Who are you truly?... The angel who soars above... Or maybe the fallen who are deprived... Who are you truly?... Grasp your destiny and choose... For I keep calling for you... But do you listen or do you run from me?... Who are you truly?... Take off the mask... Forget everbody's sneering... Take off the cloak... Forget their mockery... Take off the shadow of namelessness... And most importantly, forget their whispers... Who are you truly?... Stand up... Grasp your sword... And scream as you charge... Scream who you are.

This is who I am.

"I will take your thoughts away/And ignite what you fear today/I can take you far away/With my mind/With my mind"

Personal Theme Song: With My Mind as made famous by Cold.

Name: I'll keep that to myself... but I am well known simply as Lithius.

Meaning of Pen Name: I was just messing around with some words while just chaninging around letters, adding some, or even replacing a few. I came across Lithium and in my head I liked the sound of adding an 's' at the end, and thus my name Lithius came into being. Now, Amarantinos has a slightly deeper meaning. I'm well versed in Greek and Hebrew and I found this word while running through a Greek dictionary. It means: that which not fadeth away, eternal, or everlasting.

If you really want a deeper meaning to my penname, Lithius is based on the word lithium, which is used as a anti-depressant in medicines. Toss in Amarantinos, which means 'everlasting' in short, you could possibly translate the entire meaning of my pen-name as 'The pain which never fades.'

I'm not emo; if anything, I am the opposite of an emo, but growing up, I have had to deal with chronic depression. And no, I don't take anything with lithium in it.

Age: Lost Track, but I am in college right now.

Hair: Metallic dirty-dishwasher blonde

Eyes: Hunter Green/Gray Silver (both colors, isn't that awsome?!)

Height: 5'10" and still going

Home: The land of spuds (Idaho)

Special Abilities: I'm well versed in the reading and understanding in of ancient Greek and Hebrew. I'm also a master artist and look to put my pictures on display at a couple of art galleries. I love to write (bet you didn't know that) and have higher than normal english skills. No, I'm not a nerd like some of you might be thinking. I also weld; I like the sparks, it makes July 4th look like just another day of the year. In short, I'm eclectic, a fancy word that means I'm a jack-of-all-trades, but at the same time I can't specialize in anything. I can learn just about anything.

Favorite Look: I normally wear a button-up shirt detailed with chinese dragons with an Aeropastle shirt along with a trinity styled necklace. I also spike my hair (depending how lazy I'm feeling and how long my hair is)

Favorite music artists: Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, Flyleaf, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Fort Minor, Evanescence, Three Doors Down, Fall Out Boy, Metallica, Cold, Crossfade, Silverstein, Saosin, Adema, Breaking Benjamin, My Chemical Romance, Framing Hanley, 30 Seconds to Mars, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Paramore, P.O.D., Last Winter, Sixx: A.M., Bullet For My Valentine, Slipknot, The Used, Dope, Drist, Killswitch Engage, Anarchy Club, as well as many more.

Favorite Shows, Manga, and Movies: Rave Master, Naruto, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam Wing and Seed, Outlaw Star, Trinity Blood, Claymore, Black Cat, Wolf's Rain, Escaflowne, Princess Monoke, Scrubs, Smallvile, Family Guy, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Carribean series, Transformers (the movie specifically), Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (the English actors suck).

Favorite Games: Kingdom Hearts (all of them), Acecombat (4, 5, 6), Final Fantasy (VII, Advent Children, VIII, X, XII and can't wait for XIII and XIII versus), Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, Jak and Daxter Series, Need for Speed Series, Guitar Hero (All of them), Monster Hunter (all of them as well), Halo Series, The Darkness, and Resident Evil Series (I thought the movies were awesome too.), Assasin's Creed, Devil May Cry Series (got to love Dante and his sarcasm!)

Occupation: Officially I work at Subway. Not exactly my first choice of jobs, but it pays and the people are great. Unofficially, I'm a storyteller with a thing for books and writing fanfiction and original works. I'm hoping to finish my first book here soon, but there isn't any telling how long it will take to get done; the first chapters is almost sixty pages long after all. I also know for a fact that publishing companies make it a game of how many people they can deny. I just hope they like my books.

Currently, I'm traing to be a welder. I'm learning all of the basic forms of it, but TIG welding is a pain and might take me a little bit to get past. As far as my skills go, I'm one of the better welders, but I'm not the best. At the same time, I'm the most knowledgeable welder there, therefore giving me an advantage over my fellow classmates. I'm also trying to earn my English degree, and maybe a Foreign Language degree while I'm at it.

Pet Peeves: Stupid people, people who don't flush the toilet, writer's block, an unclean room, unalphabetized books or CDs, slobs (people who don't clean anything.), homework, know-it-alls, white people who act like they're black, life in general.

Personality: I'm an honest to God introvert. I never talk unless I must or I'm around someone that I'm close to. I don't understand why, but it aggravates me to Hell and back that I can better communicate my thoughts through writing instead of talking. I also don't like it when people touch me; it always makes me jump or get really nervous and the only exceptions to this are my family and my friends or when it's absolutely necessary. I may be quiet, but I love to talk when I'm just with my friends, I just don't understand this quirk about me.

For my social life, I have my best friend to thank; without him, I'd still be a hermit. By nature, I'm a very anti-social person. I'm happy and content staying in my room and typing for the rest of my days without contact with the human race, but the crazy person I call a best friend would drag me out of my room and throw me in the car if it meant we did something. Thanks to him, I now have three other really close friends I'd be willing to stand with in the deepest bowls of Hell. Or get chased by cops (that's an interesting story).

I've got an I.Q. somewhere over one-hundred which means I'm smarter than average, but despite my incredible smarts, I'm lazier than hell. I would much rather daydream than work. I also have a powerful photographic memory that allows me memorize just about everything I see, but my mind can be quite selective, otherwise I would be remembering what I had for homework the other day. I'm also absentminded to a fault; just because my body is there doesn't mean my mind is (ever heard the reference 'the lights are on but nobody is home'? Yeah, there's a reason why I've walked face first into doors).

