I really enjoy that you went with something a little more off the wall and focused on robots. Streamlining how you presented the robot and creation could have helped some. I can't wait to see how this will go

I like that your scientist starts outside of the lab, so your story starts with a slower build up to insanity. However, I'd really loved to have seen some indications of what she will become - little hints of science- y stuff or even a bit more manic expression.

The gods had been keeping a careful eye on La Reina de la Muerte. Though she had tricked them and they desired revenge upon her more than anything, they were bound by the laws of the Universe which forbade them from taking back a gift (even a flawed one). They needed a plan to find her weak spot and extort it to their own benefit. Acolmiztli, the god of the underworld, so desired to have her in his realm (her rightful place as he saw it) that he came up with a plan. He would send a secret double agent to La Reina de la Muerte in the form of a lost spirit. He found the spirit of a young girl who had been tortured to death, blind in one eye and forbidden to speak unless spoken to, to enact his plan and sent her off with explicit instructions to befriend La Reina and find her weakness. The spirit, known only as La Alma, approached La Reina after the great ball and besought the immortal to take her into service. La Reina, a cruel creature as always, saw the opportunity to have a slave that could not die, and put La Alma to work. La Reina de la Muerte set to finding more ways to regain her beauty, and all the while, La Alma was reporting back what she saw when she poured the wine.

It's an original concept and the delivery of it was good - I had actually initially given you less for style because I didn't find it that appealing at first but it's really grown on me in the short time it took me to write this far... I don't have much to say about it, except that I really love the concept and your execution was a massive step up from last round.

Another impressive work this week. I love how you went with the rich reds and bleak blacks, heading for the basic grays instead. This is a bold choice, having the face fairly complex, but tats/scars/markings not showing on the rest of the avatar. Still, good work.

Feedback: The face is so mischievous and trouble-making and then the rest of the outfit is this veneer of sugary sweet goodness, which is really great. The only downside to this entry is that, that whole sugary sweetness is so common on gaia these days and it's so easy to execute well, but as you can see from your creativity score, you weren't that affected because you managed to use that common idea in a pretty original way. I like the use of the sheep and the cane a lot and the face, as I said earlier, is excellent.

Hot damn! Normally, pastels don't really work in a scenario such as this, but I am in love with the ensemble here. Truly amazing work from you, Jam. My one nitpick is that there isn't enough white to balance out the rest of the colors. Still, great job!

What's so great about a tiny little robot?
The simple fact that is reports back to me from time to time... Those idiots at the Christian Convention Center have no idea that I've been keeping tabs on their activities to make my less than legal activities safe from their meddling.
Though I must say... Christian Gal's changing room videos have brought me some supplemental income to finance some new robotic parts...

icon_rofl.gif Your description is really funny man. Now, on to the real meat, which is judging. I can't tell where one part of the robot begins and where another part ends. Dunno if that is a good thing or not, but you kept it nicely done. I am a bit irked that you have this odd mushroom in the avatar itself as well as the scroll. Maybe a better backdrop might have worked. Still, it's nice.

He was beautiful. She wanted every inch of his body. She craved to taste him.
He said he wanted her. He told her pretty lies. He begged to lay with her. Secretly, he wanted to fell the beast inside. He had the charms and weapons prepared, blessed by the light of the priestesses. He was ready to kill her. She was oblivious and in love.
But the beast wasn't.

This avatar is, what I have to say, a bit way too simple, even from you. It has a good sense of style, but everything else feels quite weak after looking through for some time. Not one of the best things that have been turned in, but it's pretty much a safe entry.

There were 7 models before 8 was built. 5 was one of the early models. Built with power in mind, the design was very rough. It was only during a practice run a month and a half after it's creation and it failed that it was decommissioned. Now, 5 is simply used as nothing more than a fighter to test out the newer models. However, watching newer models roll out can take a toll, and now that 8 had managed to find 5 and make a few modifications, the mole might just be living in the very machine Gamer Girl created.

