Michael isn't much of an artist but he can't stop himself from creating new characters and stories for them, even if they're just for himself.
#5 Huntsman
Huntsman was a homeless man who was rounded up and forced into an experiment of augmenting human DNA with that of various animals and insects. His DNA bonded with that of a Huntsman Spider and was one of the more successful bondings of hte experiment. When he escaped he put his skills to use to take down those responsible as part of a super group that cannot decide on a team name (He calls them The Hunting Party), he is a fringe member of the team at best but he still does his part in saving the world.
#4 Seraph
Seraph has the ability to force calcium deposits out of his skin forming into whatever he desires, and what he usually desires is weaponry. His blood is a paralyzing toxin that he coats his bones with in order to get a leg up on his enemies. He does not know why he can grow boney wings out of his back but has become adept at using them. He is part of a super group that can not agree on their team name (he doesn’t care to call them anything in particular other than friends). He is a strong soldier in that group and would gladly die for any of it’s members.
#3 Spitfire
A punch from Spitfire is very literally an explosion. Her skin is tough as steel and her tactics are unmatched in the field. She is part of a team of heroes that can’t decide on a team name (She calls them Forceworks and is unaware that is taken), and is one of the core members of the team and field leader.
#2 Zephyr
Zephyr is an infiltrator, a super spy who has both a solid an gaseous form. She is on a team of heroes who cannot agree on a team name (she calls them Spyforce 7), and she acts as a leader of their black ops division, taking out threats as she sees fit once discussed with the rest of the team.
#1 Ms. Fancy Bones
Ms. Fancy Bones is a DJ by night and sometimes a hero by that same night. She has bones of diamond and her organs are platinum, liquid gold runs through her veins, her skin is just skin…which sometimes poses a problem. She is a member of a team of heroes who can’t agree on their team name (She calls them The Scream Queens), though she isn’t at the level of most of them. She specializes in sets based of her favorite Halloween movies.
2012 Challenge: M_Dissolvo
Hi everyone,
I tried this challenge last year and did NOT complete it, however I am determined to make it work this year. Â This is an important goal to me so I’m excited to get going, and I can’t wait to see what everyone else is going to be creating. Â I don’t really have much to add for now, but in a few days it’ll be time to start uploading and I’ll let my work speak for itself.
#2 – Nike
In case you aren’t familiar with Persona, my 2nd entry here is connected with my first. Nike is Ulrike Sommerheim‘s persona! Maybe also her sponsor in the Juniors…who knows! I keep laughing about this.
Based on the Greek goddess of victory, Nike (who has really long hair for some reason) is of the Star Arcana like Ulrike and is strong against Physical and Fire attacks but week against Darkness. She has various Agi skills, physical enhancing buffs and attacks, and will eventually get God’s Hand because that is the best. She’s well balanced as far as physical and magical powers but doesn’t excel in one or the other. I would use her mostly for buffs…and God’s Hand…because that is the best.
I’ve depicted Nike in a very traditional way with her torch outstretched in her hands, but instead of the other hand holding her laurel I used it as the neckline to her dress. And again, for some reason, gave her really long hair. I did not feel like adding texture to her wings right now but I may go back and fix up some of these characters when I have more time.
Now I have to think about Day 3…which technically has already started.
#1 – Ulrike Sommerheim
Hi everyone,
I’ll use this as my introductory post. I know I’m a day behind but I won’t be in a moment! I decided to participate in this challenge just because it sounded like a lot of fun and I really am enjoying not only the creative part of it, but also keeping up with everyone’s posts so far.  Anyway, I don’t really consider myself an artist but I don’t think I’m horrible either. I’m a writer by trade and can always use some good characters so hopefully after this I’ll have close to 30 usable ones.
I was a little stumped on what to do to start this off. I really wanted to go into it ‘pure’ and not create a character I’ve already thought about or something and it was getting hard to figure out where to start. So as a warm up I decided to create a character for the Persona series of games…which I’m totally obsessed with…I think she would fit right in on Inaba, in case anyone sees this and wants to totally redo “The Golden” before it comes out.
Ulrike is a German transfer student (not a foreign exchange student as her family has moved here). She is on the tennis team and uses the tools of her trade as ranged weapons against the shadows inside the TV. I couldn’t stop laughing when I thought about her serving the tarot card to summon her persona so that’s what I decided to go with for her image here. I like to think that she’d be of the Star Arcana and when you spend time social linking with her you learn that she’s struggling with whether she wants to devote more of herself to tennis and become a professional or play less competitively and more for fun. I like to think she and Rise would get along really well, but she won’t be as mean to Kanji as Rise is. When she gets a crit with her Racket and ball she volleys the ball back at the shadows a few times until it comes back to her and goes out so she gets the point.