Outside of school, I'm pretty laid back and would prefer not to worry about the world's problems. If it's not my problem then I'm not going to worry about it. I only have four really close friends mainly because everyone at my school, or maybe within the city of (wouldn't you like to know) are backstabbing dunderheads, with the occasional notable exception. I'm very slow to get angry and could actually count how many times I've hit someone on one hand with digits left over, but should my fuse get lit, I have a tendency to maul somebody when pissed.

I'm also an insomniac. It's not uncommon for me to get less than four hours of sleep a night. With this extra time I read books (I have quite the extensive library), finish whatever homework I remembered at the last second (which is what I end up doing most of the time), and write stories if I'm led to. Though, the moment Friday night hits, I'm out like a light, and I refuse to get up until one in the afternoon. And no, I don't look like Gaara or L with the ring around the eyes; I just get moody when I haven't had my Friday night sleep.

For some odd reason, I'm a serious perfectionist. I alphabatize everything, my cds, my books or whatever, but it gets really sad when I organize my clothes by color. My room must not have a speck of dust or otherwise, I will disinfect the entire room, my shoes are even organized by what I wear them for. Yep, I'm a sad little person.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away... and now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.- I Corinthians 13:3-8,13

“In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.

The Laws of Anime Version 6.0

Originally compiled and edited by Darrin Bright and Ryan Shellito

#1. Law of Metaphysical Irregularity
The normal laws of physics do not apply.

#2. Law of Differentiated Gravitation
Whenever someone or something jumps, is thrown, or otherwise is rendered airborn, gravity is reduced by a factor of 4.

#3. Law of Sonic Amplification, First Law of Anime Acoustics
In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there is no air to get in the way.

#4. Law of Constant Thrust, First Law of Anime Motion
In space, constant thrust equals constant velocity.

#5. Law of Mechanical Mobility, Second Law of Anime Motion
The larger a mechanical device is, the faster it moves. Armored Mecha are the fastest objects known to human science.

#6. Law of Temporal Variability
Time is not a constant. Time stops for the hero whenever he does something 'cool' or 'impressive'. Time slows down when friends and lovers are being killed and speeds up whenever there is a fight.

#7. First Law of Temporal Mortality
'Good Guys' and 'Bad Guys' both die in one of two ways. Either so quick they don't even see it coming, OR it's a long drawn out affair where the character gains much insight to the workings of society, human existence or why the toast always lands butter side down.

#8. Second Law of Temporal Mortality
It takes some time for bad guys to die... regardless of physical damage. Even when the 'Bad Guys' are killed so quickly they didn't even see it coming, it takes them a while to realize they are dead. This is attributed to the belief that being evil damages the Reality Lobe of the brain.

#9. Law of Dramatic Emphasis
Scenes involving extreme amounts of action are depicted with either still-frames or black screens with a slash of bright color (usually red or white).

#10, Law of Dramatic Multiplicity
Scenes that only happen once, for instance, a 'Good Guy' kicks the 'Bad Guy' in the face, are seen at least 3 times from 3 different angles.

#11. Law of Inherent Combustability
Everything explodes. Everything.
First Corollary - Anything that explodes bulges first.
Second Corollary - Large cities are the most explosive substances known to human science. Tokyo in particular seems to be the most unstable of these cities, sometimes referred to as "The Matchstick City".

#12. Law of Phlogistatic Emission
Nearly all things emit light from fatal wounds.

#13. Law of Energetic Emission
There is alway an energy build up (commonly referred to as an energy 'bulge') before Mecha or space craft weapons fire. Because of the explosive qualities of weapons, it is believed that this is related to the Law of Inherent Combustability.

#14. Law of Inverse Lethal Magnitude
The destructive potential of a weapon is inversly proportional to its size.
First Corollary - Small and cute will always overcome big and ugly. Also know as the A-Ko phenomenon.

#15. Law of Inexhaustability
No one EVER runs out of ammunition. That is of course unless they are cornered, out-numbered, out-classed, and unconscious.

#16. Law of Inverse Accuracy
The accuracy of a 'Good Guy' when operating any form of fire-arm increases as the difficulty of the shot increases. The accuracy of the 'Bad Guys' when operating fire-arms decreases when the difficulty of the shot decreases. (Also known as the Stormtrooper Effect)
Example: A 'Good Guy' in a drunken stupor being held upside down from a moving vehicle will always hit, and several battalions of 'Bad Guys' firing on a 'Good Guy' standing alone in the middle of an open field will always miss.
First Corollary - The more 'Bad Guys' there are, the less likely they will hit anyone or do any real damage.
Second Corollary - Whenever a 'Good Guy' is faced with insurmountable odds, the 'Bad Guys' line up in neat rows, allowing the hero to take them all out with a single burst of automatic fire and then escape.
Third Corollary - Whenever a 'Good Guy' is actually hit by enemy fire, it is in a designated 'Good Guy Area', usually a flesh wound in the shoulder or arm, which restricts the 'Good Guy' from doing anything more strenuous than driving, firing weaponry, using melee weapons, operating heavy machinery, or doing complex martial arts maneuvres.

#17. Law of Transient Romantic Unreliability
Minmei is a bimbo.

#18. Law of Hemoglobin Capacity
The human body contains over 12 gallons of blood, sometimes more, under high pressure.

#19. Law of Demonic Consistency
Demons and other supernatural creatures have at least three eyes, loads of fangs, tend to be yellow-green or brown (but black is not unknown), and can only be hurt by bladed weapons.

#20. Law of Militaristic Unreliability
Huge galaxy-wide armadas, entire armies, and large war-machines full of cruel, heartless, bloodthirsty warriors can be stopped and defeated with a single insignificant example of a caring/loving emotion or a song.

