Subject: Regarding Your Interest

Dear Specter,

Thank you for your interest in the potential of the Omniverse Institute. It is always enriching to speak to another intellectual, especially if they see eye to eye. I am glad that you enjoyed the Monotruth; sometimes I grow concerned that the ideas I put forth in the text are difficult to understand. It is good to know that, at least to those with a broad mind, they are mentally legible.

I have heard the comparison of our detention within the Omniverse compared to being 'toys' of the Smiling One in the past. In the interest of intellectual discussion, I would posit that the reality is much worse. To me 'toy' would seem to indicated that The Smiling One takes an active part in interacting with us, even if it is on a condescending basis. Based on what I have observed, I feel that our Pale Overlord takes a much more lackadaisical approach in deriving his amusement from our torment and strife. Though he does specify that he has taken us into his Omniverse for the sole purpose that we 'interest him', I believe this interest is something more akin to that of interest in a pet, or a lab experiment. The Smiling One seems more than content to simply sit in his isolated world and let us wreak havoc on ourselves; he doesn't need to lift a finger.

But, please excuse my digression. I am elated to hear that you are willing to make a commitment to the unification of the Omniverse in the interest of fighting against that which gives The Smiling One his pleasure. Based on what I can glean of your nature from this limited medium, it appears to me that you would make an ideal candidate for the Unity Branch of the Institute, but this is by no means absolute. Please, feel free to use this channel to discuss our future decisions regarding your role inside the Institute. I look forward to hearing from you.

Stay safe,

Headmaster Nealaphh

Ladies and GENTLEMEN!!!!!






People of all ages...





I'm back.


I've chosen to post this here because I feel Retane is important here, I don't want anyone to go, 'When did he get back', or 'WTF is he doing?'

I feel I should explain where I've been, what has happened, and what I plan on doing... This isn't really an OOC thing...



Where I've been: Locked up, if you didn't know.


Why: Eh, I was driving, passing people, like I would do. Got pulled over by an off duty cop. I knew I was going to jail because I knew their was an arrest warrant for me in family court. The mother of my son told me I missed a court date I didn't know about in May. The court date was the 9th of April. They went to the wrong address it seems.

Here in South Carolina, they are dicks in Berkely County. I knew I was going for a year or six months. You wouldn't know how bad this affected me when it came to what it did last year. Yeah, last year I had to do 90 days for the same thing, if you didn't know.

Last Year: Easter Weekend, That Frida I was coming from KFC on a Moped. On the way home. TUrned and got hit. Hit hard enough to tear the moped in half. Me? Lol. Well Retane gets his strength from me =P THey sent me to get tested and I was fine. Just had a beer gut. Okay I had some ligament damage but that was it. I missed a court date I didn't know about.... THe cop came and told me they had a hold on me... ANd I wound up limping out the hospital that night to do that shit...

When I got released last year, I had done 48 on 90 days.

This year was alot different. I was trying. And EVERYTHING was going good for me.... Had the GIrl of my life, was playing magic, writing and working... I was only two months behind from where I was last year.... I was paying that much to catch up from when i was out of work.... Shit didn't matter...

Pfft.. Fuck me>_>

I only did 30 on 90 this time....

Could have been a lot worst I guess...


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


But I am back.....

I'm back and I'm in a mood of catching up.

I'm about to see whats going on with what ALEX and Kenny did with Retane, and see what is next... but as far as I am concerned... NOTHING has changed...

I'm about to ROLL FULL STEAM ahead with everything....


That means... Getting Kenny Back....

-Retane vs JAck Frost (The FIght)...
-Probitas THe Chronicles
- Gremlins
-D.O.I.
-TG Massacre
-5 faces of Retane..


-Ultimate Nightmare...

THey are all coming soon...

Quote:In this thread I intend to 'report' on major happenings within the Omniverse ever Wednesday. I'll cover what I consider to be the top four headlines of everything that's going on. People can also PM me Classified ads they'd like to be seen at the end of each week's column.

