I thought I would post again when the animation thing was finished, but that's on hold for awhile. Making this site was one of my main hobbies (beside playing music) and when I finished the site I thought I would be bored with a lot of free time on my hands. Boy was I wrong...

Last week I had to go over my Grandmother's apartment and help her rearrange everything. She had to move everything back so that some lady could paint all of the rooms, and after she painted the rooms me and my brother and sisters had to help move it all back. We did it pretty fast and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought. I had been dreading going, but we got it done within a few hours.

Then today I heard my mom's bird fall off his perch and hit the bottom of the cage. I was like "What the heck? Maybe he's just old and lost his balance..." Because he is 14-15 years old and he does stuff like that sometimes. But then I notice he was climbing back up funny and couldn't properly get back on his perch. After much difficulty he finally got back on, but he wouldn't close his beak shut. For the past few months now his beak has been growing extremely fast, like not normal fast. We looked it up online so we know what the problem is. But today when I saw him, I thought he had a seed stuck in his beak, and since it was so long it got stuck and he couldn't close it. But as I got closer to look...
((Observation check: 90. Success!))

He had no seed in his mouth, his beak had grown so long the top part got jammed inside the bottom half!
He had fallen because he tried to climb down to the bottom perch to eat, but since he couldn't close his mouth he couldn't grab on to the bars and he fell. Now that I saw what was wrong I called my brother in (because my mom had gone out for a bit),
And I grabbed the bird and asked my brother to help me.
Now before I go on I must say that when the bird was just a baby he was very friendly and nice, but my mom had his wings clipped and ever since that day he hated humans to the top degree. He will bite, fight, and hiss if you just look at him. And if you touch him he goes psycho. He knows better not to hurt you so his pecks are more just warnings, but he will flee if you try to get close.

So I must say that holding him so that my brother could try to unjam his beak was very difficult. He manage to do it though. I've held the little bird ever since we got him so I know how to keep him calm and how to hold him without hurting him. My brother had to pull his top beak up, while at the same time sliding it over very slightly. The bird did the rest of the work and it slid free. He can now close his mouth. It got stuck about 4 more times before my mom came home so we had to keep helping him.

Now for awhile now we've been reading about how to trim it down, but we have no avian vets in the area, so my mom got the courage to try it herself. And yes, we knew the risks.
We've read and studied for about 2-3 weeks. My mom got her finger nail clippers and my brother and I took turns holding him. What happen?
We successfully clipped his beak without hurting him, causing pain, or making him bleed!
Bleeding was one of our main concerns because we heard a guy that did it wrong and killed his bird from clipping its beak...
All in all though, the story with the bird ended well. He can now climb and eat with no problems. We're going to wait a few days before trimming more of it off because we don't want to hurt him.

Now a few days ago I got sick, so we had to go through all of this with me being lightheaded and ill. My nose was running and I was coughing. I felt horrible. I'm feeling a bit better now, but I'm still not 100%.

Maybe later in the week things will be less crazy and I'll have time to go back to working on the Glory animation. In other news though, I finished making the new battle system and I think I fixed all the problems on the site!
I knew something was going to sneak up on me. Also the "Getting started" post was locked to all members except for the admin, meaning me...
So no one could view it. A new member joined and sent me a PM letting me know that no one could see it, and I fixed the problem right away. So, thanks dude for looking out. ^_-
Alright, enough rambling. I'm gonna read over a few more things on the site, then come off to take a rest. Adios for now my hyper antelopes!

[FG Admin]

Alright, it's been quite some time since I last came to the site. So here are all the latest details:
We still have no members...
I guess people don't like the way the site is made, or the random power system? There is no way to tell what people like or dislike about the site since they don't post. I know they are coming because I can view their IP address and if they are a human or a bot, most are humans. They read, then they leave without joining or posting any comments. Oh well, I'll just remain clueless until someone decides to either stick around and tell me what is wrong, or I see things the way they are and fix it myself, which seems unlikely...

In other news, remember the bird with the beak problem? Well, he passed away shortly after my last post. It was expected.
He had been sick for a very long time now, and we had been reading on ways to help him and keep him healthy. But he was just old, there is no cure to stop age...
We ended up burying him and giving him a small funeral. I won't go in detail though about what we had to go through, it would go on too long.

