Also I want the backround to look like its mist(grey transparent)

Hey guys, I am no good with imaging and computer art, so I thought I would ask you guys.

I would like to have an abstract pic (a rectangle, like the ones that people have under the page break).

Ok this is what I would like:

A face pic of Jubei from Ninja Scroll on the left hand side.
Red "Halo" font letters that say: MasterBlaster500
and under the letters have a blood effect(Dripping blood underline if possible).

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Ok, I am not really the kind of person that complains about things. But, it has come to my attention that there are alot of things in this world that just piss me off beyond comprehension. I don't say anything about them, its just the little things that annoy the shit out of you.
So, since I don't complain about them in my life, I thought why not make a little topic where we can ALL complain and bitch about the things that piss us off. Hey ya' gotta' get it out sometime, right? So you might as well do it somewhere before you end up taking out an entire office building of the people you hate.
So, if you got something to complain about, and you want to hear other's thoughts on the matter, complain about it here. Shit if you wanna' complain about this topic, go right the fuck ahead! I won't stop you.

So since I started this mess, let me be the first one to complain about something.
I fucking hate the logic of colleges. Now let me explain:
I am going to college for a degree in writing. (Imagine that!) Well, you would think that I would have to take a bunch of English, and writing coarses for that right? Well, that part is true. Apparently you also have to take at least one coarse from EVERY fucking subject (Even, P.E, Math, Science, and social studies). WTF? What the hell does P.E, Math, Science, and Social studies have to do with writing? In my opinion its just there way of bleeding you out of as much money as possible. Those greedy bastards try to make it sound like a good package, but when you look at the fine print these guys are just a bunch of fucking assholes trying to screw you out of your money.
Lesson: If you are going to go to college, make sure to look at all your options first, and keep an eye on your bank account as well.

Well, thats my first complaint. I'm sure those of you in college will agree that the financial ramifications are fucking absurd.

"dont worry i wont be here for long her is a map"
Karn saw a floor plan of the station in her head.
"you go i will go to the ships control center. from there i will cut off the power to the turrets and all but one of the ships in the docking bay. take a ship called the equila it is the fastest and most feul efficent."
then he flew up to where the control center was.

Karn saw the map in his head, "Wow, so you are useful after all."
Karn looked to Gattsu and Josephine, "Follow me, our ghostly pal has provided me with a map of this place, we can get to the docking bay this way!" Karn pointed to a blast door just 20 meters down the cooridoor.

Gattsu stands up quickly and deflects several shots from Arcturus and his troops. Gattsu helps Josephine, and Karn to their feet, both were stunned badly by the shockwave.
"Get moving!" Gattsu concentrates hard and swings his blade at lightning speed. The sheer speed of the blade sends a vertical (kind of a shockwave but as sharp as a sword) toward the enemy.
At a distance of 30 feet away one trooper is sliced in half(right beside Arcturus.) This also causes a section of the metal celing to collapse, not blocking the way, but hindering the immortal and his troops movement for a moment.
"Lets go, that will only hold them for a moment!" Gattsu has the others progress through the cooridoor while they can.

Also, maybe one of you guys can help me out with this. How do I make links to this place and other forums down below.(After the page break).

I want it to say "Writers Guild" and then people would just be able to click on it.(Make it easier for me too lol).

Also, I know I haven't posted and short stories on here in a long while, but I am working to get a book of short stories published, so I will post some stuff on here whenever I can.

Name: Matt

it then sends a bright red laser ball at him destroy the grunts armor

Gattsu charges quickly at the turret, he stops once he has passed the large weapon, his blade in front of him as if he had just striked.
The turret stops all movement, Gattsu stands still in the same position. A moment later there is sparks that eminate from the middle of the turret as it splits in two.
Gattsu moves from his position, and rejoins the others down the hall.

the gaurd made his way to the door bullets bounceing of him.
"dam they shut down the elevator and the door is renforced. there is an emergency lock. princess pick the lock. meanwhile"
looks at the gun
"i think ill go have some fun
blast some gaurds away

Karn was hit several times in the chest by weapons fire, orange light shined brightly out of the wounds; but the wounds quickly closed. Karn gave out a laugh.
"Poor mortals, always clutching the belief that a gun can defeat any foe!" Karn's tail launched across the hall, over 25 feet before impailing two guards through the chest. His tail then returned to normal length(a little over 6 feet in length, the claw is 2 feet in length).

