Kum-El

From Egs Mayhem

Revision as of 11:02, 25 March 2008

Kum-El is both a Bunny and a character within the Mayhem Forum.

Kum-El the Author

Kum-El the Author is a Marine currently stationed in Hawaii. While this is kind of nice, it's also on the opposite side of the country from home, which is in New York. She (yes, she) is involved in several of the roleplaying threads currently active on the forum, as well as a few that have fallen by the wayside. She also has a tendency to hand out pewter figurines to people on birthdays and upon reaching post count milestones. These usually take the form of the EGS cast, but there are variations.

(She's a marine!? OMGasm! - Jesse)

Appended Notes:

Kum-El has realized/decided he is transexual. (Kum-El: Possibly the only one in history to be so thick that it took him 25 years to get it even with all the rather obvious signs.)

• Nobody else has really been surprised.

Kum-El is adorably cute, though he will argue the fact at nauseum.

Update on 09/03/2007: Kum-El is still adorably cute, and has since given up arguing the fact. (Kum-El: If only because I'm never going to win the arguement.)

The Author's dad after finding out: "Now I've got the son I always wanted." (It sounds better if you know my dad and can picture him saying it in a half-joking voice as he gives me a hug.)

The Author's mom, same timeframe: "We thought you were going to tell us you were gay." (Even my -parents- knew something was up before I did...)

Kum-El the Character

Kum-El the Character is the younger brother of one Kal-El. In addition to his Kryptonian name he's known variously as Kent, E.C. and 'Hey! You in the Superman shirt!'. Having spent some time with the CRFH!!! Boardies before migrating to Mayhem, he's developed a couple of extra abilities, thanks to the Board's ambient weirdness. The main two are pockets that seem to be linked to a version of Hammerspace, and a 'convenient skylight' that can appear wherever it's needed, regardless of whether or not there's actually a ceiling.

Currently he's working at Kylen's Bar as the bouncer.

He recently married his high school sweetheart, though Mike and his friend Adam had to come grab him from the Bar to make sure he was on time for the wedding.

Various events at Fort Mayhem have led to a Plushie version of him, now named Zan-El/Brian Kent.

Misc:

• Kum-El Staranos: A dimensional alternate of Kum-El who grew up in the Star Wars universe.
• Edward Christopher Kent II: Usually called "Chris"; the future son of Kum-El the Character, who appears in the Grassvale Town RP.
• A running joke among several of the other RPers is the seeming inability of Kum-El the Author's characters to stay single for long.
• Kum-El appears in Heroes of Mayhem as a half-Kryptonian accidentally turned into a female.
• Kum-El is a rabid fan of Ed Bunny, PI and appears in it as Kum-El the character.
• The reaction of pretty much the entire forum to learning Kum-El the Author's gender was "Kum-El's a girl?" (Kum-El: Thus proving that the entire forum's brighter than me.)
• Now appearing in Aspects as Sir Kum-El, who, naturally, is paired up with 10 in accordance with the Laws of Mayhem
• Also appearing in These Colours Don't Run as Kum-El, bodyguard of "The 'Smith", Ten.
• A member of the crew in KylenPhylar's pirate fic, Wolf of the Seas.
• Yet another appearance as the dragon Ecke in TingYi's fic.
• Now the GM of two RPs, Meta-Human Twilight and Welcome to the Jungle, sign up today!
• I've got a Deviantart page! Go check it out, please... [1]
