Cool, abox. I'mma set it on fire, k?

How do you identify in terms of sexuality?

Jiro, anyone you've taken an interest in?

Empress, do you need changed?

Toma, which of your girls is your favorite?

*Singed and smoking* Hmm, I don't really identify as anything really. I have preferences but they tend to fluctuate kinda weirdly. So I don't bother putting myself in a catergory.

Jiro: I'm... not commited to anyone at the moment. But there is a certain yellow fox madien I have a crush on.

Empress: Silence! How dare you ask me that!? I... Yes... Yes I do.

Toma: ...are you trying to get me killed?

Seeing as I'm drawing a blank, could you tell me about your other characters? They seem nifty!

Barring that, how excited are you for the new Kung Fu Panda movie? And would you recommend the TV series?

Have you been keeping up with the current Rider and Ranger shows (Drive and Ninninger)? Have you heard about the next Rider series, Kamen Rider Ghost?

Do you keep up with the Transformers comics, or any books for that matter?

Here are my main characters first

Toma: I'm Toma, a tanuki. I'm kind of the middle child of the Tsukuhara clan. Osei was born into it, being the Master's grandaughter, and Jiro joined before me. Taka came a few years after I did. When I was little, I think 3 or 4, I was abandoned by my birth parents in a forest so they'd have enough food to survive a harsh winter. I almost died but Master Hakubei found and adopted me. As I was growing up and training, my anger at being abandoned drove me to be pretty vicious. It still hurts deep inside but I can handle it better now. I'm most skilled with a sword and I carry a katana and dagger with me. The dagger is for my off-hand when fighting several enemies or as a back up if I get disarmed. But one-on-one is where I'm best suited and most of my best moves are for duels and assassinations.

Osei: To start, I'm a vixen. When on a mission I'm the infiltration expert. I can pick locks and climb walls but my expertise is disguise. I wear elaborate dresses to conceal the collection of weapons I have on my while in the field. My favorites are my dual tonfa, which I use for both offense and defense. I also have two bandoleers of throwing knives under my kimono and a hidden sword in my parasol.

Taka: I am a hawk, please don't ask about my name. I was once the daughter of a the leader of a ninja villiage, but we were betrayed by our employer and wiped out. The patron of the Tsukuhara clan discovered me and saved my life. I was adopted into the clan and passed on my villiage's secrets and techniques. My specialty is surveillance and espionage. I can fly at high speeds to get in and out of places quietly and I have a near-photographic memory. When I have to fight, I use a chain with a blade on one end and a weight on the other.

Jiro: Greetings, I'm Jiro Tsukuhara, a bear. I'm a former sohei (warrior-monk), but I left my temple when I realized I could do more outside of it then behind it's walls. I was trained in medicine and bone-setting so I act as the team medic while on a mission and I have a small clinic in our home villiage. At the temple I was trained in the use of the naginata and it's still my weapon of choice. However, I'm just as potent unarmed thanks to a combination of ju-jitsu and sumo techniques.

Hakubei: I am the current head of the Tsukuhara clan and Osei's grandfather. As the head of our clan I act as an advisor to the Empress and I train members of my clan in our ways so they may pass it on to others. Even though I'm getting on in years I still keep my skills sharp, sparing against my top students. Sometimes all at once. They get the better of my more than I'd care to admit, but I've never once made it easy for them.

=============

Velvet: Hi. I'm Velvet Verse. I'm an earth pony and a former member of Equestria's EUP Royal Night Guard. It was never really my choice to join the guard however, but I didn't have a lot of choice at the time (long story there). But while I was serving, I found the time to follow my true passion, writing. During my lunch breaks and leave I managed to write two novels and publish them under a pen-name. When my second one was about to come out I officially resigned from the guard and moved to Ponyville to continue writing. I currently have a job writting short stories for the Ponyville Express, which in addition to the royalties from my novels, let me live pretty comfortably while I work on more.

And now for the rest.

I'm really excited for it. But I'm tempered too, waiting to see more. I'm definitely going to see it though. As for the TV series, yeah I'd recommend it. It had a few duds but what series hasn't and I think the good episodes outshine the bad ones. Kung Fu Daycare, Tigress Tale, Serpent's Tooth, Chain Reaction and Scorpion's Sting are some of my personal favorites.

Sadly I've fallen pretty far behind toku stuff. I never really gave ToQGer a fair shake I admit. And while I did finish Gaim, after that I haven't seen anything from either Drive or Nininger. I haven't heard about Ghost either.

Not really. I don't have a local comic shop and I don't get out to the neared bookstore often enough to really 'keep up' with comics. And the most I have in regards to Transformers is some DVDs of the original series.
