why thank you oh so very much. without your statement, I would never have realized that. :rolleyes:
And your's added so much too, Aku. Thanks. :rolleyes:

It appears I've made a post here... I wouldn't want it to be spam, so... I'll do my Sock puppet's profile

Name: Lord Thistlewick Sockington III (Socky)
Age: Lovingly stitched together July 23rd 2004, so 2
Gender: Male
Appearance: White sock, red button-eyes (white stitching), single blue and white stripes around base. Burning.
Background: BK has lot's of socks. In fact he has the largest sock collection in the world, and that includes 'SOCK WORLD''s warehouse. So why was this particular sock chosen? I'll tell you why. BK had opened his sock delivery crate (delivered by airmail, as all good worm packages are) to find that this particular package did not come under the heading of 'All good worm packages'. No. It was rather closer to the heading of 'Hang on a minute, someone's nicked me other sock!'.
'Hang on a minute, someone's nicked me other sock!', said BuffaloKid.
The next day he went to ask for a refund, but this was refused on the grounds that he didn't have the full pair to return. After a fairly heated argument ('Give me a refund!' 'No' 'ok, sorry to take up your time') BK begrudgedly returned home and began work on turning this pairless sock into a puppet, seeing as how he had no use for a single sock (Retrospectively, of course, it was, in fact, not a problem at all. He has a tail. That can use a single sock).
And thus, BK had a sock puppet. A slightly boring one, but a sock puppet nonetheless.
Then came the war. As this is documented in BK's original background, I'll just bullet point what happened:
War declared
Army formed
BK leads a unit
Wears his sock puppet to war
Soldiers laugh at socky
One soldier (whom I thoroughly suspect was, in fact, Plasma) sets fire to socky
Socky does not turn to ash
Instead, he turns towards the laughing unit and emits a green energy beam at them
Unit --> Dodo-like
BK becomes evil

Socky later goes on to find a girlfriend by the name of *insert name here*. She has large breasts made of ping-pong balls, which socky swears are "nothing to do with his choice whatsoever. No. Never"

Likes: Fire, BK, *Insert name Here*, Ignate, red, slippers
Dislikes: Plasma, mechanical hands, Polyester Plasma, and of course lettuce.

Other Stuff: Can hover, as can BuffaloKid.

Plasma

Polyester Plasma
Then why do you still have that, anyway?

Other Stuff: Can hover, as can BuffaloKid.
I thought your sock was held up by your hand?

Then why do you still have that, anyway?

I thought your sock was held up by your hand?
I still have it for socky to use as a punchbag.
And he is held up by my hand, but what's to say that he can't hover but he's just too lazy to do so? Nothing.
What Maveristef said I either don't understand, or else it's just generally unfunny.

I never meant it to be funny. But I meant is that you can imagine yourself with a hovering sock puppet even though it is being held up by you hand...:p

E-102 Worm

23 Aug 2006, 19:26

Profile updated. Check link below.

robowurmz

29 Aug 2006, 18:46

Name: Wormbot Series Model E-10F (Codename: Robowurmz)
Age: Manufactured 3rd January 2005
Gender: He's a robot, but you could say he's male.
Bio: E-10F is the only battle worm robot in his series, as the scientists developing him realised that his AI system would be too powerful. They were worried that on the front line, he would decide to disobey orders, go back to camp, and watch TV. So they threw him into the reject box, which was then dumped at a local scrapyard. Then, E-10F was bought by a local inventor, who needed his AI system for a mind reading toaster, capable of making the perfect slice of toast. So he put E-10F in the boot of his car, and headed for home. Inside the box, an old spring for the toaster flicked E-10F's on/off switch. E-10F activated,climbed out of the box and jumped through the boot window. Before the inventor could stop the car, E-10F made for a city across the country, using the co-ordinates in his built in GPS. He finally made it, and spent his days hidden and watching other worms go about their business. He collected enough visual data to modify his look, and he looked almost like an ordinary worm. Almost. Once he achieved this, he came out of hiding and rented a house, after first getting a job delivering newspapers. He made some friends, (and enemies), and continues to dwell where he is. He is happy, or so his emotions centre tells him.
Likes: Food (the scientists developed a system capable of breaking down chemicals and minerals to make energy. That way, he would never get run down. They also developed taste buds, which linked to a memory bank, allowing him to learn new tastes, and experience old ones.), What Robot? magazine.
Dislikes: Not much really. Mushrooms. Cheese. Cabbage. They all have low energy levels in them.
Fave colour: None. He finds all colours aesthetically pleasing.
Weapons: Hands, Eyes. Built into both are the Ashinator 2500-E MK II (capable of 3500 VPM ((Vapourisations Per Minute)) ).
Appearance He has two metal plates at the back of his head, and a sectioned metal tail. Pictures were OLD.

not a bit too much E-102 like?

Oh and his hand looks melted.

not a bit too much E-102 like?

This number is purely a robotic series code. Nothing to do with food whatsoever. If you read his bio, he looks ALMOST like a real worm. There will be diffrences like this one from time to time.

Isn't E102 an E-number? Like the one Captain Birdseye says 'Not in my food' about?E-102 Gamma is the name of one of the playable characters in Sonic Adventure. As with most robotic characters, he gets a good proportion of the best lines...

Thank you. Know I know what your HAND looks like. :p

maveristef

30 Aug 2006, 16:30

Okay, guys I’ve decided to make up a profile, again.

Name: Mav

Age: Mav’s age is unknown; the reason behind this is that he never tells anyone his age. But everyone is absolutely sure that he is a youth of some sort.

Gender: Male (Or maybe that is what Mav would like us to think, but that is another story)

Appearance: Mav has a dark grey bandana with a picture resembling a skull on the front of it. Sometimes he wears his eye patch, but not because his right eye lacks good vision, but because it makes him feel more like an evil pirate. Let’s not forget his orangey-yellow scimitar-cutlass-sword thingy, it is his most prized possession which he carries everywhere regardless of the situation he’s in.

Personality: So Mav is a pirate. Yes? No, he is the exact opposite of an evil pillaging pirate. He is a good hearted worm that cannot resist rescuing kittens from trees. But he really wants to be evil, so he can fit in with all the other villainous worms. No matter how hopeless it seems that he will be truly evil one day, Mav will never accept that he is kind hearted. Which brings us to another point, even though Mav is very nice and generous, he can be stubborn, obnoxious, boisterous, lazy, and idiotic at times.

