Fried Chicken

If you think fried chicken is the best shit ever, you haven't tasted real food. Yes, it's tasty, but it doesn't compare to proper cuisine.

More cringe! Including bronies and other disgusting human vermin.

Is this a quote? If it's not, it needs to be.

You quoted it, so now it is.

"Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi" - Orcish Mercenary RP [Sheets]

A work in progress.

Name: Khat-ar-urdesh, known as "Thorn".
Age: 26.

Appearance: Thorn is pretty unremarkable for an orc, standing a little over six feet. His skin is the typical dark mottled green-brown of his race and the same goes for his eyes, which are deep-set in his face and difficult to see beneath his strong, prominent brow. He wears his long black hair braided down his back. Thorn's face is permanently set in a fierce, disapproving scowl, even by orc standards, matching his prickly personality -- the namesake of his nickname. Instead of painting uniform parts of his armor red, swirls and strokes cover his breastplate, greaves and right shoulderguard. His full-faced, visored helmet, wreathed in the shape of a shrieking ghoul, is unpainted, leaving the black iron bare.

Skills/Abilities:

- Swordsmaster: Thorn is supremely skilled with falchions, dual-wielding them in battle, eschewing the use of a shield and relying on his skill to parry and disarm his opponents. He possesses unusual finesse for an orc and takes pride in this, but it is the greater strength and speed that his orc frame gives him that allows his blades to punch through armor and rend his opponent's head asunder.
- Indomitable Duelist: Having a habit of seeking out the enemy's most capable soldier or commander in battle and fighting them one-on-one if a battle descends into disorganized chaos, Thorn is driven by the desire to prove himself superior to the best warrior he can find among the enemy ranks. He doesn't back down from a challenge and his determination spurs on the orcs by his side to greater feats of fearlessness and bloodlust.
- A Sliver of Quicksilver: Unusually fast and agile for an orc, Thorn often leaves his enemies dismembered before they even know what happened to them and can almost match an elf blow-for-blow. His reflexes and ability to think fast on his feet contribute to his skill as a swordsman.


Equipment:

- Thorn's most prized possession is his pair of matching rhyming falchions. The blades are perfectly balanced and were forged specifically to fit his tastes years ago, and he has treated them well. In orcish runes, a phrase has been etched into the blades. On one falchion it reads: "To live is to fight, to fight is to live, to die fighting is to live," which continues with: "Orc of this world, curse only peaceful death," on the other blade.
- His armor, which is fairly standard by Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi standards aside from its custom paintjob (see Appearance section).
- Thorn's helmet, however, is special. It is fully-visored and crafted in such a way that the face of the helmet looks like a shrieking ghoul, inspiring dread and fear in Thorn's enemies.

History:
(You can invent a tribe, name regions and countries and cities and so forth to pull this one off, but most important is how they came to Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi and where they served in the unit.)

Relationships and Acquaintances: Perhaps some of the characters know one another, list those acquaintances here. Talk to each other in the OOC about it.

Holy Shit Turt and Zed are like Twins...

Someone on here once claimed I have Ellen Paige's smile.

You know, after thinking about it for a few seconds, I agree with that.

It's a simple matter of the genuinely intelligent being able to recognize that there will always be someone smarter than you. Humility is a virtue that comes with self-awareness, which is the true hallmark of intelligence.

Dependent personality problems ugh!

Most people feel this way. To your friends and everyone else who has seen you in your 'confidence mode', you don't feel pressured to prove anything. They've already seen what you're like when you're at ease. Strangers and new people don't know anything about you so you feel the need to prove yourself which has the adverse effect of making you insecure and awkward. It's perfectly normal.

It also means that you're not confident in yourself at all. True confidence comes from within, not from outside validation.

I'M SO BAD AT MTG

Is this good advice or terrible advice? Can't tell.

She's being sarcastic. Normal people don't start off being good at something (there's a reason terms like "child prodigy" exist -- they are aberrations). Everything is an acquired skill and practice makes perfect. You're not good at building decks right now but if you keep doing it, you will be eventually. Just like everyone else at the event who beat you. It's their experience building decks in general, not their (lack of) knowledge of the specific cards that were used, that mattered.

Bahahaha, that third one. Great example of edgy tryhards who hate on religion just because that's the cool thing to do in their internet social circle.
Also, here's another cringe-inducing image related to the first one.

Being a frequent redditor I've seen this quoted way too often. I can now no longer take any quotes about intelligence seriously at all.

Insult the person above you.