Keep in mind that, while certain events might be momentous, if they're not very public, they won't get any coverage. In addition, I can only report on scenes that have finished, meaning that I can't report on fights in progress...unless they're extremelt high profile. Then I might do a breaking news report.

Hello Omniverse! Nealaphh here.

Some of you may know that I have a background in Graphic Design, but what you may not know is that means I am also experienced in the ways of precision communication and message conveyance.

Part of my curriculum during college was learning about common language pitfalls that the English language possesses. Most of these result from either an attempt to over-communicate an idea, or, simple mutations in the common vernacular. Being that we are all authors who possess (I hope) a desire for better writing, I thought I'd share some of what I learned from one of my books.

Below I will list the example word or phrase in bold, and follow it with an explanation of how to resolve common misconceptions of their use. Read these to your heart's content, but keep in mind that some of these elaborations pertain primarily to formal writing, which is not always effective in entertaining literature, such as what we write. Still, I feel it is good to consider them when I am typing.

I will add more as I have time.

Without further ado...




Aggravate vs. Irritate. The first means "to add to" an already troublesome or vexing matter or condition. The second means "to vex" or "to annoy" or "to chafe".

All right. Idiomatic in familiar speech as a detached phrase in the sense "Agreed," or "Go ahead," or "O.K." It is properly written as two words - all right.

Allude. Do not confuse with elude. You allude to a book; you elude a pursuer. Note, too, that allude is not synonymous with refer. An allusion is an indirect mention, a reference is a specific one.

Alternate vs. Alternative. The words are not always interchangeable as nouns or adjectives. The first means every other one in a series; the second, one of two possibilities. As the other on of a series of two, an alternate may stand for "a substitute," but an alternative, although used in a similar sense, connotes a matter of choice that is never present with alternate.

Example: As the flooded road left them no alternative, they took the alternate route.

Among vs. Between. When more than two things or persons are involved, among is usually called for: "The money was divided among the four players." When, however, more than two are involved but each is considered individually, between is preferred: "an agreement between the six heirs."

And/Or. A device, or shortcut, that damages a sentence and often leads to confusion or ambiguity.

Examples: "First of all, would an honor system successfully cut down on the amount of stealing and/or cheating?"

versus

"First of all, would an honor system reduce the incidence of stealing or cheating, or both?"

Anticipate. Use expect in the sense of simple expectation.

Examples: "I anticipated that he would look older." versus "I expected he would look older."

also compare with:

"My brother anticipated the upturn in the market." versus "My brother expected the upturn in the market."

In the second example, the word anticipated is ambiguous. It could mean simply that the brother believed the upturn would occur, or it could mean that he acted in advance of the expected upturn - by buying stock, perhaps.

Anybody. In the sense of "any person," not to be written as two words. Any body means "any corpse," or "any human form," or "any group." The rule holds equally for everybody, nobody, and somebody.

Anyone. In the sense of "anybody," written as one word. Any one means "any single person" or "any single thing."

As good or better than. Expressions of this type should be corrected by rearranging the sentences.

Example: "My opinion is as good or better than his." versus "My opinion is as good as his, or better (if not better)."

As to whether. Whether is sufficient.

As yet. Yet nearly always is as good, if not better.

"No agreement has been reached as yet." versus "No agreement has yet been reached."

Being. Not appropriate after regard ... as

"His is regarded as being the best dancer in the club." versus "He is regarded as the best dancer in the club."

But. Unnecessary after doubt and help.

"I have no doubt but that..." versus "I have no doubt that..."

"He could not help but see that." versus "He could not help seeing that."

The too-frequent use of but as a conjunction leads to the fault discussed under the former example. A loose sentence formed with but can usually converted into a periodic sentenced formed with although.

Particularly awkward is one but closely following another, thus making a contrast to a contrast, or a reservation to a reservation. This is easily corrected by rearrangement.

"Our country had vast resources but seemed almost wholly unprepared for war. But within a year it had created an army of four million."

versus

"Our country seemed unprepared for war, but it had vast resources. Within a year it had created an army of four million."

