Haaaaaaah? Or at least possibly haaaaaah?

Also ready, steady, freddy.

[PlatinumSkink]

I am most certainly ready.

[Skyswimsky]

Eh, Xalt said I could put the special moves in later. This long time of not rping really got to me so the sheet isn't really impressive or something and I put more thoughts into it then I actually wrote down(and it definitly has nothing to do with me hating the CS part about RP!), but here it is :c

Name: Yui Hasekura
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Race: Human

Appearance:

picture

Height: 1.55 m
Weight: 40kg
Hair color: Red
Eye color: Blue
Skin tone: Light
Misc:

Random Swimsuit

Personality: Yui is an ambitious but tender girl. She has a strange balance of taking life as it comes and fulfilling her goals; deeply believing one can achieve anything if they work hard enough for it, she is, however, not completely void of reality.

Encouraging and cheerful, the soon-to-be hero believes there is no use dwelling over the past and always looks forward, thus, she is rarely seen to be in a bad mood, able to smile even in the worst situations. Furthermore believing there is good in every soul it is even possible that she could forgive her worst enemies.

However, there is no denying that part of her behaviour is just forced, behind the Idol-mask, Yui is easily hurt and moved by words and actions alike. In addition, Yui has a great fear of people not liking her; not as the Idol society puts her in, but as the human being called Yui.

Likes: Ramen, singing, dancing, anime, magical girls, ice-cream ...
Dislikes: Dishonesty(duh...), injustice, dogs(more like, scared of them), salad, gloom ...

Background: While Yui never got to experience the love of a father, as he left before she was born, the girl spent the early years of her living in the USA. If not for her mother - her very busy mother - Yui would likely never have developed an attraction to japanese-culture, the otaku and akiba sub-cultures in particular.

For the first few years nothing outstanding happened in her life until she turned 7. Around that time her already busy mother earned herself a promotion, forcing her to choose between family or business. Without ill-will towards her beloved child, the mother decided for the later, forcing Yui to temporaly live with her grandparents.

Unlike Yui's mother however, her grandparents lived in Japan, bringing forth a huge kind-of positive change for the girl. Now, Yui's dream was to become a Akiba Idol, and unlike many other people who were only "dreaming of the impossible" the little red-hair was quite ambitious; or maybe she just tried to focus on something very hard so she could ignore the pain her absent mother was causing. Thus, Yui achieved and maintained her dream up until today. If not for her mother (and father), she would surely be truly happy.

Awwwwwwwww~ Solia is going to be so happy to have a hero like you to befriend~

... Wait, you're afraid of dogs? ... Um... um... am... um... er... ah... I apologize for the method of summoning I'll be sending! ^^'

That said, will I be using dogs like that to do the summoning? Or will I be using some completely separate method to call upon them?

Is the way I phrased it confusing, or something? I just mean that she doesn't appreciate it if someone just likes getting into brawls or starts fights for no reason at all, or merely for the sake of starting something. It's just one of those honorable/chivalry-like kind of factors to her.

Well I imagined it was one of the issues she might have with Alam, since he doesn't really have a reason to fight other than he enjoys it. I'm thinking I'm totally off though.

[Xaltwind]

Yui Hasekura accepted.

You might wanna fix your image-links though, sky, since they aren't working properly.
On the note of images, I'll post my sheet when Koma's done drawing Anisette and has the time to edit the picture(s) I'm using.

That doesn't mean the IC can't start however, as there's no need for my PC at the very start. Expect us to go live within a day or two. At the latest, the IC will be up by Friday this week. :3

... Barring something unexpected happening, like me getting hit by a truck on my way home from work...

[PlatinumSkink]

... What. I'm supposed to post my schedule now? ... Nope. XD

I'll be showing up when I want to and can, won't be showing what time I could potentially be free on so you guys could potentially notice I'm not being here on otherwise free time! XD

[Skyswimsky]

^What the wise skink-sama said.

[Xaltwind]

And with that, I'd like to announce that Game of Tails has officially started!

Feel free to begin posting!

If you're unsure of how, or where, to start, just ask here and we'll see if we can't get you some ideas.
For the Heroes, sorry, but you'll have to set your own stage on what the weather, time of day and such is in your Earth-world (or Japan, as you're both in that country).

Let's all have fun and enjoy ourselves!

