Well, I haven't done much on DA for a while, what with school and all. But I'm not dead! I have several drawings to finish, but they're getting put on the sidelines for a bit in favor of a project I'm doing for the Zoids Fan Anthology MK II. Can't tell you what I'm doing for that, it's secret.

In fic news, especially NGE: College of Chaos. . . .  I'm re-starting it. I'm just not comfortable with how its gone so far outside the battle with Za'afiel and the prologue, and I have considered far more interesting ways of starting it, and there are things I want to remove and add. I could edit the chapters, but a Rebuild seems more efficient. So Rebuild of College of Chaos will be hitting FF.net sometime in the next few months.

There's also a new fic that has only its first chapter partially written, but, I'm going to officially announce "Spiraling Into Insanity", a Neon Genesis Evangelion/Rebuild of Evagelion/Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann/Mahou Sensei Negima! Magister Negi Magi/Zoids: New Century Zero/Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood/Soul Eater/Darker Than Black/more series that will fill minor roles crack crossover, in which the Spiral Nemesis did not end with the type of big crunch that the Anti-Spirals envisioned. No. Time and space fusion.

Mahora Academy and the DWMA are now merged into one school, Tokyo-3 has ended up in the magical world, with Kamina City, Central, and the Blitz Team's base being relocated to the geofront.

What happens when Mari Makinami and Kazumi Asakura decide to troll everyone? Will Asuka Soryu, Asuka Shikinami, Asuna Kagurazaka, Evangeline A.K. McDowell, and Leena Toros in the same room result in Tsundere activity off the charts? "We'll find out" and "yes".

Also expect Death the Kid to get beat when he calls Eva-02' asymmetrical garbage in front of Asuka Shikinami xP

And that means, while I'm not looking for a job, hanging out with my friends at Zoids: Wild Frontiers, watching anime, or working on cosplay, I'll be getting back to drawing and working on NGE: College of Chaos. I have ideas of where to go from where I left off, but what I want to do before I get going with that is get out a finalized concept and data file for Eva-17 out, as well as design Eric's plugsuit. . . .  and just design Eric in general. Redesigning Gabby and designing Eva MK 07 is also on my list, but they're not coming in just yet. As for the actual plot portion of CoC, I've had some ideas. Right now I'm working on ironing out some character backstories and deciding where I want to go with some relationships, though I should probably do that later, since it won't come up for a while, so I'll probably divert my attention to the next few angel battles and character development.

I was also working on an Eva/Negima crossover pic with Asuka and Asuna, but i think I want to start that one over from scratch, but that will probably get done sometime.


Another ambitious thing I wanna do is draw my main RPC from ZWF, as well as each of his Zoids, but that will be an immense project.


Regardless, I need to get drawing again before I get too rusty.


As always, what exists of my fic can be found here: www.fanfiction.net/s/7987089/1…

Getting started is always the hard part, so the first few chapters are kinda rocky, but I hope that once I get the momentum, I can go back and improve them.

So, this is the coolest thing, at least I think. Drawing attention to our favorite deviants.

Basically, the rules/steps are (and I just copy and pasted these, I admit)

Rule (or step) number 1:
Make a journal entry like this one. Remember to link to the person who originally featured you.

Rule (or step) number 2:
Take the first 10 people who reply to YOUR journal entry and put your 3 FAVORITE deviations from their gallery in your journal.

:icongrummancat: Featured me, so we'll start with him. (This won't count towards the 10)

:thumb313787866: :thumb300945934: :thumb313413503:



Well, the first 10 of you that ask will get on here, so, have at it.

Was really bored and saw this on :iconkikaijuugouten77: 's journal. Thought it would be fun. Did it for the more interesting of my two Zoids OCs, but I'll probably do one for Luc later, and maybe ones for the OCs in my Neon Genesis Evangelion Fanfic.

