I'm going to put this picture under the cut because it is the result of my l33t MS-Paint Skillz.

Meaning: It's bad. XD

I came up with this design while I was doing some research for arashi_tenkai's birthday gift. I decided since I had so many Shakti's running around the studio, I figured I'd put them somewhere.

This is just the Tenkai's part for now. I'm still making a craptastic layout for the Rokuryu's share. I know they only have 2 as far as I'm concerned. But I'm still making one anyway! :D

( Craptastic l33t art skillz. )

I should go back to working on Shin's gift now. -deadz-

I am SO dead. XD

( Why don't we just find a pile of broken glass next? )

-runs away to Mexico-

Yes. This is me re-doing Hyena.
No. It isn't the same.

I realize that my version of Hyena is beyond repair. Of course, when I tried fixing it - I just kept adding details, improving things to the point of complicating them somewhat. Then it turned into a full-length, multi-chapter story.

I must be out of my mind.

Yes. I changed the names and I even changed some genders.
But it's to protect us from certain things.


Yeeeeeah. I'm gonna go put my head under the sand now.

1. choose a few of your own characters.
2. make them answer the following questions.
3. feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

Toki
Ryuzu
Krishna
Apollo
Eros
Jia
Rou
Sakiko

The Kingdom of Hell and Underworld stands strong even against the armies of heaven and earth. Under the three rulers of the empire, the King of Hell and God of Chaos, Skye Fiinix. His Queen, Ananda Jia, and the King of the Underworld (Sh'eol), Lucifer. Trouble comes along when another kingdom that is almost just as powerful and threatening as theirs, lead by a god king named Amon and his Queen and minions challenges them to a great war for the purpose "of getting what's rightfully theirs." King Amon claims that he should be a ruler, if not THE ruler of Hell's Empire and he will go through all lengths to get back what is supposedly his. This causes unrest among the dark beings....

Aesir Apocalypse (c) Ryutenkai Studios 2007-2008 Some Rights Reserved.

This is an introduction to Aesir Apocalypse. Another original series.

Well. It wasn't really supposed to be mine. It was an old concept that unleashdragonhad. But the original storyline was bad and kinda OOC on Skye's part, she wanted to thrash it. She DID thrash it.

Then years later, when we confirmed that Skye Fiinix was indeed was a major character in the GH arc, this plotline suddenly came in my head. So, I decided to revamp Aesir.

Main Plot:

The Kingdom of Hell and Underworld stands strong even against the armies of heaven and earth. Under the three rulers of the empire, the King of Hell and God of Chaos, Skye Fiinix. His Queen, Ananda Jia, and the King of the Underworld (Sh'eol), Lucifer. Trouble comes along when another kingdom that is almost just as powerful and threatening as theirs, lead by a god king named Amon and his Queen and minions challenges them to a great war for the purpose "of getting what's rightfully theirs." King Amon claims that he should be a ruler, if not THE ruler of Hell's Empire and he will go through all lengths to get back what is supposedly his. This causes unrest among the dark beings....

Yeah. This isn't really a chapter. Or is it? I'm not entirely sure. Maybe it will be. For now it's Chapter 1/2 of a preview.
Yes, there's another chapter. The last for the preview. The next chapter focuses on Skye. This one is a little Luce-centered.

This is... a new project under RYUTENKAI since the characters aren't entirely mine. Some of them are, but some are from unleashdragon So, it's a joint effort!

Skye Fiinix and this version of Lucifer (c) unleashdragon

Ever After
Theme: Theme Number 61. Fairy Tale.
Rating: G for nothing really. Except for old scars.
Character: Murasaki and Sakiko? Thinking too much again? And a certain... boy they used to love. The other studio's "best"
BGM: Fiona Apple - Paperbag
Notes: Not my best, I'll re-do it when I'm not too lethargic.

( Ever After )

I know it sucks. I'll be better next time. Promise.

Deadly Emerald
Theme: Theme Number 149. Cruel.
Rating: PG-13 for violence.
Character: Dhanistha and Ananda Jia (c) Shikibu Tenkai and the Kami-sama Gari Project (Under Ryutenkai Studios)
BGM: Believe it or not? Brightdown by Nami Tamaki
Notes: Sure the Queen of hell has a best friend~!

Well, here's an OC I never wrote about before until now~!

Dhanistha originally is:

Another Hindu goddess of misfortune, a malevolent nakshatra. She is a daughter of Daksha and consort of Chandra (Soma). (Encyclopedia Mythica).

In GH canon, she is a powerful heretic sorceress who was created by Jia herself during her first rampage when she avenged her fall from heaven. She cast a spell on earth that killed more than a thousand people by using her magic. Hell demons started roaming the earth that day, killing everything in sight. A few powerful demons were also unleashed, cursed to roam the earth for all time. They spread all over the land and across to other lands as well.

After that devastating event, in hell she celebrated with hell beings by blood sacrifices and feasts. Also, she performed a dance (something close to the fan dance, I think?) While she sang and dance, she cast another spell that created a powerful, warrior spirit and mage. Of course it was a dark spirit.

She named it 'Dhanistha' and made it her protector and right-hand. This spirit took a form of a woman. She was the Queen's closest confidant and most loyal servant.

Whispers In The Dark
Theme: Theme Number 11. Memory.
Rating: PG for... stuff? ^^;
Character: Shinigami no Shin Sei and Ananda Layla (c) unleashdragon/Rokuryu Studios; Department 666 and Jigoku 101. (Yes~ She's not mine!)
BGM: Nightmare by SNoW from Jigoku Shoujo OST
Notes: Counterpart to "Waking Dreams". Shin's point of view.



---------

This is supposed to be a counterpart to WAKING DREAMS. My earlier one-shot about Kiria and Freyja. Although this time, it's Shin and Layla.

