If you have a request for a Bird Style, simply tell me what you fav bird is and some general details of your self and the cut of the costume you'd like (Skirt, shorts, bikini, tights, bikini top, halter, boots, gloves) then I will draw you in Bird Style! We all love the original team but now you can join Gatchaman 2010 as a new member!!! Best of all it's free!

Hooray! He's back! Hey newbies- this is your chance to have him make you into a birdie! I had TB make me into the "Dove"...and I love it! Hey TB, could you make my girl civvie-style, but in something sassy and green for St. Patrick's day?

Hey, TB - I'd love to update my own style and sign on as a crewmember! (may have to get permission from Ste.... Animeflower

Animeflower

) You did me as a Mynah Bird - got a completely new look since then! I'd like to stay as the Mynah Bird - but can you update the style to more like the OAV Jun? Also attached is an updated pic of me (yes - I have a fringe now but it doesnt show that my hair actually ringlets...) and currently my hair is dark purple. Are you able to do one with helmt and one without??

Becky Rock Gatchamaniac posted 7 Mar 2010 13:47

Hi Thuderbird! This is an opportunity I can't pass up. I would chose a Blue Jay, using shades of blue and white. No freeshow skirt for me - I'd prefer a birdstyle like the guys. Personally, I have short med brown hair and blue eyes. I've been trying to include a pic of myself from my HP Photosmart, but it won't let me paste it here.

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 7 Mar 2010 21:21

Yes often I will do a head shot with the helmet and a 3/4 body without. If that suits you. NP with OAV style and no problem with a full body suit version. If you think of any other details you like included let me know...weapons, pose, whaever. I will work on them tomorrow. hopefully have a Blue Jay and Mynah Bird ready....maybe some Gatcha-smut...let's see how my day goes. Thanks for the interest and your excitemnt. It makes drawing more fun for me.

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 7 Mar 2010 21:23

Springie....as for sassy what are you looking for? Summer dress kinda thing, hip hugger jeans....what do you consider sassy? Pity me I'm a man...fashion challenged I suppose..LOL

It's great to see you around here again, TB! I've had a lot of fun creating different avatars with my Gatch self, the Raven, that you drew for me. I can't wait to see what you design for other Gatchamaniacs!

gatchamarie Gatchamaniac posted 7 Mar 2010 23:06

Thunderbird, I never had the chance to communicate directly with you before but I've always loved and admired the Birdstyles you did for others in the past and your great artwork! I know that you already have so much to do but, if by any chance you could include my Birdstyle as one of your future jobs, I would be very glad and grateful! Regarding colours, I can say I like all of them, so I wish to stick with the colours of my dear Eagle, with boots, gloves, style and all! Instead of the full suit, though, I wouldn't mind a miniskirt just like the Swan's! I have a full Mediterranean look, with olive to tanned skin and big, dark brown eyes. My long hair is naturally dark brown, but nowadays I'm turning them to copper with highlights ... so brown/copper is my present hair colour! Regarding curves ... well I need to add some to mine, without any exageration though! And I don't know if it's possible to include the Maltese St. John's cross somewhere (as per attached) ... even as a tattoo or as an alternate weapon! Sorry if I've given you lots to do! This is my occasion to join the Team!!

Thunderbird I know a while ago you drew a head shot for me - the Snow Owl. I would love it if you could do a body shot as well. A full Birdstyle like the guys wear. I have short mousey blonde hair and blue eyes, if you need that information.

You have to save it to your computer and resize it to meet the Gatchamania image requirements. I think it's 180 by 180 for max dimensions. Then you need to save it as a GIF file to make sure the file size limitations are met as well. Then go to your Gatchamania Profile and upload the new pic!

Springie Her Royal Fluffiness...Swan of Swans... posted 8 Mar 2010 16:15 (edited 8 Mar 2010 16:16)

I'll help you if you'd like Becky...I just re-sized it so that it is 180x180 or less and saved it as a compuserve Gif.

i am sure some where around here we did have a thread with all the Birdies TB had draw. At the moment I am too busy to find it but perhaps if I find the time. Or maybe one of the other Gatchamaniacs would feel like posting what they have.

Personally, I always try to refrain from including any extra birds in my fic (Ok - except for Generations where they are mentioned but not really an integral part). But then, I love to explore the interaction within the team on a number of different levels, rather than "action/adventure" aspects. And helmet off please.

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 9 Mar 2010 15:31

Here we go ..... I had time to do a quick search. In this thread you will find a "roll call" of all the people TB had drawn Birdstyles of and their "call sign" Birdie Roll Call Some of these images may have changed since then.

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 9 Mar 2010 18:54 (edited 9 Mar 2010 18:55)

I use Champions the super hero role playing game. You create a character and use dice to determine if you a successful at actions, skills or characteristics. It's much like acting but all unscrpited. One person(Me) referees the action and drops the clues and plays all the other people you meet. I posted a character here before but it pretty involved and requires people to be in the same place to play off one another. As you can tell I draw their character so they get a feel for who they are playing. When I was Thunderbird in the game I was an android programmed with Ken and Joe's collective skills and memories. TB was selected to recruit and lead the new team against the resurgence of Galactor.

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 9 Mar 2010 19:07

Sounds like an interesting plot, TB! I've only played RMSS and D&D (all versions) but I've heard of Champions. FWIW, we have gamed remotely, with played watching a webcam and talking via speakerphone, but you're right, that isn't ideal. But what else is the poor PC who moved to Texas supposed to do when the rest of us are in California? I've never done an entire campaign from scratch before. I'm really good at the stories, but I suck at the technical stuff in the battles... I'm just a little too 'oh yeah, that hits' and such... my co-DM is the one who nitpicks all the rules and runs the majority of the combats. Wink

Wink

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 9 Mar 2010 19:21 (edited 9 Mar 2010 19:22)

Combat is ok...but like your stories the players have to invest themselves into the plot. They have to care for their friends and family, there team mates and if you are good just hate their nemesis'. Obviously I draw anything I feel is a cool moment in a game or just the characters they meet and form connections with. I have heard about something called "roundtable" which allows for webcam and such RPGing on line....but I currently have no such thing. Perhaps someday I'll explore that.