Can. Means "am (is, are) able." Not to be used as a substitute for may.

Care less. The dismissive "I couldn't care less" is often used with the shortened "not" mistakenly (and mysteriously) omitted: "I could care less." The error destroys the meaning of the sentence and is careless indeed.

Case. Often unnecessary.

"In many cases, the rooms lacked air conditioning." versus "Many of the rooms lacked air conditioning."

"It has rarely been the case that any mistake has been made." versus "Few mistakes have been made."

Certainly. Used indiscriminately by some speakers, much as others use very, in an attempt to intensify any and every statement. A mannerism of this kind, bad in speech, is even worse in writing.

Character. Often simply redundant, used from a mere habit of wordiness.

"...acts of a hostile character." versus "...hostile acts."

Claim (verb). With object-noun, means "lay claim to." May be used with a dependent clause if this sense is clearly involved: "She claimed that he was the sole heir." (But even here claimed to be would be better.) Not to be used as a substitute for declare, maintain, or charge.

"He claimed he knew how." versus "He declared he knew how."

Clever. Note that the word means not thing when applied to people, another when applied to horses. A clever horse is a good-natured one, not an ingenious one.

Compare. To compare to is to point out or imply resemblances between objects regarded as essentially of a different order; to compare with is mainly to point out differences between objects regarded as essentially of the same order. Thus, life has been compared to a pilgrimage, to a drama, to a battle; Congress may be compared with the British Parliament, Paris has been compared to ancient Athens; it may be compared with modern London.

Comprise. Literally, "embrace": A zoo comprises mammals, reptiles, and birds (because it "embraces," or includes them). But animals do not comprise ("embrace") a zoo–they constitute a zoo.

Consider. Not followed by as when it means "believe to be."

"I consider him as competent." versus "I consider him competent."

When considered means "examined" or "discussed," it is followed by as:

"The lecturer considered Eisenhower first as soldier and second as administrator."

Contact. As a transitive verb, the word is vague and self-important. Do not contact people; get in touch with them, or look them up, or phone them, or find them, or meet them.

Cope. An intransitive verb used with with. In formal writing, one doesn't "cope," one "copes with" something or somebody.

"I knew they'd cope." (jocular) versus "I knew they would cope with the situation."

Currently. In the sense of now with a verb in the present tense, currently is usually redundant; emphasis is better achieved through a more precise reference to time.

"We are currently reviewing your application." versus "We are at this moment reviewing your application."

Data. Like strata, phenomena, and media, data is a plural and is best used with a plural verb. The word, however, is has largely gained acceptance as a singular.

"The data is misleading." versus "These data are misleading."

Different than. Here logic supports established usage: one thing differs from another, hence, different from. Or, other than, unlike.

Disinterested. Means "impartial." Do not confuse it with uninterested, which means "not interested in."

"Let a disinterested person judge our dispute." (an impartial person)

"This man is obviously uninterested in our dispute." (couldn't care less)

Divided into. Not to be misused for composed of. The line is sometimes difficult to draw; doubtless plays are divided into acts, but poems are composed of stanzas. An apple, halved, is divided into sections, but an apple is composed of seeds, flesh, and skin.

Due to. Loosely used for through, because of, or owing to, in adverbial phrases.

"He lost the first match due to carelessness." versus "He lost the first game because of carelessness."

In correct use, synonymous with attributable to: "The accident was due to bad weather"; "losses due to preventable fires."

Each and every one. Contemporary jargon. Avoid, except in dialogue.

"It should be a lesson to each and every one." versus "It should be a lesson to every one of us." (to us all)

Effect. As a noun, means "result"; as a verb, means "to bring about," to accomplish (not to be confused with affect, which means "to influence").

As a noun, often loosely used in perfunctory writing about fashions, music, painting, and other arts: "a Southwestern effect"; "a charming effect was produced." The writer who has a definite meaning to express will not take refuge in such vagueness.

Enormity. Use only in the ensue of "monstrous wickedness." Misleading, if not wrong, when used to express bigness.

