I am Nine Sea Turtles, formerly Mad God 42. I changed my name because that is what I will be using for all my accounts.

I am a writer. You will find my fanfiction at Fanfiction and my originals at Fictionpress.

I am a reader. You will find me at Fanfiction, at Fictionpress, and Wuxiaworld. Although, I am mostly silent.

If you wish to support me, then you will have to wait. I'm still waiting for a few things to finish processing.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my works. Just note that I don't have an update schedule.

Outside of writing, I play games. Mostly strategy, though I do enjoy a vast array of genres.

I also do martial arts. Mostly Traditional Chinese Martial Arts, such as Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, and Baguazhang. Though, I have dabbled in a few others as well, including but not limited to: HEMA, boxing, Taekkyeon.

Quotes that are important to me:

"If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me." - Nameless One.

"Hero? No! We're pirates! I love heroes, but I don't wanna be one! Do you know what heroes are? Say there is a chunk of meat. Pirates will have a banquet and eat it, but heroes will share it with other people. I want all the meat!" - Monkey D. Luffy

"In this world, there's no such thing as "failure" in the first place. The one who knows the "ways to win" more than anyone is also the one who's experienced the most "mistakes". In other words... You could say "failure" is equal to "success"... Couldn't you?" - Toriko

"Ah, shit, a Malkavian. And you ran into Knox, too? You guys must've had quite a conversation. Not a working brain cell between the two of you. Oh well."
- Bertram Tung

"WAAAGH!" - Every Ork ever

"A new arrival! A shame about my Gatekeeper. I'm so happy, I could just tear out your intestines and strangle you with them. I suppose an introduction is in order. I'm Sheogorath, Prince of Madness. And other things. I'm not talking about them. You've probably figured that out by now. Let's hope so. Or we're in real trouble... and out come the intestines. And I skip rope with them! But, perhaps now's not the time. You've made it this far. Farther than anyone else. Well done! Take this trinket of mine. Perhaps it will serve you well. Or look lovely on your corpse. I've been waiting for you, or someone like you, or someone other than you, for some time. I need a champion, and you've got the job. Time to save the Realm! Rescue the damsel! Slay the beast! Or die trying. Your help is required. A change is coming. Everything changes. Even Daedric Princes. Especially Daedric Princes." - Sheogorath

“If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.” - Lao Tzu

“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity” - Sun Tzu

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” - Confucius

"Where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence." - Mohandas Gandhi

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die." - H.P. Lovecraft
