Character Induced Stupidity

Character Induced Stupidity, or CIS, refers to any natural mental limitations that characters impose upon themselves and reduce their ability to use their own skills and powers effectively. Unlike PIS, CIS does not occur because the plot requires it, but because the character is genuinely that dumb.

Examples of the CIS-afflicted include characters such as Rhino or Jar Jar Binks. Standard CBR fights do not exempt the contestants from CIS.

the purple character

The purple character is charismatic and alluring, but most likely only interested in themselves. They're imaginative, powerful, cunning, probably sarcastic, and most likely a villain or somehow aligned with one. They're not motivated by power, like Reds, or by intimacy, like Blue. They're quite selfish really but hey at least they're hot.

Person one: i love the blue characters, like Percy Jackson!

Person two: i like the purple characters... like Katherine from TVD. The ones that would stab me for chewing too loudly, ya know?

Person one: seek help...

character building experience

Any personal happening that is so absolutely awful, embarrassing, or painful that, in order to make one feel better about it, its very existence must be given some sort of arbitrary purpose, such as "building character."

My home is at least five miles away and I have no car, no money, and no pants. Now, to get there. This'll be a character building experience.

canary

Someone that you let go first to make sure it is safe. Used sometimes by video-gamers. For instance, when the canary gets killed, springs the trap, takes the fall etc, it will tell you where the dangers/enemies are. Origin: coal miners used to keep a canary in the mine, when it died they knew there was poison gas.

Looks dangerous in there, let the canary go first.

Main Character Powers

A lead actor's ability to survive near death encounters. Mainly used to keep star performers alive for the climax of the plot. Blatantly used and overdone in horror films.

Maeve: Noooo, don't go in that dark alley!!!

Liam: It's fine silly goose, she has main character powers.

Charalambos

Charalambos is often associated with Greek Gods, as majority of people gifted with such a name are Greek Gods in more ways than one! Sexually they are considered 'Demons', personalty wise they are considered the God given example! stature wise they are said to be chiseled from Aphrodite's dreams. All in all they are the ultimate being of love.

In Greece met Charalambos and if it weren't for my parents, there is no doubt i would've stayed and loved him for eternity!
