Not a problem, @Verser; I'm quite content with my brown name. Besides, I'm told that I can switch it to any color of my choice (with a few exceptions, obviously; I can't switch to any color used by an admin/mod/etc.). Therefore, don't expect this to remain brown for long.

And I guess you can say that I'm a special member; I managed to do 52 reviews in the space of the month of September, so this a neat reward. Oh, and I have 4 new badges to boot. XD

oooh make it.....uuuhhh.....silver! \o3o/

Hmmm....that....that would actually be really cool. o-o Let me go do that right now.

EDIT: Ah, it seems that the brown is only a temporary, placeholder color, and there'll be a different (and not so...dull. ) color by tomorrow, which is still cool.

A while back, someone had asked about what characters had been introduced so far. So here is a list of all the important NPCs I've created so far.

Alek: Currently a Greninja, was inducted into the New Order’s Apprentice Program after his village suffered a fire, leaving him and several others homeless.

Vince: A Kecleon, he was one of the victims of the fire that destroyed Alek’s village. He’s since given up his career as a stealth specialist to become a tactician.

Felicity: Currently a Delphox, she was abandoned by her parents when she was younger. Due to both her parents possessing the Blaze ability, she contracted a rare condition called Blaze Rage, in which her power becomes uncontrollable during Full moons. It’s still unknown if her evolution helped stabilize that condition.

Arthur: An apprentice recruited by regular means, he’s incredibly loyal to his friends and his cause. His support in the New Order is only the result of his belief they’re the righteous side.

Sully: A Seviper, her parents were killed by the Slaver Darius the Cacturne. She’s incredibly hostile, though has recently found a friend in Alek. She’s of the Venom Knife tribe.

Darius: A Cacturne slaver, he’s in his early forties but still very good at what he does. His journals speak of someone he loved once, and that that love supposedly fell through.

Keela: A voracious Mawile, she has no qualms about eating others. She’s very flirtatious, and sometimes uses that to draw in prey.

Teemo and Cornelius Dudley III: Just a pair of hapless goons.

Tempest: A shiny Grovyle, he’s pretty withdrawn from others, preferring to be by himself. His father is a certain Grovyle/Sceptile hero…

The Hero of Time: This Grovyle hero journeyed through time to save it. Travelling with his fairy partner, this woodland native delved into dungeons and made to recover several items that when gathered, possessed the power to save the world. Also, he fought with a sword. (Leaf Blade) Wait, this all sounds very familiar…

Abby: A street-smart Murkrow, her purpose has not yet been revealed. She was first seen in Cutthroat Pass, where she used Attract on Alek to steal from him.

And she wants the Plate to calm down Zapdos AND fget her evolutionary stone. Didn't forget about Abby - I think we can make her appear when the Last Exile opens, AKA after the training sessions.

And speaking of Posting, I need to catch up with those...

Everyone, be sure to wish @Verser and @15253 a happy birthday.

Caught up with Posts.

...Wait. WHAT?! It's today?! I had no idea! @Verser @15253 Happy birthday to you both! Darn, I have nothing to offer except good wishes. Sorry :/

I myself didn't see until just a glance at the birthday section revealed it. I knew they were brothers, but their birthday being on the same day must mean they're twins.

That's right rob . Thanks so much guys!

And I realize I forgot to include the Keela and Tempest post with my last one, so I'll smoosh those two into the Zulu one, creating a mutant post. Who knows what it's capable of.

Hmm...it seems now that the only person among us who has not celebrated/announced their birthday on YWS is....me. >.>

hoo boy, wait until they find out...<.<

Actually, I haven't either.

Also, your post was awesome. Though kinda short, compared to your usual length - not that I mind.

Verser and 15253, happy birthday! Are you two twins?

@Tortwag: Forget about the Iris Champion theme. That's all yours. I've found something much better for my purposes.

@TheSilverFox: Congratulations on your shiny new name color.

@Verser or @15253 (whoever wanted to see it): If you'd like to review the initial post of Orphan, you may. And anyone else interested may as well. The basic premise of it is this.
An extremely hostile alien species known as the Shrall (Look like humans except they're bigger, their skin looks like jagged obsidian, and they're biological systems allow them to only absorb nutrients from meat and water, resulting in a very carnivorous culture) finally unite after centuries of civil conflict prevented them from actually accomplishing anything. Their first target is a base on the moon of Oculus V, where my characters Corvax and Piddry are unlucky enough to be imprisoned. Fortunately, the Shrall attack allows them to escape. But the Shrall, more organized than anyone could have expected, begin to take planet after planet, people everywhere witnessing the atrocities at their hand. (People Everywhere = Your characters). With all forces pulled back to protect the capital planet, it seems no one can spare the resources to try and take back some of the other planets. It's then decided a small strike team is needed to break through Shrall lines and take out their commanders.
Just like PMD 17 plates, the initial premise is pretty basic with a primary goal given early on, but those who know me know that there's going to be LOTS of plot twists that will surely leave you rocking on the floor in a fetal position. Also, expect more Psyche battles.

Everyone: So, after everyone obtains their intended plates, since the group will have no more leads to go off of, I was thinking of having the group directed to the village Tempest lives in, where they meet Dusknoir, who will serve sort of as an informant for the rest of the Storybook, offering information and other assistance in finding the remaining plates.

Happy birthday, @15253 and @Verser! I shall post your birthday picture here as soon as I find one that works. *has an idea*
