Neoscream's Life, the 23th to the 29th of May

Well another week of is now over and done with and it is time to write it up. Well the week before last was a dead week for gaming as both HeroClix and Role-Play did not, but what did last week bring.

On Monday morning I missed Blaire as my phone dead. However LittleSara was online. With the buses problem I court the 2 bus to work. It was super busy bus. I worked from 9:45AM to 3:15PM. When I finish work I popped into Curries to pick up a new audio cable. After getting home I continaled ripping CDs. I finished the soundtracks and got to The Corrs in alphabetical order. I also listened to a lot of old Otaku.com podcasts.

On Tuesday morning Blaire was online. I missed her on MFC due to sleeping, but I court her on SkinVideo. She had a new toy to play with and poor Kola is scared of it. After Blaire and Cudda left I want onto MFC and LittleSara was online. Before going to work I did two blog posts, last week's Neoscream's Life post and a video preview of a book I really want, Transformers: The Vault. I worked from 9:45AM to 4:15PM. When I got home I went to check my blog for some stuff I needed for the DreamClix side of my HeroClix post, but Blogger (Blog Spot) was not working. Like the dial ideas for dial designs and the other Soul Eater characters to compare with the ones I was doing. Never mind. With Blogger, I keep getting the login screen. Regardless of what I do I always get the login screen, go to someone else's blog, going to the links below like contact us, even when I login. As I could always do it tomorrow, I gave up for today. With the CD ripping I got up to S Club (7).

On Wednesday morning I awoke from an interesting dream. It came in two parts. The first was a small team of people were part of what seemed to be some kind of an occult investigation team. Three of their members were sent to keep watch on a boy. Two men and one woman. The boy had just begun to use magic, however he had a curse. If he uses his magic to impress a girl, a daemon would be summoned. The boy entered a Robot Wars like event and used his magic to enhance his robot to win. He wanted to win to impress a girl he liked. So the daemon was summoned. The three people started to fight the daemon with backup on the way. One on males had cybernetic parts, the other male seemed to have a power like the first stage of the curse mark power from Naruto and the female was able to analyze what was happening with great detail. That is was the first part of the dream ended. The second part of the dream began with three kids/teenagers arriving at a motorway rest stop. Two of them were the guy with the cybernetics and the female from the first part but a bit younger. The third one was a little bit older girl. They went to a coffee with an arcade. The girl from the first dream was a robot that looked human and was pregment. Most likely some kind of Bioroid (artificially human). The guy really cared for her even thou the baby she was carrying so not his. In fact it was no ones. The three of them were on the run from something or someone. The guy went off to buy some supplies. When he got back the girls were missing. After looking around for them with no luck, the other guy from the first dream turned up with one or two others. He asked what happened and that is where the dream ended. There was no Blaire or LittleSara in the morning and Blogger was still coming up with the login screen. I worked from 9:45AM to 12:15PM. When I got home LittleSara was online for a couple of minute. When I checked Blogger to see if was working yet I found it was not still the login screen. If it does not come back online by tomorrow morning, I will not have the time the do the DreamClix stuff I have not done yet. On the CD ripping side nothing happened as I had to try to fix memory problems with computer (not laptop). I was ripping CDs of the computer than the laptop because I wanted to keep the laptop tidy. I ended up writing about stuff from the dream as I am thinking about writing a story about it. So I wrote some basic information about character and a basic story board.

On Thursday morning Blogger was still coming up with the login screen so I have to drop most of the DreamClix side to my HeroClix post for this week. Crap. I brifly saw LittleSara before going to work. I worked from 12PM to 2PM. When I got back home LittleSara was still online, but only for a couple of minutes sadly. I manage to clear some of the memory of the C drive of my computer but it was not enought to run the computer and I found that the music files were being saved to the D drive so should not have effected the C drive's memory. I have also uninstealed half a dozen files and now the only things on it the inportent programs like Windows, Office and Video Players and I still do not have enought free memory to defrag it. Infact after uninstealing several program I lost free memory than gained it. I am going to need Darren H to have a look at it. Maybe if my protection supports it reformate it might be an idea. Blogger was still coming up with the login screen, before and after going to HeroClix. There is no real CosmicBreak news for non American players. There is a convention called FanimeCon 2011 happening at Northern California this week end. I would love to have the Lily Rain Eve Dakimakura (Human size pillow) cover and the Eihwaz Music CD. Howevery the Lily Rain Eve Dakimakura is too costly at $120 for just a cover. That is about £80. With the pillow that is a push but just the cover. NO WAY.

