    Matriarch and Tshaak are awesome characters. Great details and shading. The flame effects on Tshaak’s mask really pop.

    Memento Mori (Remember That You Will Die)

    “Sibyl! Please, wake up! We have to keep moving!”

    “Unnn…. Dav… David? Am I dead?”

    “We’re both alive thanks to you. Are you strong enough to get up?”

    “I need to rest. My head and back hurt. The demon! Is he still after us?”

    “No, Sibyl, we slew him.”

    “What? How? I closed my eyes wishing that his fire would not harm us.”

    “Yes, the flames went around us like there was a green shield blocking them. Then your eyes opened. They were glowing the same green. Sibyl, you were floating in the air!”

    “Huh? I don’t remember. Then what?”

    “I raised my sword but you grabbed the blade. The sword transformed in my hand! The blade turned into this green energy.

    “The demon leapt and knocked you hard to the ground. He stomped on you. I swore that I heard your spine break! I plunged the sword deep into his back, right between his wings.”

    “The sword, it’s beautiful. David, let me touch the blade.”

    “Of course, Sibyl… Sibyl… No! You’ve stopped breathing! I can’t hear your heartbeat! The green blade… it’s fading… Wait, the energy is returning to Sibyl’s body. Sibyl?!?”

    “Cough… David? Am I dead?”

    “You are very much alive. Here, I will carry you until you are strong enough to walk.”

    “David, is it still chasing us?”

    “I don’t think so, Sibyl, but stay alert! Keep it together.”

    “Gone, everyone’s gone! What do we do now?”

    “If we survived, surely others have. Think, Sibyl. Use your gift to see.”

    “No, no! It’s terrible! I only see that demon chasing us! David, this is a nightmare!”

    “Yes, it is a nightmare. As with any nightmare, try not to be afraid.”

    “That sword didn’t even scratch the demon!”

    “I know, but it’s the only protection that we have.”

    “I see them… mom… dad… Matthew… they’re all dead!”

    “Try to look beyond your house, Sibyl. Do you see the neighborhood? Can you see the city?”

    “Yes, David, there are others! They are also hiding. There are more demons roaming the streets!”

    “We can’t hide in the park forever. Maybe if we find other survivors, we can make sense of all this.”

    “This is my fault, David. I’m so selfish! I wanted the world to change for me! And it did! This is no gift! It’s a curse!”

    “Sibyl, that’s nonsense. Here, let me dry your eyes. Then we must go.”

    Alecto is on of the Furies in Greek Mythology. There are some glaringly obvious influences. Alecto is one of my personal favorites. Don’t know how she would work in a comic, though.

    Too funny! Not a bad idea, though. Maybe have an icon display in the Hall of Fame or a “trophy case” in a Member’s Profile. Wink

    “How do I know that is Richard Matteson? It could be anyone’s skull. And why is it so clean?”

    “Mister Price, believe me, your rival is dead. I had so much fun that almost feel guilty for charging you.”

    “I need more proof. You think that I am going to hand over six million dollars just on your word. What’s with the creepy white make-up, anyway?”

    “Mister Price, please don’t change the subject. I ‘executed’ my part quite well.”

    “I don’t know how I let Revis talk me into hiring an assassin. This is so sundry.”

    “Your friend in the police department will be calling you soon. He will inform you of details of the investigation. He will mention a crib. Please try to act surprised.”

    “Hello, Alex Price speaking. Yes, Lieutenant, how are you this morning? What? Richard Matteson was murdered last night? Why, that’s terrible! In his own home? He has round-the-clock security. Four guards were found dead as well?!?

    “This will undoubtedly shock the pharmaceutical industry. Yes, I promise not to talk about the details of an ongoing investigation. Decapitated? Found where? In the baby’s room?!? In the crib next to his infant daughter?!?!? No, I don’t want to hear anymore. I will see you soon.”

    “Mister Price, I shot him in the head as you requested. After I had removed it from his neck. Mister Price… my money. Thank you.”

    “I hope to never see you again, you heartless…”

    “Of course, Mister Price. Please respect our confidentiality and you never will.”

    I love it. I gave her the dark skin and blond hair so she would have an ambiguous(is that the right word?) ethnicity. But I think Russian/Cuban works perfectly.

    Thanks, headlessgeneral. Her heritage not only explained her look, it helped me move the story forward.

    Love it! I like how you used the mask to create an aura around Atomic Adam’s visor.

    American Girl
    Original Character Design by headlessgeneral; Story by The Atomic Punk

    http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/legacy/forum-image-uploads/headlessgeneral/2013/07/American-Girl.png

    “My mom is originally from Murmansk, Russia. She met my dad in Havana while working on her Masters degree in Political Science.

    “What she didn’t tell him is that she’s a mutant. Surprise! He didn’t tell her that he’s a mutant, too. What happens when two mutants decide to have a baby? The Cuban government kicks in the door.

    “They couldn’t go to Russia because Moscow also had an interest. One fateful night, they got on board a fishing boat that was fleeing for the United States. My mom, 9-months pregnant, and my dad without a penny to his name.

