Wow almost a year? Seriously? >.< well happy almost birthday NR sorry ya aren't fully ready to go out in the world ^^;
******************************************
Okay so I've been thinking and kinda revised the plot...a lot...so just tell me what you think? If you liked it before or what think you! ^-^
There are crazy things happening to the city of _____ these strange creatures are turning up nicknamed 'Nightmares' for their power to put people to latch on to people and take over their subconscious, bringing their worst nightmare to life and to run rampet on the town.
Most of these incidents have been isolated and passed off as fainting spells to the general public, since little to no damage is done. However a certain group knows better. They are the Mew Mew's, powerful superhero's bend on stopping these Nightmares and their controller.
Okay so I was thinking all the mews start out good, but Deep Crimson comes up with a few Nightmares that turn a few into Dark Mews, and they help her with her bidding thinking she is right and whatever. But I'd like to wait for her to make her big move for a while so everyone can become friends, so they will really fight to bring the others back *dramatic plot point senses tingling*
Are we going to have aliens in this?
Monsters and Nightmares Again Nightmares are created from people's bad dreams and fear, now they love to prowl at night and collect energy but most times don't become a physical embodiment. I don't know what they look like, possibly some sort of scorpion looking thing, or anything that is creepy I'd think? They latch on and absorb into the person *normally at the back of the head where the part of the brain that stores memories is located* and then a physical opponent is created. Once defeated the Nightmare is forced from the host and subsequently eaten or desentagrated (yall pick)
All of those monsters Haruka-tan thought up are created with the 'Nightmare Energy' Deep Crimson collects from peoples fears. Once there is enough a new monster can be born, also when one is defeated it's remaining energy will be recycled into the next. The Dark Mew's will learn how to create them later.
Deep Crimson wants the 'Phantom Substance'' (new name would possibly be in order) like the Mew Aqua but different and infinitely cooler! She'll use it to make herself more powerful and try to take over the human population with the same stuff she used on the Dark Mews.
What is Phantom Substance: it's a plasma like substance that holds great power, takes a different shape depending on the person who hold it, and can shift into different forms at will. It is intelligent and each has it's own personality. (Think flubber) It's own soul or spirit. Deep Crimson will drain it's energy, remove it's spirit, and recycle it's energy into herself!
Me: *takes a hold of plasma creature and hides it away in bag* dun worry I will protect you! no stay quite were going in (to school) PC: chu~ *rubs against cheeck and hides, peeking out to mimic an undercover agent* chuchuchuuuuu~
The Dark Mew's will be trying to get it for Deep Crimson (though she allows each to have their own at first then makes to steal them from her mew's later on -when they are more powerful) Wow she is sounding worse and worse XD but she is the bad guy so eh, me no feel bad ^-^
So we look for the 'Phantom Energy', while fighting our old friends, and trying to stop Deep Crimson from taking over the world! Oh and having a life, keeping up with school, work, keeping our identities secret, as well as these little creature . . . riiight no problem at all ^^;
[if you want me to elaborate on anything just ask, sorry if it's hard to follow it's 1:16 am here Xp

*spins Ooka around* >W< I loooove that idea! Its got good substance, and it just sounds so cool. ^o^ And since I have some experience in the area of nightmares {one of mews specializes in dreams & nightmares, so I got a few ideas~} Maybe the person 'inhabited' by nightmare doesn't realize it at all, they just think they're in the regular world. But they are really in a dream like state, in their personally hell. Things start off normal, but they jump off the deep end soon, driving the person insane practically. In the actual world, the Nightmare controls the person slightly. It just brings out the worst in the person{aka their worst fear}, basically turning them into blood thirsty monsters. ^-^ I hope thats OK... Keep up the good work everyone!!!!!!! Lets get this thing back on track!!!

weeee~ *is very dizzy and falls over* @w@
Well I was thinking it just knocked them out, but it would take them through their personal hell but they wont fight at all, not even be able to move.
Here's the theory behind this, you know how some insects can secret toxins? Well kind of the same thing here, but like a strong sleeping pill. It allows the person (normally stressed, anxious, angry, ect) to relax and slip into Dream Land, only to, as you put, 'jump off the deep end'
though I do suppose as Deep Violet grows stronger and starts latching on to people that would be a good way to evolve the Nightmares. Have the person in a daze and turning into a cornered animal -becasue they become vicious when cornered. And also a side effect would be they are susceptible to control. And since the Mew's wouldn't dare harm a human (unless absolutely necessary) it's like a huge step up for the bad guys.
and yes BACK ON TRACK!!!

