Loudmouthed punk... Loving girl... Clever investigator... Wierd kid... Tough girl... Virtual Gamer...
Stop it there, Debarko! I vividly remember telling you last week I'm not going to answer this crud again. Perhaps if you had worked more days than gone on vacation, you would know I do not change my stand on anything, and that goes especially for trite like this. I don't care how much that one dumb group of clientele is pressing this. We are a multi-million dollar business and we stay that way by catering to the major populace, not whiny little 'clubs' that can't get their way. Little boys like robot action figures, little girls don't, little girls like dress up dolls, little boys don't, so what... what would be the point of making doll clothes for robot action figures? Even if the little girls were tomboy they wouldn't be interested in dressing up robots. As a matter of fact, why would robots need clothes anyway? They're robots! So would you just shove a wooden sign down their throat saying 'We're never going to do something their stupid request'?

.................

-sigh- Alright. Look, just weather their calls. That's what we hired you for. They're bound to get bored eventually and they'll move on.... Just don't forward every stupid call you get to me, I'm busy enough as it is, and it's your job as... -glances over shoulder to take note of a visitor- Ugh... Just follow the advice, don't call me again until it IS important, and get security on the confused protesters outside, I think they're starting to throw mud or something at our windows. -click-


Hm. I apologize for the inconvenience. It seems today is another one of those wonderful days where the public idiocy flourishes.... But I suppose I'll have to put that aside for the moment. You're here for a bit of information, correct? Information about me... and the Kizonu corporation. Hmph. -smirk- I hope you acknowledge how special it is that you're getting this information. My life and certain past Kizonu operations are usually none of other people's business except for those involved. So, as I'll put it simply, don't waste my time.

Starting by formalities, you should know me as Seto Samu, the CEO of Kizonu Technologies. I've been covered in the media a bit, sometimes as a genius breaking down the 4th barrier of technologic discovery, other times as a heartless corporate machine destroying jobs and lives. Whichever side you believe, keep in mind I'm the one narrating this story, and I think you'll find a lot about me that doesn't come in a 'Today' magazine. Still, I guess they do cover the basics. I am surprisingly young for my success. At age 19, I already run a successful company that deals in technologic goods, from security systems to children's toys. And I do come up with a lot of products that revolutionize the world. Still, all you know about me is at face value. To be honest, I actually think you should be satisfied with just that because beyond my fame and glory, I'm not somebody you'd hang out with.

I suppose it was obvious from the start, but I don't see the need to associate myself with people beyond a work relationship. I'll socialize when it's expected from me, but after the formal business parties and meetings are through, I don't expect anybody at my doorstep for a sleepover. Just the way it should stay. However, there have been a few people to get close to me. I can't explain how they did it, and they irritate me regardless, but something about them is... Gugh! You know what? You can figure it out later. This section is about me and the point is I don't like people. If it came down between myself and you, I'd choose myself.

Heh heh, I bet you're thinking I'm pretty cold now for saying that, and you're right, I am. However, even though I don't care much for people and am the CEO of a company known for turning competition belly up, I'm not exactly an evil guy. The corporate world is dog-eat-dog and I do what I do stay on top of it. Ask any of my employees and they'll admit past my fierceness, I'm loyal to all the people who have helped me get this far. Frankly, there's people much worse than I am, many that aren't even in this game. Of course, you probably wouldn't even want to think about that would you? Look, I'm not denying that I'm an unfriendly guy, I can be nasty when I want to be. Still, I have values that I follow, values that I believe separate men from dogs. Perhaps you could call it a code of honor.

-sigh- And above all that, I'm not a stress-loving workaholic robot either. I'm sure this must come off as a surprise, but yes, I do enjoy weekends lounging around and playing video games with Koba. Occasionally, I'll go for walks to clear my mind (much to the complaint of Demi, who believes I'm going to be kidnapped by terrorists or something) and when I can, I enjoy some time at one of city's many local game places. I have a life like everybody else. Admittedly, mine may be more luxurious than most, but I do have one.

One last thing before we move on however. For the idiots who can't tell the difference, I'm not arrogant, I simply acknowledge my high position in society.




Now that you've gotten to know who I am, you seem to be interested in knowing what I like and despise. I have to admit that's a smart decision coming from you. You don't exactly want to be getting on my bad side while you're here, now do you. Still, at the same time, I wouldn't recommend taking this information as leverage in trying to butter me up. I can see insincere chumminess a mile away, and guess what, I don't like it.