Background: Mav was raised be his father, whom was a truly evil worm. But the evil pirate could not have some babyish son mixing up his evil schemes. He had to do something. One misty and foggy evening, two wormlike figures emerged from the darkness. It was the borders between land and sea. In the sea Mav’s father’s proud ship was docked and ready to sail out to the edge of the world, to go where no worm had ventured before. But on the docks the two worms, Mav and his father, shared their last goodbyes before the father boarded his ship, The Fogsweeper, and left his son forever to make a life of his own.

Weapon of Choice: His orange cutlass.

Likes: Kittens, Xbox, Playstation, Pc, Tea, Girls (Even though he does not show too much interest), electric guitar, piano, and pizza pops.

Dislikes: Cute little creatures getting hurt. English Muffins, Sarcasm (He just doesn’t like it when people use it a lot *Points at Akuryou* But that does not mean he thinks of Akuryou as an enemy),

Gardy Looo

30 Aug 2006, 16:40

Girls (Even though he does not show too much interest)

Now you'll suffer under the same fate as I had. :p

BuffaloKid

31 Aug 2006, 01:52

Now you'll suffer under the same fate as I had. :p

No, he just sounds like he's very private about his taste for girls... There are many things this could mean, I won't go into them though

Akuryou13

31 Aug 2006, 02:35

Now you'll suffer under the same fate as I had. :pnot true. you made it sound like you were gay, he's just saying he's not all that interested in girls atm. that's fine :p

Gender: Male (Or maybe that is what Mav would like us to think, but that is another story) that may be the single most disturbing thing ever!

Personality: So Mav is a pirate. Yes? No, he is the exact opposite of an evil pillaging pirate. He is a good hearted worm that cannot resist rescuing kittens from trees. But he really wants to be evil, so he can fit in with all the other villainous worms. No matter how hopeless it seems that he will be truly evil one day, Mav will never accept that he is kind hearted. Which brings us to another point, even though Mav is very nice and generous, he can be stubborn, obnoxious, boisterous, lazy, and idiotic at times.lol! that may be the greatest thing ever :p awesome idea.

Dislikes: Sarcasm (He jus doesn’t like it when people use it a lot *Points at Akuryou*),YAY! I have an enemy! :D :p

31 Aug 2006, 17:19

(He just doesn’t like it when people use it a lot *Points at Akuryou* But that does not mean he thinks of Akuryou as an enemy),

>DoomWorm<

5 Sep 2006, 16:14

Name: Daniel. In some places a pretty decent name, Aye? :) Also called Sound. (for those who do not know his name only.)

Age: 15

Gender: Male. Yeah.

Appearance: A worm with headphones slightly tilted backwards, and blond hair (and eyes) with dark brown dyed tips. (except this does not apply to eyes :) )

Personality: A caring person, nice, but lazy, sometimes sarcastic, and when something his mind is thinking about, like he's getting new clothes, and he just wants THAT pair of jeans, no-one can change his mind (dunno what it's called)and he often does stupid and cowardly things. And tends to not listen as he often hears his music. Bad habits.

Various info: I chose to not write a BIG LONG background for him as he had a normal life, until his relatives was kidnapped (Not killed, oh so original i am :O) But he sort of invented a special device that he sets/implants in his hands with a small speaker, attached with a cord to the headphones. This makes his special power. What he hears in his headphones come out of the speakers, and the bass and such makes shockwaves. If he had one of those techno songs playing with 1200 beats per minute, the enemy would get owned.

Weapon of Choice: His small sound speakers. YEP.

Likes: Girls, chicks, babes. Yes, like Slick. Just without the Pick-up lines. :) He also loves kittens and his headphones. And Breakdancing.

Dislikes: People who mistreat kitties, and all other animals. Mostly kitties though. He also hates when his dyed hair isn't.... well dyed anymore, when there's no more color left. So he has to invent some dye that sits thre forever. (He invents things like Paul.Power, but he is not as good. Oh, praise the almighty Paul.)

Flash crashed some times now, And that sucks. So, for now no piccie :D

Ooh, I HAVE to edit that old post with my sigworm in it with something a little....more better. I hate that developing art...

Jonneh

30 Sep 2006, 02:39

Name: Jonneh

Gender: Puts the "Man" in "Manly"

Appearance:

(Meh picture made in Flash in about 4 minutes, i'll get a better one up tommorow)

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/8900/untitled1dg6.gif

Background: Born in Netanya, Israel (find a map); in a classic, poverty infested neighborhood, Jonneh was always the leader of his pack of savage, mutated posse. Always calm and positive, Jonneh would rarely get into fights, but when he did, his enemies always regretted their choice.

Jonneh would get good grades in school, but would always be one of those popular kids who permanently looked ready for a photoshoot with some big fashion model agency thingy.

The kind of guy (or worm) that all the girls want, and all the guys want to be, Jonneh would never brag about his saliva inducing traits or make fun of those less fortunate.

Jonneh's trademark airforce glasses rarely come off, and he always keeps his 5 o'clock shadow unshaved. (is it 5 o'clock or 1 o'clock, i'm pretty sure it's 5...)

In short, Don't mess with Jonneh, and all will be well.

Personality: Always positive, but extremely sarchastic in even the toughest situations. Has the superstar look, but hates the attention that comes with it. Is always smoking something, legal or illegal he must have tar slowly infesting his lungs or he feels incomplete.

Very calm, and kind of slow to things.

For example:

Guy: Jonneh were about to fall into a ^&$#^& 700 foot deep active volcano if we don't do something soon!!!

Jonneh: Oh, umm..

Guy: UMM WHAT!?

Jonneh: We better do something huh.

Guy: *sighs* $#%^ it. *jumps into volcano voulantarily*

Jonneh: Oh heres an escape rou-- dude?

Weapon of Choice: His jet black zippo and a can of flammable substances. (Axe Deoderant flamethrower anyone?)

Likes: Everything excites him. Even sand buffered piggy banks make him smile. Kind of like a guy on weed (guess that belongs in personality... oh wellz.)

