Magnus, an angel?!?!?!? Well, maybe only in Raven's mind, lol! Magnus is more like a cross between an angel and a devil. Good and savior to the innocent, pure badass death god to those of evil.

He's like a more dangerous mixture of Decade Fury Form's emotion mixed with Yusuke's kind heartedness and Kenzaki's sense of loyalty. though, he does tend to be a smart ass.

Let's see....nicknames.

Creation's Ender (we already know this one)

Dark Destroyer

Cursed One

Poker Guy (Beast Boy's funny nickname for him due to Magnus being a card based Rider)

Bug Eyes (refered to by most villains)

13th Magnus

Accursed Angel (Raven's little SECRET pet name for Alex after she learns of his identity as Magnus and comes to terms with it)

[spectre555]

Hmm,can i assume Magnus is the Rider of Destruction?

Since he is Creation's Ender after all.

I was thinking Decade in the battle chap refers to him as that.

Just as how Decade and the Tartarus Empire designate names to represent the Kamen Riders they encountered based on distinctive features of the rider.

Cosmos would be called the Rider of Space.

A.N.T would be the Rider of Matter.

Kero would be the Rider of Skill.

K, another question.This is related about fanfics.

You know, i noticed as we gain more experience about entertainment and time goes on and brings us more stuff,more better ideas and options appear in our minds when creating our fics.

But i wonder sometimes,when and what would it take to actually be able to accomplish them.

Do you wonder about this sometimes?

[Toku Warrior]

Not all the time. Sometimes yes but for most of my fanfics I just let my imagination flow free and write out what it comes up with. Then I refine those ideas and then put them to a rough version. Then i just do a little fine tunning and then it's done.

But sometimes it does take more to accomplish and fully finish a fanfic. Sometimes it's hard to tell what is needed.

To your previous post:

Shadow - Rider of Darkness

Neos - Rider of the Elements

Ghoul - Rider of Destiny

Magnus - Rider of Destruction/Salvation

Z - Rider of the Spirit of Man

Xceed - Rider of Fate

Kyuubi - Rider of the Rift

Magi - Rider of Sorcery

Advent - Rider of the Gods

Jouga - Rider of Honor/Nightmares

Akuma - Rider of Demons

Dark Rider - Rider of Power

Omni-Rider - Rider of the Apocalypse

Hopper - Rider of Evolution

Exodus - Rider of Bonds

[spectre555]

By the way, i noticed most of your riders are magical or supernatural.

Is it a kind of preference?

[Toku Warrior]

Basically.

I guess you could say that out of those.....Hopper, Z, Xceed and Neos are the only ones that don't fit that category.

Z is the Kaizou Ningen of the group.

Neos is the evolutionary warrior.

Xceed is the Tech using Rider of the future (sorta based on Faiz and Kabuto for that part).

Hopper is an alien form in Ben's Ultimatrix that can form change into more powerful forms (4 forms total).

[Toku Warrior]

Okay, so what have I been up to?

Well, I'm currently starting back up all the drawing and art requests I've built up (Kenji, yours is first on my list so don't worry). I'm also working on a collage project for one of my fanfics, making a wallpaper for my Ben 10 Forever series. I'm drawing all 7 images separately so that it makes things easier.

I'm also working on the new renditions of my Guyver character designs for both my Quantum Guyvers, Astral Guyver and BK's Advent Guyver. This is due to the fact that we're reviving the old Guyver RP into a fanfic....sorta. We'll be combining elements from my old Quantum Guyver fanfic and his characters from the RP as well and joining them together. It's a co-op fanfic project that we've spent months preparing. We've gone over many details, character bios, forms, enemies, Zoanoids, Guyvers, etc...and we're nearly complete.

Soon we can start the fanfic. It's going to be long but we have all of the arc pretty much planned out in a skeleton format so we can add in the details from there.

I'm also now starting to buy CD's from Japan, to help support the artists that make the songs. I have both of the cd's from the Japanese version of KRDK and I also have the Album Single of Kamen Rider Skull's theme, Nobody's Perfect. Today, I ordered the Album Single, Change, by Miwa. The song, Change, is also the current OP theme song for the anime Bleach.

I figure, if I'm going to DL the stuff I can also spend some money and support the wonderful artists. You know, put in some of my own contribution towards them.

