Description

You guys should put height references on your characters' profiles. :I

I'm still planning on putting in backgrounds and polishing up those colors a bit, but I don't know when I'll be able to work on it next, soooo here you go. This will do for now. c: Old version.

Aaaaand with that, we're kicking off Round 3 of the Round Robin Comic! :la:

Because there's been a lot of confusion over the plot so far (understandably so, because ugh it's getting to be messy), the start of Round 3 seems like a good time for a recap.

:bulletyellow::bulletyellow:

Round 2 Recap:
Here's a summary of where we left the comic at the end of Round 2 (not including my page):

Tim, Taboo, and Raiden have formed an alliance, splitting up to recruit other villains to join with them in fighting the others with the eventual goal of taking out Caerus. Raiden escapes the game as long as he sides with Tim.


SKate/Salamander - These two are still passed out in the woods, both powerless after fighting Tim.


Duplicate/Cardinal, Magenta/Rapid, Raiden, Wolf-woman/Mistress Ruby - After leaving Skate/Salamander to get help in the fight against Tim, Rapid and Magenta became sidetracked by explosions in the woods. They find Raiden fighting Cardinal and Duplicate. Wolf-woman throws down a smoke bomb and interrupts shortly after Rapid confronts Raiden with a gun.


Sliver/Anathema, Caerus/Mel Sireno, Interrogator/Trance - After splitting from the original group with Hestia and Rapid to scour the woods for others, Caerus and Mel Sireno have collected a group of metas (Mel is conscious again now after being knocked out). Caerus and Interrogator want everyone to work together, but Trance and Mel don’t like the idea of working with heroes. They’ve just heard someone approaching them in the woods. **Note: LueniTitan pointed out that Mel Sireno and Sliver have a very significant history with each other which so far has been overlooked.


Falconer/Strobe, Illusion/Imagine, Ecto Girl/Eve, Hestia/Taboo, Violet/Ricochet - Taboo arrived carrying a knocked-out Hestia on her tattoo-sabertooth’s back, saying she wanted help. Violet and Ricochet were with her, and even though Violet was itching for a fight, everyone agreed that the best option was to work together. **Note: Falconer, Imagine, Illusion, and Strobe all know that Raiden and Tim are in the area and have teamed up.

Tim - He’s off doing stuff and things, lurking in the shadows. We don’t know where exactly he’s gone ever since making the alliance with Taboo and Raiden.

About my page:

I gotta be honest, this whole process was more of a pain than it was fun this time around... xD Hopefully things start getting back on track this next round. c:

OKAY, BUSINESS TIME.

:bulletblack: redshadow1234 dropped out of the activity, so I was tasked with writing her character Cardinal out of the comic. :I
:bulletblack: I decided to replace Cardinal with Genesis for a number of reasons. I wanted someone who didn't have a character in the comic yet, which left me four options (excluding Pepperfan's characters, because she joined recently). Of those four, three were heroes. Shinigami is a veeeery intense character that didn't feel appropriate to use in this instance (actually, I think the BEST place for Shinigami would be paired with Dove. Seems like the sort of thing Tim would do, pairing an extreme pacifist with someone who would be completely revolting to her, forcing Dove to fight. AND they're both powerful, so it would be a good fit? I DIGRESS.), and toughcookie's Velocity was the only other option. Since there was already a speedster in the comic, I felt like Genesis was the best option for this moment. c: AND after talking with Voodookandy, Genesis being a relatively new hero and somewhat suggestible/gullible would make this situation of her being paired with another hero work. Genesis may be a hero, but she's not familiar with everyone and can potentially be manipulated... AND she's being thrown into an extremely volatile/unpredictable situation.
:bulletblack: Finally, not much has happened with Taboo's group yet. At all. So I really, really wanted to shake things up with them, especially since it's the BIGGEST group with TEN PEOPLE now!! It's about time they did more than stand around. Strobe has the ability to read peoples' thoughts if she makes eye contact with them, so that seemed like a good place to start.

More details about the page...

:bulletblack: Evidently the person approaching Caerus's group is NOT Tim, because Tim is off somewhere else reading his handy dandy notebook.
:bulletblack: Tim doesn't think Cardinal should be here because she doesn't have any useful powers, so he drags in Genesis to replace her. That being said, I realize that at least one other character in the comic is in the same boat, so we can assume some excuse for why Tim wants other non-powered folks around...
:bulletblack: Mistress Ruby does not appreciate Wolf-Woman dragging her around, AND she's much more powerful than Wolf-Woman with superstrength/flight, so her retaliation means Raiden can focus on whooping the others.
:bulletblack: Strobe notices Josh/Jeshula being fussy about Taboo, and she digs into their head to find out why. Josh/Jesh have an extensive history of dealing with Taboo.
:bulletblack: Imagine is getting really bored with all the talking, so she creates her own source of entertainment.
:bulletblack: Strobe keeps steady eyes on Taboo until finally Taboo makes eye contact. In the very first page, Taboo told Tim she was memorizing the people on his list, which means she knows what Strobe is capable of... So after the slip-up, Strobe now knows what's really going on, and Taboo doesn't want her spoiling the surprise.
:bulletblack: I guess Violet is really eager to fight? xD

---

That's it for me. I'm off to bed. I'll probably amend this in the morning if it turns out to be incomplete. Good luck in round 3, everybody.

*Late to comment, but whatever*
When I got back home from Basic, I was trying to see how was the RRC was doing. I was confuse as to what the hell was going on. Then you came to the rescue! Holy shit! :la: I am mind blown of how well were you able to pull things together and brought sense back to the comic! This page is definitely a great way to start out Round 3. And it sucks that this was that much of a pain to you when you made this. But you impress me the way you got both this page AND your OCT entry done! This entry was well written and beautifully drawn. The humor with Illusion and Imagine is cute, and Tim's faces.....just look at them. And writing out Cardinal out of the comic made SO much sense. I didn't felt so abrupt are rash. It fits with the comic and Tim's goal as to taking powers away from his targets. Genesis being thrown into the mix makes it really enticing. This is easily the best one of Round 3 (so far) and here is hoping that things would be less confusing this time around!
