Thread for creating /his/ tan to represent the board to all of 4chan.
This represent YOU so get in here and help come up with something you can be proud of
>>17530
fuck you and everything you represent
>>17530
voting for marble ancient philosopher and post-industrial loli
OC can switch between them depending on what people want. It'll work.
>>17579
marble Socrates wizard
>>17530
This doesn't represent shit because the board is not even a day old.
This only represent autistic meta posters that have nothing to do with 95% of the boards they do ERP with and should be banned in here for meta like it is in said 85% of boards.

I still want the post industrial loli to be in some kind of uniform
I want /a/ to leave
>>17799
Uniforms OC dependent. No strict policy for clothing.
>>17856
Again, that's a bad idea
>>17856
I rather like the redcoat loli. Keep it simple.
15th for drop the fucking loli and just have an old man philosopher
>>17799
Why do want a loli? Not asking why female, why specifically a loli?
>>17917
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting. And you're a newfag. Enjoy your ban.
remove the fucking loli
>>17883
Why not this except male?
Marble head with a normal body dressed in period clothing? Kind of like how r9k's is a robot.
The head could represent ancient history and the body more modern history.
>>17938
Because cute.
Zero lewdness involved.
Also its significantly easier to draw flat characters instead of a chest and ass.
>>17967
Minus the /a/utism and loli, obviously
>>17883
Anon, stop trying to force the statue head. It's not going to happen.

I just like the idea of it being a girl
>>17991
You can't crush my dream!
>>17983
I don't think of History as being cute imo
>>17938
I actually couldn't care less if it's a loli or not. It's just shorthand for calling it female.
Ok, how about a military loli
and the marble philosopher
battle loli's a best
>>18000
I don't like a female. I think an elderly man most symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, and experience.
I could imagine an old marble statue yelling at edgy /pol/-tan to sit the fuck down and them give them a lecture. Shit would be great.
>>18016
Tans ought to be cute.
>>18074
Anything WW2/WW1 is too easy.
Also i'd prefer an grown-up instead of a loli.
>>18074
>battle loli's a best
This
>people want a female to represent a fucking history board
dead in the water, back to /lit/ and /int/ I guess
Reminder than anyone suggesting a male tan is a homosexual and can simply be ignored.
>>18021
there's a huge gap between loli and woman
loli doesn't even mean girl is means very young girl
>>18147
>how dare they not make the tan as realistic as possible
And i guess /x/'s rainbow stockings are spoopy how?
>>18120
If we're going to stay a good board, we've got to stop drawing comparisons, regardless of what they are, to /pol/. We need to stop associating ourselves with that stigma and stop giving it attention.
>>18144
This is actually really fucking nice, anon.
>>18074
No loli's. What's the deal with all these pedos.
>>18153
Being that insecure you probably think being interested in the Ancient Greeks or Romans makes you homosexual.
>>18144
we're not /k/tan here, there should be a history focus not a war focus.
Ages gone by
>>18144
where's the history. That looks like it's present day
>>18074
Or just a loli that wears historical outfits, it can be a redcoat outfit, a Nazi outfit, Roman outfit, it can even by a Nazi prison outfit like that autist was wanting last thread.
>>18153
So the designer of the $1 Educational Series silver certificate was a gay when he had a female History instructing a male Youth? /ss/ ain't gay.
>>18176
we shouldn't even be doing this gay anime shit in the first place
none of the actual good boards do
It needs to be something simple if you want content of it.
See: /v/-tan and /co/-tan
/v/-tan is an angry guy with a circle head and a shirt. He gets shit made for him all the time. /co/-tan is a detailed man with normal proportions. He gets jack shit.
>>18223
>just a loli that wears historical outfits
Then what's the point? It's literally every other board except just dressed up differently. It has to be something reflective of /his/ and our culture.
>>18147
we aldready decided on marble philosopher /her/ now we discuss historia
>>17530
Fuck off with this tumblr bullshit
>>18254
I think that's more because /co/ is lazy and all the artists just do fanart anyway.
>>18262
We have no culture yet.
>>17530
Needs those fucking swirly dork glasses, at least some of the time. Prone to being temporarily convinced by /pol/ and /int/ in spite of being incredibly argumentative.
Whatever it is. remove its ears. Make it look like th tan took teh ears off after being flooded wit whiny polsters and afrocentrists.
kick /a/ out
I want a real history tan
>>18254
What? This is /co/tan.
>>18318
>fat man jacking off
No.
Marble man is beautiful at least.
>>18318
/lgbt/ pls go.
>>18254
Those boards also have a p big disparity in popularity.
>>18296
This is what I was saying last thread. You people want so hard to make something which reflects us, yet you're doing this before we've actually established ourselves.
Either wait or use the one idea which would actually fit the pre-board /his/ cultures on this board (an old rambling marble philosopher would be perfect)
PICK YOUR POISONS
>>18254
half the reason that /v/ gets content is because /v/-tan was originally just meant to be "generic anon" in vidya comics
/co/-tan only gets dragged out when /co/ decides to stop fapping to /co/lette or whatever its waifu of the month is
Fucking vote