"It was difficult to grasp the enormity of the ship." versus "Amid the fire and the screaming, it was difficult to grasp the enormity of the situation."

Enthuse. An annoying verb growing out of the word enthusiasm. Not recommended.

"She was enthused about her new car." versus "She was enthusiastic about her new car."

"She enthused about her new car." versus "She talked enthusiastically (expressed enthusiasm) about her new car."

Etc. Literally, "and other things"; sometimes loosely used to mean "and other persons." The phrase is equivalent to and the rest, and so forth, and hence is not to be used if one of these would be insufficient–that is, if the reader would be left in doubt as to any important particulars. Least open to objection when it represents the last terms of a list already given almost in full, or immaterial words at the end of a quotation.

At the end of a list introduced by such as, for example, or any similar expression, etc. is incorrect. In formal writing, etc. is a misfit. An item important enough to call for etc. is probably important enough to be named.

Fact. Use this word only of matters capable of direct verification, not of matters of judgement. That a particular event happened on a given date and that lead melts at a certain temperature are facts. But such conclusions as that Napoleon was the greatest of modern generals, or that the climate of California is delightful, however defensible they may be, are not properly called facts.

Facility. Why must jails, hospitals, and schools suddenly become "facilities"?

"Parents complained bitterly about the fire hazard in the wooden facility." versus "Parents complained bitterly about the fire hazard in the wooden schoolhouse."

"He has been appointed warden of the new facility." versus "He has been appointed warden of the new prison."

Factor. A hackneyed word; the expressions of which it is a part can usually be replaced by something more direct and idiomatic.

"Her superior training was the great factor in her winning the match." versus "She won the match by being better trained."

"Air power is becoming and increasingly important factor in deciding battles." versus "Air power is playing a larger and larger part in deciding battles."

Farther. Further. The two words are commonly interchanged, but there is a distinction worth observing: farther serves best as a distance word, further as a time or quantity word. You chase a ball farther than the other fellow; you pursue a subject further.

Feature. Another hackneyed word; like factor, it usually adds nothing to the sentence in which it occurs.

"A feature of the entertainment especially worthy of mention was the singing of Allison Jones."

As a verb in the sense of "offer as a special attraction," it is to be avoided.

Finalize. A pompous, ambiguous verb.

Fix. Colloquial in America for arrange, prepare, mend. The usage is well established. But bear in mind that this verb is from figere: "to make firm," "to place definitely." These are the preferred meanings of the word.

Flammable. An oddity, chiefly useful in saving lives. The common word meaning "combustible" is inflammable. But some people are thrown off by the in- and think inflammable means "not combustible." For this reason, trucks carrying gasoline or explosives are now marked FLAMMABLE. Unless you are operating such a truck and hence are concerned with the safety of children and illiterates, use inflammable.


Folk. A collective noun, equivalent to people. Use the singular form only. Folks, in the sense of "parents", "family," "those present," is colloquial and too folksy for formal writing.

"Her folks arrived by the afternoon train." versus "Her father and mother arrived by the afternoon train."

Fortuitous. Limited to what happens by chance. Not to be used for fortunate, or lucky.

Get. The colloquial have got for have should not be used in any writing aside from dialogue. "The preferable form of the participle is got, not gotten.

"He has not got any sense." versus "He has no sense."

"They returned without having gotten any." versus "They returned without having got any."

Gratuitous. Means "unearned," or "unwarranted."

"The insult seemed gratuitous." (underserved)

Hopefully. This once-useful adverb meaning "with hope" has been distorted and is now widely used to mean "I hope" or "it is to be hoped." Such use is not merely wrong; it is silly. To say, "Hopefully I'll leave on the noon plane" is to talk nonsense. Does one mean they will leave on the noon plain in a hopeful frame of mind? Or do they mean they hope they'll leave on the noon plane? Whichever sentiment one intends, it hasn't been said clearly.

However. Avoid starting sentences with however when the meaning is "nevertheless." The word usually serves better when not in first position.

"The roads were almost impassable. However, we at last succeeded in reaching camp." versus "The roads were almost impassable. At last, however, we succeeded in reaching camp."

