I totally went jack-mode and stole this. xD

Basics

Itsuka Roatani aka; 'Roa'

2) How old is he/she?
Started off eleven, is now sixteen.

3) Is your OC a boy or girl?
Female.~

4) What's his/her race?
Sunagakure Human Nin! O_O

Appearance

Rather short, very slender. Shoulder length, choppy blonde hair. Bangs fall over her left eye. Has a rather large scar on her right shoulder. Bright emerald green eyes, outlined in black eyeliner.

1) If this character were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
I would assume just a few. She's dressed a little awkward, yeah.. but I think they would be more positive than negative stares. xD;

2) Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Of course. :3 Everyone loves a good genjutsu-mind-rapist.

3) What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?
Dazzling green eyes outlined in dark black.

4) Would you consider your OC as attractive?
Might as well?

Personality

He has a temper, and a rage to get revenge on a lot of things. However, deep down he's very intellectual and always thinks things through unless he's blinded by madness. He surprises some of the characters towards the middle of the story by acting rational and calm as opposed to his normal butchering.

1) Temper?
Not normally; she's more quiet and positive. It takes a lot to get her angry. o_o;

2) Does your character ever get depressed?
She's extremely hard on herself but rarely voices a complaint. She doesn't like to bother others with her problems, she normally just smiles. Sooo, if she were depressed, no one would be able to tell.

3) Leader or Follower?
A mix. It all depends on the people she's with and what the situation at hand, but normally a follower.

4) What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
-Begins her cliche past.- A regular girl forced to become a ninja in hopes of getting revenge on some misterous oto-nin that killed her whole village, but has gotten distracted by her fellow teammates and learns that there is more to life that living to kill another. o_ô;;... I guess.

History

1) Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
Yes, a mother and father. But they just so happend to have been killed along with the rest of her peaceful little village. D:

2) Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
No; though she would rather be.

3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?
Hur-hur.
Family killed, Helplessly watched her first-crush/teammate get mangled, mentally broke down after reliving a past event and almost killed, had to chase down some giant fire-spirit kid, breaking off her relationship with this 'crush', finding her new one with his arm ripped off, almost getting her team killed on (I think) two occasions, being useless/helpless once more when trying to prevent her old-crush/teammate from being kidnapped, and having to rescue her first-crush/teammate after he was kidnapped and genetically tested on. (I HATE YOU, HOU O_O!!)

4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Anything that didn't involve those traumatic events?

Romance

1) Single?
At the moment she's supposed to be with Inuzuka Ebizo, but the kidnapping of her old-crush/teammate (Akazumi) has began to alter her way of thinking and stuff. It's such a long story.. BUT I LOVE DRAMA. O_O

2) Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Two actually. First with Akazumi, which went for a few years before suddenly breaking up. The second with Inuzuka Ebizo, which is still going on.. I think.

3) Virgin?
As far as I know... o_o.. My fuckin' DM better not whore her out.

4) Does your character like flirting?
She doesn't even realize when she's doing it.

Symbolism

1) What animal would you accociate your OC with? (Sorry, no creatures of myth and legend allowed!)
A fox; cunning, dashing, and a silent killa.~

2) Musical Instument?
A... um... Hrm... Oô;;... Flute, maybe? She has one, afterall. o_o

3) Element?
Wind; easy-going, carefree, light, but can be destructive and dangerous at the blink of an eye. BAM! O_O

4) Planet?
Mercury; Delicate and hot. ;D

Showing the Love

1) Do you draw your character?
I tried to at one point.. xDD I have her clothes on her somewhere..

2) Do you write about him/her?
I.. roleplay as her in Ricky's DnD game! -Geek.-

3) Do you use him/her in any rpgs?
Yes! I use her the most in the DnD game, but I've played her in various other short-lived RPs, though she was different in each one..

4) What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
Other than attempting to draw her and roleplaying as her, I've dreamed out scenes that I've done with her. It was pretty cool... o_o

RANDOMIZE!

1) Is your character wanted for anything?
Not that I know of? o_o

2) What are three weaknesses in him/her?
She's extremely hard on herself, has low-selfesteem, and is physically weak.

3) Strengths?
Intelligent, stealthy, and easy to get along with.

4) Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Nope.

