Character Contest 21: Randomawesity
Random is not just a by-word here at HeroMachine Global Headquarters, it’s a way of life. To honor that commitment, your challenge this week is to design a character from the name given you by the “Ultimate Game Name Generator” . You can try multiple times for a good name, but you have to use one given by them.
I of course have no way to detect cheating so we will be operating under the confines of the Honor System. Cheaters will be beaten with a wet noodle til collapse. Of the cheater, not the noodle because come on, how long would that take?
So, on to our rules!
- New characters only, not one you have laying around that you think will definitely win.
- Character must be built to fit with the name generated by the “Ultimate Game Name Generator“, and the name must be provided in the post.
- All entries must be made as comments to this post, between now and next Tuesday, each comment containing a link to an image of the character (or multiple links to your multiple characters) hosted on a publicly accessible web site like ImageShack, the UGO Forums, PhotoBucket, or whatever.
That’s it! No limit on the number of entries this week, so let ‘em rip. It would also be fun to see in your post which settings were used to generate the name, although that’s not a requirement.
Whoever has the best entry as judged by the capricious whim of Jeff Hebert will win either a portrait of their head or any item they choose, to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 program.
Good luck everyone!

When young Highschool student Billy Bison went on a school trip to a farm (which just happened to be next door to a Nuclear Power Station) he was gored by a radioactive bull.
Billy (who was a keen comic book reader) was overjoyed at the thought of trasforming into something that was half-man half-bull.
“I’ll be superhero!!!” he said to himself “I’ll fight crime and defeat evil villains… and the ladies will be impressed with the generous bulge* in my spandex!”
Unfortunatly for Billy the transformation didn’t quite turn out the way he expected, netherless the plucky young lad still held onto his crime-fighting dreams.
By day he is mild mannered, high school student but at night he dons a costume and a mask to protect his identity, for the world can never know that young Billy Bison is really the masked avenger known only as…
…NUCLEAR BULL!!!

November 10th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
By the way, Jeff, have you seen the SeventhSanctum Generators?
Generally easier to use, and there’s a LOT more of them!
Anyways, I came up with “Shadow Fox”
http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/2160/shadowfox.jpg
November 10th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
@kyle (10): Yes. Hence rule number 2. That’s rather the point of the whole thing. As WillyPete has pointed out there are other very good generators out there but it’s more fair if everyone uses the same one.
November 11th, 2009 at 12:52 am
but what about the Seventh Sanctum Generators website it has tons of names that we can create
with Seventh Sanctum Generators i created about at least 40 names so far
with Ultimate Game Name Generator i only created 20
November 11th, 2009 at 12:54 am
is it ok if i have same name like other have but have a different style/look to my character ????
November 11th, 2009 at 12:58 am
Considering the small number of catagories, duplicate names are going to be almost unavoidable, so, I think what Kyle says makes sense…

Ok, I figured I’d do a print screen of the character name the name generator provided so you could see this was the name I got. So here’s the name:
http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/1511/76204956.jpg
And here he is. A mutated eagle whose’s parents built their nest at Three Mile Island, the radiation from the partial meltdown of unit two killed both his parents and destroyed the other eggs in his nest. But somehow the radition didn’t have the same effect on him, it accelerated the incubating process, hatching a baby eagle man like creature. Wiser than expected due to his exposure to the radiation, he grew up learning about nuclear arms reduction of which he approved.
He is among us now, attacking those who threaten the world by developing new nuclear weapons. With his nuclear powers he can kill anyone who tries to stop him while his razor sharp clars allow him to tear through inch thick steel or several feet of concrete to get at his target.
Behold NUCLEAR EAGLE!!!!!!

The “horns” on his head are blades surgically implanted on his skull. His ribs have been pulled through his skin, the scar on his stomach is where they went in and reconstructed his ribcage. Also, his hands have been removed, his skin pushed back and has had blades grafted onto his bones.
He normally has a keeper, but has escaped his captives. Once an instrument of war, is now an instrument of rampage and murder.

