Nations and States: New Era

[Peanut]

Btw, while I'm looking at people's profiles here, Peanut remind me again what "Lotan" is and clarify that you are not talking about your character holding a lotus leaf while meditating in a diaper or something. Was it the ninja monkies' secret organization or something?

*Writes a note to himself to remind him to talk to Kali and Pascal about if he can include the Invisible Hand in this thing right from the very beginning...oh wait, this takes care of that write now...*

No, Lotan is not the secret Ninja Monkey orginization, nor is he a lotus leaf. Lotan is a Leviathan (you know...those big serpanty creatures the mentioned in Job) or was a Leviathan. In the original Of Nations he was sealed in a spear that was later used to give Peanut his powers over water. In the new Of Nations he isn't sealed in anything, he is simply existing in a ghostly state, but like in the Old Of Nations if he is to enter into or posses a human/Ninja Monkey/living thing with a nervous system, he can give them control (as in control over the movement of an states) over water within a certain radius around the person's body (obviously anyone who has Lotan within them won't be able to control any water that is miles away from them or on the other side of the world...). So there you go, that's Lotan in a nutshell for ya...

Ah I got it now, Peanut. You mean to tell me Job invented leviathan before Final Fantasy? XD Heh. Darn.

The "compassionate empire?" Sounds like a former 1960's hippy cult movement.

I don't have a problem with letting people have stronger-than-average characters - after all, these are going to be the prime movers of the world. I'm just saying that I think it's more dramatic if we grow in strength as we go along. You know, the whole Rocky dynamic.


Anyway, my primary wanderer:

Name: Zadok
Primary/Secondary: Primary
Race: Aikon
Apparent Age: 40-50ish in human terms
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Pale and amorphous as his race, tall, with a slender yet muscular build. He wears a dark robe with sandals. He carries a staff.
History: Origin unknown, Zadok is a wanderer who knows more than he lets on. Skilled in the use of his staff, he travels from tribe to tribe, seldom staying long in one place. His reasons for coming and leaving are mysterious, and it is whispered that he may be searching for something...
Talents/Special Powers: Unknown

[Dante]

Everyone, join me in voting this page as the most excellent page ever!!! VIVA DE REVOLUTION!!!

[USSRGirl]

O____- Meh...

*Does my part by throwing more cheap confetti in the air*

Btw, Xaxtrom is now rivaling Genki as leading bishie of the RPG. He's starry, depressed over the past in a really kawaii emo way (*ducks in cover before JM tries to nuke me for calling his character emo* Bwahahaha), and awesomely creepy glowing eyes. o_____o

*cough cough* Just reminded you all that Kal promised to make all bishies in this RPG my personal slaves if I joined... oh wait... that gives me an idea.... *runs off to PM Pascal and Kal*

[~darkelfgirl~]

Since I can't edit the previous profile for some reason, here's Mirzen's new profile...oh, I knocked 7 years off his original age, and there's some changes to his history ^^'

Name: Mirzen Shadowtail
Primary/Secondary: Primary
Race: Human-nekojin hybrid
Apparent age: 20
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Pic Soon

History: Born when a star fell, he was considered a very special child because of his silver-colored blood. At a young age he excelled in the aerodynamic fighting arts of the nekojin. In an insurrection led by Mirzen's uncle, Phaes (commander of the Sharakari militia) brutally assassinated his father but failed in his attempt to murder Mirzen. Mirzen and his father's loyalists were sent into exile in the desert by Phaes, who came to the conclusion that Mirzen was not a threat. In the desert, Mirzen wandered away on his own in sorrow, wanting to die--he almost committed suicide but was stopped by a mysterious hermit. This hermit trained him for 3 years in the shadow arts, but filled with new rash vengeance, Mirzen left him and returned to his loyalists. He raised an elite legion and returned to Sharakar, crushing the rebel forces and defeating horrified Phaes (this civil war ended in 3 days). Mirzen is known to be very reckless and rash, loves to prove his strength and power, and he is very impatient and sometimes has sudden fits of rage.

Special Abilities: Shadow arts; however, this power is can be very harmful to him due to his neko heritage and the amount of energy it requires.

Don't worry, JM won't hurt you...that isn't his character...it's Taliesin's...

[Kaligraphic]

Actually, Temmy, I did not. You have to catch them yourself, like pokemon.

[Dante]

LOL, I CHOOSE YOU GENKI!!! (Genki pops out of the air-tight ball dead as a door nail) err... maybe I should've given you a little more air to breath...

[Jingo Jaden]

Pokemon are so powerful, but I can understand breaking out from a plastic ball can be hard at times.