Nickname : _Kilburn ( don't forget the "_" )

Appearance :
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/1030/ssdtz6.png

Background : <insert background here>

Personnality : Serious when he has some nasty weapon ideas, incredibly crazy and stupid when he is bored. It also seems that nearly nobody likes his sense of humour, except himself. He is very clumsy in almost everything, except when building weapons.

Likes : building overpowered weapons, C3H5(NO3)3, computer programming, getting in trouble...
Dislikes : conventional weapons, potatoes, mingebags, cats

Weapon of choice : SAUSAGE CANNON MK-II LOLOLOLOLOLOLROTFLMAO69.
Also, toilet catapult, Cillit Kaboom, and turd-on-a-stick launcher.

I'd be pleased to see this character in a comic. :p Sorry for the background, I don't have any idea now, I'll add it later.

SuperBlob

11 Nov 2006, 12:22

but when he gets crazy, he usually builds stupid and useless things (look at my sausage launcher! :eek: )

SAUSAGE LAUNCHER USELESS??! *dies*

SAUSAGE LAUNCHER USELESS??! *dies*It's not useless.. it's the perfect weapon versus blobby here :rolleyes:

13 Nov 2006, 20:31

Given the Worms series has weapons involving bananas, sheep and carpets, a sausage launcher has every right to be as good a Worms weapon as any other.

Provided they're explosive sausages, anyway. Ordinary ones wouldn't pose such a threat.

Pigbuster

Oh, and it should become another worm after a turn, too, and probably shoot bowling balls in some way.

Melon

25 Nov 2006, 13:15

Walter Melon
Known to most as Melon, Walter Melon is the greatest detective for miles around. However, this is exclusively due to the fact that he's the ONLY detective for miles around. In fact, he's absolutely useless. He's never even won a game of Cluedo. Due to the lack of competition, he always gets a lot of detective work, and has actually solved most cases. (Of course, whether or not the right person was actually jailed is besides the point).

Melon is VERY outspoken. Rarely does he listen to other people, and always thinks he's right. He normally comes up with crazy solutions to his cases because, according to him, "The solution is never what you expect!". He's always wrong.

He is never found to be without his trusty 'deerstalker' hat, and mostly seen with his pipe. The pipe blows bubbles, not smoke, because Melon never wanted to give up smoking, but soap was cheaper than tabacco.

Duran Durian
Duran works part-time for Melon as his assistant. Unlike Melon, he is actually a competent detective, but his efforts usually go ignored by Melon. In fact, Duran has managed to solve many a case entirely on his own, but normally Melon happens to get all the glory. It has been suggested to him many times that he would do better working on his own, but the natural instinct that lemmings have to get them to follow somebody else is just too strong...

Duran is usually quiet. In fact, he's quite the opposite to Melon. However, he does have a tendency to always argue over what he believes to be right. This can cause conflict between himself and Melon, but it's usually short lived.

He may look like other lemmings, but can be distinguished form the others due to his spiky hair and incredibly small hat.

Together, they make up the formidible crime-solving team of Melon and Durian inc.

Thank you. I hoped a detective hadn't already been done. Anyway, I can't really see them being a part of anybodies comic, but my own comic.... well, you'll have to wait until I come up with something funny. And learn to draw better.

Metal Alex

16 Dec 2006, 22:40

Name: Alex

Bio:
Alex was a human (yeah! human!) that was bored in his house and decided to infiltrate into a high security cientific facility. He got in by acting as a security guy, saying that he lost his uniform, and asking for help. He not only made them help him, and even making friends, but also made a superior to improve his payment (which didn't actually exist), because "he was nice". Then, he went to random places, until he got to a strange room with a white orb.

-"cool!!" he said before touching it... then, it all bacame black for an instant.

When he woke up, he was still there, but the orb was gone. Then, he saw his hands: one was glowing in blue, and the other in yellow. He tried to get rid of the glow, by shaking his hands, making it be trown at a wall, then same with the other, but on the opposite one. Then, he looked through the one with the yellow aura... THERE WAS ANOTHER ROOM THERE!!! And oddly, there was somebody there. He jumped through the "hole" to tell him whatever excuse he could, but that guy was going through another hole. he folowed him, only to realise... that guy ws himself, and those... were portals... He even managed to close them at his will.

Then, he realised:

-CRAP!! I gave my name to that superior... I shouldn't have had those cups before coming...

So he did what his common sense along with some alcohol would do: Start pressing random buttons on a machine in that room. Then, with a final punch, he got a shock, and a green shaped portal appeared bellow him. When he landed and recovered consciousness, he realised one strange thing... he had lost his legs... he had his hands hovering in front of him... he was a worm now.

As the time passed, he tried to get back to his dimension, but in the meantime, he managed to create a team (Alex Team).

Appeareance (human): Brown hair, brown pupils, and 3-day beard. He wears jeans, along with a hooded jacket, and a black backpack, hanging like the attachment shows.

Appeareance (worm): Green and black headband, that black backpack, roping gloves (like those punk ones from W4), and two red lines at each side of his face.

Personality:
-Rather crazy. Aproximately. He sometimes chances the conversation subject without any reason. Anyways, friendly.
-Agile,
-He has his choice for potatoes. If fried, better.
-He likes to experiment. Don't show him buttons or levers.
-He is afraid of cuts. Papercuts being a nightmare.

Weapon of choice:
-His portals, and a weapon created by him: the "Anchor shot", which shots an anchor, tied to himself, which sends both flying.

Likes:
-POTATOES.
-climbing, jumping, etc...

Dislikes:
-Cuts.
-Mosquitoes.

Name: Muscular Worm
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male

[IMAGES]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b381/Bananenworst/MWDANCE.png
Isn't it Boogietastic?

[BACKGROUND]
Muscular Worm was once a normal Worm who's name I may not say... because of the secret-ness... When Muscular Worm was a normal worm, he always wanted to be a super hero, he ran around with his underwear on his head... (yes, worms apperantly have underwear). He also loved to play super villian, he once held his whole neighboorhood hostage. Because of this, and his lack of intelligence he got kicked off school. The teachers got mad because of him. Two years after he got kicked off school, his parents got killed in an tragic accident in the merry-go-round. Due to his parents' death he got crazy and his brain exploded. So he got even more stupid and really wanted to be a super hero. So that's what he did (tried), and became who he is now.

[PERSONALITY]
Muscular Worm ain't smart, not smart at all. He does crazy things like eating from a parkbench, and telling the bench it's evil.
He thinks everyone is a Villain exept for the people he likes.

