Personally, I always liked Kvothe from the Kingkiller Chronicle.
Dragonian Alliance, Tethys 13, Villains, Vegan reich, and 2 othersCommunistic Anarchy and Nature, and Mondie
This question is so perfect. We could be here for months. No, years. It's gonna take me three or four days just to put together my first answer.
Question of the Day:
Which fictional characters who are designed to be 'cool' fail the most at accomplishing it?
Dragonian Alliance, Arkadia Universalis, Mondie, The gilded rose, and 1 otherPoodye
All of the new characters from the Disney Star Wars trilogy.
Honestly, it's kinda hard to name a movie character that Disney doesn't own at this point. Maybe Grendel from Grendel (2007)?

Currently, I'm gonna go with the Hollow Knight Protagonist
Katniss from the Hunger Games
My favourite sky is a sky with white clouds scattered all over.
I know absolutely nothing about being 'cool' or what constitutes it. That said, I do think the 'coolest' (almost parallel with my personal favourite) fictional characters I've ever witnessed include: Rago (Beyblade), Kanako Yasaka (Touhou Project), Asgore Dreemurr (Undertale), Naho Saenoki (Corpse Party), Mizore Shirayuki (Rosario + Vampire), Von Kaiser (Punch-Out!!), Yoshikage Kira (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Lisa Loud (The Loud House), Ongo (Jelly Jamm), Yukari Yakumo (Touhou Project), Ibuki Mioda (Danganronpa), Kratos (God of War), Ryosuke Takahashi (Initial D), Rococo Urupa (Inazuma Eleven), Peko Pekoyama (Danganronpa), Sig (Puyo Puyo), Chuck Greene (Dead Rising), Damian Hart (Beyblade), England (Hetalia), Lord Blumiere (Paper Mario), Mina (Jelly Jamm), Niko Bellic (Grand Theft Auto), Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean), Yveltal (Pokémon), Mikhail Faustin (Grand Theft Auto), Chihiro Fujisaki (Danganronpa), Edgar Valtinas (Inazuma Eleven), Eirin Yagokoro (Touhou Project), Nagisa Shingetsu (Danganronpa), Maxie (Pokémon), Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney), Galeem (Super Smash Brothers), Dynamis (Beyblade), Chikage (Nagasarete Airanto), Sakutaro Morishige (Corpse Party), Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk), Patrick Mercer (Trauma Center), Yomiel (Ghost Trick), Sigma Klim (Zero Escape), Seiya Nishikage (Inazuma Eleven), Jonathan Joestar (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Dark Pit (Kid Icarus), Suu (Monster Musume), Jean Descole (Professor Layton), Hyouka Fuwa (Shimoneta), Isaac Moriah (The Binding of Isaac), Lucy Loud (The Loud House), Eiki Shiki (Touhou Project), Vrak (Power Rangers), etc..
There really is a lot. But then again, I know nothing about being cool.
Dragonian Alliance, Tethys 13, Mondie, Blue bubble, and 1 other-ShippingFan
Question of the Day:
What is your comfort temperature?
As Mondie, somewhere underneath 20 F, or -6 C. Or super underneath those numbers.
23 C to 30 C depending on the weather, 25 C - 27 C with clear skies
15 C at the highest, 5 C at the lowest.

"Temperature" by Sean Paul, final answer, no take backs.
Tethys 13 and Zenix vinille
Question of the Day:
What do you think of the new and changed statistics, and your placement in them?
Dragonian Alliance, Arkadia Universalis, and Zenix vinille
I was ranked top 10% in the world for Food Quality. I think I have done very well for myself.
#49 in patriotism regionally. I guess making it illegal to not have a national flag was a good move.
I was never taught the proper temperature, but cold. The dead of winter. Anything that gives me an excuse to wrap up in blankets with a warm cup of tea and a record or two
Hello all! It is I, the Culture Minister of Forest!
I'm pleased to announce the launch of our new-look environmental agenda; The Voice of Forest is a monthly bulletin that covers the life and work of a notable environmental activist. With this project, I aim to inspire you folks and nations across the NSverse to get involved with environmentalism in a way that's personal to them, as well as to celebrate those Atlantean figures who laid the groundwork of the environmental movement we champion today. It's not something that's meant to be prescriptive; I won't tell you what is important about each activist, but instead hope each reader will come away with their own perspective on the individual and the issues discussed.
So, without further ado, I've published the very first issue of the Voice of Forest, entitled "The First Lady of Flowers". It focuses on the efforts of Lady Bird Johnson to beautify urban areas in the US and conserve native flora for the enjoyment of people across the country. Please have a read, if you can spare the time, and know that you're always welcome to discuss what you read either here or on the Forest RMB!

