Thanks Suleman, it did take a few attempts to achieve, though I probably could have done better.

Jace, a sixteen year old, was cycling through the wood at the base of the mountain that overlooked his home city. Since his father had started working on a secret project that he would not tell him about, he had no time for Jace, so he decided to go and practice his archery in the wood.  He proceeded up a rocky path that lead him up the mountain until it abruptly ended at an overlook that gave a great view of the city. Jace drew his bow and unsheathed an arrow, he readied the arrow and aimed at one of the targets, in the trees, that he’d hung earlier. He let go. The arrow whistled through the air and struck the target a few centimeters off center. “Yes” he muttered, he readied another arrow and fired again, “Bullseye!” he shouted. He fired at the targets three more times, each time hitting the center. By this time it was beginning to get dark, Jace readied one final arrow and was ready to fire, when, out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure cloaked all in black with a large walking stick, at least he thought it was a walking stick. Jace instantly and involuntarily swiveled to get a better look, but just as his bow was pointing at the figure he lost his grip and fired the arrow. The arrow hurtled through the sky towards it’s target, Jace’s face paled, the arrow hit the man directly in the head killing him instantly.

Jace hurriedly packed up his bow and cycled as fast as he could to his victim. He had never meant to shoot the man, it was an involuntary reaction, oh how he was in such trouble now. When he finally arrived at the corpse, he pulled back the cloak to reveal a pile of ash and his arrow, Jace could scarcely believe it, where was the body? He sighed, at least no body means no crime , he thought, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched. Careful not to show any guilt, in case he was being watched, he went to pick up the walking stick that had been thrown from the body and was now poking out from under a bush. When the tip of Jace’s finger touched the handle, he instantly blacked out.

He woke up, his head aching like nothing he had felt before, he thought this must be how a hangover felt. He started to sit up when he noticed the abundance of skull motifs and other Gothic paraphernalia cluttering the room. Suddenly he felt a chill and went to wrap his arms around himself when he noticed his hands were just bones, no skin, no muscle, nothing. He was scared now, he didn’t know where he was, what he was, or for that matter who he was. In fact he couldn’t remember anything at all.  He looked to the side-table next to the stone bed he had been laying on, there was a book entitled ‘The Reaper’s Manual’, he froze and came to the horrible conclusion  he was dead.

Well I was going to post the picture with this , but there’s more information that relates the the picture and I don’t want to make the post too long. So at some point later this week I will conclude this story.

P.S –  I’m curious if anyone can guess who Jace’s father is?

Thanks AMS, I thought it would be nice if everyone was able to pitch in on a project.

Whoa! Man you are really talented. I especially like JZ, he looks like he’s come straight out of an anime.

Thanks Nug! I had a great holiday, unfortunately now I’m battling a cold – but I won’t let is stop me!

……..

A hint at what is to come?

(On my thread that is! I’m not being philosophical or anything.)

WARNING long post ahead!

Happy New year everyone!

I am posting two characters with interlocking bio’s

 

At the age of fourteen, James and Robert, twins who were believed to have mild psychic powers were acquired by A.E.G.I.S scientists who wanted to discover the extent of their power. The tests started off very simply with one of them remembering a word or picture and trying to telepathically transmit it to the other, this had about a 50% success rate.  But then the tests got more severe, Robert was inflicted with increasing levels of pain to see if James could feel it – he could not. The tests had a very negative affect on Robert,  he began to develop dark horrible thoughts and started to hear voices telling him  to do terrible things, but throughout the pain he didn’t forget his selfish brother who got no pain inflicted, no bruises, no scars and didn’t even try to help him. James was horrified at what was happening to Robert he tried to help, but could not, although he could not feel Robert’s pain James could feel Robert’s anger and emotional pain – he tried to telepathically talk to Robert but his mind was to clouded with hate and suffering. Eventually Robert fell into a coma and the final stage of the tests began. Both Robert and James were hooked up to a machine that was designed to transfer the powers of one twin into the other, the machine worked but at a cost, Robert did not survive the experiment.

Eight years later and James escaped A.E.G.I.S to join up with a group who were trying to bring them down. The group also dealt with other villains, when A.E.G.I.S’ Elite team didn’t beat them there. One such villain was the ‘Cardiac Killer’, or so he was dubbed,  a masked villain who had two wrist mounted electrified blades which he used to penetrate either side of the heart and cause cardiac arrests. When James now under the name of (coming soon) finally came face to face with the ‘Cardiac Killer’ , he tried to telepathically control him, but he couldn’t control him, his mind was filled with hundreds of voices all saying terrible things, but then James heard something that made him shudder – “Help me James they’re hurting me! Help!” over and over. Could this really be Robert, but Robert was dead – or was he?

Congratulations if you made it this far! I know it’s a long story but I couldn’t  didn’t want to cut it down.

These make me wish I would have just asked everyone to come up with a villain. 

Well I’m taking that as an opening for more villains so here is my villainous duo the Anti-Greens (I know it’s a bad name.) I left the Logo a little bare, I’m surprised there isn’t a knife or fork in the machine. They will stop at nothing to stop people from eating vegetables – especially children. I give you Carrot and Broccoli (not very original).

No worries MadJack, I’ve been backing up te text files scince your previous load of items so I haven’t lost anything good, mostly just old creations that were pretty bad and hadn’t gotten round to deleting anyway.  I use chrome so I guess that makes me the exception that proves the rule! All of my recent creations have been saved externally so I still have everything I’ve uploaded to the forums. I save every few minutes anyway because I’m a little clumsy and sometimes hit the Ads which navigates away from HM and erases all my work. So all in all I was prepared for this and I haven’t lost anything important.

BTW: I had to clear my cache twice to get all of the items in your last bundle so maybe that is what caused the loss?

Anyway don’t worry I don’t blame you, It was a risk I was prepared to take.

Thanks for all the supportive comments guys and have a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, good Quanza and good wishes in any other seasonal celebrations may be going on!
