Word Syndrome [fantasy, mystery, modern, detective(?)]

[Guilty Spark]

I'm just rolling with what comes to mine really, and perhaps poking at what seems to stick out.

On that note, allow me to illustrate my concerns with point four once again. This is a city of eight million people. So, imagine, the Council passes a new law establishing a public health service, and creating the requirements for access to public health services. Understandably, they have things to do and can't afford for their personal offices to be inundated with applications for the public health service, so in the legislation they establish the "Oblak Health Administration" granting it a certain amount of funding, appointing it's leader(s), and giving it the authority to administrate and regulate the public health care system. That's what I meant when I said Federal Departments, even a city needs them when it's four times larger than Miami.

[Headphones]

Alright, lets suppose such is the case with administrations. What do you intend to do with this information? Create a high official character like you mentioned earlier? I see the idea is tempting, but what prospective do you see in it? What are your intentions for character development? I'm asking simply out of curiosity, really.

[Guilty Spark]

I wasn't going to make a character who ran a department, I just thought they needed to be taken into consideration for realism. My character concept is not yet finished, I may not even complete it, but as of now I'm designing a character with a politically driven agenda. Ambitious, cunning, tactful. Someone with a plan to become a major influence over Oblak. Knowing things like how the government functions, and how the bureaucracy functions will aid me in making the character accurately.

[Guilty Spark]

I am immersed in my character history at this point, it's developing rather nicely so far.

[Headphones]

I'm interested in how your character will turn out. I have been told you are an accurate and skilled role-player, so I'm glad you'll be part of the team =3

So far, however, we certainly do not have enough people to start. Only Redwing has submitted a sheet, which I have accepted. No one else? Perhaps I should do some advertising or scout for people. Do any of you have friends who might be interested?

[AlidaMaria]

I'm also working on my sheet, I just want her to become the most realistic person I've written about thus far so it's taking a while, excuses for the delay ^_^'

[Headphones]

Don't worry, Alida. Take your time and write as much and as detailed as you like. =3

[Headphones]

Double post ^ ^"

Guilty Spark, I forgot to react to something you mentioned awhile ago about Leon. I don't believe that was the character you were referring to (excuse me but I forgot his name). I personally think it's Shouma from "Mawaru Penguindrum". If you haven't watched that anime, I highly recommend it. You might get turned off by the first few episodes ( they made me stop for a bit, only to return a few months later), however, do continue watching further. Those simple-minded episodes have a big impact later ;)

[Guilty Spark]

Who told you I was accurate or skilled? They must not have RPed with me.

And this is Miharu so the two of them have a distinct resemblance.

[Headphones]

The user, who gave me that information, shall remain anonymous X3 If I must directly quote them: "Still, he's a great RPer. He's definitely worth the trouble, in my opinion."
When that certain user uses the word "great", it translates to "skilled", "accurate" and the like, for they do not frequently use it.

And, I must say, they do have their similarities, but they do have their differences. Then a again, the picture and Shouma don't have that much in common, except the penguin on the apron, which I cut out to save space and emphasize on the face, like a profile photo would. The wonders fan art can give you~

How has your summer anime season been thus far, Guilty Spark? Or are you not the type that watches shows that are still airing?

[Guilty Spark]

Someone called me troublesome. T_T

And you're right, I typically watch animes that have already been completed. I really just watch what I come across.

[Headphones]

I see. Well, I did mention "Mawaru Penguindrum" already. Believe me when I say that anime, despite its childish appearance, is a hard psychological story worth watching. Another one I would recommend, if you are looking for something that is simply a little life drama with some fantastical elements, I would recommend "Nagi no Asukara". Then again, if you are still looking for something with psychology, I would recommend "Psycho-Pass", but if you wish for a movie that might just make you cry, I say to give "Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki" a try. The last one I would say is a must for everyone, unless you are a hard-core fantasy-lover and dislike seeing something that is, for the most part, slice-of-life. And there is my personal favorite "Wolf's Rain", but you should be ready for some context reading there. XD

Are there any notable animes you would like to mention? I still have more on my list, many actually, that I would say are worth watching.

[Guilty Spark]

The list of anime I have watched is over 80 at this point, I don't know what to suggest since I don't know your preferred genre/style yet.

