“Deadly Virus Man” was the screen name created by a wannabe hacker twelve-year-old that played the MMO “Otherworld” created by “Ettin Industries,” which was a company run by characters within a roleplaying universe known as the “Corkie Commune.” DVM is a triple troll.
DVM is a character in a character I used to role play. The group usually stuck to one universe that visited other universes. The Commune was sort of a limboish place that existed slightly left of reality and could only be first reached by necessity. One RP member decided that he wanted to play a different universe, but rather than start a story up in that universe, he had some convoluted idea. Instead of a new universe with new characters, he introduced an MMO that the characters played, and we were going to play our characters playing their characters. It was pretty obvious to me that he wanted to do a new universe, and I’m still not quite certain why he didn’t just say it. He still has some characters he made up for it in his D&D playing. All characters I made for this universe were silly and lighthearted.

Bus (SB, Schoolbus), started as a Dwarf Hunter character in World of Warcraft. Lame, I know, but that’s where she started. She spent her adventuring days hanging around with Underground (UG, Yuji), a man twice her height. Her adventuring days came to a permanent end when the account for Underground was hijacked and banned. My husband and I no longer play WoW.
In WoW, Bus had a flying snake named Aeroplane. She used to have a cat named Shortbus, but a GM determined that Shortbus was an insult and her name was changed to Littlebus. (I had another character’s pet renamed when they failed to recognize the greatness of Bagpuss.)
Bus later evolved in my mind, as I never wrote anything about her, into a young woman who left her family behind to go adventuring. Her life was rather droll, having everything she needed come to her whenever she wanted. She felt her life lacked a certain spark.

Ba, the troll shaman. Fwump. Drawn in December 2004 because I hadn’t drawn much in a while then. Used WoW character as reference. This was somewhere around level 30.
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, stuff started from a watercolor of the ice angel. On the right you will find the mutilated image. For some reason, after scanning original a decade ago I plonked it into photoshop and inverted it and possible put it through other tortures (filters) as well. Don’t ask me what’s up with that scarf or hair or whatever, because I seriously do not know. No one knows.
Edit: Hehe, here’s the original pencil sketch (on the left). I know I have more pre-paint planning doodles somewhere . . . probably in storage.
Someone was making a myconid race, mushroom people, so I made a character and played it a bit. He was Chestnut, the myconid druid. He wore ironwood armor, had an ironwood shield and club, and pretty much avoided combat at all costs. The annoying thing about playing the game was that the DM wanted Chestnut to FIND his animal companion rather than just HAVE it at the beginning, but then he never put the character in any situations where there were animals. Always vermin and magical creatures. After a while, I was in a swamp, and I just said, “look, can I find a snake here or whatever” and he said “NO YOU HAVE TO EARN THE ANIMAL’S TRUST.” So he made me fight vermin again. WTF. Can’t befriend vermin!! Need something with the ANIMAL type! (d&d 3.5e).
Two images, related (contain one same character). Originally posted on LJ May 20, 2002 @ 0:41. Secret AGENT Schroe, secret AGENT Schroe . . . Arg, more contractions. Woke up a bunch of times with painless ones, but they still woke me up. I didn’t bother timing them at all last night. Now I’m tweeting them to timestamp them. Gosh, this current one hurts a big more than the others.

This is another one I’m not talking about. Okay, I’ll say something. I like the drawing. The “wallpaper” is stupid. DON’T JUDGE ME. The original drawing was pretty big, about a foot and a half tall. I actually had some big paper to draw on. Had to scan two parts and put it together.
Also Jorenko got me the BEST GIFT EVER: Munchkin.
So much to do, so little energy to do it.
Spent overnight in the hospital for observation, everything is looking good.
Might be doomed to bedrest.
Had 36 week ultrasound. Scanner’s downstairs, so pictures of that later.
Sleep now.
