[ When you're scared out of your wits and you've been throwing up all morning, what do you do? Ignore it like a champ. ]

so not that this isn’t all mind-blowing as get out, but i’m a little disappointed.

i mean: we all get drafted into a magical war -- and we don’t even get an enchanted sword? or a wise bearded mentor figure?

don’t get me wrong, the superpowers are cool and all. but you can’t win a war with an army that walked off the set of trans-dimensional maury. we gotta get some proper heroic names going.

i’ll be the SKELETON KING OF THE ANCIENT BONE WASTES (and rakish good looks). the rest of you gotta make your own -- but i’ll be a generous lich lord and lend you all a small helping hand.

[ Has your character been starting to forget things? What was their favourite colour, again? ]

'Horrific Conqueror of the Creeping Terror'

...oh wow, I sound awesome!

[hypnopomp]

hot damn you totally do. 9/10 would consider running in terror. you're in hel?

[dishonouring]

Names do not make heroes, nor do they win wars. This is pointless.

[hypnopomp]

that doesn't sound like a winner's attitude to me

[tigers]

Supreme Hunter of the Creeping Terror don't make for a terrible title, I must admit. It describes me damn bloody well.

text;

[hypnopomp]

oh shit yeah? do you hunt terrors or inspire them? because like i guess orange vests are pretty terrifying if you're a deer

[averagemedium]

I don't know, 'horrific ghost of the north wind' isn't too impressive. Sort of sounds like you just haunt places and chill them, you know? 'Beware, or I'll lower the temperature in your house very uncomfortably' is a little shit as far as threats go.

So is this for entertainment, for info, or just for the hell of it?

text

[hypnopomp]

uh 'not too impressive' what the fuck are you on man that's rad as shit.

like: just imagine some frazetta painting of a specter with glowing eyes coming out of a skull face or something looming over a frozen wasteland and the barbarian hero down below. picture that? that's the horrific ghost of the north wind's selfie.

but hey, if you want to just make people feel like they should put on a sweater or some shit instead, that's cool too. i'm not here to dictate. i'm just doing my part for the public good, and all humble as hell on it too.

what kind of loser leaves infrared off the favorite color list
it isnt even pretension to acknowledge it
thats just common decency

[hypnopomp]

sorry man. anything i personally disagree with's 'pretension', them's the rules. so what you see infrared then? that's pretty cyberpunk, nice choice. classic.

[he's not sure whether to be happy or embarrassed.]

[hypnopomp]

Well me-oh-my, guess now you and I gotta talk.

[ He's not snickering. He's probably not -- alright, well, he's trying to muffle it. D for effort. ]

Okay, so take away all the categories and requirements and stuff, what would you pick then?

i was gonna tell you you're doing it wrong but to be honest i kinda like it better

do you get stuck to the undersides of desks

Horrific Barbarian of the Smashing.

Hmm. That's approaching a little too tabletop, but I'll take it. Wait, can I take some creative license with this?

voice;

[hypnopomp]

Hell no, no imagination allowed.

Nah, go for it. What's wrong with a little tabletop, though? At least it means experience in giant-slaying.

super muscular elementalist badass, esquire (what's an esquire?)

I had to go with the ??? option for the first one because I can't remember when my birthday is which is super weird but I like being called super muscular anyway.

I've always wanted a wise bearded mentor figure to teach me karate.

[hypnopomp]

mostly it's just a magazine. super muscular elementalist badass magazine. not bad!

uh

that is weird though

is there someone you could ask? or like a calendar or something? about the birthday, not the karate and facial hair, but i figure that's worth asking on too.

You may get weapons if you'd like. Some may have runic magic imbued into them. [ kaworu has a 12 foot robot. it's really nice ]

And according to the names you've given, I'd say "Dread, the merciful".

I don't have a favorite color.

Video.

[hypnopomp]

What, how? Like... [ He looks honestly puzzled (if a bit more seasick), gesturing loosely. ] Just wish real hard, or write to Santa? Or is there a Walmart or something?

Can't think of much less merciful than dread, but that's alright -- contradictions're the foundation of antiheroes. You still got starring role.

C'mon, though, really. Not even one you like a little more than the rest?

[Video]

[okamichild]

Does the name really matter?

[Video]

[hypnopomp]

[ Oh god, a kid. What do. ]

'Course it does. Names're just words, yeah? And if you don't go using the right word for something, how's anyone gonna know what you mean? Like asking for, uh, ice cream, when what you really want's a hot dog.

[torchwoodteaboy]

Not that this isn't fascinating, but I pity the poor sod who ends up the 'Breathtaking Pixie Badass, Esq.' Adding to that, I'm not sure mine even makes sense?

[Ianto may or may not be turning to the network to try and distract himself from the current goings-on in his life.]

voice;

[hypnopomp]

I'd tell you I don't need your pity, but my birthday's in June. Anyway, if you're gonna be critical, don't be mysterious. What'd you get? If it don't make sense, we'll fix it.

If it makes sense to make it make sense in the first place, that is. Can't go ruining a good thing.

[boogerman]

Someone gives you a magical bracelet and this is what you do with it?

[hypnopomp]

public service? hell yeah. i love my community.

pony up. what'd you get

you gotta type the kitten face after it though. not sure it works without that. i don't know how we'll pronounce that with the rest of your title but we'll figure it out

text; this is my first comment in the game with him i haven't even intro mingled you're welcome

Favoritism is rude.

[hypnopomp]

[xxii]

Horrific Princess the Merciful??? Can I get a reroll??

[but she's not a princess!]

[hypnopomp]

see i'm tempted to say no just because you asked

but since i'm so benevolent and all powerful we'll go with a yes. what name do you want if you get to pick?

i'd go for pixie. not a lot of pixies yet, and they're cool. you could get wings or a quirky indie soundtrack or something to go along with
