Other info:

Macros was born on Zoness where he lived a very short childhood with his family. When he was five years old he was kidnapped when he was literally mistaken for someone else. He was dropped off in the slums of Corneria several months later.

For several years, Macros was forced to scourge for food and find a new place to sleep each night. It had gotten to the point where he was forgetting where he came from, his family, his birthday, even his own name at time. He had several people looking for him at once, wanting to do away with him for just being around at the wrong times. He was finally found by a man named Getisha, who took him in.

Getisha was actually a highly revered fighter and bounty hunter. When Macros found this out, he demanded Getisha teach him everything he knew on how to be a bounty hunter and how to defend himself. At first Getisha refused, as Macros was only eight when he asked, but after months of persistent badgering, Getisha finally allowed Macros to start his training.

Macros was taken around the Lylat System, training on nearly every planet. On Fichina, he learned endurance against the cold, along with getting his footing in even the worst conditions. Fortuna, he learned how to use nature around him to make it both defense and offense. Aquas, he learned how to use the water to train his resistance, making him faster on land. Meteo, to fine tune his senses to any sudden changes in his surroundings. Titania, how to hide and make shelters for himself even when it seems nothing is available. On all these, he was also taught to hunt and fight. They traveled for two years, staying at least in each location long enough for Macros to perfect his training.

Macros did not go without the basic skills of reading and writing, mind you. Getisha taught him well on many languages in terms of speaking, writing, and reading.

When Getisha guessed Macros to be around thirteen, Getisha gave him his own personal weapon, a single Buster Blade. Luckily with the training, Macros' muscles were able to hold and lift up the blade. Getisha tested Macros with his own Buster Blade, forcing Macros to take mental notes on how Getisha used the blade, and how he himself would defend. It took several months for Macros to perfect using his blade. One day, Macros felt a sudden urge to turn the tables and challenge his teacher, which much to the dismay of Getisha, he still accepted. The battle lasted for several hours, until finally, Macros was finally able to disarm Getisha. His teacher was flabbergasted that it didn't take long for his pupil to learn so quickly, much less defeat him.

The day finally came, Macros was around sixteen, when Getisha felt he could no longer train Macros, as the pupil seemed to be surpassing the teacher several times over. As they prepared Macros' ship for departure, Getisha gave Macros a parting gift, the Buster Blade that Macros disarmed from its master. Macros honestly began to cry from this. Getisha also gave Macros another gift, one from the heart, he told Macros that not only had he looked at him as a student, but as a son he never had the chance to have, and that he was welcome to find him at anytime for advice or for a caring hand. Macros settled into his ship and the two parted ways for now.

Marcos' first destination was Corneria, where he had a few unsettled demons that he felt still held him back. He visited the slums he lived in for several years to, sure enough, find those who would have wanted to see him dead. When he told them who he was, it honestly took them awhile to realize who he was and their hatred for him. They came at him, and without even having to use his Buster Blades, he took them out. He felt a sudden pity on them as they laid before him, he only spoke a single sentence to them, "Just remember, don't threaten what you don't kill....you never know when they will come back, or what they will have learned...". With some of his inner demons gone for good, he decided to stick around Corneria for awhile, to start listening for any hear-say on bounties that needed to be brought in.

A year had passed, placing Macros around seventeen, he met someone who did something that only one other was able to do, get close to him. Trent, a german shepherd, began to show Macros something Getisha had forgotten, how to have fun in his life. Macros and Trent began to grow close. Soon, Macros found himself living with Trent. The German Shepherd's 'personal training' did not stop there, he showed Macros that it is possible to love someone. Macros could honestly say he only knew of one other time he felt loved in his life. Macros had allowed Trent into his heart as a permanent resident, the two even joke of marriage in their future.

Though one day, the demons from Macros' past were not finished with him. He returned home that day, only to find the place on fire. He quickly ran inside, knowing Trent had stayed home. The flames continued to lick at his feet as he quickly made his way through the house. Despite the heat, a sudden chill ran down his spine as he found Trent, laying on the floor next to a blood covered knife. As he reached the one he held dear to his heart, the ceiling above them began to collapse. Macros quickly raised his fore arms, blocking the burning wood from coming down. He held himself there, even as the flames burned his arms and feet, he could not allow it to fall. luckily, several minutes latter, the local fire department showed up, taking Trent out to safety, and helping Macros get from under the logs.

