STE the Animated web series!

[shiromadoushi]

So, Bakura has gotten/been given an idea to make an animated youtube series called the Adventures of Bugman and the Green Ninja where Bugman (totaly not at all based off Hajime's Joker form at all nooo) teams up with the plant ninjas to battle the Evil Gardners and their toxic pestasides. Write (or in this case, animate) what you know, right? Since the YouTube account DreamEater already has a bit of a following thanks to a previous animated video he made with the inspiration of another numbers club member this may even get a small following or even get popular.

That said! Who wants their character to have an expy in Bakura's cartoon show? Nothing identifying of course because he's not stupid, everyone gets a silly code name and appearance based on their code name. And people are free to somehow find the video on youtube and react as well!

Edit: And since Bakura doesn't want to do voice acting (hard to hide who you are with a voice!), everything gets to be noises subtitled with color coded text.

The Flowers:
Orange: The Organizer! The head of the team!

Red: The Atomizer! The hot head!

Black: BlackRose, The Timid Necromancer!

Ice Blue: Snapdragon! The ice cold deadpan snarker!

Blue: Nightshade! The group enginer who makes all their gadgets. Has a bird she can call to go flying on.

(?): Medic!

Purple: The Bug Whisper-er! [Code name yet to be dertermined!]

White: The Twins! Identical twins that share both the rank of White Flower Ninja and seeming everything else. They talk in unison, never are seen apart and always use their combo attack!

Support staff!

Medic the 2nd! A pacifist who used to be more activly involved in the war effort but doesn't like to talk about his past, the Medic doesn't go out with the team, but instead waits for them to come back and patches them up.

The Wolf Former Blue Flower Ninja, now the team mentor. Often brings his knowledge to assist the current team!

Grandpa The Former Red Flower Ninja!

The non flowers:
Bugman! Misunderstood as a villian in the first episode, after fighting with the Green Ninja team he becomes a trusted and valued member of the team.

The Butterfly! Fluttering above the plot to spy for the Green Ninja team!

The Rouge Gardener!A human who upon discovering the sinister plan of the Gardners agaist the world, searched for a way to save the world and resurrected the Green Ninja Spirits from their ageless slumber.

Bahahaha. I'm down for this.

[shiromadoushi]

So, the reluctant de facto leader of green ninja who's unsure about her role in the rebellion but determined to lead the ninja to victory?

Has she used any code name yet? Or shall we make her up one? :D

[searchforpeace]

Hahahaha you're so creative. I don't believe she has yet. Totally missed her chance when jail breaking Banagher out of his apartment.

[shiromadoushi]

Hrmmm... What key things does Bakura know about her to form a code name from... There's the learning to game thing but calling your team leader "The newbie" doesn't work so well :D Maybe "The Organizer"?

[searchforpeace]

Everyone seems to be calling her that anyhow, haha.

[shiromadoushi]

So she'll get to be the orange flower ninja named "The Organizer." She'll get a subplot where she looks up at the history of the previous Orange Flower Ninja and wonders about living up to that flower's legacy and then at the end of the episode decides fuck history, she's who she is and the previous ninja were their own people, not just the orange ninja so no matter what, she'll be who she is and not them.

Since Bakura doesn't want to do voice acting, everything gets to be noises subtitled [...something I should add to the main entry, come to think of it, whoops] but he'll be using abit of her speech patterns.

[testsonseashells]

oh god i'm signing mordin up for this.

[shiromadoushi]

I don't think Bakura's had much CR with Mordin yet, so what kinda stuff would he have picked up about him from his posts? He'd be the team medic, but past that, I got nothing. Toss me ideas!

[testsonseashells]

i'd thought i'd gotten to this earlier, sorry. anyway, i figure, since it's a web series so a lot of his character complexities are going to be lost, there are two options here:

1. Flanderize him. "SCIENCE SCIENCE LOGIC SCIENCE", Spock-style.
2. Flanderize him in the other direction, in a TF2 Medic sort of way.

There's something of an overlap there, but that's what I've got.

[reckless_fire]

Go ahead and throw Kenji in there if you want.

[shiromadoushi]

Red flower ninja! The Atomizer! Prone to fits of temper, hotheaded and rushes in first and is the Leroy of the group!

[reckless_fire]

Sounds about right!


...except I don't know what being the Leroy means...

[shiromadoushi]

Leeroy Jenkins~

Means you run in head first and ruin everyone's careful planning :D

[reckless_fire]

Ah.

Then yeah, that definitely works!

[wannabered]

Can I throw Thomas into this? This is just the right brand of insanity and a good excuse to build cr so they'd know eachother.

[shiromadoushi]

Sure! Been meaning to pester him more anyway since I flaked on their first thread ^^;;

Not sure what Bakura would have for him, so feed me some things he might notice?

[wannabered]

Oh it was my fault too. We both flaked.

