A Proper Farewell
Posted 15 years ago9 Months... That's how long it's been since my last journal. I also almost spit water all over my monitor when I saw that I had 267 messages. But I digress.
I am here to properly say goodbye to PCA. My disappearance was due to wavering interests and a feeling of not belonging. I felt like a 5th wheel, so to speak. I'm a writer, not an artist. I could tell from the minute I joined that this place wasn't the best for me. What caused me to stay?
Perhaps it was the community. The people who would talk in the IRC and such. Despite the fact I mostly lurked in the IRC, I felt like I was getting to know everyone better. Their antics and conversations were interesting and I felt like I wanted to know them all better. But, unfortunately, I was incredibly shy. Since my leave, I have changed. I am more outgoing, I ask more questions, and am a more talkative person. But I still know for sure that some one will see this message and remember "Chief Rampancy, that guy who lurked in the IRC. Friendly guy, but shy so I didn't know him all too well."
I have moved on. My writing has improved nearly tenfold. Along with the cast of characters. The universe is ever-expanding, and I lost sleep a couple weeks ago because I was thinking so much about my writing. I take my writing and related series (since it's a crossover) very seriously. My friend doubts me when I say I have research to do now.
I suppose this is also the time that I spill the beans on my characters, eh? Like where the inspiration for each of them came from.
Zach Cirur is based on Ezwa 'Ciruree, a character from my writing. He was a mere side-character before, but has escalated to a major main character. He was recently married. But we'll get back to that.
John Remmus (which if you haven't noticed is simply "summer" backwards) is based loosely on John Avalon, a friend of Ezwa. He was also a side character who became a major character. His history is too complex to get into right now. Sorry.
Mira Lagirdam (which is "Madrigal" backwards (as you can tell, my naming creativeness wasn't at it's best.)) was actually an original character. For a while. Slowly, her character was melded into Naec 'Uofadee, a childhood friend of Ezwa. Ezwa and Naec were recently married.
May Volare was based off of May (simply that), an Artificial Intelligence that was good friends with John. In-universe, May was killed by Ezwa.
There was also Team something-that-I-can't-remember-off-the-top-off-my-head. They will forever remain a mystery.
I wonder if anyone will get this message. Over the next couple days, I will start attempting to remove all traces of myself. I know it can't be done completely, but I need to leave this place to move on. Otherwise I'll feel like I left something unfinished. And I can't bear the feeling of leaving something unfinished. I hate it.
This has been the Chief Overseer of Rampant Forces. And this is my swan song. It's been nice knowing you, and I can sleep better now that I know this whole thing was cleared up. I might drop by the IRC if I have enough free time. But who knows.
That's everything for now. And so...
It was fun. But my future wasn't here, and I knew it. Sorry for causing everyone trouble.
Sayonara.

Not again...
Posted 16 years agoMy computer was sweeped clean of data AGAIN. Good thing I was SOMEWHAT prepared for it. Sorta. About a month ago I put all my funny pics and what I had typed up on a disc. Thing is, it was months ago and I had bunches of new stuff. Now it's gone. Again.
Argh. Where's some fiting music when I need it?
...Well I have funny pictures.
I have surprised myself for not having any music befiting the situation.
I guess cheery music will work. I suppose I should give 1000%.

Before new story is uploaded, something will be said
Posted 16 years agoDon't be fooled by that title. I'm still working on patching up the story itself. Anyways...
A couple days ago, I was having lunch with the creator of John Remmus, Dark Hunter 37. He was asking me if I would ever do anything with Team Tsavo before John graduates. I told him I'll try, but because I'm so uber shy, I didn't make any guarantees. But an incredibly stupid idea struck me while we were conversing. I was mentioning how I untintentionally made one of my characters a type of character I never intended. This type of character I had done considerable amount of research on, watching a bunch of shows to get it down (Lucky Star, Shakugan no Shana, The Familiar of Zero).I originally intended for Lucy Ruangan (of Team Entropy) to be this character type, but after this incredibly stupid idea was mentioned, it turned out to be a ridiculously brilliant idea that Dark Hunter 37 even approved of. And I hate it when that happens. When things happen in my favor that I cause unintentionally, it makes me very angry for some reason.
The point is, without a clue, I unintentionaly made Mira Lagirdam and John Remmus the PERFECT couple. Mira, the Tsundere, and John, the Jerk with a Heart of Gold(/Silver). I hated myself for not even noticing Mira's Tsudere-ness I went ahead and made an entire backstory of John and Mira meeting a couple years before they joined PCA.
I am such a baka. :(

Updated

Not sure if anyone noticed or not but oh well.
K see ya!

Team Tsavo Profile is undergoing an update
Posted 16 years agoI have chosen to have my characters "grow up" in a sense. I have abandoned the idea of simpsons time and want my characters to grow up and move on. But I have decided to keep the name of Team Tsavo alive, by having it's title given to a new team when the current holder graduates (or is removed from the school in some manner). This way, I can keep my favorite team from becoming extinct, all the while letting new characters get a time in the limelight so to speak. I can't stick with the same characters forever. I just don't like having the idea of having my characters stuck in "an endless recursion of time."
But I digress...
Team Tsavo Profiles are being updated to "Entropy" style. Added features include:
- Ability in-depth description
- Changing "History" to "Pre-PCA History" (No point in adding a "PCA History" as of now due to Team Tsavo not being included in anything recently)
- Revised character information
- All members increasing to "Junior" (With the exception being John Remmus, who will be "Senior")
That's about it. But it will be awhile as I need "Dark Hunter 37's" approval of John's Senior moveset, as I promised he could have his own character, he calls the shots when it comes to John.
Until next time!
Hey lookie! Music!

