Title: What Are You?
Post by: TheGreyRonin on October 23, 2006, 02:33:45 AM
 Meaning of course, what is the critter/person/mineral/thingy that is your online persona?

In my case, my online persona is my original Duelling character. I'm a Humaseeri, which is an immortal (unless destroyed) shapeshifter in the form of a dark-haired ronin dressed in grey robes. When I grin you can see thousands of silver needle-teeth, and I often sport silver claws on my fingertips.

Like all of my kind I'm immune to magic and cannot use it, tend to be territorial, and can/will eat almost anything. Slung across my back is a bastard katana etched with several arcane symbols.

So...anyone else?

Hmm... On second thought, I'll save the essay for a journal entry somewhere. But this does give me a chance to remove any misconceptions.

The DigitalMan, called Drake Mayors by some (my friend's idea), is not: A hologram, a robot, any part machine, a Digimon, capable of being "defragged," downloadable, deletable, or formed of actual data in any way.

What he is is essentially human. What makes him not human are small tweaks to his genetics. He appears thin and frail, but he has condensed muscle mass and reinforced bones. Punching through a wall is no problem without even using his powers. Also, his DNA is basically encoded in binary, which doesn't change as much as you'd think. And he's a fan of Rush.

He wears hunter's-style camouflage pants and jacket. This is mostly just preference, as DM does not hunt. He also wears sunglasses that have a computer built-in.

I'd say more, but the description I had typed out is probably longer than one post is allowed to be. And that's the Cliff-Notes version. Think back to whenever the first Descent game was released; my character's been around longer than that. So he's pretty complex.

In closing:
Quote from: Rush
He's got a force field and a flexible plan
He's got a date with fate in a black sedan
He plays fast-forward just as long as he can
But he won't need a bed, he's a Digital Man

My original online persona was DOUG the Eagle, not actually an avian, but an AI built into a refurbished F-15 Strike Eagle.  Most of the Anti-Walkthroughs are credited to him, although truth be told I very rarely posted anywhere RP style with that character.
More recently I've adopted it as a name to use for my music.

As of last Christmas I've been posting in The Nice and here as 'Jakob Pettersohn'.  Again, I very rarely do a full-character post, especially now that we're on CMF where that is forbidden.  Jakob is more a character for stories and songs than any kind of shield to hide behind.

Jakob's original outing was here:
http://www.jpmorris.force9.co.uk/stuff/story1.txt

He has also featured in Gareeku's Furrae Chronicles story and his own series, The Chronicles of Jakob Pettersohn - both of these can be found in the art section.  His first and so far only outing in an RP is the Furrae Chronicles story in progress on the RP section.

Male, as you can probably tell.  :mowwink

I don't roleplay as such here, except for the bit in the intro threads, which has become sort of my trademark on this forum.

(I do have an RP character on another forum, named "Leon de Coeur", who is based on me (more or less), but he doesn't teleport. He does travel between dimensions though...)

Miaka changes according to what scenario you have her in. The only thing that's constant is that she's a squirrel that's small in stature with coloring themed after ice. And her connection with a certain ferret. >>
Just on the forum, she's 15, in her sophomore year of high school, geeky, but normal otherwise. basically just a squirrel version of myself.
In the "Unexpected Adventurers" RP(currently dead, don't know if ity'll be started up again, she's 17, a very similar personality, and a novice ice mage.
In the forumite story I'm currently being lazy on, she's a 21 year old adventurer and experienced ice mage who doesn't know wether her relationship with aforementioned ferret is a blessing or a curse, considering just how often she has to save his stupid ass.

I've just the one fursona, which I've used pretty consistently since I joined the Furfire forums lo these many years ago. (Is her forum still arround? I was under the imprssion that Sil 86d it)

My character is, essentially, an orange and tan tiger stripped tabby cat. He's based on the first Khajit character I played in Morrowind, which was named after the plush toy I use as my avatar pic, which was named after the fact his colors resemble the colors of the little foil wrapped reese's peanut butter cups.

The last name was added upon encountering a forum where the name 'Reese' was already taken.  It's Japanese for Tiger.

I really only have one. There is technically another, but he actually represents the real me, rather than my counterpart whom I give the right to act independently.

He (My counterpart) is an ocelot named Alexander, and he represents practical cunning. His appearance varies 'since he can change it at will.

The other is a fox without an actual name, and he represents charismatic cunning.

