Jorlem's current avatar. It is Mathis Bleu, from the Fortuna Saga public sprite sheet.

Jorlem The Poster

Jorlem is a long time reader of EGS, but only started posting shortly before the EOU launched their attack on Mayhem. He signed in at the newbie thread, but was eager to try to help, and left before he got his full share of glompings, and also did not get all of the possible newbie gifts/supplies. Jorlem is a member of the EGS Defence Force. Jorlem is a member of the Loyal Opposition.

Jorlem The Character

Jorlem is a very curious and inquisitive person. His first response to something new and strange is to either ask about it, or try to do research on it, if there is time to do so. This is made easier by the fact that Jorlem is also a speed reader, and can therefore read and absorb information from books very quickly. If there is no time to ask or do the research, he will try to figure out how things work as they go along, if he has a place to start from, such as a computer console. He usually wears a light blue shirt, with an image of a purple vortex over the area where the pocket usually is (If someone knows what this is called, please put it in.), and dark blue pants. Jorlem is slightly less than six feet tall, and has black hair and brown eyes, except when he is using his powers, then his eyes glow purple. When he pushes his powers to their limits*, his eyes turn completely purple (In the same way that the Demonic Duck in the corner of this page has eyes that are completely yellow).

He fought in the first Battle of the Mall, and helped to seal the interdimensional rift that was created during that battle. He is currently on the sub-bridge of one of the recaptured Fanworks.

*Limits to be determined

Jorlem's Inventory

When not in use, most items are stored in a storage space behind Jorlem's back, which is only present when he is not looking.

• 1 TF Gun
• 1 Squirrel Teddy
• 1 Cookie in a shiny wrapper
• 5 cans of unlabeled soda (One was accidentally launched out of a grenade launcher at some EOU robots)
• 1 dead fish
• 1 Elliot voodoo doll
• 1 fire extinguisher
• 1 grenade launcher (With a very large amount of grenades)
• 1 plasma grenade
• 1 plasma grenade manual
• 1 Jetpack (taken from a downed clone of Genghis Khan)
• 1 copy of Tesseracts, Wormholes, and Other Interdimensional Anomalies, by The Teleporter.
• 1 Stabilizer (It is about three and a half feet long, tapers from a foot wide to nearly a point. Instead of a point at the tip, there is a small, concave energy emitter. It has a tripod that can be folded up, and a shoulder strap for easy carrying. It has an opening at the top that a DRACO bracelet or the PFS can be fitted into. It is also, for some reason, a bright orange.)
• 1 PFS (Portal Frequency Scanner. (It can scan sites where there were interdimensional portals, such as DRACO portals, and use this data to extrapolate and then create a stabilization field that matches the one needed for that portal.) It is currently attached to the Stabilizer.)
• 1 Terran Defense Force Mk. 1 Light Infantry Battle Armor, with a zero-G maneuvering pack attached. The maneuvering pack allows for about 10 minutes of constant propulsion in zero gravity. (Picture by Jstone) (currently equipped, replacing regular clothes and armor.)
• 1 Nivenian Impact Suit. It is a dark blue, and is usually worn underneath Jorlem's other clothes, which are usually a similar color. (He's had this the whole time. Yeah. <_< >_> <_< )

Jorlem's Abilities/Powers

Jorlem can create a pair of linked wormholes within a range of about 25 feet of himself. The wormholes are disc shaped, and have a maximum diameter of about 6 feet. The wormholes, once created, cannot be moved, so if the wormholes are needed in a different position or location the current wormholes need to be closed, and new ones opened at the new locations. The wormholes can be opened and closed with just a thought, but opening and closing several in quick succession will leave Jorlem out of breath for a moment. These wormholes have proved very useful as shields, and for redirecting enemy fire, among other things. For the time being, Jorlem can create two sets of wormhole, and move them around without needing to close and reopen them. This is indirectly a result of A Fan's attack on a DRACO portal, which resulted in an interdimensional rift, which weakened the fabric of reality, making it easier for dimensional manipulations, such as the wormholes, to be performed. After the rift was sealed, Jorlem retained these increased powers by absorbing dimensional energy that had collected in the Stabilizer. Also, because of absorbing this energy, the range he can open wormholes increased to about 50 feet, and he can also open wormholes to places that he has been before, such as the mall, or Fort Mayhem. He has also developed a sort of extradimensional storage space. It is possible for Jorlem to exceed these limits, suggsting that they are, at least on part, self imposed. However, doing this puts a bit of strain on reality, and causes devices that interact with multiple dimensions to act strangely.

Emmet

Originally a Bass robot drawn by Ti-Phil in one of his exits from Main's Invasion thread, this robot was then misidentified by Tangent as a type of guitar, or possibly a fish. Jorlem correctly identified it as Bass from Ti-Phil's webcomic, The Volet. Jorlem then scanned the robot for any booby-traps, and finding none, settled on the name Emmet for the robot. Emmet is currently in New Mayhem, but might go to Fort Mayhem later, if Jorlem (the poster) decides to use him there.

Emmet's Inventory

• 1 ID Badge Blank (Insert into Terminal to receive ID
• 1 Low-output Electrolaser Stunner w/holster
• 3 Vouchers redeemable for uniform
• 1 Voucher redeemable for combat equipment; Battle Armor, Assault Rifle, Sidearm. ((One of these, one of these, and one of these.))
• 1 Multi-function Communications device. ((Similar to this, but with a touch-screen. Is used as a computer and personal comm device. Includes a miniaturized subspace locater beacon that is used, in conjunction with the station's space-fold drive, to transport you anywhere in the multiverse. It can also open a comm channel to any other comm device, regardless of universe. It's an IC way to bridge the communications and transportation gap between this station and Mayhem.))

Emmet's Abilities

Emmet has all of the basic abilities Bass usually has, such as the buster/arm cannon, and battle armor, but also has a few additional abilities added on by Jorlem (the poster). He can see through illusions, still being able to see the false image, but also perceiving the reality underneath. He can also detect lies and untruths when he is paying attention, trying to catch any lies. The blasts of energy from his buster will cause more harm to being that are not in their true form, or are not who or what they claim to be.
