[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Vhy yes, I alvheys haff vials. Vhy do you ask?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I forgot to mention to ignore the weapons....they were just for fun to draw.

As for the oversized coat issue, its rather difficult to make the coat appear large without dwarfing out the character. But I'll try again.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I think it could work if the sleeves around the wrists where all poofed out, as she had to roll them up a whole lot. Extend the tail and the collar, and have at least the top two buttons buttoned in order to keep it on.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Thats basically what I'm attempting as we speak.  

Any other insights on character design, even for the undrawn ones?

[Philote]

I think those five make for a well rounded team, and you seem to be doing well with the character drawings so I don't have any input on that.

I think we need to work on their power specifics so we know where each is starting at.

[Zaleramancer]

I like the stitches on her head. Though she does look a bit surprised.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Good idea

These seem to be the five most liked character ideas. Let add to them r change them as necessary to finalize them.

As long as the user is able to see the atmosphere/sky, the user is able to "grab" tools/weapons from it as long as they are not larger than their perception of the atmosphere/sky. These tools/weapons appear to be made out of a glass like substance that always reflects the weather of an atmosphere, even if it is not the same weather currently present. From these tools you then have weather-like powers depending on what you make them reflect.

Description: Female. Petite, Oversized Coat, Speaks vit zis Aksent. Personality: Unfazeable, Curious, Stoic, Serious, Bookish. Rather Literal. Ability/Skill: Highly Sane Mad Scientist.

Description: White male. Tall, somewhat athletic build. Blue eyed, with hair of varying color and style. Just turned eighteen. Personality: Very intelligent, and bold, but sort of kooky, with a slight aversion to social interaction. Strong sense of justice, with a relentless serpentine tendency to strike when he feels threatened or offended. Just getting used to the idea of the implications of his powers, as far as liberty is concerned. Ability/Skill: Shapeshifting, and other self-augmentation (including mental)

 Description: Male, wears mostly leather and other punk accessories. Red Hair, kinda evil looking Personality: acts uncaring and aloof, thinks he's a total bad-ass, curses a lot. Ability/Skill: Superhuman Accuracy and Powerful Guns

Description: Female, dresses like a tomboy, combat boots, wears hair back Personality: Fierce, Takes charge, dominating, loyal Ability/Skill: Energy projection

1. I'm seeing the young girl's prime weapon being a bow made from this power during her younger years. Perhaps she has a high level of power but can not call on it safely.
2. Seems like the kind of person who would jump between experiments, during each mission she pulls out something new and untested but would not bring with her many of her old experiments till she had a new design to try on them. Would need some base piece of tech that was always with her to help her perform experiments though.
3. In order for readers to keep up with things, I feel that he should have specific shape shift forms that he develops over time.
4. Couple of different directions we could go: Collector, Summoner, Crafter, or even him never changing from his first gun and just showing off new skills with gun.
5. I think we should start her off with a very general type of energy projection such as kinetic and let her experiment with more unconventional energies over time.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I agree with most of that. For the shape shifter I was thinking something less in the deception area and more in the practical area. Such as claws for fighting and boosting normal human parameters.

[Philote]

Seems fine to me

[Zaleramancer]

If it's okay with you, the field of science/engineering she uses would mostly be clockwork automatons and basic gadgetry.


Wee robot bugs. That explode. And such.

Rather than one of those build-a-abomination-against-nature-from-cadavers-and-lightning types.*

Her power relies on genre conventions to work. In order to get Mad Science, one must act like a Mad Scientist.

Since she doesn't act like one, she doesn't get as great results and has to rely more on actual science.


*Although she knows the theory, because her mother is one of those. Wonderful childhood, that.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That's fine with me. Oh and I'm glad you like the little scars on her forehead....I figured the signs of a self lobotomy would be appropriate.

[Philote]

For the gunner I suggest that we give him one unique gun that is of value to him, something named. After that he can collect different materials to integrate into the gun and even physic-defying shots at later points.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

After GV's suggestion I drew this...

[Philote]

I'm not sure that I like a solid gold one, I think it would look better with only a single prominent gold section along either the top of the barrel or the opening.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Hmmm?

[Zaleramancer]

Always nize to have someone to put you back together again if something goes wrong.

[Philote]

Yes, better I think.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Ok, and you'd like it to improve as the story advences perhaps becoming something akin to a hand held cannon near the end?

[Philote]

It wouldn't even have to change types of guns. It could be like your hat from NB, just gaining more components.
