Description
Here is the first of a series of 6 pictures my brother *FawkesTheSkarmory is doing. The first three are complete, while the fourth and fifth ones have yet to be colored.

"There hasn't been a day without me wondering how would cyberspace look like if it was an actual world. A grid? A digital frontier? A matrix? I tried to picture a massive information superhighway; how would the individual bits of data look like as they flew through the air? I kept imagining a world I thought no one could ever reach. And then one day...

doc got me in."

We all know the classic Looney Tunes cast, like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, etc. But what about their children? Meet Flynn Bunny, the computer-savvy 24-year-old son of media mogul Bugs Bunny. A rebellious programmer by trade, he is secretly fascinated with the infinite possibilities the Digital World can bring. With the help of his PhD program advisor, Doc. Ace Bradley, he and his friends are pulled into the very world he'd hoped to see, a world he could never have imagined possibly visiting. But soon, he discovers that with great opportunity also comes great responsibility and he soon finds himself and his newfound comrades as superpowered heroes, endowed with special abilites. With the looming threat of the rogue factions of the Internet, they must embark on an increasingly dangerous life-or-death journey across the cyberterrain to save this world... and perhaps their own as well. And as their powers begin to manifest in the real world, whether it will change their lives for the better or for the worse, that is up to them to decide.

Bio:

A little bit of backstory on this one: the first incarnation of Bugs Bunny was in 1938, about the same time as the very first programmable computer, the Z1 developed by Konrad Zuse. While Bugs Bunny made money through his acting career, he secretly retained a fascination with this new-fangled technology, a trait shared by his own son. After retiring from the silver screen, he dove headfirst into his true passions with a startup company from his garage. It soon proved successful enough that he caught the eye of Acme Corporation. He soon rose to the ranks and eventually became CEO, his first moves as such being to totally revolutionize the company to take advantage of this new, lucrative industry. His stellar leadership soon propelled Acme (now renamed Apex Corporation) straight to the top 5 of the Forbes 500, and he became a multibillionaire.

Soon, he finally married Lola Bunny in 1983, and two years later, they had a son, who they named Flynn. Within a few years, it became clear that he had inherited his father's quick wit, intellect, and leadership qualities, along with his mother's compassion, physical fitness, and feisty temper; he soon developed his own creative spark, and Bugs was quick to capitalize on their mutual passion with all things digital. He had a very good relationship with his father, the latter taking him to the arcade and playing sports whenever they had freetime.

He sailed through his academic career, virtually skipping middle school; at the age of 13, he was the youngest student to attend Acme Polytechnic Institute. Near graduation, he met Dæren Duck, two years his senior, and starting out as a freshman at API; they became fast and close friends and remain so to this very day. He graduated with a degree in Computer Science with a minor in Biotechnology, and went straight into the CS PhD program. When the time came to choose an advisor, he immediately became enamored with Dr. Ace Bradley, who specialized in computer simulation and was a close family friend. He proved to be a charismatic prodigy even in the rigorous academic environment of the PhD program, and he earned the respect of the other students of Dr. Bradley's lab, even the somewhat stoic Bill E. Coyote.

His stipend, along with the generous financial backing his wealthy family provided, eventually enabled him to move out of the dorm complexes. His choice of housing, though, was quite unusual for a rich boy like himself. During his graduate studies, he once read a magazine article about going green, and one of the ideas was retrofitting a shipping container as a home. He promptly had a nice, modern riverside shipping container house built near the campus grounds, but on top of that, using ideas often thrown around in the lab, took it one step further and found ways to get his own free electricity, water, heating, wi-fi internet, and other utilities; basically, he soon was living for free and he was quick to take advantage (of course, his parents bought him that small piece of land so that he could place the container, and grow his own produce all the while).

SPOILER ALERT: Details below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.

During his final quarter in the PhD program, he finally completed his senior dissertation and was about to present it to his professors, including Dr. Bradley. It went well... and as "bonus credit" he also presented a surprise of his own: a full beta version of a video game he had been making during his spare time (which explains why it took so long for him to do his project). It proved quite an addictive thing, and he passed with flying colors. At that moment, Dr. Bradley knew that Flynn was finally ready for his final experiment...

Personality:

Like his father, he is cunning, charismatic, and intelligent, qualities that have helped him in the past during his college years. Only during his time as a superhero did his compassion, flexibility, and firm sense of justice he inherited from his mother truly shone and these qualities combined makes him a great leader for the Legacy team. Whether he also inherited his father's mannerisms ("what's up doc?") or whether these were insidiously and subliminally planted in his mind by his father (That would probably be the greatest prank Bugs ever did ), well just leave it to your imagination.

Relationships:

He has one sister, Coraline "Cora" Bunny, with whom he has a good relationship. His best friend is Dæren Duck, though he also maintains a friendly relationship with his coworker Bill E. Coyote. The other members of the Legacy team are also on friendly terms with him and treat him with respect as their leader. Finally, he loves his parents very much, visiting their home from time to time.

Powers:

In the digital world, he has shown two different abilities thus far, sort of like cheat modes in video games:

Sysadmin Permission: Bradley and Bugs must have really favored Flynn for this role, since applying this to Flynn's RSI would be very hard work at the very least. The digital/physical conversion algorithms modify his being to give him the ability to freely manipulate the digital reality that is cyberspace, similar to the authority of a system administrator for the entire digital universe. He can move any object by pure force of will alone, fly at amazing speeds, jump great differences, and de-rez programs at will (this takes considerable effort depending on the program). Basically, he is the Neo of Toon Legacy's Matrix.

Third eye: One of his characteristic abilities is to shoot laserbeams from his "third eye" (the blue ring on his forehead). When this is about to happen, the center dot in the eye lights up. He has three different modes, focused (from the dot alone), shotgun (a wide burst from the whole eye) and rapid fire. He can also "see" somewhat through this marking. He also has similar markings on his hands, which serve similar function.

SPOILER ALERT: Details below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.

Soon, abilities in the real world began to manifest (he began to use, on average, more than 20% of the neurons of his brain at any given instant). They are real-life analogs of the abilities in the digital world, modified due to inherent physical limitations.

Third eye IRL: Soon after the first few visits to cyberspace, his hands and forehead began to itch uncontrollably. This was soon followed by the surprise manifestation of the real-life variation of the "Third eye" ability, which resulted in black, perfectly circular burn scars on his palms and his forehead (hidden due to the fur on his head). He is also immune to the blasts, which explains why his forehead hair was not burned off every time he used this power. His blasts are more concussive in nature, but he can also burn things with them; an additional mode only contains the ability to the scars on his hands, heating them up until they are like red-hot branding irons. Unlike in the digital world, he cannot see using the markings.

Ocular enhancement: With every de-digitization, the number of rods and cones in his eyes increase to the point that he can see not only in the dark, but also in infrared and ultraviolet spectra. He can also (with some effort) read the text on microfilms with the naked eye. His irises and retina are also much more adaptable, enabling him to see underwater (akin to the Moken people of the Andaman sea, who are able to do this because their pupils can contract to abnormally small levels) and to withstand staring into the sun. Finally, his sense of temporal and optical perception have improved to the point that he could see bullets as they whiz through the air (i.e. perceive things in bullet time).

Well that's all folks, see you on the Grid!
