Author Characters

Masamune is responsible for mainly these characters, among others.

Traits

Webmaster of Gamehiker.com and Gamehiker Forums. He likes to flaunt his power, even though it is ultimately inconsequential.

Background

Masamune, often known as 'The Gamehiker' founded Gamehikers back in July or 2001. Or so he claims, the truth is he actually founded a site called 'The ___ Spiffy Site', where the underlined portion was regularly replaced with Almost or Nearly or Rather and so forth. It was not until a month or so later that he settled on the name 'Hitchhiker's Guide to Video Games'.

Prior to establishing the forums on the site, he frequented VGF Forums like most of the OGers. It was through the OnGoing Story Forum that he met many of the people who would become Gamehiker veterans. It happened that while he was toying with EZBoard in making a forum, VGF crashed. He quickly offered his board as a 'temporary' refuge until VGF returned. When it was revealed VGF had lost all the posts, Gamehiker Forums became a permanent home for the misplaced OGers. And thus began Masamune's (not quite) tyrannical rule.

He maintains his role as webmaster by being the Keeper of the Passwords and complicating the site with PHP and SQL in attempt to befuddle treacherous staff members (such as Luiigii of the Pipes). In a way, he always planned to take over the OGs. He ran as the Moderator for the OG Forum at VGF and was neck to neck with Vorpal, I guess, I don't remember. In the end no one was made a mod, the site crashed, and Masamune just happened to be running a new forum that everyone vacated to.

Masamune loves parodies too much and while his aren't as funny as others, he still does it anyways. Though his prose style is a little more varied, when it comes to author-based OGs, he typically displays characters as being largely apathetic. This seems to have become a staple of the Gamehiker Member OG series where the heroes tend to only save the world because it's there and no one else wants to. For some reason he keeps coming up with immortal characters, even though he knows its lame but its too late to retcon that.

When not working on Gamehiker, Masamune usually does 'extracurricular' activities like playing games to get information for the Gamehiker.com. Lately his OGing has decreased due to him running Subspace RPG], though he's decided to rectify that of late. No one knows if he will succeed. He also enjoys writing and web design. He is currently a student at Indiana University, perhaps forever.

Trivia

Timnis is fascinated by the potential link between Masamune and Wasa crackers.

Why He's So Awesome

  • He came up with his name based on the Masamune swordsmith, although he heard the name first from Chrono Trigger.
  • His favorite game of all time is The Adventure of Link, although some speculate this is only because he likes to be contrary.
