Kaldath's Character Challenge #5

Greeting everyone, it is time for a new character redesign challenge and considering the less then stellar turn out the last two challenge with male characters I return to the ladies. This one I do not have just one character for you, but TWO. I present for your creative redesign efforts the Mejeer Twins, Brittney and Mea!

Mejeer Twins -Brittney & Mae HM3

Characters Info: These two ladies are twin sister and share most of the same powers. They both have winged flight powers, they both are highly agile, Ā both have minor shape shifting abilities allowing them to change their facial features, as well as adjust there height by 2 feet in either direction and make slight alteration to skin and hair color. Also both of them have the ability to disrupt another persons nervous system by touch to various different effect. Brittney has one power she does not share with her sister, and is able to directly interface with any machine she touches and control it with her mind, While Mea on the other hand has her own power that Brittney does not, which is the ability to briefly pause the flow of time for everyone but herself. Another difference in the two girls is that Mae is a Mage and uses magic free, while Brittney is more of a street tough and focuses on high tech gadgets and weapons.

2013 Hall of Fame Nomination Thread

Merry Christmas, everyone!

In the spirit of the season, I'd like to open up the Hall of Fame for nominations. If you have a HeroMachine image you think deserves to be immortalized, please post a link to it here. Or if you want to nominate someone else's creation, that'd be great to see as well.

I'll gather up the ones I personally think are best, then I'll probably put them all on Facebook and the ones with the most Likes will be added to the rolls. I'm sort of making this up as I go so that's as much info as I can think of at the moment.

Good luck, and thanks in advance for your nominations! Remember, I need to have a link to an image I can actually get to.

Stevedore:

After hours of interfacing directly with their servers, the Vision still couldn’t access heathcare.gov.

**********

Herr D:

. . . . and, realizing his 11th costume redesign wasn’t cool EITHER, he began thinking of all the HM3 artists he’d snubbed

**********

Timedrop23:

Vision can’t believe he sat through the end credits ofĀ The AvengersĀ just to see them all sitting around drinking beer.

CantDraw:

The tightness of his corset was too much for The Vision.
