who was speaking of Fandoms' zodiac signs?
I was, just a couple posts ago. :D
who was speaking of Fandoms' zodiac signs?
They'd probably just go back to the Red Cross. :PAlso, I made a thing because I was bored.
First, there was the Red Cross of St. George, the flag of England.
Why a cross? Maybe England secretly wanted to be a Scandinavian state? \_(ツ)_/¯
Some time later, Wales joined England. However, nobody cared about them, seeing as the flag was never changed to symbolize their joining. In fact, even the country's name wasn't changed yet. Poor Wales, forever neglected by the sands of history D:.
Now, Scotland's joining, on the other hand, was much more acknowledged by everyone. The country's name officially became the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and the Scottish flag was added onto the Red Cross of St. George, creating this:
Note that the colors of the Scottish part are changed; the original Scottish flag is a much lighter blue. This is because obviously the Scottish are horrible at style <which explains the kilt> and thus don't deserve to pick their own colors. As for Wales, they were still completely ignored.
Finally, when Ireland joined, their flag was added in too (sort of), creating the Union Jack we all know to this day.
Of course, if Scotland would leave the UK, the latter would need a new flag yet again. I mean, it would be sort of rude to still claim your rule over a sovereign country in your flag, so yeah. Maybe symbolize the Scottish-English history by just leaving a border on the flag while keeping the inside blank?
The same thing goes for when Northern Ireland (the non-Northern part is already gone) would leave; more edits!
To make matters even more complicated, there are some votes going around for London going independent too. Considering they're pretty much the core of England, this is best symbolized be removing the middle cross too:
However, now we run into a problem: The flag is practically blank! We need more colors! What could we possibly add... AHA! There is one part left of Great Britain (more like Little Britain by now, really) that still has something!
And that is the start of Wales' conquest of the entire world.
She was torn apart over Civil War, not able to pick a side. She decided eventually, just to keep herself together, that they would get back together by the time Inifnity Wars was here, and she was just glad Cap didn't die like in the comics.
Ehhh... so... I know I said you could keep most things in the CS the same, but I wasn't trying to encourage just copy/pasting everything, seeing as how that just sort of feels... wrong? But, yeah, this CS is like 95% the same as the original, and I'm not sure I can really give that the go-ahead. I'd prefer it if you put things in your own words.Name: Avengers
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Avengers been around as a comic fandom since 1963, but it's only because of the 2012 movie that she has come into such prominence and wow, is she flattered. Most of the fans only know just about absolutely everything there is to know of the Avengers movie and she takes great pride that her actors are the best and most perfect castings for her characters. She likes to consider all of her characters, every single one of them as her dearest, darling babies. Well, the nice ones anyway. But with the topic of Loki, she just can't hate her fandom's villain. He provides her with the love for pranks and mischief; going so far as to shout "LOKI'D!" when she does. Which is often.
She is extremely charismatic and good natured though she can get quite egotistical and sassy. Avengers is bright and happy most of the time, a loud and boisterous fandom really. With the news about Infinity Wars coming out and so many more movies in the next few years, she just can't contain her excitement about more members and canon material.
Avengers has an old-fashioned appeal to her, both from her '63 beginnings and Steve Rogers. She just can't not be polite and fight for justice and honor. On the flip side, through all of that sepia and 1930s air to her, she is sarcastic and all about being a good hedonistic humanitarian.
She was torn apart over Civil War, not able to pick a side. She decided eventually, just to keep herself together, that they would get back together by the time Inifnity Wars was here, and she was just glad Cap didn't die like in the comics.
Abilities and Equipment:
- Myeuh-Muh. Oh, she's sorry. She meant Mjolnir. You know, the hammer forged from a dying star that only the worthy can wield? Yeah, that one's all for her and Thor. It comes with the power of lightning and the ability to shock people. It hangs at her side when she's not using it and, if it's not there, she can just reach her hand out to call for it.