Feedback: I can deal with using 2, maybe 3, items from 1 set, if used in a subtle and creative way, but you used 4 poses from the anima and 3 from the nano-c, and that makes up the majority of your avatar. That's neither subtle nor creative and that makes this a bad entry to me. The idea was good to be fair, but you have to understand that it's not even that hard to make a cyborg with different items. I just wish you'd executed it in a creative way.

Part of me feels as if the Anima item was used oh-so many times in this one that I could lose count. Alas, this mechanized mole of sorts gives off quite the menacing vibe. It's nicely done, especially given how far you've come.

Marwolfer:(click for larger version)
Sabina del Rico was born to the wealthiest family in the entire village. She lived in the lap of luxury up on top of a hill overlooking the village proper. At twenty-three years of age, she was certain of herself and knew what she wanted to be for the rest of her life: beautiful and rich. However, when she looked at her mother (once a great beauty), all she could see was the wrinkles and lines that would some day be her own face. She'd heard La Reina de la Muerte's story from a very young age as every child did in the village; it was a scary bedtime story parents and nannies used to keep the children in line. Sabina knew that the only way that she would be able to avoid the dim future of failing beauty would be to do what the legendary queen had once done. So every night, she besought the heavens to grant her this wish: immortality and eternal youth. Sabina had little care as to who answered her prayer: god or demon did not matter as long as she got her wish.

Feedback: I think this is such a step back which is very frustrating. The idea behind it is pretty good, not particularly imaginative, but the delivery is just not cohesive. The dress shape, combined with the size of the shoes compared to the hat, create this really, really awkward uncomfortable stance and overall shape. However, I think the eyes portray what you were trying to portray perfectly, so it's not all bad.

"Two years away with Master Shikyo, and I come back to find this? Gamer Girl? Please! Absolutely ridiculous," Little Sister muttered, throwing her stolen newspaper down and fingering the grip of her knife. The headline had read "GAMER GIRL STRIKES THE BARON," and this just simple irritated her. Still, a small, vicious smile crept over her lips as she thought of all the 'fun times' she had and could have, before quickly changed her mind about the article in the paper. "Looks like it's time visit my lovely, dorky, big sister. See if she is still so obsessed over her stupid little science projects. One big family reunion."

Feedback: I enjoy the concept of this far more than the execution. I'm not matching nazi, but the different shades of red right next to each other look like failed matching and make it really unappealing to me. If you'd gone for a more non-matching approach, and used different colours, this would be so much better and that non-matching colour scheme would enhance the theme more as well. The face is also kind of bothersome. You talk about a smile but you used these pouty pink lips that contradict your theme and the eyes are completely dead. However, I like the japanese anime vibe that I get from the pistolera and the weapons.

He was taunted and ridiculed for the way he looked growing up. No one loved him after the additions. He seeks to destroy humanity for the hurt they have caused him. This included that cyborg girl that that doctor kept as his pet. She never played with him when he was recovering from the surgeries.

Kiddo Seanchain:

Taylor struggled futility against the magical wards that held him in place. His own magic wasn't nearly sufficient to break free and eventually Seanchain would return to her base, find an intruder... and that'd be that. Death would need a new mortal champion. Hopefully Seanchain would make his death fast, if he were lucky. He cursed his carelessness and studied his surroundings, hoping to see some means of escape. There. In the corner of the rafters – a glint of white. He wasn't alone.

The woman – or perhaps girl, he thought – flipped down from the ceiling, landing heavily on the cement floor just a yard away. She moved with an unnatural grace, an ease that spoke of a lifetime of training - she was dangerous, no doubt, underneath that disarming exterior. The two studied each other, a calculating look in her eyes. Taylor decided he didn't like that look.

“Here's the deal,” she said, “I get you free. You help me bring down Seanchain.”

