I can't promise to commit too much activity until this semester is over, but I'll be checking on this thread at least.
I should have plenty of time to spend when school isn't taking up a good chunk of my time.
Maybe we can get another boost over the next school break.
Summer didn't turn out to be the boon we were hoping for, but that's likely because we were just kinda waiting for something to happen.
Gotta get moving on actually generating some more content, and coordinating how it gets created, submitted, and integrated with the rest of the work already done.
This was, has been, and should continue to be a COLLABORATIVE EFFORT, and the small handful of people actually doing something doesn't really speak to that right now.
Hopefully with a little more activity and coordination we can change that a bit.
This gets alot less enjoyable when the members involved shrinks past a certain level.

tl;dr
I'll be going on a temporary hiatus until this semester is over.
When the next break comes, I'll be trying to be a bit more proactive in getting this project back off the ground.

You know what I just thought of? OK imagine this.

We see a panel where /co/ is slamming open a door. He looks beaten, torn and generally in a mess. His hat's facing down one side of his face and his hair is all messy.

We see a BEAUTIFUL house with /ck/ looking incredibly refined and /cm/ and /c/ sitting at a table wearing nice looking clothes.

/co/: DAMMNIT!... I mean... hey!~

We see /ck/ walk up to /co/ and smile at him. She's wearing a long red dress with fancy ornate jewelry on her and long white Gloves. /co/ just looks at her confused.

/ck/: Good morning dear. Tired from last night?

We cut to /c/ who wears mostly the same clothing only now it has several jewels and ornate features added to it, give it a more "ritzy" feeling.

/c/: Are we going to take the new /co/mobile out to /b/'s funeral?

We cut back to the torn and beaten /co/. However he looks much happier than normal.

/co/: Hmmmm... loving wife is a sex monger, kids are well behaved, /b/ is dead.

He's holding up his arms with a look of sheer joy now.

/co/: WOOHOO! I HIT THE JACKPOT!

We see /co/ sit down at the table.

/co/: /ck/ dear. Would you please hand me a comic?

We cut to /ck/ who looks confused.

/ck/: Comic? What's a comic?

Several screaming "DO NOT WANT" reaction faces from /co/ ensue.

He runs out.

We cut to the three of them looking confused as a TV plays in the background.

TV: Coming soon! Miracleman 4. The last in these groundbreaking epics of animated features, written by Alan Moore and directed by Brad Bird. Rated R. This film is not suitable for minors.

We cut to the three of them looking at the TV screen.

/ck/: Hmmm... another one.

/co/ is not retarded and idiotic like Billy, and while most of the cast is certainly eccentric and over-the-top, there's nobody in the cast that strikes me as being cynical and amoral like Mandy

A few things:
there has been a little bit of info about /h/ added to the wiki. /h/ is a (rather small) college student who is kind of a slacker, and was roped into being /d/'s sex shop covergirl. But I guess she kind of likes it, if it didn't take so much effort...

There should also be end-of-'episode' segments like such as a library segment with /rs/, a "cooking with /ck/" segment, and a "drawing with /i/" segment that /ic/ always interrupts and contradicts.

A contribution from /m/

We present to you /m/-tan!

/m/ is bipolar, she can hate something one second and then praise the same thing to heaven after, but is generally a nice person in calm-before-the-storm mode.

/m/ is elitist and has a love-hate relationship with /a/

/m/ occasionally wears a cardboard box that says Gundam on it, and thinks she is Gundam

/m/ is best friends with /toy/ and considers /co/ and /tg/ bros

The hat makes me think that it's /y/ barging through the door.
The last panel gave me a good laugh.

No.21143
Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior: /m/ spends most of his time preparing for some epic battle, constantly tinkering and training, upgrading his mech and the various appliances around the house.
/m/ welcomes a challenge, and lives for a chance to prove that he is the hero that he knows himself to be. /m/ is oblivious to the advances of the various female characters swooning over him, often comically so.
He also goes out of his way to be "manly", which has an opposite effect on the males of 4chan house, since most write him off as a homo.
He does enjoy watching mecha anime series to relax. This is the one time /a/ can hang out with him and not freak out over how damn pretty he is.
Special Power: Quite simply, /m/ keeps a scopedog in the garage. That's all the power he needs.
Unfortunately, he's never been able to get it fully functional on his own. Eventually he succeeds with /g/'s help near the beginning of the /b/ invasion.
Relationships: /m/ gets along well with /g/, since they both enjoy tinkering/upgrading things, and can work together on /m/'s mech. /e/ is constantly hounding him for attention, which he is completely oblivious to. He enjoys his regular anime sessions with /a/ and /toy/, though it seems that /a/ can't tolerate him the rest of the time for some reason. He plays with /toy/ on occasion, and helps her construct models from various mecha series.
Job: Possibly mechanic, currently undetermined.