Macros passed out from smoke inhalation. He woke up several days later in the hospital, with Getisha waiting for his arrival back to the world. The pain surged through his body, emanating from his arms and feet, but he forced his mind to neglect his own suffering as he frantically began to ask how Trent was. A wave of depression his him as he learned from Getisha that Trent had not survived due to the amount of blood lose and smoke inhalation. Macros suddenly felt no need to go on with his life anymore, as he could no longer focus his mind to stop the pain from bothering him. Getisha grabbed Macros' hand forcefully and placed a small box into it making the single statement, "He was holding this...." before leaving the room. Macros opened the box, only to find a gold ring, with an engraving on the inside, "Love goes on forever." Macros passed out from both the pain he felt in his body, and the pain he felt in his heart.

Macros awoke several hours later with a nurse checking over his vitals. He noticed the T.V. was on and watched as CHN made a bulletin that four bodies were found completely mutilated in the slums. Macros did not care that he didn't get to them first, but felt that his family helped him with his demons.

When he was finally discharged, he walked out, feeling the rays of the sun hit him gently. He opened the box that Getisha had given him that Trent was holding. He took one final look at the ring, before taking it out, and placing it on his left ring finger. He made a promise that day, to Trent, Getisha, and to himself, that for as long as he lived, he would not allow another innocent to even be hurt under his watch.

After that day, he has had trouble finding Getisha, understanding that he was probably in hiding for the murder of four gang members. He still searches, hoping to thank him in person for helping him exercising his demons, and in knowing that Trent truly loved him.

It took some time, but Macros finally set off for the places he trained on as a child, taking longer to make sure he truly had them down as to keep his promise.

Three years later, he has gotten back into the game of bounty hunting. People know him for two things, the two Buster Blades he wields, and the golden shimmer of the ring on his left hand.

[Fluxy]

Other info:

He was thirty years old when the Aparoids invaded Corneria. He had it all, a loving wife, two beautiful children, the basic 'white picket fence' dream that every man strives for. When the Aparoids began their bombardment on Corneria, the small city he lived in was one of the first few attacked and decimated. He was barely alive when the Aparoids that had landed on the planet began to assimilate his body.

During the process, the StarFox Team had ridden Corneria of the Aparoids, allowing him to be rescued. With the implants having taken so much of his system that removing them would permanently damage him for life, they seen only one possible outcome. Merge their own technology with the Aparoids to where he had at least some self control.

For the first few months after surgery, Reggi had no recollection of anything, even his own life. After some time, he began to recall the horrors of the attack from the Aparoids, and what they had done to him. When he received the news of his wife and children, he grew even more angry. He attacked several of the doctors within range, angered that they fought so hard to keep him alive, when he had lost everything he had to live for.

For the next couple of years, it was hard for Reggi, not only trying to get to know his new body with the implants, but having to deal with the pain of having everything taken from him. Several times he had tried taking his own life, wanting to be with those he loved.

After some time, he became a total loner, both by choice and forced. A lot of the society of Corneria seen him as an absolute freak of nature, as well as a constant reminder of the trials from the Aparoids. He left Corneria, trying to find some meaning in his life to keep him going.

After some time, he met a female wolf by the name of Eshtrem, who had also gotten caught in the Aparoid invasion. Her injuries at the time were far less sever, but her left arm and leg were replaced with Automail. They decided to stick together, being as they were both considered outcasts.

They were soon approached by some hot shot and hot headed cadet by the name of Javin. They fought him off, but he sooner or later came back. Finally, after several encounters, Reggi and Eshtrem nearly killed Javin, but Reggi showed the young wolf some compassion, which soon changed Javin's views on the two. After some time, Javin came up with the idea for the group to become a Cargo Carrying crew, letting Reggi come up with the name of the ship.

While traveling, the three came across an attacked ship. When they went to investigate, they found no life signs, except one. A small female fox had been left alone in stasis. They found a way to free her, and quickly took the girl in. She sadly had no name to give them except "E-4925". Reggi gave her the name, Mestrilian. They soon found that even though they guessed her age to be around fourteen, she was showing a massive talent for computers. She is even better at hacking then Reggi will ever be.

The four now travel the Lylat System together as a crew, carrying cargo..........for the right price.

Training/Specialties/Skills: Fighting, translation, tactical

Special Markings: Other then her Automail, she has a Tattoo on her right arm from her former pirate days

Personality: seductive at times, and usually the suspicion of troublemaking

Other info:

Eshtrem was born on Aquas. She was the daughter of a very rich family, which she hated everyday of her life because of it. She wanted more out of life then to be pampered and taken care of, she thrived for independence.

When she was finally sixteen, she ran away from home, and stowed away on a ship heading for Corneria. She tried several jobs including desk clerk, nurse, she even tried being a substitute teacher, but they all fell through in the end.

