Fibriel, also known as Draco Icebane, is a standard member known for a poor temper and insistent argumentative behavior.
Fibriel is an artistically-orientated self-styled intellectual who places heavy weight on things looking good or beautiful, rather than being "right" or "wrong", though the latter is still a concern. He stresses that one must show classiness and conviction in all that one does, and himself generally lacks in the first and bleeds the latter.
Interests and hobbies
Fibriel's interests are primarily artistic and center on society and emotion. This manifests in the usual visual artistic interest, though he also appreciates writing and music.
Multimedia
Fibriel believes that multimedia are, when the development team truly believe in and appreciate the project, the peak of artistic expression and the best tool for humanity to reflect upon and better itself. As such, he has an interest in working in multimedia, focusing on character motivations and emotions.
Fibriel often sets lofty goals and runs into numerous roadblocks along the way that burn out his ambitions.
Artwork
Fibriel's artwork centers around non-human (furry) characters, as he doesn't feel comfortable drawing humans due to his slightly cartoony style. Furries also get ears, tails, and pretty colors; they're overall more fun to design.
He has recently began toning down the express sexuality of his artwork, hoping to achieve what he believes is a "healthy approach" to sexuality and its representation in popular culture.
Controversy
Arguments
Fibriel cannot resist a good debate, but his rapid replies and blunt or outright inconsiderate wording give an extremely aggressive image, inadvertently and passively making enemies.
Although he may consider all viewpoints of a debate, Fibriel is not guaranteed to agree with or show basic respect to any such viewpoints, leading to blunt, inelegant wording of strong and occasionally inappropriate opinions; the harshness of his disagreement, as well as the general distaste of his presence due his reputation, often provokes others and aggravates delicate situations.
Fibriel holds second place for longest warn log without a ban, after one of the Sasukes or another, and the record for longest time with a two-page warn log without a ban. He held these warns for so long that the accounts that gave them no longer existed (due to Kritter's frequent deletion of his own administrator accounts.)
Furry
Fibriel is considered a furry by the majority of MFGG, and has been labelled with all of the traits associated with such, a condition worsened by his less than stellar personality.
In truth, Fibriel's interest in furry is non-exclusive (i.e. humans / animu are fine) and not inherently sexual.
Member History
Draco Icebane
Fibriel joined as Draco Icebane shortly after the Great Kyle Flamewar in October 2002 on the ezBoard, where he released a demo of Ultimate Mario, the "worst best Mario game ever", with his first post. It held one test level, and myriad horrendous programming errors, not the least of which was playing extremely loud noises for no conceivable reason; it remains a fitting analogy for his posting style. At this point, Draco was extremely polite and borderline naive, because he understood and respected the idea of The First Impression.
It took less than a year for familiarity to breed contempt, and as such, most of Draco's board time was spent in arguments with the more prissy regulars, such as Quicky and Kritter. Constant arguments led to Draco receiving warns and bans at an alarming rate only rivaled by King Piranha Plant's specific attempts to receive as many bans as possible. Draco would later make fun of the KPP problem in many mock plays, which the administrative team did not entirely appreciate, with one of his comments about a standard member (likely Parakarry) resulting in another ban.
After the chaotic shuffling of the strike system, and the eventual switch to issuing temporary bans instead of warn points, Draco was often only in posting condition for a week or two out of every month, which is a very depressing reflection.
Draco eventually shifted into a laughably arrogant otherkin persona, talking down to the "pathetic humans" of the forums because he was a dragon or something and dragons are so badass. Fibriel's terrible memory, and desire to block this phase of his netlife from said terrible memory, makes it difficult to remember the details. His primary "nemesis" at this point was perhaps Dr Wario. Eventually Draco got a clue and knocked that crapola the @*!$ off.
Draco had never been on good terms with Trasher, the infamous "asholw mody", on a business level; Trasher was infamous for giving very long ban times for relatively minor infractions, and then filling the member's signature with huge red text calling them an idiot. This happened to Draco rather frequently.
At some point, after an extensive argument between Delmore and SonicProject, Trasher banned SP for fifteen days for accidentally replying to a topic simultaneously with and just after Trasher's order not to. Draco was informed through an instant messenger by SP, requiring him to help somehow as SP would otherwise not stop talking about it for hours. Draco contacted FanGuy and asked him to take a look at the situation.
At FanGuy's best judgment, SP's ban was lowered to somewhere around five or ten days, while Trasher was suspended for five days along with Delmore. This sparked public outrage, because everything a moderator does is wrong, and FanGuy was branded as some sort of traitor for banning another moderator.
Draco wrote a poem entitled The Graven, a parody of The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe, to explain what had happened in a comical light. Although it satirically vilified Delmore and Trasher, it was generally well-accepted and recieved moderate praise, although it broke the rhythm. Draco was never issued any warning, verbal or actual, for its timing or theme, although there were a few complaints.
Eventually, for some reason, Mugen decided he wanted to take over the forums. He chatted with a few people about how best to swipe accounts, and Draco made the rather large mistake of giving him advice on disguising fake log-out redirects, as he did not think Mugen would actually do it, and underestimated the general idiocy of MFGG members. This dramatically increased Mugen's initial efficiency at stealing everybody's accounts and led to Draco being privately embarrassed at his own ignorance.
Personal bias led to Draco's refusal to inform Parakarry and Trasher of who was responsible, but after Mugen signed off, he contacted ShadowMan to inform him of the culprit. The length of time for which he withheld this information significantly dulled administrative appreciation. Mugen signed on the next day and promptly delivered a classic line: "You rat! See if I ever trust you again!" It would have been nice to see his face over the Internet.
Various dramatic events led to further problems in Draco's relationship with the administrative team, including an argument with Yoshiman, who was actually trying to lessen one of his sentences. Draco had become incensed because Yoshiman was naturally also scolding him for the offense in question, and his overall message was thus counter-productive.
Draco was indefinitely banned on August 2, 2008, when he performed a Super Whoa-Damn Freak-Out on a relatively innocent bystander and stormed off of the boards.
Baroque
On August 21, 2009, Draco made a return as Baroque, who spoke with about the same occasionally pompous nature as Draco, but rarely swore and often avoided or conceded arguments. This name was chosen in reference to a PlayStation 2 (and later Wii) game of the same name where the death of the main character is part of the storyline, and dying and resurrecting repeatedly is required to advance through the game.
It took less than a week for Baroque to have an argument with Joey over something trivial, which immediately alerted Yoshiman's suspicions as to his identity. Yoshiman is apparently a total doozer, as Baroque was able to sway his convictions and prevent him from satisfactorily proving the connection, owing much to a dynamic IP address.
After Yoshiman revealed that bans would be rescinded in the phpBB board system, Baroque revealed himself to be Draco after he was quite certain Yoshiman was not a fibby-boy. The community reaction was mixed, depending on each member's relation to people Draco had insulted over the past 6~7 years.
In the "New MFGG Resolution" era, Draco made a promise to swear less often and concede or simply drop arguments more often after New MFGG came around. It took him probably a year to start doing this in any noticeable fashion.
Fibriel
Draco took the name Fibriel after the split of the forums that kicked most of the trolls out into Minus World.
Projects
- Ultimate Mario was a The Games Factory game posted with Fibriel's first topic. This game repeatedly played the Shine Get noise from Super Mario Sunshine when no shines were got, due to a coding error.
- Hexis was a game whose name Fibriel explained with complicated Greek etymologies when all he had to say was "hexagon Tetris". This was going to be submitted for a minigame competition in 2005, but Fibriel spent too much time planning amazing things for it, and it never reached a functional stage; the screenshot is a mockup.
