NAME: Reikou (alias)
AGE: 20
BASIC INFO (about me/my stories): I am a poet and a supernatural/fantasy author. I write things that defy the laws of physics because I like to come up with my own world. I daydream a lot—that's how I come up with most of my stories. I will write nearly anything. Anything but horror. I can't write that; I can barely stand it. I like plot twists and cliffhangers. Don't ask why, I just do, but only if I'm the one writing them. Why yes, I already know I'm a hypocrite. Aren't we all? Anyway, I tend to reuse a few terms and last names but that's only cause last names are really hard to come up with and the terms usually have the same meaning and context so why not? I've also begun to have the habit of connecting some of my stories through a common world/setting; I blame CLAMP for that influence. Also, be warned that some of my stories have homosexual characters in them so if that makes you feel uncomfortable, then please don't read them. I am not forcing you to.

Also, you have to know this before you read ANY of my stories: those published BEFORE March 2006 are going to be seriously horrible. Like they've been written by someone who had no idea how the English language worked and didn't care how awful the story sounded. Which was probably true back then. The poems are generally alright so I don't care about them. However, the stories (one-shots and multi-chaptered) are absolutely awful. So this is a warning. DON'T READ THE STORIES (POEMS EXCLUDED) PUBLISHED BEFORE MARCH 2006. If you want to, then read at your own risk, because I get embarrassed just looking at them and the reason why I haven't deleted them is because they're there to remind myself to never. ever. do. something. like. that. ever. again.

For my LJ, go here. I also have a tumblr if you're interested. I tend to be on tumblr more often than Livejournal these days, however.

(Thursday, September 27th, 2012) It sorta pains me to say it, but since The Rose Series is sorta old, and no one really reads it...I'm just going to move on now. Maybe I'll update it, but it's no longer my first priority. Which is a shame because I've come up with so much for the series, creating this whole world for it, but since no one reads it, I guess I won't be writing as much now. /shrugs/ Meh. So I'll be concentrating more on Avalon, The Colors of Legend, and Poker Game now. I've already written a lot of excerpts for the first, several chapters for the second, and I'm currently working on the second chapter for the third (and they're longgggg). So yeah, that's basically it. Oh, and my birthday was on the twentieth! Happy me.

CURRENT PROJECTS

NONE AT THE MOMENT

IN THE NEAR AND DISTANT FUTURE

The Life of a Girl with the Famous Family

Kotaro and Hideki Tendou were brothers working in the entertainment business; the former was in a boyband and the latter was a model and actor. Fangirls scream when they see them and the media stalks their every move. Their parents were also famous, with a mother who's a fashion model and a father who's a photographer. Yet, no one seems to have realized there is a fifth member in the family. Akari Tendou is a high school student who avoids socializing, looks like a boy, and hates fangirls. She likes her anonymity and goes through great lengths to make sure no one knows who she's related to. But then she loses her wallet, and the one who found it is Keita Takai, her charismatic classmate who wants to test just how far she would go to make sure he doesn't tell everyone her secret.

Boundaries

A red scarf and a bright smile were what stood out in his mind of the girl who had given him that loaf of bread. Xavier did everything he could to find that girl dressed in fine silk and shining jewelry, but his search had been unsuccessful for over ten years. In that time, he had joined an underground organization that wants the rulers to pay better attention to the people, calling themselves Requiem. One day, there is a buzz in the air when a group comes back from their mission with a prisoner—a young woman called Shion who is apparently the Thirteenth Consort of His Majesty the Emperor Rushi. And the one Xavier has been searching for. When he is put in charge of supervising her, Xavier will find his beliefs shaken and that the future may depend on their bond with each other.

