Claudia

(spoilers ahead, but who cares lol)

*caught her in an odd moment lol* My beloved Claudia, my character in Mass Effect. She's got beautiful green eyes (she loves red eyeshadow) and blonde hair (the longest I could get lol) and she's certainly not feminine in any shape or form!

She's a paragon (she won't even hit dirty prisoners) who has the survivour backstory and was born an orphan on earth (d'awww)and signed to the alliance and soon as she was able.

She's an engineer, but she doesn't put much store in special attacks. Her motto is "just shoot it already". Ever since her arrival on Citadel at 18, when she first saw other aliens, she though Turians were beautiful and believes in the rights of all species.

She was close to Ashley, both female soldiers with ties to earth and saved her life in the field, leaving Kaiden to die. She believed that Ashley had more to do to redeem herself before she could die, love for other species mainly.

She defeated Saren with the help of Garrus (whom she held a torch for) and Wrex, wearing only a skimpy light armour suit and a specialization in first aid.

Later on she became good friends with Miranda and eventually came onto Garrus (in more than one way LOL) after a make or break decision, where he almost became consumed with vengence. She took on the collectors, with both their help and managed to save everyone, except for Legion because she thought Samara could handle being in charge.

She attempted to keep some fish in her cabin but they all died. So instead she has a space hamster called Terry. In my head canon, she later grows her hair out into pigtails like this:

and she secretly has a dress like this stashed in her wardrobe:

Which of course, she wears with big black biker boots. She has an old gang tattoo on the left of her lower back, from when she was in a gang back on earth as a child. However she denies of all knowledge of this nowadays. Despite what everyone says, after the destruction of Normandy S-1, she wanted to rename it Ivanhoe, but everyone though that was stupid and renamed it Normandy S-2.

She doesn't have any plans for the future, due to her dangerous missions but she cares more for Garrus than just someone to blow off steam with LOL.

This is the woman who won't get outta my head right now, she's a huge influence on me, being a female character in a predominatly male focused game. It's so nice bioware lets us choose our genders :D i'm glad as they made such an independant free willed character such as Claudia.

Mass Effect


Oh my gaaaawd. I'm so mad right now.

I hate it when I find things I enjoy immensely. I god damn hate it! Why? because they always end LOL. Sad but true (and i'm not really someone who joins a fanbase, though thinking now... maybe I should...LOL)

I get so mad when things get to me and take over my life for weeks and weeks afterwards, it happened with Berserk (albeit in the WTF?????!!! way) and now it's happening with Mass Effect guh! I bought 1 a while ago cheaply and then I instantly had to buy 2, now i'm waiting for 3 LOL but i'm so saaad. What will I do until that time lol. I'm such a fangirl!

However this usually happens to me with games and books, i'll get sadder and sadder as I realise i'm running out of pages or that we're on that *sniff* final mission. I try to put it off, I won't play/read for weeks, trying to stretch it out but then like all things it has to end and i'll be left heartbroken, like a broken beaten tramp (lol metaphors, not working today LOL). It all comes from being very loving and getting attached to things -_-, why oh why can't I have a heart of steel?

Usually, I can integrate the things I loved in my own work. Like Alix's story in DA:O, which was the inspiration for Alix in Fortuna, or that heart-wrenching love scene in interstella:5555, but I can't do that with ME? why? it's a damn sci-fi and I only write fantasy and I don't want to give up on Fortuna, though Claudia (my ME character) keeps nagging at my mind to write her a story but I won't! I must resist! Even though I already have a beginning and everything LOL. Actually it was my obsession over FFXII that started La Fortuna, I blame games for everything lol.

What's up with Saint Seiya? Episode 16


So yaa, recently i've been visting a little website called 4chan, yeah I know. However you need not worry I stay away from all that porno and horrid gifs (I did wander in there by accident once, god... the memories still haunt me) and I usually stick to CM, which is an image board all about animated men, ooooh yeah (because of course animated men are the best LOL) so perfect :D

Anyway, usually there's a thread up there with some Saint Seiya pics and thus I was intrigued, so many attractive men LOL (I kid, I heard the story was good too) so I thought i'd have a gander at it. These are my first impressions up to episode 16.

First of all I must say I love the green haired woman Shaina the most, considering that all the other women in this show (except maybe for Marin) are complete and utter idiots. I thought maybe Shino might be ok, but then her "is that you? grandfather?" spirit appeared and told her to pansy up and be more womanly, or the men wouldn't like her. Oh gawwwwd *rolls eyes*. The two girls, who are so "eh" I can't even remember their names (everyone's name in this appears to start with a "s" away), are all:
So yeah. No love lost there.

Also I have to admit this show is unintentionally hilarous! The fact that Shiryu dies at least three times before the 10th episode. That guy must have some sort of Deus ex machina machine, I swear to god.

He also does it in completely stupid ways, it's as if he wants a chance to come back to life all the time, as if it somehow makes him more attractive to Shunmei or something. I mean seriously the dude loses 2/3s of his blood so he can fix his and seiya's armour, which was their fault in the first place because they were both so stubborn -_-, and Shiryu is all sorts of guillible, and then goes fighting again, where he loses MORE blood and is only saved by... a pressure point? which somehow sucks up all his blood... yaaah, i'm no fancy science person (lol) but I don't think that's how it works :P.

I worry for this guy's future, I mean what other ways is he gonna find to almost kill himself? ooooh just let me run in front of his car, let me taste that raw chicken that's been left out for a bit, no no don't worry, i'm sure it's not radioactive. uuuufffffff!

Also don't get me started on Docrates (or Socrates maybe lol, was there some sort of copyright issue?) whose super power is making socrates big ole bearded face appear with evil red eyes, yeah this face:

Oh man.........

However sometimes they all live up to their reputation for being hotties and we were treated to a fanservicy, Shun, in the shower in this latest episode, does that make up for all the ball crap?? only time will tell :D