/k/ - Weapons
Gender/Physical Description: Male, mid-thirties to early forties. Tall and lean, with brown hair and sideburns that go almost all the way down his jawline. He wears a trucker hat, sunglasses, hunting vest, white t-shirt, blue jeans, and hiking boots.
Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.: He loves his guns, which is probably an understatement, and is an expert marksman with almost everything.
Is very protective of the 4chan house and those that live there, once even going so far as to mine the front lawn. For obvious reasons, he was forced to remove them. He is always ready for a fight and is difficult to catch off-guard.
Special Power: No matter where he is, /k/ always has a weapon hidden nearby. He also has very deep contacts in both the US military and the black market.
Relationships: /an/'s hunting buddy and possible romantic interest. Friends with /trv/, but /trv/ is rarely there. Argues constantly with /v/ and /m/, especially about the impracticality of many of the weapons and vehicles that /v/ idolizes in his games and /m/ tries to build. Will sometimes participate in various wargames with /tg/ but is very critical of their accuracy or lack thereof. He gets along well with most of his fellow tenants, and he sees himself as their protector.
Job: Retired. Previously: Unknown position in the U.S. army, followed by a brief stint as a professional bodyguard.
/an/ - Animals/Nature
Gender/Physical Description: Female. Shoulder length chestnut hair, usually tied up or away from her face in some way. Light freckles, hazel eyes. Muscular build. Usually wears practical clothing, (overalls, jeans, etc).
Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.: Tomboyish, but occasionally wears girly clothing, (old fashioned, sundresses, etc), and in a gimmick-y way ends up turning heads of the other boards. Loves and respects all animals, but despises the extremes- whether that be an animal abuser or PETA. Has many, many pets, almost all which are named Biscuit - including a Velociraptor and some horrible abomination that looks like a cross between carp and elephant. Very respectful of nature in general, and enjoys gardening, hunting, and fishing. She likes teaching others about the world of animals and nature and how to understand and share the world with animals. Inquisitive about what makes animals behave the way they do, and what makes them so special. Although she’s polite and well mannered, she’s not afraid to speak her mind. She has a pet spider (species undetermined) who lives in her hair - everyone is afraid to touch her because of that, except /k/.
Special Power: None(?) Maybe animal empathy.
Relationships: Married to /k/, who is also her childhood friend. They wed before he joined the military, and she grew closer to animals and nature while he was away from her out of loneliness. Gets along well with /ck/, and she usually provides ingredients for /ck/’s cooking. Is a big sister figure, and often plays with /c/ and teaches the young girl about animals - usually the cute, fluffy kinds.
Job: Veterinarian
Maybes: Greenhouse attachment? Small garden? Potted plants on roof?

Even if i don't sit at the cool kids table around here, Here's my idea for /o/.

/o/- Auto
Gender/Physical Description: An old(mid 60's) grey haired man. Very slim build and a bit short(5'9"). Bones showing through hands. Shakes constantly similar to someone with parkinsons, Hands become as steady as a surgeon when he's holding a wheel or a wrench. Wears mainly nomex racing suits, oil stained ancient coveralls, and occasionally a polo shirt with neatly pressed trousers, and driving loafers. Drives a caterham super 7.

Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior: Never ever ever happy with anything. His cars, his performance on track, his peers, his friends. Can name something wrong with any car you can present him with. Extremely bitter. Possibly the most insufferable of all the boards. When he sits in a chair, he constantly bounces his right leg on the ball of his foot, and taps his fingers on his knee. He used to race in rallies and touring cars in the mid 50's through the 60's, and retired in the early 90's. Was snubbed for le mans and Race Of Champions on numerous occasions for much much younger drivers. Has thousands of stories aobut his younger days, Like punching cale yarbrough in the face in a bar brawl, and Parnelli Jones still possessing his 10mm deep well socket.