#21. Law of Tactical Unreliability
Tactical geniuses aren't...

#22. Law of Inconsequential Undetectability
People never notice the little things... Like missing body parts, or wounds the size of Seattle.

#23. Law of Juvenile Intellectuality
Children are smarter than adults. And almost always twice as annoying.

#24. Law of Americanthropomorphism
Americans in Anime appear in one of two roles, either as a really nasty skinny 'Bad Guy' or a big stupid 'Good Guy'.
First Corollary - The only people who are more stupid than the big dumb Americans are the American translators. (Sometimes referred to as the Green Line Effect.)
Second Corollary - The only people who are more stupid than the American translators are the American editors and censors.

#25. Law of Mandibular Proportionality
The size of a person's mouth is directly proportional to the volume at which they are speaking or eating.

#26. Law of Feline Mutation
Any half-cat/half-human mutation will invariably:
a) be female
b) will possess ears and sometimes a tail as a genetic mutation
c)and wear as little clothing as possible, if any.

#27. Law of Conservation of Firepower
Any powerful weapon capable of destroying/defeating an opponent in a single shot will invariably be reserved and used only as a last resort.

#28. Law of Technological User-Benevolence
The formal training required to operate a spaceship or mecha is inversely proportional to its complexity.

#29. Law of Melee Luminescence
Any being displaying extremely high levels of martial arts prowess and/or violent emotions emits light in the form of a glowing aura. This aura is usually blue for 'good guys' and red for 'bad guys'. This is attributed to Good being higher in the electromagnetic spectrum than Evil.

#30. Law of Non-anthropomorphic Antagonism
All ugly, non-humanoid alien races are hostile, and usually hell-bent on destroying humanity for some obscure reason.

#31. Law of Follicular Chroma Variability
Any color in the visible spectrum is considered a natural hair color. This color can change without warning or explanation.

#32. Law of Follicular Permanence
Hair in anime is pretty much indestructable, and can resist any amount of meteorological conditions, energy emissions, physical abuse, or explosive effects and still look perfect. The only way to hurt someone's hair is the same way you deal with demons... with bladed weapons!

#33. Law of Topological Aerodynamics, First Law of Anime Aero-Dynamics
ANY shape, no matter how convoluted or odd-looking, is automatically aerodynamic.

#34. Law of Probable Attire
Clothing in anime follows certain predictable guidelines.
--Female characters wear as little clothing as possible, regardless of whether it is socially or meteorologically appropriate. Any female with an excessive amount of clothing will invariably have her clothes ripped to shreds or torn off somehow. If there is no opportunity to tear off the afore-mentioned female's clothes, then she will inexplicably take a shower for no apparent reason (also known as the Gratuitous Shower Scene).
--Whenever there is a headwind, a Male characters will invariably wear a long cloak which doesn't hamper movement and billows out dramatically behind him.
First Corollary (Cryo-Adaptability) - All anime characters are resistant to extremely cold temperatures, and do not need to wear heavy or warm clothing in snow.
Second Corollary (Indecent Invulnerability) - Bikinis render the wearer invulnerable to any form of damage.

#35. Law of Musical Omnipotence
Any character capable of musical talent (singing, playing an instrument, etc.) is automatically capable of doing much more "simple" things like piloting mecha, fighting crime, stopping an intergalactic war, and so on... especially if they have never attempted these things before.

#36. Law of Quitupular Aggultination
Also called "The Five-man Rule," when "Good Guys" group together, it tends to be in groups of five. There are five basic positions, which are:
a) The Hero/Leader
b) His girlfriend
c) His Best Friend/Rival
d) A Hulking Brute
e) A Dwarf/Kid
Between these basic positions are distributed several attributes, which include:
--Extreme Coolness
--Amazing intelligence
--Incredible Irritation

#37. Law of Extradimensional Capacitance
All anime females have an extradimensional storage space of variable volume somewhere on their person from which they can instantly retrieve any object at a moment's notice.
First Corollary (The Hammer Rule) - The most common item stored is a heavy mallet, which can be used with unerring accuracy on any male who deserves it. Other common items include costumes/uniforms, power suits/armor, and large bazookas.

#38. Law of Hydrostatic Emission
Eyes tend to be rather large in Anime. This is because they contain several gallons of water, which may be instantaneously released at high pressure through large tear ducts. The actual volume of water contained in the eyes is unknown, as there is no evidence to suggest that these reservoirs are actually capable of running out. The reason water tends to collect in the eyes is because Anime characters only have one large sweat gland, which is located at the back of the head. When extremely stressed, embarrassed, or worried, this sweat gland exudes a single but very large drop of sebaceous fluid.

#39. Law of Inverse Attraction
Success at finding suitable mates is inversely proportionate to how desperately you want to be successful. The more you want, the less you get.
First Corollary Unfortunately, this law seems to apply to Otaku in the real world...

#40. Law of Nasal Sanguination
When sexually aroused, males in Anime don't get erections, they get nosebleeds. No one's sure why this is, though... the current theory suggests that larger eyes means smaller sinuses and thinner sinus tissue (see Law #38 above). Females don't get nosebleeds, but invariably get one heck of a blush along the cheeks and across the nose, suggesting a lot of bloodflow to that region.

#41. Law of Xylolaceration
Wooden or bamboo swords are just as sharp as metal swords, if not sharper.

#42. Law of Juvenile Omnipotence
Always send a boy to do a man's job. He'll get it done in half the time and twice the angst.

#43. Law of Quadrotriscadecophobia
There is no Law #43.

#44. Law of Nominative Clamovocation
The likelihood of success and damage done by a martial arts attack is directly proportional to the volume at which the full name of the attack is announced.

#45. Law of Uninteruptable Metamorphosis
Regardless of how long or involved the transformation sequence or how many times they've seen it before, any 'Bad Guys' witnessing a mecha/hero/heroine transforming are too stunned to do anything to interrupt it.

