'Prpl_Mage

The Prpl_Mage joined Charas in march 2005, he quickly shown of his inexperience with forums by hijacking another newb's introduction thread. Purple later requested weapons in the Mini-team section and made a lot of posts in old threads.

Purple apparently became a nuisance to the mods when actually learning the meaning of the rules. He began to spell out the rules to newbs and the mods repeatedly told him that they didn't need any Mini-mods.

He did shape up later on and is featured on many Banners of the site as well as some Charas-based pictures.

'Gaming history:'

Purple's first game announced at Charas was "The Purple Moon" it was supposed to follow the story of a band of heroes and take place after a potentional game that was lost after a virus. Purple moon used FF6(3) styled battlechars that were more or less recolours but also had smaller edits.

The next game announced was "Sprite for Life", it was made for Drakyith's Crappiest Game Contest and aimed towards annoying the player enough for them to think it was complete ********. The tactics worked but Drakyith disappeared and the contest never had a winner although an amusing review about the game can be find in that thread or on Flektor. Sprite for life was improved later on and became a decent and challenging game. An easy version called "Sprite for Life Easycakes" was released and won the "Game of the month" in May 2008.

People usually hear that Purple is making new games although nothing has been announced because of lack of motivation and interest.

Forum history:

Purple usually stuck to the resource and request parts of the forums to begin with and usually never shared his point of view. He only had 25 forum gaming posts before it disappeared from the visuals in the profiles.

Purple helped a lot of newbs with resources and did it freely to begin with. But he became less friendly after being constantly let down by the leavers, the ones that didn't even thank him or the ones that decided to quit their project after a week/month. He is still seen helping newbs but that is mostly with coding these days as he don't find the time to sprite as much as before. He is friendlier to his msn-friends though as he usually knows when they will complete a project or not.

Other

He was seen in all the editions of the Avatar wars as well as X_marks_the_Ed's game version: Bout.

Purple also won the "Art contest" with his Purple mage picture in May 2008. Purple won the "Spriting contest"(2008) on walkover against his friend ZeroKirbyX but all the hype about the final had been long lost becasue of the missing opponent."

In 2009 Prpl_Mage began working on a battlechar template after being inspired by some great people like InsaneJP who made the classic "Sprite sized" template. The thing that finally made him do it was the new member; Valiere's impressive spriting. He worked long and hard but introduced the first look of the sprites. People were impressed by the mix of sprite sized style and human anatomy. He then began making Charas members with the template to promote his work. The full Male template was released April the 24th(25th) with a death pose my by Valiere.

He is still(25-04-2009) Working on the template for female and short characters.

Mayor Election of 2009

Prpl_Mage decided that it was time to take the next step up the ladder. All of the sudden a Mayor Nomination thread was started.

Prpl_Mage's opposition was: Fisherson Uberpwn_w00t X_marks_the_Ed Lucas_irineu Zuhane Archem2 Legacy of elecrusher (The last three mentioned were not so very serious about the nominations but still received a fair share of the votes.)

Prpl_Mage and Fisherson began to throw dirt at each other in RP-tongue which made the crowd thirst for blood. There was no blood though as Fisherson and Prpl_mage were never really enemies.

The voting began and people placed their votes. Prpl_Mage was in the lead by quite some numbers. But people realised who the "two big" were as the thread progressed. The new option to change votes then made the tables turn for Fisherson who were able to catch up with Prpl_Mage. The voting then continued to be really even. They were one post apart at the tightest moment but Prpl also lead by approx 5 votes at a time.

The voting closed later and Prpl_Mage was declared Mayor year 2009. The title was handed over from ZeroKirbyX and the gap created by the voting was soon healed. Prpl_Mage is now (04-2009) trying to get a Charas Chaingame and a Charas RP to start for the sake of the people. The chaingame will probably be in the newly introduced(to most members) Steampunk genre.

First Mayor year and promotion to moderator

Community game June 06 -> At the request of Lucas and some other members another attempt at a Charas community game was started. People were hyped about the Chaingame and waiting for their turn to do something. It seemed like a good idea to toss th idea at the desk while people were in a helping mood. Roles were decided and people began working on it. An old battle system was revamepd and ready to use. One of the team members had to leave though because of a ban. (RIP Dedley) The comminity game is still being worked on. Mostly under the supervision of Shady_ultima.

Chaingame April 28 -> The chaingame was beign worked on and chapters were planned. But the loss of a member casued a small bit of distraction for a while. He made an excellent world map for the game and the community will remember him for that. The first chapter was placed in the hands of Fisherson with Bluhman and Carrionmarksman waiting for their turn. As of now (September 04) Fish's chapter is still not finished.

Moderation April 24 Under the spontanious decision of Midnight certain members were promoted to moderation status. They were given certain areas to moderate over and were supposed to be a part of an art team or such. Fisherson, Valiere, Archem and Gemini were promoted and Prpl_Mage as well. Prpl_Mage recieved moderation powers in the following sections of the forum: Resources, Requests, Contests and Creative arts. And he watches over the members like a hawk over his eggs.
