Interesting video game characters

In this post, I am going to post video game characters that are more than ordinary. They are extraordinary characters that are a unique, and very colorful!

In video games, and anime, I always find the more quirky characters, to be far more interesting. I like flashy, unique, and mysterious characters! Better than the plain characters with boring attires, and personalities!

I will split characters into different category types, which is as follows.

Narcissists 

Are a character archetype mainly found in the Suikoden games, and is the only form of media to actually give these characteristics a name. However, I've seen them in not only Suikoden, but Chrono Cross, and various anime such as Rave Master. "Narcissists", are characters who dress very colorfully, and tend to have flamboyant personalities. They are usually seen with their signature item, the rose, or any other flower of choice! They are usually men who are very into how they look, and dress. Suikoden in particular, narcissists tend to be nobles. The flashy clothing is how nobles used to dress, back in time. 

Suikoden narcissists tend to have a love for making new friends, and once you've recruited them as an ally, they vow to do anything for a friend!

Many narcissists use swords as their weapons, Suikoden 2, and 5 are the only exceptions.

Simone  

Suikoden II

One of my favorite characters in the Suikoden series. He fights with roses that he throws at enemies from afar, while facing the opposite direction! He joins the hero after you give him his "Rose Brooch", that he lost. 

Simone on the Suikoden wiki

Josephine

Suikoden V

Josephine is one of 2 narcissists in the Suikoden games that is a girl. She escapes her boring life, by living in a town full of artists! Her weapon is her parasol. (I used Peach from Super smash brothers, as a reference to draw this. So if the pose looks familiar, that's why. lol)

Pierre

Chrono Cross

          Pierre is one of three people who can help the main character Serge, sneak into the "Viper Mansion".  Pierre's efforts, are absolutely hysterical, and a must watch on YouTube.
It's noted in the game, that he has a fake french accent.

Tricksters

Tricksters are gadget type characters, they like mechanical things, and can play tricks on people.
This group is mostly Suikoden based, like Narcissists, they always have a trickster character in each of their games. In the second, and third games, we meet a robot named Gadget, who was made by the trickster characters. Most tricksters either use a long range weapon, or specifically a hammer, as their weapon of choice.

Meg
Suikoden I & II

Meg on the Suikoden wiki

Meg is one of my favorite characters, she has a thrill for adventure! Her weapon is throwing knives. In the third game, we meet Meg's daughter Belle.

Rita

Suikoden IV & Tactics

Suiko IV takes place 150 years before suikoden I, so she is probably an ancestor to other tricksters like Meg, and Belle.

Her weapon is a hammer, which is also used by Gadget and Belle.

Rita is a the magician out of the tricksters, even surpassing most mage characters in the Suikodens she appears in. Her hammer also has higher damage than other magic based characters, making her a powerful magician to be reconed with!

Lu

Suikoden V

Lu has a very eccentric personality, that most people don't like, but I think she's cool! Her crossbow is a special weapon designed particularly for her, it can shoot up to 4 times consecutively in a row. She also has a special ability that allows her to drop crossbows out of the sky, to do damage towards enemies.

Lu on the suikoden wiki 

Hans Bearnt
Growlanser II

Hans is rather goofy and Mischievous! Not only does he have goggles like Lu, but his weapon is throwing knives like Meg.

He has the very essence of a trickster.

Sha-Kon

Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria

Sha-Kon on the Valkyrie Profile Wiki

Sha-Kon was an inventor, and liked creating mechanical dolls. She even went as far to try and put real souls in these dolls of hers. It's rumored that one of her own inventions killed her.

 (Valkyrie Profile involves you finding dead warriors known as Einherjar, to help you on your mission. Most characters are dead, and are able to help you in battle, when you find a relic of theirs.)
Another character actually refers her as a Trickster, and her love for gadgets, and making dolls, makes her a perfect addition to this list!

Masked, Jesters & Clowns I've never been a fan of clowns, but I've always liked Jesters, and masked type characters.

