I have a pretty nasty habit of changing this every six months or so, but here's the gist.

-You can call me Grace for short. If I had a more dynamic personality I'd say you can call me "The Rage", but I'm not. So... Grace it is then.

-Also female, she/her, whatever

-Asexual and proud of it

-Focuses way too much on characterization in stories

-Current profile pic is a placeholder. It's an edit I made from the Fossil Fighters manga.

-And speaking of Fossil Fighters, it's one of my "Big Three" favorite franchises along with Mother/Earthbound and Danganronpa

-Also a huge shipper, and yes. Some of them are gay. But that's okay. You can have your pairings, I can have mine and we can all live happily ever after, kapishce

-I apologize if I came off as rude in the above point. I don't know how to read people or my own emotions that well.

-Don't expect much writing since I procrastinate a lot.

The story of my name.

Recently, I've been trying to be a lot more... open; I try to look at everything from multiple angles. However, trying to adopt multiple viewpoints have left me as quite the conflicted human being, always trying to look at every possibility, why people think the way they do. I often find myself doubting my own interests, questioning my validity as a person. As a result, my personality loves to shift. One day I could be the most apathetic person ever. The next, a complete and total emotional mess. When messaging someone else I'll fluctuate between using stock phrases like "Hope you have a good day!" to pouring every thought out of my mind and sPAMMING THE ABSOLUTE HECK OUT OF CAPS-LOCKS.

Ahem.

To make a long story short, the reason I chose this name was because of how perfectly it describes me and my favorite animal, the dragon. The reason I love dragons so much is that there isn't any concrete way to portray them. You have the gold-hoarding western dragons, the benevolent eastern lungs, the villainous wyverns... and even then there's so many ways to draw them-- so many styles. They're like me, always changing. Always donning a different image to satisfy their audience. To me, dragons have a graceful majesty about them, yet have the power to unleash their rage at will. Hence, Graceful Rage: the perfect name to describe dragons and, therefore, me.

...At least that's the explanation I give to impress strangers. To tell you the truth, it's just a Fossil Fighters reference.

Projects for the future...

NOTE: While I do have these projects planned out, don't get your hopes up about all of them ever being posted. Like I said, I procrastinate. A lot.

Verbal Exchanges (Cave Story) - Their connection went deeper than being comrades on a battlefield. QuoteXCurly.

A Melodic Chorus (Mother 1, 2, and 3) - Everyone's heart beats a different melody. One contracts of happiness and another of sorrow. Some are composed of malevolence while others radiate benevolence. Only by distinguishing their various songs can we truly understand the people around us. One-shots centered around the personalities, thoughts and ambitions of the Mother cast.

Ice Breakers (Wings of Fire) - After the Darkstalker incident, Lynx is sent to Sanctuary under orders of Queen Snowfall. She expected for it to be the perfect place to quell her recent worries. Instead, she ended up refueling him them during an unexpected reunion with an IceWing prince.

Hello (Pokepark 2: Wonders Beyond) - Para, a mute Pikachu, always saw himself as an outcast. So when his dear friend Pippy takes him along to Pokepark to start a new life, he's more anxious than ecstatic. However, when a plot involving hypnotic cake thrusts Para away from Pippy's flippers and into the paws of a wannabe hero, he realizes that he must face his fears in order to save his friend (and maybe even the world). But how can one Pokemon do that when it's literally impossible for him to say, "hello"?

And May the Support Effects Be Ever In Your Favor (Fossil Fighters X Hunger Games) - In a world obsessed with paleontology and Roman-style entertainment, the Hunger Cup rules supreme; a high stakes killing game where twenty four (un)lucky tributes gather to replicate the primordial instincts of the dinosaurs they revere. At least that's what the people in charge say, but we all know they want an excuse for bloodshed. Basically a huge writing exercise I may actually end up posting.

Other Half-formed Ideas I have.

- A novelization for the first Fossil Fighters game following the goofball protagonist, Hunter, as he attempts to leave his mark on Vivosaur Island Fossil Academy's history, all while dealing with the shenanigans of his V-Raptor obsessed classmate, a spoiled pinkette with surprisingly low self-esteem, a stegosaurus that acts like a fed-up aunt... Oh, and something involving three people in purple jumpsuits and this blonde girl he insists is his girlfriend.

