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.

Steel Komodo's Character Interviews 2014 - Dampierre

"Sir, I have good news and bad news."

 

Start with the good news, please.

 

"Your replacement desk has been ordered and will arrive in short order. On top of that, we have now accepted Barbara's application and made her a permanent member of the roster."

 

...and the bad news?

 

"Lord Dampierre is here to see you."

 

Ugh... Send him in.

 

 

"Ho ho! Le Bello apologizes for the lateness, dear boy! It's just that I'd got into a rather unfortunate scrape involving some armed guards, a priceless painting and-"

 

Save the theatrics for later, Dampierre. Are you finally ready to hand in that bloody application or what?

 

"Of course, my lad! Here you go - signed in triplicate, as promised!"

 

...Half of these signatures are-

 

"Oh, but Le Bello has to take precautions, does he not? After all, some people simply can't be trusted nowadays! Oh, your desk is a frightful mess!"

 

A barbarian put an axe in it. Anyway, shall we begin?

 

"But of course! Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!"
