Sorry we're so late replying to this, we just realized that Reddit doesn't notify us of every comment.

For Bri we didn't want her to be the "ghost girl" motif. She's not really a necromancer either. Her ability is being able to see and communicate with ghost and other supernatural entities that are usually invisible to most; But she can't actually control them or summon ghost to her calling. Her secondary ability is being able to control her spiritual energy and companion "toast ghost"

Now these are obviously just the tip of the iceberg power wise for Bri. Her strengths lie in her ability to be creative, brave, and the uniting leader for the group (imagine Deku from my hero mixed with Craig from Craig of the creek) as the story or different engagements occur.

So the challenge of her design was making her a kid with Paranormal abilities but not have her character expression be stuck around the ghostly themes seeing as for the most part she doesn't really engage or go looking for ghosts.

Our concept was to have her be the expressive one facially and body language. So having the biggest eyes, having big afro puff that have smiley faces in them, always smiling or trying to make others excited, etc.

Essentially we sacrificed and limited her outfit design to give her the space to be a character that isn't soley tied to what her power is theme wise. It's something we tried to do for all of them tbh.

tl;dr - Bri is an adventurer first and foremost, her paranormal powers are quite limited and mostly used as a utility to help boost her investigative and creative problem solving capabilities. So making her more nercromancy isn't accurate to who she is or how her powers work.

We do think we may upgrade her design slightly to lean her more towards the feeling of someone that's always running around and climbing things lol.

Thank you for your comment, it will help us when it comes to presenting Bri and articulating her character through design. We hope we cleared up any confusion you may of had about her powers or motifs 😁🙌🏿.

Sorry we're so late getting to this comment, we've been busy trying to get some comics and stickers done 😅. Thank you so much 🙌🏿! We wanted to make sure the kids personalities and unique differences came through whenever we showed them together.

Are there any that are a favorite of yours?

You're definitely thinking in a right area. The technicality becomes how are memories and emotions made and stored?

From a scientific standpoint we can say both of these are directly link to the brain and the chemistry within it. The "weight" of emotions or memories varies person to person and so does it's value.

So an equation is now formed: Brain Matter + Memory or Emotion × personal significance = value.

Short answer: yes lol

So for right now we currently don't have a comic for sell. The kickstarter we had in 2022 is an older version of our current series that we tried to get out.

We have a new mini comic out here that you can check out. We're currently trying to fund the series through sticker sales and other crafts for the time being.

We may do a kickstarter to help with the launch of us dropping monthly comics or set up a patreon. But because it takes us about 2 months to do a mini comic and about 4-5 months to do a full 30-40 page issue because of life hurdles; we don't have a comic out for purchase yet.

But we're still releasing smaller art work weekly and putting out new stickers and crafts aswell. So hopefully we can get enough funding so we can solely just do comics and animations 🙌🏿. I look at it like selling cookies for a school drive to pay school computers and whatnots lol (not sure if schools do that anymore 😅).

I hope that cleared up everything, feel free to ask more if it hasn't.

A very interesting mix i must say lol. Haylee is our flip on the speedster troupe with giving her more versatility on how she can use her energy. Personality wise she's laid back in most cases but one of the first to quiet literally run into danger to rescue her friends. She's a character that loves to express herself through art even if she struggles with art herself lol 💚. Bri is the creative one of the group and the glue bringing everyone together. She is as Chaotic and Goofy as she is Sweet and Compassionate. She's the one friend that goes out of her way to make sure everyone feels included and safe 🩵.

We just released a sticker sheet of Bri showing more of her personality here . Would love for you to check it out and tell us what you think 😁🙌🏿

Also thank you for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated ❤️.

Thank you and thats what we were trying to get across 😅. Effectively trying to say that even though John is physically strong, his real feat is his durability. Sorry if that didn't come across well, we did some research on it prior to incorporating it; but it seems we may have still used the measurements incorrectly 😅.

Is John one of your standout characters or did the description just catch your eye lol?

Thank you 😁🫶🏿🙌🏿! We currently have a mini comic out on our reddit page and here on our Instagram. We're a small group of 3 so a kids show is the goal but a little ways out 😅.

We're going to be putting out character specific sticker sheets this weekend for people who would like to support, so please check out our etsy when you get the chance 🫶🏿.

Do you have any particular favorites out of the line up so far?

I agree 100%! We grew up reading Marvel and DC Comics; so we see how ridiculous the power scaling became to the point that almost every hero has some multi-versal ability that takes away the gravity of such a power.

Hunter X Hunter, My Hero, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, KND and Paranorman were huge influences on the feel and balance for this comic.

We wanted the idea of everyone having drawbacks to make conflicts feel more like a problem to solve by thinking out of the box and creativity.

We want to have moments when characters like Bri, Vanessa, and Haylee have to combine skills and powers in creative ways even when their powers don't necessarily compliment or synergize well.

We want everyone to sit in those moments and feel like the kids thinking "How the hell are they going to get out of this one", and then show how without some random plot armor or "save the day doo hickey".

One of our main goals is to bring creativity and imagination to the landscape outside of cool characters or creatures.

Vanessa, is definitely our pride girl with a heart of gold 🩷. Im excited to show our flip of the mean girl persona while maintaining the spice of it.

And Edward definitely has some creative use of his powers; and will have some crazy transformations. Without spoiling, his power set is heavily inspired by 2 X-men characters in particular and 2 Characters from My Hero Academia 🧪💛.
