Pop Quiz: Humanoids

Jeff had added a small town of Companions-Humanoid. So, he wanted to see what we could come up with.

In this scene, a priestess tries to catch the eye of an Imperial Guard. This is also a story for my unfinished saga of “The Three Sisters.”

Temptation at the Temple

I created a similar image using PULP-O-MIZER. Though the priestess is the main character in my story, this raunchy cover made me reconsider. If I ever get around to it, I am going to re-write the story from both the priestess’ and the guard’s perspective.

Well, you have a solid direction as it is. Hmmmm…. The captured werewolf could be setting up encounters through interrogations. Give the appearance that she is cooperative when she’s really guiding the party to do Dracula’s dirty work. Eliminating his rivals, throwing them off his trail. Maybe she uses code (“wolfspeak” or “pack talk”) because she knows the other werewolf is listening in.

Likewise, the “field leader” makes a “daring escape” or is somehow able to get word out to the party. Of course, the information serves only to collaborate the captured werewolf’s leads. Since the Order of the Dragon is corrupt, the party might be inclined to believe that they are aligned with Dracula. Lots of shadow ops. If the players are able to capture one of the Order, maybe he can convince them that they are being played by the vampire.

In frustration and confusion, they party starts laying waste to whatever blood-sucker happens to pop his head out of a coffin. Not knowing that is what Dracula wants. He is culling the undead so he can create a new empire. Why get his hands dirty and alienate the other vampire lords (and ladies)? He has a team of unwitting assassins.

As an added bonus, the -name redacted- organization is sudden beneficiary of a bigger budget and new gear. Little knowing that Dracula is bank-rolling their operation. When his power is secured, or the team is getting too close to the truth, he cuts their funding and issues new bureaucratic rules. Causing more frustration, chaos, and possible in-fighting that will motivate the players to chase any leads given to them.

Yep, I pictured him as an older gentleman. He looks like a G-Man… or is that part of his illusion?

A group of adventurers… magi and monsters in a temple… shape-shifters… mutated onions… icecream is its own reward?

Really great design. US Marine uniforms (“Dress Blues”) are dark blue jackets, white gloves, not sure about the belt… I’ve seen white and red… pants are bright blue with a red stripe along the hemlines. White pants with blue hemlines are often for the Marine’s wedding (Navy / maritime) though most opt for Dress Blues.

Willkommen, Mr.jack! I like what you did with “no face.” The masking works and that left “eye” is great. I like “gold man” because I am partial to black, yellow, and red… hmmmm….

I wonder what kind of powers Princess Pea would have- maybe the ability to detect minute changes in pressure in the air, sort of like a cross between a bat’s echolocation and Toph’s ‘seismic sense’.

Actually, the inherent sense that something is where it SHOULDN’T be (and where that is) would be an interesting power:
Locate stolen items, find bodies, murder weapons, find the poisoned food, know which criminal is actually an undercover cop, know which cop is dirty in the police station, etc. –Because sometimes knowing is half the battle.

Ooh… I like both those ideas. Might have to re-visit Princess Pea.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil – or dinosaurs.

A “steamy” romance.

There is no fixing to this incredible collaboration. Though I hate “parkour”… even “parcours”… so satisfying in “Punisher: War Zone” when he RPGs their stupid a’s… Dumb movie, smart use of rocketry.

Side-tracked… nope, awesome design, story is solid, pose is good, I really do like the character and helmet. He doesn’t seem afraid, helmet off or on… like he knows how to start and finish business. He is smart and tough. An agent, a spy, and a riot cop.

Thank you for the offer, Bass Player. I’m happy to share. No prize necessary. But it seems Brain Jack has twice the villainy between Sideline and Seizure! Fight your way out of this!

AFTER FOREVER
Original Design by Harlekin; Story by The Atomic Punk

What is beyond Heaven? After you have soared above the clouds. After you escape the earth’s gravitational pull. As you travel further into space. What do you expect to find?

When time slows as you approach the speed of light. The abyss seems to grow before your eyes. Staring into the vast expanse of nothing. Expecting to catch a glimpse of something.

The beauty and wonder that pass in the eternal night. Taking a moment to reflect upon the journey. Stepping into the unknown. Reaching into the darkness. There she is. I have found him!

Once we were alone and adrift in this perpetual void. Together, the universe is small and insignificant. The suns are not what warm these hearts. It is always the present even as we move into the future. We are one and forever.

Willkommen, Torog! Great start. I like what you did with “The Evasion.” Her pose is good and the spotlight really sells the story.

[The Atomic Punk]

Thanks, CantDraw. I imagine that Princess Pea fights crime at night because she’s an insomniac.

Couldn’t think of anything, so I went the horn as a horn. I might incorporate the Aulnohg race into a story at some point.

I like how Brainjack’s new costume is the same scheme as his old shoes. How’s this for an adversary?

SIDELINE
Sideline is not a villain; more a foil or nemesis. He is a powerful telepath who thrives on besting others with ESP. You won’t see him in direct combat. He is among the spectators. Seeming to watch the fight unfold. Yet, he is always there for reasons that only he can but refuses to explain. Can he see the future? Is he a secret agent?

Brainjack can feel Sideline’s presence. Many times has Sideline denied Brainjack victory. Villains have escaped battle and even prosecution. Witnesses have had their memories erased. Who is Sideline? What does he want? Why does he stalk Brainjack? What does he even look like? For certain, Brainjack wants answers.
