Description A nifty one-stop guide to all things Vigil

And yes, I've probably left out some important detail and made lots of speeling mistooks.

Here's another random question: How old is she?

Kostmeyer In reply to zephrania [2008-11-04 22:00:29 +0000 UTC]

OL! The hits just keep on coming!

Well nothing decided finally yet. Emotionally and physically she's late teens - early twenties I guess, but as she's from a far distant future in which the human race may live substantially longer, she may actually be chronologically older.

How's that for a neatly dodged answer?

I know, I'm sorry. I tend to spam out questions when an oc interests me... *hangs head in shame*

That's pretty good. I just wanted a general idea wether she was near the 20's or 40's. XD And I still have no idea. Lawl.

XD You probably shouldn't have said that, because it'll more than likely mean tons of questions in the future.

This is a really random question I know, but it just popped into my head and wont leave me alone:

Can Vigil dance?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Kostmeyer In reply to zephrania [2008-11-04 16:02:32 +0000 UTC]

lol - that is pretty random! I would imagine yes - probably something dignified and slow like ballet or something - can't see her doing the macarena...

zephrania In reply to Kostmeyer [2008-11-04 16:07:07 +0000 UTC]

I know, I donno where it came from.

So court dancing? Well I guess that's a given if she's royal.

Kostmeyer In reply to zephrania [2008-11-04 16:11:32 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I guess so! Interesting question though - now I'm wondering if I could work it into a story!

zephrania In reply to Kostmeyer [2008-11-04 18:02:26 +0000 UTC]

That would certainly be interesting to see.

On the other hand, then there's the oc speeddating jam Angel crusher's hosting. You could always hijack some dude that can dance.

Kostmeyer In reply to zephrania [2008-11-04 18:19:03 +0000 UTC]

lol - the dates are random... can't see Vigil dancing with the guy she's got landed with!

zephrania In reply to Kostmeyer [2008-11-04 18:42:14 +0000 UTC]

Well technicly you can choose to do other people too. I started on a picture for it before the random date thing came in, I'm intending to finish it.

*Shrugs* so if you have the time, you could do it.

Kostmeyer In reply to zephrania [2008-11-04 18:43:36 +0000 UTC]

I dunno - I don't think its in her nature to just start dancing about - there would have to be a storylined reason I think. We'll see!

zephrania In reply to Kostmeyer [2008-11-04 19:06:03 +0000 UTC]

Well if you really need an excuse I know Magus would probably be one to ask her for a dance, he probably ain't the only one XD but yes, we'll see.

And never wanted to know either? Actually doing this was a big help to me in drawing together a lot of random ideas I had but hadn't quite decided on. All building up for the big comic launch!

great reference pic man.
ANd OMG!!! I was in a comicbook store in london, and i saw an old comic and the character on the cover looked exactly like Vigil! I cant remember the name of the comic, it was like wolf something, darkness....something...i cant remember. i shoulda bought it. ^_^

Kostmeyer In reply to AngelCrusher [2008-06-16 12:32:52 +0000 UTC]

What was she doing? I'm hoping she wasn't a psychic - the design id fairly (extremely) simple but I'm hoping the similarities were only visual!

AngelCrusher In reply to Kostmeyer [2008-06-16 14:57:31 +0000 UTC]

SHe seemed to be in distress, and i think something was behind her, possibly attacking her, or she was summoning something behind her...i dont remember, but she seemed quite old. not granny old, but 40 maybe.

cool reference yo, s'good to find out some vigil facts that I wasn't aware of
the way you describe her costume reminds me of the yoga view of the body, in that we have 5 "sheaths" ... a physical body, a karma body, a consciousness body etc ... interesting stuff

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Kostmeyer In reply to KatCardy [2008-06-10 15:54:03 +0000 UTC]

Wow that's really interesting - sort of links in to Vigil's 'mind over matter' ethos doesn't it. Might have to investigate this further! Glad you like this anyway - hopefully it will come in handy for August!

KatCardy In reply to Kostmeyer [2008-06-11 13:02:41 +0000 UTC]

if you're interested in learning more research the "pancha kosha" that's the indian name for the 5 sheeths :] here could be a good place to start: [link]

Kostmeyer In reply to KatCardy [2008-06-12 20:40:03 +0000 UTC]

That's really interesting - thanks for sending the link (and sorry for delay in responding - I wanted to read it properly first!) I don't think I'll make any direct link to this in the comic - partly because I'm not sure I completely understand it and I don't want to offend anyone if I get it wrong! However it does make a lot of sense that Vigil's powers are in some way linked to a deeper understanding/self control. I've already drawn pictures of Vigil in meditation poses (The Bill fight from the last AFL fight for example) and I might reference yoga a little more in the comic - not directly - but imply some kind of connection - I don't know. It certainly seems to suit her

KatCardy In reply to Kostmeyer [2008-06-13 10:53:32 +0000 UTC]

aye, it certainly does! If you need anymore insight or research or whatever let me know, I'm doing a correspondence course on Yoga and it's full of fascinating ideas like this

Kostmeyer In reply to KatCardy [2008-06-13 10:58:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot - I may well take you up on that once the comic gets going.

KatCardy In reply to Kostmeyer [2008-06-13 11:07:39 +0000 UTC]


I've learnt about really cool things, like breathatarians (people who don't eat actual food! o.O ) different breathing techniques/hand postiions which have many different controlling effects over different aspects of the body system, and meditation tecniques which activate the human/newer parts of our brains (because many of us are still existing out of our old animal/reptillian brains) ... and many many more stuff! it's great :]
