Seeing actual bushfire footage looks straight out of Hell... It moves so quickly and so powerfully, literally the trees just ignite. You firefighters are absolute legends, but please, don't die.

Just you...

and me.
Welcome to my little personal den of Hell! Sorry, sorry, I meant my personal profile. Same thing, right?
I'm a roleplayer, same as any around here. I've been doing it for about five years now, coming up to six in September. Its been quite the time, thinking back. I started out fresh as can be, understanding the basics of writing but never quite knowing how to become better, or become as great as those around me. In the end, I did the only thing I really knew at the time:
Write as much garbage as possible and hope for the best!
As you can see, that particular tactic fucking failed. Jokes aside, I like to think I've developed a lot over the years, both as a writer and as a person. However, absolutely nothing can dissuade my weeaboo ways and supporting my OTP with all that I can freaking muster! If you haven't already guessed, said OTP is Chrom x Robin (Chrobin) from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Highly recommend the game, there's a reason (other than nintendo's cheapskate attitude) that it hasn't dropped in price, it's honestly the best place to start off in the series. And hey, maybe you'll end up addicted like me and want to buy every game on the 3DS like a fucking loony?
Speaking of loonies, the Fire Emblem Chrobin Comic Dub Project has recently finished, so for those of you who also appreciate the best ship in existence, I highly recommend it. Hell, even if you're not interested in that, I do highly recommend watching it for those into fantasy love stories. The quality improves drastically with each episode, so trust me when I say by the end of it you should be thoroughly impressed. It has helped motivate me in ways I can hardly describe with words, and so I thought the least I could do was put this out there. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know it was the perfect thing for me.
"Do you think you can tip any of the scales in here?" "Chrom, for the love of Naga, I'm thinking..."
"So I heard."
"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know."
There is a universe. No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.
There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. Goodbye Octopi.
There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious. Food was eaten and no-one enjoyed it. Movies were released, and there was no laughing, or crying. No-one chuckled at a joke. Ever. Space collapsed back on itself, eventually, and there hadn't been a single moment of sentience in the entire history of creation.
There's another universe, where the strong force is too strong the weak force is too weak and nothing forms. Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. Another with too many dimensions. Another with not enough. Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn to survive. Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion. And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution. An atlas of dead-ends.
Then again, there is one exception.
There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness. And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life.
@Takashi I feel bad about not posting for awhile, though I honestly can't think of anything to write. Feel free to go for the summary, and I'll make a reply after that :P
I think a meeting with Maryvale for both your characters would be very interesting :P Accepted. If you wish you can write up an introduction post in the IC or I can do one for you.
"You still didn't answer my question..." The girl replies with a sigh, rubbing her forehead. "I don't even know your name, let alone what you stand for. You can't possibly expect me to join you on an excursion with a man who hasn't even introduced himself, do you?"
"I don't see the problem, here..." The Jester remarks with an unnatural calm about him. "It's not like it's a big deal, right?"
Seeing Teddy jumping out and about was the distraction he needed to slip away, but... something felt awfully wrong about that... So wrong that Ken, stubborn as a mule and courageous as a fool, actually goes out there with Teddy, imitating him and doing the same as he was, letting go of Kansas beforehand so she wouldn't be dragged into the situation. "Hey, bozos! Over 'ere!" He shouts at the zombies, followed by some witty remarks he learnt from the cheeky protagonists of various anime and games. "Come on, are those your grandma's legs?"
"As for you lot, get going!" He orders those which had accompanied him thus far. "That means you too, little dude." He adds, nodding at Teddy. "I can keep these things busy, you just get to safety."
I should have my reply up in an hour, though it seems I've encountered a form of writer's block and can't think how to begin my reply. No need to worry, though, I'll get around it somehow.... I hope.
Actually, never mind, I'll wait for Iruka and Ollie :P
Name: Mokyu Mochizukki Age: 19 Height: 143cm Weight: 44kg Likes: Sweets, making music and remixes, playing games with her sister, sleeping, yaoi. Dislikes: Veggies, her brother's flirting, mean people, bugs. Party Trick: "Umm... I can eat lots and not get fat? It's kinda depressing since I can't grow, though. Ooh, I can name any retro game you throw at me, and people say I have an anime girl voice, but I don't think so." Profession: Makes remixes and "Dj's" for fun, though sometimes plays her songs at the arcade (Club LUSH scares her). Works at the Shine City Ice Rink as an instructor for newbies. Bio/Personality: The younger adopted twin born a minute after midnight of the new year, Mokyu is incredibly sweet, but also straight up flat (in terms of personality... and physicality). She's always looking so tired that it's a wonder what she does in her spare time that makes her so deadpanned. Part-English, part-Japanese, Mokyu was taken in by the Mochizukki family with her brother in their early years, and has been eternally grateful for that. Though she's only been recently made aware of the fact she's adopted, she still treats everyone as though they were her family, with all the kindness in the world.
She became interested in music and learned to play the keyboard thanks to her sister, Ryoki, and has learnt how to DJ and remix due to her own practices.
Name: Kimasu Mochizukki Age: 19 Height: 176cm (hair included) Weight: 67kg Likes: Girls, flirting with girls, complimenting girls, being around girls... yeah. Girls. Dislikes: Sausage-fests, people who take advantage of others kindness (in fact he hates it), alcohol, broccoli, people who don't try. Party Trick: "Would you believe me if I said I could steal your heart without you even knowing it? No? Well, allow me to give it a try...~" Aside from his incredible flirting, the boy is also gifted in playing the "Knife Game". Profession: Training to take over his father's company; currently unemployed. Bio/Personality: The older adopted twin born a minute before midnight of the new year, Kimasu is about as charming and outgoing as they come. With words that could infatuate a deaf person, Kimasu does his best to please the fine ladies in which he'll converse with. Part-English, part-Japanese, Kimasu was taken in by the Mochizukki family with his sister in their early years, and has found great comfort in growing up with the family. Though he is aware of being adopted, he treats the Mochizukki family like his own, and due to this is training to become the heir to the family's company.
He learned how to sweet-talk so well from "The Master", A.K.A. Ryoki, though refined his techniques all throughout high school to become a better gentleman.
