Well, it's not entirely things you've done, it's just me sometimes going back as far as ITD to re-read things. It's mainly me wondering if I missed things earlier on (At one point towards the end of TSC, I went back and re-read ITD and TEG to understand something). I can't really point to anything in particular. ODST! 21:58, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

I like your new sig, Varkanax. I it a promotional sig like mine?

They're only modestly successful. Aw well...

I have an idea for a story that I am currently toying with; the idea of racial oppression on a newly reformed Spherus Magan. It will be about how a toa is radically changed by the alienation and oppression that the Glatorian and Agori are receiving. I got the idea from a Che Guevera movie I recently watched. Any opinions?

Regrading Eternal Darkness
Sorry for the belated reply; your message was lost in a sea of other messages. I'm glad to here you like my story idea! And regarding Eternal Darkness, I have not read it yet, but I shall. I am pretty busy at the moment, what with the demands of high school. But you're a nice guy, and a good writer, and I'm sure I will be able to find the time to read it :)

Voting center
Hey man,

I saw you put the Limiter on the voting page for FC. I think that's very nice of you, and I thank you deeply for that but I was wondeing if you could take it down please. Not because I'm not proud to be nominated again, but I also have been voted FU already and I was FC for the past month, so I'm kind of starting to feel like I'm dominating the frontpage, while I want other people to get properly featured too. As we speak now, the FU has me in some way on the frontpage for the fourth time in a row already.

I hope you understand what I mean here. It's not because I'm not glad or overjoyed that you put me up, but more because i strongly feel that everybody desrves a good spotlight and not just me!

Greetz Mate!

I apologize, and I might have made a blog stating that if a character is truly gone for good, I will tell the user. Would you like me to delete the chapter? Again, I am very sorry.

Probably tomorrow or over the weekend. I'll see if I can update a section or two today.  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!   08:48, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

The Prologue and first chapter of Punishment is up. More will come soon, but check what I've written out. There may be some errors, as I haven't proof-read it. XD  Welcome   to   the   Fezpedia!   00:40, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Your word is my command.  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!   00:31, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Since I've done FS (and a fair amount of the Main Page, if I may say so :P), how about you wrap us up by doing Featured creation?  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!   23:23, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

A Need for Info Concerning the Fells
So... yeah. Title says all. ;-)

I need some basic information on the following:
 * 1) The location of the Fells in relation to other major locations in the Xaterex Multiverse. If you could possibly sketch a crude map for me, that would be most helpful.
 * 2) The essential geography and layout of the Fells, as well as a description of terrain.
 * 3) Also, you stated earlier that the Veythari utilize 'scimitars' as their primary melee weapon. I assume you mean a weapon somewhat like the one carried by the mummy warrior in this picture?

In addition, I just wanted to mention that I probably won't be able to get around to reviewing The Final Prophecy. I'm quite busy at the moment, and am, quite honestly, having a hard time forcing myself to write what would be little more than a redundant clone of an earlier story review. Hope you're not too disappointed, but really, it's kinda true: TFP is basically a continuation of the same plot elements and storyline that were introduced in earlier times. The writing has improved slightly, as have the characters. Not much more to say, other than that you did a great job and I enjoyed it immensely.

Thanks in advance for the info. <font face="Samurai"><font color="Black">Toa  <font face="Samurai"><font color="Black">Roden   19:48, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Oh, and yes, I'm planning on beginning Shadowfell very soon; perhaps even in a matter of hours. I'll see how things work out.

P.P.S. So far, you're doing a magnificent job on Eternal Darkness. Just thought you might want to know. ;-)


 * Alright, thanks a lot for the info. The description should do fine in place of a map, so you don't need to worry about that. <font face="Samurai"><font color="Black">Toa  <font face="Samurai"><font color="Black">Roden   22:27, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Xaterex Art Contest
Okay, I'm being impatient, so I figured I'd just post my entries for the artwork contest on your talk page.

Okay, the first one is Saren. I reused the design of a Paladin I did a while ago, so most of his features are hidden. I gave him a massive sword, and also some heavy armor. Also, just for fun, I added some Turian influences to the helmet due to his name. But they're pretty much unnoticeable. I also included my idea of how the Shadows Coil looked. I'm not sure if I remembered it right, though...



Next is Valkyria. I know you wanted military slacks, but I added some light armor that was inspired by the steel armor from Skyrim, just for some combat for protection. I also used a quarian-inspired hood, as the Ix seem to like their hoods. Also, to separate her from being too human, I added some stripes on her chest and forearms, and gave her tetragrade hands.

I'll update them if need be.

Sincerely,

--- Deus  Vult!  23:42, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Here he is, my entry for Saren. I would make a Mass Effect joke, but I never played it. He was in color, but I can't for the life of me figure out my god forsaken scanner. Plus the only color was his glowy yellow head and some silver ink.

Re:Eternal Darkness review
Well, do you honestly think I'd break my record now? ;-)

Yes, I'll definitely be reviewing Eternal Darkness, but I haven't quite finished reading it yet, so it might be a few weeks or so. I can do either a Toa Roden Official Review or an NRC Official Review; your choice. <font face="Samurai"><font color="Black">Toa  <font face="Samurai"><font color="Black">Roden   18:07, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Skype will be impossible. Maybe Mibbit will work.  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!   13:39, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm. Mibbit doesn't appear to be working. Sorry. :/

If you have anything important to say, you'll just have to leave it on my talk page until a good internet connection can be established on all the computers (not this really old one).  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!   13:48, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Collab
Sounds like a good idea. It'd be a good source of publicity for the XMS. Notify me if you get an account, and we can start work on it.

