gathering a poll.

Alright this poll battle is heating up! Let's see who wins!

Character Selection

(Note; you can vote for more then one character)

Hey all.
I've been having a rather busy and entertaining week/weekend since I blogged to you last. What can I say? I am one content man. I can't really think of anything significant to blog about that you don't already know so I'll pick up from my problem

Perhaps you see the new poll on the side. I really need you guys help about which character to do.
I know, I know, You're asking "What is this for?"
Well it's for school, my only motivation for anything I do.
There are two classes I need this for. The first one is Digital Imaging. I need to draw up a character and colour it using photoshop. Figging hard eh? So i figured I might as well draw up a character I already own and know everything about.
The second class, (and the more exciting project) is for stylistic drawing. In that class I need to draw up a character in a Front side and back pose and then construct a model of it in about eight to ten inches in height! I was so friggin pumped for this assignment.

I was originally going to make myself as the the lion, but as I was doodling doodles about it, my teacher came around and looked at me funny. HE even sketched me up with lion ears and I looked... reaaaaally weird... so felt rather dumb and I decided not to go with that idea. Now I want to do one of my main characters.

So without further ado I will introduce you to all of them so you can make your choice.

Prince True
This is actually a really old character, the first main character me and my sibling came up with. His adventure is that of traveling away from his kingdom to save a lovely princess. The people of his home town were plagued by the law that decreed that as long as the princess was away everyone had to stand on their heads. Prince True fought monstrous sized Oogers and even braved crumbling caves.
As it stands his character design if very open, this was just a quick idea I had for him. I believe I was around the ages of six to ten when we came up with this guy.

Alexi
This blond Hero is there barer of one half of the stone of life. The other half is inside his true love. The fair maiden Danny. They broke it when they where little and the broken pieces had resided inside each of them. The life's stone's counter part, the death stone, seeps it's way into Alexi's father and the horrible man named Kyru is born. Alexi is thrown into adventure when is home town is burned down and the race to stop Kyru from destroying everything he holds dear starts.
He is a prankster whom acts before he thinks. Heroic and brave he lets his silly side appear now and again.
Alexi was in the first (and only) Role playing game I had completed. Along with Jessica it took us a full year to complete it. Alexi also marks the first time that I really acknowledged Jessica as my older sister so he holds a special place in me.

Shawn
The head general for a top research assignment military project. He latest product that had been released is a suit that uses element to function. When the project is sabotaged and the pieces of the suit are in jeopardy, Shawn dons the suit and sets out to destroy the monster whom seems to have created an army of Zombies.
Shawn is from a game me and Shane have. The plot is sorta my idea and Shane hasn't confirmed it yet, but Shawn is still our main character for it.
I could have him wearing the suit instead of his street clothes, only the suit's design changes whenever a new element is place in it... and I haven't determined the idea for any of the suit's designs. I'd probably stick with fire most likely.

Aden
Formerly known as 'Tair' I changed his name because Tair and Tairisinuse is names that I only use on myself and not for not me's. Aden is from the Manga me and Travis Thomson made called The Infinity Rule. It starts off with Aden being entered into a strange blood bath contest where all contestants are given a weapon and a photo of someone they must kill.
Being thrown head first into the contest he enters a world of strange weapons and hidden villains. Will Aden be able to survive in a contest where failure equates to death?
I should also mention I'd probably include Aden's weapon with him.

Ince
Once me and Jessica finished the RPG featuring Alexi we came up with a new idea. That idea was what gave birth to Ince, the grandson of a god. We were going to create an RPG like I said but after I slacked off Jessica wrote a book about Rown (Ince's god ancestor) and then complied a trilogy out of the works. Which she must get published soon, or I kill her. Anywho I still claim some rights to use Ince. for school projects and things like that.
Actually if you're interested, you can read Ince's Story; Method Six. I'd go into more detail about but I don't want to ruin the story, because it's amazing!

