I decided to update because I've had to do alot of changing in the last year. Whether it's been for better or for worse we have yet to see.

I was recently going over the profile of Cataclysmic Eclipse, and I have to agree with them that writing is art, and I want to promote my chosen craft as much as possible. I will work hard to make beautiful writing that people can enjoy. Ultimately, though, I write for myself, and my own enjoyment. I want to be honest and clear about that. Writing brings me joy, so I write everyday, with out fail.

What am I writing now? Kratos. That's a given.

I'm going to be honset again and say that Kratos is singly the most enjoyable and believeable cahracter I have ever encountered in a video game. To say I love that character would not be incorect. I'm also writng a massive epic SI called Finding Fantasy, because my friends mean so much to me.

Other than that, I just write to write.

I went over ToS again and rediscovered what it is I love about it. It's cahracters are so compelling and endearing that you loose yourself in the story when you play the game. My experience here has been amazing and I'll never forget it. Those who review my stories when I update- thank you so much. I want to go on to make you happy. I want you to like what I write for myself.

TOS fic- Summon spirits.

Forces: Creberus of Death, Abysal of Nothingness, Pandora of Chaos, Fatum of Fate, Prometheus of Birth (building things...), Apolicto of Destruction, Ovrios of Peace, Vincero of War.

Virtues: Unudos, of Unity, Aphrodite of Love, Armani of Hope, Libra of Truth, Liart of Honor, Hermati of Beauty.

I wanted to add other things, interestingly enough.

I want to write a Self Insert, you know. I call it On Penalty of Death, and yes, it is KratosxMeOCish.

No, I am not a Mary-Sue, and yea, I do end up in Sylvarant in a pretty believable way. Its gonna be pretty angsty, and probably T plus for graphic scenes and depressive content.

I also want to write a CruLloyd.

And a AnnaIsRessurected Fic.

You know, all the usual.

I also have a little Kraine in the works called Sake. It's a bit more... believable than some of the Kraine I've read. Well written, but OOC. Well, mine isn't going to be.

I'm also working on A ToS Mythology, which does not include any of the cannon characters.

AU ToS Summaries

AU STORY ONE:

"Automaton: Contingency"

3000 years ago, the Orginaization Cruxis abandoned Aesila to fend for itself. As a result, the people forsook the technlogy of Mana for the technology of steam. One day, a short in the brain of Cruxis Unit Two caused him to flee the organization, set on a twisted revenge against the Burnell clan for a wrong committed against three of its fisrt four members. Cruxis Units Three and Four apprehended this criminal and sealed him in Sylvarant City, and ancient structure abandon by man.

She awakens CU-2, who imprints on her as his new "General." Stuck with the Automaton, supposedly a robot being that the Modern World cannot reproduce, Anna has no choice but to keep him as her slave. But what if Automatons are not really robots? What if K'var's intentions are not as pure as Anna assumes? And what it, despite all odds, CU-2 had fallen in love with Anna Griff?

AU STORY TWO:

"Urbania: Catalyst"

Electricity was discovered by man, and is controlled by The Sanctu Corpperation, who monopolized the energy business. This Corp. ,however, is rumored to be involved with The Desian Organization, a group who kidnapps unsuspecting humans to try to please the Holy Organization -Cruxis- in their own twisted way. The Church of Martel, however, knows that The Cruxis and Desians are opposing, and follow the credos to create a "Chosen" who will save their slowly dying world.

Anna Griff, a woman escaped from the Desians, is working six jobs to try to make ends meet. Her life takes a drastic turn one day when her self professed "Job Scout," a hawkish Half-Elf named Kai gets her drunk and she wakes up next to Ryan, the elusive VP of Sanctu Corp. Ryan is an odd man of contradictions, kind and cold at the same time, and he holds a secret fit to change Anna's life forever.

A Note to those who actually read these profiles...

RespectTheHobos, VampyProxy, Kairi Pop, and LetsSingTheDoomSong are all my real life good friends. Read their stories. I am now adding Yaoilovinkitsune to that list.

Non ToS Stories:

Dancing with Dragons

Life was terrible for Seiene, until she met the three Dragon Knights, and is brought from life as a bar maid to being the PR person for the Dragon Lord himself. Chaos will ensue. On hold until I straighen out plot bugs.

Finding Fantasy

"Life. Death. It's a circle. Just like this cycle of tyranny and freedom. It just goes to show what goes around really does come around." -Dymond, SOLDIER Class Second

"Oh... my... god... It's... it's... Cloud Strife! Hey, you're that Mercenary, aren't you?! The one who helped me out of that jam! I'm Jazz! I can't believe it's really you! I thought I'd never see you again!" -Jazz, member of AVALANCE

"Kya ha ha can shove her lipstick tube up her ass, for all I care." -Beth, Shin-Ra Vice President

"Reeve, you're really starting to get on my nerves. Can it." -Dani, Turk

"Chocobo stables? Thanks but no thanks kid, I'm not interested in those smelly bird-brains." -Jesse, JENOVA Projevt Victim

"Oh! Hi! You're Vincent Valentine, right? Jazz told me some about you, after she was done swooning over Cloud." DG, Nomad/AVALANCHE member

I chose quotes that I thought would best reflect my cahracterizations of my friends and I in my insert. It basically follows the storyline of FFVII.

The Anniversary

Well, it passed on the 13th, but I had to mention it. The game I love so much, Tales of Symphonia, has been released for five years now. Congralations, and kudos to all my ToS bretheren.
