AS photos + High Council

Wed Oct 11, 2006, 10:17 AM
  • Listening to: One Jump Ahead - Aladdin
  • Reading: Ender's Game
  • Watching: I *wish* Aladdin. T.T Can't find it.
  • Eating: T.T *stomach growls*
  • Drinking: Sunkist! (what else? XD)
Finally got some more AnimeSouth photos up, they're about 40% done now. ~Group-Photos

And I decided to put up a little bit more information about the High Council, since now I'm only one demon shy of having the full set. I dunno if this will spoil anything in the story in the long run, but I doubt it. Tell me what you guys think!

*~+~*
The High Council holds rule directly under the Demon Lord himself. Any “trivial” matters that the Lord should not have to deal with, the Council takes care of; politics, complaints, etc. The Lord also looks to the Council (and especially the Leader) for advice and guidance.

The Leader of the Council can be any type of demon, and solely comprises of the First Tier of the Council. He has final say. The Second Tier is the four Elementals; Fire, Air, Water, Earth. The Third Tier is four different Animals (not always the same four), and the final Tier is the remaining four demons on the council, whose types vary greatly over the years.

The current Council is thus:
First Tier:
#1: Sahel. Male. Race: devil (lower level demons who specialize in spells and secrecy and are often seen as treacherous and untrustworthy)
Second Tier:
#2: Biren (pronounced BEE-ren). Male. Earth.
#3: Zanel. Male. Air.
#4: Kirai. Female. Fire.
#5: Darell. Male. Water.
Third Tier:
#6: Asker. Male. Fox.
#7: Forynth. Male. Dog.
#8: Ssynsa. Female. Snake.
#9: Milo. Male. Cat.
Fourth Tier:
#10: Alasvynon "Vyn". Female. Vampire.
#11: Vera. Female. Illusionist.
#12: ???
#13: Ezekiel "Zeke". Male. Fallen Angel.

The "Tiers" of the Council have a lot to do with what could almost be called a caste system among the demons. Elemental demons comprise of about 40% of the demon population. They are seen as "elite", because there are so many of them who have managed to remain pureblooded, and there are only four different elements. Right under them, however, are the Animals, of which there are many different kinds, and they make up about 35%. The most common "crossbreeds" (for lack of a better term) are between the Animals and Elementals, creating sub-breeds like a Fire-Cat or a Wind-Bird (which sounds redundant to us, but it's not to them.)

Below the Animals are the "common" demons, and even among them there is separation. (No one ever said the demons had equal rights. XD) The upper common demons consist of things like an Illusionist or a War demon, as well as vampires. They are not treated too badly at all except by elitists.

The lower common demons are only the ones that are seen as completely inferior; lust demons, devils, and fallen angels for instance. There aren't very many that are considered "lower commons," and the ones that are, are generally treated badly by even the other commons.
Devils are seen as conniving and untrustworthy; lust demons are seen as nothing more than whores who use sex to get their way; fallen angels are, despite being banned from heaven, still considered angels by the demons.
*~+~*

Ok, this is getting pretty long, so I'll cut it off here. Just let me know if you guys want to hear more. ^.~

Back! -kinda long-

Wed Jun 7, 2006, 8:03 PM
So . . . I got back from Metrocon a few days ago. I've just been too lazy to post anything. (What else is new? x.x) But I actually had a reason this time, Jenny's moving back to Jacksonville with her mom, and she's leaving like Saturday, so we're in a rush to get all her stuff separated from mine and packed up and shit.

Anyway, despite having a load of troubles in the beginning, we finally got there friday in just enough time for the masquerade ball. I was dressed in a black blazer, tie and pants, and a red dress shirt, with my fedora to top it off. It was supposed to be "Formal Duo". ^^; Well, I thought it was cool. Anyway, the Ball was a lot of fun. The "story" to it was that Princess Garnet from FFIX was in disguise at the ball, hiding from Steiner, and she was supposed to be choosing a Prince by the end of the night. Every now and then you'd hear Steiner walking through the crowd yelling "Princess!" Or he'd see her and run after her, but lose her again. One time she grabbed me and hid behind me, and I faked Steiner off so he'd lose her in the crowd again. ^^
The whole time I was mainly "in character" as Duo, so it was really cool when one thing happened . . . there was a small group of girls in big floofy dresses, and one of them backed into me as I tried to slip past her, almost knocking me over. I landed on both feet and reached down to catch her in my arms before she fell. I caught her just like all the men do in those movies where they swing the women back and kiss them and blah blah . . . only I caught her like that purely by accident, to stop her from falling, and I swung her back up on her feet while her friends were freaking out. XD I felt special.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention. The first cosplayer that I laid my eyes on at this con was a really awesome Axel. He didn't even have a wig, his hair was spiked just right, and dyed red, and everything. XD And I thought, Oh, that's awesome! It's Axel! I gotta get a pictu-- and it was then that I realized, I'd forgotten my camera at the hotel. T.T So I got absolutely NO pictures of the ball. T.T I'll just have to depend on Mabs for those. But, I almost made up for it, I got a record 415+ pictures of Saturday and Sunday alone. x.x (Don't worry, I did get several pictures of Axel, even posing with some other awesome KH2 people.)