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 9 Mar 2010 19:35

Here are a few examples of what we did at the time.

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 9 Mar 2010 20:07

I love those drawings! Was Diana supposed to be an RI-like character? Another way you can game online is to use software like Neverwinter Nights. Have everyone connect online, and use a program/story that is created by the DM. Somewhat restricted, but at least you can have people all over the world participating. I'm currently drooling over this... http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/10/d-and-d-microsoft-surface/ I'm betting that has some pretty good remote-playing options! ITA, I like my PCs to roleplay, and when I'm a PC I like to roleplayt. That's my big complaint about 4.0. It's too geared for combat, and there are very few skills/options/spells for non-combat scenarios anymore, with the blanket skill of 'diplomacy' taking care of most interactions. Sigh... I miss RMSS...

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 9 Mar 2010 20:11

I would have liked to tell you that I wished to have my helmet off, but due to the fact that you so kindly have included the St John's cross for me by drawing it on the helmet, then I have to opt for the helmet on ... that is if you cannot put the cross somewhere else instead!! Sorry if I have created any inconvenience! If not possible, I'll be glad with the helmet on! Thanks beforehand! BTW ... the last drawings you sent are awesome, TB!

Swan Song Newbie posted 10 Mar 2010 12:42

Thunderbird, I've been blown away by your creativity and technical skill, as well as your big heart! Everyone looks terrific. If you're still offering birdstyles, I would treasure one. Being a bit of a seafaring girl (occasionally hanging out with my buddy Ryu down at the marina) I'd love a Gull birdstyle--if no one else has taken it. A full-length depiction, with thigh-high boots, miniskirt, long gloves, maybe carrying the visor in my hand. My eyes are big and green, skin pale, hair is dark reddish-brown, in a 1920's style bob with bangs, chin-length in front and angles so that it's shorter in the back (a la "Velma Kelly" in the movie Chicago) & full lips. Thanks so much!

Weapons.... I'd go for throwing stars. Or whatever shuriken I found lying around..... (yeah, ok - conducting a body search of Condors for shuriken is not technically finding them lying around - unless the Condor is horizontal at the time...)

However you describe it - count me in!

Now - a question. We've got birdstyle. We've got weapons. So - what special skill do YOU bring the to team? Me? I'd like to think that I bring analytical skills - give me some intel and let me loose!

Hmmm... given my earlier post I can't deny that I would bring a little, um, blood... I'm no good with computers; people who get in the car with me say it's just like flying - without the aerodynamics that explains why or makes them feel safe; I need time to think through problems, but can usually come up with some darn good solutions if left alone to mull it over... Nope, I'd be pure attitude and willing to do the dirty work...

Thanks TB! Now my son wants one. I asked him what bird he'd chose and he said a vulture. That leaves a lot to interpretation. Would you need a specific type? He's 12, 5'3" with brown hair a little linger than a crew cut and he's stocky.

Ooooo, good thought Springie. I was wondering what skill I could have but maybe I could use my telepathy. Either that or I take the one Mark has in my AU, the ability to speak to animals. That would fit in with your premonitions.

As to what I might choose as my weapon ... well, being a Gatch F fan and always by my Eagle's side I would choose the Gatchaman Fencer or something similar! And as for my ability ... I don't think decorating cakes would be an aid to the team! And Springie has anticipated me in what I can associate myself with in RL ... you know ... my dreams, tiny premonitions, sensitivity, etc! But I feel that Springie is as much as good at this and even better, so no regrets!! I'm also good as a mediator though! Perhaps that could be a necessity! And I also have a lot of courage and sense of combat ... perhaps, due to the numerous people now forming the ever expanding team, I could be sent to the front-line whenever there's the need!

...BOO. Miss me? As people are on about more male birdies, I thought I'd put a request in. This is an oooooooooooooooooold pic of my Gatch guy from the supposedly Fluffy RP, back when the Clubhouse was on MSN. Anyways, all I can recall right now was that he was called Raptor and he was a birdy before there were birdies. I think Joe gave him the nickname 'Old Bird'. Colourwise, I think he was bodysuited with softish grey wings and belt. Was supposed to have boots and gloves, but just realised I never added them. The bird logo background and mouthlines were silverish.

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 12 Mar 2010 08:00

Do you want the design to include the face mask? And do you want him more Gatchaman-esque (Logos and such)?

Askura Forum God posted 12 Mar 2010 09:37

I always liked the facemask. He was supposed to be a darkops type of guy - and if'n I remember right, quitye famous on his planet - so it was a disguise kinda thing. I think a more Gatchstyle logo would be more fitting. Like I said, gloves and boots ineed adding, so long as he keeps his fingerclaws. Talons. Sharp finger thingies.

Wow, what a fabulous looking flock of birdies-- Everyone looks great! Askura, love the face mask. Especially love the little vulture, he's so cute. Maddy, I'd be honored if you could find me a cameo appearance in your upcoming fic... My favorite weapon of all time is the duar, from Alan Dean Foster's spellsinger series. So, my talent would be spellcasting (if there's room for that on a science ninja team.) In instances where such feats are a little too time-consuming, I'll use my "double-edged sword"--think of the double-bladed light saber in Star Wars, except with tsurugi blades fashioned out of tama-hagane steel. Both blades would retract into the handle when not in use to prevent unintended damage...oops Samurai2

Speaking of which, I also have a talent for quickly patching up otherwise lethal blows--I always felt the team needed a professional medic at hand!