Tarala
Once again me a Jessica started to plan an RPG, this time it would be staring Tarala. This story is set in a fantasy future where two tribes of humans argue about their origins. Neither group acknowledges the other as human. However things start getting sticky when every single baby being born is a still life. sixteen years have passed and Tarala was the last known baby to be born. Desperate for answers Tarala and the other residences of Ash Gate must solve this mystery not matter at what cost. Even if it's associating with those non-humans.
Tarala has been spoiled her whole life and is a kind of celebrity. Although her main trait is the fact that she bumbles a lot. Hince her love with bumble bees.

Jagger
Abandoned when he was a child Jagger was raised by animals. Not use to human ways he's in for a world of learning when a sword takes him away from this animal parent pack and on a hunt to find his true parents and concer and darkness that resides within him. Is it possible to catch someone who's always running away?
Jagger is very serious. He doesn't make jokes, and he doesn't get them. However he receives titles like silly and weird because of his wild origins.
ALl that aside he is very interested in making friends.
Jagger originally came from a Kingdom Hearts role play site, but I was interested with his character so I disassociated him from the popular franchise. Nothing has been made with Jagger since I stopped RPing as him years ago, but I still plan to create something out of his story.

Malice
A dark man with eyes that pierce and burn. He is afflicted with a strange toxin that has given his hands the ability to create fire. An underground cult kicks the story into action when they murder King, Queen, and young Prince of the Royal family. Lila is the only survivor. Malice risks everything to save her from death and to make up for his horribly dark past. He doesn't smile, he is too consumed with his past.
Malice actually gave from an idea Emily and I came up with last summer. She began writing a wickedly awesome story about Malice and Princess Lila which I am excited to finish reading. (Go Emily go! Write write write!)
I'd share it with you all if I could because I do love it so.

Rari

After I tired of Role Playing on other people's sites I decided to make my own. After much planning I created one (only to have it shut down a couple weeks later).
Travis Thomson is my co-hort with this one. Actaully we plan on creating a short comic about it.
The protagonist of this story is actually a man named Valentine. However I know nothing about Valentine because he is Thomson's creation so I'll stick to the character from the part of the story I know.
Rari is the highest angel in Vangelize. full of angels and those who have done good deeds in their life, Vangelize over sees Vancore where humans and Valentine dwell. Father out of sight is a place where demon dwell called Venagiest. Vangelize and Venagiest have been at war with each other before the start of time. There is also a leader of Venagiest. When a person from Vancore dies they are sent to Vangelize or Venagiest. Rari lived and died and arrived in Vangelize. However her lover ended up in Venagiest. Forever bitter she dreams of the day she can destroy the middle ground and reach him once more. Unlucky for Valentine the middle ground is Vancore.

Rigar
Here is a pretty big no-body as far as acknowledgment goes. I Role Played as Rigar (formerly known as Ryu) with a role play site owned by Trish.
He is a self proclaimed Paladin who carries a heavy burden. He lived with a group of Monks and worked as a trainee dreaming of the day he could begin sword play. A cursed sword was brought before the Monks. Unannounced to Rigar, he tested the sword. The curse took over his body and he went on a rampage. Finally coming to his senses he found out that he had murdered almost every Monk in his home. Even his beloved master. The monks placed two blades near the tip of Rigar's cursed sword sealing the curse with in the blade and Rigar's body. Banished from his village he search for a way to calm the guilt inside of him.
Although he is given a horrific past, self righteousness and poor charismatic skills seems to surface quite a bit.

Gix
If you've followed my blog from the beginning you probably know who Gix is.
Gix is a strange youth who had befriended a strange man named Zefer. Gix has completely devoted his life to serving Zefer. He only truly feels happy when he's made Zefer proud. Gix is the embodiment innocence. He discovers that he excellent marksmanship when they discover a gun. Living in a shack with Zefer only lasted so long. Soon Zefer is being hunted. Gix's innocence can only last so long with everyone out to kill Zefer and Gix holding the most power to stop them.
I kinda just realized that Gix is the only character I own which is souly mine and not shared with anybody else.
I've currently stopped Gix's story but I might be picking it up again after school ends.

