Lost Ninja’s

Hmm so got talking to my mother of all people on the landing at two AM!!! she’d been up trying to get all rabbits (mine too) friends and relations to add her to their facebook things…

So today I thought, bored with Guild Wars lets have a look…

So most people know me by my assumed name: Lost Ninja, I don’t use my ‘real’ name because I don’t like it, and even those who know an old email address (see last post) only know my initials. Not perfect mostly they know my gender too as I use Vent so have to speak. Either way its just JC.

In games, sign-ups etc I always use Lost Ninja (or some form of that) I also use Hilary Campion, as that is Lost Ninja’s secret identity name… but Lost or LN do me fine… sadly Mr Facebook doesn’t like names like that….

So I can sign up with all the pertinent details Jay Cee isn’t my name though and none of my friends are likely to find me using it.

So fricken pointless. *Annoyed*

Sadly due to things beyond my control I ran out of money early this fortnight. (I get £200 a fortnight from the government because I’m sick and unable to work. However quite a bit of the goes straight out on various bills and my rent.)

So Yesterday I parted with £150 in bills, plus a further £30 for food leaving me with approximately £24 (due to how much cash I hadn’t got on the bank when my giro arrived) for the coming two weeks.

Plus since I arrived at my fourth level 50 (Pyroclastic Sarge) I have spent possibly less than 12 hours playing the CoH so my renewal fees (£8.99 x 2 on the 9th) would have been rather superfluous.

Currently I’m planning on being back in the game in a fortnight or so (maybe 4 weeks) giving me time to pay other bills that have gone unpaid due to the severity of this weeks outgoings. However it may well be the case that I am out of the game for a longer period, till i13 probably. Or most likely till I am bored of the competition.

So until then you may contact me through the forums here or through MSN ()

Just so you know, all comments need to be approved by me, using the comments box for page ranking shenanigans and spam is pointless as I won’t approve comments with this sort of link in, at the very least I remove the links prior to approval… more commonly I just delete the comment.

On the back of my earlier post I feel that I have done what I set out to achieve in some ways…

Many moons ago I created a Blaster in the game City of Heroes, to get round a naming issue that stopped me using names that were previously attributed to the main stream comics world I used the name Polyphemus. The name is the name of the Cyclops in the Odyssey (blinded by Ulysses), the original plan was to create a complete rip off of Marvel’s Cyclops, in truth it wouldn’t have been that hard.

However I found two issues in way of my destiny, the first was I hate playing male characters (in CoH anyway) they look ugly and poorly animated, besides I have always wanted to look pretty and now was my chance… The second was that finding a powerset that actually looked like the fictional Cyclops was impossible.

So I went with a close alternative of Energy Blast/Energy Manipulation, I played her a fair bit and did enjoy the game with her, however the beat ended and rather than create a new Nrg/Nrg blaster I went with a scrapper…

Move forward two years (or so) I now have my second Scrapper at 50 (Lost Ninja) Polyphemus has been re-rolled several times though only from one form of blaster to another. I make a Nrg/Devices blaster with the name of Lost Ninja on Union (EU Server), I forget why but managed to level her all the way to 35 before going on a sabbatical… (WoW & EVE)

By the time I logged in again 9+ months had passed, to content updates had happened and character transfer (server to server) had been introduced. I logged into the game played with some of my old characters, did some missions on my Scrapper, created a couple of duos (2 accounts). Then looking around for some new things to do I spotted my level 35 blaster on Union, I was a bit surprised because I hadn’t realised that I had a blaster on Union let alone one at level 35.

I transferred her over to Defiant (my home server), and over the last six weeks I have played her on a regular basis and today I finally got her to the level cap.

But that is not all, way back in i7 or so I created a somewhat FOTY Fire/Kin controller. I liked both sets, had a Kinetic Defender at 39 (at the time) so knew kinetics quite well, besides I had seen them in play and liked their pure damage potential. I created it purely for fun.

Nowadays of course with inventions and salvage Fire/Kin is one of the best setups for drop farming and power-levelling, which I will do!

So today shortly before my eons old Blaster finally hit the big 50 my only slightly less venerable Controller also hit 50.

50s Now:

Lost Ninja - Dark Melee / Regeneration / Body Mastery

Pyroclastic Flower - Fire Control / Kinetics / Psi Mastery

Polyphemus - Energy Blast / Devices / Force Mastery

To the left in red is Pyroclastic Flower, to the right in blue is Polyphemus.

