Jordan: Everyone, can we please have your attention?!

Everyone: (looks intently at Jordan and Jacob)

Jacob: It has come to our attention that Sole Exception isn't as good as it could or should be, as well as the presence of plot holes too numerous to mention. Therefore, we're announcing a MASSIVE retcon/ overhaul of Soul Exception. However, this means that the story will have to be temporarily removed from the site.

Jaron: Seriously?!

Rika: The hell, guys?!

Max: To be honest, this is coming out of left field from our point of view.

James: Indeed. And besides, the fic was fine on its own.

Jordan: That's the problem.

Kaitlin: Huh?

Jacob: It's fine to our standards, but not to the standards of other people like our readers. We're doing this all for them, not ourselves.

Jaron: That is nice, I really do mean it! But what about--

Jordan: Don't worry, we'll post the chapters after we get finnished with them, just like old times.

Jacob: Luckily, we won't be rewriting every single chapter over from scratch. So it shouldn't take too long.

Max: Uh, guys, the Q&A...

Kaitlin: I'll get the Q&A ready.

--Q & A

There are so many people talking in the profile page! Who's doing the actual fic writing?

Jacob and Jordan.

Okay... But, then, who are the others?

Original characters created by Jordan and Jacob. The profiles are down below. Scroll down to read them.

Have any of your characters been used in other stories?

Actually, only one original character has appeared in fanfiction before, that's Jaron. More on that in his bio, though.

Are you guys lazy?

Depends. In terms of the profile page, yes. In terms of fic-writing, no! However, now that school's started, it'll be harder than ever to keep up with demand.

--List of Original Characters (with full bios)

~Jaron Roxai

First appearance: Crossover Bros. Brawl (by Gantz Gun)

Species: Can't tell (between human and hedgehog; switches between the two randomly)

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Birthday: ? (can't remember)

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 148 lbs.

Hair color: Light brown

Eye color: either green or blue; it changes occasionally.

Overall Appearance: Tall for his age. Wears Jordan's red jacket, as well as a blue shirt underneath that has a flaming meteor insignia on it. Also has blue jeans, and a pair of running shoes a la 'Sonic the Hedgehog'. Has a green glove on his right hand, as well as a pair of glasses (last two, he doesn't need at all, oddly enough).

Elemental Attribute: Unknown.

Preferred Battle Theme: Vulnerability (from Trauma Center: Second Opinion)

Job: Unemployed.

Personality: Fun-loving and slightly goofy, he's a good guy to be around with. He loves to have fun, but likes it even better when others are enjoying themselves too. He hates oppression of any kind and always judges a person by their character (if any). He happens to dislike people who are so hoity-toity and people who are so pompous they should be jailed for 'obscene behavior'. He loves 'the thrill of the chase' the most. Used to have a side-job as a Runner for a man named Merc.

Likes: Friends, soft fruit, peace, The Three Stooges (favorite stooge is Moe), and other stuff that I'm too lazy to list.

Dislikes: Evil, oppression (as stated above), sacrificing others for anything, coffee, nobles and royalty (the ones with sucky personalities), Kavma, et cetera.

Prized Possesions:

-Raptor Sword: A sword that looks rather like the starting weapon for Tidus in Final Fantasy 10, he recieved this blade from a teenager not unlike himself when he was eleven. It may seem simple enough, but there is more to this blade than anyone--including Jaron--would think... He fights using the sword... oh, say, 40 percent of the time, and only when he gets into really hairy situations. He normally uses his hands and feet with normal martial arts 60 percent, combining it with his awe-inspiring speed, making him a most well-rounded adversary, and an invaluable ally.

-Keychain: This has the word "Amsterdam" on it, along with some stars. He recieved it from the same person who gave him the Raptor Sword, but there doesn't seem to be anything important about it.

-Green Glove: Regular glove like the ones worn by Ash Ketchum. Obtained from the same person who gave him the other two items.

-Red jacket: Jordan's favorite red jacket. Don't ask how he got it.

-Acme Clockwork Tank Mark Deux: I don't know how he got this, but it's...wow...

-Gameboy SP: Looks like a red SP, but it's actually a computer.

-Magic Bracelet: Allows those who wear it to transform into anything. He got it by winning at rock-paper-scissors with someone.

-Trebuchet: Yes, a trebuchet. Where he got it (and where he put it) is beyond me.

