Lol, you're half correct. This is what it is.

 

That looks very interesting.

[Endless Thundaga 533]

I'm not half correct. 10% maybe.

That looks very interesting.

Fun fact; dressage actually dates back many hundreds of years ago. It was a skill used in war as well, allowing the horse to easily maneuver around the battlefield. I actually was considering showcasing this with Jynn and Melstrome, but due to time constraints and the fact that the target was Raiden, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

So much sickness and troubles as of late.  This is not the best September of my millennia of living (okay, centuries (okay, decades)), but I am bound and determined not to let it be the worst.  Hang in there, my friends.

 

In the meantime, I have a bounty of questions for you all to talk upon if you so wish.  I'm always curious about what others think about things.

 

 

1.)  Since I am pretty sure a good number of people were brought here due to a love for games, what are some old games from your childhood you replay now?

 

2.)  If not where we currently are, what type of fictional universe would you like to live in and be a part of?

 

3.)  What skill would you greatly like to master out of anything?  Cooking, breeding a terrifying race of superbats (a cookie for whomever gets the reference), diplomacy, breakdancing, playing chess -- anything goes.

It is a bit of a slow end of August/beginning of September, but if this RP has proven to be anything, it is persistent. We'll see this through, my friend.

 

As to your questions:

 

1.) The Kingdom Hearts games, Final Fantasy X and the Halo Series before Halo 5.

 

2.) Oddly enough, Overworld is rather appealing, but that might be cheating/bias, so I'd say Overwatch, with KH being a close second and Destiny a close third.

 

3.) I won't be claiming your cookie I'm afraid, but I can still offer an answer: Writing. RPing here and writing the occasional short story in my spare time is good practice, but I really want to get into it proper.

[Stardustblade358 806]

1) I will always play the Pokemon series regardless of how many remakes and regardless how old I get. I remember it like yesterday when my dad took me to a store to pick up Pokemon Fire Red for the GBA. Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, Kingdom Hearts and Animal Crossing are also games I love to replay both old and new.

 

2) I'd love to live in the BNHA world or in the Tiger & Bunny world. I don't know what it is but superheroes and super powers is just so appealing and fun sounding.

 

3) I wish I could play some sort of instrument, specifically the piano or the guitar. One thing I'd love to master is being able to do decent lineart at a fast pace TuT

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

I must also iterate to Mystics, that yes, Soren did switch flanks in order to attack Helios, who entered Shiva's current flank, to battle Mystras forces as a Manticore before Soren intervened.

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

Ooh, some fun questions!

 

1.)  Since I am pretty sure a good number of people were brought here due to a love for games, what are some old games from your childhood you replay now?

I feel like these answers are going to date us.  For myself, though, I love replaying the Super Mario series, specifically the classics for the NES or Super Mario 64.  It brings back a lot of fond memories from my childhood, and there is something so cheerful about Mario that I adore.  There are other games as well, of course, chiefly Ocarina of Time and pretty much any Nintendo classic for the SNES (I'd say FFVI and Chrono Trigger, but I didn't actually play these until my teenage years, so they don't really count as fond childhood replays).

 

 

2.)  If not where we currently are, what type of fictional universe would you like to live in and be a part of?

That's a tough one, as I'm pretty happy where I am now.  A lot of universes that I adore are also those that I wouldn't want to live in, but if I were to choose any fictional world it would have to be the one of Harry Potter.  The wizarding world is so fascinating and would be so much fun.  Another that I think may be fascinating would be the Golden Sun world, for wielding psynergy would be pretty darn awesome.

 

 

3.)  What skill would you greatly like to master out of anything?  Cooking, breeding a terrifying race of superbats (a cookie for whomever gets the reference), diplomacy, breakdancing, playing chess -- anything goes.

Drawing.  I would love to become a better artist and be able to create extraordinary digital art.  Right now my skills are subpar, and they're really worsening as I get older and have less time to dedicate to the art.