Wow~~~ I vote to disintegrate the things after they've been defeated. For a new name, I suggest "Phantom Clay" although the idea kinda creeps me out. I hate scary things.... >_< Ironic I'm working on this project, ne? ^^; Don't like the blood-thirsty or possessed ideas at all. *shudder* I was thinking more along the lines of Shugo Chara, where most of the time the person just sort of passes out and their X Egg comes out and wreaks havoc on Amu and everyone else. ^^; Additionally, as one of the animators, I strongly suggest toning down the complexity of this thing. Please. Dx> I'm...going to be honest and say what I feel! Okay. I'd rather the enemies I thought up be called "Nightmares" - my idea was that the dark mews would draw the negative energy and fears from people and then use them to create each "Nightmare", each one having its own strengths and weaknesses...so I'm happy you had that stay the same!! ♥ If a lesser form of these creatures were to be included as well, then I would rather...well...I don't really like that whole idea. Um...what about a dark jewel instead of a half-living plasma thing? o__o That would be easier to draw, really.I know I'm being selfish by wanting to make it easier to animate..but it's just that I've got other things to work on, as I'm sure you all do too, and I want to make it easier on us. I know I said to treat it like a professional anime...just...don't make it so complicated. @_@ (For example, we're not going to show elaborate scenes of Sumomo's house...because it's a fancy mansion, orz) I guess the idea of having all the mews start out on the good side is okay...but again, that would take more work to get started. My original thoughts were that the first episode would start at the point in time when Deep Crimson released the first "Nightmare" into the city and it did whatever it did until the Mews and some other people started to figure out what was going on. Sorry for...well...downing your great ideas.... >_< They are nice, I just don't like some of them. Thank you for taking the time to plan out though! We are still in the planning stages so far; it will all come together to make a great anime in the end! And actually....it's so barely related to Tokyo Mew Mew we could remove the "mew" elements and turn it into an OC thing.... >.> (That way we could legally make money off of it. ) OH, speaking of that, I've written new songs for the project and the characters. ^-^ Now each of us (this is also shown in the NR music thread, fyi) will have one character with a lyrical song! AHEM. Anyway. I suppose getting Anime Studio or something would help, ne? Hime-chan has it now. I hope she is able to work with it well. ;3 Also, what is Deep Crimson after? What is her purpose for wanting to obtain all this power? On a side note, I think that deep down she should have a gentle character that is brought out at the very end when she's defeated, but then again, she could also very easily just...vanish. Or die. >.> But yeah, most times the leader wants something like world domination; could Crimson be different? Maybe she wants revenge of the darker world of dreams because of her own fears and insecurities and never feels strong enough to defeat them. Um...I have to go to bed now...um...I'm sorry, again! *gives a quick bow and runs off to bed* Oyasumi nasai!! ♥

*huggles Hime* Its OK Hime-chan, we've all been a bit behind... >O<
OK, so maybe we can find a happy medium with the Nightmares. They don't have to be ultimate bloodthirsty creatures, but they should be somewhat crazed, since this is supposed to be a darker version on Tokyo mew mew, i think... >-< Like, the human is sucked into their nightmare world, and as it gets worst, the worse of a monster they become. SO if they get stopped fast enough, they wouldn't be to much trouble. But if they ran around for long enough, they would become the more bloodthirsty type.
>W< And I like the idea of a half living plasma thing, i think it be cute~ But they don't have to be complex, no wavery edges, just switching forms just when with a different person. And maybe we could make this separate from Tokyo Mew Mew, then we wouldn't have to deal with copyright issues and such...
Anyway, so maybe we should redo the who does what thing again, since it seems the most active memebers are Ooka, haru, Hime & me.... Just an idea~

@haru:
Yea I was thinking of shugo Chara myself! I don't like the idea of the bloodthirsty, I never intended for it to be a darker tokyo mew mew. Honestly I think turning it into an OC work would be better *wanted to say too* since it really has come farther then TMM. Plus then we could make money and such off of it in the future ^_^
About the Crystal, it would be a Sailor Moon rip-off if you think about it. The 'Heart Seed' and all...
Also should we be solely focusing on animating it? I mean it just seems like more time consuming, if we were to get a manga or something out then an anime company could come along and pick it up. Fundimation or someone, besides we should get a hard copy down before we even consider animating something! That is a HUGE job, and like you said we all have a lot on our plates. A couple of minutes could take days to draw up, render, color, edit, piece together, finalize, add sound effects, music, upload...and lets not forget writing a script, voice overs...I'm not saying that we shouldn't but we need to look at this realistically. Coming up with a plot, characters, getting these things finalized is a HUGE endeavor on it's own. This project is on an enormous scale and there are, really, only 4 of us working on this.
Next step, where do we start. My thoughts were that we'd start out like any Magic Girl series when they get their powers. Haruka-tan could you elaborating what you were thinking? I like the idea of just jumping in, would the team of characters (I'll use that instead of mew's encase we decide to go OC) already be formed? We could use a series of flashbacks, conversations, to show how they first came together?
OC time..I can revamp this to include the elements you are looking for, as well as exclude the things you don't like. But what should it be about then, what will our anime revolve around? Would we still have animal parts? Will this be more magic or more realistic? What kind of theme will we be writing to? I'd like an environmental thing if possible?
...I'll try toning things down, promise! I just love...complicated plots XD
*insert anime eye gleam of doom* Haruka-tan I'm glad you asked! Deep Crimson main issue is with her pressious Earth and what the human have done with it. Her dream was to bring both humans and Aliens together, to see the earth green, beautiful, healthy. She doesn't want to rule the world (until she goes mad...) she just wants to educate people and clean the earth up. I see her coming to her senses, dieing, but being reborn as a Human and getting a second chance to change the world.
@razu: I'm sorry but I too am saying no to the blood thirsty thing. I myself don't like that idea, I don't intend to make the humans into monsters, their nightmares manifest into a physical form and their are useless, you know how when you have a bad dream you feel listless and tiered, now multiply that by 10 and you'd be out cold, apply that to here. Also think about this, the good guys would have to attack the humans in order to do that, I don't want to write about that.
*snuggles little plasma things* eh I'll save them for another story, I can already see them getting nulled here, which is fine. We should stick with Haruka's monsters becasue having multiple bad things will be a hassle to draw and to write about.
@hime: dun worry about it hun! We've all been inactive *snuggle* and I am headed to check out your threads, because you and Razu are right we need to see who is still on the project.
I think turning this into an OC project would be great, but TMM is good to keep with. ^-^ Ookami out!

