Welcome to my 2nd WORLD. This is a place where most posts are about the story my friend and I are writing called "Burnin' the Bridge!"
Normally this is found on my deviantart, but I suppose I could post a few things around here on MyO.
So anyway, this is a story featuring me and my friends. (These names are our usernames for the story): ~Roxanne de Vira (the writer)
~Raven Liasson (R.I.P. Samantha "Raven" Parker)
~Mai (Hien) Huong (yours truly and the artist)
~Ike Katayama (my boyfriend, Ike-kun himself~! ^o^)
~Kyoung-Mi Park (Nii Jyeni)
~Sophia Summers
~Elizabeth Burke
There are 6 more boy characters to the story, but they are only made-up characters I've created for the group.
Anyway, I suppose I should tell you who they are. ~Jackson Ryukojo
~Bastion Falkner
~Charlie Alexander
~Scott Garcia
~Simon Alexander
~Insung Lee
AH, BUT! For the story, we're also paired.
And they are!
~JacksonxRoxanne (Roxson?)
~IkexMai (No combo here... -.- NO, don't even suggest Maike. It sounds ridiculous.)
~SimonxSophia (Syphion xD)
~InsungxKyoung-Mi (Seung-Mi xD)
~CharliexElizabeth (Charlibeth XD)
Bastion doesn't have one because... Well, that's a secret until then.
Scott and Raven are not paired (though originally would have been) because they hate each other though they have to cooperate. It doesn't lead into a relationship.
Anyway, together, they've come to make a small group as to which they call themselves the Arashi Kaisen, or Tempest Revolution.
Until then, enjoy my "Burnin' the Bridge!" WORLD. I will eventually post up some things about the story.
The characters of "Burnin' the Bridge!" ready to sing!
And now for the video this picture was used in. ^_^ "Burnin' the Bridge! - Reactor Meltdown"
I'm kinda getting tired of this, but whatever. It's just to keep people up to date otherwise it may confuse people.
SO AS OF NOW IN 2010, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE STORY "BURNIN' THE BRIDGE!" WILL FINALLY GET TO WORK!
NOTE THAT I SAID "POSSIBILITY."
(Gah, I REALLY don't like the new Otaku system with these postings...)
So yeah. Names have been changed again.
Well...just one...mine. Whatever, I was okay with it.
Codenames of everyone has been changed.
Nadeshiko Masayume --> Mai Hien Huong
Since I'm Vietnamese, my name needs to match my nationality. Thus I chose Mai Huong.
Together it means "fragrance of a cherry blossom" or "cherry blossom fragrance." Either way, you get the idea.
Hien means "gentle; quiet; grace."
I should really look up more on my Vietnamese heritage...
Okay, now the Codenames. Girls
Roxanne De Vira -- WindChaser
Mai Huong -- ShardFeather
Raven Liasson -- DarkLight
Kyoung-Mi Park -- AshWalker
Elizabeth Burke -- CageBreaker
Sophia Summers -- BrightEyes Boys
Jackson Ryukojo -- DarkBlade
Bastion Falkner -- BlizzardFur
Scott Garcia -- BlackHeart
Ike Katayama -- DarkFire
Insung Lee -- Impact
Simon Alexander -- TrailBlazer
Charlie Alexander -- Dexter
...I've realized most of them have "Dark" in their codenames.
Whatever, not like I can do anything about it anymore. She's in charge of those anyway.
Any questions asked, I'll put up the link to the writer.
Er...I'm kinda redesigning some of the uniforms of the Arashi Juusannin cast.
Some will have little change, some will have a lot.
Currently under progress or has already been done:
-Roxanne De Vira (fixing it up here and there)
-Raven Liasson (same as Roxanne)
-Nadeshiko Masayume (changed the skirt thingy)
-Ike Katayama (fixed a few things here and there)
-Bastion Falkner (MAJOR REDESIGNING)
The others haven't been worked on yet. For the time being, those are the ones I'm working on so far.
Until further notice, mostly everyone is getting a little fixed up.
Those in line of getting fixed up:
-Kyoung-Mi Park (add a little more to her uniform)
-Sophia Summers (fix up uniform a bit)
-Elizabeth Burke (fix it up here and there)
-Jackson Ryukojo (add a little more to his uniform)
-Charlie Isshin (not sure whether he may need to be redesigned)
-Simon Isshin (fix up uniform a bit, plus he uses a bo stick, too)
-Insung Lee (doing something about his long cloak a bit)
-Scott Garcia (add a little more to his uniform)
Aagh...I can't believe we had to put in 13 PEOPLE! >>
I blame myself and Roxanne for liking that unlucky number anyway... >.<
Why do we like that number? For Roxanne, she never said yet.
For me? I found $30 on the floor one Friday the 13th. XD
ANYWAY! Beach Volleyball pic. Yeah. Sorry for all the delayments. It's supposed to be for my "Thank You For 300+ Votes" pic, but I'm not at 300+ yet. xP
But Roxanne is nagging at me to get it done and I'd probably reach 300+ by then. (Yeah, I'm only like 12 away... >>) My votes kept increasing during those times because it was supposed to be the 200+ one. =X
And I'm no good at drawing shirtless guys and that's why it's taking me a while. She wanted me to make Jackson shirtless and Charlie also, but Charlie's just walking away to go surfing. XD
Thank God that the rest of the boys are wearing shirts! >>
Ike would never go shirtless anyway because of his curse mark on his back, DUH. Dx Insung and Simon don't feel comfortable shirtless. XD Bastion, too. ^^"
If I draw them all shirtless, I will tackle Roxanne...
