wierd characters

One thing I rarely talk about is how weird some of my character ideas are. Today i am going to do just that. Many of you might wonder how my character come to be, the only thing I can tell you is that they usually come from a random series of thoughts, and are formed into a more cohesive form afterward.
Here are three of my weirder ideas.


White Hand
White hand is freaky on so many levels, but we will start with his looks. He is somewhat faceless, he only has eyes, no nose, no mouth, no ears, and no hair. His skin is pure white, and he walks around in a brown trench coat, and wears a scarf even in the summer. to further his weird looks, he has no hair on his arms, or frankly any part of him, not even "peach fuzz".


If his looks were not freaky enough, the rest of him is even freakier. He has a desire to read books, but not let others read them. He is constantly gathering books for himself. through theft, sale, and many other means. His desires get more severe as the story progresses. He wants every last piece of text. He also has an ability to "blank" any book, electric text, or magazine, anything with text in a room. he does this by place his hand firmly down on a book. the result is his white hand-print is left on the book, and everything else blanks out.

The idea stemmed from my wondering what it would be like if someone started systematically wrecking today's literature, and erased all forms of text in favor of pictures and videos. This world comes to a reality in the book except for a small group known as the worms. The worms are smuggling away every last bit of literature so they may recover it after the white hand is gone.


Rang
Rang is the ruthless leader of the Predators. He is a superhuman, and one of the best at killing. His freakishness is much more subtle than White Hand. He is the master of weaponry. He however prefers oddball weapons, and sometimes even mythical weapons. He is the arch nemesis of Krazor, and is best known for his philosophy. He knows he is a murdering, pirating criminal, and doesn't care; instead he embraces it wholeheartedly.

His goal is to keep the heroes viewed as criminals, so that other super humans will be too busy hiding to fight him. He goes about this by staging battles that kill tons of innocents in the streets of major cities. He has been the number one source of crime amongst all of the super-humans.

I came up with him mostly by accident. He was formed out of several older characters. His philosophy was actually designed to make him seem like a twisted freak.


Rewerb Mada
Though her name is my pen name backward, she is my freakiest. She was merely a character in a world where there were nothing but war like elf people. they were immortal, and they always shown light through their skin.
She loses her family to an army of monsters. her village goes with them, and she soon learns that the entire elf race is gone but her. She finds a portal and gets locked into an ice world.

Aaanndd her story stops there. To clarify: she was locked in this ice world for 10 years with nothing but one meal a day showing up mysteriously on the footsteps of a pure gold palace. She falls into extreme depression, and has thoughts of revenge. this is where it all gets really weird. she escapes this world and finds herself in our world. more specificly in the apartment of her author who was away on vacation. she reads her incomplete book,a nd realizes that the author is to blame for her predicament.

Se learns about authors and how many books involve characters dying, worlds destroyed, people's lives ruined, and she grows angry at this entire world. She vows t destroy all authors starting with her own.

Her story has always stemmed from my thought of: What if the character we make were alive, and would they really be as obedient as we desire?


Hope you all enjoyed this list.

Wow, White Hand sounds both weird and amazing at the same time. May I just ask WHY Rewerb Mada doesn't have her story written yet?! (Don't let her know that she's freaky, or she might kill us all. jk. Sort of.)