    “No sooner did they step on the Key West beach, my mom goes into labor. Welcome to America, baby girl!

    “My dad was able to find work as a short-order cook at Waffle House. He later became manager of several stores. My mom was able to finish her degree and now works in the Florida State Corrections System. She specializes in the rehabilitation of meta-human convicts.

    “The whole time they kept their abilities secret. They wanted to live normal lives. They wanted me to be safe and happy. To compensate for the monotony, they entered me in various beauty and talent contests. I was an all-American girl.

    “In 2010, the summer before my sophomore year, I was visiting my papa at work. I was excited because we were about to go to the Cheerleading World Finals.

    “A couple of punks rushed in the store demanding money. One had a bat; the other a knife. My dad was willing to give them what they wanted as long as they didn’t hurt anyone and promised to leave. They decided to take me hostage.

    “Dad pleaded with them. Instead, the one with the knife slashed my face. That’s when my dad showed his true power. With the wave of his hand, the pen on the counter shot through the air and stabbed my attacker in his eye. It impaled him. With another wave, a butterknife flew and stabbed the other thug in the shoulder. So forceful, that it stuck out the other side.

    “The secret was out. My dad is telekinetic. When mom came home, she freaked. I was thrilled. I asked her if she knew. Then I asked her if she had any special powers. With a flick of her wrist, everything electric in the house shut off. Another flick, the lights turned back on.

    “To my squee, I discovered that I had both powers! Soon after the attempted robbery, my mom contacted a friend she met through work. Dr. Winters is the director of the Meta-Research Consortium. MRC not only studies mutants, but they help develop our powers and sponsor us. Through training, I am able to use my telekinesis to effectively fly.

    “Thanks to the support of my adoring parents, I won Miss-Meta 2011. Youngest crown evah! Now that I’m 18, I have the option to try out for MRC’s ‘Angels.’ The Angels are mutants trained to assist in catastrophes. That’s noble… but I’d rather be fighting crime.”

    “Know what I think, Cica? Empress Anna is jealous. She owns thousands of nuppas. They attend to her every need and desire. But they are not special like you. You belong to me.

    “Sigh, mother is always right. The clouds are coming in. Good thing that I listened to her and brought my umbrella.

    “This is a good place to rest. We will go inside soon. I want to take a moment to enjoy the refreshing shower.

    “Poor Cica, you are shivering. Let’s get you out of those wet clothes and warm ourselves by the fireplace.”

    ENCOUNTER ON THE HIGH SEA

    “First Mate Pascual, please to write in my journal as I dictate.”

    jeudi, le 12ème de mars

    Aidan has been aboard The Rose Queen but three days. He has already proven himself a risk. The crew delights in his fiery displays. Just yesterday, he almost burned down a sail with his “raging dragon.” I swear, he’s a bigger threat to this ship than the Admiral. I regret accepting this contract. Half a mind to

    “Captain Rane, on deck! Ships to port!”

    “Who are they? What are their colors?”

    “Too far to see from here. Crow, what say you?”

    “If you’d purchase me a bleeding spyglass! Hmmm… aghast! It’s The Hangman’s Noose!”

    “Just our luck, Captain, pirates. Of course, that includes present company.”

    “Quartermaster, this is no jest. They will attack.”

    “With our passenger, shall we try to elude them?”

    “The Rose Queen run from a fight?!? Yes, my uncle would kill me should something happen to Aidan.”

    “Too late! Cannonball!”

    “How did they close in so fast? No time! They’re boarding.”

    “Woohoo! I was getting bored on this floating piece of merde.”

    “Aidan! What are you doing? How dare you insult The Queen. Lock yourself in the cabin. We will fight Captain Beauchamp.”

    “Captain Rane, watch out!”

    “Hey, that fireball knocked off my hat!”

    “Sorry, cousin, didn’t mean to save your neck from the thrust of a cutlass.”

    “Aidan, when this is over…”

    “We’ll be victorious!”

    ***

    “Pascual, have you your quill?”

    vendredi, le 13ème de mars

    Despite my initial impression of Aidan as a reckless whelp, he has proven to be most formidable in combat. He needs to learn to control his gift of fire better. With the right training, he has the potential to be a magnificent incendière.

    Uncle was wrong. The Seas and Islands should know of Aidan. As the newest member of my crew, he will help me bring the fight to the Admiral and the Crown.

    @WMD: Thanks!

    @Herr D: You have no idea how much I wish HeroMachine was around in my younger… days before today. http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/legacy/forum-smileys/sf-wink.gif

    The creativity and vibrancy here is amazing. When I was RPG’ing, I would have loved to have HeroMachine so I could design my characters. Now, it’s a nice break from the mediocrity and routine of pencil-pushing. Pencil… it’s like a keyboard except you have to whittle it once in awhile…

    Previously, I had said that there was no way that I would advance to the finals for Friday Night Fights. I designed this character as part “throwaway” and I was in a purple mood. Also, congratulations to djuby for just blowing our minds throughout this FNF. Well-deserved win!

    FNF: The Finial!