Karn let out a laugh and twirled the gun as if he were John Wayne. "Ah, I predict senseless slaughter in the near future, this is where my expertise comes in." Karn takes point and moves past Arcturus.
Gattsu turns to Josephine, "Thank you for the rescue. Seems Karn and I have been slacking on our job." Gattsu said with a smile, he then moved off behind Karn and the guard who suddenly defected.(lol)

She takes his gun, checks the charge and desides to seek out the others and the gear.*

Gattsu and Karn hear the commotion down the hall, Karn still struggles against the entity inside him, his babylonian scimitar emurges from a bright flash of orange light. Gattsu unsheathes his Mirror blade katana. The field is on, but it seems that the prison break has only just begun!

and with that Matt went in to Arcturus. Arcturus took out his the remote control for the force feild. then he deativated it. Matt went back into Karn. then he said to the samirie guy "come on before he reativates it befor running away into the maze of corridors.

(You can't just take control of someone else's character like that. To keep the story rolling smoothly, everyone has to agree with the actions. An action like that requires the creator of the character's permission first.)

At 1/11/05 08:05 PM, DiggerDude wrote: "who's your friend"

Karn sensed Gattsu's conciousness return. "My companion, we came here to help her..." Karn struggled against the possession still.
"Now if you want our help, you will have to find a way to deactivate this shield!" Karn replied.

At 1/11/05 07:55 PM, DiggerDude wrote: "before i entered the base i did a scan with my ship, the one that just exploded i know a way to the ship port there we can hijack a ship in the confusion and get out

Karn clenched his teeth, "That's quite interesting, but there is the matter of the forcefield that not even I can break through hindering our efforts. Find a way to deactivate this field, and then maybe we can talk about escaping."

Gattsu slowly returned to conciousness, his immortal healing abilities were slowly rejecting the serum that was keeping him unconcious.
Gattsu stirred on the cell's bed and sat up slowly, he felt different somehow. As if he was missing something of himself. The samurai remembered what Dah'Kee had said to him, Gattsu realized then and there that he had lost many of his former powers, Dah'Kee's dark magic had locked them away in order to protect himself from the wrath of the Samurai-Ninja.
Gattsu took a deep breath and hoped that his skills would be enough to fulfill his promise.

Gattsu surveyed his surroundings and saw Karn, struggling against something, and also an immortal standing outside of a forcefield looking quite confused. Gattsu realized that they were once again captive.
"Why is it we always end up in a jail cell...." Gattsu muttered, the warrior stood up and faced Karn and Arcturus.

"would you like to escape or not"

Karn thought for a minute, "What did you have in mind?" Karn still struggled, not allowing the ghost to gain ground in his possession.

Karn felt the intrusion into his body, being a powerful oni(demon) of the Netherrealm this tactic is used by several kinds of creatures in that accursed plane of existance.
Karn spoke back to the creature inside him, "Help me? You are trying to control me... Arrgh!!"
Karn's will was strong, he was putting up quite a fight against the ghost's attempts to control him, something the ghost had not encountered in most host bodies. As independent as Karn was, he would never back down.

Karn sat down, "Fine, you have questions, I have questions. We both answer each other's questions and we will both be in a better mood, agreed?"