“Deal,” Taylor replied without hesitation, not wanting to question his good fortune, “But who are you?”

And her return smile was distinctively malicious. What devil had he just bargained with? “I'm a former apprentice,” she said, “Seanchain tried to kill me and thinks me dead. I intend to return the favor. Now, let's see to these wards...”

Feedback: My main problem is that this doesn't look at all like a villain, but I wasn't sure how much I wanted to penalise you for, for that fact. It's not a bad avatar, it's pretty cool. I like the head, but visually, the fact that you have a very simple head and minimalistic feet/shins compared to a heavily and somewhat messily layered torso, it's not very appealing. The face is sort of blank as well. I get that it's a wannabe villain, but your story made her sounds so much more cheeky and evil and caniving, and I see none of that in this avatar.

The beast was an addiction.
Before her were countless women, all young for as long as the beast was with them. Most were dead, but one still craved the youth and beauty. She still needed the power and magic she no longer had. And she'd do anything to get it back.

La Reina de la Muerte barely escaped from the priestess with her life. All of her riches and treasures had been melted in the heat of the fire spells used against her, but the immortal queen had managed to escape into the forest. She had to keep to the shadows, but even as such she managed to hear rumors about a mystical device supposedly kept by the chief that granted one wish to the owner. The townspeople, assuming their terror was dead, were so thankful that they threw giant masquerade ball. Knowing that the chief would be there and hopeful for the rumor to be true, La Reina de la Muerte knew that she must take the chance to acquire this one item that could restore her youth... and help her escape from the priestess's clutches. So stealing the necessary garments and items for her disguise, La Reina de la Muerte attended the masked ball, shadowing the chief the entire night.

Feedback: This is by far my favourite entry of yours so far. It's cohesive and visually appealing - especially like the ribbon motif you've used - and I like the dark, macabre atmosphere the mask and the outfit overall create. Sure, the background isn't the most creative I've ever seen, but it does the job adequately. Also (this is a positive), the description wasn't necessary... not because it was poorly written or didn't make sense or whatever, but because I could see the situation and theme and whatever in the actual avatar without reading the description. Overall, I'm very pleased with this entry 3nodding

How better to fight the meddling fool?
Than to pull a real witch out with her tool.
Armed with a wand and dressed for the ball
I sent her in to give the clown a call.

At the masquerade where the clown will play
The witch will steal those juggling balls today.
Then I am free to toy with the stories
And she'll have nothing left of her former glory.

(In case it isn't clear enough...as it doesn't seem to be for some judges. YES, my villain pulls story book characters out from their stories. In this case she's using the Wicked Witch to steal the magic juggling balls that my hero uses to fix what my villain messes up in stories.)

The difference between this entry and the last entry that was pulled from a book is that the description in this, while entertaining, is also clear and concise and makes the pulling from the book clear. Visually, I'm a little underwhelmed, I think, mainly by the hat and hair that aren't visually appealing to me. The rest of the outfit, I really like. It's cohesive, flows nicely (aside from the sash) and just looks good.

How she felt so beautiful in those gowns. She remembered being young, dressing up and dancing with the boys. She missed feeling so elegant.
The beast would shame her for such thoughts, but it remained silent. It would come soon, though. She had mere hours until she reached the man she had come to meet. Hundreds of minutes until she could feel a hot body. Thousands upon thousands of seconds until the beast would have a fool to devour.
No man would try to rip her power away and succeed. Not even a viscount...

Feedback: The dress, or rather, the whole outfit itself is really nice. What I gather from the story, this character is essentially a trapped pawn of your villain's, who goes to entice men into captivity for the villain, and the outfit is a nice reflection of this characters confinement. The wraps and belted details and whatnot, are innovative in their symbolism of her situation. However, I am completely let down by the head and the face. There's hardly any expression on the face and the hair is really informal and as far from seductive as you can. I'm not saying I want a super detailed hat and all that crap, but an expression in the face that either expressed the job this character has to do, or how disdain for doing it, paired with a more elegant hairstyle would've done wonders for me.