I feel like talking
Posted 16 years agoI'm just gonna speak random things cause I feel like it.
- In Pokemon D/P/P, you go to Fullmoon Island eventually to get the Lunar Wing. About 3 months ago I picked it up, and I have never brought it to the boy. I wonder if that'll have any effect on the Darkrai event coming up...
- I was watching Modern Marvels the other day on Corn (there was nothing else to do and I like watching things like "Modern Marvels" and "How It's Made"). A commercial break ended and I swear it said "We now return to Porn, on Modern Marvels." 0_o My heads been messing with me recently...
- I find myself weird on the fact that I can go watch something like the Lucky Star opening dance and enjoy watching that, then seconds later I can watch eleven minutes of Death Scenes from "Dead Space" and enjoy myself as well. But I intend to be a sort of super utility player in the future, have knowledge and skill in many fields, but who knows how that's gonna work out.
- I need to train myself in Halo 3 and Halo Wars, as in both my skill has deteriorated sharply. Maybe cause during both, I wasn't listening to music. Damnit I need my music... music makes things more exciting, gets adrenaline pumping, and I give it my all damn it! (My 360 Hard Drive needs more Japanese music. "Packaged" is not going to cut it. I need something like JOINT or something more actiony that Dark Hunter 37 can listen to without wanting to turn it off.)
- Elsewhere, I AM thinking of what kind of Pokemon the Red Vs Blue Cast would be if they were Pokemon. Still wondering, as I have a habit of making almost every fictional character I come across have a "Pokemon forme" that fits their personality.
I think that's it for now.
K see ya!

Incoming!
Posted 16 years agoI finally got back to work on my stuff. Had to retype it, but yeah. I feel like I need to pick up the pace too. Don't know why, I just do.
So comes the question...
Posted 16 years agoWill I be doing "Series" thingies anymore? I think the answer to that is no. I'll do journals when I feel like saying something, or when something happens, or whenever. But that doesn't mean I'll stop for a very long period of time. Maybe a journal a week or something. Or more often than that I don't know. To understand how I do stuff like this, I must explain how I play Halo Wars:
At the beggining, I usually have a couple supply pads, a barracks, a field armory, and turrets along my base. I usually just build 3 spartans and get them in warthogs and take bases. I don't have a fool-proof figthing strategy, I usually make tactics when I see what the opponent has made. But if i'm using a Human Leader (they have specific uber infantry), it's pretty easy to plan out my attacks. I just mass produce th powerful stuff and move forward. But if I'm using Covenant, the aformentioned tactic is how I go about.
I hope that made sense to someone >_>

Happy birthday to m-oh wait I'm a day late
Posted 16 years agoI'm late for myself BECAUSE I had accidentaly injured myself with a drill. However, it happened so fast I'm not exactly sure what caused it. Was it the drill itself? Or was it the chuck key I was using to get the drill bit out? Either way, I had to go the ER and get 4 stitches. It reminded me of "Trauma Center"; I only played one of the games of that series, but it was fun. Anyways, it was one birthday I will not soon forget. And DAMN it hurt! It hurt the most when it happened. Also, my typing is slowed just a little bit. I realized now how much I don't use my left pointer finger, but I still use my left HAND alot more. Luckily, I'm right handed :P YOU LOSE DRILL!!!
But now it's Dark Hunter's birthday today... and I'm broke lol
But now it's Dark Hunter's birthday today... and I'm broke lol
A new day is a reset!
Posted 16 years agoSummer vacations coming up! Time to retype my stuff up will be coming soon! Yay! My spirit has suddenly returned! Should I thank music? Or was it that chat thing? For once, I blame the chat for my returned spirit. Gonna be spending much more time there XD
Simple update is simple
Posted 16 years agoI finally got around to aging my characters, as I realized a couple weeks ago their birthdays passed.
The following has been changed to Team Tsavo Profiles:
Mira has aged to 16 (that actually should have happened a while ago, but didn't realize it till now)
May has aged to 16
Tayla has aged to 16

It's over...
Posted 16 years agoCome so quick and gone so fast. May is already over. I'm so depressed.
Depressing music is depressing...
But now June starts! And my birthdays June 4th!
...
...but I'm still depressed...
:'(

DAMNIT!
Posted 16 years agoYou know what I just realized? All my hard PCA work is on the other computer! FUCK! This freakin SUCKS! That means I have to retype EVERYTHING!
...Now I feel like this guy...

NO WAIS!!1!! INTERNETZ HAZ RETURMED???
Posted 16 years agoActually, I'm not sure if it's permanent or anything. But we got a new computer. I suppose it's supposed to be a gaming computer (ownage), but the internet runs rather slow for a computer built with so much space. Who knows. I don't.
But you know what sucks? May is almost over already. I planned on doing something related to May Volare during the month, but... yeah. No internet made me depressed. If I had been able to just spend more time on FA or the PCA forums, I probably would have the ambition to do it. But... that's not the way it went. *sigh*
However, deep in the darkness, there are rays of hope. I think behind every dark cloud is a bright and shinning sun, just waiting to break through. When something starts out bad, it can only get better, right?
So lets keep looking towards a bright tommorow, whenever it may come.
And so it begins.

Posted 16 years ago"Calm before the storm, Marine. Enjoy it."
Because I got internet on my wii I can type this up. This no internet thing is really starting to piss me off. But it's not a total loss. As a matter of fact, I took it upon myself to get back to work on Team Entropy's profile, while also working on the Indie. I still haven't gotten that far due to Marathon and Cave Story. But I found out I totally screwed up in CS so yeah. Just wanted to give a tiny update.