On Friday morning Blaire was online. Sadly I only court her when she was in a rare Private show and when she finished, she only stayed on for five to ten before going. Blaire rarely does Private show these days, she prefers Group Show. I am not getting into all the details here. You can ask her. Blogger was still coming up with the login screen. I did try asking Blaire before she left but by the sound of things she has not been on it. I manage to finish off writing the new HeroClix post just before heading to work. I got to work for a 9:45AM start. I was told to wait until they tell me to start. So I worked on this blog post, I up top the end of yesterday by about 11AM. By this point my blue tooth headphone ran out of power so I cannot listen to any more music. Still have to wait. Wrote a rough plan for the role-play game next week added more of a plan story line about the dream I had yesterday which took me to 11:30AM and still had to wait with nothing to do. I ended finally starting work at 12PM after over two hours of waiting. I ended up finishing at 3AM. As I was still getting the login page I did not post HeroClix post.

Blaire
On Saturday morning Blaire was online. I asked her about Blogger and she replied that it was weeking for her. However I was still getting the login screen. I tried login in, something I have done since Tuesday and it worked. Maybe there was a bug on Tuesday and I ended up with a bad cookie on my laptop. I can tell that it was working on Wendesday as there was a post on the Doctor Who blog I follow on that day and it is a Blogger blog too. I posted the HeroClix post before going to the shopping centre. While out I got a hair cut and had a look about. I ended up having coffee with mum as there was no Richard this week as he was away, which means no Jake, and Darren H called it off. The girl I have the hots for that works at Starbucks was back from University. After a quick chat with her I found she has been enjoying University and been doing quite well. Apart from needing to go back for one more exam, she was back for the summer holidays. After coffee me and my mum went into the apple store. My mum wanted to look at the iPhones once I had a quick look at the iPads. My mum decided she will get a iPhone but not right now. I worked from 12PM to 4PM. During the day I received a Twitter from Kayann. She was saying sorry for being away for so long and that June will be her last month on MFC. It will be sad not to bhave her online any more, however she was hardly around. As I was about to go to bed Blaire came online so I ended up going to bed about 1AM or 2AM.

Like normal Sunday was a normal day off work me. As there was no role-play this week as there was no Richard. I did not do much. I posted the next DreamClix Dial Design Revisited and Watch, Listen and Read post.

Well that is another week over and done with. Here is a list of up and coming blog post and the planned (not set) dates for them:

Wednesday 1st June: "Cosplay Deviants Set Preview of Kandie".
Thursday 2nd June: "DreamClix Dial Designs Revisited".
Friday 3rd June: “HeroClix”.
Sunday 5nd June: "DreamClix Dial Designs Revisited", "Watch, Listen and Read" and maybe a "Cosplay Deviants Set Preview".
Tuesday 7th June: “Neoscream's Life”.

Until next time, have fun.

Watch, Listen and Read for the week of the 23rd to the 29th of May

Another week, another Watch, Listen and Read post. I will now be trying to remember to add WWE stuff to the list.

On Monday I watched this week’s episode of the Gadget Show, episodes 16 and 17 of the Gadget Show Web TV and listened to episodes 1 to 6 and 2X of season 6 of the Otaku.com (I really miss not having Batou on Anime Pulse) and episode 280 of Anime Pulse.

On Tuesday I watched WWE Over the Limit, two Gadget Show web clips (Jason Bradbury reviews Prince of Persia and The Gadget Show's Road Trip special), episode 237 of the subtitled version of Bleach and listened to episode 37 of ClixCast.

On Wednesday I watched episode 144 of the subtitled version of Naruto Shippuuden, episode 18 of the Gadget Show web TV and this week’s WWE Monday Night Raw. I also finally received in the post volume two of the Code Geass Novels. Hippy.

On Thursday I watched five Gadget Show web clips (Jon tests action stills cameras, Toy 5 ski gadgets, Road Trip, Ski-Gym and Behind the Scenes: Action Stills Cameras).

On Friday I listened to episode 107 of Manga Pulse.

