The following are snippets of the lives of two of my World of Warcraft characters. I'm not on an RP server, but I can't help but come up with some backstory for some characters.
The following reguards my main character, a night elf hunter:
Field Marshal Oslight pushed aside the heavy curtain that seperated the brig from the rest of the building holding the 22nd regiment on Darnassus. "Well, so you're the traitor, are you?"
The deserter, hands bound in chains behind her back, looked up at the human through her bangs before standing up. "If that's what you really want to call it, sure. But it's now how I think of it."
"It's not yours to decide what is and what isn't traitorous behavious, Private Stormdragon."
Danreial winced at the usage of the Alliance term for her newly demoted rank. "Maybe 4 years is a long time for you, but it's not for me. The war with the Legion is still fresh in my mind, and I know they're still out there in-"
Oslight slapped the traitor across the face, though stepped back as the night elf hissed at him. "The Alliance can't be concerned with threats so far off when we have far more immediate threats, which you seem completely in denial of, knocking on our doorsteps!" He paced across the doorway a moment before looking at her, unable to gauge the degree of defiance in her hidden eyes. "I'll let Knight-Captain Stormdragon know that we can't afford to to hold onto a soldier that would refuse to engage in combat with an enemy."
"He was chasing after a boar! He wasn't even wearing any armor!"
"You let him run right past your post, Private, and into territories that you were supposed to be guarding agaist the greenskins and their allies!" He sighed and turned back to the open archway, putting a hand on the heavy curtain. "I just don't see how two sisters could be so different." He stepped out and closed the curtain behind him.
"Well, Darius, I think I've gotten us into another fine mess. But you still shouldn't have hissed at him, he might have seen you." She looked over her shoulder at the small dragon hiding behind her, trying to chew on the chains holding her hands together. "Don't, not yet. I think he's leaving it up to my sister. I don't think she'd have me executed. Flogged and kicked off of Kaladar, maybe, but I should make it out of this alive. I always do, don't I?"
"Raaak!"
"Yeah, I didn't like him either."
This is starring my draenei warrior, who is level 70 but badly undergeared to do anything anyone wants to do anymore.
The small regiment of Draenei were backed into a corner, the blood elves in front of them holding out their weapons, ready to kill them. They knew they could take the elves, but it was that blasted arcane protector behind the pale ones that was the real problem. "Kazi, I think we're at the end of the line."
Kazi nodded to Baatun. "Never give up. Never let them take us alive."
"If you wish to die, then that is how it will-"
"TASTE THE BLADE OF VELUK!" The draenei, blood elves, and even the automaton turned to look down the hallway at the raving lunatic running at them with a greatsword. He jumped up at the Protector and brought the blade down in a mighty swing. The Arcane protector swung back, slamming the draenei into a wall.
"Now, Kazi!" The beleaguered draenei took advantage of the sudden distraction to attack the elves.
Veluk grinned as he got back up to his feet. "Veluk has been waiting for this battle." He raised his sword in front of him and gave a motion for the Arcane Protector to come at him. It did.
Baatun removed the head of his mace from the head of an elf as he heard Veluk's scream. "That idiot will get himself killed taking stupid risks like that! Light help him..."
Veluk struggled against the grip of the automaton, trying to release his second hand so he could properly grip his greatsword. He could feel his ribs cracking under the pressure, but he would never give up. No, he was the great hero of the Draenei! He managed to free his arm, though he thought he might have dislocated his shoulder doing so, and gripped his sword over his head. "This automaton shall be destroyed by Veluk's hand!" He brought the blade down on the machine's elbow with a resounding clang, but it didn't seem to be the slightest bit effective. The machine responded by sending a pulse of arcane energy though Veluk as it threw him against the wall again.
When he came to, he was in a tent under the watch of Baatun. The older Draenei sighed and shook his head. "Veluk, you need to learn some restraint."

I finally put all the parts of the overall Lethumi storyline into order. Looks like I have 17 parts figured out so far, and that's not including the 'prequel' parts. This is already getting long, though at least I've not added anything in my mind in a while. maybe I'll actually be able to get this stuff written out and I'll get all this stuff caught up.

This one is stolen from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) thegreyqueen.
Ask any character I've RPed as a question, and I'll try to answer it in character. Just so people can remember(it's been a while), notable characters include Violet(either Karrde or the Canon Violet I played for a few months near the end of my MUCKing time), Maniko, Zelath, Kage, Link Mirai, Gonfei Thri, Rayne Bowe... Yeah, come up with more, it'll probably come to mind. JUST ASK THE QUESTIONS!

I'm pretty sure this was originally two or three parts. I only got nine parts out of chapter 1 this time, and I'm fairly certain there were orignally twelve parts.

Yeah, I know, the script format is horrible. It gets better when I dump it in chapter three, I swear.