Oh wow... I just signed on to find out I've been signed up! I had intended to wait until you weren't so busy with all the others, TB! Um... Well, obviously, there has to be some green involved *grin*, but I'm rather partial to black too! So maybe mostly black with green bits? I've never been a, um, 'princess' - I was the tomboy of my family - so an all over suit would be more my style... And I'm definitely a raptor! Not sure what a kite is, but I know what a hawk looks like, so if that's possible... I'm the stereotypical blonde with blue eyes, bob cut with a fringe... I've been described as anything from 'mischievous' to 'that evil b*tch'... Is that enough info, TB? Thank you! And to all that put my hand up for me - Huggles

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 15 Mar 2010 20:12

Woooo, hoooo! I am looking forward to seeing what TB comes up with for Green. Kites I believe are similar to hawks but have longer wings. One or two have a forked tail - which come to think about it, could be what Jinpei is instead of a Swallow. Now I am thinking for my AU, I could change Keyop from a Merlin like, I had decided, to a Swallow tailed Kite, when he returns back to the team after his absence.

Men at Work. They sing our national anthem - the real one, not the official version...

Which song is the anthem? The one I'm thinking of, that introduced non-Aussies to the existence of vegemite?

Yep! Traveling in a fried-out combie On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, "Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six-foot-four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich And he said, "I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Lyin' in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me Because I come from the land of plenty?" And he said, "Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Yeah! Living in a land down under Where women glow and men plunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover!

Not that 6 year old quite appreciate it, but they do get to here it when ever I am playing it on one of those "silly song" days. I have a bunch of tunes I put on and start "dancing" to while the class is doing activities. They love to see Ms. B. going "crazy", of course I have to be in that certain mood to do it. Wink

Thank you everyone and TB, Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are Awesome! Now, I feel like I'm completely out of the loop on current events as I didn't know that Down Under replaced Waltzing Matilda as the Australian national anthem, though both are great songs. However when it comes to Men at Work, I've always been more partial to Who Can It Be Now; perhaps that my paranoid schizophrenia coming out.

Firebird Princess Firebird..... Goddess of Swannie Fics posted 16 Mar 2010 13:09

I know how you feel Amethyst I thought the Australian national anthem was Australia Fair. Waltzing Matilda being the anthem sung at Sporting events ie Rugby. Guess I should really start keeping up with things.

Hi Thunderbird. I'm a little late to join this party, but if you're still making Bird Styles, I'd love it if you could make one of me! My favorite bird is a coot (really). They're all black except for a white forehead and bill. I think they're pretty cute. I have long, straight black hair and dark brown "Asian" eyes. I would love it if you could put me in a swan-like outfit, though I'm not nearly as curvacious as some of the swans here. All of your drawings are amazing! It's very generous of you to share them with us. Thanks!

Yes I do, but I was never good enough to make the school teams. I did play for a couple years while at community college, but again not the competitive team just a fun team. My daughter is looking forward to being able to play next year. Now softball is my sport, though I only played my freshman year in high school. After that, the coach surrounded himself with about six girls that had all-county, all-state potential and the rest were cute little blondes that put out more off the field than on. (If he had done that today, his a$$ would be in jail.)

LOL ... the story is always the same! I love to play volleyball! I was a member of the school team during my secondary years and I also was a member of my city's team. Afterwards I kept playing with the Central Bank of Malta's team, where I worked, but had to abandon all when I had kids! I don't lose an opportunity to play volleyball when it comes, though, even if I have to take things a bit easy now! It's a nice thing that your daughter could be active at such a good sport, Amethyst!

Our town's youth sports director is hoping to get a small league together this spring and my daughter is really excited. She is the athlete in the family. Currently finishing up basketball (power forward and center, though she does need to work on her ball handling skills, she passes off to one of the guards way to quick) and starting her second season of softball (starting pitcher and most likely firstbase or shortstop). Green, no worries, I was late joining the party. Maybe Maddy will work that into her plot somehow. Cool new look Gatch72. Another amazing job by TB.

You need some villains. Marcus Bolt - Traitor and defector. Haven't worked out just why he did it, but he's now loyal to Spectra (more than he was to Earth). Blond hair, blue eyes, and you can give him whatever costume suits your fancy. And a new squad to put the birds through the wringer -- The DeathCats. Male and female. Raised and trained from birth in numerous fighting arts, armed and unarmed. Their gear looks like a body-armor version of the Spectran infantry uniform. More feline characteristics to the headgear. Claws can be deployed from the backs of their gauntlets (think of Wolverine's claws for a model). DeathCat Prime is the squad leader. Female. Where the others have blue on their armor, she has black. Brown hair and eyes. Does not believe in safety words. (I'll think of a name for her, eventually.)

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr nice, TB. Kinda... Batmany looking birdstyle, somehow. So... original GodPheonix... with blue/yellow for the recon team, and black/red for the strike team? Which one does Thunderbird head up?

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 19 Mar 2010 15:45

TB commands the Black and Red (His costume colors) The strike team, no doubt. The way I figure it the ISO has had a few God Phoenix's constructed for each team to trouble shoot round the globe. Galactor(Spectra) will step up their terror operations and Gatchaman (G-Force) must answer in kind to the multiple hot spots. Each team will have a mothership, their vehicles a commander, pilot and tactical/weapons and two other specialists supporting the team. Always 5 acting as one.

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 19 Mar 2010 16:54

I thought I'd put this together so you can see the teams. I'll leave it to you who goes where, who leads each team and which specialists are assigned. I can modify this with the head shots as we progress. If we need another God Phoenix I am assured thet the ISO will fork out for it. LOL I didn't get the impression the first team broke up so I left them the same. You'll have to correct me if I'm wrong.

Seconded! It's a great idea, though - it'll help us keep track of who's working where. Got any info on the black Phoenix? Like a name, for example? Oh, and as for Amethyst's placement - we're learning a lot about each other, possibly taking on the Condor together (get that mind out of the gutter, Maddy!), so it's up to you to decide whether you really want to unleash the pair of us onto Spectra at the same time. Just bear in mind I am not a mechanic, while she's in the engineering department...

