I missed my own 10k Kiriban.

I...was gonna have someone screencap it...and then reward them with something (eventhoughIcan'tdrawsoIdon'tknowwhatthatwouldbe), but...it's already 367 past 10,000...

I...I...I...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DOOOO! *wails* *PANICSPAZZFLAIL*

I NEED TO DO A THANK-YOU SOMETHING, BUT I HAVE NO IDEAS. *whimper* My last Kiriban was a FOUR-PART DEVIATION that I have no idea how to top...unless...

...unless I actually started DRAWING. *GASP*

Should I try?

You. Guys. Gave me. TEN. THOUSAND. VIEWS. I--I--I--I can't believe it. I never, EVER IN A MILLION YEARS, though I'd get this far. I'm speechless and--and--and--

THANK YOU!!

*collapses*

EDIT:

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!

I went to a Speech and Debate tournament yesterday, for the first time in like two or three years--for the first time since high school. I was in a three-person team, and the other two boys were more experienced at it than me, but I still held my own in the rounds that I did (I'd like to think so anyway).

AND. WE. CAME. HOME. WITH. GOLD. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!

I still don't think I did NEARLY as well as Jason or Nick; Jason was the guy with the most EXP at this kind of thing and Nick is awesome and they make a great team and were both IMMENSELY helpful and incredibly smart and analytical and I still don't think I did NEARLY as well as them and I already SAID that didn't I and--

*diesexplodesdies*

*goes off to apply Debate topics to PoliSci class*

*and writes Larrian runes all over her hand* XD;;

-In terms of fandom how would you categorize yourself?
Fullmetal Pocketwatch-Carrying Nerd. Pfft, my Nerd Resume is way more extensive than my fandoms, though. I used to be the president of Game Club; I dated the Chess Club president in high school; I was an honorary Tech Staff cart-pusher; I roll Rogues on DnD and WoW; and I could tell you more about Tolkien’s Elves than you EVER wanted to know. I’m a Jack of All Nerdoms—dabbling in many things, but not truly specialized in any. Kind of like your family doctor. XD [/brag] >.>

-What key chains are on your back pack right now?
Just Kokopeli. I’ve had him on every backpack I’ve ever owned since middle school. <3

-Favorite subjects?
Writing, any science that doesn’t involve math. >.<

-Aspiration (s)?
Best-Selling Novelist and/or Poet, Carrier of a Master’s Degree, Mother of Two to Three, Owner of Eight Bazillion Dogs, Resident of Somewhere Green With A Stream Running Through It.

-Who are your heroes?
My father, my step-mom, my Nana, Bethany Marroquin, Nichole Arrington, Margaret Franzen.

-What famous person/people would you like to meet
Well I met Vic-sama…<3. XD; I think I’d about have a heart attack if I met Johnny Depp. Srsly.

-One talent you don't have that you would like too?
DRAWING DRAWING DRAWING DRAWING DRAWING

-What three things that bother you most right now (nothing that has a good chance of being solved in the next few days)?
People calling me by any name that isn’t mine (NOT CHELSEA DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!!), frequent headaches, boys being boys.

-What are you afraid of?
Going to bed with low blood sugar and not waking up in the morning. Also, stickers.

-Is your hair color natural?
YES. AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN SO. D:

-List 5 things that are beautiful.
Firestorm sunsets, open fields after a rain, dramatically juxtaposed colors, babies, the human heart.

-Your three favorite ice cream treats?
Mint Chocolate Chip, anything with BROWNIES in it, and mthrfckng FUDGESICLES.

-Bonus points if you can say what a troglobite is (don't look it up!)
MS Word says it’s spelled wrong. Do you mean “trilobite?” It’s one of the earliest groups of animals with an exoskeleton on the planet; from the Pre-Cambrian era, I think. Their fossils are so abundant that they’re a great way to identify the age of rocks. Yes, I happen to be geeky about geology. What.

-3 random things about you.
I’m addicted to caffeine but it can make me dizzy; I have an outie bellybutton; my shoe size is 6 and ½.

