Description
It is sign up time for 's forth AFL! With this addition comes a temptation from me to join up. I don't know how far I'll get, I'll be shocked if I make it past the first stages, but hell... it's all for fun right? So I thought why not enter. Whilst I was tempted to bring in Blaze or Eclipse for this, I thought otherwise, wishing to bring in someone else in to get a bit of spotlight for what will surely be a brutal competition!But this is where I need help, as I'm a little stuck on who I should enter into this year's AFL. I've managed to bring it down to three nominations. The recently turned heroine, Fira, the villainous Stone and the enigma that is Dr. Kane's Prototype. I am in a good mind to use one of these three a little more over the other two, but I wanted to get the opinion of you guys to see who you'd like to witness in AFL. I've tried to do some pro's and cons for each of them, so let's have a very brief rundown of the potentials...
-Fira- (left)
Powers:- Ability to conjure and control fire at will, also more physically advanced then a typical human, capable of flight along with immunity to various elements.
Pros:
- The storyline I intend to create for Fira makes her easily capable of fitting into the AFL contest, leaving plenty of room to develop the character as the competition progresses.
- Her powers I think will make her an interesting entry, as well as a potentially worthy opponent for others.
Cons:
- Her use of fire might make it difficult to end a fight without thinking of something unique every time. There is no killing in this addition of AFL, which will mean my fire user will have to hold back with her powers somewhat. Might not be a true con, since it will be good to think of unique ways to try and end a fight if Fira ends up on top, but worth noting.
- - Fira is a very new character, her personality is still being developed for some part, so it is hard to know if she will have any support.
-
Stone (Middle)
Powers:- Yurla of Stone is a brute through and through. Superhuman strength and fortitude with the ability to increase her size and mass, capable of becoming double her original size and mass.
Pros:
- Yurla is easy to enter, capable of coming up with any excuse to enter the AFL given she is very sadistic and enjoys a good fight. Whilst her story for entering may be weak, there is a chance to further develop the character and finally explore her origins.
- - Though her power set is basic, there is still lots of interesting things that can be done with the character during fight scenes. Her persona will also make her ideal in a fight as she is good with trash talking, hopefully capable of making up for some interesting fights.
Cons:
- Going into Stone’s background whilst she takes part may potentially give big spoilers to a current storyline I’m making with Branded-Curse. So going into her background will show spoilers to something in Broken Alliance.
- - Though Yurla would be an interesting choice, she is probably my last choice on a personal level between Fira and Prototype. However I am still considering using her despite this, making her still a strong contender for the sign up.
Dr Kane’s Prototype
Powers:- Not fully known. Seems to possess an ability to resurrect on Dr. Kane’s command, also possessing high resistance to physical damage. It is strong, mobile and fast despite its large size. Prototype has additional appendages in the form of four tentacles.
Pros:
- An interesting villain that I really wouldn’t mind pitting against others. For one, it also leaves room for potential peril for enemies on occasion, which would no doubt appeal to the large number of my watches.
- - Prototype would be the most unique choice out of the three potentials, giving a chance to shine some light on the character.
Cons:
- Hard to fit him in storyline wise, as Dr. Kane would not have a real reason to field his Prototype except for perhaps wanting to test his capabilities. Even then it’s hard to imagine him fielding his Prototype when it’s in such an early stage of development story wise.
- - Fielding Prototype could reveal spoilers I don’t yet wish to reveal, given his story is quite key to a current project I am doing with Kostmeyer in Catacombs of Kane. I’d have to be very careful using him, and unfortunately hold back significantly with his character. I think he could still be entered though if I am careful, though already there is much I haven’t said about Prototype given it will reveal much.
So here is the very basic basic basic run down of the characters I am thinking of entering. Of course only one can be used, and when they are chosen I will give a much more in-depth bio for the entrant. I will be honest when I say Fira so far is probably the choice I have in mind at the moment, but the other two are still strong contenders and I wouldn’t mind entering either of the three. I can only spend a few days thinking as I’ll have to enter one of them before the end of the month.
I’d really like to hear the opinion of you guys, who would you like to see in AFL 4 should I enter? I hope you don’t mind taking the time to respond to this. It would also be a great help if you could tell me why you would like one of these entrants to join should you select one you prefer. I will listen to the say of all of you and really take your words into consideration when it comes to my choice.
So who will it be?
Flame wielding Fira?
Bone crushing Stone?
Or the mysterious and dangerous Prototype?
Please reply with what you guys and girls think, I would really appreciate it.

