Little Talk story
Tyber-

Read the story you posted up on my talk page, I like! I'll be reading it a few more times over, maybe making edits to some parts if they need it but don't worry, I won't tell anybody about the end :)

Overall really good! Definitely think you should post it up

Disco Circus (talk) 05:37, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much for taking the time to read it! I'm looking foward to seeing your rendition of it, although I hope you will keep the dialogue the same, because those parts are based off the original song ;)

Tyberzannisultra (talk) 06:09, September 24, 2014 (UTC)Tyberzannisultra

Hahaha I'll try to keep as faithful as I can, nothing too big

Disco Circus (talk) 05:24, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Good, I'm excited to see you edit!

Tyberzannisultra (talk) 20:36, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Started keeping track of the edits and writing them down piece by piece. Got a post on my user blog with the ones I've made so far if you wanna see that

Disco Circus (talk) 07:24, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Looking good so far! Thanks for the help! I'll check back again later, no rush :)

A Creepypasta Question About Elves And What To Name Them User: Mmpratt99 deviantart (talk) 02:13, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

A New Question2
I'm going to send this message once again since I'm not sure if it made it through to your talk page yesterday. It said it did, but I didn't see it.

I was wondering if you have any narrator experience or do you know any one here who has enough time to narrate some fairly long pastas? I tried asking other narrators featured on YouTube, but they either don't reply to my message or they say they would, but then don't have enough time.

Below are the two stories I'm trying to find narrators for>

The Silent Audience--A Historical Note

The Basement of Doom

--User: Mmpratt99 deviantart (talk) 17:36, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I got your message. It was placed within another message. No problem, though. I've actually been reading Basement of Doom, but I stopped at chapter 13 because it was getting late. I'll read the rest of it and The Silent Audience tonight. I've also taken the liberty of rounding up some narrators from YouTube.

To start with, we have the Industry's Juggernauts, but I'm sure you'd like Basement of Doom to be narrated by a female, so here's twoothers. Also, I know this guy named James Jones. He narrated Sun's Revenge, and I'm sure he'd be more then happy to narrate your stories, no matter the length. However, he might want to do Basement of Doom in the Second Person so that it makes more sense.

If you want, I can contact all of these people and persuade them to help you out. I can also have James do a narration as well.

Tyberzannisultra (talk) 23:51, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I would like that very much. Thank you. Would it also be okay if the illustrations I did for these two stories are also incorporated into the narrations or would that be too much?--User: Mmpratt99 deviantart (talk) 23:29, December 27, 2014 (UTC)

It’s no problem at all. And yes, I’ll include the illustrations in my narration. I don’t know what the other YouTubers will want to do, though. Unfortunately I cannot provide a deadline for you as to when I’ll have this done. Holiday season; you know how it is. Happy New Year, by the way!

Review Request
Hey I was wondering if you could review my story in the writers workshop forum, it's called "The Art of Death". I would appreciate if, in your spare time, you could read over it though please keep in mind that it's only about half done.

Listing to and fro
Well, we all knew that the thread would be closed eventually, but it was sure fun while it lasted. I thank you for your compliment (and yes, I do know how cranky Nooth can get). Here are the countdown moments I said I'd find for you.

AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Songs (American Film Institute, 2004)
 * 46. “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from Funny Girl
 * 16. “Evergreen” from the 1970s version of A Star Is Born
 * 13. “People” from Funny Girl (In the special Barbara said at first she thought, “Shouldn’t the happiest people in the world be the ones who don’t need people?” but then she realized what the message of the song was and agreed)
 * 8. “The Way We Were” from The Way We Were (This is a sad song, but it was used in a funny scene in The Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear)

AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movie Quotes (American Film Institute, 2005)
 * 81. “Hello, gorgeous” from Funny Girl (James Brolin said that she did say this to him once, but it didn’t sound right)

200 Greatest Pop Culture Icons
 * 66. Barbara Streisand (Some entries on the list were disappointing, but I agree that Barbara should be included)

100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll (Vh1, 1999)
 * 31. Barbara Streisand (Recently Vh1 had a new “Greatest Women” countdown, but it turned out that it was just women from the past twenty-five years or so. From the little I saw it was disappointing)

100 Greatest Love Songs (Vh1, I think it was either 2003 or 2004)
 * 22. “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” by Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand (According to the segment, they originally recorded two solo versions. A DJ somewhere started playing the solo versions together, and the manufactured duet proved so popular that the record company realized they needed to have them record a real duet)

100 Most Unexpected TV Moments (TV Guide and TV Land, sometime in the 2000s)
 * 20. Barbra Streisand crashes “Coffee Talk” on Saturday Night Live

100 Moments That Rocked TV (Vh1 and TV Guide, 2003)
 * 84. My Name is Barbra, the special that introduced a lot of TV viewers to the singer. (Wait, have we been spelling it wrong this whole time!? I don't know what's what anymore!)