*finds a planet for the Leyjon race, of which Alondro is*  Ah, HD 28185 b, orbits a yellow main-sequence star in the constellation Eridanus 128.5 ly from Earth.  It has a roughly circular orbit at about the center of the habitable zone and is 5.7 Jupiter masses, and its star has a metallicity 1.74 tiumes that of our Sun, meaning it can stably support the orbit and rock-metal composition of an Earth-sized moon.  It's one of the top candidates for the Terrestrial Planet Finder, because light from the star and reflecetd light from the gas giant might be enough to get a good spectral reading of a large moon's atmospheric composition with a large enough interferometer telescope series.  :)

For those looking for stars with possible terrestrial planets or moons upon which to locate your alien races, check this site: http://www.extrasolar.net/ and search "The Planets' section on the left-side menu list, then look in 'Planets around normal stars' to find ones that are in the right place around the stars.  You'll have to do some searching, many are Hot Jupiters, too close to the star for normal organic life.  Others are in wildly eccentric orbits and the planet shifts from super-hot to frigid, plus the tidal pull from the stars would disrupt the orbit of moons in many of those cases.  :)

:dface No fair, I missed the math puns!

Parallel worlds work well for things that are, well, more-or-less parallel. My universe is quite close to "reality," and of course if you rip physics a new arsehole in the right direction any number of other universes can be accessed. Even yours! *chants* I'm comin' ta get you, I'm comin' ta get you...

But for alien races, other worlds are needed. Say, would there happen to be any collection of chunks of land that could possibly have once been a habitable planet, that DM may have blown up accidentally?

Title: Re: What Are You?
Post by: Creativity on October 26, 2006, 06:07:38 PM
I've always had the idea that...

The universe IS infinite, but materials (planets, stars, ect...) are not. Everything comes to an end somewhere, and that end is where only the universe continues.

And in the case of parallel universes, I believe that they exist within eachother. Did you ever wonder what is your hand made of? Everyone says particles or other such blander things, but I am asking far more smaller. If you could zoom in on a particle, I believe you would find a parallel universe, a large empty space filled with scattered about celestrial entities, and if you COULD look at such a small thing, it is highly unlikely that you would find a universe similar to ours, but you would eventually. Every cell is made of a minature universe, and those universes are made of others, and more and more. And the smaller you get, the more the larger your universe would be. A smaller plane of existance, or such.

But what happens when you get bigger? Zooming out farther and farther from ours, would reveal a particle, it may be a part of another universe, or it could just as well be the first particle that started it all. There is one particle in a field of emptiness, and thats what we exist in.

But why cant you zoom in enough to see another plane of existance? Well, light may be all powerful but it has its limits. A light particle has a SIZE, and even though this is so small, it is not small enough to pick up on anything beyond that of the particles we know and love. And bigger? Well, if we to map out planets and stars and all that crap, I do believe we could build an idea of what we are in. But that would be extremely difficult. And until we learn to love one another, that wont happen.

And also, time is a factor created by the brain. In each plane of existance, the rate they move is affected by their brain and how fast it moves.

Imagine finding a planet of people that moved one second for every year we did.... It would be amazing if I say so, although it would create ghost images to them if you were to stand there long enough :o And good chance they wouldn't even be human, so meh. Just in my zen mode at the moment :D

What about the idea that "parallel universes" exist in the same universe? If the universe is infinite (or seemingly infinite), there exists a possibilty that somewhere, out there, that things lined up just right to create a parallel world. :mowsmile
It's not that big. and besides, only so much is actually taken up by stuff to begin with. if you tried to travel forever you'd come upon nothing eventually.

You mean we're obtuse? What a ridiculous hypotenus. I mean, hypothesis.

I mean, we just got delivery of a truckload of triangles. Sine here....
Now you're just being irrational.

Anyway, my character is an anthropomorphic jackal with very short black fur and ditigrade legs. He is the ruler of Purgatory, and has a backpack full of metal that can take any shape he imagines. He also is a master metalworker and makes weapons for all the residents of Heaven and Hell. But mostly he hangs around various series and freaks their characters out by showing up and disappearing whenever he feels llike it.

Oh don't even tri. Being as obtuse as he is, he doesn't get the finer, more developed sides of humor. And he clearly does not want to approach the thing from another angle.

White dragon who often magically disquises herself as a white feline so she can play with the beings. Sniff they won't play with me just because I crushed their house. It's so unfair.

Stygian was originally a human who kind of broke a universal law, treading forbidden ground by finding his way outside of existence and all that is ("The inverse of a singularity; a Nithl. A pathway through spacetime to the nothingness beyond, that does not exist..."). There, his very nightmares were turned into reality, space and time doubled in on itself and he was forced to live uncomprehending of anything but this horror of his own creation. He could never die, because he was his own universe in a sense, but neither could he continue to exist in his simple, human form. So he was broken apart instead, changed and twisted to become something that embodied this new thing he had created; a being evolved far beyond anything natural and tainted by its own dark, horrid essence.
   When his transformation was in full, this new microcosm Stygian had created simply collapsed in on itself and scattered, and he, it, was cast adrift, to find its way back into the universes alone. Well there, it explored what it had become, and decided to cast off its old life and name, taking the more symbolical name Stygian, that tied into its still part otherworldly existence and newfound power.

