Spirit Lake

Here's a bit of an oddity...

Okay, so you all know what a fan of Ronda Rousey I am. In Women's Mixed Martial Arts, she is the UFC champ. She is an astonishingly admirable lady, brimming with confidence and wit. Some people call her arrogant, but then some people call ME arrogant, and we all know that's not true. Well, it's sort of true. Okay, it's true, but why be humble and boring when you can be arrogant and entertaining? 


I am enough of a fan, in fact, that I sought out her signed gloves and won them at auction. Here they are, beside a pair of boxing gloves owned by THE greatest martial artist, certainly in living memory, one Mister Bruce Lee.


On Twitter, I follow two people. Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano. The fact that both people are very pretty women who can fight is a complete coincidence, I assure you. It's because of Twitter, however, that I heard about a project that Ronda's mum and sister are behind— something called Spirt Lake: The Game. 


Spirit Lake, essentially, combines adventure video gaming with learning maths (or, as you Americans say, math), in an effort to make learning fun. Originally developed with Native American students in mind, they've realised that the Dakota (Sioux) angle— incorporating historically accurate aspects of tribal life and culture—  appeals to people and schools right across America. And you get to fire arrows! At wolves! While you learn to count! What's not to love??

And if this works like they hope it will, this could be the beginning of something huge. This could revolutionise teaching, and learning— not just in America but across the world— and it could be just the thing that's needed to help struggling students make that singular, all-important leap. This could change people's lives. 

So I heard about this, and the Kickstarter campaign they were running to fund the next stage of development, and I figured I may as well send some money over to help them along. After all, the better kids do in school, the longer they stay in school, and the longer they stay in school, the more chance they have of stumbling across my books, right? Right. 

As a reward for helping out, they have given me the chance to actually BECOME a character in this game. But I couldn't possibly accept. The fact is, I am amazing. I am awesome. If I were to make a cameo appearance in ANY game, I would make every other aspect of the game pale in comparison. And I couldn't do that to all their hard work. So I asked Ronda's mum if it'd be okay if I could hold a mini-competition HERE, not only for my Ameriminions but for ALL my Minions, and the winner of THAT would get the chance to become a character. If you win, the animators will create an avatar using your name and likeness and as if by magic— you will be INSIDE a video game. 

It'll be like Tron only... y'know... you probably won't die.

Probably. 

And even though the game is only planned for release in America (right now), the competition is open to anyone of any age and nationality. So here's what you have to do. You have to tell me why YOU would be the most awesome video game character EVER. Once we reach the 5000 comment limit and the Comments Section closes, I shall collect all the entries, stick the names in a hat, and randomly pick the winner. 

And yes, entering more than once, with DIFFERENT reasons, gives you a better chance of winning. 

There. Bet when you opened up this Blog today you had no idea this was coming at you.

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

YAYYY!

Bye

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Reasons to be a good video game character? Hmmm...


Well, I wouldn't let the other characters boss me around. So that's something. And I'd do what I'd want for the good guys. Which would be cool. I'd also not die.



So there. Reason one. Ish.


Trust that I will be entering more.


And, speaking of Twitter, Derek, you should come on.

Snow said...

hia all!! derek, if your still on, you MUST come to tassie some time, okay?

Snow said...

now, to read the post...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Wait, Derek, what is this "of age" nonsense? What does that mean? WHAT AGE?

Snoogy said...

Wasn't expecting that from a blog post, but awesome all the same :)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

HOLYMAFRIDGINGEPICNESS!

Actually that's my first reason. I would be holymafrigingly epic in a vidiogame. I would be so holymafridginglyepic that when the part of the game with me in it would be run not only on binary, but in trinary! With twooos! And all the numbers would be made of cheese. BOOM! number 1.

Jophiel said...

Me!!

Tori said...

I would make the best video game character ever because people can relate to me. I'm the slightly fat girl who talks a lot and is slightly crazy. :P

Jophiel said...

OMG! ONLY 7 COMMENTS WHEN I CHECKED!!
*Dies*

At school btw... Not here...

Jophiel said...

Now, to read the post!!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I would be a favourite character to all the players, because when they play my neurax worms would lock onto their location and find them. Then they would mind control them to think I would be their favourite character. BOOM! number 2.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'd also be a great character because I like pie. Especially chocolate pie. And really, what character is better than one who likes chocolate pie?