Dragons: In general, I've always found reptiles to be supreme animals. Dragons however... Heh, they have topped the cake since I was little. They had crushing power, the ability to fly, and of course, the choice to unleash a raging inferno on those who dared to oppose them. When I was a kid, I remember always wanting to grow up to be one. I guess you could say, seeing as I'm a draik, that I've succeeded.

Weakness: The state of being powerless, vulnerable to other people's whim... it sickens me. Of course, I rarely have to worry about it anymore, but it's always there, lingering above my head and poking me like some doll when it feels like it.

Laser Tag/Paintball: Laser tag and paint ball... fun tactical games that not only relieve stress from an intense day's work, but provide the enjoyment of thoroughly bringing down your opponents one by one... with fake ammo. Laser tag is slightly superior though. It's nowhere near as messy, there's less gear, less room for losers to play foul, and much more flexible play... Unfortunately, seeing paint splash out when you hit somebody is something laser tag just can't replicate.... Something, I'll have to fix sometime.

Clowns: Yes, I hate clowns, but before you open your ignorant mouth, it is not because I'm afraid of them like some idiots. As a matter of fact, I don't see why anybody would be afraid of them. They're nothing more than losers who can't keep a real job, so they make money by globbing makeup all over their face and calling it hilarious. That's not funny, that's not scary, that's pathetic.

Baths: Do I have to ask why you're looking at me like that? I have legitimate reasons for enjoying a soak in warm water with suds, cinnamon scented bath beads, and rubber whales. They just have appeared to have escaped your mental grasp... ... ... ... ... ... Forget everything I just said... now.

Camping: Hey, Geo-vomit, let's throw away everything that makes life livable for a few days and go live like cavemen. We can be eaten alive by bugs, bathe in leech infested waters, and sleep on rocks while freezing to death. I'll even let you enjoy my amazing kazoo remix of Camptown Races. Actually, how about we even stay a few more weeks since I'll lose our primitive paper map while hiking. It will be so much fun!

Games: Apparently you believed that, because I have the position I do, I don't have fun? Idiot. It's true I spend much of my day inventing and running Kizonu tech, but I'm an avid fan of games, particularly strategy. I don't really mind the platform either. Chess is just as enjoyable on a board as online_ I have to admit however, I occasionally prefer online gaming so I can crush people who have no idea what they're facing... Everybody here seems to be surprisingly busy when I want to play my favorite games against them.

Work Roughpoints: Funny, huh? But being the president of a company isn't only riches and ordering people a around. For example, because you cheated your way into riches, Stuffy the IV thinks you're a mannerless, incompetent, faker. Oh, but he still wants that security system by next week. Also, one of your partnerships needs an idea for the next hip and trendy new toy. Oh wait, you're kind of a kid, so you must obviously know what they're into. Don't hog all those good ideas for Kizonu, we had a deal you selfish brat! Ugh...




Look, I'll get to my house later. In case you didn't notice, mansions are kind of... big... with a lot of rooms to explain. Not good that it does you either since I the floor plans of my house haven't come in yet. -glares at Keruha-



I can't tell you how much I hate to admit it. You're probably looking at me as somebody who could do their times tables at 6 months old and calculus by first grade. And that's what I like to believe too, that I was simply chosen upon birth to bear immaculate intellegence. Honestly though, the IQ I have was never my own and it was never spotless. I started out like everybody else, Bs and Cs in first grade, a mental capacity debating only which Robo Cat was stronger, and watching saturday morning cartoons without noticing their glaring cheesiness. I could also skip and swim back then too. What happened? I got lucky... or unlucky, depending how you take it.


If there was one thing I should have known at the beginning of my life…

It was to never…

never…

EVER…

trust the big kids down the block.

With my face flat down in the mud, I could hear them speed away, laughing like baboons. Ahead of me, thunderous stomps were shaking an ancient house, and a voice, so incredibly terrifying, so yearning for blood, was screeching out a shattered -blocked- Before I could think, my heart was sent into a panic as the thing drew closer and closer to the door. The wicked old witch of urban legend had been awakened, and she was hungry for vengeance.

