Character Design Contest ♯36- Reviving The Brand

Basically, Chapter 2 of CCD #35. This time, I chose Nyctalope. The original Nyctalope (link) had nocturnal vision, color-changing irises, and an artificial heart.

My version has the same eye augmentations because of his cybernetic heart.

Of course variety is good here.

Nice. Thanks, Herr D.

Willkommen, Booziken! Muchas gracias. Hope you like this one.

REPLENISHING THE RANKS
Original Characters by Booziken; Story by The Atomic Punk

“We heard that you’re looking for some new guys to join your ‘Liberation Army’? Look no further. My name’s ‘Crack’ and this is ‘Ace,’ my boyo-in-the-box. Say ‘hello’ to his lordship, Ace. Oh, that’s right. He don’t talk to strangers. He usually just kills them. Ya know, ‘S.B.D.’.

“Ease up, boss. Kidding, kidding! We came for some potatoes. Bullets and plasma batteries don’t buy themselves. Curricula vitae? Ace, can you translate that, mate?

“Oh, what have we done? Well, there was that job off the Horn of Africa. Blew that place up! Made it look like a pipeline explosion. Wiped out an entire village.

“You heard of that caper? Our reputation proceeds us, Ace. We’re famous! Right… sorry ‘precedes’ us. You know I never finished my O-Levels.

“What did you think of our handiwork, your generalship? Quite impressive, wot? Took out the fuel supply. Destroyed a dozen trucks and some scooters. Munitions depot went ‘BOOM!’ and sent about 30 or 40 villagers up in the sky.

“I’m sorry, sir. What’d you say? That wasn’t a village? That was one of your rebel training camps? Then I must apologize, m’lord.

“You see, we didn’t get all the terrorists the first time. That’s why we came looking for you – to finish the job.”

Willkommen, Amrie! Nice shading.

[The Atomic Punk]

Loving all of these. Both the originals and pswirve’s designs. If I may, a simple request.

Water

[The Atomic Punk]

Thanks, WMD. I chose Judex because I like cliffhanger serials and matinees. However, a vengeful man who kidnaps guys off the streets then locks them in a dungeon. Yeah, by that description alone…

A request for prswirve’s Versions thread. Water is one of the four ruling Elements from an epic that I will probably never complete.

@WMDBASSPLAYER: If there had been more bodies, the story would be different. Glad you liked my interpretation.

@prswirve: Monologue. In English, if you open a paragraph with double quotes, the same person is speaking in the following paragraphs until you close the quotes.

Also, when I write, if someone is speaking outside the scene (“off-camera”), I use italics.

EXAMPLE

“Hello, it’s the Atomic Punk.

“I am still speaking in this paragraph.

“Now, I will give someone else a turn.“

“Meow, it’s Chloe-Cat.“

“It’s me, again, the Atomic Punk. Chloe, get off my keyboard!“

“Will you two shut up?!?“

MY ENEMY; MY CONSCIENCE
Original Character by Vampyrist; Story by The Atomic Punk

“Good morning, Edward. What have you planned for today? Using your power for corporate espionage? Perhaps another murder for hire?”

“Who? Who’s there?!?”

“Your new client is a most unscrupulous individual. Do you believe that he can be trusted? You read his mind. He has no intention of paying.”

“That voice… No… I killed you… Who is this? Where are you?”

“Perhaps you killed one too many, Edward Somerset-Patton. Maybe you have finally snapped.”

“Who is this ‘Edward Somerset-Patton?’ There is no one here by that name.”

“Hiding behind the façade? You’re right. Edward is no more. There is only Mastermind.”

“Show yourself, imposter! I’m not done killing. You will be dead as soon as I find you.”

“If you wish to find me, look in the bathroom.”

“You twisted freak! There’s no one here.”

“The mirror, Edward.”

“What the… What trick is this? I see Ultra in my reflection. I hear his voice. Impossible, I killed Ultra myself with a psychic spear. What’s going on? Is this some hologram or a ghost?”

“I am neither, Mindblaster. You destroyed my brain but not my mind. Now, I exist within your head.”

“How did this happen?”

“I am not here to answer ‘how,’ Edward. I am here to tell you why.”

[The Atomic Punk]

Thanks, Herr D. I messed around with a few items but couldn’t get a satisfactory lipstick. Running out of time, I just stuck with that one.

Character Design Contest ♯35- Public Domain Literature

Re-imagine a character from the Public Domain. I chose Judex. A mysterious crime-fighter who abducts criminals then interrogates them via television.

THE RONIN’S REVENGE
Original Character by WMDBASSPLAYER; Story by The Atomic Punk

“Hey, Pietro, you hear about Frank and Brenna? They were ambushed by a demon and a satyr the other day. They barely made it out alive. These are some dangerous woods.

“We need to stay alert. Dorrick the Dismemberer is hiding around here. That sadistic psycho mutilates and murders for fun. He is quiet as a worm tunneling under your feet.

“I almost had him once. He snuck up on me on this same bridge. Holding on to the rail gave him enough leverage to take my arm in one swing. If it weren’t for Heinz pushing Dorrick into the river, I would be dead. No one has seen Heinz since. So I have returned to avenge Heinz and myself.

“Pietro? You’re being awful quiet back there. No matter. There’s no sign of Dorrick. Let’s go back to the temple.”

[The Atomic Punk]

Bluefly is cool! Nothing like a villain who obviously enjoys what he does. Can’t wait to see what Amy and crew do next! And you’re welcome.

[The Atomic Punk]

Femme fatale!

[The Atomic Punk]

Thanks, everyone! I have been more inspired to write than to design. Happy for the feedback. And do criticize if I fall short. I am very malleable. There is so much awesome going around HeroMachine, that I want to contribute in my own way.
