Eh, what the hell.
Name: Troy Vandergeest
Age: 13
Gender: Male
NPC or Player: Player
Text color: Indigo
Physical Description: Average height and weight, dressed in jeans and a Linkin Park T-shirt underneath a hoodie with the zipper undone, he wears it like a jacket. Messy blond hair and blue eyes.
Personality: Good sense of humour (except when somebody gets hurt.), but easily annoyed or depressed. Despite this, he is generally kind and rather impulsive.
History: Nothing really except for wasting his life on the internet. And gymnastics classes. (It's not girly!)
"Hell yeahs! I knew asking for Pokemon Battle Revolution as a graduation gift was a good idea! Now to boot up the ol' Nintendo Wii..."
*White screen'd!*
...
"NOOOO!!! I WAITED A YEAR FOR THIS GAME TO COME OUT!!! A FREAKIN' YEAR!!!" Right about then, everything started to go all glowy. "Argh, my retinas!" Troy shielded his eyes and felt a sensation of being in free-fall. Then he opened his eyes to discover he was in a free-fall!
"HolyfreakingcrapI'mgonnadieeeee!!!" He screamed as he plummeted towards the forest several hundred feet below him. Luckily, his descent at near-terminal velocity was slowed by the mid-air impact with the gryphon, which also broke his fall as they hit the ground together.
"I'm... I'm alive... YAAAAY!!!" Troy stood up and pumped his fist into the air triumphantly. "In your face, God!" HE then noticed he was standing on top of the still conscious gryphon, which promptly shook him off. "Ack! Wha... What the hell is that thing?"

"Oh, I'm good," Silver said as Troy fell from the sky. He had kind of predicted it and all, and the shock of being squished by a random falling human had shocked Griphiori enough that it lost its grip on the lizard trapped in its tail. "Kyoura! While it's distracted! Finishing blow! Sakura Strike!"
Two more flower petals flew at the gryphon, knocking it to the ground. It did get back up; instead of attacking again, though, it wandered off, limping, with its head hung low in defeat.
After some ridiculous Final Fantasy-esque victory dance by Silver and Kyoura, the ridiculous dancer with hands offered to help Troy get up. You rarely land on your feet after a bizarre winged beast sends you flying, after all. "To behonest... I have no idea what it was either. I don't even know what the lizard thing here is, or why he was listening to me... But I'm not under attack anymore, so it's all good."

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

"Thanks..." Troy brushed himself off after Silver helped him to his feet. "That was scary..." He muttered under his breath.
Right about then, Troy heard a hiss behind him. He whipped around to see a snake head no less than half a foot from his face. It was nearly three feet long, lime-green in colour, and was suspended by the tip of its tail from trees overhead, allowing it to stare at Troy face-to-face. Troy didn't move, hoping the creature wouldn't notice him, but also because the green gem embedded in the snake's forehead was mesmerizing. He couldn't turn away from it as it flicked its forked tongue. Suddenly, the snake gave Troy a friendly nuzzle, and slithered around his shoulders, releasing its grip from the branch.
"I guess he is kinda cute." Troy had taken a liking to the peculiar snake, and patted it on the head.

Colar looked to the sky, noticing more of the gryphons. "Hmm. quick, everybody, follow me to the town." He said as he turned to the forest, and moved toward the village he lived in, in an attempt to get the plot moving.
Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?

While walking, Troy noticed a pile of cards lying on the ground, and picked them up. "Huh, blank. Weird." The snake creature - which was still wrapped around Troy's shoulders - touched the card with its tail and disappeared, only to reappear on the card.
"What the?" Troy read the card's stats. "Chrysis... Wind type... child level... did I get sucked into an alternate Pokemon?" Troy looked up to see that he had fallen behind. "Hey, wait up!" he called, running after them.

"Pokemon? I thought it was Monster Rancher... How else do you explain the blatant AlohaSaurian rip-off?" Silver asked, pointing to the flowery dinosaur on his shoulder. "Then again, Zuum wasn't in Monster Rancher EVO... Hey, you! Where exactly are we?"
"Oh, right. I'm Colar, and right now, we're in the forest outside of Kokoyashi Town... But that doesn't help you much, does it?"
"No, not really."
"Well, um, the whole world is called Orca..."
"Still no help."
"Where are you guys from, anyway?"

"I'm from a city called Ottawa on a planet called Earth. Even though it's surface is more water than land. Which I never really under-" Troy suddenly became aware of everybody staring at him. *Ahem* So, yeah. By the way, why is your world called Orca? Are there a lot of killer whales here?"
*More stares.*
"Maybe I should just stop talking..."

