the origin of my username...
Back in the SNES days, there was a video game called Lufia. I guess I must've liked that name quite a bit. While I was trying to think of a name for an original character of mine, I came up with "Luthia" (though I couldn't figure out where that name came from at that time.) My character was supposed to have an affinity with cats, so I decided that "cat" had to be part of the name. So I stuck it in the middle...and the result was "Lucathia." It'd be weird trying to write a story with "Lucathia" as the main character now...since that name has become mine more than anything. It'd be like writing a self-insert.
The "Rykatu" part comes from me trying to think of more original characters. I uh, somehow decided that spelling "cat" with a "C" was not cool enough so I went with a "k." ^^; This character is well, a guy, and has an affinity with dragons. So I divided up "ryu" and stuck "kat" in the middle just like what I did with "Luthia." ^^; (I thought dragon in Japanese was ryu but it's actually ryuu but what did I know then??)
At ffnet, I went by "Lucathia" at first, but I wanted to hide from my RL friends since they all knew I went by that name online. So I changed it to Rykatu L., knowing that they wouldn't be able to find me that way. After awhile, I stopped wanting to hide, so I changed it back to Lucathia...but I didn't want people who only knew me as Rykatu to not be able to find me anymore...so I smushed the two usernames together.
To this day, I feel weird looking at my lj name. To me, these two names are both first names and just don't go together at all. They're meant to be names of separate people. My "Lucathia" character had an actual last name, which was "Lagata." I do have
lucathia and
rykatu as lj accounts too.
lucathia is for RL posts and well,
rykatu is just my random testing posts, like for testing layouts and stuff. I'd buy a rename token for this account, but it's not really worth it. X3;
Tagging...well, I think most people have already done this meme. I think I did it before too, just not in this much detail. ^^;

10 weird habits/little known facts...mostly little known facts since I don't know what would be considered a weird habit...
1. I'm slow. As in, it used to take me 1 to 2 hours just to eat dinner. Back in HS, I had trouble finishing eating during lunch. When one of my friends started eating slower (she's usually a fast eater) she joked that I was rubbing off on her.
2. I'm a horrible conversationalist. Or maybe it's better called as bad people skills. People say I'm shy, but I think it's just that I have no idea what to say usually and I rather not say anything at all if I don't have something meaningful to contribute.
3. I don't know how to ride a bike. Or swim. D:
4. My obsession with fishbones started around six/seven years ago when my aunt gave me a fishbone necklace.
5. I once broke my little toe jumping on the sofa with my cousin. After this Chinese doctor set it right again, I found out...I could move it. On its own. (I can't move any of my other toes separately)
6. My only non A grade that I received before university was a C...in P.E. 0_0;; That was in sixth grade.
7. I've attended Fanime for the past seven years. My first cosplay was of Tomoe from Rurouni Kenshin, though I didn't even get the color right. Very few people recognized me.
8. Quite a few of my anime/manga obsessions...started with the video game versions of them. 0_0;; Take Yu Yu Hakusho, for example. I saw my brother and my cousin playing a YYH fighting game on the SNES and was really intrigued. I read the manga afterwards. It wasn't until a long time afterwards that I managed to get tapes of the anime. My obsession with Tenipuri is another example. I liked it, sure, but I didn't get obsessed with it until after playing "Form the Strongest Team" on the PS2.
9. The first game I ever finished was...Pokemon Yellow, I think? I don't really remember. I do remember that I wasn't able to beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Red (that I started before Yellow). I ended up transferring my Yellow pokemon to Red...and beat it that way.
10. In 9th grade, one of my teachers had us write time-capsule letters that she said she'd give back to us four years later. I wrote a note to myself along the lines "Have you finished writing that fic (ENTER TITLE HERE) you started? Do you still like that guy?" Surprisingly, I did finish that fic (it was my very first fic ever. A truly horrid one. I've never taken it down though, so you can still find it.) and I don't like that guy anymore. The teacher never gave the letters to us though, so I don't remember what else I wrote to myself about.

