Fallgone was my first character, and up until recently the one I sunk
the most time into. But a poor choice of powersets that no number of
respecs could repair has turned the higher level grind into a total
fun-suck. This has lead me to put him to rest. Given the time & effort
I've put into him I felt the need to present the following:
--------------
The explosion emanating form Fallgones apartment was nothing new. The residents of the lower floors had long since gotten used to them, and most viewed them as a tolerable side affect of living in the same building as a superhero. Besides, he only carried on the explosive experiments before dark, so no one was rudely awakened. The residents living directly below him only got worried when they had not heard any cursing or moving of furniture an hour later.
When the police arrived they found Fallgone unconscious below a rather large dent in the wall. Across the room was the epicenter of an explosion and several strangely deformed pieces of furniture. All efforts to revive the superhero have met with failure, he remains firmly entrenched in his cationic state. Neither his teammates, nor the GIFT representatives brought in to examine what remained of his notes were able to make sense of the mishmash of physics, biology, and arcane contained within.
Fallgone currently resides in the coma ward of Cyngus Medical Center. All attempts to revive him have elicited no change in his status.-Terry

"How the hell did I do that?"

Alright, so...I'm trying to get myself writing again. Starting an entirely new project probably isn't the best way to do it, but what the hell.
So here's what I got, and I need to know if it's cool. Seriously. You see, I've never written anime fanfic before.
Well...I've written some, but only short pieces with original characters...you know, stories set in a particular anime's world, but not featuring the main cast themselves.
I always worry about portraying canon characters correctly. It's kind of hard for me to write their thoughts and dialogue. I can deal with my own creations, 'cause I made 'em...but...
You get the idea.
But this concept's been clawing at my brain for a while now, and I need to set it free. I also think I've got a good enough grasp of the Naruto cast to make this work.
I'm not sure, though. So what I'm asking is...if you think, like, Naruto's portrayed as totally off-kilter, or Sakura's completely wrong, then please tell me. If you think the tone and feel's not true to the series, then tell me too.
Granted, this story is - or will be - an AU. But I don't consider that an excuse, because...well, if characters ain't recognisable as themselves, what's the point?

Has anyone considered doing a X-over/mega X-over of anime series using the same VA of that series as a main character.
Case in point:
Tomozaku Sugita
Considering, for the last 3 series that has aired and he's the main character (Shuffle!, Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi and Kanon), and being the same character. It's been bouncing in my head since I read "The Blunt Force Trauma of Suzumiya Haruhi".

My oh my, some excellent info in here, including Eochai spawn points.

Now for something a little different...

Lady Nogitsune's Level 50 party! Sadly, Clank Patrol's hidden by all the robots and Attila the Bun ain't even in the picture...
Left to right: Myr'tai, Mace Mac Hine, Lady Nogitsune, Jen Etroica, Obsolete, The Head of Nixon, Clank Patrol (somewhere in there). Heavy metal, dude.

The Crey Dance Company presents...

Superball: The Ballet!

He does disco, too.

The Facets of Yrmaw, over on Triumph. Left to Right: Grace of the Spirit, Tanya of the Snows, Kara of the Thunder, Lia of the Seas, Satomi of the Stars.

Space Mage models the Pocket D VIP Card. Yeah, I love that animation waaaay too much. Sue me.

The Supatroll Parking Lot Appreciation Society holds their annual convention...

They don't appreciate gatecrashers.
Poor Trigram. They group-hugged Dustball, though...

And finally, Strongbow, my latest character on Infinity. Trick Arrow defender.
They kicked him out of Longbow for being drunk on duty. Apparently, peeing on the statue of Atlas is "conduct unbecoming an officer". He tried Wyvern next, but they fired him too...after he "requisitioned" some of Manticore's arrows and sold 'em on eBay. What's a guy to do?
Go freelance, of course.

So.
Halloween event starts tomorrow.
Can we discuss trick-or-treat groups? =)
Seriously...I read the Legendary global channel MoTD - and it says there's a tentative SG trick-or-treat session Sunday on Infinity (edited after Foxboy's comment)
At least, I think that's what it said. I'll edit this post if I got it wrong.
Buuut...well, that's no good for me. The time's not right, and the characters I really want the reward (ie, extra costume slot) for are over on Virtue. Soooo...anyone game for that?
So...if folks are doing Infinity on Saturday...then...
Virtue server, Friday evening, maybe? The earlier the better, for me, but I'll still be good if we start around 6-7pm Eastern. I'm thinking heroside, but red is fine too.
I've got Syndesis (50), Superball (38 ) , and Space Mage (26) heroside, plus Obsolete (29) and Coordinator (20) for the villains.
Mind, 's not a hugely pressing issue, since I figure it's gonna be easy to find pick-up-groups for this, and the event'll be running for a while anyway...but it'd still be cool to get together.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

The bottom and middle trays hold my Human form attacks and shields and these 3 macros. The Human macro turns on Gravity Shield automatically when switching to it.
/macro human "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$powexec_name Gravity Shield$$goto_tray_alt2 3"
(Tray 3 has miscellaneous human powers, temps and Shadow Recall)
/macro nova "powexec_name Dark Nova$$goto_tray_alt2 4"
(Tray 4 has your Nova powers)
/macro dwarf "powexec_name Black Dwarf$$goto_tray_alt2 5"
(Tray 5 has your Dwarf powers)
So when you press Nova, you shift forms and Nova powers appear in the top tray. Same with Dwarf. Press Human to go back to normal with human powers in the top tray.
I'm still trying to figure out how to add Shadow Cloak into the Human macro. Both GS and Cloak won't activate at the same time in that macro.
