I mean, it's not like we insist that male characters must show of a perfectly ripped 8pack and enormous whangdoodles to show that they are male...
I beg to differ. I present Henry the VIII cod piece.
If you have gone and stared at musty collections of armour as often as I have. You will realise that cod pieces were a way of showing which knight had the biggest balls...
I actually believe the fantasy worlds depicting armour have sanitised the real vision of the family jewel protector, whilst at the same time unsanitised the female equivalent... Something to ponder on...
It's for a metaphorical pissing contest. Not all armor came with that… accessory, so it wasn't really necessary. Do you honestly think Henry VII's opponents thought he might be a woman- until they saw the codpiece and went, "Oh, that must be a man!"? I am pretty sure they knew it was a man without the codpiece. Thus, my point. I was just talking about this on the Unrealistic Fantasy thread.
Alrighty! I made the first edit. I may not always say something about my edits, but I will this time.
I altered the info about Tresset, LadyRhian (now known as Lady Emyr in the story), Metalloman, Blackraven, and Jacobtan. I also made a mild edit to Bengoshi's info, as well as changing the title/class of Oneangrymushroom and Silverstar. I also added the excerpt to the original post.
I don't think I'll be doing any more updates or writing any more this week. It seems I've got activities going on non-stop, not to mention I'm looking for a job, but hopefully I'll be able to write some next week. We'll have to see.
I really do consider melee to be a lot messier than magical combat. Why splatter blood all over the place when magical missiles would do just as well, and why leave corpses lying around when a Disintegrate would do nicely? However, I won't mind messy combat when it's not my house that I'm fighting in.
After reading all the fantasy fiction about reanimated monsters and watching Supernatural in which monsters have to be dealt with by salting and burning their bones, I'm more for destroying the remains of enemies even after they fall. Always clean up after myself
@jacobtan I actually do see you as being the sort to consider it unnecessarily messy, which is why I said it. Guess I had a surprising bit of insight into the mind of Sir Tan! XD
Wow, I am an undecided male? What exactly is that supposed to mean ^^
In all seriousness? Probably hasn't decided on whether you are actually a human. And that's understandable... after all, no real human actually likes veggies. Blerch!
Silverstar's got it figured out. =p It just didn't seem right for you to be a normal human, but I couldn't think of any specific demi-human thing for you to be. Perhaps elven, since anime characters are often quite thin and somewhat elven. We'll see.
Yes... the Cauli, a race of vegetables so pure, wise and beautiful, they are often called the flower people, were nearly destroyed when the demon Broccoli, used the races only sin, pride, against them. Broccoli gifted those easily swayed with colour. The Cauli flowers were enamoured with this, but rifts and estrangement began tearing Cauli society apart. The flower people always sought a better colour to clothe themselves but they were cursed to never find it. Jealousy caused those followers of Broccoli turn putrid green in envy. The demon Broccoli turned those disenchanted to wage war on the pure. The war has waged for eons. The demon Broccoli was destroyed long ago, and his followers took his name. The cauli and the broccoli were on the precipice of extinction. Into this stewing conflict was the cheese wars. To end the war with a decisive tasty strike, Broccoli signed a pact with Stilton a cheese devil to vanquish the Cauliflower once and for all in a green soup of despair. Luckily, a passing solar cheddar was able to intervene with life saving Cauliflower and cheese bake...
The war will continue without end... Unless the two races can be reunited somehow.

Really? Huh. That makes two librarians I know (or well, know of might be more accurate) and both are pretty cool people. Stop ruining incorrect stereotypes about librarians!
LOL. Not a librarian. A library Assistant. They aren't all Nancy Pearl, though. This is the librarian where I work. Her name is Chris Rodas. She's the lady in Blue.

The Broccoflower is the only way...

Of course many of you already know that...

Crikey, anyone else hungry after that...

False. I'm at a party right now and I just wanted to joke a bit, so no problemo! XP
No pressure meant, you know?