Mizuti
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and Lost Ocean

I haven't played this game, so I can't say much, other than the fact that I think she looks cool!

Check her out on the wiki

Harle

Chrono Cross

Unlike Pierre, Harle speaks with a real french accent. She is a major character in Chrono Cross, and as mysterious as Chrono Cross's two moons! Her weapons is something called a "Shot", which I think is a long range weapon that varies depending on the character. 

Harle on the Chrono Wiki

Skelly

Chrono Cross

Skelly is a dead clown skeleton. Once the hero Serge finds his body parts, he joins Serge's team as thanks for finding him. Although he is long dead, he is a very happy go lucky character.

Skelly on the Chrono Wiki

Creatures

Quina
Final Fantasy IX

An unintentionally mischievous chef, apart of a very rare clan. Quina loves to eat, and look for "yummy yummies". Their quirky nature, and ability to eat enemies, and learn their abilities, has always interested me. Most people hate Quina because they're too strange, but I think Quina really cool, and fascinating! I also like mage type characters, which is what Quina is.
Quina is not confirmed to be male, or female. But I've always found Quina to be a feminine name, so I've always referred to her as a girl, but Quina is really a they.

Quina on the Final Fantasy wiki

Poshul

Chrono Cross

A fluffy pink dog that talks with a lisp! She is the first character that will join the heroes team, and instantly one of my favorite characters!

Poshul on the wiki

Mojo

Chrono Cross


Not to be confused with Mojo-Jojo from the PowerPuff Girls. Mojo is a 6 foot tall voodoo doll, who just decides to come to life once an item is received. Despite being created solely for evil purposes, Mojo would like to spread love, and positivity! He even changes his name to Mojoy! (When this event happens, you can change it back to Mojo, which is what I do.)

Honorable Mentions

Zorn & Thorn, Final Fantasy IX.

They are villains 100% of the way, and they are really creepy! Especially if you look into certain conspiracys things about them. But even though they're creepy, they're creepily interesting!

Norff, Unlimited Saga

Red Mage, Romancing Saga: Minstrel Song

Sword Art Online review

In today's post, I am going to write about the anime Sword Art Online.

For those of you who do not know, Sword Art Online, or SAO for short... Is an anime about a virtual reality game called Sword Art Online (Shocking). When players log onto SAO for the first time, they get trapped inside of the game! The only way out is to beat the game. The only problem is, if you die in the game, you die in real life too. Not to mention there are like 100 levels each, with difficult bosses.
SAO is as it says, there is no magic, and all characters mainly use their weapons and/or weapon based skills.
The second part of the anime entails another Virtual Reality game called Alfheim Online, which involves characters as different classes of fairies, and being magic based instead.
The game stars Kazuya, who uses Kirito as his username. Kirito is a solo player, and tends to go on missions alone. Every now and again, another character will accompany him. Eventually, Kirito joins up with Asuna, a girl with orange hair. (Yep, that's my description, a girl with orange hair.)

Sword Art Online has lot's of action, adventure, and romance.

The things that I like about Sword Art Online are as follows...

 • Battle scenes - SAO has some really awesome battles.

 • Interesting characters - It has some interesting characters, but not enough screen time!

•  The Worlds - The worlds presented in SAO, and Alfheim are very mystical and magical, they're very interesting places. The story has some interesting twists.

The things I didn't like about SAO.... 

• Romance - The anime comes off as an action adventure anime, not as a romance So when there are episodes that really get lovey dovey,it just turned me off, especially since I don't care for boy x girl romances. 

• Un-needed Pervert and Ecchi moments - As I said above, it comes off as an action adventure anime. Not an ecchi anime, so when Asuna's boob gets groped, or Kirito's cousin is in the shower, those were not enjoyable moments for me, AT ALL!

