Are you serious about delving into the mind of a writer?

Pen Name: kbxshadow

Real Name: I'd rather not tell you...I have this thing with privacy...

Age: Some age at least over the minimum age to be on FanFiction.net. That's assuming there IS a minimum age to join this site.

Ethnicity: Long story short, I'm "Blasian". Or you can peeve me a little and call me "Blackanese".

Favorite Video Games: One Piece: Grand Battle for the Gamecube, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, Legend of Zelda: Windwaker, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Need for Speed games, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendogs, Metroid 3: Corruption, Super Paper Mario, Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Pokémon, Okami, NiGHTS: Journey Into Dreams, Super Mario Galaxy, Chocobo's Dungeon, and mostly all of the Sonic games...I think.

Currently Hoping For: Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

Favorite Characters: Due to the great number of characters that I love dearly, I'm going to stop this section. Honestly.

Favorite Music: I mostly listen to R&B, and some rap and hip-hop. Jazz is great too.

Most Proud Of: Nothing, really.

Most Hated Characteristic: Too many things to list here.

Is Happy Because: What's this? I'm not happy. At least, I'm not entirely euphoric. Neither am I feeling depressed. It's one of those neutral, but melancholy moments for me right now.

Pet Peeve(s):
- Ike changes from adorable to..."painful to look at" in Goddess of Dawn. TT.TT
- "Goddess of Dawn" was changed "Radiant Dawn." Stupid Nintendo translator people...
- The bananas Mom bought are on steroids.
- Being called "Japanese" instead of "Okinawan".
- My mood swings.
- Cold mornings.
- An unhealthy fettish for Lumas...I LOVE TEH LUMAS!
- Whiny/arrogant/stupid/all around dumbasses.
- Not very many "good" games in the century.
- I have screws made of iron/steel/something metallic in my ankle.
- I have a really big and really ugly scar on my ankle. But it still looks cool.
- My ankle stiffens up and I can't walk without limping on cold days.
- Lawn mowers and leaf blowers.
- I think faster than I can type or talk.
- I think in either run on sentences or Japanese.
- An unhealthy fettish over Riolus and Lucarios...
- My crappy drawing. xD
- My crappy writing. xD (Don't hurt me, Simimaelian!)
- Red dots. (LOL, SS!)
- Random fettish for clementines.
- Lack of Hot Cheetoes/Funyuns/Chocolate Donut Wholes/Biscuits.
- Lack of any more pet peeves at this point.

Story Ideas: The SSB fic is going along really well right now, thanks to the support I'm getting from my friends and acquaintances on this site. However, there will be a title change to TSBW upon the upload of Chapter 31. At any rate, though, I thank all of the authors and authoresses that let me use their OC's in my Super Smash Brothers and Kingdom Hearts crossover. Mostly all of them have awesome fics as well, so I recommend going to see their fics if you liked mine. In fact, I'm sure you'll start to hate mine after reading theirs, HAHA.
SuperSmasher025 (Not quite yet for SS025 - she's in the middle of revising her fic, so I'm sure it'll turn out better than before! Keep your head up, SS! I'm sure you can get it!)

Simple Gifts is up and running for those of you who wanted to read it. If I remember correctly, I think it's in the Game Crossovers section. And can you blame me? Fire Emblem, Super Smash Brothers, Legend of Zelda, and more later on into the fic, Tales of Symphonia? That is a crossover, my friends, with emphasis on each game separately at separate times. This is also one of the only fics the authoress personas Kevyn and Dawn (named kbx and SS at the moment) will appear as major characters, for you remember that both are making cameo appearances in "KH: TSBW", correct? It's my first collaboration fic with one of my best buddies - SuperSmasher025. Put two authoresses that have really big and imaginative dreams and minds equals that fic. Fluffiness abound.

KBX HAS DEBUTED IN THE ZELDA SECTION...
...But things haven't been going as successfully as I thought it would. Meh, oh well. Light's Blood IS a bit of a weird one anyway, and was more or less based on my desire to incorporate one of my redesigned OC's. More information is up on my deviantART account, but anyway...Let's just say that it probably will have more of an epic nature than TSBW, especially added to the fact that Fierce Deity Link from Majora's Mask will find his way into the mess. Probably a lot of theory to back up the Fierce Deity's existence, but I think it's theory that makes sense. So yeah...Keep an eye out for that demon god...