Ah. A ball, is it? This is the perfect chance to get a few things done. I myself will not be attending, no. My man Arroyo is perfect for the job. Especially considering what I'm after. The Lord's wife is the one that holds the real power in this kingdom, and there's a man in this kingdom who knows everything about her. Some say blackmail is above those who use magic, but branching out was never a bad thing, was it? All I'm sending him with is a bribe. A certain rare potion and an enchanted pocketwatch. Child's play, really. Little does the poor sap know that the potion in question has a bit of an extra kick to it... The "esteemed" Lady might even thank me for that little addition.

Kiddo Seanchain:

The wonderful thing about having two lifetimes to live is that Seanchain had plenty of time to amass a multitude of experience, contacts, fake identities, and of course: clothing. Certainly, the dress was a bit dated in some ways, but this was a high society ball and eccentricity was expected. Seanchain could certainly deliver that. While there was nothing to be done about her pale once-dead skin and dull eyes or the tattoos, there were always wigs. And makeup. And lies.

"Me?" she purred demurely, batting her eyes at the baron, "I'm a tattoo artist. Quite exclusive. I've based my own artwork off a Mongolian text about death rituals. Oh, you have the original of that book!? My, what a coincidence! Well, you simply can't tell me that and not let me see it, can you? Shall we take our leave to your private art collection..?"

"I know, it hurts Mommy too, but it has to be this way. I'll call if I need you though, so be good," she said, before placing a kiss on Hands' cold metal, and turning to leave. It was a risk, but it had to be taken. No technology, leaving her precious creations back at home, Gamer Girl went it alone to meet the Baron. She only had the set of poisons she had engineered tucked away safely and nothing else.
Bribe to get in, check. Blend into the party guests, check. Get close to the Baron, check. Half way through the party, and only two hiccups (one in the bathroom with a woman commenting on that 'crazy tech chick' and the other with a butler that thought he recognized her), but the blond charms and the mass amounts of booze the Baron was consuming seemed to be working in her favor. Real luck was struck when the night grew late and the Baron moved to drink alone.
"Mr. Baron is all alone? Care if I join?"
"For you, my dear-" hiccup "-anythin'."
"Anything?" she asked, moving into his lap. Her hand slid around the bottle that he held, and with a quick jerk, loud smash, and sharp broken glass against the throat, she had the upper hand. "Well, I'll be needing the key to your big, fancy nuclear reactor, if you don't mind."
His big, glassy eyes went wide with fear, before narrowing. "You can't kill me."
The other hand was just as quick as the other to pull a needle filled with poison and position it millimeters from his neck. "I can't? Funny, I thought I could. But I'll give you a choice. Give me the key or I kill you with this bottle and let you die slowly, Mr. Baron."
His hand shook slightly as he reached for the chain around his neck and slid the key off, before handing it over. She grabbed it and stuffed it away out of sight, before sticking the needle in his neck. Again, his eyes went wide, but all she did was smile. "Thank you," was all she murmured as she slid off his lap and left the room, locking the doors quietly behind her.

I really don't understand why you used it... and the outfit itself looks more like a waitress to me, which wouldn't blend in if she was supposedly masquerading as an attendee.

The local people were sick of the oppression of La Reina de la Muerte. They wanted to keep their gold, their lives, and their sanity. At the behest of the people, their leader wrote a last ditch letter to a secret organization for help. No one expected a reply, but their hopeful prayers were answered a week later when a stranger walked into town: a priestess of the Order of the Ósea. They were wanderers, traveling to places that needed their guidance and help. The Order was known for it's use of skulls and fire. This priestess was like the rumors had foretold: silent because of a mandatory vow of silence, mysterious, and powerful. The townsfolk gathered as she neared the cave of La Reina de la Muerte and held their breath as she disappeared into the darkness...