Eeee~ wait for Hime!!
Okay, I'm going do this is sections with mah (worthless XP) opinions~
As for the whole 'blood-thirsty' thing, I agree with Razzu, I thought this was going to be a somewhat darker version on Tokyo Mew Mew. I mean, I don't think it should be blood-thirsty and scary like in Saw or Hostage or anything xDD I do think they should be crazed though =/ Think Elfen Lied, but A LOT toned down and a lot less blood~?
Okay.... Actually wait... I've just read what Ooka wrote about everything. Are we being really naive and unrealistic thinking we can do this... *looks at ground and feels really awful for saying it* ...but... I dunno. There's no way in hell I want to just drop this at all - please don't misunderstand me...
I mean, maybe we should try a few small projects before we do anything drastic... *shrugs* Okay I feel so heartless for even typing this :S Don't be upset, I love this project SOOO mcuh and I want it to be as awesome as possible... Maybe... maybe we should do a really basic project using our OCs, without a paricular story plot, so we can just get used to the whole animation and voice-overing, etc...
Just an idea... Don't hate me :'c I just think we're all so into this, someone needs to stand back and view things from a different perspective =/

*snuggle Hime* no no I never meant to drop the project, never!! I don't want to take any wind out of anyone's sails, I love this project, being apart of something like this is a privilege, and getting to work with such great friends makes it all the more enjoyable.
I duno maybe I shouldn't have said anything at all. *shrug* but I do think we need to keep the enormity of this project in mind. Don't worry Hime-chan no one could ever hate you! I think a series of little projects would be a tester, 'getting our feet wet' so to speak.

*snuggle back* Mew~! Nuuu, I know - neither did I ;-; I just think we need to give this project and our plan a good think~ I'm with this project til the end of course!! ;D I'm glad you did say something Ooka, because I've been having thoughts like that too, and it's good to know I'm not the only one =/ Yush, you are right about the whole enormity thing! Yup! That's exactly what I think we should do~ Here's what I think would be the best way to seriously go about this You've heard of all those Manga groups, CLAMP is an excellent example! I think myself, and Ooka, Haru and Razzu should make ourselves a group similiar - we should have a name, have our own board, instead of using this one where all our ideas and such are public. And then through those boards, we can do a few 'testers' nothing major, and once we've all got used to it, we can really push on with Nightmare Rising. I just think we need a bit of experience, otherwise it's like... trying to compete in a national show-jumping event, when you've only ridden a horse once~ (weird metaphor XPPP) xDD Anyway~ just my suggestion ;D

^o^ I think none of us want to quit this project~ I know I don't, I luffs toooo much!!! XD
And I think trying something with this project on a smaller scale at first would be a good idea, so we can figure out how we can work with each other and such. >W< Then we can move on to larger scale things and such!
Hmmm, I group name.... Forming a Manga group like CLAMP would awesome, but then we need a sweet group name.... Hmmmm And having our own forums would be good, then we could have a some more space to lay out ideas and have people critic our work and such~

Okay cool, glad I'm not the only one then ^-^
Smaller projects will do us good, build our confidence and our expertise on how to do things. Plus by forming a group, getting these projects out there we can establish our name!
A name...hm...well once we start getting into the projects it'll come. It would be sweet to be like CLAMP!!!
But yes our own board would be perfect! We'll each be admin so we can make the board so no one else can come in nor see our ideas! Plus more room would be great!

Wow, there's been a lot of talking going on! I'll have to divide this post into separate parts in order to properly reply to all of this information. Hime-chan!!!! I'm so glad to see you're back on board!!!! *tackle* I missed you. T3T It's quite alright that you had to take a break! ^^ Regarding the Argument of Whether the Project Should Remain an Anime♥ I think it's been decided that we're making this an OC manga. Right? ♥ When I really look at it, I would have to agree with Ooka. While I'm very excited about the whole anime idea, I was basically coming up with everything for the background--the website, organizing the voice acting tryouts and info, the character designs, etc. and I kept feeling like I was trying to pull it off all by myself. This is probably because I am notorious for taking control of projects like this.... >.>;;; I'm sorry. I would feel much more comfortable with a manga at this point; and like Ooka said, an animation company can come along and animate it for us. The good thing is it's already got an original title, "Nightmare Rising", so we're good there. I just have to rework a few things on the website and we're pretty much good to go; aside from the fact that we'll probably have to rework our character designs (for the Mew form) so it doesn't look like it's a TMM rip-off. I hesitate to say this, but...perhaps we could...drop the characters of the participants who aren't being very active...? I mean, just to make things a little easier. If not, I totally understand. I'd rather not drop anyone off...we just need active people, that's all. Regarding the group nameI love this idea! I never thought about that before....what about an acronym? Or something that stands for what we're all about. With our screennames, I don't think the acronym idea would work very well, but you never know. XD Regarding the boardHaving our own board is a lovely idea! I like that we would be able to keep the project mostly secret until release. Regarding the NR manga/starting off small/working with each otherHow about we do 25-30 pages (a minimum of 20), or the first chapter and then make changes until we can figure out the best way we work together. We don't even have to do the WHOLE chapter, just maybe 10 pages of it or something. That way it would still be a step towards the final thing. Plot Regarding the "darkness/bloodthirsty" qualityI'd rather stay away from all that. I agree with Ooka on this point. ^-^ Regarding the Plasma thing/the Crystal idea@ooka: I've never watched Sailor Moon, so I wouldn't have known the similarity. XD; But I'm happy that we won't be using the plasma thing. Thank youuuuuuuuuu!!!! *tight hug* Yes, you can use it another time in one of your own stories/projects. >w< Aww, I so appreciate you deciding to stick with my idea of the "Monsters/Nightmares". It really will make it much easier, and it will be more shoujo-y with them.....because they're kinda like kirema anima....^^; ....in the sense that they're just like poof! made and then the Mews fight them...and they're not really all that scary. ^^ That's what I was aiming for. Regarding Where We StartAs for the point in the manga where we will start the story, (now, this is really starting to actually get exciting again!!!! Yay!!!) I was thinking that the dark Mews--I'll just call them that for now, until we decide on what they'll be called--were already together and the good Mews were recruited through the first few chapters/episodes. The first chapter/episode would start at the point in time when Deep Crimson released the first "Nightmare" into the city and it did whatever it did until the Mews and some other people started to figure out what was going on. And yes, flashbacks and conversations would connote to past happenings relevant to the storyline, such as dark Mews getting roped into Deep Crimson's [needs name change=we can just remove the "Deep" and I think we'll be fine; make her name like Crimson ___ instead] scheme. ~Nya! Regarding the content/plot/charactersIf the plot included an environmental theme, using the animals would be a good idea (stemming again from TMM). I also think it would be a good idea to synchronize our [Mews'] attacks so they all work together. For example, in my Heir to a Melody Mew team, each Mew's attack is made more useful in combination with their compatriots' attacks. Sumomo's attack only immobilizes the foe, which makes her weak for the duration of the time she's stuck playing the flute--vulnerable to attacks. She needs one team member to cover her and another to finish off the enemy she has paralyzed with her flute. Back to the plot. "What will our manga/anime revolve around?" Dreams. Kinda like Shugo Chara! but mixed with Tokyo Mew Mew. I'd like to keep the animal parts, since it's a recurring theme in your stories and Hime-chan's drawings. Perhaps it could go something like, "You have been blessed with the gifts of your most compatible animal...in order to make it through this." More magic, but with plenty of realistic elements....like, you know, school and stuff. The dreams, battles, etc.....need to be more "magic" than realistic, other than physical hand-to-hand combat, of course. What do you mean by "what kind of theme will we be writing to"? Do you mean genre, age level......? Age level would be teenagers, but I'd like for kids to be able to read it without freaking out too. About [Deep Crimson]Okay, okay, that makes sense. ^___^ And maybe the reason she got so corrupted was because no one would listen to her teachings about trying to heal the Earth. Maybe she was a Geography/Science teacher or something on Earth for a time but her words didn't help and so she decided to use the humans' ignorance and negativity against them. She soon lost sight of her goal and ended up just trying to destroy them instead. I like her getting a second chance. I already kinda have an idea of what she'd look like...kinda like a young Hatsune Miku. XD ....... Whew! 12:30 AM here. I should probably get to bed now. Good night all! I love you. *huggles*