 

 

Jeez. First Texas had Hurricane Harvey, now we Floridians might get Hurricane Irma. Absolutely no chill this hurricane season huh? Anyways, I'll try to post the next two days. WiFi is acting up again.

I fear for Florida as well.  Hopefully it bypasses you guys!  It's crazy how many hurricanes are hitting North America this season.

[Vaude 536]

1. Kingdom Hearts.

 

2.Same answer as above!

 

3. Does it need to be a skill or could it be a trait like beauty or just a superpower of some sort?

 

Traits and skills could be synchronous, so I think that should be just fine.  As for choices, nice all around.  Kingdom Hearts is a great series and would be fun to live in, provided Sephiroth doesn't bump into you.

 

1. Legend of Zelda (NES), Super Mario Bros. (Nes) Final Fantasy (IV, VI, VII, etc.) Golden Sun (gba)

 

2. I have three choices: Legend of Zelda, Rune Factory or Golden Sun

 

3. This one is tough, but I supose it would be "socializing". I'm awful at that.

 

Very nice choices, all.  I considered those three games for the second question as well and resulted in choosing Rune Factory too, funnily enough.  Adventure if you want it, peace and interaction when you want it, and so many potential bachelors and bachelorettes -- Rune Factory is such a great gaming series, much like its sister game Harvest Moon.

 

1. Kingdom Hearts, Monster Hunter, and Ledgend of Zelda BOTW.

 

2. Not sure. I would say Monster Hunter, but in real life I'm a bit of a cautious man, so I'd say Kingdom Hearts.

 

3. Dressage

 

Dressage!  A fine choice, if I may say so.  As a son of a horse farmer and horse showwoman, I applaud this manner of thinking.  Do you have a horse or horses?  Also, Monster Hunter is awesome as well, though one must always be wary of konchus (*mutters*, those flopping monstrosities . . .).

Those are strong contenders for choices; it seems like you like the action, sci-fi, and fantasy elements to your universes!  Also, how very neat!  A fellow writer!  I should have known about this long ago, but I never really caught it besides through your vocabulary and roleplaying.

Ooh, the Pokemon series, and Harvest Moon!  I haven't played that game of Harvest Moon, but I hear nothing but great things about it and want to check it out.  As for worlds and skills, good choices there.  Artistry is a talent of which I wish I had more, however my greatest strengths lie in literature, so I stick to that.

Ain't that the truth.  =P  If the world only knew how old I was, it would be embarrassed by its youth, but those are good choices for games and universes.  Wizardry would be great fun, as well as bending the rules of space and fitting anything into a purse or a briefcase.  And flying cars and brooms?  Such greatness!  Lastly, artistry again!  A fine choice as well for similar reasons as before, though I'm sure with practice your skills will result in grandeur again.  I loved your character artwork.  Stardust's too; I forgot to mention that earlier.

In the past (like a couple months ago) I had a thoroughbred/warmblood cross named Celtic, he was an incredibly smart horse, he seemed almost sentient. He was a great all around horse, he could do elementary level dressage, and he could jump four foot fences at max. Melstrome is heavily based off of Celtic and the only difference between the two is that Melstrome is 18 hands tall, with a black and white overo color, while Celtic was 16 hands and gray (and Mel has a bit more sentient intelligence).

 

I am incredibly pumped for Monster Hunter World next year! Hopefully those g'dang konchus won't return.

Ooh, that is a gorgeous coat on Celtic!  My mom was very fond of Lippitt Morgan horses, a lovely and proud breed that has good stature and performance, and I went into a few shows too when I was young.  Good job getting the blue ribbon, if that is you in the picture!

 

As for the plague of the Monster Hunter universe, I certainly hope they don't come back.  So much pain and agony and turmoil have been caused by the carapaced, flopping lobsters already, and we don't need more.

Then for three, I'd say learning things at a faster pace. I'd love to learn a skill after watching it one time. It's kind of a cheat answer, so for a more realistic choice, I'd go with having a better short term memory. It always is so hard to remember names and dates for me!

