Community Spotlight Daystar Clarion

As one user describes him, he’s not only The First Brovenger – he’s “our main source of fun and joviality on these forums. Our first, and last line of defense against the shrieking hordes of rage, hate, and adolescent nihilism that plague so much of the internet. ” Whether you love him or hate him, you’ve got to admit that Daystar is a part of Escapist culture right now. So much so in fact that when his forum friends discovered he couldn’t make it to the Escapist Expo they purchased a plush toy of his avatar and brought it along instead. Throughout the weekend you could find Daystar mingling with an assortment of Escapist staff and content providers, despite never having set foot on the grounds. Pictured below: Cory Rydell, Fiz_the_Toaster, ThyNameIsMud, Fappy, Nasrin, Kapol, and PsychicTaco115 We took a moment and get to know the “telltale white wolf”, hoping to uncover some of his mystery. What first brought you to The Escapist? Tell us a little about your avatar. Where does your name come from? The game is based on Shinto folklore, Amaterasu being the Goddess of the Sun in the form of a wolf. Plants and flowers sprout at her feet as she runs, it’s all very pretty manly and has a great flow to it. Originally, it was just Ammy running, but thanks to the fine work of trollnystan, Ammy now has come clouds to keep her company. TopazFusion resized the image for me after the recent update. Who are the Injustice League and the Brovengers? It was forged from a piece of star and consecrated in fire and ether (the element of the stars). When wielded by specific individuals, the sword is actually on fire, and any wound inflicted on an opponent is instantly cauterised. My attachment to the actual book series has dwindled, and I’m not really as fond of them now as when I was younger, but I’ve always liked the sword and its name, so I use it as my username any chance I get. . What is your favorite current feature of The Escapist? PsychicTaco115 sent me a PM around that time, suggesting that no superhero team is complete with a team of super villains, and the Injustice League was born to mock oppose all our mock hero efforts. . If I take a look inside your refrigerator what would I find? My favourite though, would probably be No Right Answer. The show is hilarious and Chris, Kyle and Dan come across as genuinely having fun while at the same time, raising some quite interesting points. Being fun and quite interesting is my idea of a brilliant time. If you won the lottery, how would you spend the money? Who is your favorite historical figure, and why? I’d probably stick it in the bank and live off the interest, buying all the video games. I’d also book myself a flight and a ticket to the Escapist Expo to meet you beautiful people. What are your hobbies, besides lurking on The Escapist forum? I won’t go into the whole evolution vs creationism thing, but needless to say, the man changed the way we look at the natural world. He also reminds me of a hilarious story involving Galápagos tortoises and how delicious they are. What is your day job? Also, I love to watch stand up comedians, as well as comedy panel shows and various other British comedies, such as Top Gear, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, and other classics. I also like watching a few US TV shows, such as Firefly, House, How I Met Your Mother, and The Big Bang Theory. I also dabble in some anime, not much, but I love Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and Outlaw Star. I’m afraid I’m not that incredibly interesting. What is your favorite videogame and why? I apply for work every day, however, so by the time this article is up, I may be in work, so fingers crossed. Tell us a secret. It’s everything I want from a game. Brilliant music, stunning visual aesthetics, loveable characters, a great story and some unique gameplay mechanics. As I stated earlier, the game is based on Shinto folklore, so culturally, it’s a very Japanese game. Thankfully, it’s presented in such a way that the barrier of entry is low and no prior knowledge of the subject is needed to fully enjoy this classic gem. I’d heartily recommend that anyone who enjoys Zelda-esque titles, or indeed, a game that tries something new, gives Okami a chance to steal your heart like it did mine.