So I'll just tossing out some that I like.

1-Samurai Seven, based on the old western movie "The Magnificent Seven" but with dramatic sword fighting and men turned into machines.

2-Jormungand, the tale of an arms dealer which is mostly given from the perspective of a child soldier she hired as a bodyguard.

3-Baccano, a tale of avarice, cruelty, and immortality set in America in the early 1900s. If you haven't seen this, it's a must watch if you're a fan of Durarara.

4-Durarara, if you haven't already seen it, is about strange happenings in the Japanese city of Ikebukuro which include a Headless Horse(wo)man and an impossibly strong Russian sushi chef.

Edit: This is assuming you've seen Darker Than Black, and Death Note. The latter of which seems extremely safe as a conclusion.

[AlidaMaria]

Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki made me cry so much... Geez...I don't even know why exactly but there was just this air of emotion and sadness around it. (And the combination of pulling all-nighters and exam stress probably helped as well, lol.)
Can I interest any of you in the work of Studio Gibli? It has the same sort of atmosphere as Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki to a certain extend. I've only seen three of their movies thus far but I loved them all ^_^

Thanks Headphones, I really appreciate it :)

[Guilty Spark]

I'm finding too many problems with the character I'm trying to create so, at least for now, I'm withdrawing my interest. Good luck with this.

[Headphones]

Well, Spark, I have seen "Durarara" and I did start "Baccano", although I stopped because... Why did I stop watching, actually? Hmm. I think it's because I forgot XD I will be watching it, though!

Yes, you've got me, I have seen Death Note. I actually watched it this year, since I denied watching everything that was overly popular. I still won't watch Naruto, no matter what people say XP. I won't deny it has had its impact on me, but I have done everything in my power not to allow it to captivate me to such an extent that it would be an outright copy of it. Although I loved the mind games, when Light switched from anonymously punishing criminals to the ideal of becoming a god of the new world, I remember that I instantly smirked and knew he was going to fail. Any human, who believes they can become something higher than humanity itself in terms of commanding and ruling the world, is being unrealistic and naive. Not to mention, in my opinion, if the Death Note existed, it should have been used only on criminals, who weren't caught. Life in prison, once more in my opinion, is worse than death, because it teaches that actions do indeed have long-term consequences, not an easy way out.

Ah, "Darker than Black". Every time I tell myself to watch that anime. Then I go to bed and wake up the next morning only to have forgotten all about it. I will watch it! Really. I believe that your avatar and signature will be enough to intimidate me to make me watch it XD.

Oh, Alida, I have seen Studio Ghibli's films. Those classics are masterpieces that have so far barely been topped by anything in my personal charts. In chronological order, I have seen:
1. Mononoke Hime
2. Spirited Away
3. Howl's Moving Castle
4. My Neighbor Totoro
I have been meaning to watch "Whisper of the Heart" and "The Cat Returns".

While we're still around this topic, my most recommended manga is "MAGI: The Labyrinth of Magic". There are also 2 anime seasons and one side-story anime. I have personally only seen the first season and... well, my expectations weren't met and I barely finished the first season. This is most likely because the manga's art is wonderful. If you decide to read it, do note that the first few chapters aren't as grate as the ones that come in later. The artist improves dramatically over the course of her project. I'm so proud of her as a fan~
Another manga I would recommend is "Pandora Hearts", although I haven't been keeping up to it much, due to the chapters coming in a bit late, I believe. Lovely art, lovely story. Once more, the first few chapters are not as great, but the artwork becomes beautiful later. It's a truly touching story, if you ask for my humble opinion.
To make it a three, although I have many, "Kuroshitsuji" just amazing. Again, first chapters - not as brilliant as those a bit later. Current state - gorgeous!

EDIT: Wha? Spark, I sent you a PM!

[Guilty Spark]

If you remember Isaac and Miria from Durarara, you'll see them in Baccano.

Owow, I love Magi! I read most of the manga, untill a while back. Now I really want to read the rest. I was planning on watching the anime as well but if you don't recommend it, I think I'll skip that then.
And woooh! Spark inspired me to continue watching Darker tgan Black as well xD So I downloaded it in HD, it was the best thing I did this week.

I feel guilty, but I've just lost the spark.