Well, let's do this
101 Questions You Should Be Able to Answer About Your Character

Character: Kat fav.me/d5q2ewm
Fic of Choice: It's actually an RP, Zoids: Wild Frontiers
Fandom: Zoids
Timeline: Arawn, ZAC 2862

Kat: Is this really necessary?


1. What is your full name? Do you have a nickname?
Katherine Blakeborough, but I usually go by Kat. *Embarrassed* Sometimes I get called "Kitty", though, but it's a really juvenile name that I've grown out of.

(Pika's Note: She actually likes it, at least when Luc says it xD)

2. How old are you? When is your birthday?
I'm twenty as of right now, and my birthday is April 24th.

3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic?
I was born in Valburn, Adamas, but I left a long time ago. Now I live with the Lionhearts in the Freedom States. Patriotic? Not really.

4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
I didn't really know my mom she died when I was three. My dad worked in an Adamasian Zoid factory, but a frenzied Pierce Sniper killed him when I was eighteen.

5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
No.

6. What is your occupation?
I am a Zoid pilot.

7. How tall are you? How much do you weigh?
5'5", and you're really going to ask a girl how much she weighs? (160.3 lbs)

8. What color is your hair? What color are your eyes?
I'm a redhead, and my eyes are kind of a sapphire blue.

9. What is your race?
Human, of course.

10. To which social class do you belong?
Well, I think Zoid pilots have their own social class, so we'll go with Zoid pilot.

11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others?
I've. . . .  never really thought about it, though I have been told I'm beautiful.


12. What is your style of dress?
Pretty casual, usually a shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features?
There's that scar on my arm where that GPS microchip was removed. . . . .

14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
I would consider the latent effects of that monster's brainwashing a disease.

15. Are you right- or left-handed?
I'm a righty.

16. What does your voice sound like?
Like your average young woman's voice, I suppose.

17. What kind of vocabulary do you use?
I wouldn't say I have a sophisticated vocabulary, but I would say I have more than a rudimentary vocab.

18. List three quirks or other defining characteristics.
I have a short temper, I hate Pierce Snipers, and there are those damned latent effects from when I was brainwashed. . . .

19. How often do you bathe? Do you wear perfumes?
I bathe every day, and no.

20. What kind of facial expression do you commonly wear (dour glare, wry smile, etc)?
I generally try to keep a smile on my face, but that's hard sometimes.


21. Do you use body language? How?
Yeah, basic stuff like putting my hands on my hips or crossing my arms when angry.

22. Do you have a commonly used saying?
Not really.

Childhood

23. What is your earliest memory?
When I was four, my dad took me to see a Zoid tournament. I think that's the earliest I can remember.

24. How much schooling have you had? Did you enjoy it?
I have a high school diploma, and it was alright, though senior year was ruined by my father's death. . . .

25. Where did you learn most of your knowledge and skill?
I'd say most of it in school, but I did pick up some things during those years that I wandered aimlessly. I've also picked up on Zoid maintenance from watching the guys repair their Zoids.

26. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Even without mom, it was pretty good, I guess. Could have been better.

27. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I. . . .  don't really remember. I had always been interested in Zoids, so probably something to do with them. Considering I'm a pilot now, that makes sense.

28. When and with whom was your first kiss?
Some guy back in high school. How is this relevant?

29. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
That's none of your business!

30. Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? Does that affect you?
Not really.

Influences

31. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
I guess meeting the Lionhearts. They're pretty much my surrogate family.

32. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
I did manage to get off Desmond's island on my own. . . . .  even though he just recaptured me. . . . .

33. What is your greatest regret?
Getting abducted by Desmond in the first place.

34. What is the most embarrassing or shameful thing ever to happen to you?
My abduction and the subsequent brainwashing.

35. Do you have any secrets? If so, what are they?
Not really.

36. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
I haven't done anything evil that i know of.

37. When was the time you were the most frightened?
When I was being held captive, naturally.

38. Have you ever traveled outside of your country? If so, to where?
I've now moved to the Freedom States. . . and I 'traveled' to wherever the hell that island was.

