New RP?

[Ronnie]

This is for the RP whores such as myself ;]...and I'm not promising starting this new one anytime soon...perhaps in a couple of weeks or so at the earliest...

You can choose two.....cuz there are so many choices @_@

Utopia 2: same idea as in my story..It was an RP back in SM...when SM was actually cool...In short, it's about a future where there is a new Goliath virus...that infects boys [and now girls as well..to a certain degree...giants still outnumber giantesses...cuz the virus just started infecting girls as well....] and causes them to grow [they are born with it by the way......the virus...disease...whatever...]

A Friend in Need: Basically there are a group of friends and one of the friends would randomly start growing...I'd probably be the giant friend ..just to avoid conflict...

Along the Border = This is set in a modern setting however in a different dimension or planet or whatever you would like to call it. In this world, there are two races: The Ronans (giants) and the Samites(regular sized people so to speak). The setting is the border between the two territories (They are separated and generally not allowed to cross unless there is political or diplomatic matters) However, a group of Ronans sneak across the border and kidnap a group of Samites. Thus, the RP is set up. Both the Ronans and Samites can either be male or female. The age range is from early teens to mid twenties (14-25). This is just to prevent awkwardness.

Macross RP....based off the Anime...Macross...which I know nothing about ...so look it up people's if your curious...This idea is Birdie's

Faerie RP: A group of faeries are transported to the human realm where they captured and sold as pets...however some escaped....so you could play either a human, an escaped faerie, or a captured faerie...This is Fang's idea...

Me and My Giant: A group of young adults are going through a forest [for some reason or another] and run into a giant....The giant [played by either myself or Stray cuz it's her idea...] will actually be from another realm...or something....idk...they won't be experiments though like they were in the Me and my Giant RP in SM....

I voted for mine and AFIN. Because i'm lame lol

[natalie]

[jon]

[LightHeart]

Faeries and Utopia 2

awww...no one likes Macross? >; ' { ...lol.......guess that the idea was a little vague to begin
with......if there was interest I think that I came up with something to expand it....*shrug*

[nocturnalbirdie]

you have the original Macross series?.........Im so jealous...=_='....Ive been trying to find it online in a version thats watchable, but that doesnt exist! so now I have to wait till its my turn to get it from Blockbuster online...which is gonna take forever and a day...>_<

...I like Frontier alot too. I havent completely finished it yet but the animation and art style are really cool.

[nocturnalbirdie]

huh....I think everything Ive read online only talks about her becoming human sized.......it really gets changed that much in the
American version? that kinda sucks......

[jaco]

Yep, They also expanded the story for Max and Miria in the US series.

In The Japanese version, After the epic dogfight between them, you dont see Max or Milia again until the final battle to try and save earth, and that is when you see Max as a Zentradi with milia using a Zentradi (Actually it is a Meltrani) fighter like hers, only his is Blue.

Also, in the Japanese version, the Zentradi (Males) and the Meltrani (females) are at war with each other, they dont work together but seprately as they do in the US version

[nocturnalbirdie]

huh.....now Im even more jealous that u have the series..D;<

....it really kinda seems that the American version was a butchered version of the original...=_='

[jaco]

Both are great. The only thing I disliked about the American version is the terrible songs they give Minmay, I would have rather they just left the Japanese songs with subtitles. The songs they gave her for the Harmony Gold version just made me hate the girl early on!!

Thank God they had Rick decide on Lisa Hayes at the end.

Also the only thing I disliked about Frontier was the age regression problem Klan Klang had when she micronized. And I always wondered why Michael never simply used the Protoculture chamber to grow to her size so they could be together.

Fun anime series. Macross will always be one of the three pillars of anime.

[jon]

Is that cartoon really - really good? I think it's easy to get the original version where I am. I just don't know if they would have English subtitles. Probably Japanese and Chinese only and now I really want to watch it

[jaco]

You can find the American version of the series here, j

www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/dummy/watch/v16108187t6ekFenF

This is episode one, not sure if they have anymore of them or not.

Just understand, this is a very old anime, so compared to the new stuff they make, (Even the latest Macross series, "Frontier" is far better graphically) the animation is dated. But the storyline is great, especially if you are into Giants vs Humans. The alien fighter craft are actually quite often heavily armed and jet pack equipped armoured suits, while the UN SPACY, Earth's defense force relies on Valkyrie Jet fighters that can turn into giant robots in order to give earth the chance to fight the Giant Zentradi when the action is close up.

Hope that helps, You can find or order boxed DVD sets at just about any video store.

They had an interesting Faerie RP on Min's...

And the Border one would work the best in a pre-industrial society (kidnappings and cross border raids were key elements in most Celtic, especially Irish legends and histories)

I do miss the jacobia idea though. Dolly would jump on that if she were here =-)

[jon]

Thank you jaco. Looks quite cool. I'll try to get it here. In China you can get all kinds of videos, very cheap, I dont know if its legal though... Ill look for it

My current story, "A small Place in the Sun", while it is all fresh with my own Characters and storyline. It's foundation and my first ideas on it came from an RP I started over a year ago as an interactive storyline I shared with a few others.

If there is interest I wouldn't mind resurrecting it as an RP taking place 2 to 5 years from where the story currently resides. During the second major conflict. Starting it as a story focusing on new recruits who sign on to be pilots/soldiers in the Jacobian Military.

Hey, I haven't seen you in ages! I've been looking for you on YIM! ^_^

Glad I could help, While it was "Gigantor" that was my first experiance with Japanese Anime cartoons, it was "Space Battleship Yamato" (StarBlazers here in America) and Macross (Robotech in the US) That really started me loving Anime!!! And I still do! ;D

Where to even start here!!! So much happened last year in my personal life. Some you know, like my Mum. 2008 was an emotional rollercoaster of deep and terrible downs and spiraling and dizzying Ups. It ended up I wasnt even home for a very long time, and I withdrew from alot of things. Depression was bad, and I have never suffered depression before. I didnt write for 7 months.

When I decided to return to the internet, so much time had passed, I felt that saying "sorry" to you and Toidan for being out of touch for so long was not enough, I felt so bad. I didnt know how to "come back" is the best way to put it.

Anyway I am here, my YIM doesnt work, and, I do apologize for staying out of touch and I am sorry!!!

You guys have been in my thoughts of late, it's easy to see since I started writing a new story based on the roleplay we started last year!! ;D

Thanks for looking for me!! You and Toidan and Penny are/were/are (Im confused) my best friends from Min's

I miss my white Rabbit suit!!

That's usually the case for English-dubbed anime. The voice actors tend to kind of butcher the characters with the voices.