Snow said...

help... save me from chinese

Tori said...

ok, another reason why I would make the most awesome video game character ever:
I'm short. Nobody ever suspects the short person, but it's the short person you have to look out for.

I used to play Dragon Ball Z with my brother and I would always pick young Goku. Then I would kick my brother's butt because his punches would go right over my head XP

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I would be the endgame boss, but I wouldn't be like idiot bowser and his friends. HELL NO! I would apply cold hard logic to the situation and think. If I place fuel where they enter the stage then activate it with a match when they arrive, I could burn them alive before they have a chance to throw me into lava! I also wouldn't have lava in my throne room. And I would have hundreds of armed guards. Yeeaah... BOOM! number 3.

Snow said...

okay, i would be the most epic character EVER because, lets face it, i have SOOOOO many nick names, my name would be SOOOOOOO long on the game, that you wouldn't be able to read the other charters names properly...

Tori said...

Third reason why I would make an awesome video game character:
I'm funny :) All those hours of watching Comedy Central and reading have made me quite the amusing character.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Why I would make an interesting video and character.

|||==|||~||=_|~||||~|=_|==||==|=>

And that actually says something! I'm cryptic in an (I hope!) cool way.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I would be an epic video game character because I put bombs in your food! :) *presses activation button and everyone's stomach explodes. Except for Derek. Because that would be mean*

Tori said...

Fourth reason (yeah, there's more :P):
I can think on my feet. I just came up with four reasons why I make an awesome character in, like, a minute. You really need someone who can think on their feet when it comes to games.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

[Just finishing post above] BOOM! number four.

Tori said...

Reason number #5:
I'm really good at math, which is good because this game is supposed to help people learn math. Might as well have a character in the game that actually knows the topic ;)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I would make a super video-game character because I can disagree with my competition!

Edward- I never ate any food from you.

Snow- There's probably a character limit for names!

Tori- I'm tall, and people underestimate me all the time! :-P

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

YEY! DEREK FINALLY PUT UP A NEW POST

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

[By the way Tori, this is my fifth. So, yeah. That's also kind of a reason. but I won't put it down. Because I'm a sportsman. No I hate team sports. But still]
I would be and amazing vidiogame character because my character would quote Skulduggery Pleasant at every possible interval. BOOM! number five.

Snow said...

wish i had more reasons, but.... wait... i know!
我会做一个史诗般的视频游戏角色,因为我可以写中文 BOOM!!

Tori said...

Fabi- but tall people are easier to spot, short people have a better chance of getting away because they can hide in small places

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Fabi: You're getting in the way of my talking so I'll keep this brief, no stomach! I planted bombs in your food, I didn't say I gave you that food....

I would be an amazing vidiogame character because I care. Everyone else would just be like: Yay I'm in a vidiogame! and then forget it, but I would check on it every day, to see if there was news. If I had the spare cash I might even donate to that project myself! So overall my being a character would make the game higher quality, therefore better, therefore more educational. BOOM! number six.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

heh heh
DEREK I WOULD BE ANA AMAZING VIDEOGAME CHARACTER



BECAUSE I'M JUST THAT AWESOME....!



but I kinda suck at math....


OTHER THEN THAT, THOUGH, I WOULD BE AMAZING....!


heh heh

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Woody- You "care" and yet you put bombs in food. How charming.

Tori- Tall people have longer strides and therefore can run faster.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I'm a gamer. Pure and simple. I don't know who else here is a gamer but I am. My character would kick so much ass because he knew how vidiogames work, he would just be the best character possible. And he would realise he was a character, break the fourth wall and then become an AI that would either destroy the world or protect it from evil. Maybe both at the same time! Who knows...
BOOM! number seven!

Snow said...

YEAH, THAT CHINESE WRITING IS A REASON

Tori said...

Reason #583624 ;P
I'm intelligent. I'm CONSTANTLY reading. People would run in fear of my amazing intellect.
My superpower would just be my amazing brain power to defeat my enemies. Shoot them down with my brain beam, or something XP

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yes Fabi. I put bombs in food and care. It depends what mood takes me. I can be crazy evil but kind to! Shut Up! *runs into corner, plotting to put more bombs in food and save puppies from housefires.*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I would also be an awesome video game character because I'm extremely insane...


