Cain

Greetings, all, and welcome to the world of my inner mind.

I am the author known as Cain, a member of Dartmouth College's class of 2006. I am also a proud member of the World of Imagination project, a joint writing project consisting mainly of myself, Mox Jet, and Nightsong. Their writings may be found here at Icy's, and I suggest you read all three of us in order to receive the full experience. Also, I recommend you visit Planeswalker Universe, Mox's site, for glossaries, appendices, a spell index, and basically all things related to the project.

Now, prepare yourself to forge into the unknown.

"And she called him Cain, meaning 'I have created'..."
-The Book of Genesis

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Fanfiction
Existence in Conflict- Blood is thicker than water. At least, that's the old saying. For a vampire, there is no truer statement. Alexander Tepes, son of Adrian Vlad Tepes (a.k.a. Alucard) is not a happy person. Really, he's not a person at all. Because of their ignoble birth, he and his sister must walk the path of both the Hunter, and the Hunted. Neither vampire nor human, they are shunned, hated, and feared by both. Despite this, they must survive, and persevere. For if they die, the world shall be left in the familiar claws of a dark menace. A dark menace that runs in the family.

No, even worse. It's in their blood.

Chrono Trigger Fanfiction
Chrono Continuum- Evil is ever present, and always restless. This, my longest, and perhaps greatest work to date, chronicles the subjugation of a planet, and the only people who can stop it from happening. Together, we shall follow the adventures of Prince Rakin Guardia, son of Crono, and his quest to stop the evil that threatens to overtake all that he cares about. In the quest for self-improvement, this story, even once finished, will be revised until it can get no better. Now, take a deep breath, and prepare to enter the world of Chrono Trigger once again, twenty years after Lavos' defeat...

No Peace for the Hero- Not too long ago, a young man named Crono was proclaimed to be the greatest hero of all time, at least in the eyes of his era. But, with that title comes other things. Such as responsibility. Throughout history, most heroes have not been remembered for but one deed, no matter how great. It is often a life of sacrifice and hardship for one such as he. So such a man is often expected to take on responsibility for, and fix many problems. Especially when it's partially his fault...

Nature of the Enemy- For years upon years, the war with the Mystics continued, one side led by the courageous King Guardia, the other by the sinister Magus. At least, that's what was supposed to happen. But three people have changed everything in the name of power, and nothing is as it should have been. The war still rages on, but a different threat assails Guardia, and possibly humanity itself. History has noted that good triumphed over evil, but will that change?

Part 1: Collapse of the Empire - April 3rd, 2000
Part 2: Inside Information - June 27th, 2000

StarCrossed- Planets upon planets, ruled by one hand, the mighty Lady Asellus. A Galactic Power, a government where magic and technology join, where peace and prosperity reign. Such was the dream of the Mystician Empire.

But a shadow grows in the emptiness of space. As the Empire spreads, planets further out get neglected, even abused. Government officials become greedy, corrupt, and finally villainous. Those without magic or technology simply toil away their lives in manual labor. On some planets, Chaos burns away civilization. On others, law and Order become things to fear, things which drive the weak further into the dust. And evil stirs, evil in the form of dead men walking, half-breeds sucking planets dry, and a madman, bent on rescue or destruction.

It is time for a change.

Enter the Prince, Rakin Guardia, and the Thief, Christina Zeal. They will fight their own battles, but together, they may be the last hope that the Empire has.

Okay, also, StarCrossed will be split up into several parts. The first part is entitled "Drifters", and will require a mini-intro:

Rakin and Christina have entered the game, but on different sides of the board. They must both go on the hunt, and find their lost allies, before forgotten foes hunt them down and crush them.
