YES I BROUGHT BACK THE PRETTY BUTTERFLY JROUNAL SKIN! BWAHAHAHAHA!
*SHOT*
Well I'm back... and with a sunburn =w= This is what I get when I TRY to tan... The one reason hate I hate being a red head... I get BBQ'D after being in the sun for like 20 mins>_< gah!
^SHOT*
Anyways Family reunion was great 8D Though it felt kinda awkward with everyone complimenting on my new look, saying lost a lot of weight ( it's just 20 lbs ._. ) as well as how grown up I become. The 'grown up' is what really surprised me, and I men have a really matured that much just because I moved in with my sister so I could get a job and stuff? I mean I fell more responsible but as more mature ... I dunno >_> Do I seem more grown up to you people? O_o
Oh! I was able to see my grandpa and... he's not as band as everyone said o_o I mean sure he's having harder time with short-term memory but it doesn't look like he's going to pass away anytime soon. Then again the people that take care of him are known to exaggerate things =_=
Also I may not be on too much for a bit mainly due to my laptop got spyware on it >_< But luckily for me Dorian knows how to fix it, and will take a look at it soon so he'll know what program to use to get rid of the pesky spyware. I love having a comp nerd for a brother-n-law 8D *SHOT AGAIN*

A certain spec entry is up
[link]SEMI-FINAL-MACTH-UP-TIME!
Water Realm
vs
Ice Realm
vs
HANDICAPS TIME! 
Those in the Water realm... well what's left of it, have to have it be like barren-wasteland, and what water that is left is all all bad and poiseness to thoughs that try to drink it! And did I mention there is undead of the creatures that lived there as well? 8D
And for the rest in the Ice realm, Koori is extreamly sad (I'm sure you all know why) so the weather is pretty much a blizzard storm and ice wolves are extra proctive so becarful!!!
And Yami is loose now, so ALL of you either have to add her or her vicous minons in your entry! What do her minons look like? It can be anything you want, though most come in the form of demonic like creatures with wings and razor sharp claws, and HUGE teeth, or black dragons o.o; How did she get out you ask? Yami had placed the seal on poor Mizuki, hence miss evil being free!(Occured on Endless-Warr's spec entry 8D) So enjoy dealing with that!
Other important Zenshi News!LE GASP! Tsuchi is captured after attempting to free Mizuki.
[link]And we also have a taitor among the elementals! Shiro The Elemental of Death has betrayed us and is now on Yami's side! As if the balance isn't screwed up enough >_>
DeadlineAUGUST 10TH
!
List of Monsters Fire RealmLava serphants: 10 ft long serphants that live and breath in lava. Their skin ranges from red, orenge, yellow, even black and have four blood red eyes O__o Their razor sharp teeth and claws makes them dangerous, but that's not what you need to worry about... it's their speed. These creatures are unbelivably fast for their size, which makes them very hard to hit!
Spitting Lava frogs: Hehe these fellas are rather cute really~ only afew inches tall, usally come in colors red or orenge, big googly black eyes... And spit molten lava at your face 8D... Okay so they're not that nice >_> Whatever you do DON'T step on them!!!
Fire Minons: These creatures are Hirans little minons, though they are rather... over vigelent in wacthing over the Fire Realm >_> In otherwords they'll attack anything that isn't from the Fire Region |D;;; These guys are completly made out of fire and come in many forms.
Earth RealmHowlers: These raptor-like creatures are usaully about 6-8 ft tall range from different shades of brown or green. They have long sharp spines that go them their head, down their back, and to the base of their tail. These spine are poisoness, so it's best not to get nicked by those O_e. The Howlers are known to hunt solo or in a pack up to 10! Why are they called Howlers you ask? Because they well.. howl XD But it's rather loud and deathing and can be heard from miles and away...
BullFrogs: Now these aren't the typical ungly warty toads you see at plantet Earth, no no no... These guys can grow up to 10-20 ft! They range in colors red, orenge, brown, gray, and black, have red eyes, and huge bull-like horns! Hence their name! These creatures can be found in both the Earth Realm and the Water Realm.