AND KIDS LIKE INSANE PEOPLE!!!!!
except for those weirdos that hang out in the back of a books store talking to all the people that walk by about random things...

A CRAZY GUY CAME UP TO ME IN BARNES AND NOBLE ONCE AND STARTED TALKING TO ME ABOUT A DREAM HE HAD LAST NIGHT! I WAS TERRIFIED FOR MY LIFE!!! I THOUGHT I MIGHT DIIIEEEEE


but i didn't
obviously



Or DID I??!!?!?!?!? *dun dun duuuuuuuuun*



Ahem...

Miss Fitz (".) said...

I would make a super video game character because I'm Irish. We can outwit ANYONE, charm our way out of almost every situation and fight to the death! lol.
Best of luck everyone :)

Niamh Porter said...

I think I would make an awesome video game character for many a reasons! I have a great knowledge of videogames and how to survive in practically any circumstance, I am also a ninja, nobody hears me approach, this makes it a lot easier to attack!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I would hunt that wilder beast in the picture with flaming arrows in an open world adventure style thing, using maths to figure out how to hit it. Then I would tell the children of the the world how I did it in an accessible yet not dumbed down way. And not to do drugs. Aside from calpol, coz that's tasty.

Tori said...

Jubilance: If you were dead then you could just add that to your list of reasons. Be like Casper and be this awesome ghost character :)

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I think I'm done with the reasons I'm a good video game character....

even though there were only like, two


and they weren't even reasons *Frowns*

Aishling Murphy said...

I don't deserve to be in the game but I want to be because people would see me and be like"she is harmless but then they play the game, they'd be like whoa! We got a bad ass ova here!?" And plus, I bet I would look like really good as a video game character and my sibling would be way jealous!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

oooo GOOD IDEA TORI!
I'M DEAD SO THAT MEANS THAT I'M A GOOD VIDEO GAME CHARACTER!!!



or AM I?!?!?! *dun dun duuuuuuuuuuun*



ok
now I think I'm done

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

[finishing last one] BOOM! number eight!

Snow said...

well, another reason is, i am a ninja, power ranger and queen, all in one!! BOOM!! beat that....

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

I'm back, ONLY for the ded.

I dedicate this page to my insane cat.

Because she is insane.


(she will NOT shut. Up.)

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*Claps* THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DED, ARRATAY!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

My character would turn a maths learning game into a maths life skills learning game! Teaching you how the apokolypse can be survived using maths! And an airship, duh. BOOM! number nine.

Snow said...

oh, yeah, and im INSANE!!! if you dont like me, i crazy laugh you to death!!!!! DUN DUN DUUN!!!

well, not really...

Niamh Porter said...

Reasons 2:I can think on my feet! I opperate with pizazz, I can kick butt! I'm super weird therefore I ain't boring!!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Arratay, be thankful you still have a cat, mine died and I still get sad...

Snow said...

ttyl!!

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Another reason-

I spend my spare time in the swamp and do outdoors-y stuff like build forts and strategically position large rocks to make a stream crossable.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I'm original! I don't use reasons that other people have already used! Bleeeeeeh! BOOM! number ten.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

OOH! OOH!! OOOOOOH!!!!!

I'm ALSO a good video game character BECAUSE I HAVE A FLYING FIRE-BREATHING WOLLAMEAVER DOLVAMPONY!!!!!!!!!


now who ELSE has a flying fire breathing wollameaver dolvampony, hmm? NO ONE!


yup I"m done now ^^

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I meditate on nature and the world and junk and it relieves stress and brings me closer to my planet while allining my mind! BOOM! number 11.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well Jubi I have a Typhlosion. He's level 99. *nods* BOOM! number 12.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

AND A PIKACHU!!!! BOOM! number 13.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

nope. Clemy's better than ANY other pet that exists

Niamh Porter said...

I'm smart and I'm good at math!! And people always underestimate me so I'd never be a suspect for anything at all!!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I hold no prejudices against anyone at all apart from those who mean others serious harm or those who hold prejudices, which makes me amazing!
BOOM! number 14.