Ever heard of the 100 Theme Challenge? It's a deviantART thing. Basically what happens is you copy and paste the rules and the 100 themes you do some artistic thing for in your journal to say you're in. I already did that. Now you have to go through and do some artistic thing for each theme, whether it be drawing, writing a song, writing a poem, anything. I'm writing, since I draw like crap. xD My focus? I'm focusing in on my OC Aliana's past that she shares with everyone's favorite (subject to vary) SSB swordsman Marth. You'll see some childish innocence and foolishness (also meaning stupidity) and hopefully developing character (since that's what I wanted to train myself with the most) over the progress of this series of oneshots that ranges over thirteen years. It takes place AFTER "KH:TSBW", so if there's some references to that fic, that's why. IT WILL ONLY BE ON DEVIANTART, so for those who are that interested in reading, I'll put up the links to each of the themes, which are in no particular order whatsoever. If you're on devART too, feel free to leave me a comment: after all, I'm doing this mostly to better myself as a writer. Cool? Cool. Oh, wait. The title? I have decided it shall be named:

Thirteen Years in One Hundred Steps (TYiOHS)

Chapter 1 - Theme 1: Introduction
Chapter 2 - Theme 69: Annoyance
Chapter 3 - Theme 7: Heaven
Chapter 4 - Theme 53: Keeping a Secret
Chapter 5 - Theme 18: Rainbow
Chapter 6 - Theme 62: Magic
Chapter 7 - Theme 39: Dreams
Chapter 8 - Theme 22: Mother Nature
Chapter 9 - Theme 95: Advertisement
Chapter 10 - Theme 71: Obsession
Chapter 11 - Theme 33: Expectations
Chapter 12 - Theme 87: Food
Chapter 13 - Theme 72: Mischief Managed
Chapter 14 - Theme 25: Trouble Lurking
Chapter 15 - Theme 17: Blood
Chapter 16 - Theme 59: No Way Out
Chapter 17 - Theme 8: Innocence
Chapter 18 - Theme 80: Words
Chapter 19 - Theme 61: Fairy Tale
Chapter 20 - Theme 48: Childhood

This fic IS still up, but I have, however, discontinued it because of correlation difficulties with FE1. Now that Shadow Dragon's out, I unfortunately realized that if I wanted it to correlate with the game as much as possible, I would have to put the WHOLE fic through absolute revision. 20 chapters later, I really wasn't feeling up to revising them all, so I ended the story there on a rather melancholy note.

OC's?

OC's? Well...I did say I was going to have information concerning my character in Kingdom Hearts: The Smash Bros. Way, so let's go!

Name: Aliana Shikarume

Age: 17.

Appearance: First the hair. We always want to know about the hair, right? Well, Aliana’s hair is raven colored and reaches all the way down to the middle of her back. She also has bangs that cover her left eye, but it’s only for style purposes. In addition, she hates having her hair tied up, but she’s got a silver headband that looks a lot like Marth’s golden one…Hmm…Wonder what that could be, eh? Now for clothing. Have you ever noticed that a good majority, if not all, of the Fire Emblem heroes are wearing some shade of blue? That got really annoying with me, so Aliana’s clothing is different. The dress’s design is just about the same as Lyn’s, but instead of that daggone color blue, it’s golden yellow. The trimmings are scarlet, and that also includes the minimal swirly design along the right side of her torso. She also has a burgundy cape – not blue – over her shoulders, also just for style, though she will throw this down pretty soon. A brown leather belt around her waist holds her two swords. Her fingerless gloves and her boots are also brown. The boots go up to just below her knees. Another thing worthy to note is the silver brace around her right thigh. This silver bracelet thingy has runes engraved into it, and depending on who touches it, the runes glow! Isn’t that cool, or what?