My clothes were soiled and my mind was just as muddy. This was only five-year-old me, scared and alone. I wanted to get up and run away, but a spell of fear held me to the ground like a brick. I felt my heart racing, banging and fighting against my ribcage. My mind was screaming. What am I going to do? Then it happened so fast, like a bullet. The witch came bursting out of the house, shrieking. DISGUSTING ROTTEN LITTLE COCKROACHES! Rotten to the core! The gremlin-kin will round you all up! ROUND YOU ALL UP!

Every part of my body froze up. It was as if I could turn invisible by playing dead, but the tears were coming on. The hag was just as horrible as the tales said she was. Her entire body was reeking with the decay of age, skeleton thin, and drabbed in filthy worn clothes, and although she was several meters away, I could smell her, a reek of death that I'll never forget.

They're going to pick out your eyeballs, bite out your tongues, and feed you to their pet basilisk, they will! And you'll never see-

At last, the moment I had been dreading. Her face gnarled, and although she didn't have many teeth, they all seemed to sharpen at the sight of me. You… she hissed, pointing her bony finger straight at me. I began to struggle up, but the closer I got to escape, the easier it came to fall back down. She was heading for me, a ghost over the dead lawn, nails sharpened and teeth gnashing for flesh. The longer I took to get up, the closer she came. I was ready to escape, I was ready to be free, but not a second later did I realize it was too late. Pain pierced my shoulder as the witch clutched me with her sharp filthy nails. Before I knew it, I was yanked around to see her fearsome stare. YOU! she screeched.


Hm... Not the happiest of upbringings, but I better not see you begin to pity me. At least I got something out of my years of pain and struggle, and I'm not one to look back. You know who I am and I have no regrets.



Family... I don't exactly have one anymore. Well, according to Manth and Koba, I do, with all their cheesy speeches about true family isn't blood related. The truth is though, as you have read in my story (I assume you weren't skipping over it -narrows eyes-), all my blood-related family is gone. Dead, missing, doesn't matter. The only one I even consider family anymore is Koba. However, as you could guess, him and Manth won't let me slide without their everybody is ohana philosophy, so I've been forced to include all the people that work at my mansion. Gugh. Oh well, I suppose this section would be rather thin otherwise.

(insert 'family' photo here)


So there's a picture of us all playing on the not-so-new Wand box.

Koba: This... this is the reason for countless Saturdays of waking up at 7:00 because whatever is on TV. Energetic, mischievous, proud.... -looks around and whispers- nerdy. He likes to play cool guy in public, and somehow, he even gets away with it, but I know who he really is. You could say he's my little brother... -frowns and casually tilts head- Alright, in secret, he's not actually my little brother. I sort of... adopted him during the Master Intelligence project, but it's been so long that he's completely forgotten it. I'd like it to stay that way if you know what I mean. Although he grates my nerves at times, I've always felt I had a duty to him, and to a degree, he repays it. I find his company more enjoyable than anybody else's, and thanks to MI, he's an intelligent kid, much unlike your usual bubble-head teenager.

Stupid Seti, you made me look bad.



If you actually remember from earlier, I believe I said I had some people get close to me. I suppose I can tell you about them now, seeing as everybody else and the seti has been mentioned. However, don't expect me to be sappy gush about it, I'm still not a chummy person... Hm... But speaking of that, I think I'll even throw in a couple of people I don't necessarily like for the heck of it. You know, only because I'm feeling particulatly generous today...

Manth Viper: Let's just say nobody is a better foil of me than Manth. He's basically a nutjob wierdo, as much as he wants to pretend it's his incredible out-of-the-box thinking. If anything, he's the person you'd want to play 'Never Have I Ever' against, because he's done it. Pranced into the lobby of a corporation in a bunny costume? He's done it. Made art out of paint cans, nut shells, and rain water? He's done it. Paused the TV just so he could draw the guy on screen a mustache? He's done it. And don't think he's limited to that. Still, what's most irritating about him is the fact that his head is too stuck in the clouds to let anything get to him. Just try it. Even if you're seething with anger, he'll laugh you off. Everything is a joke to him.

However, I have to say, as annoying as he is, this guy is my be... -coughs- is rather close to me. Personality-wise he is everything I'm not. I'm down to earth, he's idealistic, I work, he plays, I'm serious, he's not. But in the end I feel he's not that different from me. Both of our lives were greatly changed in the Master Intelligence project, and despite it, we both still had the ability to laugh in the end. He's had his own childhood issues, so I forgive his wierdness as his own way to cope with them. It's kind of fun to watch actually, seeing him do stuff like pretending to be a mannequin just so he can jump out and scare people. He does come up with some brilliant schemes from time to time. I just wish enjoying them didn't mean getting half of the stupid blame whenever he gets caught.

