HECKIN' GAME INFO.

(THIS IS STILL IN PROGRESS I am adding to it little by little)

So I was going to do a whole pretty code thing and then I decided instead to just steal the bare bones, very functional FAQ style post from Taranza because I'm lazy and it's much more useful when you have a lot of random shit to say. let's fuckin' goooooo

PLAYER INFO
Name: Hen
Pronouns: He/him preferred but she/her also fine
Plurk: [plurk.com profile] benthic
Discord: benthiczone
Timezone: US Pacific Time

PLAYER QUICK PERMISSIONS
Backtagging? Yes please! I tend to drop threads after about a month unless something important is happening in them, or potentially sooner if we have a more recent thread and something important is happening there.
Threadjacking? If it's a network type thing, always; if it's not, probably still yes, but ask me about it first.
Negative CR? Absolutely, so long as we're clear that IC is not OOC and there's no line-toeing regarding that.
Violence? Both comedic and otherwise are fine!
Death? Probably not, but it depends; we can keep in contact!
Shipping? 😘
Smut? iykyk
Triggers? I don't especially have any, nor do I expect any to come up with this character, but I always do my best to respect yours and keep communication open.

BASIC CHARACTER INFO
Character: Magolor
Canon: Kirby games/PGAU (Return to Dreamland DX → Magolor Epilogue → Kirby Clash → 20th Anniversary Dream Collection → Star Allies → Sidereal RP → Heckin' Game RP) (ONLY THE LAST TWO ARE RPs lol)
Fandom Wiki Page: boop
Heckin Game Alignment: Hell-Raised

THE NITTY-GRITTY

What am I even dealing with here, like, physically?



An alien! Magolor is a round, floating, brown-skinned alien with yellow eyes, two conical ears, and two free-floating hands that are not physically attached to his body. Everything in this picture that is not his eyes or the brown skin around them is covered in clothing; he has no blue or white or yellow markings. He will always be covered entirely except for his eye area unless stated otherwise.

He is about the size of a standard Squishable and weighs around 10 pounds. He moves by hovering freely in the air and will generally be speaking to people at eye level or slightly below it.

He looks kind of like he has cat ears. Is he a cat?

The short answer: Surprise, he's actually a bird!

The much longer answer: Canon has never revealed what Magolor looks like under his clothing, and it's extremely unlikely it ever will. We know that his ears are the same brown as his face, and that he probably has five-fingered/human-ish hands under his mittens, and that's literally all we get.

That said, I'm not the kind of person who can play a character whose body I don't know anything about the workings of, so I had to make some educated choices in what I think he actually looks like, and my conclusion is that he's a type of Doomer, which is a group of mostly avian aliens that closely relate to Magolor's intro game/origins. I decided on this because 1. it makes the most sense when you take into account everything about his character, and 2. I also felt like it har har. You can see my in-depth rationale here if you care; note that this was written a while ago and that canon has outright confirmed some of my once-assumptions since (e.g. that the things on his head are ears, and that he wasn't born on Halcandra).

Post-Sidereal, Magolor is much less obsessive about concealing this and has even done things like publicly appear naked in the hot springs, which is about as scandalous as Kirby publicly appearing naked in all of his games. In a new setting it will take him some time to be that open again, but it's more likely than it once was.

What am I even dealing with here, like, mentally and emotionally?

I decided to just do this in brief list format instead of subjecting anyone to any more of my overexplaining. Besides, you should thread with me to find out, so long as none of the below puts you off (and fair if it does, I have an opt-out for that)!

Magolor is:

  • An adult male, but it's impossible to tell this from his voice or appearance
  • A PGAU from a jamjar RP called Sidereal
  • Outwardly outgoing, friendly, helpful, upbeat; a little bit overly forward, histrionic, attention-seeking
  • Not quite the person he appears to be when acting out the above (except for the attention-seeking part. That part is 100% true)
  • A cheerfully lying and conniving capitalist snake
  • Extremely intelligent and highly skilled in many areas, both magical and mundane
  • Not actually a terrible person or incapable of forming deep, loving connections over time


Among other things!

Let's start with the PGAU.
