I am the wind.

Welcome to windroars, an account that is henceforth to be used for any fanworks and roleplay information I decide should be here. You will not find any personal entries here because I will not be making anymore. If you would like to contact me for personal things, however, feel free to do so through PMs, IMs, or Plurk.

Hopefully from now on I can keep things cleaner and better managed.

BLEACH

Treading Icy Waters
The board has been laid out. The pieces have been set and moved. The pawns are scattered across the floor, and Ichimaru’s fingers are wrapped around a stark white bishop. “That’s another check, little taichou.” The game has only begun.

( CompleteCollapse )

Dead Man Walking
Hitsugaya's disappearance left Seireitei with plenty of unanswered questions, but when a boy, identical to the supposedly late taichou, appears on Earth, to what lengths will everyone go to find out why? And when the answer does come, will it be too late?

( Work in ProgressCollapse )

The Narcissus
Rangiku Matsumoto is thrust into unwilling captaincy when former captain Gin Ichimaru is captured by the royal navy. In a moment of drunken desperation, she drags her crew down with her to kidnap a prince and force a trade. But who is this boy by the prince's side, and why can't she tell what he's thinking?

HUNTER X HUNTER

Saints and Sinners
With a turf war on the horizon, four unlikely friends band together, determined to survive at all costs. This proves easier said than done when enemies arise at every turn. Even in the mirror.

Fanfiction

Stalled || Adstringendum-verse. HitsuSasu. Angsty monologue. Hitsugaya reflects on why he can't speak his mind around a certain fire-breathing shinobi.

Character Essays

Pre-Series Overview of Hitsugaya || Taking another look at his overall motivations and influences.

With a lot of roleplay games moving over to Dreamwidth, including my own, I'm slowly moving this journal over as well. Just a heads up for anyone who might actually still be reading.

Still going by windroars. Moving things over, including stuff I have in comms, is going to take a while longer though.

'Til next time.

Well, hello there, strangers. Someone recently asked me to make an icon coloring tutorial, and since I have a lot of time at the moment, I thought I should at least try. The way I color icons is pretty straightforward. I subscribe to the idea that simpler is better when you're making something as small as a 100x100 pixel square, so don't sweat the small stuff. Things that look bad when the image is large can look good when it's small, and vice versa.

So without further ado, here goes nothing. Or rather, here goes a day in front of the computer.

Title: Saints and Sinners
Fandom: Hunter x Hunter
Main Characters: Killua Zoldyck, Gon Freecss, Kurapika Kurta, Leorio Paladiknight
Rating: PG-16
Genre: Alternate Universe/General/Crime/Friendship/Drama
Warnings: Language, violence, abuse
Setting: A modern day world in the city of Yorkshin, which, as it turns out, is not exactly the best neighborhood to live in. Especially since it houses the territory border between the Phantom and Chimera gangs.
Summary: With a turf war on the horizon, four unlikely friends band together, determined to survive at all costs. This proves easier said than done when enemies arise at every turn. Even in the mirror.

Author's Note: Yes. I am writing a story outside of the Bleach fandom. I checked, and hell hasn't quite frozen over just yet, but it was getting a bit chilly by the time I left.

This is actually a story I've wanted to write for a long time, but I held off because of the length and the depth involved. All of the hype about the anime reboot and the Chimera Ant Arc ending, however, finally gave me the inspiration to just go for it. Finally graduating might have helped a little too. Maybe.

And so, without further ado, I give you the first chapter of Saints and Sinners, a gang war AU starring the fabulous four that I hope you can all enjoy.
