and me.

Welcome to my little personal den of Hell! Sorry, sorry, I meant my personal profile. Same thing, right? 

I'm a roleplayer, same as any around here. I've been doing it for about five years now, coming up to six in September. Its been quite the time, thinking back. I started out fresh as can be, understanding the basics of writing but never quite knowing how to become better, or become as great as those around me. In the end, I did the only thing I really knew at the time:

Write as much garbage as possible and hope for the best!

As you can see, that particular tactic fucking failed.
Jokes aside, I like to think I've developed a lot over the years, both as a writer and as a person. However, absolutely nothing can dissuade my weeaboo ways and supporting my OTP with all that I can freaking muster! If you haven't already guessed, said OTP is Chrom x Robin (Chrobin) from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Highly recommend the game, there's a reason (other than nintendo's cheapskate attitude) that it hasn't dropped in price, it's honestly the best place to start off in the series. And hey, maybe you'll end up addicted like me and want to buy every game on the 3DS like a fucking loony?

Speaking of loonies, the Fire Emblem Chrobin Comic Dub Project has recently finished, so for those of you who also appreciate the best ship in existence, I highly recommend it. Hell, even if you're not interested in that, I do highly recommend watching it for those into fantasy love stories. The quality improves drastically with each episode, so trust me when I say by the end of it you should be thoroughly impressed. It has helped motivate me in ways I can hardly describe with words, and so I thought the least I could do was put this out there. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know it was the perfect thing for me.
	
"Do you think you can tip any of the scales in here?"
"Chrom, for the love of Naga, I'm thinking..."
"So I heard."
	
"There are better places
to take a nap than 
on the ground, you know."
	
There is a universe. No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.

There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. 
Goodbye Octopi.

There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. 

And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious. Food was eaten and no-one enjoyed it. Movies were released, and there was no laughing, or crying. No-one chuckled at a joke. Ever.
Space collapsed back on itself, eventually, and there hadn't been a single moment of sentience in the entire history of creation.

There's another universe, where the strong force is too strong the weak force is too weak and nothing forms.
Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. 
Another with too many dimensions.
Another with not enough.
Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn
to survive.
Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion.
And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution.
An atlas of dead-ends.

Then again, there is one exception.

There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness.
And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. 
It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life.

In Jacques Vs Izayoi (Card Battle) → 7 yrs ago Forum: Arena Roleplay

The Lizard Fighter's lost form wasn't a surprise to Izayoi, but very much a concern. The hardened scales of the Lizard Fighter allowed him to strike more recklessly. He knew he had to be more careful and calm given his defensive transformation had been played. 
And given the fact Jacques was making a move.
The enemy battlemage attempted to strike him with an Arcane Longsword, which Izayoi attempts to dodge. With his current cards there was no way for him to intercept the blow, and he didn't want to lose a Man-Wolf.

He had to carve a path. The easiest way, Izayoi figured, would be through the blacksmith - the one who didn't attack anything on the field despite its close proximity. A passive support. Of course, that could simply be a ploy and she could actually be a trap support, baiting him for another ambush. 
That was a risk Izayoi couldn't take. But there was little in the way of options. 

If he could get out, the haze from the Timber Pack would allow him to engage in hit-and-run tactics, as well as lessen the effectiveness of his opponents supports. Seeing as they were so close though, it would be hard to break through without some serious force.
So, Izayoi decided to employ brute force. 
A Patrol Hound is summoned behind Wily the Blacksmith, and a Man-Wolf sandwiching Jacques. A Spiked Club appears in Izayoi's hands, and he makes his commands quickly: 'Wolves, attack the closest enemy!'
This would leave one Patrol Hound to attack Wily the Blacksmith, a Man-Wolf to attack Jacques, another Man-Wolf to strike the Sturdy Sentry, and the final Patrol Hound to attack the Frontline Centurion. Unfortunately that left the Quartermaster free of damage, and free to make an attack...

Izayoi himself had little options but to strike Wily the Blacksmith and hope the combined attack with the Patrol Hound to be enough to destroy the support, so he could charge through. He put as much momentous force into the Spiked Club, however the attack was slow, to say the least. Regardless of the outcome, Izayoi attempts to run past Wily the Blacksmith and gain some distance. 