- Another Fossil Fighters story, this time with an original plot revolving around my dinaurian OC, Tyran and his struggle to survive in the ancient Jurassic period with a rabid Bradycneme.

- Wings of Fire original story about all these characters of mine who are misfits to their respective tribes. Example, a pacifistic SkyWing, which are normally fierce; a carnivorous RainWing when her tribe is mostly vegetarian; an IceWing-SandWing hybrid so she's literally born to be shunned by the higher ups in IceWing society and if you're wondering, no, she's not happy about it. Anyway, they all meet up and that's about when Pyrrhia gets flipped on its head

- Another WoF story, this time about a RainWing, Civet, who takes a dare and walks around a SkyWing market pretending to be one of their own, testing how long it'll take for someone to catch on. The thing is no one catches her. ...In fact the complete opposite happens and she ends up being mistaken for the SkyWing princess, Harpy, who has recently gone missing. Now she needs to maintain her disguise for as long as possible, something not easy to do considering she's part a tribe that until recently had been pretty sheltered from the norms of the world outside their kingdom. (I just realized this is really similar to the plot of a graphic novel called Pandemonium)

- Hmm... I remember wanting to write an AU where Burn found the Talons of Peace's hideout and killed the Dragonets of Destiny while they were still in their eggs. So then the Talons are like, "oh crap. Uh... Does anyone have a Plan B?!" and gathered up the alternate DoD (Fatespeaker, Flame, Viper, Squid, Ochre-- those guys, remember?), and they're the ones who now need to fulfill the prophecy. If I ever wrote this, it'd mirror the original series, having a POV book for each character. Also would be a great excuse to write about my crack ship of FlameXViper.

- Guardian Spirit (Pokemon) - Mystery Dungeon Universe. To the northwest lies the country of Tallys, the sprawling resource capital of the Pokemon World. On its southern shore lies its only official metropolis, surrounded by industrial regions organized into four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue. Willow, a short-tempered Leafeon and infamous warden of the Green Forests, already had insufferable fruit-pickers to deal with on the daily, but then life had to kick her while she's down by having a chivalrous Zorua enter her life. Will she ever get a break? Will he learn to shut his trap and behave like a good little Pokemon? Is Willow the problem here? Will she stop being a ball of continuous hate and grow to cherish this new life that was literally dropped in her backyard? And why is the Tallys queen, Tatiana, nervously glancing towards the north? Their region isn't in danger, right?
(Fun fact: Tallys is a leftover from my Pokepark 2 novelization. The first chapter chronicled its fall and why Para and Pippy had to escape to Pokepark, but I scrapped it since it seemed very out of place from the rest of the narrative.) Originally planned to be a story about a Ralts named Minerva and a Charmander.

- A Leafgreen nuzlocke tribute of sorts where the female MC, Hisako, attempts to capture the legendary Articuno but learns something more.

- I'm very tempted to make a Danganronpa V3: IF of sorts (I'm thinking a good title would be Take II) where the Rantaro Amami enlists the help of Kaede Akamatsu in his plan to expose to mastermind. I'm not planning for a Kaede!Protagonist fic, mostly just the two working behind the scenes to usurp the person who trapped them there (again, that's why it's an IF). Don't plan for it to be very shipping-centric either, but there may be the occasional tease in there of Akamami, Saimatsu... Oumami, why not?! Unfortunately this would probably be something I won't tackle until years from now.

- Another V3 AU where Shuichi's attempts to end the killing game fell on deaf ears. Long story short, Maki Harukawa became the next Ultimate Survivor and now must find a way to end Danganronpa V4 without arousing casualties or suspicion. Plays like a fangan for a few trials, but then veers off course sometime later. Also a brainwashed Keebo is here too. Yay!

- And speaking of fangans, I'm tempted to make one as an unofficial sequel to V3 (I SWEAR I LOVE THE OTHER GAMES TOO) but since those types of stories are so widespread these days, I might either A) wait until the off chance that the hype dies down, B) find a way to advertise it without turning people away, or C) upload some concepts on some other sites or something.

- Since I'm one hundred percent KaedeXShuichiXKokichi trash I'll totally expect to write something for those two ships someday!
