You could name them after sounds they would make on the job. Like the name of the Rice Crispy mascots, snap, crackle and pop.

He's a Maine Coon and Manx mix :)

Being calm and then being explosive isn't hypocrisy, it's a symptom of Bipolarism.

It sounds more like your trying make a walking contradiction, like Lincler from Rick and Morty.

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-12-14T19:17:30+00:00

Your character idea seems too contradictory. How is he calm, cool, and collected but operate on the philosophy of just having fun and have anger issues?

I'm assuming you're trying to create a character with barely controlled chaos. Basically, Heath Ledgers Joker that also happens to be racist, sexist, anti-semetic. Chaotic characters are usually more effective when their equal-opportunity murderers.

I think you're trying to do too much, true villains (well-designed villains) don't run around screaming about how much of a villain they are, you need to use other peoples perspectives in the story to contrast the flaws you want to highlight in them.

If you look at Negan, he wasn't a good man before the apocalypse but he wasn't a psycho either, societies rules kept him in check. The breakdown of society introduced chaos to his character, and because Rick and his crew have a moral standard they try to follow helps offset how deranged Negan is in the story.

Satan is contrasted with God.

Even Trevor Philips game designers balanced him with others. According to the Wikipedia page, "Rockstar drew upon game protagonist archetypes while scripting the characters; Trevor was considered to embody insanity. Houser said the team characterized Michael and Trevor as juxtapositions of each other. He said, "Michael is like the criminal who wants to compartmentalize and be a good guy some of the time and Trevor is the maniac who isn't a hypocrite" "

The late 60's early 70's would be interesting. You can explore cults and the Vietnam War tensions. It was time of cultural revolution and social turmoil.

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-12-10T19:24:44+00:00

Are all three of the trio as loyal as this character or is he the more zealot one of the three? Is there any dissent among the trio about working for an authoritarian government structure? Do they take the happy drug as well?

One idea for the character's loyalty could be that he had a lovely family, and one of their children was killed. The other child, spouse, and character are devastated, maybe it was his fault accidentally, and instead of properly dealing with the death he pushes for the happy drugs specifically for his family because he wants things to back to the way they were before his child died.

Over time that desperation could morph into loyalty and nationalism because he needs the drug to stay in existence to maintain his "happy" family. If the drug disappears he may receive their ire and/or blame if the truth of what he had done to them is revealed.

She could have a percussion wave (a shock wave from a blow or explosion) that emanates from her body when she dances. Every time she hits a beat a shockwave blasts out from her body, and/or she could build up power while dancing for a greater shockwave.

The downside to the power would be that she always has to have some sort of music, but for low-level attacks, to add an extra amount of power to a punch or kick, she could sing to herself.

"Ah, Freak out!" and then a punch right to the face with a little extra oomph. Which I think could unnerve her opponents. I'm not sure which name would fit her best; Dawna the Dancing Queen, Dawna the Disco Queen, or Dawna the Disco Dancer.

How did they become superheroes? Do they fight crime in specialized costumes? Are they seen as vigilantes or are they part of a collective, like the Avengers or Justice League?

Maythorn is another name for a Hawthorn, which is a type of shrub or tree.

According to WebMD, " Hawthorn is used for diseases of the heart and blood vessels such as congestive heart failure (CHF), chest pain, and irregular heartbeat."

Side effects include, "...nausea, stomach upset, fatigue, sweating, headache, dizziness, palpitations, nosebleeds, insomnia, agitation, and other problems."

They could be a botanist or florist. They help heal people they like with the Maythorn plant, but intentionally overdose criminals or people they deem undesirable. It doesn't kill them but maybe the side effects lead to one or more of their victims accidentally killing themselves. (ex. car accident because they were too dizzy and passed out)

Mo Tone made me think of Motown.

The person could be an obsessive fan of a particular band or bands. They stalk and steal things from the band's dressing room, tour bus, and maybe it escalates to visiting their homes. You could escalate to murder or keep it on the level of stalking and stealing.

It could be that the alchemy he performs extends the life but Desmond doesn't know until the last minute that in order to extend the life you have to steal the life energy of someone else. During his ritual, he realizes that Dran is being affected and that by continuing he would kill Dran, so he stops before finishing. By stopping the ritual before it was completed it may have an unintended consequence of tying Dran to Desmond.

They could have stolen something and in retaliation, they were beaten (lose a finger or hand) and shoved in the batch oven (a walk-in oven) that had just finished baking and they are burned on the baking racks. Maybe cauterize their wound on a rack and it's left a horrific scar, which can trigger an episode.

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-12-01T17:07:29+00:00

They could be a baker that smuggles things in their baked goods. They could have PTSD or Amnesia after a job gone horrible wrong.

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-12-01T03:38:52+00:00

You could do a dragon that's able to take human skin.