-3 random things about 3 of your OCs (if you don't have that many it's ok).
I’m liking this meme more and more.
Will (Homunculus): 1.) I’m so obsessed with him that he’s ALWAYS the first OC to come to mind in memes. 2.) He really likes his hairstyle, even though he’s stuck with it, what with being a Homunculus and all. 3.) Once he figures a title for someone he’ll stick with it, no matter how well he gets to know that person. Example: Winry Rockbell is Miss Winry; Pinako is Mrs. Rockbell; Izumi is Mrs. Curtis. But Colonel Roy Mustang is Roy, just Roy, always. S’cause he considers Roy, Ed, and Al to be the three reasons why he was born.
Bethany Wroten (Aerdus): 1.) She likes knives. And is really, really good at throwing them, despite being TWELVE. 2.) She was named after a pacifist but her personality is more inspired by Lyra Silvertongue from the His Dark Materials trilogy: fiery and at times vicious. 3.) She’s fckng OBSESSED with custard.
Seth (Aerdus): 1.) As my current signature implies, he can’t always remember what a human form looks like, especially under the clothes, because he hasn’t seen a naked human in a few years. That’s what too much shapeshifting’ll do to ya, kids. 2.) Despite being batshit insane and with a memory akin to Dory from Finding Nemo, he has an incredible intuition for analyzing a person’s character. 3.) His favorite object in the world is a dirty, beaten-up, destroyed sofa. It’s also the only object in his house aside from the unsorted mountains of cash he’s gotten from various bounties over the years.

-3 random things you have added to any canon characters you frequently RP.
I LOVE THIS MEME.
Envy (FMA): 1.) If you’re one of my Watchers, you so saw this coming. 2.) He loves sweets and booze, particularly the two of them together. Even though Homunculi don’t need to eat, Envy often pokes around bars and cafes for cakey things and mixed drinks, his fav being margaritas. 3.) He has a serious hair fetish.
Kay, these things aren’t necessarily things that I’ve added, but more like things that I’ve noticed in the manga and anime canon that a lot of people seem to overlook. I like to think that I play Edward very close to the canon.
Edward Elric (FMA): 1.) Despite Edward’s genius, he’s actually a very closed-minded person. If he encounters something too far outside his paradigm, outside his limited views of the world, he freezes up, incapable of or refusing to deal with it. (But he’s also 15, which pretty much explains THAT. ) 2.) Ed is not, in fact, lactose intolerant. He’s just picky. 3.) He has really bad taste in aesthetics. Skulls and sharp pointy things and other things that a young boy would consider “badass” make up the majority of his aesthetic preferences. Kind of makes it hard for adults to not treat him like a kid.
I haven’t played Vash since middle school. Ah, good times. XD;
Vash the Stampede (Trigun): 1.) His favorite kind of donuts are plain, with no glaze, no frosting, and no sprinkles—just the fried dough. 2.) In any arc where Knives has been reformed (even partially), Vash wishes he’d change his name. 3.) He thinks his beauty mark is cute.

-Anything defensive you would like to say.
IN MY DEFENSE…I have no excuse.

-Tag at least 5 people.
I am lazy. If you actually read ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS, consider yourself tagged. >D

*deep breath* Okay, time for YET ANOTHER MEME! *shot* ….*respawns* >D W00T! Here goes! XD;;

Stolen from

~ Rules:
~ If you don't have at least 8 OCs I wouldn't recommend this meme
~ Add on questions to this meme! It will make it bigger!
~ Enjoy!

