BOARD-TAN DESIGN THREAD

Can we not do this autism and let /v/ or someone handle it?

>>11061
It is inevitable, as is our /4CC/ team. Best to get it out of the way now.

>>11061

maybe, but would we really let /v/ design our character? It should be supported by the people here so its not hated later.

Maybe a roman consul style of clothing? It can be argued that romans are the most beloved amongst us all and wildly regarded as the forefathers of most nations that people who browse /his/ are from.

The fascio should obviously not be a part of it, since we're trying to crate a new identity for the board other than /pol/ 2.0.

Not to mention we all disdain plebs, love war, knowledge, order and take pride on each and every achievement of our respective civilizations. We're all romans in spirit.

Something like this, but with extra multinational historical cosmetics.

don't we need some dank memes before thinking of a board-tan?

>>11677

>>11640

/aco/ is a shit board, and they already have one

She should be a hilarious mishmash of costumes from all periods of history, to represent /his/' patchwork knowledge of whatever it is they're discussing.

A need a drawfag to make Bismarck-tan

>>11616
He could change headgear depending on historical period.

A tan design needs to be simple, but if we make the hat optional it lets drawfags be a bit creative.

A cabinet of tans to embody all of our interests.

We need to draw up a list of general concepts we want in a tan.

So far the main ideas seem to be:

>Dresses differently depending on which age or place the tan is supposed to be in.
>Male
>Facial hair of some sort

Anything else?

>>11041

/his/ immediately suggests "hispanic", perhaps even before it suggests "history".

Therefore, a board-kun should be of hispanic extraction; this flavor also specifically connects old world with new, and acknowledges the pervasive violence of history.

Our -kun should be like a Quixote or a Cortez.

Maybe as a sidekick he can have the girl from Las Meniñas.

Problem with many of these suggestions is that /his/ isn't just for discussion of wars and shit, its also for the arts and sciences of history.

How about Diogenes of Sinope?

>"It was in Corinth that a meeting between Alexander the Great and Diogenes is supposed to have taken place.[30] The accounts of Plutarch and Diogenes Laërtius recount that they exchanged only a few words: while Diogenes was relaxing in the sunlight in the morning, Alexander, thrilled to meet the famous philosopher, asked if there was any favour he might do for him. Diogenes replied, "Yes, stand out of my sunlight". Alexander then declared, "If I were not Alexander, then I should wish to be Diogenes."[31] In another account of the conversation, Alexander found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave."[32]"

>"Diogenes arrived in Athens with a slave named Manes who abandoned him shortly thereafter. With characteristic humor, Diogenes dismissed his ill fortune by saying, "If Manes can live without Diogenes, why not Diogenes without Manes?"[12]"

>"He used to stroll about in full daylight with a lamp; when asked what he was doing, he would answer, "I am just looking for an honest man."[21] Diogenes looked for a human being but reputedly found nothing but rascals and scoundrels.[22]"

Two things. First, I"m a white not-hispanic blue-eyed guy. Second, I don't have any special affinity for hispanic people, but the suggestion of the board's name is obvious.

It really bothers me that so many people replied to my suggestion with immediate, wincing, reaction-image "no"s. It bothers me so much, because quite the opposite of entertaining the idea that my suggestion was poor (it wasn't), it leads me immediately to conclude that a lot of people who will be using this board in the future can't make dumb-simple obvious connections.

Some dude in a Spanish helmet. Makes total sense given the abbreviation of the board.

Also, the name of the group will be "The Fantastic Four". And I am Mr. Fantastic.

Still no. Making the character intrinsically representative of Latin America is silly since what is applicable to it is not really applicable to other countries. You need generic characters which can fit into many situations.

Two is retarded, the idea is to have a single mascot that encompasses the whole board.
I like the idea of the marble bust or statue that's been mentioned a bunch of times. It's got it's root in antiquity, which was an important time not just in Western history itself, but for all the humanities.

>>13269
Man, why do I imagine /his/ with a cute russian accent?

>>13669
I agree, anon.

History is history, you can group history in all kinds of ways (e.g. African history, European history, etc.).

