Recently, a buddy of mine has been trying to worm a book he's been writing into my life. He calls it Realm, and has been bugging for me to announce for a while now. We'll post it a few chapters whether you will like this book or not, and if you like the book, we'll post more, and more... and maybe, just maybe, even more... and we could introduce the what the back of the book would look like, and then our gloriously glamourous characters next post! Sit back and enjoy your preview, sirs!

It's an unknown year, a time of chaos, despair, and an unfortunate lack of waffles. Well, fine, the last isn't quite as important, but waffles are still scarce. So, in such a perilous time, three heroes, Hephatitus Scrawnybass, Aikai Gunshin, and Jo. From the three different realms, these three heroes converge, to attempt to create peace among the realms. From AG's finest, we present:
(insert giant underlined bolded italiced print with fireworks, guns, samurai, ninjas in 3D) This. Is. REALM!

... Err... let me rephrase one part:

So, in such a perilous time, three heroes, Hephatitus Scrawnybass, Aikai Gunshin, and Jo set out on a dangerous quest, somewhat unknown, extremely important, and which a requirment of being able to tolerate my narraration.

Sorry. I type too fast. :I

And know for details on our belovedly beguiling characters, shall we?

Hephatitus Scrawnybass
Hephatitus has a father, who was a brave commander, and in about 162 fights, he'd never lost a fight. So Hephatitus was supposed to live up to his father's name... and failed miserably. Exiled by lack of hope, Hephatitus set out on his own quest, attempted to gain some dignity and valiance.
A quest around the realms...

Aikai Gunshin
Aikai is a shifty character that none would describe the same way. This is why you'll all disagree with me here, and I really don't mind that. I'll tell you how I see, you tell me why I'm wrong. Aikai is descended of royal blood, and also of normal blood. Left tainted, Aikai was kept hidden from the world. In these wartorn times, Aikai needs to escape everything and everyone. If you ask Aikai himself, he'd say he's a ladies' man, who's just in it for the fun of it.Light-hearted jolly good man, he is! And his light-heartedness carried him away, so that he would traverse to another realm. Where might he go...

Jo
If AIkai is unknown, Jo's off the face of whatever planet name they've decided to call this thing. Jo is a rouge soldier, sent to the military but has snaked his way around pretty much anything thrown at him. He's found his way out to the open roads, and ravels along, far enough to the edge of the realm, where no rogue has gone before...
And that's a good enough tease methinks. Be on the lookout for the next post, which could be more characters, or potentially the first chapter! We'll see you then. Tally ho!

Sounds ridiculous in a good way. Like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, only... Different. Looking forward to reading more of this.

About that poster: It's thiiiis close to being finished. About right now: It's time to truly note what's up with the realms themselves. So, without further ado...
Viking's Battalion
The Vikings are valiant, brave, fearless warriors. It's a miracle if ou can hold back even one of their deadly blows, it was once said. Now, Vikings are attempting to hold off monsters, unknown to them. Hephatitus is being thrown in the middle of this, and is simply confused. "How did they even get here!?! Nobody seemed to be asking that!" He told me.
The Samurai Legion
The Samurai are noble, loyal, and are always going for glory. Their tactics are nearly unstoppable, though they've been defeated many times. However, a trickle of monsters has entered parts of their turf. A bewildered, on-the-run Aikai sets out, only to be blocked in his tracks. "Whatever happened there, I've got no idea. It felt ike the world had a seismic anti-quake of sorts and brought monstrous lands withit an arm's length of us."
The Ninja Regiment
Ninjas are stealhty, agile, and keen to defeat their enemy in any way possible. As the old and wise said, there's near no chance of catching one of these guys and have you and the other ten guys you'd need to catch him all alive in the end. Recently, the ninja's found little beasts running around their camp, fast as them: and oh, boy, were they scared. Jo attempted to kill a few himself. "This things were crazy. Whatever else the ywere, they were bloody, heartbreaking killers at heart."
Improsonia
The land of monsters that none truly know of, Imprisonia could easily be the worst vacation destination of all time. A breeding ground for the devilish beasts running amok in the realms, Imprisonia is run simply on evil power. Now that the monsters of here are unleashed, nothing will ever be the same again.
Isle of the Ancient Mariner
Among all of the realms, there is an island smack dab in the middle. This is my island, the Isle of the Ancient Mariner. But I reccomend you don't stay long: every few years, giant bug things crawl out of the ground. They're huge, almost never die, and make extremely good armor. There's swarms of the things. Then there's ghost pirates, the reason my father's dead. None truly know about this island, as our traveling group (recently reduced to me) came here by accident. I've lived alone for the past 9 years on this island. It's not easy.

And, yet again, we leave you at that. See you around the... err... what were you again? (Leave your personal thoughts about who you could be below: Samurai, Viking, or Ninja!)

This background info all sounds cool, but I'd rather have the chapters to read. Don't tell me your character's a hero, show me.
