Thank you all for spending time with my stories! Constructive criticism and reviews are always welcome and will be appreciated.

Name: Nathan
Age: 23
Where I live: Arkansas. (should be spelled "Arkansaw." And it originally was!)

Hobbies: I am fond of Botany, Star Wars, Lucario and Riolu, the Sonic Universe, nature, reading, drawing, and World War Two weapons.
Favorite music: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Credence Clearwater Revival, Melvins, Alice In Chains, Cavity, Grief, Taproot, Slipknot, Judas Priest, KoЯn, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, 32 Leaves.
"...I don't dislike Metallica or anything, but when placed beside the Melvins... Metallica sounds just like Hannah Montana!"
Listening to: The new Melvins Album! The Melvins are weird because they have been around for 30 years, yet havn't changed their style or faded away. Somehow they managed to become better by refining their style and adding to it... Not many bands can do that. Not many bands last that long, either. Compared to the Melvins, loud "awesome" bands like Killswitch Engage are a bunch of N00BS, still wet behind the ears...

My epics have several key differences from the official Sonic the Hedgehog universe.
First: Shadow the Hedgehog is NOT invincible.
Second: Shadow ages like everyone else.
Third: Shadow is Maria Robotnik's adopted brother.

Work in progress:

A Life Renewed - After "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew." Master and student meet after a thousand years apart. But as time passes in the bizarre afterlife, Lucario feels like something's amiss. Alone until now, they sensed strong sources of aura and came across an entirely new world...

Jackal Chronicles - A lone Riolu stumbles across the Jedi Order and a new life begins...

The Dark Knight - Ugh. I was on a roll, man. Then the move happened, and momentum died with it. I won't let it die, because it has potential!

New Stories:

Cicutoxin - An exceptionally powerful lucario captures the keen eye of the infamous villain, Giovanni! The lucario out of desperation strives for an escape. Hail Giovanni!

Spicy - My lucario character, Fluff, finds a lost and wounded vulpix out in the woods. What will he do?

Firelight - Sequel to Spicy. Fluff tries to bring a new friend home. What will Amber think of that?

Mi amigos! Notheing much to say... People I have bonded to are listed here.
Radman - Clearly a determined writer with talent and wits about him. He and I have grown close on many viewpoints, though not... all of them. XD
Master Metallix - This guy has supported me a great deal in my starting months. I owe it to him. He's a pretty nice guy.
LightDarkandChaos - It started with me reading an impressive story she wrote about a certain lonely black hedgehog... She partly inspired my Fading Shadows story.
Respice Finem - A surprisingly young writer with great talent. She and I share interests for nature and art.
Anna Marcelli Palmer - This Mediterranean lass has been here a short time, but she is improving rapidly. She is friendly and supportive, and always has good suggestions.
