Welcome to Gaia! ::

Happy Birthday..in advance. ^^

Wow. Bastards. Never been robbed that bad (last part key words here). Sympathies.

Also: idiots. Which was good for you. twisted

OMFG.
Kingdom Hearts sucked so bad.
No offense.
I prefer games like Final Fantasy 6 (3 for the SNES), Chrono Trigger, etc.
Old fashioned RPG's with their crappy graphics.
Okay, okay.
Kingdom Hearts didn't suck.
I was actually addicted to that game for a long time.
Anyways...
I still prefer the old school RPG's than the new ones.
Because what they lacked in graphics, they made up for in Game Play and Story.

Well, I'm confused.

Final Fantasy 6 (3-US) was God's gift to the world. Hallelujiah. Amen.

Thank goodness YOU are alright too, Fen. I mean, I'm sure you would've killed them or something if you had caught them, but still...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OKAMI! ((not belated, I wrote this part at 11:30pm domokun ))

Fen: Aww.. how sucky. Glad you got most everything back though.

Kai and Asa: I approve of your teaching about joints or whatever. Maybe you two can give dean Fen a whole new smoking experience. 4laugh

On Disney: Older movies are the best of them. Never seen sleeping beauty. Love Beauty and the Beast, Alladin, Robin Hood, and Alice in Wonderland. No favorite person. The gypsy in hunchback was allright looking. >_>;; Also, I like Alice's dress. She shoulda been older... (*Yells at the absent cipheralex*I do not have a girl complex! scream ) And there should be Alice dresses on gaia, unless there's something I can make look like it. *goes to see.*

On candy names: 100 Grand >>;

Candy names are so fun to say heart blaugh

Kai again: Love is the opposite of oxygen. You need oxygen to breath, while love takes your breath away.

While I'm on love (and eg couples): Luna doesn't really think about that kinda thing. She's mostly always been concerned with not going crazy (and later living/supporting herself on her own) to stop to worry about relationships. That combined with a slight subconscious hesitation against nonmagical people (various reasons) and the fact that most non mages have kinda feared her to some level... yeah... pretty much never came up.

.-. I don't know what'll happen now that she's fixed all that. XD but in any case, the possible canidates that she would have been with are no longer part of the rp u.u so sad.


*musing time*


Hmm that's got me thinking about Luna in general... she's the daughter (and youngest child) of a blacksmith and a silversmith/moon mage. From a young age, she was taught how to make crafts, and also how to use moon magic, with an elder brother to help/practice with. .-. So she learned magic well enough and how to use it to support herself with magical items... ao she was never really a student at the tower (just there to learn some control), nor did she wonder what she would do for a job in the future...

She was also taught some blacksmithing and how to fight, though its not like her parents were master warriors or anything, but her mom had travelled a lot and thus had learned how to fight since their powers tend to be indirect, and sometimes direct damage is needed... given this, Luna's fairly strong although she has a habit of avoiding fights... She's like 5'7 or 5'8, so she's... kinda taller and strong. XD she certainly wouldn't ever be a damsel in distress, more a warrior maiden or amazon.

Powers wise, she's kinda odd because normally her powers would be indirect only, but since she's used to making things, she can construct things out of magic which allows her to not just make illusions but actual solid fake things. (that are fragile like glass though)

Personality though... .-. considering things that I've said, I wonder about that myself. I cast any changes on her mind being fluenced by magic, but hmm .-. she used to be a well adjusted, if shy girl. Though with her brothers death, I imagine her having become more introverted, though not hating the other people. More being scared that she'd do the same as her brother *coughcough* Having no one really to stand up for her in the same way as an older brother, she probably became more bold and lost her shyness... She always had that seemingly inborn concept of people bringing misfortune upon themselves (as part of her not taking responsibility for things) so she never hated anyone, not too much at least, though probably became kinda scared that they'd do the same to her when she earned it. She's basically well behaved, nice, and fairly but not overly polite.. that much probably remained. Definately not a hateful person.

hmm... in wandering, she probably became fairly distant from people, trying not to be around the when not buying or selling cause of mild fear of them killing her, and any leftover shyness, and not wanting to mess up their minds. Also having to take care of herself and support herself from her mid teens, presumably she would have become more mature than you'd expect of her, yet... I've felt that she has a kinda carefree (to an extent) kinda attitude, and now that she has nothing to worry about, she's probably not much of a plan ahead type. She can take care of herself .-. but I seriously wonder if she can take care of the tower.