25 Greatest Rock Star Cameos (Vh1, sometime in the 2000s)
 * 1. Barbra Streisand crashes “Coffee Talk” on Saturday Night Live

100 Greatest Artists of Rock & Roll (Vh1, 1998)
 * 34. Buddy Holly (Just a few years ago Vh1 came out with a 100 Greatest Artists list. I haven’t seen the whole thing, but since there are a lot of contemporary artists I fear that the list won’t focus as much on pioneers. I’ll have to see if I can find a copy of the new list)

100 Greatest Rock & Roll Moments on TV (Vh1, pre-2003)
 * 70. In his last television appearance, Buddy Holly performs “Peggy Sue” on American Bandstand (They didn’t have the actual footage, so they showed different footage and talked about Buddy Holly and The Crickets appearing on the show. I forget if it were that same episode, but Dick Clark said that on one episode Buddy confided that he hated to fly. If this were on that episode, then how creepy is that?)

100 Greatest Videos (Vh1, 2001)
 * 27. “Buddy Holly” by Weezer (I know it’s the song title and not the artist, but I’m including it anyway)

Also, "Superstition" was on a couple lists circa 2000-2001. It was number seventeen on the 100 Greatest Pop Songs list (MTV and Rolling Stone) and number twenty-two on the 100 Greatest Rock Songs list (Vh1). That was back when both channels still cared. ~signs and reminisces~ Raidra (talk) 04:27, November 8, 2014 (UTC)

Ahh, you have come through for me! With this information, we shall rule the world!

When she says "Hello gorgeous" it comes out "Hellow gworgeous"

And yes, it is Barbra. We've been doing it wrong.

That is creepy!

Superstition on a Pop list? That can't be right...

So tell me, dear Raidra, did you have all this committee to memory? Did you have to look any of this up or did you already have it on file? I appreciate the time you've taken to compile this for me and present it oh, so neatly. These days it seems as though everyone takes amusement in utterly annihilating my talk page.

I used to watch Vh1 when I was just a wee thing. Thanks for bringing back some memories : )

☢Tyberius Zann☢ Tyberzannisultra (talk) 08:31, November 8, 2014 (UTC)

You're certainly welcome! I'm happy to do it for someone who appreciates it! I looked them up in print-outs and books I had, but interestingly enough, I did have several of these lists completely or partially memorized at one time. Ah, the days when Vh1 was good. Memmmoriesss... light the corners of my minddd...

I think the scanner washed it out a little, but here's a drawing of Van and Genie. As you can see, Van was feeling a little cranky in this drawing. Genie's alias is "Chemist" and Van's is "Subject" (on account of him being subject to health problems due to his drug addiction and now being a test subject for an experimental medicine), but Genie and The White Tigress (the heroine who interacts with Genie and Van) refuse to call him that because they have respect for people. If you want to be Van's friend, you don't call him Subject. I also posted three other characters, Sackcloth (the fair maiden with the sleeping gas gun and the ash gun) and her two assistants, Outfitter and Outsider. Raidra (talk) 14:53, November 14, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this all up for me to see. I remember falling asleep in front of the TV to Vh1's countdowns. Those really were the days. I found a few of my favorite songs on that channel!

I like these drawings! The scanner seems to be working fine; as they appear to be of high quality. You have a nifty style, it reminds me of Egyptian hieroglyphics, (everything is profile, the eyes are quite large and the feet are long, characters are depicted as almost canine in nature). Very nice, very unique. I believe I have another artist to compete with now ;)

I think Outsider is my favorite.

Tyberzannisultra (talk) 00:21, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

~laughs~ I don't know about competition, but I'm glad you liked them! I appreciate the compliments about my style.

I actually have a scene in mind for when I do the issue introducing Outsider. Sackcloth, the vigilante Outsider assists, is really a wealthy woman. I plan to have a scene in which Outfitter and Outsider are outside a fancy club or restaurant that they were barred from earlier. The snooty guy at the door still won't let them in, but then he discovers who they're friends with and he falls over himself welcoming them in. Who doesn't love A) an underdog finally getting recognition and B) a snooty guy having to humble himself (other than the snooty guy)?

I'm writing a guide for my heroes and villains. Here are the entries for Outsider, Outfitter, and Sackcloth (In case you're wondering why I didn't post entries for Genie and Van, it's because I haven't finished them yet).

Outfitter and Outsider

Secret identities- Outfitter: Carter Reeves. Outsider: Jared Martin

Birthplaces- Outfitter: California. Outsider: Pennsylvania

Occupations- Outfitter: army surplus store clerk. Outsider: clothing store clerk

List of powers, abilities, and weapons- combat skill, marksmanship, ninja stars

Status- minor allies, members of Shophetim

First appearances- Shophetim#16

Personalities- Outfitter and Outsider have caring, helpful, and brave personalities. They both felt a connection to Ramona Rue, going on to become her close friends and assistants in her Sackcloth activities. Outfitter is more serious, but he isn’t stern. Outsider is more mellow and casual, but he has definite senses of duty and honor.

Appearance- Outfitter and Outsider are male Caucasian humans. Outfitter has light brown hair with three tufts and Outsider has blond hair with three tufts. Outfitter often wears a turquoise shirt, gray pants, black boots, and a reddish-brown belt with a gold buckle. Outsider often wears a light gray shirt with a white skull in an orange flame, light brown pants, short white boots, dark red fingerless gloves, a black leather belt with silver studs, and a silver cross necklace. They both wear gray backpacks while crime-fighting.

