im new to menewsha, i have a gaia but this place is different, how do i earn gold?

[FONT="Arial Black"][B]Today on Menewsha[/B][/FONT]
Today is my first day, and i'm starting out, relaxing my self in a comfy chair after a week of school. Today I start my mini life, I will not, and refuse to answer any questions that seem personal, dis polite, or weird. Please explain to me what I should do to earn money. Also, I have two names, You can either call me Chloe, or Loki.

The Perfect Picture

1. In preluding to a tragic scene, the statement where Thom claims he is "driving to a scene I didn't want to see," Thom allows himself to begin his recollection of an event that he would rather not have been part of. This statement is vital in to retelling of this particular event because it explains the tone, setting, and gives you insight to an event and time.
2. Thom's decision is highly influenced by the minute, yet descriptive details which portray a scene where he must form a moral decision that he was already uncomfortable with in the first place. In describing the scene in such a way that it shows what an ideal opportunity it would be to further his career with the capturing of an ideally perfect setting for as tragic a setting as it was, it allowed for a clearer view of the overall picture and gave Thom the opportunity to make a decision that would determine whether it was right or not for him to take this picture and choose the best path for himself.
3. I feel that Thom chose the path that worked best for him, and though it was not what would be expected of a typical reporter, the times and moralistic behaviors of that era show us where people come from and how they make their decisions. I understand that Thom already did not like having to be there and while he felt that from a journalistic approach it would be the best thing in the world to get that picture for his work, he walked away. The reality of the whole situation is that the decision that was made never gave him the opportunity to preserve the moment, even if it were not for his own personal agenda. The artistic side of the situation would have been an almost unbearable moment for me personally, even if I knew that it was not right. In the end, I do feel that he made the best decision by walking away from it. An opportunity will come and go, and the moral dilemma would greatly outweigh the entire situation in the end for most people.

4. Media doesn't allow room for privacy, neither in society or within yourself. Why should we have the right to keep anything private now when there are such methods out there that so easily expose anything we have to hide anyways? The media is unyielding in it's path towards public exploitation of the privacy of all, and in turn, we allow ourselves to fall prey to the media's public influence upon our lives.
5. The influence of the media can be both good and bad depending on how you look at it, but in a sense it effects each individual differently. As mass media truly is an output of opinion to the masses, it seems that general acceptance of such opinions takes over and people respond to what they want to respond to now. I feel that the media is an unyielding monster that truly does overrule much of our lives in that we are no longer allowed to think for ourselves unless we're hermits. What makes anything we have to say from our personal experiences any more potent than that of the media when no one will listen to what we have to say? Is it truly that bad that we have to follow what we're told and live our lives constantly for what we're told is right and wrong?

So in the end, I feel that there is no right answer in saying that the media is good or bad. It is a mixture of both because good things come from it, as well as bad, and it is because of this that we have made our decisions what they are.

6. There is no six.

7. Thom, the reporter sent to get the pictures of the scene and interview the parties involved with the incident. Thom is the main character who is faced with a decision that he must make in protecting the rights of the family, and doing his job.
The Grandfather, who in this case is the villain of the story. In running over his granddaughter unknowingly, he turns himself into the character that people don't like, and then ends up being felt sorry for.
The Granddaughter, who plays no real part as she does nothing in the story, but as the story centers around her death, she is a good enough character.
The Parents, who sit off to the sidelines mourning.
8. Narration supports the main point of the story in that it reinforces the emotional appeal that the story has in the first place. Had the narration not been there, or had it been different, the tone would have been wrong, and it would be a different story.
9. The narration is better suited in first person than in third person for sure because it makes the whole retelling more personal. Had the perspective been changed into third person, the story would have been more of a newspaper article than a memory, and it wouldn't have had such a strong effect.

10. "It was early in the spring about 15 years ago - ..."
11. When the grandfather explains himself in paragraph four. He states "I was just backing up there to spread that good dirt," and "I didn't even know she was outdoors" in continuing his self-explination.
12. P2 - "Stocky white-haired man in cotton work clothes".
P4 - "... to spread that good dirt."
P6 - "... the big, bulky Speed Graphic which used to be the newspaper reporter's trademark."

[size=1][b]Name[/b] Jaserous Hinta
[b]Alias[/b] Zero ([i]only responds to such[/i])
[b]Age[/b] 83 (around his early twenties if he were human)
[b]Gender[/b] Male
[b]Species[/b] 1/2 Dragon, 1/4 Goat, 1/4 human
[b]Sexuality[/b] Gay
[b]Eyes[/b] His right eye is almost black in color and his left eye is a bright green.
[b]Hair[/b] Short and messy with long sideburns and slight facial hair. Black.
[b]Other[/b] His skin may be gray in color but it is not furry like many often assume, though it is not as soft as normal skin either. It's almost rubbery feeling. Two slim horns stick out straight from Zero's head.

[b]Likes[/b] Gambling, stormy weather, cats, liquor, men, rough housing, arguing, physical contact, slender fingers, piano music, pipes, smoke, poetry, fist fights

[b]Dislikes[/b] Mornings, spit, sweet foods, females (young and old, can't stand em), blood, cuddling, people who don't humor his tendencies to rant and rave.

[b]Personality[/b] Zero is very cranky and is often complaining about what an 'old man' he is when really he is nothing more than an infant in the eyes of some of his dragon ancestors (not that he knows any of them, mind you). He often picks fights just to gauge other's reactions and finds amusement in ticking strangers off. He had a rather heavy appetite for drinking, smoking and boyishly handsome males though and often gives in to his sudden and not so random urges.

[b]History[/b] [i]still underway[/i]

[size=1][b]Name[/b] Jerenous Hakimith
[b]Alias[/b] [i]none responded to[/i]
[b]Age[/b] 109 (around his late twenties if he were human)
[b]Gender[/b] Male
[b]Species[/b] Full Dragon; Drakien
[b]Sexuality[/b] who knows? Asexual?
[b]Eyes[/b] Deep pools of black, kind of creepy.
[b]Hair[/b] Pure silver, it seems. Styled very short and spikey but has a thin braid that hangs almost to his feet that is bound in black cloth.
[b]Other[/b] Has a few scars on his face. His skin his very smooth, almost rubbery, and pure white in color and is almost always cold to the touch. He has two long horns similar to his half brother's, Jaserous' that are black in color.

[b]Likes[/b] Reading, Storms, Water, Drinks (though very rarely more than two), Tabaco, cleansliness, combat, control and a very well hidden lust for anything golden or jewel like.

[b]Dislikes[/b] Physical contact, silly behavior, those who disobey orders (he's been known to slit a few throats for such behavior, claiming those who'd disobeyed were traitors), sweets, roudy behavior, males [i]and[/i] females, children, animals, any sort of over-emotional displays, getting drunk.

[b]Personality[/b] Jerenous is a very serious guy who is devoted to his father, and the empire. He has one older brother that holds the position of the heir and has felt content to take up a position in the royal guard. He is a well known fighter even among the special forces and won't hesitate to snap someone's neck simply from a foul look he's been given. He is, as some might think, the perfect soldier. He is seemingly emotionless and devoted, taking orders without question. Somewhere underneith all of those layers though his true personality lies, though few have seen it and it is such a rarety the last time it has come to the surfice has probably been over twenty years prior to now.

She knew she had to face the bear.. Which she did and won! That day she was renamed Breeze ( "No longer needs to catch the breeze" as her cheif said) and pieced her right ear with a tooth from the bear she slayed as a reminder that the bear could have killed her if she did not have the will to survive and prove herself.
