Well... here ya go. It was kinda fun to do these but time consuming... Later!

All stolen from several sources!

OC Meme

1) How you thought of the name.
2) What made you create the character in the first place?
3) How the character has changed over time (if they have changed).
4) Any random fun fact about that character?
-----------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------

Marik Lyles
1) Um. I was in a Yugioh phase (but this was actually a little bit after) and I thought that Marik would be a really cool name. Nothing exciting.
2) Well... he is the son of my first character ever named Blaze (who is going through character rehab right now.) And at the point where he was introduced, it was because I was feeling tired of Blaze and wanted a new character. Marik is a bit more realistic.
3) When he was first introduced, he was cold and a rebel because of his attitude toward his father. But now, he's more friendly and optimistic. And has a sense of humor. And willing to help other. :/
4) He likes pie.

Alexandra Lyles
1) One of the names I wanted to name a prospective daughter (when I wanted kids) was Alexandria. HOWEVER, you'll notice that that name doesn't match up! Why? Because later in my life, I made another character by the same name... In the end, old Alexandria became Alexandra (even though she prefers her nickname Alex) and new Alexandria kept that name.
2) I wanted to introduce Marik with a pair, and out comes Alex.
3) She hasn't really changed--only because she's not a very prominent character nowadays. But she still likes to take care of her little brother.
4) Her father is different from Marik's.

Tai Feiren
1) This is hard... I created this Tai after I created a novel character named Ty because I liked the name Tai from Digimon, and I didn't want to copyright infringe on Digimon for the name Tai, so I did Ty, but then I couldn't have two Ty's. That makes problems (see above)! So, in the end, I had this one named Tai. It was also easier just to have it that short, too.
2) I wanted a egotistical narcissist and when I created Tai... that wasn't his intention, but he ended up working quite well with it.
3) Depends on what Tai you talk about... because there are actually two Tais. CONFUSING RIGHT? No, because the Tai depends on the context of the RP. If it's Angel Tai, he usually stays his dense, 'erfect', sometimes serious self, but if it's Devil Tai, he changes in a negative way, where his devilish side begins to take a prominent role in his life. D:
4) He brought sexy back, twice. He then proceeded to sign an agreement where JT could sing a song about it, since Tai couldn't handle bringing sexy back so many times. He's working on a third time, now.

Kizuka Gelizzo
1) His name went through stages. He was originally a human and I liked the name Nathan, so I had that. Then he turned into a demon and I was so clever so I changed it to Nathanii. But after awhile, that didn't ring well with me. My friend then one day told me some name she made up--Kizuka--and then I stole it from her. Whoops.
2) He was actually made up for a novel, but I liked him so much that I brought his character, a bit skewed in personality, into my role play. Justa calm, down-to-earth fellow who tries to rationally find out the result.
3) He hasn't... well. Kinda. He has been learning to show a bit more emotion. He's still on the roller coaster ride.
4) He is gay.

Keita
1) There was some Jpop/rock singer/duo/band and one of their names was Keita and I liked it enough... so I used it.
2) Why did I make him... well, at first, he was just an extra little piece that I didn't think I would use, but in the end, he was Coren's best friend.
3) Changed? Hmmm.... maybe. He used to be a big jerk and now he's just a jerk...
4) He's the prince of the Snake Demons!

Veronica
1) Another name I really liked when I was younger.
2) She wasn't supposed to be as central as I made her, but I think she only became this central because she was around the age that everyone else was... and because Tai love her and Lily hates her... ;]
3) She has. She's not as much of a bitch as she used to be. XD
4) She is an angel.

Joshua Matthews
1) A lot of these names I just like a lot... again, here is one. I thought it was befitting for a werewolf.
2) I started an RP with some friends and it had to do with werewolves and vampires and so I had to make a new character. And I liked this one a lot so I kept him.
3) Um. He's still relatively new.
4) She is a werewolf.

Sylvia Valentine
1) ANOTHER name I really liked. Haha. I'm so creative with where I get my names. I just like so manyy! D:
2) I don't remember when I created her, but I remember I created a cat demon. And she was discarded for awhile until I picked her up again.
3) Her back story has changed, for sure. She is bipolar, which is a change. Haha.
4) She loves to shop. :/

Kori
1) Once upon a time I was obsessed with Japanese sounding names and then I named characters like that just by random words that sounded cool. This one, however, I used because she is an ice demon and Kori means ice. CLEVER.
2) I added her as a friend of Marik's and as a way to intensify storyline--who would have known that the last survivor of a tribe of ice demons would do that?! Hah...
3) Yeah, she used to be pathetic, but nowadays she can hold herself up pretty well.
4) She is my second youngest character.