On Saturday I watched episode 145 of the subtitled version of Naruto Shippuuden, episode 4 and 5 of the Code Geass Picture Drama, episode 226 of One Piece, this week’s WWE Friday Night Smackdown, episode 54 of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s and finished reading chapter 5 of Dragon Ball Multiverse.

Heroclix 26th of May, X Blog?

Welcome to another Heroclix post. Sorry about the late post, I for some reason was not able to access Blog Spot (Blogger) since Tuesday afternoon. More details on that in the next “Neoscream’s Life post”. This week's game was bring two 300 points teams. Team One must be all villains, maximum of two figures and no figure less than 100 points. Team Two must be all good guys, minimum of four figures and no figure over 100 points. Ok at first I did not do much thanking on my villain team. My first team could have spelled DOOM for me. Sorry for the bad pun. But at the last moment I change to a one man team:

Vulcan (Giant Size X-Men) 275
=275 points and no re-roll.

For my heroes team I went for X-Force. Due to points resticions there is no Wolverine and no stunning blow on Siryn sadly. Also I had to do a last moment swap, as I could not get to my X-32 due to it was buried away in the repair box inside a large packing box as a ton of myself are in packing boxes as we will be getting new windows soon. So I went for Elixir and kitted the team with the X-Force ATA. However the ATA is a waste of points on Siryn as she is a flyer, but they all have to be given it to.

Warpath (Web of Spider-Man) 70 + X-Force (ATA) 4 = 74
Domino (Giant Size X-Men) 69 + X-Force (ATA) 4 = 73
Siryn (Giant Size X-Men) 94 + X-Force (ATA) 4 = 98
Elixir (Giant Size X-Men) 51 + X-Force (ATA) 4 = 55
=300 points and two re-rolls.

In the first round I was up ageist Adrian. He used his Gothan City themed Heroes Team who were:

Batman (Justice League) 75
Nightwing (Crisis) 79 154
Robin (Crisis) 79 233
Harvey Dent (Arkham Asylum) 67
=300 points and two re-rolls.

This meant I had to use Vulcan. I ended up losing this game. However I did take down the bloody Nightwing. On the second round I was up ageist Darren. He was single figure Viillain team who was:

Phoenix (Giant Size X-Men) 297
=297 points and no re-rolls.

Because of this I had to use my Heroes team. I manage to win the game from a super luck critical hit on Phoenix from Domino (+3 damage for her crits). I got the bye of the third round. On the fourth round we had a problem. The pairing was not working out somehow. So I ended up playing Darren again. This time he was uysing his Teen Titan themed Heroes team who were:

Cyborg (Vet Unleashed) 65
Beast Boy (75th) 60
Donna Troy (75th) 79
Starfire (Vet Icons) 96
=300 points and two re-rolls.

As he was heroes this round, I had to use the third Summers Brother, Vulcan. The Titens crumbbled to the might of Vulcan. In the fifth and final round, I was up ageist Adam. He was usingv his Mystical Heroes who were.

Elsa Bloodstone (Giant Size X-Men) 73
Karnilla (Hammer of Thor) 64
Scarlet Witch (Exp Fantastic Forces) 49
Wiccan (Avengers) 54 230
Puma (Web of Spider-Man) 56
=286 points and one re-roll.

As he was hereos I ended up being Villians for a third game. I lost this game most likey due to the critical miss on my first attack. Well three wins out of five games was not bad at all. For those who want to know, here aare the other teams:

Michael's Heroes Team - Legion of Super Heroes
Young Superman (Legion of Super Heroes) 100
Lightning Lad (Legion of Super Heroes) 70
Cosmic Boy (Legion of Super Heroes) 70
Dawnstar (Crisis) 60
=600 points and two re-rolls

Adam's Villains Team - Sinestro Corps.
Mongul (75th) 176
Sinestro (Exp Leg?) 124
=300 points and two re-rolls.

Micheal's Villains Team - Ruler/Armour non themed team
Kristoff (Secret Invasion) 100
Victor Von Doom (Secret Invasion) 200
=300 points and no re-rolls.
(This was the same team I was thinking of using at first)

Adrian's Villains team - Injustica League
Zoom (AA) 130
Lex Luthor (JL) 161
=291 points and two re-rolls

Next week will be 600 point, four actions, most be a named theme and no card (Feats, ATA, Bystanders).