Again, here’s the name that was produced:
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/6858/50562891.jpg
When college sophmore Amanda Yates discovered the talisman of telekileporidae she felt her dreams of finally gaining incredible mystical powers had come true. She proceded to visit a relatively out of the way local bookstore which dealt with rare and ancient tomes to see if she could learn more about the talisman.
Only one the Hasu Magus Tomus had any mention of the talisman. From it Amanda learned that the talisman granted the user telekinetic abilities but it had one noticeable drawback. Unfortunately the page further describing the talisman was missing and Amanda was unable to discover what it was. When she approached the store owner he assured her that the page was somewhere in the store, it was just that the book was so old pages kept falling out on a regular basis and just that week he’d had to return twenty pages to it. He promised her he’d find the missing page and call her when he had it.
Amanda left the book store and went to the bank where she worked as a teller, safe in the knowledge the old man would find the page for her. After all, he’d kept his word to her before on other books. It was while returning from the bathroom that her life would change as she discovered the bank was being robbed. Having not been seen, she ducked back into the bathroom and pulled out the talisman. Drawbacks or no, the talisman would grant her telekinetic abilities and she could use them to stop the thieves from robbing her bank. Chanting the incantation from the book, she felt a strange power wash over her. Instantly she knew she could move objects with her mind and so she stepped out and quickly lifted the thieves into the air, pulling their guns away from them.
It was then several of her co-workers turned to her and started screaming in horror. No understanding what was happening, Amanda rushed back into the bathroom only to see a giant rabbit looking back at her. With a shock she realized the drawbacks were the talisman turned it’s user into a rabbit. She could only use her newfound telekinetic powers in this form.
Luckily Amanda didn’t have to be a rabbit all the time, only when she used the talisman. Now she fights crime as the telekinetically empowered SUMMER BUNNY!!!

William A.

November 12th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Facebook is way too intrusive. There are plenty of sites like photobucket and imageshack that only ask for a screen name and an e-mail address. Facebook wants all kinds of information that a lot of people might not be comfortable putting on the internet, so I can definately see where WillyPete is coming from. I don’t have a Facebook, either, and for just that reason…

@Aaron: Here’s the thing, Jeff isn’t too keen on sites that you have to sign up for in order to see the pictures. I suggest you create an account on picasa, flickr or one of the other sites where you can create a public gallery that does not require anyone else to be a member of that service in order to view the pictures(lots of other suggestions can be pulled from the other submissions).

@Anarch, thanks alot. The shape was actually easier than I thought, the details took awhile, and I didn’t have the slightest ideal where to start with the overall graphical design.
@Jeff, in light of HK’s comic cover how to, I suggest a comic cover contest. I’ve noticed that everyone is getting better with their creations, more details, etc. I’ve actually started work on one myself, It’s nowhere near finished, but I’m happy with how it’s turning out.

I’m fine with Facebook if that’s the only option the person has, because I happen to have an account there. It’s definitely the least-favored of the various options, though, because as other have said, you have to actually sign up for an account to be able to see the images, which means not everyone’s going to be able to enjoy what you made. Others like ImageShack and such do not require the general visitor to have an account to see what you, the account holder, have posted.

@Mr.Vampire (#107): You and me both. I remember playing that thing ad nauseum.

Oh man, I played the daylights out of that game (though it was “Asteroids” where I was from) on the original Atari game system. We actually ended up rolling the score on it … good times.

I know you already said Jeff, but just to confirm again (I panic about the smallest things, honestly), we are allowed to use the Seventh Sanctum generator, right?
November 13th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
@Hakoon: I’d rather you didn’t, but if you feel like the ones you’d want are already taken then yes, you can use the Seventh Sanctum one.

And my final entry will be: Green Dragon!
November 13th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Here it is, Green Dragon, my last entry into this contest. I’ve spent a lot more time than I usually do on these ones, so I’m hoping to finally get an honorable mention this time around!

The generator gave me “Bronze Dragon”, and since I hadn’t yet tried out the new female parts, I decided to create…
Victoria Lawless, the Irish-Chinese daughter of a famous explorer and adventurer. Raised in the Mysterious East and heavily trained in the martial arts, she is known where ever she is needed as the Bronze Dragon.
Here she is in a plain masked PNG:

Well, the generator gave me a few that I passed up. I chose Dawn Flame. Hope you enjoy.

I think due to NaNoWriMo I’ll only have time for the one entry, so I wanted to make it count. “Chrome Falcon” made me think of a 1950’s car, so I modeled my superhero along those lines, with chrome lines and hubcaps and stuff.

Now that the gals are no longer topless, I figured it was worth recreating the Bronze Dragon a little better dressed. And so here she is, Victoria Loveless (I must have had Lucy Lawless on the brain when I submitted the previous entry, she was always supposed to be Loveless, but my fingers weren’t taking proper dictation.) a.k.a. “The Bronze Dragon”.