[WEAPON OF CHOICE]
Uhm, well... Muscular Worm doesn't really have a weapon, but in his own imaginary world: Hero-ish X-ray of doom!

[LIKES]
Food: Doughnuts.
Drink: Fristi...
Music: 20 y/o Disco and Christmas songs.
Movies: Cartoons.

[DISLIKES]
- Rival: Baron Bad Worm
- Peanuts
- Toes

Quote: "Muscular Worm! Whoosh!"
Quote²: "Feel the power of the HERO-ISH X-RAY OF DOOM *wiuwiuwiuwiuw*."

Yes, that'll be it.

oh god! that is possibly the most perfect sigworm ever created! :D awesome job!

Zero72

18 Dec 2006, 06:02

I obviously cannot let you get away with this.

Name: "Baron Bad Worm"
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Nationality: Unknown

Background/Personality:Only recently sighted is a Worm dressed in some gaudy supervillain costume, prancing around and raving incoherently about "terrible, evil things." Most consider him harmless despite his psychosis, although there have been reports of stolen sandwiches that see him as the prime suspect. He has kept his identity fiercely concealed via his costume, which was made with a fairly professional edge, but has not been linked to any existing costume shop. He speaks in a typical overdramatic supervillain voice, with an obviously faked accent which is probably supposed to be English, and with just a touch of Snively Whiplash thrown in. Something about his movements and personality seem vaguely familiar to some, but nobody has really put a finger on it yet.

Rumor has it that his only real purpose in life is to "destroy" Muscular Worm.

Weapon of Choice: He carries no evident weapon, but claims to have a wide array of superpowers of the most typical sort. He is also rumored to be a thumbwrestling champion.

Likes: Really terrible, evil things, and pudding... Evidently.
Dislikes: Justice?

wormthingy

18 Dec 2006, 09:07

Name: "Wormthingy"
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Nationality: Unknown

Background/Personality:He started of as a normal worm just like you and me. He had a family, a life, a car, and a full-time job at a nuclear plant as a janitor.
one day when he was dragging a bin filled with nuclear waste outside he slipped over his tongue and fell, the bin landing upside down on his head knocking him unconsious.
when he woke up he found himself in the sewer surrounded by zombies, when he looked at his reflection in the water he found out that he had green goo on him which made him look like a zombie. so he figured if he stayed he had to eat brains and they would find out someday it was just the goo and he was not a zombie. so on a night of "BRAAAAIINSSZZ" he ran away and ended up in a dark alley next to a pizza restaurant.
he washed the goo off and found out he was almost transparent; the deeper under the skin the more opaque he was, his skin being almost transparent.
the next thing he noticed was his abillity to change his body' shape into what ever he wants as long as he concentrates on it (which is a problem since he has a short concentration time span).

the next day he found a rabbit which he adopted, but after two days it died, He did not know it was dead but thought it was just hungry, so he stuffed it with newspapers and talks to it when he's lonely, ofcourse it never talks back so every once in a while he throws the rabbit outside to pick it up when it has learned to behave again. after a few weeks he was discovered by two eight year olds, one survived, the other one however poked the "worm-thingy-inside-the-box", as they called him, with a cattle prod ,and, well.. lets just say the kid went to a better place... Nowadays he lives next to the pizza restaurant inside a box he calls 'HQ" or "Home", he fights for the greater good (his box. since there are these homeless kittens outside who want to sleep in his warm box and he's sure that they will take it as soon as they have a chance).

Weapon of Choice: his body since he can change it into stuff, like a gun. however he has to look for the body part that turned into the bullet after he fired himself...

Likes: his box, and his dead pet rabbit.
Dislikes: cattle prods, kids and bins, since they destroyed his life

GrimOswald

18 Dec 2006, 13:32

Name: Grim Oswald.
Age: Unknown. (That seems to be the trend)
Gender: Male I suppose.

Background: One day, a long (ish) time ago, Oswald and his pal, er, Sunny, were taking a walk through their favourite park. (There are those that would argue that worms can't walk, but those that argue that can shove off) The sky was blue, the sun was shining, the children were screaming in terror the birds were chirping happily...indeed, it seemed virtually perfect.
"What a lovely day," said Sunny.
"Aye," replied Oswald.
"It's days like these that need to be treasured, ya know what I mean?"
"Aye."
"You could almost say these are the best days of our lives..."
"Shut up."
"Okiley dokiley."
They continued on their merry way. They did various things on their walk, such as pet a dog, (Sunny did anyway) get some ice cream (Again, Sunny) and stop to chat with an elderly lady sitting on a bench. (Oswald was counting graves in a nearby graveyard while Sunny was doing this) They were nearing the end of their walk when suddenly someone accidently flipped a coin at the exact velocity needed for a vat of acid to appear from thin air, and sadly it landed right on Oswald. There was a look of mild indifference, and then there was nothing left but a worm skeleton, which collapsed into an open grave in previously mentioned nearby graveyard. Sunny collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, but then saw a brand new Wii "abandoned" in someone's handbag and rushed off. The people who had just dug the grave raised their eyebrows, shrugged, and tossed the corpse of their evil sorcerer king in with the the skeleton. They filled it up and left, and Oswald was never seen again...

...Until fourty three minutes later...

...For a powerful aura of dark magic still emenated from the corpse of the evil sorcerer king, and this power seeped into Oswald's skeleton. Tiny red points appeared where his eyes should be. They started to grow larger and larger, until they filled up the whole of the eyesockets. Two burning crimson balls of malice and power. Suddenly, Oswald leaped up through the earth and out of the grave. He grabbed some black robes that were conviently lying on the grass and wrapped himself in them (complete with hood) so that only his skeletal face was visible, along with those piercing "eyes". It was exactly at this point that Sunny - having succesfully acquired the Wii and had decided he really ought to mourn for his friend - appeared.
"Oswald! You're alive! You look a bit thinner than I remember though."
"My name is not Oswald."
"It isn't? I could have sworn it was. Oh well, what is it then?"
"My name," he said as he reached his hand out and closed it around Sunny's neck, "Is Grim Oswald."
Snap.
Grim Oswald let Sunny's dead body fall to the ground.
"Power," he muttered.
Suddenly, memories that were not his own flooded into his mind. Memories of an ancient time where the evil sorcerer kings ruled.
And memories of a prophecy that predicted that time would come again.
And, rather unfortunately, memories of someone pointing out that the chances of such a stupid prophecy coming true were too small to write.
And so Grim now just wanders from place to place, searching for meaning to his living death.

