dmjewelle4. 4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!
When I was about 12 I had this really awesome idea of how I and my friends were actually POWER RANGERS and we had adventures and conflict and we lost powers and upgraded them every other- no? Ok there was the time I wrote about a girl who venturered into a place called Pumpkin Village and made friends with a girl who looked like Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and they became adopted sis-No? Then the fanfic (and diary series) about how I was Sailor Chibi Mercury and all my friends were Sailor Chibi [Planet] and then there were new characters in new areas- No? The fanfic where me and a classmate were Sailor Senshi-no? How about the story 1000 years after FF7 where there was a nuclear war and 11 characters lost their memories but had their destinies entwined during the war-No? FINE *you* think of a non-corny story then! *storms off*
My first character is a much simpler case - meet Jewelle! *brick*
Back when I was on a real Sailormoon kick my original character was a Sailor Jewel, the granddaughter of Sailor Galaxia (because Galaxia's armour was SO COOL) sent to train (as always). Around 1997 when I was obscenely active in the alt.fan.sailor-moon newsgroup I jumped into the Otaku Wars! as Sailor Jewel, who basically mucked around until I gained more RP sense and became Sailor JeweLLE, changing loyalties faster than you could say HERE COMES A BIG ASS KEY. After a hiatus during SPM and thoroughly enjoying Thousand Arms on the PSX, I reentered the Otaku Wars! as Dark Master Jewelle, becoming less sailor-y, less omnipotent, and armed with more geek culture references (but still no Buffy)! Not too soon after "Dark Master" just got really tiring to type and it got abbreviated but it didn't matter because at the point in the Otaku Wars! I got extracted into my Id, Ego, and Superego and they took the form of DUELLISTS.
The rest is history.
