Duh!

Because the perpetual sorrow of orphan souls is much better put to use making a fantasy machine, ala Venture Brothers!

And for those, you don't even need a whole one!

sounds like a sound and solid idea *gets my orphan huntin' bag*

Oh~shi!

I believe there was a villian put forth in the D&D 3rd Edition Book of Vile Darkness that does just that.

It was a suit of armor, actually, that had orphans chained to it and reflected all damage it took to them. :>

Not quite. He had several orphans chained to his armor, so that whatever damage was inflicted upon him would be inflicted upon the orphans instead.

Man that book was freaky... I had to put it down after reading about fucking a corpse and turning it into armor...

-B!

you think that's bad, go take a look in elder evils.

they have a 3.5 unicron. good luck beating that.

Yipe.


All of the aforementioned heroes would be reluctant to face off versus this monstrosity.



I'd book. Like a cook. D:

Pautchi will fight him!

Hell she'd do it even if she wasn't full of crazy!

-B!

I say we get Plump Puppy, Lobster Jones, T-wrecked(wrecks?), Genzie, Mr. Puddingtree, AND that chick who had that bat-cave-esque hideout full of awesome background stuff to fight it.


Oh, and that chick's butler. Back in his tights. For queen and country and all that rot.


Maybe Genzie's Amazon friends too.



God what a lineup that would be...

and they still lose, until drake comes to save them!

Oh crap...If that thing comes in contact with Shinji, even the Londo Bell wouldn't be able to save us!

Shinji's not an orphan though. His dad's alive-ish. Evil. An egotistical d*ck. But alive.

Considering how Gendo treats him, might as well be an orphan.
In fact, that's the main source of his wangst.

The Dread Emperor :D He didn't drain their souls, just using them to heal himself when he gets hurt :D


...Orphan, the new Hi-potion.

I had to look over that a few times before I realized that it's that crazy lady with the handpuppet. I couldn't figure out what was happening.

Though I think that's more my being kind of sleepy right now and not your presentation.

Now that is something I'd never want to face. No matter who'd win it would be a tragic loss.

Orphans: a renewable energy resource compliments of war :D

And they're a Green source of power!

-B!

I'm gonna need about a million F's for the amount of Fuck needed to be said when facing this.

epic battle goX3

Eh, I can take him! XD

...Those orphans can still be rescued, right?

...um... well as evil as it would be to say 'no' while I'm not a happy camper at the moment, I have this sense of hope somewhere deep inside me that just doesn't seem to give up...

So yes... yes they can be saved.

-B.

*Glomp* You are the best person who has ever lived, ever.
Buddha ain't got nothin' on you.

She wont have a wet arm, but she will have a wet pants once she takes a look. o.o

It might not be as dramatic for her though since she's been warned...

-B!

it's easy.. you see all you have to do is kill all the orphans first!

you gain 40 vile points, make a will save or become a demon!

Nuh uh! I have my theory of evolution equipped so I get 40 points resistance bonus towards the supernatural from blind scientific faith! :P praise be to the prophet darwin and may peace be with you!

Your stuff always makes me smile thanx for being you!

Dude, what drugs do you take to come up with these ideas and where can I get some?

Sadly, it's nothing entertaining. I'm just taking pain I feel in life and converting it into ink.

-B.

Dear god...I must fight this incredible ultimate bos---*Dies instantly* Dammit! XO

Makes sense. They have to overcome everything. Bad enugh life tosses most normal people a dip stick cirve ball. BUt when your an Orphin (don't froget Annie ether!) You have to over come the fact you got no parents.

Annie can suck on it!

Like she's ever done anything... plus she's piss-poor loli!

-B!

She used her orphin powers to become rich!... Probably by sucking it.

good god i think i have the same look as her hand puppet with that monster

Doctor Venture has long known about this power source.

My god...please...please please PLEASE can I steal that idea for my campaign???

Sure, have at!

-B!

I'd ask the same but I've already been accused of being too grim and dark.: <

Grim and dark? now i AM curious XD. Hehe you must play some fun games.

No I just pick some terrible modules it seems. o.@

Ow lol.

... The orphan-powered armour, or the handpuppet?

Oh, the concept of using the power of the sorrow of orphans to power an epic level evil.

Dr. Venture: Well, I might have used a few unorthodox ingredients.
Dr. Orpheus: Just name one.
Dr. Venture: An... orphan.
Dr. Orpheus: A what?
Dr. Venture: A... little orphan boy.
Dr. Orpheus: This machine is powered BY THE SOUL OF A FORSAKEN CHILD?
Dr. Venture: Well, I don't know, I mean I didn't use the whole thing!

We're sorry, but we ran out of internets, but we hope that this universe shall suffice for your amount of WIN.

Tread softly...Carry a big sword

Oh well... at least I prefer listening to Metallica music. And yeah, the orphan thingie is always serious, but most people use orphans for their stories to raise the "Emotion-o-meter".

A. Is that puppet actually alive?
B. It wouldn't be the first time...didn't Dr Venture try to build a "joy can" using the heart of an orphan?
C. Because Dr Orphious would probably appear and destroy it.
D. Failing that, the orphans want for a family would make the creature just want a big hug, a warm blanket, and someone to snuggle. No evil can stand up to that.
E. And anyone who would create that would probably be kidnapped by several deities and savagely beaten with fish. Gods love orphans. Its true, look it up.

A. Oven mitts aren't alive. That's just silly.
B. Yeah... I forgot about that one...
C. He might not be in this world. It is a furry fantasy world after all.
D. It's feeding off the sorrow of their souls as they decay inside it's cold insides.
E. Typically Deities don't get their hands dirty. They need adventuring parties to do the jobs for them.