Anyways that's all the characters I own(-ish) that I can think of. Please vote at the side for your favorites to help me decide which one I should do. Also it wouldn't hurt that if I missed any details about any of them or you want to argue a case for one of them, to do that int he comments of this blog post.

Thanks all!

Rush a Dream

Hey, last night I had a really weird dream. I was dreaming that I was home and so was Dad Shane and Cara.

IT was raining really hard and I had just came home. I walked in the door and was greeted by everyone there, then I sat on the floor. Shane Cara and Dad all rushed to the window. Apparently somebody was taking away the random hot tub that they had installed. Dad and Cara start getting mad and Shane buggers off somewhere.

Then all of a sudden my throat starts to close as I'm sitting there on the floor. I couldn't breath. I tried to say something but my voice was only a little whistle. Cara takes off outside to stop the hot tub repo men from taking our hot tub and Dad chases after her yelling that he'll do it.

A couple beats pass and I am now clutching at my throat. begging for air. I remember losing feeling in my feet. Nobody around to help and unable to move the thought crossing my mind; "I'm gonna die."
Cara then comes in from outside, and she looks rather angry that Dad sent her inside. She's drenched from the rain. Only her expression quickly changes as soon as she looks at me.
I'm losing feeling in every part of my body my hearing goes silent and I feel my strength completely sapped from me. I tip over to the side and am going to hit the floor. Only everything pitches into slow motion My vision starts to blur as I see Cara rushing to catch me. She's in the right position to catch me, but before I can feel it my vision completely fades to gray and I can't feel anything anymore except the rise and fall of my breath.

I can only think to myself breath in, then out. That's all I'm focusing on. Then I remember that it is a dream and I wake up with my breath still breathing in time.

I checked the clock after I woke up and realized it had only been ten minutes since I last checked the clock. I gave myself a test 'clear thraot' cough. My throat was fine.

Where did that come from?


Anyways after that my sleep was really nice and pleasant.

I went to school today and forgot all of my materials. Mikki was depending on me for information about this class because last week she missed it. So I told her I'd run home and get stuff enough for both of us. So I take off running.

I ran most of the way and speed walked/jogged the rest. Kinda felt good to run again, but on the way back my strenth was completely sapped I felt like I was running on pipe cleaners.

Well I got there in any event, a little out of breath but nobody seemed to notice. Mikki thanked me by buying me a coffee. I lost of course but it was nice to have some.

I was quite pleased about my effort today. So I had to blog about it as soon as I could, And that dream was so vivid I wanted to share it.

Anyways in regards to my blog last night don't read it. I'll sum it up for you;

A Little Lost and Lonely

To start this off; a song I like, plus the mood is sorta a 'somber one in the morning' type of mood.

Not a lot happened today.
Not a lot happened yesterday.

I was able to hang out with my friends some more. I get scarily lonely, so I'm always glad when one of them wants to tail me home or stay for a bit after class to talk or simply to hang out.

Tonight I find myself questioning my art ability.
I've always viewed it as something grand and I in some way but showing it off to people I was showing them what they could never hope to do.

I've been humbled again. Well probably for the umpteenth time, and probably many more times in the future.
A little while ago, I was talking to Mary about the amazing twins Sam and Seth. I was talking about how much I liked their work, and Mary said that when they get into animation they're gonna just kill.

I was kinda taken a back by this. I almost wanted to say, "well what about me?" but I didn't because I think I already know the answer.

I saw Sam today. She was in a class that was teaching Flash. I was so curious I snuck into the class and asked her what she was doing. Apparently she had been to the teacher's wedding sot he teacher allows her to go into the class room and learn what he's teaching.
Damn I was jealous. She was animating a dude to this line. And it looked pretty good.
So not only are people way above my level in art fundies but their already learning animation. I feel a little lost because of it all.

I think I'm the parent of my group. I scold people for staying up late, or not doing their work or talking in class, or saying things that are not nice. Even though I do all of that stuff too.

