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

*receives and.*

thanks LeRue. nice moonwalking though.

Name: thornthedruidguy
U number: Researcher: 1693878

Hero or Villain: Can Mine be neutral?

Hero name: The Grey swordsman

Super Abilities: metal-morph (He can change his body to be metal-and can make objects/weapons based off of it). Does not need to breathe while he is metalloid. <- Basically it's all metal variations on your basic shapeshifter... but without so much of the melting or changing of shapes... at least, he's trying to work on that part.

Weaknesses (if any): water (I.e. sinks when tries to swim in metalloid form). Um, that and maybe really strong magnets. It does not make him super stong (Even though it may make him tough), but he can become ductile and malleable under certain conditions (i.e. getting hit with hammers or rolled into thin-wires does not sound like much fun to him).

Costume Colour(s): dull-silver for costume. Gray for the mask.

Other Comments: Since he can make himself have a body-composition that is mainly metal, getting shocked with electricity does not seem to bother him much; he does find it annoying though. The best advice anyone can seem to give,-is that it's not a good idea to get into a static-scuffing match in a rug covered area with Alex Ferrous (Alexander Ferrous to be more formal). This is his secret identity (Shh!). <- Oh, yeah and um, he likes it to be pronounced "Ferrus" Whatever.

You see,-he's sorta like a literal Iron Man.
[Plays something like IronMan for Grey Swordsman's themesong. Was that one by Metallica?]

Disclaimer:
+ When I said can't change shapes, but is working on that... I meant he can't really go all stretchy exactly and that his "body-shape stays the same" mostly. <-That still means I can have him sprout spikes when curling into a ball while jumping, etc. though, right?

BTW: And, by not superstrong, but tough... what I mean is if you punch him, it'll hurt, but he can't lift trains (etc.)
That'll translate into if somebody [who is superstrong] punches him [say in the chest] it'll either put a dent or put a hole-through him,-but as long as he stays in metalloid form...
- Oh, yeah and other weaknesses:

1. Gets distracted by nice and/or beautiful women...

2. Afraid of tax-collectors.

3. Can get "folded" sometimes. When this happens, it'll usually take him awhile to rearrange himself (slapstick results are sure to follow,-esp. getting stuffed into mailboxes, lockers, that sort of thing).
& (related to 3 is) :
4. Tendency to beat up solicitors (No, I do not want to buy a __[fill in the blank] right now, and stop trying to stick me with junk-mail!)

er, hi thorn. welcome to the League. i will add your profile to the profiles page but i might need to cut it down a little. feel free to explore the threads but try to cut down on the multiply postings a bit.

How's it going Thorn.

Nice, I get a winter break because it's the end of my first semester college finals. nobody'd really much told me they had school breaks in college too.

...& how are you folks doing on this (*checks the weather outside of his window*) splendidly-fine blustery day?

its a nice sunny day here where i am......albeit very very very very cold......

Ah, well,-there's your trade-off. Mines rainy/windlike out, but kinda warm. I'm having fun making some property damage at hoodlums in the City thread,-care to join me?

hmmm..better not...im sure i was meant to be around there sometime ago..but i always keep missing stuff when i disappear off line that i gave up! moves too quickly!

"Oh well,-..." *Shrugs*

howdy newbie! and to whoever it was who was asking, the Iron Man song was by Black Sabbath

(I've spent the past hour playing Thin Lizzy songs, that always puts me in a ROCK type mood)

Hola thorn! Welcome to our humble abode!

*sighs*

Ah Phil Linott, you've got to love 'whiskey in a jar'.

*sighs*?

I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again: Artemis is . His greatest desire is to be Spectre, but he'll never manage to be like that [if only because I don't want to be muscling in on Galigan's patch]. So I've nicked someone else from the series.

Name: Holly
U number:I honestly don't remember
Researcher: midgetmogget

Hero or Villain: Heroine

Hero name: Holly

Super Abilities: Holly is a fairy. She therefore has a few magical tricks up her sleeve. Mesmer - hypnosis, blocked by reflective glasses/contact lenses. Sheilding - fast vibration, makes Holly invisible to the eye and most cameras. Healing [blus sparks] - will gradually heal if hurt. She also has various LEP-regulation items, such as Hummingbird wings [no, not from real hummingbirds - solar powered], Cam foil [hides things by projecting an image of their sorroundings] and Moonbelt [things clipped onto it are only 1/6 of their normal weight].

Weaknesses (if any): Holly can only enter a building if she has been given permission to enter, by someone who owns/cares for the building.
Also, magic can be used up. To complete the "ritual" for restoring magic, Holly must take an acorn from an oak tree under the full moon. [It's more complicated than that, but it'll do.] When Holly is out of magic, she cannot use her magical abilities.

Costume Colour(s): White/silver, slightly furry jumpsuit. Moonbelt and backpack containing wings.

Other Comments: Holly is only 1m tall. She is about 90, which is young for a fairy. She left the LEP [Lower Elements [places underground where faries live] Police], and is now working above ground, as anyone who takes over the world of the Mud Men [humans [she doesn't have much respect for the human race as a whole]], could turn their sights to the Lower Elements next.

ok midge, there's nothing wrong with Artemis, per say, but i can change it if you like.

here's an idea, how about we move Artemis to an NPC profile and have Holly as your new character? that way Artemis isn't gone and maybe we can use him in a story scenario. something like Artemis gets jealous of Spectre and the arrival of Holly upsets him so he leaves and becomes an enemy and we fight against him later. an interesting plot change don't you think?

if not i can just change you to Holly and Artemis is gone forever.

also what series is this you're nicking Holly from? and are you happy with Holly as the hero name? because it's a little boring. (just a suggestion)

The Artemis Fowl Books.

I like the idea of Artemis as a npc - especially if holly was against him. [In the books, Artemis kidnapped holly, but they're freinds - ish - now] I don't see Holly as the kind of person to go for a hero name... perhaps another charecter should give her one as a nickname at first.

yeah maybe. so should holly start as an NPC and then they gradually swap over? and the Artemis can go evil.
