My favorites are Sandman, Batman, Akira, Ranma ½ and ... and... Heck, I've been reading so many comics lately that I really can't say which I liked the best! So you pick.

OoC: Here we go. Note that I have no idea of what some of these mean, but what the heck.

Tau-warriors

System of Government: They are governed by a general, but as none are currently around, masters have taken the lead. They take most of their orders from their allies, however.

Government Legitimacy: Uncategorizable. They have their own special laws (called the Path of Dishonour).
Government Stability: High
Location: anywhere they happen to be, currently same as Ratbane.
Sphere of Greatest Influence: Their current location
Territory: None in this version of Ermaria.

Fiscal System: Same as their allies, basic trade if not allied.
Fiscal Status: Unstable
Economic Growth: Currently low
Standard of Life: High in their standard
Imports: Food
Exports: Loyalty ,training of all sorts. Their strenght is not in their numbers.

Population: Currently 200, reinforcements on their way. Their small numbers were the reason why they split up.
Recognized Species: All
Populating Species: Currently fanged ones, tengus, nephils, sliths and lesser demons. Different species will appear with the reinforcements. Use your imagination.
Army: They are an army.
Comparative Technology Level: Very high. Unlike others, their technology is in defensive period. Their special armorsuits are a great example of this.
Army Training: Extremely good. Basically everyone is trained from an infant.
Army Discipline: Extremely good.

Diplomatic Status: Allied with Ratbane. If Ratbane is destroyed and they survive, they will try to ally with the first faction they encounter.
Traditional Enemies: Guardian of the Whirlwind. Don't ask.
Major Problems: They're stuck in a foreign world, and they're short of food. They weren't very lucky to encounter Ratbane first, weren't they.

Flag Description: They have no flag. Instead they can be distinquished by their special armor; every armor is striped with two to three colors, which vary by the sex and rank of the wearer. Special-ops also have silver patterns on their helmet. Basic colors are light-blue, orange, grey, red, green, purple and black. Light-blue means the wearer is female, orange means male, grey means some other sex or the wearer doesn't want to tell.
Other colors tell the rank of the wearer. Red means a soldier, red combined with black means a squad leader, green is somewhere higher than a sergeant, green with black is captain. This combination is quite common with second-in-commands. Then there's purple, which means wearer is master. Masters are currently in charge of the Tau and supervise the training given to allies. Purple with black means a general.
So by these rules, the armor of Wave would be striped with light-blue and purple. By the way, she's a fanged one.

Currently there are only two species with the Tau that are not native to Ermaria. These are tengus and fanged ones.
Tengus are basically bird-people (actually bird demons). They are nimble and make good warriors. They also have a bad temper, so don't mess with them.
Fanged ones are a little more alien. As you propably quessed, they have fangs. They also have long muscular tails they use for swimming, and a thick, grey hide which works as natural armor. They are quite short, their average height being 160 centimeters. Although they are bad runners, they can make astonishing leaps with their strong legs. Other than this, they're quite similar to nephils. They tend to eat corpses of people they have slain, by the way.

Now that made a long post. I think I'll leave IC for some other time. And sorry for the typos. I'm sure there are some. Ciao!

Check out this ling for temperature data from locations that remain rural, some data goes back more than 50 years, and none of the data shows ANY conclusive evidence for global warming.

Data about global warming has to go back more than hundred years to be trustworthy. And if global warming is a bluff, then you propably have a better explanition for this:

In scandinavia, lakes are frozen two weeks less than 80 years ago. They freeze a week later than they used to, and melt a week earlier. Also, why is the amount of fresh melting water flowing to Atlantic ocean rising, as we should be, judging from time elapsed from last ice age and the current orbit of earth, closer to new ice age?

Also, methane clathrates have been noticed to be melting in the northern seas. This kinds of events took place five hundred million years ago, before the time of dinosaurs. Sudden release of methane to athmosphere caused a huge warming cycle, which caused the average temperatures to rise by 16 degrees. This wiped out 90% of all life on earth.

Frankly, I can't give you any links, as I don't gather my information from internet. Part of this information was taken from a TV documentary I saw a year back, some info was taken from 'CD-facta 97' by WSOY, and most was gathered from those dozens of science magazines I've read.

"We swear allegiance to Ratbane clan and promise to protect it from any threats it'll ever encounter!" said Wave Black-Eyes. All of the 200 Tau-soldiers behind her swore the same oath in chorus.
"Yes" murmurred Homurr. "We accept your oath."
Wave rose and looked at her new leader. "All kinds of things we do to maintain our position", she muttered. The nephil chief infront her growled something to others nephils around him, and then turned back to Wave. "You may go now", he said and left Wave to stand in the court yard of some ruined castle.