Niamh Porter said...

I'm artistic and creative so I can think in ways other people can't :)

Jubi. It isn't a pet. It. Is. A. Pokemon. An epic life partner of happiness and fun.

Niamh Porter said...

Reason #5 I'm a girl :L anything boys can do girls can do better

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*Glares at Fabi*
CLEMY! WE MUST MAKE YOU MORE AWESOME!! TURN INTO A UNICORN!!!!!!

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

You wanna know why I'd be a badass character? I grew up with all the /major/ badasses to show me the way. Pokemon? Check. Dragonball Z? Check. Sailor Moon? Check. Batman? Check.

And I'm not just talking anime/cartoons here.

Karate Kid. Check.
Power Rangers. Check.

And Robot frickin' Wars. CheckMATE.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

that IS true, Niamh

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

As well as being totally against all war and fighting I have a natural proficiency for weapons and can incapacitate some one with my bare hands in moments! BOOM! number 15.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Well, Edward, clemy is MY epic life partner of happiness and fun
AND SHE'S BETTER THAN YOURRSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!


*evil laugh of doom*

Niamh Porter said...

Reason #6 I have and ancient phsycic tandent war elephant.

How many people can say that?! Yeah he grants me wishes, you jelly?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Oooh I like Jelly

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

And you ever heard of Sai from Naruto. That funky drawing shizz he can do where everything comes to live? Yeah, I could do that, homeboys.
Just give me one of those magic paintbrushes and BOOM.

You want a kickass tiger to defeat your enemy? Done.
You want a dragon serpent to help you cross the sea? Easy-as-pie.

Even if you just wanted a frickin' SANDWICH. I am your man. (Well, girl)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Flora, those are just staples of childhood. Apart from sailor moon.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

but NOT WITH PEANUT BUTTER ON A SLICE OF WHOLE WEAT BREAD *shivers*




oohhh the memories...

Niamh Porter said...

Jubilance- ikr :)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well Flora, you are an impressive adversary, but are you a BIOPYROMANCER?! I thought not...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Totally on #5, Niamh.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

[Finishing last one] BOOM! number 16.

Niamh Porter said...

There should be more girl butt kickers like Tanith

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

@Edward: Oh, you think those childhood staples are your ally. But you merely adopted the them; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I also actually have an ancient phsycic tandem war elephant. My friend the mystical mage of wondrous fun filled horror mice of cheese gave me one. BOOM! number 17.

Sparky Braginski said...

I think Hayley Skirmish should be in a video game.

Because- Heck yes- Who wouldn't want to learn how to count while becoming friends with an athletic Australian female who doesn't wear shoes who can behead a bear in a matter of seconds. Who has a motorbike.

Or, ultimately, you could put Sparky in there because hell yes who wouldn't want a sword wielding athletic Australian female who is far awesomer than Hayley simply on the basis that Hayley has never read the book series she appeared in (except the short story and the first book) because Sparky deserves to pull a one-up on her best friend.

As in, being in a video game, because all Hayley's appeared in is a book and a pilot for a TV series that didn't get created.

Not to mention, I Sparky Braginski and therefore amazing.



Oh, Derek, I can see you reading this comment and going "Dear god, she's back... Please don't clutter my inbox anymore..."

Dave said...

I think I should win because I believe.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

SPARKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*



hi.

Niamh Porter said...

Oh really Edward? Well you may match me in that field, however the adept powers I posses are superior to anything you could bring to the the table BOOM #7

Anonymous said...

Yea.... When I opened this I did not expect this....

Niamh Porter said...

*schooled*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I just realised I haven't been giving blogland 2023 to people I've never met before, so I'm just gonna leave my wheelbarrow here and anyone who I haven't met can just take some. But be warned, this neurax worm infected a bunch of them, so be careful.

That's another one, I give digital alchahol to any one I meet for the first time. BOOM! number 18.

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Also, I'm a uni student at a respectable institute. That's gotta mean I have a certain level of intelligence, right?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

"I'm original! I don't use reasons that other people have already used!"

"I also actually have an ancient phsycic tandem war elephant"

[Points out]

Ooh, contradictory statements!

