The 6 sides of ME

WARNING: The following may be hilariously silly or annoyingly serious, or somewhere in between, changing tone without warning. Reader's discretion is advised. Do not drink, eat or operate heavy machinery while reading the following


I chose to start with me, myself and the "I’s" that I have over the Net, as well as games where you name your character. Everything about me applies to the others unless it obviously contradicts something. I’m planning to draw a group pic to go with this. BTW, there are 6 sides of Me (Other Half of Me by Icon of Coil + my many dice games)

Luis Raul Diaz Rios- Eternal Walker (90 minutes from home to town for over 5 years!)The Google Brain, The Duke of Games ( I know little of nobility ranks, but I'm sure Duke is lower than King XD) The Curious Gorilla. I have a few more nicknames, but they are exclusive to certain people, and others are the usual annoying school days nick you wish to erase from mankind's history. I grew real fast, so much that Mom had to argue at the last years I could still get kiddy tickets for movies and such! I have a skin thing that gives me "meat bumps" that end up with me covered in Band-aids even with the most expensive shavers, so I leave it for my monthly barber visit. I enjoy games so much I design a lot of them and remix almost every one I try out. I like to learn, and learning something new once a day is something I try to do. It's also why I try to learn Japanese any way available to me, besides the fact that I like anime, manga and many other things from Japan and other Asian countries. I have somewhat bad eyesight, which might be why I confuse details in pics sometimes, and why visual puzzles take me longer. Also, since English is NOT my first language (though I can read, talk and write it well enough, typos and all) I sometimes don't get the joke or real meaning of some things at first (Chrono Cross Just4Kicks attack; I told my friend there were just THREE kicks...)

Ramsey- The Gorilla artist, less scary than what most humans would think, just talk nicely and respectfully and you won't get hurt. A proud geek who doesn’t mind giving assistance or information whenever I can. Likes cute (the Peachtree dog from the TV ads) and humor (George Carlin makes heaven smile brighter now)

    About my Google Brain- when someone tries to remember something I ask for keywords or genre. Since I read so much I usually know what they want to say. I tend to joke with computer terms, like needing to defrag my memories or that you need a codec to understand me talking (I will make a recording soon so you hear me and believe it or not XD).

"Trump"- making all this games I came up with the Duke of Games nicknames, and I came up with one more: YuGiJu. Any fellow BORICUA might figure that one out, but the Kanji for it mean the Beast of Games. Trump is like my Yami Yugi, though in my case is an ONLINE Yami. ANY bullies abusing of newbs will end up getting payback from me. I actually did something like that in (junior) high school days. I spent most of my free time (and then some) at the arcades, and I didn't like kids being pwned by highschoolers that obviously were better than them. I spent most of my time besides KOF or Neo Geo games, and once I notice what was going on, I would offer to take over at Round 2. By Round 3, I had won and the bully was gone. I even taught a few moves or combos when they asked! I'm sure that helped them NOT to be scared of me...

Tetsu- a Ramsey from a fully furry world, an amateur mage that contacted me by accident, then ended up in our world by accident. Until he somehow manages to go back, I have him as my houseguest. He's totally opposite of me, promiscuous, dirty jokes all the time, eats like the floor is his dinner guest, and a tornado would make less of a mess than he does! ... One of these days I'll end up learning magic to "help" him...

Ahndal- The Knight, The Blade of Righting. First time I remember using this one was for a browser game about knights. Since then I use him for war games, old or new, following my Second Lives concept. (Like Rudo and Bakari living in medieval times and then "reborn" into modern times) He is not part of an army so he won’t be forced to obey orders he thinks are wrong.

Rhaigan- The Barbarian, the Hate Killer. If there is someone a racist or bigot does not want to meet alone, it is Rhaigan. Not particularly a victim of them, but he does not allow them to hurt anyone. Unfortunately, he has a bit of the Berserker in him, meaning a short fuse and fast combat reflexes, instead of his mouth shooting off, it’s his left fist or right foot, usually right to the tender spots. Beware, he bites! Still, he is really a good guy, and he loves animals as much as they usually love him back. You might catch him playing around with pups or kitties to amuse kids, but you better not say anything about it… he still does not like being made fun off, so it's best not to joke about him, at least not when he MIGHT be around. If he is you will realize so when you wake up with a headache, and HOPEFULLY just that.

Rhaizan- The werebeast, a Law Berserk, not truly an anarchist, but if a rule doesn’t work out, he scraps it without blinking, also why he is solo instead of with a pack. WereGorillas are rare, and one like him is even more. He knows of Beastmen and has dealt with a few Rogues, but he prefers to keep living by himself if he can help it. I admit he is the least developed of the six for now, but that will soon change after I get the group pic finished.



Sexta Arcana

What do you know, I came up with MORE! This actually started with Phantasy Star 0 on DS, where there was no character to match me, so I got this idea of reversing my names like I did for some characters I made (whose names are just common/normal names reversed, like Reyvax=Xavier) where I made Yesmar a Human  Hunter, Dalahn a Newman Force and Gahnrai a HuCast.  Then I found the game Master of Magic (which TOTALLY deserves a sequel, NOW!) and I came up with the rest.

Yesmar- Nomad living near Tauron's domains.


Dalahn- I use the Merlin portrait for him. If Ahndal was in a castle, Dalahn would be a mage he would trust and fight alongside with and protecting each other and the citizens.