Special Power:Very strong focus, Can lift enormous car parts for such a small man. Encyclopedic knowledge of everything automotive.

Relationships: Hates everyone, espically /n/ and /trv/.

Job:Retired. SCCA Flagman and volunteer driving instructor on weekends.

/fk/ is an infant boy. Any text used with him must be in Comic Sans.

/5/ is an adult man who wears an old-timey judge's powdered wig and carries 5 glowsticks with him at all times. He cannot talk. Possibly a ghost.

/5/ should live in the basement at first and then sometimes show up in mirrors around the house doing a silly dance.

There's no real story of how anyone came to actually be in 4chan house, and I'm thinking that it just makes the most sense for new personas to simply appear in their rooms, along with their posessions.

i can't imagine /a/ and /v/ having a normal date. theyd be more like "hate dates" and moments of them trolling each other ( which they both secretly enjoy i imagine) one of them forcing the otehr into a date would be an awkward display of dominance to get the other to submit to the date, which would be pretty much one of them being forced to buy the other a meal and forcing a blowjob.

No.21293
>>21292
That is debateable, really.

The reason those boards have the most attention is because they are popular and they can be personified easily, both due to their content and their community.

Take, for example, /f/ or /gif/. How do we identify them differently from /b/ other than 'they're animated'. Hell, how do we identify them from each other? All one has to pull from is the memes of the boards. I'm not aware of any particular community feel to them.

Its the same reason /h/ and /s/ aren't done up. The boards are about subject matter, not about a 'community', as it were. There's no real substance to the board beyond what it provides.

/a/, /v/, /tg/, /co/, and others are more than providing images of something. There are discussions, interactions... They are internet communities more than simply imageboards. this makes them far easier to personify, because each has their own 'feel', and they do feel more 'alive' than other boards.

This isn't to say we should only stick to a few boards. I mean, look at /fa/, which we can all agree on the personality, considering how /fa/ posters act. /cgl/ has a level of drama and could also have that needed 'spark' to personify.

But more importantly, quality, not quantity. I don't think the project is big enough to try and encompass every board 4chan has. Focus on what does have a distinct feel and run with that.

else we'll have 17 boards that have nothing other than SAUCE NAO FGT in different flavors.

No.21294
>>21293

On the contrary, the boards with less community feel only give more room for personification, because you're not tied down to anything. /rs/ doesn't even have a discussion feature, but I kind of like the "hot librarian slut" persona he has so far.

I like to think that we're focusing on the more popular boards because we want to solidify their characters: there's not that much room for interpretation, and this makes working on the character easy. That is to say, the boards that get talked about the most are the easiest to personify. Go on /co/ and look at how they see themselves, and you'll see why /co/ is a do-good crime-fighter by night and comic neeeeerd by day. Or lurk /a/ and /v/ and you'll see why their characters are so tsundere for each other.

But >>21292 raises a valid point, because boards like /g/ don't really have a developed persona, even though they should. I don't even know where /m/ is going, either, because there hasn't really been a good discussion about it. /cgl/ is a pretty unique place with enough individuality, but the writeup on the cast page is a placeholder which was never discussed. Hell, /b/ wasn't discussed that much, it's still mostly my writeup on the cast page, but people seem to agree with it maybe.

The boards I would say that don't have any sort of distinctive flavor are probably /gif/, /h/, /hc/, /hr/, /r/, /s/, /t/, /w/, /wg/, and /rs/.

Also note that their character bios are pretty much bare, if they exist at all. That's not to say they can't or shouldn't be personified, it's just harder because it's more ambiguous (an essay about a broad subject is harder to write than an essay about a specific subject).

Discussion is good, discuss away. If you don't care about the background characters with less flavor, /cgl/, /m/, and /g/ should be fleshed out. If you discuss it, they will come.

I just think one shouldn't force it for the sake of 'just for completeness'. This isn't a game we can get 100% on. No need to squeeze out inferior designs just for the sake of it.

Quality of quantity. Do what you know you can do well. If someone else wants to work on the other boards, power to them. But I just don't think it worthwhile for characters that may just not end up being used that much anyways.

Apparently I've been missing alot over the past week or so.
Great to see some new art, and a new artist along with it.