I think you'd probably enjoy drawing Fira more, but it would be nice to see more of Prototype - AFL-ing him would be an interesting way to develop his character/see how he responds to different circumstances too. Might give us some ideas for Catacombs of Kane! But you should definitely choose the one you like working with most.

Well it was a very close call between these three people, initially I would have gave Fira a slight edge to be entered, but having heard a variety of opinions and also after having a look at the cast entered so far, I'm thinking now that it most likley will be Prototype that gets entered. He seems unique enough and unusual enough to fit right into the AFL. That and I won't feel so bad if I get absolutley slaughtered since he's a villain
Will you be entering AFL this time?

Probably not this time - I'd love to, but there comes a point when you have to say 'I'm doing too many projects' - and I've not been very good at that up until now!

I don't see why Stone isn't getting more love, because I feel that in a fighting competition, she has the greatest over all potential! Her look is fantastic, and I really want to see how her powers work! I say Stone, hands down!

Out of the three, she probably could be the developed the most during the competition. But then every single one of them has a good shout at getting some good development throughout. It's really hard to choose out of them all as I'd enter any of them

All three amazingly brilliant and beautiful, and you can't go wrong with any choice.
My vote is "Dr Kane’s Prototype".

The other two are gorgeous, so think nothing of my preference. However, I always tend toward the slimier, greener characters. Plus he has the tentacle vibe going for him and I always loved Doc Ock. He's just big mean and green and right up my alley. I also lean towards the Lovecraftian types. He's just damn cool! Although, I will drool over your pieces no matter who you choose.

Heh, fair to say! Thank you very much for your input! I've still not decieded on who to use, I thought this would be one sided, but everyone has a different preference and opinion, it's not making my choice any easier after all that.

I know, I thought about putting a bunch of possibilities up to, but I feel it would go the same way. You will ultimately choose the one you want, or maybe the one you don't mind drawing over and over. OR the one you want to see in everyone else's style.

Branded-Curse [2010-08-08 14:24:51 +0000 UTC]
Hmm, that's a tough one indeed ...
Okay, I think I would go with Fira! As your newest heroine she sure as hell deserves some time to shine. Getting out of Blaze's and Eppy's shadows will be hard enough, you should give her her moment ASAP.

thedude255 In reply to Branded-Curse [2010-08-08 20:29:10 +0000 UTC]
Very fair notion. As I've been saying a few times its actually pretty close. All three characters are getting what seems to be generally even support

Stone is my least favorite in terms of character design. Fira looks like a pretty cool character, plus it's always fun drawing women (especially hot ones). Prototype is very interesting in design from what I can see, but would need to see a full body shot to make a proper decision. He looks different enough to include in the tournament though (with what look like tentacles of some sort). So, I would say: Prototype as my first choice, then Fira as a second choice.

thedude255 In reply to mja42x [2010-08-08 20:24:35 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, it seems to take people a bit of time to warm up to Stone. The storyline I have for her might prove to be interesting, but once more I think her initial design can throw people off. Fira, whilst not completley new, is certainly stepping up now as a more involved character, and this tourney will be good for her I think with my characters Blaze and Eclipse already in other projects. Prototype is pretty much the dark horse here in the sense that much of his story hasn't been revealed yet. You can see more of him in some past work and more recently in Kostmeyer's latest work.
Thanks for giving me your input though, I really appriciate it. The way its looking, its gonna be a lot closer then I first thought on making a choice!