Nate
1) I tried doing a realistic RP with no demons and such and he was the result--my only human. Haha. I liked this name because of the same reason why I had a Nathan up there.
2) In my other RPs now... he has no real role right now.
3) No change really...
4) I don't even know why I chose him.

Reading Book Meme

ON TO THE MEME

. So, you can read! Congrats!
Are you reading a book right now? How far are you into it and what do you think so far? If you're not, what was the last book you read and how did you feel about it?

Right now I'm attempting Walden (Thoreau). The only thing that is stopping me is that I'm tired, lazy, and have no motivation. It's my second time reading it, so... and I have other books on a to-read list that I hope to finish before this year is over.

. Do you have a favorite book? Do you have... a book you really liked, at least?

Right now? I'll say Walden or... maybe... Jurassic Park (Crichton)! Good book.

. What would you say is your favorite genre to read? What to tend to steer away from?

Anything... I can stand reading anything so I don't have a specified genre. I just want it relatively exciting.

. Do you read more fiction or non-fiction/information books?

Fiction.

. How about a favorite author, or perhaps a few?

Michael Crichton, Henry David Thoreau, Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Allan Poe, and Mark Twain.

. Have you read any terrible books? Something you'd recommend staying away from?

None that I can think of right off the top of my head...

. Do you reread books, or is once enough? Any exceptions so far?

Yep, I'm reading through Walden again. Read other books more than once, too.

. What were some of your favorite books as a child?

I liked reading Goosebumps and Dahl books. Haha.

. Do you usually pick books from the kids, teen, young adult, or adult books? How old are you, if you don't mind?

Doesn't matter. Lately, I read more classic literature, which is aimed at young adult and above.

. Do you buy books much or mostly just borrow?

I pretty much buy all my books... most of the time. If I go into Barnes and Nobel, I have to have someone keep me from buying a book.

. Have you read any books after seeing them in movie form? Which did you enjoy more?

Yep. Jurassic Park. Loved em both, but the second movie was a bit disappointing (but the first one had two different endings in each adaptation, so...). Besides that... none really. Well, wait! V for Vendetta and Watchmen, too! Even though those are graphic novels... still count em.

. What about reading the book before there was a movie? How did you feel about the movie? Did you even bother seeing it?

Done that with some other Crichton books, like Sphere. The movie was a bit disappointing, but good, I suppose.

. Do you read any other forms of literature aside from novels? Such as graphic novels, comics, (fan fiction???) etc.?

Yeah. I read graphic novels.

. What is a book you want to read, but haven't yet? What intrigues you about it?

Um. Lots. Crime and Punishment by Dosteyevsky, Dracula by Stoker, 1984 by Orwell, (list continues on and on)...

. If you could rewrite the end of one book (or any other part, I suppose), which would you choose? If you were satisfied with every book you read's end, yay.

Can I rewrite the first chapter of Twilight and make Bella somewhat more likable?

. If you can think of one, name a book that made you:

- cry: None have made me cry, but some have made me feel emotionally upset or made me think of sadness... Their Eyes Were Watching God (Hurston) was a very upsetting book.

- laugh: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Twain)........ Yeah, I know. Many of you don't like it. That and Slaughterhouse V (Vonnegut).

- think, in a deeper sense than the obvious: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Joyce) and combine that with Walden (Thoreau) and out comes the individualist names Jacob Swanson.

- feel pure happiness: Dunno :/ I need to read more.

- become so addicted you put off everything in order to finish it: Slaughterhouse V did that for me.

- die of boredom: The first time I read To Kill a Mockingbird (Lee), I did. But the second and third times, I liked it more.

- learn something new: Every single book I read, I learn. Most of the time. Walden makes me learn more about my beliefs since I believe the same things that Thoreau does.

- squirm with squickiness: Dunno....

- squirm with glee: Walden! Right now!

- very embarrassed to be reading it: Twilight.

- angry: Twilight. And the end of Huck Finn.
