    God Powers/Story/Art thread

    This isn't as much about my art as it is about my character design and stories. Considering I'm a sucky artist and I think I'm a much better writer, I'm doing this thread hoping people enjoy what i got and thus will make me want to do more and get my artist to do more.

    God Powers is a comic a buddy and I have been slowly but surely been working on since high school, so roughly 5 years.

    The basic story is that it takes place in a semi-futuristic in another universe, and there are a few giant Metropolis Cities called Metropolis 1, Metropolis 2, etc. etc.
    There are 3 countries going at it.

    -The Peoples Republic of Versailles, which is a french like colony/country led by aristocratic ruler, Duke Hanri Laureate.
    -A sinister empire I have not yet named, which wants to control the other 2 and basically rule the world of course.
    -A third empire/country I haven't come up with anything about.

    The Metropolis Cities are labeled as freezones mainly used for trading. No country owns as they are much too crowded and packed with citizens. Certain areas of these Metropoli can be beautiful while others can be intimidating and shady.

    In the Metropolis cities gangs rule the slums, most gangs there contain at least 30 each. Gangs such as the A.C. Lords fight for power and turf. While gangs like the Danger Skulls fight just to survive. The Danger Skulls are unlike any other gang in Metropolis 2. There are only 3 members. Cool Rico, age 21, the leader of the Danger Skulls, is ****y and intelligent. Though that ****iness has gotten him into some tight situations. Slag, 24, is huge in size and people are often surprised at how intelligent he is, lastly there's Sludge, 13, and most people believe he is a mute. He's very quiet and is very curious. He never got to know his parents and Cool Rico and Slag are the only parents he has. The leather jacket he wears was worn by Cool Rico when him and Slag were given Sludge by a Debaser(more on this later, think robot) unit. The two have taken care of Sludge ever since then.

    What sets this gang apart besides the fact there are only 3 members is that they are one of the few gangs in which every member has what is called a, "God Power". A super human or "mutant" ability which is believed to have occured in certain humans ever since the beginning of the human race. They were called "God Powers" because in the earliest years of humanity it was believed that Gods must have given these powers to people.

    Cool Ricos power is speed, he can move really fast often ****ing off the enemy and pummeling them into submission. Slag can sift his hands into almost any type of ground; dirt, concrete, rock. And lift a Slag up off the ground to use as a weapon. He can also dig holes surprisingly quick or at least hide himself into trenches in the ground. Sludges power is firing off toxic sludge from the sleeves of the jacket he wears. Disgusting, yet useful.

    These are just a few of the citizens in the world of God Powers.


    Here is pictures of what I think Slag, Sludge and Cool Rico should look like.





    I know they suck , but for me I'm just worried about the designs and story.

    I really hope you enjoy.

    Based on their names and stature alone, I think they have a kind of Battletoads-ish charm.

    But as a power, picking up dirt doesn't sound all that Godly.

        A new menace later arrives to the planet called, "The Epsilon".

        A spacecraft crashes in a small farming village and curious workers open it up.
        Inside is a being of indeterminate origin with a vial in his hand.

        The vial breaks and some of the fluid splashes onto a worker.

        Unleashed is a race of intergalactic nano machines called the Epsilon, whom take over bodies and use them as their own. Their technology is so advanced they are able to change characteristics of bodies, such as hair and eye color and even replicate itself and reproduce.

        The small farm town becomes a techno-organic palace called the Palace of Tekno. Inside, the ruler, Prince Accel, rules with an iron fist and threatens to destroy all those who impose the Epsilon Army.

          Having the two names Sludge and Slag are repetitive and kinda boring. Cool **** tho.

            Diaboliqism:

            The cult religion that is has sprouted up in Metropolis 2 and may be spreading to the other Metropoli. The cult leader is Deacon, who wears a halo neck brace as a symbol of what Diaboliqism teaches. Self mutilation and self modification in an effort to attain a higher understanding of the human mind, body and soul. Followers have been known to "reach out" to those they believe are in need of the teachings and abduct them, only to destroy their body and spirit.

            The Knife Face trio:
            Jason Allester believes himself to be a high duke of sorts, in Hell. He claims that there are daggers which when pushed into the human body can give marvelous powers to those who are impaled. Believing in this so much he hired three henchmen to help him find these knives. After a raid at a customs storage facility, Jason believed the knives they recieved to be fake and murdered each of his men with these "fake" knives. The knives, left inside the bodies of the three, gave them a new life. Rendering them indestructible, super speed, and awesome strength just to name a few. After Jason realizes the grave error he made he pays a stranger named "Broken Face" to get these knives back as he is the only one capable.

              you have really original ideas.
              They are kind of "tongue-in-cheek" maybe, if that's the phrase I'm thinking of.
              I'd like to see more visuals.

                Cyrus:
                The demon slayer, who claims his reason for being on Earth is to slay demons.
                When he slays them sometimes he takes on one of their traits. Only lesser demons and subordinates have no effect on him. He stalks the streets of Metropolis 2 searching for demons many of which he is hired to go after. He is strong, and strong headed, tough as nails. Wields mainly guns and in close combat will use his fists as he is big in stature. One of the demons he killed gave him cocatiel like feathers on his head that come up when hes riled up.

                  Amon Gall:

                  A spirit energy from the sun inhabits a man as he is at the park.
                  Turning his body to gold the spirit claimed to be Amon-Gall who claims to be the Ruler of the Sun, comes to Earth to purge it of sinners which in Amon's eyes is nearly everyone. He turns masses into his warriors which have their eyes and face wrapped in cloth in an almost arabian like fashion. They also have wings which when not in use wrap around their arms like ribbons.
                  Gall summoned a fortress from the Earth. His power seems imeasurable and far from human. As he can stop a tank without even flinching. Nothing can penetrate his golden facade.

                  Is he God?

                      Well I'll be joining up with Jester on this, so I guess I'm now on the project. I'm drawing up some design ideas tonight, so we'll see.

                        Gunsaint-

                        Gunsaints, Gunsaviors, and Gunmasters are branches of the government who more or less has become its own entity. They act as detectives, body guards for important clientele, and bounty hunters. The Gunsavior is a higher than the Gunsaint and Gunmaster but all three can be deadly. The Gunmaster is an officer and student who is looking into going into becoming a Gunsaint. The fighting style is based on two handed, two gun fighting techniques, and acrobatics. Relying on gun tricks to psyche out the enemy, and catching them off guard. Gun Saviors are deadly upclose as well as long range as they've mastered trajectories of shooting from any angles and many have mastered ricotcheting bullets, and mastered an array of guns, from simple pistols, to rifles, even to flareguns and are more than capable of handling any situation. Motorcycles and hover bikes are there main transportation choices as they can nimbly handle any situation from their, should anything come up.

                        --------------------------------

                        Debaser Units

                        Construction robots that are practically steam powered. Skinny 7 foot tall robots with huge fists for deconstructing buildings, are also used to attack on enemies of the government. Sent out in waves to destroy forests in the Debaser Unit 0. A hulking gorilla like robot/transportation vessel that is quite protective of the other units.

                          I finished up Sludges design, I started inking, but didn't get far before my pen died:


                          I'm partly done with Slag, and have a rough idea down of Cool Rico.

                            If only I was willing too rip the page out of my sketchbook:



                            I didn't even realize the scan warped some of my lines...