When however comes first, it means "in whatever way" or "to whatever extent."

"However you advise him, he will probably do as he thinks best."

"However discouraging the prospect, they never lost heart."

Imply. Infer. Not interchangeable. Something implied is something suggested or indicated, though not expressed. Something inferred is something deduced form evidence at hand.

"Farming implies early rising."

"Since she was a farmer, we inferred that she got up early."

Importantly. Avoid by rephrasing.

"More importantly, he paid for the damages." versus "What's more, he paid for the damages."

 also compare

"With the breeze freshening, he altered course to pass inside the island. More importantly, as things turned out, he tucked in a reef."

versus

"With the breeze freshening, he altered course to pass inside the island. More important, as things turned out, he tucked in a reef."

In regard to. Often wrongly written in regards to. But as regards is correct, and means the same thing.

In the last analysis. A bankrupt expression.

Inside of. Inside. The of  following inside is correct in the adverbial meaning "in less than." In other meanings, of is unnecessary.

"Inside of five minutes I'll be inside the bank."

Insightful. The word is a suspicious overstatement for "perceptive." If it is to be used at all, it should be used for instances of remarkably penetrating vision. Usually, it crops up merely to inflate the commonplace.

"That was an insightful remark you made." versus "That was a perceptive remark you made."

In terms of. A piece of padding usually best omitted.

"The job was unattractive in terms of salary." versus "The salary made the job unattractive."

Interesting. An unconvincing word; avoid it as means of introduction. Instead of announcing that what you are about to tell is interesting, make it so. For example, rather than starting a new passage with "An interesting story is told of...", introduce the story without the preamble.

Irregardless. Should be regardless. The error results from the failure to see the negative in -less and from a desire to get it in as a prefix, suggested by such words as irregular, irresponsible, and, perhaps especially, irrespective.

-ize. Do not coin verbs by adding this tempting suffix. Many good and useful verbs do in in -ize: fraternize, summarize, harmonize, fertilize. But there is a growing list of abominations: containerize, prioritize, finalize to name three. Be suspicious of -ize; let your eye guide you. Never tack -ize onto a noun to create a verb. Usually, you will discover that a useful verb already exists. Why say "utilize" when there is the simple, unpretentious word use?

Kind of. Except in familiar style, not to be used as a substitute for rather or something like. Restrict it to its literal sense: "Amber is a kind of fossil resin." ; "I dislike that kind of publicity." The same holds true of sort of.

Lay. A transitive verb. Except in slag ("Let it lay"), do not misuse it for the intransitive verb lie. The hen, or the play, lays an egg; the llama lies down. The playwright went home and lay down.

lie, lay, lain, lying

lay, laid, laid, laying

Leave. Should not be misused for fewer.

"They had less workers than in the previous campaign." versus "They had fewer workers than in the previous campaign."

Less refers to quantity, fewer to number. "His troubles are less than mine" means "His troubles are not so great as mine." "His troubles are fewer than mine." means "His troubles are not so numerous as mine."

Like. Not to be used for the conjunction as. Like governs nouns and pronouns; before phrases and clauses the equivalent word is as.

"We spent the evening like in the old days." versus "We spent the evening as in the old days."

"Chloe smells good, like a baby should." versus "Chloe smells good, as a baby should."

The use of like for as has its defenders; they argue that any usage that achieves currency becomes valid automatically. This, they say, is the way the language is formed. It is and it isn't. An expression sometimes merely enjoys a vogue, much as an article of apparel does. Like has been widely misused by the illiterate; lately it has been taken up by the knowing and the well-informed, who find it catchy, or liberating, and who use it as though they were slumming. If every word or device that achieved currency were immediately authenticated, simply on the ground of popularity, the language was chaotic as a ball game with no foul lines. For the student, perhaps the most useful thing to know about like is that most carefully edited publications regard its use before phrases and clauses as simple error.

