i like this idea. Plus the character designs and descriptions sound awesome. If it were a cartoon or comic, i'd watch/read it.

Thanks! Though I think that might be because it was heavily influenced and inspired by an existing cartoon.

Also - when he calls on the different spirits, should he call the name or something?

theshadowranger In reply to Whothehellisthat [2009-02-05 12:47:48 +0000 UTC]
It's both:
For Vamp, he gets bat wings and can turn into bats, but Vamp himself also appears as a spirit behind him when he's using his powers like blending into darkness and super speed.
For victor, Steve doesn't increase in size or gets bigger arms, but he gets a harder body and more mass/weight.
For Tamis, the wraps are real, so he can use them on anything.
For Lobo, Steve's nails become claws, and he gets those little fang things.
So he doesn't really get major changes physically.

Ok... I was just thinking of how to show to the reader that he's using the different spirit's powers...
We could have those small physical changes as you mentioned, but also show an wispy outline of the spirit surrounding Steve.
If you don't understand, I could do a quick sketch of how I envision it.

I was thinking more like this [link]
It's an old reference, but the way the spirits appear behind/next to steve as he's using their abilities is how I see it usually.

Whothehellisthat In reply to theshadowranger [2009-02-05 16:37:57 +0000 UTC]
Ah... ok.
So that's how you want to show them, but the actual characters etc. should be the new ref?
That's fine. I'll do that, then.
So... for Kid, who can't see them, what does he see?

theshadowranger In reply to Whothehellisthat [2009-02-05 16:45:56 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, same method, different designs.
Well, kid would see Steve doing whatever he is doing. He'll see the physical differences and the ability effect, like the bats, wings, sonic blast, wraps, etc... but not the spirits themselves.

Sounds good... Might want to send a Note round to everyone about this to everyone... (the method, and what Kid sees).
I've sent round part 4 now.

Awesome! Looking forward to working with you, man...
So do the ghosty guys float around him in tiny form, chibi style most of the time? (in the usual anime style)

theshadowranger In reply to Whothehellisthat [2009-01-03 14:22:59 +0000 UTC]
Depends on the situation. Maybe sometimes it's just their heads, upper body, or the whole thing. Chibi, serious, etc...

Great character - Welcome to the war!
Quick question - How do his powers work visually? Does he change to look like the spirits when he uses their powers, or do they appear beside him, or what? Are all four visable at once, or just th one he's channelling? And finally - can other people see them, or just him?
OK, that was more than one quick question, wasn't it....

Thanks!
Well, the personality of each spirit rubs off on him, affecting his posture, so when he's using Vamp, he stands straight, and his eyes are red. With Lobo, he almost always has one hand on the ground in a wild type stance, and yellow eyes. With Victor, he gets a Hulk-ish pose with white eyes. With Tamis he gets a lazy relaxed pose with brown eyes.
The spirits appear above/next to, or wherever indicates the current spirit, often mimicking Steve's movements.
As for visibility, a person with high mental/spiritual powers or special equipment would see them all there, but from the reader's point of view, the current spirit in use, or whoever is talking, would be visible. Everybody is always there.
So, basically, most contestants should be able to.

A little bit, but not as much as a real vampire would burn. That's why his body is fully covered.