I feel like it's bad I recognize this.
If we have a statue as our tan other boards will think it's bland and boring.

1 for the man with the girl in a military outfit.
>>18376
Why isn't there an option for neither?
That's like telling people to eat shit or drink piss without giving them the option to refuse.
>>18409
7 being the redcoat loli not the statue head redcoat
>>18389
I disagree, I think they'll say "exactly as expected, good job"
>>18375
1 and 2 look good.
>>18434
I'd drink piss desu.
>>18389
First off, who honestly cares what they think? And secondly, how would having a unique character unlike any of the others which accurately depicts our board be less memorable than a generic character with the exact same traits as every single other board?
>>17530
http://strawpoll.me/5889088
>>18375
Just do 1 without the girl please. If we have a girl, it'll totally overshadow the other character and people will only care about her. And then they'll be no distinction between us and the characters of other boards.
We need to actually be decisive.
>>18375
1 and 2
History is too expansive to have just one dude.
>>18375
1 and 7
>>18457
The sole purpose of board tans is fanfiction faggotry between them.
>>18486
That's what sidekicks are for
Each board has one tan unless they have a reason for two
>I can't decide
is not a reason
>>18375
guys
guys
what about 1, 7, AND 2?
>>18375
7 but male
>>18541
Because it's History & Humanities? Just a girl in historical costume doesn't properly embody humanities and the statue just implies humanities alone.
>>18552
Actually you can consider this opinion as valid and interesting.
>>18552
>3 tans
Too many tans. It'll never work
>>18434
Because there are no other options presented and we're just jerking each other off in circles if we don't choose something or leave it alone for a few weeks.
>>18520
wow mad much
>>18375
female 7
>>18577
yeah, 1 and 7 masterrace
>>18520
Then why not be creative with it and add a new layer of chemistry? Another average character added into the mix for other characters to have faggoty relations with is nothing special, but an old man philosopher character creates a perfect, new, and unique blend into the spectrum.
>>17954
Sure thing faggot. Stop with your circlejerk, you did the same with /aco/, you can't force a culture in a new board, that's reddit-tier
>>18541
Here is a reason.
History is like the Roman God Janus, it has two faces looking each way.
The Old Philosopher man Herodotus represents the history that has been. The young girl Historia represents the history that is coming into being.
>>18570
most board are something and something
anime and manga
comics and cartoons
animals and nature
Still one tan
>>18074
What in the fuck? Who draws this shit? baka desu senpai
>>18627
then suggest one tan with two faces
Just let them make their handicapped board tan to put in comics and lets never talk about it again.
>>18627
It's bullshit but I like it.
>>18637
I question myself now anon
>>18627
So Herodotus is a grumpy old coot who yells at clouds?
>>18641
NANI
>>18649
Too close to /k/, though arguably this board's biggest influences are /int/, /pol/ and /k/.
Hey /his/, question.
Who's YOUR favorite board-tan?
>>18627
here's the actual reason
>you're a pedophile
We should take the most influential woman in history, and then weebify her.
Alternatively, Herodotus and his eromenos, both turned into girls. Herodotosu-tan will appear in vaguely suggestive poses with eromenosu-tan, just barely suggesting something possibly wrong, but not beyond the pale of acceptability.
>>18674
I guess that's true
what about a qt Roman platoon member?
>>18666
No, he is the wise old man who has seen all.
>>18627
How about its two different personality of teh same person?
Huh huuuuuuuuh?
>>18682
/s4s/ pls go
>>18340
I duno, kinda sums up the board so far.
>>18682
/tg/'s board-tan, since it was modeled after a "post your face" event that discovered most board-goers are skinny as fuck.
>>18700
Why do we need a girl? It doesn't accurately depict anything and it's not interesting.
>>18693
I am not the guy who has been arguing for a loli or whatever. I just wanted to drop in my bullshit argument for intellectual masturbation reasons.
>>18700
does anyone have the Japanese image of the famous World War Two generals made into qt grills?
>>17579
Can someone explain why a fucking history board would pick a loli for their -tan?
I mean, at one hand, there aren't many historical anime, and the few of them are more focused on eastern history, so there's barely any connection with this board content.
And at the other, the idea itself is off. I mean, we're talking about a topic that implies lots of time on libraries, newspapers and ancient buildings, why a little girl, on the age of internet and smartphones, would spend so much time enclosed reading books about stuff that happened long before she was born?
I like the master/student relationship between the two tans.
also this idea

