In particular, I see a ninja staff and perhaps, just barely on screen at the top, one of our favorite floating crystals.

Also, it would appear that the watch is a more than 12 hr time cycle (at least since the third hour notch is no flush 90 degrees).

Yesh, it's extremely likely that it's Sara's staff, or one exactly like it, judging by the way it looks.

And he wears black, so he's ninja man. Yeeeah. Sleep is bad.

I hate to be a bastard, but the plural of ninja is ninja. Normally I don't bother with this sort of thing, but ninja is too cool of a word to be used inappropriately.

A member of a class of 14th-century Japanese mercenary agents who were trained in the martial arts and hired for covert operations such as assassination and sabotage.


Well, you are a bastard, so you aren't completely wrong in that post.

Who wants this n00b? I'm still too low in posts to handle it properly.

I like Ninjas!

XD

And yes, that was purely to torment you.


Anyhoo...new character, woot! Some fleshing out here, some fleshing out there,and then a big-ass story with an intricate plot. And things are good.

Or at least, that's how I figure it'll go.

Krylex grabs a chair and starts munching.

Now I just have to wait through the damn previews.

By all means H-Kat. I don't think I've floated around enough to see one of your intiations *or my memory is just hazed up, who knows*

That last frame is great. Very stoic. Looks like he's gonna have to do something that he doesn't want to do or like to do or does something bad so often that the horror of it is now lost on him. Ya. =D.

I dunno so much about the middle frame though. Needs some shading in the lower right to give it the proper affect in my opinion. Rince and Kest will fix that to their liking I assume. Already we can see a lot about him.

He's pretty clean cut and most likely a good guy. I haven't read the character page and I don't plan on ever doing so, so don't spoil him for me! =D Nah go ahead. Anyways good strip.

I already have a plan ready for my first initiation. I'm just still too new and lacking in posts. But some day, in the not too far future, a careless n00b will arrive, and then........

Again, seeing he has the okay, he grabs the phone, and makes a call.

'Pick up, dammit..'

"Da?"

'D, thank god. Look, I need some help from a few of your ladies...'
_____________________

Saturnalia glaced up from his computer. Something wasn't right... n00b sence... tingling....

As quick as the breese, they pounced. Within seconds, he was bound and gagged on the floor. As if on cue,...

'Good work, ladies. I'll take it from here.'

H-Kat walks into the room, with only a slightlook of annoyance on his face.

'So, you wanna preach about ninja, hun?'

Closing the door, he pulls out what looks like a remote control.

'You do know what we do to stupid n00bs here, right?'

Sat nods.

H-Kat grins. 'Good. Now, today, you get off lucky. I'm in a good mood. So I'm not going to rape you, or shoot you, or even sell you to the Swiss Chocolate Makers for beer money. I'm not going to do a thing.'

A wave of relief rolls over Sat.

'I'm going to let Damian do it.'

*Click*

A portal appears, as the scent of brimstone fills the room. From the glowing swirling mirad steps out Damian, Satan's bastard son, from a faild relationship with Cher.

"What the fuck is going on!? Who the fuck was stupid enough to..

Oh, hey Koneko. What's up?"


'Just need you to take care of this poor n00b.'

"Shit... look, you know I'd help, really I would... But I'm getting shit from Dad. 'We gave ourselve for humanity... we should exist to prove he does... You shouldn't light Spain on fire..."

'That's never stopped you before.'

"Yeah.. but now, He's pissed. Ever since I helped Bush get into office, he's benn un to his ass in religious zealots, and political freaks. But I've got a cousin Akuma who could help..."

H-Kat thinks about it, and nods.

'Kinda... poetic.'

With that, Damian and Saturn vanish in a puff of smoke.

:smile: Actually, must say, this is one of the few initiations I've found to be more funny than distasteful. Bravo; I still have problems with hazing, but if it's gonna happen anyway then I'm glad it sometimes happens with some slight sense of literary style.

Ninjas: Fantastic or Fantasy? Historical accounts prove the existence of elite corps of covert operatives under the command of a feudal warlord or noble. But were they really capable of the feats that they are renowned for? Well, they probably didn't really have ninja magic, or ninja dogs, or were perversively deformed yet powerful, ala Ninja Scroll.

ES's ninjas will definately be of the 'fantasy' variety. But why am I postulating so much? Well, everyone knows what kunoichi are... famous for. That, and I'm still on a caffeine high.

I don't know if that's really a ninja... I thought he was a wizard, since his staff has some figure at the top, much as we've seen with other wizards. Also, it looked more like a robe than one of the black outfits. Are there some details I didn't notice?

People are referring to Sara's FPL sheet (and possibly other sources, like the 'feh' page, I don't know). According to the FPL sheet, Sara is a member of an order of assassin monks. And she uses a staff with some sort of magic-power-crystal-blades at the ends. Just look at her in the art section of the ES site.

The sash that the man is wearing around his midsection rather resembles a monk's or a pugilist's apparel, too. He looks too much a fighting man to be a wizard, but then there's always Neverwinter Nights and everyone wears pants these days. *sigh*

Has nobody else noticed that this is the first real sign of technology we've seen so far. Apart from Jon's guns, which have only appeared in character art, every other strip has been strictly old school fantasy.

Now we get some tech, maybe some steampunk, who knows.

Go the pocket watch.
