MMM Character Thread

[Jakey]

Okay, well, I kinda stole this from Chrombles at Teisel's board, but I thought it was a really good idea that could really come in handy over here at the good ol' Triple M.  I think both Lunche and Yubi can attest to this. Basically it's just a reference thread for anyone wanting to start up an MMM fanfic of some sort, and doesn't have a good grasp on how people act around here.

All you gotta do is post a picture of yourself and a few important details about your character.  This gives any aspiring writer a rough guideline as to who you are, n' stuff.

Here's a couple tips for writing a good character outline:

-Remember that other people are using this to base their stories on, so whatever you put has to be SOLID.  The absolute essence of who your person (or mushroom) is. 

-Really think about the tendencies your character may have, as well as their overall demeanor and attitude and things of that nature.

-Sometimes it helps to EXAGGERATE certain aspects of your person so that it's easier for a writer to pick out the desired details.  If your character is dark and mysterious, make it obvious that this is the case.

Also be aware that if this thread gets too long with chatter, it will be a more difficult task to find the page with your character on it, so please, post once and only once to show your character and that's it.

If you are still confused, here's my own example:

JAKE the MUSHROOM

Age: ADULT (I find it difficult to pinpoint an exact age for Jake the Mushroom, so I just give a ballpark estimate)
Gender: MALE
Height: 1'1''
Weight: 20 lbs
Basic Orientation: FUNNY/MYSTERIOUS
Bio: Jake was grown deep in the heart of Texas, and was left in the Deep South to search for a home.  At last, he found it- MCHAT.  Being a young fungus at the time, he found it difficult to earn the respect of the older members.  After awhile of trying to earn cred, he gave up and decided to travel the world in search of answers.  Many years passed before he returned to the Matrix, but when he did, he returned inexplicably rich (both in wisdom and in finances).  He was ready to join the others in the MMM. 

But instead of being respected equally, he soon found himself categorized with the sidekicks, the backups, the nobodies, mostly because of his stature.  He knew the only way to beat his lack of tallness was to become more outspoken.  In the past few years he has taken a more prominent role in the MMM community.  Though not always taken seriously, it has nothing to do with his small size- it's simply because he prefers to joke and goof off.

He leads a group called the New Mushroom Order (NMO). 

Known for his random outbursts and comments that border on the edge of mental retardation, to his unexplainable moments of pure genius, the true nature of this fellow is difficult to pinpoint.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

And that's all there is to it.  Like I said, I think this could be extremely beneficial for everyone involved in the Creation Station.  Also, could a mod maybe pin this so it'll be easier to find?  Thank you.

Your buddy,
-Jake

I would almost think that it would be wise to let vets sum each other up rather than write for themselves, at least in terms of character, anyway. Write a bio by all means, but summing up your attitudes almost seems like masturbation.

[ChaosVortex]

Uncle Edgecrusher, can I use your chainsaw on the neighbor's dog?

[Edgecrusher]

...

Sure.

I was gonna say similar.

[Majikn]

Since there's no way this is NOT going to be bogged down with chat, Jake, you can either link to specific posts by editting your first post, or we can have all this moved to a separate thread for this discussion.

Either way I'd agree about having someone else sum up your general tendencies and attitude, except when people have their characters different from their own personalities, which does happen sometimes.

[Jakey]

Actually, I agree.  I found it pretty hard to write that kind of stuff for myself.

And I'll just link to specific posts.

Alright alright.  So if you were going to summarize me, what would you say?

[Mikero]

You summary is good the way it is, I think.

[preventerWIND]

Yeah, all we should do is paint a pretty picture of ourselves.

But I never expected Jake to weigh 20 lbs... what a fatass.

[TheRedPriest]

Here's mine:

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Name: Sanoguchi (Sano), He also enjoys being called Captain even though he isn't a captain of any kind or even in any military group.
Age: Somewhere between 17 - 21... Yeah, that sounds about right.
Basic Orientation: Playful
Height: 6 feet, 9 inches
Weight: 189 lbs
Class: Cowboy
Current Sidekick: Nova
Role Models: Kamina, Captain Bravo, and Ares
Bio: Sanoguchi's past is ridden with uncertainty and plot holes, apparently he has traveled around the world and beyond a few times and has learned many things doing so. It seems apparent that he rarely uses anything he learns though. Sanoguchi often pretends to be a big tough guy, but he's just a big pansy on the inside, but he'll never admit to it. Sanoguchi also says he covers one of his eyes with his hair because he was born with only one eyes, but he's never moved his hair from in front of it, so no one really knows if it's true or not. One of Sanoguchi's most admirable skills is that he has the ability to stand around for long periods of time without moving or saying anything.
Likes: Comfortable clothing, being alive, guns, giant robots, awesome sunglasses, hats, long vests, blue jeans, fast cars, women who respect themselves, muffins, playing music too loud, taking long walks, smooth jazz, rock, dogs, and sleeping.
Dislikes: Eye patches, skins rashes, dieing, being yelled at, being turned down, be yelled at by people who run away before he can say anything, crying children, children in general, old people, Emo music, most rap, golden boys, skanky girls, people who hurt others for no reason, being scared, being in pain, bleeding, throwing up, being sick, the Phillips CD-i, people with multicolored hair, people who lie, having his things stolen, being judged by his appearance, injustice, evil, and expensive hair care products.
Fun Fact: Sanoguchi likes running around in the rain and splashing in puddles but he hates when his shoes get all wet.

