Short bio. Big story!

Some people's roleplaying characters have elaborate stories, and some character description writers complain that they exhaust the text field too soon. I like bios that are more in the character of flash fiction, and try to compress as big a story into a small space.

My newest character is an example, and gets a fairly complicated narrative into a very few words.



Here are some more of mine:



Now I want to see some of yours.

Not as short as yours but my shortest one is for Rose Veldt:



Everyone else who has a bio scratches at the character limit.

Haha... "Zoombie" cracks me up. That's just stupid enough to be funny

Erm, I mean that in a good way.

Yes - and yours is pretty good too.

Hmm... I don't really have any short bios. I don't always hit the character limit, but I've gotten exceptionally good at using the small space more effectively.

Love the bios so far. Keep 'em coming.

Just for this thread, and DXP, my new scrapper.

Teamed with this guy a while back, thought it was pretty funny.

From homage to almost strait rip-off of an extremely NSFW comic by Jorge "Vaz" Rivas; I was inspired by his writing, the best examples of faeries in a dystopian cyber-punk future, to create a character in such a vein named after him:



He tells it much better than I can but it is not so family friendly. Still for the adults that wish to see the inspiration:

I think my latest character, a Demons/Thermal MM, fairly qualifies.

Bonus points if someone can tell me the origin of the name "Yucaipa Heep".

Nah, Yucaipa Heep. He's a Californian. Probably heads out to Glamis for the races.

Be Well!

My new corruptor on Justice, more than slightly inspired by the Losers:

A little longer than some, but still short by my usual standards. My supersoldier, recycling an old costume.

What can I say? I was surprised the name was available too!

Just in case you don't catch the reference -



And just for fun, here's a costume he... doesn't wear that much.

This one was a joke concept I came up with when Water Blast was on beta because I didn't have a real concept. Then I ended up liking it so much I used it for reals.


I must say, I got quite a laugh from Zoombie.

This was my original scranker (fire/EM). I revised her concept after she was the first of my characters to earn the 'Intellectual' badge. She has binds talking about Schopenhauer and Debussy now.