Firebird Princess Firebird..... Goddess of Swannie Fics posted 20 Mar 2010 02:30

Ok so short bio Name Tai but known mostly as FB Abilities - Pyrokinesis and telekinesis. She can also blend in well with her surroundings due to an inate ability to mimic behaviours. She is a trained scientist who learnt her skills from a reclusive man she met. Background - Tai does not remember her parents she is a street brat raised by the streets or rather dragged up. She made friends with another street kid who taught her self defence but that child disappeared one day and it is unknown what happened to him. She found at an early age she had certain abilities but she learnt quickly it was best to hide these skills so that she did not attract too much attention. Her life on the streets meant she learnt to blend in well and enabled her to improve her mimicing ability. It was while living in the streets she encountered a somewhat reclusive couple (Simon and Maria) with whom she formed a bond and after some persuasion she went with them. About five years after going with them Maria was killed in a car accident and so they moved again and now live in a remote area where Tai assists Simon with his work. He has helped her learn to control her abilities. Often protecting her from those who might want to use her for their own purposes by hiding her or showing her how to cover up her abilities. However if she gets upset or riled she has been known to cause a small fire or to hurl an object at someone. While living with them she has learnt to use a crossbow it was a skill taught to her by the Maria and a skill that she now uses when hunting for food. She also grows their own vegtables so that they do not rely on shopping too much, though they do get parcels every now and then from an old friend of his called Anderson. She knows that he is working on something special for Anderson and through helping Simon she has a good understanding on what this object will be used for and aside from Simon is the only person capable of understanding the work being done. (Hopefully not too OTT)

Ooo! We have the Gatchachicken for target practice! ...I'm just sayin'. Actually, I can see each Pheonix being specialised for it's role - so whilst the original may be a decent allrounder, the StrikePheonix is more geared for combat, with heavier armour and more weaponary, whilst the ReconPheonix is more stealthy, little in the way of weapons but packed with surveilance and countermeasure gear. As for the Mynahbird... i thought she was going to get in on meetings by being the secretary... : hides :

If tis get in then get out and kaboom, Condor. If it invovles get in, get information get out, then Swan. That sort of team would need an experienced leader for it not somebody just joning the team.

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 21 Mar 2010 20:31

The covert action team does the black ops stuff. I figure unlike the recon team that is in and out with the info, these agents of the ISO complete their mission with leaving a footprint or trail leading back to headquarters. BJ and FB have indicated stealth and chameleon like abilities which suited the idea. I thought they were naturals for the team. I don't know everyone here on the boards so I'm not sure who should be on which team. I'd like some more guys but obviously a team leader doesn't need to be a male. If Covert Ops is not your taste we can change it to an assault team, more ordinance and firepower for mecha fights. I would also think the relationship between the crews should be good. The fics you are all writing tend to be a good indication of what makes good drama and interpersonal relations on the team. Angst is good. Hell I'll even invent guys to fill out the teams so everyone doesn't have to lust over Mark, Jason, Tiny TB or Askura. Just thinking out loud.

It's just everyday software programs that he has major problems with it - they're too easy to use. I actually work with a couple of computer programmers who have problems using word processing programs, etc. Great programmers, but just can't get their mind around simpler things.

Massive IF RP thread is already underway - called Gatchamaniacs in the IF section of the forum. (and has already involved a rolled over truck, an explosion, Condor problems and frustrated Eagle. And they haven't even had their first briefing yet!) Ste is in - he's Commander of the Recon team (and he's mine! All mine!! Erm. 'Scuse me.) - he's working on his re-vamp character but I think it's still going to be a highly placed Rigan who really shouldn;t be here doing what he's doing (hence the face hiding thing). We need a bit from you on your character (there are some posted already on this thread). Now - we just need another person for our Assault team - or not.... Don't you love it - an assault team comprised entirely of kick-ass females..... With a stray Ranger we picked up to do the heavy lifting work Yippee

Yippee

Why o why do I suspect that the one and only Shinji won't really object to associating with a team of sexy-ass females???? BTW: yes - in the IF I've had a certain Eagle and Swan married and the Swan seems to acting as a kind of mentor to the other ladies. Now THAT should make all the male birdies terrified!

Green! My kids' favorite was when they watched the very beginning part, where Dr. Keane does his introduction. He would say, "I'm Dr. Thaddeus Keane." and my kids would yell back at the TV, "No you're not, you're Dr. Nambu!" That always had me pound

Both Eagle and Swan have gone to great pains to make their marriage common knowledge - and mostly for the same basic reasons. The Eagle doesn't mind fangirls - but he drew the line when they damaged his plane when they were lying in wait in the hangar. The Swan is just staking her claim. She doesn't really mind the adoring from afar of the Gatchagals - she likes them and plays informal mentor and big sister to them.

If either Gatchgirl or John is willing to take on the Gold Phoenix, then it would have the beginnings of a crew.

I added background in the IF so everyone will now know Fb's origin. perfectly fine with her being fourth and perfect team for her to be on not just with abilities but looking at the line up there are a few people there that will easily gel with her. Only thing I did not expand on is that the assassin skills are hand combat and poisons rather than weapons. poisons comes from scientific ability. I left openings for the other covert team members to befiend her due to having either similar abilities or just the good interpersonal skills. Looking forward to seeing where this goes also looking forward to the death kitties playing.

Madilayn Mistress of Ebil posted 25 Mar 2010 17:03

Come, flex it more, John. The IF is happily underway and you've just been transmuted into your birdstyle! I work for the Queensland Department of Emergency Services in their IT Proejcts area doing Project Admin. At the moment, the main Project I look after is for the Qld Fire and Rescue Service and it;s reached the rollout stage. At the moment, we have 10 firefighters on secondment to the project (and would you believe not one of them is one of the oilyboys from the Firefighter calendar!! I've complained but the Deputy Commissioner just laughs at me). Add to that two of my cousins are fireys as well. Yup - I know a lot of them. Are you a firey John? It's just that in your writeup where you mention the two roles being just as important - well that's exactly how the fireys here are. Many of them also volunteer in the SES (a volutnteer group who does tarping roofs in storms, cleanup, search and rescue etc - and who also comes under DES) and I've seen them in tears when we had major bushfires here that they couldn;t go and help at. (In fact, I will never forget them in the big Victorian crisis - they actually wer in our conference room trying to plan how they would attack varoius fires - and the fires themselves were heartbreaking but was was even more heartbreaking was when these big, rough tough fireys realised that even if they had been there, there was absolutely nothing that they could have done that would have saved any people or property). Amy - I reckon that John would be a part of the fire crew on the base. Well, if he wasn't before the programme, he would be now. Oh dear. Another person who may be stalking Green and Amy!!!

