"There are an estimated 6,000 people living in the Elitian Underworks. We estimate that at least 2,000 of them are sex offenders who got loose during the turmoil way back. My name is PJ Drake, and my job is to hunt through the city's worst stretch of real estate in order to find some of its worst offenders..."
From a new script I'm working on...

Connected to the Negative, the web that connects all human suffering, Syd Lennox had a miserable life until one fateful night when she was granted the ability to see and touch the suffering. The Negative, it turns out, is an untapped wellspring of energy, and she now siphons that energy to become Virago, a vigilante dedicated to stopping corruption and terrorism and anything else that feeds the Negative. Of course, it remains unseen what destroying this web will ultimately do to the natural order, but at the moment that is not Virago's main concern...

Virago is basically the character previously known as Dire, albeit with more mystical origins and powers. "Virago" is defined in my dictionary as a either a loud and overbearing woman or a strong and brave one, so I thought it kinda fits. There's a little of both definitions in this particular Virago - on the one hand, she's protecting people and doing other good works, but on the other end, her powers are fueled by human suffering... |

Another pic of my character Virago, this one demonstrating one of her unique abilities: "Blood Vision". With this power, she is able to see how a violent crime happened. It's a bit limited - it takes a lot of effort to use and at her current skill level, it doesn't show her the culprit. But it can reveal other things. In this case, for instance - a rape/murder - it has shown her that there was another woman present, suggesting an accomplice...

| Weakling of Mars!

This is from a spoof of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars stories that I've been writing. The Mars stories almost always have the brave, infallible hero rescuing the princess, who is somewhere in the running for "Most Beautiful Martian Woman". Of course, my story, set in a Barsoom that has become hideously commercialized, has as its hero Rathis, a lowly office drone and sad sack whose most heroic deed was fixing the TV in the breakroom. He has a stroke of luck when Asmara, the daughter of his boss, takes a liking to him, but then she gets kidnapped, and he is forced to rescue her (or at the very least find a willing quest-subcontractor), facing off against the green savages, white apes, and Republicans (who arrived in Barsoom after Obama attempted to banish them to Mars.) It'll probably end up being a rip-off of Discworld if I ever actually make any progress in it, but maybe not.
I'm pretty pleased with how this one turned out. The real coup I think is Rathis' horrified expression, contrasted with the look of resignation on Asmara's face. |