Top 10 animanga for me!
1. Yuu Yuu Hakusho
2. Rurouni Kenshin
3. Hikaru no Go
4. Dear Boys
5. Detective Conan
6. Prince of Tennis
7. Honey and Clover
8. Mekakushi no Kuni
9. Venus wa Kataomoi
10. Uninhabited Planet Survive
1. Yuu Yuu Hakusho
The first series I ever really got into and devoured the entire manga of. I read the Chinese versions and watched the anime with Chinese subtitles, so I only ever knew the character's by their "Chinese" translated names. It wasn't until I discovered fanfic that I actually learned their names. My love for green comes from er, Kurama's eye color. .////. I just love Kurama's character, and I love the world of YYH. (I much prefer YYH's version of Shinigami than Death Note's.)
2. Rurouni Kenshin
Before...a month ago, this would not have been so high up on the list. But I've started reading RK fics again, and that renewed my love of RK and of Soujiro.My first fic ever was about Soujiro. The historic stuff about the Bakumatsu and the Shinsengumi is really fascinating (though I understood nothing of it the first time I watched it)...and everyone in RK has a tragic past. I remember laughing at the RK intro sequence. I still laugh at it, actually.
3. Hikaru no Go
Is addicting. Super addicting. The music, the characters, the games! And growing up and all that. My brother and his friend started playing Go over the net (though I never started). But HnG really does make me want to play.
4. Dear Boys
Very under appreciated series. The artwork for the second act is breathtaking. I love the team dynamics. I really love the passing of time in the series...how the second years are now third years and there are freshmen on the team. It's something that I'd like to see in Tenipuri but know will never happen.
5. Detective Conan
Kaitou Kid. I get together with my brother to watch the DC movies that come out every year. DC is like a constant in our lives. Heh.
6. Prince of Tennis
The series in which my friends and I obsessed over during our days on the HS tennis club. Seriously. They've long since moved on, but I'm still here. I like it for the rival teams and the silly video games that result from the physic-defying moves.
7. Honey and Clover
Is the first series that made me cry. It wasn't just a sniffle either. It's not a series I'd reread or rewatch...unlike the others I listed above. A very poignant series.
8. Mekakushi no Kuni
Has the most beautiful friendships ever. I doubt any of you know of this series. But I love Namiki. He's perhaps my favorite character of all time.
9. Venus wa Kataomoi
I'm throwing out these obscure titles that no one has ever heard of before. But well, if you like Honey and Clover, this one has somewhat similar vibes. It's about college and life and relationships and figuring out just what you want to do with your life. Guy and girl fall in love with the same guy...
10. Uninhabited Planet Survive
Trying to survive in the wild, stranded from home in a technologically advanced world...pretty fascinating.
Others that might've made it on the list: Gakuen Alice, Detective Academy Q, Death Note, Fruits Basket.

Date: 2007-06-21 01:50 am (UTC)I never passed floaters for swimming. D: I do know how to float, and since I can float, I can swim...on my back. But the requirement to pass floaters is to know how to do free-style. I don't know how to change my breath.
Supposedly, we needed to pass a swimming test to graduate high school, but I never did pass it. I guess they let it slide.No one taught me how to ride a bike. My childhood is deprived. X3;
Re: Weird Habits
Date: 2007-06-21 01:55 am (UTC)Haha, I've never completed any swimming courses. So any style of swimming that I know is usually pretty sloppy because it's self-taught XD; That and I haven't swam in ages...
Me too! And now I can't be bothered to even try anymore D:
Re: Weird Habits
Date: 2007-06-21 02:33 am (UTC)If I try to learn how to bike now...well, I know I'll be afraid of falling. And I'm so much higher off the grade now, the fall would be much harder. I just feel it's easier to fall when you're still a little kid. D:

Date: 2007-06-21 02:30 am (UTC)Lucathia: female. main character. Reddish-brown hair up to the shoulders. Somewhat slanted eyes...[Power: ???]
Rykatu: male, the "main" guy character. Bluish hair. Vacant eyes. Long eyelashes. Is on a journey to recover his soul. Dragon halfbreed. Haha, the typical angsty lead bishounen, I guess. Likes to write. [Power: ice.]
Kitkatsune: male, Lucathia's mentor in her abilities. No one has seen his true appearance. His hair is somewhat like Yoh's from Shaman King. [Power: shape-shifting]
Tekatme: male, Rykatu's rival of sorts. Has orange/reddish hair that flips up at the top/side (almost like dog ears). Is loud and can be quite rude at times, though he's just mostly oblivious to his ways. [Power: fire]
Ikatchi: male, blond, has pointy ears. Wears a bandanna and glasses to hide his eyes. Very smart. [Power: speed]
Nikatya: female. Long pink hair that's tied into a loose, low ponytail. Wears a long dress. [Power: her voice]
Felinay/Felidae/???: A goddess with three forms. The last form has never been named. As Felinay, she looks like an elementary kid. Wears her light brown hair in a ponytail. Her other forms have progressively darker hair. [Power: dimension control]
You almost thought Lucathia was my real name? XD; I have shortened Lucathia to Luca or Ruka before. :)
2/3: I'm definitely not cooler. XD;; But! You don't know how to swim? Bike? I'm not alone? :O
6: No B's in middle school or high school. Except for that one C in P.E. in sixth grade, but thankfully, 6th grade was kept separate from 7th and 8th on the transcript. I think the school was in the middle of becoming a 7th-8th grade only school. University's a different matter. X3;; For one, I paid less attention to grades. And it was a lot harder too.

you def. are. ;D and no i do not!! i was traumatized by the ocean because of my dad at a young age and i lived on a hill for almost my entire life so... YOU ARE NOT ALONE! :'D
you had a 7/8 grade transcript? x___X but that's still way impressive. but ehh, college grades hardly matter as much, i think? stupid college. >3>

Traumatized by the ocean? :O The most I'm willing to do at the beach is standing on the beach and letting the water rush up to my legs. I'd never...go in. The place I live is pretty hilly too. Not good for learning how to ride a bike!
Yup, I had a 7/8th grade transcript, though now that I think about it...I don't really think it mattered much. Though, it did help with getting into honor courses in 9th grade...I guess. 0_0;

Date: 2007-06-21 10:13 pm (UTC)OMG, I DREW THESE SEVEN YEARS AGOPLEASE DON'T HURT YOUR EYES FROM THESE.That sounds like a really scary experience. D: My brother lost his glasses at the beach before. The waves took them away. >_>
Hm, the beach is only good for building sand castles! :D Except, it's probably a good idea to bring buckets and shovels or something, since shaping a huge sand castle by hand is really not good for the hands. Ahaha, I don't know how to rollerblade either, or skate. My only time at the skating rink really scared me. Before I went, I thought, "This'll be easy. I just have to move my feet like this." But when I got there...I clung to the side the entire time.
Er, yeah. Except I wasn't trying to get into a private high school. Hm. Darn, I could've been more laid back in middle school! XD;;

can't ride and can't swim.... :3
YYH game in SNES?! O_O is it the one that collect your power and then press a button to release cool powers? I really like that one too! XD but I haven't read the manga and watch the anime yet. ^^;;
Uninhabited Planet Survive is one of my all-time favorite! XD I really like the storyline and sadly, this anime is not well-known. :3

Date: 2007-06-21 06:27 am (UTC)Wow, I'm finding out that a lot of people don't know how to swim or ride a bike. XD;
Oo, are you referring to the turn-by-turn game where you choose a move by pressing a button and then both characters execute their moves? I really liked that one! (There were two that was like that). I also have the normal fighting ones. One was for the first part of the series and the other one was for the latter part, so it had Mukuro, Yomi, and the rest.
Uninhabited Planet Survive is one of the few anime I watched right when each episode came out. It has such an interesting basis for the plot! ^_^

I especially liked changing from Kurama's human form to his youko form, and I also liked using Itsuki's power...that er, thing that eats people up and brings them to a separate dimension. Forgot what it's called. But he's so much stronger when he's in there. XD;;