This week’s previews were of Squirrel Girl, Adaptoid and Super Adaptoid from the Captain America set. Squirrel Girl is ok, but like Armor, she is not worth a Super Rare slot. However she has made me rethink how to do Kiba from Naruto. Also on other Wizkids news, they will be releasing pre-painted plastic fantasy miniatures for a role-play game called Pathfinder. Pathfinder is made by Paizo.

Well now to Dreamclix. Sadly due to not being able to access Blogger all this time, I can only give you the Code Geass dial ideas for Lancelot and C.C. as I needed access to the blog to do they rest of the stuff. I will try to do a bigger than normal DreamClix in next week's HeroClix post.

First we have the knighmare frame, the Lancelot from Code Geass. The Lancelot, named after the Knight of the Round Table, is an experimental Knightmare Frame developed by Lloyd Asplund and the Military Engineering Corps. It is the first seventh generation Knightmare Frame ever fielded. The Lancelot outperforms most other models thanks to the heavy amount of Sakuradite scattered throughout its frame as well as in its Yggdrasil Drive, the Core Luminous. As it is still in development, the Lancelot lacks an ejection seat. Its pilot is Suzaku Kururugi. It should have a the Knightmare Trait, the Giant symbol, special called "High Speed Reactions", Blades, Impervious, Invulnerability, Toughness and Range Combat Expert.
Knightmare Frame: Lancelot can use Leap Climb and Energy Shield Deflection.
High Speed Reactions: Lancelot can use Charge, Running Shot and Super Senses.
It should nine clicks of health and starting states of Movement 14, Attack 11, Defence 18, Damage 3 and Range 10 with one target. Its TA should be the Britannian one and its keywords should be Robot, Knightmare and Britannian.

Lastly this week we have C.C. from Code Geass. C.C (pronounced C2) is immortal, healing from any wound (implied to include beheading) with enough time. She also does not age. Apart from her immortality, C.C. has the ability to bestow people with the power of Geass, which manifests differently in each person but generally carries the ability to affect the minds of those it is used on in some way. A Geass sigil appears on her forehead whenever she manifests this power, and she has a similar scar on her left breast. Her powers caught the interest of Britannia, who imprisoned her for experimentation purposes. She should have a trait called "Geass Code", Stealth and Regeneration.
Geass Code: C.C. cannot be the target of Mind Control, Perplexed or Outwit. When C.C. is KOd, you may place a Geass counter on a friendly character adjacent to her that does not have a Geass Counter and then remove her from the map and place her on her character card. At the beginning of your turn, you may heal C.C. of 1 damage. After her starting click is revealed, you may place her in any starting area as a free action during your turn. Opponents receive victory points each time C.C. is KOed. If a character with a Geass counter has the Geass keyword they gain +1 to their Attack value for the rest of the game. If a character with a Geass counter does not have the Geass keyword they roll a D6 and gain the power on the list below for the rest of the game.
  1. Mind Control as if the character has a Range of 4.
  2. Mastermind.
  3. Outwit.
  4. Probability Control.
  5. Incapacitate as if the character has a Range of 4 and three targets.
  6. Super Senses.
She should have four clicks of health and starting states of Movement 8, Attack 8, Defence 18, Damage 1 and Range 6 with one target. She should not have any TAs and her keywords should be Black Knights, Cosmic and Past.

Next week's DreamClix will be the same as what this week was meant to be. However there will be three CosmicBreak characters instead of two Code Geass characters. Also there might be some extra stuff too to make up for the lack of a DreamClix post this week. Until next time, have fun.

Transformers Vault: The Complete Transformers Universe


ME WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neoscream's Life, the 16th to the 22nd of May

Well another week of is now over and done with and it is time to write it up. Well the week before last was a week off, my birthday and the start of my turn as Games Master at roleplay. There were a couple of things I forget to talk about last week. The main one was that I was planning to apply for a job that Richard told me about. It was a 7:30AM start and with the current bus time I would be about to bus it to there. Then on Friday when we were going to fill in the appocation form, Richard somehow leant that the bus time table was changing on the 22nd of May. We look on-line at the new time tables and we found I couple make it to that job on time any more. In fact the busses near me have been really 'f'ed up. The 4A that ran every half an hour has been replaced by the 28 that runs every hour by a defferent compainy than the one that does Milton Keynes. This will 'f' up bus passes for me. This means I have to chance the number 2 that does not run on my estate. C'Est la Vie. Well I best get back to the post.

littleSARA4u
On Monday morning LittleSara was online. I worked from 8AM to 12PM. When I got home I did a lot of worked on the NPCs from the Code Geass Role-Play Game that I am running. Also some time durring the day I recived a text from Darren S saying HeroClix will not be happening this week. So that sadly means no role-play and now no HeroClix this week.

