ProfessorTomoe
From Egs Mayhem
ProfessorTomoe is the online persona of a person who lives in Garland, Texas. A few people online know who he really is. Others just know him as "the Professor with the shadowy face," or the guy whose marshmallows you should eat with extreme caution.

ProfessorTomoe the Poster
ProfessorTomoe (a.k.a. "the Professor") got his start on Fark.com and in the alt.binaries.multimedia.sailor-moon newsgroup. While he can still be found on Fark and in the It's Walky!/Shortpacked forums, he spends most of his time in the EGS and EGS Mayhem forums nowadays. ProfessorTomoe has a tendency to contribute goofy one-liners, the occasional Hare-Brained Prediction, and lots and lots of EGS-related avatars and fanart. A gallery of his attempts at avatars and fanart can be found here. He is also a three-time champion of the annual O. Henry Pun-Off World Championships in Austin, Texas, and as such he is quite capable of dropping massively brain-damaging puns into the forum at times.
The Professor formerly ran the Waffle House #4741 RP, playing the characters of Vern (as the GM) and Dora until the thread (and the coffee) ran their course. When last seen, the Waffle House was in use as Tactical Operations Centre of the EGS Defence Force as part of Operation Lagomorph.
ProfessorTomoe the Character
The Professor also RPs under the ProfessorTomoe name. That character is based upon Professor Tomoe from the third season of the anime series Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon ("Sailor Moon S"), but with a slightly different backstory (online character bio here). The RP ProfessorTomoe is nowhere near as evil as the original anime character, but he is just about as crazy.File:Http://home.roadrunner.com/~professortomoe/ProfessorTomoe01.jpg
The Seconding!
The Professor is also responsible for unleashing an unspeakable horror upon the EGS forum known as The Seconding!. This began with a post in an EGS forum thread. It grew to become what some call a major irritant and what others call just plain weird. Songs have been written about it (well, one song anyway), and the Professor has built up an irregular comic strip based on it, using scenes from El Goonish Shive. It even spawned a short-lived EGS Mayhem game.