Personality: Grim. He has a negative outlook on the world in general. His dark, grim and somewhat monotonous voice reflects this. Behind all that though is a very intelligent worm.

Weapon of choice: His amazing strength and his dark magical powers. (Nobody's really sure what these dark magical powers are, but they're definately there)

Likes: Virtually nothing.
Dislikes: Virtually everything.

Miscellanous: Being dead, Grim doesn't need to sleep, eat, breathe, etc. He is unaffected by any specific means of dealing with undead, such as holy water and the likes. Oh, and he doesn't blink.

I don't have a picture because I can't make images or draw on paper. And I don't mean that like most people mean that. I mean I really can't. At all. But if anyone wants to make a picture of him for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

wigwam the

21 Dec 2006, 21:48

Background: wigwam doesn't talk about his past. mostly because nothing veryinteresting happened to him. he was birthed as a worm native to a small island where worm tribes bttle. but he got lost once and ended up in the dangerous haven of outer worm city, where what little remains of the city is taken over by anarchists and thugs, who have made the old city thier own. there he was press ganged to join the great outer worm army, lead by the demanding and disciplinary leader john "the moustache" rigley, who forced him into battle. after fighting and barely winning several wars, mostly by hiding under rocks and tearing apart the entire island until his enemies accidently killed themselves, his own unit disowned him, and he wandered alone until seeking refuge in the safety of a giant hexagonal dome (or at least, that was how he saw it) called "the team 17 forum".

Personality: wigwam frequently pops up at the forum for a beverage and some fine chatter, for about an hour, then he leaves for a few days and comes back sometimes at weekends. his personality is very hard to determine, for he is a nerd.

Weapon of choice: a bow and arrow. wigwam only uses the bow and arrow when he needs to, it is not really a character trademark. he usually just uses weapons in his arsenal, neither a lightsider or a darksider, and has no strategy. which more than often doesn't work in his favour.

Likes: surrealism, food, etc.

Dislikes: bad things, console wars, etc.

Adventures: wigwam's adventures include but are not exclusive to;
worms survivor 1: when wigwam was voted out.
nobody rides for free: wigwam has no strategy. thus, to this day, is the mission he was stuck on the longest. he got bronze, and no easter egg. but he doesn't want to do it again.

Name: wigwam's full name is "wigwam the". there is nothing after, or before. it used to be "wigwam the senior", (and/or newbie, junior) but it isn't any more.

I know I've already done it, but I wanted to change around some things, and I couldn't find my post. Maybe I didn't post after all.

Anyways:

Name: Inferno.
Background: He was raised with serious parents, but as he started getting older his skin turned red, and he was banished from the house. He then found the fire temple and as he walked up to a wall, it opened, in a kind of whisper it said "Welcome, chosen one". Inferno has been guarding the fire gem ever since, and by standing by it he gained fiery powers, then an army of robots attacked, for some reason. Inferno uses their spare parts to make his helmet, powered by the fire gem to increase his powers, then defeated the rest. He still guards the fire gem today, but he's off duty a lot because he set up an alarm there.
Age: roughly 18
Likes: Fire, blowing stuff up, shiny things.
Dislikes: people who get in his way, anyone who attacks the temple.

Personality: He's normally hyper, though he has a serious side too, and believe me, you don't wanna get on it!

Mabye there should be a comparison in the first post, to give people an idea on how to do it.

How not to do it:

[bad grammer][bad spelling]
Name: Fireworm
Bio: He was born in the town Wormsville where he discovered an ability to burn things by touching them. This lead to his expulsion while still young. This added to his anger which he already had, turning him into some kind of super worm with lots of fire based abilities! He now moves from town to town burning them down and killing lots of more or less blameless people. He found an equally sadistic friend in the form of a duck.

Strengths: He can flame anything at anytime and has strange superpowers that make no sense making him 'uber'.

Traits: He's angry, there's no way you can get on with him, he'll try to kill you. DON'T MESS WITH HIM! HE'LL F***ING *** YOU!

Likes: Fire, death, random killings, more fire
Dislikes: Water, strange things
Occupation: Inventor of stupid weaponary

[insert crappy picture]

[/bad grammer][/bad spelling]

...

Ok, so I can't do it bad enough. Someone help me out.

A slightly better profile:

Name: [a more interesting name or just better]

Bio:
[name] has always had a great interest in mechanics and often dreamed of having his own large workshop. When he went to school, he excelled at engineering, science and maths (although his arts based subjects were not as good). After leaving, he managed to get funding for his own workshop and lab, meeting people and making friends along the way. He has found himself in many strange adventures, often involving something he's made, but such is the way of things. Due to the well known lack of good eyesight among geniuses, he wears thick glases and has no hair (which isn't uncommon for worms in any case).

Traits: Ameable, good to get to know with. Tries to avoid holding grudges, but sometimes it cannot be helped

Strengths: His powerful intellect has managed to save him more than anything else.

Likes: Tea, electronics

Dislikes: Coffee, Biology, Windows XP

[insert useful picture that helps clarify character]

Well, not wonderful...

I'd say that the whole purpose of making a character, and the reason this thread exists, is to make worms that work well in:

a)comics
b)pictures
c)both

Take a look at some of the more popular and succesful Sigworms out there, for example, I dunno, Paul.Power, Slick and Zero.

They get drawn a lot, they're always in comics, and they've been around for ages. The important question is WHY??

Because they are interesting, that's why. Almost ironically, their personalities have very little to do with the game Worms, usually the only similarity is that they are worms. They don't run around with modified worms weapons like concrete donkeys that cluster out 12 banana bombs that turn into HHGs. No. Their costumes are usually simple, yet have those touches that make them distinct, like a pencil behind the ear or a Sherlock Holmes hat, for example.

But again, what I can't stress enough is that they are interseting, and most importantly, different. If you're going to make a sigworm that is a soldier or something generic, my advice is to stop, and think up something slightly crazy, yet simple and interesting, and think up 1 or 2 little costume additions that are again non-generic and stand out form the rest.

