Hi! I thought I'd throw out a few things about myself... (takes deep breath) here goes!
Feel free to check out my myspace if you want (my homepage link) eventually, when I get a scanner, I will put art from my characters on there for you to see if you're interested =)
I've been a member of this site for about five years and have four stories. I'm an old school rpg fan (As you can tell by the Breath of Fire/Phantasy Star 4 entries). Both of which are timeless to me. The only other thing I probably love more is Xenogears...but that story is a little too complex for me to delve in... maybe one day =)
Well...I'm ridiculously in love with Ryu from the Breath of Fire series. There's something about an already really hot guy that can transform into an even hotter dragon guy... ahem well... Probably the Ryu from the first game is the one I like the most. He always seemed...more feral...and not as civilized as the other Ryu's. +I love his long hair!! I'm a real fan of the "Ryu can't control the dragon" theme though (Props to BoF 4-5 for that). Nina from the first game is my favorite Nina as well. The girl uses a sword, and she left by herself to save her father! Nina 2 comes in close second though, the black wings are hot!
Phantasy Star 4 is my favorite old rpg. It was the first rpg I ever played that had androids in it! I wasn't lucky enough to have an snes and play chrono trigger or FF6 back in the day, so this was it! Grats to any lucky person that grew up with both systems...my parents thought that girls weren't supposed to play games! The characters have always had a soft spot in my heart and when Alys died I cried =( And I always thought Rune was extremely hot. (What is it with blue haired guys?!)
Care Bears 2 was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. I thought Dark Heart was scary! As I got older I watched the movie again and...I still loved it! I really loved the idea of Dark Heart and how he was so manipulative.
I'm really more of an artist than a writer...but sometimes it's hard to portray what you're really thinking into art. A story can really shape a character and give it life, more than any picture possibly could. Only...I wish I were better at it!
I really like to write about romance and angst...with a little bit of action/drama put in. Something I'd really like to be better at are action scenes. I seem to be good at the fluff which I guess is a good thing, but when I read stories, I initially get more interested if the action scenes are amazing. (sigh)
For anyone who's interested, here's a bit about my stories:
Of Dragons and Angels (Breath of Fire) is a very long story that is possibly the most intricate thing I've ever written. It's a love story about a white winged Princess (Nina) that was hidden from the world and was starved for freedom and attention. Ryu is a dragon that is on a journey to harness the power of the dragon god Ladon and stop the forces of evil from starting a world war. I really love this story and I'm very pleased with the feedback it has received. I actually tried very hard to make each character as memorable as I could. Probably my favorite things to write about in it are the scenes with Red, Shyong, or the dragon Ryu. Red, because he's based off of one of my favorite anime characters, Kyo from Fruits Basket. He's a bit more foul-mouthed, and that's what makes him so fun! Rei from BoF 3 comes to mind as well. Shyong is a crazy dragon hating bastard that has an obsession with a girl he can never have. Mentally unstable people are always really interesting to write about. Erractic behavior and obsessive compulsiveness are all very intriguing to touch on and usually end with Shyong hehe. Dragon Ryu is probably my dream man. Primal, strong, slightly unstable, increeeeedibly hot (well actually incredibly cool looking, the half dragon/half man in BoF4 is kind of what I went for)...ahem Needless to say I really enjoy writing about him in that form...especially if he happens to be anywhere around Nina at the time (grins). I guess I like to torture the poor princess. Well...i'll admit that I really love writing human Ryu/Nina fluff too. It's always fun to write the cute stuff =)
Searching for the Light (Phantasy Star) is almost a step by step walkthrough of the game. The genesis (being 16 bit as it was) was a little lacking in the dialogue department in a lot of rpgs...so I was sitting and playing PSIV one day and really felt the urge to write and flesh out these great characters I loved so much. I took a bit of liberty with Chaz ,though, and gave him a bad attitude. I remember reading somewhere that Alys found Chaz out in the street. I think living on the streets for a bit would harden anyone. I also wanted to touch on the hint the game gives of a previous relationship between Alys and Rune. I figured it'd be best to be as authentic as I could be, so I actually wrote it with the game's script in front of me! I really would like to get back to this one day b/c I was really looking forward to getting to Rika. She was my favorite character and the relationship between her and Chaz has so much fluff potential it makes me giddy!
The Darkest of Hearts (Care Bears) Again, Care Bears 2 is one of my childhood favorites and I really and truly love the character Dark Heart. I don't know what it is about him that I love. I just think he is one of the coolest bad guys ever. In this story, I gave him a new reason to have angst and tried to get inside of his head. I really really really like this story. I just feel like it flows...and you can really see what's happening in it, even though it's only one chapter.
Guardians of Fate (Breath of Fire) is another intricate Breath of Fire story that I've been working on recently. In this story, Nina is a Princess that is betrothed to the human Prince of Ludia (bof4 reference) She does not wish this, but her overbearing father insists. Nina is very intelligent and probably very undeserving of the horrors I put her through, hehe (She resembles the Nina from the 1st game but with a bit longer hair) Ryu is an extremely primal acting dragon from 500 years ago that was screwed over by Wyndia and sealed in the hidden crypts below the castle. (He looks like Ryu from the 1st game including scar) He is on a journey to his hometown Dragonier to find out what has been going on since he was sealed up and to try to find a way to get revenge for a curse that is placed on him. I'm really having a lot of fun in this story b/c Ryu is...well borderline insane. I can't say much here because it's really just started, but I will say, if anyone would like to be a beta reader for this story I would extremely appreciate it =)
As always, Feedback is nice... My ego can always use a bit of boosting!