okay, it's actually a term in X (CLAMP). which means dreamseer or dreamgazer. and it doesn't have the dash but that I was so naive and followed an X fansite spelling thus in became yume-mi instead of yumemi. ^^;;
this username I use it around the internet. but sometimes, it seems that in certain places, someone have already use this username. >_>;;
I chose this name because I have the ability to foresee MY own future, not the Earth future or something like destiny! XD
but then, I realize that I can only see this future dream if I'm not too tired or stressed. It comes occasionally in my life. sometimes it makes me goes crazy (like Kotori in X). and I see a lot of deja vu because of the future dream. ^^;;
sounds weird, right?
WOW! *O* I loved that game too! XD That game is so much fun! Kurama is my favorite character to use on a fight! XD I'm having a hard time to change him into his youko form. ^^;; ah, I can't remember about Itsuki's powers. ^^;;
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 07:12 am (UTC)Oo, yes, I think I've seen your post about the origin of your username. I've never seen or read X. But yumemi makes sense. Someone who sees dreams. *nods*
Lately, I've been dreaming about all these weird things. >_> It's probably from sleeping too much since it's summer. X3;;

The English dub of YYH...*shudders*. I heard that Genkai was mistakened as a man and Kurama as a female...but I think they corrected it later. I only watched one episode of it.

Weird facts. Hehe, 2 is me too. And 3. ^^;;; yoshikochan says she'll teach me how to ride a bike. And swim though. She was pretty shocked when I told her I didn't know how. ^^;;;;;
Ooh there was this online e-mail time capsule thing. I think I wrote something like 5 years ago and had it sent to my e-mail (shocked I still use that e-mail, but hehe that's not changing anytime soon since everything goes to it XD). Yeah one of those feelings...can't remember what I wrote in it. Probably something about anime...maybe something about fanfics too, since I was really into that in HS (i still write some now too not as much though XD)

Date: 2007-06-22 07:21 am (UTC)Haha, I doubt anyone would take these names of mine even if I didn't register for them. XD;; They're...unique? Entirely not English words or a word from any language at all in fact.
Oh wow, another person who doesn't know how to ride a bike or swim! :O Every summer I plan to learn (my friends made it their mission)...but it never happens. With learning how to ride a bike...I'd need to get a bike first.
An online email time capsule thing? Did you really get it five years later? :O That's pretty neat. I still check my very first email account occasionally, though it's not my main email anymore. Aw, I wish I got my time capsule thing back. ): I never really wrote a lot of fic, but I write even fewer now. X3;;

Date: 2007-06-22 10:03 pm (UTC)We should! I don't understand Go at all, but er, if you don't mind that, maybe you can sort of teach me? :O

Date: 2007-06-24 02:28 am (UTC)I can try and teach you, though I'm self-taught myself. Its not much fun to play online unless you know someone you can play w/ because, if you don't, one of two things tend to happen - 1) you play someone who's WAY above your rank or 2) you play someone and when you're about to win, they sign off so it doesn't count as a loss to their names. That's why I just quite playing online

Date: 2007-06-23 05:42 am (UTC)I'm with you on #2. XD *is teh suck at talking face-to-face* I don't know how to swim either! It took a ridiculously long time to learn how to ride a bike... I don't think I remember how anymore. XD
All those anime sound interesting and I've seen some of them. Makes me want to rewatch them. X333 Dear Boys omg? I still remember the ending song. XDDDDDD

Date: 2007-06-23 12:16 pm (UTC)But at least you've learned how to ride a bike...and people say that once you've learned, you never forget! I wish someone taught me how to ride a bike. And swim. ^^; High school swimming meant getting into a pool and doing nothing...they need to devise some lessons or something. D:
Dear Boys!! I like the manga version. The anime version's okay. Ahaha, I always skipped the ending. I do remember the opening really well though, and I've heard part of it used in a Chinese song by this one Taiwanese band called 5566! :O I wonder which version was the original. The guys in 5566 even starred in this one basketball drama...too bad it wasn't based on Dear Boys. X3;;

Date: 2007-06-24 07:15 pm (UTC)I fell far too much. I had training wheels for the longest time. XD And I know omg, I just stood at the corner of the pool on the shallow end. x_x
5566! I only know one song by them... Long Time No See? Yep. XD One of them is incredibly... bishounen. *o* I want to see the manga version. Even though I'm lazy downloading manga. XD;;

Date: 2007-06-25 11:37 pm (UTC)The manga version of Dear Boys is really good. Especially Act II. I've seen raws for it around, but no scanlated version, sadly. The scanlations only go up to chapter 11 or so, I think.