And for the break down XD
Regarding the Argument of Whether the Project Should Remain an Anime HAI! *jumps for joy* I had been wanting to bring that up for forever now. AAHHA you and me share the controlling trait, only you have more skills to use ^.~ Don't worry too much about the TMM rip-off thing, I can handle that!
I think yes, we will need to drop the characters of those who are inactive. We need only those who are truly dedicated to this or it wont work!
Regarding the group name and acronym would be fun...but hard to come up with on the spot. Screenname no, not ganna work but maybe the first letter of our real/pen names, middle names, or something we like? But like I said that will figure it's self out along the way!
Regarding the board ^-^ good to know, I can get started on it, it wont have fancy skins and once everyone signs up we can have fun fixing it up, like a new apartment XD
Regarding the NR manga/starting off small/working with each other Maybe a prologue instead of a first chapter? I don't mind I think 25-30 pages will be fun! So I'm up for anything on this!
Plot Shall I put a few new plot ideas together? ^-^ *rubs hands together excitedly*
Regarding the Plasma thing/the Crystal idea You didn't? O.O well...it's epic watch it when you can! XD Yea I got to thinking and you're right it's a bit too much! Trust me I will *snuggle Phantom Clay* May I keep that name? HECK YEA! I love your monsters! Your right they would be more Shoujo-y! Kind of but far enough that no one will catch it! Non scary bad guys *giggle* aw Haruka-chan!!
Regarding Where We Start Since this is going to be an OC story, I agree fully with how this is going! Knowing that my brain is spinning! XD Okay so the first nightmare could be doing damage to public property at night -obsorbing nightmares of the sleeping and growing more powerful. Could it be hitting the labs that Crimson worked at? People who hurt her and drover her mad? Or would that give to much away? (loves keeping secrets from readers) *nods* okay I will be thinking of a new name for Crimson...
Regarding the content/plot/characters *nods enthusiastically* Tis what I was thinking! *nods enthusiastically* Tis what I was thinking! There are a lot of ways this can go, and I like the message we'd be sending! I like that! Think pokemon here for a second, one is stronger than the next but weak to another, they work and balance together. Say a Psyduck used water gun then a Pikachu used thunder bolt, you'd have a devastating effect. Same here, for Sumomo someone with the ability to create a shield would be perfect! (obvious I know but I wanted to use my poke-analogy)
"What will our manga/anime revolve around?" This is where it gets fun!!! I like the idea of this mix! Yes we'd keep the animal theme defiantly! Most compatible animal....lets see could we have an animal counter part? Like the Charas, that are around with us but others who have not been blessed by the spirits can't see them. Our characters can interact with them? Just a suggestion!
School bleck, but necessary. Trust me I will be the realistic police, to a point of course! Eh forget I asked about theme, we've already covered it ^_^
About [Deep Crimson] Yea that's what I was thinking, they all discredited her and wanted to move on to help build the industry and not focusing on a 'cure' for the earths crisis! Over time she found that having people face their fears had a way of opening their eyes and she slowly lost herself! Yea I always believe in second chances, something I like to make present in all my work. Who's Hatsune Miku? The blue haired girl from Volcanoid?
character stuff And with the characters they will need new names, we'll want to do a uniform call for each of them, and matching uniforms or at least with a theme (like the collar, arm bands, and garter in Tokyo mew mew)
I was thinking that maybe the girls get their power through a more natural source, not from human help (like Ryou in TMM) but maybe from the heavens or even another world/dimension. (duno how far out you guys want to go with this? Or perhaps the animals are ready to fight back!
Dark Mew's For these Dark Mew's, will they be normal humans who were corrupted, are they some sort of creation Crimson made that isn't human nor fully animal? I mean we could make them plant based, instead of human based, so they have an odd need for sun light, or fast regeneration, I mean that could be a huge thing right there, have their attacks be natural disasters brought on by global warming, or to taken in Oxygen and release carbondioxid/minoxid, pollen/pollution. Things that could happen if people don't start helping the earth -of course overly exaggerated for magic purposes but still- In the end they could return to an animal state and be powerful ambassadors who watch after everything, or plants in Crimson's 'Second Change Garden' or something, or they could chose to be human, live in human society, and help to help the earth that way? Everyone gets second chance after all.