On Tuesday morning both Blaire and LittleSara were on line. Due to sleepiness I only court B1aire on SkinVideo. As Blaire was in group most of the time I many chatted to the chatty and fantast LittleSara. I worked from 10AM to 3PM. When I get home I wrote what was left of the Neoscream's Life post (Tuesday onwards) and posted it.

On Wednesday both Blaire and LittleSara were online again. OK this has some problems both being online at the same time. Blaire is a my best friend online (not off line), but with internet speed she can be a pain to talk to when she is on camera as she ever misses my chat post or the audio breaks and I never here a reply. LittleSara (Elena) types than talks so it is easier to chat to her. Before going to work I popped into Craftworld with my mum. She found out what she was doing wrong with her jellary making, (she was not super gluing the nots) so she wanted to get more bits to make more. I worked from 9:45AM to 4PM. When I got home I worked on my HeroClix post and posted a preview on my blog of Jsica's new set on Cosplay Deviants, Harvest. It was up on Saturday, however I had not yet checked the set until now to realise that it was her.

On Thursday morning again both Blaire and LittleSara were online. Before going to work me and my mum popped into “Pets at Home” as my mum dicided to to buy some new cat toys and a new outside water dispensor. Sadly they did not have any water dispensors or gaps where they should be. Have they been banned for some reason? Due to the resent warm weather they are very inputant. Well anyway, I started work at 9:45AM and finished at 5PM as I did not have HeroClix this week. When I get home I decided to stop waiting for Anime-Media to get the second half of episode five of the X-Men anime and looked on-line for it. I manage to find it and watch both episodes that I had not seen yet. They had a Sentinel in episode 5, however I decided not to do a dial for it in DreamClix as Giant Size X-Men had enough of them to not to bovver. Afterwards I continalled worked on HeroClix post by doing the dials on HCRealms. I also posted a preview on my blog of one of Quinn's set on Cosplay Devients, Naughty Ninja. On CosmicBreak news, two new moes have been added to the game, Princess Elisalotte and Royal Archer Melfi. Elisalotte is another bloody land type while Melfi is a support type and sadly not an artillery Type I thought she would be when I spotted previews. Ok the latiest two support moes look really hot. There is also a chibi version of Melfi. Both the new Moes are only avalible in the new Royal Garapon with alternate versions of Renny Lop called Renny Lop Acro (with red colour hair) and Lily Rain called Lily Rain Le Reve (with mossy grey colour hair). I did not do any news for CosmicBreak last week due to time and the fact that there was not really anything to report about apart from bug fixes.

On Friday morning only LittleSara was online as Blaire never normally goes online on Thursdays her time). Sadly I did not get to chat to her much as she lost internet connection for most of the time. I worked from 9:40AM to 2PM. When I got home I finished off and posted the HeroClix post. I than ran teams two and three though the same challenge as the player with the ture state of the command team. The players on Sunday manage to take down half the command team and servived to round six. Teams two and three were taken dowe in half the time and only manage to take down one member of the command team. I also received a phone call from Simon. He was phoning people to see how they were doing. Before going to bed I ordered a couple of bits from 13th Floor. They were three D10s as the number of D10s I have had somehow dropped a lot and I cannot wait until July for Campaign, six HeroClix Green Lantern single figure boosters and the HeroClix Thor Fast Foruces box set. I would have ordered the Green Lantern Fast Foruces box set but sadly they have run out. For those who do not know, a D10 is a ten sided dice.