[Taliesin]

My chara is a bishie

[~darkelfgirl~]

Here he is (hey, he looks weird, but at least I tried)--

[USSRGirl]

o`___O Oookay. For some reason I cannot edit my post. Meh... anyway, changing the character's name to Komai Jikari seeing as I have waaay too many RPG characters with hugely long names that always get shortened. Also adding hyper sensitive hearing to her skill list, seeing as reptiles tend to have extremely sensitive ears and so do cats. That's all the skills I'll add though. Oh and here tis my picy (sorry... I tried drawing her with a full lizard look and it was ugly. Now she just looks like a diseased neko... O.o;;)

[USSRGirl]

Oh that was Talie's chara? X__x Sorry didn't see that before.

Oh well, as an employee of the Temuoplis propaganda department Talie is required to surrender all bishies to me. Bwahahahaha!!! Master ball go!

*Bonks Xaxtrom on the head with a pokeball*

Oooh nice pic Darkelf. O___O More bishies for me to glomp.

[Taliesin]

I kinda rebelled against you.... and am now working for your arch enemy as his second in command, besides which, his name is Xaxtorm not Xaxtrom. sooooo, yeah...

Jaden Mental- Poke'mon

Pokemon are so powerful, but I can understand breaking out from a plastic ball can be hard at times.

I think only the toys are plastic JM, if the real balls in the anime were plastic, they'd likely snap into a million pieces when hurled like a baseball by Ash into the ground, rock or whereever he launches them... they have to be fairly sturdy creations and be made to take quite the impact and not damage the components inside .

ALL-character design

Those are some pretty sweet character drawings there Temulin & darkelfgirl. Seeing as how we have so many, perhaps JM could run a N&S 2.0 character drawing contest at when the RP starts (you could mod or change the drawing until the contest was complete roughly 1-1&1/2 months into the RPs inception, I wouldn't enter because... well... I came up with the idea and it wouldn't be quite fair for me to enter given that I came up with the idea, but I might create more drawings none-the-less just for fun) Or maybe I'll judge the contest if he doesn't care to, anyways, it's up to you guys!

-Pascal

[Jingo Jaden]

Of coures I could mod yet another contest, though I think it would have to be a goof off contest seeing that is comes from an rpg

Woah, two fine new designs, darkelf, you never told me that you could draw really well O.O, high quality in your works as normal Temmy

[USSRGirl]

That'd be fun (the contest idea). And if JM agrees to judge... hm... bwahahaha! *Plotting to bribe JM into sketching a pic of me glomping Tal's character as revenge for his betrayl*

Oh right, I forget you deserted after that little defaming you with fake evidence in court thing. >.>;;

[~darkelfgirl~]

Thanks guys ^^'.

JM: Well, you never asked! XP

Temmy, I like the Komai pic! Nothing a little lotion can't handle j/k

Oh yeah, so many bishies to beat up! Mirzen will be especially glad to beat up Xaxstrom. He's a threat to Mirzen's bishieness ^^

[Taliesin]

Can anyone spell Xaxtorm's name right! *grumblemumble*

[~darkelfgirl~]

*rolls eyes* It was just a mistake, chill XD. His name's complicated and I was too lazy to copy and paste. You sure like to poke me, Taliesin.

For your sake I'll practice:
Xaxtorm Xaxtorm
Xaxtorm Xaxtorm
Xaxtorm Xaxtorm
Xaxtorm Xaxtorm
Xaxtorm
Xaxtorm
Xaxtorm
Xaxtorm

Ok, I think I got it.

[USSRGirl]

You know it's one of those weird physchological things where you naturally read the name Xaxstrom or Xaxtrom for some strange reason.

Can I just call him Xax? Or Cupcake? O.O

[Taliesin]

No. you cannot call him cupcake.
I guess you can call his Xax

[Althaia]

i hope this start soon oh yeah jadenmental we have things to discuss

[USSRGirl]

-_____-;; Fine Tal. Just fine. Crush my feelings under your boot till they squirt out cheap sodium benzoate ridden cream filling. And to think you once worked for me. Et tu, Brutus?

[Taliesin]

I had fun working for you....but I got bored. JM was more interesting than you. Besides I am second in command of JM's forces and under you I was just a propaganda minister.

[~darkelfgirl~]

He told you, Temmy! tsk tsk. Anyone under Temmy does her dirty work, hehe *cough trig homework cough*. Yep, it was boring (no, no, not that you're boring Temmy XD).

[Taliesin]

When are we gonna get this show on the road?

[Dante]

I'll talk to Kali ASAP about getting the RP up and running, we were going to wait and see if Zarn showed up, but I'm ready to go currently if he's ready .