>D I have an opinion tooooo~
Regarding the Group Name ^-^ I think an acronym would be cool, but our screen names don't really work... {ROHH?!? HHOR?!?!?!? O.o;;} So, our pen/real names would work better, I prutty sure of that. But what would we being trying to spell? >O< Or more likely it just spell something random that turns nice >3
Regarding the Board ^-^ One last thing on the board, when open it, what should we call it? Maybe our group name, what ever that is?
Plot *hands Ooka pen* I'm all ears for a new plot! >O< This plot line has change SO much already....
Regarding the Plasma thing/the Crystal idea I like the name Phantom Clay, I agree on keeping it! Maybe this magical object thingy could be like, uh... Hmmmm. >.>
Regarding Where We Start >W< I am also really happy about this being an OC project!! It opens a ton of doors for us~ And I think the first nightmare should be where Crimson used to work. If the viewers don SO when Nightmares were attacking places, they didn't get why the Nightmares where attacking these places. So slowly they put the pieces together, and discover the true ID of Crimson!! ^0^ Just an idea
Regarding the content/plot/characters ^o^ I like the whole when they join up, they become even more powerful~ And a it does send a nice message!! >W<
"What will our Anime/Manga Revolve Around?" I like the animal your most compatible with idea! So, only the people who had the animal companions could see them, until the person transform into their "mew" form. Then everyone could see them. And maybe, while the animal was just with the person, they where like a cub.... OK, better explanation. EX: Person A has a animal companion that only they can see. This animal {lets a wolf in this example} looks like a wolf cub, but when Person A goes into "mew" form, the animal is full grown. Get it?
About [Deep Crimson] I like the whole crazed teacher idea. Teacher starts off working for a good cause, but loses herself when people just don't get her. ^-^ And she should get a second chance, so at the end of the story, she could become a gardener or something >O< Maybe her gardens could cover where they had their last epic battle or something like that. Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid, just look for her on Google, you'll find her. I kinda agree with her looking like Miku though, but older. I don't think a teacher a teacher would be 16 years old though. >-<
Character Stuff Maybe all their uniforms could be have one unifying element, cause I would like all their different. Cause them all having the same uniforms but different colors, I dislike that >O< So what might a unifying element be? I don't really know who should be the creator of the "mews".... I'm at a lost for that..... ^-^;;
Dark Mew's I like the plant idea~ Like she grew some plants that somehow have human DNA put in them, and a little magic. And maybe when they are finally defeated, they become fully human and live normal lives, not remembering who they are?

