LakiPlant, or now known as Harley Quinn (for the premiere of The Dark Knight), has been a member of MFGG since the October of 2006 when she was interested in creating Mario fangames. Although she has been here for about 2 years now, she hasn't progressed socially, or become popular in the least bit way. But even thought this little problem has effected her she still remains to be a progressing graphic artist. LakiPlant, most always being thought to be a male, has become very comfortable in almost every topic now a days, but still urges and yearns to be a "popular" member. Lakiplant as well as being a fangame creator and digital, was a very intuitive amateur spriter.

Plant on a cloud?
As depicted above LakiPlant's character inhibits a couple iconic features. The design of the character came straight from the love of Mario and everything related to the Mushroom Kingdom, as can be easily seen. The character is a Piranha Plant on top of a rather cumulus Lakitu cloud. The character has been varied from having green or white lips (preferably white lips), to wether it had the ability to breath fire. The character was first created when a couple of MLSS sprites were conveniently pasted on each other.As originally depicted LakiPlant was an inferno pelting, condescending, beast of the sky.
His New Character's Back-Story
His new character is an explorer who writes stories about his adventures for a living. His books have become very popular at his home town and he has managed to make enough money to travel to more distant lands, countries, and even planets and alternate universes (with the help of a professor he knows). While there he likes to take pictures, meet new people, and write notes about the place so he could possibly add it to his next book. Though he can be a bit timid and clumsy at times, he's gotten used to having to end his vacations early so he can dive into a new mission and tough it out (most of the time he doesn’t have a choice).
Biographical History
When he was first introduced to the World Wide Web the first Internet community he joined was MamaMedia.com. Although he didn't communicate with anyone as much as he just customized his account and played the games. But he did not have Java at the time nor did he understand how to install it so his selection of games to play was limited. He eventually stopped going there but to this day he still uses the same user name where ever he goes. He played a fan game for the first time after he discovered some Kirby fan games at Kirby's Rainbow Resort. Anxious to play more fan games he then decided to search for some Kirby fan games on Yahoo but was not very successful. He then tried searching for some Mario fan games, which led him to MFGG. He didn't register to MFGG's forums at the time he found the place because he was still too young and scared of being hunted down by an online predator. But he did check for updates on the main site often.
Some time later MFGG got shut down leaving him with no website in particular for him to go to. He eventually registered to Rainbow Resort's forums out of boredom where he debuted his first persona (seen above). He didn't really have any reputation there except maybe with a few members (one of whom was a blue robot Kirby with green feet and an infrared sensor installed as a right eye named Psyborg). Eventually he found out that MFGG was put back on-line and this time he decided to register to its forums. After he registered to MFGG he started going to Rainbow Resort less and less until he stopped going all together. When he first came to MFGG he didn't give a good first impression with his bad grammar/spelling, somewhat n00bish behavior, past friendship with thewolf (another friend from Rainbow Resort), and infamous MSPaint pic "Super Sward". In the present, his art and grammar skills are more improved and he has earned respect from the other MFGGes.
He stopped posting on MFGG's message board from late August of 2005 until shortly after Mario Kart DS was released and Xander posted a topic for MFGGers to post their Wi-Fi friend codes. At the time 123James only posted his friend code and left right after. He was not seen again until after Animal Crossing Wild World was released and he posted his friend code in the corresponding topic Kaepora created for it. While still trying to get friend codes for AC:WW his only computer crashed leaving him with only the use of his sister's laptop to get more friend codes and AC:WW when that was unavailable at the time. But after hearing word on AC:WW from another MFGGer that he was actually missed by more people than he had expected he decided to visit the forum regularly again shortly after his computer was fixed. About a week after his return 123James redesigned his character into what it is now to look more like he does in real life.
Artistic Abilities
James has become a talented artist, and is one of the few members who develops better skills in short times periods. He usually likes to draw in his own cartoon style though when drawing fan art using a reference pic he seems to take some traits from the pics original style and mixes it with his. He has developed a number of characters which he plans to use in his cartoon series he'd developed called Apples to Oranges (or A2O for short). He hopes to get this show onto the media in any form some day though he can only see it coming out as a comic strip at the moment. He has said himself that one of his inspirations for making a series was the web-toon, Geoweasel; however he isn't into the show as much as he used to be. His other inspirations include Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbies, Fairly Odd Parents, Hay Arnold, the plots of the Mario games, among others.
He is known for the number of topics in the PPP he’s made where he would offer to draw various members in the topic in different ways. He try’s to occasionally do something a little differently in some topics weather it be his member selecting method or the technique he uses to draw them. Every now and then he will even sketch one member on paper and scan it. In most cases he doesn’t put a lot of effort into the drawings he makes in these topics. On May 6, 2006 he joined deviantART after being complimented on his many works in General Friendly-ness by a hand full of other MFGGers.