Not to mention, that there was just no need for any of the perverted scenes. Considering I am not attracted to women, I do not want to see that kind of thing! Like keep it in Romance, Yuri, and Ecchi anime!

•  Incest Love - (Slight spoiler alert) 

Kirito's female cousin is in love with him. The fact that there are more incestual one sided/loves in anime than homosexual characters/couples, makes no sense.

I just think the incest thing is getting old, like seriously what is with Japan's obsession with incestual romances? They can't even add one good gay male/female character in an anime, but every sister and brother want to bone each other in every anime that's ever existed, it's just annoying!

 SAO was okay, but just didn't like it that much. It starts off as an action-adventure fantasy anime, and then switches to romance, and the story just keeps switching itself. It's like the anime just didn't know what genre it wanted to be. The weird perverted parts were the last straw, when I heard a second season was being made, but it was basically becoming a female ecchi type anime, I was out! I had no desire to ever watch this series again, I'll just watch Log Horizon instead! Overall, It has it's good moments that really had me watching episode after episode, but then it also has it's bad moments where it was just dull and boring. It also tends to be cliché, but it's okay, I would give it a 6 out of 10.

I also posted this on Anime Planet here.

Psychic Scripts and other things?

This week I am going to talk about my experiences with psychic scripts, and spirit guides!

Scripts

A few weeks ago my friend Heddy told me about psychic Scripts, also known as "outside programming", which is very similar to the Evil Eye. 

They're these things that get psychically implanted into you by other people, and make you do things that are out of character. This can also be attributed to weird thoughts, or images, that are not your own. An example would be if you were a big fan of Lady Gaga, and one day, you're like... I hate Lady Gaga! But then you go, what? No I don't, I hate lady gaga. 

Scripts are basically thoughts, imagery, or actions, that you feel, that are not really your own feelings. It's someone, or something else making you feel something/someway that you're not.

The way to get rid of them is to cancel them out of your head by saying cancel, cancel. Although you can do whatever you want to get rid of them. I imagine myself pulling a piece of paper out of my head, and bursting it into flames, sometimes I try something different like shredding the paper with blades of wind, or blades of water...etc..

My friend Janelle as a fortune teller. 

As of late, I've been imagining a piece of paper getting destroyed in my mind. Since if you physically move your hand to your head and make a hand gesture where your hand moves, people will think you're crazy...

There was a script that someone or something put on me, I was seeing pigmen talking weird languages in my mind, shadow figures taking shape as my friends, werewolf creatures that were making me afraid of going outside. Once Heddy told me it was a script, and what scripts are, and how to cancel them, I was able to overcome it and everything went back to normal! There are good scripts, and then bad scripts, the one that was making me afraid of outside and seeing werewolves was a bad script that someone or something somehow put on me. It started happening in February, so I guess that is when the script was put on me. It was also the same time I started seeing a blonde nature woman in my mind, which later I realized was one of my spirit guides!

Some scripts are just....weird. 

When Heddy, and I were talking about scripts, one of our co-workers yelled at no one, complaining about how the shoe was in the wrong place in the shoe section. Heddy said, that was a script! We started laughing. that script was harmless, but there are others that are dangerous! If someone puts a bad script on someone, karma will of course, get them back, and it always hits the person 3 times harder! Scripts are noticeable because they are out of character, like the lady yelling for no reason. Scripts can also make people fight each other, or have problems with another. You can delete scripts from other people, and even if you don't delete the script entirely out of someone else, it still does good to them. 

I've discovered something about scripts; I am sure we have all had weird thoughts or images that pop into our heads and just will not go away? Those are scripts! I know for sure because when I would get.. say a clown pop in my head and it won't go away (I'm afraid of clowns), I imagine pulling a paper out of my head and burning it.. and the clown image goes away. This happened once and it worked!

Anytime something pops in my head that doesn't fit, I just delete the script, and automatically, the thought disappears in my head. I even took a script out of my friend Rebecca's head, she is afraid of bugs, and was thinking too much about it. After I deleted her script, I asked her and she said she wasn't thinking about bugs anymore!