#46. Law of Flimsy Incognition
Simply changing into a costume or wearing a teensy mask can make you utterly unrecognizable to even your closest friends and relatives.

#47- Law of Mandibular Combustible Emission- All anime characters seem to have some
unknown chemical on their breath that reacts VERY violently with extremely hot or
spicy food. This chemical may also be responsible for the phenomenon of fire behind
the eyes and from the mouth when a character (usually a female) is really angry.

#48- Law of Electrical and Combustible Survivalism- If you get electrocuted or
burned, YOU WILL SURVIVE!! Though your entire body will be scorched, seconds later,
your skin won’t have a trace of damage (Also known as the "Pikachu Effect").
First Corollary- When a magical bad guy/Alien/monster fires off a flame,
wind, or ice attack, the resulting effect is only enough for the hero(es)/heroine(s)
to be standing in the "Walking Against the Wind" stance, with his/her eyes shut and
letting out a pathetic "Aaaaagh!", and yet they are never harmed. This may be in
part to laws 32, 34 and sometimes 44.

#49- Law of Female wrath- If a male character insults a female character, he will
get a mallet, shotgun, or tank blast, or if she is a character that can perform
magical feats, a fireball or whatever, to the head, body or whatever (Also known as
the "Lina Inverse/Gourry Factor") This is because he always deserves it, and will
help him to cope in today’s society. (>Sniff Sniff

#50- Law of Artistic Perversion- Most (not all) Anime artists are perverts and are
under the impression that girls are willing to tear off their clothes, or wear VERY
small, revealing outfits at the drop of a pin (or pen for that matter).
Unfortunately, most Hentai fans are under the same impression.

#51- Law of Uninteruptable Nominative Clamovocation- This law is a mixture of Laws
44 and 45. Regardless of how long or involved the Spell or projectile attack is, and
the likelihood of success and damage done by the volume at which the full name of
the attack is announced, or how many times they’ve seen it before, any "Bad Guys"
witnessing a hero/heroine quoting the incantations for an extremely powerful attack
are too stunned to do anything to interrupt it. (Also known as the "Dragon Slave
Phenomenon")

52- Law of Telepathic Obliviousness- Most of the time, some Anime characters
(usually males) will think personal (Like that he/she has sabotaged something), or
perverted thoughts, while near some other character, WHO’S TELEPATHIC!! The reasons
for this are:
1) They forgot that the person is telepathic.
2) They just don’t give a damn.
The reasons the telepathic person doesn’t react are:
1) They’re preoccupied with doing something else.
2) They’d rather keep the fact to themselves that they are Telepathic.
3) They just don’t give a damn.

#53- Law of Chromatic Diversity- Air can be any color of the viewable spectrum.

#54- Law of Old Man Comic Relief- Comic relief comes in the form of a short, bald,
wise-mouthed dirty old man or alien. Or the combination of any two of those traits.
First Corollary- If old man is present, and is acting too horny, stupid,
etc., there will invariably be an old woman to whap him over the head with a frying
pan or something.

#55- Law of the Wise Old Man- Little old Japanese men always know how it ends and
withhold the ending from anyone, especially the hero. This includes special power
weapons, ancient relics, and people who know everything.

#56- Law of Omnipotent Unreliability- Any "Bad Guy" with Omnipotent powers/weapons
will never use those powers/weapons against the "Good Guy" until it is too late.
First Corollary- All "Bad Guys" suffer from Antagonistic Boasting Syndrome
which require all "Bad Guys" to threaten with or exemplify their prowess and not use
it against the "Good Guy".
Second Corollary- No "Bad Guy" may use any new, secret, or superior military
device without one of the following events occurring:
a) The control device being broken.
The control device being taken by the "Good Guy".
c) The control device is in fact not the real device at all and was just
"fooled" by the "Good Guy".
d) The "Bad Guy" has already lost and cannot use the device.

#57- Law of Minimum Corneal Volume- Eyeballs may make up no less than one sixth of
the face’s total surface area. More so if the case is a blonde woman.

#58- Law of Electrical Charges in Hair- Hair attracts electricity in abundance,
resulting in two outcomes:
a) A positive charge will result in the spikes-flying-everywhere-behind-me
look.
A negative charge will result in the
hair-cascading-down-to-the-waist-in-a-single-sheet look.

#59- Law of Ammunition Accuracy- When there are multiple types of ammunition
available (paintballs, speaker pods), non-lethal rounds will always be more accurate
when compared to "standard" or lethal shots. (Macross Plus for paintballs, Macross 7
for speaker pods)

#60- Law of Active Female Attraction- In a comedy series, a male character’s
attractiveness to women is inversely proportional to how active they pursue them.
(Tenchi, Ranma, and Makoto OVA have a seemingly endless supply of willing
girlfriends despite their lack of romantic skill while Happosai, Ataru, and Carrot
couldn’t get a date despite or because of their constant attempts.)

#61- Law of Sweat Pore Variability- When a person is embarrassed, caught in an
awkward situation, or otherwise humiliated, all sweat pores on the body contract,
except for ones on the forehead. These pores expand to such a degree that a single
drop could fill a Big Gulp from 7-11.

#62- The Law of Inverse Training Time- A person who has been training for 3 years
is never as good as someone who has been training for one month.

#63- Law of Needs to Few and Many- The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the
few... of even the one.

#64- Law of Bad Humor- Whenever someone says something that is intended to be
funny, whether actually funny or not, the rest of the characters (even animals) fall
to the ground with their feet in the air. Sweat sometimes accompanies the fall.
(The sound of a cow mooing usually accompanies the joke as well.)