Stone Dragons: Westen-like dragons with scales made out of the stongest stone around, making it nearly impossible to kill. They range from 15-30 ft tall, and are mostly just brown or gray

They are found in both the Earth and Air Realm.
Killapillers: fat green catapillers (Usally between 3-6 ft) with flesh eatting jaws, and super strong stiky web to cacth their prey. They may look harmlmess but that changes when hungery >_> Better aviod these guys in the swamp area of the Earth region.
Giant Spiders: 10 ft black widow-like spiders with webbing as strong as steel, and vemon that can instantly put you in coma (They perfer eatting their prey fresh)
Water RealmMermaids: Sorry boys these aren't your hawt lady-like mermaids. They're more fish-like... so they're well... ugly 8D BUT! They are very intellegent and love stealing and finding an easy meal... just don't call them fat >.> They're sensitve creatures <.<
Lilly mimics: They look like huge (10 +) beautifull water lillys, but don't be fooled! They're actaully a carnevores plant that mimics a water lilly, waiting for a passer by to get close enough to eat O__o nice huh?
Giant Pirahnas: Flesh eatting fish with razor sharp jaws, and are surpisenly fast for their huge size ( 15-30 ft). Fortionatly they're only in the deepest part in the water. Remeber... There's ALWAYS a bigger fish >__>
Gaint Fish: Told ya there's always a bigger fish! These was range from 10 - 50 ft O__o Not really dangerous... unless you're in the deep water where they are and they happen to be hungry! They'll eat whatever they can fit in their mouthes!
Air RealmTwisters: A typical looking tornado... apart from the gaping jaws and black eyes that is. They're mainly found in the lower region of the Air Realm.
Harpies- Bird-like creatures with tend to respresent women, but mainly birds. They have feathers covering their entire body [mainly white, gray, blue, or [on occasion] red] and they have talons for hands and feet. Their wings are their arms, as a matter of fact, so if they slash at you and miss, a sharp wind might back it up. Found in the Air Realm.
Lightening RealmSpugs: Tiny yellow slug like monsters. Usually docile unless provoked or feel they are in danger. Can be very fatal as they can emit enough electricty to power a house
Willow-Woe: Monsters that can disguise themselves as Willows that have been struck by lightening. very dangerous and clever, they usually travel in packs, which means bad news for any passerbys.
GigaHurtz: Beings made of pure electricty. Their very touch could send someone into a coma. When they absorb lightning, they grow in size and more dangerous. They can also reap the same benefiets by merging together. Probably one of the worse Electricty type monsters you can meet, pairs or not.
Ice RealmIce Hounds: These huge wolf-like beasts are Koori's pets, and are quite protective of her. They're about 3 times the size of a typical wolf and their fur color ranges from blue, gray, and white.
Evil Snowman: What? Not all snowmen are nice like Forsty you know >__> Some are rather mean and enjoy freezing people not from the Ice Realm to death 8D Or just throw snowballs with rocks in them <__<
Ice Imps- These devilish humanoids are probably the most annoying little creatures that you will ever meet. They LOOK for trouble and cause mischeif, mainly towards intruders. It's all fun and games for these guys. They are about 2 feet tall and are a pale blue color. They have long, pointed faces though, and their ears almost look like icicles at a distance. They are just pointed and frosted is all. Their main flaw when it comes to stealth is that they cackle a lot, kind of like hyenas. They just can't help it. THAT at least give you an advantage. Found in Ice Realm. NOTE: They bug Koori, too, so if you happen to rid her of those, she MIGHT give you a small reward. Or just a pat on the head, either way, it's a great way to get on her good side.
LifeThe Pope: BEWARE OF THE POPE!!!
The Belivers: RUN! They have stones! And if they catch you, you'll be CRUSIFIED
DeathZombies: Ahhh the ever favorite undead monsters that groan "Braaaaains! Braaaaains!"
