OK this is totally not at all the story of the actual events of the discovery of Ormigites but its just a funny little movie I did for my Computer Animation Class (just want to make that clear)! Hope you all like it though!

Character Creation of Awesomeness!!
So... long time no see for everyone. I just wanted to share this little piece of MOAG heaven with you all... It took me a bit to figure out, and it's not as pretty as i would like but the most important part... IT'S FULLY FUNCTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!! So now... let me explain:
What part of moag is fun but takes FOREVER?... That's right, the Character Creation Process. So I decided a couple days ago to make this process a little easier and less time comsuming, (especially for noobs like me who take forever to make a new character.)
Anywho i made an excel sheet that will automatically calculate your rolls for your attributes and your base and rolls for your skills!!!! WOOT! COMPUTERS MAKE THINGS (and by "things" I mean "us" as human beings) EVEN LAZIER!!!! HURRAY!!
p.s. it even calculates your date of birth :D
Anywho it works like this, you roll for all your attributes then enter them in like normal, from that the rolls will be automatically calculated, after that it will take those rolls and use it to calculate the base for all the skills and your roll for each skill! The only things it will not automatically do are the skill points you put in level (cause you have to roll for those and place them where you like) but it will recalculate the roll once the desired amount of skill points have been allocated. And last it will not calculate Total Hit Points because again that you have to manually roll for, but it will figure out hit points for each body location.
Unfortunately I don't know how to post a file here or else you would all have it right now sooooo.... if anyone does know how please let me know, but i will be giving the file to West when i next see him, and then hopefully you will have access to it sooner or later.
Any questions feel free to ask :) (and please help me figure out how to get the files online!!)

Old Friends
Hey everybody... I have been away way too long.
.I have news for all those out there who care.
.
I got a new toy.
See it and..... well don't cry.... but you can be jealous. :P
.
Ok... I have rubbed it in enough, hope you like my new toy.
And now for those who don't care about some motorcycle that you don't own.
I have another start to a story, this one goes along with my last post.... anyone remember when that was?
.
This is set up later in the story line. If you remember in the last story the Conar was invading earth. The KMF was recruiting humans, by force. And.... oh.... I haven't written that part yet. :P
Ok this isn't so much a story as a prologue of sorts. I am sure you will all have questions. But with any luck I will be able to fill the gapes in with later posts.
.
And without further explanation.
.
We have lived in this world for century's, our Fathers driven from their home by their own. Those who didn't understand their nature and power. Few, even of our own know of our past. The counsel has dwindled to nothing, all but dead. And we knew nothing of the world we left behind, until those we left behind found us. They brought with them strange creatures. Strange creatures with the knowledge of ancient days, before the first separation of worlds. I was lucky to find them to learn from them, and to save them. ...Well some of them. They came to our world from the old worlds. But they weren't prepared for the ravages of this place. And many of them where lost. The arts are the masters of this place. The magic of the soul. They brought with them new magics. Magics they called technology.
Though their magic has opened new paths for us, it is at odds with the magic of the arts. This magic disrupts the balance of our arts. And the balance of our world. The consequences of this disruption has unleashed our devils in the old worlds.
The gate between worlds is now open. Never shall the old and new be separate again. What new devils will come? I know not. It is time we learn the truth of devils and angels. Are we the demons of this place? ... No I don't believe so. We will fight those that plague us. I tell you these things because the worlds are becoming one in kind and in fate.
There is a new council, and those who follow the arts are coming together again.
.
Join us.
.
Hope there is something here for all of you..... if not.... tough

Oberon's Garden? OCT? Whut?
Note: If you already know what an OCT (original character tournament) is, or just don't care and want to see the comics, feel free to skip the two or three ridiculously large paragraphs.
So, there's been a few requests (okay, like one, but still) for me to post my comics from the OCT I am competing in on the MOAG blog. For those of you who don't know- an OCT is an original character tournament. The artist (this is mainly an art tournament, but other OCT's can be for writers too) joins the tournament as a competitor and enters their character to fight other artists' characters as opponents. A tournament starts by some storyline being set down to inspire the setting and such, and usually to explain why there is a tournament for the various characters to fight in. Then the competitors submit audition comics that explain how their characters entered this tournament and to show a bit of the personality. If you manage to get through this, then the first round begins. Opponents are chosen at random, and each competitor submits a comic of the two characters fighting, and normally their character winning. A group of judges then study the various comics submitted, then pick the best. The winning comic is considered 'canon' or what actually happened, and the winning competitor moves on.
So I'm currently on the third round of this tournament I'm in. I'll submit the comics below, but I'll give you the background to the tournament that the officiator who runs the OCT gave us (though I'll put it in summary form, of course): Pretty much, there's a world that is cleverly called... The World. There are four opposing nations- that of Human, Elf, Orc, and Dwarves. Each with their respective leaders. The World just went through a... very harsh war, and now there is a certain peace all around. To celebrate this peace, Oberon, Lord of the Elves, is hosting a fighting tournament. But to not put more harm to their own people, the fighters are to be pulled from distant planets and dimensions and brought to the World, with the incentive that if they should win they are rewarded with a Wish. So each nation was given various shards of a mirror to peer into places that contain possible opponents, and pull them here. Yet Oberon is a scheming fiend with his shapeshifting and powerful ally, Puck; both of which have unknown but most likely evil intentions.
So, without further ado; my reference for my character, audition comic, and first and second rounds... As a note for those who haven't used devart- if it seems small, just click on the picture to make it larger. And if you scroll down, just below the picture there's a section labeled 'Artist's Comments'- If you don't want to keep clicking back here, I have links to all the comics in sequential order there. Some of the prologues or such are in written form, but you won't miss that much if you skip them.