At 1/11/05 04:01 PM, Tacitacial wrote: *Arcturus walked further down the hall the cell that held Gattsu and Karn, this cell also protected by an anti-magic field.*
Arcturus: "Welcome to this fine DefTech establishment, gentlemen and I apologise for the rude treatment you received. The OWCA is at war with the ECWA and we can't take any risks. Now, I need you to tell me who you are and why you are here. I know you two are both immortal, as am I. All you have to do to get your freedom back is to answers our questions to our satisfaction. Jabitha told me that you were involved in terrorist activities on Earth about 200 years ago. From that, I conclude that the Earth government is as much your enemy as it is mine. The OWCA is always looking for new allies to fight the ECWA. So, what is your response? Who are you and why are you here?"

Gattsu was barely concious and did not pay any attention to Arcturus. Karn was angry, he hated cages.
"We are not here for your war and we will take no sides. Our main interest is not of your concern. Where is the girl!" Karn growled defiantly.

At 1/10/05 04:57 PM, -TheDoctor- wrote: Jabitha: We will be stopping when we meet with a corporate vessel to hand Josephine over. If they want you two as well then you will go with her. If not we will drop you on the nearest available world.

Karn glares at Jabitha and her men, it didn't seem like they could escape the forcefield. Karn would just have to wait and see what happened next, hoping that something would disrupt the forcefield for just a second.

Gattsu was sedated on the floor, his heart slowed to a very slow beat.

Karn roars a defiant demonic growl that shakes the floor around him, "Were back for one minute and the shit hits the fan. I hate these damn contraptions. I must warn anyone that approaches us inside the forcefield... I haven't decapitated anyone in a few weeks and my tail seems a bit twitchy." Karn's tail extends to where the forcefield begins.

Gattsu lay on the ground unconcious. Blackness enveloped his mind.
"I am happy that you have rid the netherrealm of Trilexx. That means I am in debt to you in some way." A demonic voice echoed in his mind.
"Let me be the first to congratulate you on a job well done, you have slain a god! This has put me in command of the remaining hoards of the realm." The voice explained.
"But, this is where I feel that I must protect my own interests, if you were to come looking for me, what would I do? The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and for a while that was so. That is over now." The voice said.
There was a long pause, "It was me Gattsu, me all along in your head, you had me at the point of your blade and yet you stayed your hand. For sparing my life I will spare yours, but there is of course a price to that luxury!" The voice yelled.

Suddenly, Gattsu's unconcious body lifts from the ground of the ship, Gattsu opens his eyes only to scream at the top of his lungs.
"DAH'KEE DAMN YOU!!" Gattsu screamed, red and orange energy pulsed through his body making the clerics fly across the room.
"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!" Gattsu screamed in pain as the energy pulses grew larger. In a moment a large metaphasic energy shockwave exploded across the ship. No serious damage but it knocked everyone on the ship off their feet, and shut down the ship's systems for a few seconds, then they were back online.
Gattsu dropped to the ground in a heap as the power was restored around the ship. The large pulse even took the ship out of hyperspace for a short period of time. Gattsu lay unconcious on the floor once again.

Karn got to his feet, "Dah'Kee, Trilexx's right hand tanari... I knew there had to be some involvement." Karn looked back to Jabitha.
"So, where does this tin can's next stop?" Karn gave an annoyed look Jabitha's way.

Jabitha: Please, there is no need to be so agressive. You would have been lucky to reach the next world in that old escape pod, I was simply doing you a favour.
*An acolyte approaches her and whispers a brief message*
Jabitha: Ah, it seems the nearby ships have some interest in you, if you would follow me I can take you to the bridge where you will be able to converse with them.
*She leads them out of the docking bay and through several cargo bays. Mid way through a large empty section Jabitha turns around*
Jabitha: Here we are.
*Force fields activate around Josephine and Karn, along with a magic-dampening field over the entire bay. Jabitha takes out her comm. and contacts the bridge*
Jabitha: Take us out of here.
*The Inquisitor jumps to hyperspace*
Jabitha: And take the other one to a secure cell, full force fields and anti-magic.