Synchronicity

Long ago, a dragon wrecked havoc in the land, until the song of a young girl was able to calm it down to the point of slumber. Since then, a girl would be chosen to sing for the dragon until her death, and then the cycle continued. When he was five years old, Aaron watched as his twin sister Adelaide was taken away to fulfill her new role as the Dragon's Songbird. However, the Lullaby hasn't been working and no one knows why. Now sixteen years old, Aaron swears to find his twin and take her away to live with him in peace. As he tries to find the Dragon's hideout, he is joined by Ellis, a writer who was imprisoned for some of the topics he had been writing; Mia, a general on leave for personal reasons; and Caleb, a mysterious man who changes his story every minute. Their journey will not be easy due to Ellis being a wanted man and Caleb having many enemies who want him dead, but Aaron refuses to give up until he is reunited with Adelaide.

Star Crossed

The Murasaki family and the Yamaguchi family have been enemies ever since that Incident fifty years ago. Everyone knew to stay clear whenever the two were in the same area. Hinageshi Murasaki went to Yamaguchi Academy and made a point to keep out of trouble, wanting nothing to do with the feud. A school festival brought her and playboy Masato Yamaguchi together, creating sparks and perhaps an end to the feud. But this Romeo and Juliet story comes with its own twists and turns, such as a reserved Tybalt named Jun who distrusts all men, a kindhearted Benvolio named Tsubaki who wants Masato to be happy, an easygoing Mercutio named Fuyuki who likes to manipulate others, and a hot-tempered Paris named Noritaka who really wants Hinageshi by his side. Can Masato and Hinageshi get their happily ever after? And what happened fifty years ago that began this in the first place?

The Stone's Guardian

The holy country of Solaris has seen a dramatic increase in demonic attacks and everyone is worried they have been forsaken by the gods. Help comes in the form of the Seven Stone Holders, seven people who each hold a blessed stone that grants them powers. However, one of them is a Holder on accident. Seventeen-year-old Jeremy was on an errand when he comes across the dying Water Stone Holder who gives the Stone to him, passing onto him the title of the Healer, the Guardian of Life. With his new companion, a talking rabbit sent by the gods named Ela, Jeremy must head to the capital for an official announcement of his role. But along the way, he has to get rid of demons, prove that he is worthy to be a Stone Holder, and fulfill his new position's duties, which involves healing anyone in need.

Underneath the Underneath

Caroline had an average life, one she could complain about but not give up. It wasn't complicated like her friends', but sometimes she wished for a bit of excitement, something new. Well, she got it, in the form of a man her age with attractive looks, a "charming" personality, and a bit of a mysterious side. Elian was his name, and he was the twin brother of her boyfriend Jael. Caroline didn't understand why he was disowned or why Jael said he had a twisted personality, seeing how he has been nothing but a gentleman to her. But then Elian got angry when she rejected his kiss, and that was when she realised that maybe there was a dark side to him. And that she needed to get away. However, it seemed that Elian was determined to have her, something about ruining Jael's life after everything the latter had done to him. Caroline wants to figure out what happened eight years ago that caused this whole mess, but Jael is surprisingly tight-lipped about it and Elian will only tell her if she broke up with Jael. It seems she'll have to use her wits to solve this, but will she like what she'll find?

The War Phoenix

ZhanFeng's father's gambling problems meant she had to cut corners whenever she could and hide the money she had. She had to work extra hours at her job as a waitress in order to pay the bills and her college tuition. It didn't help that her older brother had cut all ties, her father was also an alcoholic, and her mother was in the hospital permanently due to her illness. Then one of her father's debtor came to collect what he owed, and among them was ZhanFeng herself, after her father lied that she was a martial arts master and could be some use to them. However, she knew nothing about fighting except from movies and shows, but no one believes her after seeing her defeat ten guys at once due to luck. So she was assigned to be one of the bodyguards of Marlone, leader of one of the largest gangs in the city. With a storm coming, ZhanFeng needs to watch her back as the other gangs want to take Marlone down and most of the time, the bodyguards go down first.

Gods' Crossing

Unlike the people in her manga, Megumi Kamiya loves her ability to see what normal people can't. It started when she was lost in the woods near her house and was rescued by a kitsune. Or maybe it started before that, when she was practically raised by spirits because of her mother's distant personality. Either way, she loved her Sight and appreciated all the friends she has made because of it. Then, just a week before her seventeenth birthday, her home was visited by a seven-tailed fox who is there to claim Megumi as his bride. Apparently, she'd accidentally accepted his proposal when she was young! As she deals with the new addition to the household (and her love life), Megumi also must deal with old friends, new enemies, and a prophecy she just learned about.

