I consider forum characters quite unnecessary, to be honest. I've never had one myself, and if I ever had a reason of some sort to get one, it would just be a cartoonified version of myself.

I am a cartoonified version of myself.
Actually, that's quite the best thing you can do in my opinion.

After all, you ARE yourself, or are you somebody different when you're online?
Add some details here and there and it's cool.

btw, I don't like recolors or direct clones, only if it has a special reason.

Well I'm an edit I guess. But I'm not an edit of a main character, I'm an edit of a species.

That's slightly less satanic, right?

My ref is related to Mario as cusions, plus, he's also Megaman's son in law.
Also, refs are cool if you keep it cool, you know, like giving it something that is you, for me, I like pirates, sunglasses, and armcannons, So...

Nonsince, Punkyoshi - Sunglasses
Sparker, Sparker the Pirate - Pirate (One has pirate in name and one has one eye)
Nonsense - Armcannon

See?

As long as your character is imaginative, it's fine.

Decent edits make the internet go round because they're in the middle between sucky recolours and boring human forms.

Likewise with completely original stuff, but not many people go for the completely original option anymore.

Are you all saying I suck because my character is a simple recolour and edit? :P

The cheek!

Well, I'm not terribly good at drawing on computer with a mouse and I thought my recolour looked cool way back in 2001 when I thought up of him because being honest, I hadn't seen another person with the same basic idea at the time.

But this debate is unnecessary, MFGG is meant to be a fun place, not a bloody police state where you have to conform to this or that rule given by members!

Recolors are bad yes,
Most edits aren't too bad, as long as they aren't a horrible mixture of mainstream characters,
For one, I like to see creativity among people. For instance I am rather glad Pikaboo came up with that character because it was original (despite it being a simple fusion) and visually appealing.

I'm not to fond of recolors. And I agree with Derrike.

Its not hard to come up with something original. For example. My character came me trying to sprite a chao.

Add some details here and there and it's cool.

I guess my "character" counts as a cartoonified persona too, since it is loosely based on how I look and at least half the wardrobe is what I actually wear (hint: not the top half).

It's up to you, what do people know you by the most?

Luigi Edit? Or That Human Thing?

To tell ya the truth, I like the Luigi edit better.

I'd suggest keeping your current one, the Mario/Luigi edits are just as annoying as the Sonic edits in my opinion.

I have my characters because i have:
- My books
- My Games (Mikiko)
- My Sketchbook

Simple really, i mean, i could ask for a name change to Halbren Xipher- it's one of my characters, so i couldn't care less. Mods, don't take me seriously :P


As for recolors, i hate them, hate hate hate, so dull and boring, always "MARIOZ LOANG LOSHT SON/BRUTHER/COUSIN or Alternate dimensional version!"

Catch my drift?

Ainsworth WAS loosely based on me, but I got a little too fantastical with his design, so I had to cut some things out, i.e. the giant pencil, sword tie, etc.

He wears a simple T-shirt, green glasses, cargo pants, and sneakers now, but the shirt still has the sword print on his shirt.

Also, his hair somehow got a lot bigger in recent months.