Line. Along these lines. Line in the sense of "course of procedure, conduct, thought" is allowable but has been so overworked, particularly in the phrase along these lines, that a writer who aims at freshness or originality had better discard it entirely.

"Mr. B also spoke along the same lines." versus "Mr. B spoke to the same effect."

"She is studying along the line of French literature." versus "She is studying French literature."

Literal. Literally. Often incorrectly used in support of exaggeration or violent metaphor.

"A literal flood of abuse." versus "A flood of abuse."

"Literally dead with fatigue." versus "Almost dead with fatigue."

Loan. A noun. As a verb, prefer lend.

"Lend me your ears."

"The loan of your ears."


More to come!

It's been a long walk for the albino as he exited out of the Nexus Gate and into Costa del Sol, an inhabited place that is a stronghold for the Empire activity. Surely enough, the mere sight of several Stormtroopers nearby the end of the jungle outside of what it seems to be a city did rouse suspicion, however he would rather stay out of their sight.

As he was looking around for a safer place, he had a strange thought that came across his mind about Omnilium and remembered about what the childlike god mentioned. So it's this resource that sums it all huh? Perhaps it didn't cross his mind before but now, he's going to try something he has never done.

"If there is a way to get the one thing I desire.." he murmured as he stood completely still and envisioned his levitating throne within his thoughts. It took a good while, well much like five minutes, however that payed off as a rainbow bubble came floating down to him, enlarging in size, until it was it's normal size before it popped, revealing his own vehicle.

"I knew there was something else to this," he replied as he walked up to it. The main eye of the chair was close and has been closed for a long time due to the albino's absence; truth was, it was inactivate for a long while. However, when the albino walked over and sat down on it, the eye of the chair opened up as it scanned on who was it. When it identified that it was Specter, a hologram screen popped up with the scrolling details of the data that was last accessed before it went to the main screen.

The albino smirked as he said,"It has been awhile, but nonetheless, you will need some dire data input. Let me address that problem right now,"

He went to work onto inputting new data into the infrastructure about several areas of the Omniverse that he's been to so far as he used it's holographic keyboard that has appeared in front of him. This process has taken awhile but it was all worth it; after all, he's got to have something to rely on especially when his powers aren't the best shape right now.

"There. Database has been successfully updated," the albino spoke again as he closed out the holographic interface with a few swipes of his fingers before he leaned back, calming down a bit.

Finally, something useful for faster travel!

Afterwards, he relaxed as he took the time to look around to his surroundings. Peaceful and lush, sunny and tropical, it's outright ordeal and it was this weather that he would rather be in when he's taking a vacation on an island somewhere. To be fair, he wished he had a vacation after all the chaos that has been happening in his life as of recently, but then again, he needs to keep going as if the fact that he slacks off, he'll going to regret it later down the road.

Pity.

Well, as far as enemies go, his biggest one is with the Empire. He cannot for the life of him stand their presence especially after the incident back in Coruscant. If he is going to face his threats, he's going have to toughen up because this is unacceptable for someone as powerful as him. Tch, he'll be sure to make special arrangements for his executioner's 'execution'..well, on top of another Human, this time in red, he can't get it out of his mind.

Sooner or later, he'll have to return to that city and face it all over again, only this time, he'll have more stealthy and strategic means for his plan to enter the lower tiers as a basis. As he thought over, it wasn't long before a mail notice popped up on the screen, interrupting his plane of thought as he looked to it closer.

"Hmm? What's this?" he asked as he tilted his head before he pressed the hologram, opening up a video for playback as it had Monkey Pink, going around and singing horribly, causing the albino to cover his ears from her screeches.

Ugh, what a horrible tone!

Clearly, she's washed up as a singer and Specter growled in annoyance as he said,"I don't have time for this!"

Immediately, he closed out the video and that horrible video was no more. "That was horrible. I didn't need to be reminded of HER. Did she record this while I was OUT? Bah, I don't need this nonsense," he grumbled. "There's too much to do and little time to make a move,"

Looking around the area, he noticed the other islands in the distance and with such a vast ocean. Boy, how much of a pain it would be for travel without getting the attention of those he despise; after all, he had no allies and he had no way to manipulate other individuals to his will.

