Author has written 6 stories for Klonoa, +Anima, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

I'm pretty simple really - I'm a just an average person that loves to write, listen to heavy music, read (especially manga), surf the net, RP online, spend time with animals, and play video games. See, I told you I was pretty basic, but then again I guess that is just scratching the surface... Well, lets just leave it at that shall we?

Status Update 8/15/11:

Thanks for all the suggestions received~ However, I have settled on two other fics (one more Ace Attorney fic and a new +Anima one, see the 'What's Next?' section of the profile for details on them) to begin aside from the recently started 'Precious Scars' for a grand total of three. I will continue to keep all other suggestions, requests, and ideas in mind for the future, but with three fics already being more than I usually take on at once, I don't believe I will be starting anything else any time soon. Feel free to still send in ideas if you'd like and I'll keep them in mind, but the above likely still applies unless I can squeeze in the occasional one-shot.

I hope you enjoy the new fics~ I'm going to be trying to keep my chapters a little shorter than they were in Crossed Hearts to allow for more frequent updates now that I'm working on more than one main story.

Status Update 9/7/11:

I've just uploaded the prologue for Ghosts In The Machinery, my new +Anima fic. The next chapter of Precious Scars is about 75% complete; I'll probably upload the prologue of the other Ace Attorney fic I have planned at the same time as that chapter.


FANFICTION.NET WRITING PROJECTS -


Six so far (in order of publishing date from newest to oldest):

Ghosts In The Machinery: A +Anima fic that centers on the origin of the +anima phenomenon and the concept of Astaria and Sailand belonging to a post-apocalyptic world (original theory and idea suggested by Moofy-Fan). Mostly follows Cooro.

Summary: The world of Astaria and Sailand was once a very different place...a place that has long been forsaken by history. Skyscrapers once reached for the horizon, lightbulbs once fought off darkness instead of candles, and paved roads once echoed with the mechanical drone of car engines. But something happened that took all that away, that left everything as nothing but an empty shell that could only start growing all over again from the barren, primitive landscape it became. It was as if the entire world had been reset in just a matter of days. Humanity preserved, and, with the past locked away and forgotten, the world redeveloped into one in the early stages of society. ...But what caused it? ...Why did the 'Old World' fall apart? And why did +anima only start occurring afterwards? What dark secrets are buried beneath the ground and the pages left blank in the history books? Whether they wish to or not, Cooro and his companions will have no choice but to find out. ...Is the past set to repeat itself once again?

Pairings: N/A (there might be some slight CooroXNana and FlyXBlanca hints, but due to the character ages/plot, romance isn't going to play a major role)

Category: +Anima

Status: Just started - prologue is up

Rating Info: "T" for violence, including death, mild suggestive themes, and brief language

Precious Scars: A drama set roughly six months after the happenings of Apollo Justice, mostly follows Phoenix.

Summary: Desperate to regain his former title, Phoenix Wright makes a strange deal in order to get his badge back, but his first new case isn't what he bargained for. His girlfriend, Iris, is dead, his pupil, Apollo, is acting strangely, and his daughter, Trucy, has gone missing. The top suspect behind it all? His client. And if that wasn't enough to handle, something sinister is once again brewing in the isolated village of Kurain. To find and cut the thread tying everything together, it will take both everything he has and the assistance of his old circle of friends. But once the pieces are finally put together, and the puzzle's picture is unveiled, will there be anything left to salvage? ...Can anyone ever truly escape the skeletons in their closet?

Pairings: PhoenixXIris in the beginning, PhoenixXMaya later in the story, EdgeworthXFranziska

Category: Ace Attorney

Status: Recently started - Chapter Two up. Chapter Three coming soon.

Rating Info: "T" for violence, including death, mild suggestive themes, alcohol references, and brief language

Let Him Sleep (oneshot): Single chapter Klonoa fic that attempts to look at the "Dream Traveler" concept from an unusual angle.

Summary: A mother is starting to worry about the way her traumatized, severely handicapped boy is cutting himself off from the world, spending hours and hours asleep. But, he does it with an almost hauntingly contented smile on his face. Does anyone have the heart to wake him?

Pairings: KlonoaXLolo

Category: Klonoa

Status: Complete! Just a short oneshot made mostly out of nostalgia.

Rating Info: "K+" for mild trauma and mild suggestive themes

Crossed Hearts: A high-fantasy, dark-toned +Anima fic that takes place eight years after a supposed splitting of the main group of four. Mostly follows Nana and Cooro.

Summary: It's been eight years since Cooro, Senri, Nana, and Husky said their last goodbyes and parted ways, and in those eight years, Nana has made a comfortable living working for a local Astarian merchant. Having always wondered what happened to the friends she left behind, she is initially delighted when she crosses paths with Cooro once again, but with him anxious, quiet, and claiming to no longer be a +anima, it isn't long before she realizes that this 'Cooro' is drastically different from the childhood friend she remembers...and when she makes the decision to give him shelter for a night, her hard-earned peace is yanked right out from under her. When a mysterious, dangerous girl calling herself a raven +anima appears on the scene, and when rising tensions between the governments of Astaria and Sailand and +anima leads them all back together, the whole group of four finds themselves locked in a desperate fight for survival...and caught up in secrets that they wish they never would've known as the truth about what changed Cooro starts to come out. ...And is it even possible for Nana, Senri, and Husky to protect both themselves and him at the same time?

