Steel Komodo's Character Interviews 2014 - The Results

Alright, thank you all for coming back on such short notice.

 

"It would have been better if I hadn't been in the middle of a job. And did you have to bring the Barbarian along?!"

 

"It does feel a little like gloating, no offense meant."

 

"Oh, aye? Yer jest jealous Aa'm in an' yer not~"

 

Yes, yes, calm down. Anyway, it's time to reveal the result of the voting, which I probably should have done earlier but...

 

"But you had forgotten your main characters needed an introduction, heh heh."

 

Correct.

 

Anyway, this is how it works. I roll the tractor, just as JRM does on FYM, except I do it twice. The first result gets a permanent spot on the roster, and the second - the runner-up - will become a FYM regular and minor character. Sound fair enough?

 

 "(The Chief is in agreement.)"

 

Alright, let's do this...

 

Steel Komodo's Character Interviews 2014 - Voting!

Are you all quite done beating the shit out of me?

 

 "Yes."

 

Thank fuck, because I think I'm going to be in this wheelchair for quite a while.

 

 "Frankly, I think it is still a miracle the desk emerged unscathed."

 

Yes, well... Look, here's the thing - I was originally going to sign up four characters per setting, but then I remembered Carol was coming back because...

 

 "Because Sine is returning?"

 

...Yes. So I had to make up a new opening on the fantasy side pretty quickly, and since Barbara managed to get her application in first I put her onto the main roster. There's still a space left for one of you guys to get in, but I'll have to get them reviewed first.

 

 "And how is that done, my lad?"

 

Oh, that goes to the comittee, who reads each one and makes an informed decision about who whould get in and who shouldn't. I'll feed you all the results as soon as I can.

 

Now go away, I have to mourn my shattered ribs. Ow.

 

"Metal lizard has bones like young gazelle."

 

-------

 

Yes, it's time! Time for you, the public forumgoers, to vote on who should make their official debut into ZFRP 2014! Simply vote the same as you would in a Fite or for Monster Mash and I'll tally then up as soon as I have a large-enough pool of votes to put in. Your choices are:

• Lord Geo "Le Bello" Dampierre, the famous con-man and criminal noble!
• Chief Thunder, the plains-wandering native with vengeance on his mind!
• The Tactician, a mysterious youth from parts unknown!
• Ymir the Tusk, the Terror from the Barrier with a deadly left hook!
• Count von Sabrewulf, the regal Lycanthrope in search of a cure!

If you haven't already, check out the cases they have made on my blog, then get to voting in the comments! First place ensures a definite spot in the roster, whilst the runner-up has the potential to become a FYM regular over the year.

 

VOTE NOW!

Steel Komodo's Character Interviews 2014 - Sabrewulf

Uuuuurgh... my head. What happened? Where am I? And more importantly, why is my desk not a shattered mess?

 

AAH A WOLF D:

 

"Good evening, sir. I apologize for my current state, but my formal clothes no longer fit me."

...Oh, yes. Count von Sabrewulf, was it? You're the last one I have to interview before I can start the voting.

"Indeed. Oh, I see you have a mahogany desk! And an expensive one, too!"

Trust me, you won't believe how much it cost. And it's had no end of bad things happen to it.

"Yes, I heard about what happened with the Barbarian. Most unfortunate - the previous one was an antique, I hear. What a waste..."

I'm still a bit sore about that, to be honest...

Steel Komodo's Character Interviews 2014 - Chief Thunder

Ah, finally. My new desk has arrived. Now, wasn't there someone meant to come in today?

 

Ah, yes. Lemme just get my Babelfish in... aaaaargh.

 

There we go. Now, let me just.

 

THUNK

 

SON OF A BITCH

 

 

 

"(Why have I been summoned to your hollow totem, metal lizard?)"

 

You know damn well why, Thunder! And look - this desk was brand new!

 

"(Leaves die and fall away in the autumn. Nothing lasts forever.)"

 

Cut it out with the prophetic wisdom already! Ugh, let's just get this dome. Take a seat.

 

...Ah.

 

"(I find it unnatural to be raised off the ground. I hope you will forgive me.)"

 

No, it's my fault. I should have brought cushions, perhaps. Anyway, let's start.

 

Bear Accessories - A Killer Instinct Song

So Maximillian recently posted a silly video where he sings about Chief Thunder's bear costume parts in the new Killer Instinct, to the tune of Bare Necessities from Disney's Jungle Book, and you can find it here. Anyway, after watching it, I suddenly started making up extra lyrics for it, and now suddenly this is here. So get playing the video linked below and prepare to sing along.

Look for the Bear Accessories,
The simple Bear Accessories.
Forget about that ninja and his knife.

I mean the Bear Accessories!
The bear is dead, but he agrees
That brings the Bear Accessories to life!

Wherever you're playing,
Chief Thunder's your main.
So use those two axes
To bring the pain!

You can't do damage from afar,
So get in close and let us spar.
And when you're stomping on noobs like ants
Then take a glance at the fancy pants
And maybe buy a few!

The Bear Accessories of life will come to you!
They'll come to you!

Look for the Bear Accessories,
The simple Bear Accessories.
Forget about that werewolf's shitty life.

You need the Bear Accessories,
So bust those combos out with ease
To bring the Bear Accessories to life!

Now when you drop a Triplax
Cause you stood over there,
And your face Orchid's fist smacks,
Well, next time, beware!

Don't pop your ultra when you jump in!
When you pop your ultra, do it from the spin!
But you don't need to use the spin
For the Call of the Earth, you can just jump in!

Have I given you a clue?
The Bear Accessories of life will come to you!
They'll come to you!

So just try to relax, yeah?
Cool it, fall apart in Thunder's yard.
Because if you're like Glacius, playing keepaway...
Uh-uh. You're trying too hard.

And don't spend your time in the Dojo
Just messing around.
Trying for combos that can't be found.

When you find out you look swag with them on,
And play along climbing ranks with them on,
I'll tell you something true:
The Bear Accessories of life will come to you!

Look for the Bear Accessories,
The simple Bear Accessories.
Forget about that ninja and his knife.

I mean the Bear Accessories!
The bear is dead, but he agrees
That brings the Bear Accessories to life!

That brings the Bear Accessories to life!