The Head Mage told me today that a new hero had arrived in the city to deal with our little wannabe warlock 'threat'. I asked him why we needed new blood to take care of the issue when we were doing just fine on our own. Turns out the local baron doesn't have much confidence in us after all. The man he hired is known as 'Journeyman'. That's it. His name's as much of a mystery to himself as it is to us, apparently. He's a seer. I thought that the seers had gone all but extinct when they moved across the continent and into the caves travellers call the 'Howling Abyss' hundreds of years ago.

Instead of perishing, they thrived. And when I say thrived, I mean evolved. From what this Journeyman's said, they're all blind. Using spirits to guide them safely negates the need to physically see, and ages in the darkest cave system this side of Orion's Valley can't be good for the eyes either.

No soul should be lost to the Beast on its way to the afterlife. No witch should be granted the taste of flesh. No being held more power than the light, the light she would use to vanquish the evil.

My name is FeminMan

When Madame and I were still in highschool we were, well... lovers.
He was my everything, my honeypie, my sugarplum, my studmuffin.
Until he began to change... He slowly turned into a cranky little monster.
I knew something was wrong, something wasn't right.

A few weeks later we broke up, Madame told me he never wanted to see me again.
I was crushed. I thought love was just a lie...
A few years after that unfortunate event I was hit by lightning.
It was a true miracle that I survived that day, but even more miraculous were the new powers I've had gained.

I now have the power to walk over the clouds, manipulate them and use them in my advantage.
I use these powers to retore all love in the world and fight for equality.

Kiddo Seanchain:

It wasn't that Taylor found his day job boring – it's just that his after-hours work was so much more exciting. Certainly, doing autopsies for the city police had a certain amount of macabre glamor to it, but in the end – be it by drowning or shooting or automobile – a corpse was a corpse. Now the ones that got up after they'd been brought down... those were a different story.

Death called them runners. People that by means magical or otherwise sought to escape him and prolong their lives. And Death being, well, Death, he was tremendously busy and simply didn't have the time to chase everyone. That's where Taylor came in. And he loved it. A bit of magic, a bit of an unregistered gun, and a whole lot of precise anatomical knowledge and some fine-bladed knives had helped him bring down the most determined and dangerous of runners.

But this Seanchain... this might be different. He'd seen a number of bodies come through because of her and Death was worried. Not much worried Death. Still, he had to try and bring her down and stop whatever it was she was plotting, or else die trying. It wouldn't be so bad if that happened – at least he was on good terms with the reaper.

Feedback: This is tough because I loved your first round entry so much and I think you ruined it with this. The avatar base is great and I like the attire you gave him, but the visual appeal was kinda ruined for me by the layering of the hood and the horns. You scored highly on theme because it was clear to me what you were going for, and you rightly assumed you didn't need a description to enhance it, but the background is cluttered and messy and puts me off a lot. I do like the folk-tale vibe it has, but you let yourself down by concentrating so much on theme and disregarding visual appeal too much.

Feedback: My first impression convinced me this entry was better than it actually is because as a stand-alone avatar, it's not at all bad, in fact I really like it, but your entry last round and your description were very detrimental to your score. Your means of acquiring the money are creative - selling bodies - so you scored well there, but your score for theme is as low as it is because I'm really confused by the gaps you left. How do you get the bodies? Are you digging them up, grave-robbing, or are you killing people and selling their bodies, and if it's the latter, how is that stealing? Also, what kind of factory buys dead bodies? There's just not enough clarity for me. While visually, your avatar is quite appealing, I'm put off by the lack of consistency. Your entry for the first round was cutesy and pretty, but then the contrast of the robotics and the poison made it really creepy and evil. The outfit this round is so scarce and a bit slutty. It's not, to me, the same personality, and since you didn't justify that or explain it, I had to dock points.

