Welcome and stuff! Apparently it is tradition to give newbies random weird items in their introduction thread, so, umm... have a shiny quill pen! The better to write up charges with. Or notes.
Like so! 
(I did not make the pretty pens. I wish I did. I make other things with feathers though!)
Argent Of Avalon Walked proudly through the entrance to the Protector of the Plot Continuum Head Quarters, his chest held out in front of him, his foot falls echoing proudly in the vast entry way. He had graduated in record time from the academy and was now ready to take on any threat. he stopped to think, "Which department should I join?" He said aloud. "They all want me. I's a curse to be this good, I just wish to be a normal Protector of the Plot Continuum Agent.' This train of thought was disrupted by a sudden and crippling pain in his left leg, probably connected to the bolt that had just logged it's self in said leg.
"Argent Of Avalon." Said someone behind him. "You are hereby charged with one count of Being a Marty-Sue, one count of infiltrating the PPC, one count of infiltrating the PPC, one count of gratuitous point-of-view shifting, and one count of superlative Sue-Speech. Any last words?"
"I just wanted to be the best urk." We shall thankfully never know what he wanted to the best of, not that it was hard to guess, seeing as there was now a crossbow bolt buried up to the fletching between his eyes.
Aannndddd that is about as far as I got before the idea ran out on me.
Hello, my name is Silver, my favorite color is silver, and why are you all looking at me like that? You know, those assorted weapons look mighty sharp. . . mommy *runs in fear*
yes i have read Da Rules and now throw my self at your mercy, hopefully nothing to bad will happen to me. *somewhere the laws of narrative comedy and ironic overpower took note*
Back to the point, was there a there a point? Can some one give me a point? OUCH! Ok, I got the point.
Jokes aside, I am a fan and hope to one day get my writing up to the point that I can write missions. Until then I will do my best to learn what is needed.
On a totally unrelated side note, I am making Flash patches for the departments. So far I have one for the DMS http://silverwind91.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2x7ojp , DIC http://silverwind91.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2xd5m0 , DCPS http://silverwind91.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2xd5fr , and DBS http://silverwind91.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2xd50n . I am struggling on one for the DOGA and more than willing to take suggestions for patches I should make.
Fair winds!
Now you can throw BBQs.
You know, you're at least the second person I've shepherded over from dA. It's an interesting thing.
Anyhow, since you're here, this is your honorary first poke. *pokes*
I assume you've read the Original Series as well as Da Rules, but just the same, do check out any of the links you may not have seen yet in the See Also section of this page.
Incidentally, that is the most interesting introduction I've seen in a long time. It's too bad you missed the PPC Badfic Game; Agent Argent would have been awesome on Fanfic Land. Well, there's always next year. ^_~
Welcome!

I've heard about fanfic land and the shipfest, but do other yearly events exist?
For one, March Madness went so well this year that I intend to do it again (although I probably won't offer drawings as prizes again, since at the rate I'm going I won't have this year's ones done yet >.>).
Also, sometime in December I like to challenge people to write PPC-themed parodies of holiday songs, so you've got that to look forward to. Most of them are archived here, though I haven't got last year's up yet and there are some really old ones I need to add, too. I'll get around to it when it comes time for the event.
We also observe the Glorious 25th of May, since three important events all fall on it; not to mention the 25th of March, which is the day the One Ring was destroyed. Why yes, we are a bunch of nerds, thank you!
Other things tend to happen semi-regularly, too, such as snow fights when the world turns winterish for the majority of us.

Good timing -- just after the Board opened again. Have a model ypur and a mithril-silver dagger.
Are those...actual flashpatches? As in real-life, physically existing, sew-on flash patches for the departments?
...
AND an idea that, if fully fleshed out well enough, could be worthy of confirming you as a true Boarder once your month is up?
...
Damn. I mean, seriously, damn. I just find that so cool that I've completely forgotten what I was going to give you. I mean...damn.
Okay, I've definitly overused the word damn. Ne'er mind.
as of right now they are not. I do have some skill sewing and at some point in time when I have more that five dollars spare cash I plan to make them. Until then they will just realistic photoshopped patches of denim.
The Stu Agent in my intro, Agent Argent, is an alter ego of Agent Silver. I admit the names they have are way too obvious.
I had another idea involving a ability and knowledge stealing Stu, but I wanted got show the idea to more experienced PPC writers first.
Have a pet cat. You may name him whatever you wish.
Have a sonic screwdriver and a bag of jelly babies. Please use responsibly.
Also, though you have read the rules, have you seen The Links?
Nice to meet you.
Please enjoy this bottle of Maison de Manque de Mémoire '72 as a welcoming gift. It's like Bleepka but older and with a fancy name!
Have some exotic matter. It has negative mass, and is handy for holding wormholes open. Just don't get it anywhere near a Reality Room!
I think I recall a PPC department that might have something to do with the events you mention...
*flash*
...what was I just saying?
Oh, yeah! Welcome to the PPC! Have some exotic matter. It has negative mass, and is handy for holding wormholes open. Just don't get it anywhere near a Reality Room!
Welcome, new friend!
Have a butterfly and a turtle! Just don't mix them up--the turtle goes in the wet terrarium, and the butterfly goes in the box full of flowers.
Welcome and stuff! Apparently it is tradition to give newbies random weird items in their introduction thread, so, umm... have a shiny quill pen! The better to write up charges with. Or notes.

Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
Please use them IRresponsibly.
So...what are your fandoms?
Including, but not limited to, daggers,l toothpicks, sewing needles, hypodermic needles and religious tracts.
Just convince a sue to sit on it and retreat to a safe distance.
Amiti notes that the older Boarders gave her miscellaneous gifts upon joining. What should she give this new recruit? She rummages through her belongings, throwing a plover this way and a Bengal tiger that. Wait, you're asking how she managed this feat? Shush now, or that Bengal Tiger may be coming in your direction.
Deeper and deeper Amiti digs, but to no avail. She allows herself a pause for disgruntled mumbling, but her eyes never stop scanning the piles for that perfect gift, that one gift to-- The girl's jaw snaps shut with a startling crack. She seizes an ovoid object by its tapered leaves and takes a few minutes to gaze with awe at the soon-to-be-gift.
"Here," she finally says, handing the newbie a prickly fruit. "Have a pineapple."
Haha, thank you for giving me the opportunity to write something like that, no matter how nonsensical. I hope you enjoy your time here. =D
Rose wanders in, looks around, and jumps at the sight of a Newbie. Stopping, she takes off her Backpack of Doom, and pulls out a leathery, black bird, handing it to said Newbie.
"Here, have a Pidgin!" she cries, giving him the best, least maniacal smile she can come up with, which, incidentally, isn't very nonmaniacal.
"hay, wud u say?" asked the bird, looking back to glare at Rose with a single red-rimmed eye.
"Well, er, got to go!" says Rose, her smile becoming rather frantic as she backs away. "Hope you have a good time here! See you around!" with that, she runs out, leaving the startled Newbie holding a Pidgin, and not knowing what to do with it. 
Have a gun. Better that crossbow and arrows to get rid of Sues.
Is it a Dirty Harry magnum? Is it a SGC P90? Is it a XM-8? Is it a Barrett 50 cal? Is it a Desert Eagle? Is it a... Why are you pointing that at me?
Sorry, working off some caffeine. Yes, I know, which idiot gave a PPC recruit caffeine.
Feel free to use it on Sues.
All I need is one more, plus a specific scroll, to pull of Raiten Taisou II.
