Ideas to throw around

[devi]

I think that they have issues to work out. It may take the form of an argument or perhaps combat or some kind of challange ar any combonation of the three.
I mean Mannick in a charades contest, that's awesome.
Charades contest to the death; that's awsome with free slim jim's and cola.

[Rehiro]

Allright so Mannick is pulled through the portal girls belly portal, who's name we soon learn is Pannick (get it? Pannick sounds like Mannick and thats how you spell panic in that dimension, or maybe her names just panic or maybe its something else I dunno) they soon get into a competition of some kind and by the end they realize that they love each other.

Okay here comes the part that may not work in the actual CTV plot because Amelius has probably already worked out Kavonns hats origin.

Pannick comes from a wonderful world of hats. Everyone dreams of becoming a great hat maker, but there is one hat which these people hold sacred over everything, a tophat with immense magical powers (Kavonns hat). (Pannick explaining) Nobody like Pannick 'cause she gots a li'l pocket in her belly. One day belly man tell her take magic hathat and give to him, Pannick do and hathat go away, soon everyone in village even madder at Pannick than usal and they say Pannick go away and never come back, so she goes. Ever since then Pannick be pulling things from her belly pocket so that one day she find hathat and give to village so she can go home, never before pulled a boy out of her though.

Mannick realizes what she is looking for and decides to head back through Pannicks portal so that he can fetch it and she can be happy again. But when he comes out he finds that he isnt in his world but... THE JACKALOPE DIMENSION!!!

To explain: the "belly man" Pannick refers to is the same creature that owns that arm that gives Mannick hats. Our world and the Jackalope dimension are default dimensions, when Mannick gets his hats from Pannicks world it is because he is concentrating on a specific hat, when he went through her belly portal he wasnt thinking of a specific place so he was just put... wherever. The "belly man" wanted the hat because it knew the hat people would abuse its awesome powers, so it manipulated Pannick into giving the hat to it so that it could find someone suitable of owning it.

Im out of ideas for the moment except for one relating to Mannick that can only happen later.

Wow!

[Just read the entire archive l]

Wonderful plot and storyline, I must congratulate you! This comic oozes dark comedy, a violent little romp into the absurd! All I can say is, I'd like to see more character development in Xavier, he seems like an interesting character, and as he's Mye's brother, and there have been many hints as to a close relationship to the two, this should be easy to work in. I love the character designs, your characters all have very unique personalities and looks, your artistic style really fits this genre. It's one of the reasons I'd like to see more of Xavier (his hair style is awesome, and I'd really like to know where that pendant came from). Anywho, brilliant little comic you've got going, Please, until your dying day, don't stop, Even post mortem, god willing! Lots of good wishes!

[Amelius]

Hmm..I do have a comic that demonstrates a little bit how the portals work, but we gotta get Kavonn home first for that one. ^_^

Hahaaa, jackalope enhanced fart....oh my, the visual that gives me...hilarious!

ooo...nice! ;D I like the idea of Pannick there ^_^
sounds very cute, and we do need more females in the comic...
everybody, thanks for the wonderful ideas! Though I can't really guarantee I'll use everything, (please don't be offended!) I really do love these ideas and feel like I'd be stealing them if I used everything exactly.
But you have inspired me like you wouldn't believe, and I am quite sure I know where a lot of this will fit in ^_^
and if I do use it, I will be sure to give credit where credit is due. I'm truly grateful that you are willing to share your ideas with me! (I'm quite entertained by this all!)

Thanks for reading the entire archive, it's a daunting task indeed to wade through all of those, but I always appreciate the effort ^_^
And thanks, I'll be sure to do more with Hex, he actually has quite a few standalone ones, and I did indeed intend to develop more on him and his sister's past.

And yes, if it's possible, if I die I'll try to posess someone and continue to draw through their body! mwahahahaaa!