B!

.....Furry Dr O. Now I'm curious.

And dang it, more deities need to be like the norse and greek ones. Tick them off they would kick ya dang ass.

i am so stealing your villain concept there and posting it on /tg/

Awesome!

they weren't impressed

apparently its been done before, the whole orphan suffering BBEG

D:

I'd say there was a brain involved somehow, as clearly there's a brain in the thing.

I'm guessing the 'blow up the castle and kill everything' path didn't work out quite right.

It doesn't really need intelligence.

You could give it a basic sensory field where it detects anyhting that's putting out an emotional state then it zeroes in on the target and crushes it.

-B!

But I can't feint if it has no brain meats.

Wow.


Actually I think there was a demon kind of like that in an episode of Ghostbusters but I was like... 8 or so when i saw that episode sooooo yeeeah... details are kindda fuzzy.

Man, I can barely remember that cartoon.

I can recall the werewolf/vampire episode. That was fun.

-B!

Oh yeah that's one of my clearest episode memories too! XD

....i need to save up for that huge boxset that was released... assuming it's still available...

..or I can jsut try and find the episodes on Youtube...

Oh I'm sure it can be ordered online. Everything else in the world can be!

-B!

Yeah but the last price I heard for the uber boxset was about $117... ^.^;

Then find someone that has it and 'arrange an accident' for them.

Make sure they leave it to you in their will first... otherwise you'll have to repeat that first step.

-B!

Genius!

*hides behind the wall* >.>

*runs for the planet buster bomb in my garage* <.<

A demonic war machine that uses the sorrows of orphans is definetly an interesting foe to face....too bad video game designers are too interested in making monsters designed to make people vomit....

There are some comparable in tabletop games, for example the Argonizer in Hordes (a warbeast cub that gets tortured to project this pain as an attack against the enemy)

And like half of the Dark Eldar weapons in Warhammer 40K.

True, with the exception in Soulstorm on PC. It doesn't torture it kills.

I am aware that some tabletop games have something similar to this. I believe from the comments that i read there is one similar beast in D&D.

All that messed up Silent Hill stuff?

-B!

Got me there. Still, there are very few game developers who would do that.

Ever played BioShock? ;X

That does seem like a good idea... I'll have to make a note of it.

and how exactly is her fractured mind allowing her to use her hand as a reliable periscope?

It's a mystery!

-B!

I..I thought that's what the Director of Child Protective Services was...

They supply the makers of these things for large piles of gold.

-B!

Logan fits that category better than Parker, plus he's REALLY driven (to say the least).

True! Although he didn't know for the longest time what his origin was, and who knows, it might still change again someday.

-B!

Dude, that's awesome.

For the first time, I feel I have met an enemy no one could ever beat. XD

.......uhhh....*flees*
Who would do that to orphans!?

Evil people that wanted to create an endless engine of destruction?

Although it looks like it has take some damage to it's right side over the years.

-B!

-B!

Can we free them? Or is too late? *sobs...he's a softie*

So scary it made a puppet...wait...how could she know what it's seeing....

She doesn't, she had to be told by it what it's seeing.

-B!

But...it's...all in her messed up head...right?

Hard to say, after all, the puppet has seen Star Wars and she hasn't... how does that work?

-B!

*Cue twilight zone music*

Ah, ablative meatshield. Sort of...

My wife gave birth to an orphan. Now she's 18 and moving out...We're going to miss her, and her random bouts of Orphan Rage...

How does an orphan have a mother? Are they just round under rubble piles?

-B!

I knew someone was going to get the joke.

8)

I only once had a monster that used the desperation of the Last Survivor chained up in it to scare it's enemies away.

Interesting!

If they were orphaned DWARVES it would be unstoppable. As it is, I see puppies, kittens, and is that an elf? These are not the components of unbeatable thematic might. These are the components of jokes about candy and creepy loli panty shots. I think he's goin' down. SHE has Psycho on her side.

Very Dr Venture. Though he only used part of an orphan.

That's just wasteful.

I wonder what he did with the rest of it.

-B!

Used its shin and sinew for more speed suits.

Thats genius... Cruel yet genius.. and orphans are so easy to make.
Seriously thats badass. I love the lok on the cow's face. heh. I'm sencing a split personality. Or an enchanted puppet. Great way to scout though

Freakin' Sausages! Hilarious and terrifying all at the same time. Man, your line art just blows me away!

For the same reason you don't try to smoke a stick of dynamite?

Some forces are too powerful to harness...
You can only get out of the way.

-Badger-

I wonder what a puppet would pee...

Yellow yarn and lots of it!

-B!

YOU FOOL! You cannot reveal such secrets! You have damned us, once the forces of hell read of this they will storm the over world with their fel engines of misery and woe and there's nothing we'll be able to do about it. So let it be known I was the first to proclaim it Drakefenwick killed Earth!...


no offense.

Great comic. I love that line. Umm how is it that the puppet has seen Star Wars but she has not?? Scary.

Maybe she didn't make it to the theater... then again she's in a fantasy world... so Star Wars probably isn't showing anywhere...

Weird...

-B!

That makes so much sense! I mean, Dr. Venture knew how powerful it was when he made one of his machines; didn't waste one bit of that orphan!

I believe those are called "Devourers" and you can see the life like shape of the child in their chest as it slowly feasts upon their body and soul til nothing remains.

Poor little guy! Don't let anything happen to him, Tauchi!

So have you still not read that story yet?

I keep coming back tot his picture, and I keep finding the puppets expression PERFECT. Well done ^^

Thanks! I'm trying to figure out more things to do with Pautchi.

-B!

I actually missed the part where she's holding up the cow puppet. o.o;
