*Squints* I can't see much... it's all yellow

I like it, it's very Sean-ish. =D The hair wins. =D

Oh never mind, school computers are bad, I can see more than the eyes now nice

Seanx1: Simple actually, there is one picture shown of Sean

Here we go, I just want to make an announcement.

Right, I've been writing stories ever since I could pick up a pencil, no joke. I love stories. But this has got to be the most scrambled story I've ever tried to write. Why? Simply because I'm not doing all of it myself, I'm not creating the characters myself, I haven't fashioned the backstory myself, nor the setting or ambitions. Setting it out though, is kinda a jumble, I don't write things on paper. I know, it's stupid, but I prefer everything I need to do with the storyline in my head. The rest, of course, can go on paper.

Well, here's why I'm writing this. I've been thinking over the last couple of days how I'm going to begin this. Do any of yous want to read smack-bang, this happened, then this happened then this happened etc. or something that's thought out. Something like watching a movie and reading a book at the same time. Well, in the shower, I thought about how this is gonna play out to actually cause some effect.

Firstly, it's unwise to begin a story with all the characters there at the same time, especially if you have alot of them. It proves each of them more distinguished and unique if as we go, they join up in different ways. So, I thought about how I'm going to set this out. No twists yet, but I've got the basic idea. I've just scribbled down how it'll start.


Prologue + Chap 1

Chapter One
23rd June Year 2400 A.D England
Sean, an orphan of fifteen, lives in a tumble-down orphanage on the margin of a ruined village, all that remains of once a great city[insert name]. One night it is bombarded by a team of bizarre soldiers, heavily armed, slaughtering every woman, man and female child. The boys between the age of ten and seventeen are set in single file and given a blood test among the carnage on the streets, all except Sean who watches from a rooftop. When he overhears the fact that the boy they were looking for was not here, he acknowledges the possibility of it being him. He leaves just as the soldiers kill off the rest of the boys in the village, slipping down the roof and disappearing into the wasteland; nowhere to go and nowhere to turn back to. He travels for days (don't worry, I'll make sure this part won't drag) throughout the barren landscape, trying to avoid rogue mechanical devices that have been left forgotten but still functioning after years of war. He goes on until he finds himself in a graveyard of "extinct" machines of war (which are MASSIVE). He nearly collapses when he glimpses a girl (really weird, stupid, clumsy, guess who?) running from a gap between the mechanical giants towards him. She trips (lol) and just as he's about to loose consciousness(sp) he looks up to see her propped on her elbows infront of him with silhouettes shouting from behind. Then he passes out.

After that, he finds out the silhouettes are Kotorchief (the director of XIII -- leader), Dark Dragon (the muscle) and Sj (the mysterious one). And of course, me (the weird klutz). After several events (fights, meet ups with other XIII and characters, some creatures I just made up) Kotorchief leads them to the [name pending] which is like a city built from war scraps upon metal wheels, each about 100 feet high. Here is their haven, they share it with other humans, but it's the safest place to live and here they can make a living by committing crimes for gangs. It moves because it can't stay in one spot, not enough water/food. And there is plenty of places to move because either 1) the earth somehow increases about ten times its size or 2) we might have to take them to another planet that's larger. It's here on this city where they get attacked multiple times, taken away ... etc etc, I won't ruin the rest

Well, all the parts that you've never heard of before and you're part of the staff, I made up in the shower (alot of inspiration comes to me from there ... o.O)

And also, I'M ALL EARS FOR ANY ONE'S IDEAS and if you're someone like Flesh who thinks there's not gonna be any more spots, don't worry, I think there'll be alot of interesting places to come

So yes, it's gonna get more and more complex. We've finally got it down. Satanus XIII Svechi finally can start getting into action. Good things take time, I'm gonna work on the first characters in chap 1 and then straight into storyboarding, you hear?? Once that's done, *polishes palms* the website will be up, and the revolution of SXIIIS can finally begin.

Well I should have said something by now, but I like it. The introduction is quite interesting, I do also enjoy your adjectives. ^.^ I don't know what else to say, I'll have constructive thoughts when I am processing smoothly again sometime in the next century. Lovely word, process. Amusing to say as well. Process.

Almost forgot, you said you wanted me to speculate something?

*facepalm* come on, I get it, that's almost as bad as your "What is testosterone?" almost

very nice, looks like she's about to rip someone's head off lol and you learned something that I didn't know about computers ^.^ it's a good day now! lol

Oh my god! It's that glare I always give you!!! I look exactly like me! Heehee you never cease to amaze me. ^.^

Yes really, (to both because I'm not sure what you're asking about lol)

You know the one that I can only hold for about thirty seconds before breaking down and smiling. Lol... I think it looks cool. My hair is the length it was before it was cut and h bangs are a nice flair.

*shrug* it worked better than tinypic did... I don't know how that counts as mastermind... *scuffs shoe on the ground*

Looks good, you can tell that Sean is smoking something there and the panels show great promise

*shrug* (been doing a lot of that as of late... both here and in "real life" )

I'd say that's an ash tray or soda can..

Scared of me? Why is that? Lol... My hair is about three to four inches when coming out of a pony tail. When its down it just comes past my collar bone. Kinda resting there I suppose.The bangs on my left side (as you know I generally only have bangs on one side) go nearly to the hollow of my neck. Lol...

I really love the way you draw hands... and arms... I've always thought that if you could draw a hand then you could do anything... and you pretty much have it... They're all really amazing though.

caterpillar Silv all of your artwork is epic fivefold.

And mine is epic tenfold because it's me >;3

And that priceless facial expression.

This is going to sound like an insult, but I thought the last two pictures on the first page were still angel. (Until I read otherwise xD) >.< Facepalm moment.

That said, I recognize him now from that early picture. I can see you, sean, in the character's facial expression. That's pretty cool. =)
angel character looks like angel. I guessed that w/out looking. =P
topa character looks basically quite cute. xD
And that's the extent of my artistic criticism abilities. =P
Basically, I like times 3.

*epic facepalm* He looks nothing like me... >.<

Lol. How many pictures of me have you even seen? I think you've gotten more of the random animals at my house than of me. Lol...
TOPA! I love her eyes ^.^ They look frightened and shy. Its really adorable.

Arya: Hee ^_______^ I don't think I'd attack you unless you really made me mad or if I was playing. Which would be great fun. Unless you count tackle hugs attacking. Haha...

Silver is prolly one of the best artists I've met... and I'm friends with a lot of the art students at school. ^.^

I think the eyes are great. Kinda looks like dis smilie: O.o hehe... Which looks really funny like that. Like Ritsu from Fruits Basket... Lol...

The hair looks like you have fun drawing it lol

Do post more. ^.^

Silver those are awesome! Nida kinda reminds me of Katara, and Angel scares me lol
