Well,

I shoulda called it...

Why?

Idk... Seems your type

You mean I seem to be the kind of guy to secretly be Wolverine?

You seem like the kind of guy to have a secret superhero/villain identity

Fair.

Irl, I want to write a book about a sword wielding superhero who fulfills the prophecy of Dagor Dagorath (the Middle Earth equivalent of Armageddon) named Dragonhelm.

Noice. But think of a better name. Too generic

It's supposed to be a reference to the Silmarillion, in which a character named Túrin Turambar wears a helmet with a dragon on it's crest.

How about Blacksword (again in reference to Túrin, this character will wield a black blade with shining edges)? Is that less generic?

No! Its not less generic.
What you need to do is find a random language, translate it into that language and it'll be 100x cooler cuz nobody knows it. You can keep the reference, just make it sound cooler

Ok lol. I still prefer Dragonhelm. I mean, most superheroes have English names, so I don't know why you're insisting on it being in a different language

Cuz it sounds cooler. But whatever you want really

No, he's trained after he receives the prosthetics. Obviously a commoner wouldn't have received the training of a government agent before being hired by the government.

Hmm. But the government wouldn't just take any random dude who's metal. He must have had something of his own.
(igtg but when you respond ill get back to you eventually)

I dunno. Somehow it makes the character less down-to-earth, if you know what I mean

Alrght. ITs your book

Fine. How about either:
Mormegil (lit. Blacksword)
OR
Amlugthôl (lit. Dragonhelm)

The second one. Has a cool accent.
BTW you totally don't need to listen to me about this XD

I'm also thinking about writing a parallel book (trilogy, actually; same with Dragonhelm) about a guy who loses his limbs in an accident, and is hired by the government who give him weaponized prosthetics. He would be called Agent Swordsman, nicknamed for the two mechanical swords that slide out of his wrists. I'm thinking about maybe adding in the detail that they slowly replaced every part of him with machinery until everything except his brain had been robotized, but I'm not sure about it.

Ooooh . That sounds so cool... I probably wont read it, but it still sounds very interesting. but that's not a story. Just a background

Assuming we're talking about if he were almost entirely robot, not quite. But, he is highly well trained in the martial arts, and it would be very difficult to damage him, if I were to almost completely mechanize him.

Well if he were trained in the arts when he had limbs, wouldn't he need to relearn with his prosthetics?

True. But every character needs a background.

Should I completely mechanize him, or should I leave it at the prosthetics?

Keep going..... But is he invincible?

This, of course, is where his characterization comes in. I intend to make him and Dragonhelm two sides of the same coin. Dragonhelm, as I see him in my mind, is humble, compassionate, duty-oriented, and essentially a gentle giant, due to his belief in God.. However, he has low self-esteem, and is highly uncertain about the future and therefore extremely cautious. Agent Swordsman, on the other hand, is narcissistic, cold-hearted, gratification-oriented, and uses his powers to advance his personal cause, due to his agnosticism. However, he is comfortable with himself, and is more certain that nothing can go wrong, and is therefore more brazen in his actions. As their stories go along (and weave together in their third book, which their respective trilogies will share), however, Dragonhelm gains confidence in himself, and learns to rest in the certainty that G-d has everything under control, while Agent Swordsman becomes more soft, and caring towards his fellow humans, as he realizes more and more that there is a G-d who created him, and loves him unconditionally. Also, both of them are HIGHLY intelligent, which is why the government hired Agent Swordsman in the first place, alongside his initial military-like disregard for human feelings.

So, in summary, DH starts out as lawful good, AS starts out as lawful neutral, and both become neutral good in the end. Whew! That was a long explanation for why the government hired Agent Swordsman!

(I understand. I should probably go to sleep too. GN!)

Impressive! I like!
Good night

I'll be careful not to get on your bad side now lol

Yeah you better not XD

oh wait, it might be fun to scrap it out with a wolverine...

Just so you know, I also have a metal arm, an adamantium skeleton, and a ring of power. I also am training in Italian dagger fighting.

well I have one.. it's not on my neck you see, it's on its own neck
A shotgun will suffice then lol

Well, I think my skeletal structure could handle that.

Inside my body, of course. It's too big to put anywhere else without it getting in the way

but you have gaps in your skeleton 😂

hmm I was under the impression that it wouldn't be too big...

This is becoming an interesting conversation

yes that is bound to happen when I'm involved

but shotguns are more for coyotes. so don't worry 😂

Well, as wolverine my adamantium skeleton will protect me, so... shotguns won't do much I fear

hmm 6.5 creedmoor?

btw where do you store your skeleton? how often does it eat?

Alright. I accept my victory.

True. Thing is, I'm one of the shortest guys in my age group.

enjoy it 😂

at 5'7" I'm towering over most girls I know lol. both are struggles, but hey there wouldn't be one without the other

In North Carolina

nice! I'm small town outside of Nashville. its a great little spot where you can have a good chunk of land in city limits. I haven't been to Nashville since the bomb...

Ok. I'm more of a Marvel fan myself

I can respect that :)

I'm 5'6 and most of my homies tower over me. Oh, and most of the girls I know are talker than me as well. It's terribly embarrassing, although I make up for it by being the pseudo-jock of the group.

you've got time lol just think big. and hey, David Archuleta is shorter than you so...

Although I love Lord of the Rings more than either

I live in a hobbit hole! jk that would be awesome tho

Isn't that an oxymoron?

eh, depends on how you look at it. a tree can have a hole in it...

Yes it would! Although I think I would rather the House of Elrond

I was thinking a tree house with a hobbit hole...

I also have highly accelerated healing. So that will compensate for any gaps.

Are you calling me short?

ok if I make any more suggestions on how to kill you, it might be a little too much weirdness, so you win.

hey hey calm down. short isn't a bad thing, and you prolly aren't not done growing yet. you are a young wolverine.

Oh. I assumed he was a famous singer. Guess I'm wrong.

Thanks. I'm betting on hitting my next growth spurt by the end of the year.

*me who is already done growing *

oh he is lol. I live right next to Nashville, its easy to bump into people like that (and he goes to my church)

Yes, but hobbits by nature prefer being on the ground to being in the air.

Nice. I highly dislike big cities myself.

Oh! I remember reading about that on Not the Bee!

yeah I have decided that Nashville is now Gotham

I had to look him up XD I'm not aquatinted with pop culture artists, being homeschooled and all.

My parents estimate I'll end up being 5'10, but I hope I end up 6'2 like my dad, although that's unlikely, since my mom is 5'0.

lol Im homeschooled too. I know him. I didn't know he was famous for a while lol, he doesn't like publicity.

time will tell lol. in the meantime don't sweat it.

I don't follow DC, does Gotham get blown up a lot?

um yeah lol

Neat! I live in a semi-rural area, so the closest thing to running into famous people for me is running into some of the more well-known missionaries at the local missionary center my dad works at.

cool! in Tennessee?

I have a styrofoam head...

and the wisdom of greater years

Well, two years isn't that much. And that styrofoam head will make a great practice target. Coincidentally, mine is made of wood