La Reina de la Muerte never had need of going out and finding fine frippery for herself. She was robbing the locals by simply scaring them into providing tribute to her. The cave she inhabits overflows with fine furs, silks, wines, and most importantly gold. If their peace offerings appease this restless immortal, their lives are spared. If not... well, she will rob them of more than their possessions: she takes their peace of mind and even some of their lives.

Feedback: I'm a bit conflicted with this avatar. It's interesting to look it and I really like the whimsicality of it but I'm a little bit confused by the story - I don't understand how it's stealing if they're giving her the money... even if it is because they're scared. Visually, the avatar is very nice, which is probably the strongest aspect of the avatar. It's very detailed and richly coloured which enhances the wealthy theme but I don't think it has the clarity it needed to score higher on theme. It looks good, but to me it just looked like a skeleton in a tomb. There's no evil personality here and it relies entirely on the story to explain how you robbed those riches, and as I said before, that's not even that clear in the story itself. So, overall, I'm really conflicted with the entry. I like it visually, but I don't think it achieves what you intended or what the round required so I'm caught between priorities.

Ramona Razor:

After planting a mind-control chip on one guard and knocking out and stealing another guard's uniform, it was a piece of cake. "First day here?" "Oh, yes. I'm just a little nervous." "You'll be fine." Slip past the tellers by acting coy, telling the control guard what to do, where to bring her, there was only one obstacle left; the vault. The only question was to do it the fun, messy way or the easy, boring way? It took a matter of seconds to decide that. Hooking up the hand drill and finding the weak point of the lock itself, the fun, messy way was definitely the way to go about it. She broke through the door, disabled any and all alarms, and then proceeded to load up on as much of the green stuff as possible. "A tip for helping me out, big boy. Oh, and help yourself to what's left," she said, as she stuffed a fist full of money down the front of his pants. Making a small exit for herself with the carefully packed C4 bomb, it was an easy escape for Gamer Girl as well. "Hm, what to buy first? A girl can never go wrong with a good shopping spree."

It was Alerio's first- and last- day on the job as treasury guard. After a valiant struggle, he was cornered by the odd tendrils that had ripped through his regular, human colleagues. Possessing no fire spells, and his other magics having no effect on dark spells of this magnitude, he gathered any remaining strength and fired one last arcane blade at the attacker, catching the warlock's lackeys from behind. He blacked out before he even saw his final spell's effect.

Feedback: I really like this avatar. The character and personality of the dude is so strong, and the outfit is visually appealing. Like Vee's, it's interestingly dynamic in it's expression and pose. The background could afford to be a bit more unique but it does it's job in that it shows what the villain is stealing and technically doing any more to it is unnecessary. The methods your villain is using to do the stealing is unclear in the avatar itself so it relies on the story to explain that, and while that it slightly detrimental, you make up for it with the rest of the avatar and a clear, precise description.

Maybe I'm a little swayed because I'm familiar with your style, but I would've been able to justify my score. The style was very 'sexy'; I got what you were going for. And while the face could've used same major improvements and the avatar itself could've been presented as more evil, it wasn't a bad entry. That out the way, your entry this round is a massive improvement. The 'sexiness' has been amped up, it's far more evil and the character is just a lot stronger. I'm not going to say it's incredible because it's not, but it's a good, solid entry and pretty much every aspect is of a good standard. Her means of stealing are kind of ambiguous but I like that about this entry - the mystery adds to her evil 'sexiness'. The story is a nice, informative addition.

The problem I have with this is that it's not at all clear what you were going for and I had to make my own tenuous interpretation of your theme. Here's what I think it is: Your villain conjures seemingly 'good' characters from books that steal from the owner of said books and bring the riches to you? If that's what it is, then you needed to make that clearer, and if it's not then... you needed to make what you were going for clearer.