I've noticed it helps to put an image of the thing that is bothering you on the mental piece of paper, so if you want to stop thinking about clowns, apply the clown image on the page and then destroy/cancel out the script.

I delete scripts all of the time, and the weird or scary thoughts always disappear. Some come back, but the point is they go away when I get rid of them, some are like boomerangs.

Spirit Guides

Spirit guides are entities that look out for you, they tend to be people that you knew in a past life that are looking after you in your current life.
If you haven't met yours yet, you can ask it to give you a sign of it's existence. Even go to a deep place in your mind to help yourself find them, for me, they have appeared randomly when I wasn't expecting them.

Heddy has two spirit guides that she knows of, one is named Amber and the other is Maurice.
Rebecca has one that she knows of, hers she can only hear, it has the same voice as her but the voice comes from the back of her head and is a lower pitch. She can tell when it's just her thoughts, or her spirit guide. Rebecca's guide accurately told her where a Kirara plushie from Inuyasha was at a convention once, there was no way she would have seen it passing by, her guide just told her to go left right left, look up etc..

So far, I've met about 5 spirit guides, each one has a different element attached to them.
The first one that I've met, I mentioned before. She is a nature woman, she has mostly a green attire and blonde hair, with a flower crown, she is of the earth element. Her name is Gensemone (Gem-Sem-O-Nee).
Gensemone is my main spirit guide, I originally met her in February when she started appearing to me in a nature setting. Due to an event I talked about in the previous blog post.. Here
I originally thought she was some evil goddess trying to take my body over, it wasn't until a few months later when Heddy was talking to me about Spirit Guides, that I put two and two together. She was not an entity trying to take over, she was my spirit guide the whole time trying to help me out!
I was trying to figure out how to contact her, the funny part is I was on a website about spirit guides, it said that if you ask your spirit guide to show that they are there, they will give you a clue. It could  be that you see a certain word on the internet, or something. For me,  as I was reading the article, I heard a weird noise on the other side of my room. There was no one else in the room, and there was nothing else that could have made that noise. I figured that was my spirit guide giving me a hello! Since I've met Gensemone before in another life, I get the feeling she was either a leader of a group of friends (That I was a part of) or even my mother in a past life, could even be both.
It wasn't until I met my second spirit guide that I found out Gensemone's name.
She resembles these characters.

Image

A fun fact, the only time I had ever heard of the name Gensemone, was in one of the Grand Theft Auto games. Although spelled differently, it's almost the same. But Grand Theft Auto: Vice City had the radio station KCHAT, where the host Amy Sheckenhausen interviewed a woman of  Nature,

 Gethsemanee from GTA

My second spirit guide I met randomly, I was walking towards the bus stop from work. I was trying to give Rebecca some good luck, since some weird things were happening to her.

Instead of giving Rebecca luck, a woman with long blue hair, and a light blue plain ragged dress appeared to me, she was floating and holding my left hand. At first I didn't know if it was just my imagination, but my hand started to become cold. I realized that she was trying to help me become cooler, since it was a hot day. I can only make myself hotter by connecting with the energy around us.

I also saw an image of two other spirit guides, but my connection with them was not very strong just yet.

This second blue spirit guide is named Strya, and she is the water element. 

I got home that day, or the next and I decided to draw Strya and Gensemone, it wasn't until I drew them that Strya looked just like a character I had made up 5 years ago named Strya. That was when I realized that my second spirit guide's name was Strya!

Strya has a calm, quiet and shy nature. She has a sense of kindness to her.

The character I made up 5 years ago must have been her giving a nudge in my mind.

The next two I have half of a connection with, they haven't appeared to me yet like Gensemone, and Strya have. I've only seen glimpse of them and sometimes ask them for help.

The next one is Vixxen, she is all a light green and she is the wind element. Her eyes are always closed.