Background
A friend in Austin introduced Lady Bird to Lyndon Baines Johnson, then a 26-year-old Congressional aide, who proposed after their first date. She did not want to rush into marriage, but thanks to his persistence she accepted his proposal ten weeks later. It was Lady Bird's inheritance that funded the launch of her husband's campaign to become a Congressman; when he enlisted in the navy at the start of the Second World War, Lady Bird ran his congressional office. During the war, Lady Bird spent $17,500 of her inheritance to buy a small local radio station in Austin and later expanded to buying a television station in 1952 (in spite of her husband's objections). Lady Bird managed both of those enterprises and in doing so she became a self-made millionaire.
As Second Lady of the United States of America, she acted as a substitute for the First Lady, Jaqueline Kennedy, at a number of events which she would later say prepared her well for her time as First Lady. That time arrived sooner than Lady Bird could ever have expected - after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 she found herself looking on as her husband was sworn in as President on Air Force One. During her time in the office of First Lady, Lady Bird employed her own press secretary and chief of staff (being the first First Lady to do so). In 1964, she defied death threats during a 1,682-mile tour of the Deep South aboard a chartered train, the Lady Bird Special, to speak directly to those who opposed her husband's recent passage of the Civil Rights Act. In doing so, she became the first President's spouse to campaign independently of her husband; as a native Texan, she later said she had thought it important that someone speak to Southern voters with respect while trying to change as many minds as possible about the necessity of desegregation and the importance of ending racial discrimination.
After the death of her husband in 1973, Lady Bird continued working on a number of personal projects and managing her investments. She spoke out for women's rights at the 1977 National Women's Conference alongside notable activists Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem, and her environmental activism continued into her later years. Lady Bird died in 2007 at the age of 94 and was buried next to her husband at the Johnson family cemetery in Stonewall, Texas.
Activism
Baines Johnson, as he signs the Highway Beautification Act into
law (1965).
Lady Bird was also the driving force behind the 1965 Highway Beautification Act, a piece of legislation that aimed to replace highway billboards and junkyards with trees and wildflowers - so much so that the legislation was nicknamed "Lady Bird's Bill". As the first First Lady to lobby congress for the passage of a bill, she gained a reputation as a trailblazer who strongly believed that clean streets and a beautiful environment would make the US a better place to live. The Act brought nature back into the daily lives of millions of citizens, and Lady Bird's campaigning brought the subject of conservation to the public sphere.
Even after her time in the office of First Lady came to a close, Lady Bird continued to campaign for several beautification projects, including Town Lake in Austin (which would later be renamed in her honour), and served on the advisory board of the National Park Service. Together with actress Helen Hayes, she founded the National Wildflower Research Center near Austin, Texas, in 1982 which would later be renamed the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Today, the wildflower centre is still dedicated to the preservation and use of native plants through research and education. It is often seen as an embodiment of Lady Bird's vision to protect and preserve the natural beauty of the US, both taking care of nature and communities while integrating the two. After founding the centre, Lady Bird would go on to write: "I'm optimistic that the world of native plants will not only survive, but will thrive for environmental and economic reasons, and for reasons of the heart."
Largely....meh. The changes didn't affect my 1% stats at all.
I placed in the top 2% for patriotism (2476th globally, so.... nearly top 1%).
Tourism fell from 2373rd (nearly 1%) to 4252nd, which is kinda unepic.
Civil rights went up by 2 (pushing my stat from 'outlawed' to 'unheard of'), so I guess I'll be oppressing my citizens a lot in the coming issues.
Oh, and I placed in the top 99% for Food Quality XD. Big Boyz was never known for its fine cuisine, I guess....
