Okay so I had an idea for a story long ago. The story was about a kid who joins a forum only to find it in ruins and thus he must save the forum from Spam Bots, Hackers, and Trolls. Basically it'd be a very video gameish story.  
 
This thread is to bring that idea to life with the help of the CV community. This is a special collab thread. Putting it in the art forum because there will be drawing and stuff. (It might get moved.) 
 
Special collab rules 
1. You can add anything you want and will be given credit for doing so. So if you can't draw but you still have some good ideas, by all means tell your ideas. 
2. Be nice. There's going to be a lot of creative input if this gets off it's feet, but try and avoid arguments. If you don't like an idea, explain why in a calm precise manner.  
3. Everything will be added to the OP, except for large stories. Yes that even means name ideas. If I you don't want your stuff in the OP please say so when you post it.   
 
(I'll try and spoiler the images later, but for now I don't want the pics getting killed. 
 
Stuff so far: 
 
Characters 
 
Noob

No Caption Provided
Angry Noob(needs a name)

I do not fully understand the premise. What do you want people to add? Plot threads / stories? Artwork for new characters? 
I could write up some stories about this guy's exploits if that's what you're looking for. 
I don't have a whole lot as far as artwork goes, but I do have one picture that I made recently that I'm fairly proud of and have been waiting for a time to show off.

You can add anything you want. Stories, character ideas (even character names given Angry Noob doesn't have one), enemies and such.  
 
If you think your pic can fit the setting then feel free to post it. :D

In the original idea the villain is the Hacker, but I could change it to Angry Noob.  
 
Maybe he could be the Gary Oak of the story.

@Decoy Elite: EVEN BETTER! :D 
The Noobs could have epic boss battles against the various mods: 
 Battle Mod: Controls armies of Trolls and Flamer Trolls 
Off-Topic Mod: Attacks with floods of text, which can drown the Noobs. 
General Discussion Mod: Any comic weapon, and the power of the Media 
RPG Mod: Shapeshifter. 
Artist Show-Off Mod: Attacks with giant paintbrush 
Bug Reporting Mod: SPAMBOT ARMY, and can make the Noobs sick

@Icarusflies: Yes!  
I think the mods would the main bosses or at least mid bosses of each area.  
(While this probably won't be a game I think it's a good idea to make the story very gameish)

Excellent. Do you think we should have the mods help out later on, maybe team up on the Hacker to give the Noobs time to take him out?

@Decoy Elite: I think when the Noob defeats the Mod, they become un-corrupted, and become allies to the noob…and I think each gives him a special weapon he can use.

Okay so far we've got a bit of a story. 
 
Noob joins forum, Hacker corrupts forum, Noob takes out mods and gets powers, then Noob takes on Hacker.  
So we'll need to think up the mods and forum themes.  
I think Criers could fit anywhere really and Spam Bots would mostly hang in the Off-Topic.

I like where this is going. It's got a very "Scott Pilgrim" feel to it now. 
 
Should noob be alone facing all these enemies, or should we introduce a couple of allies to aid him in his journey?

I'm not sure, I originally intended to have Angry Noob be a teammate but Tonis's Gary Oakish ideas for the character are too good to pass up.  
You think Noob should get party members?

I'm not thinking necessarily a team or anything. Just maybe give him a couple of allies who pop in occasionally to lend a hand?

Yeah. I mean, there are video games where the hero meets friends along the way and they act as NPCs on occasion. This just kinda fits with that style. It's awesome to have a single primary hero, but it feels kinda weird when he's the only good character in the entire game.

@(((Prodigy))): As far as NPCs go, there will be all the forum goers and the mods(once uncorrupted). The Noob would just be the most combat efficient.
