Compiled Biographical Nonsense Intro

... Hum.

Anyone want to give me a KMV character to attempt writing a coherent bio of?

'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.' -Arthur C. Clarke
Partial explanation for elem. skill in IH plus really quick character-match chart.

Fire (Gale): heat energy generation (gas flamethowers?) via matter conversion to energy (thermite burn?)
Elec (Kain): emp generation/plasma arcs via matter conversion
Wind (Cara): weaker combination of the above; convection, etc.
Ice (Lowen): endothermic chemical reactions/nanoscale reaction particles suck moisture from air (less energy taken from generator while in clouded areas?)
Water (Alexander): hyper-fast nuclear modification + seeding for water particle creation? some form of containment is necessary
Earth (Sarisa?): gravity field alteration ??? (ask again later)
Life (WIZ-01): computer-based holograms (solid interface--no clue how that happens)
Light (Tian): photon/mid-band laser/nitrogen laser generation through nuclear? reactions and atmospheric material
Dark (Antinomy): absorbs light like light bulbs absorb darkness (no explanation whatsoever it's just there)
Null (Nightmare/Elias (Unu)): manipulates four/three/two quantum universal forces to bend spacetime?
<天才>: sheer power of literary convenience, contrivance and arrogance

Red Mountain and Cafe Yoru should totally have some kind of bitter advertising war.

standardized naming conventions

A full list of plots presently in my head, presumably by timeline. Prismatic's location is a bit fuzzy. It has to be, logically, before Serena's appearance and significantly before KC/DeM... possibly the first story chronological in the 'new kmv'. I'm not sure.
Church Organ 1/2 have to be in between IH:Peri and 50W, as the Agents are active and 'Agent U.' isn't yet in the Dark Odyssey Collective universe.
Yes, 2005/2004 both have Official Rewrite Titles for some random reason (largely because I now have a number of prequels and just calling 05 'the prequel' gets confusing)
Anything not IH/Pris/50W is a Distinctly Unfinished Story Which Is Probably Short. I can't even remember what LHS stands for, but it sounds odd enough.

(Prismatic/2006-B)?
IH 2005/Prequel = IH : Aphelion
IH 2004/Original = IH : Perihelion
(Church Organ Mel. 1/2)?
(LHS)?
50 Ways to Steal the Hope Diamond/2006-A
IH : Keystone Crisis
IH : Deus ex Machina (more properly Dea ex Machina--but who's counting?)

Yes, this will have made very little sense to the vast majority of people, in all probability.

in-depth movie reviews

If the most sympathetic character in a movie is the homicidal computer, either there's something wrong with the movie or something wrong with Sonuna...

:O
Anyone who can tell where my BN planet names (minus the top two and things like 'Raven', both categories are mainly random) come from gets a cookie.
And yes, I know Davros isn't technically correct--I just couldn't remember the actual name.

lengthy PRI excerpt

"Okay, fine, if you want to be a joy-killing not particularly good love interest—"
"I protest that statement!"
"—or whatever you call yourself, I'll explain in a flashback."
"Why a flashback? Can't you just tell me, I don't know, in plain text?"
"Fine, fine, if you just want to be a spoil sport."
"Can we get on with this whole explanation?"
"Sure." She glared at him again. "So, as you know, we were not exactly doing very well against Sterling all things considered. Then, thankfully, a large explosion happened during which you got that rather irritating-looking head wound, which you really should bandage. A large zeppelin appeared from somewhere deep within the fabric of space-time or time-space and came very close to crushing Sterling himself; in actuality, it failed and only knocked him equally unconscious, thanklessly."
"That much," Mikkau said, "I remember."
"At that point you did... something quite thoroughly stupid, I don't remember exactly what myself and she can't think of anything, which gave you that head wound. The zeppelin dispatched an entire battalion of presumably Swedish pirate ninjas which promptly for some presumably-tenuous reason decided to kidnap us. After some time of traveling we wound up here. I hadn't been searched properly as they only took my gunblade; my screwdriver was close at hand, and I spent the next forty-five minutes disabling the various security measures they had in place. Hardly high quality stuff. As soon as I poked my head out into the corridor, those two attacked me; one was wielding my gunblade which I promptly retrieved and went about doing that to them."
"Oh. Thanks for the exposition, I don't know how the author would have functioned without it."
"HA!" She shouted, pointing at him accusingly.
"What?"
"You broke the fourth wall! You refused to break the fourth wall until now, but you finally did it! If we get back alive, Kuruta owes me several hundred dollars' worth in various raw materials."
"Fourth wall?"
"You mentioned the author, therefore you broke the fourth wall."
"What is this fourth wall of which you speak?"
"When a character in a fictional story refers to the fact that they are in a fictional story, as opposed of course to a real story."
"Wait, we're in a fictional story?"
"She's telling a terrible story, though it shouldn't diminish her glory."
"Except she's unmarried and we aren't pirates."
"Wait, you keep swapping between acknowledging this fact and denying it. What are you trying to pull, Mikkau?"
"Trying to pull? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Rrrrr, you're so irritating."
"And shouldn't we, you know, be getting out of here before the presumably deadly Swedish pirate ninjas, which are supposed to be simply Swedish pirates except for errors inserted by the author in an earlier scene—"
"—you're doing it again—"
"—find this entire mess and do something entirely reasonable such as for instance killing us? I have an allergy to death."
"You're kidding."
"No." Mikkau brought out some small piece of paper from the pocket underneath his jacket, placing it on the ground. "I have a doctor's note and everything, you know."
After a moment of studying it, Julien looked back up. "Um..."

Prototyping Segment

--Canon and background
(written in hope of eventual KMVRP)
Canon is usually, if working within a specific fandom, referring to knowledge of IC past events. In the KMV it usually refers to...
C1: AIO canon up to present day, following only official timelines and events. Minus the movies.
C2: The above plus the 'gaiden' happenings in the TH/Town of Odyssey timeline--the most common.
C3: Specialized canon of the BC Universe. Although just about anyone who wanted to bother could obtain an encyclopedic knowledge of this canon, only Serena, Xander and the rest of the various BC characters have an 'innate' knowledge.
C4: 'War' canon. Generally speaking, full knowledge of this type belongs only to Nightmare and Lancer, although with sufficient very good explanation it might be allowed as a character possession.

"Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination."

also, do any of my ever-so-faithful readers of who there are probably two have tutorials on blog template-making?
they would be appreciated.
