User:LapisScarab

To keep my user talk page less cluttered, I am now taking requests for talk bubbles here, at the bottom of the page. There are also several sample bubbles on said page. I am severely depressed right now, for a multitude of reasons I don't feel like going into here. I don't know if this will result in me taking a wiki-break or make me edit even more to cheer myself up, since I genuinely enjoy working here. I just don't feel like doing much right now, so my activity may slow. Just letting you all know.

This is my signature when I feel that my talk bubble is not needed, or I just don't feel like typing it.-- Lapis of the Night  07:09, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hey everyone, I'm LapisScarab (I know, weird name, don't ask)! While I obviously love the Kingdom Hearts series, my intrests are as far apart as you can imagine. As such, you can find me on several other Wikias, like the Bleach, Naruto, Zelda, and Deltora Wikis to name a few. My favorite part of the series is Organization XIII, for their uniqueness and diversity (plus, I've always liked antagonists). Eventually I hope to become a fantasy-fiction author, and I've been working on an original story since the beginning of last year. To my eternal frustration, my keyboard often skips letters when I'm typing quickly. I have 3 siblings: an older sister (by 5 years), a younger sister (a little over 1 year), and a little brother (5 years).

Appearance
I'm very tall, with blue-grey eyes and brown (my parents swear that it's dirty blond, I have no idea why) hair. I'm thin and stronger than I look (especially since my arms are basically twigs -.-). I'm very near-sighted, and wear contacts. My typical attire is some sort of T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt (I hate button-down shirts for some reason), usually a monochromatic color or a dark shade of other colors. I always wear pant, n matter what season it is, either jeans or basket ball pants. During winter I usually wear a hoodie or a grey Nordstrom jacket. I only ever really wear four different shirts, but my parents fail to understand why (I just don't see any reason to get more than I'll wear). I also have very, very faint freckles.

Personality
I'm rather introverted, meaning I will almost never start a conversation and will choose solitude if left to my own devices, but I genuinely enjoy it when people talk to me and usually end up having fun when I go out. I'd like to say that I'm a "go with the flow" type of person, but really it's more like "whatever". I haven't truly stressed about anything in a very long time, because, to me, nothing is ever big enough to worry over. When I'm surrounded by people I don't know, I'm usually pretty stoic and very quiet. I'm an excellent speaker according to my teachers and parents, but I'm more of a listener personality-wise, and I'm polite almost to a fault (for example, I cannot bring myself to interrupt someone speaking, even if it means I have to wait for a long time, or I will hold the door for basically everyone behind me, no matter how long the line is). I live by altruism and love helping people. I work very quickly and very hard when I feel like someone is depending on me. I don't have a great deal of self-confidence, and I always give credit where credit is due. I'm smart and a quick learner, so I have literally never studied for a single test since first grade, but still have B(+) average. It would be an A, but I am admittedly a bit of a slacker when it comes to homework. I'm not especially good at talking to people over the phone, so even though I have a cell, I tend to forget it, keep it off, and/or only take it when I need it. I'm often bored by my surroundings and when I get depressed I tend to revert to a nihilistic way of thinking.

Hobbies
Like I mentioned above, I like to write, draw, and read. I'm a surprisingly good artist considering I've never taken a class, but I only practice drawing so I can draw the characters from my stories. I love doing brain teasers, word puzzles, and jigsaws. I also like to do origami, and I spend about half the time in most of my classes drawing or folding something, since I usually know what's going on already (I know when to pay attention though). I've played several sports in the past, like soccer, baseball, basketball, and tennis, though I only play basketball and tennis now, and even then I only play recreationally. I'm actually quite good at both of them. I am also a big fan of manga and anime, and I occasionally click the "surprise me" option on onemanga.com and read a new manga just for the heck of it. I read a lot of it with a rather critical eye, though I never really find myself disappointed with anything.

Character Appearance Sections
My forte is description, so my main goal is to get up an Appearance section for all of the characters that don't have them, as per the new character page improvement project. NinjaSheik got me started on this with Aqua, Ven, Terra, and Organization XIII, so I decided to roll with it.