>>18879
omg an admin
>>18779
I don't understand why we can't just settle with an old marble philosopher man.
I mean it's absolutely perfect. It's a character of ancient Greco-Roman base, making it historical in a period most people here are very interested in. Also, old age usually symbolizes knowledge and experience, both of which take part in historical discussions, and wisdom, which represents his refusal to accept baseless claims or ideas and always search for facts rather than interpretations. It's pretty much everything we've built up /his/ to be, there's nothing more to add.

>>17799
This is perfect.
Just let it be a Napoleonic/Imperialist anime girl.
>>18973
No, there's literally no reason for there to be a loli sidekick. As you can see the only possible reason is for these /a/-fags to satisfy their autism, hence why they'd rather just post anime girls rather than actually discuss.
>>18973
We basically decided this. But people are still yelling about us having two tans WHICH SHOULD BE TOTALLY FINE.

>we whittled it down to these two, which should we pick?
>>18973
well all the parallels kind of synced up too perfectly wtih Hiro though
>>19016
It's not, the girl serves no purpose and is only there to be there. The old man is what actually matters and should be the only one.
>>19039
We came up with them as a pair. Read the last thread. The second reply was about multiple tans.
>>19000
The other fact is that it is too soon
In a week it might be all WWII all the time and the tan should reflect that
Or it could be nothing but Rome, Rome, Rome
So maybe don't get your heart set on anything yet
>>19000
Good shit

Personally, I would say 1.2, but if you can make 1.2 in Rule 63 that would be awesome!

>General threads to avoid clutter
>/his/ RELATED TOPIC
We seem to have some very same-y threads cluttering up the board.
Can we eventually wrangle people into some serious discussions in a /WWIIG/ World War Two General, for one?
Do we really need independent threads for "Who REALLY started the war" or "How many Jews died in WWII?" Wrap it up in one thread
>>19000
/his/ should have this hair/eyes with this >>18724 uniform.
I fucking love the hair
>>19110
There is only 1 loli tan of all of 4chan and it's because it's /e/ which is just lolis
>>18247
Name a single board who's tan has no anime inspiration. The answer is none of them and you're fucking stupid.
>>19129
sticky says no generals which is good in my opinion
>>18905
So far, I tend to agree with this.
I mean, most reasoning for the loli tan are contrived background story ("she is the student of the old man!", "she represents the history to come" (on a board about history before the 80's), "she's being redpilled by /k/ and /pol/!"), so is quite evident she's just there because she's cute.
Which is kind of sad, because drawfags will work on the design they find most appealing, so when having to choose between drawing an old man talking about serious stuff, and a random loli with cute lolis doing cute things, well, the old man design is pretty much fucked.

