Dreams of being a "creative" for hire...but wastes life in retail hell...
Robert McKeone – 30 Characters in 30 Days 2013 – Mischief Managed!
Though the server time for this challenge is set for “Eastern United States”… I live on the West Coast, so, it was still November 30th when I posted my last (and this) entry, thus successfully completing this years 30 Characters Challenge. Woohoo! But if it weren’t for deadlines, nothing would ever get done… am I right?
This year, I tried to push the “quality” as much as the default quantity. I wanted each character to match an overall style, and I’d like to think I was quite successful in that, even though I wasn’t entirely sure what that style was gonna be when I started. There were a lot more animals and creatures this year than I thought there would be. Was kinda interesting seeing that unfold. I would also occasionally look back at my entries from 2011, and I must say, I see some growth… which is awesome!
It was a blast seeing some contestants from previous years continuing in the challenge, as well as seeing some new blood, my hats off to all who attempted it. I’ve got a couple ideas for next years challenge if I participate… but I’ll have to wait til next year to see if I follow through with any of them, or something completely different.
Until then… cheers!
#29 – Black Friday
What started off as a simple day to get a bunch of Christmas shopping done and save some money in the process, soon began to grow and grow… Little did financial-minded retailers knew they were giving birth to an entity that would soon consume the nation and even the world. Black Friday has grown out of control… it now overshadows the holiday of Thanksgiving and turns even the sanest of people into monsters who will do anything (even kill innocent people) in their quest to snag a bargain. Can anything stop Black Friday… or is it too late for that?
#28 – Cletus
The real reason why Santa didn’t want to go out in the storm in the story of Rudolph wasn’t entirely because of the storm… it was because the last time the snow was storming that hard… Santa accidentally took Donner’s cousin, Cletus, out into the Christmas Eve night sky… And let’s just say Cletus is a little bit more than… “special”. Things happened that night…
#26 – Thea
Thea works as a waitress at greasy-spoon diner down the Interstate that caters primarily to truckers. Try the meat scramble!
#25 – Ninja Camel
Have you ever seen a ninja camel before? No? Well, you’re not supposed to. In fact, now that you’ve seen this one… you’re likely gonna die. Careful, they spit.
#24 – Olaf
After a long day of pillaging and plundering the royal kingdoms… what’s a good swamp goblin to do? Kick back some ale, that’s what…
#23 – Aylxa
There comes a special time in every young Chalkri’s life… when her plarphanids finally begin to develop, ushering in the next stage of her life…
#21 – Louie Leprechaun
You ever think what a crappy gig it is to be a leprechaun? I mean… you sit at the end of a rainbow… guarding a pot of gold. Why? For what purpose? You’re not gonna give it to somebody if they come along… so you just sit there… waiting… for… death? That’s a crappy deal… just ask Louie Leprechaun how crappy that is… He’ll let you know.
#20 – Big Cheeze
Big Cheeze is the biggest, baddest, bulliest, of the rats. Don’t touch his cheese.
#19 – The Littlest Viking
When he was but a boy of 4 or 5, young Ã…smund stopped growing. Just could not grow another inch. His viking brothers went on to be big and strong… but Ã…smund was stuck at his height forever. But that only made him work harder to prove himself as one of the greatest vikings to ever live. Never call him a dwarf, though. Seriously… Never… call… him… a… dwarf!
#17 – Tim
Tim was born in the magical era between the release of “Star Wars: A New Hope” but before Zack Morris introduced the world to “The Brick” cell phone. He, like many of his age group, were raised to believe that they could be anything they wanted. However, he was never able to achieve that. Not for lack of wanting it. He just always played it safe, never really tried, never took any “risk”. He always went with the flow and never had much of an opinion on anything. His life isn’t bad, far from it. He has a beautiful wife with a child on the way, a decent job, and his health is alright… there’s just a part of him that has always wanted a little more out of his meek existence… and he’s getting old enough to realize that those windows may be closing…
#16 – Willy Appleworm
Willy Appleworm LOVES to eat apples… Yeah, I think apples would have to be his favorite all-time food. He could eat apples for every meal. Or just constantly, without stopping
#15 – The Judge
The Judge is ready to rule…Â All rulings are final…Â Judgement will not be adjourned…
#14 – ST-4PH
In the Phaelanyx galaxy… it was discovered that the brain is the most important part of the body… and that bodies are in fact a distraction. At birth, a small scientifically selected group is set aside to produce future generations of the species. After they’ve served for reproduction reasons (or are deemed not to be breeders) the head is removed from the body and plugged into the codex… where the brain is programmed, and cultivated. But every now and then, an anomaly arises… This anomaly is named ST-4PH.
#13 – Bandit
Why would the resurrected spirit of a wild west bank robber… with a skull for a head… need a mask?
#12 – Karlynn, the Retired Wizard
Every wizard reaches an age… when they say… screw it. I’m retiring. Time for the apprentice to earn their keep…
#10 – Fraelyn
The Fraelyn are a species of bat like creatures… they lack feet or finger-like digits like bats… so they make use of the elongated tongue to grab things or to hang from perches whilst not using their wings…
#08 – Abbrah
Clive Smith was a magician. One day, he realized that rabbits weren’t the only thing he could make disappear…
#07 – Shroomz
In an enchanted forest lurk a species of evil mushrooms. They are not really anything more than a bunch of ankle-biters.
#06 – Edami
Lurking in the depths of the oceans just outside the range of the arctic, live an underwater race of humanoid-fish people (some say “Mermaids” and “Mermen”). As the human race continues to destroy the world and push itself into every inch of the planet, spreading like a virus, it was only a matter of time before this long ignored species would cross paths humanity. Edami may be the first found… but there are millions more.
#05 – Drew Fuss
Drew Fuss is your typical everyday kid…Â he enjoys pizza and playing video games, and hanging out with friends.
#04 – Danny, The Cross-Eyed Dog
Danny is a cross eyed dog… but that’s okay. He sees double of everything… and that’s awesome!
#03 – Lord Resbow
When the supposed “King” failed to rid the Kingdom of the travelers from another world and properly take care of the Princess… it was time for Lord Resbow to step up and show them how it’s done.
My “homage” to the villains of side-scroll games of old. They just don’t make them like they use to. :/
#02 – “Tiny”
Tyrell “Tiny” Jones was a bouncer a Vegas, a boxer, and a MMA fighter. His life was relatively golden… until some assassins from Thailand kidnapped his fiance, Feilynn. Now Tiny is on a mission. He won’t stop for nothing.
#01 – Daddy’s Girl
Daddy had to go away for a while.
Daddy use to have fun on weekends.
Daddy wasn’t understood.
Daddy’s Girl will take care of things, while daddy is away…
