Status Report

Wow it really has been a while since I posted something here hasn't it? Well long story short I've been a little busy working part time, passing of my rabbit (sleep well my sweet little boy) and most of all lack of proper inspiration. This post came up as I was watching some anime (don't worry I'm not going to throw in some lesson I learned from it because there wasn't one) its been one year since I've let go of my first love. Its a tragic love story that I alone will carry but that is the destiny of those who follow the path of a ninja. There were times I wonder if I should change the way I am or if I should just be content with living a single life. I suppose staying true to myself is better than becoming something I'm not. Then the feelings for the other girl showed up about halfway during the year. When I look back on it I find it ironic that we were around each other so much; getting a ride to school from my roommate, running into each other randomly on campus and working with each other that one time. Some of the posts that I've written leading up to this one have been about me wondering about the other, but struggling between my own physical feelings and the spiritual ones. I really think that this feeling arose from a physical feeling, but something inside my soul says to try to investigate it (though I could be wrong and its really my gut).

One instance of this is our personalities. I'm quiet and reserved and she's loud and extraverted. In the sad world I call reality these aren't traits that compliment each other. Therefore it pretty much equals not a chance. Though one moment emotionally for me was that one time I mentioned in a earlier post. Abridged version: she saw me in a combination of big stress and my strange anime withdrawal. Now most girls find my anime withdrawal as a strange thing (I need some kind of exposure to anime otherwise my day isn't complete) but she was fine with it which was surprising. She once told me that she watches some anime herself (and it wasn't the mainstream stuff either one series was one that I enjoyed a year back). Like I always say when a girl tells me this I find it attractive, because nerd love is good too. For some reason I was able to awkwardly show my real self and be accepted. Maybe this one incident was a fluke and probably shouldn't be a factor but it feels like I was able to reveal a part of myself to her.

Well that was the story of these past few months, what comes next I don't know. I suppose the real test is if I should do anything or not about these feelings. I may or may not see her that often due to the fact that I may be really busy with work. Though if God retains his sense of humor from these past few months then I just might be able to see her around (I guess you can say that we might be neighbors). So the ninja will once again boldly walk forward and confront these feelings of doubt and wonder. Perhaps I'll learn something once more from these feelings.

A Pitch XV

Well better late than never. This one's been cooking for quite a long time. This ones a little unique in a sense. Believe it or not this one is actually going to have a main female lead character. This was more or less inspired by a few anime series that I have watched such as Fullmetal Alchemist and a few others. Its taken quite a while to refine this one into something unique but hopefully its wait was worth it. Also this also ties in with the After Dark Story: Long Shot Song. You'll see in a little bit.

Cyborgs and androids; products of mankinds advancement in artificial beings. The year 2190, that line is no longer blurred with the revolutionary process called "Cyberization". Humanity is now able to integrate cybernetic augmentations and limbs naturally. It is no longer seen as inhuman to possess these cybernetic enhancements. This technology has given people second chances at life, by cyberizing body parts. With such a promising new technology an artificial island called Angel Island is created to be a city in which people can learn the trade of cyberization and to learn how to use them to thier full potential. However on this island people ahve gone far beyond simply using cyberization in medicine but for combat and military purposes. Cheza Yuan, a young Cyber mechanic, makes a living by herself repairing and tuning augments and replacement limbs while studying to become a master mechanic. However her peaceful life is about to be shattered when she encounters Haken Cault a mysterious class mate of hers who is trying to master his own physical augments. She unwittingly aids Haken after finding him outside her shop. Acting fast she immediately begins to repair his cyberized parts. However what she finds on Haken aren't ordinary cyberization parts. The parts are military grade combat parts that she has never seen. It becomes apparent that Angel Island is not just simply an academic city but a hidden military base developing cyberized soldiers called Bishops and Haken is prototype 100 and is being hunted by the other 99 prototypes.

Cheza also learns that Haken is a prominant leader of a underground resistance group called Amad, who oppose the development of cyberized super soldiers. It is up to Haken to rise up against the leaders of Angel Island and to change the face of the cyberized. However this cannot be done without the help of Cheza. For she holds the future of the revolution in her hands by supporting Haken.

Behind every great man, there is a greater woman.

Cyberlution

In case you didn't catch it I mentioned cyberization in the after dark story, while that instance was a early type of cyberization there will be some pretty crazy augments/prostectic limbs in this series that evolved from it. So thats a pitch XV now to think of something for XVI.
