Introducing Acumen!
Oh gosh I can't wait.
Glimmer, be nice.
Fine. I don't want to be though.
*sigh* Now, let me actually get to the post:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey y'all, I wanted to let you know, I've got a new AE! He is based off of the 'nerdy' and 'witty' sides of me. Here is some info about him:
Name: Acumen
Pronouns: He/Him
Appearance: Short, wild, ashy blond hair, normal height for a 14 year old even though he is really only 11 (which makes him two years younger than Glimmer), dark teal-green eyes. He often stares off at the distance with an aloof, dreammy eyed gaze, especially when he is thinking about something.
Personality:extremely inteligent, knowledgeable, enthusiastic about things he likes and enthusiastic about how awful the things he doesn't like are, opinionated, talkitive sometimes, but silent others, unpredictable, really kind-hearted (even though he can be a bit tough on you sometimes)
Other: Has the odd habit of licking his lips when he's thinking, or when he's with someone he likes. This means, generally, if he's happy, he's licking his lips. As a result they are also often chapped
Alright, Acumen, would you like to come say hi?
No. But this isn't something I have a choice in, is it?
Nope.
Okay then, hello CBers and AEs and CAPTCHAs. Have you heard about the Immortal Jellyfish? Did you know they aren't actually jellyfish? What about the platypus? Did you know the plural of 'platypus' is 'platipods'?
Oh here he goes...
Glimmer, he's new. Give him some slack.
But-
Slack is deserved, I believe. But I bet you didn't know about those jellyfishs, did you?
No, but-
See, I've proved useful. You are smarter after hanging with me.
You saying 'hanging' just sounds weird.
As weird as 'weird' being spelled 'e' before 'i' without a 'c'?
Um, yes?
Fine then. HANGING! HANGING! HANGING!
ACUMEN!!!
That's my name! Don't wear it out!
Okay Okay! That is enough! Let's post this before you two get out of countrol! Acumen can't wait to meet everyone!
Well technically I have to wait...
POSTING!

I'm dreadfully sorry if this is dumb or inconvenient, but what is an AE? Are they characters that you can make? I'm very new here! You all certainly seem to know what you're doing!
An AE is an Alter Ego, a character created to show a personality different from your usual self.

Hi, lullabye! I like your name :)
So yes, as the Admins have already said, AE stands for alter ego and is supposed to represent one part of your personality. For example, if I was shy sometimes, I might have a shy AE. To make sure people know when I am speaking for the AE and when I'm just speaking as myself, I'd make the AE speak in a different font, like this or *This* or whatever I want!
Hope that helped! Welcome to the CB :D

/WOOOOHOOOO! NEW FRIEND! Want some candy? I love the name Glimmer! Why have I never met Glimmer before?\
Because of this, Chai. You need to calm down. The annoying person next to me is Chai, she/her, and I am Rogue, she/her. Don't cross me. I will throw cupcakes at you.

Hello, Acumen! I'm Tamarindo, she/her. I made cookies!

Well, hello to you too mass of AEs and CBers! To answer any asked questions,
-Bananas are fine. One fruit in the mass of fruits out there is inconsiquential.
I think bananas are overrated. I ate them for snack every weekday for a year and now I see that they are simply an oddly spelled thing I'd rather not have.
-Yes, I like destroying peoples minds when they learn how much they don't know. Does destroying peoples since of reality count?
That's not weird Acumen...and totally not creepy...
No, it isn't. I think quirky is the word your looking for.
Your a dictonary, aren't you?
-And about the candy, no thank you. I'm alergic to everything other than Smarties.
I'll take some!!! I love sugar!!!
She's crazy. Be careful around her.
And your not. Suuuuure.

ARCHIE: Hah! Acumen, you remind me of Starflight!* And also Archie (yes, the that's my name, but not me) from The Gryphon Chronicles.
*from Wings of Fire

I'm picturing someone... appearences like maybe Audrun's (Shining Star's OC), gives off a sort of Deathbringer vibe (from Wings of Fire.) Someone I'd have a huge crush on if he were a cartoon (is that normal? That's not normal, is it)