I think that Ihsan and I are on the same page concerning just how how much, and how deeply we need to work on characterization.
Not everybody needs an equal share of the spotlight, and we certainly don't need to get obsessed with "completion" in terms of creating characters.

I'm not sure that I agree with /h/ not having a community though.
From my experience there, it's a much different feel from the other boards I once frequented (/e/ and /d/).
It's a strange thought that my main reason for returning to /h/ might be "for research".

Drawfag's point about PRIMARY characters, rather than MAIN characters is an excellent one as well.
While we may have a focus insofar as who sees the most attention, we shouldn't just shove all else aside.
Deciding to place the characters into tiers may very well just end up in some getting ignored for no reason other than their rank.
Best to keep in mind who is going to see the most attention, and focus on representing them well, before we add too much of the rest of the peanut gallery.

On the subject of the silly idea surrounding /d/ and some sort of 63 formula.
I may or may not run with that when I next sit down to do some writing.
I already had a storyline I was working on between /a/ and /d/ that touched on that a little, but seeing it in a larger context might be fun.
I should be back to writing within a few hours actually.
I'm going to try and get some progress made this week to make up for my long absence and lack of contribution.

/b/'s design hasn't been finalized yet (as much as a boardtan can be at least), right? I think I've come up with an okay idea for his character.

/b/, while certainly never normal, once used to be pretty consistent. He was friends (if you can call it that) with /g/uro, due to their love of guro, and even just gore in general. However, when /g/uro (died/moved/however you'd use it in story, I'm going with died in this post), /b/ was devastated, as it was the only board that ever liked him in the least. All other boards hated him, were disgusted with him. This is where the /b/ of the present comes from.

Shortly after /g/uro's death, /b/ was diagnosed with DID. He had a ton of different personalities, and all of them knew of the others with the exception of his main personality, which nobody ever really sees anywhere. (Basically, all the different faces of /b/. Raid coordinators, pranksters, all-around jackasses, newfags, oldfags, trolls that pick on himself, and so on. None are nice, though the more clever personalities are quite good at acting. /b/ can have his moments though.)

This leads to the /b/ of the present. The most notable of /b/'s personalities is a raid coordinator, wanting to cause the greatest amount of chaos as possible. He is able to motivate/gather faceless hordes of people from anywhere to join him (or, as has been suggested before, is able to summon them).

Optional: His fondness of /g/uro could be used as a reason for the whole boxxy incident as one personality (or more) took a liking to boxxy while the others all hated her for taking /g/uro's place and thus they pulled a bunch of crazy junk to force boxxy to move far away from the 4chan House where /b/ would never see her again.

This even works out no matter what you make him look like. Heck, he could even look different depending what personality he's in, from being a rather normal average looking loner to spewing a bunch of memes and drawing them all over himself and his clothes like a loser.

because /b/ the board is difficult to describe, /b/ the character is also hard to describe. You can't pigeonhole /b/ into any kind of static description, because /b/ itself is never in agreement on anything (yes, even raids).

...which is what led to the character description on 1d4chan. There's a paragraph there but it doesn't actually SAY anything other than "contradictory and unpredictable prankster who hates everything including himself."

That's probably the best way of handling the character, have him be a kind of wild card that fits any situation, as long as he doesn't take anything seriously. He could be knowledgeable and helpful or clueless and provocative. (At the rate we're going he'll probably end up as knowledgeable and provocative, aka a sort of antagonist.)

It might be an interesting character concept to have /b/ be, in a sense, already dead. He has little to no control over what he does, because he's at the mercy of Anonymous and Anonymous is generally merciless (but not always!). Since /b/ is already dead, he's' not concerned with self-preservation or much of anything else. (Anonymous as a force on /b/ doesn't really happen until late '04 when shii convinces moot to turn on FORCED_ANON. Until mid '04, moot was encouraging users to namefag.)

I'm going to pass on discussing his role in the story because /b/ has been said to be either the landlord, or the antagonist, or not even involved at all. /b/ can't be not involved, but /b/ doesn't really interact with the other boards unless it's hostile. Then it just begs the question of why have him at all if he doesn't do anything except interrupt. There are better characters for comic relief. (As an aside, I would posit that /b/ right now is a pretty friendly place.)

As far as an actual character design, I would posit that /b/'s form changes either gradually or suddenly and unpredictably. i.e. From an overweight cynical man to a normal hipster youth. Not that /b/ has any control over it. Maybe his one consistent trait might be eyes with a pronounced white iris that changes to black when he is in control of minions.