Sanctuary

The city of Sanctuary was ruled by five people: the ruthless LiaoFu, the Casanova Samuel, the hot-tempered Ella, the uncaring Marion, and the knowledgeable Miu. The balance between them was delicate and everyone knew that one wrong move could ignite a gang war. Even the King knew better than to interfere with the dealings in the large city. One day, there was an assassination attempt on Samuel and accusations flew to the point of a massacre that involved several civilians. Unable to ignore this, the King sent a group of his soldiers to aid the local police in their investigation. Leading them is twenty-six-year-old Adrian, the youngest general ever and a veteran of the Third Great War. A snarky and antisocial man, he hopes to finish this case quickly so he can go back to the capital and not remain in the city of corruption. Working with him is the captain of the local police, Morgan. Thirty-two years old, he has lived in the city all his life and knows most of the inner workings. He doesn't want this case to end because it's one of the more interesting ones that landed on his desk. Sanctuary is an unforgiving city where anything goes and nothing can prepare them for what they may find. Adrian and Morgan have seen many things, but they may discover things they won't want to know.

AVALON

Drew is a friendly and slightly air-headed college student trying to get a job to pay the bills. Then she gets approached by a man named Paul Spanner who knows of her secret ability to manipulate water. Drew has no idea how, but she certainly doesn't want to join the secret government group Avalon to fight some evil organization called Nemesis. She has school and bills to pay! But when she learns that she'll get rewarded quite well for her services...well, she may rethink that offer. What's even better is that some of her own friends are members so she won't be completely alone. So as she learns new ways to use her power, Drew also has to keep up the guise of a normal college student while protecting the people from the doings of Nemesis. But it might be a bit more complicated than it all appears, as she realises that she may not know her friends as well as she thinks.

I Just Got Here!

League of Legends is a popular online computer game that has been sweeping the world. Glen, Alyssa, Damien, Sean, and Charles are friends who play the game and aren't that bad at it. In fact, they are apparently good enough that Sean believes they could form a ranked team and participate in tournaments. Glen is worried, Alyssa is indifferent, Damien is skeptic, and Charles think it'll be fun. However, they all eventually agree and their team name was decided to be "Team I Just Got Here", after the phrase they say the most when in game. As they go up (and down) the rank ladder, the five will encounter arrogant douchebags, rude assholes, annoying QQers, amazingly awesome players, and wonderful (?) surprises. Will Team LeCry, as they shortened it, ever be among the top teams or even become as good as the members? They're certainly going to try.

The Goddesses of the East

Absolute is an all-girl group from Avex Entertainment with five members: the boyish leader Rei, the flirtatious rapper Kimiko, the shopaholic dancer Kotori, the quiet soprano Midori, and the calm lyricist Aya. Since their debut in July 2013, they have reached international fame, nicknamed the Goddesses of the East. From a few months before their debut to present day, this is the story of how five strangers whose personalities clashed became the international superstars whose bond could survive any obstacles in their way.

The Flowers of the Seasons

In this world, there were cities built near or above a portal to Hell and an organization called the Guardians' Guild was formed to prevent anyone from crossing through. Miyuri Hiwatari admired her older sister Haruka and wanted to be just like her. But then Haruka disappeared, leaving behind a devastated Guild, a mourning family, and a seat on the Guild's Board of Commanders. Several years have passed and Miyuri managed to become a Commander, succeeding after her sister. Although one of the youngest Commanders ever, she is more concerned about finding her sister than the rise in demonic activity. However, the two might be connected and Miyuri is dragged into something even more than she imagined.