Becky Rock Gatchamaniac posted 25 Mar 2010 17:07

Now, I really need to know which side he'd take. It would be fun to write how three rookies might take on Anderson if push came to shove; well three rookies and a Condor (he's likely gonna be tired of it, too).

Garnet Gatchamaniac posted 25 Mar 2010 17:52

TB, is it too late to ask for a birdstyle picture. I'd love one. I'm not sure which bird to take. I was going to say the peregrine, but I think someone has that one already. Does anyone have the swallow-tailed kite taken? If so, just pick something for me. Something small, quick and with attitude. My physical description is about as plain as they come. I have brown, stringy-straight hair that's a little past sholder-length right now. My eyes are green but toward the hazel, I am a little curvey, but not as much as I was before I lost the 30 pounds. You won't catch me dead in a miniscirt. Smile

My favorite color is blue, any shade. About the only color I can't stand is orange in any form. Thanks. Also, I'll work on a character bio. I think I'd do best on the gold team.

I still have to do yours Mockingbird....you are so far sadly absent from the team shot.

Garnet Gatchamaniac posted 25 Mar 2010 20:30

Okay, I'll give the bio a try. Speciality: Garnet (the Swallow-tailed Kite) is skilled in meteorology. She has not only the knowledge of the science behind weather forcasting, but she has a feel for changes in the weather. She is very sensative to pressure changes and other phenomea that occur with rapidly destablizing weather conditions. She also has some skill in field medicine. Not a full-fledged medic, but no one's going to bleed to death on her watch. Weapons: Senbon needles. They are needles thrown at opponents to either strike in areas causing death, deadening of limbs or to cause an opponent to fall down allowing a teammate to them out. Personality The Swallow-taile Kite uses her sarcasm and attitude to hide a deep-seated lack of confidence. She can be her own worst enemy. Failure is not an option to her. She is loyal to her friends and wears her heart on her sleeve. She has a photographic memory and observes details that many others miss. Flirting isn't her thing, she would rather use the direct approach. If she really met a guy she was attracted to, she'd be more likely to blush and look away than try to get to know him. Beginnings: Garnet was sent away at an early age to attend a boarding school. One holiday her parents failed to show up to claim her. She never let that deture her. She managed to finish high school and earn a scholarship to attend college. Civilian Cover She works for the ISO/GalSec as a meteorologist for space launches. I owe my daughter for coming up with the weapon as well as the correct spelling of and it's uses.

Well, since my girl is 15, the same age I was when I first saw BotP, and she has a mouth that would make even the SNT blush, I figure Gatch might be the way to go with her. She already likes anime, so I don't think the sanitized U.S. version would work as well for her, even though my heart belongs to BotP. I hope I can corrupt her. It's been a while since we shard a fandom, and never one where she could participate so fully.

One of the funniest things I ever had the good fortune (???) to deal with was when the school I was working at suffered a vandalism attack. On the side of a classroom in bright orange paint, in letters three foot high, was the F-word... I was doing yard duty and two of the newest students (barely 5 years old and had been at school for maybe 6 weeks) came running up to me. Both girls, one was a red head in pig tails, the other a white blonde with a pony tail. Both little angels from the tips of their toes to the freckles on their nose. "Sensei (yep, I was the Japanese teacher...), sensei! someone's written a bad word on the building!" They were horrified! Their blue eyes were filled with tears and they were practically shaking. "I know, darling. But someone will be here later to clean it off so you don't have to worry about it." "But it's a really bad word!" "Oh, I know, honey... But's it's okay, it'll be gone by tomorrow." "It starts with fff - for fish!" "Yes, sweetheart, it is a really bad word and-" "It says F*CK!" "Uh huh... Sweetie - can you spell your name for me?" "Oh, no, sensei. We're only up to j for jam..." "Yeah, that's what I thought...." That was the day I suggested to their teacher that teaching them 'd for duck' wasn't such a good thing.... Once we had calmed down, of course!

Unfortunately F*CK is not the worst that have been written. The neighbourhood I work in is not the best in the city and bad words, gangs and drug needles on the playground are not uncommon. Since Christmas I have had a 6 year old student telling me I am a f*cking c*nt and that I was ruining his life. All because I was making him stay in at recess. Luckily I could smile at the language because I know the background the child is coming from.

I always loved it when our principal and vp's preached to call home about disrespectful behavior. Yet at every department meeting we were sitting around complaining about the parents and no one had the guts to tell the administration: Where the hell do you think the kids learned this from?

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 27 Mar 2010 19:55

That is my thought too Amethyst. In this case the child's family is going through a very messy divorce so I suspect those words are being through around a lot. In most cases it is not the children I hate working with, it is the parents when I have to explain that their little "angles" are not so angelic.

:blushes a little: Well not all swearing kids get it from home. My little Joshie has been dropping the F-bomb since he began daycare. Flash and I never use it at home, nor in his presence, yet one day he turned to a friend of mine and said: F*ck you! He uses it now whenever he and I are at war with me trying to get him in time out ... he will always snarl it at me to get a reaction. Flash and I have NEVER used that phrase, and to the best of my knowledge none of our friends have. If we say anything close to that it's simply "bugger off" or "Bite me"... So he didn't get it from us. And being that I'm living in a Vietnamese speaking family unit, I know for sure he isn't getting it from them. His daycare was also Vietnamese (done so that I would ensure he'd learn the language of his paternal heritage), so I am at a loss to explain it. He's discovered the word "sex" now ... (he only turned five last week)... One horrfying instance was when Joshie and Flash were goofing off and wrestling on the floor. Joshie stopped, looked up at him and asked "Are we having sex now?" Needless to say Flash was mortified. Now we don't even use that word. Not that it's bad or anything, but if there's a joke about it, I call it nookie and Flash simply makes a stupid sound effect for it. I can assure anyone who is unlucky enough to hear josh swear that it isn't because he's from a bad family or a bad neighbourhood... because he isn't. Sometimes language just happens, I guess. I suspect it is the louts on the buses speaking nonsence on their cellphones, or language simply walking down the street. I've heard foul language at the playground by parents who couldn't care less about who was listening, and even baseball has it's colourful language. SJ

That's why I went into high school. I remembered high school being sink or swim, now we have to hold their hands like they were still in kindergarten. Of course, many of my children were because of social promotion which was still prevalent in that district. Of course we also had a high level of students whose parents were teen parents and many of those students either were teen parents or soon to be.

