    Face it, everyone has a character on a TV program or in a film who they base themselves on, and try to live up to.
    Here's mine:

    So I think Sumiki deserves one.

    EDIT: I have bump-type-thing'd this blog entry so that y'all don't forget about it. Especially not Sumiki, who may want to put a link to it in his sig. But that's only a suggestion. :sarcastic2:
    Also, credit for that awesome banner goes to Soran.

    Well, Onarax asked me to post this, due to Hubert's absence (you musta really ticked him off, Hub. He made a meme and everything!).
     
    You may remember him mentioning about getting a group of RP'ers together for a nice little chat, preferably with tea and biscuits. Well, okay, maybe not the last part.
    Anyhow, the two topics that he expects you, the public, to choose from are:
    Character Creation (how people make characters, their inspiration, etceteras);
    Player-Created Additions to the game (how people make things such as the Parakuka, and NEX, and those other examples Onarax gave me that I can't be bothered copy-pasting).
     
    Discuss.

    Should I become a Premier Member, and keep this blog going?
    Should I become a Premier Member, and forget about this blog?
    Should I just say something along the lines of 'Screw all this, I'm going to play Legend of Zelda'?
     
    Just want your opinions.

    You read it right, people. I know this personality-switcheroo was only supposed to last 24 hours, but what can I say, I like it here.
    So, your paradoxophobic friend won't be returning until Monday the 9th of April. As I said, I'm here all week.
    Have a nice time, and hope you don't die along the way.
    Because I will kill you.
    I lie, you're fine.
    For now.
    Agreed. You're all screwed. >:-D

    Well, Tillian began to become a meme.
    And then they Chuck-Norrised him. So, now, BZPRPG News and Discussion has gotten off-topic, and I have made a blog post.
    Discuss.
     
    BTW, I heard he can slam a revolving door.

    Well, you've all enjoyed the caption contest, and it will continue once I've got everything sorted out.
    However, I have a competition for y'all!
     

     
    You have to create yourselves a character. The character entries should be given in the comments section, and I will choose the winner.
     
    The winning character will appear in my epic, Dark Mirror (Part I) and inside a short story that I will publish in my blog.
     
    Describe your characters however you wish. You can do it BZPRPG-style, you can just write a paragraph, heck, you can even draw your character and write about them! Don't just draw the character on their own, though.
     
    Entry period closes 15th April.

    UPDATE: Okay, barely anyone posted here, so I'm extending this competition to this day next month, the 5th of June. Please enter. Please. For the sake of my sanity, if anything. Also, as Dark Mirror: Part I is over, the character will instead star in my upcoming epic, The Eleventh Hour.

    The sun is a creation of deepest evil, designed to destroy us all with its mind-numbing heat.
    This blog entry will forevermore act as proof that there are those of us who do not enjoy this weather. There is good weather, and there is this.
    SO, WILL YOU JOIN THE GROUP TO FIGHT AGAINST THE SUNLIGHT (OR AT THE VERY LEAST COMPLAIN ABOUT IT)?

    PS: During Orchestra today, the teacher/conductor decided that we would be allowed to go fifteen minutes early, so that some of us could get tanned and the others could get sunburned.
    And being the awesome guy I am, I pointed out that I don't burn or tan; I sparkle and then turn to dust. B)

    Alright, this is where us staff people can discuss my entry for RPG Contest #24, Fatal Error.
     

    Banner made by Bulik
     
    INTRODUCTION:
     