Entry- When Ramona Rue, on her way to becoming the vigilante Sackcloth, entered the army surplus/camping supplies store in which Carter Reeves worked, he felt a connection to her. After selling her gloves, boots, and a protective mask, he suggested that she go to the store where his friend Jared worked. Jared felt the same connection to her and sold her the rest of the supplies she needed. The two friends saw Sackcloth in action and realized that she was the same woman. Later on, they helped Sackcloth and The White Tigress stop the crook who had attacked Sackcloth. Moved by how caring the young men were, Sackcloth invited them to fight crime by her side. They gladly accepted, Carter taking the codename “Outfitter” and Jared going by “Outsider”. They now assist Sackcloth in her battle against injustice.

Description of powers, abilities, and weapons- Both Outfitter and Outsider are good fighters and can hit a target with accuracy. They are armed with ninja stars which can be used to injure or distract an opponent.

Weaknesses- Outfitter and Outsider are susceptible to the same weaknesses as an ordinary person (extreme temperatures, poison gas, etc.).

Trivia- Outsider’s name comes from the genre outsider music, which is unconventional music performed by social outsiders or by musicians who live and work in seclusion. Outfitter’s workplace was inspired by a (now-closed) Dayton store called G.S. Outfitters. When trying to name the character I found the word, thought of the store, and realized the name was right there all along.

Sackcloth

Secret identity- Ramona Rue

Birthplace- Pennsylvania

Occupation- heiress/designer

List of powers, abilities, and weapons- gas gun, ash gun, combat skill, stealth, intelligence

Status- vigilante, member of Shophetim

First appearance- Shophetim#16 (Ramona first appeared in WT#77)

Personality- Sackcloth is bright, confident, dignified, and strong-willed. When inspiration hits her she’ll start drawing designs anywhere, even at a business luncheon or dinner with friends, but she is far from self-absorbed and continues to engage in conversation. She is proud, but is also unpretentious and doesn’t hesitate to lower herself to help others. At one point she started to succumb to temptation and entered into an unscrupulous business deal. However, her better nature came out when she found out what kind of person she was dealing with and tried to end her dealings with him. When tortured by the criminal, she refused to give into him and only became more determined to stop him. She became a vigilante to stop him and continued because she wanted to help others. She doesn’t care about whether people know her secret identity or not. She is very good friends with Tad Thomas and Tabitha Thomas, better known as The White Tigress, and is very close to her sidekicks, Outfitter and Outsider, who helped her in her time of need.

Appearance- Sackcloth is a female Caucasian human with long, thick, red hair. Her costume consists of a black shirt, skirt, boots, and protective mask, a brown sackcloth poncho, a silver belt, and white gloves. She also coats her neck with ashes.

Entry- Ramona Rue is a wealthy and intelligent designer (clothing accessories, furniture, toys, etc.) who lives in a city not far from Karasburg. She got involved with a businessman who turned out to be a sadistic criminal. When she tried to end her dealings with him, he had his men torture her. When she refused to give into him, he drugged her, told her to stop him if she could, and abandoned her in a ditch. Determined to stop him (and not knowing her friend Tabitha Thomas was really The White Tigress), she decided to form her own crime-fighting identity. Getting materials from the men later dubbed “Outfitter” and “Outsider”, she made herself weapons and a costume. The White Tigress, investigating Ramona’s disappearance, found her and, along with Outfitter and Outsider, stopped the evil businessman. Wanting to help others who were suffering at the hands of criminals, she decided to continue being a vigilante. She now fights for justice with the help of Outfitter and Outsider.

Description of powers, abilities, and weapons- Sackcloth is very smart with a good degree of stealth. She is a good fighter and is armed with two special guns. One shoots ashes (to distract an opponent) and the other shoots knock-out gas (to knock-out an opponent).

Weaknesses- Sackcloth is susceptible to the same weaknesses as an ordinary person (extreme temperatures, poison gas, etc.). Her mask protects her against poison gas, so she can only be gassed if she’s not wearing her mask.

Trivia- Sackcloth was inspired by multiple sources. The mask came from, of all things, an episode of the cartoon Camp Lazlo. The idea of a penitent heroine came from Biblical passages about people repenting in sackcloth and ashes. I also decided it would be a riveting story to have a mysterious, penitent character who turned out to be a familiar figure. Those factors combined to form Sackcloth. Sackcloth’s gas gun makes sense because of her mask, but it’s also reminiscent of various Golden Age vigilantes, such as the original version of Sandman from DC Comics. Also, there really are guns that can fire a spray of mace. In keeping with the penitence theme, her last name is a word meaning “regret”, “sorrow”, or “remorse”. Raidra (talk) 14:36, November 17, 2014 (UTC)

This is all just...so very awesome. You mention a seventy-seventh issue of a comic series, which means you have over 77 comics?! That's amazing! I've only managed to make a dozen comics in my time. You're very productive and thorough with your descriptions and backstory of each character. All too often characters are deprived of a good backstory, and that makes them Two-Dimensional. A part of me really wants to read all of these comics! I'll bet I could get lost in your world.

I've got a few characters of my own that I include in my comics. I've got myself, and then I have my Alter-Ego. His name is Original Man, and his purpose is to make fun of my inability to be original. In each of his comics he comes up with crazy "get rich quick" schemes. At the end of each comic, he gives the scheme a name that is slightly different from an existing, copyright name, and then he says "Stay creative, my friends." I should show you him sometime, if you are so inclined. I draw in Anime style, but when I draw myself and my family/friends, I draw their Minecraft characters (blocky heads and everything).

