Aegis Fate

That's what I've decided to call this little story I've been working on for awhile. Not sure how I'll portray the meaning of it into the actual comic, but I'm sure I can work something out (I thought the phrase was pretty catchy, so...).

I based this story's characters off of the Maple Story characters of my friends (myself, too, semi-included), symbiotes (I'm a HUGE fan of what Marvel did with the symbiotes, so...), the drawings and other art that those same friends shared with me, and characters I've come up with on my own from pencil and paper, set in a mythical(ish) timeline. (Think Oblivion, LoTR, etc)

For now, aside from character sheets, only the back stories and text versions of comic scenes (to be drawn, by the way) in the current storyline are posted on my blog. Please give them a read---comments/critique are welcome.

Thanks.

Here's a little snippet from one of them.

From: 346 ED: Castle Quarter (Part 3-1)::Disturbing Revelations

"But to his surprise, Raziel didn't follow his newly-attempted direction. No, the wyvern took a hard left, and headed in a straight line away from the field. With so much weight on his shoulders, he couldn't grasp what was going on until his wyvern and his armor began to take the color of a sickly orange glow, and Sprawl, who formed enough of himself to speak, screamed in the best human sentence the symbiote could muster, "SKYFIRE!!!"

"Skyfire?!" Ark took a quick look up and saw all of his vision filled with fire and brimstone that opted to take the trio out in near-simultaneous succession. Using the quickest thinking that he and his symbiote combined could come up with, he brought up his shield out of aperture, brought it to bear over his head, and brought up the quickest fire-resistant barrier that he could---but there simply wasn't enough time."


So...yeah. Enjoy!

Can be found on my other blog. Swing by my account to find it.

So one thing I discovered about my Macbook today is that it uses magnets to stay shut. Now I knew this beforehand as it was detailed to me on various tech blogs, but it slipped my mind until this evening when I accidentally engaged the sleep mode by simply placing a magnet on the laptop body. This not only scared the shit out of me for fear that I had deactivated my new laptop with a magnet by mistake, but it also enlightened me as to where the magnets on the device are, and how powerful they are.

For instance shown here is a photo of a keychain LED light suspended in midair by the power of the magnet on the right side of the monitor. It is not especially heavy, but I would not expect it to dangle freely from the side of my monitor. Nor would I expect a chain dog collar to hang freely either, and yet here it is below.

Its quite surprising really. I wonder what else can hang from it?? 

Also I think its interesting that I can engage sleep mode without closing the laptop just by using a magnet. Although, I question how safe it is to do so, and so I'm not going to make a habit of doing it...ever. But its still interesting to me.

Scooter Man is alive!

My faith in the Scooter Man restored.

Today is progressing poorly.

Its barely noon and already today I have split my lip, come short on cash for food, found out my CD's are warped so they spin funny in my CD player, and flattened a praying mantis with my car. Hopefully these negative events are just a prelude to something awesome that will make it all better, like say winning the lottery.

Edit: The day only got worse. But I don't really want to talk about it.

Phase 1: Collect underpants

lol wut. My macbook came in today. Its pretty much amazing. I am afraid that it might replace my PC.

Wait...is that a bad thing? XP

Let me wipe that egg off my face, please.

So the plan was to begin tracking the times that the Scooter Man drove past my home, in an attempt to figure out some sort of schedule for his nightly routine. The only problem is that I haven't heard the familiar groan of his engine since that post. I hope he's only taking a week off; it would be very embarrassing if I never heard him again.
