PMD: Seventeen Plates DT

@Charizard821 That first point reminds me of me not being here if both my parents hadn't survived their wars.
...Or me not surviving that lung problem a long time ago, but that's another story.
Point is, members of your family having to do stuff to survive, and if they hadn't done you wouldn't be there, or things would be different... I always find those small things really interesting. It's just the complexity of life.

That second fact of yours is BY FAR one of the best bloodline facts I've ever heard in a while. Reminds me a lot of what my (and lots of other Portugese ones for that matter) last name imply, and that is "noble" blood (ALTHOUGH I HATE THIS POSSIBILITY PERSONALLY BECAUSE IT JUST BRINGS MORE JUDGEMENT AND CATEGORIES, GAAAAH), or some form of royalty.
I don't really mind revealing mine though because it's so common: de Almeida.

But wow. What a great subject! Le'ts do that more often!

....ya failed me char....ya faild me.....v.v

who is posting next?? 15253 should post next

I'll try and take the next post. I'll cover the end of the battle of Greatwood Jungle, the ensuing celebration, and the fate of Zapdos.

Char... could it be that you, Hunter, and I are all Cancers?

Anyways, it seems I have not yet posted a theme. I was thinking of making a bad joke and putting in something from Frozen, but I'm not that mean.

Here's the URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XT7dycNtU8

And two things about my bloodline...

1. Quilters galore.
2. My mom immigrated from Taiwan and I love her and she's incredible because WOW, she moved to a foreign country as an adult and got a PhD and has dealt with so much... She's just amazing.

Hurrah!

As for the picture, I have started on studies of the characters, and am still open to ideas on interaction and posing.

@Robusto I need to post before you then. I haven't finished Twinkiel's night yet, and that's really the only thing I have left to do. Lemme do that before you as soon as I can. Tell me if you really can't wait though.

@Buggiedude2340 Immigrant Moms for the win.
The only suggestion I'd like to have personally is having Twinkiel portrayed as a Flaaffy instead of a Mareep, especially considering how much his personality have growned since his evolution. As for all the other characters, I guess you might want to place them according to their affinities with each other (or lack of said affinities, for that matter). Like showing off Riley and Gabriel's rivalry with Flurry sighing between them, or Frost smiling shyly despite the impressive-looking display of fire behind him...
Oh and having Bloodmoon behind everyone else in a super duper amazing pose, like arms-stretched, hands pulsing with power and a devious, badass grin on his face!
...So many possibilities I hope I'm helping here XD
But if you really wish to portray every Humon as they were when they started, then I'd suggest having my Mareep unleash his electricity with a confident grin, tail above his head. Possibly with a confused Zulu next to him, but that's for @Robusto to decide.

Also, I think we can all agree that Zulu should be placed at the center. Or hey, maybe the later our Humons appeared, the farther away they are from Zulu's central position? Anyone havin' thoughts on that?

Don't worry @Tortwag, I can wait.

The Frostpoint group really needs to get that plate. Someone from their group shud post.

Also, its almost time for another NO encounter (like the darkrai thing a while back.)

@Robusto 'Kay then. Thanks a ton.

@15253, another NO encounter? Wanna try your luck against me? >:3

@15253: You want an NO encounter, eh? Well, it just so happens that a future part I'm planning to write incorporates one of those encounters. Therefore, you get your wish. It's going to take awhile before I get there, of course, but it certainly will be soon.

@Charizard821: Wow, what a story. O_O. I didn't know you had such an amazing family history. So it is possible that you could be related to German royalty? Cool! It's fascinating, this connection between your mother's maiden name and a similar name found within Germanic culture. As it turns out, from a portion of my family, I can claim German descent. Actually, make that two portions of my family. One of them is directly German, and I'm informed the other can be traced to an ancient West Germanic king. I'm talking about 0-200 AD ancient, just so you know, so it isn't as cool as what you're talking about. Those are some cool facts you have, and it's neat to see we have something in common! .

@Tortwag: Yep, it's interesting to think about. If certain events in my family history didn't happen, and if they didn't do certain actions, I wouldn't be here at all. Life is so incredible, the way that there are millions of options that can be taken at any particular time, and the one selected could produce highly influential effects in the future. Gosh, now I'm starting to go crazy thinking about it. XD Nice family name, by the way. Mine is often confused with a much more commonly used name that is almost identical, save a letter. I've actually had some issues concerning that (like when I went beyond kindergarten, but that's a debacle for another day). I won't tell the name, because I'm super picky, but it certainly has distinct origins I need to study more on. After all, I've enjoyed history for a long time, and it's great to be able to piece together my family history, and even better to look at all these amazing people and know that I share their DNA.

@Buggiedude2340: Cool! . I'm almost sorry to say that neither of my parents are immigrants, and I'm a few generation American through and through. Taiwan? Wow, that's awesome! A PhD? Good gosh, your mom sounds amazing. O_O. But if there's one thing we have in common, we both love our moms dearly.

As for the interaction and posing of my character, I have some pretty basic ideas. If we go along with Tortwag's idea of placing Zulu at the front and organizing characters by their appearance date, Aegeas would probably be at the back, which is of no problem to me. Actually, I'd kind of like it if he were more of the silent observer type, watching the actions of everyone else without participating much. His arms would likely be crossed, and he'd have a small smile, and likely be observing some humorous scene. Of course, this is just me thinking about what I'd like my character to look like. You can decide entirely on what kind of organization scheme you want, and whether or not you want to represent Aegeas as a Dewott or an Oshawott. It's fine to me either way - I was just presenting some ideas.

Well, that's about it. See you around!

heyyyy, I love the posts guyz but we really need to wait for the others. Astral and Char and Buggie gotta at least go to the Alchemist place before we go anywhere okay? I'm sorry if I sound pushy but coordination is a really important part of an SB and we have to give everyone a chance to stay on the same page.

Thanks a bunch guys!

@15253 <--- The voice of reason.
Which is good for me anyways because I'm stuck in that Game Design trial of mine, which means I can't quite write yet.
@TheSilverFox Thanks. There are MANY de Almeida family names in Portuguese-speakin' countries though, it's basically an equivalent to Johnson. And it's fine if you don't reveal yours, I AM planning on finding your IP adress and take control of your computer after all
Jokes aside
@Robusto now that post was the prequel to a creepy changing for the Guardian. Dude does not understand the basic concept of balance. Death is just as important as Life in the world. Mew or any legendary for that matter should explain him that.

@Tortwag: As it happens, I'm going through lessons in the same class (Game Design). I wonder if that means we're in the same school..... Yeah, that's unlikely - I'm sure whatever curriculum is in my school is probably common in a lot of other places, including that class. Still, I'm hopeful.... Then again, wouldn't that make it easier for you to find my IP address and hack into my computer? Then again, wouldn't that make it easier for me to do revenge? Oh, nothing, just my random thoughts. Ignore this comment, because it's a secret to everybody.

@15253: Yeah, I'll comply. . I'm a bit busy, and I've got to figure out how I'm going to organize my future parts. Part of the reason I've been posting a lot is to try and keep up with everybody so that my parts will coincide with the Resistance meeting. Of course, now I realize that if I keep this pace, I'll have to wait a long time before I can continue with my character's story. This is not to offend anyone - I'm just a fast writer and I'd probably end up writing the last parts by the end of the week if I didn't get this piece of advice. O_O Thanks!

I'll post my next Zulu post once @Tortwag finishes up what he's doing.