Saturday I saw the Anime Human Chess Match. Awesome awesome awesome! I missed the one last year, so I have nothing to compare it to, but as far as I'm concerned, it was awesome. The fight scenes were pulled off wonderfully (and this coming from a 10 year karate student), and there were a lot of great surprises. I could go on for hours about that, especially since I saw the second showing sunday with the alternate ending, but I'll save you from that. ^.~


Lots of great stuff happened, and, as I said, I took over 400 pictures, so that'll be fun to go through. x.x But to me, the highlights of the con were the ball and the chess match.
It'll take me a while to get those pictures up and running, but I'll give you guys some previews if you want. Also, Maboroshi's having some trouble with his site so it'll be a week or two before his pictures are up, and AnimeBelle always takes a few weeks before she gets hers up, but I'll let everyone know when things start showing up.

a lot has happened. Since I graduated, I have been to my 2nd-ever convention, started college, gotten a job, gotten a car, had the car break down no less than 4 times, quit college (temporarily), gone to my 3rd-ever convention, gotten a boyfriend, lost said boyfriend, and had several emotional breakdowns along the way . . . (I'm sure I've missed quite a bit in there)
So what a year! I'm going to turn 19 this April, and still sometimes I swear I'm not a day over 12. I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, and that usually leads to either very good, or very bad, realizations.

Point A. Checking my messages here on dA has almost become a chore with how little time I have on here. I haven't posted a deviation in weeks, and even my journals are no longer garnering any responses. So I don't really know what to do with myself on here lately.

Point B. (this may sound what you would call "emo", but I'm not even going to touch on that right now. It's a stupid idea.) It seems like lately every time I find something that really makes me happy, Something immediately happens to take it away. A couple of weeks ago I realized that for the first time in quite a while, I was actually "happy", having had almost three good days in a row, and oddly enough, for no real reason. However, that night, the car broke down. And again the day after we got it fixed.

I don't even really know why I'm posting this, other than the fact that I've been very reminiscent lately and I haven't typed anything (or let anything out) in quite a while. I've felt very . . . well, I don't know if I would call it lonely, but even with my best friend living with me, I feel like there's not much place for me anymore. With the DDR machine gone, my last real "connection" with any of my friends, I've found myself wandering the mall for no reason, and I've gained even more weight. With school gone, Cobra out of the question (for me at least), and now the mall machine gone, there's really no reason for me to leave my house except for work.

Speaking of houses, we're moving again, but this time actually into town; Lynn Haven to be exact. We're not 5 minutes from 77 & 23rd street (i.e. the mall, OfficeMax, etc.). Jenny's looking for another job, having walked out (on friendly terms at least) from OfficeMax. As soon as she gets settled in, I'll do the same, only I plan on actually giving them a two weeks notice.

I just completely lost my train of thought. XD And I realize that this is starting to get long rambling and a bit angsty, which no one wants to read, so I'll just quit.

**********RANDOM UPDATE**********
On the GW group for AnimeSouth, Jenny has decided to be Relena, we might have found a Mariemaia, but I would really like to have at least one of the following:
Zechs Merquis
Lady Une
Sally Po and Noin

So if you think you can effectively pull one of them off and are going to AnimeSouth 2006, Let me know!

You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me?

ANIMESOUTH YAYAYAYAY!

Yes it was a first con, therefore obviously they had their problems. But.
1. The people there were great.
2. The ratio of cosplayers (and random cool-looking people) to non-cosplayers was very large, and partially because it was a small con, it was very close-knit.
3. I saw the same people over and over again, but they were good people, and a lot of people who lived nearby.

I got to hang out with Lauren Goodnight and AnnaMayBelle a lot, so I felt pretty special. Maboroshi took a lot of pictures of me and Jenny, and she had a camera war with him. XD She tried to take a picture of him, and he came over and started taking picture after picture to keep her from getting one of him. Then he took the camera from her, snapped one of her staring at him, gave it back to me and walked off. :lmao:

Random conversation:
me (to Lauren Goodnight): You're so awesome. Can I take you home with me?
Lauren: hmmmmmmmmmm . . . . where do you live?
me: oh, about half an hour away.
Lauren: hmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . okay.
me: YES! Score! XD

we went out on the beach with AnnaMay and her mom and took a couple pictures by the water near sunset, her pictures turned out sooo awesome. The funny thing is that I had changed for the night, and the only part of my costume I was wearing was the red shirt. Other than that it was random Hot Topic pants and an open button-up fiery shirt from JCPenny's, but apparently they thought I looked cool. XD I was talking to them about my idea for doing a gothic Duo, and they seemed to like the idea. ^_^

Anyway, more later. Here's the important parts:
:bulletblue:I will finish posting the metrocon pictures on ~Group-Photos. Soon.
:bulletblue:I will then post the AnimeSouth pictures there as well.
:bulletblue:Yes, knowing me, it will probably take a while. But it will be done.
:bulletblue:I will hopefully get around to doing a con report.
:bulletblue:I am going to put together a GundamWing group, hopefully an EW group, for next year.
:bulletblue:I already have Relena, Trowa, Heero and either Treize or Zechs spoken for. XD

Now I have to go to bed because it's 11:13 and I have to be at work at 8:30 in the morning. x.x Good night.
