Let's start with a relatively straightforward forum game.
Share unusual, interesting, or just plain weird quirks of your character here.
I'll start off: because of LC's tendency to cause collateral damage (by which I do mean her repeated accidental PKs), she now reserves the bottom lines of all of her gameworld essays for an apology to anyone who was harmed in the making of this post. She has never missed a single one.
The sburb.org community tends to make fun of it.

GG uses terms like "bro" and "guy" for both males and females. It is unknown whether it is because he fell on the head one time too many or if it is because it makes his FAQ easier to write as gender neutral. He also took great care to fix his vocabulary so that people could actually read his FAQ, although he makes strange malapropisms from time to time such as substituting "seppuku" with "sudoku". When agitated, GG goes back to speaking like he used to. In these circumstances, he'll excitedly repeat how much he is SO INTO the things that you mention, whatever they MIGHT it.
Lastly, he reverted to using an old handle name from a forum he used to frequent while authoring his FAQ. His first attempt at writing was embarrassing and he wants to distance himself from it.

gA uses inconsistent grammar, capitalisation and punctuation, also he may use British spelling for some of the words, like colour, or armour and so on. The last one is becouse USA never were a thing in his native universe (a weird one), and main superpower of the world had diffrent official language than English. Always capitalises "important" words like "Aspect" or given names, that stems from his interest in occult which only grew after a few sessions behind his belt.
When he gets smashed (for many diffrent reasons), it worsens his spelling. This poor state may (or may not) be a result of activities of his weird Mock Turtle (actually something similar to a pig?) Consorts that are spiking his drinks or food with rectified spirit.
Once, he wrote an article on Space Boards while drunk. Nobody noticed, becouse licking frogs was a thing then.

TT has a strong tendency to call people out for trolling when they say stuff he doesn't believe possible. Yes, even after SBURB redefined his concept of "possible" a couple thousand times.
He's very near-sighted. Also since the whole Page of Space fiasco he has had a weird Maroon/Black heterochromia. He has taken to constantly wear shades (often a Morpheus-style pince-nez) wearing shades to avoid that it's noticed.
He does have perfect grammar. If he starts writing with no caps and almost no punctuation then it's "not-him".
I guess there's the fact that he emotes rarely if ever but that's more because I suck at emoting than anything, haha.
He will often say (or his friends will) that he is nuts. That is a reference to the fact that his [reverberata] is actually made of nuts, bolts, screws, that kind of stuff.
He never posts on the "In memory of..." fora.

TC normally writes with the whole proper grammar thingamabob, even though she's partial to using random made up words or words that kind of make sense even though they shouldn't. Like thingamabob. She also tends to call SBURB the Game instead because she doesn't like saying SBURB because it sounds funny or something. She uses British spellings because that's where she was born and raised. Also she can't understand American terms to save her life she's stupid like that.
Also whenever she feels like she randomly needs to state something or just have some kind of emotion outburst she'll put everything in brackets. Things in brackets have no grammar because she's busy being emotional and having feelings about things. As you do.

WL ships everything and everyone, and tends to get excited a lot. She's the type to take people at their word, no matter how ridiculous that word is, so expect her to defend people from accusations of trolling.
She also dearly misses her sister and doesn't like that the game separated them.

ZI has a tendency to ramble, and will keep talking about anything that comes to mind until and unless stopped. She tends to get better about this near the end of any given session's maturity quests, but that generally accounts for a the end month or two of each session, making it generally useless to anyone outside her session. If she can't remember what something's called, she'll use a generic "thingy-ma-bob" description. This happens far more often than it should.

If MN takes longer than normal to respond to something, it's because you've struck a nerve and she's writing an essay in response. Usually she uses proper grammar and mechanics, but if she's tired/drunk/otherwise out-of-sorts she'll type more casually. She emotes after she's become comfortable with someone; something to do with body language helping the process of communication. She'll get very technical and nit-picky VERY fast and judgmental almost as fast. Despite that, she's determined to be optimistic about this whole mess.
Also she runs around barefoot.

Cl has fairly good grammar, and is a sort of benign Grammar Nazi in that she'll notice the (sometimes atrocious) grammar and spelling of others, but usually won't point it out. A writer in her (little) spare time, she has a good vocabulary and when feeling sarcastic will end up using a whole chain line of huge words, possibly in hopes of completely confusing the reader while still making sense in a linguistic sense. Perhaps it's her own brand of spite, since she is generally a very diplomatic and peaceful personality.

TT has been in the game for several years now, and has given up any hope of getting out the normal way. In his sessions, he focuses on finding other ways out, and has started turning to more dubious sources of info. Most of the people he plays with have a betting pool of when he's going to succumb to corruption, but he hasn't yet.
He tends to be somewhat of an asshole, with caustic sarcasm, a stubborn streak, and a short temper. He's well aware of this, and tends to be self-depreciating with various levels of seriousness. He has little patience for stupidity and close-mindedness. Despite all that, he is very helpful towards new players, and everyone in his session, always willing to lend a hand. In his (very limited) downtime, he enjoys playing video games and listening to heavy metal. He loves to explore, and he explores the entirety of his land and everyone else's at the earliest opportunity. He enjoys all sorts of puns, and occasionally trolls anyone who he can talk to.
His strife Specibus is Axekind, with an Improvkind backup. He plays the electric guitar.

It's worth mentioning (now that I've been reminded) that MN has a zero-tolerence rule for corruption. If there's someone honestly corrupted and what she deems to be too far gone for redemption, she'll try to take care of that player by whatever means necessary.
She wields only Fistkind, though she wants to learn another specibus so she's a little more likely to be effective. Instead of playing an instrument for her Player Commands, she sings them.

CV says "I suppose" a lot. She has good grammar and punctuation but tends to ramble and repeat herself.
She is fairly polite and mostly keeps her opinions to herself. She doesn't mind playing Sburb as she lives for adventuring and fighting. Has a problem with people who sacrifice themselves at a hat's drop.
She's also prone to having issues with Seers and Heroes of Rage.

BN is known to not give a fuck, and types like she's drunk. Truly she just types so fast, her fingers don't move correctly. Her brain likes to jump around when she's typing and makes it look awful. Spaces are misplaced, and things are awfully misspelled.
Also has a habit of just going 'haha' or making 'haha's everywhere

TT tends to have a high opinion of his opinion, though doesn't actually want to present himself that way. Thus, he often makes authoritative statements or corrects others when he believes them wrong, but later gets embarrassed by having done so, and goes back to add qualifiers like "but I may be wrong". He loves to give advice and believes he has information to offer others, but he is paranoid of giving wrong advice and hurting people who follow it.

ED will point blank refuse to discuss philosophy with anyone if they ask. On the flip-side, he can lecture folks for hours on that very same subject when he's the one initiating the conversation.
A Mist glitch in his third session means that Sburb now considers him to be both male and female at the same time. By this point, he basically doesn't give a fuck either way - he'll wear the damn dress, all right?
He tries to type with proper grammar and spelling, but can't really muster the enthusiasm. This typically results in repeated edits to his posts in formats that allow such.