There was something she was still missing in her life, something that she had not found yet to help her with her escaping. She met a rouge group of people, finding out quickly through their boasting of their raids.

She fought the Captain of the group, winning her hand to becoming part of the crew. She was not given any special treatment because she was the only woman, sad to say, she had gotten harassed when she first joined. After some series of asswhooping, the crew stopped trying to take advantage of her.

That is when the Aparoid invasion began. They were on Titania when it started. The Ship and Crew were lost, except for her. Half of her body was crushed under a large chunk of the ship, pinning her to the ground. During the aftermath, she was found, nearly bleeding out to death. To free her, they had to sever her left arm and leg.

She awoke in the hospital, finding that she had already gone through the automail surgery. There was a letter next to her bed, waiting for her to open it. Once she did she started crying, the letter was from her family. She found that they had her followed, to keep an eye out for her. She cried when she read the part that no matter what, they were still proud of her for choosing her own destiny.

After weeks of intensive training, she is now able to use her Automail as if they were her real arm and leg. She decided to travel, now with the Aparoids gone.

While trying to pick up a few boys at a local bar, she met the strangest fox she ever laid eyes upon. While trying to get to know him, she found his name to be Reggi. She found him extremely attractive, and really liked to play hard-to-get. After some time she gave up, and actually took the time to get to know the guy.

While traveling, Reggi finally opened up about his past, and what he really was today. It took her awhile to get used to that little fact of him being a cyborg, but her trust for him never wavered.

When they met Javin, she was a little taken back that out of all the time Reggi and her fought the bastard, Reggi still helped him. After some time she has grown to trust Javin as well.

Even with a willing male in the group, she still finds herself very much attracted to Reggi. She will never tell him, but it is because of his nature and her trust for him that makes her have those feelings for him.

As soon as Mestrilian entered the picture, she could tell Reggi's paternal instincts were kicking in. She finds him even more attractive in this father type role, but will also never admit she is slightly jealous of Mestrilian for taking a lot of Reggi's time away from Eshtrem.

Other info:

When Javin was young, he always had dreams of joining the Cornerian Defense Fleet. Through Elementary and Middle school, he was the blunt of every joke. When he reached High school, he made sure it changed. It was in the middle of lunch hour, when one of his former bullies came up and started giving him crap, Javin beat the living day lights out of him.

Javin nearly got kicked out of school and nearly lost his chance to get into the Academy after graduating. But luckily, a teacher had seen what happened and fought for him.

When Javin graduated, he immediately, went for the academy. He knew the odds were against him, but he still had to try. After several years, he finally graduated from the Academy as both a Fighter Pilot and a mechanic. He joined the Defense Fleet shortly after taking a break.

While in the Fleet, the Aparoids appeared. He was stationed at the Orbital Gate. He somehow survived against the invasion. He was restationed back on Corneria soil, he decided to take up the Mechanics part of his career.

While visiting a local bar however, he ran into two interesting individuals. He learned their names to be Reggi and Eshtrem. He recognized Eshtrem's name from reading an incident report involving a group of space pirates. So he 'tried' to be nice and get close to her to arrest her later. He didn't know much about Reggi, but figured he could take the old fox.

When he went to arrest her, however, Reggi got into the way. Javin and Reggi fought, which Javin could have sworn he laid in a few good punches, but they did not seem to have much of an effect on Reggi. After getting beaten down, he swore he found bring her in for her crimes.

He pursued them night and day, losing them every once in awhile, but when he had their 'scent' he followed it like a bat out of hell.

Though, one time he fought them, he nearly lost his life. They were fighting on one of the cliffs of Titania. He fought his hardest, but somehow Reggi and Eshtrem got the best of him and knocked him off the edge. He held on, quickly losing his grip. Just as his fingers slipped he was caught, he glanced up to find Reggi taking hold of him. With the help of Eshtrem, the two were able to pull Javin back up. After a long and serious talk, he decided to join their little party.

After some time, he started noticing himself becoming shy around Eshtrem, to the point where if she spoke, he blushed. He began to realize that when she spoke, his heart would either jump, or stop all together. He is afraid to tell her or Reggi of such feelings. Even though he tries to hide it, he gets the feeling they already know.

He then noticed that while traveling, the groups funds were starting to diminish. He suddenly came up with an idea that was foolproof, but then again, these are three fools we are talking about. He suggested that they run Cargo, including the 'special' kind that if caught, it would have dire consequences. When the group agreed, he was able to buy a ship with some of his funds, allowing Reggi to name it as thanks for saving his life.