Also, I'm surprised you don't already have a TvTropes account, seeing as how you use some of the tropes in your blogs and the podcast. --- Deus  Vult!  16:14, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Not yet. The current internet is poor, but temporary. Its iffy and has its on and offs (right now is a high-quality "on" moment XD), but it will have to suffice for the next few weeks. In my latest blog (which I deleted after the internet overworked itself and created the blog but did not publish the text), I was saying my activity will temporarily be reduced due to internet issues (until we got a proper connection) and upcoming half-yearly exams at school (next week). But once I get good internet (in about a week or two) I'll be back again (BTW, Slice's been picking up activity quite a bit lately! XD).

Anyway, I hope that kinda explains my predicament. I may be able to get to Mibbit if I'm lucky and if the connection's good.  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!   07:58, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Varkanax, are you going to be on at 9:00 PM tonight (EST, obviously) for a BoT meeting on Mibbit? There's some matters there that must be discussed and all.  Shadow master    (Contribs)   15:02, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I added some tropes I could find to the article (most of which revolve around the Blade of Arcturas). You seem to have already built up quite a foundation already. --- Deus  Vult!  19:40, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

There we go, voted for it.  Shadow master    (Contribs)   16:02, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Shattering review
hey, Varkanax, i wnated to say sorry that i never got the review put up for Shattering, i've been through a busy time in my life and whenever i completed the story i forgot so much about what happened in the beginning so i'd have to re-read it, anyway, i'm sorry about that and i would like to have a review up soon now that i'm back from my inactivity.

Main Page
Hey, Varkanax! Do you think you could do Featured Story as we conclude the well-needed MP update? I have attempted to do it, but I know too little of the story to do it, so I can't write a thorough summary/review XD.  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!   06:14, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Excellent. Look, I'll probably be able to make it, but I need to find privacy and the internet-fixing problems that are going today need to work out.  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!   00:31, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

I'm available on Mibbit for the moment, should you want to wander on a chat. :P  Welcome   to   the   Fezpedia!   12:11, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

XMS Art (Valkyria)
Alright, all three drawings of Valkyria are done, and I'll see what I can't do with Shardak and Fairon.

Well, that's it for now. Onto the next set of characters. --- Deus  Vult!  15:44, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, so I finished a Fairon concept. Here it is.



I tried to add a felling of a being in armor, and added some fabric and clothing to it. I also tried to make him look something like the MOC as well. I was also wondering if the mask should have a black visor over the eyes in some of the other images. Also, should he wear gloves on his hands, or mail (something like the Witch King or Sauron from LotR is the thought I have for the mail).

By the way, I'd also like to draw Vahrikaan. I have a concept in my head for him.

I'll finish the rest of the Fairon stuff and get a Shardak concept done soon.

Oh, and in the three protagonist drawing, should Fairon or Shardak be in the center?

--- Deus  Vult!  01:13, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Due to an inconvenient power outage in my area, as well as some real-life matters that are currently requiring a lot of my free time, I have not yet finished reading Eternal Darkness. (I just finished Chapter 30 the day before yesterday, incidentally.)

Here's the five swords.



Each sword is supposed to look something like its respective element. Fire looks like, well, fire. Water looks like a raindrop. Air looks more like a light, quick striking sabre, and Earth looks bulky and powerful. For time, I tried to make it look like you wanted. In the hilt are four jewels representing the elements that went into the sword. Also, at the ends of the part between the blade and hilt, are carvings that slightly resemble the Vahi.

Sorry this is takings so long. I've been taking a break from Xaterex art and just drawing random stuff. I'll upload the final Fairon later today, and then start the Shardak drawings tonight.

--- Deus  Vult!  19:07, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, here's the latest images, including the last Fairon, the Shadow Orb, and my new Shardak concept. Shardak took four tries to look like he does now...

I'm also thinking about doing a drawing for a Shadows Coil (BTW, finished TSC, and I'm onto The Darkest Light now). Hopefully all of my drawings will be finished by the end of the month.

Also, sorry about having each image as a thumbnail. The darn gallery thing isn't working due to the updates...

Well, I started reading The Final Prophecy a few months ago, but I'm afraid I've gotten caught up in life. :/ I began but got distracted and never really got back to it. But, since then, I have genuinely been meaning to finish reading it. From what I saw in the first few chapters, I remember marvelling at your use of language. Though it was too long ago to remember a lot of the details, I recall admiring the use of setting. Your descriptive language used to create the sordid, run-down settings in particular was very effective.

I realize that doesn't sound like a very strong response and, to be honest, I did get side-tracked from reading it, which is a shame because I know I was enjoying it, but then I went on holiday, then I went back to school, had exams, got a girlfriend... it's all a bit of a mess. :S I'm still trying to sort everything out, especially school. I'm in my senior year and, next year, I go off to university so, as you can imagine, I'm getting a lot of pressure from my outside-wiki life. :/

But that doesn't mean that I don't plan on reading the XMS. I've seen your writing in action and I really do want to read your storyline. Unfortunately, I just haven't had the time to follow through on my promise. :/ I'll try my best to read through it, but it will probably take a while. If you want I could give you chapterly reviews as I progress through? :P
 * Bob The  Doctor  27

...Why do I get the strangest feeling I'm going to regret offering that? XD

Well, perhaps not every chapter, but I do like to give feedback to other writers. :P Words of encouragement and praise go a lot further than refusing to comment, so I'll hopefully be helping a fellow editor. :P

That's very kind, but you don't have to review my story... unless you want to. :P