Ran Seino: Most people are clay, moldable. You give the message you're not Mr. Nice Guy, and they'll have it imprinted in their minds for a long time. But Seino... she's foam. Nothing I did ever made her truly hate me. At all. And I did.... some particularly terrible things. There were times, when I swore she got the point and she'd hiss at me, yell at me, tell me what a selfish cold-hearted jerk I am. But in the end, she always came to my aid when I needed it (didn't exactly want it though) and cared for my wellbeing. To this day, I can't tell if she was being really stubborn or really stupid... Or maybe it just amused her that I had made Boochi my life-long enemy. Whatever the case, I had never seen a person take so much of me without breaking down or retaliating. To be honest, I kind of enjoy knowing that there's a person like her out there. I've never had any problems with lonileness as I am a loner by nature, but being around her, my life seems somehow less lonely... Ugh... You know what. That was just incredible cheesy. Don't let it sit in your mind Moving on.

James Kudo: Could I have done without knowing James Kudo? It's likely. A few years ago, a trusted board member claimed he was a skilled detective, despite not actually being one, and suggested I hire him when a blueprint went missing several years ago. Looking back at it, that trusted board member was incredibly cheap. Somehow, Kudo did the job though... that's about all he did. It would have ended there, but it soon turned out him and Ran are lifelong pals (Now sitting in a tree if you know what I mean...) so wherever she turns up, Kudo is bound not to be far away. To be frank, I actually would have had no problem with him. He's sane and straightforward. However, it's clear he doesn't like me, so naturally, I don't like him. The only reasons we run a business level relationship, is because he is still quite useful and doesn't let those feelings of his get in the way of work. This means I will occasionally throw him bone if he follows certain requests from me.

Dashett Spades: I gurantee you that Spades is one of the shallowest idiots you can ever meet, but I won't bother going into detail. As much as I don't like him, he's the owner of a major casino known as Wonderland Palace, and a major client of Kizonu. His entire casino, the security system, the slot machines, the special effects in his shows, are all Kizonu brand technology. In exchange he gives us adequate money and advertising. It's actually fairly rare for us to meet in person, but on the occasion we are forced to get together I know him as a nuisance. It's clear he fears me, but somehow he still has the guile to test my boundaries. One of his favorite games is calling me the various 'kid', 'kiddo', and 'little guy' names. I brush it off most of the time, because I suppose it's his acknowledgement that I'm a prodigy... but he doesn't stop, and it's getting more irritating with each birthday.

Caslean Spades: As much as I don't like Spades, he's the greatest business partner on earth when compared to his adopted daughter. Rash, loud, hot-tempered, rebelious, and idiotically daring. She's the kind of person I'm sure would jump into a raging vortex out of spite if you told her not to. The only thing she has going for her, is some decent music talent, but unfortunately, she seems to throw a fit when you take the liberty of bettering her pieces. As a matter of fact, there was an incident a few months ago which held up the opening of one of Kizonu's greatest inventions, all because she didn't like what I did to the music she signed off to me. Truly, when I'm around, I hope she keeps those headphones that she prizes so much on.

Keruha Zinxel: The last person I suppose I should mention is Zinxel, the person who claims to be my originator, whatever that means. I don't know where she came from. To be frank, I don't care. I do know however, that although she acts under the guise of an 11 year old kid, she's really a 19 year old shapeshifter with no true form. I actually don't even know if she's a girl or not, seeing as she can easily be a boy or an it with a switch of thought. However, as my -scoffs- "originator" it seems she's inclined to be rather useful to me, which is good. She'll offer me gifts, assure my happiness, and her artistic talents are on call for my various needs. However, sometimes I get the feeling she's just as spiteful as she is generous. She may seem innocent, shy, playful, and humorous, on the outside, but under that cute mask, there is a twisted mind.



Yes, beyond the company and myself, I even have a collection of this pathetic custom clipart. However, I suggest you tread lightly if you're assuming I'm the one collecting them. As flattering as it is to have people customize their ugly little dragon adoptables to have my face on them, I think I'd be better off not being represented as a supah-cyute anime desu dragon from Cutie Kitty. Now, I admit that some are... okay... I guess. They actually represent me as the regal guy that I am. The point is though, Zinxel is the one collecting them. And as long as she's designing my page, I have to put up these stupid little things that scream "I'm chubby plush dragon that loves hugs". Oh well, enjoy.


