Right...Cowgirl's list...
Danny
Fun to write, and fun to read about. Plus, being an animal lover myself, I always found it fun to test things out on Danny. Besides the Amazing Animal Powers (TM), I really dug the futuristic aspect with Danny and Hal's background. It was so sad to see him leave.
I never did get to write the "Hal, snake penis!" bit.
Raptor
Pro and Chewy managed to eat up all the compliments before I did.
Cheers to the Hawkman! Was his history confusing back when I was a greenhorn? Fuck yeah. Would I have it any other way? Nope.
Drake and Drax
Ouch. I really like Drake more and more now that he's walking around and taken over as leading in Vanguard Europe. Sometimes I think the 'celeb' aspect is a little overdone, but I appriciate the humor. Despite all this, I
loved the idea of him and Drax's link. Extra points since Drax doesn't even look like a typical dragon. Much more orignal. Hopefully one day we can have both of them in the same room in a main story.
Ozzy
So, it turns out my roommate LOVES
Unbreakable and was so surprised I haven't seen it yet. Oh well. Ozzy's so fun to write -- heck, I even like his name. We
need a character that we can beat the shit out of, be it for comic relief or to actually move the story forward. It's a good way to let out agression as well. "I only got a B on that paper? Well, I'll go home and right Ozzy getting run over by a train. That'll make me feel better." I am looking forward to the ways he'll escape getting the crap beat out of him by Lykopis.
Gaunt
My favorite character of Grimm's so far. Still haven't gotten Guant down yet, but like with Danny, I simply enjoy reading more with him in it. The whole shadow power is fun to work with. Plus, I enjoy him scaring the shit out of Ozzy. Pro, you were brilliant in the last VE post.
Grissom Montag
Ah, what's there not to love about Grissom? Besides the stuggle I go through trying to figure out how to make the word 'door' sound more British. As soon as I saw
X2 I feel in love with Nightcrawler, and I'm glad to see that transporter power is in Vanguard. Jason Statham is currently pinned to our fridge, and it's hard to picture Grissom any other way. It's weird seeing him with only one girl, but someone, I get the feeling Montag mimics Richard Sharpe -- still chasing skirts, but somehow, it doesn't seem all to bad when he does it.
Phil Smith
Note to self: take more time writing mental scenes with Phil. The human mind is an incredible thing, and it makes sense that for Phil, it is the ultimate battlefield. Hoo-rah. Plus, I always enjoyed the relationship between Phil and Leslie.
Adem Different
Okay, I have never heard of anyone spelling their name that way. But nevermind. Adem's so fun to write. Jive, baby, jive. He's so misplaced and awkward that we have an unlimited list of tricks and stories he can bring in to the net. Let's have some more of this travelin' alien. And his smart-assed AI.
Brianna
When I started writing Lykopis, I wanted her to be the 'correct' version of Brianna. First step -- don't give her an impossible last name! Brianna's is currently on a sticky-note next to my computer. I can't even remember it (then again, I can't remember my own zip code)! At the time, I thought Brianna had suffered from my lack of experience and Lykopis would be the 'solution'. However, by that time I had grown fond of little Banshee, and I realized that I would have to work my ass off to make sure she wouldn't be tossed in the scrap pile. The two of us have come a long way, and I'm pleased with the little Irish bird.