The Swords…
Jörmungandr: This is the sword Aliana wields with her right hand. Originally a heavy flyssa she could wield with somewhat ease, Crazy Hand changes it into a katana in Chapter 11 of "KH:TSBW". Encased in a black leather scabbard, this sword is supposedly wrought from the scales of the Midgard Serpent himself. The soul of Jörmungandr rests in this sword, so the scabbard has runes running down the middle of it – runes of sealing, as Aliana would call them. The hilt of the katana is engraved with the image of a sea serpent winding around to bite its tail, and the handle is a solid black with jade cloth winding around it. A silver cover adorns the end of the handle as well. When Aliana calls upon this sword’s power, it responds by glowing with a jade green aura. Sometimes, as you have probably seen in Chapter 1 of "KH: TSBW" an apparition of Jörmungandr will appear to support Aliana. Cool eh?
Fenrisulfr: This is the jian Aliana wields with her left hand. Encased also in a black leather scabbard, the Fenrisulfr, as its name goes, is supposedly created from a shard of the great Fenrir’s fang. Probably guessed this already, but I’ll say it anyways. The soul of Fenrir rests within this blade, and so, it also has runes running down its scabbard! Amazing, isn’t it? Since the jian is a rather simple sword, not many designs are on the hilt. The pommel, however, conists of an intricate swirling design, and the guard is engraved with an image of Fenrir chained to the spot, struggling to break free of the chains. A single red tassle adorns the end of the pommel. Summoning up the soul within this sword is something Aliana does when she feels her life is in inevitable danger. The power of Fenrir is rather unstable…So the chances of that power backfiring on Aliana do exist. It's only happened once so far. Like when Jörmungandr is summoned, Fenrir will also hang around as an apparition, literally tearing up any enemies in Aliana’s way. Brutal.

Personality Check!
The hardest, yet the best part of making an OC. The personality check. Where to start? Well, let’s go socially then. Aliana’s not quite socially inclined, so she’s more of the person who will silently back away from a party when she has the chance to. An element of trust does dwell within her, only if she is told a person can be trusted, of course. However, she does not open up to anyone unless she has known and trusted them for an extended period of time. She has her own ideas of justice, and if she sees anyone breaking those ideas she holds, scorn will be upon them. Since these are her own ideas, some of her morals may seem a bit…twisted and dangerous. I won’t delve into them here, of course, but maybe that’s something to keep in mind? Aliana is also highly sensitive to some things, perhaps because of the past she has had to deal with? That, and she also is very protective of her swords – she knows the destruction either one can cause. All in all, she’s a nice enough person, but she does tend to keep to herself, only going to others when she’s at an absolute loss. In battle, Aliana can be rather rude and reckless, as she will charge into an oncoming group of foes without consulting anyone. Although she is Marth’s closest general (to add an element of a Mary-Sue OC), as long as it’s not necessarily a strategic campaign, she will just go. Let's see...what else? Oh, of course. Aliana will just straight out say what's on her mind, meaning she has no qualms about giving the truth or her opinion as it is, violent or not. She's straightforward about most things, and blunt in her opinions. Those who call theirselves her friend have a need to understand that bluntness/coldness/straightforwardness to the things she says. As the general she was supposed to have been trained to be, she is rather stubborn and unwilling to submit to other people's suggestions, oftent times waiting until it's too late to go with said suggestions. Though in possession of a pretty clever and crafty mind, she still has those moments when immaturity gets the best of her: bring in the food fights and flying fists. xD She doesn't like taking the blame for problems, even if it was her own fault that the problem even occured. If caught, however, she will gladly take any punishments or consequences that come her way, though usually with an unreasonably short temper to help her to deal with it. Aliana also does have a tendency to not show a more caring side - in fact, she doesn't like to say that she cares or that she's worried for something or other, and usually waits until the very end to admit her cares or worries, if she even decides to confess said concerns...Which she probably won't ever, unless it was that important to her. She's not a morning person, but unfortunately, when she wakes up, she stays up until the time comes around for her to go back to sleep. All in all, so far, Aliana's a partially insocial, cold, sarcastic, blunt, straightforward, self-reliant, short tempered (yet cool and calm), honest, responsible, and you-can-summarize-the-rest kind of gal. ...I’ll have other personality stuff up once I get around to them.

Aliana’s Past: You can either wait in agony until I get to that point in TSBW, or you can just go to my deviantART account to see what's going on.

The “B” Attacks – Just for Fun!
Down+ B -- Counter/Break: A two-part attack where Aliana will first counter an enemy attack then attempt to knock her foes away with a horizontal swipe with the sword Jörmungandr, then the Fenrisulfr, also causing the foes’ attacks, counters, or defense whatevers to break, leaving them open to more swordplay.

Up+ B -- Serpent’s Twist: In which Aliana will start up a twister with a five-yard radius. The apparition of the Midgard Serpent will be unleashed from the sword it was kept in, and will destroy all foes within that radius, either by tearing them up, spewing toxic breath, or causing a mini tidal wave. Aliana also uses the winds worked up by this attack to get back to the battlefield in Melee battles.

