A Weird Tournament and the Final Heretic

The new Technic Coliseum Tournament starts in a week, so I've officially opened registration. This time around, all fighters are going to be using the basic stat total (48), but you can rearrange the stats any way you want. This was suggested a while back, but with my memory I can't quite remember who it was, ahaha...   Anywho, this is a test run. I'll get some feedback after the Tournament and see where we go from there.   In other news, I finally put together a story focusing on Orkahm! Ju

Back to School

My first class was cancelled, which would be good if it weren't Japanese.   When I entered my second (though technically first?) class, someone came up and hugged me as I was entering the doorway, which honestly is a nice enough way to start a semester.   Then I went to the nearby shopping center to kill three hours until my next class, which was almost three hours long itself.   It's an interesting start 7/10 will be optimistic.

The Shooting Star's Final Descent

Chapter 17 of Shooting Star Sonia has been posted, meaning the story is now complete!   Not that the story’s gotten a whole lot of attention (though it is doing surprisingly well over on FanFiction.net), but it’s so rare that I actually finish a story, especially one this long! This is a victory.   Despite taking long and frequent breaks, I enjoyed writing this story—I’ve known these characters for, what, almost nine years now, and it was fun to get to know them a little better and play around

Night at the Mu-seum

Chapter 2 of Shooting Star Sonia 2 is up!   While chapter 1 was more of an original prologue, this chapter starts to get into the adaptation proper, though things have been moved around and I’ve decided to begin with something that happened a little later in the original game. Hey, it helps if there’s an actual reason for the villains to be targeting the heroine, right?   I tried to revise the world history presented in the game into something a little more cohesive here, and also more clearly

The Perfect Recruit

In Our Bones, The Second Break, is now live in Epics!   My idea when outlining the story was that each chapter would focus on a different summer set (Scorpio, Warrior, Basher, Slicer, Grinder/all (since Grinder necessarily needed to be in all of them)). They didn’t all quite work out that way (The First Break ended up focusing on a group kinda…), but The Second Break is still very much the Skull Warrior’s story. It does also give us our first look at the Skull Basher, plus brings back Grinder,

Opinions on TWEWY Final Remix's New Day

The World Ends With You Final Remix released on Switch earlier this month, and the other day I just finished my trip through its brand-new scenario “A New Day”. Being the first real addition to TWEWY, it’s kind of a big deal, so I wanted to share my thoughts on it. Naturally this post is full of spoilers—you’ve been warned!   For starters, the marketing was very misleading. Saying the new scenario “gets to the heart of the story” when it’s tangential at best is a flat-out lie, and focusing th

Virtual Red Update

My team has been completed!   Hana the Venusaur, currently Lv 42 Scorch the Growlithe, currently Lv 41 Gahlok the Vaporeon, currently Lv 41 Sentinel the Marowak, currently Lv 42 Aeroga the Aerodactyl, currently Lv 41 Articuno, currently Lv 50   I haven't actually used Articuno yet since I want everyone else to catch up, but I think they'll really come in handy. Pokedex just hit 50 so I picked up the EXP All, hoping that will prove useful; I managed to beat Sabrina so I'm now exploring the Pokemo

A Very Video Game-Themed Post

The recent issue of Famitsu revealed some more information about The World Ends With You -LIVE Remix-. The game will be for iOS and Android devices and takes place in a parallel universe, similar to the Another Day bonus chapter in the original game. Players will be divided into teams of 20 and hunt down "Ringleader Noise" in order to earn points for the end of the week. Sounds like it won't have a lot of story to it. Oh, but they did mention the new character. They're calling her "Atarashi

When You're Too Lazy to Write a Fic So You Call it an AU

Being excited about G2 and Dragon Ball Super got me thinking again about this idea I had a few years back about a crossover fic. Well, basically it was just putting Bionicle characters into DBZ roles, with a few minor adjustments here and there, but no one’s ever accused me of being super original, now have they? Still don’t have the motivation to write up the whole story, but dumping AU ideas seems to be a thing, I believe? So, Bionicle DBZ AU goooo!   -Let’s see, the basics: initial setting

Happy New Year!

