@AstralHunter Why thank you. And yes, I am usually more... Openly mad in my writing than real life.
Wait, no, What I said about Twinkiel was more like in general. I didn't expect Gabriel to be truly friendly to anyone except Fleur and Xerneas, actually. I just want to make sure than none of the Humons become suspicious of Twinkiel for an extended period of time,mostly because he's supposed to constantly make you forget that he's insane. That and the "I can get used to it" factor.

Also, I like the first theme for the enemy Humons, it's really dramatic :D

@AstralHunter, in Charizard's post, he stated that a Chestnaught was the referee. I made that post based off of that deciscion.

I sometimes copy your posts and paste it in Word so I can read it offline. This is what Char's post said. I don't know why he changed it, but I began writing my post before he changed it.

Speaking of which, why'd you change it, @Charizard821?! Now there's a discrepancy.

@Tortwag: Woot! Me loves popcorns. *chomps with an open mouth* :P. And I agree with you about the counter-productive part. Sometimes I run into bad stuff, and it still convinces me to look further, and, often, I find a lot of good parts to whatever I'm doing. :D. YT is fun, and I do enjoy it, and I think I'm going to start looking at it more often. Thanks!

The way you use those terms makes me sound weak, by the way. :P. I'm learning to get over my empathy routine more often, because I look at myself and decide "Why do I want to change my opinions because I made someone else sad? I stood up for myself and my beliefs, and I won't let anyone take that away from me." Besides, I'm a lot less sensitive than I used to be. And I'm a sadistic drama queen. :P. I created a fake self-inflated ego for the sole purpose of annoying family members and watching them try to repulse me. Is that sadistic or what? XD I also like having a wide variety of characters in stories that I work on, and I therefore like your creative ideas, as they add a variety to the work as a whole, and add touches that surprise me and leave me wanting more. Though I still think that, if all of the characters were to meet, Aegeas and Twinkiel would have the most conflicts with one another. :P.

@AstralHunter: Okay, that makes sense, with the NO/Resistance bases not being able to be attacked. Don't worry - it's not going to bother my plans or anything of the sort. Hoopa will probably appear in a bunch of other places, which is why I did not have him engage in any way against Frostpoint's Resistance Base. I look forward to seeing what you all plan with him.

I agree with you about the "Guardian of Life." The guy gives me a lot of chills. Like Gollum, almost. :P. I want to know what this "Guardian" looks like and what his plans are, as it seems he might be an enemy against everyone and everything. I also agree with you about Robusto's post on the character's backstories. Therefore, I spent part of the previous night coming up with a backstory for Aegeas. Ironically, it seems to be quite similar to that of Odysseus....wow, I just realized by how much. O_O.

Yeah, that's about it. I'll be off for a few hours, so if you don't see me, I'm either watching TV or the Super (*wink* :P ) Bowl.
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse

senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

@TheSilverFox who doesn't? :D
Glad I managed to make my point :) it's always nice to watch a video from time to time anywho. You're welcome!
Does it now? I've watched and read enough stuff to know that empathy can actually be a REALLY strong and useful tool. As for sensitivity... For me, it helps bein' balanced. It becomes a weakness if it's too much or not enough in some situations.
That... Also seems to be sadistic, yes. But then again I scare people with dramatic gimmicks just for the sake of watching their reactions, so I'm not one to judge. Probably my most common feat.
Thank you so much for your inspiring quotes, Joker and Mask :D
Why thank you! Doin' my best for that. The variety part. I usually work with a lot of characters too, but you'll always, ALWAYS have that ONE semi-psycho lurking around. Usually a main character (like my dear Dyrow in another of my stories, or Evoltrick in another SB), or a recurring villain.
Hahah, not quite XD Aegeas wouldn't like Twinkiel very much, but Twinkiel wouldn't care much about it :p He'd start verbal jousts with him just for the fun of it. I think my Flaaffy will see him as some kind of Red type of guy. Or Frog from Chrono Trigger.
...holy... Oh wow. Aegeas IS very similar to Frog, actually O.o

Eum... if someone else wants to post, then go ahead. I'm sort of busy. (Hopefully I can get something up tomorrow. I'm over halfway through the stuff I wanted to cover.)

WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GONE?! Let me list the events that shocked me:
-Hunter's post
-Realizing I never told you guys about the ref change
-The Frostpoint arena - which I had originally intended to be modelled after a Roman colosseum - being IN the snow fort?
-The depressing backstories
-The Seahawks gave up a gift from the heavens with a stupid passing play. *Facepalm

Now to discuss them

1. Guys, let me say one teensy, tiny, little thing... I HAVE NOT READ HUNTER'S POST!!! And by the sounds of it, I don't think I want to. Pedophilia? Hunter, what have you done... To Pokemon of all things... If I read this post and don't like it, you can expect a pretty interesting PM from me.

2. The ref change: OH MY GOSH, I just realized that was in a PM! @AstralHunter, I changed it because the boss (@Robusto) wanted an Arthur cameo. I pitched the idea and he loved it, so the change was made. Sorry.

3. Okay.... What? If I remember correctly, I had first description of the arena. I had modelled it after a Roman colosseum. Once again, HOW CAN THAT FIT IN A SNOW FORT?! Really, Hunter, couldn't you have been a bit more clear there?

4. No. No, no, no. I disagree 100%. Depressing backstories flying around like cookies at an all-you-can-eat buffet? No, sir. The last thing this story needs to be is a mass collection of sadness. One or two sad backstories would be fine. And by the sounds of Hunter's post, one counts for three. @Robusto, if you made this move, why didn't you ask us first? I mean, I know you're the boss but our character's backstories, I imagined, would have belonged to us. Either way, I am completely against this idea. This story isn't a pity-party, it's an adventure.

5. COME ON SEAHAWKS, IT WAS RIGHT THERE AND YOU BLEW IT!!!

Thanks for listening to my two minutes of disapproval there. To be honest with you guys, I'm kind of mad right now.

Quick update: I read Hunter's post. I'm not quite sure what to say. It was built with the mastery of a usual Hunter post, but still... I had imagined that part as much worse, but you did a good job not taking it too far, @AstralHunter. Also, since it happened when Gabriel was human, my image of Pokemon wasn't even tainted. It simply reminded me of how awful humans can be. It reaffirmed my goal to be the best person possible in life, and live to make myself and others happy. I guess what I'm saying is I'm sorry I ever doubted you. It was touching to read that, but in a less than pleasant way. It just reminded me to be a good person, and I think it did for all of us. Thank you, Hunter. I'd propose a toast if I had toast with me right now. (Because what kind of toast is it without toast? XD) Anyways, to Hunter, a great writer and friend. And to the rest of you for being awesome.

(That being said, I still stand on all my other points. XD But, hey! I'm not mad anymore!)

They don't have to be over the top depressing backstories. Everyone suffers sadness at some point in their life, wheter it's something big or small. That's what the GOL was talking about. He'd forgotten how much sadness human lives experience, and even the tiniest thing upset him.

I disagree. I'm the happiest person ever. Nothing bad has ever happened to me. I think it's rather stereotypical to assume that all human lives are bathed in sadness.

Exam period has begun. Just back from School. One exam down.
...About 6 to go.

@Charizard821 His post is actually great. That part is just disturbing. As for the sad backstories part, to be fair, Rbousto said that-
*page is refreshed*
...Oh! Alright then.
Not bathed in sadness, but c'mon, every single human being in this world had like ONE sad event in his life, especially by the time he/she reaches 15 or 17. Doesn't mean that you're bathed in sadness, imo. I get racist comments every months or so because I'm black, or get stereotype phrases thrown at me because I speak English and people forget that I'm actually French. Am I sad? No. It just hardened me a lot, but hey, that's actually a good thing! And I'm actually a really happy person!

@15253 ARGH!!! It was Xatu, I should've known! I loved imagining Ren jst running and jumping his way in and out of the forest. That post was fun to read.