If you can't think up something like this, then you shouldn't really be making a character, as they won't get noticed anyway...

Anyway, my sigworm doesn't have classic Worms weapons (sausage launcher, turd-on-stick gun, etc...), and he has a rather well defined personality.

Do I have a chance to appear some day in a comic ? :p

And, yes, i think so, because your worm isn't just a soldier with some kind of uber weapon. Your worm is more like an inventor.

Ah but you see, your sigworm doesn't just run around with an OTT weapon. He makes crazy and funny weapons that usually don't work. He's interesting, and he's got simple clothes like a yellow bandana with a screwdeiver and a bag. Nothing complex, easy to draw. You've got one of the better sigworms, and I'm sure you'll appear in a comic if anybody makes a forum comic. Unfortunately, you're not needed in my comic due to the way the story is going, and I wouldn't just want to randomly throw someone in for the hell of it, but I'll try to include people where I can.

Ok, as some of you may have noticed, I deleted my post ^^^^. I have changed my sigworm and it is this.

Tgworm (T.G.)

Background:Tgworm is a young worm of only five years old (worm years). He is growing up in the countryside. His parent love and cherish him but he has always been mischevious and adventurous. He once escaped from his parents' loving grip and stumbled upon a town where he found an old, disregarded war helmet. He has worn it ever since. When he was two, a small robin landed on his tail, Tgworm admired it's flight and they have become good friends. Tgworm now goes nowhere without Robby. Robby and he spend alot of time in the garden, pondering about life.
Personality:Tgworm keeps himself to himself alot and is surprisingly clever for a five year old. His main love is Robby but he is also quite fond of his parents.
Weapons: T.G. usually gets robby to fight most of his battles but when he does get into combat he usually uses his dummy to suffocate the enemy .
Favourite Phrases:"Come on Robby, lets go!" "Get off me mummy!"
Likes/Dislikes:Tgworm likes anything that flies and is fascinated with the concept. He is sure that one day he will fly. T.G. hates the moon, he thinks it plots against him.

Just for kicks, I thought I'd toss up a profile for everybody's favorite Zero doppelganger, since I never did get around to giving him one on Ground Zero. This doesn't mean I want him showing up all over the place in fan art, although I'm not terribly against it either, and it definitely doesn't mean I'm trying to incite a swarm of Alternate Dimension characters.

Thanatos

Background: To put it simply, Thanatos is Zero Worm's parallel from an alternate universe where the ideas of good and evil are essentially inverted; evil to them is basically good to us. You get it. The exact circumstances under which he bridged the gap between the worlds isn't quite known. He claims to have "conquered his own dimension" and come to this one via a random dimensional rift in order to spread his legacy of terror into a world that he thinks deserves a little more evil.

Unsurprisingly, he has a vast interest in his parallel, Zero.

Appearance: Thanatos distinguishes himself from Zero with his black helmet crested by a blood red gem. His eyes posess an otherworldly sheen, appearing purple when taken by light, but taking on a sinister red glow when darkened. His incisors are also enlongated to the point where they can be considered actual fangs, and he regularly bares them when angered.

Personality: Surprisingly reserved and intelligent a lot of the time, but very prone to letting his instincts run away with him -- often deliberately -- and going on mad destructive sprees, bellowing a chilling laugh the whole time. When not involved in the aforementioned, Thanatos has learned that it's best to maintain a low profile, and often opts to remain in the background and generally follow the Speak Softly And Carry A Big Stick principle. He usually speaks very condescendingly to the do-gooders of our realm, but still carries an odd air of respect for his adversaries. He displays a remarkable and sinister intellect and likes to mess with others' heads; he is all but convinced that he can even awaken Zero's own evil side, but is prepared to kill him if that doesn't work out.

Weapon of Choice: Thanatos' alternate dimesion take on the Z-Saber is an unwieldy-looking but powerful red-beamed scythe. (The T-Scythe? ... Nah.) While it's tricky and unothodox to use, the weapon's mass and leverage enable him to put immense raw power behind every swing, almost in an "I'm Wearing The One Ring" kind of way. He also seems fueled by some sort of extra demonic power that he keeps concealed, even though his power is supposedly equal to Zero; a few of his abilities more resemble Akuryou.

Likes: Just about anything evil. Battle. Destroying stuff. Killing. Pain. Dominating everything that he sees. Meat. Heavy metal.

Dislikes: Goody-goodiness and anybody who practices it; heroes and heroism, if you will. Sunlight. Losing. Idiots and loudmouths, cowards and weaklings.

Bonus name evaluation: Thanatos, in psychology, is the "death instinct," the part of the mind that basically controlls pessimistic thoughts and risky behavior and whatnots. Thanatos was also the name of the personification of death in Greek mythology. According to Soul Calibur 2, Thanatos is even the name of the scythe used by the Grim Reaper.

Went a little ambitious on my pithy shading attempts on my pic here. He looks a little sunburned or something. Oh well. Also, I redesigned the scythe.

For the hell of it:

29511

Professor Paul Dot Power

Background: In his universe (different from Thanatos' universe for obvious reasons), Professor Dot Power came to rule by using his machines of destruction, overthrowing the peaceful democracy that had previously existed. He and his loyal minions are also seeking the potential empire expansions available in other universes.

Appearance: As our Paul.Power, the Professor wears goggles: however, his have red-tinted lenses. He also has a fountain pen instead of a pencil (Because fountain pens are clearly evil :p).

Strengths: Highly intelligent: a technical and criminal mastermind. Also very focused and directed, unlike our Paul.Power.

Weaknesses: Nothing to write home about physically: relies on his technology over any great prowess in combat. Tendency to monologue. Underestimates the power of sheer dumb luck.

Likes: Big leather swivel chairs, universal domination, technology.

Dislikes: Inefficiency, getting involved in fights, places he doesn't rule.

Jervix Stilldrunk The Fifth

Nationality: Canadian.
Age: Young man trapped in an old man's body.

