I'd be up for something... but I need it to be fresh. Part of my problem was that everything stagnated far too quickly (honestly, I'm afraid it might do so again) and, as a result, I lost interest. Icarus, I think, was a one-trick pony who shot his load too quickly to be more than what he was... though I had plans to make him greater. Grissom was always fun, but I just ran out of ideas (which seems insane, considering the potentials and rivalries a character like that is bound to have). If I do continue to write him, I may even bring in a 'main foil' for him - as Grimm helped me flesh out about a year ago - to keep it interesting.

Seriously, though, Pro - if you and I-Man, with your new-fangled fresh perspectives, can inspire me to write something, then I might as well be in.



I hear you 100% Chewy! Stagnation and lack of progress is the harbinger of boredom.

I've made Icarus into something of a tragic character, at first. His body has been changed, and grafted with cybernetics (of your own design and choosing, I assure you). To me, at first, he's not gonna be too thrilled with what he's become. But, Like Johnny Storm, I expect him to jump after awhile and be even better than before. And, most importantly, more mature than before. Is he leadership material now? Could be.

Lykopis, I'm going to flesh out some. Take away a slight bit of her personal hardness. Remind her how to be a woman without having to be so utterly dominating. That was CJ's thing. Not mine. I think it's time she stepped up and helped lead a group anyway.

Victor is Victor, and Danny can do what he wants. I just took his sight to make him even more dangerous.

Adem without the ability of easy communication. But, his brain was always his power, not his mouth. Can he re-learn English? Why did he lose it in the first place?

Ozzy's skin is now metallic, ala' Colossus. And, he can't turn it off. Not much of an impediment. But, it's something to start with. I may do more.

These are just my initial ideas. I think it goes without saying that any creator may override my wishes. However, unless they're going to do something different than before, I would rather the character just be removed all together.

And, last but most importantly.....pick a character. And that's it, you know? No matter what Gaunt may have said in that last post, I have had no intention of having Paragon, or anyone else readily appear still the way they were. The world is changed. The La Perdita team...are they gone? What's happened? I stated that 11 people had vanished over a year ago, with six being the crew I spotlighted. With Gaunt gone, it's five. Who are the rest? Well, that's the hole I left open for others to bring a character in. Notice, my concept is that these characters that have been missing...they're the only ones that really know the world is different than it was.

And, really.....what happened to these eleven? What happened to the six we've seen so far? What happened to make them so different? What changed them? What took Victor's eyes? Adem's "tongue"? What scarred Lykopis, hardened Ozzy, and teched-up Icky?

That's the exploration I'm looking for from you guys. And, one that I hope isn't solved in a single story.

Does any of this make sense?