She looks very similar to Strya, except she has short hair and has two flower bulbs in her hair.

The fourth is Anni (Pronounced Ah-Ni), she has red hair, a white shirt and black pants. She looks kind of like a comic book character,  so far, her and Gemsemone are the only ones that are multi-colored, Vixxen and Strya are completely one color of different shades.

Anni is a fire element and I can tell she has a temper, although never against me. I feel like she was a lover in a past life, as I find myself calling her my girlfriend or my wife, which makes no sense since I am a gay male. lol.

The last one is much more recent and I actually didn't tell anyone for a few weeks, but a woman who is completely gray appeared to me one time when I was at work. At first I didn't know what was going on, I thought I was done meeting my spirit guides. At first I thought she was something else... Like Gemsemone I thought she was up to no good, but I soon realized she was another spirit guide. 

Her name came up as "Goddess of the Universe", I've since nicknamed her Jalanda, who is a character I made up that has basically the role of being a goddess of the universe. She was okay with calling her that.

She has a ragged dress like Strya and Vixxen and is completely gray with a poofy hair doo. But unlike the character I made up, who wears a red cloak and has blonde hair.. the two are completely different... but both powerful.

Her hairdo is much like Direa from Chrono Cross.

Jalanda's element is Aether, most people don't know of the fifth element. æther or ether, also called quintessence, it's very difficult to explain what aether is, and I don't have the best grasp on it either. From what I can tell, aether is everything, and nothing at the same time. The wikipedia page will explain it better. link

I soon realized that Jalanda was the most powerful of my spirit guides.

Since I have been in contact with Vixxen, and Anni, I had a feeling that I also have a spirit guide that is light, darkness and Storm. I haven't met them yet, but I think at least one of them is a male presence.

Spirit Guides can do anything for you, if you're ever afraid, you can call them out to protect you. They can easily destroy scripts or any other form of psychic attacks.

Spirit Animals

Spirit Animals have the same purpose as your Spirit Guide/s, they are there to help you.

The same way you find out your spirit guide is the same way you find your spirit animals!

Usually you can tell what your spirit animal/s are, as it tends to be an animal that you love.

Other times, if you get an animal as a gift from someone else, that is your spirit guide saying hello.

I have two known spirit animals, one of them is a turtle, since I got a turtle as a pet and I've always loved turtles/tortoises.

The other is an Owl, because I realized that I really love Owls, and one of the only animal dreams I ever had contained an Owl.. (Albeit it was a giant Owl trying to attack me, but still.)

I want to say that an elephant might be my third spirit animal.

Your spirit animals make you crazy for that animal, so you want to buy lot's of things that are shaped like them. I have purchased numerous things that are Turtles or Owls, I have Owl and turtle phone charms and even cups and mugs. 

Throwback Thursday! Post two

Welcome to Throwback Thursday post two! This is actually a pre-written TBT as it is 7/17/2014 and I just wanted to post this funny Starburst commercial from 2007!

The first part of Throwback Thursday is about the game Grim Grimoire, it's a fantastic Real time tactical game that I had played back in 2007, it was made by Vanillaware and Nippon Ichi.

I always thought of Grim Grimoire as a set of three, alongside with Soul Nomad & the world eaters and Odin Sphere. They all came out at almost the same time, Odin Sphere came out in May of 2007, Grim Grimoire came out in June 2007, and Soul Nomad came out in September of 2007. 

The ties that they have are as follows... Odin Sphere was developed by Vanillaware, and published by Atlus, Grim Grimoire was developed by both Vanillaware, and Nippon Ichi (You'll notice that Odin Sphere and Grim Grimoire have a similar art style), Soul Nomad was developed by Nippon Ichi completely. But, they all kind of connected with each other and all came out at almost the same time.

Without further adieu, the intro sequence which is awesome!

Grim Grimoire on NIS AMERICA site

Last but not least, here is the Starburst Commercial from 2007 that I remember getting into.