[Rehiro]

Cool you liked Pannick ;D yeah I got another idea for the Mannick story line but a lot more is going on in this story and we need it to calm down a bit before I can use my idea.... meh ill just post it now and try and work it in later. Dont worry about not using all of my ideas I would be honored to think that a writer of your caliber would like anything I had written enough to use it. And dont worry about stealing my ideas ive got a lot of other ideas im not telling you 'cause I wanna keep it to myself, to use when the time is right for my own personal gain

[devi]

I think I know what you're talking about. Like ideas that you think are great but that you want to keep for yourself for now. Fair enough.

It would be great to get some Hex development but in order to do that we either need some kind of dual narritive as Hex goes offf on his own on some quest or trip or something, or we need for Hex to interact with other characters more and hang out in a mysterious lab by himself less.
YOu cna't really examine a character on it's own. In order to know someone you need to see how they interact with their world. And if you can't see interaction, you don't know squat. We don't know a lot about Hex right now because at most his relationships with others seem to be half hearted if not outright dismissive, also we haven't observed him on his own except insofar as his destruction of his enemies is involved.
So I propose that for our next tangent to fly off onto, we try to figure out what kind of crucible to throw Hex into so that we can see his inner workings. So let's work on some stressful situations!

[devi]

also I'm curios as to who the belly hole man is, then. Samerick perhaps? It's probibly best left unsaid for now anyway.

After Mannick falls into the jackalope dimension he meets up with a herd of jackalopes, he immediately grabs himself an "antler bunny" hat and becomes a part of the herd. He stays with the jackalopes a while, acting as one himsef (During this time all the other story lines are happening). Eventually the portal parasite shows up and attacks the jackalopes, Mannick becomes enraged and stands up to the portal creature in an attempt to save his friends but the creature eats him.

He drops out of Kavonns hat sobbing for his lost friends but as soon as he sees the hat he exclaims "Pannicks magic hathat" and then "go back to Pannick" as he stuffs the hat into his stomach. Kavonn is in too much shock to do anything but watch as his hat disapears.

A few comics later Kavonn is pacing back and forth in front of the couch while Mannick lyes there with a bored expression on his face. Kavonn is taking turns complaining about his hairs increasing amount of imobility and accusing Mannick of taking his hat, Mannick replies "so get in Mannicks belly" Kavonn tells him how stupid he is and how unlikely he will ever get his hat back even if he went through his portal, Mannick says okay... and in the next panel we see Mannick lying on the couch yawning with a bored expression on his face while Kavonn has his shirt pulled up, with one leg inside his belly portal and a terrified expression on his face, saying "I cant believe im doing this".

It could be that Kavonn gets eaten by the portal parasite and he falls out of his own hat but if he had his staff with him it might be that the blue dragon thing would get thoroughly beaten.

[Rehiro]

There should be one with Foomy and Phineas when they are wandering around starving in the jackalope dimension, and they start looking at each other and thinking that they look like food. Like Phineas would look at Foomy and see a fish stick and Phineas would look at Foomy and see a hot dog. Listen to this:

(Foomy) Hey Phin y'know what would taste really great right about now?
(Phineas) What?
(Foomy) Fiiiiiiiiisshh stiiiiiiiiiiick

Then they would spend the rest of the comic trying to eat each other untill they stumbled upon the jackalope herd. Phineas would tell Foomy that he knew what they were eating and when Foomy asks what, there is a close up on phineas' face with him rubbing his hands together with one of those huge evil grins you do so well and saying "rabbit".

To Amelius, feel free to take any little thing you like, I wont be offended if you dont do the whole thing

Now I am officially out of ideas, that might have seemed annoying what with all of my talking but most of it was using devis and deltat's ideas, sticking them together and then adding a few of my own. I leave the floor to someone else now, but do not fear for I shall return and always know that I am watching you (on the forum in this thread, not in real life).

[deltaT]

It's a good thing you added that last sentance, rehiro, or you might have sounded a little menacing. I really like your dialogue and imagery! I can really picture it in my head.

As far as my (less numerous than devi and rehiros) ideas are concerned, I would be happy for anyone to use them...I have no use for them myself other than to entertain myself here on the forum. ;D

I hadn't realized till devi pointed it out that we haven't seen Hex in action much, so it would be great to see those comics Amy refers to!