#65- Law of Extreme Anger- Whenever a female character gets mad, such as seeing the
male character with another girl, she becomes extremely strong (despite her usually
helpless look) so that she can lift a 1000 ton object to hurt the guy. She can
sometimes perform other punishments that are just as cruel such as pinching the
guy’s face so hard that it changes shape. (see law #49)

#66- Law of Differentiated Gravitation-
First Corollary- If the airborne entity exceeds an altitude equal or greater
than two times the height of the entity, gravity is decreased by an inverse
coefficient relative to the upward momentum and mass/weight (if within at least
500 km of any gravity source) of the entity "jumping".
Second Corollary- The amount of Newtonian "opposite force" (in accordance to
normal downward velocity; "Earth gravity" speed is equal to 32ft/sec/sec) is also
inversely proportional to the "actual" speed of the airborne entity. In all
actuality, an entity that appears to be flying towards a solid concrete parking lot
from space will actually land, producing an opposite force of approximately 1.73 lb.
of pressure. Unless this particular entity is a "Bad Guy". Then the law exhibits a
mysterious exponentially proportional Newtonian opposite force, thusly increasing
this variable by a factor equal to the inverse-gravity potential.

#67- Law of Conservation of Ambient Dramatic Tension- In any situation where the
Ambient Dramatic Tension increases, the "Good Guy’s" Style Coefficient must be
increased by a proportional amount to compensate. In any situation where this does
not happen, the "Bad Guy" inevitably comes out on top. However, this usually leads
to a further rise in the Ambient Dramatic tension, which will always be offset by
an exponential increase in the "Good Guy’s" Style Coefficient.

#68- Law of Coercive Vehicular Control- No matter how complex or well defined the
control system, a character controlling a vehicle of any sort always does so through
means of undetectable subconscious psychokinesis.
First Corollary- Characters can perform actions with their vehicles which
clearly defy normal physics (see Laws of Metaphysical Irregularity and Constant
Thrust). The velocity, attitude and traction of the vehicle appear to be adjusted at
will, with the degree of absolute control being proportional to the complexity and
lethality of the maneuver.
Second Corollary- It is effectively impossible to remove characters from or
disrupt the passage of their vehicles without the character’s consent. This does not
always apply to "Bad Guy" characters, or "Good Guy" characters in situations where
the Ambient Dramatic Tension could increase in accordance with the Law of
Conservation of Ambient Dramatic Tension.

#69- Amendment to the Law of Conservation of Ambient Dramatic Tension- In any
situation where the Ambient Dramatic Tension increases without a corresponding
increase in the "Good Guy’s" Style Coefficient, not only does the "Bad Guy" usually
come out on top, but also his Smugness Factor increases in proportion to the rise in
Ambient Dramatic Tension.

#70- Law of The Rushing Background Effect- Whenever something dramatic occurs, a
survival instinct engages, thus rendering all incoming stimulus that is not directly
and immediately to the dramatic situation at hand a meaningless blur. This is often
referred to as "The Rushing Background Effect". Due to the increase in brain
activity and adrenaline levels in the bloodstream, the scene is often played out in
slow motion.

#71- Law of Interdimensional Hammers- Whenever a female character witnesses a male
character of her preference performing any sort of questionable act (i.e. Looking at
another girl or anything she might construe as perverted) she can reach into an
interdimensional realm (usually behind her back) and withdraw a huge Anime Mallet of
Doom with which to whack the said male over the head with. (see Laws # 37, 49, and
65)

#72- Law of Instant Band-Aids- Whenever a character is injured (usually in a head
shot, maybe from a mallet whack) Band-Aids will always instantly appear on the
wounded individual (and always in pairs, set in a cross fashion). These bandages
will then, most likely, disappear by the character’s next scene.

#73- Law of Universal Edge Defense- Any projectile attack, from a blast of magic to
a hail of bullets, can be easily defended against by holding a suitably cool-looking
sword or other bladed weapon between the attacker and defender, usually so that the
edge cuts into the incoming attack(s), causing both halves to go flying harmlessly
past the defender. Observed most often in fantasy and martial arts anime.

#74- Law of Intractable Sanity- There is no such thing as insanity in anime. When
faced with horrifying supernatural forces that would drive most men mad, anime
characters will either:
a) Die quickly (but in accordance with all other laws e.g., slowdown and
exposition),
Get possessed by them, especially if they are beautiful girls or men in a
position to ravish beautiful girls, or
c) Kill them, wipe the blood off their blades, and walk on whistling.

#75- Law of Celestial Body Control- At a dramatically correct moment, a hero can
summon a sun/moon/halo to appear behind him/her to cause a dramatic silhouette.

#76- Law of Aura of Forgetfulness- Any hero who wishes his/her identity to remain a
secret will invariably succeed regardless of disguise because everyone around
him/her will forget everything. Otherwise, how does Sailor Moon keep her disguise?

#77- Law of Cool Hair Factor- The hair of a hero will always coalesce into thick
strands that drape his face into a dramatic fashion, regardless of wind, the
elements, etc. (see Laws 32 & 48)

#78- Law of Inverse Coping- Any single event will happen to the ONE character LEAST
capable of dealing with it.

#79- Law of Martial Arts Training Invulnerability- The Myth that certain martial
arts will enable you to become so strong, that you can stop a nuclear warhead with
your bare palm. Unfortunately, for most otaku, they found the hard way that it just
doesn’t work in real life...

#80- Law of Stereotype Captain characteristics- If a captain of any type of ship is
male, he will invariably wear a big captain’s cap, a long overcoat, and have a
shaggy beard and mustache (pipe optional), and be a great tactician. If the captain
is female, however, she will invariably be young, well endowed, and ditzy as a pole
(horny father optional). Yet, she too will be a great tactician.

#81- Law of Shades/Coolness Factor- Shades can make you instantly cool, even if
you’re normally a klutz.

#82- Law of Hentai Plot- The proper response to any change in the plotline of a
Hentai anime is to start having sex.

#83- Law of Understatement- Anything that is deemed too impossible will become
possible.
First Corollary- Any "Bad Guy" stating "T-that’s impossible!" whenever the
hero is accomplishing some new feat/move/projectile will find out too late that he
is wrong and will invariably be toasted.