-Smash Ball (Obtained in Sole Exception): A Smash Ball from the Smash Bros. series. This ball is different from the others in the way it functions, however.

Dreams and Goals: Not many, but he would like to challenge the legendary Sonic the Hedghog one day. He just doesn't know how out of his league he is...

Other facts: Even though he has a diverse arsenal of techniques, he never names them (he claims it to be unintersting and a waste of time). Others come up names for him (such as his Healing Wind, named by Sam in Crossover Bros. Brawl). Also, for reasons beyond him, Jaron sometimes transforms into a hedgehog himself, without his own consent. He doesn't really know why, of course. He also is unaware of the fact that there is something dangerous inside him...

~Kaitlin

First appearance: Sole Exception (ch2).

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Age: 16

Birrthday: February 4

Height: 5'9"

Weight: Not telling (yet).

Hair color: Bright red (natural color)

Eye color: Hazel

Overall Appearance: Around the same height as Jaron. She keeps her hair in a ponytail and wears a green shirt. Also wears a pair of khakis and sandals. She never wears makeup, declaring it a waste of time.

Elemental Attribute: Fire.

Job: Works part-time as a waitress for a diner. Her wage is 8.46 dollars an hour (which she constantly complains is too much, but to no avail).

Personality: She's the 'no-nonsense' type, always getting straight to the point when details are unnessesary and getting the job done. Most of the time, she likes to be creative, which is proven by the artwork in her sketchbook (said book is off limits to everyone else). She's never afraid to get down and dirty when she thinks she needs to.

Likes: Her friends, fried rice, art, jogging, canoeing, et cetera.

Dislikes: Morons, emos, terrible cooking, sadists, etc.

Dreams and Goals: Doesn't really have any goal to speak of, but she likes to help her friend Jaron now and then.

Other notes: Jaron first met Kaitlin when he was chased off a cliff into the sea. As Jaron was a horrible swimmer, Kaitlin was lucky enough to be nearby. When she saved him, she was the first person to see him in his hedgehog form, but decided to keep it a secret. In the author's booth (our way of saying where we are when we write fanfics) she works as an assistant author.

~Max Chadi

First Appearance: Sole Exception ch3

Gender: Male

Species: Human...I think...

Age: 17

Birthday: March 25

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 144 lbs

Hair color: Dark blonde (mostly wears a hat)

Overall Appearance: Wears a red cap, as stated above. He wears a white t-shirt with red jeans, and has a pair of black and blue shoes. An interesting thing to note are the birthmarks on his cheeks--a wavy line on the left cheek, and a zig-zag on the right(HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ASH OR PIKACHU, POKEMON FANS).

Elemental Attribute: Light.

Job: Unemployed

Personality: He's a good guy to be around with. Sometimes he's quiet, other times he's quite talkative. He also seems capable of eating everything edible, even if it's rotten. He's been trying to see if humans can use Pokemon abilities, but it's uncomfirmed if he's accomplished this. He also seems to like being around Kaitlin.

Likes: Pokemon, eating any food in general (has the appetite of a Munchlax), hang gliding, looking through his Pokedex every night, probably Kaitlin (not confirmed yet)

Dislikes: Pokemon Trainers (to a degree), Team Rocket, Pokeballs, raw or rotten meat (the only things he won't eat), people calling him by his full name, Maxwell (it makes him feel old), people who make other people do their work for them.

Other Notes: Max and his friend, James, a Lucario, met Jaron and Kailtin while looking for the Legendary Pokemon, Shaymin. After some debate, they decided to accompany them. Max isn't a Pokemon Trainer, because he hates the idea of others doing the work while he does nothing (he's a 'take action' kind of guy). Despite the fact that he doesn't like Pokeballs, he carries a modified one with him for self-defense, though it's not clear how he uses it. He actually is capable of speaking in PokeTalk (funky slang for communication with Pokemon), though it's clear that he's VERY bad at it.

Max's Pokemon Companions:

James

First Appearance: Same as Max

Gender: Male

Species: Lucario (with red fur)

Age: Unknown

Birthday: Hasn't been stated

Height: 4'5"

Weight: 119 lbs

Fur color: Red, as stated (PAY ATTENTION!)