I remember reading the archives...I wouldn't call it work, it was more like suffering from a sudden severe addiction. I coundn't STOP reading them!

[Rehiro]

Hey guys im back

Stressfull situations for Hexavier regarding conflict with other characters eh?...... well he created Remote Beast with Zeno and that was probably a fairly large prodject. Zeno probably isnt very experienced in science or black magic so it wasnt for that that Hex let him help, and the reason that Remote Beast was created was because of a subject that they both shared a comon interest in. Zeno is dating his sister who he obviously has had a close relationship with ever since he was a mortal child. Hex probably is still upset with Zeno for killing his sister, so the most obvious thing would be to jerk him around with those two a bit but thats not exactly genius on my part.

Hex keeps himself fairly isolated from the rest of the people of the cabin but we have seen him hanging out with Tony on more than one occasion. If he dosent trust Zeno, or if he suspects that he is changing he might have mixed emotions if he discovered that Tony was trying to get them to break up.

Amelius has said that Hex did some pretty drastic stuff to bring Mye back to life, this might be better left alone since it seems that Amelius knows where shes going with this, but on the other hand oppinions never hurt and we might come up with something good so thats something else we could think about.

Other than that I dont have any other ideas at the moment. I like Hex a lot so I look forward to to this.

Oh yeah, thanks for the compliment deltaT.

[deltaT]

You're welcome! ;D

[Shippo_no_Neko]

i have an idea for a character, if you want! she could be a fox-demon girl with a huge problem. whenever she touches a humanoid person, she gets all attack-ish and "kill everything that moves"-ish. then, she might could turn back whenever she touches a dog-like/fox-like creature. it might be fun to see someone have to drag menu into the room whenever someone bumps into her. she could've escaped from a mental institution where everyone is human! here name could maybe be "Kcatta" (KAHT-ah), and when she's psycho "Attack." she really has no place in my comic, so if you would like to use her, i would be honored!

[Rehiro]

Fox demon eh Shippo?

[Shippo_no_Neko]

feh! >.< i like fox demons! and this isnt the shippo type of demon, it's one with ears, and a real fox tail, and other stuff like that yeah, yeah, im too obbsessed!

[devi]

I dunno maybe we could use this. We need something to show Hex and let people know about who he is when everything else is taken away.
Perhaps this Katja could be used, if breifly to exaacerbate Hex and show us an angry Hex, an angry Hex who knows that the one who has angered him is innocent. What will he do? Or perhaps this fox could live with a particularly hellish paradigm. The reson she can't handle physical contact is because of extensive torture and sexual abuse (the kind of sexual abuse that involves knives and fishhooks). So now she sees everything and everything in this world as a potential enemy and sees all those who touch her (or come close) as attackers. Her mind would suppress any real memory of her torture, an MPD may kick in to protect her from the world, she might be a pathological liar and would doubtlessly suffer from phantom pains and injuries that help to convince her that all around her are secretly attacking her/ planning to attack her.
So, if we expose this Katja to different things as Hex observes, we'll see how he responds to a damaged mind in clear need of help and we'll see what he moves to protect and what he doesn't. We'll also see if he tries to protect using offensive tactics against Katja or defensive tactics to stop her.
Since we already know that the amulet only works offensively and for things Hex himself wants, we know tht he probibly won't be able to just generate a field around Katja's victem simply to protect them. But he could rip one of her arms off or something, to discourage attack without killing her.

Perhaps she could become fixated on Hex, and then we see Hex as he decides to protect the one who cares for him or the one who he has chosen to show mercy on in the past. I.e. Katja v. Fay or Katja v. Xeno.

What do you guys think?

[Shippo_no_Neko]

i like it a lot, that is so much better than my idea ^.^

[deltaT]

It's fun when we put ideas together! ;D

That being said, I'll think about it and see if I can contribute.

[Rehiro]

Huh, no one has posted here for a couple of days. Very well then I dont think it will be an intrusion to post an idea of my own.

