Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is one of those odd situations as far as questing is concerned. Shin Seiki here is questing to become a truly Ethereal being, a guiding light to the masses, while I, Ashram the VIIth, am questing to become a truly Infernal being, the Diabolic Suit. We've decided to put aside our differences that would usually lead to us attempting to do horrible things to the other ... maiming, backstabbing, torturing ... and that's just me! We want to achieve our goals, but in order to do it we need a sign that shows that we have become what we are questing to become.

Shin Seiki seeks the ever glorious Angelic Minis, a truly baffling quest!

I seek the coveted Devil Tail, an equally challenging quest. I've been questing for this item for almost a year now, (started about mid July 2004) but my old thread went the way of the dinosaur because of the upgrades to the Gaia Forums.

We cannot do this on our own, so we are asking you, our fellow Gaians to help us in any way you can.

6/26/2006 - ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! Hard to believe we've been going at this for a full year now. @_@ Let's hope it doesn't last a whole lot longer. xd

I found this item to be close to me for some time, because they look very similar to the A-10 connectors, part of Neon Genesis Evangelion, my favorite anime of all time. I recently gave up on the A-10 connector Crusade, due to what the Gaia panel at A-Kon 16 told me. So, with that gone, I hope to do whatever it takes to achieve this stunning item.

The A-10 Connector Crusade was an item petition to get the connectors Evangelion pilots wore on their heads as items in Gaia. Unfortunately, like most item petitions this specific, they're just another meaningless thread. Although, I admit that I did have good times with it, among the discussions, arguments and whatnot.

If you're curious, here's a link to my old A-10 Connector Crusade.

I am also the captain of the Evangelion Fan Hangout Guild. Many thanks to Sir Langley for creating it in the first place.

I've been with Gaia for well over a year now, but I usually only post in the anime forums. Now, I'm discovering the General and Extended Discussion threads. I just try to participate in Gaia more and more, little by little.

With rules and such coming up right after my quest information, the next posts (listed here) will organize in depth information about the Mini Angel Wings.

Here's what I have so far in gold, along with my plans for future income, advertising, etc. Most of this information will be on Updates, but this post will compile everything.

I will also post a current offer to maintain that I do in fact have the investments as part of the offer, regardless of how low the offer may seem.

COMPLETED as of 11/12/07

It has come to my attention that investments are the way to go, so once I seriously get some time together, I'm going to compile all major items for trade/sale.

.

I have several plans in the works, seeing as how this quest will not be easy. Once they are for certain, I will post links here and the Updates area.

It'll be a long quest, and I know this, but, I wouldn't have started it and not had some plans and goals in mind.

Current Offer - Much more to come

20,000g

This page is in honor to those who have selflessly contributed to my cause. I am forever thankful for their support.

Also, I will have special thanks to those who have helped along the way.

I also want to make this clear, since I didn't really give this much thought before:
If for some reason I decide to quit this quest, all donations will be returned (in terms of gold and items).
