Klaha, from the defunct band Malice Mizer. He since went solo, doing pop music, and then disappeared from the radar completely.Do you think he was kidnapped? o.o;;
"Green Lantern Corps" is a book about space cops patrolling the universe, so I want to make sure it's fun. It should be fun, and there should be a level of high adventure to it. It's going to be very character focused, but it's not going to get bogged down with overly serious naval gazing.
He's a pretty fascinating character just in how much stuff has happened to him. As the central character of this book, the first issue is all about setting a new starting point for him. We're not changing the status quo or anything. It's more about figuring out where he is. He's gone through these things that have affected all of the Corps, but he's also gone through some changes on an individual level.
One of the most interesting things is that he has this military background, and there is some history in his military experience with him questioning the leadership and what his place is in the Marines. That's a great analogy for what's been going on with the Corps and the Guardians. Things there have changed to a significant degree. But John has always been the good solider – which is funny because soldiers and Marines are different things – but what happens to the good soldier when he realizes that the higher ups are not reputable? John is taking a moment here to be introspective and wonder what he wants out of his future and whether that will include the Corps.
There's definitely going to be humor. And the thing with John that I want to bring out is that he's a well-rounded person. He has a humorous side, he has a serious side, and he does have a fun side.
why they broke up.Their Drummer died some time around or after Gackt left. They were really close with him and never replaced him. Klaha was actually a session singer at the start from what I hear, but they decided to take him on officially as a full time member. Any drummers who followed in their events or recordings were uncredited.
The death of the drummer was pretty much the reason for the split.
If I think about it now, the cause of Malice Mizer's breakup was my own individualism and self-confidence, and the widening difference between things that the other members were concerned about .http://gackt-vanilla.tripod.com/id45.html (http://gackt-vanilla.tripod.com/id45.html)
Source?I wouldn't say Gackt had anything to do with the break, although I've seen rumored that their split was not very amicable, whereas the split with the original vocalist was on much more friendly terms.
I've never heard that mentioned anywhere, and I'm a pretty big MM fan.
The closest thing to anything official I've ever heard about it, was Gackt somewhat arrogantly saying in his autobiography:
http://gackt-vanilla.tripod.com/id45.html (http://gackt-vanilla.tripod.com/id45.html)
But I think that can be taken with a grain of salt, seeing as how he wasn't even a member of the band when they broke up, and if you asked another member, like Mana, something tells me he wouldn't say that the band broke up because of Gackt's self-confidence :p
Likely, Kami's death was a contributing factor, as was Gackt's departure. It was probably a number of things, but I do not believe Malice Mizer has ever officially set the record straight as to why.
Any special plans for your 1000th post, Vlad?Nope, nada. In fact I just wasted it on this. lol
Avatar is Soma fan art. I added a slight glow animation to the eyes, which is virtually invisible because of avatar restrictions. I don't remember who made that piece, which is a shame. I picked it, because it is one of the coolest works I've seen, fan art or otherwise. If anyone recognizes the artist, tell me. He or she deserves the credit.
@UZO
Damn man, I always thought your name is a reference to Ouzo, you know, like the anise-based Greek liquor. (which is a really good liquor) :P
My avatar is Gunlord Belmont, i.e a sprite edit of Richter's NiTM sprite with Gunlord colors of black hair, brown skin, black clothes, gold gilt, and red background.
My sig is a quote from the Bible. u_u
Which one was that, Laina? The thief?