    The room is cold, and sterile. The walls are blank, apart from a door and a small speaker, and there are lights built into the ceiling.
    “Hello! Allow us to introduce New Spherus Magna, the perfect holiday destination! We have it all here. Do you want to hang-glide? To feel the ocean spray on your face? Or maybe you just want to lie back in the sun with a good book? No problem! We have everything you could possibly want, and more!
    “If you close your eyes, you will be placed in stasis for the next three months of the six-month journey. After performing certain exercises due to legal requirements, you will be returned to stasis, and the journey will be over in a flash! See you soon!”
    - - -
    Three months later:
    “Greetings! You have been in stasis for NINETY-ONE days. Due to legal requirements, you must now walk around the cubicle twice before you can return to stasis! Thankyou for your co-operation.”
    - - -
    Another three months later:
    “GreeTINGs! yOu HAvE beEn iN staSIS for NINE-NINE-NINE-NINE-NINE-ZZZzzz...”
    The lights flicker, and go out, the only illumination in the room a small red bulb on the front of the speaker.
    “Hello?” The voice now on the speaker is natural, not produced by a computer like its predecessor. “Look, if you’re alive in there, you’re gonna need to get up now. There’s a door on the wall facing you. It was electronically locked, but I’ve had to reroute the power. In a few seconds these speakers will go off too, but-“
    The light on the speaker flicks off instantly, and the room is in complete darkness. The door opens easily, and the corridor outside is lit by a dull, flickering light in the ceiling. There’s a small, circular window to the right. Through it, the sky is violet, and the sand black. The plants are dead, and the water seems poisonous. The ship is in a clearing, closed off on all sides by withering trees. There is a small group of people below, and there’s an open door next to the window, and there are steps leading down to where the group is standing. One of the members of the group, a grey Agori, seems to be in charge. As you approach him, he looks over at you, and gestures at you to join the group, before beginning to speak...
    - - -
    Welcome to New Spherus Magna.
    Oh, were you expecting some kind of paradise? Too bad.
    What’s that? You want a refund? I don’t think you’ve quite caught on to what’s happening here, mate. You’re on a planet, quite literally in the middle of nowhere, and it’s been devastated at some point or another by an apocalyptic event which the brochure just so happened to forget about. And you’re stuck here.
    Oh, and the locals? They like us alright. The same way that one might like a steak, only they can’t be bothered cooking and/or killing us before they start eating. No, I’m not exaggerating. I was on the last ship that came here, and I’m the only one from it who’s still alive. But don’t think that I got out perfectly fine – one of them got my right hand. This one’s here’s a mechanical one I built myself out of scrap from the old ship.
    But that’s beside the point. Now, first things first, I’m going to put a few rules in place: if you leave the clearing on your own, it will result in death. If you leave the clearing in a group, it will result in death. If you leave the clearing in a small group led by me, you may only suffer crippling injuries if you’re standing close enough to me, but for everyone else, it will result in death. If you stand too close to the edge of the clearing, it will result in death. If you push someone else out of the clearing, it will result in a dissatisfactory remark on your permanent record, immediately followed by death.
    Is the whole death thing cleared up then? Good.
    Now would probably be a good time to tell you that, even if you do stay in the clearing, you’re going to die anyway. They’re scared of the ship at the moment, but soon enough they’re going to get brave. We’ll have to get them before they get to us, which will unfortunately mean that most of the party sent out will die. But if we defeat them, we can – no, we will allow the others to survive. But it’s not time for that yet. For now, you can just get used to each-other’s company and build up defences around the clearing.
    If you want to know my name, I’m Keuirce. And, as I said before, welcome to New Spherus Magna. I hope you enjoy being here. Because you’re sure as Karz not leaving.

    THE STORY:
     
    You awaken on a strange ship, with only just enough power to keep a few flickering lights on. The ship was made to take you to New Spherus Magna, ‘the perfect holiday destination’.
    Only something’s gone wrong, and this isn’t the place you expected to arrive in. Although it is definitely New Spherus Magna, something has gone wrong with it – the sand is black, the water and sky are purple, the soil is grey and the plants are white, withering and dying, just like the planet itself.
    Oh, and by the way, for the time being, you’re stuck here.
    It’ll be quite a while before another ship arrives, and you have no idea what’s on that planet with you. Unfortunately, one of the survivors from another ship – an Agori named Keuirce – does. And they are not friendly...
    The force driving the story here will be the players. Now, this just seems like your ordinary RPG at the moment, but there is a twist. Your characters are in constant and real danger. If you put your character in danger, chances are, they will die. And your characters will almost always be in danger.
    There is a general outline for the story, but there are two possible endings depending on your actions as players. To put it simply, there’s a ‘good ending’ and there’s a ‘bad ending’.
    Your main goal, as you are told in the introduction, is surviving long enough that another ship can arrive to save you. Of course, there is another objective: there’s a volcano, not too far away from your clearing, which is where Keuirce’s ship crashed. If you can get there, you can take pieces from it in order to repair you own ship, and get away from New Spherus Magna.
    Of course, it’s not going to be anywhere near as easy as I’m making it sound here...

    LOCATIONS:
     
    THE CLEARING
    This is where your character will start out, and where your ship landed. It's surrounded an all sides by withering trees. The aliens are scared by the ship at the moment, but they should soon build up enough courage to go in.
     
    THE FOREST
    A dark forest, filled with dying trees. There is a lake in it, visible from the ship, but the water looks poisonous. Aliens lurk throughout it, so it's very dangerous to go in.
     
    THE VOLCANO
    The aliens' base of operations, and the site of Keuirce's ship. The place is swarming with aliens, so going in would be suicide.

