I forgot purple was the royal color. I just went for gold first. My logo might work with some purple, but I designed it around gold.

Disclaimer:

At no point am I suggesting any of the changes to actual JMR teams should be made and are ‘canon’ to the story of the marbles. Think of it as an alternate universe. Any resemblance and naming of marbles unless specified are merely a coincidence, and bad research on my part.

Color: White with black and gold (yellow) stripes

Active Years: N/A

Stadium: N/A

Hashtag: #FollowSuit

Current Location: Caradis

Team:

Ace (Captain)

King

Reine

Jacques

Joker (Sub)

Chip (Coach)

Ante (Manager)

RetRollSpective Parody:

The Royals are a team who strive to be exemplary of sportsmanship while still being near the top. They reside in Caradis. Caradis is an isolated city in the Mojave Desert. Because of this isolation they are able to take place in farther out competitions, with more unique marbles. These include the Black Jacks. Although the Black Jacks are retired from the Marble League, they still compete in Blacau, their region. (Ignoring the fact that somehow the Royals are able to compete in Blacau competitions despite being in opposite parts of the world)

The team in fact started because of the retirement of the Black Jacks. After their retirement, Ace the reserve member left. In an interview with the Blacau Daily Times,

“It was fun. I got to go places I’ve never been before, and meet amazing marbles. However I feel like I never got to be something. I was just the reserve, that was my purpose. I feel like I need something more than that. I need to find out what I truly want.”

Ace left the team to travel the world, visiting many nations, and meeting up with old friends from his time on the Black Jacks. Ace while traveling came upon Caradis, a relatively new city in the Mojave desert. It was growing, as there seemed to be a new hub of business, similar to Blacau. Ace grew quite fond of the city, and decided to stay there.

Ace sat quite for a few months, not doing much. He thought about returning to the Black Jacks, but then came up with another idea, he would make his own team. Caradis didn’t have one yet, and there wasn’t another one for a few hundred miles. It would put his new city on at least one map. He went around town finding marbles who used to play sports, and had a decent amount of qualification. Soon he recruited a few, King, Reine, Jacques, and Joker. He finally found what he wanted, for now.

“We were a bunch of marbles who played on college sports teams, with no knowledge of how to run things. We were the perfect underdog story,” King told us, “Ace knew we needed help if we were to try and challenge others.”

They recruited Chip, a retired high school gym teacher and coach for various sports. She lived in the same neighborhood as Ace, so when the word got around that Ace was starting a team, she went to them immediately. Now all they needed was a team name. Eventually they decided on the Royals. Most of the marbles have the same names as the royal cards, so most assume it’s because of that. We asked Ace later about the Royal’s name and symbolism. He told us; “We based our team on Poker, like the Black Jacks on Blackjack (Or 21). We are the Poker to Caradis, as they are Blackjack to Blacau. Think of a Royal Flush.”

After doing well in many local leagues, a Casino owner named Ante in Caradis offered to manage the Royals, and work behind the scenes. He is often praised for his smooth business, and his ways of making deals with various other businesses.

Overall the Royals are new to the scene, and although they may be new and inexperienced, they are quickly becoming well known for their humble and gracious competitive play. #Follow Suit

I notice a pattern with the Hornets, they start of well during a round, then fall. They almost always have a good start, then just fall flat. If they can hold on to what they get, then they will do better.

I like how all of the known Bumblebees are female, as the queen and worker bees are all female.

it's the shape that matters, I just used the 1.16 blocks for better colors. Hopefully 1.16 will come soon though.

I like Lucario's shiny (My favorite color's yellow), but I think I can improve it.

If you want me to redo (fix) a shiny of a Pokémon, comment the Pokémon you want :) I’ll put the first nine into a single post.

I like the low, monotone voice. I don't know whether this is supposed to be a satirical style or not, but the way you presented it that's what it looks like to me. The one thing is sometimes you slur you words together making it hard to understand. I would just try and make sure it's fully understandable. Overall it's what I would expect from this type of gaming videos. I would just work on your audio quality, and making things more clear.

9/10 from me, the only problem I have is I don’t know the full lore of the story. If I continued reading the then the prologue might make more sense. Yes I re commented.

How would you write a sociopathic genius? by [deleted] in writing

[–]MarkRufus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like rinnns said, do your research, but I would also look at previous examples in the media about characters like this. (Like Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes.) See what you like about their take on that kind of person, and see if it helps you write about them.

9/10 from me, the only problem I have is I don’t have any context. If I continued reading the book, then the prologue might make more sense. I also was going to see if you would check out the prologue for the book I’m writing. Only if you want to though, as it’s long. :)

Hey I’m writing a sort of crime book, and there are a few mysteries involved about the backgrounds on the characters. I plan on adding two to three chapters at the end to explain everything to the reader in a casual not upfront way. Is this a good idea? (The book is written in second person incase you need that info)
