Elven Doritos

September 04, 2006, 08:40:11 PM Last Edit: September 04, 2006, 10:23:55 PM by Elven Doritos
Behold! Mild-mannered Elven Doritos, a fairly prolific poster on the CBG, was discovered by the mighty Wizard, Ishmayl, and granted modhood! When ElDo speaks the magic name of the wizard, a bolt of lightning crashes downward. In the process, he gains amazing powers to become Captain Mod, CBG's Mightiest Mortal!

When the magic word is spoken, he gains the following powers:

Imhotep's magic, to make threads disappear and reappear!
Shesha's snakiness, to wield powers over the serpents of the Guild!
Horus' leadership, to keep the CBGuide together!
Mercury's speed, to move threads between forums!
Ares' strength, to scold mean posters!
Yama's judgement, to know where lines lie!
Loki's mischeivousness, to keep his sense of humor!


If you ever need Captain Mod, he is only a PM away-- for official Mod business, put [Captain Mod] in the PM title!





Discuss the fictional origins of your alter egos, or any miscellaneous business, below!
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

I am placing my full support behind this high-quality thread.
I move quick: I'm gonna try my trick one last time--
you know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
when dust move in the sunshine

Of course that turtle aspect is also his weakness.
As can be demonstrated if you flip him on his back on a busy stretch of highway... :demon:

I don't think A'Tuin frequents highways, actually. And considering four oversized elephants fit on his back, I doubt you'd be able to flip him over with just any old friendly neighbourhood trip attack.

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.
