Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

Hell, you can even throw in a bit of Assassin to the mix. Don't laugh, but it's actually Dante who has the focused, calculating personality often associated with the Assassin. XD Evie's class itself is a mixture, hehe...though she's a bit of an anomaly in terms of personality when it comes to Assassins. XD What do you say is her class mixture? XD

There's actually a very similar item on Mystery Dungeon...Houndour's Dark Choker, which actually inflicts Cringe status, hehe! XD Do we go with it or go for a different item type? XD Hehe, Evie is not mainly a Wizard, though in all fairness, the offensive characters and Cisrian have varying degrees of Black Mage influence. XD

Hey, it's all in good fun, hehe. XD Nobody's getting hurt. XD

Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

I like that Soldier's Body thing, hehe...even if it pushes his class towards the Dragoon spectrum, it works! XD Well...he kinda is actually a Dragoon, with his affinity to Dragons...XD

Or an Attack version of Speed Boost, hehe. XD I'll call it...Lupine Rage...or Wolf's Fury. XD An item that would prevent confusion would have to be glasses of some sort or a blindfold...neither of which Evie has/wears. XD I've decided that her hold item either gives a 50% chance of flinch or increases critical hit ratio. XD Still trying to decide on what exactly the item is. XD Causing freeze would be...too Wizard-y? XD

Hehe, considering Andre's a flirt...I wouldn't be so surprised. XD What's your idea of Andre's ability anyway? XD You know I want to hear it. XD

Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

Choice Specs are glasses that are so weirdly-colored that they make you focus and squint a lot just to see...so they only make you think of using one move because of that...well, all that focusing would make your attack hit harder. XD

I think that "Soldier's Body" should be his Ability then! XD I always thought he was resistant to those types of Status Effects. XD Besides, Crim...he wouldn't be immune to Confusion and Infatuation....probably the two most annoying statuses. Well, with the decided effect of his dog tags (attacks always hit), Inferno wouldn't be an issue any longer, it will always hit. XD I'll replace Flare Blitz with Dragon Rush to make way for Inferno. XD

Yup, we're using items that our character usually has or wears. XD I told ya, no consumables. That wouldn't be fair, since these bottles aren't...bottomless. XD

You know, "Play Rough", with its animation (hearts), always struck me as some sort of rough sex/foreplay. XD

Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

I dunno, if the scarf was the type that ties around the head so tight that it squeezes the Pokemon's brain so that it only executes one move, and presses on the part of the brain that makes its Speed go up? I always saw it as some kind of bandana. Probably works the same way as a Choice Band, except silkier and more like a bandana/do-rag instead of a strip headband. XD It's not as bad as a hairbow though...seriously. Especially with the possible effects I listed above. XD

Yeah, Dante's would definitely be his dog tags. XD He's a focused guy, so it would have something to do with making his attacks always hit. XD You know, which would make Dragon Rush more plausible for him. XD Or maybe make him immune to physical status conditions...Sleep, Paralyze, Poison, Freeze and Burn (give him some sort of "soldier's body"). Not status conditions influencing the mind...there's no escaping that, mind you. XD

Petal Bizzard is physical? XD Shit. XD So Mira should get Petal Dance or something, hehe. XD Do you want Andre to get Play Rough...if it implies what I think it does? XD

Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

True, true...hehe. I might go for Venoshock...it suits Cisrian's nature more, plus Toxic Spikes inflicts Poison anyway. XD Mira has Hurricane because in most RPGs, Archers have a Wind affinity, and Mira is the closest thing on the gang to having a Wind affinity. Plus, MapleStory has a Ranger skill called Hurricane...so why not? Andre got Focus Blast because it seems to be a skill that fits a Leo. Plus, looks like it fires off a crossbow well...right? Now that I think about it...Aura Sphere also works well, considering that Andre's quite a sharpshooter. XD

Oh, come on! XD Outrage actually works, mind you. XD I'm torn between that (representing her awful temper), Crunch (a wolf-like move), Close Combat (Evie usually fights up close), Water Shuriken (because...it's the closest thing to her weapon, though there's Icicle Crash) or Stone Edge (also close enough to her weapon, similar to Icicle Crash). XD If we're using almost implausible types, Leaf Blade is an option. XD

Dante on the other hand...he doesn't go on rampages, so there's Dragon Claw, Megahorn (Dragon horns, mind you), Stone Edge, Dragon Pulse or Drill Run (He can pull it off...). XD Funny how the moves that kinda suit Selena and Jayden are the wrong types...Crabhammer is physical (of course, a reference to Cancer), and Muddy Water is Special. XD

Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

Don't worry, clothing is perfectly fine, like the "dresses" in PMD. Andre's item should be a "Morganite Gown", it's pink of course (and dripping with jewels, hence the name). The effect is perfect! 50% chance of infatuation...works on Genderless too. XD Still trying to find a connection between Evie's hairbow (arguably her trademark item) and an effect that will make her physical attacks much more painful (Attack version of Speed Boost every 2 turns)...or a high Flinch chance, or an increased critical hit rate...or even a Rough Skin type of thing...it's just too implausible! XD Seriously, a hairbow...and that? XD

I'll need a few move suggestions too, hehe. So far...

