I posted this on OI, but I have no idea what to actually call the title...

Dunno how many of you know this, but I actually have a Neopets fanfiction in the works. I'll get to the details later, but it's all coming along nicely.

Have some concept art (as depicted by my best friend)! I'll explain it all later.

Why am I doing this? I dunno, I guess I just wanted help thinking of stuff, so I'm turning to you guys, I guess.

Also, those who don't help me constructivly (I.e, post things like "LULZ NEOPETZ SUX") will be Shoop'd and Woop'd.

Thank you! Anyway:


-First picture is of the main character...a red Shoyru named Vajra (the pictures have no color...yet). What's that sword he's got, you ask? Simple-he and his three friends each have a sacred sword that cannot harm those with good hearts, but devistates those with evil hearts. Vajra's sword, named Villianbreaker, is the most powerful. Against TRULY evil beings, it utterly destroys their body, mind, and soul with a beam of light (alongside Vajra jumping high into the air and screaming "VILLIANBREAKER!"), effectively making it a finishing blow for dark beings. It normally has no elemental powers, but because of the immense destruction it deals to dark and evil characters, it's got Light/Holy powers.


-Now, don't get your hopes up for seeing the main villian yet, since...this isn't him. This IS, however, one of his two highest-ranking minions. Meet Tremble, a hulking mass of demonic flesh and muscle. He and his partner/best friend have a pun in their names-see if you can guess it! By the way, look at the blunt side of Tremble's warhammer...see that odd symbol? That's the villian's trademark symbol/mark/crest...if this were a movie, you'd see it a lot!


-You'd think that the villian, knowing how powerful Tremble is physically, would back his strength up with more strong minions. This, however, is not the case. No, Tremble's partner-in-crime is another demon...much frailer, but much more magically adept. I am, of course, talking about Basstion, a demon with a penchant for all things mystic and magic. Inspired by Trickmaster from the Kingdom Hearts series, Basstion can cast devistating spells that could wipe out a metropolis-size city, while Tremble can't even launch a single fireball from his chubby fingers (which, considering they're demons, and thus supernatural creatures, is quite odd). If you haven't guessed the puns in either minion's name, you'll most certainly understand them once you see the villian.


-Before Vajra and his friends even start their adventure, they are humans attending a party on the beach...on Earth, of course (Planet Neopia is actually in the Milky Way galaxy in the fanfiction, but hasn't been spotted by astronomers for...unknown reasons.) Anyway, the first friend to be reunited with Vajra (who originally is named "Andrew"...which is MY real name!) is Kiki, a yellow Acara who can command the power of electricity. Though she herself (who as a human was known as Ashley) has not been drawn yet, her sword definitely is! This jagged blade is Excaliblur, a sword that allows Kiki to move at lightning-fast speeds (get it? Excalibur, but with an extra "L" to make "blur"? Oh, I'm SOOOOO funny >_>)


-Just like Kiki, the green Aisha Lerioi (pronounced "leer-ee-oh-ee", and human-named Sara) has not been drawn yet, but her sword has. Whereas Excaliblur is a electrical blade, Lerioi wields Dual Dueller, an icy sword with a split blade to match her extra set of antennea-like ears. As might be expected from someone weilding an ice sword, Lerioi can use it to freeze monsters and enemies in place, then take a good swing at them with the actual blade.


-No, the blue Scorchio Draco (human-name Joshua) has not yet been drawn. Yes, his fiery sword Blaze Blade HAS been drawn, as seen here. Not only can it give enemies the proverbial hot foot (LULZ), but it amplifies Draco's firebreath to intense levels of heat and pain!

Now, I'll bet that ever since I posted Tremble's picture, you've been DYING to know who the main villian is (that is, if you're still willing to help me! >_>). But before I show the picture, I want those of you who think it's the nefarious Dr. Sloth (the evil scientist from the official Neopets site) to know this...he IS in the fanfiction, but...he's not the main villian! This guy is:



It's Malestro! He's a demon lord with an affinity for music-based attacks (NOW do you get the puns in Tremble and Basstion's names? If not, post here, and I'll tell you all). Quite possibly the evilest character for ANYthing I've ever thought up...he...

*scribblescribblescribble*

...and that's just ONE reason Malestro is easily hateable!
Continuing...
Tiffany
Mario has Princess Peach. Sonic the Hedgehog has Amy Rose. Homestar Runner has Marzipan. If you've already noticed that in all of these examples that the second name is the female love interest of the male first name, it should be no surprise that Tiffany is Vajra's girlfriend. However, she's easily distinguished from the hero by four things:
  • First off, while Vajra has red scales and skin, Tiffany has a bright sky-blue body.
  • Second, her eyelashes are larger and more promenent. Not by TOO much, however, just enough to let others know she's female.
  • Third, she wears a generic pink hairbow on the horn on her head.
  • Finally, whereas Vajra is sixteen (16) years old, Tiffany is only thirteen (13).
Like Sonic and Amy, Vajra DOES love Tiffany, who shows him much gratitude for helping her out with some school bullies from when they first met...which is actually quite surprising, considering it was on Earth and not Neopia (why she's on Earth, you'll have to wait and see)! Sometimes, though, he feels too busy for her, just like how Sonic thinks that Amy gets in his way of doing his own thing. UNLIKE the hedgehog duo, however, it's not shown as a one-way relationship over half the time, and the two of them spend quite a bit of time together.
Because Tiffany is not one of the Chosen Four, she has no sword, and thus no powers...at least, no elemental powers. She DOES have a special ability, but it's more passive and she can't control it: If you've ever played Dragon Quest 8 for the Playstation 2, you'll know that the third main character, named Jessica, has a skill set known as "Sex Appeal", based entirely on her curvacious and beautiful body. While Tiffany has no apparent...yeah...she's so cute and innocent-looking (and actually, she ACTS naive and innocent half the time!) that some of Malestro's cronies (NOT Tremble and Basstion) can't help but turn their heads. Tiffany calls this her "Charm", and can walk up to baddies and force them to pay attention and gawk at her. However, as previously mentioned, and unlike DQ8's Jessica, the blue Shoyru girl cannot control how much Charm she radiates.
and the last part:
Have four moar pictures, with another two minor character bios still left to do...



-Malestro's Fortress! Those music-note shaped objects are actually airships, patrolling the skies around his massive castle (this is also the one picture I did NOT crop at all).


-Friend's interpretation of Kiki. A little lopsided on the proportions, but otherwise decent, wouldn't you think?


-Friend's interpretation of Lerioi. If you've looked at an average Aisha, you'll notice their collar has a golden "A" for a tag. Obviously, Lerioi's is an "L" however.


-Finally, though drawn with a slightly larger head (maybe she's supposed to be chibified?) than I was hoping for, we have Tiffany's picture.
PLEASE, COMMENT! I NEED HELP WITH THIS!

...please?