1) First list all your OCs by first name so we can see your list of all your wonderful OCs:

Like Sarah, I’m only picking 8…If I listed ALL of them, the meme would be its own BOOK. O_o Over the years I’ve created dozens of those suckers…most of them fell by the wayside…ANYWAYS. Let’s pick some of my favs, and some random ones, for variety. XD;
1. Will Phelan (Homunculus) (I had to, come on. Just for familiarity’s sake, if anything. XD; )
2. William Phelan (Aerdus)
3. Amura Dawnstar, Loremaster of Kikara (Aerdus)
4. Nelfir (Aramasa)
5. Leilankali, Fifth Mistress of the Summer Leaf (Aramasa)
6. Onmesue Namilsafalithun (Aramasa)
7. Lukain Feld (Legend of Dragoon)
8. Ian Stromm a.k.a. The Halfbreed (SRBS)

2) Who is your favorite OC?
Will, in ALL his incarnations. <3

3) Who is your least favorite?
Obviously ones I haven’t listed. I don’t know; I go through so many OC’s…every time there was a thread on Aramasa, Gaia, or Zantarni that needed a new personality, up would pop a new profile, and some of them kind of died out a few posts later. Some OC’s are just “muse” characters like that—they are hard as HELL to write if I can’t step back into that EXACT frame of mind I had when they were created.

4) Who is your most developed?
Of this list? Easily Homunculus!Will. However, of this list, Leilankali is the oldest.

5) Which OC would you want to date if they magically came to life?
Dude. Lukain for sure. I mean, he kinda WAS my imaginary boyfriend back in middle school. XD; My fic!self/alter!self totally used to have a relationship with him. (*MARY SUE x GARY STU FAIL* @_@ But tests have proven that Ashari isn’t that bad of a Sue…hopefully I can prove Luk isn’t a Stu with this meme! *poses*)

6) How many girl OCs do you have? Boy OCs? It OCs?
Pffppft, like that matters. These days, though, my primary muses seem to be more boys than girls…meh. Who knows why. *shrug*

7) If you were stuck in a burning building what do you think the third OC on your list would do?
Amura? Dude, Amura would kick ass and take names. And I’d be the useless little panicky girl she’d have to rescue. XD; Here’s how it would go down: Amura = badass wind magic. Enough wind =/= fire. And if that didn’t work, Amura’s best Secondary Skill is Teleportation. XD!

8) Name one thing you regret about one of your OCs.
Making Lukain be the boyfriend of my Fic!self…but hell…that’s the reason why he came into existence. @_@ He’s also the son of the two main canon characters of Legend of Dragoon…*FAIL* I WAS FOURTEEN, OKAY? *sobs*

9) Which of your OCs do you think would make the best father/mother/it parent out of all your OCs and why?
Of this list, either Amura or Onmesue. Neither one seems like very good parent material as their stories, start, either: Amura is a distant, somewhat cold Loremaster and mage who makes her disdain for children in general pretty plain. Onmesue is a mercenary, an ex-thief and ex-pirate. Yet Amura’s ice gradually melts, and she gradually begins to take on a mothering role towards two certain children…and Onmesue? Hell, Onmesue gets married and has a daughter in the end. XD

10) Which of your OCs do you think will most likely be put in jail?
Either William, Ian, or Onmesue. Onmesue cause he’s already a wanted felon with multiple bounties on his head—but then again, he’s pretty darn skillful. Catching him would be a major pain in the ass for any law-enforcement body. Ian kills people for a living (well, he kills Vampires, anyway), but he’s connected with all the right people, so he skirts jail pretty well. And William? William has the worst luck IMAGINABLE. He’d probably end up in jail for sneezing. XD

11) Number eight of your OCs was put into the future! What will their job be?!?
How far in the future are we talking? Cause the SRBS arc is already modern/futuristic as it is…XD; But if we’re talking like, Futurama? Hm…Ian in Futurama. *snerks imagining Ian drawn in the Simpson’s style* XD Anyway--*cough*--his job. He’s quiet, diplomatic, and skilled in directing a fight the way he wants—either in diffusing one or FINISHING it. >D So…either a corporate liaison, an ambassador, or if someone really hated him, a menial pencil-pusher. Or hell, he’d probably be what he already is—an assassin. XD

