Hey, those are pretty cool. That also explains your profile picture. XD I'd be interested in seeing what the other ones are. =o
And yeah, if you go to the advanced post thing there's an option to disable smilies. I feel like :D gives off a different feel than the default forum emote, so I chose to use that instead. I'm very particular about my emotes. <_< >_>
No problem. Again, take your time. If there's real life matters to deal with first, then deal with those first, as they are more important to you anyway.
Anyway, I must (re)design my Element Signs. It's a good way right now to take off stress in my life.
EDIT: Which is also why I am repeatedly playing a beautiful song from Mushihimesama Futari called "On the Verge of Madness." How suitable.
Funny you commented on YOUR page, but IP stands for "Ikari Points." I learned it from an old RPG I played on the SNES called Lufia II. Though in my game, it operates more like the FP guage in the Grandia series.
As for the "I'm sold" quote, I assume that you are...um...Jellen...?
Nope. You can have two Primary Elements, two Planetary Elements, or one of each. Also, Fire/Ice and Fire/Earth are perfect for a HUcast. (Yet in my game, Ken actually has Water/Thunder/Spirit, because he is actually meant to be fast and utilize elements with either Weapon Techniques or Magic Arts. He even utilizes (de)buffs, which altogether makes him the most ironic HUcast ever. Also, humanoid robots in that game, or what I call "Souldroids" can cast magic, although they are more proficient with weapons)
I also forgot to mention in that PM that if your two signs are elements that oppose each other (i.e. Water/Fire), they kind of neutralize each other, giving you a small proficiency with the respective elements and their strengths with no weaknesses or decreases in stats.
As for my own personal character in that game, I always prefer Water/Moon.
And I were to be gifted with the Aether Element Sign, that would be awesome. Not only do I get to command sacred winds and air cutters, but there is even a spell of that element where you can command 7 rainbow-colored air slashes from the seven-thorn sword owned by Susanoo, and another one where you can command Izanagi himself to thrust down onto one opponent with the naginata that once created the islands of Japan until it's dead. Hence, Aether controls the winds, atmosphere, and the heavens. (Yes, I made up these spells)
Oh, and the Time-space Element Sign too. I would love to stop/slow down time...kind of like Sakuya or Youmu. X3
EDIT: Yes, my game is heavily JRPG and Final Fantasy-inspired.
At first glance, Water/Darkness. Spell nuker :D
Though if you're talking about Xanto, he'd probably be Fire/Earth or Fire/Ice (you don't need to have one primary and one planetary, do you?) since that's pretty much what I had in mind when making him: a physical powerhouse who's also kinda tanky by nature.
lol, you got that right. Thank God I know some Japanese... That, and I thought "Ken" would be a suitable name, since at least, it could mean "sword" or "blade" (of course, that is why I needed an In katana as my dream weapon for him). If I were to try a re-create Ken in PSO2 (I would like to), either I want PSZ HUcast parts to return (PSU did that with PSO CAST parts), or I want a similar head to go with him. If not, Ken will get heavily depressed and do the Menchi Song.
I heard somewhere that "Xanto" is a Greek name for males that means "yellow" or something like that. Therefore, I assumed that is why you named your HUcast that name, since he is as you said, primarily yellow and black. (I almost thought you would have impersonated your HUcast as young...like what I did XD)
Ah, name concepts are fun.
On a side note, assuming you read the part 2 of my PM about Element Signs, what two Element Signs would you want...out of the first eight? (well, you could say which of the Ultimate Element Signs you would want if you were to be gifted. In my fan fiction that I sent you, Ken gets the Spirit Element Sign.)
Xanto is a name I originally made for a fan character in the Mega Man Battle Network universe, taken from the root word for yellow "xantho". I thought it was fitting for my HUcast since he has a yellow/black color scheme. In my early high school years I had a phase where a lot of characters I created were named after colors like that. =P If we end up playing PSO2 together, my first character will likely have one of these names since I'm planning on recreating my PSO/PSU char.
Also you're right on those kanji readings, and I agree that Inu would be a pretty bad name. XD
By any chance, is the name of your HUcast supposed to be a Greek name? I remember hearing that name before. (Yeah, I got interested in name concepts...)
Not sure if I told you this, but 犬 = Ken (Well, I would spell it in katakana, which I'm sure is this = ケン), which is the "on" reading of the kanji for "dog." However, if I'm right, 剣 = Ken, which I believe means "sword" or "blade." Why did I name him that? The PSZ HUcast design is so badass (I love it), that I wanted that head for my HUcast on PSZ. But when I saw those "side horns" on his head, I thought of dogs (after all, I own two chihuahuas at home, and it made me love triangular/pointed ears for dogs, because they're cute =/) Plus, I wanted a sensible name for a HUcast, and since I felt like looking up some Japanese kanji, because Japanese stuff is awesome, it boiled down to "Ken." (Well, "inu" sounds like a terrible name for a HUcast)
Plus, I imagine Ken being REALLY young, so he's...like a puppy. X3
I'm surprised. I never thought, based on Classica's trade thread, that even a no-parameter and already-fortified Millias Breaker could attract so much attention...
...Why do people have to make it sound like I DID find something valuable...? =P
On a side note, I remember this one discussion you, Zero, and Shanks had during one run of Dark Shrine I and the three of you had. It had me really curious... I don't know if this is something I should be forbidden to bring up, but I remember I had to temporarily leave the game for about a minute, and when I got back, I noticed you guys were having a discussion about something. The only thing I caught was Zero calling some people "Pervs" and you saying "get your mind out of the gutter" or something like that. I was like "WTF are you guys talking about?" and then Shanks spammed a picto saying "Filler"... >_>
(If necessary, please let me know to end this discussion here if it really has to. Feel free to delete this message if necessary as well. I had no idea what was going on, but if it is best that I don't know, then...yeah)
I don't have much experience with danmaku games outside of Touhou. I think the only one I've really played is Hitogata Happa, and even that I haven't played very much.