Well, I'll start promoting the site again soon, it's getting closer to the end of the month. I had some small computer trouble so I couldn't log on as much as I used to, and then after I fixed it some other things popped up and I never got around to updating the site. I'm going to add some new items to shops. At the moment I can't remember what Idea I had though... I think I was going to add cameras... or something...
I'm also going to redo Glory's big picture, I'm not happy with it. She looks too bloated and it just doesn't look like the one I drew.
And as for my animation, it has been on hold for a very long time. I haven't been in the mood to draw and it was tasking more time then I had thought. I just don't have the time to spend hours on end drawing on the computer all day. Maybe I'll just do a few pics a day. They don't have much detail so that shouldn't be a problem, the problem is that I have to draw So many of them. I think I've got over 300 pics already and it's only like a 20-30 sec video. The animations aren't even all that awesome. *Shrugs*
I'll finish it when I finish it. Alright, time to go update a few things, then it's time for bed.

[FG Admin]

Okay, a few days ago I got a new member who joined.
I learned that the site wasn't as perfect as I thought it was, but I knew things would pop up as we began to role play. I've been going through and fixing things to make the site more convenient to guest and new members. It is a lot of work getting everything in its proper order.

I think I've almost got it though. Next month or so I may have to go through reading everything again to make sure I didn't miss anything. So far the new members and people interested in the site has been helpful by pointing out the flaws. I'm counting on them to keep that up so I can find the problems located around the site. I think I'm going to go back and edit my very first post I made and tell a bit more about how I came up with this idea. I forgot to mention the book that helped spark everything.

In other news, I have started the Glory animation back up!
I have about 40 seconds worth of footage. Progress is slow. I do about five animations a day. So far, Glory has flown up into the sky, spotting Ortega fleeing from her. She flies down and punches him in the face, sending him flying backwards and crashing into a mountain that collapses in on him. He wipes blood from his mouth and turbo charges at her (that is not his power, but I added it to make the video more like Dragon ball Z). Glory does the same and charges at him, the two collide lighting up the sky and exchanging blows at a super sonic speed. That is it for now. I'll post the video when it is done. Okay, enough blogging, time to go work on the site...

[FG Admin]

Today I woke up with extreme stomach pain. I mean it was pretty severe to the point I couldn't even sit up when I woke up. I just laid there for a bit holding my stomach, and then I tried walking to get up to go to the bathroom. I was able to walk around a bit, but I spent the next several hours laying in bed. After the pain passed I began to feel extremely queasy, like I had to throw up. Eventually both the pain and the queasiness passed, so I'm going to assume it was a minor form of food poisoning that caused me to get sick.

I'm now feeling a bit better, just a little tired. I'll finish these last few updates and then go to bed. Yesterday I made my own top 100 RPG list, FG is at the top NO.1 spot. So far no one else has signed up to place their site on the list.

And lastly, my wi-fi is acting up. It has been doing this for a long time now, but today it was just annoying. Hopefully everything will be straightened out and back to normal in the morning. Alright, time to post up the update announcements, maybe make one more post, then get some sleep...

[FG Admin]

If my Wi-fi drops out one more time I'm gonna start punching grandmas in the face!

Argh, jeez. It is starting to disconnect about every 10 minutes now.

[FG Admin]

Don't worry, no grannies were harmed during the makings of these posts. The wi-fi is still driving me crazy, but I guess I'm slowly getting used to it. My Glory animation is still on hold. The super sonic fight scene is hard to draw because of the camera angle I want to use. I could do a basic side view, but that isn't very epic or challenging. I'm going to make this movie awesome, or not bother to make it at all!
It mostly just boils down to motivation, and I seem to be lacking it at the moment. My imagination is dying.
Anyways, I'm going to tell a bit about each character on my FG website in this post. Almost every main character or NPC has come from a previous story that I have created in the past. A lot of their stories have either ended incomplete, or never ended in the first place. I have broken it down for each character to tell a bit about their original stories, and then I will explain what the purpose of this site is.

Character stories:

Jack Bennett-
was a Chicago police detective that was the best in his field. He was always hunting down the worst of criminals and locking them away, making him the most valued detective on the force. One year, during the late season of fall, one of Bennett's friends contacted him about a case he was working on out of town. He said he needed Bennett's help, off the record. He told him that something strange was going on but he couldn't put his finger on it. He wanted Bennett to drive down to take a look at a few documents he had and give his opinion on the matter. The trip down would only take a few hours, and Bennett didn't mind taking a look at a few pictures to share his knowledge, and then coming back home. the town was a small place out in the middle of no where, located outside of Chicago in some barren waste lands.
Upon arriving at the town he saw a sign reading "Welcome to Perfect". But as Bennett goes to look for his friend, he finds him missing, along with 80% of the rest of the town. Bennett begins to freak out as he realizes that he had literally stepped into a ghost town. The more he investigates this strange case, the stranger and more complex the town seems, and he realizes that the town isn't as perfect as it once seemed. But there is more to it then he first thought...-
The above story is a detective mystery with a super natural twist, well it appears to be super natural. As he investigates further he understands what is really going on in the town. Writing mysteries is extremely difficult, so I put his story on hold for awhile to perfect my writing skills.