Tyberzannisultra (talk) 22:20, November 17, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I do have more than 77 altogether, but I haven't actually reached WT#77 yet. I have the list of issues I'd like to do and very short descriptions of what I'd like to do in this or that issue (introduce this character, feature that villain, etc.). I have a basic idea and then I make it up as I go long, which sometimes inspires creativity and other times sorta drives it into the rocks, but it's all good. I've been making comic books since I was 13 (1996). They started out being ten pages long, then became twelve pages long, and now I'm thinking about doing a "random page number" format (Random page number format, folks!  Go crazy!). My output isn't as productive as it used to be, but if I'm happy with my work, it doesn't really matter. Characters include humans, human-animal hybrids, talking animals, aliens, and other creatures. It's interesting because on one hand I've done issues on some very serious topics (I had an issue in which a character revealed that he was a recovering heroin addict) and then on the other hand there are some outright bizarre and silly things in my comics (I have one character who's a superpowered Teletubby - yes, you read that right - and another character named "Better Days Aside" after a mondegreen, or misheard lyric, of the song "Bette Davis Eyes"). For the most part, though, they're semi-serious, staying lighthearted and even humorous. I did a two-page comic for a project in 12th grade, and I concluded it by saying the crook had been arrested "while trying to rob The Bulge, an all-you-can-eat buffet/weight-loss clinic." My friend Nick (who I gave the issue to after it was graded) replied, "Kind of tongue-in-cheek there, aren't you?"

It's funny how Original Man pretty such is subtly (or is it blatantly?) ripping off things. I would like to see that. Thanks for the compliments and laughs in the blogs! I appreciate them all. :-D Raidra (talk) 14:36, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

What I do is I write down the punchline of whatever joke I'm trying to convey, then build the comic around it. Sometimes when I get into hassles with people, I make Rageface comics about them afterward. In my notes I'll write "Make the Curse You >insert name here< comic" and then make it later. In my notes I have to make a comic about someone named Emily. However, I cannot, for the life of me, remember who this "Emily" is or how she offended me!

I love all of the puns you've got here. I lol'ed pretty hard at "All you can eat buffet/ weight loss clinic". Leave it to the corporations of today to construct such a round-about facility as that. If my indie-game ever makes it public, can I please have that building somewhere in the game? It's too sweet to pass up!

I somewhat agree with Nick. Your stories seem pretty serious to me, from what you've told me, although the comic you showed me was quite the opposite.

Original Man? Oh, he steals just about everything. I took the liberty of restoring his first two comics and presenting them here:

Tyberzannisultra (talk) 23:17, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

~laughs~ I thought the "cow-flipping" one was funny. I also thought it was funny how he does random bizarre things before enacting his scams. At first I thought the window-licking was part of a scam (like he'd lick the window and then demand payment for "cleaning" it), but no, apparently this is something he does for jollies! In any case, thanks for posting!

Sure, you can have your own The Bulge franchise in your works! Feel free to have as many as you want. Just let me see the design when you do, and give me credit if anyone asks. Raidra (talk) 14:55, November 21, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! You see, every comic begins with "You can find him >insert ridiculous activity here insert scam here insert profit here<." Then he gives the scam a name and, viola, Stay Creative My Friends! The thing is, the first panel in every comic alludes to the events in the previous comic. In one episode, our anti-hero steals tires from a sleeping man, and in the next comic you can see his Oldsmobile is equipped with balloon tires xD

I was originally planning on putting The Bulge in my stealth game, but I'm starting a new Racing game and I will need a lot of buildings to put around. If I really go through with this, you can expect full credit and a range of samples so you can see it for yourself. As a bonus, if the game goes commercial, you can play for free!

Request Advice On a Recent Story
l was told in the Rough Draft titled (The Revenants) that I was putting too much explanation into characters and appearances, and that less is more. I'm still debating if I should trim it more, especially the description of this disagreeable character named Chelsea. I'm afraid if I trim more off then she'll turn into a one-dimensional prop character.

If you have the time, I would really appreciate some much needed feedback on this.

Van and Genie Profiles
Here are the entries for Genie and Van (most of them, anyway). They're technically classified as villains, but that's only because they're working for a criminal. I personally look at them as good people (even Van, whose made mistakes in his life), and they have a good relationship with the heroine of the book, The White Tigress. In any case, this should shed more light on the characters.