This one isnt very probable but here goes:
Vic has just told Charby that they can not be friends anymore. Charby is enraged and he bites Vic. Vic turns into an Elite and exclaims "I cannot live like this" and sticks a stake in his heart. He then is astonished as he relizes that he is hardly hurt, Charby then says "Vic there is something i've been meaning to tell you" (because he never told Vic that he is invincible)

If I am interupting then please ignore this. I dont know where Vic got the stake, he is supposed to be unarmed, maybe he uses one of Charbys hooks and decapitates himself. Charby still has a bit of that vampire compulsiveness which caused him to bite Vic. He seems to have gained a lot of self restraint but such a betrayal might awaken his long held back anger, I mean think of the sacrifices he made for the guy and this is how he repays him?

[Rehiro]

Well that idea isnt going to work anymore, oh well it wasnt that great of an idea anyway. It could still happen later, with Charby spying on Vic while Vic is hunting in the forest or something, but.... I dunno. Anyone can use that idea if they want it.

[Amelius]

aww, it was a nice idea! I just have something planned for now...I could use a bit of that later on though, so don't feel bad about that!

[Shippo_no_Neko]

whaddya think about the fox demon/Hexavier idea? i think it would be a good way to develope Hex's personality, and get a new femme!

[BladeSingerXIV]

You people just like the idea of getting Hex mad when he knows that he can't just blow the person up.
That's not a bad idea. ;D

[Shippo_no_Neko]

exactly, kinda like his pendant glowed, but he didnt kill fay in todays comic!

[Amelius]

oo, a femme fox demon does sound interesting...
*considers heavily*

[Rehiro]

I wonder what would happen to Vics eye if he turned Elite? would it become healed after being turned or would it just stay white or what?

Purely in a theoretical sense of course let us look at how it would change Vics life if he turned Elite.

Vic is an Elite but is still working at the demon hunter HQ he has cut off his wings and is forcing them not to grow back causing him to ocasionally grimice in pain. He trys to conceal his fangs as he talks making him mumble. People are beginning to notice that he is not himself.

George: Vic uh.... why is your eye red?
Vic: Oh I got a new contact
George: I never knew you wore contacts
Vic: Contact, ive been wearing them for awhile because I dont like wearing glasses when I have a dead eye and a monicle looks stupid.
George: oh.... um.... are you feeling allright Vic you dont look or sound to good maybe you should take the night off.
Vic: no im feeling okay I just have a bit of a headache
Blain: Hey Victor did I just hear you saying that you wear a contact? it says here that you have 20/20 vision
Vic: you know what George? I am feeling a bit under the weather, maybe ill just head home
Blain: wait Vic we have to talk
Vic: I cant hear you sir my ears are stuffed up

[deltaT]

Chibi: If there was a fox demon that changed when they touched a humanoid and changed back when they touched a canine type, then maybe they should have a relationship with Tony, since he has a doggy-form. And Tony is sooo loney! He needs a non-Mye girl.

Rehiro: You do good dialogue. I can really picture that! But I can't decide if Vics eye would grow back, or if he could only regen to the state he was when he was turned.

[Rehiro]

Thanks deltaT, but I cant help feeling that this plot is waaaaay off from reality. Vic getting turned is a huge deal but im going on one of my rants in my head where the story just keeps growing and I cant stop it! I always picture my ideas in comic form and that is why I always have dialogue.

Vic isnt one to give up his responsibilities simply because he has changed into the thing that his profession specializes in killing. He will keep demon slaying and supporting his grandmother for as long as he can.

If anyone has any ideas they want to share then feel free to add, I like it when we put our ideas together and I have no idea where this is going in case anyone thought they were intruding. But feel free not to, its a pretty far fetched concept and ill just ramble to myself.

[Rehiro]

Charby is going kind of crazy. Suddenly this dosent seem quite so far fetched.

Charby dosent seem like the kind of person to turn Vic because of his own greedy reasons, even if he is extremely upset, I dont think that he could plan it out ahead of time and follow through with it but if it was a sudden flash of anger or if he had just turned into the Evil Oswego Charby I could see it happening, especially in his current state.