This is the deal see, I live with my parents, I have little choice because due to ill health I am unable to hold a job. Now where I live there is frankly shoddy internet access. I actually connect to the internet through a WiFi mesh system, which is bad at the best of times. But due to setup of the underlying organisation I am unable to have my own connection I must share the houses connection.

And now it seems that even that will be impossible, frankly I don’t know what will give next, my mind or my will but with no internet access I will have no access to any friends, no access to my hobbies and limited access to the places I shop. To be frank the whole thing sucks.

I have gone from looking forward to life slightly again back into the morass of depression. I hate my life.

This could well be my last post, no access = no updates = no reason to continue to pay for this site.

Well I have to say, the windows live services have left me cold before now. I do use messenger but that was all…

However I just updated it and on whim installed the writer tool, it lets you update your weblog remotely…

Now I have a self hosted version of wordpress, it means simply that I can control the whole thing, not just what it looks like etc. I wasn’t TBH expecting this new program to be able to interface or if it did so it would do so imperfectly…

Needless to say that’s not the case, which hopefully will mean not only wil updates to this blog be easier but also more common.

Well posting this from my local cafe/internet access point, which is great with a great deal of luck I might get a laptop so I can use my own software but for now its IE6 and I had forgotten how absolutly awful it was. Off now I can’t cope with it.

Sadly not the sort that pays a wage, would be nice if it did.

No I have been working on some stuff, first part of that should have its first showing in the not too distant future, its a multi part fan fic for the Whateley Academy Universe, it concerns several of my own characters at the moment I plan on getting their journeys to Whateley sorted out in detail before I post the first parts. But I have concluded the first part of one story and am working on part 2, I have also written some of two more characters and have three characters planned in some detail.

The leader of my team is an extremely powerful psychic, she can control tens of thousands of people at once… which leads to issues if she were to say ‘fuck me’ in a crowded room. Her power stems from the ability to give oice commands that all but the most powerful feel unable to resist. Its the sort of power that evil masterminds would die for luckily Karin is a good gal…

Cleo was bred in a lab deep under Sierra Nevada in a secret non-governmental research facility. Part of a program to creat the perfect anti-mutant mutant he is now on the run, MCO would dearly like to get their hands on him as would his Syndicate creators, and I doubt Humanity First would say no if they could do him in. To his advantage he is an almost perfect fighting machine… disadvantages include: cannibalism , no human feelings, no fear, no life skills and looking like a cute teen.

Josie is a cute teen although bearing in mind the sort of thing that happens on a routine basis in Whateley she wasn’t always. Now given the power of an ancient entity that predates the fey, she has been tasked to warn the upstart humans that the Bastard is not the only ancient power that is looking forward to the future with bated breath. Some of these ancient powers make the Great Old Ones look like puling infants.

Lastly (though I have one or two others who may make the grade) Toxicity has been going through something of a rewrite, no longer stealthy he has become something far closer akin to the Heorot Dragons of legend (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legacy_of_Heorot). However all is not well for our hero as he’s currently at the mercy of MCO who want to capture his parents (also mutants) who have, they say, broken several laws.

The other thing I have been working on is a very basic dynamic (php/mysql) website that will function on very low spec browsers, in my case I’m trying to make it function in the In Game Browser that is used in EVE:Online, I’ve had some success though also some issues, its not quite ready for release, but I hope that I can finish that in the not too distant future.

Elsewhere it seems my creditors don’t want to make me bankrupt and thus they have given me longer to win the lottery… Wish they’d make their minds up.

Couple of things updated, I rebuilt the forums as they broke a while back. Now running the final version of phpBB3.

I also have added a section detailing my dual-boxing uberness… sort of,click on the Forums tab above and look in games/world of warcraft.

Added a forums tab to this style which I think will remain as my main theme for now, though I am looking for a theme that works with both phpBB3 and wordpress.

In other news it looks like my creditors are finally going to make me bankrupt,  while having my debts cleared is something I look forward to it probably means losing all the things I have in storage, for which I owe money on anyway, which sucks in a big way but with my current income I can’t afford to pay for things I need to do let alone pay anything toward what I owe.

If I do go bankrupt I’m not sure what happens, so this site might disappear until I’m back on my feet again. TBH I’m scared stupid by the whole thing and currently I’m feeling very low as a result. The end result, providing I get that far, should be a debt free future.

Our family’s faithful springer spaniel was put down last night, he had complete liver failure and while we could have tried dialysis, we felt it would be unfair on him. He was thirteen and apart from the last year since we lost his companion he has had a happy life. And even in the year since Duster died he has had his moments. He still enjoyed his evening walks, though he was nearly blind and deaf.

Rest In Peace faithful friend.

	Feather and Duster	Feather again.