Stygian is an unnaturally evolved and powerful meta-entity, appearing in its full-fledged form as a dark angelic humanoid, mainly colored black but with dark streaks of blue and teal as well. Its eyes glow a dark, greenish-blue colour and its form, crowned by a pair of torn black wings, shifts, writhes and morphs almost continuously. It is an impressively powerful shapeshifter and can morph its body to mostly any shape, density and level of coherence, and can also mimick other creatures its size very convincingly, though it cannot change weight completely uninhibitedly and is a bit slow at changing its colour.
   Stygian's powers can be summarized as free-formed biomorphosis (he does not have to be solid, or even in one piece, but can flow freely like a lquid or even something like a coherent gas, and he has a number of more or less complicated abilities that come from his form, such as wall- and ceiling-scaling, corrosive properties, infecting and altering organic structures...), his powers that tie into this trait such as his phasing ability and energy manipulation, and his impressive physical abilities that include tremendous speed and strength, complex and powerful senses and very fast reflexes and excellent spatial awareness.
   The easily most significant trait of Stygian's though (at least to some), is that he is practically anathema to magic. He cannot use it, but he can affect it greatly, twisting and disturbing or even nullifying it. This natural ability is nearly always active, but mostly he does not use it, and so its influence is limited to himself and an area of perhaps a foot around him. However, when he chooses to exert it, he is powerful enough to nullify even the strongest of magics in his vincinity, tearing the flows of energy asunder before they even have a chance to form, and he can direct this influence specifically. He can also disrupt or halt the activity of magical fields or objects. But his ability has a range limitation, growing weaker the further from him you get, and the more complex and powerful the magic, the harder it is for him to disturb it. And it should be noted that it is nearly as hard for him to supress this ability completely as it is to exert it fully.

Oh? And what, pray tell, may that be? Unless you know my full physiology (haven't told you my constituent structure or the nature of my senseeees...), I beleive you'll be hard pressed to find more than pretty general weaknesses. *acts all superior*

Okay, I will admit. Stygian has some rather great weaknesses as a result of his nature. I'll give you one that you might be interested in hearing. He's weakened by visible light, because of the way it behaves partially like particles at certain wavelengths. It disturbs some of his abilities; the more light, the more interference. And while he is capable of "tweaking" with his surroundings a bit to intimidate enemies and better conditions, in broad daylight he is clearly weaker (not physically, but generally) than in darkness.

Might you tell us what it was that you found out?

I don't really have a consistant online persona, but I tend to just go with a cartoony drawing of myself insofar as avys or drawings involving me and other people's personas go. Then there's the metric ton of RP and DnD characters I use, who I have no intention of listing here.

my current overall persona is a kitsune who has become a legend as the only one ever to achieve a tenth tail. I travel from dimension to dimension, shifting my form and abilities subtly to match each new universe, though often keeping abilities I've learned in other universes. after a bit of thinking, I think I finally have my name: Xane. I have an animal form that is a ten-tailed fox about the size of a large wolf, with the tails being about one and a half times the body length, and a humanoid form which can go anywhere from a human with fox ears and the tails (Which now are just long enough to reach the ground) to my fox form on two legs with minor joint modifications and hands replacing the front feet. I usually settle for a humanoid face, the reverse-jointed legs ending in paws, and normal fur-covered hands and arms. usually, my fur is a jet black, though when I draw a lot of power the tips can turn blue or even white. I am built lightly and slender, and about 5'9 in height. I also have a female form, which I have not, as of yet, used here. then, I am known as Sophilia. tall and slender, I am about the same height, with white fur. when I have need for a weapon, I will summon a light double-edged katana with runes carved on both sides of the blade, and focus some of my power along the edges, making it able to slice through the strongest materials like they were butter. when the finesse of a blade is not required, or I am really pissed off, I can form my energy into claws, which I weild with devastating results.

I considered asking the question in there, but I was more curious about what/who people are or show themselves as online every day, as opposed to characters they only use occasionally.

I've personally used several Duelling personas over the years of varying genders and races, but most people see me as The Grey Ronin when I'm not actively gaming, fighting, etc.

There's also the fact that I'm fairly new to these forums and not a furry, so quite a bit of what more experienced posters take for granted goes right over my head. I thought it would be interesting to touch base.

I'm just glad that i finally managed to produce a consistent background for a character that allows him to act in practically any universe or "setting". Thanks to his shapeshifter properties he can also easily pass for a furry, though he certainly isn't a "true" one.
