Hello. I'm a voice actor that does work on Newgrounds.com and will be actually doing a couple NEW movies. There is a forum there that allows VA's to post a resume of their talent up for Flash Animators to see, to hire them on for work.

The Resume requires a DEMO REEL to post, otherwise they take yours down. I have had a hard time coming up with unique and interesting lines to say with my more ORIGINAL voices. I'm trying to show my range a little, since it varies greatly. I also do Parody voices for Anime characters, my favorite being Alucard.

I'm looking for help to write lines for my DEMO REEL. I want them to be about certain things you see in animes today. Ninjas (I'm doing Itachi and Sasuke chat for that) Mechs (Need idea) Vampires (Doing Alucard) Knights or soldiers during medival war (Need Idea) Wizard casting a spell, maybe a Master wizard teaching an apprentice to cast a certain spell convo (need more to that idea) Any other ideas are most welcomed, and most helpful. I'm open to all ideas.

I do cuss during my voice acting, but very little. And no sex lines or anything please. Thank you. Post reply here, or PM me ideas. biggrin

He kept all this under wraps so that no one finds out. Only his wife, his corrupt military adviser, and his own army (which does get just about wiped out in battle) know about this. He wants people in the end to think they died like heroes in battle...

It was hard for a few people to keep Watergate quiet. How is a whole army gonna keep quiet about murdering innocent people?

Not many walk away alive. Only about 75 people out of 1,000 very select who jon the Emperor's personal army. He houses them as well in a special location within the capital where they all spend a lot of time training for war.

That still wouldn't stop every single one of them from talking. He'd have to have them all killed by one person, whom he both trusts and watches all the time.

Hm. I think that might hit the book. It's like the Egyptian pharohs who'd kill the slaves who built their tombs when they were completed... So that no one runs off to tell people where it's located so that they would be robbed.

Still need a reason to kill the summoners though.

Do the summoners want something of theirs and aren't willing to trade for it?

Hello people of the "Think Box." I need your help with my fantasy novel series.

I was writing the outline of how the first book was going to go, making sure it was going as I want it to go. Anyway, I ran into a snag as I read it over.

I have an emporer, who is about 27 in the first book and has been ruling since his father was killed in battle four years prior to the book.

He is corrupt, and is my antagonist. He plans to wipe out a particular group of people that practice summoning of creatures by staging a battle in which he will take out the summoners. He makes it so that they battle an outside group of exiles who is using wild monsters that can wipe out a normal, no summoning army.

Well, the "exiles" are actually his own men, disguised as the exiles. So he wipes out all but one summoner (the main character) and has it so that the blame goes to the exiles.

But I need a damn good reason why he wants summoners gone. He will send out every summoner (appox. half a million summoners total) to be "killed in action."

Any help on why he should be doing this?

A td;lr:
- He is an emporer.
- Age is 27.
- Will be newlywed to his empress at the time of the battle.
- Father died four years before the time of the book in battle. Mother is still alive.
- Wishes to wipe out summoners by staging a battle and killing them with powerful forces that summoners will have a very hard time beating.
- Will throw the blame on the exiled group of people who had nothing to do with it.
- The exiled people makes NO contact with the rest of the world, and is unaware of the situation.

Perhaps he sees the summoner race as a terrible threat to his power? Maybe there are old legends of summoners who can raise monsters strong enough to defeat entire empires. Or that he's very paranoid and simply believes they have the potential to undo him.

(And maybe you could have it so that his father WAS killed by a summoner, and deep down that contributes to his desire for them to be wiped out, but doesn't quite admit it or realise it himself. Maybe? :S)

My dear friendly person from the Final Fantasy Sub-Forum... You just solved what I needed to get this bookseries on the go... I can blend these ideas together and make something with it!

THANK YOU! *hugs and scurries off to write*

No problem, I'm glad I could help.

Quick question (though I don't know if anyone here would know), if someone got stabbed in the back with three daggers (thrown), what are the chances of surviving? Provided that they didn't hit any vital spots. Would they be deep at all? What are the chances of being able to attend an important even the day after then? If the chances are low and unbelievable, what kind of wound would make it believable?

It sounds like it would be very hard to survive.

Provided these were small knives and didn't cut deep, didn't hit the spinal column and didn't hit and vital organs or large veins, and provided this person recieved some very, very good medical attention shortly afterwords, then they would be able to POSSIBLY attend and event the day after. If they did, though, they'd be bound to a wheelchair and couldn't really move or do much.

Close to zip. Getting stabbed by something in the side with something a lot less fast would help, but it'd still take some damn good stamina to attend a meeting the day after.

Thank you, your answers help a lot. He's a trained warrior, so even if he was in a lot of pain, he would go.
