I considered that possibility, but when I double checked my list batman was not popping up anywhere on it, even as I refresh it.

I did, the image was either added on to the list of gif's or replaced one though.
I'm assuming replaced cause I see no reason for an admin/mod to add such a gif to it otherwise.

Fire Emblem RP

Seyl Tyl

Name: Seyl Tyl

Race: Beorc

Class: Wyvern Knight

Sex & Gender:

Age: 26

Appearance:(Though with white skin, not purple).
-Height: 5'8"
-Weight: 145lb



Equipment: Steel Axe, Black Plated Armor

Personality: She is often indistinguishable from her fellow men. Often fighting, acting and talking just like them, and basically being adopted as another brother among arms as a result. Out of battle she tends to be calm, rational and calculating on what would the wisest move be, but not without care or compassion for others. In battle she is largely the same, her ability to keep calm in the face of battle is what has allowed her to survive for so long, and tame a Wyvern in battle.

Bio: She was born in Vinsenia and spent the first ten years of her life there, having had to move to (Insert attacked nation) because her father was unable to find better work elsewhere. For a while she didn't like it there because she did not know anyone, as a result she spent most time climbing up tree's and looking into the sky. At the age of 12 though she got to see a special sight, dragon riders from the Royal army were practicing drills in the sky far above. To Seyl the sight was amazing, seeing such magnificent creatures fly and battle with such elegance, and their riders use them with such skill. This experience inspired her start taking swordsmanship and riding lessons for the rest of her childhood. Swordsman ship soon changing to axe-wielding as she found she preferred the directness and extra weight behind each below. Her riding lessons started with horses. eventually moving on to Pegasus's. She was not able to fly a Wyvern as a child because those were reserved for the army, so at the age of 18 she joined the army and within her first month of training her skill with a Pegasus made her more than qualified enough to become trained on flying a Wyvern (Proceed to group Bio to learn more).

Likes: Flying, Freedom

Dislikes: Arrogance, Control

Strengths: Strong willed, Focused, Organized, Intelligent

Weakness: Judging, Over-Confident

Other: Her skill with flight and wyverns (Unknowingly to her) is not simply due to her practice towards it as a child.

Garin Tyl

Name: Garin Tyl

Race: Beorc

Class: Peagsus Knight

Sex & Gender:

Age: 24

Appearance:
-Height: 5'6"
-Weight: 150lb



Equipment: Steel Lance, White Chain Armor

Personality: He is very kind, caring and protective over others. He will often be the one who stays in a losing fight because a civilian or brother in arms is still out there and in need of help. He is realistic and realizes a lost cause when he see's one, but that still does not stop him from walking away with pain and regret. In battle he is able to fly with elegance, but sometimes get's too worked up in the fighting. Especially when setting up a finishing blow on a foe.

Bio: Garin was born and grew up in (Invaded countries name here). He was always a bit frail and weak as a child, having been born with an illness that made him get exhausted easily. This caused his mother to constantly worry and shelter him inside as a child. Not being exposed to most of the roughplay that boys did Garin grew up to be a far more gentle and passive person than most men around him. However, at the age of 12 his mother ending up dying from illness. And then his father decided he couldn't just sit back and let the same happen to his son, so he got him outside playing constantly in whatever it was his son wanted, hoping his son would become healthy enough not die the same way. Originally he was happiest just getting fresh air while on a horse, so he took up riding lessons. But one day during lessons he noticed a fellow classmate being harrassed by some of the more troublesome kids in town, furious he charged over to chase them off, which didn't end well. He was pulled off his horse and beaten until he was almost lifeless. Upon recovering a few months later he swore he needed to be ready to fight them off next time, so his father signed him up for combat lessons. But soon he eventually specialized in the Lance, it worked well on a horse and allowed him from distance from the actual fighting but still close enough to guarantee damage was being done.

As he got older bandit activity began to rise in the area, so more people needed protection. Garin wanting to help protect them joined the army at 18 so he could become a protector of the people against such threats (read group bio to see more).

Likes: Reading, Interacting with others

Dislikes: Cruelty, Excessive Violence

Strengths: Fast, Quick

Weakness: Rash & Impatient

Other: Garin always had to push himself more than usual to do physical tasks, and always feels a little funny in area's friends described as "Magical areas" (Could eventually learn to wield magic).

Yali Tyl

Name: Yali Tyl

Race/Class: Laguz - Hawk Tribe

Sex & Gender:

Age: 14

Appearance: (Though the wings are brown, not white)
-Height: 4'6"
-Weight: 170lb



Equipment: Laguz Band from his biological parents.

Personality: A very stubborn and reckless person, though this can be largely credited to his age. He is generally playful and very outgoing, but plays in a very aggressive way. He is however quick to anger, and constantly wants to be with his new parents Seyl and Garin when they fight, but is always refused. As a result he normally runs around the mercenary camp looking to take part in or at least watch as many practices and sparing sessions possible.