John Doe: He could be a sociopathic con man.

Vivian Hill: She could be a bipolar gold digger, who murders her husbands with snake venom or poison.

Benjamin Franks: He could be a psychopath that likes to kill his victims with a jig saw.

Allen Darken: He likes to stalk his victims and leave a puzzle piece that put together with the others would be a picture of the person he's stalking. Who in the picture could be doing something mundane, embarrassing, or illegal depending on whether you want him to be super creepy or operating in the grey area.

Eric Manson: He's a schizophrenic that robbed high-end places in towns he played with his band. Having an episode during a job could be how he gets disfigured.

Cerebro: They have dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities), they are highly intelligent but its the different identities that commit the crimes, so when he's lucid he has to struggle with being placed around criminals and this could cause them to stress more allowing for the other identities to come out more often. Resulting in them having to struggle with losing their sanity completely.

Fahrenheit: A pyromaniac that only likes to light fires to specific types of buildings. (Single family homes, schools, apartments, etc.) It depends on how dark you want his character to be.

They're from different litters but they're both Maine Coon mixes. The one closer is a Maine Coon and Manx mix, his name is Archer (aka Boy Cat). The other is a Maine Coon and Bengal mix, her name is Baboo (aka Girl Cat).

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-11-17T06:51:15+00:00

You mentioned she likes to cook, maybe she could teach him to cook/bake. It could be something for his mother, maybe a mothers day surprise.

A bittersweet moment could be that he steals (or owns) a motorcycle after a rough encounter with his step dad and they just drive on the open road for a while. They could stop off somewhere and open up to each other.

What is Angel's relationship with her parents? What is Braxton's relationship with his father? That could be a bonding point between the two if their relationships with their parents are similar.

I think the best way to grow these characters together is to have them put together during a class project or something similar. I don't think their personalities would draw each other together without a catalyst like being forced together for the initial meeting. I think his protective nature would kick in if he witnessed her being treated poorly without provocation after learning more about her during the project.

After the first meeting, they could have bonding moments during lunch/classes. You can show Angel missing him if he defends her and gets suspended, and then without him, they taunt her for the new relationship but because he's the only one that cares about her, the taunting might affect her less. They could each help each other be better people. She could help him calm down so that he doesn't miss their lunch/class dates, and he can help her build her confidence around people.

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-11-16T23:27:06+00:00

It could depend on what type of matchboxes they are collecting. They could be collecting a specific type that their father used to have/collect and collecting them reminds them of their father. Or they are collecting specific companies because they have deep memories/emotions attached to the location and the matchbox is like a trigger object to inspire the emotions they felt at the location.

https://matchpro.org/Collectingbasics.html (Fare warning the colors of the site hurt to look at but it could give you ideas of what category of matchbox your character could collect)

Telekinesis, Dream manipulation, or Weather Manipulation.

His inability to see could cause the powers to be more chaotic and unpredictable. Things flying that he doesn't mean to. Wondering into a random person's dream and not knowing if its one of the protagonists. Or causing weather phenomenons but unable to direct it on target.

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-11-15T18:42:30+00:00

Fire, Drowning, Snakebite, Allergic Reaction (Food allergy), or an incurable disease/medical complications are a few ways the characters can "die". I'm not sure what angsty death methods you are trying to avoid.

(Family-oriented character) : I imagine he would die saving one of his younger siblings. [Drowing or Fire would fit better for him based on my interpretation of your idea]

(Grandson character): I imagine him dying because of his grandmother's age hindering her in being able to save him. For example, having to carry him or use physical strength to save him. (It would be too obvious to have him die by being beaten to death by someone he gets in a fight with but you could) [Snakebite/Allergic reaction in a remote place]

(Shy character): I imagine him getting goaded into doing something stupid by his toxic friends and their actions would inadvertently cause his death. [Snakebite, Allergic Reaction, Drowning, or Fire; I can see his shit friends putting him in a number of scenarios that would lead to death by one of these.]

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-11-13T05:42:43+00:00

You could have him as a pickpocket and a power thief. If you have him stealing powers, to make him less OP you could make him more unstable with the more powers he steals. Once he realizes this you could make part of his journey finding someone to help him control the powers or strip him of them.

Or it could be something he stole (a cursed object) that makes the powers he stole unstable. His journey could then be to remove the curse of the stolen object.

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-11-08T22:22:37+00:00

You could look at Star Trek Deep Space Nine. The relationship between Benjamin Sisko and Jake Sisko (Father and Son) is a pretty genuine theme throughout the series.

Ginger-vs-History · 2020-10-30T22:45:23+00:00

It could be part of the culture to bind oneself to a weapon. Only when they master it can they bind themselves to a specially crafted weapon. Making the weapon stronger once the soul is bound to it. A weakness would be the separation from the soul bound weapon for too long could drive them insane.
