Kind of like the Eternal Flame. The highly variable Irritation Factor is dependent on how you feel about 50's era bobbysoxers. (The Influence, Flame, and PowerRating factors assume an Irritation Factor of 3.) GODDESS OF THE MOON AKA WOLFPACK-BAIT Female/Mutie Intelligence **** Contribution to TCE *** Sense of Humor * Creativity **** "Foul"(tm) Factor ** Horniness *** Irritation Factor ***** Literacy ***** Sanity * Pathos ***** Clue 0 Power 0 Influence (Att/Def) 5/7 Flame (Att/Def) 5/-3 PowerRating 7 The PowerRatings v1.0 for GoM read "Much like the moon itself, GoM's various at WIRED CHILD Male/Wolfpack Intelligence **** Contribution to TCE **** Sense of Humor ***** Creativity ***** "Foul"(tm) Factor **** Horniness ** Irritation Factor *** Literacy ***** Sanity ** Pathos *** Clue **** Power **** Influence (Att/Def) 27/17 Flame (Att/Def) 18/12 PowerRating 43 Hell, yes, I'm egotistical enough to rate myself.

In fact, /Warfield was created as an arena for the two of them to duke it out. Akela eventually left with Isaboe when she quit the Already Faltering Edge (still Already Faltering as of this writing). Currently defending our freedom in Korea. I feel safer now. BREEZE Male Intelligence **** Contribution to TCE ** Sense of Humor **** Creativity *** "Foul"(tm) Factor * Horniness ** Irritation Factor ** Literacy *** Sanity **** Pathos *** Clue *** Power 0 Influence (Att/Def) 21/12 Flame (Att/Def) 7/9 PowerRating 19 Breeze has been around forever (almost as long as Pancho's, in fact).

Especially when he burps. Used to be the only 5 star Foul but he's been too mild lately for that honor. Currently doing the horizontal nasty with Chastity at last report, shaving things we were better off not knowing existed. WILDFIRE AKA FRESHMAN Female/Juvie/Wolfpack-aspirant Intelligence *** Contribution to TCE *** Sense of Humor *** Creativity *** "Foul"(tm) Factor *** Horniness ** Irritation Factor **** Literacy **** Sanity ** Pathos *** Clue ** Power ** Influence (Att/Def) 11/11 Flame (Att/Def) 11/6 PowerRating 23 The first juvie.

In fact, I'm thinking of buying him an "Ask Me About My Grandchildren" bumper sticker for Bantha v2.0. Doesn't log on much (mainly because Blackthorne won't let him). Actually he seems to have improved some generally since PowerRatings v1.0. BLACK FIRE Male Intelligence ** Contribution to TCE * Sense of Humor ** Creativity * "Foul"(tm) Factor ** Horniness ** Irritation Factor *** Literacy * Sanity ** Pathos ***** Clue * Power 0 Influence (Att/Def) -5/7 Flame (Att/Def) -1/-1 PowerRating -3 Long the butt of many jokes when he dated a Motionette (the middle daughter, I believe). Still around, keeping his love life VERY quiet.

You either love him (if you're him), hate him (if he's flaming you), or both (most everyone else). But you can't ignore him (unless you get to Tcon, that is). BABYDOLL Female Intelligence *** Contribution to TCE *** Sense of Humor **** Creativity ** "Foul"(tm) Factor *** Horniness * Irritation Factor *** Literacy **** Sanity *** Pathos *** Clue *** Power ** Influence (Att/Def) 14/13 Flame (Att/Def) 11/9 PowerRating 26 You have to give her credit, she's muddled through a lot of abuse over the years. Heck, it's almost enough to make me turn turbo-christian. Given two extra stars on Irritation due to her incredible tenacity during arguments.

Currently in Seattle, where he probably is responsible for Kurt Cobain's death. He can be reached through his Mom, called (would you guess) "Mrs. The Nausiating". MACBETH Male/Juvie/Wolfpack-aspirant Intelligence *** Contribution to TCE *** Sense of Humor **** Creativity **** "Foul"(tm) Factor *** Horniness ** Irritation Factor ***** Literacy ** Sanity ** Pathos *** Clue ** Power * Influence (Att/Def) 11/11 Flame (Att/Def) 12/6 PowerRating 20 A juvie notable for the incredibly long time he's been irritating.

Never have so many been worked up over so little. The weird thing is, with the strength of "Endora"'s prose, styling, and creativity, "she" could have been a vital part of TCE! without resorting to transvestitism. Currently on USA, muttering darkly what bad people there are over on TCE. SWEET JANE Female/Pedophile Intelligence *** Contribution to TCE * Sense of Humor **** Creativity ** "Foul"(tm) Factor ** Horniness ***** Irritation Factor *** Literacy ** Sanity ** Pathos **** Clue ** Power 0 Influence (Att/Def) 8/9 Flame (Att/Def) 5/4 PowerRating 4 She's married, guys.