Look.Behind! Rawr! SQUEEEEEEE SQUEEE


Satisfied? Only looking at them to request your own ugly clip art? Good. As of right I have about 38 of these customs. -shudder- Of it, I find only

2 of them to be good representations
26 to be sickeningly cute
4 to be... wierd

And the rest are just plain ugly.



If it wasn't obvious enough, Zinxel can't collect half of those ugly adopts on my page without providing something in return. That's why, I'm ashamed to say, she has plugged a set of adoptables to be passed out as my own. Before you ask, yes, you may take one. That's obviously why we have them up here. Stick them on your page, your lookup, your butt, I could care less. I'm just relieved that they don't look as stupid as the general stream of cutesy draik adoptables. Oh, but I almost forgot. We do have a couple of rules that come with these draiks, and if you value your life on Neo, I suggest you don't skimp on them.


- Did you draw these? No? Then don't act like you did. This includes but is not limited to making these out as your own adoptable set, entering them in contests, etc.

- You may not edit these adopts. Clearly, the title says 'adoptables', not 'makeables'.

- For all those ignorant preteens, google images is not a free clipart gallery. Thanks.

- Always link back to this page. You wouldn't want to cut off Zinxel from her traders would you?

- Also, when trades say closed, we mean they are C-L-O-S-E-D, and if you think you can nab any kind request, I wish you luck... lots of it.

- Zinxel isn't partial to what she'll customize for. She'll do scorchios, cybunnies, etc. Just don't expect major line edits. Same goes for application and plan-to-be draiks.


Alright, I hope for your sake you actually read these rules instead of skimmed over them. You may now pick an adoptable or several to take home, but if none of them suit your fancy, Zinxel does custom trades.

Currently trades are... O P E N.

















Customs are not for your taking unless you requested the custom yourself!

If, somehow, you're not happy with these adoptables, there's few of my connections who have their own. Feel free to bother them.

GLOOP?



So you're interested in seeing art of me that's not this stupid adoptable trite, huh? Heh, I guess you're in luck then. I believe I've told you Zinxel has an interest in drawing things for me. The bulk of it is for webpage and layout concerns, but you'll be interested to know that not all of it is for my page. Sometimes, she just draws me just because she wants to. Unfortunately, I have yet to tell whether this is a good or bad thing. While I enjoy her art glorifying my presence, she likes to... mess around. I can't remove these trashy pics, so I suggest you take them with a grain of salt unless you want to be kicked out of here.

If you want to see a pic in it's full glory, click and drag it to your address bar. And if you can't even do that, I suggest right-clicking the image, going to properties, and copying the image's
URL and pasting it into your address bar.




A picture of me with... everybody... Zinxel apparently put in a cameo to one of her favorite games in it. If you know what it is, good for you.




This is just the uncropped version of my intro picture... Yes, that's it.






Being as well known as I am, Zinxel obviously isn't the only one drawing me. As a matter of fact, I have acquired quite the collection of art from other people. However, I'm still wondering if this is a good thing.



By Banryouka (Spooki)

I don't know what disturbs me more about this pictue. The fact that it is the first one on the page or the fact I'm in heart boxers with my tongue lolling out like so moron. Is this supposed to be cute? Also... If I'm in quad form, why am I in boxers in the first place?




By Maddened

Hmph. I suppose rabid fangirls are the lowest people I know of. They can't form their own identity as a person so they have to obsess over fictional characters and celebrities just to satisfy their sad romantic needs... That is, if you can even call it that. Truthfully, I'd rather hang out with the people who want to put me eating a sandwich as headline news.




By Amalid owned by Banryouka

Why is this even on my page?




By Kenerd

Silly the rules? Do people think I'm illiterate? And while I'm on the subject, why do they think I would ever say something that stupid? Forget the doodle, I've got dignity.




By Banryouka

I'm... a girl. Wow, you people like to be creative don't you? Oh, by the way Spooki, don't draw me again.

By yugi123yami



Hm... This reminds me, I think I heard Zinxel takes art trades. If you're interested.



