My first two characters
14 years ago
I'm currently working on my first two superheroes, Justin Time and Collie Flower. Naturally, I've hit a few snags and cannot decide on a few things, though I do have them narrowed down to a couple scenarios. If you have any comments, ideas, critiques, etc, please don't hold back.
First: How Justin Time met his wife Jenny. Time, when seeing her, should end up making a fool of himself. Also, I want them to have met while Justin being a hero.
Scenario 1: Time is helping transport someone to the hospital. Jenny (either an ER doctor or nurse) is one of the first on the case. Time asks her out. She giggles and accepts. (Time makes a fool of himself by getting in the way of people, carts, etc.)
Scenario 2: Time saves the day. Wife is in the gathering crowd. He sees her. (Makes fool of self: Stops talking mid-sentence, stares, stutters, etc). He finds her later and asks her out. She accepts.
Scenario 3: Wife (somehow) accidentally hits Time with her car. She panics, checks if he’s OK. He heals himself. He is dumbstruck when he sees her. He recovers, plays it cool. Says she owes him a date for hitting him. She accepts.
Scenario 4: Time saves her from getting mugged at night. Instant connection.
I'm not the biggest fan of Scenario 4. It's too cliche/Spiderman-like. Of course, these can and will be expanded once the decision is actually made.
Second: How Collie Flower got her powers. (she has plant-based powers, in case it wasn't obvious)
Scenario 1: She works as a botanist. A lab accident gives her the powers (or a mutant creeper vine fuses with her). (I think this is too overused, but also a classic)
Scenario 2: She is a party planner. While planning a party in a research lab, an accident occurs, giving her the powers (or a mutant creeper vine fuses with her). (Adds the twist that she didn't actually work in research.)
Scenario 3: Somehow (either complete randomly or a mysterious stranger gives her), She eats mutated seeds that fuse with her body.
These too can be expanded.
Thirdly: Collie Flower's background
Scenario 1: Was always an attractive girl. Once she got powers, she went about superheroing. Eventually she met Time, and the two became friends.
Scenario 2: Was always an attractive girl, but unlucky in love life. She gets her powers. Unhappily single in her forties. Meets Time, whom she persuades to anti-age her (make her younger). So caught up in her new-found youth that she acts her new age.
Scenario 3: Was a relatively unattractive girl. In her forties, the incident that gave her powers occurred, and she also became very attractive. She superheroes, eventually meeting Time, whom she persuades to anti-age her (make her younger). She becomes excited in her youth and acts her new age, doing all the things she missed out on.
These can be expanded as well.
Lastly, what is probably tripping me up the most is Collie Flower's costume. There are just too many things to do. Here is a massive list of possible pieces of her costume. Vote for your favorite stuff, mix and match, go wild.
•General: turn fur green (if you're wondering how, she covers herself in a thin layer of plant cells, which, with their chloroplasts, make her appear green)
•Hair:
o Decorated with one large flower (changes color based on mood)
o Hair is replaced with thin vines
o Covered in small flowers
o Just green hair
o Hair is replaced with leaves
•Body:
o Leotard
o Leotard made of leaves
o Leotard made of flowers
o Dress made of leaves
o Dress made of flowers
o Dress made of flower petals
o Hula dancer costume-like: coconut/melon bra, palm leaf skirt
•Footwear:
o Barefoot (she's not a hippie)
o Shoes, boots, sandals, high-heels
o Boots like roots (see Plant Sims)
•Mask:
o Mask
o No mask
o Flower mask (perhaps white to accent vibrant green eyes)
•Miscellaneous:
o Skinny ivy vines along her limbs and body
o Gloves
o Belt
o Seedbag
o Decorate in Flowers
o Scarf of some sort
If you have questions or comments about anything, don't hesitate. I do have Time's costume already.
Have a good day.
