Name for a Wizard

[Incanus]

So, I found what sounds like an appropriate name for a wizard--and I found it right on my computer keyboard!

What do you think?

--Numlock

He might need one of those additional appellations that so often accompany the occupation, though.

--Numlock the Red

--Numlock the Numerologist

Maybe he has a sorcerous uncle named--Capslock?

 

[wordwalker]

The master of Shift spells and Control magic?

 

[Svrtnsse]

Tabulator of Alternates

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

An Escape artist who will Delete you if you F12 with him.

 

[Aspasia]

...I totally have a Plan to write a novel with programming magic.

Yes, it's going to be completely ridiculous. I'm going to have so much fun with it.

I think you just gave me a great idea for naming my Villain . Now which key would be the most appropriate ...

 

[Steerpike]

There is one called web mage or something like that.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

You mean the one for whom the world Functions at his very Command?


Er… get it? Command key? It's on a Mac. Did we already stop, 'cause I had another one for the enter/return key but…

Yeah… they stopped.

 

[Devor]

I look forward to reading about the great war between the Scroll Locks and the Warlocks.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Yes! Didn't stop! Come, Enter the world from which you will never Re—

Wait. Your computer has a "War Lock" key? Man, Devor's computer must be awesome…

Spoiler: Devor's computer

It is.

 

[Incanus]

"Numlock, you must Enter the dark void know as Backspace..."

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

"Numlock, you must Enter the dark void know as Backspace..."

"Yes, I will Enter the Space Bar!"

"No, Numskull, I said the Back—"

"Numlooooooock!"

 

[Incanus]

Do'h! ^^^known^^^

 

[DaFlaminUnicorn]

"Backspace, the Fn frontier....."

^ This is Qwerty.

Qwerty is a powerful Scroll Lock whose story takes him from Home, through the numbered rice pads, to the End. The name of his story is Control I, and in it, Qwerty must wrestle to break the Caps Lock and Num Lock alliance in order to help the Scroll Locks escape their power and regain control of I. They will shift the balance of power across the board.

Through Control I, Qwerty will grow from <|;{P to <|;{P.

In the sequel, Control U, the newly freed Scroll Locks seek to use their new freedom to extract dominance over their former Num Lock overlords, returning to the backspace of history when they once ruled from the numbered rice pads to the legendary First Function, a magical place that promises Help but under years of misuse, has become corrupted, and is now entered only in "Error."

Control U is a story which underlines the way that we sometimes alternate between nobility and corruption in an effort to save and control the things we care about most.

Capslock vs. Numlock:

Capslock casts a Control spell, forcing Numlock's legs to Function against his will.

Numlock runs to the End of a cliff and leaps. Luckily, he retains control over his own mind. At the Command of his voice, Numlock casts a spell to Shift his body behind Capslock. He Inserts his foot into the crotch of a tree to prevent himself from running off again, then Numlock draws his sword and strikes Capslock with a Double Backslash.

Blood sprays from the evil wizard's back, but soon Numlock realizes that the blood is forming wings. Capslock is changing into his Alternate form: the Wingding!

Capslock says, "Er,¸`N!J!"

"You call that a laugh?" Numlock asks, mocking the Wingding before casting a spell of his own. "EMOJI!"

Capslock loses his wings, and loses control...
He is stunned by the pain of his beating...
But he keeps on attacking himself until he tears the skin off of his face...:skull:
He tries casting a spell to Return to normal, but without lips, he can't cast oop:. Capslock dies.
