    • Name: Eyru

    Area of Expertise: The art of disguise. Eyru's extensive experience in the RPG forums has lent him?/her?/them? the ability to change his/her/their very identity at a whim, with such a fine degree of control that even his/her/their closest friends can be easily deceived. Because of his, no one knows Eyru's true gender, or what he/she/they really look(s) like.

    Mask: Mahiki, of course. Though Eyru can disguise him/herself well enough without the mask, his/her/their mastery of the Mahiki allows for incredibly elaborate and foolproof deception.

    Weapon / Element: Eyru's sole weapon is a simple staff imbued with the element of air. This tool can change shape with Eyru's appearance, and even appear to change element, but its innate powers cannot change.

    Side: Eyru appears to be good, but because his/her/their true identity is such an enigma, nobody really knows. 

    Motivation: Eyru loves knowledge and discovery; he/she/they would embark on a quest for the sheer thrill of adventure. His/her/their experience in RPGs has lent him/her/them a love of good stories, and adventures make good stories.

    Fatal Flaw: Eyru's powers of disguise are extraordinary because he/she/they has/have the ability to become the identity he/she/they wish(es). Because of this, even Eyru does not truly know who he/she/they is/are: his/her/their inner identity is hidden even from himself/herself/themselves.

    Other Details: Generally leans towards pacifism and peace.

  1. I've wondered about some of those lines myself, especially, "Must I release those who should never see the light of day?" I think all this speculation about Makuta is correct in that is character was originally envisioned as a much more tragic and complicated character than the Evil Chessmaster we eventually got.

  2. Ten ounces is a lovely size. 8oz is a bit too small (although I don't mind an 8oz cappuccino now and then), and 16oz can be too big (although you wouldn't guess it from how many grande drips I can pound back in an hour). 

     

    The coffee I bought that night was decaf espresso (not for me!!!).

     

    But the coffee I'm currently drinking is actually Komodo Dragon! I'm pretty sure it's the oddest coffee I've ever tasted. Sometimes it's definitely too "herbal" for me: I'm pretty plain Jane when it comes to coffee. I'd say Starbucks's House Blend is probably my favourite.

  3. Zox and GSR have given you everything you need, I think. I know I jumped in when I knew practically nothing, and still had a lot of fun! The BZPRPG can be overwhelming at first, so I'd definitely second the advice to start small, with one character and one area.

     

    If you need any help, feel free to shoot me a PM. :)

  4. I never particularly cared for them (although I do recall writing one a very long time ago). The only songfic I remember being genuinely impressed by was Tahu's Concrete Angel, about a girl whose only escape from her life is her Bionicle toys.

     

    Maybe they just went out of style. It's hard to tell, though: activity in the Library has dipped so low that it's difficult to tell the difference between an unpopular style and a simple lack of writers.

  5. Why on earth would you want to be left-handed?

     

    School desks are built for righties. We smear everything we write, and get ink all over our hands. We can't write comfortably in spiral binders or notebooks. Most tools are designed for righties. Left-handed sports equipment is more expensive. Left-handed musical instruments are harder to find.

     

    It's true that being left-handed has forced me to use both my dominant and non-dominant hands, but that's simply a survival skill. Using a mouse with my right hand doesn't make me ambidextrous: it just means I've been forced to use something in an unnatural way, and eventually become accustomed to it.

     

    It's a righties' world, really; wishing you were left-handed is kind of like winning the lottery and then trying to give the ticket back. It's only "cool" because of its rarity.
