What was the thing that drove you to trying comicbooks?
Well, i was watching a bunch of the movies (spiderman 2) and i was just like, i can really get into it. It took my friend to actually give me my first comic (Supergirl issue # 22) for me to continue with it.
Who are your favorite characters and why?
Supergirl and powergirl - She happens to be the first comic i ever read, at times i kind of relate to her, She feels useless, in need of direction at times; but she always seems to find herself.
Misty Knight - She's fierce and despite her typical stereotypical look at times but she (to me atleast) embodies what a African American female is; Fierce, headstrong
and independent.
Black Canary - She's use an awesome character
I'm actually liking batman! (Don't tell Nova, or Gambler, OR MR or Babs) but i hated the whole family before but, as i read some of the older material it just intrest me. I love the Noiresque theme nowadays lol.
I just find the rest of these intresting.
Collen Wing
Pepper Potts
Darksied
Grunge
Apollo
Nemesis
Grifter
Zealot
Would you like to become a comic writer?
I think that'd be cool, but it's not something i'm pursuing. It's one of the reasons i took up rpging, so i can let loose all the ideas that float around my head. It's my release.
Like the comicvine, i come here to escape my current life. I can't transform into Sha while i'm at work and freeze breath an angry customer, but i can come to the vine and make Sha crush the likiness of an angry customer lol. I don't write for profit, i do it because it's my Majiruana. I enjoy doing so, which is why i battle alot, i create alot. It's soothing.
Follow up: You mentioned that you create a lot, which is your favorite CV creation?
If you mean my own characters? My favorite is probably Hayden Miles.
If you became a comic writer, which current series would you like to take over?
I honestly think (even though it's not in retail anymore) I could have done an awesome Job with Ms.Marvel. However I'd love a chance at the W.I.L.D C.A.T.s
Who is your favorite comic writer and why?
I don't really have one. I'm only consistent with Supergirl but I like Peter Davids work with The hulk. I just found it intresting.
I liked Sterling Gates Work on Worlds Finest.
I especially like Gates for his writing with Supergirl just before the NEw Krypton series. His one shot with Promethesus was awesome too
Who are your influations when writing?
When i first started out, I didn't have a set style, but I did learn alot from the viner. Mighty Magneto, Gambler, Aztek, Gloom, Charmcaster, Andy and Feral Nova. I tried to take bits and pieces of things that they would do to form my own style. Eventually, I did a character reconstruction and just defined my own style.
What is easier in your opinion; to write a hero or a villain?
With Sha.
It's much easier for me to be a Villian, because her being an alien, and having her planet destroyed by Humans it's just easier. Her powers don't do anything but destroy, so it's just naturally easy for me. The challenge is hero, because I work with Sha on a "Canon" storyline. Say for Instance Sha's planet was destroyed (and let's say she's a hero) The challenge is making Sha continue to save the same race of people that took everything from her. So with her being a hero, she fights, your everyday villians, Villians from her own history, and then villians from the vine community, and to do this while soceity hates you is pretty hard. That's why it's a challnege for me, because I have to take a former Queen, of a powerful race, reduce her to a minority in a foreign world, Remove her customs, and expect her to fuction like everything is normal. (I know i ranted a bit, but it's the truth) writing as a villian is much easier, Sha's bult up anger can be released.
Supergirl is going through a similar situation than Sha with the destruction of New Krypton, was that a coincidence or a choice of yours?
It wasn't a choice i was originally going with, Sha's home world was destroyed in a rpg by Dark child, I was going to have her turn evil kidnap the heroes of the vine, placing them in some sort of alternate reality. But when Ninjeta was destoryed, i guess it was just easier to go that route. So it was more of a choice
Who in your opinion will be the next big rpger?
I don't know, honestly and not to sound harsh, i don't care. The problem with most of the NEW rpger's are. Alot of them treat it like it's an award show; instead of an art. I understand people like to be appreciated for their work, but when it comes to do threads like "Whose the best this and whose the best that" it's stupid. "when you rpg for recognition, you will never recieve it". Nighthunter for instance; probably everyone will say he's one of the best rpger's on the site. His vocab,grammar, the complexity of his post aren't really matched by anyone. He doesn't rpg for recognition, but he recieves the less because everyone scratches everyone's back. So back to your question, I don't even care who the "next big" rpger will be; because "US BIG" rpger's are overrated. Read a back in the day gloom post and you'll see that these big names amount to nothing when someone is writing for the recreation of it.
Is there any character from the vine that when you look at him or her you can't help but to think "Damn, I wish I had thought of that"?
Only one that comes to mind is Portrait. I have ALOT of character over 600 now, but i don't have one like hers. So out of sheer respect I'll never create one.
Is there any specific process you go through when creating characters?
Not really, I can create a legitimate character based off anything. I have to be listening to music though. LOL IT just sets the mood, you know hahaa
Have you ever written characters that don't belong to you? (DC, Marvel, etc)
I have written as Black Widow, Supergirl and Rikku from FF. I've written as Namine from Kingdom hearts and Abu from aladdin, also Kaa from the jungle book"
Has there been any character that has been harder for you to write?
It's hard for me to write human characters. If i do they have you be evil human characters.
Follow up: Why is that?
I suck at putting raw emotion into human characters, IT's easier for me if i have some sort of "crises" to make them go through. Also it's just that some of my best writing comes with villains. I'm a bad girl lol
Final Question: Do you have any advise for the new generation of rpgers?
I do, don't get caught up in the whole "I want to be a legend" thing. Do what you do for fun, and be content with your work. As long as I'm around i'll gladly help anyone.
Thanks for everything
Nope, thank you!
