Snap

In the vast underground kingdom of King Mederex, there are several kinds of people. The normal humans and the mystical red people are the ruling class. Several other groups, strong hairy ogre types and talking cats among them, make up a middle class who are living well. The lizard people are the lowest class. And they’re sick of it.

Snap is the illegitimate daughter of a Lizard Man shaman and she has inherited some of his mystical power. Though she doesn’t know about her true parentage, she has begun to find out about her abilities, and she’s using them to strike at the upper classes whenever possible. She’s been doing a lot of vandalism and petty theft on one hand, but she also steps up against the abuses of those in power against those who are powerless. Does this make her a good guy or a bad guy? For now, it depends who you ask, and only time will tell where she goes from here.

Bally the Crystal Ball

Hey everybody! It’s Bally! It’s Bally the Crystal Ball! Let’s all hang out with Bally!

Bally is a talking, flying crystal ball and he’s here to fly around and talk to us. There’s no crystal ball that can do that better than Bally can.

When the idea of a flying, talking crystal ball came to me, I thought “that sounds easy to draw” so I drew it. And there he is. I have no idea really what I’m going to do with the character now, though. If I ever make a wizard-themed puzzle game, maybe Bally can be the tutorial guide.

The Mind Diver

The Mind Diver is Captain Drake Marko. Drake wears the suit made from the remains of a giant imaginary monster that was captured and killed by the military. Since the creature was imaginary, its natural habitat is in the mind. By wearing the suit, Drake can dive into the thoughts of anyone and mess things up in all sorts of ways. In this manner Drake can interrogate enemies for information, or attack targets from a distance via dreams, or even reach into a comatose person’s mind to help them out. If the military needs mental dirty work done, the Mind Diver is there to work those dirty minds… or something.

I don’t picture Mind Diver being a particularly imaginative. The suit does all the work for Drake, but opponents would be relying on their own mindpower. With that in mind, I picture Drake as one of those unlikeable pompous blowhard characters that you need to have now and then. Probably Drake would work best as a supporting character somewhere else.

The Gravedoctor

Getting a brain in there is one of the most important parts of making a frankenstein. But what happens if you put More Than One Brain In There!!!???!!!

The Gravedoctor is the result of such an experiment. A mad scientist crammed in as many brains as he could find into his frankenstein to see what would happen and the result was a kind of Frankensteingularty. Smarter than his creator, the Gravedoctor took over the lab and started his own mad science work. Creating more frankensteins to serve under him, the Gravedoctor begins a quest to learn the secrets of the universe. But that kind of work requires more workers. But when the supply of bodies at the local graveyard runs out, where is the Gravedoctor going to get the body parts he needs to going? Well, it’s time to start making more bodies out of all those people who are around. Can the world survive as a growing horde of frankensteins sweeps across the globe? Only time will tell.

I’m not going to lie: this week I’m using some sketches that sat around for some time because I had no idea what to do with them.

Bibliomancer X

Anyone can read a lot of books, but Bibiliomancer X’s goal is to read all books ever. Using his wizardly powers to aid this quest, he doesn’t need to sleep, retains all information he takes in, and he reads at speeds that would make machines stagger. He can also project his mind on to the Internet to soar the information superhighway for whatever information he might come across. With this knowledge, he finds patterns and trends that bring him closer to enlightenment and allow him to nearly predict the future.

But with so much of his magical energies devoted to such scholarly tasks, Bibliomancer X is not especially skilled in offense or defense. His library base, on the top floor of a skyscraper, is constantly at risk of attack from his enemies or those who want to steal his valuable books or magical trinkets. This is why Bibliomancer X is one of the most loyal clients of the security agency that employes Securitaur.

Chad Crabhands

Chad Crabhands is your classic bad attitude case. He’s the type of guy who gets pissed off at people and acts childishly in return, then gets more pissed off because everyone is pissed at him. It’s pretty tiring for people who know Chad Crabhands.

Chad works the night shift at a call centre. It’s the only job he’s held down for more than a couple years, so at this point it seems like it’ll be the place he remains as long as he can. He’s got a one-bedroom apartment in a pretty crummy building downtown. He spends a lot of his free time drinking and gambling. He’s got a jeep that he bought used, but it runs pretty well. He intends to take it out of the city for a trip through the woods, but never really finds the time. His parents are both dead. He was an only child. His favorite type of cereal stopped being made a few years ago. He has a recurring dream in which he’s lost in a city he’s never been to, in Europe he thinks, and he can’t find a phone.

Oh! Also, he has crab hands as a result of a curse an old lady put on him when he was a kid. That too.
