Glinda tho.

*Glares angrily at HD*

Way to judge an entire character off a few sentences. Good going. I'm being sarcastic. It's a really dumb thing to do.

I only judge things when I actually have something substantial to judge. All you do is look at character sheets and immediately judge them to be tropes, or to be similar to other characters, which, frankly, is utterly foolish. And this isn't the first time you've done it, HD.

A character sheet is simply a rough draft of the author's vision of his or her character. It is not the final product, and it is not a true representation of the character.

Most authors use parts of their own personality or background to create the bases of their characters, and from there, they build on that base and the character changes and evolves. That's what makes a story a story. My character sheets are simply that; those bases. So don't judge a character until you actually know the character.

Well yeah, and I can't help the fact that my characters all pretty much talk the same way. Same kind of thing. Don't see what the big deal is to have similarities, and if similarities weren't a good thing then Shakespeare and Power Rangers would have never caught on. It's recognizing the pattern that's interesting to me.

And Crow's talking about exactly what I mean.

Anyways back on topic, I still probably wont have any time to actually write in these things for a good long while, but character making is fun so I'll probably do that. But question: are there "dark champions" or at least those who have champion cards but aren't very nice people. Never mind. Reread that. Neat.

Sorry for insulting you.

I will never comment on anything you write ever again.

Sorry HD. I overreacted a bit. But I've only used that base a few times; Trail, Ethan, Vincent, Varren, Orion, and now Hector, to name most. Out of the thousands of characters I've created in the years I've been writing.

And I only use that base for main characters. So you automatically deeming a character a trope because of what base I use is really unfair to me.

I think I just trigger neo.

Again on topic, do they use duel disks here and can they be hacked to short circuit and incinerate people's cards/decks?

It's my fault HD. Not yours.

And yes, duelists use Duel Disks. I honestly don't know if it's possible to hack them however. I don't remember if anything like that ever happened in the anime, and I would need a precedent before I can definitively say yes. It's kinda a risky topic.

Oh!  OH!  I got this!

If I remember right, the duel disk isn't one solid unit, is it?  I think it connects to a pair of hologram projectors or something?  Either way, the disks of people in duels can definitely communicate with each other.  Seeing as the holograms aren't real or anything like that, they would almost definitely be able to communicate with each other to determine LP and whatnot, seeing as we never see someone manually lowering their LP.  The other option's video analysis of which monsters are on the other field, as well as knowing which cards have been played to buff/deb- it's a nightmare.  They almost definitely have some level of wireless communication.  Huh, I guess they must also have some solid vocal analysis to hear declared attacks and whatnot...

Anyway, if it's wireless, it can be hacked.  However, this would probably be limited to changing LP or monster ATK/DEF, effects, etc.  At most, destroying cards on the field and sending them to the graveyard... probably.  Actually, there's precedence of Kaiba hacking one of the older systems to lower monster ATK, so.  If one system's vulnerable, they all probably have some way in.

As for burning cards and whatnot.  No, almost definitely not.  A system meant to be worn on a person's arm would have a failsafe circuit to prevent overheating, assuming any sane person was on the design committee.  I'm pretty sure the temperature needed to melt cardboard would cause at least 1st degree burns.
