i had a stalker once who was a walmart employee, she would appear out of nowhere and kill everyone's medical coverage and jobs. I was all political and rabble rousey back then,and you can make the usual outfit pretty easily.

Farewell is like the end

I try not to read other people's bios unless their costumes catch my eye. That kind of off-hand "goofiness" really hurts my head.

This site is pure win, it's always worth a chuckle even after the worst days. Thanks for the link, Westley.

"He's a sword-wielding drug-addicted librarian who dotes on his loving old ma. She's a green-fingered thirtysomething nun with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!"
Love it.
He's a witless Republican gentleman spy on the run. She's a pregnant cigar-chomping widow with a knack for trouble. They fight crime!
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
He's a gun-slinging pirate photographer with a secret. She's a mistrustful hip-hop queen of the dead with an MBA from Harvard. They fight crime!
Also
He's a scarfaced voodoo waffle chef with a mysterious suitcase handcuffed to his arm. She's a transdimensional antique-collecting wrestler fleeing from a Satanic cult. They fight crime!
and
He's a benighted ninja master criminal haunted by an iconic dead American confidante. She's a bloodthirsty extravagent vampire from the wrong side of the tracks. They fight crime

The adjectives actually start repeating pretty quickly. The only difference is in the combination.
He's an underprivileged shark-wrestling househusband on the wrong side of the law. She's a mentally unstable communist mermaid with a knack for trouble. They fight crime!

One of the reasons for silly names these days is simply because all the good names are taken. I find it harder and harder to get a good name for my characters.

But what I have been encountering lately is different. This is an example of the others I have seen. The Bio referenced Titans of the Greek pantheon, and gave a pretty detailed description of Kronos swallowing his children. But one Titan was different, special and favored of the gods... he escaped due to his tremendous power and skills, etc., etc., and ultimately came to Paragon City where he took the name of... Truck Driver Dude! *record scratch sound effect* Okay, name changed to protect the innocent, but it was such a VIOLENT disconnect to what had gone before! The Bio was not poorly written. It was not deliberately Random or Ironic. But I have no idea what inspired this Titan to take a name that had nothing to do with anything. I later ran into an Amazon, different at birth than the others, etc., etc., who fought for Justice as... Walmart Cashier! Huh??? The level of detail that goes into the set-up is high. The prose is good. But it is as odd as a child being sent by his parents from their dying, exploding planet to Earth, where he is taken in by an older farm couple, etc., etc., and becomes Sandwich Maker Guy. Having seen 3 or so lately like this greatly bemused me. |

And i've been riffing on the "They fight crime!" meme for a few years. My first 50 back in 2004/2005 has a bio describing how he's been bonded to a mystic artifact and concludes with "And together they fight crime!" The first time i recall seeing it was on the Hero System/Champions forums back in the nineties.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