IN FACT! She was lecturing me this one night and when I went to bed, I had a freakin' nightmare (well I'm not sure if you'd call it a nightmare) that it was just me, Roxanne, and the rest of the girls walking down to join the boys at the beach.
When we arrive, the boys were SHIRTLESS! DX I almost woke up screaming!
Damn it, she poisoned my mind... >>"
Anyway, back to the beach thingy.
So...I'm not good at drawing legs... >> That's why most of the characters I draw have jeans, pants, etc. Even girls with their long skirts. (ROXINE OFTEN DOESN'T WEAR SKIRTS EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN OCCASIONS! 8D)
BLAH. I've already got the Roxanne (who served the ball), Raven (trying to wake up a not-yet-existing-sleeping-Bastion), Kyoung-Mi (watching the ball fly over net), Nade (noticing Ike's getting ready to spike it), and Sophia (trying to not let Ike spike the ball despite how short she is) done.
The boys are currently Ike (spiking the ball over net since he's the star volleyball pro ), Insung (telling Ike to spike the ball), Simon (being a lazyass and just standing in the back while watching), and Jackson (who I hated drawing so much!!! >> And he's yelling at the non-existing-Bastion to wake up).
There's supposed to be Charlie and Elizabeth in the back, heading out to the ocean with a surfboard in hand (CHARLIE'S A SURFER BOY! 8D) and then there's also supposed to be Scott flying a small plane above holding a banner saying "Thanks for 300+"
Don't blame me, it was all Roxanne's idea really... >>
Oh well.
Summary of the first book to the "Burnin' the Bridge" story. It may be updated though within time. But for now, enjoy. ^^
There are plenty of ways to start off the summer in Southern California, but none better for local orphans Roxanne de Vira, Raven Liasson, Nadeshiko Masayume, Kyoung-Mi Park, Sophia Summers, and Elizabeth Burke than a weekend at the beach. The surf, the sun, the pranks, and the nightly scary movies wrap up the weekend nicely.
That is, until one quiet night a few days later, when Roxanne's closest friend Raven Liasson is hit and killed by a drunk driver. When all traces of her vanish from everyone's minds except for Roxanne and Raven's older brother, Richard Liasson, Roxanne goes into shock and is sent to the hospital, where the doctors cannot find the cause of her stress. When Roxanne is finally released from the hospital, she tries to stay away from anything that might remind her of her best friend...
Later that summer, a few days before school began, while at the mall, Roxanne and her friends are informed that the town will be evacuated due to a wildfire nearby, as a precaution. But the girls refuse to leave without their belongings, and sneak away in the panic and commotion. They all run straight to their homes to grab their things, but are too late to get out, as the fires quickly reach the town and engulf it in flames. They, and a handful of others in town, while minorly injured and still shaking in surprise, manage to survive the event, and search the charred remains of their hometown for each other. They stumble upon a small area located in the middle of their middle school, completely decimated, save for a small field of grass, where they first met each other. Each girl falls to her knees and joins Roxanne in her hymn, as the merciful rain begins to wash over the town, slowly putting out the fires.
The aftermath of the raging fire has left Roxanne, Nadeshiko, Kyoung-Mi, Sophia, and Elizabeth, and other remaining survivors without their families, and without homes. But luckily Richard and his close friend Nathan Clarke, on leave from the Navy to fulfill their college educations, offer to take the girls in and move with them to San Francisco until they're old enough to take care of themselves. When Roxanne sarcastically suggests they all might as well be adopted, Richard and Nathan unexpectedly agree to it. After a long while discussing the matter with each other, Roxanne and the girls accept the offer, believing that they'd be in good hands while starting anew in the bustling city by the bay.
But even before their bags are packed, not that there was much left to pack after the fires, Roxanne is informed by the authorities of the results of a search her foster mother had begun years ago. While looking for her birth parents, Roxanne's grandparents were discovered to be living in Montana. She goes to visit them, and is greeted warmly. But the newly optimistic mood is shattered, as Roxanne's grandparents pass away later that week. However, in their wills, Roxanne, being the only remaining member of the De Vira family, is finally left with her inheritance, the family fortune, and several summer homes, one of which happens to be a mansion just outside San Francisco, with room enough for the entire family. And even while Richard and Nathan manage the money and keep most of it in the banks, Roxanne and her newfound sisters are pretty much given free reign over their lives. Except for school. As the girls' now legal guardians, Richard and Nathan convince them to attend a boarding school, Pacific Bay Academy, nearby. The girls are thrilled and momentarily distracted. Until it was time to head for their new home.
Upon first glance, the mansion, set in an isolated part of the area and surrounded by dense forests, doesn't seem very promising. But upon closer inspection, the girls come to the conclusion that the third floor is haunted, the basement is sealed off, and the attic is unreachable due to missing stairs, bats, and creaking, groaning noises. With the help of several contractors and a ton of patience, the house is soon good enough to live in, and the lives of two guys caring for half a dozen rich teenage girls can now run smoothly, minus the chaos you'd expect from their situation.
Yeah, that's the summary so far for Book 1. Again, there may be small updates to this in some time. But for now, hope you enjoyed.