Should I switch Selena and Cisrian's Toxic/Toxic Spikes? XD Should Cis have an anger-themed Support move such as Grudge? XD

Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

The fact he's wearing a long-sleeved dress only makes the fact that he's male harder to tell, hehe. XD Hehe...there's that 170 Attack, that's true! XD The other two on the other hand...are both canine hehe, hence my evident torn-ness. XD Then again, this is stat matching and not animal matching. XD

After looking at 600s...Cisrian actually fits Goodra best, stat pattern-wise. XD Weird, isn't it? XD Now, here's the list of Pokemon that share similar stat trends to the characters. XD

Andre: Jolteon/Latios/Mega Manectric
Selena: Milotic/Latias/Mega Venusaur
Dante: Lucario/Salamence or Genesect/Mega Charizard X
Jayden: Carracosta/Zygarde/Mega Scizor
Evie: Weavile/Garchomp/Mega Garchomp
Mira: Espeon/Shaymin-S/Mega Gengar
Cisrian: Drapion/Goodra/Mega Blastoise

DRK, Crim...why don't we give them exclusive Hold Items? Like give Cisrian a "Suspicious Syringe" that doubles the chance of inducing status conditions...and Selena gets a "Shining Tiara" that gives a 50% chance of lowering accuracy if Selena is hit by a physical attack. XD Of course they should be items that they do have or wear. XD No, not edible/consumable ones (I'm looking at you, vodka bottles), as that wouldn't be fair. XD

I can think of the movesets, hehe. Of course, not necessarily with competitive viability in mind, but rather...different factors. XD Give me a while. XD

Dark Frontiers: The Demon King (DRK||Atrum)

Posted! XD Look...the battle ensues! Cook can come in during the middle of the fight, hehe. XD

God, the prize shop was awful this year. XD I still got a good haul though! XD

You can hit people without shirts but you can't rip people's shirts off their their backs for some reason. Always been a rule traditionally. XD Maybe for the pleasure of seeing messed-up clothes. And you know, it's probably for the suffering of crazy girls who decides to wear expensive sundresses or designer duds. Hehe, but of course! Germany game tomorrow, hehe! XD

Not yet? XD How much does Shining Charizard go for on Ebay anyway? Probably not as expensive as 1st Edition Base Set, I'm telling you! I remember the time when that expansion was out...many people wanted Shining Charizard. XD Yup, to keep it in such mint condition is already good! XD

Dark Frontiers: The Demon King (DRK||Atrum)

Cordelia "Susanna Blue" Murphy
Fairbank

“Well then guess I’m not just wandering around aimlessly. Maybe I’m here to meet you or maybe I’m here to murder your bosses. Take ‘yer pick.” The mysterious stranger whispered, before musing that he didn't deserve a queen and that freedom wasn't all that - while taking Cordelia's hand and leaning in closer to her. She looked directly at him, as his nose almost touched hers, surprised. She got the feeling that the guy was the distant type, so why was he suddenly making moves on her now? Perhaps he was just like the others, but Cordelia did not want to think that way anymore, not when she just saw things that said otherwise about him. Murder her bosses? Meet her? Exactly what were his motives? These thoughts raced through Cordelia's mind at that moment.

“Queen of Hearts, hu? Never met a romantic woman but she sure as hell sounds like one. So tell me, Miss Cordelia just how romantic is this fabled Queen of Hearts?” He then asked, his intense eyes never leaving hers. Cordelia nearly snickered, but controlled herself. It appeared that this stranger was a closet romantic after all. Her eyes couldn't hide their smile, however. More than ever, she felt like this was her chance.

