About
Well, it's late, and as always, I should be doing other things. Instead I'm writing on Gaia. To be frank the reason is probably because I like to shirk things, just sorta let them fester in the corner until they become such an obtuse and blatant problem that they pierce through my shell of lackadaisical incompetence and I'm forced to fix them. This method can be applied to most things in life, my favorite probably being school, seeing as it is so easy to procrastinate that it practically occurs by itself. Convenience!
Anyway, I suppose I should get this about section rolling. Previously I had a lengthy and painstakingly written one, mostly filled with childish blather about my takes on life and literature and the pursuit of happiness and philosophy and other such frivolities that I like to occupy my mind with. Now I could fill it with the image of a potato and essentially accomplish the same thing. Instead I'm just going to apply to the norm and write some stuff that I suppose (NICE) people might find interesting.
First and foremost, I've been around Gaia for a long time. I probably started wondering the forums when I was ten, however I can't actually account to this number as I wasn't really thinking about it at the time. I had an account prior to this with the same exact name, one day I came back and the name was all jumbled, it was naked, and my items were gone. Not really sure what happened. But that's alright, because I made another one: and thus, this account was born.
I had for some time prior to Gaia been writing. I believe I first struck up interest in the art around third grade, when I began writing what I believe I would now call a fan-fic type thing of Dark Cloud 2. I believe this was probably my first inspiration to write as well. It was a pretty amazing game with a well written story and engrossing game play, and certainly one of the best I've ever played. After that I began to actively pen a story that shared some similarities to Deltora Quest and other such fantasy novels I had read at the time. That was closer to sixth grade, and I worked on it with breaks in activity for 6-8th grade, 7th being the one where I wrote most often, and 8th where I began to lose interest. In the end I think it came out to about 60 or so pages, and probably would have ended in another 700, lol.
Somewhere in the middle of that I stumbled upon Gaia. It was summer at the time, and for the first time in my life I discovered, in the chatter box section of the forum, an outlet for my writing beyond my treasured notebook. I can't recall exactly what the thread was called, but it was some thousands of pages long, and was a beautiful conglomeration of terrible grammar, one liners, and typo's, which allured me so fantastically to post. I did so, and soon found myself surrounded by about 4 roleplays, all of which lasted different lengths of time. I would say my favorite out of all of the ones that started on that thread (you know, it may have been another thread, but hell if I remember) was with Princess Pillow, who I spent some months writing a beginning level role-play with over pms, and became probably the longest one I've ever participated in. It was only after that when I joined my first group RP, one about an island, I believe, and ventured further into the world of Gaia.
Time passed, and my ability to write- or, to a greater extent, think coherently- expanded, and I began to participate in more advanced RP's and ones of increasingly variant genres. I fell into a cycle of joining one, it dying, and occasionally taking gaia breaks. I can't remember exactly when I came back, but it may have been sometime last summer. I've been around ever since.
--((People who don't feel like reading through the previous, long winded biography, look here))--
Currently I'm fifteen years old (5/1/2011), and within a month I will be sixteen. I'm a sophomore in my local public school, and I live in New Jersey. A few my hobbies include video games, anime, manga, languages, reading, writing, and screwing about on the internet. I've dabbled in programing, but am losing some interest in the manner, as I've just been entirely too busy to pursue it. If I were asked what languages I know currently, I suppose I would could Latin amongst English, seeing as I am supposedly proficient enough to take the AP course, and I'm not completely lost when reading the Aeneid (it's the Iliad). I'm currently working on learning Japanese, and if you're wondering why (or have already arrived to the appropriate conclusion), it's because I'm a nerdy anime otaku like guy- in the frankest words possible. I'd like to learn more languages beyond Japanese, however I think I'll settle with that for now, as it does consume much of my time.
There's of course tons of other things I like. I've had several animals in the past, two of which died recently (my dog we had to put down, my guinea pig of old age), and the third of which is my cat, Thomas, currently surpassing 10 years old. He's spiteful and likes to bite people, and especially enjoys going for the back of the ankles while you try to walk out into the kitchen to feed him. I suppose you could blame it on his feline hyperethesia (sorry if I spelled that wrong lol) which generally allows him to be a crazy, hallucinating, twitchy SOB at all hours of the day. I prefer to think that he's just really fricken insane, and I suppose if you take the guise of a medical name away from the matter, it's all the same thing.
I also like nature, camping, things of that sort. Traveling is something I really enjoy doing, especially to far, far away places. I've been to Florida god knows how many times, and I don't think going their is nearly as exhilarating as vising the Caribbeans or Bahamas. We're currently trying to convince our Latin teacher to get the school board to allow us a trip to Rome next year, although the chances are fleeting at best. Going to college out of country would be lovely, and I can't say I'll keep my roots in the US for very long. Wanderlust and all that babble. It's possible that part of the reason I'm interested in languages is because I would like to go places where people don't speak English, and not look like that foreigner guy with the funny accent asking where his car is at while dancing frantically. And there is of course, being able to listen to animes without them being subbed/dubbed. In all honesty, I prefer to watch them subbed them dubbed, so I hear the original characters voice. I'm not sure how many of you have been in Spanish or French class or some such, and your teacher shows you a video from Sponge Bob (more of a middle-school thing. No Latin Sponge Bob, sadly xD) and you're sitting there going, 'wtf happened to his voice?' but it's kind of like that. A prime example is Shigemori (Yoshimori's grandfather) from Kekkaishi. For some reason it feels like the value's being degraded if the voices are changed.
Anyway, I like to talk, and I've been RPing quite a lot recently. With both these things in mind, if I'm not busy, I will of course be accepting offers for RP's. IF you're here and just bored, post something in my profile >.>. Like seriously, I like to chatter randomly. It occupies time. I'm lonely. sad . Ok, hyperbole, but yea, feel free to post any random thoughts that come to mind, I won't spurn them. I'm going to leave this open ended because I can't be asked to write a good conclusion. With that in mind...

1) It is pretty clear that Mikado has feelings for Kairi so this could be an opportunity for his character to act on them
BUT
2) Mikado and Kairi are constantly under fire so he may see it as a threat to both of their health if they bring down their guard by starting a romantic relationship, or showing that kind of vulnerability to their enemies. Not to mention, Mikado just saw one of his best friends on his death bed
BUT
3) He is also emotionally unstable at this moment. Mikado likes Kairi, he's sad, he's feeling blood lust, he's angry, he's maybe scared. Most people would jump on a womanly distraction to get rid of all those emotions. Maybe he would take it too far?

Well, if it wasn't already obvious, the guy in the hazard suit was the Gray Man. He takes her into the woods (the only place that villains ever go in this roleplay) to kill her. She thinks he is ******** terrifying because she has never seen him up close before, and she thinks she is going to die. Then a giant bird (akin to that was in the new tree) distracts him with Superbird call and hands her the beads that were in the tree (if you already had an idea for the beads, they're different beads). The beads are kind of like a scythe on a chain weapon, but without the scythe. The post ended with her in a tug-of-war with the Gray Man, knowing that letting go means being weaponless and defenseless.
My anger is very much fluctuating at this moment.
That was an absurdly long post, do you mind if I paraphrase? I'm so sorry but I just don't think I have it in me to type it all out again.
