Hyperbole is a twenty-four year old Australian. She is unemployed but is currently working on a community project minding children after school hours.
She still lives at home with her mother because it's cheaper to do so. She has never played a P&P rpg and got into the world of Forgotten Realms through the books (yes, you can take that to mean that she tolerates the bad literature that has come about from that source and has even read the first of those horror novelisations without flinching) and was later introduced the Baldur's Gate when her brother and his computer moved in for a while. She has since gotten her own computer and bought copies of BG2 and ToB (although her copy of BG1 is a hand-me-down from her brother) and is totally hooked.
She has a collection of alter egos who make her life difficult - some of the loudest of them are her Bhaalspawn - or as another of her alter egos called them, the Bhaaltwits.
The Voices Inside
Hoyo Attic! It's me, Hyperbole, The Exaggeration of ยงtrange and all my Twits! Say high to the good folks kiddies!
Mimi : Don't call me a 'kiddie'!
Caella: Or you'll get a deathspell shoved down your throat.
Kali: *Giggle*
Mich: Am I a 'kiddie'? No! Yes! Twit! Dweeb! Who are you calling dweeb you idiot? You - you twerp!
Arroc: Mich.
Mich: Sorry. Sometimes I can't keep control of them.
Narri: Pity you can't punch 'them' in the nose.
Hala: That's your answer to everything isn't it?
Narri: Yes.
Hala: You're worse than Cae!
Narri: Watch your mouth!
Hala: If I could do that I'd be a beholder.
Hyper: Oh dear. So you've seen what I live with, what about you? What sort of voices do your Bhaalspawn have to live with? We all know the division between our Bhaalspawn's conscience and the voice of the Father but what about the other voices in there?
Narri: Is there one that reacts first and asks questions later?
Caella: What about the darkest parts of their souls? The darkness that isn't just Daddy Dearest's voice?
Kali: What about that part of them that is laughing at the world?
Arroc: The quiet wisdom deep inside?
Hala: The self hate, the shame?
Mich: The confusion, is there many voices inside?
Hyper: What sort of other voices are clamouring inside? Are their many? Or don't they have to worry about these voices? What about their companions? What internal conflicts they have? Listen to the voices inside and see what stories you find. As always, off topic stories are quite welcome and we of the Peanut Gallery will be eager to see what you come up with!