5) What's one quirk you don't like about him/her?
I hate her history! It's so cliche, but I don't want to go back and change it. -Teh Lazeh.-

6) Does your character have any phobias?
She has a fear of putting too much faith into others.. Like.. having to rely on them. -Thinks of the term.-

7) What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Talk alotta shit about her friends and then let her find them all torn-up and half-dead and like... tested on. -Nods.- Thats about what they did. xD

8) Does your OC like chickens?
.... Sure, why not.

The Final Question

What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
That's a hard one. Roa, I think, it a lot like me or what I wish I was like. Of course, there are things about her that are polar opposites of me, but I think it's kind of theraputic. Anyway, she's more like me than what people think. She has such a cheery outlook that most people can't tell when something is wrong with her. She'll be the leader and speak out but only when something is happening that she doesn't agree with or when told. She believes that there is good in most people, but it just takes time to find it... All relating to me. xD
So you can say she's.. well.. a part of me.

One person.

Money. Everyone says its the root to all evil, right? It takes even the best of people and twists their minds to think in ways they have never before. It causes greed, selfishness, and even apathy towards others. Its clouds people's judgment and logic, causing them to do things in order to benefit themselves.

I'm just one person.

As many people know, August seventh (8-7-2005) will be Deviantart.com's fifth birthday. This should be a grand event. But many people are upset. Why? Because Jark has been fired from his position on DA.

I'm only one person.

Reasons are still unknown to the public. And I know only as much as what has been told to the people. (So don't ask me what exactly happend.)

I'm simply one person.

I'm not an 'oldie'. I haven't been here since the beginning. I'm not a well-known artists, writer, or photographer. I'm an not one of a high calibur in this community. I'm no sacraficial lamb.

I'm merely one person.

One person. One person can make the difference. Do not think that your opinion doesn't count. Don't think that you're insignificant in this community.

One person.


I support Jark. Do you?

Wow. I mean.. Oh. My. God.

THAT WAS SOO MUCH FUN! O__O AAAH XD! I can't believe it! The only way it could have been better was if Sasha or Rachel or Ricky or someone else was there! I swear, I cannot wait for AX '06 or Sac-Anime '06 or any other convention thats within driving distance! There was so much that happend, I doubt that I would even really remember it <___>!!

Okay, we'll just start off with Saturday.

Saturday;

It all had gotten off to a rocky start. I didn't have my Irvine Kinneas costume finished enough to make me comfortable, so I just went in a skirt and button up polo from Guess. I grabbed the camera, went to the store and bought some tapes, and then went to pick up my 'Camera Man'; (I'll use our Aliases) Joey. The ride was fun, we just chitchatted and what not, but we had arrived at Sunrise Mall around 11:45 or so.

As we got out of the car (in which we were practically kicked out of the car. We were so anxious! We went inside and looked around for a minute or two before ALL the cosplayers came into view. I was -so- happy and excited! I told Joey to pull out the camera and start rolling, but then it hit me. I left the tapes in the car! I was hella scared/pissed then, cause I had to call up our ride who had to drive all the way back to give them to us.

After being pelted in the face by video-tapes and loading the camera, we went inside and began to look around for people to ask questions to! Of course, we stopped by the vendors and booths along the way, until we found our first two people. A crossplaying Vash and a Wolfwood. (They didn't do all that bad really. o_O; )

But I asked them the standard questions, which I will post in text eventually. Joey filmed me asking the questions, but ended up with me almost getting jumped because of the question Kevin asked me to ask them. It was basically me asking them if they could 'l33t'/'1337' ((Oh god, I got another story for 1337, that chick was super geek o_o!)). I then had them read a sentence word-by-word that said "J.4.|>.4.|\| 1.5 6.4.Y" ((-Japan Is Gay-)). They were so offended.. xD;

Oh, not to mention us getting in trouble with security in our first interview. I guess we were standing in the way or something. -_0.. Stupid bastard.

After I got done with that Trigun group, we went on to find a little group of Naruto people. It started off with two Sakuras, an Inner Sakura, a Sasuke, a "random mist ninja" (gas-mask and all O_o; ), an Jounin-Orochimaru, and another one that I forget. I had them asking/answering all sorts of questions. They were getting all heiffy and shit. It was scary. o_O;.. I found out a lot of them were on Gaia too. xD;.. -better watch out what she writes-. Not to mention they go to schools that are within 10 minutes of mine. <<;; There was this little Sakura who looked like she was about 13.. She said Haruno Sakura-chan SOOOO cute. ;_;.. Better than most people. xD But the tall Sakura and Inner decided to split in the middle of the interview, while I had given Peeps out to everyone else. That interveiw was rather.. crazy. >_>;.. They went off too when they read the 'l33t'-sentence. Though, theirs was more laughter. xD; The group was all around awesome. Very friendly and extremely funny. I think I scared some of them though later on.. Like when I asked the little girl to say 'I'm Haruno Sakura-Chan from Naruto!" or something like that. Oh, and while we were recording, there was this Haku girl off to the side. SHE DID SOOO GOOD O_O She was pretty like Haku too. >.< I wish I could have gotten her on camera, but she was far too shy.