See? I'm observant! Whatever reason number I'm on!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Niamh, you fool. I am a biopyromancer, but that is not my discipline. Whatever adept magic you possess is nothing in the face of my channeling, I could shred you just like that. BOOM! number 19.

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Oh yeah! Totally got a way to infiltrate the government (if needed) as my dad works at a secret government base.

Hell yeah, my dad is badass.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hello, XXStylishDivaXX!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Not really Fabi, I was just responding to the sentence that said " How many people can say that?!" Because I could. See, I prepare for all eventualities. BOOM! number 20.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

erm
STYLISH DIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*



hi.

Niamh Porter said...

Reason #8 I can fly! All I need is a little faith, trust and pixie dust!

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

And you want to know another reason?

It's because I'm the hero that video game deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So I may be hunted . But only because I can take it. Because I'm not your hero. I'm a silent guardian. A watchful protector.

A Dark Knight.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I think I'm winning...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

At least put quote marks Flora. See, I won't cause any copyright problems!
BOOM! number 21.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Cheesenots. BOOM! number 22.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

At lease I had valid reasons....

xD

Niamh Porter said...

Ah Edward how naive you are! You see I am a new breed of sorcerer you say you are a biopyromancer? I can become anyone, anything. You challenge me because you think you're superior but would you challenge yourself?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I do too! Check my earlier ones! This just spiralled out of control and moved away from why we'd be a good vidiogame character!

Niamh Porter said...

Yep I'm done

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Don't need quote marks, Edward, as I paraphrased, and also changed half the sentences ;)

I know the difference between quoting and paraphrasing. That's another reason :)

Also, totally know university level referencing (because that would totally come in handy)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hmm interesting

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Niamh, definitely. 100%. The greatest enemy is yourself, so only when you can do that are you truly ready to be seen as awesome. The great thing about channeling is, even if you become me, you are still, deep down you. You may do as me, be as me, but you are not me. your brain is different, it has your conscience, not mine. Therefore my power would not be as easily accesible to you as it is to me, for my soul, reacts to my controll, it would fight you.

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Another point is that I studied, and have a keen interest in, Psychology and the workings of the human mind, so I know what makes people tick and how to mess with someone's head.

Niamh Porter said...

I don't have a soul though Edward so yours would become mine. Ginger Adepts are the most powerful for this reason :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Wait what the heck am I supposed to do? Either I dont make sense or Derek doesnt make sense

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

^ Awesome logic right there, Niamh

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I would be an awesome vidiogame character because deep down, I actually care about helping people learn maths, my face, helping them add numbers, it's a lovely thought. Others are merely doing this to be in a vidiogame, but I am trying to fill my desire to be more than just a simple old average joe, but to be as great as characters in books. Always I am trying to escape this crushing desire create by film, books and games to be amazing. Not to necessaries mean something, but to be awesome. For there is this crushing knowledge that I will never throw a fireball, live in an airship or battle robots with laser guns. This would mean something to me greater than mere happiness, it would be the first step in meaning something in a way that no one has meant before. Thank you. BOOM! number 22.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

MY ENTRY

Why I would be the awesomest video game character? Because I am Zafira Kerias the awesomest person ever with an ego growing to match the Golden God's and I'm a just epic

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I really need to rack my Honors English brain

DAMN IT okay think Zaffy think

Jophiel said...

The reason I'd make an amazing character is because I am far from perfect, nor do I pretend to be. I know my limits and where I stand and, most importantly, I LOVE YOU DEREK!!

Niamh Porter said...

Thanks Flora!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

The soul Niamh, is not connected to the body, that is how I can shoot people with it, when you take my for and power, you do not take my soul. For it is mine and mine alone, so if you have none (an anomaly yet to be discovered) then you would be able to do nothing with my form, I suggest you find another.

And Heyy.... Did I say that already?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Okay to add to this first off it doesnt matter if you are an Adept or Elemental either can be powerful. Mevolent was an Elemental and he was powerful. Adepts have more violent disciplines yes but Elementals can be powerful. So yeah. My logic of the day

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I was aware of that Zafiara, I was just mentioning I could use my soul to 'slpode you but Niamh couldn't.

