Life on Music Banter

[Trollheart]

From an idea I explored in this week's Update Thread. Feel free to add yourself, or anyone else you wish to, and also to edit any entries that are made if you feel something has been left out or could enhance the entry. It is my fond hope that, in time, this thread will help future zoologists better understand the creatures that inhabit the Bantersphere and the dynamics that drive them.


Genus: Trollheartus Longwindus Maximus

Habitat: Bedrooms, kitchens; occasionally ventures outside to gather provisions but will not remain outdoors long.

Characteristics: Touchy, prickly with a great sense of honour and responsibility. Caring and nurturing, but capable of great flashes of anger when crossed. Particularly deferential to the female of the species, or any species. Hardworking and dedicated to its task, the Trollheartus will diligently work on a project to the exclusion of all else, setting self-imposed deadlines it must meet.

Diet: Chocolate, fried food, shepherd's pie. Also sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks. Violently allergic to vegetables, will become physically sick if any are ingested and may in fact die.

Known deities worshipped: Genesis, Marillion, Tom Waits, Dan Fogelberg, Iron Maiden.

Mating habits: Unknown; shrouded in mystery

Interaction with other creatures: Usually pleasant and companionable, able to accept differing views but when challenged on its most deeply held beliefs may become argumentative, combative and snide. Will fight to the death for what it believes to be right. Also known to adopt a protective posture when any female (even one not of its own species) is threatened, despite its poor fighting abilities.

Behaviour: Likes to listen to progressive rock music, classical and AOR as ell as some Heavy Metal. Watches quite a lot of TV. Writes prodigiously, almost obsessively. Is prone to care for the weaker members of its species, especially its sibling. Can be often heard muttering or talking to itself.

Phylum (): Buttlordius Minimus

Habitat: Attracted to bedroom windows.

Characteristics: A creature that was once a great scholar that yearned to gain knowledge. However, upon learning all that there was to learn, they went mad with the knowledge of the ages, and came to the realization that lechery is the ultimate expression of one who is hopeless before the void.

Diet: "Whatever you left sitting out on the counter last night. What was that, pizza? Tasted horrible. Please leave more."

Known deities worshipped: While the only being they worship is themselves, they have an affinity for various idols, such as Thor, Odin, Xena, Deadpool, etc.

Mating habits: "If God didn't want me to jerk off while watching TV, he wouldn't have given me two hands."

Interaction with other creatures: A powerful yet charming type of chaos ensues.

Behaviour: Beyond the lechery, they have remarkably few discernible patterns of behavior. To try to understand them is to gaze into the eyes of madness itself; what answers do you hope to find, when you can hardly find yourself?

Fun idea!

The latin name for a species consists of a generic (genus) name and a specific (species) name, so for Homo Sapiens f.ex, that would mean the species sapiens in the genus Homo.

Just mentioning it since you got "Genus" up there. I would suggest replacing it with "Species".

Yours sinclerely,
Nitpickus toreii

Um, you do realise this is supposed to describe an MB member, right? Just, I don't get who that is you're describing...

Just so everyone knows:
1) You can do yourself or anyone else that isn't already listed, or edit someone who is listed to add stuff
2) You don't have to use only the headings I've put up; they were all I could think of but by all means use others if you come up with them
3) If you can get a cool picture to use, so much the better
4) Some people here have already been catalogued; see my Update Thread for details. Any incorrect names in that area will be amended by me.
5) If it's not clear who you're describing, put their name in brackets or give us some clue.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Trollheart]

Well you're a tiny sea creature so I'm surprised you haven't written up an entry on yourself. Want me to do it? If you insist. Stay chooned!

In my defense, not half an hour ago I just taped up Spider-Woman and Deadpool posters on my door, to go along with my Marvel calender. I now crave more so that my door can be an unsightly shrine to my pathetic nerdiness.
