Allen Walker
There is a greater meaning to life. Sulking around in your ordinary school would not work. Ah, but who cares,
the boy thought
.I just have to continue this fake mask that continues to rob me of my own self.Meet the main character. He is Allen Walker. Your ordinary school boy.
Lazily, he sauntered to the bus stop, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Yes, her. Not the kinda girl that would make any guy's heart pump madly, but one of unnoticed brightness. Ironic, he thought. Everything in his life has been extraordinary and/or torturous,, to say the least and he ended up picking a plain, nondescript girl. Oh wait, she has this hidden feelings, this hidden pain. That is why I want to reach out to her. I want to understand her, who is so much like me. So painfully beautiful.... He mused aloud in his mind.
'Oww!!' Came a shill cry from somewhere close to him. Looking down, he saw her. 'Oh, hi.', she said, carrying another smile on her face. Walker has been with him long enough to know that that the smile was crafted; like him, used to hide emotions. But, unlike him, who used a fake wall, a fake life, a fake character, she chose to reveal painstakingly little of her life. So painstakingly little, that he chose her. At first, he did not notice her as a important person in his life. But, he noticed details, many small details that formed of his impression of her. Details, was what he used to judge a person. As he always felt, details are small, tiny bits of life which tells a little of your character, and if you are patient enough, you could actually see the person fully. Of course, he reminded himself, females are tempermental and irrational creatures. Habits change, moods turn-- all part and parcel of getting close to a female.
Only then, when he noticed, she was blushing. Blushing at the intimacy they were in. 'Errr... are you okay?' Popping the redundant question whilst he respectfully took a step back.
'Would you like to... to take my hand?' The question came as much as a surprise for me as for her. It was as though someone took charge of her and blurted it out. Now both of them blushed. Though there were no people around, both of them were very conscious of what had just happened. There was a tense air around them; if one made a wrong move, the other will feel hurt. They both knew the fact in their hearts, but they are waiting to let one another think through. But, both of them have little to consider in this small action (which incidentally, have been wanting to do for the last two years)
'Its okay if you do not want to...I mean....'''she stammered on.
'I understand.' he smiled and took her delicate hand into his. 'I always have been wanting to do this...'
Both of us smiled at each other. Her smile was different from the first- the first was seen used to greet everyone, but the one to him--ah, that was a different matter entirely. That smile was seemingly reserved for special people. Special people like him. That smile melted his heart; he vowed silently to protect this girl.
'Whoa, we're gonna miss the bus!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the trip to school, the hands clung onto each other. Walker opened up the conversation first. 'When did you start... to think about asking this question?'
'Ah... that started around last year, during the end-of-year holidays, where suddenly not sitting beside you seemed boring and dull, and not just that, I suddenly feel that my life depended on your every movement, every action... What about you? When you replied, you do not look that much taken aback.'
'Mine was also around the same time, where suddenly I found out that without you, half of my heart felt empty and devoid, and how sitting beside you does not make my heart race; it simply injects a new sort of rhythm into my life, one that is weird, yet comfortable...'
'So we sorta got a crush on each other, and until now, its cleared up?'
'Yeah, sorta. Funny how life goes in this way.'
The hands were kept all the way until a teacher came in and they shifted a little for decency's sake. Barely.

Do not fret.
This is not one of my (other) philosophical ramblings. Just be patient as I will type in my first excerpt from the wonderful story. It shall start out like your ordinary, day to day life.
With a twist.
Please wait whilst this over-cramped brain of mine computes all the messy ideas into a beautiful one.
Btw, nice skin, right?

