So this is the topic where we talk about inspirations for our various characters. No slander no banter. Only helpful and positive comments here. So here's mine:

Slamfist: No one
Overmind: No one
Shamgarel: No one
Mosh: Dante in look and weapons
Gregor: Nero in look and weapons
Malady: Virgil in look and weapons
Amable: Wolfwood in look and weapons
Tyr: Fireon from Dissidia in look and weapons
Ravenous: No one
Teiji Yoritomo: Mitsurugi in look and weapons, formerly Kento Rei Faun in looks

Dr.Everyone- Absolutely nothing.

Nightkill- Very, VERY loosely based off DBZ Cell.

Keravnos - None... there was no god of lightning in Greek mythology. Zeus' category was lightning.

Tobais can be linked to FMA. But I kinda wanna change the history a little bit. and the pic, maybe make him a little older. (Since mike and rick kinda suggested a fma story, when I said I had no history at the time.)

Cassiel is loosely (and coincidently) based off a card series we made

Okay, my turn!

Karma is based on both the Gunslinger (Roland) from the Dark Tower trilogy, Lobo and Ghost Rider.
Acedion (sloth) is based on practically every single 80's Goth and some other nightmarish things (no offence, goth kids).
Gauss is based on Necron Gauss Rifles and the Matrix.

Entropus is based off of Hayden Christensen's character from the movie "Jumper".

Obsidior - No one.

Ferrum - Magneto in powers and costume, but good ol' Ed Norton in looks.

Ekko - No one really that I can think of but he looks like MK Smoke

Michael is based off of "Jet Black" from "Cowboy Bebop"

My character.... is based of the growth on my toe...in powers to mystify and smell funny.

Add one to one for joey jordison from slipknot for me. It derived from an Idea between me and Slamfist to make a superhero band. We each had a character. I had and I made the drummer.

So I now have 5 characters:

Tobais Kado: Fma history lightly
Cassiel: Card series
Gunslinger: Nothing but an original artwork of mine
Katachi Koutai: Used Starcraft for vague identity but not considered a reference.
Joey Jordison: Slipknot
Maya Natsume: Monster Humter

:EDIT: Tobais No longer resembles FMA in any from except concept of generic powers: Alchemy

Blood Wraith: Deadpool in powers and no idea on looks just pretty much anyone with a mask that i like

Xyron has always been an Idea in my head, though he was never truly personified until City of Heroes helped bring my creation to life. But I think this site alone is proof that Angelic characters are anything but original.

Chainer's visual concept was based on a mix of characters from the Magic the Gathering universe, but his story is all me. Well, assuming a sword-wielding fanatic Otaku is original in any sense. Again, creds to CoH for bringing him to life.

Meteo was the brainchild of me and my brother, literally. He created Max, and I created Alex. When I decided to make the jump to RP with him, I couldnt leave Max behind. Best way to put 2 characters into the RP at the same time? Associative Identity Disorder. Boom. Done.

Another DT reader! Praise the man Jeeesus and say thankee! Have you finished it yet?

I've read it only 19 times.

For me, my character was designed after two people.

1. The initial character that inspired me was Hit-girl from the movie Kick-ass. I liked how she was "John Rambo meets Polly Pocket", and designed my character to be a young girl similarly.

2. The powers somewhat come from Kitty Pryde, from X-Men. While Kitty can go through any substance, walls, people, ect. Mist is more designed to have things go through or around her, which is the reverse. Unlike Kitty, she can't go through walls or solid objects.