I am the complete opposite, I guess. I have been known to phone the teacher myself to question why I am not being informed when my son is being a little shit. Josh informed me one week of three separate incidences where he got reprimanded for one: Pinching a girl. Two: spitting on a child and three: punching one in the gut. I was horrified and spoke to the teacher about it, as I need to know these things to correct his behaviour. Turns out there were some upheavals in the classroom that the teacher believed attributed to these problems so she didn't think it was necessary to tell me. I insisted that in the future if anything of this nature occurs again that I want her to notify me immediately. Josh is usually a good kid, smart, adorable, but I also know he has a fiery little streak in him. I can't correct the behaviour if I am not being told about it. I don't understand parents giving teachers a hard time when their kids play up. Kids are vastly different creatures at school than they are at home ... And angel at home can very likely become a demon in the school yard.. Fortunately for us, Josh is the opposite. A little devil at home, but for the most part a star student. I need to hire his teacher to come home with him ... LOL! SJ

amethyst Wanted: $1000 Reward posted 27 Mar 2010 20:40

Daycares are awful places. I once called a pre-school teacher on a word that neither my husband or I use and she swore up and down it couldn't have come from the school, until I talked to the director and she told me the source of the word as a movie they'd watched recently, a PG movie. My middle one is just like yours. I swear he's a saint everywhere but home, where he tries to let his temper run free. BTW -- kudos, SJ, for insisting on exposing your son to more culture and language!

reading your story! It seemed to be a rather embarassing moment! Just yesterday, my almost 6-year-old son was having fun exploring his new ability to read words! I overheard him trying to pronounce words in syllables and spelling them loud and what do you think were the words he was pronouncing?! Oh ... I couldn't help myself laugh secretly but, at the same time, I had to stop him from doing so! And so many colorful words he was saying! We're not saints but most of them he surely have learnt from outside of our home!

green Gatchamaniac posted 27 Mar 2010 22:44

Marie, don't be alarmed at your son. My mother often regals us with a story about my older sister during her first few months at school. Please bear in mind, she's 43 now with a child of her own, so this is something that happened 38 years ago when certain standards were much higher.... The teacher had set them a task - choose a letter to make 'FAR' into a four letter word. All the other kids used 'M' to make farm... My sister chose 'T'.

Garnet Gatchamaniac posted 28 Mar 2010 06:45

LOL, Green. I could so see that happening with the kids I went to school with. It confounds me sometimes where kids do pick up some of the things they say. I often used to try to figure out where a particular word may have entered my daughter's vocabulary. Usually I could trace it to her dad. Now and then it came from me, but I tried to be fairly careful about word-choice when she was younger. Sometimes I just had to put it down to something she heard in the neighborhood. From the time she was born till she was four, we lived in a bad neighborhood and you would hear all kinds of things. We had two experiences where we thought the local drug dealers were going to steal her from us two blocks from our house, and she saw a drug deal at the age of six weeks. Geeze was I glad to get out of there. Then we moved to red-neck heaven, a trailer park--yes it got hit by two tornadoes while we lived there--and I never knew what she might hear out of the locals, kid and adults alike. We moved from there about four years ago, and by that time she had pretty much set what her personality will be. Yes she has a potty-mouth, but she has a good head on her shoulders. She is the advise giver for most of her friends and she probably has kept more than one from making a choice they could never take back. she gripes about authority to me, but she abides by the rules and she's honest. She talks to me and tells me what's going on in her life; and if you have that from a teenager, you're pretty lucky. She called last night to see if she could do an iTunes download this week at her dad's and I told her what was happening on the board. Don't be too surprised if she shows up here soon. She really intrigued. It would really be fun to share a fandom with her again. Smile

Oh God! You just can't stop making me laugh with your stories, Green! But those kind of stories are so innocent! That's why I tend to smile or cover my laughter when I catch my children in such an act! And the more they become aware that we're enjoying it, the more they keep on repeating them! I know ... sometimes it's really our fault! This one has just come to my mind ... a few weeks ago, my son, who is learning how to read at a really fast rate, was practicing his reading. His teacher is teaching them how to read in syllables ... they first pronounce the letters that form the first syllable, then they pronounce the whole syllable, and continue like that until they manage to read the whole word at once. That day he had taken a copybook out of his sachel and put it on the kitchen's table. He started to read what was written on the cover of the copybook which was manufactured by "Oxford", this word written in bold letters. As he was still in the phase of making an emphasy when reading syllables, he literally yelled the first syllable a dozen of times to attract our attraction ... because he knows damn well that, in some way, in Maltese "Ox" (phonetically sounding like "Osh" in English) means a naughty word ... you know, that woman's part down there! We couldn't admonish him for doing so as he was just reading ... the cheeky one knew well what he was saying though and he was enjoying it! We just couldn't stop laughing!

Mallard....is this the target Thunderbird and BoP saved? Bit of trivia....Mallard was the actual pilot of the God Phoenix when I ran my RPG in Toronto. Scott was the name of the player. His character was in charge of an air museum and his prize possession a Mitchell bomber.

