You are 8-bit
« on: November 02, 2012, 09:31:08 pm »

You are 8-bit. You are no ordinary 8-bit character. You hunt glitches. You travel in between games, seeking and destroying various software errors. You don't know why you do this, and you don't know how you resist the glitches. You just do.

You were based off an actual character originally, of course. Who was that? How was he or she changed in order to hunt glitches?

The little ball in Pong; it absorbed Kirby's powers to absorb stuff and a goomba's power to kill stuff it touches. Its ability to alter its velocity consciously is still under development.

Iji.

Reverse engineered the Null driver and incorperated it into her nanofield. Hunts glitches by harnessing their own power.


... At least I think Iji is 8 bit.  16 bit?

Spoiler: 8 bit, right? (click to show/hide)

(Roll for character:3)
Iji. That's who you are. Or at least that's who used to be. You don't really know who you are though. You saw Iji once. She looked like you, so that's your best guess. But something was off about your appearance.

Oh well, looks like there's another glitch on the rise. In... Simon's Quest. Damn it. This is going to be difficult. Sighing, you close your eyes and feel the void overtake you and take you right to where you need to be. You land on the 8-bit dirt, sending pixels flying. To your right... Town. To your left... Random pixels. Easier than you though.