I also got a little bit of backwash of how dependent I am. The thought entered my mind when I was talking to my mom a couple of weeks before my reading week, and I wouldn't let her go. She kept saying how she had to go... but I wouldn't let her.
But not even an hour earlier she was talking to Shane on the phone. And Shane was the one who let her go, he was do talking before she was.

Today I got two phone call, and in both of them the other person had to let me go. I know it's a weird thing to get upset about but after hanging up with both of them I just felt so lonely.

So today was a happy day, nothing bad happened, but still I find myself a little lost and lonely.
Thank goodness I'll be heading out to Guelph tomorrow.

Well I'm off to brush my teeth and then to bed.
Night everybody.

Glossy Sunshine

Yesterday I felt like crap... for no reason at all. I actually didn't realize I was feeling so crappy until Emily kept asking me if something was wrong via msn. The only thing that happened yesterday was I was searching through my freezer to get my food stuff which always gets pushed to the bottom.
She stayed up late last night with me and made me feel better.

I wrote my blog whilst feeling weir dos sorry for the weird emo blog post yesterday.

I had a pretty rough sleep last night. I kept waking up every forty five minutes to roll over or sit up a adjust. I can remember continually looking over to the clock until six o'clock rolled by. Then I can remember Mikki calling me up on my cell phone at nine. My class started at nine. I rolled out of bed and grabbed a bowl of cereal. Then I quickly hopped in the shower.

The water pressure was abnormally low, but with no time to thing I lattered up to have my water cut off... I had to towel the soap off. The grossest feeling I can think of.
Then Mikki informs that some work that I didn't do last night was going to be due tomorrow and I had to give it to her today. I skipped my first class to finish it. This almost sounds like a FML moment.

Anyways once I finished I put all together and headed off to school. I read a notice posted by the elevators... that the water would be turned off until about 5:00pm. I was wearing a hat to cover my greasy greasy hair. I then had digital imaging. It was pretty fun, nothing in creditable to remark.
A highlight of my day was after that, I grabbed a Sub from Subway and Andy, Cam, Mikki, and I all sat outside and ate lunch/dinner enjoying the sunlight. We talked for like three hours out there. Cam had also introduced us to the previously mentioned site: FML. We spent the a good hunk of that time listening to Cam read stories off of the list gasping, aww-ing, and laughing. We hung out so much today. Seriously the sun was starting to set.

Me and Andy went home and did some homework and hung out a little bit more. Mostly slacked off on our camera assignment though. damn.
Oh well I'm happy about how today turned out.

Oh and if Shane reads this can you forward me a solid to-do list? I foresee some spare time int he next couple days and I thought I might as well do some work for you. Also I'm interested in your input you provided me about switching to my jobs thing... or where you just being sarcastic?

Oh and how'd you all like to see yourself dressed up in your fantasy character job?
...
Stay tuned! ♫

For the World-Weariness

Today I woke up and I was refreshed, I sprang out of bed and moseyed on down to my kitchen and had breakfast then... then there was nothing to do.

Well I suppose I had some homework to do so I went and picked up supplies to do both of my assignments. I got home and received a call from Mikki. A lot of things I got were postponed till later... so instead of getting a head start on four things that I have due soon... I played animal crossing. And I seem to have animal crossing set up in such a way where I lay on my bed to play.

Only I get so increditably relaxed I wind up falling asleep. It's such a good 'put you to sleep' kind of game.

Then I woke up at ten...
My refreshed feeling didn't last through the nap. I've felt groggy, sore and fat ever since. Which sucks because my day started off so well, and now I've hit a low for no reason at all.

It's like deep down I just want to explode with creativity! Make some grand for others to ogle! To rise above the crowd, and bring my friends and family with me. Become recognized and still live my simple life.
Blah
Emily gave me an idea. She told me to write something writer's craft worthy, so I thought I'd give it a shot before I went to bed...

But I've scribbled a few things down and I didn't really like anything I put...
Maybe I've lost my writing touch. Not that I ever really had one.
I really do have a desire to express and create... but often laziness stifles it a turns it stale.