Of course, I will still buy small things here and there but now, starting this upcoming payday, I will be saving money as much as possible. I'm trying to have money to buy a plane ticket so I can go see my dad in San Diego, California. I just need to talk to him to see when he'd like me to visit. I want to do this as I've built up 2 full weeks of paid vacation time at work. Sad thing is, if I don't use the vacation by years end it doesn't roll over into next year. I'd loose that vacation time. So I want to use a week of it to go see my dad and save the other week as sick day leave or for when I want to go out of town.

Umm...that's about it for me right now.

[Toku Warrior]

Okay, a quick update. My progress with the Kamen Rider W tribute music video is coming along nicely but it will take somewhat longer than I expected. Finding the right scenes is a pain the butt.

I'm also putting my fanfic's on hold until I can complete my drawing projects.

So far I have these drawings to finish up:

Dark Quantum Guyver

White Quantum Guyver

Astral Guyver

Demi-Lord Tanaka

Koujin (DQG)

Shiori (WQG)

Collin (AG)

Ileana and her Ancient Zoalady form

Sasuke and his Ancient Zoalord form

Guyver V (touch ups and colouring)

Kamen Rider Magnus True Emotion form

Kamen Rider Xceed

Ben 10 Forever Collage (taking my time on this one)

That's about it with those ATM. Other than that, nothing else to report.

[Toku Warrior]

Well, so much for putting my fan-fics on hold.

I'm still doing my drawings but I'm also limiting myself to 5 stories at a time for fanfic writing capacity. This way i don't stretch myself out too much on those series.

The stories I'll be working on are:

Kamen Rider Shadow

Ben 10 Forever

Kabuto EX

Quantum Guyver Reborn

Kamen Rider Magnus

I'll also be working on these few fanfics slowly on the side once in a blue moon just to get them going:

Kamen Rider Jouga

Pocket Monster Indigo Academy

Rosario + Blade

Kamen Rider Youki

Kamen Rider Ghoul

This way I can focus heavily on those 1st 5 stories while taking my time on those other 5. Then once the 1st 5 are fully completed I can shift the other 5 into full focus while selecting another 5 from my list as side burner stories.

And I finally got CH.3 of KR Shadow up and posted over at FF.net after taking nearly two years writing that chapter alone. Severe writers block on that story I tell ya.

I'm still working night shift at my job but it's not as bad as it was. With Winter slowly closing in and school back in session we're not as busy at night anymore except on grocery night.

Oh, I'll also be saving money up for a plane ticket cuz I'm going to heading over to the west coast and visit my dad in San Diego, California around Christmas time. Haven't seen my dad in a couple of years now and it'll be the first time I'll have been to the west coast of the U.S. I'll be trying to leave on Dec.20th and arrive back home here in Florida on Dec.28th. A full 9 day vacation from work (5 of those days which will be paid vacation, heh heh).

Well, now to get back to projects. I need to get Guyver V outlined and colored in for Kenji and then I'll be working on drawings for the Dark Quantum Guyver and Ultimate Benwolf for my Ben 10 Forever fanfic.

Speaking of fanfics, I'll also be getting back to finishing up CH.4 for Kabuto EX and CH.9 of B10F so I can get those posted.

Until then, ja ne.

[Toku Warrior]

This will be my last blog update before I leave on Monday seeing as I may not log on again until I get back. I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures of my vacation and post them here.

My mom and step-dad celebrated x-mas with me early as I leave before the official holiday. They got me a new digital camera, a Nikon 12 mega pixel. I'll be using that a lot.

I'm charging up all the batteries I have for my PSP, DS, camera, portable DVD player and Cell phone for my take off. Luckily, I have two batteries for the PSP.

Camera - pictures of course

DS - games

DVD Player - movies

Cell phone - you know why

PSP - music

I'm also taking the few gifts I got my family in Cali with me as well. My carry on should be just under the 40 lbs limit. I'll also be taking a drawing pad and a USB device with my music video projects for my step-mom to see as she loves to see my latest works.

As for my fanfics, the joint project between my and BK for the Quantum Guyver Rebirth! series will be getting a chapter 2 written out sometime after I get back. I'll be writing out plot points while I'm gone though so it makes it easier on me. Kamen Rider Magnus, Kabuto EX and Ben 10 Forever should have their next chapters released once I get back as well.

So it will be.....