- She loves her outfit, but when she needs to have "a rousing discussion on truth, honour, and patriotism" or be the leader
Gotham needs but doesn't deserve,she wears Captain America's spangly suit with Thor's cape and Nick Fury's eyepatch- Her vision is as sharp as a hawk's and she's not above references and puns.
- She's got an arc reactor in her chest and yeah, it is "proof that she has a heart." Her other Tony Stark/Iron Man memorabilia is the short height and rocket shoes.
- Loki's helmet doesn't do anything except look hella good and maybe poke someone's eye out. She will get very annoyed if you hang anything on it, so be warned.
- The Hulk fist shrinks and enlarges much like the real Hulk's except she can control it. It only applies to her one arm and, when it's not punching someone into the floor, it looks like a green glove.
- Home: She lives in the middle of Fandom Square in that really tall tower. And yeah, it seems gaudy and narcissistic but it's Avengers Tower. With the big A that has that little arrow and everything. The bottom floor looks perfectly normal except for that Loki shape hole in the floor that she hasn't really bothered to clean up. Oh well. Most of the floors above are labs, living areas, and various places where she just kind of dumps stuff inside without thought. It's not like she doesn't have the space for it. The top few floors is where the fun is at. There is a large table for meetings of the avenging, assembling kind in the center. JARVIS is installed (not really, it's just JARVIS the character but without all the cool tech) and much of the glass in the room can bring up holographic, 3D interfaces for fun. Avengers Tower is a luxurious place that she wishes less people could so easily get into because goddamn it, it's her house.
- Quirks:
Other:
- She keeps saying that she "has a Hulk" though there clearly isn't one around.
- Her hobbies are fighting evil, avenging stuff, and assembling. No, really. If she hears fandoms are gathering, she's going to go assemble too. And probably lead the assemble, if she can usurp the power from whoever was leading it.
- Avengers just can't stay away from things that are blue and shiny like arc reactors and tesseracts. She owns both and it's "Shiny! My precious..." all over again.
- Superheroes are the best heroes and the best superheroes are Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
- Everyone should eat some shwarma because it's delicious and her favorite food ever.
- Both a weakness and a strength, ice is just a bad topic in general.
- She loves classic rock, especially AC/DC and Guns N' Roses (but she really likes pretty much anything from the 70's and 80's). She will sing along, though it's not too good.
Her relationship with space and the otherworldly is a love-hate relationship because space does not like the arc reactor but it really loves the tesseract. Though not as well known, she does like her non-movie Avengers and Avengers-to-be and will reference them.
Ehhh... so... I know I said you could keep most things in the CS the same, but I wasn't trying to encourage just copy/pasting everything, seeing as how that just sort of feels... wrong? But, yeah, this CS is like 95% the same as the original, and I'm not sure I can really give that the go-ahead. I'd prefer it if you put things in your own words.
Besides, these CS's are usually a good litmus test to see if new members actually understand everything they should know about how this world works. There are a lot of common mistakes that I often see in the first drafts of CS's that allow me to catch big misunderstandings before they become a problem. It would be nice if you wrote all that yourself, so I could potentially catch anything I need to.
Also, your lists are formatted oddly in this. 'Home', 'quirks', etc are all bullet points listed under 'abilities and equipment', as opposed to being their own section... you might want to fix that.
I'll come back and look at the Minecraft CS a bit later.
Hah. I want to say that she and Steven Universe might have something in common here, but I'm not sure they'd really be on the same page if they ever started talking about 'diamonds'... XDShe is obsessed with diamonds, and is often exploring the most dangerous places to look for them. Is also caught talking about them a lot.
I feel like she and Doctor Who would have a lot to talk about.She had a crush on Quicksilver and refuses to acknowledge his death in public, feeling confident that he will be back. He has to! I mean, come on. This is Marvel. No one is ever truly dead.
I feel like she and Doctor Who would have a lot to talk about.
Anyway! This version looks good. I'll add it to the accepted list. ^^