The Blackberry Touch
On Saturday it was only Blaire who was online. LittleSara stated that she will not be online on weekends. The connetion seemed to a bit better today and Blaire seemed to be in chat a lot longer today too. She was still sandy from going to the beach with her dogs Buddie and Kole. At coffee this was Richard, Jake and Darren. Jake was having Richard help him with transfarinhg data from his old Blackberry phone to his new Blackberry Touch. Lucky. If I had the money to get that model I would. It has both a touch screen and a physical keyboard, oh and 3G. Drull. However, apart from not having 3G my current phone, the Blackberry Curve 8520, is OK for want I use it for. I worked from 12PM to 1:45PM. When I got home I ran the last NPC team, team four, though the challenge. They lasted three turns like the other NPC teams, however they did not manage to take down any members of the command team. So the player did the best out of them all.

Renny Lop Acro and Lily Rain Le Reve
Sunday was a normal day off work me. Sadly there was no role-play this week due to the fact that Nathan was away doing LARP (Live Action Role-Play). So I dicided to tidy up my external hard drive and rip some of the old CDs that I have that I have never gotten around to rippping. I also posted the next DreamClix Dial Design Revisited post and the new Watch, Listen and Read post.

Well that is another week over and done with. Here is a list of up and coming blog post and the planned (not set) dates for them:

Friday 27th May: HeroClix.
Sunday 29nd May: "DreamClix Dial Designs Revisited", "Watch, Listen and Read" and maybe a "Cosplay Deviants Set Preview".
Tuesday 31st May: Neoscream's Life.

Until next time, have fun.

HeroClix Special, a villains holiday

Welcome to another Heroclix post. Sadly there were no games of HeroClix this week due to the fact Darren could not make it. So the event for this week was moved to next week. For those who do not remember, it will be bring two 300 points teams. Team One must be all villains, maximum of two figures and no figure under 100 points. Team Two must be all good guys, minimum of four figures and no figure over 100 points.

This week’s previews were of the six figures from the Green Lantren Fast Forces pack and the first figure from the Captain America set, a non Captain America Steve Rogers. This has reviled that they do have different dials to the single booster ones and that they are based on two 300 points forces. Sadly 13th Floor had sold out of the Green Lantarn Fast Forces packs so the the likey hood of me getting one is slim.

Well now to Dreamclix. In this week's DreamClix I am doing dial designs for Orihime Inoue from Bleach, Captain Kuro from One Piece, Kakashi’s Dog Squad from Naruto, Lin Yin Fang from IS: Infinite Stratos and Master Kon and Yukio from the Wolverine anime. And design ideas for Kurenai Yuhi from Naruto, Misa Amane from Death Note, Kaiju Giran from Dragon Ball, U-Men Commander from the X-Men anime and Maril March, Seraph Crimrose and Evilbat from CosmicBreak.

First off are the dial designs for Orihime Inoue, Captain Kuro, Kakashi’s Dog Squad, Lin Yin Fang, Master Kon and Yukio.


Next we have Kurenai Yuhi from Naruto. Kurenai Yūhi is the Konoha jōnin in charge of Team 8 (Team Kurenai), which consists of Kiba Inuzuka, his ninja dog Akamaru, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyūga. Kurenai is a genjutsu master, her skills even rivals Itachi Uchiha, the older brother of Sasuke. She should have Mind Control, two specials "Demonic Illusion" and "Tree Binding Death", Stealth, Incapacitate, Super Senses, Willpower and Perplex.
Demonic Illusion: Kurenai can use Stealth. If Kurenai is adjastent to an opponsing character, she is treated as if she is in hindering terrain.
Tree Binding Death: Kurenai can use Incapacitate. After making a successful Incapacitate attack, place Kurenai in an free squre adjastent to the target. The target suffers a -1 to there defence until the end of your next round.
She should have about six clicks of health and with starting states of Movement 8, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. Her TA should be the Naruto one and her keywords should be Konohagakure and Team Kurenai.

Next is Misa Amane from Death Note. Misa was an up-and-coming model who had an immense crush on Light Yagami, which quickly became a major obsession, to the point where she would do anything for him regardless of what happens to herself. She usually refers to herself in the third person by calling herself "Misa Misa" and tends to be hyperactive. She kills innocent people as the second Kira in order to attract the attention of the first Kira. Realising that Kira lives in Tokyo, Misa moves there in order to meet him. She lives in a small apartment which is fully decorated in gothic style, showing her rather eccentric nature. It is from this location that Misa devises to start using her Death Note and enacts her plan to send the videos to Sakura TV. Her motivations were not revealed until she actually visited Light's house and explained her tragic past and even says she would kill her best friend for Light. She should have a trait called "Death Note", Stealth, Psychic Blast, a special called "Shinigami Eyes" and Shape Change.
Death Note: Misa suffers a -2 to both her Attack and Damage values while making close-combat based attacks.
Shinigami Eyes: Misa ignore all terrain and characters for line of sight.
She should have about four clicks of health and with starting states of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 10 with one target. She should not have any TA and her keywords should be Celebrity, Kira, Mystical and Teen.

