9/20/2002 - Important notice
Wow, long time, no update. I've decided to halt all updates on this site. It's useful to some people, for info and opinions but I've finally figured out there's a very specific science to running fan sites. For those of you interested, let me explain it briefly : update a lot, update as much as you can. Putting up images from the show and things everyone else has is worthless. If you've got your own fan art and fan fiction, great. I don't personally have the time to obsess over MKR as much as some people do (and I'm NOT putting them down), so I'm going to leave the site as it is. There are many sites I like... so at an undisclosed future date, I'm going to reorganize my websites all under one banner. In the meantime, please visit my main, personal website where I post fan art and a number of other things. You'll also find links to the company I work for and can read my professional material. Needless to say, I won't even bother fixing the links page here.
 

4/5/2001 - I'm just letting you know, I have not forgotten about the site. I just don't have time right now to update.
11/17/2000 - Added a link banner for the site. You'll find it in the links page.
11/2/2000 - I updated the Raging Siege character profiles, made some changes to the FAQ, the links and one other page I can't remember right now. I'm actually surprised how complete this site is now, things are going well!
10/27/2000 - I added some new character descriptions for Faren, Autozam and Chizeeta. I also cleaned up some of the older descriptions. Things are moving along smoothly now.
10/26/2000 - I added some new links to the links page worth checking out, including my Angelic Layer page which for some odd reason I hadn't linked there yet? Odd. I also added info for those of you that wanted to use my Arushione banner for your MKR site.
10/19/2000 - Boom! All of my inked MKR pictures have been colored in, so they are now up in the gallery and in the character shrines. I've updated the descriptions and added Innova, who for some strange reason was missing. I'll be adding new characters and info from the section season as time goes on.
9/29/2000 - Aw-ight! I have all my old Rayearth pics colored in, all I have to do now is scan them... and that's the problem. My scanner is down for the moment. On the upside I added some character profiles.
8/29/2000 - Yay! I finally got some free time to make a little progress! Fan pics of Zazu Torque and Geo Metro have been added!
8/3/2000 - Just to let you know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth: Updates will continue. I've been "distracted" with work at Gravitywell and have every intention to keep adding material to this site. In the meantime my home computer is down, so I'm not scanning in artwork at the moment.
3/24/2000 - Yo! I've added my first full color, full body MKR fan art to the gallery. I've done sketches, and full color head shots, but not a full piece like this one. It's not perfect, but it's cool. With this I replaced the MKR Ring banner on the front page. Just today I udpated the first series character descriptions and will move onto the others soon. Now all I need is to finish that head shot of Lafaruga...
2/29/2000 - WASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUP! It's not the update that I'd like to do, but between two jobs it's the best I can do. Over the next few days I'll be uploading character descriptions and a few other odd items that used to be on my old site. All of the art on this site will be fan art, nothing official. I'll also be replacing the old Rayearth Ring logo with a fan art logo too! Keep your eyes peeled, slowly, slowly this page will return to the greatness and originality that it once possesed!

11/11/1999 (therabouts) - WORD!! =^_^= As some of you know, this site is one of the oldest websites on the Magic Knight Rayearth series. It was hosted for a short time on Geocities, then on a hack thief server known as "www.baysite.net" where I got ripped off. For over a year and a half this site has been nothing but character sketches of my own, and Sakeru's fan comic. Now, I have the new design in mind and I am making preparations to put it up. What will the end result be? Most Rayearth sites are made with the same pictures we see everywhere, especially pictures out of the CD booklets. No more shall my site fit this description. When TT's MKR page fully evolves into the "Antiquite Of Cephiro," it will be a page done ENTIRELY in fan art, and no scans whatsoever. Will there be MP3s? Not full ones, I will only host sample material and a few catchy .wav files to use on your computer. The focus of this site will become that of fan work, and hard info about the series. There will also be an extensive FAQ for the Saturn RPG once I can finish writing it =^^=;;
     What happened to all of the fan art you had here? For the moment, to clear up files I removed them. HOWEVER you can see the COLOR version of them and other works of mine off in the art gallery of my main site.

O.S. (Original Senshi)

I've been a fan of Magic Knight Rayearth since 1996. When I became a fan, I almost immediatly created a fan site for Magic Knight Rayearth on Geocities. It was a subsite of my "Genetrix" page, which is now The Official Red Krewe Fan Site. Here's a screenshot of my Geocities page for MKR. 

The broken images are the ancient Geocities banner program, and Link Exchange. The other pics were some red border things I had going. Notice the three languages, my goal at that time was to make a tri-lignual MKR page. Well... I gave up =^^=;;
After that I purchased space on a crooked-run-by-a-thief-and-a-hack-server, www.bayside.net (Rob Sulzman, you're a lyin' jerk!). Here's a screenshot from that.

My site then was kick ass... got a LOT of hits, and was one of the best MKR pages of it's time. Then the jerk that ran the server shanked me and a few other hundred (thousand) people for our cash and ran off. Since that time (as above, 9/27/1998) my site has been on FortuneCity in a non-active state, until now. I plan to gradually transform this back into the kick ass site it once was plus some!

Here's a classic piece of text from my old site, that I used to get e-mailed about a lot =^_^=
( Mind you, I'm older than 21 now ;-P )

What is Magic Knight Rayearth?
Magic Knight Rayearth is Shojo Anime. 
What's that?
Anime for girls. 
Why's a 21 year old guy doing watching it then?
I like it. 
Why?
I just do. 
Well we have a word for that in my...
Say it and you'll be thirty teeth short of chewing solids!

Oh, for those of you that STILL want to see if it was really me, here's additional screenshots.

As I come across more O.S., I will link them in a special section of my links page.
