A Look Into A Pitch III

It's that time again boys and girls, time to take another look into a pitch III. Now here's somewhat of a non-cliche character I had in mind. Shen Marquis, a seal warrior. A seal warrior learns how to form sealing circles of various elements: steel, water, fire, plants, etc. Those seals are contained in each finger of the warrior. So you can master up to ten circles total. By forming the circle the warrior makes markings within them using thier soul energy as the ink. There are two forms of circles the main circle and the sub circles. Sub circles can be formed in the main circle and markings can be made in them to perform advanced spells. Spells include holy water flame and blocking. Blocking involves using only one circle and drawing a line in it to block an attack its a basic spell that any warrior can do. Holy water, by itself its useless against demons by using the right seal and markings you can make it into naplam or blow fire by drinking it. Shen is a character hunting Selpha, since he is the demon that killed his father. He's lived for over a thousand years, he was only a child during the dark war. However he found a potion that allowed him to live forever so now he wanders the earth for his prey.

The Shadow General: Cage, he's an advanced demon from a family specializing in shadow arts. Next to Chaos, he is the next powerful general. A family trait is that his shadow is a projection of his soul. He has a physical body, but his soul resides in another demension. Most demons don't consider the trait as a power, but as a birth defect. He possesses a sword that exists with his soul. With his mastery in shadow arts he can open a hole that allows his soul to rise up and attack his enemies while his physical body attacks. Along with that he can manipulate shadows with his soul. So he can take over bodies of the dead and of the living. He is a fiercesome opponent, who can hold his own against man and demon alike. A bit of storyline look, he attaches a part his soul to Ryo's shadow and takes a part of Ryo's soul so that they can each sense each other.

These are another two characters that I've come up with, it would be pretty interesting how they would turn out in an anime. Next time in another look into a pitch III, Bounty operation descriptions and the angel that resides in Naoki. So until then keep reading.

My Mission Statement

To my readers (the very few of you who actually look at this blog) I would like to go over what this blog is about. This blog is to point out the various things wrong in our society from a logical stand point. I will be brutally honest with what I think about the world. Whether it may be hypocritical or correct is entirely up to the reader. If you don't like what you read then go read something else.

Now as for the title of my blog: "The Beast That Shouted I At The Heart Of The World" to those Eva freaks like me that is the final episode of Evangelion. In that episode everything seemingly comes together in observing what happens in our world. Shinji eventually comes to terms with why humans exist and his existence in a harsh world. I explain the harshness of our world in hopes that it will all come together into some epithany when I grow up.

About the Author, Jeff Wong (strangers and acquantinces call me Jeff, I'm Jeffrey to my family and when I refer to myself) age:depends who's asking, ethnicity: Chinese. Hobbies include video games, anime and eating. Occupation:ex-clerical assistant (quit in June), ex-Anbu black op, currently employed as a wandering ninja. Enrolled in Cal State Long Beach. I've lived a harsh life, I have very little friends and many enemies. I can describe myself as a brooding loner, but an overall nice guy inside. I'm a funny guy too, I like to make my family laugh since I get into awkward situations all the time.

Now that you know a little more about me and what I plan to do here online there won't be too many surprises. I'll warn you that aside from me complaining about the world there will be fillers about anime ideas and anime/video game reviews. So thats what I'm all about.

The Morons On Four Wheels

Driving, its a child's dream to one day take the wheel of a car. To many it symbolizes independence and power. To those of my readers that drive I ask one question and I'm going to be brutally honest here: why are you all a bunch of morons who don't follow the rules of the road? It's moronic people who are in a rush and who think about distracting thoughts (Did I leave my kid in the oven? Where are my car keys?) that make driving a chore and fearful experience to me. Go ahead laugh at me, so I'm scared of driving. But hear this there are people out there who don't come out of their house thier entire lifetime, who are afraid of the sight of an egg and are terrified of turtles (Love Hina =P).

The entire process of learning to drive is ridiculous. They make you learn what a stop sign is, what you should do if there are motorcyclists (they obivously have it much better than the people who drive). Now I've observed what people do, heres the basics of driving in a nut shell: stay in your lane, don't drive too fast don't drive too slow, red means stop green means go, don't hit people or cars. Do all that and you'll be fine. Maybe I'm making too much of this, but I do see a problem with driving in a world that is so hypocritical. You learn all this junk about the road, only to say yeah thats cool and begin to drive recklessly. So please next time you go out drive sanely please.

A look Into A Pitch III

Well its been a while for a continuation of looking into a pitch III. So here goes where I last left off. As you know the demon that chose Ryo as his vessel is one of the great demon generals. His name is Selpha the general of Chaos, his power was only second to the Demon Emporor's. For betraying his kind he was cursed to wear the helmet of trechery, it is a helmet that can never be removed and is a symbol of his betrayal. He is the highest class of demon, a perfect demon. I need to explain the classes of demons; the lowest class are the small mindless breed, the low class are the pawns these are the common types, next are the Yer class these demons are capable of some mastery or mastery of speech and have skills in either strength or spells, then comes the Decon class this class is considered general material they are ruthless and are born with complete mastery of weapons and magic they look almost human with the exception of having horns, pointed ears or fangs. The highest are the perfect demons; they are born with the same traits as decons only (ironically enough) look completely human. These demons are only born once every 1000 years, they can pass off as humans making them extremely dangerous to humans.

Now as for Ryo's love interest, Naoki Asai. Crescent High junior and one of the most popular girls at school. I know it sounds a bit cliche but bear with me. She lives the most normal life in a world of darkness. To Ryo she is the only reasonable one in the world they live in. Crescent High requires uniforms, yet nobody wears them except her and Ryo. Within her rests the soul of one of the most skilled angelic warriors of the Dark War. The warrior also happens to be the love of Selpha. But will the destinies of the two ever meet?

Disclaimer time! Now to my readers who absolutely hate my pitch ideas (you know who you are), sure some of these pitches may or may not sound good when you think about it most great anime started out as a simple idea with simple concepts at one time or another. So bear with me as I take a look into one of my favorite pitches that I'd like to build upon and I promise something more meaningful to point out about whats wrong with our world. If you enjoy these looks into a pitch III, then next entry will be about the seal warrior and the Shadow General so stay tuned.

A Wacky and Fun Vacation

Just got back from Mississippi, went to visit my grandparents, my uncle, and a few family friends. It was pretty fun and relaxing to go off into the country side of Vicksburg (where my grandparents live) so it was pretty quiet and peaceful. We spent two weeks there, and over those two weeks it was a wacky and fun time. One of my main discoveries was that not too many people in the south enjoy anime. Upon taking a trip down to a Best Buy in Jackson, the anime aisle was desolate. The prices were the same, only that there were plenty of copies of whatever anime you could name. I saw like a few people in the aisle, but it was so remote that you could probably conduct secret business transactions there. Speaking of anime it was the very same place I managed to snag a copy of the Love Hina complete collection. I got the last copy so sorry to anyone in the area that wanted it =P.

We spent the 4th there as well. We had a whole bunch of family friends over for barbeque (that how you spell it?) then we shot off some fireworks. Now the fireworks there aren't like the sissy stuff you'd find here in the west. Since its so humid there and its the south, they sell all sorts of illegal stuff. Explosives and you name it are all there. We had an interesting turn of events when we had a motar misfire so that a was loads of fun. All in all it was a good trip and it really meant a lot to my family down there. Since we only visit every year so our time there is special. To my grandparents its like all the major holidays smashed together into two weeks. Other than that its always good to be home here and in the south.
