One Last Draft

Not going to talk about that movie news. I will be unable to do anything but rage against it.   I updated the Spirit Index, so the list now goes to 1477, plus Exo-Tahnok Kal Tyrant has been finished, so all of the King Bohrok are complete! (Well, unless anyone submits edits...) I also updated the Elemental Rarity article on Exo's Desk. Hopefully I'll be able to finish updating that site soon, plus I have a few more Spirits I'm working on, and possibly a few changes to the VRHS version exclusive

The Day of Foresight

[ A primer on the world of Olkir]   The sea undulated slowly, lightly tossing the eight ships that sat anchored in a wide circle. None of the vessels took any action, all simply holding position and waiting, occasionally glancing at one or the other—usually at the ship flying the flag that bore a large yellow sun emblem against a black background.   It happened in an instant. Where there was once empty sky and water, suddenly there was a great stone structure, a grey monolith that towered high

War and Ruin

Beyond Ruin part 3 is now up, focusing on the Queen of War!   War’s already gotten a lot of focus—she and Light were the Queens who appeared in the story this idea grew out of so I wanted them both to be fairly important. While I'm trying to experiment with characters who aren't necessarily right or wrong, War is a character who I think needs to have a unique morality, since I had to find some positive way to spin an incarnation of the concept of war, and that’s something that one needs to thin

The Shooting Star Strikes Again

I was hoping to get Chapter 9 of Shooting Star Sonia done within a month of 8's posting, and thank God, I was able to do just that! ...Cutting it close, of course. But the chapter is up!   The thing is, um...it's long. Like, even longer than Chapter 2 long. Hopefully it turned out better than Chapter 2, though--that one feels like a bit of a mess, with a bit too much crammed in for so early, and me still trying to feel out how I was going to adapt each scenario. There's a lot going on in 9,

The Reflection's Other Side

Reflection Part 2 is up, and that completes my bit of Distortion!   It was great getting to work alongside these talented authors, and an honor to be part of this series! I hope you’ll enjoy what my colleagues have waiting for you as the anthology continues!

Boots Fit For a Queen

Wait, when was the last time I did something related to Divine Strength? On second thought, I’m not going to double check, it’ll only discourage me. Suffice to say it has been months.   Well guess what. I got a surprise burst of motivation at midnight thirty the other night (morning?) and wrote a 1200-ish word story. About Queens.   So I’m totally going to post it, but, I got to thinking. This individual thing doesn’t really do anything too unique, though it is the first thing I’ve really w

Ultra Sunrise

I've gotten a few hours into Ultra Sun. There have been some ups and downs, but progress is being made, and I'm eager to see what else awaits. I was able to get the special Rockruff and evolve it into Dusk Lycanroc (by messing with the 3DS clock, that works in case you want to know), started with Litten to round out my Living Dex, and I managed to catch a Pichu and eventually evolve it into a Pikachu. (You can get Soothe Bell fairly early on, that was a nice surprise.)   Also, Route 1 has Munc

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

I was too busy feasting and commiting genocide to make a post until now. That is how we celebrate, right...?   All pessimism aside, I want to mention that next month's issue of Famitsu will have information on the new Pokemon movie featuring Genesect! ...It's exciting for me, at least. I got a lot of use out of the Genesect distributed when Black/White 2 were released. Also the teaser trailer for this movie reveals why it is that Genesect can learn Fly: apparently it transforms into some kind o

Get Your Scouters Ready...

You may have noticed that I made a rather significant change to my display name. The reason is this, in case you're wondering. (And because Lexaeus has a power level of OVER 9000!!)   In other Kingdom Hearts news, KH3D comes out on Tuesday!! So yeah, I'll be more or less disappearing off the face of the Internet until I beat it. Should take a week at most. In that time I will do my best to continue writing Kako and whatnot...also making tons of Bioni-Spirits based on Dream Eaters. Fun stuff

A Fight to the Death

In Our Bones, The Third Break, is live!   So, this is the midpoint. Our main focus here is on the battle between the Skull Basher and a certain Protector. I tried to have Basher show some other ways the mystic art might be used, since that’s something I can expand on in the future. The consequences of this fight will lead directly into the climax, and there’s also a little hinting towards what will be delved into a bit more next week.

Well, 5 is Better Than 1

Dragon Ball Super has recently kicked off the Universe Survival Arc we’ve been looking forward to. Rather than going straight to the tournament proper, they’re doing a three-round exhibition match between Universe 7 (Goku and friends) and Universe 9, and the most recent episode gave us some interesting information after the second round concluded. Which is a weird place to put it. Especially since the Grand Priest presents this in an announcement to everyone gathered—you would think it’d be d

Thoughts ZX, As Promised

I caved and bought a new copy of Megaman ZX off Amazon. And it was actually new! It was in a case, and even wrapped in plastic. Rad. Anyway I’ve completed Easy Mode with Aile and most of Normal Mode with Vent so this seems like a good time to say stuff I guess.   My memories of the first time I played this are a little fuzzy, but I do think I’m benefitting now that I actually know who all the Biometals are based on. ZX as a whole is a neat progression from the Zero series—it capitalizes on Zero

The Turning Point Begins

A month ago I said I wanted to use this blog more, but I've been almost exclusively doing Right of Law adverts since then. Huh. At least it means I'm making good progress on Right of Law!   Section V is out now! Despite her companions' warnings, Antroz heads back to Xia and meets with Angonce, and the negotiations don't exactly go the way either hoped they would. Things won't be able to return to normal after this...

