Big Boss: A major character from the Metal Gear series, whose DNA was used to create clones of the "perfect soldier". He eventually loses an eye and wears an eyepatch over it. I thought it would be a funny name since the Pintura wears an eyepatch. No, really. That's the entire reason why I named this after him. IT'S NOT EVEN ON THE CORRECT EYE.

I never really got the sudden need for these since this is what your profile text is for, but I'll put this here anyway because my profile is already big and filled with useless stuff as it already is.

"Who even are you?"
I'm some idiot from Scotland who found a very green pet site at the age of nine. Nine year old me found it fun and an enjoyable time waster, despite every page taking a minute or so to load on our dying XP computer (those constant unresponsive script errors were fun). I must've had the patience of a god back then.
I'm really good at writing too much about this sort of stuff, so I'll just cut it short there. You don't need to know about my childhood technology experiences. Either way, little nine year old me must have enjoyed this site a whole lot for me to still be here at the age of eighteen. ...Or maybe it's because I'm secretly immature and like these kind of sites too much?


"Where did this 'Sparky' stuff come from?"
It came from another user calling me it as a nickname. I have no idea if she considers me a friend or not anymore, so I won't drop any usernames here. I still use this nickname because I like it. I pretty much like any nickname people make for me, to be honest. Even "grouchy". That's my favourite one.

"Why do you always have a 'creature says this thing here' bit on your profile?"
I really liked Neopets back when I first joined this and it had something similar that would sometimes appear under your active pet as you browse through the site. I think it's dumb and I'd feel bad if I took it away now since I've had that section of my profile for so long now, so I just keep it. It's silly anyway, and so am I.

"Anything else we need to know?"
Well, not really. I'll still dump some crap here, though.
Due to username choices and (apparently) the way I act outside of EC, most of the internet mistakes me for being male. It honestly doesn't bother me, though. I just think it's funny.
I like welcoming new users, but sometimes I feel bad when I spam out the liveposts. ...Or just 'spamming out a TL;DR post', as my silly mind likes to call it.


"...Anything else?"
No, go away.

About Pintura Eggs

Pintura eggs only hatch if they are laid in another squid's ink. The ink needs to surround the egg to block out major sources of light (like the sun). Too much sunlight can cause the growing creature inside to perish.

About the Pintura Creature

Pinturas are the greatest enemies of pirate and their ships alike. Pinturas, diabolically, often let pirate ships pass their waters to allow them to carry out their treacherous acts of thievery. Then, when pirates are departing and are fully loaded with loot, Pinturas attack to steal the treasure and gold on these ships for themselves. They often attack ships in groups and surround them. Pinturas with the longest tentacles will wrap themselves completely around the ship from its main deck to the bottommost part of the hull that sits in the water.

This is why Pinturas are fearfully called "ship snappers."