Uggh now I've turned my blog into a pointless lament. Stop that Travis.

But before I hit my funk I was developing a list of weapons and some common traits that they all share. If you care to give it a look see just click.



I started out arranging them alphabetically but then I gave up. ha ha.
I still have some need to create everybody I know as fictional fantasy characters. I don't know why this is something I feel like I must do... but I must!

So with that I suppose I am wondering what weapon would suit your fancy? Hey wait... hold that, maybe I'll create a quiz for you all to determine your weapon. Well maybe, we'll see.
I think tomorrow I post my list of different elements. Or possibly my revised version of the job classes from yesterday's post.

I should take a poll, do you guys care about my latest fantasy character involvement? Or am I just being weird?

Off Again

Today was a rather exciting day today... then the climax had a cliff fall of falling action.

I woke up and made Emily Breakfast! She was quite happy to be served breakfast in bed I think :).

However the celebration was short lived when we figured out that instead of 9:30 am her next bus home to Guelph was actually 5:50 PM. This was a problem because Emily had to report to crew call at noon. Luckily I solved the problem by finding a via rail website, and a train left there at eleven o'clock sharp! So me and Emily promptly went back to sleep for twenty more minutes. Then we headed out all the way to union station.

We in such a hurray it was like watching a movie where you're on the edge of your seat, time ticking by and your flying down the subway trains. You're going as fast as you possibly can but is it enough?
Well indeed it was because we arrived there, and Emily bought her ticket with a couple odd minutes to spare before the train left. Emily was out of sight before I got a chance to blink twice.

Then there was just me all the way in Union subway station. I felt the question 'well now what?' cross my mind. Emily fled with all of the action following her. So I went home I suppose.

I went home Played some animal crossing, then I went online... and now it's brushing up on three at night...

I certainly know how to waste time.

Well I've been playing with these ideas in my head. I'm so enthralled by the idea of everybody close to me having a separate battle class, (by that quiz I had most of you take) I feel like I've collected some valuable data from all of you and I should be using it. So I decided to venture off to my own little imaginary world. Off again to imagine my pointless wonderings once more.

SO i decided to post some battle job class related material that I've been thinking up recently (and not so recently).

The following is a chart like deal I've sort of cut and paste together.
To follow it simply start:
'This is a job class' -- 'this is an upgrade of that class'
--'this is an indirect upgrade of that class'

Anyways here they are:


Freelancer --- Onion Knight

Fighter --- Warrior
---Defender
---Gladiator

Chemist --- Scholar --- Alchemist --- Arithmetician

Monk --- Black Belt --- Judgemaster

Thief --- Assassin --- Ninja

Archer --- Ranger --- Hunter

Squire --- Soldier --- Knight
---Paladin
---Dark Knight

Fencer --- Lancer --- Dragoon

White Mage --- Bishop --- Devout

Black Mage --- Templar --- Magus

Blue Mage --- Animist --- Beastmaster

Time Mage --- Orator --- Illusionist

Red Mage --- Sage

Mascot --- Puppetmaster --- Evoker --- Summoner

Berserker --- Morpher

Elementalist --- Samurai

Trapster --- Geomancer

Rune Knight --- Sorcerer

Gadgeteer --- Machinist
---Sky Pirate
---Land Rider

Gunner --- Sniper

Juggler --- Gambler
---Dancer
---Bard

Mime


I have a secret wish in my head that someday I'll be able to make a wonderful RPG that will become as famous and as loved as Final Fantasy. With all these elements and ideas and class I can make/semi steal. I bet I could make one of the most interesting RPGs out there. But something tells be Shane doesn't want to go into the RPG game direction.

Yup that's the list.
Tell me what you think and/or if you think there should be anything added or moved.
Maybe I'll go more into this tomorrow if any of you guys are as interested in it as I am.

(P.s. I didn't blog yesterday because I was really hoping for more comments on my last blog. But apparently no one took the bait. *pout*)
