General questions regarding this story, characters, the chapters etc. See the GENERAL FAQ for questions about the site, layouts and other stuff. Feel free to let me know if you have questions you want to add on here and I'll more than likely put them up.

Character Questions THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!

Q. What's the significance of the writing on Miyuki's Terra Brand Sword?
A. The words "Bravery, Strength, and Never Giving up" date back to my Golden Sun Alchemy's Fury fanfic. Miyuki's Terra Brand and Tisiphone Edge both once belonged to her uncle Felix and mother Jenna. She fights her battles using the Weapons that her family once wielded themselves. Miyuki engraved this writing when she was training underground in the destroyed Weyard motivating herself not to quit and keeping faith in her abilities.


Q. It looks like there's a dot on Miyuki's hand. Is that a mole or something?
A. Heh heh, it's actually an artist "imprint" to show that this Character belongs to me. Miyuki's mole on her left hand is a memento of myself xtrinox. (I have the same mole on my hand. XD )


Q. What the heck is wrong with Toumeya? She seems to speak in third person sometimes.
A. Compared to when I drew up the Toumeya incident in Chapter 4 about a few months ago and what I currently draw about her now, I was still deciding on how I was going to illustrate Toumeya's brain condition. I decided to give her a double personality. Because most of her brain was damaged in that accident back in Chapter 3 in GSG Episode 1, her brain goes into lapses where she believes and behaves as a younger other person. This persona is called "Mey", an extremely loud, happy, hyper kid. Keep in mind that Toumeya's actual personality is more serious, sarcastic, and traumatized, very different from Mey. It was bad writing and timing on my part back then so don't pay attention much to Chapter 4 and how she acts in the third person of this story. She's act more of a schizophrenic person in upcoming chapters in GSG EPISODE 1.


Q. Why so much emphasis on Ethan being a pervert. He seems to be a normal growing kid to me?
A. This is more or less based on what you currently seen so far in the story. From what is currently shown in the comic Ethan doesn't really show that much signs of being a pervert, but its a more "behind closed doors" kind of thing that you haven't seen. Ethan has a HUGE collection of naughty magazines mainly composed of half animal girls, normal girls, and all sorts of fantasy entertainment content. When he isn't doing anything like fighting, he is seen always looking at a FLAIR, NEKO PARADISE, or CRUDE NUDE'S magazine. He is always lost in thought fantasizing about some girl in some form or another. Then again it could be a normal thing. XD I'll write up more crazy situations to show his pervosity.


Q. Why does Ethan always have bad luck with Camera's?
A. Ethan explains it in CHAPTER 8. :3


Q. Why does Ethan always have GOOD luck in his card playing?
A. This falls more on the hands of the RPG elements of this story. Think about the LUCK stat you find in RPG games. Usually that stat determines if a characters attacks become critical, whether the player gets a rare item after killing a foe and the like. Ethan has an extremely freakish Luck stat of 100. Usually a common stat for luck is below 20 or something, but his is ONE HUNDRED. He wins his poker or blackjack matches about 80% of the time which is very unusual. In retrospect of his backstory, he saved his gambling friend's business twice because of his luck. Whether or not his luck can be used for other things it remains to be seen.


Q. Is there going to be more information about Garoh and why Tasha is sent on this mission?
A. Actually yes. I plan to have Tasha explain more about Garoh and the Werewolf curse in CHAPTER 11. There's more to what's currently brought up. ^_^


Q. How the heck is Tasha able to enter people's dreams, read a person's feelings AND become a beautiful wolf?
A. She is a special kind of "Adept". Adepts in this story wield magic from the elements of the four lighthouses. The lighthouses have beacons of pure energy of Venus(Earth), Mars(Fire), Jupiter(Wind), and Mercury(Water). Tasha and the people of Garoh get their powers from animals and the moon. Tasha is more gifted in her abilities when compared to the rest of her people. The villagers of Garoh do not fight but just live their lives, trading and farming with nearby towns. Tasha's powers are very powerful and it has something to do with the glow of the moon that is shown on various pages. It enables her more unique abilities like the dreams and feelings reader abilities and her full wolf transformation (the rest of the villagers can only become werewolves). Because of her talents she was recognized and chosen to go out to collect crystals in hopes to save Garoh. More information regarding her mission will be explained in CHAPTER 11 in more detail.

