Roux's Update Arpil something 08

Mood: Pleased and content
Watching: Nuttin
Listening to: "The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars

Wow. Such time has passed. I've grown guys. A lot. More than I've even realized. I've gained a whole new set of comrades...a mentor, Lok, friends, Bartin, Lavahead/Yasuo...ANOTHER female ;-)...just...holy cow. I joined a band called the Oath of Warriors, and what a journey it's been. Such relationships are amusing to explore, as are crack pairings. XD A whole new saga has been added to my life after GT.

Don't worry guys. I'm not going anywhere. Yamo, I'm not finished with you, and Tairo, I still have to get you to calm down. ;)

Favorite Anime/Manga/Characters: Quite obviously, Vegeta. But, I'll add a few.

DBZ: Bardock, King Vegeta, Zarbon (...I'm not sure why. I like his design. :-P) Trunks (young), Nappa, Raditz... pretty much, just the saiyans.

Naruto: Kakashi, Itachi, Kisame (...if I hadn't known my family would kill me for it, this would be Cousteau's name. Yay sharkman!) Asuma, Kiba, Shikamaru, Temari, and Kabuto.

Trigun: Vash (...I've had several pond fish by the name of Vash. Rest in peace, little Vashies...cries) and Knives. That's pretty much it. The insurance girls get on my nerves. -.-'

Current Stories or Mainstream Fics (In Bold)

All stories, unless marked otherwise, are in progress...

Toy Soldiers Series: (Since TS is actually finished now, see "Ideas" section for the list of sequels)

Toy Soldiers completed

Plot 1 (Vegeta): Plagued by a strange dream and overbearing guilt, Vegeta desperately trains to destroy Frieza. But the dream is leading him to believe something that destroyed the young prince's world was a lie. Will Vegeta find what he is looking for? Or is he doomed to serve under Frieza forever?

Plot 2 (Roux): He is not an experiment. The humans do not seem to understand that. But twisted scientists and hellish army officials reign supreme in Roux's world. He plans to rebel...and finish something he started long ago. Something that plagues the young man's mind constantly with regret and guilt, yet, no one seems to know what it is. As the leader of the rebel force against the E.I.F (Earth Intergalactic Forces), he plans to let nothing stand in the way of his freedom...

However...

Roux's world is slowly unravelled from the inside out as he betrayed by someone he thought he could trust. His world is shattered as the unthinkable happens...and Roux's carefully planned revolt will be turned upside down. But...through death and roaring silence, Roux will learn what it means to truly rebel...and to be ressurected...

Current TS Sequel: Identity: Subject to Change After escaping earth, Roux (15yrs) approaches his next challenge: facing the tyrant that destroyed his and Vegeta's (13yrs) world. On the way, the princes will find themselves on fantastic worlds, cementing allies for the future. However, a careful plan goes awry, and Vegeta finds himself in a familiar world of torture. Uneasiness grows between the squad of Saiyans, each becoming more and more uncertain of their separate identities.

Broken Shards: (Prequel to TS)The delicate balance between the survival and destruction of the two saiyan races lie in the hands of their warring kings, King Vegeta of his Empire, and King Boldgrend of the Garthians, the original saiyan race. Will the struggle for dominance condemn both races, or can black and white unite against the ultimate threat: Freiza? A sibling squabble will escalate to a conspiracy, and someone will pay the ultimate price as a vital alliance is betrayed.

Blue Blood: (Somewhat of a Prequel to Broken Shards)

Plot 1 (Thundriao): The Casovetti Line has always been known for valor. The sapphire flag flies high above all the other noblemen‘s, almost nearing the King‘s. However, beneath the façade of honor and glory lies a bitter grudge between two men, a consuming desire for power, and a disowned child who plans to show his father just how wrong he was, by becoming the almighty Supreme General. Herein lies the story of Thundriao W. Casovetti, Supreme General of Garthia.

Plot 2 (Boldgrend): The royal line of saiyans never ceases in its faults. King Valtor II is not exception to this rule. Will his utter disregard and hatred push his already unstable "son" Boldgrend over the edge? Or will growing up under loathing's rough carress and in doubt of self-worth forge one of Garthia's greatest kings of all time?.

Life in Hell Under the Guise of Heaven- (Xiox's Letters to Xios

General's Elite

The Elite, as they stand. They've expanded, and not all of them are on fanfiction.net, but you will hear me refer to my comrades constantly, as sources of inspiration for my characters, or just as daily forces in my life. They are Ranked as follows:

Arond Saotor- The "Gryffite"slowly showing me I can love and trust again. I have never met a man as gallant as he...every quality I've ever looked for in a guy (except maybe the occasional laziness XP) is a part of him. I've never had a better New Years Eve than the night I met him. He's been there to hold me while I cry right when I needed him, and though we face the challenge of carrying our relationship through college, I certainly wouldn't mind if this wonderful guy was the one...those blue eyes have me tripping, stumbling, and falling more and more in love each day.