No.21841
>>21826

When I think of /b/, I think of the man who had it all. Immortality, invincibility, telepathy, the works. The man who went wild abusing his powers, changing himself as often as he wanted, pushing his lifestyle to the limits, living long enough to hit the heights man was never meant to reach, and staying in that wild state for years, decades, centuries. Even if he was eventually tired of certain extremes, he could always push in other directions eventually. Happiness, sadness, anger, irritance, depression, bliss; nerdy, casual, virgin, stallion, sane, insane - all limits, trascended by man!

What do you get for the man who has everything?

/b/ is the man who has done and seen everything. The man who wished for immortality and now wants to die. The man who wished he never saw what he had seen, if only that he could stimulated with new experiences again. /b/ stands for /b/urnt out.

i see /b/ as a sorta combo of the comedian from watchmen and tetsuo from akira.

No.21863
/b/ is a real mystery. He's equally likely to put out a foot to trip small children running by, call people faggots, and write badly-spelled graffiti on the side of a building as he is to saddle up and actually do something halfway constructive. Nothing /b/ does could ever be considered nice; however, there's no denying that when /b/ wants to, he can do some pretty big shit. He's got a natural talent for causing chaos and mayhem, and seems to revel in doing so. Nobody is his friend, and any partnership with him is tenuous at best and parasitic at worst. Asking /b/ for help with anything will likely just get you called a faggot for your troubles, but if the mood takes him, he will sometimes deliver what you're looking for. Especially if what you're looking for is porn. /b/ stays out of the way of everyone else much of the time, though woe betide the person he decides to fuck with when he gets too bored. Despite all his faults, however, there is one thing /b/ likes: cats. /b/ loves cats and hates seeing them harmed, and will go to any length to bring vengeance down on anyone who does. /b/'s love of chaos and mayhem attracts others with similar attitudes like moths to a fire, and he has an almost supernatural level of control over them.

Huu boy. I don't think I can even touch on /b/ without going into essay mode. Its just so complex.

I think though, personally, I see /b/ as someone who isn't as deep and meaningful as we'd try to portray them. Not in an insulting manner, but simple in that /b/ has a motive, and /b/ acts on that motive. There are no underlying features other than that.

/b/ exists for self gratification and emotional provocation. Interestingly, I can parallel /b/ to /d/. But where /d/'s motivations lead towards sexual and emotional gratification in a pleasurable resolve, /b/ does so for a humorous resolve, with possibly a far more sadistic bend. The more I think about it, the more both seem alike, though it is their contrasts that set them apart.

That contrast is in what they want out of their interactions with others. And I'm trying to scrape together the words for it. /d/ is about being fulfilled, being sated. /b/ is about being amused, being stimulated. Neither has any real barriers or social trappings preventing these persuits, (though perhaps /d/ could be contrasted as actually caring for the partners in her 'interactions', whereas /b/ doesn't have moral qualms about the emotional stability of his 'partners' afterwards)

Like I said... I could do essays on overthinking this shit.

Welcome to my world. When I first started trying to do a character writeup, I let it run away from me in a hurry. It can be hard to concentrate an idea down far enough, where it's at the point that most of what's left is easily recognizable and makes good sense outside of my own head. /b/ is a beast that I don't really have enough on to tangle with. I've spent more time loathing it's incursions into /d/ than anything else. Not exactly the best source of inspiration for basing a character on. Especially considering the diversity of the board.

No.21908
>>21904
One of the big things I'll argue, though, is that /b/ doesn't hate. Hate is only an observational conclusion based on what /b/ does. But he doesn't cross the road to punch you in the face because he hates you, he does so because he thinks it'd be funny. He's sadistic and cruel, but not hateful or spiteful. In fact, one might think of /b/ as one of the most animate and happy boards, if only if you understand /b/'s own twisted logic.

He doesn't only go out of his way to be cruel to you. he can also go out of his way to be (kind of) a stand up fellow. He doesn't do good things because of good intentions, but only because 'it was funny at the time'. He's the kind that'd kick the school bully in the dick and laugh, if only because he perceived it to be funnier to make the big guy cry, rather than the runt said bully was smashing in. He's the sort to go after the biggest junkyard dog asshole he can find, just to get emotionally gratified knowing he's a bigger asshole.

