Sig-Fig Survey

I think it's time we have a Sig-Fig Survey.  Sure we've seen pictures of
everyone's signature minifigures for Castle World and a few of them have
stories to go with them, but maybe we should have a little fun and go into
some details about them. =)  I'm kinda doing this out of my own curiosity, a
picture of a Sig-Fig doesn't *really* say a thousand words, sometimes I can't
tell if they're good guys, bad guys, train conductors, or what have you... =)

So here goes-

1- What is your Sig-Fig's name?

2- What is your Sig-Fig's gender?  (Without a picture of them, it's hard to
tell...)

3- What's your figgie's approximate age? (In human years) =)

4- Is your figgie a good guy, bad guy, or in-between?

5- What class is your figgie?  (Royalty, warrior, wizard, cleric, thief, other)

6- What's your figgie's outlook on life?

7- What are your figgie's favorite things?

8- What are your figgie's turn off's? =)

9- Does your figgie play well with others? (Running out of ideas here...)

10- If your figgie could time travel (go from one box of LEGO to another in
your room), what LEGO theme or sub-theme would he/she like to visit the most?
=)

If anyone has any other questions they want to add on, feel free. =)

_______________________________________________________________

Here are my answers-
1- Halcyon
2- Male
3- 27
4- Good guy
5- Wizard
6- He's like the pizza delivery guy in the movie "Men at Work"... =)
7- Chilling other wizards, listening to music and just wasting the days away,
the occasional battle where he get's to blast his enemies to bits. =)
8- Finding dust on his home, paperwork, heavy lifting, being within 10 feet of
those sticky/oily Town Jr. tires, when the Fright Knights come to his parties
and act all stupid and break things.
9- Yep.
10- He'd probably like to go cruising with the Space guys. =)

Grrrrreat idea!!!!

So here goes-

1- What is your Sig-Fig's name?

Scar, aka Scarlet or Carlee.

2- What is your Sig-Fig's gender?  (Without a picture of them, it's hard to

She's a tough chic. <grin>

3- What's your figgie's approximate age? (In human years) =)

19.

Depends on the POV...

other)

Warrior.

6- What's your figgie's outlook on life?

Justice for all, at (almost) any price.

things-to-do things... err, lemme think, uhh, sailing and talking with Kfir.

8- What are your figgie's turn off's? =)

People who ask questions, discrimination ('specially according to class or
gender; there's no race in lego anyway!), the smell of (dead) fish.

Errr... depends who ;-)

10- If your figgie could time travel (go from one box of LEGO to another in
your room), what LEGO theme or sub-theme would he/she like to visit the most?

Space, and kick some Insectoid &/or UFO... bottoms. Yeah, that's right. ;-)

Other questions...

11- who is/are your fig's closest friend(s)?

(mine: Kfir, Jewel, Dare, in that order)

12- what are some words that immediately come to mind for a new person meeting
your fig?

(mine: determined, cautious, slightly haughty)

Later!

good show, nathan!  great survey idea!

So here goes-

1- What is your Sig-Fig's name?


mephisto crimz

(his last name has been a secret till now, mostly because i didn't know.
;-)  i just thought of it earlier today, even!)

2- What is your Sig-Fig's gender?  (Without a picture of them, it's hard to
tell...)


male

3- What's your figgie's approximate age? (In human years) =)


26-ish, i'd say

4- Is your figgie a good guy, bad guy, or in-between?


oh, he's _very_ in-between. although he was raised in a tradition of the
darker majical arts, mephisto has a boyish innocence about him and strong
sense of values.

5- What class is your figgie?  (Royalty, warrior, wizard, cleric, thief, other)


wizaerd ~ a wizard/elemental hybrid

6- What's your figgie's outlook on life?


skewed due to his upbringing. he's optimistic to a fault, hopelessly
romantic, and he's so vain (he probably thinks this survey's about him)

7- What are your figgie's favorite things?


himself, fire, rare bits, majical robots, dragons, blood tea & roasted
millimy, sleeping, partying, musing, and the cleavage on a female bodice torso

8- What are your figgie's turn off's? =)


violence, slavery, and halatosis

9- Does your figgie play well with others? (Running out of ideas here...)


mephisto had a very isolated childhood, but is begining to learn that he
can make friends.  he is very much a ladies' man.  people with corporal
weapons make him very uneasy, but by the same token, he is blasphemously
casual among other majical entities.

10- If your figgie could time travel (go from one box of LEGO to another in
your room), what LEGO theme or sub-theme would he/she like to visit the most?
=)


are you kidding!?  i can't keep mephisto out of the M-tron pieces! ~ red
and black with a M emblazoned across everything? it is _sooo_ his gig!
mephisto's descendant, mephiso solaris will terrorize spaceworld one day,
i'm sure.

If anyone has any other questions they want to add on, feel free. =)


11~ who would play your figgie in a movie?

craig killborn

12~ who are your figgie's allies from other realms?

scar, so don't mess with mephisto!  er, and don't tell m's girlfriend
saphie, either!  not there's anything going on, mind you.  it's just saphie
is the overly-jealous type.

  guess that's it then!  that was fun!

  later ~ craig~

ROFL!! Now there's one I didn't see coming... that is *much* more than a
coincedence, I'm sure... (just like Miss Scarlet, in the ballroom, with a
knife... ;-)

(I'll tack on the other questions that have been asked, and I haven't answered
here:
http://www.lugnet.com/castle/org/?n=75 )

11~ who would play your figgie in a movie?

