H'all right...Let's start this with...Like, totally awesome long winded speech about myself because I'm totally an open book, even other the internet!

So, the basics.

Name: Zane
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Location: Mississippi/USA


Let's get a little deeper into this with my personality.

I'm social, like, It's 7 30 AM and I'm wondering why the HELL no one is in chat...Like, seriously, what? Sleeping? Working? Other stuff? C'mon I'm really looking for someone to keep me company! In all serious, I'm social before anything else, if there is an RPG without a chat room, it's a one hit turn off since I'd rather be chatting up a storm with my new-found allies/friends than typing up a post, now don't get me wrong, I love to write, but sometimes the pull of talking about the latest games, art, manga, and how my friend got hit by a car and survived is just too great a pull. So yeah, you might have to prod me to post, but have no fear, if I am online, I'll be in the chat waiting for someone. I try to make friends fast, but I've failed in the past thanks to a...really crappy sense of humor, I take the topics and try to make them funny, but I've been told I'm too much of a jerk, and sometimes I'm too "adult". I get it...A sex joke isn't the best thing to talk about when you're on a board dedicated to a game, anime, manga, and damn CARDS and EVERYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF that seems to be taken out of a page for friggin 10 year old kids. So I'll try my damndest to keep my mouth as toned down as I can...But I swear, I have a temper, potty mouth, and I like to joke around.

Warning: If this is a problem now, say so. XD I'm honestly warning you, and it's not because I'M trying to be an ass hole, it's because I hate to get psyched for something, then get banned, or treated like garbage. I'm not saying I'm a huge problem, I think I'm generally funny, a nice guy, and easy to get a long with, but my occasional ban and the times I get shunned say otherwise. I don't go looking for trouble...I go looking for funny, and I don't try to hurt anyones feelings, I have two rules people kinda have to follow to be around me (I know, it sounds like I'm already a D-bag doesn't it? RULES for being around me? Sheesh ego much?)

1: Take EVERYTHING I say with the knowledge that I am kidding. If I say something along the lines of "Hey hey. Girl with the opinion. Don't you know women should be seen. Not heard?" I'm joking, I REALLY REALLY am. I'm not trying to press your buttons, or get a rise out of you. I get NO joy in making ANYONE upset. I try to make people laugh. I like to see the little "LOL" or "XD" pop up. So if I say something, take it TOTALLY as a joke. Know that it's meant to make you laugh, be it at someone else, or at yourself. Y soz Srz?

2: If I do actually "take it too far" or "Cross the line" or generally what I say ISN'T funny, or isn't something that should be repeated, or just...Well if I hurt your feelings. Then tell me. I know it might sound strange but...If everyones laughing, I have no clue what I'm doing is wrong. A perfect example. Steve Irwin < Mantine.

I joke about that. D: But I've had some people HONESTLY get really upset with me over that. Do I think Steve was a bad person? NO! I LOVED STEVE! I friggin love animals, and he taught me a lot about them (Insert a "shove a thumb in their butt" joke here), and I REALLY liked the guy as a person (well, what I seen on TV) and I don't enjoy the fact that he died, it was really sad. But time has passed, and...every time I think of the picture (I look for it and cant find it) of Steve Irwin on a gameboy being fainted by a Mantine with the text "It's super effective" I crack a smile.

So to me? YES! I actually find that funny. Call it sick and twisted, I can see your point. But see, instead of banning me...or you know, shunning me, if you poke me...you know, in chat, in PM, anything really, and tell me that was a no-no? Then I'll nod apologize (even in chat. A polite person? ON THE INTERNET?!?!) and I'll try my hardest to watch what I say on that subject. In this case. Death.

With that said. This will either make most people laugh, and continue reading. A mediocre shrug and keep reading, or make a frown in disgust and hit back. I'll say this, all I can do is try! I mean, okay, I'm willing to meet everyone here half way. I'm getting everything out on the table, telling you all now I'm far from boy scout! I've got some trouble, but I'm promising I'll try. That is all I can say though you know? I'll TRY. Try being the keyword. I have no problem taking a boot if I deserve it. I get told to knock it off? I keep going for the sake of the joke, you wont hear me rage quitting, I know when I've done wrong. @_@ So i'll say this. I WILL try, so don't dismiss me yet.