Regarding the Argument of Whether the Project Should Remain an AnimeGreat. So it's settled. This will be an OC manga. Nice! Now let's see...Based on what we've already got, and eliminating the anime-related sections, I'll just list out jobs and we'll distribute them among the four of us. Haruka -website -character production sketches [-disclaimers and legal notices-found on website] [-products-found on website] -character design -? Ookami -script -character design -? Hime-chan -character design -? Razuberri -character design -graphics -? Here are the jobs that will need to be evenly distributed among us: Please bear in mind that these jobs will hold different meanings and will probably have different people in the positions once the manga gets published....these are just for organizing purposes right now. ^^; Additional suggestions/points will be appreciated. Credits
Series director - the one in charge of the project. This person is in the leader position. They keep everyone in line and handle major organization, processes, etc. The person nominated for this position must be extremely active with the project and express leadership qualities.
Scenario team - two to three people who are in charge of coming up with scenarios for scenes based on the script. The team can include the script writer and the main artist. The scenario team needs to have some knowledge of art techniques in order to properly plan perspective shots and effective panel layouts.
Storyboard artist- at least one person who sketches out the rough draft images for the manga--this is usually used for anime and in movies, though. This position is entirely optional. The storyboard artist would work with the scenario team and the main artist to produce the manga pages.
Character Design Artist - the one who comes up with the character designs. She makes sure each character's outfits fit his/her personality and don't look weird. XD All of us fulfill this position as of now, but one can be designated for future projects.
Art director - the one in charge of additional images, including but not limited to: posters, novel covers, chapter break illustrations, and side panel mini comics. The art director can also be the main artist.
Toner - the one who handles laying the screentones. The Toner must have a good idea of how colors relate to shades of gray in the screentones, what effects to use when, and (most importantly) how to lay the screentones! This can be done digitally with a program like Manga Studio.
Editor - the one who looks over the semi-finished product and fixes any errors/does touch-ups. The Editor can also make changes along the way wherever she spots an error. (Like typos, two left feet, an incorrect name, confusing panel flow, etc.)
Director of Photography - takes reference pictures as well as pictures of the group while working/playing around. Most pictures will be placed on the website. Some pictures will be used in a fanbook if one is produced.
Executive producer - designated by publishing company.
Producer - designated by publishing company.
Series Organization - designated by publishing company. ♣ We will need to pick one main artist. This artist will be doing the images for the manga as well as most of the additional art. ♣ The secondary artist can do little bonus manga for the back of the novels, side comic strips, additional art, and/or fill in for the main artist if she is unable to make a deadline for any reason. This also frees up the secondary artist to take on another job of her choice, such as Director of Photography or Storyboard Artist. Don't worry, we won't leave anyone out of anything!!! ♥ ♣ We already have our script writer designated. ♣ Graphics can be donated by all of us, so yeah. Official website: (link not provided as of yet because I'm still working on the website! XD I need all your info in order to finish the layout and everything....) Links: Youtube~ www.youtube.com/TMMNightmareRisingTMMPowerRPG Forums~ www.tmmpowerrpg.proboards.comLivestream? Amazon -yes (products) Twitter? RSS Feed -yes (for keeping up-to-date) NR Forums -yes (for us, for now...later, for everyone else too >w<) Livejournal? ...other things? owo;; We will need the following for the website:1) Someone to manage the blog. I can do it if needed, but it'd be nice to have someone blog for me. I will be building the site so it can be logged into and have members and stuff, so yeah, that's how you'll be able to get into the site in order to edit stuff. ^^ 2) Someone to manage the INTERACTIVES section. We will need flash puzzles, dress-up flash games, polls, quizzes, and more. Someone who is good with Flash encoding can build the puzzles and dress-up games. Polls and quizzes can be built by whomever, and the coloring pages and email the characters sections can be managed by me and a volunteer. 3) Other assistance would be appreciated. ♥ Other credits (because I feel like putting them here XD) Idea contribution: Hime-chan, Mrs. Keiichiro Akasaka, Haruka, Chocolate, Ookami, Razuberri, Mew Ringo Title: Haruka Basic story plot: Ookami, Haruka, Hime-chan, Razuberri Characters: Hime-chan, Chocolate, Haruka, Ookami, Razuberri Script written by: Ookami Preparation artwork: Hime-chan, Haruka Graphics: Razuberri, [Haruka] [More credits/info can be added for the anime if needed] Regarding the group nameLike Razu said, maybe it will just end up spelling something that looks nice! XD Firstly, what is everyone's penname? Secondly, we could base it on zodiac/astrological signs. Like, I'm a Scorpio.... My penname is Yuki Suishou, or YS. Regarding the boardUm, hold on...are you talking about a whole new forum? Why not just make a board that holds all the NR threads, make us all moderators, and hide the board from guests and regular members? And we could host it on my forum if needed, since this one already has an overload of boards. ^^; Nevermind. If we make a new forum for NR we can just go ahead and use it for the manga/anime official forums as well. Regarding the NR manga/starting off small/working with each otherLOL I consider prologues in manga to be three pages at most, and basically it's just restating what happens in the first chapter. PlotI think we should finish our character designs and then work them into the plot...I think after our characters are revamped it will be easier to manage the plot. Like we said, we need to make them less Mew-like... Feel free to come up with plot ideas if you want to, though. Regarding the Plasma thing/the Crystal ideaI think that instead of it being an actual thing, why not make it something that is only present in dreams and theory....practically impossible to obtain, like what's believed to be the end of a rainbow? Regarding Where We StartLet's make a list of this: -Just to clarify, we are starting right to left, not left-to right...? (Japanese, not English, right? I'd rather do it right to left.) -We have a three-page introduction or prologue to the story. -The first Nightmare ("Cannon") is going around, doing damage to public property at night, attacking mainly schools, IT-support rooms, labs, and control towers. Yes, it's hitting the labs Crimson worked at, because I like that idea; it makes more sense than just attacking random places. We don't see that it's absorbing nightmares of the sleeping yet, but we get an idea when we see its shadow hover over a sleeping boy before it cuts to the next scene. SPAN: 2-3 pages Regarding the content/plot/charactersExactly! "What will our manga/anime revolve around?"I'd have to say no to the animal counterpart idea because I think it diverts from the theme a bit too much. While it is a cute idea, I think it imitates Shugo Chara! a bit too much and....Idk...maybe next time. ^^ About [Deep Crimson]Exactly! Yep, that's Miku. I was thinking that the reborn Crimson could look kinda like a younger Miku. Or, if she just went back to her teacher position with a renewed vitality, she would look like an older Miku. ^^ Character stuffAgreed, although I don't think we should necessarily change their names. Perhaps three could go to the same school, one could come later, and my character Sumomo could still go to her private school. Idk, we can work that out as we go along. ^^ I love school uniform designing! How about...since the city is star/moon themed, we pull from that? Yes, their henshin outfits ("Mew" form or whatever) will definitely need a new design. Perhaps they can get their powers from a heavenly source...like an angel in charge of people's dreams or something. The angel appears in front of the main character and gives her something that lets her transform, telling her that she will be able to tell who her teammates will be because she'll be able to see the sparkly energy coming from their heart area/the center of their chest. Dark MewsIck! No plant idea, please. Reminds me of that Goosebumps book/movie. X____X I vote for normal humans who were just dragged over to the dark side, like in our original plan. That way there's a story of redemption and the struggle between darkness and light within one's own heart...like Mizukira vs. Hoshiko, her darker self...and with Deep Crimson realizing the error of her ways. QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Q: Will the series director be the same for all titles produced under our group name? A: No. The series director can change per series based on past performance, schedule changes, etc. If you have any questions about the jobs/whatever, just ask.... Additionally... If I could have all the members email me their completed character bios when they're done with them (with or without picture), that would be great. Then I could put the bio on the website and Hime-chan could just put the link to the bio in this thread: tmmpowerrpg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mewmewdiscussion&action=display&thread=1265Older NR threads need to be updated with the newer info. Actually, we should all exchange email addresses, IMs, Twitters, etc. via PM. x.x Did I forget anything? Dx Anyway, this is getting to be really exciting; it's actually taking form and I can't wait to get started on it!!!!! ;D EDIT.// Here are some new forms to fill out:The following form is for group purposes in deciding who gets what job (aside from voting).