Tough one... I said once before that if Shannon Doughetry <sp> died her hair
red, she'd be really good. (As she plays in "Charmed"... NOT as in B.H.
90210 ;-)

Hehe... well, Craig said it for me, and I can add on a few more allies to
that... but I'd rather not, for now. <grin>

15- Who is your fig's enemies/nemeses?

The Lion Kingdom, although no fully-declared, out-and-out war has came up
(yet)... but... who knows.

guess that's it then!  that was fun!

Agree 100%!

I sent pictures of my Sig-Fig to the folks at CW.  He should be posted soon
but until then here is the scoop.


1- What is your Sig-Fig's name?

Sir Andrew Greenleaf "The Black Knight"


2- What is your Sig-Fig's gender?  (Without a picture of them, it's hard to
tell...)

Male


3- What's your figgie's approximate age? (In human years) =)

95 years old (He is a half-elf and thus has a longer than average life span,
this is young middle age for a half-elf).


4- Is your figgie a good guy, bad guy, or in-between?

He is 100% good guy


5- What class is your figgie?  (Royalty, warrior, wizard, cleric, thief,
other)

Half-Elf Warrior (of royal lineage)


6- What's your figgie's outlook on life?

Sir Andrew Greenleaf is the go between, between the elves (forestmen mini-
figs) and humans (lion themed mini-figs).  The humans did little to stop the
Dark Necromancer (Sardok Kron) when he tried to exterminate the elf population
of Krugonia.  The human population generally distrusted the elves due to their
magical abilites and secrative nature.  It wasn't until Sir Andrew was born
that he helped to unite the forces of humans and elves to resist the powers of
the Dark Necromancer.  At one time half-elves were considered undersireable
outsiders since they didn't fit well with either elves or men.  Now Sir Andrew
leads an Army composed of all half-elves in the battle against the Dark
Necromancer.  He hopes he can continue to keep the alliance of men and elves
together until the battle is complete.


7- What are your figgie's favorite things?

Sir Andrew is madly in love with his wife the Lady Nicole and their daughter
Michelle.


8- What are your figgie's turn off's? =)

Sir Andrew hates the intollerance between elves and men.  He sees that their
destiny is united whether they like it or not.


9- Does your figgie play well with others? (Running out of ideas here...)

Yes, except for with Sardok Kron and his evil minions.


10- If your figgie could time travel (go from one box of LEGO to another in
your room), what LEGO theme or sub-theme would he/she like to visit the most?

He would like to go to the pirate theme.

Prince Rupert of the Black Falcons

You can see a picture of him here:

I just opened a BrickShelf gallery today.  You can find it here:

male

3- What's your figgie's approximate age? (In human years) =)

other)

Princess Elisa of the Black Monarch-allied Black Knights.

8- What are your figgie's turn off's? =)

Bad guys who threaten his kingdoms (specifically his kingdom's former-ally,
Willa, and his evil uncle, the Dungeon Master).

9- Does your figgie play well with others? (Running out of ideas here...)

Yes, but only if he has to.

10- If your figgie could time travel (go from one box of LEGO to another in

Pirates or Adventurers.  I'm not sure....  I haven't asked him!  ^_^

I prolly shouldn't be asking this (like I have time on my hands to act'lly

good material in your hands for it...

...if you are, email castle_world@hotmail.com with all the good stuff (your
name, sig-fig, pics if available, links, yadda yadda), and preferably send a
short note to my email (shirid@hotmail.com) just saying "check your CW
email!". <smile, then frown - too much HW, not enuff CW>

Which brings me to a different topic. I should prolly start a new thread, but
this seems like a good time.

Is there anyone out there with a lotta free time on their hands who's willing
to take over CW updates? Craig and I talked (before I even left for .il) and
he mentioned how handling the updates is really cool at first, but gets to be
a lot of work after a while... and that maybe we should rotate it between
people who are interested. Over the summer I had a lot of free time; not now,
though.

Sooooo... if you are willing, either post or email me...

I would be willing to spare time to take over CW updates if you need the help.
However, there probably would be a heavy price to pay for me to take over, I
might just try and make the site more to my style, which might be good, might
be bad =-P.  But if you need the help, I might be able to give you some time.

Oh, and on a completely different and off topic, my army of 13 chrome equiped
paladins is built, but not refined.  I'd have a pic but I have no access to a
digital camera.

I just talked to Nathan McDowell, who said he's willing to handle the updates
for a while. I already gave him the passwords, and although it might take him
a few days to get the hang of it, I'm sure he'll get the job done quicker than
I would. Hehe :-)


Hopefully if my workload decreases later on, I'll be able to free some time to
work on the main page for the CW site; and possibly develop the CWSOTW idea
(this dates back to late June: http://news.lugnet.com/castle/org/cw/?n=204).

Thanks a bunch, Nathan, and also thanks Anthony for offering your help - if
the updates indeed becomes a rotating thing, maybe you could be the
next "webmaster".

Good night!
