Anyway, I'll update this thread should there be any changes. And yes, discuss if you can.

"End Of All Hope", and "Tainted Crimson" are the experimental stages of me making a fantasy based prose.

If any of you guys have any ideas or suggestions 'logical to the prose, mind you', please do state down. It could help me in one way or another should I just suddenly run out of steam. However, the characters are still in the process of development, with Hrist going for the 'serious' type with a minor complex while Bristol as the 'relaxed' type. Others, I'm not too sure, but Scarla would probably be a cross of both, but without the complex part.

By the way, it seems that this thread is starting to become like my own blog of sorts... *winces*

Don't sweat it. No one ever vomitted from blogging--I think. If it keeps you writing, then go for it. And I hope this story works out for you.

I could use something like this myself. My motivation is high, but my writing flow has gone down the drain. Grinding out every single word is getting frustrating. So maybe I'll use you as my inspiration.

By the way. When did you turn Extreme? Have I really been gone that long?

Edit*

And I just realized how old this thread was.

But in any case, it's been a long time since you dropped by, Dice. The only thing I can hope for you is not doing the 'Darket'. Darket's back, but... never heard from him since... And as for me, ever since you were on hiatus, I soldiered on till now, very much like a lone mercenary.

In any way... to my... mini blog.

Bloodfest

-10th Chapter is on its way with 11th Chapter already in mind, and from the looks of it, I might bring Hell for a while just to keep the story title relevant. Oh yes, the 'Tokyo Battalions' feel will be there, big time. :P

And about Darket, I didn't even know he returned. I hope that guy is all right. But anyway, I don't think I'll be doing the same as he did. Because I've decided to handle this site differently. My more serious works will be kept offline to avoid that pressure, since I'm more relaxed when I know I'm not posting it here. Everything I post here will be just for fun and experimentation, with no outline -- just like the old Strike Me Down days. I'll still take the story seriously, and happily accept CC, but I'm really just winging it and letting the story fly.

Bloodfest sounds like an interesting fantasy story. I might give it shot. Either that, or Touge Racer. Heck, maybe I'll read both. I don't have a ton of time anymore, so I can't promise anything. But good luck with everything.

Anyway, a funny thing happened. In the middle of the night, I wrote a short romance story. It's my first time ever writing for the romance genre, oddly enough. I'm proud of it, especially the twist to it.

What happened to Shattered Entity? I liked that story. Tessa Schneider was such a great character, I still remember her name after all this time. And that's saying a lot.

Heck, even if you read on 'Bloodfest', don't be surprised if you see a character very similar to Tessa, who goes by the name of Taras Vassily, the one who had the remnants of the original 'Tokyo Battalions' stint (I meant the often crazed nature of characters).

But if you insist of seeing Tessa in action, drop by to an experimental fantasy prose of mine titled 'End Of All Hope'. It is only a 4-part short story, and the prequel is on hold for the time being, titled 'Tainted Crimson'. Hope that provides you the need to see your Tessa, :P

Come to think of it, you're the second person asking where Tessa ad gone to.

Yeah, this is Dice. I had forgotten about this account. I'm considering trying to revive the group. I'm just not sure how to go about it. Or what the group's purpose would even be, other than trying to help each other improve. I think making it aka Meteor-Infinity--with a ton of collaboration--would be a mistake, because we saw how that went downhill.

Any ideas would be welcome.

And yeah, maybe I'll check out those stories. It would be cool to see Tessa destroying things again.

Who else asked about Tessa? I'm curious.

UPDATE:

Chapter 10 is finally up, 11th chapter is undergoing a big change, most probably concentrating more development on Scarla and Bristol before turning to Victoria and Felix.

The characters I seriously need to work on...

- Hrist Aegis

- Taras Vassily

- Maverick Nightwing

- Aesir Frost

But currently concentrating on...

- Bristol Silverlake

- Scarla Turgen

- New Character

And to give some idea on how I write and did the plotting, most of the times I'm inspired by one band of the NWOBHM; Black Sabbath. However, the songs used are the ones only when Tommi Iommi was the vocal of the band. The next probable theme song of Bloodfest might be 'Valhalla' from the group.

Here's some facts/trivia about the current characters...

Hrist Aegis

-----------

- Name taken from two characters in Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. They are Hrist, the eldest valkyrie, and Aegis, a sorcerer.

Bristol Silverlake

------------------

- Name taken from a character in Radiata Stories. It's from Ridley Silverlake, the surname is used.

- Appearance is inspired from Muza in Thousand Arms.

Scarla Turgen

-------------

- Surname is inspired by a location in Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. The place in the said game is called Turgen Mines.

- Appearance is heavily inspired by Gardenia in .hack games.

Taras Vassily

-------------

- Appearance is of the same template as Tessa Schneider (One of my very first characters, currently under going altering), but altered heavily to represent nothing similar to her.

- Inspired lightly by Sadako from The Ring

- Her position as a Cossack was inspired by an RTS game titled 'Cossacks: back To War'

Rebecca Swindon

---------------

- Appearance is inspired by a blonde drifter NPC in Wild Arms 4, named Annie.

- Name is taken from Wild Arms 4, by a brunette drifter NPC called Rebecca.