Background: Little is known about Jervix up until a certain point. Almost all information on him was gathered from a recording of when he was on Who Wants To Be A Millioinare. When he was on, his accent was THE stereotypical Canadian accent, so it is assumed that is where he's from. His age is uncertain, but given his complete lack of general knowledge on the show, it can be surmised that he is rather young, despite looking like one of those old professors with white hair, those glasses, etc. When he got the fifth question wrong - and hence went home with nothing - due to his phone a friend Paul.Power not really liking him and deciding to be a complete git and give him the wrong answer, any sanity he had snapped. He flew out of the building in a rage and retreated to his typical mad scientist base, where he developed uber technology skillz and started devising terrible, evil plans all with one purpose: to suprise Paul. Yes, death was too good for him. Instead, he decided he would put him in constant fear of being shocked. He would hide around corners when Paul was about to walk past, then he would jump out and shout "Boo!" He would hack into his TV and and flash images onto the screen of Splapp and Slick being a little too fond of each other at random intervels. He would pretend to be franpa and make posts on the Team17 forum that were intelligent, informative, and correct. And he is never satisfied, and keeps thinking of new and worse ways to scare the daylights out of his worst enemy.

Personality: Despite now having great knowledge technology wise, Jervix is still a complete nutter, and thus very unstable. (Which means a lot of his profile could theoretically go out the window :p) He gets very angry if his plans don't work out perfectly, wheras if they do, he will of course go into an uncontrollable maniacal laughter. Actually, he goes into uncontrollable maniacal laughter a lot anyway without much warning. Is prone to telling bad jokes. (And puns of course) Gets on very well with other evil people, particularly supervillians and mad scientists.

Food and Drinks: Beer. He loves beer, but drinks in suprising moderation. Unless he has friends around, in which case he'll get completely drunk. Or sometimes if his plans fail miserablely. Also coffee, he drinks a lot of coffee. As for food, he'll eat virtually anything that's inbetween two slices of bread.

Weapons: Uber hacking skillz. Other than that, none really, though he could probably build some if he needed to.

Likes: Dogs. Suprising Paul.Power.
Dislikes: Plans going wrong, lemmings.

Strengths: Intelligence.
Weaknessess: Intelligence, ;) his love for sandwiches, and his Dislikes.

Picture: None yet, I'll get _Kilburn to draw one. :p Just imagine a stereotypical mad scientist for now (Not that he really is a scientist, he just looks like one)

HAPPY NOW???

Not really. Original or no, it still makes my brain squeak.

Jervix Stilldrunk The Fifth

Nationality: Canadian.
Age: Young adult.

Background: Little is known about Jervix up until a certain point. Almost all information on him was gathered from a recording of when he was on Who Wants To Be A Millioinare. When he was on, his accent was THE stereotypical Canadian accent, so it is assumed that is where he's from. His age is uncertain, but given his complete lack of general knowledge on the show, it can be surmised that he is rather young, despite looking like one of those old professors with white hair, those glasses, etc. When he got the fifth question wrong - and hence went home with nothing - due to his phone a friend Paul.Power not really liking him and deciding to be a complete git and give him the wrong answer, any sanity he had snapped. He flew out of the building in a rage and retreated to his typical mad scientist base, where he developed uber technology skillz and started devising terrible, evil plans all with one purpose: to suprise Paul. Yes, death was too good for him. Instead, he decided he would put him in constant fear of being shocked. He would hide around corners when Paul was about to walk past, then he would jump out and shout "Boo!" He would hack into his TV and and flash images onto the screen of Splapp and Slick being a little too fond of each other at random intervels. He would pretend to be franpa and make posts on the Team17 forum that were intelligent, informative, and correct. And he is never satisfied, and keeps thinking of new and worse ways to scare the daylights out of his worst enemy.

Personality: Despite now having great knowledge technology wise, Jervix is still a complete nutter, and thus very unstable. (Which means a lot of his profile could theoretically go out the window :p) He gets very angry if his plans don't work out perfectly, wheras if they do, he will of course go into an uncontrollable maniacal laughter. Actually, he goes into uncontrollable maniacal laughter a lot anyway without much warning. Is prone to telling bad jokes. (And puns of course) Gets on very well with other evil people, particularly supervillians and mad scientists.

Food and Drinks: Beer. He loves beer, but drinks in suprising moderation. Unless he has friends around, in which case he'll get completely drunk. Or sometimes if his plans fail miserablely. Also coffee, he drinks a lot of coffee. As for food, he'll eat virtually anything that's inbetween two slices of bread.

Weapons: Uber hacking skillz. Other than that, none really, though he could probably build some if he needed to.

Likes: Dogs. Suprising Paul.Power.
Dislikes: Plans going wrong, lemmings.

Strengths: Intelligence.
Weaknessess: Intelligence, ;) his love for sandwiches, and his Dislikes.

Picture: None yet, I'll get _Kilburn to draw one. :p Just imagine a stereotypical mad scientist for now (Not that he really is a scientist, he just looks like one)
Humour is essential in a profile. (Y)
Unlike mine, which I'm too lazy to change. :p

New (probably better, I think) profile.

Name: Ignate, or Gardy, I really don't care.

Background: Parents were killed, became all black and evil Group of hooded people, eating souls, obelisk Ignate was squirming down the road when suddenly, four mysterious figures attacked ate at a burger stall just a few blocks down.

So anyway, Ignate went to a firearms store, where he bought A GIANT LASER ROCKET LAUNCHER CHAINGUN a chocolate bar, which was sold for 20 cents each (which is 20 more cents than usual) on the countertop. The owner, Sharon (he had a rough childhood) said he had a new item in store.

He took out a shoebox and opened it, revealing a pair of funky fresh sneakers. Realising worms had no feet, he just pointed with his freshly manicured fingers (again, rough childhood) to a pair of gloves with some goggles.

"People make fun of my face" Sharon said, "so I put their souls in a cookie jar." Sharon paused, and then said "On a lighter note, you can have those, it's the last of the stock." Ignate took the gloves and the goggles, put them on, and left the store, forgetting the chocolate bar, and then Sharon started singing the Titanic theme song for no absolute reason.

Personality: Takes in-jokes too seriously. Thinks a fat guy is following him. Has a grudge against CNN. Knows how to control all the elements and be all-powerful state the seemingly obvious, quite well.

Likes: That guy's sister Stuff.

Dislikes: CNN, mosquitoes.

Abilties/Powers: His gloves allow him to fire a beam of energy, which he doesn't that much, because it gives him an itch. The goggles make everything look green, and it glows when he's using his powers, which looks cool.

Ok... cold and plain.

