![]() Haha oh I don't even know where to begin on me or how I might describe myself to any and all who visit my profile. You may be coming here because of a story I've written or am in the process of writing. Perhaps that isn't quite it either, maybe I sent you a message or wrote your story a review. It doesn't matter why you are here or how you came to join us I suppose and allow me to say welcome and I'm very pleased you could stop by. Ok I think I've prattled on with that intro long enough when I'm sure I should be talking about myself, my interests, and an explanation on why LightPhantom742 will be at the bottom. Well I'm a 22 yr old male currently in college who enjoys spending time with friends, movies, anime, video games, books, and of course fanfiction. My anime interests are quite varied and include quite a few different shows. For a complete list of what I've seen I have that for you here. Video game wise I tend to favor RPGs such as Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, or Tales as well as Action Adventure titles such as Tomb Raider, Uncharted, and others. That isn't to say I'm limited to just those genres as I have a vast collection and interest in video games. For fics I'm heavily into Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy XIII stories. Riku and Sora have to be my favorite pairing from video games which is probably quite obvious from my fav stories. I've been reading more Final Fantasy XIII fics lately though which has been either Hope with Lightning or Snow. I identify with Lightning quite a bit hence my profile image and Light in my name. Also, you may notice that Hope kind of continues with my trend of adoring couples that have a white or silver haired person involved. I don't know why but I just love that quality to them, probably because it looks cool to me and transcends the norm for people of their age in real life. For books I've read and enjoyed several of the recent teen novel crazes such as Twilight, The Host, Hunger Games, the Inheritance series, and Mortal Instruments. Other series I enjoy are the Women of the Otherworld, Chronicles of the Necromancer, the Night Angel Trilogy, and most recently the Song of Ice and Fire series which I'm currently reading. I'm almost through the first book. I've read quite a few fics written from the teen novel series, chief among them being Twilight with Jacob and Seth as my primary and almost exclusive pairing for reading from the series. I just adore them together and it seems so right. I'm not sure what else to say about my interests and I don't want to prattle on so I'll end this by saying what I hope to come in the future for me, this profile, and my writing endeavors. I currently have no stories posted to this site but I'm working on writing a few stories and I'm really hoping to focus more on developing those and posting them in the near future. I currently have a Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy crossover in the works which will combine many aspects of the Kingdom Hearts franchise and the Final Fantasy franchise, predominantly with a focus on Final Fantasys' VII, X, and XIII. The story will feature multiple pairings but the main pairing is to be Sora and Riku. I have a few other ideas for stories but for now I'm like to upload a few chapters of this story first. Besides my writing endeavors I hope to create a unified identity for myself across several websites and mediums. I'm hoping to start doing some vlogging in the near future or possibly do cover songs. Not really quite sure but I want to get into making videos on Youtube. I've just been inspired by so many youtubers, especially gay youtubers who's videos helped me to better accept myself, and I want to get into posting videos as well. I currently have a unified presence across Youtube, Xbox Live, PSN, MyAnimeList, PSN Profiles, and here as LightPhantom742. I guess that's everything I want to say for now. If you have a question for me, want to know more about me, or simply want to chat feel free to message me on here or any of my other sites, though I'd recommend doing it here since I know the message system on here better lol Also, I'm hoping to add LightPhantom742 to Gamespot and possibly Twitter/Facebook should I start to get some kind of following on Youtube though I'm sure that won't be for awhile if ever. Breaking down my name: LightPhantom742. Light- It comes primarily from the Final Fantasy XIII character, Lightning. I have gravitated towards and identify with her character on a very personal level. I've completed all the XIII games available to me at least twice if not more and she puts on this facade of being a strong, independent individual who doesn't show emotion or need to concern herself with others. As time goes by she comes to relate and understand the people who have come into her life and to show compassion or caring for these people isn't a sign of weakness. Being bipolar and dealing with depression I often feel as though I'm putting up a front of someone who is happy or nonchalant. Maybe instead I should say I'm quite reserved and untrusting when meeting new people but over time I can open up to them and they can see the real me. Ok I know this all sounds like a really crap reason for trying to explain why I think I relate to Lightning but in the end whatever, I like her character and feel that she is someone I am like and in some respects can aspire to be more like, particular in the areas of strength. Phantom- This primarily comes from the anime Requiem for the Phantom. I first took up the name LightPhantom742 as a gaming username on my various profiles and I wanted a name with meaning but one that could also show strength or proficiency as a gamer. For those of you unfamiliar with the anime in follows a traveler who's memories and identity have been taken from him in the efforts to train him to be a Phantom, the title given to the top sniper and assassin within the organization Inferno, a sort of United Nations of the crime underworld. There is a lot more involved in that show but I'm bad with summaries and don't want to give anything away for those who haven't seen it and may want to. It was also my first adult anime out of my pokemon/sailor moon/digimon/naruto childhood and remains one of my favorite anime. Duality- I didn't quite notice this until later but when creating my name I had in effect captured another aspect of myself that both affects me as an individual and influences the choices I make on a daily basis. As I've grown up and the expansion of the Kingdom Hearts universe I've identified with the character of Roxas and his symbol. He is the nobody of Sora, almost like the shadow or phantom of Sora if you will. He doesn't know what his purpose in life is or what he should be doing and instead finds solace in friends. His symbol looks similar to an X for those who might be unfamiliar with it and I personally have taken this on as a personal sigil. I have read and I view the symbol as the intersection of Light and Darkness. In the case of my name Phantom is known as a figure in shadow or darkness. This intersection, this duality represents me dealing with the happy and depressed states of my bipolar condition as well as a reminder for me in everyday life. The decisions I make and who I choose to be can be for the betterment of myself and others in the Light or for selfish and greedy ends that could bring harm to others in the Darkness. You may say I'm far reaching in this but its the meaning I find in the name I give myself. 742- For whatever reason just growing up when given the option to choose a number it has always been 2, 4, or 7 and now I use these 3 numbers in different combinations for many of my devices or accounts. I choose 742 simply because it is descending order and I feel it sounds the best if you are to say the numbers in this order. I don't know why. I also just realized if I were trying to find some meaning or semblance to how I ordered them it's 24/7 backwards though I have no meaning or significance to give to that as of yet. From all of this I am LightPhantom742, as I've said feel free to message me or look me up in any of my other mentioned locations. |
