I'm pretty sure Bastion's a disguised dwarf.

(Backstory: Alleb at one point translated the names of the entire Overwatch roster into Tolkienian Quenya. I then couldn't shake the question of who would have those names, and ended up drawing out the first ten. As luck would have it, both Ohtar Otso Enquë and Métimanta made it into that set.)

(Hmm... I should probably finish those at some point.)

(Anyway, random reference to thing from a year ago: go!)

Hey there! Welcome to the board. For your newbie gift, here's a replica of Crescent Rose.

Common sense has sufficed so far, but then it always does until it doesn't.

So, for starters, remember it's supposed to be silly fun, not a competition to see who can say the most hurtful things. Don't take it seriously, and don't mean it seriously. If you're not sure something is okay, don't do it. If you find yourself veering from comedy insults against fictional personas into actual insults against real people, then you need to stop.

And, of course, if someone tells you you've gone too far—maybe you came up against a personal issue, maybe you actually crossed a line—then stop, apologize, and don't do it again. Making a mistake doesn't have to be the end of the world.

A bit late, of course, but to be perfectly frank I'm not sure I've ever wished someone a happy birthday on the Board without being at least a little late.

Anyway, have a commissar cap and laspistol engraved with your personal heraldry.

Oh, and some birthday pizza. Family tradition, you see. Topping selection operates via voice command, courtesy of magic.

...can I ask your opinions on my other ideas?

hS as S76 or Bastion?
Nesh as Mercy or Mei?
Ix as Widowmaker?
Myself and an online friend (once recruited, I'm still in the process of doing so) as Junkrat and Roadhog. I think it fits, considering I'm the more "chaotic" one of the two of us and tend to get way too carried away with having fun a lot.
And then you. Le Genji.

Nah, sounds fine to me. I was just curious.

Please set your name on Discord the same as it is here. Otherwise, things get confusing.

I certainly read a lot of fiction. I'm pretty into Star Wars, RWBY, Mass Effect, Firefly, Order of the Stick, and a few more.

The majority of drama happens there, it seems. Anyway.

Why not tell more about yourself over here, for those who aren't Discord people?

-Twistey

I don't know, I guess I just got a weird idea of Genji from a couple "Overwatch Voice RP" videos I saw on the Internet. I feel like crap (OF course) for not thinking this through properly, so if you have any other ideas, I'll consider them.

(Also on "How to Be More Thoth", you mentioned "Why do work when you can... not?" Genji was a slacker in his backstory before he got cybernetics and training from Zenyatta and whatnot.)

In terms of the harassment and trolling stuff, what would go too far in a Badfic Games fic and in the interactions between our badficcer alter egos? I'd like to know so I can avoid it next time.

-Twistey

And if you want to make it clear it's me, you can hide a 40k symbol on it somewhere. Like a Mark of Tzeentch. Or something.

Well, I already poked my head into the discord. Easier talking over there.

So yeah, hi

Weird way to introduce yourself. You intend to join or what? Who are you?

-Twistey

That would be bad if I forgot, since everyone else is giving you birthday presents. I've got two for you. One virtual, and one real, since while I haven't interacted with you really all that much (my favorite instance being in the Badfic Games), you're one of the Boarders that I remember relatively well when I'm not on the Board.

Virtual present: Here is a two-handed sword that has been enhanced with a fantasy substance I'm studying. Don't grab the sword, the blade's very sharp and you don't want to scratch up things. This cushion to hold it is also for you. Hold out your forearms and hold it like a tray of food. Ah. There you go. [You examine the sword. It has a long, straight blade made of gleaming iron, with fantastic designs depicting suns, angels and more, inlaid with a rose-gold-ish material. The hilt is made of stone, under a thin layer of similar rose-gold stuff, with a section of it wrapped in black leather as a hand grip.] That peachy colored stuff is the fantasy substance. It's not as dangerous when it's refined as when it's in raw form, hence why it will only cause your enemies to feel an intense burning sensation where they've been cut and experience hallucinations, instead of undergoing a full-on transformation like they would if this were a sword made of the raw stuff. The people who created this sword, who I stole it from, like to pretend that only the "right" user can wield it to its full potential, but that's absolute baloney. That's why I gave it to you, because you are nowhere near their definition of the "right" user, so you can make them really mad by being living evidence that they're very wrong about one of their most prized weapons. I'll tell you more if you stick around long enough.

Real present: I've gotten very into Overwatch recently and today I had an idea to draw some of us Boarders as Overwatch characters that fit our personalities. I was having trouble coming up with a sixth Boarder and their character for the "here's the team that won" drawing (or a fifth Boarder, if the dude I'm trying to recruit doesn't show up). I looked through the characters and how the fandom tends to depict them, comparing them with your "How to Be Thoth" post, and I'm thinking I'll put you as Genji. Congrats, you're now part of one of my Board memes, and with the character you have, you don't even have to send a doodle of yourself. Just tell me your favorite color for me to use instead of the green details on the design so that people who look at it can recognize that it's not just Genji. Or if your favorite color is green (me too), lemme know what I could do to tweak it and make it recognizable as being "Thoth in cosplay."

Have an awesome birthday.

Hello there

Except for the main one. I kinda fluctuate tightly around the center.

So yeah. But I do know I wouldn't have any of those flag stickers.

You could ask me some of the questions if you like, or you could try to guess from my personality.

Also, sorry for replying late, I didn't see this until now.

-Twistey

Also, happy birthday! *Pfeep*

I give unto you a Campbell-pattern medium laspistol. Luke Campbell is an artist and frequent contributor to the website Atomic Rockets. His designs for realistic laser weapons are excellent.

Cheers for clearing that up. I still, iunno, personally find it a bit cheesy that there was no PMing or anything like that but, ah, well, fair enough, ey? I can understand PMing the person in question of a conversation directly a whole lot more than sort of, trying to get stuff on the Board.

Sorry for somehow implying you were an 'attack-dog'. I'm not trying to start anything and I'm not trying to go after anyone but, hey, whatever. Pardon.
