Description So I'll be using this format to illustrate some new characters, major or minor, and show them to the world. It's simple, but it's clean.

Polyvanni was inspired by the fact that I didn't really have a "standout" character. Oscar had Izzy, Bliz had Marx. Heck, my flagship series is about groups of people that look the same! Everyone had a team of sorts & I wanted a character that didn't fit in with the others. I sketched literal dozens of characters but this one stood out to me particularly...

Polyvanni's design was obviously inspired by the 64-bit era of gaming. Not part of any type of species, group or experiment, Polyvanni's origin is largely ambigious. Being based of late-90's video games, he talks in a 'radically tubular' way. In-universe, he's less of a urban myth, but more a part of society that everyone seems to be indifferent to.

My god, what if I gathered all my one-off characters into a superhero league with Polyvanni as the front runner! Give me your feedback on the character and this idea! I need all the help I can get!

It won't be long before Polyvanni evokes nostalgia, so it works that he should be a leader of other 'one off' characters.

Why, thanks very much!
I designed the character to reference a certain time period, but remain timeless. Giving him a actual face and design would bring in multimedia and a time point, so evoking nostalgia while making him something new was definitely a key factor.