Quantum Guyver Rebirth! CH.2

Kamen Rider Magnus CH.2

Kabuto EX CH.4

Ben 10 Forever CH.11

Once those are done QGR 2 will be sent to BK for editing and then it will be posted in the QGR thread.

Now, as many of you know, I'm also having car trouble. My entire coolant system is going to need to be replaced once I get home. It could cost me anywhere between $600-$900 to get it all fixed. That's the:

Upper Coolant Pipe

Lower Coolant Pipe

4 Coolant Connector Hoses

Hose Clamps

Radiator Hoses

Thermostat

Coolant and Anti-freeze added

A Coolant Flush and Descale on the Coolant tank

Include those parts, procedures and labor and it'll cost me a pretty penny. But, hey, I need my car to get around and I'm possibly considering getting a new or used car in the next year or two. Hopefully, if it's a new car, either a Kia Soul or a Ford Fiesta.

Well, until I get back I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah to any of our members that are Jewish and, if we have any atheists among us, a very nice day. To those traveling as well, safe travels and drive/fly safely.

Merry Christmas Japan-Legend and Happy New Year. Here's to a hopeful enjoying year of anime, games, tokusatsu (Goukaiger...you better be worth it), music and life. Cheers, Kompai....you know the drill. Ja ne, mina!

[*Jess♥]

well then, have a merry xmas dude, I hope you have a really good time.

I hope i get to see some pictures too

[Toku Warrior]

Hey guys, I'm slowly starting to create my own forum but it's still far from finished. Though, in case people are interested in taking a peek.....

http://hyperium.forumotion.com/

[Toku Warrior]

Hey guys, been awhile since I last updated this thing. so let's see....

1 - I took a break from my own personal fanfics to work on the Kamen Rider Ichigo dedication art for Japan's survivors. you can find it in the imagery section.

2 - I'm thinking of writing a small 1 chapter fanfic which would have many toku series cross over with one another. It would be used as a dedication story for the survivors and those lost in the Earthquake and Tsunami. It would feature the following people from these following series:

Kamen Rider OOO

Eiji

Ankh

Hina

Gotou

Date

Kamen Rider W

Shoutarou

Terui

Philip

Akiko

Kamen Rider Den-O

Ryoutarou

Momo

Kin

Ura

Ryuu

Sieg

Kotarou

Teddy

Sakurai

Deneb

Kohana

Kamen Rider J

Kamen Rider ZO

Kamen Rider

Ichigo

Nigo

V3

Ultraman Mebius

Himitsu Sentai GoRanger - 5 Rangers

Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive - 5 Rangers

Tokusou Sentai DekaRanger - 10 Rangers

Tensou Sentai Goseiger - 6 Rangers

Aka Red

GARO

It will be a long 1-shot fanfic with over 16 different Kamen Riders, 1 Ultraman and 4 Sentai teams consisting of over 27 Rangers. That's a lot of characters to write about. 44 characters in all.

I chose the heroes I was both more familiar with and ones that may be more iconic to the Japanese people and the fans of the genre.

The main leaders of all 4 franchises will be OOO, Ichigo, Aka Ranger, DekaMaster and Aka Red. GARO and Mebius come in as aid and allies to these teams and do what they feel is best while working with the other heroes.

3 - I will be in A LOT of pain this upcoming Tuesday, March 22nd. I have, surprisingly, 7 cavities that I need to get fillings for and that's gonna cost me a pretty penny. Luckily, none of the cavities cause me pain so they're no where near any or the nerves in my teeth. It'll be an hour-n-half long procedure.

that's about it.

[Toku Warrior]

Hey guys, just had my dental work done today. 7 Cavities got drilled and filled and now 3/4's of my mouth is completely numb. I have to take extra precaution so that I don't bite my own tongue, that's how numb my mouth is.

Heck, just to work on one tooth they had to inject me on that one side with 3 shots of Novocaine. My mouth will be sore for the next couple of days which means only soft foods so as i don't hurt myself.

Operation took about close to 2 hours.

On the brighter side of things, I will be starting my fanfics back up (yes BK, this means DQG CH.2 as well) sometime today or tomorrow so at least that's a good thing. Well, I'm off to get back to relaxing. I really don't want to do much today around the house.

[ErutanXiku]

Ouch, hope you feel better...7 cavities?! The most I've had is a receding gum line, because apparently I brush too hard and I had that sorted out Autumn last year. I've got a few precautionary fillings though, from when I was younger, to do with preventing cavities from developing...