"Likely the most beautiful of the four Queens. She isn't one to hide her emotions, lad. Water can be gentle, like a calm lake, and clear too. She could see right through yer heart, and what ya feel. She won't mess around, and she'll love ya for who ya are. But water can also be rough like a stormy sea, and hard as ice. One must never, ever think that the Queen of Hearts cannot become this way once she's broken and betrayed. Her love runs deep, that's for sure," She said, tapping a finger on the card. "Trust me fella, girls...usually are a combination of two or three Queens. All I can tell you is...I ain't got Diamonds, somebody told me once upon a Boston winter. As for the price of freedom...I'd sell me soul to the Devil if I had to. You really think I can't handle such a thing?" She asserted, emphasizing each word of her last two sentences, showing that she wasn't at all kidding.

“Name’s Colt, Colt Jackson although you might hear people refer to me by lots of different names depending on the region just comes with the territory of being a wanderer. You don’t really belong anywhere so you don’t really have a name…and yes, it gets lonesome.” The man, Colt, finally gave his name, as well as admitted that Cordelia was at least half right with her suspicions. She could tell that much from the way he looked after all.

“I can offer you that freedom you seem to want…but I must ask for something in return. That light at the end of the tunnel. Promise me you’ll help me search.” He continued, proposing that he could somehow get her out of the hell she was living in. Cordelia's heart nearly stopped. It sounded too good to be true. Even though she saw that she wasn't like other guys, her pessimistic side was telling her that there had to be a catch. The way he spoke however, and her own optimism, made her want to believe him. If there really was a light at the end of the tunnel, she had to move towards it, and not just stay where she was. Any chance was better than no chance, and she was going to move towards that end, and having someone along the way wasn't going to hurt, especially if the things Starr and Martin said were all true.

"Listen to me, there always is that light, no matter what. Ya better reach for it. I'll go wherever, if it helps us find it!" She whispered determinedly. Two years did not break her spirit and sense of adventure, and she still longed to be outside, facing the unknown but free, rather than stay with the monsters she knew. Maybe the Death card wasn't only referring to Colt, but also to herself - a new beginning.

“Miss Cordelia, don’t suppose there’s somewhere private where we can be a little loud? Don’t like the way that big, ugly fella’ over there is looking at us. The kitchen, perhaps?” He lowered his voice even more, referring to the pale, burly man standing at the corner not so far away, eyeing the two of them. Cordelia quickly looked to her side, then back again.

"'Tis Mario. I don't know what the hell's with him, but that eejit can't seem to mind his own business. Now, the kitchen, for god knows what reason, is kinda off-limits to everyone, 'cept for the cook, the guards, Sophia, and Starr and Martin. Only been there once, and got it bad from Martin. Makes me think that something's in there, lad. We're in luck...too many drunken morons to attend to." She confided with him as she slid herself off the counter and beckoned for him to follow. She saw the cook walking up the stairs carrying two covered plates. Colt and Cordelia were lucky, very lucky at that moment. The redhead pointed towards the wooden swinging doors that led to the kitchen, and signalled for Dante to make a run for it before anyone noticed. She followed, dashing through the doors.

The kitchen was cleaner than the bar was, and a lot more private as well. Cordelia looked towards Colt, nodding as she saw that the coast seemed clear. "Now, why exactly did you come here? Are you...hiding? On the lam? Not that it would stop me from going with you, my mind's set, Desperado." She asked, assuring that she wasn't even thinking of changing her mind. Suddenly, a new voice from behind Cordelia asked an accusing question.

"What the hell are you doing here, cagna? Boy, Wyatt and Alexander are sure going to enjoy this!" Sophia smirked as she emerged. As if things couldn't get any worse, heavy footsteps neared the wooden doors, and after a few moments, Mario lumbered through, his facial expression cocky, as if he knew what they were up to.

"This is dumb! Tell me, what the hell is wrong with going inside a damn kitchen anyway?" Cordelia snarled as she swept the roses decorating her hair. She had had enough of this treatment, and she was not going to sit there and allow it. Hell, even a stranger treated her better than this! She cracked her knuckles, getting ready to handle the bitch. Walking up to her, deliberately allowing her high heels to knock loudly on the floor, she grabbed the older woman by the front of her red silk dress.

"Sophia, I'm through with all this, and I'm fucking through with you!" She snarled, before punching Sophia on her left eye, then following it with one on her nose.

Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

It's that hard to decide, I'm telling you, hehe. XD Mega Lucario actually has almost level Atk and Sp.Atk, but then, it's not as if its Atk is below...130 or something. XD They all work equally well, hehe. XD

Hey, Jayden should have something up his sleeve still. It's possible for both Jayden and Andre? XD Let's just see, hehe. XD

And...here's the sane set of the Game of Thrones parody. XD Andre is...very pretty and very convincing. XD