The next thing Troy knew, there was a katana staring him in the face.
"I think it would be better if you started talking. Why were you poking around in our forest? How did you get past the guards? Are you with the Horseman of War?"
The one responsible for the sword-point accusations seemed to be around seventeen years old... the voice sounded like it belonged to a female, but the chest armor, chain mail gloves, oversived black shorts and messy black hair certainly didn't exude femininity. Using a sword in a world of monster battles should say something, too... (Font color = red)
"Hold on... I brought them here. They seemed completely lost, so I didn't think they could possibly be with the Horseman... But there is something weird about them."
"Yeah, I may not fully grasp the situation, but... why is there a sword in my face?"
"Ah, sorry," she put the sword back in its sheath, "You see... we're currently in something of a war with a Horseman that calls himself War. He's got quite an army under him... but it came from absolutely nowhere, or so it seems."
"I guess that explains the welcoming gryphon."
"Oh? No, the Griphori are always hostile. They mostly leave you alone if you avoid their territory."
"Their territory just happens to completely surround us."
"Coincedentally, this is a small town and the Horseman of War hasn't bothered attacking it yet. We're not even sure he knows it exists... so it's perfect for building and hiding an army or keeping a royal family out of harm's way, wouldn't you say? And now... I still want answers to the questions I asked earlier," and with that, the sword was back in Troy's face.

"Hey, chill, lady! All I know is that I was about to play my new game, when all of a sudden I fell several hundred feet to have my fall broken by a Griffon, then I met this snake thing that got absorbed into a card, and now you're shoving a freaking sword in my face. Bottom line, this is probably the worst day of my life. There, satisfied?"

Colar just sighed, holding his forehead, and shaking his head just slightly. He moved his hand forward, lightly placing it on her sword, and moving it out of the way.
"The others stories are pretty much the same. Velthrir and I were out scouting when I noticed them falling from the sky."

The tough girl sighed and started telling the intruders about their seemingly hopeless situation. "We actually don't know much about War himself... Not where he came from, not why he's causing so much trouble, just that he loves, well, War. Not the spoils of war, just war itself. Fighting, Destruction, Death."
"And we know that he's extremely powerful. Which is why we hasn't been defeated already."
"Now, I want a more thorough explanation of your presence. How did you get here?"
Troy rolled his eyes and began to repeat what he had said earlier. "Like I said, I was about to play my new game, then all of a sudden I'm falling..."
"What do you mean by 'game'?"
"You know, video games! ...Or... maybe you don't have those here."
"Then that proves it. You're not from this world at all..."
"Yeah, that's what I had gathered."
"Curious... You said you found a monster then - a 'snake' - that was sucked into a card?"
"Yeah, and mine looks kinda like a lizard." Kyoura had been hiding in Silver's shirt, but whn he heard Silver talking about him, he climbed out and on to the lost gamer's shoulder. "See?"
"But those don't look at all like the normal creatures found in the forest... something strange is going on."

"Those creatures aren't normally found around here... so yes, it is a cause for concern. New types of monsters don't just appear or leave their natural habitat for no reason..."
"Hey, sis! Don't cut anyone's head off yet!" A nine-year-old boy shouted as he ran over to the group. Ran, that is, until he tripped - he was dressed like your typical Final Fantasy White Mage and those robes seemed drawn to his feet magnetically. He pulled himself off the ground, grabbed the giant book he had dropped, placed the top hat back over his short black hair, and limped the rest of the way to the crowd. "I read about this ancient prophecy, about a group of heros falling from the sky! I thought it sounded crazy, but it explains them shoeing up from nowhere, right?"
"'Prophecy'? More like Plot Device," Silver whispered to Troy with a laugh.
"Well, if it means we don't get out heads cut off, I'm not going to complain about poor writing..."
"No, that can't be right... the prophecy says heroes, not nerds."
"Hey! I'll have you know I'm an otaku, not a nerd!"
"And even if that was the case, we can't rely on some outsiders to fight our battles for us. So until we can figure out something better to do with them, shove 'em in the dungeon."
"Hey! What about our miranda rights?"
"Yeah, who died and made you king?"
"My father. Now get them out of here, Colar."

Colar glanced at the boy, then to the group. He proceeded to lead them away to the dungeons, placing them all in the same cell.
He thought for a second, and left without taking their cards.