When Mestrilian arrived, he tried to do the same as Reggi had done by making her feel as if she was in a family, by playing the older brother role. He cares for her like a older brother would, and in some fights, has referred to her as thing like, "sissi" or "my sister".

Personality: Shy to one that is not part of the Ca' Re' Em crew

Other info:

Mestrilian is haunted by 'dreams' of the place where she was 'born'. She remembers so little about her past. She remembers, when she first woke up, looking around, seeing strange parts around her body, connected to it. She remembers hearing the words, "E-4925" and "Computer Mind" when anyone was referring to her. She kept falling in and out of sleep during this entire process.

After a few months, she was able to stay up longer and longer. Soon she was even able to walk, and start talking to people, yet, she could not understand why, as she has only seen this world long enough to see the horrors she has today.

The people around her still referred to her as "E-4925" so she took that as her 'name'. She was soon introduced to other children around her 'age'. She met a young boy right away, his name was "E-4918". She soon found out, that all the children were names "E-" something or another.

She soon began to question her own existence, wondering why she was 'born'. During one of her classes, she watched as several of the other students began to be 'connected' to computer by a cable connected to the back of the child's neck. She noticed her friend, "E-4918" resisting for some reason. The teachers pressed a rod against his body, and soon he went limp.

At the end of class that day, she tried finding "E-4918" after class, but could not find him. She asked one of the teachers what had happened to him. The teacher looked down and inquired that she had never heard that serial number before. 'E-4925' began to wonder if he was ever really real.

Months had passed, and it was the same training everyday, how to unlock this, how to break through that. She had also noticed that several other of the student starting to disappear from class and what seemed to be existence all together.

Finally, a teacher came up to her and stated, ""E-4925", you have been selected to help in the upcoming Military training...." The little girl honestly did not know what to feel. In the short time she had been alive, she had already learned that the words 'military' and 'training'.....lead to 'war' and 'death'. That night she went back into her room, crying the entire time.

When she got into the ship, she was told she would go into stasis, which from classes, she knew it meant to sleep. She was then 'connected' able to see everything going on while in stasis. She watched as a group of pirates or something came and attacked the ship they were on. She activated the distress signal.

After several months, she detected the presence of three other life forms. The former crew either, kidnapped, dead, or fled, she honestly had no defenses against those aboard. She felt the leader of the group starting to try to break the code to let her out, which was something denied to her by her former people.

When she was freed, the first person to hold her, in his arms, making her feel slightly better, was a man named Reggi. She felt something else from this person, something that made them almost alike. She smiled, for the first time in what seemed like ages. She told them her 'name', and they seemed to frown at it.

The one who introduced himself as Reggi, then asked if the name Mestrilian would be better. She jumped at the opportunity and loved it. She now lives with the three, Reggi, Eshtrem, and Javin.

Over time, she began to enjoy using computers again, even 'connecting' them. When Reggi and the rest found out, they were dumbfounded, but when the time came up to talk about it, Reggi asked if she would like to use her abilities, and didn't tell her to do anything.

She looksup to Reggi like a father, Eshtrem and Javin like an older sister and brother, and the Ca' Re' Em as her mother, as she can feel some emotion inside the heart of the ship.

......wow.......epic win.......(stunned)........four in one post........ You have a lot of time! The art work was exelent.

[Kid_Cortet]

I have an honest total of 35 forum characters all together................art is not mine (I wish it was lol)

[Salem]

Well it is still a nice find. :)

[Kid_Cortet]

Thanks ^^

[Drasiana]

Quick concern. Do you actually have permission to be using this art that you claim to be your characters...?

[ZM Anonymous]

I think there needs to be a thread for people to request their RP characters drawn for them by the talented SF-O Artist community. It would help with the artists of SF-O, get them out of legal trouble, and ramp up some really good amounts of activity in the Fanart section. If only some artists would be on board with this

[Asper Sarnoff]

9. Please respect copyrights and ensure that you have permission to post the image or video on forums or the the post constitutes fair use.

The keyword here is fair use. I chose to interpret it as such that in the case of RP character creation, and you want to use a third party's artwork as an unedited illustration to give the reader a view of what your character looks like, then you are free to do that, as long as you link back to the webpage you originally found it on. And while I'd strongly advice to ask for permission before posting it up, I'm not going to strictly enforce people to do so.

So in Kid's case here. I'd be satisfied if he:

A: Have permission from the artist(s) to post here.

and/or

B: Posts links back to their DA/FA/blog/whatever page, effectively giving the artist free advertising.

As a final footnote, actual editing in any way of the original image without the artists permission is an entirely different and more serious thing.