I have had 4 teeth removed - all pre-molars - for when I had braces, and I remember those extractions being pretty painful on my right side, even with 4 shots of anaesthetic! I kept those teeth, though I'm not sure where they ended up since we moved house like 3 times since then...I'm sure they're around somewhere...

[Toku Warrior]

Yeah, I can understand that.

My teeth don't hurt though. It's just my jaw muscles and the hinge joint for my jaw due to the drilling of the teeth and the constant time of having to keep my mouth open.

I took an hour long nap about 30 minutes after my last entry and when i woke up my mouth felt fine with no numbness at all but with some slight soreness. Now I have to go back tomorrow for a cleaning and then I'll be good for the next 6 months.

[ErutanXiku]

Is that for a routine check-up in 6 months? I can't remember if I was meant to book a follow-up, or just go back if there were any problems regarding the treatment for my gum line...perhaps I should make a call to my dentist at some point and ask :/

I had to go to three dentists for their opinions regarding a gap in my gum - the receding gum line was an easy fix - which is caused by the shape of my tooth and should go back to normal once it fully erupts. It's a long-ish story, but in the end I went to my childhood dentist (since I haven't been to one in about 12 years) and they, surprisingly, still had my records. They were impressed to know that I still had good teeth and that I've been taking good care of them...I just need to be more gentle

I'm a little nervous these days about keeping my mouth open for the dentist, since my jaw tends to lock after a while - which happened during the treatment last year and I almost panicked. That can't be good in the long run, since over the years I've developed the ability to crack my jaw and if I eat something that requires chewing my jaw pops, much to my brother's discomfort. His reaction is so cute though...but I shouldn't overdo it.

[spectre555]

well,you know what's happening with us these days TW.

But you can still ask me for inspiration for ur fics,i might know something that could help.

[Toku Warrior]

True.

Well, usually a come back appointment is somewhere between 6 months to a year after the first initial one.

Spectre, I know, why do you think I keep discussing Decade with you? The talks help develop most of my Riders. but right now I need to put some of my creative writing towards X's & OOO and to Quantum Guyver Rebirth!.

[Toku Warrior]

Okay, I am now ubber pissed!

My step-dad originally had a device called a Zune synced with my computer. But then when he asked me to delete his playlist so he could re-sync it with his and my mom's new laptop, we did.

Up side, now his Zune is off my computer.

Down side (and what's really pissed me off!!!) is now over 3/4's of my music collection on my computer are now gone!!! That's over 19,000 tracks!!!!!

So far I've only been able to record the file names of anime tracks that I need to re-acquire but that's just the anime songs (going from A-Z). I still have soundtracks, rock-n-roll, country, japanese artists, so on and so forth....

It's gonna take me a whole week to relocate most of them. My only joy in this was that none of my Tokusatsu music got deleted.

Damn, now my week is going to be a busy one in front of the computer.

[Toku Warrior]

okay, here how it is ATM. Some of the songs from my 'Rock~n~Roll' folder are gone but the ones missing are actually on my PSP so those are saved...well, single tracks anyway. I am missing a few whole albums that I need to acquire once more.

So far these are the groups that I'm missing.

that's the first half...2nd half in next post.

Edit, as you can see I was able to get some of it back. I'll be spacing it out over the course of the next week alongside my other projects so I should be done by the end of the week. It also turns out that I lost my albums for the Spider-Man movie OST and the Dragonball Evolution OST. Can't get them back either due to heavy CR but I don't mind. I didn't like the DB Evo OST that much anyway and I have my favorite song from the Spidey OST on my PSP so that's all good.

All of my other folders for different song types were affected but i was able to re-establish them on my computer as i actually had those ones on back-up on my oldest EX harddrive. Those anime titles...not so much. A few though, I just need to relocate them.

EDIT - EDIT ~ As of now, everything on this post has been reacquired with the exception of two or three series/artist/group albums. Not too worried though.

Edited March 29, 2011 by Toku Warrior

[Toku Warrior]

Alright, I have about 50% of my missing song files back. Just another 50% to go.

[Toku Warrior]

Yes!!

I now have over 95% of my music back. A few I won't be able to get back either by torrent decay, unavailability online, CR issues on releases and such.