Hey, hey, hey~! Wait up, I have views too you know >-<;; Regarding the Group NameYeah you're right, we can't call it 'HHOR' o-O;; My pen name~? Lulu de Silva - but then again, 'de Silva' is my IRL last name and 'Lulu' is my IRL nickname, so I don't know if it counts D: I don't want/need a pename >-< Could I just be Lulu de Silva, please~? >///< But I agree with ya, that pushing the letters together might make something super purrrdy and awesome Oh and my zodiac sign is Aries ^-^ Maybe the first letter of our favourite OC of ours maybe~? Like mine would be 'C' for Celeste - just an idea ^w^; Regarding the BoardAgree with you all A new forum will be great! No idea stealers too *giggle* Plot*nudges plot in Ooka's direction* No pressure, hun ;3 Regarding the Plasma thing/the Crystal ideaI'm still confused about this... >w<;; Ohmy, does this mean we're not doing the Flubber thing~?! D: Awwhh Haha well whatever this is, I'm fine with it ^-^ Regarding Where We StartUhhh,,, still really confused on what's going on here - but I like what I've red from all the posts, so yup~! That's all good :'D Regarding the content/plot/characters Sounds good "What will our Anime/Manga Revolve Around?"I agree with the animal compatibility idea~ And having animal companions - I'm sorta lost-ish still - sorry But I really, really like the whole animal companions thing - and will go on to say more about it :'D About [Deep Crimson]I like the whole crazed teacher idea too! Character StuffWell I'm not sure how this ties in with what you've already said - you must have gathered how confused I am right now xDD;; But regarding where the character got their powers from... Maybe a 'spiritual figure' perhaps from animal world/dimension (or whatever floats ya boat) could send a 'magical' animal companion to each of the 'Mews' and it would be whichever animal they're compatible with and then, then, then... uh... They like, uh, sort of gradually get their powers rubbed off to them by their animal buddies. When I say 'animal companions' I sort of mean like Pikachu is to Ash or Masha is to Ichigo, etc... Just an idea ^w^;; Maybe it's too much~?? Dark Mewslol I kinda really liked the plant idea~ But maybe it's to complez~? And if Haru's uncomfortable using it, then that's perfectly fine *huggles Haru* ^w^ Besides, the Mizukira vs. Hoshiko thing would tie in nicely with the theme then~ WOOOOW!! Haru you've typed loads *faint and applauds ya* Wooowsies >w< :'DDDD Okay... If no one else wants to, I would realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly love to be the Art Director/Main Artist *big, watery, shimmering, pleaful puppy eyes and whines cutely* It would be like a dream come truuuuue ^-^ But if someone else wanted to it.... could we share the role then~? >-<;; Okay, here's my form for Main Artist/Art Director (they're the same, right~?)~ STRENGTHS: I like to think I'm pretty good at drawing hehe ^w^ ;I've had experience working on a Manga before (at Sweatdrop Studios - the UK one that I mentioned one time); I enjoy and will be more than happy to test myself; I work quickly when I set myself to it. WEAKNESSES: Something - well... more than often, I get a little late with deadlines - but I'm ready to turn that around! Sometimes I have to put my exams and school work over my artwork. CURRENT JOB: I don't think I have one xD; =/ OTHER: Not too sure what to put here, but you can find my art here: princess-tarot.deviantart.com/I'm really excited and determined about this project, hence will put all my effort into it! I have access to traditional mediums; Photoshop and a tablet; a scanner, etc... So I'm all prepared to whatever's thrown at me! I hope that's okay... Awh I really wanna do it >->;; Just a few questions for Haru~ if that's okay? You seem to know the most ^w^ - Is it too late to change our Charras~? Or is that acceptable now that we're changing outfits; story; etc... - How should we nominate people~? >w< - THANK YOU FOR THE FORM! Can I PM it to you when I'm done~? C: Ooh and my msn is: princess_tarot@hotmail.com We should take the USA - England time difference into account and arrange a time where we can all go online on MSN and dicuss things properly c:

>W<;; Haru-chan, you made my eyes water from reading all that~ But its OK, I enjoyed the amount of info I got from it, I feel like this project is really moving along!! ^o^
Razuberri's GROUP APPLICATION FORM STRENGTHS: Hmm, I think I'm good at coming up story ideas, and writing stuffs, and in the drawing area I think I'm good with hair & eyes.... And I think I can voice act well, and I think I'm good with music. Thats I can come up with right now. WEAKNESSES: I'm not good at drawing overall, and I can get real lazy >.< And I think I'm hard to work with sometimes... CURRENT JOB: I don't think I have a one >o< OTHER: UH, I really hope this project/group gets to be HUGE!! But, on track I have a tablet, Photoshop, Manga Studio 4, and Garage Band. And as what position I would like, I really don't know.....
*spins everyone around* ^o^ This is getting prutty exciting, at least I think it is~ >3 So lets work hard!
Regarding the Group Name Kay, my pen name is Oliver {insert last name here....} >.>;; I've never really thought about a pen name before, so yeah......... And my sign thingy is Sagittarius. >W< And my favorite OC for the moment {it changes for time to time, how sad} is Aria. I hope that helps.
Character Stuff I really like the idea of 'animal companions' as well. I would like to keep that idea~ I don't think it would be copying anyone at all... I guess getting some help from, some magical figure could be the way to go. Maybe its Mother nature in the form on a mystical lady who give the girls their powers......
Dark Mews Though I think the plant idea is cool, we can tone it down for you Haru-chan! >o< Maybe instead of being plants, they have more plantish powers?

