/tg/ - Traditional Games (He's on the right in his angry marines shirt. The girl on the left is /x/, his waifu)

Gender/Physical Description: Dark brown hair coming down past his shoulders which he usually keeps tied in a ponytail. Brown eyes that some people claim they can see a "T" in one eye and a "G" in the other. Has light stubble. Thin, generally physically weak (But he as his moments, see below), pale from spending so much time in his basement playing D&D.

Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.: Friendly, slightly immature, a tad socially awkward, but not nearly to the degree as some would think. He's a bro to most people that get along well with him, though he is prone to infrequent, but violent fits of nerd rage.His hobbies are defined by his name; he loves all sorts of traditional games. He's played every single tabletop imaginable and knows the rules thereof inside out and backwards. Owns every possible model for games such as Warhammer, masterful painter, rages when he sees someone doing an inferior paint job or modeling job. All of his disposable income goes to his hobbies. Prone to ronriness, so when /x/ isn't around he's known to put on his robe and wizard hat. Is slightly transgendered and "wants to be the little girl." Has been caught crossdressing by /co/ and /x/ several times, and is known to collaborate with /a/ for such occasions.

Special Power: Nerd rage! Although he's normally scrawny and physically unimposing, /tg/, when enraged, can perform superhuman feats such as breaking down a door, surviving a 100 foot fall, taking a bullet and and stay standing, or pick up a car and throw it at someone (Though he usually just breaks tables in half). When he performs acts of nerd rage, he narrates himself as would a player in a tabletop game. Such things like "I break down the door!" "I make my fortitude save!" or "Strength check, natural twenty!"

Relationships: His best bro is /co/, they frequently bro the fuck up. They good enough friends to the point of giving each other backrubs when stressed (No homo, I think). Supposedly he had a short lived and unsuccessful relationship with /ck/ that didn't really end well. Now currently involved with /x/, whom he cares for deeply (As evident by saving her from /b/'s rape attempts on frequent occasions). Occasional rape victim of /d/, but hey, who isn't?

Job: Manager of a local game and hobby store that sells everything imaginable related to traditional games. Rages at stupid customers, breaks the limbs of people who break other people's models and don't pay for it, though is willing to teach most who ask nicely how to play any sort of game.

I think I got a good grasp of him. Discuss.

Yeah, most people have nevada-tan in mind when thinking about /g/uro.

I had a backstory for /x/ kinda sorta thought out. Little known fact is that when /p/ was introduced as the new photography board on 4chan, the old /p/ was moved to /x/ for a month before being deleted.

/x/ was re-introduced as "paranormal" because of the popularity of 7chan's /x/, the same day as /tg/ in February 15, 2007. Perhaps her backstory is that she was an adventurous photographer, traveling around to get the best shots, until she visited a particular house, and her whole personality changed. She left 4chan House to seek "the truth" and came back with a different eye and different mannerisms. While away, she studied various paranormal phenomena which is how she came to posses her powers. Unfortunately, her travels showed her the horrible things the paranormal were capable of, so she never feels quite right using what she learned. As for her eye, well, who knows how *that* particular story played out...

Uh, I guess the /tg/ x /x/ pairing also kind of plays into this since the boards were added the same day and are a little bit related.

Gender/Physical Appearance: Male. Has a bishonen, yet rugged and hotblooded, look. Long, red hair. He is never seen without his trademark bandanna and wild, fiery sideburns. Has a small scar on his face over his eye.

/a/ considers him extremely pretty, and is secretly jealous of him for that. Even though he has a scar running down his chest and on his arms he proudly leaves his hairless chest bare for all to see. The one exception to that rule is when he is piloting his mech.

He frequently wears his shirt tied around his waist while he's tinkering with his mech, or attempting to modify any of the household appliances.

Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior:/m/ seems to spend most of his time preparing for some epic battle that only he is aware of. He can be seen constantly tinkering with various household electronics, training his body or upgrading not only his mech but various appliances around the house. When not prepairing for an obscure epic battle, /m/ enjoys watching mecha anime series to relax. This is the one time /a/ can hang out with him and not freak out over how damn pretty he is.