Let's see, let me get anything else out. I am REALLY un-fond of weabo, japanaphile, americans/other nationalities who are SO in love with Japan they live, breath, eat, and PRETEND to be japanese. I LIKE anime. I LIKE J-RPGs, I even like JAPANESE WOMEN!!! But I am...I want to choke my friends when they try too hard to "be" Japanese. It's the same here. If you're my friend, and you call me "Castor-kun" expect me to make a witty, or ass holish remark. Like..."I didn't know I added -kun to my screen name. I must have missed the memo." or "Do I look like a special needs kid who needs his name enlongated to feel extra special about himself?" Or something along those lines. If you try to argue with me that the katana is the best weapon, if sushi is the best food, or if Subbed is the ABSOLUTE answer, I'll take your opinions, pull down my pants, and proceed to wipe my a-

I'll answer back with legitimate, and fair answers. Without typing at you in all caps and ignoring your opinions. Hell, I might even ignore it if it's not SO bad. Just you know...throwing my cards out on the table.

((Side note: I like dubs and subs. I've seen some amazing dubs, some shitty dubs. I've seen cases where I REALLY didn't like the SUB at all, but enjoyed the Sub. Dragon Ball Z comes to mind here if you think I need to explain myself))

Other things I really hate/dislike. Well, nothing worth mentioning really. I take jokes well, I like to chat about just about anything. Theres nothing that really sets me off, or makes me crazy with anger. It's a steady process I guess. I'm kinda sorta like a Mankey...I can totallybe docile, happy, calm and chillax one moment, then the next moment I'll be thrashing about in a rage trying to take someones head off. I do tend to have a temper problem, but it's actually really easy to spot when I'm getting upset.

Castor calm: Hey guys did you hear that joke at my expense? ;D I think this calls for a counter joke.

Castor agitated: Yeah? Well I heard your mom...

Castor angry: DUDE! Shut the fuck(am I allowed to say that? ;D I read the rules but...Can I actually say it?) up. -_-

Castor Nerd Rage: DUDE! I SWEAR TO EFFIN (just in case I cant) GOD! I WILL END YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE!

The key signs of me getting ready to blow are simple. Caps, more curse words, less "funny" more obvious "troll". Though I have to say, there are times I fake rage, but most of the time it's silly like...

"DUDE! I'M GOING TO STICK MY FOOT UP YOUR ASS! TURN IT SIDEWAYS! THEN BREAK IT OFF WHILE ITS STILL INSIDE!!!"

Obviously not really angry. And I try to throw in an "XD" when I'm raging as a joke.

So pretty much. The things to watch out for are being too weabo. Being offended easily (not really to watch out for. It's more like, if you ARE tell me and I'll try my best to avoid saying anything dumb), and generally me getting angry. I admit, I have a problem. If you boot me, I wont try to be sly, or hold it against you, I know how it goes, and I know how it goes when you have to put your foot down...Though I WOULD like a warning MOST of the times. I mean, it's kinda like, I'm doing something, hanging out, then I get booted (for a time limit) for something I didn't know what off limits. ;D I might send you a PM asking "WTF hax!"

ASIDE from the bad parts...Obviously I do have good points.

I've got some experience writing, RPing, and pokemans. I'm generally a nice, active guy, and well who DOESN'T like to have a new active member around? I'm a fresh face for all (except maybe Fox if he remembers me at all from ol' HS) and I HOPE to become someone whose a little well known, and a good member here. I do like to write, I'm opinionated (I consider it a good thing. ;D) and I just basically want to hang out here.

That sums of the good and the bad...Gee the bad is a lot longer than the good..uh oh...

So a little about myself. Like I said, names Zane, I'm 21, and I live in Mississippi. Despite what it may seem, I'm not a hick, hill billy, red neck, and I don't think you gotsa purty mouf. I'm not racist, I don't carry a rope with me, and I happen to enjoy some Ludachris. If you don't get it, I'm not racist, I love white people, black people, japanese...women. I just can't stand those polocks.

If you missed it. That was a joke.

So let's see what else. I've been playing pokemon since around...you know, the day the CRAZE FREAKING HIT! I can't say I was "the first" in fact, my town and the number of boys (like most small-medium towns I suppose) made it ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to get anything pokemon related. I borrowed the game from a friend, I got a few cards from scraps. I did some damn lame things to get them. An example of my life growing up. My first card was a Bulbasaur card. I got it because the kid was a snobby ass hole who had his parents buy him them ASAP. So in order to get the card, I had to take a shot from him in the gut in the boys bathroom. I took the shot. ;D

Eventually I got the game, cards, and everything else. Anyone remember when Burger King did that whole Pokemon toys in the kids meals? I do...

