Hey guys, I know I've been largely inactive for the longest time now, but what can I say, I've been doing less of my own art to upload to this place and I've been finding more fulfilling social interaction through gaming and-- shockingly-- real life via college. That, plus I've recently stumbled onto Tumblr, which is so much better than Facebook that I wouldn't go on there at all if I didn't have a gaming group that I'm actually interested in improving in spite of myself.

Still, I don't want any undue concern, and I do appreciate the support over the years so I figure I'll at least clue you guys in on what I've been up to all this time ^{as if they care} _{no shut up, you, positive self image! people care what I think, all that crap} Erherm, sorry about that, still working on that whole part, but I'm making progress.

ANYway, yeah, I'm getting into my next-to-last semester at college, and I think I'm starting to get the swing of it. That's at least one semester earlier than I caught ahold of High School, so I'm improving! I've got a real wacky schedule this year, but in return I've got nearly all the classes I want/need this time around! Painting class for art-major credits, looks pretty good.

As far as personal projects go, I think I'm gonna actually make some strong progress in fabricating this scrapyard armor I've been toying around with the idea of since before Freshman year, and I'm currently in the process of retrofitting a few of my Red vs Blue OCs for transfer into the RWBYverse. So far I've got Jaimeson set as the lead on a Beacon team comprised of him and three new characters made up to fill the rest of the roster. I've got weapons for all of them, but no names for the rest of them and no first name for Jaimeson to fit Monty's naming rules. I *do* however have the name of the team: JSPR ("jasper"), a type of rock that can be red, blue, green, yellow, or brown. So far I know that Jaimeson will be the J, and take up both the red and green slots, and P will be blue and probably have a name based off of perywinkle. S and R I don't know about, because while I know for certain what weapons the group will use, other than Jaimeson's I can't really see what colors they'd work best in. I might be uploading some of that material sometime in this semester. No outfits, either, but I've actually just started on what could be Jaimeson's top half, and I'm pretty sure that either Yellow or Brown will wind up wearing a duster.

Incidentally, if any of y'all know or can think of a word that starts with R and means, translates to, or makes you think of the color brown or yellow, I'd really appreciate it if you could throw me a bone.

Hey, to all my friends with Freelancer OCs, I got an idea for a story prompt. Here goes:

Your Freelancer is dead. The final curtain. Dead as a doornail, as the phrase goes. Or maybe not, maybe they're just done with the whole deal, fed up with the war or just plain unable to go on. Whatever the case, your Freelancer is done. Dead, quit, it doesn't matter. They ain't a fighter any more. That's it. The final curtain. But what happened?

Was it fighting against impossible odds? Holding the line so their comrades could live another day? Dead or injured beyond repair, leaving them either mentally or physically broken?

Or did they succumb to the inner demons? Break a code of honor or just plain break under the stresses and torment of war?

I know how my own Agent Pennsylvania would go out, but if you could choose a way for your own to leave, what would it be?

Not necessarily personal canon, of course. This doesn't have to be how they go out "for real" if you ever do want to nail that door shut on their story.

Oh EEEEE, responses!