He does seem to have dissociative identity disorder, going from Hotblooded super robot hero to concerned real robot hero. While in his Super robot hero identity he has a tendency toward the dramatic, occasionally giving long hotblooded monologues when he becomes excited. He also goes out of his way to be "manly", which has an opposite effect on the males of 4chan house, since most write him off as a homo.

When his Real robot personality is out he tends to become overly concerned about others almost to the point where he can feel someone else’s feelings. However he doesn’t know how to express this to the others around him, he explains it as feeling “pressure” from someone.

In general, /m/ welcomes a challenge and lives for a chance to prove that he is the hero that he knows himself to be. /m/ is oblivious to the advances of the various female characters swooning over him, often comically so. He is secretly a lolicon, and has an attraction to /toy/ he is somewhat unaware of.

He also tends to enter rooms by using a Rider kick on the doors, and always winds up fixing said door later in the day. In addition to his repair skills, he has an expansive model collection. In fact, he once had a job at a hobby shop but was fired for hiding all the new and good models for himself.

Alright, let's get some /f/ucking shit done.

Gender/Physical Description: I want to say /f/ would be male. He would be kinda small, not very buff, but isn't malnutritioned. To get things started, let's just say he has badly kept brown hair, probably sleepy because of making/storing flashes all night. Wears shorts and a tanktop?

Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior: Stays up into the depths of the night creating and obtaining flashes. He would also get flashes from all around the world, mainly EU, USA, and Japan. His behavior would be erradic. Half or more of his collection would involve /h/ related flashes, so perverse? A virgin who hits on people?

Special Power: (BLANK)

Relationships: Rarely does he go to other people, but people do come to him with /r/equests. Probably most in common with /h/?

Job: Website owner that deals with games?

so moot added a few more boards yesterday. (or last year, if you're reading this. lol traffick)
have you thought of how they might be yet, board-tan-wise?
/new/ is just an incarnation of the old /n/.
as father as son, /news/ is just as racist and antisemitic as /n/ was before it got axed.
maybe he could be one of those stereotypical neo-nazi gangbangers? always wrecking people's shit for nothing?
/adv/ is just like /r9k/ last time i checked, only more indecisive (spelling?). maybe he could be /r9k/'s little neglected brother or something?
and then we have that 3D-modeling board. yeah. the board haven't established a "personality" yet, as far as i know.
there is another new board, but 4chan is down for me as we speak, and i can't remember the last new board. ;_;

Varg related, my face when the new boards came.

x-posted at the plus4chan thread

/b/'s design hasn't been finalized yet (as much as a boardtan can be at least), right? I think I've come up with an okay idea for his character.

/b/, while certainly never normal, once used to be pretty consistent. He was friends (if you can call it that) with /g/uro, due to their love of guro, and even just gore in general. However, when /g/uro (died/moved/however you'd use it in story, I'm going with died in this post), /b/ was devastated, as it was the only board that ever liked him in the least. All other boards hated him, were disgusted with him. This is where the /b/ of the present comes from.

Shortly after /g/uro's death, /b/ was diagnosed with DID. He had a ton of different personalities, and all of them knew of the others with the exception of his main personality, which nobody ever really sees anywhere. (Basically, all the different faces of /b/. Raid coordinators, pranksters, all-around jackasses, newfags, oldfags, trolls that pick on himself, and so on. None are nice, though the more clever personalities are quite good at acting. /b/ can have his moments though.)

This leads to the /b/ of the present. The most notable of /b/'s personalities is a raid coordinator, wanting to cause the greatest amount of chaos as possible. He is able to motivate/gather faceless hordes of people from anywhere to join him (or, as has been suggested before, is able to summon them).

Optional: His fondness of /g/uro could be used as a reason for the whole boxxy incident as one personality (or more) took a liking to boxxy while the others all hated her for taking /g/uro's place and thus they pulled a bunch of crazy junk to force boxxy to move far away from the 4chan House where /b/ would never see her again.

This even works out no matter what you make him look like. Heck, he could even look different depending what personality he's in, from being a rather normal average looking loner to spewing a bunch of memes and drawing them all over himself and his clothes like a loser.

Hmmm true but /b/ is the board. so he is effected by it.... So in a sense he is the cancer as it is apart of the board.
>> No. 72
He should be kinda like Morrison's joker. He reinvents his persona every once in a while. He can be a internet superhero, a retard or just a fucked up person all at the same time.