Eye color: Red (currently arguing about it)

Overall appearance: James, a Lucario, is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon that's around four feet in height. his forepaws are black and he has pointed spikes on his back. In addition, there's a third spike on his chest. He also has a yellow torso (Jordan personally thinks that the yellow part is clothing, though he hasn't proven this yet).

Other Information: James was found by Max and his parents a few years ago when he was a Riolu. When they couldn't find his parents, he was allowed to stay with them. A lot of Pokemon Trainers have noticed his unique red color, and every time he and Max enter a town with trainers in it they get badgered by trainers wanting to trade their own Pokemon for James (something that irks them to no end).

Namine/Holly

First Appearance: Same as Max

Gender: Female

Species: Shaymin (and yes, I know that Shaymin are supposed to be genderless, but do you really think I CARE?!)

Age: Unknown

Birthday: Not stated

Height: 0'8"

Weight: 4.6 lbs

Fur color: Green

Eye color: Green

Overall Appearance: Looks like a hedgehog, but has green shrubbery on her back instead of spines

Other Information: Not much is really known about Namine or how she came to be where Jaron and Kaitlin were at. It's also not clear if Namine is just a nickname Jaron came up with, or is her real name (though Jaron acted as if it was the latter)

Roxas

First Appearance: Sole Exception ch5

Gender: Male

Species: Shaymin, but in Sky Form

Age: Not mentioned

Birthday: Same as above

Height: 1'4"

Weight: 11.4 lbs.

Fur Color: White/Green

Eye Color: Green

Description: The fur on its back appears to have shifted into something like a mohawk. It also has two red petals on one side of its neck, looking like a scarf or neckerchief, and flat wing-like ears. It has a small ruff of fur on the front of its neck.

Other Information: Seeing as Roxas has just been introduced, absolutley nothing is known about him or how he met the group.

~Raisho

First Appearance: Two Worlds, One Door (ch3, not including the prologue)

Gender: Male

Species: Human/Fox mix

Age: 16

Birthday: September 3

Height: 5'7"

Wieght: 135 lbs.

Hair/fur color: redish-orange

Eye color: green

Overall Appearance: A red-furred Mobian fox. Let us expound upon that; he looks like a red-furred Miles 'Tails' Prower from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. UNLIKE Tails, however, he doesn't have a tail, and he isn't wearing just shoes. Granted, he DOES wear shoes just like Tails' shoes. He also wears a jean jacket, yellow undershirt, and red khakis.

Job: Unemployed.

Likes: Friends, Father Lorenzo, people of an accepting and open-minded nature.

Dislikes: bigots, people who hate other people for what they are, or something they can't change.

Other Notes: Raisho has been prejudiced against because of his heritage of being both human and fox. Jordan and Jacob have been the first people to accept him for who he is. Also, he is a thief, but only steals to support himself, and only steals from those who deserve it. However, after doing so for so long, he has develpoed a kleptomania streak. He is currently traveling with Jacob and Jordan, who not only want him to see the world, but also with to cure him of his embarrassing kleptomania.

~Gabriel

First Appearance: First Appearance: Two Worlds, One Door (ch6, not including the prologue)

Gender: Male

Species: Human/Avian

Age: 17

Birthday: August 8.

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 140 lbs.

Hair Color: Light brown (VERY light, one might be tempted to call him red-headed, but he's not.)

Eye color: Hazel

Overall Appearance: Normally wears a white shirt and red pants, along with sandals (For some odd reason, he never wears shoes). He also has a pair of beige-colored wings on his back. He can hide these, though how he does so is unknown.

Job: Unemployed, however he aspires to be either an architect or a cook.

Likes: Mushrooms covered in honey, non-bittered herbs (mostly sage), fishing, (does not cook what he catches)

Dislikes: Blake, aggressive people, bad-smelling liquids (like coffee), charlatans (Charlatans are scam-runners).

Other Notes: Two brothers, named Blake and Gordan, picked Gabriel off the streets of Bonslii City when he was an infant. However, they weren't what you would call 'good parents.' They used him as a sort of theiving tool, and, unfortunately yes, abused him if he failed. However, Jordan and Jacob befriended him (with a lot of assistance from Raisho) and, to the delight of Gabriel, kicked Blake and Gordan's butts simultaniously. He is currently traveling with Jacob and Jordan's group.