Nagaliches- Much like dracoliches, but giant snakes! They are about 15-20 feet long [Yes, they are HUGE] and their fangs are approximatly 10 feet long, so you may want to avoid those. They are the main gaurdians of the Death Realm [Besides Shiro, of course]. They will attack any threats, or what they see as threats. However, they can be calmed by music or rejected by holy talismans [which are very rare to find]. They can go underground, or hover, whichever suits their fancy.
Hell Hounds: Undead dogs with glowing red eyes, and firely breath. They're one job is to gaurd the graveyard from grave-theives and body-snacthers, and pretty much anyone that walks in that isn't from the Death Realm.

[link][link][link]The Story
In the world of Zenshi, everything is controlled by a delicate balance of elements
Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, Lightening, Water, Light, Darkness, Life, and Death
But when the Dark Elementary, Yami, awakens from her deathly slumber and escapes from her prison
that balance starts to corrupt, and break.
The other Elementries begin to worry; since the only one who could defeat Yami, the Light Elementary, has suddenly disappeared
They decide that since they can not defeat the Dark Elementary, then to find someone who can. But how can they be sure they have picked the right person to do this? By starting a tournament
The Zenshi Devastation Tournament. They will travel to other worlds, find those that they believe have a chance to defeat Yami, and take them to their planet Zenshi to participate in the tournament.
The victor would have to fight Yami, and hopefully defeat her. If this fails, Zenshi, and possibly others will certainly come to an end
The CastYami the Dark Elemental (The villain)
[link] A cruel elemental, with a heart of stone, if even having a heart all. She finds enjoyment in the fear and suffering of others. Has a never satisfied hunger for power and corruption.
Hiran the Fire Elemental l-
[link] A hot head, that tends to be cocky.
Koori the Ice Elemental -
[link] Clam, soft spoken, and can be quite the seductress.
Tsuchi the Earth Elemental -
[link] A more quiet, and land back elemental.
Soku the Air Elemental -
[link] Self-appointed elemental in charge, since shes one of the more serious ones, and not tolerating much nonsense during times like this.
Mizuki the Water Elemental -
[link] A fun-loving elemental, who can be naïve at times.
Inuzuma the Lightening Elemental -
[link] Is a bit of a wise ass, but an all around nice guy.
Shiro the Death Elemental -
[link] The master of emo and sulking.
Seimeira the Life Elemental-
[link] Kind-hearted, though a bit ditzy at times, and acts like a kid throwing a tantrum when mad.
Battle groundsZenshi is made up of 10 diffrent lands, each one based on of the landscapes.
Fire- Inside a Volcano
Earth- Canyon with swamp in center
Water- Lagoon with many large waterfalls
Air- High in the mountains with strong gusts and winds
Lightening- A barren wasteland with endless thunder and lightening storms with clouds hovering over the ground generating electricity. Dead trees linger there which had been electricuted by the lightening.
Ice- Artic Landscape
Life- A holy place in which all are living and well. A mansion-like residence resides in the center, where the judge and other superiors live, ruling the land. They are quite religous crazy, however, for when strangers enter this world, they go on extreme procaution and keep an eye on them. If they think that they are doing something 'horrible', they will try to.. "rid of the evil from the land"
Death- A vast graveyard which has a dense fog which hovers over the ground, however is lower than the tombstones. At night, the dead rise from the ground to wander around till dawn.
Light- A mix of the other landscapes, but full of light.
Dark- Large pieces of land hovering with a blackhole below which will send you to one of the other landscapes along with a dark castle on the center piece of land where Yami resides.
Note: The last two land scapes are for the finals. Light for the finalist. Dark being the one where the victor fights Yami at the end...
JudgingFirst off, we do NOT judge based off whose art skills is better. We consider that unfair, since no one is perfect. This is how well judge
:
Story telling - How well you flow your characters story, with that of the tournaments.
Character portrayal - How accurate you were at playing the characters of others.
Effort - How much time and effort you put in your work is important! Sloppy work, which you just threw together in few minutes will not be accepted.
Creativity - This is one of the big ones! How clever or cunning your char was in battle. Sure, blood, gore, and explosions are fun, but some creativity is key to winning!