Bio: He was born in (Insert Laguz nation here) and grew up well accepted and loved by the community, and was raised to despise Beorc. He spent most of his childhood playing, but constantly watched the soldiers practice, wanting to one day be one himself. But one day his parents both had to accompany a group of Laguz to fly up to (insert attacked nations name here) to act on a rescue mission. Some other Laguz had been taken from the shores of their land by trappers, and a rescue mission was made. Yali begged to be brought along but was denied every time, so he simply waited until the patrol left and followed them. He remained hidden from them to the point that when they learned he had followed them they had just crossed the border, and it was simply safer to keep him along then send him back through Beorc territory with just his parents to protect him.

This ended up being a mistake though, the trapper's were well prepared. Having occupied a nearby village they ambushed the Laguz and caught them all, and one by one they killed them so they could take their remains as trophies. Yali being the youngest was left for last, which was the only thing that saved him. (To see more read the group bio).

Likes: Rough play, Exploring

Dislikes: Staying in one place, Being left out

Strengths: Tough & Strong

Weakness: His ability to be angered easily leaves him easily exposed to magic.

Other: His parents had served noble Laguz, so by blood Yali has some noble rights as a Laguz, assuming he ever returns to his homeland.

Group Bio (Once said character

Note: I'm making the Group Bio cause at a certain point their history is largely the same, so repeating in several times would become redundant.

Seyl had spent two years in the army before Garin joined, and in that time become rather skilled and command over a small group of fliers, a group that Garin upon finishing training was assigned to. Most of Seyl's men were very disciplined, did the job and followed order's to the letter. Garin was not like this, if he felt an order did not prioritize the safety of those they were meant to protect he would often complain, and disobey the orders. This caused Seyl to become quickly irritated with Garin and request he removal several times, each request denied.

One day though during a mission gone wrong, Bandits who had hold up a village had managed to shoot Seyl down and take her hostage. Her previous orders having been to head back if she was caught, her men all left the scene when this happened, except for Garin. Garin continued to stay and fight the Bandits, his Pegasus taking an arrow to the wing as a result resulting in a permanent blood stain. Garin's bravery in the town inspired the villager's to rise up and help, and together the Bandits were overpowered. Seyl was furious, but at the same time grateful and her opinions of him started to change. Back at camp Garin's superiors demanded that Garin get a new Pegasus, with his old one being believed to be unable to serve cause of his wing injury. Garin refused, saying he could treat his Pegasus and let him fly again. This as a result for Garin in trouble on a number of missions after with his mount being slow and struggling to keep up (Once appropriate therapy/treatment was applied so both wings were usable again) making Seyl have to save him several times, but eventually Garin was proved right as his mount made a full recovery and flew fine among the best of riders again.

During their time of service Seyl and Garin were growing close, close enough the rest of their troop constantly teased him as if they were a couple. Eventually that became the case, finding as much as they were at odds with one another on how to deal with a mission, they had fun with it and did care deeply for one another. But then something else happened which changed their lives drastically. They got a report as usual of bandits holding up a town and went to liberate it, but this time was different. These were no normal bandits, these bandit's were Laguz trappers. The bodies of poor Laguz victims littered the buildings they were held up in. But despite their skill in fighting Laguz, they proved little match for the royal army.

But after the fighting they discovered one Laguz lived, it was a boy from the Hawk tribe. Laguz were seen as wild and dangerous beast by most Beorc, so most of the men wanted the boy killed. As would their military superiors, Garin spoke up against this immediately. Seeing it as barbaric to kill an innocent boy cause of his race, and Seyl was hard pressed to agree. So together they ordered the men down and took the boy back with them alive and unharmed. But the superiors were not happy, they demanded the boy be killed but Seyl used her leverage as a commander to stop it. It worked, but it cost Seyl her job in the royal army... Though she was able to keep her Wyvern. Mainly because the Wyvern proved to be uncooperative to any other rider saved Garin who was willing leaving the army to follow Seyl.

With this new development, they needed work and to support a Laguz child. They had no chance to get him home, if they tried they'd be killed on sight by the Laguz who feared Beorc. They knew there odds of making this work were low, almost no one would hire two Beorc caring for a Laguz. But they tried their luck with mercenaries, where their skills would be most useful. Plus Merc's tend to be a diverse group of people, they were one of the more likely groups to accept a Laguz. And eventually the did, so they joined the Mercenaries and stayed with them for the next four years, doing jobs while raising Yali as their own. And during their time in the Mercenaries, they decided since they basically now had a family it was time to get married, so they were married after having worked a year for them when it was apparent Yali was to stay and they had the finances to pay for such a wedding.

I'm assuming in lieu, but I since I had 30+ images I didn't bother refreshing enough to confirm.
Especially since the site I made the gif sequence on was untampered so I couldn't even check there to figure out which one was messed with.

Atheism 2.0 - Atheism using Religions perks.

Imperfectionist said Interesting. Well, I'm glad my beliefs are satisfactory in your eyes, Gwazi. I don't think I'd be able to sleep at night otherwise.Again, though, you are revealing your raised-Christian bias. What you don't like, as I said on the last page, is the Christianity of your past, and you lump all faith-based thought in with that, placing it in the "to be avoided" category. Which is sad.