    CHARACTER CREATION:
     
    Alright, here’s the interesting part: creating your character!
    You can choose from Glatorian, Agori, Skakdi, Vortixx, Toa and Matoran. The allowed masks are pretty much any mask except the Mask of Creation, the Ignika, the Vahi, the Olmak, the Olisi, the Krahkann, or the Avohkii. You can have custom species or masks, but they have to be approved. No canon characters, please. All characters must be posted in the Profiles topic, and approved by staff, before you can play as them. Here is a basic profile layout:
     
    Name: Your character’s name.
    Species: Your character’s species.
    Gender: Your character’s gender, male or female.
    Personality: What is your character’s personality like?
    Powers: Your character’s elemental powers (if applicable).
    Kanohi: Your character’s Kanohi (if applicable).
    Appearance: Here’s where you describe what your character looks like.
    Equipment: Weapons, armour, shields... you name it, it goes here.
    Biography: Your character’s history.
    Weakness(es): Yes, your character has a weakness. All characters have weaknesses, including staff characters.
     
    Feel free to add more detail if you wish.
     
    STAFF PROFILES:
     
    Using Less Vorex:
     
    Kal Grochi:
     
    Doctor Wotz:
     
    RULES:
     
     
    All the normal BZPower and RPG Forum rules apply. Check them in the topic if you don’t know them already.
    The rules will be enforced by the staff, who are listed below:
     
    Using Less Vorex: The evil overlord. He is in charge of all the other staff, and therefore is the only one able to smite and/or kill staff characters. Pretty awesome, right? He also has a tendency to kill PCs who put themselves in danger, but only when the situation calls for it.
     
    Kal Grochi: The insane guy. Vorex hired Kal because he felt like it, and because Kal would increase the awesomeness of his RPG, with lightsabers, and other really cool ideas. Also, unlike Vorex, Kal can only kill PCs if he gets permission from Vorex.
     
    Doctor Wotz: The guy without a title. He has the same powers as Kal, except he was hired due to the comedy aspects of his writing. Vorex decided that they needed someone who could write funny stuff, other than him, on the staff, because it’d mean that there would be Vorex smitings, Kal smitings, and Wotz smitings, even if they didn’t happen all that often because everyone was too scared of them.

    Well, first, I went to the zoo today. Expect photos at some point.
     
    Second, I had an argument with my (idiotic) friend the other day. He was CONVINCED that Rainbow Dash was the best pony. Not so, said I, 'tis Derpy. The argument went on for AGES, and neither of us has emerged victorious as of yet.
     
    The caption contest was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, but it should be back this week.
     
    My new epic, Dark Mirror: Part I has begun.
     
    I am bored.

    EDIT: Okay, I've added in all the stuff. There are two rewards up for grabs, too!
    REWARD ONE: Guess correctly what the orange represents.
    REWARD TWO: Guess correctly what (or, more specifically, who) the alternate shade of pink in 'Friends' represents. REWARD TWO has gone to Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons. I will not reveal what it is yet, because I still have to make up what it is. He guessed 'girlfriend' which is close enough. XP

    If you wish to answer, send me the answers by PM. Answers in the comments box will be deleted. But feel free to comment.

    Alright, you all enjoyed the common sense quiz, so I'll give you something: The final answer to a question that has been debated for centuries.
     
    If you were stuck on a desert island, and could have one thing, what would it be?

    so has anyone else noticed that moffat introduced a boyfriend for clara right before she's meant to be leaving?
     
    because, you know, companions can't just leave the TARDIS on their own, it has to be because of a man, to think otherwise would be silly
     
     
    also, danny
    i really want to like him, guys
    i really do
    can he just be a nice guy
    why can't he be nicer
    why is he threatening clara with ending their very forced relationship if she won't tell him the intimacies of her travels with the doctor
     
    also 'what other kind of love is there' oh my god what
    what
    what
     
     
    doctor pls stop insulting clara, it's not funny, it's not sassy, it's mean
    there is a generation of little boys growing up thinking that's appropriate and it's not, just the same as judging by the interwebs there's a generation of little girls growing up thinking that the doctor wouldn't like them because they're 'fat' or their eyes are too big
     
     
    can we acknowledge how problematic this is
    in fact can people contribute some more issues so that we can make sure we're covering all bases
     
    i want a master reference post for everything that's wrong with it right now so that we can come back later and be like
    'oh we were so young and innocent'
    'we had no idea how much worse this was going to get'
     
    extra stuff like: female antagonists have to have black suits and red lipstick and updos and whenever they need a 'cheeky' child actor they choose a black girl and also the general treatment of PoC characters in this
    also the doctor is being so mean like what