Kiddo Seanchain:

Seanchain studied the squalid basement with no small measure of disgust. She had spent so much of her resources - both magical and mundane – to find this place and now here she stood with dust coating her gloves and hair and not a single whiff of the occult to be found. Books lay in a heap at her feet, overturned in increasing carelessness until the nearby shelves lay barren. It had to be here. It had to. The owner of the manor was rich, powerful, and rumored to have connections to the arcane powers in the world – and the last known owner of a particular tome Seanchain was most interested in. She should have been able to waltz in, take the book, and waltz out. Instead, she stood here frustrated and empty-handed, wondering if she should just start sticking dynamite in random chinks in the basement walls and see if there wasn't a secret vault somewhere. With the book. And riches. Wouldn't that be enough to make up this disaster of an excursion?

To make matters worse, she'd ran into the owner of the manor on her way in, and had... erred... in her reaction. If she had known the book would be this hard to find she wouldn’t have done something so... permanent.

In retrospect, Seanchain supposed she should have learned the reversal for that particular transformation spell. Ah, hindsight.

“Well, let's see if we can turn this from a complete loss,” she murmured, picking up the rat at her feet by its tail, “I think a thorough investigation of your priceless arts gallery is in order, don't you? And after that... let's find a cat.”

There he was. Perhaps, in that day he was the true villain, and I a hero of sorts who liberated a people from that wizard's tyranny. I choose to see, regardless of my action, that day was the beginning of a new and greater tyranny.

He was a wizard of dark arts using his power for monetary gain, and some force deep with in me told me I needed to relinquish that power from him and put it to a greater cause, the destruction of my oppressors.

I understand that a burlesque outfit is going to be quite revealing, but even giving the impression that just the feet have the same intricacy, and making a headpiece with a lot of detail, would've worked a lot better. Visual appeal aside, I was a little confused as to how this relates to the round. I understand that this is how your villain makes their money, but it's not stealing...

No one can be named a villain without an attribution of oppression. I am of the oppressed. It is in that way that I've been named a villain, but my story starts in the beginning of my escape from the narrow caverns where I was forced to mine as a slave. I never knew of this oppression, and I can't say how I was able to become conscious of its presence. All I knew was that I needed to remove this metallic contraption from my face, no matter the cost. For I knew that this thing was attempting to tame me. I ripped it from my flesh as it pulled out my eyes. Perhaps it is symbolic of my nature, I saved one eye and lost another, as I saved half my soul and lost the other. Because it was in that day I knew everyone needed to feel my pain no matter who they were. I'd have my revenge and open others to the all knowing truth of self sacrifice, or kill them should they deny themselves the awakening.

They tied me up for your protection
My job to entertain with rhyme
I twisted words and told morbid tales
That wasn't any crime.

I escape beyond perception
As they sit and scratch their head.
Now I'll bring my tales to life
And laugh at all the dead.

I'll keep the jacket and painted smile
You'll wonder how it's done.
Am I really the mastermind
Or a freak claiming number one?

She had been a witch, a monster. Too old to do anything but become a legend. And when she met the Beast she gave it her everything and it returned the favor. Death and sex had become magic to her. With the eyes of the Beast she could seduce. With her own body, awakened she could please then kill. And with a willful touch she could bring a body, cold and empty, back to life.

With every touch her beauty returned. She sapped at the life of her pet, until it crumbled. Over and over again she found her youth in the death of those too beautiful for her to ignore, those too weak to withstand her spell. Death and sex had become her everything.

Ramona Razor:
It started out like any other pass time. Tinkering here and there, playing games and maxing out as fast as possible, building and creating her own small toy robots at the age of six. Of course, the more she dug in and learned, the more it became an obsession. Now a days, it's an all out craze, a desire to build that cannot be quenched easily. And to create, one must first destroy. Her smaller toys may go to the highest bidders, but that is only to feed the need for the materials, the tools, and many creations. In the end, what Gamer Girl wants, Gamer Girl gets. With a little assistance from her Helping Hands, she's just gearing up for her biggest game ever. It's time for her brainchildren to have some fun.