This is no lie. XD Burger King and that pokemon partnership? It is the single biggest "blockade" in my life today. As a kid who wanted pokemon (and I fuckin' love me some BK) every day after school, and usually for dinner, guess what I had? A fucking kids meal from BK. Guess how unhealthy that is? I got fat because I wanted pokemon so bad (again. I REALLY like BK), that I pretty much plummeted myself into gaining extra baggage. XD Zomg, a person who doesn't post fake pics and pretends to be a really hot, attractive guy with an amazing social life who pretends to get girls every weekend. Obviously I'm a reverse trap, or new to the internet. ;D

So yeah, I've done it all pretty much. Pokemon red and blue. stadium, the GOD AWFUL hey you pikachu, the G/S games, Coliseum, R/S, and I'm STILL playing these damn games. I've been trying to catch em all for friggin ever. I will SERIOUSLY sit here and talk your ear off about Pokemon. I like it, what can I say? I cried during pokemon the first movie (you know what part. ;D). I friggin called BS when Ash lost in the prelims to Richie. I almost burst into tears when Charizard FINALLY started to listen...I RAGED FUCKING HARD when he gave all of his pokemon away. I've thrown my gameboy at the wall when I KO'd a shiny pokemon. I've tugged at my hair when Lance scores a crit when he's in red and all I need is one more turn. I've yelled at my pokemon to TRY HARDER when they were fighting VIA lan cable. I still have trouble calling Marril by its name, and not Pikablu, I was there when Arbok got sliced in half...TWICE and regen'd somehow. Hell, I was even there when people started bashing pokemon due to its popularity. I've got in fist fights over this shit. I've been there, and I'm guessing most, if not all of you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. And if you don't? Then you obviously are the best fucking video game player in the world and we should all praise you and make you the king of pokemon.

In a recent play through of Pokemon Leaf Green...I begin to wonder why I cant be successful in the real world. I mean, I'm playing this game, and I'm blazin' through everything because I know every teeny tiny little secret. Like how to use the fishing pole at the slots in Celedon. The one that you try to play and it says "someone left their keys here". Use the super rod, get the keys, go to the SS anne (obviously you have to faint after getting cut, transported to the pokemon center and the SS anne still in the harbor) surf to the right, go to the truck, use the keys, start it, then use strength behind it to move it, revealing the sewer systems. Once in the sewers, you can catch Mew.




I wonder how many people looked for their cartridge of Pokemon...

Obviously, I have played this game too much. So much infact, I know what trainers will have what when the battle starts. Hell, I even know where some trainers are on the map. It was really nostalgic booting it up this time.

I'm not an expert. I can't tell you the base HP of a pokemon, I can't tell you what EVs they gain, and no I can't tell you what their entire move set is. I've learned a lot through trial and error, and i'll always wonder why Ivysaur evolves at 32 into Venusaur while Charmeleon and Wortortle evolve to their final stage at 36. Hell! I might forget how to spell their damn named, but at the end of the day, I LOVE pokemon, and I really enjoy being a fan of it, and RPing it sounds REALLY fun.

I'll be straight up and honest. I've never, ever, ever been a fan of heavy GM (Game Master-ing), or what you call her "Modding". It was really hard for me to swallow, and I'm still wondering how I'll do at it, I mean, it's going to be a new experience for me, I'm really used to just doing my own thing, and having the staff of a board check it and stuff. To be fair, it sounds like a good method for running a pokemon RPG, and I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm just saying, I'm REALLY new at this, but I'm going to GIVE IT MY ALL!

I did read the rules...some of them was a pain in my ass...and some of them really confused the shit out of me. To make a Pokemon pun, I looked like a Psyduck after you told it a really heartbreaking story. I read a little of the landmarks one, decided that I'd just wing it, I read, then completely forgot most of the jobs one, and I already have something I found...Really strange. And it was the rivals system. Okay, one members voice...I've heard that it doesn't carry far, and hell, I pretty much believe it. I mean, who am I to complain? I haven't been here for a day. : /

But like...I've had rivals growing up. Why are they so stuck to one thing? I mean, okay, I'd love nothing more than to smash my rival though pure effort because he's a jerk ass and deserves it, but like...What ever happened to a boy who has a cute girl as a rival, secretly has a crush on her, and looses on purpose? Or the guy who is AN EXACT MIRROR image of his rival, they even have the same pokemon? Same ideals? I mean, I kinda sorta get the rivals system but...I dunno, I'm PERSONALLY iffy about it since I kinda want story out of this, and I dunno how I feel about a story where my story ends up just like Dude Guy's rival story. They role in, tell you you're wrong about how you raise your pokemon, you fight, someone wins, and they run off calling you a stinker. My only complaint after reading the rules.