Next is Kaiju Giran from Dragon Ball. Giran is a Giras that entered the World Martial Arts Tournament. Although he is initially hostile against Goku and his companions, he later comes to respect Goku and even cooperates with him on more than one occasion. He should have the Flight symbol, Charge, Super Strength, Toughness and Leadership. He should have about six clicks of health and with starting states of Movement 10, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 0. He should not have any TA and his keywords should be Animal, Brute and Gira.

Next is the U-Men Commander from the X-Men anime. The commander or at least base command was a massive bliever of studing his opponants before attacking. In episode six he attack the X-Men and was able to counter all their powers, including Armor and Emma Frost who he had no data on. He absorbed Cyclops' blase and fired it back at him. He used magnitic missile the super heats the target than blow up on Wolverine. He had a drone that turned Storm's attacks back at her. The mecha his was in protected him from Emma's mind control. However Beast's intelligates helped the X-Men to win the fight. Now let us see want powers he should have. A special that can reflect range attack back on the attacker. Outwit and Incapacitate or a power that does both. Also Super Strenght, Invulnerability, Toughnes, Range Combat Expert and maybe thwe Giant symbol.
Reflect Attack: U-Men Command has Super Senses ageist range attacks. He he if he makes a succesful Super Senses roll, he can make a free range attack agaist the attacker. His damage value is replaced by the amout of damage that the attack on him was dealing.
Trapped: U-Men Commander can use Incapacitate. All the powers, abilities and traits of the target of an Incapacitate attack from U-Men Commander are Outwitted.
He should have about ten clicks of health and with starting states of Movement 10, Attack 10, Defence 18, Damage 3 and Range 10 with one target. He should not have any TA and his keywords should be Armour, Scintist and U-Men.

Next is Maril March from CosmicBreak. A fighting musician who wishes to change the world through music. (Is she another Basara from Macross 7?) Her beat and song can be heard by all. Maril is a medium size Artillry type moe. She should have the "ART" Trait, a spacial called "Beat", Invulnerability, Toughness and Perplex.
Beat: At the end of a turn that Maril has not made an action and this less rhan three Beat on her card, place Beat token on her card. If there are one or more Beat tokens on her card, she can use Pulse Wave. When making a Pulse Wave attack the damage dealt is equle to the number of Beat tokens on her card. After making a Pulse Wave attack remove all Beat tokens from her.
She should have about six clicks of health and with starting states of Movement 8, Attack 11, Defence 16, Damage 3 and Range 8 with two targets. Her TA should be the Union one and her keywords should be Artillery, Celebrity, Moe, Robot and Union.

Next is Seraph Crimrose CosmicBreak. A powered up form of Crimrose, representing her full potential. Blazes through the sky with her sparkling wings of light. In general this should be a improved version of Crimrose with an extra click of health, better states and a lot of Hypersonic.

Lastly we have Evilbat from CosmicBreak. This is a flying Chaos minion that is as enouing as Rabbi. It shound have the Fllight symbol, a special "Dive Bomb", Steal Energy and Super Senses.
Dive Bomb: Evilbat can use Charge. If it does it gains a +2 to its damage value.
It should have three clicks of health and starting values of Movememt 10, Attack 9, Defence 18, Damage 2 and Range 0. Its TA should be the Chaos one and its keywords should be Air, Chaos and Robot.

Next time in DreamClix, I am planning on doing dial ideas for some characters from the X-Men anime (hopefully), as well as the Death the Kid, Liz and Patty duo (trio), Weapon Master Death the Kid and Liz and Patty duo from Soul Eater and two more Code Geass characters characters. With dial designs I am planning on doing Lauch from Dragon Ball, Yasutora “Chad” Sado from Bleach, Zero Saber from CosmicBreak and two more characters from the Wolverine anime. Until next time, have fun.
