Power Grand
JustNoPoint on April 2, 2009
Whew, aside for the Master Preda Grand and Primal Grand I have all the grands finally up!!! Thank goodness!
MPG and Primal will come later on. Going pretty much in order of appearance. Aside from the most important characters Fenny and Sally being at the front.
I also noticed a few pages back I messed up on my own story canon. Luckily I didn't do it in the comic itself… boy that would suck.
I mentioned on the Cyro and Pred profiles that they were on Earth 10,000 years ago. That was wrong. They were on Earth 500,000 years ago.
My original story years back had it only 10,000 but that didn't compute well when I started researching more. I updated those profiles.
Power Grand is my favorite bad alien. Even more than MPG. I just love this guy and his overpowered abilty.
I was really leery abut giving him a power this potent. Like, how the heck are my characters going to kill him? He's gotta be dead by issue FIVE!
Luckily Cutter Grand had the perfect power to take him on. No need for energy attacks when you can move things with your mind! Including moving energy around.
Power Grand's design was heavily inspired by the aliens from “Aliens” and some arachnid for good measure. Probably some Guyver too. Everyone says he looks like a Zoanoid from there. And I did like Guyver as a kid so it's possible that without knowing features from Guyver fell into the grands.
Though more Mega Man fell into them IMO, especially the Cyro Grand armor designs.
Luckily most characters in the prologue are not very deep. So even though he was powerful, he'll be forgotten pretty quickly. So he won't outshine my new villains that will come in. It will be nice to actually slow down a bit so I can add some depth to some characters. The prologue is just too fast for character depth. Aside from a bit I try to squeeze in with Fenny and Sally.

I really liked this character's death scene, that's a literal "blaze of glory." I still think the chompy nipples are plenty weird though.

[quote]I could almost tell that just by the vibes in the bio picture. I can feel the attention you put into it, and the pose is awesome![/quote] I hated having to kill him. But I can't start playing favorites when it comes to pushing the story now. ^^' [quote]Writing yourself into a corner eh? That's one of my favorite parts of writing! When I was younger, I used to write characters into a predicament with absolutely no solution in mind. Then you're stuck waiting for inspiration or pouring through previous plotline to see if you've accidentally created a loophole for yourself somewhere. (Actually, I recall a couple stories I abandoned completely for lack of a solution. I should have just killed them all off and wrote "The End.")[/quote] Heh, another similarity. Except I never abandoned a story. Some I still don't have a solution to yet. I'm just hoping I can come up with one before I get there. (No not the current story where everyone is dying XD) I love trying to get my cast out of the impossible. But it also makes me want to kill them more. If it's impossible, well, they shouldn't get out of it! None of the walking away from the dastardly killing contraption plots for me. [quote]Fast-paced but LONG. Kudos for squeezing so much into it. It's really saying something if you can have non-stop pacing but still end up with hundreds of pages... in a PROLOGUE.[/quote] Bad thing is I don't think of it as long. This is the shortest multi comic spanning story I have. To me this is the pilot season. An hour premiere with the 2 part issue 1. Then 6 more episodes or roller coaster riding excitement to build into the real story that starts forming up in issue/episode 7 a bit. Though my other stories may not seem as long. I do not like run on stories. And this grand story is almost nothing but 1 huge run on story. I prefer a big story but each episode/issue is it's own story. So you can enjoy single chunks or get swept away by the whole epic.