Beliefs

39. What is your alignment?
I'm an honorary Lionheart. I'm sure as hell not with the Septs.

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
I try to be an optimist, but sometimes, it's really hard, especially with what I've been through.

41. Do you believe in a god? If so, which one and why?
I've never really thought about religion. I suppose there could be a god.

42. Do you believe in an afterlife?
Why the hell not?

43. What is your greatest fear?
Losing my free will again.

44. What makes you angry? Sad? Happy? Why?
The evils that people can sometimes commit, injustice, and that silly "Kitty" nickname all piss me off or irritate me on some level. Death, despair, and that kind of thing make me sad. Being with my friends and having control back are probably the things that make me happiest.

Why? I think it should be pretty evident.

45. Do you think people are basically good or basically evil?
I would like to think they're basically good, but after Desmond. . .  . *falls silent*

46. What are your views on politics? Religion? Sex?
I really pay them no heed.

47. What are your views on gambling, lying, theft, and killing?
It really depends how they're used and what the situation is, I suppose.

48. How far will you go to defend your beliefs?
I haven't really had to defend them. I imagine I would fight pretty hard.

49. How much do you value money?
Not much. It's necessary to make it in society, yes, but it really isn't all that great.

50. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
There's a lot of really bad things people can do, should any of them really be called more evil than another?

51. Do you believe in self-sacrifice for the greater good?
Yes.

52. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
Of course!

53. Are you superstitious?
Not really.

54. How much do you respect the beliefs and opinions of others?
I respect the beliefs and opinions of others, it's just when they're forced on me that I take issue.

55. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings?
Generally pretty honest, I think.

56. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
I'm extremely prejudiced towards Pierce Snipers, since one of those. . . things killed my father.

Dealing With Others

57. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
I would probably have to go with. . . . well, probably Luc. He saved me when I collapsed in the desert and he usually has my back.

58. Who is the person you respect the most? Despise the most? Why?
Even if he is a bit of an idiot, I would have to say I respect Ethan. From what I've seen of him as acting captain, he's a natural leader and loyal friend. I think it goes without saying that I despise Desmond. If you really need to be told why, you probably have not been paying attention here.

59. Do you have a significant other? Who?
Maybe. *glances at Luc*

60. Do you have a lot of friends? Who is your best friend?
I have a decent amount. Kyuui would probably have to be my closest friend though.

61. How do you relate to members of the same race? Class? Sex?
I'd say I relate very well.

62. How do you relate to members of a different race? Class? Sex?
I generally consider humans to be one race, but if you want to bring Zoids and Organoids into this, it really depends on their personality. There was that one Organoid that was really irritating. . . . Class and Sex really have no bearing, it all depends on the person/Zoid/organoid.

63. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
I might be right now, but I'm not entirely certain.

64. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Someone who's reliable, caring, and respectful. Good looks help too.

65. How close are you to your family?
Are we talking about my deceased biological family or my current surrogate family?
I was close to my father and never really knew my mother, but I get along with the Lionhearts really well.

66. Do you want a marriage, family, and/or children?
Eventually, yes.

67. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
I generally try to avoid conflict, but if you really piss me off, well, I can get pretty belligerent.

68. Are you a listener or a talker?
Listener.

69. How long does it usually take for you to trust others?
Depends. Trust is earned through actions, not words.


70. Do you hold grudges?
Yes.

71. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
Not really.

72. Do you like interacting with large groups of people?
I don't mind it.

73. How well do you express yourself?
I'd like to think that generally, pretty well.

74. How quickly do you judge others?
First impressions hold a lot of weight in that matter.

75. Do you care what others think of you?
Of course!

76. Do you have any enemies? How or why are they your enemy?
Yet again, Desmond. You know why by now.

Personal Taste and Opinions

77. What is your favorite pastime? Color? Food? Possession?
Taking Dakota out for runs is pretty fun. Let's go with red, pizza, and. . .  . I don't know if I have a favorite possession.

