Did you know game!

This time on Did You Know?! Roleplaying! Did you know that I started playing Atsuko by complete chance not just once, but twice? It all started back in 2008 on a Fantasy Medieval site. On there my main character was a Paladin King by the name of Alan Desmond, and the Kingdom was called Yorkclaw. The Desmonds were a long-lasting line of Paladin Monarchs that first came to the continent of Atlas and warred with the Elvish Kingdoms of Yuurkelaw. Aldwin Desmond brought victory and thus, the land was renamed.

Yorkclaw itself proved to be one of the longest standing factions; it was undefeated for the entire life of the site. Unfortunately this, among other things proved to catch me a lot of flak. Eventually a 'sequel' to the site was made which focused entirely on a new generation of characters.

I was faced with a small dilemma: Alan had no suitable heirs. His eldest son was slain by one of the Soul Eaters serving under Lady Death, while his second son was turned into a Goblin and was never seen again. As an extra kick; his grandson was also kidnapped... However, this left his granddaughter who at the time was named Aurora Desmond.

I chose Aurora Desmond to be specifically trained and raised by Alan in order to become a suitable ruler in his stead. She was purposely designed to be my last hurrah, as I was tired of dealing with all the flak I was getting for playing my characters... It turned out, Aurora Desmond was my most popular character! That was the first time I started playing her by sheer coincidence.

The second time is actually when I joined a now defunct DBZ RP site. Atsuko Inoue actually looked entirely different from her current incarnation, but was still an Albino Saiyan raised by Monks. I originally didn't know what I wanted to do with the character, but in about the second thread I had joined which was for a legendary item... It turned out to be Excalibur, which fueled my desire to re-use Saber as a faceclaim. From there, the current plot of that site was that Demons took over Earth and... Pretty much all known life in the Universe.

So she became a Paladin once more, and became the monarch of one of the last standing cities of Humanity; North City now renamed 'Hope'. That was the second time I began playing her by mere chance! Ever since, she's become one of my standard characters. 'Aurora Desmond' for western themes, and 'Atsuko Inoue' for eastern.

Did you know? Natto is a name pun with both fermented soy beans as well as my real life nick name (My name being Renato and the nickname Nato. Just added a new T!) and that he was the saiyan character I always played in any dbz rpg, even in a Brazilian board, where I played a sort of earthling born saiyan kid which was pretty much Natto as a child. His personality is slightly based in both Pegasus Seiya and Leo Aiolia from Saint Seiya, both good characters but hot headed and impulsive. Nasu, on the other hand, is his son, but I decided to play a characters whose moral was more in the gray area. I basically based Nasu in Vegeta and Bardock, since, like the later, he care about his comrades (In Nasu's case, family, something Vegeta would only learn much later. His personality is also slightly bases in a character I played in a 2008 Saint Seiya board, Aquarius Lohrr.

Android 21's crazy personality is based in a character I created in an old 2007 Harry Potter board, a crazy death eater named Keanu Rookwood, who talked with owls thinking it was the deceases spirit of his father. He was also arrogant, without a sense of self-preservation and sadistic, just like 21. Code Red, on the other hand, is cold and calculating, a true mastermind of evil. He has emotions, but he hides it as he thinks they are weaknesses. I've played similar personality characters in table top Vampire: The Masquerade a couple times too, both the crazy personality, the cold personality, or both at once.

Finally, Galen. Galen is based on my very first table top rpg character named Kojih Hershel, an elf archer who was absolutely good and helped everyone he encountered. I've played Kojih in 2003. After that I've had plenty of Galen-style characters, but the more recent one I can remember is Pegasus Nikko, from a 2007 Saint Seiya board (I've played way tooooo many Saint Seiya boards...). He is also slightly based in plenty of heroic traits from Tales of series main characters, such as Cress Albaine from Tales of Phantasia, Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia, Luke fon Fabre from Tales of the Abyss, Jude Mathis from Tales of Xillia and Sorey from Tales of Zestiria, with still a little bit of Reid Hershel from Tales of Eternia. I'm a major fan from tales franchise. His techniques are also based in most swordsman techniques from the Tales of series.

Finally, a couple trivia about me. I make pixel art in paint. Real story! I can't use anything else and I can only do it because I'm absolutely patient and perfectionist while doing it xD. I absolutely hate when people don't use the artwork of the theme in a board, but I keep it to myself, because I know it's me being crazy (you may notice that all my character are either dbz-related or at least use toriyama art style, because I like to think we are somehow the manga and anime). I usually never rewrite or revier my posts xD

Did you know? Our dear green man's name comes from "Arion ater" (aka. Black slug) which is also a reference to the Big Green Dub, where Namekians are also defined as "Black human beings" by King Kai in the Lord Slug film. Arion and Helix's incoming future is based off on Piccolo and Kami BUT not completely; both are 'goodies' but they symbolize two different kind of Namekians: Warrior Caste and Dragon Clan.

In the beginning, Arion was not even meant to exist! At first, my thoughts for my first character weren't really directed towards the Namekian race but on Saiyans or anything else that could fight. But since I had already a Saiyan somewhere else.. I couldn't really bother with creating another filthy monkey. Last but not perhaps the best fact! There have been a 'few' TFS moments in my RPs with Arion:

a) While this is both Big Green dub and TFS, in his CP a bunch of kids call him 'Big Green'.
b) In his Assistant Claim, there is a 'Motivational Piccolo' moment in this post.
c) In the Lookout Saga, there is a 'Dammit Dammit Dammit Dammit' moment in this post.



Then, we have the Hero! That he is based off Saitama from One Punch Man.. is pretty obvious. Even if he's a bit more 'human' than how Saitama is pictured in his own series, still I try to include a bit of 'comedy' in his posts. But why didn't I actually give him a name? Well, it's quite simple.. I couldn't think of a name. So, I decided to come out with a simple alias because I was not willing to brainstorm on a name for a day or two.

Natto plays a major role in his history, after all he would have been dead without him. Though, once Natto and the others depart Earth.. another Saiyan is mentioned in his history; he has no actual name in the Human's biography, and he's no one but another character of mine from another site. After a certain point, the Earthling Saiyan disappears and nothing else is heard of him.



And here we go with my latest character; Lord Qrowen. An old Kold Demon who has suffered the pain of a self-forced exile and haunted by his own madness. The Kold Demon ultimately walks out of his insanity and earns the ability of using his inner dark powers (Bulking flavoured as Villainous Energy), which is based off on a weaker version of Villainous Mode from Xenoverse. Which actually gave me the muse to create this character while I was enjoying a few matches online with my Kold Demon character!

While his Empire is based off the Order of Revan from The Old Republic, even if there are a few differences since we are in the Dragon Ball world. As my last note.. I'll just confirm one thing: his name is an alteration of "Qrow" from RWBY, yes.