Commander Fiera Belarus (Crimsonpathways)- My best female friend, and fellow anime aficianado, Crimson is also a strong force in my life. She is by my side constantly when we're at school...we're often referred to as a joint unit by homeroom teachers, and have even been asked by strangers if we were sisters. Crimson is an off the scale writer, excellence in ink. She's by my side as ever, on the stage, and flying through life as the crazy nuts we are. She's held me when I've cried, a feat not quite accomplished by many people outside of my immediate family. The sister I never had, my commander, my Crimson, and Roux's "Red". :)

Captain Brax Binn (Captain Brax 00) - Brax is one of the few friends who dates back to the ancient Elite, before they were even called the Elite. In the Elite-verse, he is my "twin brother", which is why he bears the same surname as my persona, General Riazza Binn, even though he and I are not related in real life. He is the full-blooded brother I never had, with ALL the aspects..particularly the sarcasm. He has retained his DBZ nickname throughout the eight years we've been friends, Kakirot. He doesn't respond as willingly to it anymore, but it remains a reminder of the simpler days, and I frankly can't stop calling him it. sweat drops Unfortunately...he seems like he's drifting away these days...Brax encouraged me to write in my earlier days, and strangley, is the one who gave his personality (inadvertantly, and subconsciously in my mind) to Commander Thrice Casovetti, one of the pivotal characters of my universe. He has more blackmail on me than I'd care to admit, but I'd be lost without him. :) I still remember incidents from many years ago in which he has protected me.

Sergeant Rohan McCainel (SomeGuy2009) A staple member of the Elite, Rohan is the funnyman of our group. He has an undying love for my "Pineapple Ecstacy" dessert, but I think he sticks around for reasons better than that. Rohan has always understood the golden value of friendship. We hug often, lol. He's a writer as well, and the other half of another good friend, Jazira. Rohan is one of those friends that will always stand by you no matter what...so long as you don't touch his spiky hair. He and I both share a hatred of my (and now Jazira's) ex-lover, Armano, for things we can never forgive him for doing to Jazira. Rohan, like the two above, was one of the original Elite, back when it numbered six.

Sergeant Jazira Fieyn (Jazira1209) My proclaimed "Bosom Buddy"- the female Elitist I tell EVERYTHING, (and I do mean EVERYTHING. I know more about Rohan and she about Arond then those men will ever know...). She has been a faithful friend for a good five years now, huggable, good to cry with, and good to have late night chats with. She's good with secrets, advice (not in the way you're thinking though devilish smile) and just being there when you need her. She's cute in one word, bouncy in another, and loyal in a third. :)

Sergeant Kaerra Olette- being revamped 8D

Sergeant Milan Pershin - The more conservative of the Elitist females, Milan is still amazing in many ways. She's always there with a kind word and an interesting sense of humor. She is my softball buddy, and knows how to be "fierce" in more ways than one. ;)

...mm. This is a job too big for one night. TBC>

Serious Quotes

"The burden of ruling is one far beyond the imagination of anyone else but a king. I understand it now. Being pulled in so many different directions, straight away from your own desires, could destroy anybody. Expectations so high could impale any soul."
-Thundriao, "Please"

"This is Vegas, Roux. Everything here is fast."

“Now, let’s get this straight, pup. There are a few things you should learn right before anything even gets started. You said you’ve trained in martial arts? I’m pretty familiar with martial arts myself. In here, there are no rules. There is no honor. If your opponent is down, you kick him. If you have a shot at a weak point, you take it. It does not matter who he is. For all you know, you could end up in the ring with me one day. It isn't those who fight with the most honor that win. It's those who survive.”
-Roux, talking to Goku, in "Dogs"

“You did not even win your own battle today. A boy, Vegeta, a mere boy! Your nephew is ten times the warrior you will ever be. Remember that, Vegeta. Know that you are inferior to a child…and perhaps that will puncture your over inflated ego.”
-Sergeant Karth, "Broken Shards"

“You chastise me for having such an acute case of paranoia. I can only laugh, my dear liege, for I believe that a healthy case of paranoia makes the best of warriors. Paranoia will only forge alertness, and force a warrior to observe the world around him with more care. If it makes him think that tomorrow may not come, it will compel him to cherish what he has now all the more fiercely. Bothersome as it may be, it is certainly a better alternative to being blindsided when disaster strikes, for paranoia is only foresight brought on by the deepest instincts of a saiyan’s core.”
-One of Thundaroes's quotes in "Broken Shards", CH 10

Well, if you've gotten this far, you must've been bored. I suggest reading one of my fics ( ...preferably Cold as Ice, it's my best) to deter said boredom. Avella,
