Why don't we write them ourselves using third person perspective? Throw in a few injokes as well and I think we'd have it.

Re: The Wesnoth Forum Faction Signup -Closed
Right now the descriptions are sort of placeholders. For example, I drummed up a description of my unit based on the sprite (Why am I posting this? ):
But I like Zero's suggestion, since people are bound to know more about themselves than anyone else ever could. Why don't we try that.artisticdude is very large, very muscular, has a giant paunch, no understandable method of communication other than the occasional growl or roar, and has no concept of hygiene whatsoever. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

So... start posting your descriptions, people!

Re: The Wesnoth Forum Faction Signup -Closed
Should we write about ourselves, or make a description of the kind of units we think our sprites will be?

Re: The Wesnoth Forum Faction Signup -Closed
Whichever you want. Or a combination of both would also be good.

Pete has a horse, Pete has a sword, Pete is a troll, a fire-sword weilding horsetroll. Like my description?

Here's mine:
Sur.nhm's past is shrouded in darkness. He just appeared there one day and pledged his services to Inferno8. Ever since then he use his skills with Fire Magicks, knowledge of Shamanic Magic and his natural cunning at his master's whim.
I'm not really around any more, but you can find me in TvTropes.

An attempt at my unit's description (Pirate banter is the absolute best! )
Description Dixie wrote:Although quite new on thar forums 'n' touchin' various fields of activity, Dixie ain't no scurvy lad, and although he might look stern 'n' all, avast 'fore ye cross the line or ye'll be keelhauled 'fore ye know it. Sprogs, lilly-livered scallywags and squiffy ninjas, beware the black spot.

Zerovirus spends most of his time in a cloistered tower that few are allowed access to, under which many hundreds of poor beggars beg for some morsel of his work every day (a boon which few receive). This tower, though located in tropical locales, is not at all overly hot, due to his incredible skill in the construction of various air conditioners, though he refers to them as "sprites". Indeed, some say his magic is so strong that he can merely sketch an air conditioner-like item on paper and it arises to life. When in combat, he uses a gigantic sword made of an indeterminate substance that he cannot carry. To fix this, he has constructed a flying device known as the Zeromobile, which carries his most precious air conditioner designs wherever he deigns to go.

I would like to use a limerick from the Limerick Duel forum game thread, courtesy of Frogger5:

I will now promote laziness by stating this wasn't in my original contract, and am fine with whatever the era creator is willing to whip up for his tank.
Eh, Golbeeze beat you to it. I'm perfectly fine with that one.

For PK:
For me:
What do you think of that, PK?PsychoticKittens always attempts to forge ahead into new territories before thoroughly thinking his plans through. This often leads him right into sticky situations which force him to call upon reinforcements. After several of these unfortunate dilemmas, he got fed up with the entire process. Therefore, he invented a tank for himself to plow through whatever troubles lay in his path.
For me:
Golbeeze keeps going and going, even when everyone else thinks he should probably stop. Even when no one seems interested in the crazy developments he is working on, Golbeeze continues until it is complete and then secretly enjoys the success all by himself. It was through this secrecy that he was able to create a steam-powered suit of armor to wreak vengeance upon those who would oppose him.
