[QUOTE=Bubbawheat;2141381]I collect these as well. Here's one that's not horrible, mostly just funny.

Best origin story EVER!

The one where the thieves poped out of the fridge was close...(the image of some thieves in big pope hats and in a pope mobile coming out of the fridge is pretty amusing to me)...but you can't beat being frozen in ice and thawed out by radioactive walrus urine...

I'm still wondering how they got radioactive from the Exxon Valdez. (An oil tanker)

Bless them all: the MRPers, the Mary Sues, the bad spellers, the fools who know not what they do...

For without their $15/month, there would be no game for us to play.

Count me in as another who thought Exxon Valdez spewing radiation just did not compute.
Some of these bios (blatant Sexual stuff, abuse directed at other players) are borderline if not outright petitionable.

That's genius in it's own special little way.

Hooray for Cometshooter!

Also, this thread has a severe lacking of lesbian Hellions.

Yes, it is, isn't it?

More! Because, well, why not?

This one I encountered briefly for a second time, but lamentably forgot to screenshot on that occasion. That time the second line had been altered from 'then he was a villain' to 'then he was lord recluse' for unknowable reasons.

...not sure what to say on this one. Speaks for itself really!

This I suspect will either amuse or grievously offend. Let us see.

Character references! Artz! Whatnot!

You know, I'm really glad that both my co-workers were out of this office when I got to this point. I suspect I would've gotten some strange looks. In a way I'm horrified to admit, I can't help but consider that one to be absolutely...genius.

Red Valkyrja · 08-20-2009 02:24 PM

Someone, somewhere has got to have the "Pizza Delivery Guy"! That was hands down, the best bio I've seen so far.

A couple more:

This is one of my favorites.

Check out Statesman Jr. and the rest of my album if you're interested, there's a few I can't directly post.

I take it that this is how someone roleplays a spaz?

I dunno, I always found the sad tale full of DETH KICK much more amusing.

I wish I had thought of Battle-Hardened. That's great.

Of all the character bios I've written, these are my favorites:

Cloud_Surge · 08-21-2009 08:15 AM

I actually have seen a few of these in game. (I know Battle-Hardened).

At least these people have some creativity. It better that seeing Spiderman and Superman clones.

I don't care if you blur or not, but that logic is as crazy as these bios. I have characters who are 5 years old and have the same costume. Sure, they have additional costumes, but they're primarily seen wearing the first costume slot option. A Hero's signature look is the signature look, no matter how long he's been around. You don't see Superman running around in a purple suit with orange thunderbolts because he's tired of red and blue.

I have to admit that you have a good point there. My only defense is that it was rather late here when I posted that.

OTOH, in my experience, very few people seem to keep their character's original costume. So few, that I've wondered if people just don't care about the "signature look" thing. I personally try to find a signature costume for my characters and many others do too, no doubt.

The issue is kind of water under the bridge now that people have posted character bios with names visible etc. And my offer to accept hatemail still stands.
