Arizda: Hi, everyone! This is going to be a sort of interactive ficcy! Only thing is, the chapters are going to be a bit longer than most others, and I'm accepting pretty much any kind of characters and plot ideas! Just e-mail them to me at Quikko@survivormail.com , or, you can get a hold of me on AIM with the s/n OCStarbuddy! Anyway, if you submit a character, I shall give you full credit, and it will surely be used. And any time you want your character to specifically do something, just get a hold of me with my e-mail or on AIM! You can also get in touch with me by neomailing me at Neopets (which I do not own, and speaking of the disclaimer, I don't own Zoids, either!). There, my screen name is quikko. Anyway, read below what I have to say, because I'm wrappin' up this paragraph!

Okay, thanks for reading. First of all, I just have to say that after a long and boring summer vacation (which I am still in the middle of), I have gotten quite brain drained, because there aren't enough activities to give me ideas to write. But y'know, I want to write anyway, so this is where I need your help, everyone! I'm starting a fanfiction continuing right after the first season of Zoids, and you could call it Zoids season 1 ½, if you like! Lol. Because of this, you still have your regular characters: Bit, Leena, Brad, Jamie, and Doc. Don't forget the Backdraft team, Naomi Fluegal, and the occasional visit from Harry ^_^. If you're bent on giving me your character to use in the story, just know this one thing: I WILL USE EVERY CHARACTER SUBMITTED TO ME! So don't fret if you don't think it's good at all. I promise, I'll use all of the characters I get. I also don't want a bunch of youngin's. What I mean by this is that it would be GREAT if you could submit older people, like mad scientists, and such. That would be great, and it would be a great spark in the ficcy. Well, onto explaining the different parts of the character development sheet, oik?

**NAME** This, I think, is a true no-brainer. Just put down your character's FULL NAME. I'm not asking for its nickname, I'm asking for his/her FULL NAME. Please don't put question marks. If it was meant to be unknown, just tell me that in parentheses. ^_^

**AGE** Another no-brainer, ne? Yes, just tell me how old your character is. Short story made even shorter. : D

**GENDER** Tell me whether your character is a boy or a girl. Simple.

**NATION** This is very simple. Just tell me if your character is one of the following: Good, evil, neutral, or confused (lol). Good is obviously one of the characters that fights with a pure heart, evil does no good, neutral is a more minor character who fights for the heck of it, and a confused character has no idea what side that they're on and is on the borderline of good and evil.

**NICKNAME** Does your character have a nickname? If so, tell it to me.

**HAIR COLOR** I need a hair color and style.

**EYE COLOR** I need an eye color.

**PERSONALITY** Basic definition of your character. I just need a nice, short, little description of how they act. I definitely need to know how they act when happy, when sad, when angry, when scared, and when they're in love (since I CAN make pairings w/your character and others once it's handed over, unless you state otherwise).

**DESCRIPTION** Casual, formal, and just anything else that you can think of. What does your character like/dislike? And other nonsense here. Height, weight, ect.

**ZOID** Tell me all about it here.

**ID#** In the ficcy, everyone has there own ID # which greatly adds to the plot of the ficcy. So please just make up a number. ^_^ Preferably one with 6-9 digits.

**RELATIONS** I just might go deep into the plot with YOUR character, and if you want me to, you might consider listing your LIVING relatives. ^_^ Please put down their gender, age, and family status.

Okay, that should be it. Here's an example for you to follow, if you need it. Expect to see this character in the story. When he shows up, I will expect YOU readers out there to already know him! ^_-!

Name: Kashie Kirazuna (Note: The "sh" in Kashie is pronounced like the "s" in casual) Age: 12 Gender: Male Nation: Confused Nickname: His sister and Dalanette sometimes call him "Kash". Hair Color: Black, kind of spiky. Think of Mega Man's hair in Mega Man Legends. Eye Color: Blue Personality: Can be a punk, and a brat. Watch out for his attitude, he doesn't like to be messed with. He does get along with others just fine though. He's a Libra. He will get extremely pissed and will get mad if you hurt a girl or one of his close friends in front of him. When he's happy, he'll be really sarcastic. When sad, he'll pout about a lot of things, and he's really sensitive. When angry, he'll either throw things at you, or throw you at things. ^_^ Description: When he's in his casual outfit, he likes to wear brown work jeans and dark brown and green shirts, so he can work on his Zoid at any given time. On formal occasions, he'll tidy up what he's wearing, and slap on a pair of PERFECT looking navy blue denim jeans. He'll also worry about his breath a lot. His battle outfit is the same as his casual outfit, except that he wears a dark green long sleeve jacket over it. Likes different flavored milk (chocolate, strawberry, banana, orange, ect.), is 4'11", and weighs 89 lbs. Quite shrimpy. Zoid: ***SLASHBACK SPINO*** This Zoid was a custom Zoid built by his trusty sister who is never around anymore. Is built in the shape of a Spinosaurus, is red with orange and white armor, and golden claws and teeth, and a long and powerful metal tail with an energy cannon at the end. There are two custom-made 15-barrel gatling guns attached to each shoulder, and several hidden mini missiles. This Zoid also contains a "Strike Laser Claw" attack, and a "Spine Strike" attack. Speed isn't the strongest point, the only booster being in the tail. A fairly weak but strong when used right Zoid. ID#: 0115173 Relations: Mother--? Father--? Sister: Runa -(15 ½)-



TAH DAH! Any plot ideas are welcome, also! Please review with your characters/plot ideas, and read the next chapter! I write fast, so I should get the characters in, ASAP! ^_^ Thank you in advance!