Not different personalities, just one constantly changing one. No remorse, no disgust with some of his actions. He acknowledges and accepts every change he has.

I think we should get rid of these 'special power' entries. Design is great, and character interactions are high priority, but powers?

1: Its kind of silly having characters have powers almost arbitrarily. Its kind of a crutch in trying to diversify characters by what they do, rather than how they look and how they act.

2: We all want our favorite board to be special and awesome. When we see one board getting special attention, we want to spread it around. By making things more complex, it makes everything a huge clusterfuck. It should be about design and character interaction, not about 'my board can beat up your board'

3: to what end would 'powers' serve? As much as most of us would enjoy having a huge epic storyline... I think that's a little outside the scope of 'silly cute drawings personifying 4chan' Most stories involving personifications are oneshots, or have a very loose metaplot among several comics. So what adversary requires mystical powers to overcome?

Now, I'm not saying make everything mundane. But 'powers' don't need to be something defined. A power comes into play when there's an obstacle to overcome, for the purpose of either resolution of the task (a plot device) or as a source of a gag of some sort. /tg/ bulks out into a hambeast and becomes a raging sperg over games because its funny. /v/ rages out and punches out trolls because its a 'fuck yeah' moment. /d/ morphs shape into fetish creatures because it's perverse. Its not about overcoming an obstacle.

Its because its amusing. And thats the point of it.

The original idea for the "powers" was exactly for the large story arcs. I looked over the cast pages, and the only ones that don't seem forced are /a/, /v/, and /tg/ (and maybe /b/). The other characters' "powers" are not really "powers" and should probably be integrated into character design. /co/ being a vigilante shouldn't be in the powers section; /k/ constantly carrying firearms isn't a power, it's an eccentricity that should be incorporated into his character.

Getting rid of them completely is probably a bad idea, but they were never intended to be a central part of the character in the first place (probably, it wasn't actually my idea, so I'll double-check).

Excluding /b/, the special powers of /a/, /v/, and /tg/ are form-changes. There aren't many situations when the form-change should be invoked, but if someone has a need for an alternate form, it should be consistent. Maybe the solution is to rename the "powers" section to an "Alternate forms" section.

/d/ should just *be* a partial shapeshifter.

/b/ is a difficult character to work with because /b/ itself is so amorphous. there should probably be a new thread about /b/, but the minion part or the random-dudes-following-him-around were one of the ways to make the character work and shouldn't be axed without an alternative being introduced.

maybe relabel it as idiosyncrasies?

The original purpose for the "Special Powers" was for use in the big /b/ invasion plotline.
The idea being that they gained their "powers" through either a spell of /x/'s,
or perhaps whatever barriers were broken when "The Cancer King" was unleashed might have awoken something dormant inside them.
At any rate, they were always intended to be purely situational, and not every character ended up with anything all that crazy.
Now I agree with your points about WHY they would do these things.
I think that most of the time, they will be (or should be) for reasons just like those you posted.
I still think it's fun to try and make something big though.
I was actually the guy who wrote what little has been done so far on the big "/b/ invasion" storyline, and it's something I'd like to revisit eventually.

/c/ - Anime/Cute

Gender/Physical Description: Female. While /c/ claims to be 9 and a half, her lack of any records makes determining her exact age difficult, although she is clearly a child. Her long blond hair is frequently in ribbons, and it would be very uncharacteristic of her to wear something that wasn't in pastel colors. Wears two hairclips in the shape of hears that have "/c/" printed on them.

Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior: /c/ loves...well...everything. She cheerfully listens to everyone, although she does have a normal child's attention span. She is frequently at play and wandering the 4chan house when she is not in the room she and /toy/ share.

For unknown reasons, she uses a variety of Japanese words mixed with her English, usually those involving referencing other people. For example, she refers to /a/ as her "nee-chan", and truly does seem to treat /a/ as an older sister.

/c/ is oblivious to almost everything, including all the horrible things that happen around her. She will bounce back mentally unharmed. /c/ doesn't understand the adult world around her, especially all the sexual innuendo.

Special Power: Being adorable doesn't require a power.