Garnet Gatchamaniac posted 28 Mar 2010 20:01

Thunderbird God of Thunder posted 28 Mar 2010 20:06 (edited 28 Mar 2010 20:09)

Yep. He is an expert pilot. He's the Max Sterling from Robotech, Wash from Firefly, Wedge from Star Wars the kinda guy who flies by the seat of his pants but can pull off the impossible. He's what we called in game terms and NPC (Non-Player Character) If desired he can fill out a team and put a bit more men mixed to the teams unless we get more Gatchamaniacs to fill out the ranks.

amethyst Wanted: $1000 Reward posted 28 Mar 2010 20:33

TB, my only question about using him, is if we do, is there a possibility that this guy might show up here and get upset with us taking liberties with his personae? If you're sure he'd be cool with it and the others agree, I don't see a problem.

Wow! Whoa! Quite the pic there. I second SJ's request. I would so love to see those two pics. Also, Amaya told me about two weeks ago, or more, that she'd picked out a birdstyle. She wanted the Indigo Bunting. She doesn't plan to write with us, but she wouldn't mind us putting her in the story. She's always asking what Todd's up to. Smile

OMG! That's my baby girl! I don't know how you do it, TB. But I really see her in this, especially in the face. Can't wait till she decides to get up today so she can see it. She partied hard yesterday and is on the injured list today. The teens were hanging out in the cemetary near where we had our party and she was running down a hill and tried to jump over an elevated drain of some kind, tripped and rolled dow the rest of the hill. she has a really scraped leg and hand and possibly a twisted/sprained wrist. She's also down because, as much as she love her friend Katie, it's hard for her to see Katie with her first real boyfriend--the only one she's ever cried over. I have to say, I admire the three of them for maintaining such a close friendship, but it is hard.

Garnet Gatchamaniac posted 31 May 2010 08:08

Madilayn Mistress of Ebil posted 31 May 2010 13:54

TB we have so missed you and your talent while you've been playing in real life!! Love your latest pics. *insert Mynah sigh* Notice that the Wedge isn't wearing regulation panties.... I have a massive favour to ask - would you be able to draw Shai'Kan and the Major? Both are in their early 60's but look much younger due to their lifestyles - both train hard and life healthy. The Major is Wedgetail's dad - very masculine looking with piercing blue eyes. His hair is probably salt and pepper grey, but cut in a very military cut. He's about 6'5" and has recntly been revealed to be a Red Ranger. Shai'Kan is Princess' grandmother - very tiny - about 5'2" with the same colouring as Princess (her hair is grey - but she's getting a dye job soon). She wears her hair very long. Shai'Kan is Rigan and is the head of the Predator clan on Riga so her figure is definitely that of a much younger woman (she's been training for at least 50 years). Her birdstyle is exactly the same as the Eagle without the logo on the front. She usually only wears helmet on formal or battle occasions. The important thing about these two - they've been in love for the last 30 years but only just become lovers. So - if you could do this - it would be great!

RIgirl Gatchamaniac posted 31 May 2010 14:04

I got a great chuckle out of that, too! It is so something Sams would do -- not liking the issued undees so she goes out and picks her own ... Mads won't be thrilled when she finds out ... HAHA I showed a buddy of mine at work this pic (who has contacts at Nelvana and believes you TB should consider trying to get yourself in with them) she knows nothing of the IF, but her reaction was great. She chuckled and said it definitely looks as though Shin is the playful one, judging by the cheeky expression he has. She reckons it looks as though he is trying to pull her around to face him so he can throw her up against the nearest wall to lay one on her! She said that Sam's blush is the perfect finishng touch! I'm with Mads ... I'd love a pic of the Major and Shai'kan .. that would be awesome! TB, thanks for sharing your mental health day with us!! You've made my day!!

I went to Sheridan College which is know for their animation, but I never prospered there...and the economy killed my chances to finish school. So I appreciate the compliment...A LOT! Here is the Major and Princess's Mom. I hope the outfit is okay. I didn't think she would have an official G-Force uniform as she was Rigan. Hope thatt's cool.

SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!! Oh TB! So great!!! As for Shai'Kan's outfit - G-Force were based on her Predator clan. She's a bit of a legend, and as a tribute to that, Mark wears her colours/uniform (although he didn't know that until recently). They both rock so much though - both have got that really deadly look about them!!! Thank you Thankyou Thank you!!!

Don't we have a new bird in Ian, also? :giggles: And just to stir up Green a little bit ... How about a pic of Ko'Ran (a gigantic -- tall, not fat -- Rigan Ranger) and our timy Green Hawk?

TB - Ko'Ran's Princess cousin - so probably dark haired and green eyed too. And yeah - he's tall. About 7' tall and built to match - and he's a Ranger.

Thigh high leather comes in handy! The next shot would be of her walking away flicking blood from a blade saying, 'What? He touched me!

UnpublishedWriter Gatchamaniac posted 11 Jun 2010 09:27

I'm not sure where Crow should go. Since one of her specialties is deep cover and stealth, she should be on whichever team needs that skill. Once she gets her memory back. (Oh, and back on the IF, she stuck Daddy Dearest with two throwing knives, then kicked him in the head for good measure. When his driver popped out of the car, she had to leave. Things were heating up back at the gala. The jerk-ass is lucky to be alive.)

Madilayn Mistress of Ebil posted 11 Jun 2010 14:15

And besides, Cronus may have some objections to Lee being on Stealth. He may just prefer her to be on Gold. And Gold would need a pretty good pilot to get them in and out fast.

amethyst Wanted: $1000 Reward posted 11 Jun 2010 14:54

Since we seem to be having a second wave of recruitment, why don't we consider something like this: Put those with some training like the Crow, Hummingbird, and Trasher on one of the existing teams that need to be filled up. Then for the girls that we are about to find, why don't we take the navy blue phoenix that TB has done and make that a training ship with Mallard and Paradise as One and Two. It puts them into use and gives the new birds an accelerated trainging schedule, a la on the job training. Plus it would allow them to be trained as a team. Would that work?

Madilayn Mistress of Ebil posted 11 Jun 2010 15:06

Sounds a good idea. I was also toying with the new birds, whilst training, rotate around the existing craft as needed. I figured that when our birds were being trained they would have gone on Phoenix on occasion as well.

amethyst Wanted: $1000 Reward posted 11 Jun 2010 15:35

Of course we can always do like we've done with everyone else and mix up as needed, too. But at least this way they have a team and a ship and can be used for patrol or backup or however else they may be needed.