It's a New Year, which apparently is a magical reset button that changes everything, which is why we all resolve to do something new that we apparently couldn't do until hitting the reset button. "That was easy"...but anyway.   2011 means I'm going to start talking about Bioni-Lords Book 3: Kako. The subtitle, "Kako", is a Japanese word meaning "past". That's right. Book 3 is a flashback book!   Book 3 takes place around 1274-1275 A.B.L., approximately 20 years before Book 1. Khadaz's par

Pahrak's PokéRecords: Fire

-Typhlosion ("Blaze," "Blaze Jr.") -Ho-Oh ("Rudy") -Infernape ("Sarutobi") -Charizard -Magmortar -Victini -Chandelure ("Lumiere") -Emboar ("Recoome") -Blaziken (Mega)   I like Fire. Who doesn't like Fire? Most of my teams tend to have Fire Pokemon on them, because there's nothing quite like incinerating your opponent's Pokemon to smoldering ash. Although, I think I've already used most of the Fire Pokemon I've actually wanted to train. Might be difficult to fill the spot in the future...well

Regarding Slizer Dome US

Yeah, the delay's going to be a bit longer.   I was recently approached to collaborate on something for G&T (don't know how much I'm allowed to say right now so I'm leaving it vague), and working on two games at once still sounds like a bit much. I also want to kick myself into writing more Shooting Star Sonia 2 (the posting schedule is about to catch up to where I'm writing and that makes me a little nervous), so between these two projects I think Slizer Dome US would benefit from waiting

Asterisk Guide: Pirate

Asterisk Holder: Hayreddin Barbosa     Origin: Final Fantasy III (called Viking)   Was It In Bravely Default?: Yes   Overview: Pirates are axe-wielding powerhouses whose special abilities let them deal physical damage while simultaneously debuffing the target, making them great for any team. They also have powerful moves like Double Damage, Torrent, and Amped Strike, along with several abilities for raising their physical strength under certain conditions.

Source of Prompts

For a while I’ve been trying to think of a weekly or biweekly writing prompt system cause I wanted to get back to writing on a regular schedule. I’m not so sure about the regular part right now, but I’m at least testing it so here’s the run-down.   Right now I’m calling it Reference Roulette. I go onto BS01 and hit the Random Page button. Whatever it lands on, I have to write a short story about that. (If it’s something I’ve already written about, I keep trying until I get something new.) Th

Asterisk Guide: Black Mage

Asterisk Holder: Ominas Crowe     Origin: Final Fantasy   Was It In Bravely Default?: Yes   Overview: Another iconic Job! The Black Mage can cast a wide variety of damage-dealing and debuff spells, making them your basic offensive magic unit. In Bravely Default, their Black Resonance ability powered them up when you had multiple Black Mages in the same party, though the lack of variety and low survivability of Black Mages makes this approach somewhat questionable. They also learn Damage Dispers

Some Writing Plans

The Time of the Mask Makers, The Final Swing, is live! It’s essentially a retake on The Legend animation, and finishes the tale of Makuta and Ekimu while creating the sparks that ignite the 2015 story. So I guess you already know what happens.   I had a lot of fun with this story, and I’m eager to get feedback on the ending! (Maybe a little nervous too, ahaha…) At first I thought I shouldn’t write G2 fanfiction until we had more canon material to work with, but it was actually nice to take the

A Spherus Magna Epic, Of A Different Sort

You may remember The Gargoyle Knight, a Fanfic Exchange story I wrote starring the Makuta Antroz of the Melding Universe? Well, I came to really like it and brainstormed way too many ideas to cram into one short story, so I’ve decided to attempt a full epic set in the Melding Universe.   Right of Law will see Makuta Antroz face a severe moral dilemma, where she must either repeat her past mistakes or risk the safety of all of Spherus Magna. Section I is merely an introduction to this tale, but

Pahrak's PokéRecords: Poison

-Venusaur ("Saur", "Triffid" (Mega)) -Nidoking ("Arthur")   I'll be frank: I don't like Poison. I'm perfectly fine with it having two Gyms and no legendaries, and I never had any real reason to put it on my team. Of course, now that it has a type advantage over Fairy, it's infinitely more useful, so maybe I'll get more use out of it in the future. All that being said, the Pokemon listed above were all absolutely phenomenal parts of my team. My LeafGreen Venusaur was able to defeat my rival's

The Update You Weren't Waiting For

Hey, remember that one comedy I started but then never got around to finishing?   ...Well...one of the comedies I started but never got around to finishing? The most recent one?   I finally wrote Chapter 8 of The Bionicle RPG You Never Wanted. Sorry it took so long. At least I was able to spin it into a joke! Anywho, this chapter takes the party through the last Citadel, so next chapter will start the final dungeon. I'm thinking the ending will run into chapter 10, and then I was considerin

The Distorted Reflection

So I don’t know if you noticed when you started reading The Distortion Anthology, but I’m one of the lucky few writing for it! My turn has come around, though we’ll have to see if I can serve as a decent follow-up to what Lucina and fishers have already provided you with, eheheh…   Reflection Part 1 is up now, with Part 2 scheduled for around this time next week. This story takes place about two years before Isolation in case you’re wondering about timeline placement. I only ended up using a
