This is for the Western Civilization Board Monthly Art Theme Jam: OCTOBER - HORROR http://westerncivilization.trifecta.....p=41619#p41619
Horror based comics cartoons and games are pretty ripe for some DiD here and there. Let's make that happen this month since it's Halloween time!
We have the star of Chaos! Comics Chastity, it seems that this vampire gurl has fallen into more evil
Chastity is both the name of a comic book character and series in which she is primarily featured. It was produced and published by Chaos!Comics and currently owned by Tales of Wonder. Chastity was created in 1995 by Brian Pulido, the head of Chaos! Comics and principal writer for the company he founded to develop and explore his characters. Visually, Chastity was given her classic look (a sexy punk-goth girl with dominatrix undertones) by the talented and sorely missed Stevem Hughes, Pulido's long time collaborator, who designed and drew many of Chaos' now iconic characters.
Chastity Marks began life as a typical young American girl living in Toledo, Ohio, with her story of adventure starting in the mid-1970's. Her father Lorenzo was a vain and ill-tempered man who owned a hair salon; he despised his daughter and often abused and molested her, considering her worthless and bringing shame upon the family. Chastity dreamed of being accepted into a prestigious drama school and having a career as an actress. She decided to flee her miserable home life and traveled to London to audition for the Royal Shakespeare Academy, but was rejected. Devastated and wandering the London streets, she came across a punk rock group known as The Nobs, who befriended her and took her in as an assistant. Although she privately thought their music was terrible, she and lead singer Billy Zone began dating and grew closer together.
One night while the Nobs were playing a concert, Chastity was sent to fetch drumsticks from the group's van parked in an alleyway. In the dark alley she was ambushed by Farley, an obese old vampire in a Union Jack T-shirt. The vampire bit her and drank her blood, though Chastity managed to escape being fully drained by stabbing him in the eye with a drumstick and fleeing before eventually passing out.
When Chastity awoke, she found herself the guest of a beautiful Elder vampire known as the Countess, who explained to the unfortunate girl that she was now a vampire due to the attack. The Countess also discovered that Chastity's vampire status could not be sensed by other vampires, making her a perfect weapon to use against them. At the Countess's urging, Chastity tracked down and tore out the throat of Farley (the vampire who turned her) and found that she enjoyed the act enormously. This marked the start of Chastity's career as an assassin of vampires and the deadliest weapon of the Countess.
Like nearly all of Chaos's main characters, Chastity was initially portrayed as completely amoral, enjoying killing for fun, even if her victims were innocents. Her story began in the classic vein of the modern vampire, being a rebellious young teenager whose death would hardly be noticed. In her early appearances she was Evil Ernie's partner in mayhem and developed an unrequited crush on him, but could never live up to his true love Lady Death. (Chastity didn't meet Lady Death until just before the end of the original Chaos universe, and when she did she could not fault Ernie's taste.) During this time Chastity's character was particularly unencumbered by emotion or empathy and was mainly a violent thrill-seeker.With the telling of her full origin story in 1996, Chastity gradually underwent the most pronounced villain-to-hero arc of all of Chaos's characters. She was made sympathetic by showing her as a typical teenage girl suffering under an abusive father, then having her dreams crushed after she ran away from home, and finally becoming the unfortunate victim of a random vampire attack. Though she still became a vampire assassin afterwards, she used her powers to protect innocent lives rather than take them, killing only evil vampires and other supernatural monsters. When Chastity eventually traveled back home to visit her parents, she confronted her abusive father and beat and humiliated him to end his abuse of her and her mother, but did not violently kill him as she certainly would have in earlier depictions.
Chastity's portrayal as a heroic character continued after Dynamite Entertainment bought the rights to Chastity and gave her a completely new origin story in 2014. Rather than a physically abusive father, Chastity now had an emotionally abusive mother who pushed her daughter too hard to be an Olympic medalist. Instead of being attacked by a random vampire on the street, Chastity was attacked by the main vampire villain of the story, who also murders her parents and turns her brother into a vampire. Chastity is not shown traveling to London or meeting Billy Zone and the Nobs, but in the main Chaos! Universe series published by Dynamite she is still shown to be dating Billy. Therefore it must be assumed that despite having a completely rebooted origin story, some elements of her first origin story still apply to the rebooted Chastity.
With her punk red hair and revealing dominatrix-like outfits, Chastity is considered a prominent example of the 1990's Bad Girl Art movement, and she became a popular choice to render in pinup art even for artists outside of Chaos. Even though Chastity has changed publishers twice since the demise of Chaos Comics in 2002, she has remained a favorite subject among Bad Girl pinup artists.