Regarding the Group NameHime-chan=Lulu de Silva (I like it! It fits you. ^^) Haruka=Yuki Suishou Razuberri=Oliver(?) Ookami=Lynn Connor (if I remember correctly) Hime-chan=Aries Haruka=Scorpio Razuberri=Sagittarius Ookami=? Our favorite OC characters change from time to time. For instance, mine was Ai, then Kana, then....many others...and now it's Aka. For that reason, I believe it would be best to stick with unchanging pennames--in other words, change it if you want to now....or forever be stuck with it. ^^; Regarding the Plasma thing/the Crystal ideaNo, we're not using the "flubber" thing. Sorry. "What will our Anime/Manga Revolve Around?"About the animal compatibility...perhaps that could be a bonus comic at the end or something? I just think that it would distract from the original intent of the manga...it's not about being bestowed with animal companions, it's about the nightmares and trying to save the world from the crazy teacher lady. >.> Forgive me if that sounded blunt. .__.;; Character StuffThe "spiritual figure" is pretty much the same thing as the "angel" that I described, so yeah, you're not too far off. Well...if you look at it, with Pikachu and Ash...what's the main focus of the manga/anime? Pokemon. If the Pokemon weren't there, there would be no point to the anime. Masha really isn't seen a whole lot in Ichigo's personal affairs and doesn't get more than a few frames/panels per chapter/episode on average. I just don't want to divert the reader's attention from the heroic goal of the story to cute little companions. That's all. So yeah, I do think it's a little much. Like I said before, a little bonus comic at the end of the manga would be nice for this animal companion idea. It could be called something like... "Nightmare Rising: What Almost Happened" and have the characters as younger kids or something to make it even more cute-like. ^^ Dark MewsI really appreciate that Hime-chan. T_T *hug* @razu: Ano....maybe if Deep Crimson had that type of power alone it would work into the storyline better...but more Earth-elemental-related...not just plants alone. I am applying for lots of things, but I can't do it right now as there is a storm on top of us and I am scared. OWOMy email is mahou_no_ichigo@yahoo.com, fyi. ♥ I'll be back later after to finish my post, mmmk? ^^;OKAY I AM BACK. I think it would be best if we kept our characters the way they are...just changing the "Mew" things like the outfits and attacks and stuff would be required. Nominating people can be done by PMing me. You can't nominate yourself. You can say you would like to have ____ position, but you can't say "I nominate myself for ___". Just because you say you want the position doesn't mean you'll get it OTL .......we are going to vote after the nomination process is complete so please hurry and get those in. You're welcome! Yes, you can either PM or email it to me. (I will need it to be emailed to me anyway) Haruka's GROUP APPLICATION FORMSTRENGTHS: drawing, writing, singing, creating and mixing music, project organization, HTML and website design, graphics; I work well under pressure and I have been the leader in several projects similar to this one before; I can use a variety of mediums including pen, pencil, colored pencil, watercolor, digital art using a tablet and pen tool and digital image editing software; I multitask very well and I'm optimistic! WEAKNESSES: If no one else does much of anything I end up taking the project on myself (notice that this was starting to happen until I called everyone's attention to the fact that it would soon be a year since we started the project) even if I try not to. T_T And um....I'm shy? CURRENT JOB: website development/design/coding, production sketches, songs, plot assistance, organization in multiple areas, cheerleading OTHER: I believe I would be useful to the group in practically all areas. I have access to a HP scanner/printer/copier, Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, Photoshop Elements 6, PaintTool SAI, Corel Painter 11, Garageband, iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, a Blue Snowball Microphone (and I will soon get my piano in the mail in a month or so...) and traditional materials. I have both a PC (Windows XP) and a Mac (OSX Leopard). I am fairly proficient in basic Japanese and have access to tools and materials that would assist in the learning/reading/speaking/translation of said language. I will be getting Manga Studio later on. Of course you know I would like to be the main artist. But again, the results are based on nomination and voting, so I don't know what I'll get. >w< FOR THE NOMINATION-------THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-You will nominate one person per position. -The person you nominate must have skill sets that match the requirements of the position you are nominating them for. -You must not nominate yourself. Series Director Scenario Team (two to three people max) Storyboard Artist (optional) Character Design Artist Art Director Toner Editor Director of Photography Main Artist Secondary Artist

It fits me~? Aww thank, Haru-tan *huggle* Well, it should do~ it's my real name xDD
I see what you mean with the character thing~ But I mean, everyone has one or two character they feel some sort of... connection with, do you know what I mean~? Or am I just too involved with my OCs X3
Anyway~ It was just a suggestion, because the zodiac thing isn't working out so well, I mean - so far, we have: 'ASS' xDD
Um... okies >-< But I still really want to have the animal companions ^o^; Pikachu and Masha were just examples, I never said it would be exactly like that~ >o< And seeing as the 'Mews' will be part-animals~ it kind of helps to carry that side of the story~ But, whatever. That's just want I think...
Okay, but I don't see why it would be a problem changing my characters~ >->; It would probably be easier for me, cuz then I could just type up all their profiles together~
Okies~ I understand that now, thanks Haru-tan ^w^ I'm going to re-fill out my form too~ ^w^

Just what everyone else has been doing I guess - ideas; characters; etc...

You're welcome. LOL. Yeah, I understand that--you're not too involved with them. XD It's just natural. Or SAS. xP With pennames, it's LYOL for first names. Or... LYOL LOYL YOLL (XD) YLOL (lol..................) LOLY (zomg! XD) And for last names: DSOC or DSSOC which would be DOSC DSCO (lol disco!) CODS (lol a fish!) OCSD OCDS CDOS or DSSOC DSOCS CSDOS DOCSS SODSC ......What about KiraKira? ;;; (it's a Japanese onomatopoeic word for "sparkling/shining/glittering" and since we all have sparkly personalities, I think it would fit. XD) I know, I know. xP How about instead of having animal companions follow them around, they can have the ability to interact and communicate with animals in a special way. Like, say a cat is stuck in a tree and scared and won't come down, and a character with cat DNA (Amitie, for example) can talk to the cat by using something like telepathy and calm it down so it can jump into her arms... And then the characters can call upon the animals for help, like if Sumomo ran away (she probably will, knowing her) the characters could call upon their kindred animal to help aid in search efforts. I can design a Nightmare that uses animals as a weapon to further this idea's effectiveness. I understand, and normally I wouldn't have a problem with it; I just don't like changing the characters after they've been chosen for a large project and we've already made stuff that includes them. I mean, I made theme songs for several of them...I'd feel used if you changed your characters now. T_T Can you tell us a little about your experience at Sweatdrop Studios and your other jobs? Not necessarily for the project or your form, but I have a website about all of that stuff and it would be great to add your information there. (Yes, like an interview XDDD) If you want to tell, that is. And you can PM if you like. <3 Your form was filled out spectacularly! Um....I guess the nominations can be sent to me in a PM? ^^; Another thing....about the forum...should I just go ahead and make it or was Ooka going to do that?
