Lol, two Inspiration threads that MAKE sence!! Something that never occurs on forums (that I've been on). When it comes to the whole Brothers thing, I based them off of two main characters from the Dragonlance Series. Addis Hellfire was mainly based on Raistlin Majere, the frail and weak Archmage. Flaccus was mainly based on Caramon Majere, the big warrior who makes Conan look like a scared little puppy. Of course, I changed their personalities (Addis' personality is....well...my own lol. He was my D&D character after all and I did roleplay him). Flaccus is pretty simple: Addis' opposite. Addis is usually calm and polite. Flaccus is usually crazy/angry and can get be pretty rude. This of course sparks some (is some the correct word...?) tensions between the two. Raistlin & Caramon Majere: silipion.s.i.pic.centerblog.net/ow96bijm.jpg

Callimpsest isn't so much inspired as required. Back in 2003, the Knightmare Boarding School roleplay forum ( kmbs.proboards12.com), which was set up before this one, had a Library section that wasn't being used - so I offered my services. I hoped that whilst being available for other characters and plots, I could chuck in some humour and knowledge of my own. Sadly, there was OOC hostility to Callimpsest from the start. This post was made straight after my introductory one: Well this seems a tad unfair, dedicated posters get no promotions and some new member comes along and gets a great new position, And Callimpsest managed just 20 days on the forum before Ringmasterrob decided that what the school really needed was a bomb blast, with Callimpsest's Library not to be spared: *The explosion has sent quakes throughout the whole building, they are starting to have effect. The recently repaired Nettle-Rose corridor collapses into complete rubble, several large chunks of plaster from the library ceiling crash to the ground, which sends Callimpsest fleeing under his desk. Illusion RMR: *to Callimpsest* Good lord, these books are ruined. It came as quite a shock - the commandeering of my character is particularly unjust - and the whole incident left Callimpsest with almost nothing to offer the waning KMBS forum, compared to when I joined. We know now that Lord_Bob, whom Ringmasterrob claimed was his brother, was actually Rob himself. So maybe the OOC and IC disrespect of Callimpsest quoted above was no coincidence. Anyway, I brought Callimpsest to Surrounds last year as a main character to provide interaction for another KMBS 'crosser-over', PhoenixFlame, who had returned to Surrounds after some time away. As a character, Callimpsest is rather bland - but as long as he is generating RP opportunities for others, then I think he's worth having around.

*digs the topic up*
Wow! Nice inspiration ideas here!
I was originally going to try playing Crystal on this forum, but then I changed my mind, wanting to make a new character all together. On many websites, my username is shadow6162, so I simply named my character Shadow. I wanted to make a child who seemed all dark and mysterious but was actually just an innocent kid. The whole memory loss thing came from a game called 'Rune Factory', where the main character had his memory erased by his enemies and so he tries to find out his purpose. Shadow's appearance came from Hatsune Miku, because seriously, her hair is amazing!
And that's it!
EDIT: Oh yeah and the whole 'Voice' thing is from the books 'Maximum Ride', where Max has a voice in her head that guides her whilst she tries to save the world.

Robin is pretty much a carbon copy of the Robin I play in the Knightmare RPG. Although his appearance has changed a few times over the years, his character remains constant (even if his alignment does not). He's a fighter. He was once Robin Hood. Merlin tried to resurrect him, but made a mistake - because he's Merlin - and trapped Robin's soul in the body of his 22-year-old self. He also doesn't have any of his former life's skills, most of all longbow shooting, but (again due to a Merlin mishap) he's good with a sword, almost unbeatable, and almost bested Treguard once in those stakes. Uhm, here endeth the history lesson. Surrounds isn't in RPG continuity, although there have been some crossovers - Automatum, Kully, Ergo Grimwold, even an unused account for Gabriel, and one for Dinosaur Name - so I've taken a few liberties with his character - notably, given him a crossbow with some trick arrows. He's still not perfect with shooting - although he's pretty accurate, through hard training as opposed to natural skill. His best weapon is still his sword, though. Like in the RPG, Robin's home is in the forest, where he has a tree house. His closest ally is probably Young Grimwold, although he's quick to help anyone if he thinks he can. He likes working in a team, but can do so alone as well. And that's where we find Robin - straight out of a character I've been playing since 2002.