Jason Boone-
Was a soldier of the 488 Wolfsbane in the US military, following under the command of "John" Wolfgang. Wolfgang was recruited by the RCC to be their top soldier to go on a space mission to recover a rare alien egg that they wanted him to recover so that they could study it. Wolfgang and his team successfully obtain the egg, but because of his own recklessness the egg breaks...
The team finds themselves surrounded by hordes of alien creatures trying to battle their way out, while at the same time attempting to locate another egg so that they can complete their mission. It's a fast paced action packed battle for survivle, that takes place on a alien home planet.-
Originally Wolfgang was the main character. He has no first name. People call him "John" just to fill in the gap, but I gave him no second name. It's just Wolfgang. Even though he was suppose to be the main character, my brother and sister and other people found Boone to be more interesting, and therefore he has made more appearances in stories and games. Wolfgang and Boone's stories were not made to be realistic at all, they were made to be like 1980s action films with lots of deaths and explosions led by a one man army. Unlike Bennett's story, these were verbally role played out, I played Wolfgang and Boone, and my younger brother and sister filled in the rest of the team. RCC is my younger brother's company that rivals Hydra corp. He helped me create the world that FG takes place in...

Carson Wylde-
After the Alien conflict with Wolfgang, Hydra corp and RCC began fighting, sparking the "Corporation wars". Almost everything that Hydra and RCC create results in mass amounts of people dying, or the planet being harmed in a extremely destructive way. The world is now turning into a waste land, and RCC and Hydra own almost everything. The people no longer have any freedom, and are dying from mass amounts of pollution. Hydra corp use super soldiers that are pumped up on VBS, and RCC just used normal humans with advanced armor and weapons. Some of Hydra corps super soldiers rebelled, and Carson recruited them for his campaign.-
This story is very complex, and I can't go in further detail because it is the prequel to Former Glory. You will be learning about the outcome of their battle as you role play. The end of Carson's story, is the beginning of Glory's story (But only the important parts). Carson and the super soldiers VS RCC and Hydra is on the line of Equilibrium, the Matrix, and Ultra violet. It is all about stylized dual wielding shootouts and special effects. Even though it was all in words...
It is also about the morality of cloning and super soldiers, and how mega corporations are trying to take over and control the world with all their power. The thing is though, for all the bad they cause, they always help create a lot of the things we use on a daily basis. If they all stopped what they were doing, would we like the way the world would have to operate?
It is one of those stories that makes you think deeply about your own life in between all of the awesome fight scenes.
This story was also verbally role played out with my younger brother, and small parts were also hand written. I think it is one of the stories and worlds we have worked on building the most out of all of them...


Powerflux-
The man that started it all. My older brother created a company much like Hydra, and Powerflux worked for them. He eventually found out that they were evil and decided to fight against them. James was a goofy fun character that was always saying something to make everyone laugh. Stuffing his face with food, and providing comic relief to a otherwise serious story. As he came to a dead end story plot I decided to give him a overhaul. He became more serious, went through a evil phase by joining the darkside, came back to the light side with a power boost, made some new friends, vanquished evil throughout multiple dimenisons, battled zombies, and eventually ended back up where he started with a dead end story. He had done everything that could be done with a super hero. He had a good run.
And so after he was done, I sent him into the phantom zone. As my first post said, he later escaped...
All of his stories were also either hand written, or verbally role played out.

Naida and Nathan-
Are all original creations. They were made specifically for this role play. They have never been used any where else...


Final word-
I know there is a lot to read, but I will explain the purpose of why I told all of this. Many of my above stories ended because I no longer knew where to take them. My goal is to fix that problem. I am working on several books that I am writing- Bennett, Carson, Wolfgang, and Glory, will all have their own books, starting from beginning and running through to the end. Movies get remakes all the time, but if a book is crap, it stays crap. It is rare that you will see a book that is rewritten and rebooted to become better than the original. I decided that if I was going to write a book, I was going to do it right the first time. But how do you know if your skills are ready to share with the world? That is what this site is for. I have been creating role play sites to test my writing skills. I have started my books, then stopped to develop a bit more. I will start them back up again as I grow. If I can keep a small handful of people enthralled with my words and story, and keep the story consistent, then I think I could pull the same thing off with writing books. Role plays are a lot more random then books, and losing plot is a common thing that happens a lot. Which is why my goal is to try and steer the story in such a way so that it never happens. The whole point of making role plays for me is so that I can become a better writer, and one day become a book author. Everything I learn from my role plays sites, I use for one of my above stories. Writing a mystery was very hard, so I couldn't finish Bennett's story. Which is why this RP is a mystery so that I could learn to do it better. Hopefully everything will work out, and I will achieve my goal of becoming a book author. I applaud you if you have actually stuck around to read all of this. Sorry for writing so much. I'll end the post here. Thanks for reading.