#84- Law of Dormant Powers- Anytime a hero is somehow outpowered and/or outclassed
by the villain, he will invariably release powers/new moves he never knew he could
accomplish... but his old teacher did!

#85- Law of Style Coefficient- In a situation where a Good guy may be in dire
straits, he will become stronger, smarter and more cool in a matter of seconds. (see
Laws #67, 69, and 84)

#86- Law of Bad Guy Smugness Factor- Whenever the villain actually succeeds in
beating the hero, they will begin to gloat uncontrollably, because they’ve never won
against the "Good Guy" (because they’re Eeeviiil!!). They usually get so cocky, they
tie the hero to a conveyor belt leading to his doom and leave to get a snack.
Usually this results in:
a) The hero escaping.
b) Clean-up for the underlings.
c) The villain getting toasted.

#87- Law of Tableware Nonexistence- There IS no spoon.

#88- Law of Goofy Turn-Ons- In Hentai, ordinary , pedestrian objects sometimes have
the magical power of either inducing orgasm or arousal. Some include warm water,
rolling on a smooth tabletop, wind, mild electrocution, the character toweling
themselves after a bath/shower, and very cold objects... like bottles of 7-up.

#89- Law of Penile Variance- All Anime men in Hentai have a ridiculously large
penis (lengths of 8, 9, 10 and 11 inches are most common). Some even have ones the
size of telephone poles, despite the blood loss that would accompany it...

#90-Law of Hentai Female Characteristics- All Hentai women have the following
characteristics:
1) Very sensitive and/or very large breasts with large nipples.
2) Very tight and/or sensitive vaginas.

#91- Law of Vaginal Variance- Hentai Anime women can take penis lengths of 8" and
up... completely... despite the fact that they might have a tight and/or sensitive
vagina.

#92- Law of Hero Identification- All heroes are introduced by way of appearance
while someone talking about their (in)famous-ness, or by way of a voice-over of them
introducing themselves.

#93- Law of Cute Mascots- Any anime either Shojo or Shonen has GOT to have at
least one cute, furry little mascot by penalty of death!
First Corollary- If it is a Shonen Anime, the hero will be accompanied by a
Dog, Cat or any kind of animal, real or fake, that would be found with a hero of the
male persuasion. Any animal that would be associated with girls that is following
him around is there because:
1) It’s his girlfriend’s.
2) It is following him, despite his insistence not to do so.
3) Chicks will dig him more.
Second Corollary- If it is a Shojo Anime, the heroine will be accompanied by
a cat, cute lil’ mouse, or some disgustingly cute monster, or any kind of animal,
real or fake, that would be found with a hero of the female persuasion. Any animal
that would be associated with guys that is following her around is there because:
1) It’s her boyfriend’s.
2) It is following her, despite her insistence not to do so.
3) It makes her look cool.

#94- Law of The Force- Most Anime heroes are blessed with a unique sort of ability
that enables bad things to happen to those that deserve it or makes things like
bullets or debris totally miss them (Also referred to as "Dumb Luck"), even though
they are mostly unaware of it. Those who have this ability include Vash the
Stampede, Captain Justy Ueki Tylor, and Jar Jar Binks.

#95- Law of Naughty Tentacles- All Anime Tentacles are VERY horny and will rape any
human female, regardless of age ("She’s 18! No! Really, she is! I’m not lying!...")
First Corollary- Even when raped or molested by tentacles, Hentai Anime
girls eventually get into it & begin squealing in ecstasy. NO one knows WHY this is,
but some theorize there may be some kind of chemical that is secreted through the
skin of the tentacle...
Second Corollary- Women who are impregnated by a tentacle creature never
experience morning sickness, and also find it to be intensely pleasurable (Also
known as the Goofy Meter Redline Effect).
Third Corollary- Similarly, the resulting... offspring of tentacle/human
relations is immediately sexually active, often impregnating its own mother again.

#96- Law of Cat-Fighting- Two females with a grudge can and will go at each other,
sometimes ripping off clothes. Sometimes it escalates so much, that property damage
begins to occur.
First Corollary- A running fight can be so destructive, you can follow it
from a distance just by watching for the smoke. (Also known as the "A-ko/B-ko
Thing")

#97- Law of Healing- Most anime heroes have a Wolverine-like healing factor that
enables them to regenerate from a massive wound or broken bone within minutes. Being
immortal sometimes helps. (Also known as the "Priss Effect".)

#98- Law of Stereotype Crew Characteristics- All ships, either waterborne or
spaceborne, have the following crew members:
1) The captain
2) His Lieutenant
3) Various female technical staff
4) A hotshot pilot
5) A cute little girl/twins (either stowaways or not)
6) The Doctor
7) The Doctor’s assistant (either a spy or not)
Weighted among the crew are various quirks which include:
1) Extreme coolness/luck
2) Amazing Intelligence
3) Incredible irritation
4) Extreme cuteness
5) Irresponsible drunkenness
6) Homophobicness
7) Emotionless (Idiots.)

#99- Law of Sparklines- Whenever a character of the main character’s interest
appears, flowers, sparkles, or abstract circles of pastel colors appear around said
character, or both. Roses with exaggerated thorns appear when it is dangerous love.
No one knows why this is, though most have a theory: Anime characters are freaks! At
least, Marker Apenname seems to think so...

#100- Law of Anime Events- Much like wrestling, anything and everything can happen.

(I found this poem once and thought it was really good, can't remember where I found it though. If you know a soldier that is family or just a good friend, please post this into your account to show you're supporting them.)