Ganrhai- I use the Raven portrait for him. Tribal shaman, friend of Beastmen, and Rhaigan might trust him if they met.


Zahnlai- I use the Rajak portrait for him. Rhaizan would warn anyone to stay away from this necromancer. He might not be out to take over the world, but one who deals with death magic is someone to be careful around, in my opinion.


Ra-Uhr-  Beastman Shaman, follower of Sss'ra. A healer when needed, but ready to fight any threats to his people.


?-  Well...

I'm posting the official site for the apps I use (Japanese, but I am assured it is right to set up shop like this) so you can make them yourself if you like. I draw the art for the ones you commission me. I WON'T make them from art made by others. I also hope other artist join in and do these games as well, for fun OR profit...

Stripball game- Bakuretu Block= Java game; Mouse controlled Breakout/Arkanoid game, bounce the ball to break the blocks without letting the ball fall off the bottom. $6 first stage(2 art pages), +$3 per additional sequence stage (one more page), otherwise it's treated as a separate first stage.

Sample page: http://animalism.kemono.cc/gallery/.....n/ouendan.html



OniB2= Flash Stripball game; can be controlled by keyboard or mouse, but some powerups are activated with the Z key. $6 first stage(2 art pages), +$3 per additional sequence stage (one more page), otherwise it's treated as a separate Both made for same price (it just takes a little formatting ) but OniB2 can link stages indefinitely! (For my own amusement and curiosity, i made a bunch from Oni's Dice CG; 20 lives for 5 stages is TOUGH!)

Official page: http://onikabe.x.fc2.com/

Add $1 per every game considered first stage.

Crazy Ape Thought Process: Making up names

WARNING: The following may be hilariously silly or annoyingly serious, or somewhere in between, changing tone without warning. Reader's discretion is advised. Do not drink, eat or operate heavy machinery while reading the following


I was once stumped trying to name a few characters, and I somehow came up with this idea. Since my setting is another planet, this makes fantasy/alien names pretty much EVERY TIME.


1) Make a list of words that describe the character. Make it so you have crossword-like grid of letters (Notepad and the like make it easier with Courier and similar fonts) and write them as you come up with them, without trying to order them in any way!

2) After you have written enough words or just ran out of them, start reading each column in turn, playing around with them by trying out vowels among bunch of consonants. You can end up with first names, last names and potential relatives with this.

Another method I came up with when I REALLY want to write down a fic but I can’t come up with names. In these cases I try out semi-randomly two or three numbers in place of a name. Later on, when I finally have names I just Find/Replace it into the whole fic! In some cases, I actually worked the numbers into names!


Oops, I forgot one more method, but this one is kinda obvious: Backwards Names

BUT I put the added twist of Reversing HALF of it.

For example, I have this names I use for Other Me’s (in browser games, for example)

Ahndal=> Dahlan

Rhaigan=> Gahnrai

Rhaizan=> Zahnlai

Ramsey=> Yesumaru (Naruto fanon char)

And I also have used the Organization XIII method with a few.

Interactive Gallery RPG: Bare Adventure Begins!

WARNING: The following may be hilariously silly or annoyingly serious, or somewhere in between, changing tone without warning. Reader's discretion is advised. Do not drink, eat or operate heavy machinery while reading the following




A Bare Fist that can shatter any obstacle...
A Tempered Body that cannot be broken...
One tool to reach any destination...
Another to create your own path...

This is all he had when he walked away from his home. His father "had thought him enough", and went back to his 20 elder sons. He had made the Bare Fist known throught his homeland, but had only returned when he had received a letter saying on the sons he fathered during his travels as a Wandering Breeder showed to be worthy of the teaching of the Bare Fist. His father thought him, but did nothing else beyond that. He never gave his opinion of his dreams of seeing the world, unless him saying that "with a trained body and strong will, anyone could reach the ends of the world" was his way of approving or accepting...

His father left him behind, so he left his home as well. He walked through the old roads, certain that he would find a challenge to earn his freedom with his own satisfaction. He took with him the tools that had been discarded by the townsfolk, and then by his own father on the claim that his hands were capable enough...

He made the rope for the hook, which might have been a thief's tool if it weren't so brightly clean and preserved. He started making the rope to use it by itself at first, but whenever he added to its length he remembered the abandoned tool. When his father announce his leave, giving him no instructions, he decided to add as much lenth to the rope as he could suffer himself to make...

The other tool was quite unusual. At first it seemed to be an odd shovel, with a sword-like guard and an extra grip on the middle, but the head was even more bizarre: one side was sharpened like an axe would be, whilie the other was serrated, the line of sharp teeth ending ju before the curve began. He thought many time of a name for the chimera of solid wood and coldmetal, but the few that came to mind were from thoughts of people he would not have anything to do with...

As he was lost in his thought, some one from the small town called out to him and gave him a large cloth. He looked at it and then at sky, and realized it was likely to encounter rain. He gave a grateful bow and covered himself with the cloth, finding it could work as a simple cape... perhaps a loincloth, if he WANTED it to...

As he walked on the forgotten road, he thought of two places he could go, and the routes that would take him there.

A growing city was ahead, but the trading road avoided a forest most stayed away from. Going through the forest would shorten the distance, but not the perils...

There were also the mountains leading to a city far away. There's no travel in that direction, but it would be the shortest, and hardest route to a new place....