[Kid_Cortet]

-sighs- random attacks, fine, I'll play.

Asper, I do thank you for your words, but in truth, I CANNOT give links to certain pictures, here is why.

Macros' and Harmona's pics came from photobucket, and we should all know how "reliable" that site is for "original art" when 20 or more people have the same pic.

Toby, Scott, Reggi, Eshtrem, Javin, and E:4925 all came from a site that mainly deals with sexual content, and I honestly don't think the mods would be too appreciative if I had given a link to such site. If the mods wish, (after PMing of course) I'll pm the names of such artists.

Vance's (and my avi) is a picture I randomly found years ago, shortly after I left sf-o five years ago. And it is a cropped picture I will admit, though the deleted area is nothing more then paint sprites about the gear you can see on him.

Icarus' photo I got back when I was chat rping, I asked the person if it was his and he told me no, when I asked if he knew the original artist, he AGAIN said no.

Colin's (as well as a few of Scott's pics) came from a comic, again, one with sexual content. Plus I highly doubt everyone would want me to post and entire comic page to show ONE character.

I am sorry I don't use my own drawings, as if you look at my art topic, I am not the best artist, and I personally cannot ask someone to draw me a pic.

If you actually look through this topic, you will find once or twice, I mentioned that the art was not mine.

If we are wanting to get onto the topic of use of pics, why are avatars and signatures not being targeted as well, as I know of only a few members that actually use their own stuff.

I remember a time when people laughed about how good a picture was, saying things like "awesome FIND" and making the asking of a pic's creator the start of a conversation and possible friendship. Can we get back to that?

And I am sorry I have not given names to my art, reasons above, but can this end? Please? As it has already caused a good friend of mine to fully leave the internet?

[Drasiana]

As an artist, I would hate some dude on the internet taking a drawing of my character and saying "look, this is my RP character", even as just a reference. It's not a random attack, it's concern for not only the law, but for maintaining integrity and respect for the artists. There's nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from places, but please, don't try to explain yourself away. These are not your characters and to even imply they could be is encroaching on intellectual property. It isn't something that's up for debate. It's plagiarism, whether or not that's your intention. I doubt it is, but it's easy to be an art thief without intending to be. This isn't about "attacking" you, it's about helping you be safe.

Well as for the "guy on your Avi", that's the Original Character "Rico Sakara" of an Artist called "CaptRicoSakara" who can be found on DeviantArt... And he drew that picture back in 2007.

And also it's not an EXCUSE just because you're "not a great Artist" - NO ONE of us Artists with higher experiences than you have were "gods of the pencil" for the first time we drew a picture, please spare me this "excuse", I'm getting tired of it. Get up and practise, practise, practise! That's the ONLY key of getting better. Using pictures of other people or taking the basic designs of Original Characters which belong to someone isn't the right way of making a character interesting, it's not even a bit original at all. You can use the poses as a reference, but you should try to work out the whole character concept by yourself to make him look interesting and unique. Getting some inspiration - OK, copying something of the design - No good.

If you really don't know how you should create a character, then you should try to contact those Users of the Forum that have enough experiences so they can help you out for a character design, clothes, weapons etc etc., but you shouldn't ask about everything everytime - This won't help you getting creative by yourself. It takes alot of time to create something that no one has, but once you gain the experience you'll be fine.

Building off this, a picture isn't a necessity, but a bonus. A good physical description is all you need, really, and anyone who is good enough to roleplay decently can pull that off.

Bah, People aren't perfect in creating characters nor in physical description all the time nor good enough to roleplay. Like I wouldn't know what's more important, I'm playing RP's like 6 ~ 7 years now, still most people do have problems to describe a character so people can imagine his/her design. Of course picture's aren't the most important thing, also I haven't even said ANYTHING in my posting about it. I just said he can ASK for help if he plans to create a character and someone should draw it for him or helps him with the design. Geez, start reading my posts more carefully.

Herp random hostility on a good and legit point coinciding with your own. Maybe you missed the part where my post was directed at Kid as some advice and ja, seeing as roleplaying is essentially group writing, WRITING a description should fit right into their forte. Even then, it doesn't have to be super perfect as in literary works, the reader gets his or her own idea of the character based off just a few details. Not like it's hard.

So, Kid, whether or not you want to continue to play the victim despite "your friend" having stolen and edited art by SFO members themselves, you ARE breaking the rules of the forum and the law. "But I can't draw myself" is not a valid excuse, especially when roleplaying is an entirely literary medium. Again, have consideration for the artists and if you can't get permission or credit do not do it at all. It's not even up for debate.