Fidler's Green

Halfway down the trail to hell,

In a shady meadow green

Are the souls of all dead troopers camped,

Near a good old-time canteen,

And this eternal resting place

Is known as Fiddler's Green

Marching past, straight through to Hell

The Infantry are seen

Accompanied by the Engineers,

Artillery and Marines,

For none but the shades of Calvarymen,

Dismount at Fiddler's Green

Though some go curving down the trail

To seek a warmer scene,

No trooper ever gets to Hell

Ere he's emptied his canteen

And so rides back to drink agian

With friends at Fiddler's Green

And so when man and horse go down

Beneath a saber keen,

Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee

You stop your bullet keen,

And the hostiles come to get your scalp,

Just empty your canteen,

And put your pistol to your head

And go to Fidler's Green

And I beheld in her hand/A bloody, blue rose/beauty forever stained by scarlet/dreams never gained without blood/and love everlasting/tasted upon the thorns

Blue Rose by E. A. Nowland

A Little More About Myself: Alright, I absolutely love to daydream. It's one of the few things that keeps me sane, and it's also what gives me the inspiration about my stories. Because of my imagination, I also love to read, because when I read, my eyes look at the words but inside my head, it's like watching a movie. It was because of this that I was reading adult fiction in third grade. I also love to write, I hate grammar and sentence structure crap they teach in schools but I love to write with a passion. Honestly, I don't watch a lot of T.V. Most I watch is about two hours a week but this isn't including how much time I'm on the playstation, but like I said, most of the time, I'm daydreaming or reading something. I don't mind sports, as a matter fact I love to play football, but I'm not a very team oriented person and I also have problems with coaches. Don't ask why.

Writing Style: I rely heavily on my imagination and daydreaming for my inspiration, but while I'm writing I'll play some music that will go with what I'm writing and change what I'm listening to depending what part that is in the works. If you haven't guessed, music is a heay inspiration as well. When I'm done with a new chapter, I'll reread it twice over and try to find mistakes that I have missed or add plot material that makes the story better. After I post the chapter I'll reread my story over agian and find what I need to add in the next chapter.

I also have a high standard for my writing and if I don't hit the bar like I'm suppose to, then I'll scrap the chapter and start over with it. Fans are everything to me when it comes to writing and I don't wish to disappoint them. I don't mind helpful hints and stuff but people cross the line when they begin to tell me how to write my stories. I'm not a little preschooler and I always plan out my stories extremely well before I even think of typing a word. My favorite thing to do though when writing is to try different concepts that nobody uses, are used but are not well written, or the particular stories that involved it are abandoned.

My speciallty in my writing would have to be my action scenes. I've been called the 'God of Action Scenes', but I'm someone that tries to be modest, I'm just fine with just saying that I got talent in making kick ass fight scenes that people actually like. I have absolutely no talent in fluff scenes, that's like going to another planet for me, but I'm decent when it comes to character development and inbetweens. Humor wise, I've got a witty sense of humor that I try to use as often as possible and I have no problems with saying that I can be really sarcastic, mainly thanks to growing up with a dad and a brother that are as sarcastic as hell.

If you didnt' know, I add a lot of humor to my stories. I'm partially an upbeat guy and hate the angst that's been invading our country and I've made it my mission to write stories that people enjoy, but have a good dosage of character development while still keeping the action scenes that I'm well known for. My stories still have plot twists and the makings of a great story, but they don't have the darkness that many have been seen with.

Favorite Types of Stories: I don't have a particular taste or notice a pattern with what I like, but I have noticed that most of my interests lean towards AUs. Pairings have to be canon when I read because I can't imagine the character with someone else, but if it is really, REALLY well written, I could probably stomach it. Another type of fic that I like is the crossover, but like a good deal of the ideas seen on this web site, they're pretty badly written. I have read some good ones though that I can't wait to be updated.

I have nothing against Yaoi but as a straight guy, It's more annoying than anything. I mean if God wanted us that way, he would have made us that way. I'm also not a lemon person, and I'm pretty sure that my girlfriend would shoot me if I tried to read one.

In real world books, I have my own library and I like a wide variety of stuff including mystery, fantasy, techno, thriller, sci fi and a lot of other stuff.

Stories In the Works:

Naruto: Nine Demon Songs: (N:NDS) Originally called The Jinchuuriki Nine, but I had to rewrite the story and get it up to par, fix grammar mistakes, patch up plot holes and make the storyline better, and a lot of other crap. Before I even began writing this, I constantly daydreamed about this one until I got it the way I wanted it to be. I have the big picture down, but the nuts and bolts are killing me, but most of the time, it comes naturally for me. This is only part one of the story as a whole and is more towards the group finding out about their powers and meeting each other, in other words, it's epic length. In the story, I've tried to make the action better than in the originall story because I'm sorely disappointed in the anime because it just doesn't seem as fast paced as I like. I already planned the finally battle of the story and it will involve a huge battle with all nine jinchuuriki and one Akatasuki member. If you all are fans of the basic pairings such as Naruto/Hinata, Sasuke/Sakura, Neji/Tenten, then this is the story for you. For those of you who followed this story with a keen eye ever since I started writing are going to be disappointed; I have taken off this story due to how difficult it has become to write. I may revisit this concept in the future, but please don't get your hopes up.

Harry Potter and the Destiny of Time: (HP and TDOT) This second story will be a Harry Potter fic as the name suggests. Like my other story, this one will be an AU. Basically Harry gets some cool powers, but this story is going to be a challenge to write because, yes, Harry gets kick-ass powers, but I don't want him to be god like, so there will be limits to it. Me and my best friend BEST THING IN LIFE IS STORIES started out working togethor but decided to turn it into a competition. We are going to start with the same first chapter, but we'll turn the story into the way we want it and the person with the most reviews basically wins. If the story gets put into a C2, well, that's just extra kudos to us. So take a look at it and give it a chance. Unfortunately, I'm sad to say that I'm deleting this story permanently for a couple reasons. The main one is that it's highly taxing to write and the beginning is too unbelieveable for such a thing. Someday I might pick up the pen again for this concept, but for a while, I'm just going to leave it in the back of my mind.