Chemist

Secret identity- Genie Paige

Birthplace- New Jersey

Occupation- chemist/errand girl

List of powers, abilities, and weapons- chemical genius, utility belt, intelligence

Status- villainess

First appearance- WT#49

Personality- Chemist has a humble and quiet, yet strong and resolute personality. She has a dry sense of humor and keeps calm even in tense situations. For example, when Van Rivera, in the midst of a drug-related fit, threatened to kill her for not providing an antidote, she merely replied, “I can understand why you’d feel that way.” Chemist became aware at a young age that while chemistry can help people (by being used to create medicines) it can also be used to hurt people (by being used to create poisons). Finding out about gas warfare during World War I and other deadly chemical weapon attacks led her to become a pacifist, and she swore to use her chemical genius only for good. She only uses non-lethal chemical weapons, she always uses the least amount of force necessary to incapacitate an opponent, and she tries to cause as little harm as possible. Her philosophy, as she explained to Van, is that if you beat someone, you should beat them with a shoelace. Her compassion extends to not wanting to see others harm themselves. She responded to Van injecting himself by noting that it was creepy to see someone shoot up, and she has shown concern about him obsessing over his glory days. Though she doesn’t like people to suffer, she makes use of aversion therapy to help people overcome their drug addictions and obtain sobriety. This is because she believes it’s better to endure some suffering now in order to be well and happy in the future. Her altruism, honesty, and thoroughness make her very trustworthy. She is good at persuading people, but she only persuades people to do things for their own good. She is a Christian who greatly respects Jewish culture and philosophy, especially the Talmud. In fact, her “shoelace philosophy” is related to a Talmudic passage calling on parents to remember to have mercy when disciplining children. She is proud of her British-American heritage and shows it by using British pronunciations, spellings, and slang terms. She also has knowledge about Italian culture, and she & Van sometimes communicate in Italian. She is close to Van and is quite fond of him. For instance, she made him a transparent protective mask, saying it would be a shame to cover such a handsome face. Though she is his boss, nurse, and “principal” (the person protected by a bodyguard), they have an informal relationship. She may refer to him as “Subject”, “Initial Subject”, or “Subject Rivera” in the notes for her clinical trials, she does not use the nickname “Subject”, instead calling him by his first name or a pet name. She sometimes calls him “Giovenco” (Italian for “Bullock”) or “Mi Tesoro” (an Italian phrase literally meaning “My Treasure” and figuratively meaning “My Darling” or “My Lamb”). Because of her interest in Van’s well-being she doesn’t like Van seeing other healthcare workers, believing that they can’t help him as well as she can. She is a teetotaler and is falling into Van’s habit of sleeping in late.

Appearance- Chemist is a female Caucasian human of English-American heritage. She has bronze hair worn in a long braid held with a ponytail holder the same color as her top. She wears a white lab coat, a light blue violet shirt, a light green skirt, a light brown utility belt, beige rubber gloves, and light brown boots.

Entry- Genie Paige was an English-American woman from New Jersey. After arriving in Karasburg, she and her bodyguard, the disgraced athlete known as Subject, approached Lou Ripken asking for work. Genie explained that she was a whiz at chemistry. She called herself “Chemist”, meaning both an expert in chemistry and a British druggist. She could help with chemical weapons as well as make medicines. When Ripken asked her if she knew The Chemical Man, she replied that she didn’t, but would be glad to serve as a go-between. Ripken saw her potential and hired her and Subject. Chemist’s chemical weapons can be bothersome, but she is generally compassionate towards others and tries to avoid trouble. She will only attack in self-defense, and she never makes any lethal weapons. She will even assist opponents on occasion. The White Tigress has some respect for her and has let her know that if she makes too much trouble, she will have to arrest her.

Description of powers, abilities, and weapons- Chemist is an intelligent chemical genius and wears a belt containing various weapons and other items.

Weaknesses- Chemist is susceptible to the same weaknesses as an ordinary person (extreme temperatures, poison gas, etc.).

Subject

Secret identity- Van Rivera

Birthplace- California

Occupation- bodyguard/test subject

List of powers, abilities, and weapons- combat skill, strength, speed, weapons pouch, intelligence, endurance

Status- villain

First appearance- WT#49

Personality- Van is quiet, but has attitude and spirit. On one hand he can be cocky, irritable, and prone to mood swings. On the other he has a shy and reserved side that most people aren’t aware of. His drug use drove his personality to extremes, causing fits of rage at times and almost catatonic states at others. Chemist noted, “There are still times when he’s a hot-headed, arrogant jerk, but he’s like a lamb now that he’s off the drugs. It’s remarkable.” Van has some character flaws, but he also has a definite set of morals, defending the underdog, standing for the truth, and calling out liars. Despite the missteps in his past, Chemist described him as being strong and very intelligent with integrity. While he has been guilty of self-serving behavior, he has also acted altruistically, and he takes time for his fans. It is evident that he longs for the glory days of his playing career as he spends a significant amount of time watching videotapes of his old games (or occasionally DVD collections showing highlights of the championship teams he was on). It has been noted that when he watches his tapes and DVDs, or watches current baseball games on TV, he stares like a man in a trance as he reflects on his past and present. He has been known to nod off during monotonous tasks, but he’s generally a workhorse. He has an aversion to alcohol and is fond of sleeping in late. He generally doesn’t like to eat food, something Chemist has accommodated by making multivitamin pills for him. Van doesn’t like the nickname “Subject” and appreciates Lou Ripken and The White Tigress for not using it. Van was close to his late parents and feels some guilt over past choices he’s made. He seems to have difficulty with relationships. His closest relationship is with his daughter Vanessa, whom he views as a life-saver. He is also close to Chemist, and the two have a casual relationship. Chemist’s resoluteness and compassion cause him to heed her even when he’s reluctant to heed others. He is close friends with Foam, who has a similar personality.