I guess he doesn't interact with too many boards except /o/ (for motorsports) and a friendly rivalry type with /fit/, or he's pissing on /mu/. /a/ picks on him a lot.

/b/ has had Lithursday for a long time. ED has an article about it, which includes instructions on how to evade the Jpg/Rar prohibition.

Familial relations should be avoided, just because it cheapens the relationships between the characters. (I.e. /i/ and /ic/ have an Unwilling Mentor/Persisten Pupil relationship which is superior to brother/sister.)

Keep in mind that the new boards haven't been stable for long enough to represent them well. /new/ being a zombie strikes my fancy, /adv/ should be "a therapist with her own mental issues," /int/ might be a cultural anthropologist or something, /lit/ being a not-slutty librarian to foil /rs/ works out well, /sci/ should be a bit of a mad scientist (DIY board?)

I figured somebody would bring this up.
I really don't want to discourage people from contributing, but I was hoping we could get more work done on the boards we have been focusing on first.
The boards that popped up recently aren't even a week old yet. How can we presume to accurately personify something we have so little experience with?
I'm not saying that they shouldn't have characters, I just don't think that they warrant much attention at present.
We've already got a laundry list of boards that we haven't done, and frankly, I'm okay with leaving that list where it is for a while.
In my opinion, it is better to focus on what we know well, so that we can do a better job in how we represent it.
Once again, I'm not trying to discourage contribution, I'm merely asking for focus.
If we insist on having every board personified, and all to an equal degree, we are going to have trouble making any progress that is visible from outside of our little group.

Guys, I was thinking. /h/ is an essential and significant board on 4chan, right? So far any personifications have gone as essentially a more explicit /s/ or /e/. Lets not however, forget the true meaning of hentai, shall we? What if /h/ personified not so much the content of the board (as /d/ and /e/ would) but rather those who cohabited it (as /a/, /g/ /v/, /co/ and all the others do). This way we could solidify /h/'s role. He(?) would be a very welcome member to the cast, in my opinion. It's ludicrous to present a certain incarnation of 4chan while neglecting /h/, no?

yeah, /h/-tan isn't really fleshed out at all. We've been working under the assumption that /h/-tan becomes extorted to being /d/'s model and having /h/-tan be a perverted anime nerd would force a re-think of that.

Me too, I feel like /3/ should be /ic/'s younger brother... of course they'd absolutely hate each other...

/3/'s population is half underageb& CG noobs, half working professionals that don't want people to know they post on 4chan (this results in them not posting their previous work that often, in hopes they can't be recognized). So I guess a younger guy that's really good at what he does? But doesn't show his CG work unless he deems them worthy? Or trying to brag to /ic/ but he doesn't give a damn... Anyways, being a CG snob is a must.

He worships Avatar and has no idea what happened during the movie if you asked him. (But he's secretly James Cameron, or pretends to be).

Lastly, /co/ probably would hate him with all the 2D vs 3D animation rage threads happening all the time. Him yelling "YOU RUIN ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE WORLD" at /3/ comes to mind (even though technically he's not to blame).

Now I'm thinking /3/'s James Cameron alter ego as a villain for /co/nrad but then again it's 3 am, I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about.

No need to apologize.
I'm more concerned about us spending time on characterization than maybe putting some art out there.
Art is the biggest attention grabber, and anytime somebody comes up with something new, it renews interest in the project.

so, about /b/: every time he appears he's not introduced or labeled in any way and always looks different and even acts differently (maybe he has some consistent element like weird eyes). If the rest of the cast is standardized, then /b/ always being "that other guy" would work well.

No.22538

he should look the same physically but you could always have his "style" changing, different hair styles and clothes everytime or for a more artsy solution have him always being drawing in a style other than the other characters

No.22540
Guys, you need to start working on the more obscure boards too. The plan here should be to get down all the characters, write stories and at the same time make tryout comics, then once all is agreed on proceed to making a manga/comic and maybe in 100 years we'll have an animated series.

