KOBRA MUD Character Jawasan
Jawasan is the name of the nefarious character that played for some time on the Telnet KOBRA Multi-User Dungeon of the early 1990's.

The character Jawasan gained enough of a Force level to be able to use the EMOTE command. This enabled the user to type actions so that any other player in the same room would read the command as if it were part of the game play, even though the action never occurred. For example:

Given a dungeon room with Jawasan and another player Han Noodles:

Han:    Hey Jawasan Jawasan: Hey Han. How's Leia? Han:    Haa. That wench. She doesn't fit in her bikini anymore. - User Darth Vitreous enters the room

(At this point, Jawasan enters the command, 'EMOTE Darth Vitreous severs Han Noodle's left arm with his lightsaber'. The dungeon screenplay follows: )

-Darth Vitreous severs Han Noodle's left arm with his lightsaber Han:            What the *^%$, man!!! Jawasan:        That's gotta hurt Darth Vitreous: What?? I didn't do anything

Hilarity ensues. (In Jawasan's mind, anyway) This continued for many Telnet sessions. Sadly, Jawasan never bothered to progress his character beyond this ability. This resulted in the Gamemasters blocking the entire Telnet node of Alfred University (Alfred, NY). Such was typical behavior of the person whom created the Jawasan character.

To this day, his real-life character is also in an arrested state of development, having acquired only the minimal resources of communication, to be able to inspire irascibility of his fellow humans.