I gave you credit when you did some clever evaluation of my history, but that doesn't suddenly become a card you can use whenever I keep disagreeing with you on the topic. If you want to disprove me use logical arguments and points, guilt and shaming attempts won't do anything to help.

Let me word it this way, you dismissing my arguments with simply going "Your Bias" is the equivalent of me answering any criticism with "God". It doesn't answer the question, you're just filling a hole without explaining it. And honestly this is what I would accuse of crawling under people's skin, not what Brovo does. While he does try to be funny and teasing at times he does so in a friendly way and still get's his argument across.

Your post right here is outright sarcasm, and attempts to shame and guilt the other side. Which not only should function as a bigger insult, not only lacks an actual argument, but plays on emotion rather than logic. That's a big no-no in the debating world if your objective is to be reasonable and find the truth behind something.

So whats everyone up to?

Get to sleep and then catch up on RP's and YouTube video subscriptions in the morning.
After or before that try to hang out with my friends since one of them has only come back to time for a limited amount of time.

Atheism 2.0 - Atheism using Religions perks.

Imperfectionist said Hmm. Gwazi, I would very much like you to confirm something for me. I am a spiritual person, with a background in Buddhism and Christianity, but no loyalty to any church or temple or sect or institution. I am moral in as many ways as possible, and I believe in life beyond the body, I believe in a consciousness that permeates all things, and I believe in a form of reincarnation that involves not only animals and living things, but planets, stars, galaxies and universes themselves.

I'd ask about the reasoning you had behind such a theory/belief, and if I found it was based largely on faith and/or logical fallacies I would disagree with your way of thinking.

Imperfectionist said Do I cause harm to society, and to the progress of science, because I believe in such things without having gained experimental evidence? Would it be better for the world as a whole if I did not believe in such things? Is your worldview better for my mental health and that of those around me?

I would not however try to claim this, unless if you actively went around trying to convince others of this same thing.

Someone operating on faith, but keeping it to themselves I simply find harmful to that individual.
Someone operating on faith, but then trying to force it on others (Ex: Teach the bible, not science in schools) is harmful to society.
->And yes, trying to raise your children to the same system counts as forcing it on others.

The mental health bit I feel might need some clarification on my part.
I should probably divide this into two categories honestly.

1) Poor Practices
Mainly just the standard "I will stand by faith, not proof or evidence" sort of thinking. Something that although not wise or advisable, and may lead to some harmful or poor decisions in the future. But should not in itself effect one's ability to remain happy or generally healthy.

2) Mentally Unhealthy
This is stuff such as "I am but a sinner who needs to be saved by God". Beliefs and practices that actively make the person feel inferior or lesser compared to another individual or being. It could also just be blind hope or dependence such as "Only God can help me with my Depression". Where what is a rather serious condition is left dependent on something that no only has no proof of actually being able to help but something that can easily be shaken or removed, may it be by exposure to certain bible conflictions, certain scientific arguments, or simply division within the Church where others declare you "Not a true Christian" for things such as say not showing up on sunday enough, not dressing modestly enough, suspicious of your new friend of the opposite sex etc.

So in short, with the information provided I'd say I disagree with your method of finding your conclusion, and would urge you to try to use more evidence and proof to support future beliefs. But if this is not being forced on others, nor is it harmful to your mental health if it simply stays as such, and doesn't expand into some kind of reliance or valuing yourself as something less.

I'm thinking of doing a duo of a Dragon Rider and a Pegasus Knight.

Halo: WE ARE ODST, Part One: Spooks, Ghosts, and the Devil.

Granted on the Loadouts, it does make it pretty unbalanced. But they're at least somewhat comparable and not say Rocker Launchers, Gravity Hammers, Energy Swords, Fuel Rods etc.

The Ordance we were always in agreement, they broke the game and ruined the whole point of map design and mini-wars over a weapon.

And I think we also seem to both agree that story was pretty lackluster.

Halo: WE ARE ODST, Part One: Spooks, Ghosts, and the Devil.

Tenjer while heading to the Drop Pods heard one of the other Ghost Member's Ross ask a question about how the AI went rogue. Once Jace gave his answer Tenjer shrugged and replied "Maybe, it could be rampant or bad AI. Or he could of been hacked...". He thought for a moment and then added "Though, haven't been Spartan AI's had tendencies to go corrupt even? Maybe Loki's just gone old. You'd wonder why ONI wouldn't be more on top of that though". He then pulled out a datapad and brought up the general map readings for the mission "We'll have to be careful though, the AI could be messing with the readings. And even if not, one Jackal sniper or elite with an energy sword could spell the end of an entire squad...". "They should of just made us all Spartans, it'd be far easier that way" he joked with a grin, but then getting serious again almost instantly "Or just train more Marines to be ODSTs than they currently do. Then at least we'd have more skill overall among our forces".
