View Profile guys get of his case! the story doesnt have to be original, but that is no reason to attack the poll
We are simply expressing our right to protest against the inanity of the poll. As explained by Azure's rules:
As for the latter, I don't want people to report polls they don't like. If people hate a poll, they can simply make it known once in the thread, then go away forever. People don't like the "let it die" scenario, so why not let them complain a bit then shut things down? It not only helps give a general idea of what the community wants from a poll, it also gives the poll creator feedback on what not to do.
So yeah, we can say whatever we want concerning our disapproval of the poll topic as long as its not personal.

Where?
I see everything (and by everything I mean every possibility the everything has) but dead parents in there
Do not simply spout random things if you have absolutely nothing to do about them (or to actually prove them (like the thing I asked you on the other thread :T))

View Profile If the question was remade earlier, I would've clicked yes.

So, you posted that just to let us know about something that is written in such a way that you don't even understand what it is about and that you actually have 2 accounts on Stickpage?
Bloody brilliant mate

View Profile Well, the dead parents theme is definitely overused, but I don't think it's unoriginal the entire time, I mean, the dead parents theme can be very expansive in the whole of it. Like my RHG, when he was born, he was the vessel of a legendary demon, and one night the demon broke loose and killed his parents, so really, it is quite overused, but I've seen several different cases of a unique backstory to the way the parents died...

View Profile Dangit Orig, I would have voted yes if you changed the name of the poll sooner. I demand a recount!

View Profile Since the topic has changed, I think I'll rant awhile:
Deceased parents is a really easy way to get a character emotionally motivated to fight (or just angst on top of buildings), it might motivate a hero (or villain) to do what their parents did to continue their legacy, or track down who killed them. Almost every fictional character will have a friend or relative who tragically dies, because it can be suddenly pulled out of nowhere to get easy sympathy from the character. But obviously, it's overused, and 90% of our favorite fictional characters have this, simply because it can easily make even the most boringly unstoppable, characterless badass seem relatable, even if only a tiny bit. It's massive overuse is derived from not many other easily conjured up backstory tropes can top the death of loved ones, and every producer aiming to create the next Superman or Batman just follows the same formula to mold the character, and eventually is basically became the standard.

Man, he edited that page after I pointed it out
His page before was the exact copy of this one

The only part here where he writes about dead parents is in the bottom half of Trivia, which is written in such a way that you need a military decoding machine to read it
Also, if you noticed, the edit date of his thread is 2 days after my post, which is the same day he actually answered back for that post
