Libramen Justicia vs. Justicia Adamante (concept...
I’m not really sure how Justicia Adamante came to be. I remember the first original draft of Divine Avenger (the short story thing [where Strigoa was a man, there were three Avengers, and Alaura was four separate characters] I still disavow) Avalon acted mostly on his own, but under direct orders from the Council. I mean, Beowulf and Hercules (scrapped characters, mostly; they might make a...

Divine Avenger (rank): Concept v. Canon
The concept of the Divine Avenger hasn’t really changed since its inception; like Justicia Adamante, the scope changed, but the mission, the destruction of evil and its agents, didn’t. Originally, before the universe was fully-defined, the the Divine Avenger was angel that served as god’s bounty hunter, and guarded the key that led directly into hell, much like the angels...

“Waking the systems, firing up the boiler. Back to...
Yep. Somehow I’m back. Guess you can’t really stop blogging after a while. Or maybe I’m somehow hoping that when I post this my readership will increase by a minimum 400+ more readers. But oh well, one can hope. It’s been an odd few (nine) months since I last blogged. I finally passed my two most dreaded courses (financial math and stats), with both with ‘a C for Champions,’ as we say down here....

Twofer Monday
To my (currently imaginary) audience: sorry I keep missing my deadline. Last sunday I was supposed to go vote for the lesser of two evils (thanks to the excellent two-party system!) and I took the badass path of the protest vote. Needless to say, the lesser evil won (his wins are the purple provinces). Tan-fucking-fastic; ‘Papa,’ as he likes to call himself, shrunk the economy by 20%,...

5-6-2012 + 5-13-2012
Such a lazy bastard, I am. Though I finally made it to chapter 8 in Divine Retribution, I still need to fix 4-5-6-7. Yeah, some good that’s doing me, being that far. A part of me wants to blame the Nuzlocke Challenge; that thing’s incredibly difficult. I’ve had to release six of my Pokémon already. I just noticed something as I was writing this: I usually write on iWorks Pages. I typed Pokémon...

8. Harbinger, and 5. Divine Judgment
8. Harbinger is a new chapter in the Divine Centurion short-story/novelette… thing. I added it because i felt like it gave it more closure than it’s original ending, 7. A Welcome Presence, and at the same time, it was A LOT MORE ominous. Like wow, shit just got real. and stuff. 5. Divine Judgment is a chapter in Divine Retribution (and was originally meant to be the title of the third and...

5 Chapters In
I’ve been doing some good writing this entire weekend. I got one chapter done and another halfway through. This brings us to a grand total of 5. I’m calling this particular section Disavowed, though it’s still a working title. I’m actually having some good fun here; new characters make things pretty cool because they open up new possibilities and scenarios between...

Act In Haste, Repent In Leisure
I figured this little ordeal deserved a mention. When I finally got Divine Avenger printed for the first time (Dec 28 2011), I thought I’d killed most of the mistakes. I mean, I’d spent more than three months at it (principle editing was done done in October, but I kept at it ‘till late late Jan.) checking out for typos and the like. But it turns out I hadn’t. Mid...

Species: Divine Physical Appearance + Distinctive Features: Catalina is a remarkably beautiful woman, far exceeding her people’s already high standards. Though unusually short for a Divine, her red hair -a sign of good fortune for amongst Divine- and sanguine eyes make her a sight to behold, even to the other races....