Your profile is fairly dull, unimaginitive and generally poor. Some parts are ok, but you've added really stupid stuff, a lot of which, Akuryou pointed out.

then you go and add the ability to control fire for absolutely no friggin reason. seriously, tacking on abilities to make yourself cool is pointless

Insults? They are not insults.

The criticism is contstructive. You should be able to work on what we have said. You've been told what's wrong, now you attempt to improve it. We're not going to write it for you.

I think that I have a better reason as to why you don't see any new sigworms in comics anymore.

People don't make forum comics anymore.

Or at least, not right NOW.
And you almost never get put in a comic unless you ask to be put in. (Unless you are female. :p)

Hahaha! Pigbuster posted this on the 13th of February.

i thought you would give me advices instead of insulting criticsFair enough.

There are no hard-and-fast rules for sigworm design, but I'd say the most important rule is "simple yet distinctive". This goes for both appearance and personality.

In appearance, for example, you should focus in on one or two distinct items of clothing (or hair, or whatever), and then try to make those items as unique as possible. A sigworm cluttered up with masses of artifacts is bad*, but then so is a sigworm whose only distinguishing feature is a recoloured headband. Also, the best sigworm designs appear in people's minds fully-formed, not put together piecemeal.

Ditto for personality and backstory. A handful of strong personality traits, skills and backplot elements is sufficient. This isn't a roleplaying forum. It also gives you space to develop your character further later on, and gives people using your character in a comic far more room to manoeuvre.

Finally, don't try to be cool, and don't try to create an awesome, undefeatable character. People can relate far, far better to characters who are fairly normal with a few interesting quirks and abilities. Don't go too far the other way, of course - a thoroughly mediocre character would be pointless.

As I say, these rules are not hard and fast, and if you feel you have a thoroughly brilliant idea, feel free to break them. "The rules are there to make you think before you break them" is a wonderful maxim. Although the operative word there is think.

---

* Some people get away with this by either being very clever with their design, being a brilliant artist so no-one stops to think about the design, or qualifying under Iguana's Law of Forum Chivalry, i.e. being female. Or sometimes two of the three, or sometimes all three.

I informed you of this and others have suggested other ideas of improvement. by all means, stick to your original idea if you wish, just know that this thread exists only to provide information for those making comics. no one's going to use your character as is, so posting it wouldn't serve much purpose if you leave it as is.

Actually, those "insulting critics" are advice. The part with the fire-controlling was a tad (or A LOT) cliche'd in this forum.

And weapons that are wacky make good props, but sometimes pushing it makes it sound dumb, like the cat launcher, instead of making it fire a cat that explodes into eighty-seven flaming dinosaurs with laser eyes (or something like that) just make it a cat launcher that launches a cat.

And too many weapons is just as bad, unless you're _Kilburn (yes, I know you said you were a TWEAKER, but I'm just telling) And the part being very sarcastic was a bit odd. I also don't know how can one be friendly and destroys-anyone who-disses-his-ubergoggles.

On the bright side, I liked how you kept spelling goggles as googles. :p

Shoot, was that the first informative post I ever posted?

Welcome to the Team17 Forum. :p

Dr.Smooth

19 Mar 2007, 20:57

Hi, I'm new here so I may aswell make a profile.

Dr.Smooth
The Doctor is an intellectual scientist who works at a laboratory somewhere southern of Atlantis. He studies molecular biology mostly but does minor topics like Cloning and Nuclear weapon making. He is quite a cool chap who enjoys a night out after working late at the lab. He was born nearby and raised well by his upper class parents. Smooth has a select few friends who he enjoys to go to the pub with etc. He studies at home alot (where he lives by himself) He has read such titles as The Origin Of Species and enjoys flicking through The Human Genome Project when not busy. Nuclear weapons are his greatest passion. He enjoys finding out everything there is to know about them. His ambition is that he will one day work creating them for his countries' army. On the side he enjoys sketching little cartoons of strange things he calls-Homo Sapiens. He made up their Genus and Species in his head and pictures them with strange things like "arms" and "legs" and strange things like that. So, yes, he does have a fairly looney side. He is very familiar with mathematics (as most scientists are) and can do very hard calculations fairly quickly in his head. Dr.Smooth is nicely "well off" due to him selling off some of his weapon ideas to countries about the globe. He has alot of "home devices" about his home which he enjoys and doesn't sell to anyone as he likes to feel that some of the kit he owns his unique. Unfortunately he is quite a good target for robbers as he knows only too well.

Personality
Dr.Smooth is a fairly easy going chap who is normally sociable. He is also very hardworking and enjoys studying his subjects and is constantly improving himself by doing tests and mini projects. The Doctor is very passionate and dedicated about his job and spends about sixteen hours a day in the labatory. He is very "Smooth" whilst out on the pull but he doesn't overuse his manly qualities in any way. He is generally a very fortunate worm as he is "clever and cool," as his friends put it. He's also very modest.

Appearence
The Doctor is pretty much constantly wearing his lab coat because he needs it so much of the time. He loves his lab coat and it is very special to him, this is because it was given to him by his best friend when he left the country. He also wears a sort of "Tommy Cooper" style hat which he is also very attached to for sentimental reasons. He has some light stubble around his chin and upper lip due to his attraction of the kind of "rough look." He sometimes has a fake cigarette in his mouth for the same reason. He doesn't have a real one because he is intelligent enough to know that smoking is foolish. He usually wears a pair of dark, half moon, glasses which adds to his look quite prominently and also acts as lab goggles.

Favourite Weapons
Smooth's favourite weapons are normally the ones he makes which include the Nucloptics and Hydrogravitator. These are used very rarely by Smooth himself but he sells his ideas to greater organisations. Many companies have mass produced his weapons which he is very proud of.

Likes
Smooth is very fond of Chemical Formulae. He also has a soft spot for the Periodic Table and Darwin, you know, geeky, scientific stuff like that. He also likes a nice pint on a friday night. He is very fond of his creations. He enjoys puzzles and mechanisms too.

Dislikes
He detestes people questioning his theories, and then having to prove the other person/people wrong. He absolutely despises kiwi's, more than anything, ever. He hates rivals in his field of work. Other than those few minor points he is a chilled, laid back kinda guy.

But isn't that the whole point of theories? For them to be questioned until they get proved absolutely correct or not?
