The Quill Is Mightier

[gondolinchick01]

Yesterday when I went out to dinner with li'l brudder and Carrie of DnD fame, the latter began a story which started out, "So I was in English class...". As her English class is taught by an uptight lesbian who looks like a man and is composed of about six slightly... off-beat charter school kids, this intro usually heralds tales of interest and

Marlow: unlockable cahracter, like Shakespear, onl much better at it.

Joyce should have the possibility of a neverending combo if you don't stop him. Just look at his writing.

LOL!!

Your icon is a thing of beauty and WIN.

And I disagree- Oscar Wilde could totally take on Wordsworth in a fight, but he'd fight dirty. Wordsworth would be too much of a gent to win.

My suggestions:

Ernest Hemingway: Double barrelled shotgun

Tennyson: Ceremonial broadsword

DH Lawrence: Whatever he'd use, it would be very long and very thick and very powerful and probably shoot things out the end of it ;)

Basho: Cudgel. Short and sharp :)

Thomas Hardy: Sickle, representing the adverse effect of industrialisation on his opponent.

Wilde's fatality attack would, no doubt, involve wrapping his opponent up with curtains.

Honestly I've always wondered who could possibly be cold-hearted enough not to love teh Wilde. There's just something about his talent and wit that is just extraordinary.

Rudyard Kipling: Blankets with smallpox.*

Charles Dickens: Unleash enormous swarms of words; if you power him up for a moment he sends out repetitive catchphrases.

Toni Morrison: TMI that would knock the opponent dizzy with the wish to bleach out their brains.

Herman Melville: HARPOON, MUTHAFUCKA!

Henry David Thoreau: Swarms of black and red ants.

Joseph Conrad: A move called "Brooding Gloom"--when darkness would descend upon the screen

I could go on.

*I realize he did not, personally, give smallpox blankets, but he had the mentality.

Chuck Palahniuk: Beats them to death with bars of soap.

Emily Bronte: Summons flaming Bertha who, while on fire, falls onto Bronte's opponent.

Daniel Defoe: Uses environment to MacGyver style a weapon and slaughter victim. Then goes into excruciating detail about the entire matter causing the video game player to end his own life.

Colonial literature, anyone :D?

Well, I'm not QUITE her sister. That's what I get from referring to people by blog instead of name. ;)

Also, I have one more!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Would have one move called “Relentless Logic” that would slowly drain another’s HP. He would also have a secret combo move in which he would go insane and power up with the ghosts of all his dead family and crush everything in his path, like if you get the Mighty Hammer in Super Smash Brothers.

HP Lovecraft: Summons unspeakable terrors that rend the opposing character into bloody gobbets of meat.
