Soon after I began Bubble Bucket it came to mind that I wanted to do another quest in which I spent more time on the panels, so it was a high quality drawing in which I am capable of when I care to. It wouldn’t be as strict and rules/mechanics based like Bubble Bucket is and would then be following the Rule of Cool.

I don’t want to actually begin this until Bubble Bucket reaches its conclusion, so I won’t. I do however want to begin working on it early so I can get enough planned so I’m not scrambling to prepare after my first completed quest.

Instead of beginning the quest with a large series of questions about the character, I’m going to allow tgchan to help me build the main character before it begins at all. Giving me time to take the rough molded character from my players/audience and create a final product. I don’t like the idea of just throwing together a new character on the fly and trying to run with it, but at the same time I know a good portion of /quest/ loves to have a hand in the spark of life of the Protagonist(s).

I will spoil early that any really good ideas from the Genesis stage will possibly be written and drawn into the quest as it goes further down the line.

First Step: Voting on a major race from my Brackets world for the main character(s). (Note: Only vote on the main race, all information after the colons is simply to provide a good idea what you will be voting on next).

Bubble Touched/Dragons: Mostly live in the Rainbow Islands, over a dozen clans, and 6 base colors and abilities. Considered the most human/normal race on the planet.

Furry: A good portion of the continents of Mingxia and Amaranton. Varied degrees of animal humanoids, from almost entirely human to so animal it hurts.

Monster: Feys and atrocities are the most physically diverse group. Monster sub-races vary from the obscenely beautiful to the incredibly horrifying.

Robots: Artificially sentient metal and synthetic friends. Sub-races go from Junk robots to Bioandroids. Robots are fun for the whole family.

Undead: In the Brackets universe, they don’t suffer from the usual weaknesses that you would expect. And since the undead choices are a lot different and I don’t do vampires, I’ll include the types available: Ghoul, Skeleton, Shadow, Wraith, and Puppet.

And there we have it. Humans are not available choices. I’m starting the vote now, and will tally up the votes and go to the next step in a couple of days. If there’s a tie, I’ll choose for myself/flip a coin.

Round 2 is over.

Winner is Abnormal

Round 3 Part A Begins.

Describe, draw, or post a monster. Make sure it's only weird enough to draw a mild to medium reaction from people. They look odd, but not enough to restrict social interactions to a crippling point like atrocities do.

I will select my favorite 2-4 choices and have you guys vote on them. Remember, I have to draw it, so I really don't want to draw something I have no interest in.

I will have to disqualify anything that technically fits under another race, like the undead choices, or dragons being off limits.

A final note: The main character will be female, so we're not voting on gender.

Pictured.

OR:

Imagine a human figure. No features, not even fingers or toes, no face. Not even ears. Like someone put a layer of skin over an artist's posedoll.

Now, put eyes on its shoulders, facing forward. Mouths on the palms of the hands and the arch of the feet, with super-long frogtongues. ears on elbows, knees, and sides of the belly. Nostrils on forearms. The hands curl up bonelessly, so there's little need for opposable thumbs, in fact, the arms are mostly boneless. The whole ensemble would be somewhat unnerving... but at the same time, easy to disguise, if you use cloth that breathes a lot.

4509

Round 3 A is over. I will begin Round 3 B tonight.

I know it may seem out of chronological order, but I don’t think it causes too many problems to give people more to do and think about.

Round 4

For round 4 we are going to do parts A and B at the same time to save time.

A: Refer to the picture.

The Mask she wears. In the Brackets universe the Seven Key Emotions are represented by the masks shown on the left. We’ll start with the Top and Center one and go clockwise. This mask will represent one of her main emotions/attitudes, one of her biggest vices, and likely also one of her abilities. I won’t go completely in depth because I wouldn’t want to completely spoil everything this choice means (even if it would give you a better understanding about what you are picking).

The mask is a vote. Pick one. If you pick two your vote will be split in half, if you pick more than two I will ignore it.