Solo Remixed

No, I couldn't think of a more creative title.   Anywho, I beat the final boss of TWEWY Solo Remix! Took just over 20 hours, since I didn't spend as much time grinding as I did when I played the DS version. Back then, whenever I entered a new area, I cleared out all the Noise before moving on--course, I was on vacation when that came out, and now I have a job. Curiously, they removed the reception icon. In the DS version, the number of bars you had would tell you how much Noise was in the area.

Pahrak's PokéRecords: Steel

-Lucario ("Aki", "Akamai") -Bronzong ("Bronz") -Dialga ("Vahi") -Empoleon ("Kowalski") -Genesect -Bisharp ("Muramasa") -Aegislash ("Ultima")   I've had mixed experience with Steel. Sometimes, despite its many resistances, one of my Steel Pokemon just won't have a talent for lasting very long in battle. But other times they're just plain awesome. I like Steel as a type overall, and I definitely hope to use more of it--especially now that it has a type advantage over Fairy to add to its usefuln

AU Thoughts

For some reason I got hooked on the idea of a Kingdom Hearts AU where everyone is a Gem and like   -Everyone already has a weapon they can summon out of nowhere so that’s done   -Heartless are Gems that have been corrupted, and the Keyblade is the only thing that can restore them to their former self   -Nobodies are the projected bodies of Gems that have been left behind when their gemstone is stolen/corrupted   -Lion as a Dream Eater   -Drive Forms being Gem Fusions   -Xehanort fusing with Terr

Why Have One World When You Can Have All of Them

I rambled a while back about another dumb idea I had. It got worse.   Right now the working title is Amalgam Atlas. This story takes place in a dimension that constantly expands by taking in pieces of other universes, and an organization known as the Pioneers exists to chart these places as they appear, as well as set up a network of warp stations so that this massive world can be traversed far more easily. In addition to taking in pieces of these worlds, powers and weapons from them also mater

A Life Update

I don’t do this often, this is weird, anyway.   I got a new job! A bit nervous about some of the specifics, but I’m excited, and really hoping that it’ll work out. I’ve had my…current? Former? Job for just about 5 years, which is a good number in my book and I have had more than enough of it, though I will miss several of my coworkers. I’m going for an orientation on Tuesday, and I should officially start the last week of May.   The thing is, I’m moving from part time to full time, and I’m

Never Thought I'd Say It

So for reasons I still don’t fully understand…I ended up buying an exercise game. And, honestly, it’s kind of great? It’s like DDR but with punching. So that’s cool.   And like, it’s just a really great fit for the Switch. Rather than rearranging things and getting everything hooked up each day for just 20 minutes, I can use the Switch’s kickstand to do this wherever’s most convenient. And if I need to travel or something, I can just take my Switch with me and not have to miss a day or two.

Why Finish One Thing When You Can Start a Fifth

So I got bored the other night and was avoiding working on all the stories already on my plate and looked back over an old story I did featuring Vhisola and Macku on Mata-Nui. It’s really pretty basic, but I actually sort of like how it turned out—at least, I think there’s still some potential to the concept.   I now find myself considering writing a sequel. Well, it might not be too tied to the original, so that I can say “You can read this one without reading the other one”, but in essence,

Potential Technic Fighting Series Revival No One Asked For

“Technic Fighting Series” is long-winded and bland but this isn’t really Coliseum or Tournament and it’s definitely not Warzone so I didn’t know how else to get the point across, ANYWAY.   I’m thinking of taking another crack at this series with Technic Survival, not in any way influenced by the current Dragon Ball arc I don’t know where you’re getting that, but I’m very hesitant. Mainly because the idea here is team vs team, and to do that I’ll need a decent number of players, which I’m not su

RoboRiders Demo 0.1

Slizer Dome feels a tiny bit shaky, but I still think it’s a decent entry for fishers’s contest. However, since she is allowing multiple entries, I decided to add another story to my mountain of ideas I need to get to.   You see, for reasons I can’t explain, I still have a special place in my heart for RoboRiders—maybe just because, back when I was entering the world of Lego constraction lines, I was able to find three RoboRiders on store shelves as opposed to one Slizer. (I mean I have all sets

How to Train Your Baby Dialga

When transferring my Pokemon from Gen V to VI, I discovered that I had not transferred my Dialga out of Diamond before selling it. This saddened me. So, using a gift card I had been given, I set out to obtain a Dialga figure.     "I can't breathe in here."   It came (two weeks early!) packaged, so I felt I should take a picture of that. The plastic is actually styled like an Ultra Ball, which is really neat! That being said...I was impatient to unpackage him.     "I'll get you out!!"   And

Power And Hair Are Intimately Linked You Know

Things that need to be done for Divine Strength: improve characters, settle on worldbuilding details, structure plot, actual work   Things I’m focusing on for Divine Strength: the Queen of Light’s hair color   Yeah. The idea is that some Queens, when their body is charged with magic during the fusion of the human soul and the deity soul, have their hair color altered to a specific color. In the case of the Queen of Light, that color changes over the course of her life, acting as a gauge for ho
