A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...
The Grempire: A safe haven for all those of sound mind and quick wit. A place where smart creatures can thrive without the harassment of Stoopidity. The Grempire lodges itself in a far corner of the cyberverse where it's practices can go un-abated. If you are looking for Grempire residents, then try the local Cantina. There you may find all the regulars who reside in the Grempire, such as: The Superfreak: A lone gunman, who pilots his ship around the Grempire. Although IP's might seem to betray him to the Aol-alliance, rest assured he isn't dullard material and is in fact one of the good ones. He had a local shop, which has recently disappeared. His flight time takes him away from other Grempire residents for weeks at a time. During his last flight he found himself possessed by another being known as Sgt. Spanky. Sgt. Spanky: New to the Grempire, this odd fellow is a castaway from the planet of the symbiotes. On one of The Superfreak's voyages he came across this odd creature. It quickly bonded with him and hid itself in his sub-conscious. Now Superfreak and Spanky are one. One of this odd creature's hobbies is spamming. Something that gets it's host in trouble on numerous occasions. Lord Caffeine (a.k.a. LC): This Grempire resident might sound like the bartender, but he is not (well except for weekends and holidays). Possessed with a wisdom of Photoshop and lots of free time, he has recently become one of the redecorators of the Grempire. Jurassosaurus: This odd stranger made his way here on a weird plasma current. His knowledge of prehistory and media allow him to make many fun posts. One flaw to him though is a tendency to overdo things. Indeed over half the garbage in the Ord Mantell junkyards are his exceedingly long posts. Utahraptor: Another Grempire resident with a wealth of knowledge in the media field. His knowledge no doubt extends itself further, but most of what is applied is in the field of media. He's known in certain areas of the cyber-verse for the mysterious P&B posts. Posts whose meaning escapes the average dullard and physicist. The Hunter: This Grempire resident enjoys talking with the others at the cantina. Willing to lend an ear and some two cents into the conversation, the one known only as Hunter is a lively, fun resident of the Grempire. *LYNX*: Not much is known of this resident. It is though that her life in one of the more dangerous sectors of the cyber-verse is why she is hardly heard from. Lover of posting, it was once quoted that "she would post more, if she had something to say" The Host: One of the ancient ones. This one is almost as old as the Grempire itself. Other cyber-verse residents have heard of his Sphere page, while others still know of his famous battles with the notorious Alan1 Pandora: Formerly known as Princess Pandora, she has since dropped the name, due to circumstances beyond her control (other uh, things kept on coming on to her and such) She too has a shop in the Grempire. So far the only things to get there are piece of mind. Lately news has spread that Stoop-Troopers from the Aol-alliance have taken her hostage and keeping her in a local IHOP in the hope that she will be so annoyed as to give away secrets of the Grempire. The Grinch: Another ancient resident who resides in the Grempire. Partner of the head man, The Grinch owns a nice set of shops in the Grempire where people can come and talk about this and that. Transformer and Knight Rider knowledge are but some of the stuff that And finally we come to the original resident of the Grempire. One who's vast knowledge of HTML and PERL along with a bunch of other cyber-jargon have allowed him to create the Grempire itself: Gremlin. His origins unknown, but his purpose unmistakable: To provide a beacon of light. A source of hope. A place where regular smart people can take a break from the increasing stoopidity that floods the cyber-verse. Up until now his Grempire has enjoyed a sense of peace. Tucked away from the stoopid people of the world. Recent matters have unfortunately brought the Grempire to the Aol-alliance's attention and now Gremlin must use his powers to keep those who would flood his place with AnnOyInG MisPelD WoRdS, at bay. Known to frequently take trips out of the Grempire in the TGI McFridays ship, in an effort to learn more of the stoopidity that lives around him (and get something to eat at 2AM). Of course these are but a few of the characters that frequent the Grempire. There are others that live here too. Differing species like Trinity T. from the an out of the way area in the Floridian quadrant. Kitty: a relative newcomer whose recent bout with mites has brought the Grempire together. Lt. Ripley, and bounty hunters Chip & Turk are also mentioned here on occasion. Although none have ever actually talked here, it is known that they are residents.
he is known for. Much of the original artwork in the Grempire is his. His tolerance of the stoopid is small and stoopid people run a risk of embarassment when talking to him (much worse if they insult him)
Shadows of the Grempire will continue..
