Hello everyone~!~!~!
It's me~ MARI-
Sorry, sorry, sorry. I won't do it again.
I really wanted to write this fic for my sake. I've always dreamed of historical figures from different nations and different timelines to meet each other and fight off bad guys hailing from a fantasy world. I couldn't believe my luck when I found out that there was somebody who had a similar mind as mine who had the skills and time to make a manga out of it, and turn it into an anime. Who knew it would be the guy who made 'Hellsing'. Heh...
So Drifters... an anime where a black haired, bad tempered girl who sleeps in cute PJs fighting with a middle aged man who obviously has lung cancer and a lack of humor.
Using historical figures.
...
...
...
Oh and the girl for some reason can give superpowers to her players while the guy with the newspaper can't. And the bad guys are too OP that even Oda admits it.
...
Shit.
So, for the new Drifters, those five are going to be it. I'm not accepting any more historical figures, what is decided is decided. And yes, this fic will include all of the original Drifters and all the original Ends from the manga/anime. As for the Ends... Well, I have firmly decided two historical figures and contemplating on one historical figure to become the Ends but I will consider of having one more Ends from the people around me. So reviewers. Please do your best and tell me any poor historical figure who has a lot of chances to lose their insanity during their lives and becoming an Ends. Your hard work will be very much helpful to mine. And all hail the great google translator even though it isn't 100% perfect.
And don't forget to leave REVIEWS! And fav and follow too for good measure.
See yah~!
P.S. At first I was considering of putting Leonardo da Vinchi instead of Benjamin Franklin, but meh. Benjamin Franklin is cool enough.
P.P.S. Poor Joan. I couldn't imagine how hurtful it is to die burning, or being treated as a woman and spared alive after facing a humiliating defeat.
P.P.P.S. Is it only me or am I the only one to find Anastasia to be alluring and beautiful? Seriously, why are all Anastasias in all animations beautiful?!