CHAPTER 1: My New Guardian

Q. Are you going to color the pages for Chapter 1?
A. To be honest, I don't know. It is a possibility. The color palette for each character has changed and it will be a nice twist to see early pages with up-to-date color schemes. I'm considering the idea.


Q. How about redoing the pages?
A. This I can openly answer. I am NOT redoing the early pages. The way I see it, its best to leave your progression of founding a story be to see how you've improved all the way from the first page to the 200th page. Simply redoing the entire thing you worked on is time consuming and a waste in my opinion of computer space.


Q. Uh, does Tasha remember Toumeya's.... err outburst in Page 4?
A. Ha ha ha!! I assume so since Tasha is still herself as a wolf. I think she'd be embarrassed and stop breathing if Toumeya brought it up again. XD


Q. Why was there a bear trap and hole dug out in the world?
A. Weyard was populated by monsters way back when, but the monster activity has greatly diminished so that regular animals are being more abundant. Hunters are only acting on how they were trained hunting animals and for game. Tasha and Toumeya were merely innocents caught up in the traps.

CHAPTER 2: Trapped

Q. So does Tasha have like two different bodies when she has wolf ears and a tail? How'd she change clothes so easily?
A. Actually, the form with her with wolf ears and a tail is her actual werewolf form. She has three forms to transform into. Normal Tasha, Werewolf Tasha and "Woofy" Tasha. Werewolf Tasha, she can control her form easily. She's very timid when she's a werewolf so she made it so that the frightening features of her curse namely, the fangs, fur etc are gone but only the tail and ears remain. When she's a full werewolf her appearance may frighten people, so she went with only the ears and tail to make herself look more cute with em on. Her blue outfit, she wears underneath her normal Tasha outfit. "Woofy" Tasha, her clothes merely disappear and return again when she's back to normal or werewolf/cute form.


Q. Any more about Tasha's past story and Garoh?
A. More in CHAPTER 11, so wait for that to come out.


Q. Toumeya crashed a ship? When the heck was this?
A. Find out in GSG BTS EPISODE 2. :p


Q. What happened to Toumeya in Lemuria?
A. See GSG EPISODE 1 CHAPTER 3


Q. Is it me or does Ethan look taller than Toumeya? Wasn't he shorter than her back in EPISODE 1?
A. Ethan goes through a growth spurt when he turns 15. He grows about six inches taller. Basically puberty during GSG EPISODE 1 late Chapters and GSG EPISODE 2. His hair also grows alot faster during this timespan so the speculations of him wearing hair extensions isn't true. XD

CHAPTER 3: Dreams

Q. Eh, does Ethan always have those fantasy dreams like the one at the beginning?
A. Always. :p


Q. Why's Ethan all freaked out when he's around Tasha?
A. Because of what Skye told him. He said Tasha can read and know what a person's feelings are. Ethan overreacted and assumed that Tasha can quickly read what Ethan was thinking. Ethan's erotic dreams of dominatrix Tasha freaked him out because he thinks Tasha will know that he's dreamed of her in that way and be very angry at him. Ethan finally gets it and wants to make a good impression for her.


Q. This is the first time we see Ethan fight. I thought he was an Adept who could use Earth magic. Why is he using Cards to fight?
A. This goes back to Ethan's failed attempts in Alchemy school. He was never a good student and often ditched classes and never gave a good effort so that his own Earth Psynergy never developed at all. Its already late in his Academic life that he dropped out and never went back to Alchemy school once he returned from his first Adventure.


Q. Miyuki mentions taking a waitress job in Page 31. What was that about?
A. Find out in GSG EPISODE 2. :D


Q. So did they really believe Ethan's story in Page 35 and 36?
A. Skye did since he knows Ethan always gets into these messes and isn't surprised. Tasha on the other hand is too freaked to make an assumption. Heh heh.