Kiddo Seanchain:

Roughly ten years ago, Seanchain died. When Death came to claim her soul she challenged him to the traditional game of chess - and ended it in a stalemate. Somewhat amused, Death gave her a second lifetime and promised he'd be back at the end of that one and this time, there would be no traditional challenge, no chess game, no stalemate. Two lifetimes was enough. Seanchain does not agree. She now turns to the dark knowledge of the world, collecting resources and information that will allow her to avoid her second and final end. She has tattooed ancient runes on her corpse-white skin. She has bound a henchwoman to herself using terrible arts to ensure that she can never be betrayed. She carries a scythe so that she can practice for her new role... for to overcome Death, Seanchain intends to summon, kill, and take his place. She will use any means necessary to accomplish this.

Making enough money to buy a small country would be pretty spiffy too though.

Villain Archetype: Walking Corpse
She was once the most beautiful queen in all the lands. No one could stop her power! She ruled with a ruthless, cruel, and cunning hand. One night, she had a close call with an assassin. Realizing her own mortality, she went on a search for everlasting life. She had heard rumors of a demon living in the caves just outside of town, so she went off to find out for herself if the rumors were true. Deep in the cave she found him, hunched and withered in rags. She drew out her blade and demanded that the demon make her immortal or forfeit his own life. The demon did as he was bade, awed over this young woman's gall. He muttered a spell, and the queen felt her whole body go warm. Bravely, she plunged the dagger into her heart. The pain was intense, but she did not die. Happily, she traipsed off to live her long life. But the demon was furious at being ripped off so he stole into the castle while the queen slept and cast another spell on her, one that made her age more quickly. When the queen awoke she was already twenty years older, and within the week she had aged beyond recognition. Yet still she lived. Finally disgusted with herself, she disappeared in the night to live in the caves that the demon once inhabited. Since then there have been unexplained murders with no clues or evidence of how they came to be. The only thing everyone agreed on was a name that they dared not speak aloud... La Reina de la Muerte.

This is it. The final level of the game, and the Big Bad Boss is waiting for you at the end. There's just one problem - 8-Bit Boy. This henchmen is at least five levels above you, no matter where you are in the game. Not only is he big, but he's quick too, very light on his feet and moves around the room out of range every time you think you've got him cornered. Hours go by and all you have succeeded in doing is throwing the controller across the room eight times, leaving two dents in the wall, cursed enough to make a sailor blush, and lost each one of your lives to 8-Bit Boy.

Rulers have advisers, rock stars have roadies, and I... have Patchwerk. Old Patch is a former musician, lead singer for the band Screaming Pitch. His fans all thought he'd sold his soul for rock and roll, and they were right. In a way. When I caught up to him I was quick to find out that he was a minor demon using music as a means for experimenting with mind control, just as I was using the whole "radio signal hijacking" method. Obviously, I confronted him about it and demanded to know his secrets. A short scuffle later, we figured out that teaming up would be the best option for both of us, and so we did. Two brains are better than one, after all.

So go on, go get to know her. Talk. She won't talk back of course, but does she really need to? She just needs to sit there and look pretty and smile. She'll smile at you all you want, even once the poisoned knife slips between your ribs and you're dying with fire in your veins. She'll keep smiling to the end and not say a word.

You can't pull off a scam without suckers. And let's face it, my lack of a certain facial feature doesn't make me much of a charmer. That's where my twin sister Nova comes in. I've always had the brains and brawn, but Nova's got the beauty, and a talent for wrapping the slow-witted masses around her little finger. There's a silver-tongued devil hiding behind that pretty face of hers, and by the time she's done batting her lashes at another drooling fool she's lured into playing my games, I've already robbed them blind. And if the big gorilla gets in the way of us making off with his loot, she's not above putting one of her stiletto heels through his eye. They don't come much more loyal than my sister.