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first however many songs you want that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs & list their name when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.
Note: I'm skipping instrumentals and languages that aren't english, which I have a lot of. In fact, to get these 15 songs, I got up to song number 72 in the list. x.x
1) The moon is shining light...
2) Hold on to me now...
3) Under your spell again I can't say no to you...
4) When I pretend everything is what I want it to be...
5) Hey, I'm your life, I'm the one who takes you there... Metallica, Sad but true
6) I'm so tired of being here... Evanescence, My Immortal
7) Noone will tell you what I've done for you...
8) Come ride with me through the veins of history....
9) She's an extraordinary girl in an ordinary world...
10) I'm dreaming about tomarrow I'm thinking of yesterday...
11) Don't break down/ it's only hap'ning in the stormy night...
12) I can't see your star...
13) This shiny city built of gold.... Avenged Sevenfold, Beast and the Harlot
14) Stay, Wait for me. Build a fortress and shield your beleifs.
15) Well she never was the best at following the trend
A few clues: Five songs have the same artist (my playlist liked them for some reason), and at least one is in Guitar Hero 2(Never played the game. I was surprised to see it on the playlist.)

Remember when I said I'd post my 11 year old fanfics from high school? I finally got it all to work. I found my old ZIP drive and hooked it up to K1, and used that to transfer the files to Gorah Khar, which has an internal ZIP drive and can read USB drives. So here I begin posting Warrior Moon Fanfiction, more or less unedited from its original version, complete with DiC dub names for characters and with several characters inexplicably having English names despite being Japanese. This came from a file that had the first four parts mashed into one long file, so I might have chapter breaks wrong, so if the breaks between parts seem off, I couldn't figure it out.
But now it all begins.
Warrior Moon Fanfiction, Chapter 1: Chaos Reigns
( This is my earliest fictional writing as opposed to comics. You've been warned... )
For the record, I now consider this to be the earliest version of Lethumi. Many of the characters from this I've adapted into the main cast of Lethumi, as well.

Gorah Khar (The computer with both a floppy drive and a CD burner) apparently doesn't have a working floppy drive anymore. And I can't find a USB key to see if K1's old USB ports work with a key or not. Finally, K1's ethernet card appeard to not be working, so I can't even post from there.
So putting out my old fanfics is going to be put on hold until I have the patience to deal with the issues at hand to get it done.

I was thinking in work today during a downtime (today was a slow day) about my old Sailor Moon Fanfictions and how I'm taking my original characters from that and dumping them into Lethumi in my mind lately, and I realized that that crap is ten years old now. As such, I've decided to post online, dear reader, those very fanfictions I wrote in high school. No, really, I wrote them in class. Teachers get upset if you draw in class, but if you are writing, well, they tend not to look too closely at what exactly it is you're writing. I just need to find a floppy disk to transfer the files from K1 to Gorah Khar so I can get them onto a USB key so I can get it to Jorvar here. If I get positive feedback, I may even go ahead and type out the remainder that was never typed out.
Consider yourself warned.

What a wonderful thing to come home to after work. My apartment was broken into. So far it just looks like they took my Gamecube, Wii, and iPod. They left roughly half my games, and thankfully left almost al of my DVDs and the computers. I still have a TV, too, that's kind of surprising.

Okay, the World had almost 5 million users on its release day of Dec 24 2007. How come we almost never see anyone but the main cast? The towns half the time look almost deserted, but there are more players than on all current MMORPGs combined, almost.

I've been under a lot of stress at work lately. It'd gotten to the point where people were telling me I needed a vacation. I had one planned. I was going to take a mon-wed off when I'd had the whole weekend off before and would have had the thursday off follow.
I was told today that we now can only take our vacations in full week blocks. With the vacation time I have left that would mean this and A-USA would kill my vacation time entirely. Since I need more time to finish the Phoenix costume for AZ next year, that means this time that was planned to reduce my stress is now completely dead. Thus, when I needed my stress load reduced, it's instead increased. Even worse, next year I'm now going to kill my vacation time in a period of about a month. I can't imagine how fucked up I'll be two Marches from now when I'd not have had any time off for 10 months.

Went and added tags to the last four years of entries to here. Best one to look though is 'qotd', which are my quotes of the day.
Also, looking back at the amount of times I've complained about sleep issues... right now isn't too bad as far as being short on sleep.

I'm beginning to seriously consider switching to a dual-sleep schedule. Tired of all the early turnins, I'm wondering if I can pull off sleeping two 4-hour shifts. Thus I can sleep when I get home from work for four hours, then turn in again at midnight.
Anyone have any experience trying this? Or hear of anyone attempting it? I want to know how this has worked for others.

Is anyone else heading to A-USA per chance? It's the con the weekend before Thanksgiving in Alexandria, VA. That's just south of DC. I'm heading there with my usual con-going group.
Jason and I are intending to go as ninja versions of Mario and Luigi.