Naruto: Shattered Eyes: (N:SE) My most popular and highly anticipated story as hinted by the number of reviews and people that have saved it under favorites. I had never expected this story to turn out so popular, but I was wrong. I love the idea of giving Naruto a Limit where he copy other Bloodline Limits, but too often do authors screw everything up by either having the worse grammar on the planet, making Naruto god-like (which really pisses me off), or, if the author is competant, never update whatsoever. My plan is to remedy this and create an awesome story that will utilize my action writing capabilities. Hopefully I will do my best on this story and make something that people are actually happy to read, but preventing Naruto from going god on us all. I have decided that there will be no major pairings until the sequel comes out, mainly because it's just a little early and I mean for crying out loud, they're only twelve; they are not ready for a relationship. This story will also be epic length since it has become so popular.

Kingdom Hearts: Ebony Angel Feathers: (KH:EAF) I did this one mainly because there is a serious lack of good fics in this part of fan-fic(dot)net, mainly because of those crazy fan-girls that haunt the place. I'm also not expecting this to score as many reviews, mainly because it was like introducing a new concept to everyone, like full blown action scenes rather than just seeing someone clean out somebody else's tonsils. Like all my stories, it's AU, starting from the very beginning of the story of Kingdom Hearts. The bad guys are my own original creation with Ayden, Shiro, and Trinity being my absolute faves. Pairings are pretty basic, with the usual Sora/Kairi, Axel/Larxene, and Riku/OC. Until further notice, I have removed this story, mainly because it has one too many plotholes and the story line is very complicated. Top this off with me wanting to concentrate on my more popular stories, it only created a recipe for disaster. If you're a KH fan, please be assured that I will eventually post another story, but it will be much later.

Bleach: Memories of the Nevermore: (B:MotN) Honestly, I didn't know if I was going to continue this after posting it, but now it has become one of my most popular fics, so now I don't want to disappoint anyone, meaning that this one is going to stay. I love Bleach; I consider it to be one of my top five favorite mangas in existance. It features Ichigo time traveling (something that isn't new), but the twist is that he has a second zanpakuto name Amemitsukai that was created from Orihime's power. With this second chance, he plans on correcting the past and then to stop Aizen before he can take away his precious people. It will feature Kenpachi (possibly), Minamori, and Karin getting bankai, Yuzu becoming a Quincy archer, a good guy Grimmjow, Ichigo with a second bankai, Orihime with new powers and Tatsuki with her own latent spiritual powers. Of course, it will feature Chado, Renji, Rukia, Nel Tu, and the others in major roles. Oh, did I mention that I plan on Gin being a good guy? There will be pairings and lots of them, and of course, what would a Lithius fic be without an action scene? Currently, I'm revamping this fic. It'll take a little while unfortunately. When a new update will come out depends on my time (which I have issues with). Do be patient; Bleach isn't my forte, at least compared to my Naruto fics.

Naruto: Quicksilver: (N:Q) Once, many moons ago, I thought, 'what would it be like if Kushina had been a kage of some kind.' Then I thought, 'what the hell? I haven't seen it done yet.' And thus Quicksilver was born. This fic is the winner of the first poll I posted, winning an overwhelming majority of votes. Story wise, Naruto's mother was the fomer Yondaime Mizukage and leader of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, bringing about a strange change of events that includes him finding her mysterious sword, Suigin, which grows stronger and gains abilities as he develops throughout life. Haku is going to live in this fic, and not only that, he will be a girl. Pairings are still up in the air, but I'm pretty sure that I might lean away from the Hinata/Naruto pairing and go for something a bit more uncommon, simply because I could use a change of pace. I only ask that you keep an open mind when reading this one.

Tenko no Renkinjutsushi: (TnR) My first crossover with high expectations. This story is a collaboration between me and my beta reader, 17th Immortal. For a while, we swapped ideas until we developed something. Although the Naruto/FMA crossover has been done hundreds of times, you won't see another like this. It's alchemy in the Narutoverse done in a way unseen, not to mention well written and planned. I'm not going to offer any spoilers, but I promise it's an enjoyable fic that'll keep you guessing and excited.

Fan Art: To people who chose to do anything like this, all I can is thank you and that I am appreciative beyond worrds. So let's take a look at what people have done.

http://jediclaire.deviantart.com/art/Namikaze-Minato-Jinchuuriki-75559381- This is just awesome. Thank you JediClaire. Minato in his no-tailed form.

http://moons-blood.deviantart.com/art/Kyoukagan-87537720- Absolutely well done. This is artwork on the Kyoukagan and what it looks like in it's different forms. Thanks Moon's-Blood for this.

http://missoddity.deviantart.com/art/Naruto-STFU-106014104- A sketch inspired by Naruto: Shattered Eyes: Naruto himself. Though it's not one hundred percent accurate, I liked it so much that I had to post it on my profile.

http://s1lv3r0n.deviantart.com/art/Kyoukagan-100173160- No word can come to mind just how awesome this picture is. silv3r0n did an excellent job.

http://ryouichi-chan.deviantart.com/art/Naruto-Shattered-Eyes-129243651- A very accurate rendition of the Kyoukagan, along with Haku being reflected in the eye. This is some serious skill. GREAT JOB!

If anybody else has any artwork they would love to send me, that would be awesome. I love it, and I would love it if people would draw me more pictures. I may be gifted in art, but no matter how much I try, I suck at manga drawing.

Special Thanks: Okay, I have to say thanks to The 17th Immortal for being a loyal reviewer and my beta reader. I value his and everyone else's opinions of my stories. I would also like to thank the senior writers who took time to give some much needed advice, if they didn't, I would probably still be writing like a newb. I would also like to thank A Common Hero, Warper and others for reviewing my stories and asking the right questions, as only they have been able to provide the fuel for my ideas.

And of course, I would like to thank all of you, my fans and anyone who has read my stories, for your reviews and for helping my writing. You guys are my inspiration, without your thoughts and love for my stories, I wouldn't be writing.