1. Izayoi attempts to dodge Jacques' Arcane Longsword.
2. Izayoi summons the Patrol Hound behind Wily the Blacksmith and Man-Wolf behind Jacques. Izayoi summons a Spiked Club in his hands.
3. Izayoi orders the wolves to attack the closest enemy, each being:Patrol Hound 1 attacks Frontline Centurion directly.
Patrol Hound 2 attacks Wily the Blacksmith from behind.
Man-Wolf 1 attacks Sturdy Sentry directly.
Man-Wolf 2 attacks Jacques from behind.

4. If not destroyed already, Izayoi strikes Wily the Blacksmith with a Spiked Club. Regardless, he attempts to run past Wily the Blacksmith to avoid further damage from behind.

Yvonne is a dignified noble heir, but not someone who thinks herself better than anyone else. While she can be prideful and stubborn, she shows immense understanding and compassion for others, able to lend a hand to those who feel upset. She seems to understand a great deal when it comes to reason and is thought of as highly logical. It is a blend of firm conviction and empathetic nature which gives Yvonne such positive character in the eyes of others, though she does have an apparent awkwardness when it comes to the more simple things in life, often not understanding certain things due to her sheltered upbringing. 

Despite being known as the "Supreme Logician", Yvonne can still be especially irrational, namely in combat. She tends not to rely on others and suffers a crucial fault in her communication skills, making it hard for her to say what she means at times. Though she is an accomplished Red Mage, her skills lack a certain finesse to them, meaning she tends to brute force most opponents. Any opponents that can take a hit or work as a team come as a great source of difficulty for Yvonne to deal with, and she instead finds herself at her best in 1-1 situations.

In Jacques Vs Izayoi (Card Battle) → 7 yrs ago Forum: Arena Roleplay

'The wolf stalks his prey...'
Izayoi takes a step back from the deceased Foul Marksmen, scanning quickly for his target. It doesn't take him long: Jacques is close, seeing as he would be right behind the Foul Marksmen. 'Perfect...' He mutters to himself, as three more support creatures appear by his side:
Two Patrol Hounds and a single Man-Wolf. As a Lizard Fighter, Izayoi didn't need to summon weapons just yet, and instead opted to use up his transformation completely. The plan was to overwhelm the enemy with unrelenting sneak attacks; the wolves would join the Etheral Wolf and target Jacques, whereas the Man-Wolf would stay by Izayoi's side, protecting him from harm. The extended lifespan of the Man-Wolf from the three other wolves would provide it with some much-needed longevity, allowing it to deal more damage for longer. With the other wolves masking their presence, that longevity would presumably last longer. 

'Wolves, stalk the enemy Battlemage through the haze and darkness. Wait for the perfect opportunity to strike. Man-Wolf, fight alongside me and protect me - draw on the strength of your brothers for a longer life.'
Izayoi's order was just long enough to be said before he was rushed by Jacques. With instinct he leaped into the air, using his spear to help catapult himself over Jacques so he could land behind him. Even if he landed a little close to him, he could use the spear to help propel him further along, planting it in the ground before he landed to give him just a little extra air. 
That did leave the Man-Wolf alone to deal with the ambush, however Izayoi hoped its sheer ferocious strength could buy it time, if not kill an enemy support. Or attack Jacques.


1. Izayoi summons two Patrol Hounds and a Man-Wolf, ordering the hounds to hide in the swamp and attack at their discretion. 
2. The Man-Wolf is ordered to protect Izayoi. 
3. As Jacques rushes in (and he is very close), Izayoi uses the Lizard Fighter's spear to leap a great distance over Jacques, hoping to land behind him. He will use the spear gain as much distance as possible. 
4. The Man-Wolf will be left in the middle of the ambush. Izayoi hopes it will live thanks to the extra support from the other wolves on the field, and deal significant damage to either other supports or Jacques himself, though has left that to the Man-Wolf's instincts to decide.

No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.<br><br>There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. <br>Goodbye Octopi.<br><br>There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. <br><br>And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious. Food was eaten and no-one enjoyed it. Movies were released, and there was no laughing, or crying. No-one chuckled at a joke. Ever.<br>Space collapsed back on itself, eventually, and there hadn't been a single moment of sentience in the entire history of creation.<br><br>There's another universe, where the strong force is too strong the weak force is too weak and nothing forms.<br>Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. <br>Another with too many dimensions.<br>Another with not enough.<br>Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn<br>to survive.<br>Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion.<br>And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution.<br>An atlas of dead-ends.<br><br>Then again, there is one exception.<br><br>There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness.<br>And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. <br>It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life.<br><br>~Exurb1a</div></div></div>