As you know, I come up with products that are often acclaimed with potential to revolutionize the world. Perhaps some of them you know which have already become household names? Heh, I think you'll be interested to know that those inventions are ones I only find sub-par at best. You may consider me selfish for it - as a matter of fact, I'm considered selfish for a lot of things - but I don't publicize anything I'm truly proud of. Even my few closest business partners have told me I'm missing out on money. The rich and famous would pay millions for my breakthroughs, but item value is a funny thing. I'll just say that knowing an invention is worth 17 million is like owning the 17 million itself... Wait. No, it isn't. It's owning more! I know many people that have 17 million, people who find it to be pocket change actually. My inventions are one-of-a-kind, proof of my genius and only my genius. Besides, people wouldn't be able to handle this kind of technology anyway........ -eyes become a little colder- something that sometimes concerns me.

I'll give you glimpse of both my private and publicized inventions, but I better see those grimey hands kept to yourself.



So you think you have a page that can stand to mine, huh? Heh heh. You might be in luck since Kizonu holds out rewards for good petpages, but don't think this is your run-of-the-mill trophy. You'll have to have a lot of guts to apply for this award, because it only goes to the best of the best, and I'm not beyond humiliating false confidence. Really, I suggest you apply for smaller, easier, trophies if you actually want one, because this one won't even forgive your typos. Although... if you win, you do get a one-of-a-kind customized trophy. Still interested?

(trophy samples)


If you win a trophy it will be customized as above.

Remember, I'm not kidding when I say Kizonu's judging is harsh. We'll look at everything, your art, your writing, your character, your layout, and your creativity. And by harsh, we mean, no slip ups. Cry unfairness if you want, but if you're not at least intermediate at drawing, you're not getting gold. We also want writing and a story that we can get into, not some dribble that every page has (of course, your page doesn't have to have a story). As for layout, we're forgiving... slightly, but if you want gold, I suggest making something professional. That's right, professional, not neo-professional. Finally, creativity is a big deal too. Every page has a likes & dislikes section, an about me, a story, adopts and art. If you are trying to impress us with only the basic bones, you're not going to get that far... unless you think you can make these sections out-of-the-box themselves.

Don't worry, it's not all bad. We understand that most people can't be an expert in everything. That's why we'll allow leverage with trade-offs. Subpar at layouts, but have art that should belong in a gallery? We'll consider it. On the low intermediate side of art, but have a tale so amazing that can be deemed a saga? Alright. However, keep in mind that if you have pathetic art and layout skills, it's going to take a pretty impossibly good and creative story to back it up. Finally, even though we allow trade-offs, you won't be getting gold unless you make all sections as amazing. In that aspect, we don't care if some aren't your strong points.

Well, if you think you can still handle it, mail Zinxel your page under the topic 'Seto Trophy'. She'll forward it to me and we'll see just how deserving of this trophy you are.

If you're unhappy with the results, I suppose you could ask for some tips and critiques from me, but don't be a whiny little baby. I've told you how hard this trophy is going to be to win. I've only seen a handful of pages that could win silver, let alone gold (It's not impossible. There have been... about three... I'd give gold to).


Hm... So I'm betting you're pretty overwhelmed now. Well, perhaps it should calm you to see the awards I have won myself. At least you'll be seeing somebody's success.




Alright, I believe I've had enough with this. I know how disappointing it must be to end so soon, but there is nothing else you deserve to know. Hm... but I'll tell you what. Seeing as you're reluctant to leave, I'll let you ask a few more questions. But make them quick and at least somewhat intelligent.


Q: OMGOMGOMGOMG my pet luvs u sooooooo much u shud ttly go out and get married
A: First off, learn some english. Just because we're on the internetz doesn't mean you have the right to type like a four-year-old. Second, as enticing as going out with a complete stranger sounds... I'll pass.


Q: Wait! If I roleplay her with you for a long, long, time then will you be in love?
A: I seriously doubt it.


Q: Will you roleplay with me at all?
A: Unfortunately, Zinxel is up for most roleplay... So yes... *twitch*


Q: Who's Zinxel?
A: Did you just skip to f.a.q. section or something? Keruha's last name is Zinxel, and since we're not 'buddy-buddy' I do not refer to her by her first name.


Q: OMGosh! Keruha's art is sooooo amazing! Can I use it on my page? My userlookup? The BC!? I'll give her full credit!
A: *clears throat* Plagiarism, the unauthorized use or imitation of work, ideas, and/or language while representing them as one's own. I'm sure Zinxel is touched, but unless she specifically says you can use something for yourself, you'll be better off using that MS paint drawing you did in first grade instead. Most everything she has on this page is to promote me and the Kizonu company, as in not you and your shack.