EDIT:

Oh, and for those intrested, here's what Queen Parfait of Vilante looks like:

[PlatinumSkink]

Excuse me, Xaltwind. I need to ask if you have a description of the magical animals that will be preparing that summoning on the other side, assuming we'll be using that method of summoning. Either that, or I could make them myself if allowed to, if you don't want to. Barely appearing animals and all.

Edit: ... Or am I getting ahead of myself?

[Xaltwind]

Go ahead and make those critters - they're fairly unimportant after the summoning, so, yeah. :p

[PlatinumSkink]

... So, um... I wrote a post, but I am unsure if it is OK. I mean... er... it looks like this?

Post

A deep breath. Eyes closed. Focus. This is it. The people will love it. This is the hour of change. The hour when everything would be turned around. There had been trying times since… since… since they died, since her parents died and gave her the throne. There had been disturbing reports of monsters, the entire nation had been feeling like it was on the edge of its seat with these repeatedly worrying news. But today… today all that changed. Everything felt so right. There was a piece of doubt still harboring deep within her soul, but determination had already flooded her. She was going to do this, and there was nothing that was going to go wrong! Everything was perfect…!

‘Waf! Waf!’ Just by her feet, a tiny, brown and REEEEAAAALLY happy dog was jumping around. He was way over-eager, with the knife which would be used for the summoning bound around his neck for easy access by his mouth. ‘Waf! Waf!’ The little thing bounced up at her, and she caught it with a giggle in midair, holding the happy creature in her arms. The dog wasted no time looking around happily with mouth open and tongue hanging. She carried him along while another, darker dog was walking at her right. A lot calmer than the tinier one, this one strode with a sense of purpose and somewhat of a hint of laziness, but still, the knife similarly bound around her neck was there for the summoning as well. These dogs were the tiny Peach and the dark Kiwi, ready to do their duty happily/calmly for their nation.

The girl herself was Sfogliatine Zucchero Graelian. She was a young and suitably short girl of fourteen summers with long white hair reaching just beyond her hips. Her expression at the moment was smiling with determination, carrying the tiny brown Peach up the long stairway on the floating island. While a princess, she wasn’t wearing exactly royal-looking clothes, but they were certainly distinctive. Alright. The princess looked up the stairs. Her young eyes looked in awe at the pillars and altar. This entire place… it was just screaming destiny. And the princess knew she would answer. Biting her lip for a bit, praying silently that this wouldn’t miss-match the timing of the battle too badly, she did her job.

‘Kiwi! Peach! Go!’ She let the brown little Peach go down on the marble road, where he along with the dark Kiwi dashed up the remaining starts at an impressive speed while Solia whispered her little chant, focusing on what she had learned. Soon enough, the two dogs were far ahead of her and reached the structures… where a flash of green light shone and the two canines disappeared up towards the heavens, Solia watching from a part away. Much of the preparation had been done beforehand, so what was needed was simply to activate it. … OK. Done. The princess breathed out in relief. … Now she merely needed to hope for the best while she ascended the stairs and towards the summoning altar. She had sent the summons for the heroes. She had told Lucrezia to prepare for their arrival, and left command of her forces to Anisette. They and her other followers would be able to lead well enough even without the princess’ input. Th-this would work… right? So, Solia stepped upwards the stairs one step at a time, her tail wagging from the excitement of summoning heroes…

The dark and calm Kiwi would be the one to appear before Alam, while the tiny eccentric overly happy and friendly Peach would be the one who appeared before Yui. Both would appear before them at some time when they were on their own (and possibly heading in a direction suitable to them). Kiwi would take maximum advantage of whatever situation occurred before her and place the portal somewhere where Alam was heading for, possibly. Meanwhile, the moment Peach saw Yui he’d jump at her to attempt befriending and general cuddling before putting the knife in the floor/ground to make the portal appear right underneath her if possible. Otherwise, I’ll take personal control of the dogs and we can have fun figuring out how the two of them gets you.

Specifically I am worrying about my mentions of the other characters and how I did the sending of the dogs. I mean, there is no time we actually see HOW the animals are sent or anything... geesh...

Also, speaking of animals, here you go. I created two.