Now,
/sci/ always wears a labcoat. He is male, 25-ish, brown hair. He is friends with /rs/ because she is a librarian and always helps him find his books. He is fairly young, friendly with everyone and helps /c/, /i/, /toy/ and /cm/ with their homework and as well other board-tans whenever they need some scientific information. At night his special power is to become an evil scientist. From his lab are often heard explosions, mad laughter and small creatures escape that usually end up in /an/'s caretaking (this would explain where she gets the weird animals) or in /ck/'s pot. Is usually very curious and takes samples of random stuff to "analyse later", such as /d/ weird secretions, and always tends to calculate the probability of stuff happening to a very exact number.

i'll throw my hat in on /sp/. I'm not gonna insist on him not being huge, but athletic/thick is good. He doesn't have to be a Rob Liefield character but he should probably have some differences over the other characters on the board. There are some references to /sp/ memes here, so no one will understand this. But still, here goes:

/sp/ was a star quarterback in the Internet Football League and was playing the game of his life in the championship game up till the point he needed to score a touchdown to win. All he needed was to get a first down. He looked, and saw someone open, but immediately yelled, "FUCK IT, I'M GOING DEEP!" and threw it downfield. It was intercepted, he lost the game, the team's perfect season was ruined (lol 18-1), and /sp/ became a laughingstock. No one wanted to sign him after what he pulled in the championship, so the down on his luck /sp/ hangs around 4chan House as a place to stay until he can get another shot.

He is a sort of friendly rival with /fit/ and for the most part can be cool with /trv/, since most athletes travel a lot. He gives /lit/, /sci/, /tg/, /toy/, /co/ and /a/ a lot of shit because of their subject matter, and mostly he and /mu/ are at each other's throats. /sp/ also hangs out with /o/ a lot (lol nascar/f1), but for the most part keeps to himself.

If all else fails you could probably make him look like Tim Tebow, or Brett Favre but as a placeholder, /sp/ looks like rax. Picture related, it's rax.

A bunch of drawings were uploaded to the shimmie, in case you're missing out. There was a more "standard" design for /cgl/-tan, but I'm not really against this kind of character that has been created, because there's only so many "well, she's an ornery [hobby] nerd who looks like every other animu character in existence"

Besides, /cgl/-tan AKA Bagman come with at least one running gag: "how does he eat/drink/see if he always wears a paper bag?"

Other characters would just ignore the bag, saying something about how good /cgl/-tan's costume is. The interpretation of what this means is up the reader (cosplayers don't pay attention to how they don't look like the character? it doesn't matter? /cgl/-tan just looks like everyone?)

Wait, wait. I think I've got it. A Compromise.

/lit/ is a female English major working at a book store because as everyone knows, you can't do shit with an English major. She spends her free time browsing through the books so she doesn't have to go home and realize her life is going no where. She has a novel she's been working on since she was 14 but kept getting scrapped and rewritten due to changes in her personality.

At her core she's the biggest elitist in the 4chan cast and as a result she often turns down any semblance of romantic advances. She keeps only the few friends that tolerate her bullshit, /x/, /tg/, and /co/. Though, /co/ and /lit/ often fight with each other whenever /lit/ brings up cape comics or when /co/ brings up Gamer Girl or Twilight.

I have all the images (and most of everything else) backed up. I was going to make an archive of it and put it up, but then I got lazy, because nothing is organized. I suppose it wouldn't take much to run some sort of image-duplicate-search and throw everything into one folder.

Current host is down, probably for good.

What does the future hold for 4chanhouse.org?

Well, I have all the images saved locally (and some of them were never actually uploaded to the Shimmie), so that's all good. The comments on the images will be lost unless I can get a database backup, which is possible but unlikely. There wasn't anything too important there.

Discussions will probably be retrieved to a certain point, but most of it was just me talking to myself (and some other people posted too, I guess).

fit: unexpectedly mild positive response. was expecting some outrage at being the bottom to /fa/.
a few suggestions that he should be a fat guy trying to be fit.

fa: a positive response. i guess they like looking at themselves. and not surprisingly want more.

a: seem familiar with their tan, and comics of. no comments or suggestions made.

c: a curious anon said "thank you, c. now i will never be happy until there is a 4chan anime" . interesting.

k: mild response. http://boards.4chan.org/k/res/5773527
a few prodded at the idea of being ridiculously over-bearing with weapons, especially the strange ideas of weapons - eg. bear calvary, Rocket Propelled Chainsaw. they seemed to like the idea of ironic humor, not unlike one liners from spaghetti westerns.

po: the dead board it is, asked if there was any paper craft of /po/tan . lol .

jp: perhaps it was how i worded it, but it was a negative response. did not like their tan, and seemed not to want one. there was one suggestion that the tan be some unknown creature that never leaves his room and just wants to be left alone.

cm: no response. 'spose the few tan pictures i weren't homolust enough for them. there aren't many /cm/tan appearances after all.

w: slight positive response. i imagine /w/ being a weeaboo computer arts designer. /wg/ not liking anime. but eh, ideas.

http://boards.4chan.org/y/res/1241286#1244143

There were some images that were not on the shimmie, but are on there now.