Calm: + The balanced emotion. Cool and collected in times of extremes. – Apathy. Being too calm can leave you distant and make you seem cold to others.
Sad: + Expecting the worst. Always venting your negative emotions out, never allowing them to bottle up. – Being the downer all the time can push people away. Too often they are focusing on sorrow and the bad.
Shy + Keeping away, and to yourself can give you a tactical advantage. They are very alert to the people and places around them. – Very distant, harder to get close to people. Tend to be afraid of things you aren’t completely opened up to yet.
Pain + High tolerance to pain, high stamina, less weathered to extreme conditions. – Pain. They go through a lot physically and mentally, and can’t seem to let go. Cold is thought to be the most negative feeling.
Love + Very energetic, and friendly. Being both warm and affectionate, they are attractive socially. – Too trusting and ‘warm,’ on many occasions, and tend to fall into the trap of lust.
Anger + Passionate. They feel very strongly about what they believe in, and protect their beliefs, family, and friends at every opportunity. – Their Temper is nearly uncontrollable, and are easily drawn into unpleasant situations through their inability to control themselves.
Happy + Joyous. They are very nice, generous, and keep a smile on their face. They look at the positive side of things, and do their best to make everyone else share their smile. – Ignorance. Although they are very positive, their stubborn nature in their attempt to turn frowns upside down makes them ignore things that could cause themselves, or others harm.

B: Name.

Simply put. Suggest a name for her. I’m not making this one a vote because names are things of power, and important. I will select the name I feel that is most fitting, and beautiful.

One important factor: Two syllables.
There is a reason for this, but if I told you, you would be spoiling.

A: Happy

B: Mevi

I wouldn't say that, the top half is very normal normal looking and lets our adorable monster live in a normal society as long as she wears robes. I can imagine her making friends with people and even living in a city until something bad happens. Then after having to reveal itself it's horrific enough to make friends run off in terror and make townfolk grab pitchforks and torches. Then it would have to start all over again someplace else our poor misunderstood monster. Fits abnormal perfectly. Awww, now I want to play it.

This of course works with other similiar body types but I really like goaticle. >>314271

Although I personally don't see how you need to know a characters' appearance before deciding their personality (as it sort of goes against a few general sayings about people of all types), if it makes you feel better, I will be posting up the four or five monster bases to vote on before I tally votes for the 'mask'.

Out of all the ones I selected, I tried to pick the ones that got people vouching for them, and in terms of B and C, I took some liberties and will likely edit them further if they are picked to give them more unique qualities.

I didn't add hair, or details at all because that will go down later. These are the basic ideas, and I doodled them too fast and they look kinda bad. B looks the worst.

A. Imp: Ability to fly, lithe. The face (will) be rather hideous and unsettling as to oppose it being an evil fey.
B. Decomposer: Very slow. An elemental of sorts, and a joke spawned from a Deity of Death from the Lost Age.
C. Devourer: Aggressive, has three horns. Its sensory functions shift in abnormal places and manners. Can eat virtually anything. Its huge clunky tail is its largest maw.
D. Watcher: Appears extremely tall, usually keeps its eyes closed. Blessed by one of the avatars, and has the ability to see further without using its physical eyes.

After dinner, I will be closing the votes. Thank you all for participating.

Witch healer.

She's a witch healer who lives/lived alone in a town offering her services to people. Her obviously unnatural features tolerated only because of the lifes she saves and the good she does. Until she fails to save a life or reveals what she really is hiding underneath the robes (mayby to a friend who she had a crush on, who then promptly fled in terror), and then it's time to leave again as the townfolk burn the monsters home.

Hey, pay no mind. I'm just thinking why she would have this power and be so shy. Healer.

Seconding, with the proviso that she does it by sacrificing mass; pressing tentacles over the wound and severing them, whereupon they fuse in and copy the surrounding flesh.

I like the idea of spooktacular healing powers.

That works. Strikes sort of a happy, deliciously creepy medium between general "Witchcraft" and "Healing". It also could offer some very interesting possibilities for advancement in power later on. I'd like to reiterate my support for the concept of necromantic alchemy, but in this form.