Well, Thomas has a clearly sci-fi gun that really shouldn't work. A wealth of knowledge about heroes, like 37 years worth. Is one of the many who has been trying to be Hajime's support through the whole bug thing. ALways wearing a dramatic scarf.

[shiromadoushi]

Hrrm... Purple flower ninja, the one who was the one to realize that Bugman wasn't a threat and stop the fight. Often hangs out with Bugman and is the team researcher who often calls the tropes? :D

[wannabered]

Perfect. Wouldn't be the first time my character was dressed as a ninja anyway.

[shiromadoushi]

[and I get the wrong icon for thinking phhht. Shoulda been this one :D]

Almost all of them get to be ninja~ That's half the fun! :D

To bad Red was already taken, huh? :D

Edit: Oh! Code name for the character! any that he's already using?

[wannabered]

Quite a shame. Oh well, he'd be ok with being a purple. Pretty rare color for hero teams.

No, he hasn't really been using any.

[shiromadoushi]

It's a pretty big team so Bakura's getting creative with the colours :D [Besides. Ninja turtles :D] But Kazuma was the perfect hothead for red :D

Welp, since Thomas will be a later edition once we get them some CR going, there's time to come up with one :D

SPEAKING OF, how we wannt get them hanging out? Comic shop or some nerdy such place?

[wannabered]

Yes, I imagine the local comicbooks stores would be a good place. With all his new knowledge he'd definitely be looking for evidence in Locke. Or at least something similar to entertain himself with.

[espigeonage]

...lol. Sure!

Julien would be good for voicework, but Jules is kind of distracted with boring stuff like Growing Up and Being A Lot Busier, so if he made such contributions they'd be infrequent.

[shiromadoushi]

If Julian's willing to record voices, Bakura will take him up on it :D

...so tempted to have him be a bird in the show :D I just... don't know if Bakura would know enough to realize that's what's up. Whatcha think?

[espigeonage]

Not all the time, but now and then...

The details of Julien's physical changes aren't widely known, and what is known is pretty difficult to connect with aviankind, unless you have experience with pale-eyed birds or know what their internal organs are like. There's that feather from the planelog way back when.

I think he'd be better off (and more content) as a butterfly. |D

[shiromadoushi]

Well, it has to be consistent~ He'll be putting out a 5 min episode once a week or so. (once he has the sprites drawn, doing the episodes will go much easier since it's limited motion :) )

Oooo, perfect! And be the spy for the team~

[espigeonage]

Doable! If Julien ever gets really sick or something Bakura's on his own, of course.

Have the bird-role of mobility and reporting from afar without the bird-responsibilities (fighting and carrying things). |D I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

[shiromadoushi]

Exactly~

Oh right! Which codename? He has that fancy title, yes? :D

[espigeonage]

The Apostle of the Violet Rose? Julien proposes Clad In Indigo, or something like that.

[shiromadoushi]

Violet Rose is one of the former Green Ninja~ One of legend~! The Butterfly studies his legend and brings it to the current Green Ninja team!

[ursoreckless]

Sign Shou up!

[shiromadoushi]

hrm... Bakura hasn't seen Shou around too much, so you'll have to help me out here. What parts about him stick out the most?

[ursoreckless]

He's the annoying rich brat with a heart of gold hidden behind designer wear and he has a flashy sports car and tends to not sleep that much so he always is about either on the network or outside. He can sort of be like the Tuxedo Kamen type character - someone who seems useless until his skills are needed.

[earnedmystripes]

OOH put Kotetsu in please!!

[shiromadoushi]

Retired flower ninja! The previous Red Flower Ninja, old age forced him to retire, but since he protests he's not that old, he hangs around the base and is determined to prove he's not obsolete. One episode will result in him and the other support staff fighting off an invasion while the main gang is lured away on a major mission. For a moment, it'll look like he's a gonner... but with a witty line and a grin, he'll pull through.

And then spend the next two episodes in recovery because he's still old. ;)

[soulsborderline]

Asuka thinks this is stupid and will watch every single episode.

[shiromadoushi]

Long as she watches~

[soulsborderline]

[reapsthewind]

I WILL BE NIGHTSHADE, THE TECH GUY

[somedaytogether]

As the initiator of the project, Rita feels she deserves a spot on the team. :P

[shiromadoushi]

Would she like to be a gardener who left the ranks once she realized what was going on and who's the center of the operations base? [Think like Zordon from Power Rangers only less giant head in a test tube and more a human who can shrink to flower size :D]

[somedaytogether]

Yesssss awesome.

[carsharkkonishi]

You can put Rhyme in here if you want?

[shiromadoushi]

Sure! Thinking support rather than a ninja, something with her art since that's... mostly what Bakura knows of her :D Possibly she can be a junior rose who mans the base when the team is out?

And she'd start to show up like.. Ep 3 or 4. Eps 1 and 2 are already out. :)

[carsharkkonishi]

Sure!

[dead_black_eyes]

Oh come on. There is no way there's not some part for L in all this. ;)