Left+ B or Right + B -- Lupus’s Fury: A shard of Fenrir's soul is summoned to fight alongside Aliana, supplying her with more strength than normal. While Aliana attacks in a similar fashion to Marth's Dancing Blade or Roy's Double Edge Dance, Fenrir moves with her swordstrokes, tearing up the enemies in her path. Prolonged usage of Lupus's Fury may cause the attack to backfire on Aliana, so this is used sparingly.

Final Smash Move (copied from SuperSmasher025 – Sorry :p)

Ragnarök In which the power of Aliana's swords fuse together within her body, causing her to radiate a black aura tinged with red. While giving off this ambience, Aliana can maintain a balance between close and long range attacks: at close range, she releases the full strength of her swords, meaning a heck of a lot of lightning-speed powerful combos, while she can also use a variety of ranged attacks. These ranged attacks consist of dark waves of energy travelling at high speeds, pillars of black light erupting from the ground, bolts of darkness raining down from the sky, or a beam of light that blasts forth from either sword to impale the enemy. The aura dies off after a while, and cannot be used again for quite some time.

More info on Aliana as we proceed with Kingdom Hearts: The Smash Bros. Way? Maybe. I’ll see you then.

Buddies/Friends/Cool People/A Dedication Section To All of Them.

So basically, I saw two of my buddies put me in their dedication sections. And I felt bad for not mentioning them at all. So, I'm going to mention some of my buddies here on ff.net, 'kay? 'Kay.

SuperSmasher025: My partner-in-arms, my best buddy, my lesbian lover (NOT), my long-lost other sister, and all-around, one of my very best friends. It all started almost three years ago when I read her fic at the time and asked her if I could put her OC in TSBW. It all began then. We've been talking for a long time now, obviously, and, well, we're like...magnets. Haha. She doesn't quite have anything up right now, as she's working on improving her fic, but I can tell you that SS has something up her sleeve. Just what it is, I have no idea myself.

Shining Riku: After reading Supremacy, it was like...I dunno, actually. If you don't know this fella, and you're in the SSB section, something's wrong with you. Not only are his action scenes TEH BOMB, but when he gets insane with his fics, he gets insane. I spent a good fifteen minutes rolling on the floor laughing. His fic right now's a pretty complex and awesome fic, and his reviews are not only helpful, but hilarious more often than not. Plus, he's a cool cat with everyone. Now who wouldn't want to be buddies with this guy, hm?

RoyalFanatic: Maybe she's not so much into SSB right now, but her willingness to help her friends, along with her far-flung and highly imaginative mind, RF is just the person you'll want to talk to if you need some random conversation about writing or video games. Oh yeah, and she's also apparently some maniac monster on Guitar Hero, so if you want to challenge her, by all means, do so. Find info on deviantART or her profile on ff.net or something. 'Cause like I said, not only is she an awesome writer, she can be a good friend to everyone.

Simimaelian: My spaz friend, really. I've known her for about six years now, but she still never fails to surprise me. Her expertise is more in drawing than writing, and I've got to say, she's good. Like, really good. While she IS on ff.net (and periodically spazzing to me about some new Kingdom Hearts fic she's found) her main area is deviantART, under the same username. Simi's also a VERY random person, and she knows how to make ya smile. Hey, take it from the person who's had many a blue day.

seastone130: While I haven't seen her around on ff.net like I used to (and I don't blame her, what with our crazy schedules as of late) seastone's also an awesome writer. Even better than me, really. She only has her Phoenix Wright fic up right now, but I think she's got some stuff up her sleeve as well. Want a random conversation? Or maybe something about video games or anime or manga or writing? seastone's the one to talk to.

darthcarrot: Never around ff.net, but occasionally on deviantART under "SawatteMinh" darthcarrot is...well...I don't really know how to explain. "Energetic" doesn't quite cut it, and "random" just doesn't fit her either. I'm none to sure what it is, but she's QUITE the hilarious one too. If you understand her terminologies and grammar and jokes and all that. Incredibly funny, really. Haha.

So. That's that. See ya later.

PS: Check out my devART account for other storylets I've written!

PPS: I wish I could take Kyudo classes...Y'know, Japanese Longbow Archery. I wish I could take some classes...But NOO...The nearest place is like...45 minutes away from where I live.

PPPS: I'm also in the marching band at my school. How 'bout you?

PPPPS: If you are a shadow reader, meaning if you're one of those people who just read...You do realize that I do have anonymous reviewing enabled for your sake? So that you can post some reviews for me? Yeah? -wink, wink, nudge, nudge- Those comments are greatly appreciated.