However, even while among the outskirts, he was seeing an individual coming from the central town itself. They seemed to be in a rush about something as they had many items in their hands, only to the fact that there were Stormtroopers chasing afterwards, causing Specter to hide himself among the surroundings to evade suspicion. The man responsible was soon caught but on his eventual arrest for thief, a map of the Vasty Deep came across Specter's sight after it tumbled down to the base of his levitating throne.

Using his telekinesis, he rose his hand as he levitated the map towards him, only to hold onto it as the Stormtroopers took the man away to face for his crimes. Once the area was cleared again, the albino used this opportunity for the map to be scanned. As so, the map disappeared as it's data was extracted and replaced with the exact hologram that appeared in front of the albino with all coordinates of the surrounding islands nearby.

There is one cursor that pinpointed Specter's current location being that of Costa del Sol and it's details.

"Interesting, so this island is Costa del Sol, the largest of the islands in the Vasty Deep and it's under the control of the Empire? I see where they're going especially when it shows that they are expanding their influence to other verses. Well, we will see how long that will last when I'm involved, hm?" he grinned. "After all, I'm not particularly known to play nicely with those despicable Humans,"

That would be his next step, but for now, he's staying low and gathering resources, however even so, the place called Cinnibar Island sounds like something to explore.

"Make coordinates to Cinnibar Island and depart immediately," he ordered as the hologram automatically centered onto Cinnibar Island and disappeared before the throne flew away off from the tropical area of Costa del Sol, en route for Cinnibar.

It's going to be a long while before his next destination but anything to do to get off this island and get his mind off of his troubles. Maybe afterwhile, he'll return to Coruscant; he just needs sometime to relax for a bit and do other things before he leaves again. However for sure, this place would be ideal for his new base. Now that he thinks about it, maybe there's an unknown island there that he can take over and modify to his likeliness as he did before in his home reality to make him feel comfortable.

If its one thing we love about anime and animated series as a whole is the battles that are fought in them (Depending on the show/Depending on the person watching). I used to love watching the Justice League fights (Go Green Lantern) and Dragonball Z as a kid, getting all pumped at their fights.

One of my favorites had to be in Bleach between the Soul Reaper Shuhei Hisagi and the Arrancar Findor. During the battle Shuhei explains the strength of a captain. It is a classic match up of brute strength vs strategy in which strategy tipped the scale. During the series most of the heated fights came from the huge captain-class powerhouses, but this one proves even the weaker guys can put up a fight.

Character name: Winter Schnee

Character source: RWBY

Character history:
-Last pages from Winter’s Journal, found in a hotel room in the city where she was assumed to have been killed by a Faunus ambush.
I am the older sister of one “Weiss Schnee” of Beacon Academy. My sister was an honour student, and part of a promising team of Huntresses. It was clear they were on their way to becoming quite a reputable group with her as their more than able lancer. Or at least she was until her team leader went missing, she hardly said anything about it, and then disappeared shortly after. This is unacceptable behaviour in our family, and I will find her.

Questioning her friends at beacon was a good place to start, they tell me she went after her leader even after everyone else had given up. It’s going to be enough trouble staying on her trail with next to no leads, but it will be my responsibility if any harm comes to her, and I will not allow that.
…
It has been a full month since I started searching for her, however, I am certain that the Faunus I met earlier knows something, I’ll just have to get it out of him.
…
He’s told me a woman with a scar over her eye and white hair came through here within the last couple of days. I know it’s Weiss but he’s not telling me where she went, I’ll have to do a more thorough search in the morning.

Winter stalked through the streets, this wasn’t the time for eloquence, her sister was missing. A small group of faunus was leering at her from the curb as she crossed the road to the place where she was told Weiss had been. Immediately, the damage to the area was visible, there must have been a fight here, and it must have been using extensive amounts of dust. Several faunus seemed to be following Winter, she drew her sword just as her vision was shrouded by something. Darkness enveloped her, and she was gone.