We can FORCE a personality though.
Ancient philosophers and not WW2 warfare are perfect for this board.
and the duality of the wise old man and the battle loli is perfect for personalities as people can find qualities they have in both.

This is exactly what I'm worried about too. I want the board tan to represent something serious and meaningful, not just a generic cute character.
>>19204
Then pick one for the main tan.
The one that will go to Balls and represent us
The other can still exist
I vote marble statue tan. Makes the most sense and I think will have good interaction between the other tans

No, you can't. Trying to make a character or number of characters which are so generic and general in order to cover the widest possible spectrum of personalities or ideas takes away the central focus and charm. A single character with a single personality works best.
>>19266
This board has a wierd hate obsession with /pol/
It almost feels like its forced or something, and this post is also forcing something needless just out of percieved spite.

As a black guy, I would really appreciate it if you make our tan a black slave as a reminder of the black struggle.

I start to believe there's one very vocal and obsessed guy spamming all these loli pics and samefagging a lot to get the impression the loli concept is more popular than what actually is.

I got an idea. An immortal little girl who always chimes in when people are talking about something that happened going
>OH I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT! I WAS THERE
no matter what the event in question is. Wears a toga and glasses. Has curly red hair and acts like a grumpy old man despite looking 12. Gives rambly, half wrong accounts of literally anything that happened ever but for some reason still has at least partial knowledge of everything that's ever happened ever. Oh and she also hate's /pol/ and /int/ tan but goes out of her way to see them in order to complain about them.
>>18074
>>18144
>Women
>An important part of history
Good one, pals.
If the tan doesn't look like a grizzled old asshole like the IT SAYS YOU'RE GAY guy, then it's invalid.
>>19457
No, you see most of pre-board /his/ culture was really firmly based around debunking and rejecting baseless /pol/ claims, so it not only makes sense but it would be a comical character mix to have /his/ be the old wise man who is constantly sitting down and lecturing the edgy /pol/ teen.
>>19542
Why a little girl?
Why not a literal statue?

>little girl who constantly reincarnates but with perfect memory of her past life

I support it.
>>19496
Because it's a -tan. No sense in avoiding the weeb when it's a weeb concept to begin with.
It's the same reason /i/, [s4s], moot, 4chan, and ebola are characterized as loli.
>>19540
Firstly, that represents the ideas of history in general. But it doesn't at all represent this board and how it acts, it's mostly like the old man compared to other boards.
And secondly, you know that if you have a little girl then it's going to totally overshadow the old man because people only want a cute character to look at and all our identity will be washed away.
>>19542
>She looks like a child, but she's actually a 1000 years old vampire!
Oh, fuck off with this loli bullshit.
>HURR /pol/ THIS /pol/ THAT
Fuck off. You asshats are going to ruin this board. Stop fucking talking about /pol/. Stop encouraging /pol/ cancer, stop mentioning /pol/ cancer, stop fucking blaming everything on /pol/ cancer. It's going to be on your fucking heads when this place isn't good anymore. Let the board be decent. Quit circlejerking about cancer and actually talk about what a thread's about.
>>19532

This boards obsession with /pol/ is cute in itself
You see /pol/ everywhere, even when it is not there
>>19592
Because this is fucking 4chan and that's what we do! Or at least on 90% of the site by traffic volume. I'm ok with an old man too but I think that a loli will make for better board culture and in-universe shenanigans. Some of us have to write comics about this, remember.
