Yeah, I felt bitter and cynical, so I started making a DC parody of people I know. Then it sorta snowballed.
The cultures are:
[Debatinators]  (SH debaters)
[RS]  (FP debaters. Stands for our team name, which is impossible to actually remember.)
[Ceres]  (FP coworkers)
[Chaos]  (SH coworkers)
[Cobra]  (CobraCards! FP and SH)
[Fantasy]  (My obsessive-compulsive writing; ie, followers of various characters from the stories I write, and a few real-world things which would be relevant)
[Fate]  (the inevitable progress of time, and things which really don’t fit into the other cultures.)
"AQ" in the lore means that the quote is an actual quote by/about the person/event/whatever depicted.
I’m the equivalent of RB, though there’s no actual equivalent of the ring. It’ll just be worked into my own text.
A few random ones to open up the set, including the first version of myself, and the first minion version of NBarden:
 AgentDrake, The One With the Hat
Companion - AD
Strength 6
Vitality 3
RingedResistance 10
The twilight cost of each possession played on AgentDrake is -1.
Response: If AgentDrake is about to take a wound in a skirmish, you may add a burden instead.
"’He’s the one over there. With the hat....’" (AQ)
^Just for the record, I happen to like my "Mexico Hat." Keeps the sun off.... (It’s just a generic leather hat, not some sorta sombrero, or something, but somehow, it seems to have doubled my reputation at work as the eccentric....)
 NBarden, Morals Moocher
Minion – Debater
Strength 12
Vitality 4
Site 5
Corrupted. (This minion may be played regardless of unique Free Peoples cards.)Muster.
Each time this minion wins a skirmish, you may discard an argument with three tokens on it to add a burden.
“‘Okay. I’m done. Objections?’” (AQ)
 Smarter Than Thou
Condition – Support Area
Argument.
To play, exert a Debater minion.
At the end of each turn, if you can spot more conditions than Free Peoples conditions, you may place a token here.
While there are three tokens here, each of your debaters is strength +1.
Skirmish: Discard this condition to make a debater strength +1 for each token here.
“‘Debate is pretending you’re smarter than your opponent.’” (AQ)
 *Mad Meredith, The Happy One
Companion – Coworker
Strength 7
Vitality 5
Resistance 12
Muster.
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may exert Mad Mer and add a burden to draw a card.
Response: If a shadow card is about to add any number of burdens, you may exert Mad Mer and discard a event from hand instead.
“‘Whee! Isn’t this exciting, guys?’” (AQ)
 Mad Mer’s Clone
Companion
Strength 5
Vitality 3
Resistance 10
To play, spot Mad Mer
At the start of each Fellowship phase, you may exert this companion and add a burden to take a condition or event into hand from your discard pile.
“‘Same appearance, and same crazed cheerful expression. To be honest, it was a bit unnerving.’”(AQ) |

I posted the Mad Mer one a few days back with a poll, and apparently, people think that "Cynical DCs of real people are funny" so I’m throwing my "real-world parody" DCs all together into a set for the amusement of those who are amused by them.
mm: I’ll hold you to that promise.... Just wait ’till I get the minion version of her up.... |

OMG! I can’t believe you remembered that quote.
That was when I was a little lacking in tact. Like...
"THE OTHER TEAM IS CHEATING!"
Yeah....okay, first year. 
I’d like to see a Caitlin one. 
BTW, the AD ring-bearer can be started as NOT the ring-bearer for 0, as worded now.
Oh, run some sorta Kritik condition for me. I love Kritiks. And use the "THE OTHER TEAM IS CHEATING!!!!"
I’m telling you, Dan just about killed me after that one...
Oh, and don’t forget the LotR Subtournaments at all of the debate tournaments. That’s actually how I got into LotR, matter of fact. |

Pretty amusing stuff.
Don’t mind anyone making fun of your headwear. I have an official Indiana Jones fedora ("official" meaning from the Indiana Jones Store in Disneyworld  ) that I wore all through high school. (Not IN school, mind you, but mostly at marching band practices and such.) People mocked it at first...then they wanted to wear it. Then it became like the symbol of our band, to the point that I became known as "The Hat". I eventually had to replace it because it simply wore out...and I special-ordered a new one from that same store in Disneyworld. I still have both, and in fact, wore the new one just yesterday to keep the snow off my face. Now it looks professional rather than silly since I wear it with my work clothes...just like they did back in the day when nearly EVERYONE wore fedoras. 
So, like I said, you wear that hat! And tell anyone that doesn’t like it to bugger off. They’re probably just jealous, anyway.  |
