Birthday Celebrations

[★ Ryuujin !]

After one year

[style=width: 300px; background-color: #000000; height: 5px; margin-top: -7px][/style]

Time seems to fly, coming and going faster than we'd care to admit. But as it passes, it brings with it good an bad times as well as people that have come and gone... and even as they leave us, we remain the tiny family that we've come to be, and this site has become a home for us. In my roleplay experience, I have not found another site that has felt more like a home to me, that I have felt more comfortable on as I do here... and it's not just because it's my baby... but because of the people who have stayed with us through all the times we've had, the ones who never left - you guys.

And even through these hard times we've had in the past, we've remained a whole, we went in one side of those times and come out the other stronger and closer than before. And with all our troubles and all our effort... we've reached a marker that most sites never live to see... a one year anniversary. A birthday. A time for celebration.

So with light hearts and warm smiles, let's keep on moving forward, and let's work to see another one of these... and let's keep getting stronger and closer, and make our home a little bigger.

With our anniversary, Tama and myself (mostly Tama) have come up with a small surprise for everyone... however, you'll need to do a little something for us first.

It's hard to believe that it's already been a year! But at the same time, I'm glad to see we've made it this far and settled with a good core group we can count on to stick with us through everything. I need to figure out something to do to get you two something in return...maybe start saving for the half birthday since I don't have the funds now. -fail- I want to thank you admins for all of your hard work so far and for keeping WK going. This place is my home, and I'm looking forward to spending another year here. I love you two!

The Aether Legend

[style=width: 300px; background-color: #000000; height: 5px; margin-top: -7px][/style]

All around the city, the giant street monitors and majority of the media channels are interrupting their usual broadcasting to show a news break on a recent discovery that had been keeping the Epispect scientists excited for months now. The news is spreading fast, and a varied amount reaches people, bringing with it gossip and other usual discussions. The original report, given by Epispect, was presented as documentation on their discovery, just as follows.

For a long while, scientists had been interested in the geographical history of Aether, especially since such a large number of different pokemon species were found in the area. People were curious, and for the longest time, they had been searching for the remains of past cultures and their legends. Epispect had been dispatching groups for expeditions into the outskirts and even further out, where people were forbidden to enter before. Slowly the area was being discovered, and what they found, was proof that Aether was occupied long before the apocalypse and the current population… and even the great wars before.

One expedition had found ancient ruins of a long lost civilization, just past the Amplus Mountain Range. And with this discovery, they also found what they had dubbed “the Legend of Aether”.

The stone tablets found in the ruins and the walls of the ancient temple told a story about Creation and Destruction. The Sun was protected by a great guardian clad in crimson flames, a majestic strength to keep the daylight constant and fight the darkness in a never ending battle. The Moon was ruled by a silent hunter, a king of darkness and coldness, a monster of the deep that was able to calm the flames of the predator once it got too strong, stronger than the things it wanted to protect. The guardian of the Earth was, at the same time, the guardian of the Temple - a giant beast like that of the mountain it occupied; it was the only force able to withstand both the flames and the waves of the Sun and the Moon, making it the perfect guardian to watch over the people of ancient Aether...

As the legend goes on, it’s not hard to figure out that the story the tablets were whispering were about pokemon of a long lost time. In the times of old, they would have been referred to as legendaries, the personifications of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. They were beasts worshipped by their people and held great power, strong enough to fight against whatever darkness the legend itself spoke about. But now, they no longer hold their legendary positions.

The expedition not only returned with the tablets and the information they gathered in the ruins, but also brought with them three fossilized eggs – the remains of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. After months of experiments and hard work, Epispect scientists were able to create exact copies of those beasts, and after declaring them to no more harmful than any other pokemon, they are ready to be sent into the care of trainers. As there are three of these beasts, and each of them represent the three elements that are usually provided for fresh trainers, the scientists started calling them the Aether starters.

The Aether starters will be available in the pokemon centers and offered for new trainers as well as slowly released into the market under surveillance. We ask the citizens to notify the nearest Epispect member if any unseen problem occurs when tending to these three pokemon.

*dies giving off the mother of all fangirl squeals, not noticing which muses has swiped the baby*

[Kuroya]

Oh Ra. These guys are so beautiful.... you two have really outdone yourselves this time. ;~; So beautiful... *touches reverently before taking Kindlen and then giving to Ever so that he won't burn the site down with his cooking*

[Cori]

Also popping in to say how wonderful/beautiful these babies are. ;w; Tama, you did such an amazing job with them, and deserve the maximum amount of thanks possible! You, both of you, are just such great admins for spoiling us rotten like this constantly and I love you. -hugs forever- If there's ever anything I can do besides the obvious getting my butt back to work '>w> to pay you back, just ask! ;~;

Kiki's already named her...he's awfully grabby for someone unfinished. '>w>

[Brian Crestmere]

Wow, these are totally awesome, and I have to say that they make me wish that I could get all three. Note to self: Destroy those with the other two and keep them Now I can't wait to see what Guardot evolves into, so thanks for such an exciting twist like this.

[Cori]

So. Um. Cori kind of made a thing because obviously these little ones don't have minisprites. If Tama is going to make a legit one later, I'll delete this from my album, but I just wanted to try and make something ugly to hold anyone who likes using minisprites in post templates over. :'D If it's too big I'll fix it...I tried to make it the same size as the other images I got off of the site I use for my minisprites when I grabbed them up and started frankensteining them together. The colors were picked off Tama's sprite, the head is a modified Glameow, the body modified from Skitty, Mudkip's sprite was used as a reference for the whiskers, and the failtail was by hand, but used Charmander's as a reference. I'm sorry it sucks and I'm sorry for making it, but I love your mon and this is as close to fanart as Cori can get. :'D



-goes to die in a hole now-

EDIT: Added Fizard. :'D Thanks are due to Tama for not only creating these lovely mon but for hinting that Charmander would be a good base for this little one. The body's almost straight off the Charmander minisprite, with modified flippers off Piplup, and some slight edits on Charmander's head as well for the face. The ears were hand done after trying and failing with several different pokemon, and the tail was a mix of by hand and going off of Charmander's. I hope it's presentable. ;w; I also fixed the eyes Tama - no super shiny chibi ones now! -shot-

EDIT EDIT: Guardot added.