12) Name the first OC’s catch phrase!
He doesn’t have ONE…he has stuff he says often, but I don’t know about any specific catch phrases…:\ He often rants about the Power of Choice, the value of human life, or how much of a bastard Envy is…or he gushes over Satzuni. XD

13) Do all your OCs live together or are they separated?
They’re mostly from totally different universes, so no, they don’t. XD Well, William and Amura travel together, but I don't know if that counts. :\

14) Are there any pairings that are in your OC list? (they can't be with someone else's)
Nope. No pairings among them. Most of them don’t even know each other. XD

15) Your seventh OC switched bodies with you for a day! How will they react at the end of the day?
O///O
“…so.” *AWKWARD SILENCE*
*followed immediately by HOT AWKWARD SILENCE*
>///>

16) Your last OC just became a fifteen year old. What do they do?
Flip out and promptly go into a self-deprecating angst attack. Ian didn’t have complete control of his vampiric Thirst when he was a teenager. He’d probably lock himself somewhere so he wouldn’t be able to rampage around killing people and sucking out their blood…like he did as a teenager.

17) Now randomly select a person on your OC list. Who was it?
Er, Amura. XD;

18) That OC you just chose? Yeah they think they are superman (even if they are a girl) and are on the roof about to jump off.
Amura is too level-headed to be delusional. That’s Seth’s job. XD But if Amura was gonna jump off a roof? She’d catch herself with Wind magic. Granted, her use of it is a bit too violent to allow for propelling herself in flight, but at least she wouldn’t go splat.

19) Are any of your OCs bored of this meme?
Amura and Onmesue are giving me twin looks of nonchalant, icy DEATH; I’m not sure which one is scarier. O_o Nelfir and Kali are bored cause neither of them has gotten any screen time yet. :\

20) Would your second OC prefer the beach or the mountains?
The beach. When the Aerdus book starts, William has never before seen the sea.

21) Would your 5th OC battle a shark?
Hell yeah! As long as there was some kelp around, she could make it grow UBER LONG AND TENTACLE-Y to strangle the hell out of that beast! That’s what the bugger gets for messing with her! >D

22) Which OCs hate each other?
None. They don’t really know each other for the most part. William respects Amura; Onmesue would be pretty leery of Ian if they ever met. Young!Will doesn’t know Ian yet, but Future!Will doesn’t trust him as far as he could throw him…which is pretty far, actually. Poor Ian; poor half-vampire white-haired leather-wearing homosexual Emo man. I love him so. XD

23) Which OC did you create first? And last?
Leilankali is the oldest OC on this list. I made her in 9th grade. Technically Lukain would be the oldest, since the concept of him floated into my brain around the middle of 8th grade, but he didn’t have a name or a history then, so he wasn’t a real character. The most recent character is Amura.

25) And if those two were fighting, who would win?
Between Kali and Amura? DUDE. THAT WOULD BE AN EPIC FIGHT. Both are mages; one plant, one wind. Both are highly skilled, highly creative, and moderately powerful with their magic. That’s a toughie. It’d also be AWESOME to watch. XD But really? Amura would win, and not because of magic or raw strength. Amura is the epitome of cool-headedness and logic, while Kali is impulse incarnate. All Amura would need to do would be to piss Kali off enough to make her sloppy, and then Amura could take her down, Fae or not.

26) Are your OCs fat or skinny?
I think pretty much ALL my OC’s—and I mean across the board—are twigs. Wow. Maybe I should get some variety in body-type. XD; (Well, Amura has natural woman-curves, but she's never had children, her bloodline is Aerdus's version of Japanese, and she travels the WORLD on FOOT, so you do the math. >.>; )

27) What are your first 2 OC's favorite foods?
Will? Orange creamsicles. And any breakfast food. XD William? Open-face custard tarts topped with fresh fruit. <3

28) If your listed OCs were in a fight to the death, who would emerge victorious?
Well, if it was to the death, of course the arc would be HUGE and contain all sorts of “I DON’T WANNA KILL YOU” angst (cause that’s how I roll XD; ), but really? Will. He’s the only one on that list who physically CANNOT DIE.

