Of course he does. He's Lord Nemesis, for crying out loud! He practically defines "too much time on his hands!"

Dude, I just realized... this must be what the Nemesis soldiers are REALLY doing in the Shadow Shard!

Everyone in WISDOM.

Well then I wasn't there when it happened.

Check it out: Our friend DJ Zero bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain other character... the only differences I can find are hair length and facial expression. This can't be a coincidence.

Well, looks like SOMEONE is going to be hit with the Generic stick...

Those picture requirements, while they do match the way YuGiOh cards are laid out, are strict-ish. If anyone wants a more exciting picture on their card, I have a Magic: The Gathering card maker downloaded, and Magic cards often have more actiony shots in their art. Since I doubt a second thread is needed, I'll make Magic cards here for anyone who prefers that to YuGiOh. So if you want a Magic card, tell me that, also here, with all the same info that would be told to LunarDivine for a YuGiOh card, as well as Origin. Optionally, a couple short sentences about the character or a quote can be given as well, for flavor text.


And LunarDivine, if this constitutes threadjacking, let me know and I'll go away.

Devouring Earth - You know how you wouldn't like Bruce Banner when he's angry? Well, Captain Planet is worse.

Have you ever heard of Enhancement Diversification, sir? There's a reason we can't do this.

I know that the blaster Diana and Xerxes SHOULDN'T get generic'd, it's jsut that sometimes I wonder... I heard a story of a person who was generic'd for having the name "Mako Kino," even though she'd never watched Sailor Moon and bore no resemblance to Makoto Kino.

Okay, here's something I was thinking about on my way home today. As we all know, we're supposed to only make characters in this game that are 100% our own creations. As we also all know, not everyone does that... and sometimes, it's okay.

No, really, it is. Hear me out on this.

There are a few different types of not-fully-original characters: The bad kind, that everyone thinks of first, is when someone makes a clone of a character specifically from another canon (Batman, Vegeta, Darth Vader, etc), which gets you generic'd as soon as you're caught. Some such characters can squeak by - I met a katana scrapper named "Force Knight" with a Vanguard sword once, who said that he'd spoken to a GM about this and was told that it was OK since he didn't use the words "Jedi" or "Lightsaber" or anything and wasn't supposed to be a specific character - but usually they get whacked. That's fine. That's as it should be. But there are others... after all, not all famous characters are copyrighted, and historical figures certainly aren't, but saying that you invented Samson or Ulysses or Glooskap or Benjamin Franklin is a patently ridiculous claim. Making them as characters in game, however, is perfectly fine. Even the ones that have already been grabbed by professional comic artists can still be used, if they're not used in the same way; while a Hero who is meant to be the goddess Diana would surely be generic'd if she were a martial arts scrapper who looked like this would get hit with the Generic Stick pretty fast, this archery blaster is not likely to receive the same treatment.

But then I thought, What about classic literary characters? Can I make Ichabod Crane? Disney put him in a movie (that was Disney, right?) but what if my Ichabod Crane is different? And what's the copyright status on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats? Am I allowed to make Macavity and the Great Rumpuscat if they bear zero resemblance to the Andrew Lloyd Weber versions? Will my character named Xerxes get generic'd due to the sheer recentness and popularity of 300, even though he looks like this?

Where do you draw the line?

That would be super nifty. Signed!

It's not really that impossible. There would just have to be new hair models to go under them, that had all the hair that would go under the hat actually be flush with the scalp. I have little doubt that a good number of hairstyles could be made to fit under the hats we have.

Of course, that means a whole slew of new hairstyles, but it is doable, and since there's only so much variation to be had when the hair itself can't have any volume on top...

That'd be nice! I've got a bunch of backup names lined up for a character I'll be making post-GR, and I'm out of slots for name camping (come GR, I intend to open an entire second account). One of them that I had considered, "Silverbright Sentinel," was too long by just one letter. This is a fantastic name and it's a pity that nobody can use it!

Yes yes yes, god yes. Please more options for this!

So far I've always loved Gravity in all its aspects except Dimension Shift, which honestly needs to be fixed because NOBODY uses it, it's just that bad, but as for your suggestions... now that you've proposed knockdown on Crush and Crushing Field, I want it. Because thematically, that is AWESOME.

Yes. God yes, PLEASE give us this. I've wanted to make fat characters since I started playing this game.

We HAVE an energy sword. Just go farm vanguard merits.
