An exercise!
This is basically a writer's introduction thread. But hold on. Let's try something different! As artists, we are to introduce ourselves in a creative way.
The challenge: You are the author of this novel. Now, you are going to introduce one of the major and important characters, which is yourself.
How will you do it, it's all up to you. Be it first, second or third person PoV, write it in the most creative way possible. Make a good (or even fictional!) setting but keep in mind that it's yourself and the things you wanna share about you that you are telling us. The situation, even fictional, must give us at least an idea of who you are or what interests you.
Just an idea I wanna share. Basically, introduce yourself by writing a short scene. :D Be sure it tells us something about you, alright? I'll start. :)
===============
Sirius froze for a moment as he looked at the shadowy being in front of him. He'd seen it ingame before, while playing Ragnarok Online; it was the Doppelganger, the boss underneath Geffen Tower that usually assumed the form of a young swordsman. But for reasons unknown, it currently took the appearance of a blond-haired girl with a tight-fitting, furry outfit. She growled, then charged; Sirius brought up his arms in panic.
Just then, though, a belt materialized around his waist: he recognized it as that of Kamen Rider Decade. Opening the Ride Booker on his left side, Sirius picked out a card and pulled both sides of the buckle. The centerpiece, called the DecaDriver, then flipped vertically. He then insterted the card into the slot.
KamenRide: Decade
The DecaDriver emitted sounds as the youth pushed both sides of the buckle toward it, causing it to return to its horizontal state. A flash of light later, Sirius was clad in a black-and-pink armor with green eyepieces and black-and-white accents all over his body. Almost immediately he blocked the Doppelganger's side kick and countered with his own, sending flying a few feet backwards; it landed on its feet.
It then assumed the form of a tall man with long, platinum hair, wearing a dark shirt with an open top under a long, black trenchcoat. He brandished his nodachi, the Masamune, as he prepared to attack. With that, Sirius pulled out another card from his Ride Booker, inserting it into the DecaDriver.
KamenRide: Ryuki
The demon then charged Sirius, who had assumed Ryuki's form, with a high-speed barrage of sword strikes and combos that left him with little opportunity to counter. Sirius pulled out another card, which turned out to be:
AttackRide: Strike Vent
But even after summoning his Drag Claw, an arm-mounted flamethrower, he was still getting pounded by the Doppelganger. An Omnislash later, Sirius was forced back into Decade's form as the demon took another: that of a chestnut-haired woman wearing a white top and a checkered miniskirt. It held a pair of submachine guns in its hands while a rocket launcher could be seen on its back.
KamenRide: Faiz
AttackRide: Autovajin
The problem was, Faiz was no more equipped for long range combat than Ryuki. Not only was Sirius being torn apart by the gunslinger girl, the hail of bullets was proving to be a problem for his Autovajin (a combat robot that usually took the form of a motorbike) as well. And with a well-placed rocket, he was again returned to his Decade form.
Meanwhile, the demon underwent yet another form change: an orange, nine-tailed fox that charged him in a berserk rage. In response, Sirius pulled out yet another card in desperation...
KamenRide: Kabuto
AttackRide: Clock Up
But though the skillful use of Clock Up allowed Decade-as-Kabuto to outmaneuver and out-duel the fox at first, it managed to completely match Sirius in terms of speed, and severely outstrip him in terms of strength. An almightly blow from its nine tails forced Sirius back to Decade form as the Doppelganger itself reverted to its earlier Druid/Beastmaster/Berserker form. She then roared as she went berserk, her movements becoming more aggressive and unpredictable.
If copying other Riders' powers won't work, Sirius thought, Guess that leaves me with my own. After coming to this realization, he pulled out another card; not a KamenRide card, but an AttackRide.
AttackRide: Illusion
Two copies of Decade appeared beside him, each wielding a Ride Booker in Sword mode like him. They then proceeded to assault the Doppelganger, who soon fell to the combined efforts of Sirius and his clones. And as the clones disappeared, he jumped back and pulled out one last card.
Final AttackRide: Decade
Golden cards appeared in the air, aligning themselves downward at the Doppelganger. Sirius then kicked through each of them until he hit the demon, destroying it.
And reverting after a flick of his wrist, Sirius left the burned remains of the demon on the ground. He just learned an important lesson...
((For those who haven't played Ragnarok Online, Doppelganger is a boss in one of the dungeons. It looks like the Swordsman player character, so those who haven't seen it before usually come near it and get a painful surprise. ><))