Appearance- Subject is an attractive male Caucasian human of Italian heritage. His wavy, dark brown hair has three tufts and falls halfway down his neck. He is tall and has a healthy, athletic build as opposed to the past when he was unnaturally muscular. As a result of his elbow injury and subsequent Tommy John surgery, he has a long, curving scar around his right elbow pit. He wears a white short-sleeved shirt, green shorts, a reddish brown belt with attached weapons pouch, black fingerless gloves with silver studs over the first knuckles, white socks, and black sneakers. He also wears a gold cross necklace with the emblem worn under his shirt.

Entry- Van Rivera was a baseball player who resorted to using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Taking these drugs made him subject to health problems and fits of anger. When news of the scandal broke, he was subject to criticism. The disgraced, down-and-out ex-ballplayer was approached by Chemist, who felt sorry for him in his negative state. She wanted him as a bodyguard and offered to help him beat his steroid addiction and cure its negative effects. The catch was that he also has to be a test subject. Needing help and seeing that Chemist truly wanted to give it, Van accepted her offer, gaining the nickname “Subject”. It should be noted that Chemist, Lou Ripken, and The White Tigress do not use this nickname, instead calling him by his real name. Subject helps protect Chemist while allowing her and The Chemical Man to test various chemical mixtures on him. In return, Chemist treats him and helps him with his issues.

Description of powers, abilities, and weapons- Subject is intelligent and a good fighter with increased strength, endurance, and speed. He carries a pouch containing various weapons and other items. The silver studs over his knuckles give him a powerful punch.

Weaknesses- Subject’s repeated use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs has had a negative effect on both his physical and psychological health. However, he is now trying to quit. Chemist has noted that Subject “can’t aim worth a darn”. This is why he is given weapons such as knock-out gas grenades instead of a precision weapon (like a gun or crossbow).

That’s awesome! Hmm, Genie always seemed like a heroine to me, yet she’s classified as a villainess. I liked the White Tiger comment about having to arrest her if she causes too much trouble.

It has been noted several times here that Van hates the term Subject. Could this be because he wishes to once again be a renown and famous person, and resents the idea of being classified as a mere test subject? If I were him, that name would really cut me down.

So, who are Foam and Chemical Man? Are they heroes or villains in all of this?

If you don’t mind my asking; what inspired you to create Van and Genie? Are they based off real people, or are they an entirely original idea?

P.S. my racing game is going by swimmingly. When it is done, you'll be one of the first people to play it :D

Tyberzannisultra (talk) 23:33, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

I actually think of Genie as being more a heroine myself. I'm thinking of changing their status to "Neutral" or something else that better reflects their natures. I actually have a villain who's classified as both a Vigilante (because he stops muggers and such whenever possible) and a villain (because he teams up with a supervillain on occasion). One of my friends once noted I didn't have a lot of evil villains in my comics, and he's right. My villains range from creeps who would kill without a second thought to victims of circumstances. A lot of them are just misguided, which is why some of them end up becoming heroes. I have an issue in mind in which Genie helps a criminal trio, but the thing is, well, let's say they're low on the villainy ladder. They're called the Wacky Sub Gang and they fight a group of heroes called the Loser League, so that should tell you what you need to know. Genie helps them only because 1) it's a non-lethal chemical weapon (a laughing agent which dissipates quickly) and 2) she knows that the Loser League is likely to beat them, so there's nothing to worry about. White Tigress comes over to investigate afterward (she was dealing with a more serious threat earlier), and when Genie reveals who it was they both essentially laugh it off. Tigress's basic reaction is, "Oh, well, what was I worried about? Have a nice day!"

You hit it right on the head. Any time they call him "Subject", it's a reminder that he's not the same person he was before. It's like they're calling him a has-been or some other derogatory name. He wants to be viewed as an athlete and a person, not a tabloid headline.

Foam is actually one of Dart Tongue's top henchmen, so he's a villain who will reform and become a hero, just like his boss. He appears in my stories "The Houseguest", "The Binding Mask", and "Kumiho". His superpower is the ability to transform his body into liquid form. In addition to allowing him to stay underwater and enter locked buildings, this allows him to buffet opponents like a wave. He's so fast and powerful that he produces foam, hence his alias. I actually have an issue in mind in which he develops the same drug problem as Van. After losing honor, prestige, and respect, he goes to Genie for treatment. He's actually a fan of Van's, and while there he and Van become great friends. There's a scene I have planned in which Foam can't sleep. He walks through the house and when he passes by Van's room, he's in there watching his tapes. Foam comes in and they watch the game together. They watch in relative silence, but it's a bonding experience because they can tell they're going through the same thing. As for The Chemical Man, he's definitely a villain. He's a chemical genius like Genie, but he mainly sells his products to supervillains and criminals (as opposed to Genie who mainly focuses on medicines and other beneficial things). He becomes an adversary of a different heroine (a private eye) after he poisons one of her clients. He's not a murdering madman, but he's definitely a lot more dangerous with fewer morals. Lou Ripken is a racketeer who agreed to hire Van and Genie after seeing their potential. He's a criminal, but he has a definite set of morals and prides himself on being dependable. Since I wanted to convey dependability, I named him after baseball heroes Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripken, Jr, whom I have tremendous respect for. I thought, "I'm going to be in so much trouble if this is ever published!" but I didn't change it.