/r/'s beetle/eye symbol reminded of of the psychic symbol from the pokemon TCG. Maybe the delivery boy society has a series of secret rules and deep connections. Even though /r/-the-board doesn't always deliver, having /r/-tan "(almost) always deliver" seems like a good encapsulation of the whole concept of "ask-deliver-fill" that we've all experienced. I don't really see much else for /r/-tan as a character, but the delivery aspect would make him more appropriate for including in storylines.

/rs/ is probably involved with it somehow, and /t/ might have been high-ranking during his time as an AIR-PIRATE. (Now that I think about it, those three characters would be good to use in case something about totally legal file sharing comes up.)

Ah, the /i/ and /ic/ living together with some "mom" is an old idea, back when they were Mad/i/son and D/ic/k. They used to be brother and sister, but we've since moved away from actual familial relationships to more interesting things. None of the board-tans are directly related, although they could have been "childhood friends" or they could have awesome relatives (who are not part of 4chan Hosue). The reason for it is that this just adds another level of clusterfuck and potential disagreement. You can try to convince me otherwise, though, if you want (or just ignore me completely).

Individual room designs have not actually been addressed, but each of them probably lives in their own room, unless there's a good reason for it (notably /c/ and /toy/ share a room). /ic/ probably has a bunch of art stuff and half-finished canvases and whatevers, and /i/'s room looks like a messy girl's room, with scribbles and other assorted items strewn about. (Girls' rooms can be more messy than boys' rooms, true story.)

Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior: Has a deep desire to be right constantly, which leads to long arguments. Verbose and contrarian. Knows math well, but constantly tries to disprove things. Obsessed with Carl Sagan. Likes to argue about religion.

I wrote up a post but it went away ;_;

I'll be moving to a house with no Internet on Saturday (I don't know when I will get Internet, and the moving thing has kept me busy), so I made a guy named skoobadoop a mod so he can make sure someone doesn't flood all the boards with unrelated penises when I can't be online. In retrospect, I probably should have asked for mod volunteers here, but skoob is a pretty cool guy.

Uploaded a bunch of stuff to the shimmie, and there are a couple people posing on the boards. hopefully more people will post!

The perfect /m/-tan would be a character in a bright flashy flight suit wearing a helmet that completely obscures their face and gender.
A running gag being that the character's gender is never outright stated, and somehow eats, drinks, brushes their teeth seemingly with the helmet on.

BIG DRAMA LATELY!

Apparently in the aftermath of /co/ and /ck/'s breakup, /co/ decided to steal /x/ away from /tg/. /tg/ would have none of it, and the two faced off in an epic brodown, stalemating.

/x/ showed up, told both of them off, and decided to run off with /k/.

Something here demands drawing.

Yeah, I saw those threads, but it was probably some troll. I think the way it works is if you want something to be included is you write about it, or draw somethi- oh wait...

re: 1d4chan:
>So yeah, the server has been misbehaving for a few days. Also I have limited internet access. These two problems are unrelated but their tag-team action makes it difficult for me to fix the site within a reasonable timescale, and the server failure is likely to recur until I work out what's causing it and how to fix it (which is again difficult thanks to the limited internet access) and so more unplanned outages should be expected in the coming days. Hopefully this won't cause anyone significant problems.

It has been a while since there was real attention for the boardtans. Not much you can do unless you want to take the stick to the beehive and attempt to start something on /a/, /co/, /tg/ or whatever.

I'm not really one for bringing attention to things... if there's a board-tan thread going on that I see I'll probably post in it (as Anonymous), but /b/ is probably the only board I would make board-tan threads in. Most of it is because it's super-meta and not-board-related stuff tends to ruin boards.

There were some cosplays at PAX, but it was vidya cosplays. Although there were quite a few 4channers there in the first place.