The loli is the one that will stick anyways, the statue is silly.

Guys, seriously. You're just putting random bullshit together at this point to make an overcomplicated clusterfuck of a mascot or even mascots that will never accurately represent the board culture unless you actually took some time to wait instead of just jumping on this instantly.

Give the board some damn time.

>>13912

this board is going places

>>13499

Using your analogy, no -tan could ever have been created. d-tan has hair-tentacles and a nice domme outfit, but /d/ has other fetishes going on. (in particular, dickgirls). x-tan doesn't have any real reason to be wearing rainbow thigh-highs except young men like the idea. In pic related, /co/ is some gumshoe type, but there are other characters in comics and cartoons, of course.

Admittedly, other more specific boards are more one-dimensional. A porn board is only ever a porn board for one particular genre, usually. Cuteposting is only ever cute posting, so it can be anthropomorphized more straightforwardly.

You can't be all things to all people. You have to pick a cohesive design. That said, now I think I get why my suggestion was so immediately "NO'D" - as one person has already admitted "it's not me".

As others have pointed out, people need some weeks and months to understand what the board is going to be before they can settle around some concept.

What? A loli?

Won't she have to have a unique hair style for the different clothes?

/his/toria needs to be the main board-tan because the board is called /his/. /her/odotus can be her dad

As for the ancient vs modern thing, just dress her up differently too.

I'm not too keen on making her a permanent loli, it should depend on the artist because history depends on the writers, har har.

/his/-tan needs to be a female because the name of the board is /his/ and the name Historia is too perfect

>>13269
Perhaps the loli could be be in a more modern fashion style rather than just the industrial overalls. Also while having Euro focus is appropriate for the board, there has been some Oriental discussion happening on the board. Along with the boards founding coming from An hiro, and our board being hosting on a rip off of a Japanese imageboard, I'd like for the loli to have some small references to the East. Maybe a textbook on Easter history?

Why are you guys so insistent on the loli.

Just drop it, it's going to be a bad idea.

Even if we do make two characters the loli will become the more popular and everyone on other boards will totally forget about the other. We need to have our own character which distinguishes us.

How about a guy with different body parts representing different time periods? Like a marble statue for a head, an arm wearing knight armour, and so forth, sort of like some kind of Frankenstein? Too stupid?

>>15266
That'd be a clusterfuck.

What if /his/ and /her/ were the same person who changes sex either at will or with time like Woolf's Orlando?

Would play to Greek/Roman/Japanese bisexuality

It can only be a single tan and should represent a big moment in history because it's impossible to draw a person as "history in general."

A loli would be more popular with the other boards.

We shouldn't use a loli though, it's overused and we need to distinguish ourselves. In my opinion an old philosopher would work the best for that.

>>15123
>>13269

They would be one and never be separate. Otherwise, it's got to just be one. The marble idea has to stay. If it is one, the best options are either a marble man like a Socrates figure, or something a little more playful like >>12938

>all these people wanting a loli
The only way in which that makes sense is that this is a new board, but dressing up a loli in old clothing is a poor excuse for a character.
An old as fuck philospher marble statue guy gets the point of the board being about history across much better being that's it's discussing old stuff, and you could dress him up in any sort of attire and he's still be recognizable, especially considering the fact that other boards already have lolis, but none have an old dude

>>15374
How distinguishable would a Jewish loli wearing a Nazi camp outfit be?

We'd have one of the most distinguishable tans on 4chan. And just think of the OC potential, man.

>>15521

M8, the tans are supposed to be entertaining more than accurate.

Id rather have a marble loli than just some old dude.

>>15500
I meant the younger one can be a girl or a boy depending on the context, both not either

The name is no problem, Historia or Historion

>>15489
Because that's a really stupid idea and doesn't set up a direct and distinct identity for the character, just a really poor attempt to make it fit into everything possible.

Plus people will always accept one absolute version of the character as the default anyway so there's no point. Which is exactly why we can't have two board tans. One will inevitably become more popular than the other, and the other will pretty much fall into irrelevance. This is the biggest reason I REALLY don't want any loli characters, because they would totally overshadow the other.