Alright, new updates. I'm going to be copying everything on the site, all the main posts and back story and backing it all up online. One day while I was editing the weapons list, I realized that if I ever made a mistake and erased it all, and then clicked the "Post" button, I would lose all the information and would have to manually retype it all out. X_____________X

So yes, this week my goal is to make backups of all the major posts and save them online. In other news, I found out my email address has been hacked. My mom received a bogus text message on her phone telling her about how I was successful in making large amounts of money. The thing was, the text was sent at the exact same time I was talking to her in person!
The text however did not come from my phone, it came from my online email account, and sent the email as a text to her phone. Which was how we knew I was not the one to send it. Unless I have a clone somewhere that was on the computer at the exact same time...

Anyways, I contacted my email provider and told them what was up. Hopefully the problem will be fixed ASAP. In other news, because the web site has been a bit slow, I've been able to work on my Glory animation a bit more. I don't work on it every day, maybe only once a month or so. But I now have 46 secs worth of footage for my animation!
Take a look at some preview pics below. As I had mentioned in a earlier post, I sacrificed drawing quality for smoother animations.

(The pics are not in order)

Alright, I'll log off now and get some rest.

Thanks for reading.... Whoever you are.

Wow, I haven't posted here in a long time. I was suppose to add a new skin to the site back on 11/18/11, that was almost a year ago and I just finished it like last month!

If you check the main page you will see that today we have six birthdays. Yep, six because I play six characters and since all of them have the same B-day the calender is showing them all. It's kind of funny. So happy Birthday to me! ;D

In other news, I am going to make some huge changes to the site. I will be changing small parts to the combat system and some of the stats for the players. I will also be completely scrapping the story to this RP. No one was participating the way I had planned and having a mystery RP site wasn't going well. It was suppose to be a "Whodunnit" type of story on the line of the board game Clue, but that didn't go so well.

Instead I'll just focus on making it a full fledged Super Hero RP with crazy stats and abilities. I will make it loosely based on my brothers RP system that he made, but not as detailed. My brothers RP was on the line of dungeons and dragons where you had speed, accuracy, evasion, defense, and attack stats. It then went in more detail where all of your armor had stats to add on to your base stats. When we had mass army battles there was a lot of math involved and it sometimes got overwhelming. There was no power cap in his RP, so by the time my character reached level 75 he was dealing out 100,000,000 damage X10 (from magic bonus) X99 (from weapon bonus), and yet some how wasn't killing monsters in one hit because they were just that strong.

To make sure things don't get that crazy, there will be restrictions on stats. Another problem with his RP was that there were only two turns, players turn and then the enemy's turn. This meant that if the player was attacked there was no way to defend them self on the first round because they had to use their attack turn to use buffs and defensive moves. In his RP all players and NPCs had time units so that they could perform so many actions within a single turn, but it still didn't even out because a lot of players and monsters had one hit kill moves so people were dying before their turn even started. His RP was fun, but it also had some of its flaws...

To fix that problem I created the two turn system that is currently in use on this RP so that everyone has a chance to attack and defend. I decided to simplify this system just a little more so that players could fight each other without me having to guide them along. I will also be making some minor changes to super powers as well to make things a bit more fun, but only minor things.

All in all I don't expect this RP to be revived, but I will continue to update it so that I can find the perfect RP system. I already have some ideas for some new ones. I don't like ending a project that I never finished, but sadly at this rate I don't think this RP will be revived. Last but not least, I have decided to open up my own Youtube channel and I will be uploading some videos on to it. I am working on a animated story called "Life" that I think will be fun, and I'll also be doing a couple of video game Play throughs.

Alright, I guess that is all for now. If the site gets revived again I'll be chatting in the heroes lounge. If not, then expect another post saying that the site has died.

[FG Admin]

Haven't updated or changed anything. I've been sick with the common cold, and then I got busy with doing work stuff- but in a good way. I've been getting more work done which led to me earning more money.

I've also been practicing the guitar a whole lot more than usual because I'm planning on busking as soon as the weather warms up. I've learned how to strum, do guitar solos, and I've learned music theory to write my own songs. Between work, music, and the cold I haven't had time to work on this RP.

I finally saw the Marvel's Avengers movie, and after watching it I now want to do some super hero stuff. Maybe I'll work on this RP next month to finish some of my planned updates. The rest of this month looks a bit busy, and early next month will be the same way. My plan is that half my list will be started by mid next month.

Alright, time to get back to work!