I've been rambling on and off with this window open for like...Let's see I started around 7:30 and it's 9:04 now...Obviously an hour and a half. Some was spent here typing this, some was spent wondering what to say and what not to say.

Some other facts I guess.

My favorite pokemon is really hard to pick. I mean there are REALLY so many to choose from. I can't say I have a favorite. But here are some I really enjoyed.

Raichu - I really like his design A LOT. I like his type, and I like most of his moves. I've really generally liked the Raichu in the anime series. Lt. Surge had a cool one. the pokemon first movie had a funny (but jerk ass) one. There was a couple more, none really worth mentioning.

Ash's Bulbasaur - I just liked him. He was a little hard ass. I mean, who else DOESN'T need to evolve to be better? Who else fights their own evolution off JUST to prove a point? ARGH! And he jumped in front of a falling boulder! DUDE! Bulbasaur is a beast. I also like his design a lot. His moves are meh. Never been much of a grass trainer. Pikachu also doesn't count. Because he's level 255. ;D

Ash's Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard - I can't give him a couple lines and be satisfied. If you've watched the series, you KNOW why his Charizard is a cool character. Maybe that is why he's cool. He's more of a character than any of Ash's other pokemon (including that obnoxious yellow mouse. XD).

Shellder - He's really adorable. XD

Mewtwo's Blastoise - The one from the first movie. He had some wicked designs. And his shell canons looked really cool.

Honorable mentions;
Ash's Totodile, Houndour, Growlithe, Ponyta, Toarkoal, Electrode, Snowrunt

Obviously. My favorite season seems to be the poke-riginals from season 1, the OG: 151.

My favorite GAME however is the G/S/C line, and I am SO pumped for the remake. Though, I'm really upset it's for DS and not GBA. I think the GBA sprites/graphics are better.

Is there anything else I can say? Uh...Congrats to anyone who ACTUALLY read all this? I woulda really wrote more but I kinda wanted to, you know, find something else to do instead of bug everyone.

Uhh, so I guess I'm really looking forward to playing here, uhh...I DID read all...of the rules. Some slipped my mind, others kinda messed with my brain. I'll try to figure it all out, but you know, if all else fails you guys'll see stuff in your PM box. ;D

Now to go and see if I win for having the longest intro thread...

Try. You won't offend anyone here.d

These are things we are working on. The first paragraph is something we're trying to implement right now. Yeah, the Rules have need fixin' for a while. A lot of the things aren't exactly applicable. You won't need to know a lot of them except for certain situations.

I feel like I should have breathed helium and then read this aloud as quickly as possible.

But, yeah. Welcome to the boards, have fun, all that. Don't be afraid to PM someone for help. Looks like I don't need to tell you to read the rules or come into chat. Finally.

So, yeah. wooo

Too long; didn't read.

It was nice to let us know about all the good and bad points you think might clash with us, but it was really unnecessary. Everyone here is pretty much the same thing and pretty tolerant (save for a few newbs). We won't jab you with a 50-foot pole for messing up (we will kick your ass though if you are honestly being a dick. Hey, at least we let you know).

Modding...we're slowly trying to wean the site off that. Its become too reliant and not enough people to help with it a lot of times. But there's nothing keeping you from doing your own thing. In fact we insist on it. Its called 'Freeforming' and its in the rules somewhere. Should give that a run-though, cause its really neat. All lot of the other stuff are more or less optional (like the rivals, Fame, EVs, etc.), but would help a lot.

Anyway, welcome to Legacy! Sounds like you would fit in okay.

Well, I read more or less 50% of that. At the moment, the first thing that came up while thinking of a reply is "Getting punched for a card? You're insane." Awesome willpower/willingness to do whatever it takes though. Haha. As for the whole section on offending and whatnots, no worries I don't get offended easily. Activity: later in the day. Or, way early in the day. It's 3:34 AM right now. My sleeping schedule got messed up.

Lastly, welcome.