This was fun.

[KPL]

I had this fan-fiction character called Jodo Kast, based off two Star Wars bounty hunters. The sprite was just Vile from X3. I even had a site back then, haha!

God, those were some lousy stories I wrote. I'll try to find them so I can bash myself.

[Xearez]

I'll try to find them so I can bash myself.

If anyone wants to add anything PM it to me and I will put it in.

[KPL]

It's indeed better to let other members make an analysis of you. Kind of like a SWOT; it usually is an eyeopener to see how other members experience the 'you'.

I leave the rest up to people like Mikero. I'd add some more image material but the post is full.

[Edgecrusher]

That drawing makes you look so... dreamy.

[Orange Devil]

Yeah like a sexy little 9 year old.

[ASR]

The many faces of ASR have been included in a single magnificent image. Love them. Love them all.
Everyone who knows me sees several different sides to me. I can be a rude dick, but I can also be a loveable goof. I can also be absolutely insane.

ASR
The mini-buddy generic toon version of myself. Silly, hyper, and goofy, but mainly a caring fellow.
HEIGHT: Short. Very short.
WEIGHT: Light. Very light.

A-Robb
My gangsta' alter-ego. Quiet, rude, crude, and badass.
HEIGHT: 4 foot 3
WEIGHT: 105 lbs

Ayesar
The newest incarnation - an insane spaceman. ABsolutely off-the-walls insane, only resorts to English if needed. I went for a Bill Watterson-style with the art for this one.
HEIGHT: Short. Very short.
WEIGHT: Light. Very light.

ASpRite
Just a sprite version, for visual purposes. Credit goes to Snare.

AShRoom
Esteemed member of the New Mushroom Order!

[preventerWIND]

SPACEMAN ##### YEAH!!!

[ASR]

I know, right? I don't much like the feet, but everything else I am quite proud of. Especially the "A" emblem.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Dude, WS, how long have you looked like you were from Fire Emblem?
I miss your Matrixish look.

[Lunchebox]

Dude, WS, how long have you looked like you were from Fire Emblem?
I miss your Matrixish look.

I'm inclined to agree.

Whatever happened to our Cyber-punk albino?

[KPL]

If I remember correctly, he kinda looked that way for most of the time. What is a matrixish look, anyway? Lazerz? Bustahz!?! I mean, he looks cool enough.

[Mikero]

The look his has up now is the quintessential Kian look. Agent White is one of many supplementary ideas like KianRO. All of which are kickass, mind.

[KPL]

The look his has up now

His Has! I'm so gonna use that one, because it's just plain LOL.

ONTopic; he's had about the same look from the first time he got his sprite up, correct?

[Mikero]

Yeah, uh, er, uhm, yea, uh, that was, uh, totally, erm, on purpose. ¬_¬;;

[KPL]

Do not be afraid, for I only LOLed at it because it made me LOL.

And we all know making people laugh is a good thing!

[ASR]

Not if it's because you're being made fun of... that's how school shooting start!

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, but while you're bleeding to death, they start laughing; and making people laugh is a good thing!

Everybody wins!

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Dude, WS, how long have you looked like you were from Fire Emblem?
I miss your Matrixish look.

I'm inclined to agree.

Whatever happened to our Cyber-punk albino?

Lunche agreeing with me!? What the hell!?

[ASR]

It's best not to make a big deal out of it.

Mike is confused, but right. That design is 5 years old now and I still like it. Fire Emblem was one of the many sources of inspiration. The drawing was done by Cyron.

[Cherry]

I have many characters named Cherry that all started as alter-egoes, but they've all transformed due to usage in fanfiction.  So, now there are none that I would call me... 

Maybe it's time to create a true alter ego.  One not chained to any existing setting except the Internet, itself.  This has got to be the easiest character creation yet - after all, I'm only using myself. ^_^

Crappy Pokemon-Style sprite.  Those are supposed to be elven ears.  Yes, the shading on the jacket sucks.


Name: Cherry
Aliases: Kirsche, but only on sites where "Cherry" is taken.
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Preferred Weapon: Staff, Bow/Arrow
Fighting Style: Healing/Support
Personality: I'll let others judge this.
Bio: Same as above.

[Mikero]

The look his has up now is the quintessential Kian look. Agent White is one of many supplementary ideas like KianRO. All of which are kickass, mind.

Mike is confused, but right.

I didn't really mean to say that the RO style was a supplementary idea, if that's what you mean. I just meant that it was another variation on a character, so to speak.

And I meant the 'his has'.

[Mikero]

Hahahahaha I forgot that was there actually.
