Renegades update coming! (plus the thoughts behind them)
7 years ago
Header! Ball! Yay!
Sorry it's been so long, for those who care about my superhero-based universe! I've been working a lot lately, and much of my creative ability has been drained finding new ways to cope at work. However, that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about my peeps, and have even been working on drawing some of them.
I'm almost done with a pin-up of James, and plan on doing a few others as well as a revamp of Alan's image as my sona, not so much as he is in my story.
One major update coming is another rework to Lurianna, aka Siren/Selkie. As a character she's undergone tons of changes over the last decade, from a bouncy airhead to more of a "big sister" or "middle sibling" type, and also lots of changes to her powers. Some major points of her upcoming changes will be removing her healing powers as well as a focus on sonic/sound based abilities.
As the main female member of my original team of 5, her role was a bit hard to pin down. We didn't need sassy seductress, as James had that role. Lead and muscle were also taken, and Baxter has the corner on snark. Innocence and purity seemed to be big parts of her role as she developed, but also dealing with a loss of innocence, coming into one's own strength, and the duality of relying on friends while remaining independent, the last one shared with the leader, Alan. The removal of her healing powers also comes from the idea that death is a very real part of their world. With the events of the main story being brought on by the death of one of the world's most well known heroes, and many "villains" just being the victims of a deeper evil present in the world, magical healing powers tends to undo a lot of the consequences of character's actions. It's easy to rush headlong to your death if you know someone can bring you back from the brink of death. I was taught this from Boku no Hero Academia, or My Hero Academia, a story I hope to live up to in greatness some day. Still, focusing on her own "power of the voice", from a character who often has a hard time finding the strength to speak up, is a better fit for her as a character, in my opinion.
I do plan on writing up the later additions to the team in short order, as well, so get hyped for the arrival of Navixus, Shade, Roulette, and Emerald, as well as a tertiary cast list.
Thanks to all my amazing friends for their continued support and love! You guys are great!