Kiwi

Name: Kiwi
Age: 5
Gender: Female
Race: Dog

Appearance: This is her
Height: 0.6 meters
Weight: 15 kg
Eye color: Purple
Furr tone: Dark
Misc: None

Personality: Kiwi is a calm type dog which has nothing against lying about resting most of the day. She’s quite open to strangers and is quite reasonably, most of the time. For walks she usually prefers to take it easy, but when different things catch her attention she can sometimes charge ahead to make sure it doesn’t get away. Living small things get her attention easily, and she starts to guard them. While she’s usually quite inactive, sometimes Kiwi just gets up to do something, like assist in a Hero Summoning or deliver exactly the item which masters needed at the time before they realized it…
- Likes: Beings younger than herself, calm afternoons with people she knows, randomly being of use when she wasn’t expected to.
- Dislikes: Being bothered when she doesn’t feel like moving, regardless of reason. Touching her collected young ones (no, she doesn’t have any pups, why do you ask?)

Background: A dog living in Graelian. She grew up near the castle, and has been trained to be of use to the nation. Usually she is of use on her own, though. The princess is fond of her.

--- Powers and Abilities ---

Position: Dog

Affinity: Wind

Physical Fitness: Dog
Magic Potential: Dog

Weapon Specialization: Teeth, claws and summoning swords.

--- Special Attacks ---
Name: Hero Summon
Type: Short Range Magical Circle Portal
Desc: The animal takes the summoning weapon which they brought to the human world and inserts it into the ground. Upon being placed, a large magic circle will take shape which includes its instructions and terms of service in the language of Fralanthe (meaning nobody human can read it). The center of the circle will be a portal capable of being fallen through. Should the hero in any way end up falling through, the hero will be summoned to the summoning spot of the nation that summoned him or her. Upon arrival falling into Fralanthe, the hero’s impact with the altar will be softened by a large magical flower which will then open its petals and let the hero out.

Peach

Name: Peach
Age: 2
Gender: Male
Race: Dog

Appearance: This is him
Height: 0.3 meters
Weight: 5 kg
Eye color: Black
Furr tone: Brown
Misc: None

Personality: Peach is a male dog that is overly fond of barking at people he likes and running up and sniffing and jumping on absolutely everyone in the vicinity. New people especially. People would describe him as rather cute, but Peach is also rather strong for his tiny size and can jump rather high. He loves attention and loves to be praised, and will do anything for those he can get it from. And does he love every single person he has ever and will ever meet, no matter what.
- Likes: People, praise, petting, absolutely everything
- Dislikes: …

Background: A dog living in Graelian. He appears to have been a runaway from somewhere, and was brought to the castle by Kiwi where he was then kept after many failed attempts to find his origin. Now he does random necessary tasks for them by Kiwi’s side, like summoning heroes and what not.

Cool, looking forward to this. Post soon.
EDIT: Actually, probably shortly after Skink posts, to make things easier for everyone.

[Komamisa]

Yay, I'm relatively proud of myself! I drew a portrait of Anisette! Don't mind the nakedness, lol. I just haven't decided on clothes to give her. As for my post, that'll be coming up tonight or sometime tomorrow~ Expect some spirited and lovely soldiers, and the cool-headed Commander!

.. I don't know what I'm saying.

[PlatinumSkink]

Eh. I should stop being so undetermined. I'll just post it and accept any yelling and edits I have to do afterwards.

Nice one, Koma~ She's beautiful~ Good job~

Edit: Also, for the record, my posts might be stupidly long at times, but that's because I want to write them like that. This is in the casual section, so please don't anyone be frightened by them. I don't mind if anyone makes their posts a great deal shorter. ... That said, I know there are those probably capable of making way longer posts than I do, I don't mind that either... haha...

[Zombehs]

And why I should not write when tired is presented.

Go tear it apart or something. Or leave it alone, that'll make me happy as well.

Also, nice job Komamisa. Purty.

[Nekomancer]

Alright, I intend to get a post up by tonight. As a heads-up though, this weekend looks to be very busy for me. Much of my time is going to be consumed by being a badass barbarian princess who kills all the things. Pathfinder is rad.

[Xaltwind]

Barbarian princesses with bronze plate bras and fur loincloths are the best princesses.

Oh, and Kiwi, you rascal~ Pushing poor reggae-rastafari-Alam into the hole... You're worse than Tachimaki.