Pairings: CooroXNana

Category: +Anima

Status: Complete!

Rating Info: "T" for violence, including death, mild suggestive themes, and brief language

Shades Of Gray: A Klonoa fic that takes place a while after Lunatea's Veil, focuses largely on Leorina and Tat.

Summary: It's been years since Klonoa departed from Lunatea, and the Kindom of Sorrow's bell was rung, but when a suspicious sickness takes the life of La-lookosha's High Priestess, a whole new set of problems slowly starts to arise. And with the Kingdom or Sorrow almost fully re-built, Leorina and Tat are starting to go back to their old ways. But when they come across a strange book during one of their thefts, they may find that there are some questions better left un-answered... And aside from that, Leorina's thirst for power has ended, hasn't it?

Pairings: N/A

Category: Klonoa

Status: Hiatus. Not too far into the story...a second priority fic. Most likely dropped. Don't expect updates.

Rating Info: "T" for violence, alcohol references, and brief language.

The Dark Sapphire: A dark-toned Klonoa fic that mainly follows Lolo.

Summary: The "Dark Sapphire" is a mysterious gem that contains dark powers gathered from the energy of nightmares - however, only the Dream Traveler can untilize this weapon. This fact leads to the vile stone being mainly ignored, even when the long forgotten thing is found by the villainous magician Ussannis - for everyone knows there is no way he could possibly use it. But, when Klonoa is secretly sought out and killed late one evening, his body is taken over by a new terror that has emerged from out of the shadows - his murderer: a killer who has found the only way to take the powers of forbidden Sapphire for himself. Now he will journey along with his victim's friends as they lead him right to his prize without even knowing anything is wrong.

Pairings: Slight KlonoaXLolo

Category: Klonoa

Status: Err...I have the last chapter 3/4 completed, but to put it quite simply, it came out very badly, and I haven't updated this fic in a long time. Most likely dropped unless I get sudden, completely random inspiration. My first fic way back when, it was fine for the time but no longer my best work - maybe one day I'll rewrite it.

Rating Info: "T" for violence, including death, and brief, mild language

What's Next?

There is currently one planned upcoming fic:

To A Cinder: A post-AJ thriller/drama - Phoenix and Trucy are in danger, and part of the responsibility for their safety has fallen into Apollo's hands. Mostly follows Apollo.

Summary: When someone sets fire to the Anything Agency office in the middle of the night, it's only the start of a vicious series of attacks against the Wrights. Someone is clearly targeting the them. ...But who? And why? As the relentless, violent assaults continue, the incidents leave more questions than answers. When Apollo finds himself defending the only known suspect - none other than one Miles Edgeworth, will Phoenix be able to trust him to make sure that the right person gets put behind bars? His and Trucy's lives may depend on it...

Pairings: PhoenixXMaya (not a main focus of the story, mostly in the background)

Category: Ace Attorney

Status: Coming soon!

Rating Info: "T" for violence, including death, mild suggestive themes, alcohol references, and brief language

Feel free to send story ideas or suggestions my way~ I can't promise anything, but I'd love to hear them. Though try to keep them to canon characters (not OCs), and either to +Anima, Ace Attorney, or another series (like Tsukihime, NieR, Deadly Premonition, or Tales Of, for instance) that I've expressed a liking of in the "Favorites" section at the bottom of the profile.


MY RPG MAKER GAME -


For anyone unfamiliar with it, RPG Maker is a simple, beginner's indie game engine that allows the creation of RPG style games. I've been working with the VX version for a while, and currently have one main project:

Glass

Genre: Turn-based RPG

Rating: Will likely end up as the equivalent of a 'T'

Current Status: Demo 2.0 near completion. Demo 1.0 was formally available for download, but was removed for being an inaccurate representation of the current state of the project. The overall game is about 22% complete.

Plot:

"the fragility of the human spirit is a lot like that of glass - it can break at even the slightest disturbance.
sometimes the pieces are big enough to easily put back together, and
sometimes the fragments are so small that it's almost impossible to tell what they once were.
but regardless of whatever beauty and perfection the original work held, and whether by accident or with will,
each shattered piece carries an edge sharp enough to draw blood."

The last thing 10 year old Ervay remembers is the family road trip leading towards his Grandmother's cabin and the summer camp he and his twin sister were to attend, but he wakes to find himself alone in an odd castle - a castle that holds entire villages, dungeons, and bizarre landscapes all within the scope of its walls...and that grows increasingly twisted and convoluted the further he descends.

The only thing it lacks is an exit.

Confused, frightened, and separated from his parents, the young boy has no other choice but to start exploring the corridors of the castle in search of them.
Along with many other faces, he soon meets a peculiar young woman who claims to have lived alone in the castle, her "world", as she calls it, for years. Hostile and sarcastic, she's hardly an image of comfort, but she might be his only hope when it comes to finding his family...or a way out.

Will Ervay be able to release himself from the confines of the castle? Who is the strange girl who seems bent on keeping him there? What's the truth behind the existence of this unnatural palace? And will he be strong enough to face that truth once he can no longer deny the answer in front of his face?
