Heh, lol. I finally succumbed to the voices in my head....ehehehhehehe.....

But, congrats if you can even read the title...XDXD

Here is Clozimodo's first entry. Since I'm the judge, I can't take favorites, but I have to say, this is pretty good! ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Skye

Age: N/a
Height: 5'11"
Appearance:
Eyes: Turquoise/blue
Hair: Sliver? with a slight blue tint
Clothing: Often just a loose top, and shorts due to warm weather in the area the village is based. Hair often bearing cloth/bandana's to keep his longer bangs from falling too far forwards (safety).
Big, metal plated boots, again for safety, and also because they were his first "loot".
also seen with bandages from dealing with certain pieces of machinery.

History: He was randomly happened upon in the outskirts of an isolated village, hidden away in forests, as it hosted a base for Sky Pirates. Believed to be around the age of 7 by looks, he was taken into their village to be diagnosed with a strange case of amnesia. They took him in as an orphan, and waited several months before finally, they realized he would need to be named, as his memory was obviously coming back no time soon, And they couldn't keep calling him "boy, Kiddo", or "little one." So he was named Skye, seeing as his main way of spending time, often ended up gazing at passing clouds.
Another curiosity they found was that at such a young age, he already bore scars which were still rather fresh on his face (if you can't see em - it's cause i do scars to look natural AKA white, so brightness may be a problem) This could mean that before ending up near the village, someone must've been tending to his wounds - yet as far as they were aware, no-one except them should know of their village.
This was both alarming and exciting, so many of the younger pirates believed, that when Skye eventually gained back his memories, there would be one or two adventures to be had. - That being said, whenever Skye recalls even the slightest bit of his past, it becomes unbearable, and usually ends up making himself ill.
Skye often claims to not care for bringing back the past, nor does he wish to find his parents, or true identity, his excuse being he simply prefers his life amongst his fellow pirates, yet many don't believe his reasoning.

Skye's main professionalism is working as a "sparkie" - a specialist mechanic onborad the Gondola, (main ship) yet he's also rather good at piloting - although he's still in training with that.
Normally seen with any and every piece of random tools/equiptment he can find, most people at the base normally only have to ask him for rope to find him wearing some over his shoulders.

Personality: Pretty upbeat, but laid back. Likes a relaxed life, but always enjoys the odd raid or so with fellow sky pirates. Although he still only goes on easier "tasks" seeing as he is still a novice at the skill.
Usually appears quite cold and unwelcoming, but you only have to talk to him for you to realize he's a good guy.

Dreams: Wishes to one day have his own ship and crew, and maybe even have a village of his own somewhere...
Ultimately, he just wants to leave his past behind...

Great job! ^^

Avenging Angel's *thinks...... HOLYMUTHRAHGAWDSWIITMARIUHGEESUSTHIZIZGUUD!!!!!

>< I'm back, with my most horrible title yet...XDXD

But the crappiness of the title does not take away from teh AWESOMENESS of the picture! ^_^

Here is Avenging Angel's picture, along with the original story!! ^_^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NAME: VOSH

Appearance: roughly 21, 6ft ...Hair is quite long, and a dirty brown color, and in the front the bangs are parted off to the right and let f and each hang down below the jawline, the rest of his hair is tied back into a pony tail that hangs down to the middle of his back. His facial expression are kept to a more stern and serious expression though hidden behind a calm wall, that portrays a very strong sense of sadness. Has crystalline blue eyes , and wears lightly tinted glasses. And has a beard that protrudes from his chin, and hangs down about an inch or two. And has a slight medium build, hes not super skinny but hes not entirely huge either. And around his neck he wears a necklace with two rings on each side of a locket.

Personality: Normally calm and collected. Is always serious and never jokes around.

Background: His life up till he turned 17 had pretty much been terrible. He lost his parents from a divorce and has grown up living with his dad. back when he was 18 , his dad passed away and he had left with Vosh a device that shows the events of the past, memories and times locked within the mind. Although it had never worked, or been tested. Soon after his dad passed away he meet Aisha, a very beautiful traveling artist, and soon after meeting her , she took his mind off the lose of his father and the device. And turned his life into something very precious and that he enjoyed., when he turned 20 he proposed to her , and she accepted. And on the night of their wedding they both thought it would be a good idea to honor his father by trying his invention, out as like a wedding gift. The invention works and they both see Vosh's father , and his father had left a warning inside the device, inscribed on one of the folds that folded out and the message read “ Please never operate this device..it will bring chaos and destruction to the world and to those you love!.” Though no one heeded it and the device continued to work, and showed Vosh's father, and Vosh when they both worked on the device. After a while the device stopped the imagery , then it showed very brilliant displays of light as pillars and beams, At this time Vosh had to leave the main ceremonial hall.

And after he left the device started to float in the air, really high, almost higher then what planes fly. The device started whirling around and the beams of lights spread across all that could be seen, all of the guests, Aisha , the citizens, and everyone in view of the lights. Once everything had been touched by light the device fell back to the table it had originally sat at when first started. Everyone who had saw it was in awe and sheer impression. The hall had erupted into applause. Vosh returned from the restroom and heard all the jeering. Then the ceremony for the wedding had begun to proceed, with both Vosh and Aisha walking towards the alter, they both gave their vows and I dos, and again the crowd erupted into applause, then the priest said you may now kiss the bride, and so Vosh leaned to kiss Aisha his now christened wife, and as they were about to meet on another, the crowd started screaming, and they both looked towards the crowd and saw that the crowd began fading away into particles and started fading into the night sky. The fading began approaching closer to the two and both Vosh and Aisha grasped at each other and embraced each other. The fading reached the two and it only affected Aisha and Vosh continued to try and hold onto her, both were crying and then Aisha wen to kiss Vosh for the first and last time, and she completely faded before she was able to kiss him, and Vosh was left holding onto her ring and her locket. Now a year has passed since then and he has searched the world trying to find a way to return his wife and all those other people that were taking away from him.