~Rika

First Appaerance: Two Worlds, One Door (ch7, not including the prologue)

Gender: Female

Species: Human (gifted with PSI)

Age: 19

Birthday: March 14 (which, coincidentally, makes Jacob 3 months older than her, coincidentaly, to the day)

Height: 5'6"

Weight: Not telling.

Hair color: naturally red, with streaks of blond, making her hair look like a living sunset. It's done up in a spiked ponytail.

Eye color: light purple (one might be tempted to say 'lavender').

Overall Appearance: She has Purple eyes, twilight-orange hair done up in a spiky ponytail, a yellow scarf, green jeans (why green of all colors is beyond even us), a belt, steel-toed tennis shoes, and a white t-shirt with light-blue fade-in/out binary code.

Job: Unemployed officially, but gets spare cash by making wooden ocarinas outside her apartment in Capshii.

Likes: People who are kind, like her ocarinas, most sweets (her prefered treat is grape-flavored lolipops)... possibly Jacob (thusfar unconfirmed).

Dislikes: Cruel people, people who are unappreciative of her ocarinas, most vegetables... most likely just being around Jordan (as seen in their first encounter).

Other Notes: Born with PSI. Said ability comes with super-intelligence and perceptive powers. She and Jacob have been shown getting along very well very shortly after meeting. She's also stated that, if PSI skills were teachable, she would teach them (though who she would teach, or exactly what, hasen't been completely confirmed). Currently looking for an artifact (name unknown thusfar) that converts PSI energy into different forms of energy (claims she will use it to get out of paying her utilitiy bills). Has promised (privately, and to Jacob only) that she will permanently join the group when she gets to Capshii and learns of the artifact's location (and/or gets said artifact).

~Kavma

First Appearance: Crossover Bros Brawl (by Gantz Gun)

Gender: Apparently male

Species: None

Age: God knows

Birthday: ??

Height: 7'9"

Weight: 120 lbs.

Hair Color: Iron Gray

Eye Color: Who knows?

Overall Appearance: His clothing varies on the world he's on. In Toon Town, he wears a black suit with a tie and coattails.

Likes: Who knows?

Dislikes: Lucas, Toon Town.

Other Info: Absolutely nothing is known about Kavma or his motives. He once had a partnership with Dark Star Haze (Evil villian owned by Gantz Gun), but that ended due to unknown reasons. For unknown reasons, he has an odd dislike for Lucas from Mother 3, though this will be explained in a later fic. At the moment, he is currently in Toon Town under the guise of "Alphonse Corby", a freakishly rich man and host of the "VERY ANGRY SHOW."

List of our favorite authors:

lackofname: Liked Ocarina of Konoha as one of the best stories in history... but impatiently waiting on ANBU's Mask.

Gantz Gun: He is the kind of person who throws everything into the winds to make a good idea. He's also the first person to write a fanfic where Jaron made his first appearance; for that, we thank him. He also writes some stuff that is just plan hilarious.

PrincessKaina: She is awesome, that we can agree on. She's also quite good at what she does. (Jordan: She actually reminds me a bit of my sister.)

NUTCASE: The story and plot for each of his fics are good, but the way he writes them are...well... abound with spelling errors. Still great stories, though. Looking forward to more!

Jordan: JACOB!!

Jacob: Hurgh... what'd I do now?

Jordan: Anyway, here is a list of stories we are writing that are currently in the works... Oh, and before I forget: '!-!' means it's the tenative title. This means it's subject to change:

Sole Exception: Jaron's story. Shows friends and origins... as well as secrets. Each chapter comes out when the individual chapter is finished, so be sure to check up often, because there's literally no definate way to determine when the chapters will come out. (*Progress so far: 11 chapters, one more untill Completion.*)

Two Worlds, One Door: Set five years before Sole Exception, you may find it either interesting...or diabolically EVIL. Arc one of a three-part prequel trilogy thingy. So far, only the prologue plus chapters 1-8 have actually been put onto the site. The others are still in development. Each chapter comes out after 1 or 2 weeks. (*progress so far: 10 chapters, on hold temporarily.*)

!-! Door A to Door B: Second arc of the 'Doors' prequel series to Sole Exception. Picks up immediately after (and we do mean immediately) after 'Two Worlds, One Door'. Takes place in New Jersey's Princeton-Plainsborough Teaching Hospital (Yes, Dr. House and crew will co-star, as well as a cameo of Newman from Seinfeld).