Q: Well, if I can't use her art, can she draw for me?
A: Sorry to disappoint, but Zinxel doesn't take requests either. In case you didn't notice, art takes time. Her art takes hours.


Q: Well then... What about an art trade?
A: It depends on your art skill. She doesn't want a crayon drawing that looks like it was done by a 2-year old in return for a 10 hour finished picture.


Q: What does Keruha use to draw?
A: What all digital artists have. Photoshop and a tablet... Alright, fine. Photoshop CS2 and a Bamboo tablet. Does it make that much of a difference?


Q: Can we trade links?
A: Depends. Do you think your page is worth being here?


Q: How did you become a draik? :O They are so expensive!!
A: Luck. Some snake who was trying to kill mixed up his potions. However, I know there was a magical time where potions had deflated to 2 million....


Q: Wow! You're rich! Gimme something!
A" Heh, I guess you're in luck. We have a janitor position open at the moment. I'll pay you 30 np an hour to clean our toilets. Sound good? Oh, and don't bother trying Zinxel, she doesn't even has the money to give handouts.


Q: Can I give you a hug?
A: Want to find out how burnt flesh smells?


Q: Why are you such a jerk?
A: Oh, I'm sorry, did I strike a nerve?


Q: Um... Is Keruha up for conversation?
A: Why yes, she is. Now go pester her and leave me alone.


Q: You're page is awesome! Can you teach me some coding?
A: If you're totally clueless to coding, I suggest going here, here, or just do some actually searching for once. Zinxel may help you with particular coding tidbits, but she won't code your entire page for you.


Q: You have some awesome petpage ideas! The Big 5 personality, your living quarters, etc. Can I use some/one/all of them?
A: So I take it you can't be creative enough to make up your own? *sigh* Yes, Zinxel unfortunately doesn't have full rights over her ideas so you may use them as you like, preferably with credit. However, just because she's allowing you to use some of her ideas, doesn't mean you can rip off entire layout, story, design, and petpage ideas with little to no alteration. Also keep in mind that if we took these ideas from scientific theories ourselves (The Big Five personality, multiple intellegences, etc.) you better credit the same master minds behind them as we have.


Q: Can we be friends?
A: And you would be...?


Q: Can Keruha and I be Neofriends?
A: I repeat, and you would be...?


Q: Can I adopt you?
A: No thanks. I'd rather not take my chances.


Q: Hey! I'll trade Keruha my super awesome maraquan draik for you!
A: Excuse me? I am some TCG card to you?


Alright, enough! This is not what I meant by semi-intelligent questions. If you have more of them, tough. Go settle it with Zinxel. I'm through with you.




That's it. That's the end of all the information you'll be getting out of me, so I suggest you go home, get lost, or whatever it is you want to do. I have a slew of petpages in the sidebar if you're still bored enough to bug people. -sigh- However, I suppose it wasn't too bad having to talk to you about myself. Hm... Tell you what, I think I'll cut you an offer. I have a couple of buttons you can use to get back to this page. Copy the code and paste it wherever. Not only will it allow you yourself to come back here, but it will bring more publicity to this page. That means more publicity to Kizonu products and technology. I am running business after all.




Not satisfied I take it? If you're interested, I do accept affiliates or... what does the common class call it... link trades? However, don't assume you can ask for just any page to be on here. I have restrictions and guidelines. Follow them neatly if you want a spot on my page.

- Draik pages have lighter restrictions than those of other species because of the rarity of their pages, but that does not gurantee you a spot.
- The page to be at least 40% - 100% completed, depending on the quality and quantity of the work.
- Has to have a decent layout, pictures you drew yourself (not just Neo images), and clean, readable, interesting content.
- No premade layouts, pages that are based around masses of clipart/adoptables, and don't even dare to apply with stolen content.
- I'll accept certain guide and directory pages if I find them useful.
- No application pages. Sorry, but we don't want to check every other day just to see if you got the pet or not.
- If you want a better idea about the quality I'll affiliate, just check what pages I've already linked to.

Now that doesn't sound so bad, does it? You should know by now who to mail if you're interested.

Hmph. Now that that's over and done with, I suppose I should thank you for taking the time to have interest in this page and myself. I admit, it did allow me to kill some time not dealing with mediocore clients. -looks to the side- But don't look too much into it. The exit is right around the corner after you leave. Tch, don't get lost.