Completed
Okay here's a list of the sections I have completed:
 * Organization XII Weapons (technically doesn't count, as the original page has been divided, but these were among my first edits to the wiki and the descriptions are still used).

Here is a list of those that I will NOT be doing soon, and the reason why. They may change later, but for the time being, this is it:


 * Deep Space characters (Grand Councilwoman): Just waiting for a full-body picture of the Councilwoman.

Not involved with
This has been a long time coming. I always try to give credit where credit is due, but the most I can do right now is give a list of the sections that I had virtually nothing to do with, since, with one exception, I have no idea who did them.

 * Kairi (same as Sora)
 * Pongo and Perdita

Weapon Design Sections
'NOTE: Any weapons that are in bold need images. All weapons in italics need better images (the ones on now are too blurry to work with)' (weapons that are both bolded and italicized are that way because they have concept art, but not an actual in-game picture)

I have recently been given a side-project by Xion4Ever; to do the appearance sections for all of the series' weapons. I will probably be doing these along with the smaller character appearance sections on weekdays, and save larger appearance sections for weekends or homework-free days. I will not have a "to be done soon" list, since I just sort of pick which ones I do at random. I am going to hold off on the BBS Keyblades until higher-quality pictures come out of all of them. Here is (what I hope is) a complete list:

Completed
Appearance sections I have completed:
 * Sword of the Ancestor
 * Scimitar/Sword

My Views on the Kingdom Hearts Games

 * Kingdom Hearts: I haven't actually finished this game as of yet, but it's pretty good from what I've seen. I don't like the controls very much and Sora's voice annoys the heck out of me, but it has a number of hidden bosses, as opposed to the other games in the series having few to none of them. A good game overall.
 * Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories:I don't have the Gameboy version of this game, only the remake. I am about half done with Riku's story. The card system, of course, was wierd and rather difficult to get used to at first, but it wasn't that bad. The biggest thing this game has going for it is introducing the single most awsome thing about the series: Organization XIII. It may be my least favorite KH game, but it's still a great game.
 * Kingdom Hearts II: This was the first game I got for the series and it is by far my favorite. It has the best story, controls, music, voicing, and characters in the series so far, though it doesn't have nearly as many bonus bosses as the original (A GIGANTIC reason as to why I want Final Mix released in America. I can't afford a whole new PlayStation just for that). Organization XIII is back in all its unique, diverse, and plainly awesome glory, introducing most of my favorite members (except Zexion. Curse you Rikuuuuuuu!). Really there's notmuch else to say. It improved greatly on the original game, and is currently my favorite, only threatened by Birth By Sleep (the title will only remain yours, KHII, if Final Mix is released here. Hurry!).
 * Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: This one ranks between KHII and Re:CoM (haven't really ranked KH yet). The story takes some time to get going, and it introduces some of the most annoying enemies in the game. You have no idea how frustrating it is to get a Pink Concerto down to a sliver of health using 90% of your attack magic, only for it to vanish and respawn at full health. Or to try and keep the heart chain going while trying to hit a Sapphire Elegy while getting teleported around by a Grey Caprice. I hate a lot of the new Heartless. A lot. But the game itself is very fun, even with that, and it was very interesting once the story got going. The cutscenes are really cool, but I wish there were more of them. They wasted getting the Organization members' voice actors by only having five of them really talk. And, of course, the complete lack of Final Fantasy characters is another mark against it. Despite all that, 358/2 Days was very fun and I am glad I got it.
 * Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: I know it's wierd putting an unreleased game here, but this game looks incredible. I have never been excited about a game being realeased until now. The whole feel of BBS is different than the rest of the series. Even the theme has this kind of tragic feel to it. The controls seemingly take after KHII, which is another plus. Really it looks like a console game, an advantage of the PSP, with all of the voice acting. It'll reveal most of the biggest mysteries in the series, and it has the original beings of half the Organization in it. I am buying a PSP, a system I orignially had very little interest in, almost entierly to play this game (I'm getting others too of course, like Dissidia and Crisis Core. I'm not that excited). This is the only game that threatens KHII as my favorite, and I seriously wondered about reading spoilers (I realized that since an English release date hadn't even been set, I would prefer to not be out of the loop too long).
