And is it only for me or is Lori Central blocked to everyone?

And what happened to FQuist? He didn't show up for ages!

Lori Central is archived.

Quist is also archived.

Probably due to lack of interest and activity, so it got archived. The subject was too niche anyway, there wasn't a lot of space for discussion.

She's not a very dynamic character.

Jazz is the underdog mercenary trying to catch a break. Spaz is his lunatic brother / comic relief. Lori is... A girl.

Its like...
"hey, lets make the new character a girl"
"How do we design a female character?"
"Well... She needs to cary a mirror around all the time because that's something girls do. This helps the player identify that she is indeed female.".
"Lets make her physically fit, too."
"Great! So we have a physically fit female who likes to look at herself in the mirror."
"Yep, that's a female all right."

And that's where the expanded universe comes in.

have you seen anyone ever elaborate on Lori's personality

even DrJones didn't go further than "she's my girlfriend because I said so"

I was joking(I have a very British sense of humour in that it's generally either ironic, sarcastic, or both, and usually with a very dry delivery, so imagine Bill Murray's sense of humour, but spoken in a British voice).

I'm actually not that familiar with the whole Loricentral fanon of Lori's personality, backstory/afterstory, etc.(And if there's no such thing as this "Loricentral fanon", then that further shows how little I know about that whole thing), so I was mostly making that post in an attempt to add some humour to the situation(I do that a lot).

If you want a more serious response, here you go: If there is ever a continuation of the Jazz series, and they actually do have Lori featured in it, I think they'll most likely either give her a backstory, or make fun of the lack of backstory/character depth of her appearance in JJ2.

I might look like a dedicated Lori fan but my obsession is actually not her.

I suck at drawing Razz and he's just some unreleased character.

I had used Lori a lot in jj2 online play, back when she was considered a noob character. I felt sorry for the hate she got and I wanted to suprise others. Also it's just more satisfying to beat someone when you're not Spaz.

But I got to admit there's not much to say about her. Making stories about Lori can just go in the war tavern, it doesn't particularly need a subforum for it. That avatar I made was a warmup to insane pixelart colouring.

I actually do have my little headcanons/backstory for her, but if I were to put them it would be in general Jazz jackrabbit talk (since I have ones for other characters), why should I centralise it to her?

Jazz is a mercenary. Spaz is a fisherman. But who is Lori? A ninja?
Jazz is a Sonic clone, Spaz is a dopefish clone, Lori must be a Lara Croft clone?

Once upon a time each website had its own forum... LoriCentral's just happened to be hosted by Jazz2Online (and Jazz2City before that, I think). Now LoriCentral (http://www.loricentral.com/) itself is mostly dead/archived, the forum was better off closed as well.

May I suggest that the last post in the LC forum should at least be in a different thread than 'Lori is a bori'. Now we have that insult all over every archived JCF frontpage all over the web.. 8D

Yes, BUT think about how many people will no longer laugh now that you removed my post.

And no, Lori isn't a "bori", whatever "bori" even means.

According to the Dutch Wikipedia, a bori (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/bori) is the Dutch name for some kind of rat.

So that makes Lori no bori. :7

Whenever I hear the phrase "lori is a bori" I think of the neopet bori with Lori's face cheesily pasted onto one.