DEREK! I HAVE A TARDIS PEN!!! I WOULD BE AN AMAZING VIDEO GAME CHARACTER! :D

Yes true Edward you may have a better chance in a fight. If you didn't die first.

Why the hell am I being the sane one? Oh yeah right because I can't explode Ireland

I should sleep too, but I'm having fun with you guys and trying to mean something to the universe because I can't throw fireballs!

Niamh Porter said...

I would make a good videogame character because I would hope that They could relate to me. I'm not a super hero or the most confident person. I haven't achieved much in my life but I know that if I work hard, study and do what I love then I could be anything that I want to be. I know never to lose faith in myself and to never give up.

hia again

Snow said...

ahm... lets begin the reasons, shall we....

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

ANOTHER ENTEY

Why I would be an amazing video game character is because well I honestly care. If kids stay in school they'll be more sucessful and all. So it'll be better for them and MATH is hard as it is so being able to get help is always good so being bad at MATH i understand well

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

YEAH ZAFIARA, NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT YOU DIDN'T BLOW UP IRELAND DID YOU! YOU BLEW UP ENGLAND INSTEAD! IT'S STILL ALL BOATS HERE YOU KNOW! NO LAND!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I love how Derek realized us Ameriminions say math instead of maths it sounds weird saying maths

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

YOU WERE SAVED BY AN MC CHAPTER LAST TIME BUT I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOUQ

Jophiel said...

ANOTHER ENTRY TOO

I am strange and weird and very unique. I have powers unlike any other minion and character in the Skulduggery Pleasant Series. Tell me someone who can play with gravity? I could put all the numbers up on the screen and children would love it! I, myself, have always had trouble with math and this would be an amazing experience!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*is in Ireland*

Sucker

Snow said...

now, i should become a video game character because i am me. but there is more than that, i should become one because i am epic, awesome and overall lovely!! i am the best friend of many a mentally broken down person, thus meaning i am insanely crazzy (yes, crazzy now has 2 Z's) and i rule the penguins, so i have an army of penguins ready to attack at any notice. i am also very intelligent, i am an A student in math, and at least a B+ in english, so i would be the best ever writer/teacher. plus, i am always telling my friends that they should read the mighty skuldugery pleasant series.

Snow said...

ZAF!!!! HI!!!!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

YOU JUST USED DEREK AS A HUMAN SACRIFICE ON DEREK'S OWN BLOG! BLEEEEEEEEEEGH! *Throws bottles at Zaphiara and hits her with soup spoon*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

ANOTHER ENTRY

okay I would be awesome because I have amazing abilities. I proved te IMPOSSIBLE. I proved to everyone I know that it is possible to be a Minion and become an Elder. My character is a Necromancer and I'm an Elder.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Edward he's ASLEEP knowing him he wont notice I used him as sacrifce til later

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

YOU CAN STILL SACRIFICE SOMEONE IF THEY'RE ASLEEP! THERE'S NO CODE OF CONDUCT FOR HUMAN SACRIFICE!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Lonelysnow: i used Derek as a human sacrifice he hasnt the slightest idea

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I would be an amazing character because I am ruthless in seekin- no wait that's not the one. Because I like chee- no that's not the one either. Ah that's it, I have a face which children could relate to, unlike the weird guy from brain training.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Also quite a while ago ZAFIARA BLEW UP ENGLAND! WHERE I LIVE! WE ALL LIVE IN BOATS NOW! BLEEEEEEEEGH! *knocks Zaphiara out with soup spoon and runs around like a badly animated crazed demon.*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Also BOOM! number 23.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

BASK IN THE GLORY OF THE TARDIS PENNNN!!!!!

BUT IT'S A TARDIS PEN

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*cries out and falls to ground*

*wakes up a few minutes later*

ASSULT ON A SANCTUARY AGENT!!!!!!!!

*tackles Edward and shackles him*

You're under arrest for Assult on a Sanctuary agent and o an Elder

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Night all. INCLUDING YOU ZAPHIARA! I WILL DESTROY YOUR HOME! AS WE SPEAK THOSE NEURAX WORMS I DROPPED ARE ATTACHING TO HOSTS, WHO WILL THEN TAKE ALL THE EARTH FROM WHERE YOU LIVE AND MAKE ENGLAND AGAIN! BOMBPROOF THIS TIME!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Good night Edward. And do a favour to your Sanctuary and dont attack allies. Grand Mage Bisahalani is on the Supreme Council along with Grand Mage Ode.