Going back to the love thing, I never contemplated if she had any crushes previously to leaving her home... I assume at least a guy or two liked her and she liked some guys, but between her shyness and her brother's probably overprotectiveness I doubt she had much guy interaction. (That and the fact that she could probably beat up most of the guys in the town. .-. Although she's not particularly that way in my imagination, and really is more of a non confrontational, dress/skirt wearing, more... like feminine type, .-. it's kinda hard to not think of a girl raised as a blacksmith even in part and had some fighting ability wouldn't be semi tomboyish.) Most of her teen life was about not ending up dead/insane, so no time for guys then. She would have feared desperately for them. .-. so I suppose she's completely innocent minded. I assume she's be shyish again if any guy really expressed a like in her, for lack of knowing how to respond to that, if nothing esle. ... .-. just the same, I kinda get the impression that she's sort of flirty at times, but doesn't comprehend that she's actually flirting. XD as far as this subject goes, she's "innocent." On the subject of taking lives however >_>;

As a side note... I doubt she'd make a good mother, but she's only 18 and has time to mature her mind. Maybe teaching will help her learn to be responsible towards others. Speaking of that I assume she's sort of a general not thinking much teen, though she is very intelligent and not absent minded, but a bit daft and sometimes empty headed (not dumb, but as in whoosh, nothing at all going through it, staring into black space kinda zoning out.)

Hmm though not shy, she's probably quite introverted and distant from people, and presumably not too sympathetic of them cause of her "it's your own fault" way of thinking. Given her powers, she's highly emphathetic.. but yeah, as Asa pointed out a while ago, she's probably not symphathetic in the least. sweatdrop .-. so she's not prone to care much about anyone beyond general friendship things.

Hmm apperances too .-. I've never mentioned much of that... her skin is permanently almost pale (by which I mean it's super light even with decent sun exposure, and approaching albino if she stops going into the sun for a period of time.) now though, and the mark on her palm may or may not be permanent. Not short... hmm attractivity.. she's not "stunningly beautiful" or anything, but is hot just the same, depending on your tastes. .-. not particularly large or small busted, right kinda curves... .-. she's not exactly a thin girl, just a slim one. Has some noticible muscle form in her arms in particular, cause of blacksmithery and fighting, but nothing huge. .-. if she was very thin, she'd probably look kinda like a fit, maybe athletic type, but the stuff she does have smooths the muscles out and keeps her from looking like that. In shape basically, just not excessively in shape.

Anyway.. yes guild members, I'm still alive. No I'm not rping tonight.

Away! *whoosh*


Edit: Oh yeah, on rpgs.

Old rpgs: Fun in a retro kinda way that all old games are fun. New rpgs that use squished cute type characters have the same effect on me. All of them are kinda the same though. RANDOM GROUP OF ADVENTURERS SAVE THE WORLD BY FIGHTING RANDOM MONSTERS!

I'll admit I never really payed attention to old rpgs much, other than liking the character art I saw in stuff about them. Unless you count star tropics and shadowrun (genesis) as rpgs. The only rpgish rpg I think I played was super mario rpg I think though.

PSX era rpgs: These are the ones I like best. Technology for great music being one reason. (Not that old game music wasn't good, but rpgs work so well with the kinda music that started with the psx era systems. The vast majoritiy of rpgs I've played are psx ones. Fun innovative things. Persona, grandia, thousand arms, star ocean 2, jade cocoon, some others I forget.