I don't mind purchasing the music if need be. If I could, I would purchase the CD's of all the music I have on my computer just to help support the artists, series and such. Though, income is a different story to that matter.

But, mainly the ones i couldn't get back are just ones I didn't really want or just didn't listen to. The exception to that is the OST to the Powerpuff Girlz anime. I actually liked that OST and now all torrents and available downloads are dead. But, oh well. I can make do without it.

Now that my music crisis is over it's back to other reporting.

CH.2 for Quantum Guyver Rebirth is now being written along side Ch.13 of Ben 10 Forever and Ch.1 of my newest Rider x-over series, X's & OOO.

Also, did anyone else find Eps.27 of OOO really hilarious? Well, those who watched it RAW anyway.

[Toku Warrior]

Man, did I ever have the scare of my life this past Friday night/Saturday morning at work. As everyone here knows...(well, almost everyone)...I work the night shift at a store. Well, we have a small pipe leak which ruined one of our ceiling tiles so we took the tile down and placed a bucket under it to catch any water droplets.

Well, you should all know that our store has had the occasional insect problem one in a rare blue moon; be it ants, moths, dragonfly's, roaches (never any of the big ones thank god) and the occasional spider or two.

Well, on Friday and Saturday nights I work the cooler in the back and stock up all the dairy, sports drinks and beer and the light bulb blew out. So, I went out into the main front of the store and took a light bulb 2-pack off the shelf and wrote it off for store use. Now here's where the scary thing happened. I've seen many poisonous and deadly insects before but never had one actually on my body what so ever....unless you count the time when I was 12 and I stepped on a Black Widow and wiped my shoe off on my pant leg; damn thing was sitting on a swing bench in my friends backyard when we we're with the squirt guns that day....so I really got the shock of my life when I was going back to the counter to write of the light bulbs.

As i went back to the counter I passed under the open ceiling space where the tile was removed from. Now bear in mind that I was not alone at the store as I had a fellow employee and about 2-3 customers in the store at the same time. I felt something brush across the right side of my neck and, upon habitual instinct, I swiped my hand across my neck. I do this if I have a hair strand of a lone spider web brush across me. I live in Florida so the spider web thing is common enough.

I then looked down at my name tag, another habitual trait of mine when I brush something off is to look down at the floor to see what it was. Well, I about had a freaking heart attack when I noticed a full grown adult Brown Recluse spider crawling across my lapel and just next to my name tag. I practically shouted at the top of my lungs and jumped in the air while knocking it off my shirt. They usually grow to be about 6–20 mm (¹⁄₄ in and ³⁄₄ in) in size but they can get bigger and this one was pretty big. Everyone looked at my in shock and I was even shouting out a few vulgarities here and there. I was really freaked out. So much so that I went to the bathroom in the back and took of my shirt and shook it out so as to make sure that it was off. I then check my neck and chest to make sure I was wasn't bitten as well.

Brown Recluse

The reason I checked is that, due to living in Florida, we are subjected to a fair few venomous spiders in our parts. Mainly Black Widows, Brown Widows, Brown Recluses and Wolf Spiders...and your common house and garden spiders. So I made it an important "What to know about" when I first moved down to this state of what Spiders live here and how their bites effect people. What scared me about the Recluse is that their bites are not painful and you really won't know that your bitten until about an hour later when the bite area gains a red color and a burning sensation. Though, not very lethal to an adult human, they can kill small kids and infants. They also posses a hemotoxic venom which eats away at skin and muscle tissue. But, luckily for me, I wasn't bitten.

My fellow co-worker, Pete, and the customers in the store asked me if I was ok and asked what happened. When I explained it Pete nearly paled a bit as I then made him jumpy and the few customers we had didn't think bad of the experience. They all said they've come across a Recluse or two themselves over the past couple years. Heck, the last time I saw a Recluse was over two years ago...about around my 4th or 5th month at the store. i was covering for someone during the day shift and I was tending to a customer. I had my hand on the side counter near the calculator and register clerk sheet and I happen to look over and noticed a Recluse walk pass my hand and over to the wall behind the cigarette rack. That damn thing scared both me and the customer I was attending to.

Recluse Area Map

The map above shows their main habitats though they can be found all over the U.S. But they don't 'Balloon' like other spiders do. That's where they use a few strands of webbing to sail through the air on an air current. They, instead choose to hitchhike.