Nice! I remember taking horse riding lessons at around four or 5 years old. If I ever have the money I'd love to own a horse to ride. That would be such a stress reliever.

He's a handsome horse!

Thanks. He was a great partner. What I would do to ride and compete with him again......

 

Anyways, my family has decided that if Hurricane Irma's (which is now a category 5) path hits our state, we will evacuate Florida for the weekend. So during that time, I may be unable to post for a few days, maybe even a week or so. Hopefully everyone will understand.

[Vaude 536]

I wanted to let everyone know (a little late, I know) that I will be unable to post until tonight.  Work and the holiday weekend has been a little action-packed, so I haven't had much time to do a post.

 

As for Hurricane Irma, good grief, it really is a Category 5 . . . this will be a terrifying storm, and I'm hoping that the hurricane will just turn around and return to the depths of Hades from whence it came.  Barring that possibility, I am entirely understanding about your potential leave and wish you, your family, and the rest of the hit population the best.

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

Is everyone having difficulty keeping up with the three day posting restriction?  Should we bump it to four days?  I feel like there's many of us who are barely making the three day mark (myself included) and would consider bumping the posting to four days instead of three if there's a pretty good consensus.  Would it be easier if we all try to shorten our posts?

 

On a side note, I'll be posting later today.  I have to do some stuff around the house first.

No worries at all.  Your safety comes first.  I'm praying that Hurricane Irma doesn't devastate Florida, or anywhere for that matter.  Thank you for the heads up, though.

i'd say up to five days, especially with the whole hurricane business going on where thundaga lives (Stay safe fam). 

I've not had much trouble with it, since im unemployed now so I got some free time to post. I don't believe anyone is waiting for me at the moment.

 

I also think its about time to make a war update post detailing how the flanks are holding, I think this is as good a time as any.

 

P.s: if you value your legs, never do treadmil on leg day, especially after the training. Trust me.

I'm alright with the three day restiction since I post around that time, but if everyone else needs more days then that's fine with me.

 

And on a serious note, those who are on Irma's path, stay safe.

Seriously, it must be rough to live with threat of tornadoes. 

 

Im lucky in Brazil we don't have any of that, neither earthquakes, tsunamis or tornadoes.

 

But we do have the scorching heat of the sun here.

I'm from Mexico and there was a tornado close to where I live a few days ago, nothing dangerous.

I agree about the scorching heat! I don't really like it. I'm more of a cold weather kind of person.

In Florida, tornadoes aren't as common like in most states or places, and usually they're weak. The only way we get strong ones is when they spawn from hurricanes. And in regards to heat, it's almost always 80 or 90 degrees, and the humidity makes it feel like 110. Just step outside for at least ten minutes and you'll be sweating like crazy.

In Puerto Rico we didn't have to worry about tornadoes. There had been like one or two waterspouts and they've only been seen in coastal cities and usually off the coast. Maybe one Earthquake or two but never something really big. Ever since moving to Texas though, tornadoes have given me a crippling fear of rain. Because they're so sudden and there's no warning of where it will show up and when I can't sleep on rainy nights anymore. It's 100 degrees out here lately~ Though, there's no humidity like in Puerto Rico, so there's that.

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

In brazil we get 35º Degree Celsius and the humidity gives a thermal feeling of 40º

 

Thats on a good day.

[Stardustblade358 806]

When I lived in Puerto Rico the humidity was so insufferable that I would go to sleep and wake up and get up and there's a giant puddle of sweat on my bed. I somehow miss it lmao

[Elrandir 783]

In my city we get a 40º degree celsius in what mexicans call the "canicula", that's the hottest period of the year.

I like to stay inside the house because the heat is unbearable.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

Yeah, in Alabama, we get both, though a hurricane has to be pretty determined to get up to me.

 

Anyway, sorry for the delay, Mystic. Lost track of time.