Genie isn't really based on anybody. One day I thought I'd like a character who uses non-lethal chemical weapons to get out of spots as quickly as possible. After I conceived Van I thought I'd like to have a chemical genius who could use her powers to help him and others. I also think Genie could represent the idea of helping others no matter what. As for Van, since you flat out asked if he were based on anyone, I won't hide it. He may be white, but he was inspired by Jose Canseco, whom I have mixed feelings about. It was after I saw a documentary called Jose Canseco: The Last Shot (a creepy yet fascinating film which actually did open with him watching a tape of one of his games with the Oakland A's, though I should note it didn't have the kind of experimental treatment found in my story). Some things in Van's Personality section are quotes I've heard or read about Canseco. For instance, David Cassidy said he was strong and intelligent with integrity after they were on a reality show together, one of his ex-girlfriends said he seemed to be in a trance when watching baseball games, and he himself said he didn't like to eat. Also, the part about not being able to aim worth a darn was based on his ill-fated pitching debut. That story will have to wait for another time... just like the story of the Wacky Sub Gang.

P.S- Yay! Raidra (talk) 14:48, December 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Here's an addition to Genie's Personality section. "Though she makes and uses medicines for treating others, she believes it is important for people to be as drug-free as possible, and thus she also employs treatment methods such as counseling, massage, exercise, breathing techniques, and nature walks." Raidra (talk) 01:43, December 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Heheh, the Loser League. Is thistheir theme song?


 * Speaking of theme songs, I’m having trouble deciding which one of these tunes should be my own. It was usually always thisintimidating, awe-inspiring, hum-able tune. But lately I’ve been considering switching it to thisglorious, empowering jingle.

Chemical Man sounds pretty cool. He’s the Venom to Genie’s Spiderman. By simply merging two existing names Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripken Jr., you should run into no trouble with publishing. They’re just people’s names, no one owns them. I’ll tell you who is going to get into copyright trouble, and it’s this guy. You just wait, when my racing game comes out, I’m gonna be dodging the Dodge people. You see, in the game, you TOTALLY don’t drive a Challenger 1971 R/T with Hemi engine xD Want to listen to the in-game radio? I promise you that’s not really the Rolling Stones on there!

So Genie represents unconditional heroism, and Van is based around the fallen hero type. Very interesting.

I’m looking forward to the story of the Wacky Sub Gang xD

Tyberzannisultra (talk) 00:24, December 27, 2014 (UTC)

Can't you just imagine? "And now, give a warm welcome to our heroes, the one and only LOSER LEAGUE!" ~"Loser" by Beck starts playing as the team takes the stage~ You know which theme song is best for you, but based on the description of your game, why not go with the one that's most recognizable and heavily copyrighted? ;-)

Yeah, Genie and Van complement each other well, don't they? I have a scene planned in which The Chemical Man tests a truth drug on Van. He doesn't harm Van, but Genie feels he wasn't as kind and respectful as he should have been. As he leaves Genie gives him a look, and as confident as he is The Chemical Man is unsettled because that's the first time he's seen Genie look resentful.

I've finished a couple of drafts. Would you like me to post them here, or on my user page? In any case, I hope to post a Wacky Sub Gang description tonight. Raidra (talk) 14:16, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, here's what I have so far for The Chemical Man's entry.

The Chemical Man

Secret identity- Arnold Wolfe

Birthplace- Pennsylvania

Occupation- chemical supplier

List of powers, abilities, and weapons- chemical genius, utility belt

Status- member of the Rixile Board

First appearance- WT#42

Appearance- The Chemical Man is a male Caucasian human with blond hair with three tufts. He occasionally has trembling fits. He wears a beige shirt, blue gray pants, a gray utility belt, reddish-brown gloves, and silver boots. Sometimes he wears a pair of clear rubber gloves instead of his customary ones.

Entry- Arnold Wolfe was a chemical genius who realized the money to be made in selling chemicals and chemical mixtures to criminals. Calling himself “The Chemical Man”, he formed a business called “Rixile”, which is “Elixir” spelled backwards. Rixile sells chemicals to legitimate buyers, but much of its business is criminal. It also has several major criminals, including Sloan Monev and Klartnova, as stockholders and members of its board. The Chemical Man supplied Lou Ripken with a dart containing a drug which induced a powerful fear of failure. Ripken used this dart to infect The Daring Dhole, who had to work hard to overcome the drug’s effects. Ripken spread the word about the Chemical Man’s services, and the two remain good friends. The Chemical Man first got Kayla Dimera’s attention when he poisoned Cool Jam. As Kayla’s investigations led her closer to the Chemical Man, he knew that a confrontation was unavoidable. After attacking a couple of her allies as a warning, he challenged her. Kayla was understandably nervous, but she refused to back down. The two had a lengthy battle which ended in the Chemical Man surrendering. However, he refused to divulge the names of his criminal clients and associates. Rixile continues to operate, though members of Shophetim combat his criminal operations. The Chemical Man sometimes suffers fits of trembling, something which troubles him.

Description of powers, abilities, and weapons- The Chemical Man is a chemical genius and is armed with a belt containing various weapons and other items.

Weaknesses- The Chemical Man sometimes suffers bouts of trembling, which may be a result of chemical exposure and/or psychological problems. This understandably causes him anxiety, but this does little to stop him.