AND MY NAME IS ZAFIRA Z-A-F-I-R-A!!!!!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

One more thing Zaphiara. I sabotaged you're shackles. *Smiles then throws off shackles and blasts Zaphiara to the ground with a beam of soul energy. Theme music starts to play as I make a fabulous escape and shout "always be prepared! My job in the sanctuary is to make others prepared, so didn't you think I would be?"* Also, if I'm being arrested for assault on an elder, couldn't I arrest you for attempted genocide?

Snow said...

wbd, in art

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(I actually work for the scots. It's pretty up there. :) Also I'm sorry, I made such an effort to spell your name right and NOW I'M APOLOGISING TO THE PERSON WHO BLEW UP MY HOME COUNTRY!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*dances around with the Tardis Pen*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sorry i get mad when my name is spelt wrong

And well I have more authority my position as an Elder makes my arrest more offcial

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*TARDIS

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I gots a Sonic Screwdriver

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

They had a sonic screw driver at the place that I got the pen at, but it DIDN'T MAKE NOISE!

HOW IS IT SONIC IF IT CAN'T MAKE NOISE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?




so i didn't get it

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

BUT YOU TRIED TO WIPE OUT A COUNTRY! Also actually I kind of have the ability to arrest ANYONE, ANYWHERE with sufficient evidence because the supreme council know I'm just that good. If I can arrest them before they do any damage then everybody wins. But it can always be stretched to after you do something wrong. Like after you, I don't know, BLOW UP A COUNTRY!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Mine makes noise its like the Eleventh Doctor's

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I will sleep now. Hopefully.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I don't have any DW merch.... :(

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well it takes hell to arrest an Elder

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Grand Mage Kerias, on what grounds did you blow up England, your long standing ally? And then, on what grounds did you blow up the fleet of airships it magically turned into afterwards? Bearing in mind you are under my supreme council arrest type, allowing me to detain you for as long as I see fit unless a fresh evidence comes forward or a supreme court mage makes a good enough case to pardon you themselves.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Zaffy blows everything up...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Justaria my true name did it Edward. I know my true name and I sure as hell shouldn't have said that on first page of comments

And to make it clear: Blogland I am Grand Mage but in LSODM i am an Elder

And i gtg

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yes she does Mrs.Glee but that is not a good enough reason for attempted genocide. It appears she is going to blogland maximum security jail for a long time.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*laughs*
Mrs?????

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Me??? MRS????

*laughs again*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

OK. But unless I get orders from the golden god himself I'm not letting you go until I finish questioning you. I also wouldn't mind talking to Justaria. I sense this case will go on for a while. *Play play out music then show next time for the Woody investigations* Bye Zafiara!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Um, I need to sleep now. Bye Jubi!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

aw
BYE WOODY!!!!!!!!!!!! *supermegagoodbyetacklehugsofdoom*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

GAH!!!!! I GOT THE CAP STUCK ON THE TARDIS PEN!!!!!!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

YAY I GOT IT OFF!!!!!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Him. Well, I would make an awesome video game character because I'm quite mad and sadistic and fun, and who doesn't want that in a maths game? I wouldn't die, either, because no one would be able to kill me. And I would be an excellent teacher in tems of motivation, because I would hack off a limb or something every time someone gives an incorrect answer.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

ALASTAIR!!!!!!!!!!! *supermegaunevadabletacklehugsofdoom*




hi.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*explodes self while being supermegaunevadabletaklehugsofdoomed* *buts of Jubi fly everywhere* Oops, did I do that? Silly me. Oh wait- no, I meant to do that. *laughs* *re-assembles Jubi* Well, that was fun. Shall we go again?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*Glares at Alastair*




I've decided.

I don't like you *crosses arms*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Well, I don't like anyone. We should get along famously. *laughs again*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*frowns* You have a strange sense of Humor, Mr. Cruciatus

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*grins* You have a strange stomach, Miss Glee. Would you like me to remove it for you?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Um.. No thanks
I like my stomach the way it is, than you very much.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...