PS2 Rpgs: I've been largely uninterested in them and though they are pretty, they tend to suck pretty hard. I've gone to strategy rpgs mostly.

Strategy rpgs: My favorite genre. Parties with decent amount of members engaging in mini wars. Even if they don't necessarily have the greatest of stories all the time.

MMO: Pointless levelling. While this could be good, people are doing it totally wrong. They need to focus on one of three things(of which there are games like, but everyone should be focused on as opposed to the way they are now):
A: Doing a Diablo 2 kinda thing, with just a small group doing a storyline over the net. It'd keep the story part and with a way to make your own stories, make or customize maps and enemies and npc, you could keep things fresh.

B: Doing things more like what we have here but online. Give general ways to build your character(classes and skillsets that you could mix and match), and opportunitities to actually roleplay. Make a character, toss them into a world, and have them interact with others so that they can actually make their own stories, and such. You >could< do this now, but it's suck. This would need more openness, like ability to just steal whatever, take over places, cause massive effects like taking over towns and countries, player run business, economy, societies, and the like. Course, this would probably require more realism and characters to actually die forever when killed... as well as much motivation and control over the virtual world. But at the least, they could have stories that actually progressed and did stuff, and weren't just useless background. In this it'd be more an adventure/action rpg than anything. (Actually if you didn't die as easy, and it was permanent when you did (maybe some extra life system or ressurection system) it could be a good pay scheme. Buy the game, and just pay like $5 per made character. The only time you need to pay again is if you die.)

C: Give everyone a general goal to do. i.e. online pokemon. People would compete to be the best in areas and the world over. They'd raise and train, and hopefully they'd be able to die so that you could keep having to raise more and have something to do besides fight. This could also have people trying to save the world or make a name for themselves in a certain period of character life. This could even just be a constant series of general quests that all adventures did. (Kingdom of Loathing does this incredibly well. Always have something to do.)

Even mixing togetehr might make something good. As it is, it's more like "here's some background, here's some monsters, go forth and kill over and over!"

-_-; even if it was just a pretty world where you just hung out in and just so happened to be able to earn powers it'd be better. Just need more freedom of movement and minigames to entertain. The ability to hold, throw, catch, hit, and kick a ball would do wonders.


On Final fantasy: I don't like them that much. This is not square's strong point. Although I haven't played many (and I don't care to) I'll say this: FF7 is a good game. People have forgotton this. It's not a great game cause I dislike final fantasy's fight system, and this game was a graphic whorebait in it's time, but looks like s**t now. Worse than s**t. ><; so ugly. But it had fun, a semi decent story, and memorable parts, like dropping the plate on the slums below, the motorcycle part, the snowboard part, the Weapons and just the kinda modern to futuristic world in general.
FF8... was a fun game. Not was in retrospect, was as in the first part of it. Gunblades, Gardens, Quistis, spider bots, triple triad, futuristic-ness... but then it got shitty with the plot twists and general mehness of the story. The part when Seifer killed the Odin summon in one hit was cool though, but meh to that. I'm not interested in the series anymore cause of that. I still think the suckiness of that went back in time and messed up memories of FF7 for people and made them hate it too. Such is the power of the suckiness of FF8. Screw the older ones too if they have the same general battle system, and they do. So screw em. FFT = Great. Along with Tactics Ogre, made me a fan of strat rpgs more than any other type of rpg.

On (formerly known as) Square: The need to give up on FF series and focus on other stuff. They do everything else SO much better. Horror creep out games: Parasite Eve 1&2; Shooters: Einhander; SRPGS: FFT, Non FF rpgs: Plenty; Fighting games: Tobal #1.

Yah.. >_>; square enix isn't exactly impressing me. They both need to move to other things.

RPGs are allright when I wanna see a pretty world and laugh at funny things and interact with characters that have personalities. I feel they need to just add that stuff to action games and be done with it though.