Karn is startled by the forcefields, "Damned mechanical contraptions. I demand to know the reason of our detainment!"
Even with the magical dampening fields on the babylonian scimitar eminates it's energy.
Karn's orange eyes glow brightly, Jabitha can sense that the oni is beginning to lose control over himself, rage is beginning to take over.
"I demand to know your position now!" Karn growled.

At 1/9/05 08:51 PM, Baderact wrote: Outside of Jabitha's Ship (sorry I am far too lazy to look back and fins out its name), a small armada from Port Royal arrives. Forwarding an uplink from Tortuga, Zanzibar's message is sent to Jabitha's ship.
"Good evening. I am Zanzibar of the Northern and Western Universe. I have recently come to find out that you have a young woman that has recently boarded your ship. Although, we are now a peaceful government, we must demand that custody of the young lady be reliquished, and she be left in our care. Also, I very much do not appreciate anyone pretending to be pirates. We are the pirates of this time and will be forced to destroy anyone else taking that name. So if you would be so kind, please, hand over the girl."

(out of character... Jabitha is no pirate, Jabitha is some cult's captain or something... My pirate forces haven't yet met you. ^-^ )

Karn's senses the Port Royal armada outside Jabitha's ship, "This situation has gone from bad to worse, now there is a cluster of ships outside this one. I am not one to give in to threats either. In fact, threats only make me enjoy my work much much more."
Karn steps closer to Jabitha, "Friend or foe, speak it now or I will show you a side of pain that few individuals have ever had the misfortune to experience." Karn's tail slowly extends a few feet, the claw at the end snaps wildly as if it had been angered.

Jabitha: Aha, good to see you all. Please, come with me and I will explain everything.

Karn steps forward and locks his orange glowing eyes on Jabitha's own eyes. Karn points his ancient blade in Jabitha's direction, his tail seems lock on to the individual.
"You will answer me now, why have you detained this vessel? Who are you? Answer quickly and you may yet keep your loins inside your person." Karn's eyes glowed with a look of pure evil, he had been through too much to be pushed around by some intersteller pirate.

I dealt with them often enough with the wine trade. They can be frisky but have no idea what to do with any woman past a pub wench.

Karn let out a laugh, "Good, then they hopefully won't give us too much trouble." Karn was constantly using his senses to keep track of the individuals on the pirate ship and Raze's craft.
"Seems like our pal Raze has called it quits for the day, although I sense that someone onboard is still manning the helm. Strange, I haven't seen this many immortals together since the last Gathering." Karn said staring at the wall of the ship, as if he could see through it.

At 1/8/05 09:16 PM, stafffighter wrote: Aside from the fact that this whole system is my dads place and he sees it as his responcibility to batman the galexy, not much. This time yesterday I was delivoring a villagers baby.

Karn felt Gattsu's pulse, "He won't be awake for a while, I sense that the ship that has a hold on us is very large, and our friend Raze is still close by. It seems that he is trying to figure out a way to procure you. Heh, people are coming from all over to get their hands on you, You must drive the guys crazy at pubs, heh!"
Karn's babylonian scimitar materialized in his right hand in a flash of bright orange light.
"I hope they are friends of yours, otherwise we are going to have quite a battle on our hands." Karn said with a grin.

(Was just wondering what happened to Farlander, Marik/Juno, and Lizodium?)

Karn stopped Josephine from grabbing the medical kit.
"What's happening to him can not be cured with that." Karn sat down.
"This is the reason why we left. Someone was getting into his mind, we thought for years that it was Trilexx. But apparently we were wrong, this smells of "Tanari" involvement." Karn said half to himself.
"Trilexx is dead, this has sent an uproar in the Netherrealm. Whomever is left of his failed empire must still be trying to destroy us. Who could it be? We destroyed them all..." Karn wondered, going through the past battles in his head.
As the tractor beam was activated Karn stood up, "It seems that we have become the subject of much interest." Karn's tail flicked at the air. "I wonder what has made you such a prized commodity?" Karn wondered.