(Dakota=Kat's Shield Liger Leomaster)

78. What are your preferences in arts and/or entertainment?
I like comedy and action movies most, but I'm pretty flexible.

79. Do you smoke, drink, go whoring, or use drugs? Why or why not?.
No. Smoking is disgusting, I'm not old enough, and the last two were illegal, last I checked.

80. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
All depends on what's going on and what I want to do.

81. What is your most cherished fantasy?
A world where I had never been abducted and my parents were still alive.

82. How long is your attention span?
A lot longer than Luc's, that's for sure.

83. Do you laugh a lot? What do you find funny?
I laugh when I deem it fit. My teammates antics and witty jokes are hilarious sometimes.

84. Is there anything that shocks or offends you? If so, what?
People treating Zoids as simple machines. They're alive too, Zoids have feelings.

85. How do you deal with stress?
Sometimes I break under pressure and snap at my friends, unfortunately. I'm not very good at dealing with stress.

86. How much athletic ability do you have? Artistic?
Little-to-none in both categories.

87. Do you like animals? Do you like children?
Animals are great. Kids, I can tolerate them, but they can be nuisances.

88. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
I try to have a plan.

89. What are your pet peeves?
People who act high and mighty or stupid. Of course there's that "Kitty" name again.

Self-Image

90. What is your greatest strength as a person? Weakness?
I think I have a pretty strong willpower. My weakness. . . .  probably when I let my fear get to me.

91. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I wish I could eliminate the latent effects of the brainwashing now. I don't want to have to wait for them to fade.

92. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Extroverted.

93. Do you like yourself?
Generally, yes.

94. Do you have a daily routine? How do you feel if your day is interrupted?
Pfft, more so than Luc does. At least I get up at a consistent time. I'm pretty flexible, so I can handle interruptions.

95. What goal do you most want to accomplish in the next six months? Your lifetime?
I would like to improve my piloting skills and be happy, maybe find someone special.

96. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
Probably still a pilot. Ten and twenty years? That's a little too far ahead to be thinking if you ask me.

97. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Painlessly and peacefully.

98. What is the one thing you would like to be remembered for after your death?
My gentleness.

99. What three words would you use to best describe your personality?
Gentle, caring, and troubled.

100. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
Caring, dangerous, and troubled.

101. Why are you risking your life to adventure?
*blinks* I wasn't aware I was adventuring. I mean, I guess Zoid battling is kind of an adventure. I don't know, I'm not exactly registered with the ZBC yet, so I haven't been in battle.


(Some of the other characters mentioned belong to my friends/fellow roleplayers. Of these, only Kat, Luc, and Dakota are mine)

So, I'm finally her, college. Now I have experiences ahead if me that I will likely remember for the rest of my life. . ..  .and be helpful in College Of Chaos.

My friend and teammate on a Zoids RP recommended Mahou Sensei Negima!, and I've started reading it. It came from a debate we were having about who was the most genius when it came to writing anime/manga. He was arguing Oda (One Piece) and Akamatsu (Mahou Sensei Negima!), whilst I was arguing Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion Manga/character designs) and Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion creator and anime) Ultimately, we came to a compromise. He would read all the Eva mangas (Original, Campus Apocalypse, Angelic Days and I'm not sure if he's gonna read The Shinji Ikari Raising Project. He had seen the anime and the first Rebuild, so I linked him to You Can (Not) Advance on YouTube) if I read Negima!. He was impressed by Campus Apocalypse and I am seriously entertained with Negima!. It was a pretty sweet compromise.


Asuna Kagurazaka=awesome character, and my favorite in the series. She's totally an Asuka expy with major improvements but I still prefer Asuka. But this franchise might just be tied up there with Zoids and Evangelion as my top favorite anime/manga franchises.

If you read the description in the pic of my new workspace, you will get a hint at a new drawing I'm working on (not related to College Of Chaos for once!)

Well, move in was easy, now the challenge is surviving. Wish me luck, and I'm gonna keep writing and drawing (as well as chilling with friends and studying).