Relationships: Officially adopted by /trv/ after the unfortunate demise of her parents. However, in /trv/s absence /ck/ looks after her as a surrogate mother figure. She rooms with /toy/, and considers /a/ to be her older sister. She is otherwise on good terms with almost everyone in the 4chan house

Job: None. She's a kid.

I never did like the part where she's somehow related to /trv/ (actual familial relations shouldn't be something that the characters start with... they should develop through the plot).

Actually, I changed the description after this was posted... here's what it reads now:

>Like the other inhabitants of 4chan House, /c/ has no relatives, so /ck/ looks after her as a surrogate mother figure. Her father figure is /trv/, who often sends her gifts. She rooms with /toy/, and considers /a/ to be her older sister. She is otherwise on good terms with almost everyone in 4chan House. Often with /cm/, /toy/, and /i/.

There's kind of a big difference because she's no longer a ~mysterious orphan,~ but her relationship with /trv/ and /ck/ sticks. She can room with /toy/ in any case.

I also added that she has godly luck in almost everything, which is why she avoids all the mentally scarring things that happen around her.

I imagine /c/, /cm/, /toy/, and /i/ hanging out together a lot. Maybe they have tea parties.

/e/ - Ecchi

Gender/Physical Description: Female. Caucasian, in the same vein that "we are Japanese but we all look white." Hair is in the blond end of copper-blond, usually in pigtails. Her pigtails go to her waist, but the rest of her hair is shoulder-length. Eyes are purple. Always wears earrings in the shape of "/e/" She is 17, and goes to high school as a senior. /e/ has curves in the right places and has an attractive figure in general. Her breasts are large but not disproportionate top the rest of her figure. She wears a Japanese schoolgirl uniform to school, but her casual attire consists of "hot girl" clothes: tight jeans, tanktops, babydolls, halter tops, etc. During cold months, she can be found wearing a sweater with a skirt. /e/'s wardrobe is composed with a goal of accentuating her body.

Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.: /e/ is a social butterfly: she has a deep understanding of social interactions, and can rapidly work her way up to the top of social circles with that knowledge and her good looks. She is an unintentional klutz, primarily for comedic purposes which somehow lead to her exposing more undergarments than she would like to be seen. /e/ is not an attention whore: she naturally turns heads, but her way of dressing is not a way to gain attention. Instead, it is a way for her to conceal deep insecurities about her appearance: she is obsessed with what the perfect body should look like. /e/ resents being associated with the rest of the boards residing in 4chan, she considers them freaks and misfits. She constantly strives to live a "normal" life, but the pursuit is futile (and somewhat endearing).

Special Power: None.

Relationships: /d/ and /h/ are like siblings to /e/ (the key word is "like"), but she tries to avoid them because she considers them to be offensive freaks.

She has a huge fondness for /m/, and fantasizes about being the bridge bunny for his fabulous spaceship.

Job: /e/ works as a waitress in /ck/'s diner but aspires to be a model.

The main issue with /e/ is do you personify her as a cocktease or just a giddy girl who flaunts around without thinking?

While she would be first and foremost after /m/, I don't see reason why she isn't 'guy crazy' in general. Not in the way /d/, /h/ or /s/ would be , but more of a hopeless romantic.

My take: She'd bounce around, constantly blushing at every little thing, becoming flustered which leads to her constant accidents (which always end up being more lewd looking, which leads to more fluster, and so on in some sort of vicious cycle.)

/e/ is a walking panty shot. Full fanservice, but should also represent the other side of fanservice, the reaction shot. She gets flustered and nosebleeds over seeing the males (and possibly some females) in akward situations.

Possibly should wear a chastity belt straight out of Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

Additional: Gainax bounce. Always gainax bounce. Every motion should send her tits flinging in every direction like a catfight going on in her shirt.

Cocktease, hopeless romantic, and also a virgin probably (maybe she explodes at /d/ and calls her names when she comes around at night)

>She'd bounce around, constantly blushing at every little thing, becoming flustered which leads to her constant accidents (which always end up being more lewd looking, which leads to more fluster, and so on in some sort of vicious cycle.)
Sounds about right.

/e/ would probably act as a foil to /d/. /e/ hates "freaks" like /d/ who are so openly promiscuous...but she ends up doing the same unintentionally. /d/ perceives love far more sexually than /e/.