!-! Standing At Death's Door: Third arc of the 'Doors' prequel series to Sole Exception. Again, picks up immediately after it's predecessor. Conclusion to 'Doors' series.

Missing Memory: A one-shot centering around Claus (Lucas' brother) and leading up to his (upcoming) appearance in Sole Exception. A Pokemon named Graineon will be in it, though.

Evil Reminisces: A one-shot featureing our main villain, Kavma, and Gantz Gun's villain, Drak Star Haze. It shows how the two know each other in Gantz's fic, Crossover Bros. Brawl.

-Coming Soon!- Just Keep On Runnin', and Don't Get Shot: A Mirror's Edge fic featureing our studio's star OC, Jaron. Starts 2 years before Sole Exception, and 1 year before the start of the storyline in Mirror's Edge. Hilarious conversations will insue, and we'll actually get to see Merc running, even after he's already become a Tracker! Due sometime after Sole Exception. Also, if you're asking about the title, it's based on a line that will be used in a race between Jaron and Merc, stating the conditions of the race.

-Coming Soon!- Recruiting a Hero: Apparently, the website's first Assassin's Creed/Final Fantasy XIII crossover."Our job is simple. Work in the shadows, to serve the light." "You know, assassinate corrupt officials in office, keep the Templars out of control of anything of importance, make sure the populous is unoppressed... that whole deal." "Our latest assignment by Master Mark, however..." "Recruiting world-renowned hero Claire 'Lightning' Farron to our Templar-fighting cause." "My name is Jacob Aquilla-" "My name is Jordan Aquilla-" "We are the Aquilla brothers, and we are Assassins."

*Finished!* Thirteen Points of View: A series of multiple one-shots involving Kavma interacting with various members of Organization XIII during the timeline of 358/2 Days. Oh, and even though the title says 13, we'll be including Xion in it, as well as a special request chapter by Grim D.Slayer.

Jacob: And, just recently, here's our ALL NEW Fic Challenge SEGMENT!

Ero-Taicho!: A BleachxNaruto Shippuden crossover. It involves most, if not all, of the Naruto characters in Soul Society. Naruto thought he had seen the human incarnation of perversion when he trained bith Ero-Sen-- I mean, Jiraiya-sensei. However, that's been challenged as he meets a Shinigami SOOOO pervy, he's using his Captain status as a run-around way to construct his own harem! We speak, of course, of 8th squad Captain Shunsui Kyoraku. Rules: NONE of the Naruto girls even remotely LIKE Shunsui, with Tsunade actually landing jailtime due to Captain Kyoraku's objectification of woman. Nanao and Shizune hit it off and become BFFs. Hinata finally manages to confess to Naruto, only to have the event published in the form of one of Ero-Sennin's books, with Shunsui being his new best customer!(Must be T-rating or lower, though- NO LEMONS!) This leads to misunderstandings about Naruto and hinata, as well as Kakashi competing against Shunsui as Jiraiya's best customer of all time!

MGS4 X Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World crossover: A scientist and good friend of Otocon by the name of Alfred Jovenof builds Metal Gear ROC, an aircraft carrier built along the lines of Mk2. It's used for getting medical supplies or food to other places quickly, and is disigned for use in international aid assignments (i.e, the recent earthquake/tsunami in Japan). It's built to be piloted by only one person, and is sort of like a larger version of the personal rocket-propelled platform. Something happens during the exhibition of its flight capabilities, and Alfred and ROC are sent to the New World of Symphonia. Includes an OtoconxRaine pairing, the EmilxMarta pairing, and Genis fretting over which girl he likes more, Presea or Sunny. Lloyd can be paired with Collette or Sheena, but NOT BOTH. The 'best' ending for Dawn of the New World is canon, as is Snake being dead for 5 years before the start of the fic.

Jacob: Any takers will have the link posted beneath each challenge with a link to their fic. (Sits down at his laptop, opens numerous word documments, starts hilighting, copy-pasting, etc.) Author's works are never done, it seems.

Rika: I concurr.

Jacob: (smiles at her)

Jaron: Jacob, you know what you promised.

Jacob: (accepting the numbness that will come to his arms when he's done, sighs) Yes, I know. (cracks knuckles) Alright... Here we go!