We had then found a group of three who had cosplayed as various characters from shows. One was a girl who dressed as Envy from Full Metal Alchemist, the boy was that poofy-afro guy from Excel Saga, and the last was just their friend who tagged along. They were so great! I wish I could remember their names.

Finally, Joey and I were tired. As heck. So, we went around to the booths and actually regestered and what not. We didn't stop for as many people as I thought. But you would be suprised at how many people actually thought we were some company or had our own website. <_<;.. I had a mother come up to me like; "Can I have your card? What company are you working for? Witll this be on the internet? BLA BLA BLA." I just bullshitted my way out of that one. I didn't want her to see what I had said on camera to her son (who dressed up as Kurama from YuYuHakusho or whatever) while I zoomed in on the paper that had been duct-taped to his shirt. xD

We did a few more interveiws in which I can't remember really, but then we went to sit down and eat. So we got some icees/slurpies and Joey got a hotdog. We walked around for a little longer, and then Joey had this idea to watch the tape. We rewinded it and stopped at Baskin Robins so he could get some water. Instead of watching the tape, Joey spilt his icee all over the floor and we ended up calling some friends to see how they were doing.

Instead of doing more interviews, we decided to look for my rifle/shotgun toy so I could pull off my Irvine costume the next day. So, we decided to make it a 'quest' (-geek/retard-). We recorded everything that we did. We scared off a few cutsomers, and I had a bunch of toy guns fall on my head, but in the end we found my rifle! So, the 20 minute mission was a success. >D

When we left KB toys, this really awesome Jakotsu crossplayer walked by. Of course, I had to talk to her. The interview went well, though her 'neko' friends were -way- too camera shy. For that, they were pelted with Peeps. Thats when we had finished and the security arrived. Everyone had split quietly, while Joey and I never turned off the camera, so you have photage of us talking to the camera to see if the cops were following us. xD;

It was then had I remembered that we had rewinded the tape. Since we had rewinded the tape and recorded over again, we had ended up taping OVER what we had previously done. I haven't viewed the tape yet in full length. But I know that I lost a good portion of my first few interviews. I believe we had recorded over everything up to the part where we were talking with the Kurama-kid.

Now.. THAT was a downer. I was so sad. ;_; We had wasted FOUR freaking HOURS walking around that mall and talking to people. In the end, we recorded over half of what we had taped. I was -so- pissed. Ugh.. Luckily that was when a few people had come into view.

We found these two people I had been talking to the days before (Astro-Chan and LiaFairyle from Gaia). Their costumes were SO cool >_<!! Crossplay seems to be very popular lately. Even though I'm not quite sure if you can call Lia's costume much of a crossplay.. since she was cosplaying a crossdressing male. O___o;;.. Anyway, their interview went great.. They seemed to have too much fun with the paper penis. xDD

Okay.. I'm sooo tired. xD... I'm not even finished talking about SATURDAY. x_x;;.. Sunday was shorter, but Saturday had a lot goining... xD;;. I have to talk about that girl who thought she was all that for one reason or another, along with the third time we had gotten in trouble with security.. It wasn't too bad, but yeah. xD... Then Sunday.. UGH. STALKER GIRL. xD.. I hope I get to see her again. She was nice. .. Even though it was a little creepy.. >_>;; Anyway, more later!~ Stay tuned.. x3.. ((-hasn't been able to see what she's been typing this whole paragraph.. x_X;; ))

Well, well, well. Finally. Sacramento's day has come! An Anime Convention has arrived, thank god!

I found out about this on Monday Night/Tuesday Morning at around.. 3am. A commercial on Cartoon Network had aired about the convention. July 30th (10am - 9pm) and July 31st (11am-6pm) at Sunrise Mall and for like.. 15 dollars! Everything was going to be there. Anime showing, cosplayers, Video game contests, people selling stuff. I was so excited! Sasha and I would finally be able to hit our first con! Not to mention it was only 30 mintes (at most) away! Meaning we would be able to cut the cost of hotel rooms along with not having to pack and waste time!