29) There's a zombie attack and your OCs are stranded. Who do they elect to be their leader and why?
Lukain. Amura and Onmesue are the oldest, but both of them are the Lone Wolf type; they prefer to defer mangement responsibilities to people with more experience in it. Lukain is the prime choice because he’s spent the last 7 years as the leader of the 3rd generation of Dragoons anyway. He’s also got extremely powerful and versatile magic, so any challenges to his authority would be pretty much pointless. Not that he’d try to lord over anyone; Lukain is very much the “natural” leader. But his raw power would be the reason for free spirits like Kali to shut up and do what he says without much grumbling.

30) During said zombie attack, who's the first to die?
NONE, cause I DON’T KILL MY CHARACTERS. D:

31) Which one of these OCs do you think would have the most fangirls/boys?
Depends on your fangirls. Yaoi fangirls? Ian. Dur, he’s the only canon gay, guys. XD As far as bishonen go? Will or William. I mean…honestly. XD;;;

32) Okay, so does OC number four have any last thoughts?
Nelfir: *tch* Finally you ask me a question. Admittedly I’m a bit miffed it took this long. But anyway. Looking for words of wisdom? Sorry; I’m not really the best person to ask on that. All I can say is this: use your head. And your nose. They rarely steer you wrong.

33) If possible, what's your characters' height?
Oooh, what a fun question. Most of these I haven’t decided yet, so now I get to make them up! :3
1. Will: 5’2”
2. William: 5’2” (what? They ARE alternates of each other XD)
3. Amura: 5’7”
4. Nelfir: Whatever height she wants to be. She’s a Shapeshifter, and a compulsive one at that.
5. Leilankali: 5’1”
6. Onmesue: 5’9”
7. Lukain: 5’10” (I think? I can’t get to his profile right now; help me Mai!)
8. Ian: 5’8”
…Damn. I really like short characters, don’t I. XD;; I DO HAVE SOME TALL ONES, I PROMISE. >.>

34) How old are they?
1. Will: Physically? 16. Actual Age? Going on 4 years.
2. William: 14 when the book starts; turns 15 within a few chapters.
3. Amura: 35
4. Nelfir: She’s a shapeshifting Fae; it’s not like it matters. XD
5. Leilankali: Physically she’s 15, but she’s been alive for eons. She’s pretty elemental. XD;
6. Onmesue: 37 when his arc starts.
7. Lukain: 23 the last time I played him; 16 when his story starts.
8. Ian: Kinda hard to determine. Halfbreeds age slower than humans, but quicker than Vampires. Plus he has something of a baby-face syndrome *coughBishonencough* going on. XD;
YAY for variety! :3

35) OC #4 hits on OC #2. What happens?
*SNERK* If Nelfir ‘shifted into some sexy form and started hitting on poor William? He’d blush like the complete dork he is as Nelfir backed him into a corner, then freeze up. Or just like, plop down into the first thing to hit the backs of his legs, due to his knees giving out on him. XD The kid has NO frame of reference for dealing with women. XD

36) Do any of your OC’s have a theme song?
Yes. Will has a whole PLAYLIST. XD My favorite for him right now is one suggested by Kat; it’s called The Red by Chevel. The lyrics fit him to a tee. Also, Amura has a theme song: Extraordinary Day by Delta Goodrem. It’s a soothing, haunting, somewhat wandersome (totally just made that word up) ballad, and I think the lyrics describe well her bewilderment at being caught up in the chain of events surrounding William and Bethany.

37) Which of your OC’s is the most difficult to write?
Ugh. DEFINITELY Onmesue. He’s the oldest, the most male, the most experienced, the most skilled, and the QUIETEST. HE NEVER SAYS ANYTHING. Thank God he SEES everything, otherwise I’d have nothing to say when I step inside his head. @_@ He’s one of those Muse characters that miraculously survived somehow. XD;

38) Closing Remarks?
HUGELY LONG MEME IS HUGELY LONG.