MY HEART

Mikoto Suzuhara lived in an orphanage after losing her parents when she was five. All she wished for was her family back. One day, she accidentally crosses path with Touya, the lead vocalist of the well-known boy band PRINCE. Her life then takes a turn when Touya suddenly announces that she would be in their newest MV and be their new "slave". Now the envy of fangirls everywhere and the errand girl for PRINCE, Mikoto finds herself falling for the reckless guitarist, Hojo. However, there's one definite good thing about all the excitement that suddenly flooded into her life: she may have finally found her family with the hyperactive singer Touya, the flirty leader Aya, the two-faced bassist Ran, and the quick-tempered drummer Eito.

Pinky Swear

When Eri found and picked a bracelet off the sidewalk, she did not expect to hear a voice in her head that told her how relieved it was to finally be able to talk to someone again. She then discovers that the voice belongs to a god that was sealed in the bracelet by a powerful demon king. After making a promise that she will help him find his name so he can be released, Eri finds that her free time is now filled with having to deal with those who want the bracelet for their own purposes. Even if Eri doesn't know how to fight the supernatural, she knows that she should always keep her promises, no matter how annoying the sealed god might be.

StarGazer

San Francisco was home to all sorts of people. Daniel was just one of the more normal ones. Then he was introduced to StarGazer, the most popular virtual reality MMORPG, by his best friend Denny and started playing it with much reluctance. As he becomes friends with various eccentric players, such as the easygoing Shiro, the quiet Tsukiyo, and the blunt Mal, Daniel also befriends someone who's not registered in the game as a player, a NPC, or anything else. Why is Romeo able to bend the rules of the game so much and why did he have to pick him to be his bodyguard against the "bad guys"?

The Colors of Legend

In this part of the country, there is a well-known legend called The Six Demons and the Priest, in which a priest defeated six powerful demons by using various tricks and six children. Kagami Akatsuki is a descendant of that priest, and thinks of the legend as nothing more than an over-exaggerated retelling of something his ancestor had done. However, when he is paired up with Kinha Minami for a field trip, he learns that the legend is indeed true, with just one thing: his ancestor never defeated the demons—he merely sealed them away into six children, cursing their bloodline forever. And Kinha is a descendant of one of them. After nearly getting killed by the demon she's holding, Kagami wants to avoid the other demon holders who may or may not want revenge for what his ancestor did. But there's a group out there called Mugetsu who wishes to kill the demon holders, and Kagami is dragged into it for being Kinha's friend.

The Forseti Gene

There was a family where each member held what was called the Forseti gene, something that gave you supernatural abilities. It was transferable through blood and it was because of that reason that there were those who seek to capture a Forseti, even if the chance of surviving the blood transfer was extremely low. Seventeen-year-old Derek Rain lived alone as his older brother Matthias traveled around to find someone. Then one day, Matthias stopped sending letters after he wrote one that said he was almost at his goal, so Derek set off to find him. All he knew was that his brother was searching for someone with the Forseti gene. So when Derek learned that a woman by the name of Freya Reynolds could help him, he jumped at the chance for a lead. Only problem was that she was a blood-thirsty mercenary and thus completely uninterested in helping him. Undaunted, he decided to just follow her around, knowing she would give in eventually. After all, what was the worst that could happen?

Poker Game

In this world, there is someone out there, called a Card, who has powers and would be Bound to you for the rest of your life. Their very existence is to wait for the one who can hear their Call so they can escape the world that is Auriga. At Carroll Academy, all new students attend a ritual that will help them unite with their Card. Kai was a sarcastic, anti-social boy who had problems with obeying rules. When he went through the ritual, he didn't expect a polite and friendly Card by the name of Lan to be Bound to him. As similar as night and day, Kai is now stuck having to deal with someone who hates violence and appears to have an affiliation with the insane ruler of Auriga, the Red Queen Beatrice.

The Other Side

There were once three friends in a time of war. One dreamed of uniting the world under one so there will be peace. Another dreamed of leaving the town to travel the world. The last dreamed of the three of them together forever. Now, the first is dead, the second trapped in a military base, and the third is doing all he can to fulfill their three dreams... in all the wrong ways. As he slowly gains power as general of the World Federation army Divinity, there is an organization called Astraea doing everything to stop the World Federation's control. However, this story isn't about the ones fighting against him. This is about the ones who fight with him, as members of Divinity.
