Geoffrey Fulmer

Name: Geoffrey Fulmer
RPer: Lauritz Melchior
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Height: 4'8"
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Grey

Appearance: The most noticable quality of Geoffrey is his rather severe hunchback which leaves him standing only 4'8". Whether he was born this way, or an incident from his past gave him with his hunchback is unknown. Geoffrey is a proud man, extremely stubborn, and insufferable as company. Most of his time is spent complaining about the popular culture of the day. He begins almost every sentence with, "When I was your age..." and sees society as decadent. He is never seen without his tweed jacket. It is a dull-brown, the type of brown that is almost awkward to look at. Geoffrey never fails to tell you about his experiences in various wars, and more often than not he embelishes the story beyond any semblance of reality. It is doubtful as to whether he actually lived through most of these wars, much less fought in them. Knowing Geoffrey, he was probably an assistant cook in the military. Geoffrey rarely resorts to physical violence, but can defend himself with almost any blunt object.





(So, that's Geoffrey Fulmer, as of now my only RP character.

Or to see his first character description, click on this Delta City OOC

I've only recently started RPing, but have been thinking about RPing for quite a while. I've read over some of the old ADV! EZBoard, and first discovered RPing there.

Oh, when I joined the Delta City RP, I was given the ability to "create bubbles." I can create two types of bubbles. "Type A ignores gravity, and control it's movement etc. [i] can enclose people, as air gets through."
The other type of bubble is basically a stronger version that "cannot ignore gravity."

"If a bubble is broken [i] take mental backlash, which could cause internal bleeding, unconsciousness, or death."

I don't know if Geoffrey Fulmer will have those powers in Gaera.


Oh, heh, I ended up joining the AIM chatroom "CI Of Newness", where I promptly made multiple social blunders. I think that I'll get a bit more experienced with RPing before I interact in there again :D"

I dunno how with ezCodes, because they're lame. BUT, with HTML:


Holy Shit I'm text!


<a href="">
this opens the link

[/url]
This closes the link. Don't forget to close it! That slash is important.




Incidentally, for italics, you do something similar.


WE'VE GONE CRAAAZY AT CRAAAZY AL'S! TAKE OUR CARS, TAKE OUR TRUCKS! WE'VE GONE CRAAAZY!


Again, remember to close the tags, or else the italics will go on...FOREVER! <p>

When linking URLs:

Remember to include the http:// part (hard-link).

If you don't, it'll link within the website you're on. In this case, the forum. :[ <p>

The HTML code didn't work, but thank you all the same.
I noticed something interesting while attempting to edit my post. I typed in all of the 's with 'I's, but they all came out as 'i's.

On a completely different note, I am quite excited about having finally joined this forum.

Same reason for both of those, actually. You need to set your post formatting to use HTML instead of ezCodes to get HTML to work. And because is an ezCode symbol, it tried to parse it and decapitalized it. I think. Which is interesting if true, because it means you can't infinitalicize something in ezCode.

Anyway, the ezCode method of doing a link: [link=http://address goes here]like so[/link] <p>

Thanks! I ended up using Idran's because it looked easier. I might try HTML once I'm a bit more confident with using these boards. Oh, Rydia, here's a spare Alligator License that I happen to have on me. Unfortunately, it's only valid in Djibuti.

...Wait, Firefox doesn't mess those up for you? Always sticks them at the end of the message for me, no matter where my cursor is.

Also: Looks like I was wrong, and ezCodes do mess up italics the same way HTML does. So to get the rephrasing asides to stay, you'll either have to use HTML, or use something other than a square bracket around the I's. <p>

Once in a great while; but generally they are at the end when I do them, as I do them when I encounter them whilst typing. Depending on how annoying the process is, I will generally use them, then C&P them when putting the cheat buttons to use. <p>---------------------------

Basically, I was told that I had the ability to create bubbles that could encapsulate people. Said people could breathe in the bubbles, and type I could control Type A's movement, but not Type B's. I'm not quite sure if I'm able to get into Type A bubbles.

I'm thinking that I'll just start as an old geezer on this board, without any bubbly powers.

Heh, I'm a guy (=B
I get that occasionally because my name sounds like Lauren or Laura. I got the name of Lauritz Melchior from a Wagnerian tenor. It just seems like the perfect name for a forum or an RPG.


EDIT: I thought that I'd changed my profile to only have one picture, but now they're multiplying like crazy. I'll figure it out though.

The bubble is simply a power that I have in this other RP. I've decided to not keep that power in this forum.

Now that I'm not being lazy...

This sounds to be one of the more interesting unsociable character types as yet. I'd like to see him RPed. <p>

Thanks! I'm seeing about having him join in the Isle of Ecestrim RP. He's also in Delta City where I've had a bit of fun with him.
