Aww, son of a bitch
#201: Feb 24th 2011 at 5:39:30 PM

I went with that name because it sounded cool, not for any intristic meaning.

That doesn't mean we don't get to assign meaning to it, Death of the Author and all XD

Upon further research it seems the term could have been used as slang for an automaton, like a golem or a robot, then later to mean a very loyal minion of sorts. It's etymology has roots in 'ant-people', which we'd tie back to the Hive concept if you hadn't ruined the fun just now by telling us it was meaningless...

Hm. Still getting caught up with the RP proper. Seeing as how Doug and Horroce have been on the tournament scene longer than most of the others, mind if I re-introduce them by explaining how they recognized the Tick-Tock Man and knew how the battle would turn out?

Note to Bindlestick: Remember Verath only signed with the letter V, I'm assuming that's how he'd be introduced. I plan on making some Shout Outs, even though it would only be internal monologue...

Nobody made the connection of what some of my character design is a shout out to, even though I've been trying to make it more and more obvious as I've gone into more details about the powers... does it really have to be as anvilicious as Red? XD

Also, does this RP have a Tropes page yet? I want to recruit someone but I don't know if we have a convenient summary already.

No clue who the shout-out is to. Also, a trope page would be cool to have.

Dragonriders Of Pern, though it's a mishmash of both the smaller firelizards and the larger dragons. Both Vareth's basic coloration and Ayajeak's 'template' were taken from characters I made for Pern R Ps awhile back, heavily modified to fit the setting and give a bit of a power boost. I suppose it wouldn't be apparent to most tropers, they seem to fall a lot more into the anime demographic lol.

I'm not actually much of a dragon person. ^_^; Though I should confess: Originally, Ryan's design came straight from a Harvest Moon game. (A combo of: this and this. Hoodie of the latter, and most everything else of the latter.) However, I decided to play up the ice theme, so I did away with that, though I left the hair, and only modified the hoodie.

Boreas is of my own creation, no references. So rawr originality. :3

Wow. I've read several of the Pern books. I really should've known that.

Well then you should have got it just off the character bio, Anno, lol. Telepathy, teleportation, name ends in -th X3

I have no idea how I didn't figure it out. I mean, it's been a really long time since I've read them, but I still should've made then connection.

If anyone wants to have Red quite literally run into them while she's going for help, feel free to do so.

I would have sent Vareth if I, or my characters, either one, had any idea what help to get.

Double-post to ping the alert for relevant questions!

Does Boreas not like Vareth sitting on his head? He would not take offense at being told to move. I know it'd have to come up IC but still... just wondering XD

He actually doesn't mind that much. XD As long as he gets off when he needs to fight, (Which should be any day now *Hinthint*) then he's fine with it. Boreas is generally fine with a lot of the touchy-clingy crap, mainly because of Ryan.

Hey guys. Sorry I've been gone for... a day. Some stuff came up. Don't worry thogh, I'm here.

@Tropes Page: I'd like that, but I have no idea who would do it. Not me, as I have to many obligations at the moment.