"Really we have to do this, hmm?" asked Raven, Wave's closest friend and second-in-command.
"I think we have no choice" responded Wave. "We are mercenaries after all, and we're currently stuck in this world. And even we have to eat."
Raven chuckled and then looked around him. "It would be best to split to 4 or more smaller teams. We can help these creatures more efficiently that way.
"I think you're right", answered Wave and inspected the nephil camp behind her. "Tell Sarah, Tsunami, Bluestrike and other masters about your thoughts. And tell them to be fully equipped tomorrow morning" she then continued. "I think we have a great amount of work to do here, and it won't get done if we just sit on our tails."

OoC: As I'm feeling little lazy, I didn't take my time to write a description about Taus. Basically they're a band of 200 mercenaries led by 10 masters and one DGC (you don't need to know what this means yet). Current DGC is Bluestriker. They are, unlike many other mercenary groups, utterly loyal to the group that has hired them, and completely obedient to their rules. They're consisted of many different sentient species some not native to Ermaria. They have no flag, but can be distinquished from others by their special colourized armour. They have far superior weapons and armor compared Ratbane clan they have allied with.

Fun fact: When dinosaurs were around, global tempratures were way the hell more than 3 degrees hotter! :) IIRC, something >10 degrees, even. The world was also a very nice, tropical paradise :cool: . Maybe not the whole world, but it was nice out. The continents were also all much closer to the equator, then, too.

They were aproximately 16 degrees higher, yes. But altough that was good for dinosaurs, that would be a hell to humans. Imagine that there's 25 degrees warm in summer here in Finland. Now imagine it would be 41 degrees. Human being can survive in such temperatures for a while if it is dry enough and he has a stable supply of food and water. However, if it's too humid humans are boiled alive (think of being in sauna 24 : 7. Not nice), and if it's too dry we certainly won't have a stable supply of food and water, as nothing grows in the soil.

Oh, and by the way, the world of dinosaurs was a tropical paradise only for a quarter of a year. The rest of the year it was barren desert, just like Sahara is novadays.

And it will go on like this until nature finds a new state of balance, or we do something which reverses the process.

"My master needs help" growled Argus.
"Help? 'The great Samuel Fin' needs help? Ha!" answered Morimos and laughed.
"You don't know, do you?" Argus said scratching the floor nervously with his huge claws.
"Know what? As far as I know there's nothing I should know. Ha ha!" said Morimos still chuckling nervously. "And as far as I know Samuel Fin has no reason to send any of his ursagi to my tower. Leave!"
"Rummel has run away with your spatula" growled Argus. "And my master has a good reason to doubt he is up to any good."
Morimos seized. "What did you say?"
"I said Rummel has gone mad" answered Argus who was becoming even more nervous. "And my master needs to know what powers the spatula has so he can..."
"Why didn't you tell me in the first place!" Morimos shouted and started feverishly searching his desk. "This is very grave. That spatula has immense magical powers and... now, where did I put those papers... ah, here they are!" said Morimos and lifted a pile of old scrolls from his desk. "Now we just have to take these to your master."
"We?" asked Argus, who was very puzzled from the mages reaction.
"Yes. You see, I made that spatula" said Morimos with a strange glow in his eyes. "And getting it back will definetly not hurt..."

In the meantime Samuel Fin was leaning to an old dead tree. Damn. It has been almost an hour since I was cursed, why it still hasn't worn off? he thought and tried to cast yet another curing spell. It didn't work.
Samuel had seen a demon attack Rummel, but it had lost the fight and Rummel had sent it... well, somewhere. Samuel felt sorry for the poor bastard.
I could have helped him if my hands were working. Oh, well... he thought and then started walking again.
If I remember right there's one of my portals around here he muttered. Once I get to it I can teleport back to my home. A wide grin spread across his face. And back to my board of translocations.

Samuel Fin reappeared at border of some town. "Damn. I studied the board of translocations for 10 years and my aim is still miles off" he cursed. "Now, where exactly am I?"
Samuel remembered there was some small town east from the tower. He had missed for a mile or so. "Grrr. It took me hours to finish those calculations" Samuel muttered, and looked back to what was seemingly nothing but air, and for a second thought about going back. Then he saw something that caught his attention.
15 men were walking out of the town inn, and in the lead was no toher than Rummel himself! "It seems it is my lucky day afterall" Samuel said to himself and cast an invisibility spell. "Now I just have to hope Argus finds Morimos, and soon..."

A fun fact: Word perfect can save files in various formats, including MS word document. It can't read MS word documents though (at least my version doesn't), but then there are formats wich both can read and write, such RTF.