We were going to do all this stuff that Rachel and I had planned to do for AX; cosplaying, interviews, actin' a fool, clownin' on people's costumes to eachother. (Think of it as a warm-up session so I wouldn't make the mistakes when things really counted.) Sasha would roll camera while I reported/asked questions.

But to our dismay. Sasha is leaving the day before (with no exceptions) to Lousianna [sp. x_x;]. It was a total downer. I was in a big slump that night and the next day. But I had finally snapped out of it with Rachel's help. It was suggested that I look on gaiaonline.com for people that would be going. I found atleast 6 that would be!

I've been talking with them ever-since and we're all anticipating to see eachother! Each of us have our own little thing goin' on so we can recognize one another. Mine being the whole reporter gig, one dressing up as Gino (from Gaiaonline), another as some hot-guy stripper, a few as school girls (even though I assume there will be more than two. xD), ect. Hopefully, I'll be able to see them all. I think I'll need to get a name tag with my suit that says "x_Alainya_x".. o_O;;

After I had talked this out with my parents, I figured I would be able to go. I would just find someone to follow me around with my camera. No problem! Then my madre busted out with the whole, "You aren't staying there the whole time by yourself! I want to make sure you're safe, bla, bla, bla".

Again, I was sad. I have maybe two friends here in my area that like anime. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of friends in general.. But none that would be interested enough in going. So, I started asking people anyway. Thank god Jorge was there for me!

He had no problem with it! He even appologized to me! He was all, "I can't get us a ride though. -.-; " Then I was like, "Foo, I got that part handled. >_>.. You just need to follow me with the camera and hit the booths." He had also agreed to stay there as long as I wanted! I was so happy!... Was? I am fucking happy! I'll be so great!

I can't wait to see everyone there and meet new people and buy things! AAAH ^___^!!! It'll be so much fun, I can barely contain myself! The only way that it could be better is if Sasha and/or Rachel were there with me.. T_T;.. Or if I had a cosplay idea set up... xDD

Right now, I have the interveiw all planned out with questions and stuff. I even screen capped it in little frames to show Sasha! There is one part of the whole interview that seemed to catch people off-guard.. That will be the best part.. Aside from me chucking peeps at people >3..

I'll write again after the Con is finished!... Or maybe the day before/after the first day..? I DUNNO XDD!!!

............ I'm good! O___O

~ C.Bo

Well.. I think its official that I'm going to hang around now. Even if I can't draw for a shoe-string, its all good. I couldn't resist popping in here and there just to see what people had done. I forgot how nice some of the people on DA were.. But I remember how cynical a lot of them were.

Ah, and I bet you're wondering what the title is supposed to mean. Weeeell, in 6 days, obviously it'll be Christmas. But three? What falls onto December 22nd? YEP! You guessed it, my Birthday! Sweet 16. Ugh, I feel so old. o_o;

The last day of school was fun. People knew that my birthday was coming up, so instead of just pretending like it wasn't coming up, my friends had gotten me Balloons and Presents and stuff, including Christmas presents. It was so much fun~ I even got a box of cookies. X3..

Today we set up the Christmas tree. Kinda reminds me of the one off of Charlie Brown's Christmas.. you know? But like.. 6 feet taller. XD;;... Its pretty though. We haven't wrapped all the present, so the bottom looks rather bare, but thas alright! ^_^

OMG >_> I have another obsession rather then Naruto, Inuyasha, Fruits Basket, FFXI, ect. O_O.. Its called... "KINGDOM HEARTS" XD;.. Yeah yeah, I know. I'm a little late, but I finally got Kingdom Hearts and I'm starting to play it. I just got past the first boss. Its funny having a duck and over-grown dog thing following you everywhere. But yeah. Riku is awesome. <_<... BEYOND BELIEF. Is he awesome. I feel kinda bad for Sora. I wasn't able to beat Riku in the race or fight x.x. Even when Riku fell of the bridge, I couldn't beat him XD;;.. Those are my wonderful gaming skills for you. <.<;..

Alright, I'm gonna wrap this up.. I've been typing just a little too much. o_o; Thanks for taking the time to look at my page and read this entry though! ^_^