Shin Sei became Layla's identity when Skye Fiinix hid her from the enemy kingdom out to get her. Ananda Layla is the daughter of Ananda Jia and the next heir to the throne as Queen of Hell. Of course, when Skye hid her away, her memories were erased. Skye had to leave her with a human (a worshiper of his) so she could be safe until he comes back for her.

Shin has no memories of Layla or her family or who she is. Something she and Sakiko have in common.

Waking Dreams
Theme: Theme Number 44. Two Roads
Rating: PG for... blood? o_o
Character: Kiria Fiinix and Freyja Fiinix (c) Shikibu Tenkai Studios
BGM: Jia Ren Qui (Song of the Northern Beauty) from the House of Flying Daggers OST by Zhang Ziyi (I hate her, but I love the song)
Notes: Still under construction, probably a teaser for another GH installment.


I know I have the one-shot challenge to finish and I still got the Chaos Arc to work on. But I had to do it. -shrugs-

This is possibly a teaser for another GH installment. What I mean about that is they might be part of the GH cast. Another installment of this will follow. It's a Shin-Layla oneshot. I still have a lot of tweaking to do with that.

The Beginning, Middle, End I

Theme: Theme Number 55. Waiting.
Rating: G. Nothing harmful here.
Character: Amida Rou, Mirou Eri and Ananda Jia (c) Kamisama Gari Project; Shikibu Tenkai Studios.
BGM: Jia Ren Qui (Song of the Northern Beauty) from the House of Flying Daggers OST by Zhang Ziyi (I hate her, but I love the song)
Notes: Probably fanboi's dream if GH ever got animated. -snerk-


I WISH I COULD DRAW THIS. -headbangs-

No, seriously. This is narrative exercise number two. I used three of my favorites, as usual. ^^

The Queen = Ananda Jia
The Goddess = Amida Rou
The Spirit = Mirou Eri

These three are important deities from GH and its story/cast. If you've noticed the way I wrote the story, it was practicing description and adjectives. I know. It needs help. Please tell me what it needs? Pretty please? I can't help but cringe at a few parts.

And Miles To Go Before I Sleep.
Theme: Theme Number 68. Hero
Rating: PG for certain themes? I dunno. o_o
Character: GH Version of Yama and Doumu (c) Shikibu Tenkai
BGM: Hold Onto Your Friends by Morrissey.
Notes: "But I have promises to keep. And Miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep." -Robert Frost (Stopping by Woods One Snowy Evening)

( And Miles To Go Before I Sleep )

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

-Robert Frost (Stopping By Woods One Snowy Evening)

I was reading this poem and that's what made me write this oneshot about one of my OCs, Yama.

Yes, he's actually based on the Hindu god of death, Yama. This guy.

Yama is the much-feared Hindu god of death who lives in his gloomy palace Kalichi situated somewhere in the nether regions or the Hindu Patala. He is the regent of the Southern quarter of the compass. Yama has a number of attendants to assist him in his many tasks. In his palace he keeps a register called the "Book of Destiny" in which each person's span of life is recorded. This is maintained by one of the god's attendants and the servant is predictably as gloomy of countenance as his master. When a person's span of life is over Yama sends some of his more robust attendants up to earth to haul the person down to his palace. (-Encyclopedia Mythica)

In GH myth, he's the god of the dead - father of the 5 shinigami from ~RagingChaosGod's DEPARTMENT 666.
He is Lucifer's main right-hand guy and bodyguard. Also, he was a former husband of Ananda Jia (he's the actual biological father of Ananda Layla/Shin Sei and Saei Kauran).

He's gonna have his own canon series once I... get it together.
Also, Dou-mu is based on the Dou-mu from actual Chinese myth. Just my version.

Another Reference: It is said that chanting and narrating to Indra, Vishnu or Shiva would drive death away (Hindu Mythology). But here it just doesn't work.

Our Lady of The Damned

Theme: Theme Number 92. All That I Have
Rating: G For Fluff and mush~
Character: Amida Nikki (c) Shikibu Tenkai; GH Version of Lucifer (c) Rokuryu Studios
BGM:  Sarah McLachlan. Sweet Surrender. How perfect.
Notes: Because even a goddess yields to kindness...


Anyway, this is Nikki's POV. Nikki, is the wife of our version of Lucifer. In GH universe, she was supposed to be the heir of the Celestial Goddess, Amida Rou. But she fell in love with Satan and ended up wanting to follow him. So, she did. This is her coming to terms with who she is and what she's supposed to do. And of course, her undying love for Lucifer,

Between Life And Death

Theme: Theme Number 94. Last Hope.
Rating: G For Fluff. -sniffle-
Character: Skye/Toki. Skye (c) Rokuryu Studios. Toki (c) Shikibu Tenkai Studios. Both belong to the Kami-sama Gari Project.
BGM:  Lovers by Kathleen Battle from The House Of Flying Daggers (stupid movie... lovely song. T_T)
Notes: Long overdue. WE NEED MORE SKYE/TOKI LOVE!!! T_T

Yes, this isn't really GH canon. In fact, when this happened, we were still with the other losers and Shin and I weren't dating yet. But we got along the most.

But yes, you know the back story. Everyone has ZOMG ISHOOS and blames them. So, Skye and Toki go crazy and kill themselves, get revived and run away together.

Girl's Love: Commission 02 by ~janlancer on deviantART

As a promise to my friend and former classmate, Jan Lancer. He made this commission for me and he said that his required payment is to be featured in journals of those who requested from him. So, here. I'm posting it here, too.

Yes. The pairing is Sakiko/Shin - Also Layla/Kiria. Depends on what mood my wife and I are in. -laughs-

Thanks, Lancer!
You should go to his account, he has more great stuff there.
