Subject: I want to play the "Pre-existing Lair Legion" game I see Shrike started... Posted Wed Dec 07, 2011 at 04:56:58 pm EST (Viewed 525 times) | ||

I did a quick scan of the main page and saw Killer Shrike's thread on creating a Lair Legion of existing characters, so here is my stab at it. Who: Oolong Where: Dragon Ball Why He'd Fit: He is a talking pig who can shape shift for 5 minutes at a time. 'Nuff said. Who: Astro Boy Where: Astro Boy Why He'd Fit: He brings an innocent world outlook to the group, which would play well against other more cynical members. He is also a link to technology-based stories, as well as the robots-rights angle that we've played with a lot. Plus he has a machine gun that extends out from his ass. Who: Captain Hammer Where: Dr. Evil's Sing-Along-Blog Why He'd Fit: Captain Hammer would bring a lot of internal friction to the group, since he's a self-serving jerk. Who: Striperella Where: Striperella Why: I figure having a Stan Lee created character on the team would add a touch of class. Plus Vizh is more likely to draw the team now. (I set the Search Filter to "Strict" before I searched for an image at work!) Who: She-Ra Where: She-Ra, Princess of Power Why She'd Fit: I really like the idea of the team powerhouse being a female, plus she also brings the realm of magic as a story possibility. She's also my pick for field leader. Who: Scott Pilgrim Where: Scott Pilgrim Why He'd Fit: Having a character who lives in a video game world as Scott does would open a lot of story possibility, and cool visuals for Vizh to draw. Who: Penny Where: Inspector Gadget Why: I like the idea of the team leader being the team leader without the team actually realizing she is the team leader. Penny is a master at guiding her uncle to where he needs to be and getting him to do what he needs to do, without him ever realizing it or anyone else for that matter. | |||

I'm not as big a fan of Fillion, or Whedon for that matter, as some are, but its always good to have a Quicksilver/Moondragon/US Agent type around to stir things up.

Quote: Who: She-Ra Where: She-Ra, Princess of Power Why She'd Fit: I really like the idea of the team powerhouse being a female, plus she also brings the realm of magic as a story possibility (as does Sleeping Beauty I suppose). She's also my pick for field leader. Nice choice., though I'm unclear about the Sleeping Beauty reference. Quote: Who: Scott Pilgrim Where: Scott Pilgrim Why He'd Fit: Having a character who lives in a video game world as Scott does would open a lot of story possibility, and cool visuals for Vizh to draw. Saw the movie, but am unfamiliar with the comic. He'd be an interesting fit.

I have to confess, watching those cartoons I hated Penny and that damn dog. It was Scrappy level hatred, but she gave off the same vibe. | |||

I'd follow this team. But honestly... expect more pictures of She-Ra than of Stripperella. Sure, she's kind of dull as a post, but she's hotter. | |||

There's a set of potential clashes here that Parodyverse writers could have a lot of fun with. Plus between She-Ra, Inspector Gadget and the Singalong Blog they'd surely have one awesone theme tune. | |||

Characters not making the cut this time around are swordsman Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride, the disaster-prone Gaston LaGaffe and Sergeant Major Zero from Terrahawks. But here's the full alternative lineup: THE MAN OUT OF TIME Lucifer Box (the Vesuvius Club) Our fearless leader is a gentleman spy from novels by Mark Gatiss. Box is a daring and deadly agent of the British Crown with a louche lifestyle that's the scandal of London. He faces crazed scientists and demonic cults with effortless style. But how will he fare against Argh!Yle, Evillest of Socks? THE MUSCLE Jet Jaguar (Godzilla Versus Megalon) He began life as a prototype robot servant, but when sea monster Megalon attacked Japan, Jet Jaguar "reprogrammed himself" to grow into two hundred feet of rubbery kung-fu fury. Battle won, Jet Jaguar returned to domestic drudgery; now he's back on the big stage and spoiling for a fight. Can the mute size-changing droid keep one step ahead of Ultraman's copyright lawyers? THE ENIGMA The Diva Plavalaguna (The Fifth Element) In 2263 she's due to save the world - first she's got to live that long. With her alien gadgetry and devastating sonic attacks, the mysterious young mollusc-woman is a valuable addition to the Legion. But are her hearts really in it, or will she be distracted by her fledgling pop career? THE OBLIGATORY TEEN Tiffany Aching (Discworld) Earnest witch-in-training Tiffany is principled and resourceful but still has much to learn about life. She'll be a fish out of water in the big city, but pity the villain who runs foul of those tiny blue hooligans who watch her every move. THE LOOSE CANNON Hathor (Egyptian mythology) Hathor herself is a cow-eyed goddess of love and joy, an earth-mother type celebrated for her good sense, soothing voice and milfy charms. But scratch her and you risk unleashing her other aspect, the blazing, bloodthirsty lioness-spirit known as Sekhmet the Destroyer. Can she hold herself together in a crisis or does she pose a danger to her teammates... and the world? THE REFORMED VILLAIN Wile E. Coyote (Looney Tunes) Having seen the error of his ways, Coyote resolved to harness his tenacity, creativity and apparent indestructibility for the greater good. But how long can he stay on the straight and narrow when every single mission requires him at some point to run off a cliff, screech to a halt in mid-air, feel around with his toe and plummet a slide-whistle mile to the dusty desert floor? and finally THE ACTION MAN Vladimir Putin (public persona) Following a kryptonite accident, the real and constructed Putins are split into two independent physical bodies; the dead-eyed intelligence officer resumes the murky business of governing Russia while the bear-hunting scuba-diving racecar-driving jet-piloting marlin-fishing judo-throwing action hero of a thousand pre-election photoshoots seeks out the only role that can offer him the thrill-packed lifestyle he craves. But does he secretly covet the top job, or is he playing a deeper game?
