Talk:The Birchman

From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe

One of the best Virtueverse entries I've ever read -- exceedingly well done! How do I nominate someone for "featured article" status? This is flippin' great! Bravo, bravo, bravo! -- SusieBot 12:31, 23 November 2007 (MST)

Wow, The Birchman is a great character with an incredible (and scary as hell!) bio. This character will give me nightmares and I will now fear not recycling in the future! -- Ultimogirl 4:01pm, November 23 2007 (EST)

Awesome in plant form! Truly a modern-day horror (which isn't exactly easy to do these days.. in any medium). All the more impressive for pulling it off in a Superhero MMO! -- Mindswipe

Wow, thanks all! I never expected this much positive feedback for the entry... I really appreciate it! And, Susie, I think UHOVU uses their forums for nominations. It makes me happy that you feel it is worthy! Thanks a bunch! --Quindorrian 08:49, 24 November 2007 (MST)

This is an almost perfect entry, in my estimation, save for the actual pic of a mutilated body...which I find to be in very bad taste and actually distracting from the rest of the story. --Chaoshornet 06:39, 25 November 2007 (MST)

Thanks for the feedback, Hornet. I guess it is a fine line of what to show and what not to show. The descriptions ::of the Birchman's murders are pretty horrific, so, really, the body is just a visual representation of it. I wanted to try to go over the top without coming off as trying to be cheesy with the gore. If enough people say they want it removed, then I will. If everyone thinks it really does detract from the profile, I'd rather remove it so as to continue the suspension of disbelief in the character's horrors. Just keep in mind that this character is designed to be more in line with Image Comic's style of gory villain. I know some Spawn comics in my collection that are pretty gory, so I kinda wanted to go along those lines. I value any opinions on this matter. Thanks! --Quindorrian 08:46, 25 November 2007 (MST)

Wow. Just... wow. This is a great character wiki. - Coldbone

Honestly, I have to be a dissenting voice. There's a lot of work here? But it failed to engage me, interest me, and make me want to read more. I kinda just went: Right, evil plant guy, and moved on. --Talen Lee 04:24, 26 November 2007 (MST)

This and your Captain Coldsnap entries are awesome! Reading this actually sent chills down my spine. Great villain, one of the best in the Virtueverse! And don't let the removal of those pics bother you. It is just a good without them. Grae Knight

Thanks Grae! It means a lot to me that you feel it is compelling. With all the haters, even just a few good enthralled readers is enough for me:) I hope you also enjoyed the clever tie-in with Lord Grae:) --Quindorrian 21:08, 26 November 2007 (MST)

Very fantastical. You are a great character creator. --Cyphre 07:25, 21 June 2008 (MST)