This is a serious one.I usually do not keep such good commitments.Yay?ok fine, ignore those bs. (funny that the acronym for bullshit and blogspot is the same. Hm....)And 3E4ers, who remember about the social studies on the bloody Sunday video,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFM7Ty1EEvsis the song. By U2, most probably.When I have nothing to to, I usually end up with these kinda things.
Weapons
There was once I had this idea of making the auric blasters change form to form giant bladed swords (in reference to Allen's large zweihander, and of course, without the cross), but after initial drawings(too sucky to display) I realized it was a little too much fantasy and not practical as well. Thus, that's one gone case. But, for our next guy, (and as well, unnamed. But, Kaxon would be nice...) he would have this overwhelming arsenal of weapons, mainly rifles of sorts. Superb sniper, excellent at dealing with Voids. Kaxon would be of lighting, carrying the Glaze scent of ozone.(explained later)CharacterYes, other than Kaxon (Kax for short), Alyss would be a powerful WaterWelder who carries packs of water around as weapons. She will specialise in healing instead of whacking, but packs pretty powerful skills. WaterWelders are pretty balanced out in attack and healing, but they work best in forms of defense. There is gonna be loads of other people in a organization called Dark Hoods. Classified by people who, well, wear dark hoods bearing a simple cross, they are those who fight against the Cabinet. (which are the bad, evil, sadistic guys)(who want to kill and claim every hood.)[They use the amount of hoods to see their 'rank' in the Cabinet] {And if you are thinking "What does my Cabinet have to do with Chin Kai's wild fantasies????", its actually refering to a cabinet of members in a company or organisation}{You will understand if you read a lot. Like me.}(Excuse me while I run away)PlotThe Voids are the army of the Cabinet. Developed from a weak human who has succumbed to lust, greed, jealousy, hate or any bad feelings will turn into one. Like a living thing, it will continuously evolve and at the last few stories, they go up to Slice Thirty.A Slice is 'formed' when a amount of people is killed. It starts as a single Slice, and they start growing. Every Slice will be prominently displayed. And their weak points would be that trademark cut, and those above Thirteen can only be killed through those. Target. Remember Glaze? It is said that a particular person would have an certain aura, in which they empower their magic. It revloves around three main powers, Crests(good guy power, comarable to Innocence in DGM), magic (the neutral element, able to be used by both sides) and Voids + the EVILLLLL Cabinet. (Like the Noah clan of DGM, just that some are superpowered Voids, some are 'selected' humans, led by the head of the Cabinet. Note that it runs in the form of an office or company, not like a family n Noah.)(If you did not read DGM, you would not understand at least 90% of my references. So start reading.) The 'smell' thing is just a quirk of the usage of aura, and like Kax, other people will carry these scent as well. Walker will be of aloe vera(weird), Alyss will be of salt, and Catherine will be of lemon. Note that although the scent colour is usually linked to their Property, it is not always true.
OthersThere would be mini guns, remote or manually controlled detachable from the side of ShadowMeld, called Sniper Bits. Similar pieces called Hold Bits, will 'fly' out from the rear of the car, and defend the car from incoming attacks. There would be six to eight Bits each, even if Walker is such good at remote controlling weapons, (wait, he's good at everything) he can't steer and snipe at the same time. Thus, there would be a AI-control present in the car. Without Cath (short for Catherine) talking much, (s)he will requently engage Walker into a conversaton.Oh yeah, if you saw that it was a per day release, I'm just kidding. Finding out a little too late that its quite impossible to do so much in a day.And ignore all those different usages of brackets.

My story is getting nowhere lol.
thus, thou shalt maketh a commitment to post every online week about my day's thoughts on theth story. Help me keep this.
Usually, in four segments: Weapons, Character, Plot and Others.
I'm lazy, so I'll release bit by bit.
Weapons
Walker(since i haven't thought of the BLOODY name yet, i'll just go with Allen walker.) will carry 6 katanas, 20 throwing daggers(10 on each side of the leg), 6~12 auric bazookas, a special katana(no sneaks) and loads more. Its constantly improving, so do not expect much now. And I think two extra revolvers, a sniper rifle,and a custom scope. And the rest of the story with Walker in it has nothing to to with DGM >.<
Character
I would have noticed it, but Walker would be(or in my case, should be) in love with two gals: Catherine and Alyss. (Alyss was a taken name. Not quite thinking for a author lol) Catherine is this LightWelder which cannot cast Light spells(explained below) and needs Walker to 'tap' into her bank, and mostly using up his aura.(explained below too)
And there would be a third gal in connection to Walker. (yay for the flirters???)
PlotOk, now i reach the weird part. A Welder is someone that holds a certain magical property. Usually in the form of an element, like air, water and that sorta thing.
There are legendary forms of power, like Light and Darkness for instance. They hold powers that not many other Properties can sustain against.(and yes, the elements are called Properties).
Allen's will be air. Yay.
OthersI've got this cool idea for a car. Actually two.
The first will be ShadowMeld, a black-silver car, sleek like a sports car but very long. And loads of weapons for sniping, blasting and melee combat. With suitable 'packs', the car could go under or on water, and even fly. Wait till i draw them designs.
The other would be Light(filling in), which is meant to be a carrier. Not much developed, but all I want is a higher arsenal of weapons.
