h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

[Ghastly Madman] NAMES! Names! Tell me your name, your race, your class, your age, your proficiency, your [and so on and so on and so on and so on and ...]

Twinkle, elf, combination wizard/ranger, age unknown, proficient with a bow (not the pink ribbony kind).

Tzeital, High Elf, Wizard, Age, age about 5000, absolutely shite at everything but magic. Falls over if even breathed on by a baddie, but standing at the back hurling energy bolts around she can do lots of damage. A bit snooty though.

*wonders why she always jumps into all of these adventures and conversations when she hasn't enough time for all of them, but decides not to think about it and have fun*

My name is... umm... How I hate choosing names... Oh well, let's say it's Elena... Then species and such... Something different from what I'm playing elsewhere... Hmm... I'm human, and... a thief... age around 20...

A question: Are dragons only big and evil?? Couldn't I *please please please* have a foot-tall pet dragon who likes to gnaw things?? Pleeeeeease? *does puppy dog eyes*

Mainx, a hard, surly and taciturn human warrior who's good at whacking things with his claymore (2-h sword) but is illiterate.

And is even more of a stereotype than Maximus in Gladiator.

Korenini'ini'us Ick'scuuurgh

* dies while trying to pronounce own name *

Hmm, someone different I think.

Carnage, a runt dragon (five feet long) who due to excessive bullying as a child by the other dragons has left the life of evil-doing and tries to spread happiness whereever he goes. He's obsidian in colour, glossy in finish, usually well-polished enough to use as a mirror, fastidious about his appearance, breathes smoke (as he's not big enough to breathe fire) and capable of some fairly basic but occasionally impressive magic.

And yes, his name was given to him by his mother in the hope that it would inspire him to be mean and nasty to humans. It didn't work.

Additional Note: he likes to be called Pooch.

[YK] [who is wearing a blue fighter's outfit with a green square on the front, and spiked shoulder guards] Ribald. Human. Warrior. Swordfighting. And so on.

[Ghastly Madman] Good then! Twinkle, Tzeital, Elena, Manix, and Pooch. Now, arrange yourselves into groups of ... let's see ... three. And yes, Elena, dragons can be small and nice.

Mustafa(wick) - human - Henchman - age indescriminate - proficiency clubs and rubber chickens.

Sylvia, elven ranger, old enough to have some experience as a ranger, but still pretty young, good with a staff.

[Ribald] Right. You're with me.

[Ghastly Madman] Well? Who's going to be in the parties of three?? Er, the party Ribald's in will have to be a party of three-and-one-sixth...

[Ooops! Simulpost! I was responding to Mustafawick.]

[Ghastly Madman] Er, better make it one of four and one of three-and-one-sixth...

[Ribald] I think I'd like to be in a party with Mustafawick, Sylvia, and Elena.

* Pooch emits a small puff of smoke *

[Pooch] Nobody wants me? I'll cry!

[Mainx] ...

*polishes 'Scalptaker'*

I'm with Pooch. Dragons are cute!
*Pats Pooch on the snout*

To Elena: In D&D there are small (one-foot) pseudodragons that can be tamed as pets.

I've put that on the page, now. [Ghastly Madman] [to Ribald, Mustafawick, Sylvia, and Elena] You three-and-one-sixth! The Seelie Court has been detecting a "haze" of magic throughout their realm! Cross the Dragon Mountains to Mt. Atma and bespeak the Guardian! http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F65214?thread=106895 [Ghastly Madman] [to Twinkle, Pooch, Manix, and Tzeital] I guess you're together, since you're the only other four beings around here, so far ... The village of Tarsis on Perigee Island is being terrorized by a shark-like being. Go there and bespeak the village sage, Runa. http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F65214?thread=106896

*E enters. E will have to asume another entitie, looks at madman, and would like to swap roles with him*

I äme E-zara*k, dwarf-ränger. I´m goode at beerbrewing, I don´t minde, but äm not to fonde of elves. I ride ä pony called T-kära*k. It only cän underständ dwarfish [Talking to T-kära*k in dwarfish will not be accepted by Moderation. It won´t understand anything not said in dwarfish] I like ä good äxe in my händs and wont säy no to ä good squaffing. My little drägon is called EaEzara*k. He rides on the bäck of T-kärak, who is absolutly unseperäble with this little creature.

Is thät änough?

[Ghastly Madman] Er ... yeah. Er, I suppose the adventurers going to the Seelie Court will need a fourth party member...

I'd like to be an elven sorceress called Squelk (Don't ask why. I've no idea). I have no pets or such. I distrust horses.

That ok?

[Ghastly Madman] All right. Let's see what kind of adventure we can dig up once we get some more characters here ...

[Mackenzie] I've decided to do something really silly, seeing as I'm the second most powerful magic-user in the Galaxy.

[Ghastly Madman] And what's that?

[Mackenzie] I'll be a named Kiminy. No age given, no class, proficiency , not that I need to say so.
