So, I am the proud owner of ELEVEN Subetan species. Each one's character is a super hero/villain, with the same backstory for how they received their powers. Across Subeta exists ancient, mystical talismans that are nearly identical except each one has a different Subeta pet embellished on both sides. Each of these supers came across a talisman at some point in their life, and unlocked its power which gave them abilities based on the species of the talisman. I'm a little stuck with some of these characters, and I thought I'd ask for some opinions, mostly for colors, but I'm also open to suggestions for superhero names/aliases. Here's what I have so far and what I need help with:
Need color suggestions for: Manchu: "Qiao Lei"/Female/26yrs/Hero/Enhanced Fighting Abilities (agility/strength/stamina/speed/etc) + Ability to predict opponent's next move/No alias yet, open to suggestions/Pro Boxer both before and after receiving powers, tries not to use her powers to her advantage while in the ring, lives in Centropolis, parents from Shengui-Guo, abandoned by mother, lived with father until he passed recently from unknown disease (idk yet), fights crime in his honor, they had a shaky relationship since he disapproved of her fighting style, felt it dishonored her ancestors, and she disapproved of his superstitions. He purchased the Manchu talisman in the hopes of bringing good luck while he fought his disease. Lei received her powers while trying to dispose of the talisman.
Wyllop: "Rida"/Female/9yrs/Hero/Size Manipulation/"Resize"?? Best alias I could come up with, open to suggestions/mute, orphaned street urchin living in the allies of Saherimos's souk, stole talisman from a shop, is caught by the shopkeeper- an older man who also possesses superpowers, is adopted by man and becomes his sidekick, they receive their powers at the same time Chibi seems like an obvious choice, but I'm not really feeling it?
Dillema: All I know about him is that he's a male villain who goes by "Dilemma." If you think you know of a good super power to match that species+name and a good color to go with it, I'm all ears!
Warador: Male/Villain/illusion manipulation, possibly also reality manipulation?/"Warlock"/No background, yet
Also looking for suggestions for Archan + Hipottu + Darkonite + Dragarth. I'm at a complete loss with them. No powers yet, no pet colors, no background stories. I'm pretty sure I want Darkonite to be bad and every one else to be good and I don't want Dragarth to be a pyro, that's about it.
EDIT: I also want to keep a variety of colors. I don't want all my villains to be nightmare, y'know? I've already got a villain (Pherret aka The Phantom Pherret) who is a nightmare and a hero (Donadak, no alias yet, open to suggestions, has ability to manipulate earth + seismic sense, is basically Toph) who is graveyard
Manchu: I'm gonna say darkmatter. Some day you might want to make/buy an overlay of her holding the talisman instead of that darkmatter blob. She'll look as if she is trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
Wyllop: My first choice would be graveyard, since she lived on the streets, it would look as if she were beaten and battered. Alternatively, glacier might work if you're looking for a different color.
Dillema: Almost any color of dillema would work, honestly xD I would go with bloodred and maybe make him a bloodsucker of some sort? IDK oh, he could be a cannibal! (Alias: Dameon?)
Warador: Nostalgic, Blacklight, or storm would fit well with the illusion-manipulation theme, I think. (Alias: Hector?)
Archan, Hippotu, and Dragarth I have no clue about o:
Darkonite: I would say nightmare, storm, or darkmatter. I think he would make an awesome Commander-of-Shadows. He would command all sorts of shadow creatures and soldiers. (Alias: Sebastian or Lucian?)
Those are some really great ideas! I was totally going about Warador the wrong way - Nostalgic is PERFECT!! I can't believe I didn't think of it, but that's exactly why I posted on the forum, ahaha.
That's the problem I have with Dillema (actually, Warador, too) - too many great color options, I can't narrow it down! Bloodred is definitely a possibility. I'm actually hoping Dillemas get a revamp soon, and not just the color fills. xD I'd almost go with darkmatter for him, but the art is so outdated and is begging for a revamp.
I'm also dying for subetapedia articles to get released for Dillema/Archan/Hipottu/Dragarth. I need inspiration.
I didn't realize storm darkonites existed, but they look pretty cool. o: Something shadow-y actually makes perfect sense, though I don't know about the army of shadow creatures thing, as I already have Legeica, who can summon spirits (as well as other spiritual-y stuff).
Darkmatter Manchu is an interesting idea. I don't have much time for art, at the moment, but I'll have to see what I can come up with overlay-wise.