Here's what I have so far for the Wacky Sub Gang's entry.

The Wacky Sub Gang

Secret identities- The members are named Nate, Carlos, and Gerald.

Birthplaces- Florida

Occupations- criminals

List of powers, abilities, and weapons- intelligence, mechanical ability, combat skill, weapons pouch

Status- members of LEAK (Loser Elimination Action Kingpins)

First appearance- LL#8

Appearance- Nate is a male Caucasian human with blond hair with three tufts. Carlos is a male Hispanic human. He has a light skin tone and red hair with three short tufts. Gerald is a Caucasian human of Italian heritage. He has black hair with two long, thin tufts. All three members of The Wacky Sub Gang wear grayish-blue costumes with gold collars, cuffs, belts with attached weapons pouches, gloves, and boots. Nate’s belt buckle is a white diamond while Carlos and Gerald have red orange circles for their belt buckles. Nate’s mask is pink and bears some resemblance to a squid. Carlos’s mask is blue and resembles the head of a Japanese movie monster. Gerald’s mask resembles a black motorcycle helmet with the image of a lime slice on both sides.

Entry- Nate, Carlos, and Gerald were three friends who were smart as well as good mechanics. They shared an affinity for both strangeness and lucre. Because of this, they decided to form a strange criminal gang. After making themselves costumes with unusual masks, they built a submarine which could travel on land and underwater. This sub had bizarre decorations, such as a shrimp-like tail and rubber chicken feet dangling from the bottom. Because of this, the trio, led by Nate, called themselves “The Wacky Sub Gang”. They began a crime spree, but were stopped by the Loser League. The Bouncy Brawler took the most delight in stopping the gang, earning their enmity. When the Wacky Sub Gang next appeared, they had created a gas which produced uncontrollable fits of laughter. After incapacitating S.N. Fever with this laughing agent, they mocked both him and The Bouncy Brawler. Outmatched, the angry Brawler swore revenge and took S.N. Fever back to the Lair of Losers. After he recovered, they, along with Umbriago, began to plan. The Wacky Sub Gang continued their crime spree, but they wound up again tasting defeat. Soon afterwards, they were broken out so they could join LEAK. The Wacky Sub Gang continues to plot their unusual robberies both alone and with LEAK, but The Bouncy Brawler and the other Loser Leaguers are always there to throw a monkey wrench into their plans.

Description of powers, abilities, and weapons- All three members of The Wacky Sub Gang are smart with the ability to build and repair machinery. They also know how to fight and are armed with pouches containing various weapons and other items.

Weaknesses- The Wacky Sub Gang is susceptible to the same weaknesses as an ordinary person (extreme temperatures, poison gas, etc.). Their masks protect against poison gas, so they can only be gassed if they’re not wearing their masks.

The laughing agent mentioned is the one Genie assisted them with, and yes, they tested it on Van. I was designing the characters and thought it would be wacky to give one a mask resembling a squid. Then I came up with the monster mask. I was in a restaurant at the time, and for the third one I looked around for inspiration. I saw a picture of a lime slice and thought, "That'll do!" Raidra (talk) 01:16, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I can picture it. I can relate to it because Loser is the song that plays whenever I enter a room. I’m kidding, Zann Consortium theme will always be my theme. For my game I was actually planning on including real music, but I think I’ll scrap that idea. Also, I have to go out and record my own sounds. You wouldn’t happen to own a 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T with Hemi Engine, would you? If you do, think we can take it for a spin. I promise I’ll only set up like sixteen Go-Pros and Audio-Recorders inside the engine to get the sound effects!

You know, the entire time I was reading about the Sub Gang, I heard the Beatles “Yellow Submarine” in my mind. Is…is that their theme song?

 The story of the Sub Gang dosing SN Fever with the laughing agent made me LOL. Imagine the poor Brawler having to drag his hysterical companion away from the mockery of the Sub Gang. It would be like taking a drunk friend home after a bar fight.

I’m really digging Chemical Man. He has such depth. I like the fact that you mentioned the tremors may have been caused by chemical exposure. Do you want to know the original meaning behind the term Mad Hatter? A long time ago, the Hat-makers would use Mercury to glue the brims of hats to the actual hat. This constant exposure to Mercury made some of the workers lose their minds a little. I was reminded of this while reading about Chemical Man.

One quick question on something that wasn’t quite clear. Was LEAK designed specifically for hunting Loser Leaguers?

RE: More like Rosetta Clone'd
It's clearly a copy/paste of JtK. The author can't even stick to one language. They shift from Greek, to demotic, to hieroglyphics. (It looks sloppy.) I'l get around to taking it down as soon as the Holidays (and security) winds down some.


 * Yes... a joke... Clearly the Rosetta Stone isn't in any danger of me spray-painting "marked for review" onto it due to its sudden language changes and boring plot. Seriously, look at that wall of text and read that 'story'! Time for me to go all iconoclast on it. Btw, Skel actually has a pretty good sense of humor, it's pretty dry (bone dry), but entertaining. Just a matter of knowing someone.


 * Clearly as the wonderfully kind messages on my talk page imply, I have a sound mind. As for poking LOLSKELETONS while he slumbers... I might advise not doing that.


 * You could say he enjoys a good ribbing. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 22:57, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
