History Tropers / Yarrunmace

* One cannot know a person. One can only gain a perception of a person through the sensation of a person. The person exists, though ti cannot be observed directly. However, it exists independantly of what one sees of them. One can change while the other does not. One can cease while the other continues to exist. As such, the opinions of others should not be considered a part of the true essence of a person.

* Human society is based on discontent. We do not act to improve ourselves unless we are displeased with how we are. If it wasn't for the inherent error/sin in the world, we never would have advanced out of the stone age.

* The world is cyclical and ever-changing. Things happen, things cease, things happen again. This has been going on since the creation of life on this planet. It's older than me. I can't stop it.

''The king rises forth against auspicious odds and falls under the depths.''

*** Well, mon, the same group who made this tripe also made ''SonicColors'', and I can safely say that [[IGotBetter they got better.]] A ''lot'' better.

I'm sorry, I'm not really good at explaining things. Can I just ramble? OK, thanks.

* Any project that asks you to create a concluding chapter after the actual concluding chapter is stupid. It's like an unplanned sequal made only for the money. The story is already resolved; the hero's won, the villain's dead, and the UST is broken. Adding something after that is just prolonging a story that already ended, like puppeteering a corpse. The only way that such a project would work is if the ending was left relatively open or if there is a lack of a resolution.

* To write a journal is not pointless. It is not an exercise in futility. It is art. Artists, proud painters, the illustrator with his charcoal, the photographer with his lens, it is they who depict the human body. While anyone can come close to it, it is the poets and the musicians who can pull the human soul out and bring it to the light. The human mind, that is left to the writer. To write ajournal is to paint a portrait of a human mind. The journal is the apex of realism. The journal is art

* KnightInSourArmor: I really should be cynical more often, considering the things I've seen. [[ThousandYardStare The things I've seen...]]wait, where were we?

* There are two types of actions within stories: things that the characters do, and things that happen to the characters. In general, characters usually do good things (from their perspective) while bad things happen to the characters. The former is to make the characters likable and the latter is to promote conflict. As such, good things usually happen to the characters at the end of the story, as no more conflict is needed.

* Disney games, in general, are good...as long as they are not tie-ins. Will they be really good? Innovative? Gut-bustingly awesome? Probably not. The combat will probably be unimaginative, the controls may be weak, there'll be a few examples of horrible level design and, for some unusual reason, there will always be problems with the camera. Always. However, a Disney game always feels good. It always feels like someone put effort, time, and a bit of heart into it. The characters are always warm, the environment is alway awe-inspiring. When you play a Disney game, you explore a world of wonder and magic. Quite fitting, considering Disney's responsible for the "happiest places on earth". [[/folder]]

''There once was a man who walked the world and carried the world on his back.''

* MSPaint: Very, ''very'' fond of it, and occasionally good at it. Only found out how to fix the JPEG induced pixel cloud after using MS Paint for about a year. Still upset about that.

Hello! This is Yarrun here, denzien of the right side of the forums.

* You have no idea how happy it makes me seeing not just one but two tropes that I've created in another troper's post signature. It makes me feel BiggerThanJesus. --@/SeanMurrayI

Hello. My name is...well, you can't know my true name. You may call me Yarrunmace. I'm an internet surfer/lover of books/gamer/cartoon fan and devoted Seventh-Day Adventist...and apparently the only open one on TvTropes. Kind of lonely, really. Anyways, I'm not exactly a hardcore troper, but I make entries, and edit where I find it necessary.

%%I'm mainly a cartoon fan, having grown up on EdEddNEddy, pre-movie SpongebobSquarepants, TeenTitans and DextersLaboratory (I didn't have ToonDisney for most of my life.). Due to my religious beliefs, I tend to stay away from adult comedy cartoons like SouthPark or Family Guy. But nowadays, with all of my old favorite channels
([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Disney Channel]]) jumping the shark (CartoonNetwork, {{Nickelodeon}}), I don't really watch TV anymore, as the Internet is much more generous with entertainment.

* If someone is actually [[TheChosenOne chosen]] to do some great thing and receive eternal praise, they can do anything. After all, if you're eventually going to stop the apocalypse or overthrow the Eternian dictatorship, it doesn't really matter if you [[Kleptomaniac rob the country's citizens]] or fill your apparement with hookers and blow. History will still remember you as a hero.

* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Let's see, I have one original story, one Super Smash Bros fic, a slew of short stories, an arrangement of Perfect Math Class, a Touhou medley, a slew of short stories, and, most recently, a prequel to ''Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil'' on the backburners.

''List of Role Playing Characters''

'''Yarrunmace''': The standard generic adventurer that I use for pretty much any story, with some various tweaks between stories. Black, about 15-18, always prefers melee weapons ([[HeroesPreferSwords specifically things with a blade]]), usually a HotBlooded IdiotHero. If he's not wearing armor, he's wearing a t-shirt with Hikari on the back. Occasionally worships CrystalDragonJesus\\

'''Hikaru''': Based on my first avatar, he is a piece of paper, usually as big as a square foot. Can be turned into anything that has an origami equivalent. Forced to wander the world for reasons I haven't explained yet, he usually tries to avoid conflict and escapes dangerous situations as quickly as possible (though he will try to help those who he finds good). When teaming up with Yarrunmace, Hikaru serves as the [[RedOniBlueOni blue oni]] in their [[HeterosexualLifePartners partnership]].\\
\\
'''Umi/Fuu/Byakko''': Hikaru's [[strike: siblings]] [[strike: friends]] fellow kanji papers, also based on my avatars.
* Umi has the power of water control and sea-related origami. She's an incredibly HotBlooded [[BloodKnight warrior]], and usually uses her water ability to [[HollywoodDensity increase her density, allowing her to hit harder]].
* Fuu has the power to turn into flying creatures and manipulation of wind. A somewhat ditzy researcher, she flits about the world in a quest for knowledge.
* Byakko can turn into a white tiger at will, and any other land animal with the help of an origami expert. Unlike the other kanji paper, he can't change his size, so any animal he turns into ends up a foot long. Despite his diminutive stature, he's more than willing to prove his mettle at [[ThePesci the slightest provocation]]
\\
'''Yarrunmace (Salaryman)''': [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=ywpze6ryb94gnqcci7qwvqif&page=9#206 For this thread.]] Essentially, a divorced single-parent Japanese salaryman who somehow got mixed up with gods on the workplace. He then accepts a "division transfer" from the [[Tropers/GabrielGloom God of the underworld]], turning him into, essentially, a white-haired [[KeysToTheKingdom Denizen]] that can predict the exact (more or less) date of death of anything up to concepts and emotions.\\
\\
'''Todd/Bones''': [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=y9y6ttkjg3ku5tg67gup4qdc&page=10#247 From this thread]]: A [[ShrinkingViolet quiet]] [[ExtremeDoormat dude]] who ApologisesALot. Very traumatized from the cruise ship sinking, he occasionally switches to a more unhinged personality referred to as Bones. Unlike Mr. Black, Todd retains memories from his insane periods. Probably the closest persona to my own. That fact is kind of worrying.\\

* NamesTheSame: Often, the Yarrunmace in one thread is different than the Yarrunmace in another. Applies doubly to Salaryman!Yarrunmace
* NonActionGuy: Hikaru. As he is, essentially, an immobile piece of talking paper, his options are limited
* RunningGag[=/=]TrademarkFavoriteFood: Popcorn, originating from [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=8y6wxpc3mw5chdkzfxl13xqk&page=43#1053 here]]. Ironically, I can't stand the stuff in real life
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: I managed to create [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=c96cy2y9zb50jjw9b0nh7ol5&page=15 one significantly successful thread]] on Forum Games based on something [[Tropers/{{Anelaidlives}} this guy]] suggested. After the thread spent a long period in a coma, I spent about two-three weeks [[EntryPimp entry pimping]] it. I've stopped now, though.
* ThreadNecromancer: When I'm bored, I tend to go through the defunct Forum Game threads and revive ones that sound half decent
* VerbalTic: Eh. It seems like I end every other post with it, eh?
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Let me just get this straight. I am male, decisively so. So is Hikaru.

* Byakko can turn into a white tiger at will, and any other land animal with the help of an origami expert. Unlike the other kanji paper, he can't change his size, so any animal he turns into ends up a foot long. He can get sore over that.

* StalkerWithACrush: We have one. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Don't mention it. Please]].

* If someone is actually [[TheChosenOne chosen]] to do some great thing and receive eternal praise, they can do anything. After all, if you're eventually going to stop the apocalypse or the greatest king of Eternia, it doesn't really matter if you [[Kleptomaniac rob the country's citizens]] or fill your apparement with hookers and blow.