Actually, I was thinking of the marvelous illustration you did for Madilyn and TransmuteJun's "Beloved" fic. (At the end of the second ch.) I'm working on a fic called "Alpha & Omega" and my orginal character will (eventually!) be a Raven. And the look of the Blackbird outfits that Eagle and Condor have are almost exactly what I want for Raven. Change the purple to dark grey and and add appropiate insignia, and it's 9/10 there. The shape and visor on Amethyst's avatar are great; the visor just needs to be darker (gray) and a couple inches shorter and narrower. Raven is six ft tall with an androgynous build, and in the interests of 'secret identity' her style is made like the guys'. The front of the torso is made in a triangular shape to make her waist look wider and her shoulder narrower. (Another reason for the 'male' style is that trying to get her into any kind of dress is a good way to wind up in ICU!)

UnpublishedWriter Gatchamaniac posted 12 Jun 2010 08:33

I think we may need a thread with specific birdie bios (and their pics), just so idiots like me can keep everyone straight. Which teams need personnel, and what are those teams' specialties? My bird is covert-trained, but she knows her boom-stuff and computers, and can at least land a Phoenix without causing too much damage. (Working on what personal vehicle she should have. Its civilian mode would be completely average. Car, motorcycle, minivan? If I went with a motorcycle, I'd want it to transmute into something like a Lawmaster from the Judge Dredd comics. Those bikes are -- well, I think the Condor would want one: two machine guns, and an onboard AI that doesn't mind destroying things.)

amethyst Wanted: $1000 Reward posted 12 Jun 2010 08:54

UW, the bios are in the character thread. No reason you can't post your pics with it. I just haven't done it, well, because I don't know how to do it, yet. As for you vehicle, take what you want. My girl's civilian vehicle is a classic Mustang that does not transmute. Her G-Force vehicle is the atv from hell that could detransmute, but she doesn't take advantage of that very often.

Springie: The two birdies you asked about were original characters based on someone girlfriends. They are not based on a real bird...just their fav colors. I never heard from them again after that so I'm assuming they moved on. Many of those portraits are defunct characters I imagine now. Everyone else: I made these roster charts to help everyone with who is where. I to thought maybe we could move active players to active teams. ( It looks like about half of the teams are not actively writing and I don't want to be mean but interaction between players is good and some voices are always silent) I can always move the PCs who aren't actively writing to different Phoenix's....though Black is still my command....whether I write or not...hehehe. I will expect Green Hawk and Moking Bird to do my team proud in the writing of our actions. Maybe someday I'll get back to writing to...but I'd rather scribble. Wink

TB, no wonder I didn't remember them! I'm glad I have a little bit of my memory left! Like you, TB, I'd rather scribble than write. I did a background for my character and that's about it. I've drawn a picture or two that goes with Garnet's back story, too. Amethyst suggested that she had an idea about getting TB and Dove together...and I'm fine with that...we've seen a few hints here and there in the IF. Also, some people have written Dove into some of the scenes, and I've really enjoyed reading them! But like I've said before, I don't plan on writing anymore unless the writing bug bites...and pictures are just more fun for me. So I hope people aren't offended that I'm not writing in the IF.

No, not much research other then wikis...but I did do character design professionally for a while for the RPG "Champions". The superhero role playing game.

If you do ever see something that you don't think your girl would do or say, just let us know - the last thing we want to do is stuff up your creation. Same goes for you, TB - it was your gift of avatars that started all of this and opened a whole new world of fun for so many of us. We'll never be able to repay you for that, but the least we can do is get your boy right. We fully respect that neither of you can jump in all the time either because of time issues or other interests, so don't ever feel guilty about that - you both have given us so much of your talent that we would be just greedy to ask for more. But we are and probably will! Just know that we appreciate everything you both have done for us. Huggles

Originally posted by Thunderbird Just to illustrate the point made earlier....this roster chart shows those actively writing the IF consistently. the "Blue" sheened characters are either NPCs (Non Player Characters or PC who are not writing. I'm not saying kick em out...I participate but am not a fiction feind like some of you, but I do think the PCs should participate in some manner. Again forgive me if I seem like a jerk...that's not my intention.

TB your point is very well taken about participating in the IF. I can't speak for anyone else, but for myself I can share that it is my intention to participate in the IF at some point. But as a writer with limited time, I find I have to make a choice as to what I will work on and I am slogging through a long fic of my own (and I'm stuck atm!!! I hate that) and if I were to start writing on the IF I feel like my own project would languish. Also, the plot lines are extremely convoluted and I haven't been able to easily find an entry point. (Love how Unpublished Writer is working her character in!!) Actually, I'm not even caught up on the entire story yet. When I get to a point where I am ready to join, I'm sure everyone will help me find a way to thread in a new character . . . but I'm just not ready yet. I appreciate and enjoy tremendously all of the work you and springie do as artists . . . and the writers continue to blow my mind every day. It's nice just to be able to read and enjoy everyone's creativity.

That way, Vo has Lee closer to keep an eye on during training, and it doesn't leave Garnet the only PC on the Intervention Rescue Team. I *think* somebody posted that Vo can fly a Pheonix, but having a second pilot is always usefull.

Garnet Gatchamaniac posted 13 Jun 2010 14:31

I like being on I and R. I feel comfortable there. I mean, if I have to, I'll go, but I would really rather stay where I'm at. I have got used to doing a lot of the writing for my whole team and feel like I've got a half-way decent handle on my character's place. I think it would mess with my writing to move her at this stage. If everyone wants to do that though, I live with it and adapt.

RIgirl Gatchamaniac posted 13 Jun 2010 17:34

Or.... Hummingbird can sort of be a switch hitter and go wherever she's needed most. If there's a mission Vo thinks she should be in on, she goes with him. Otherwise, she stays with Kite on I and R. This way, Garnet, we can have some fun thinking up some things and when you just want to go with a storyline of your own, you can. How does that sound to everyone?
