THE 31 CHARACTERS 31 DAYS CHALLENGE DAY SIXTEEN

This event is to create 31 characters, one for every day in May, that will be featured in an upcoming project I’m working on tentatively called Strikeforce Liberty.   It is to raise money for RAINN (The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network).  If you donate here, you will have the option to sponsor a character (the list of remaining names is below) or give me a name to create a character for.  In these times, where the Alt-Right is attacking a woman’s right to her own body, we need to support organizations like this.

I am still looking for artists who are willing to donate a little time to make a sketch--it doesn’t have to be an elaborate finished product--visualizing these guys.  I don’t want to present a parade of Hero Machine’d lookalikes.  If you’d like to participate, please DM me through Twitter (@NocturneTomDeja).

If you are a Domicile of Dread Patreon, you’ll get a short podcast discussing the creation process for each character.  I made one of these podcasts available to the general public here.  If you’d like to hear all of these podcasts, get other exclusive goodies like reviews and essays, and can spare at least a dollar a month to support my efforts to Make The World Stranger, go here to sign up.

Please enjoy, and please donate.

This is a monster from a film called JANE DOE.
It's just a placeholder.
JANE DOE
Name: Inapplicable
Location: Mobile
Occupation: Predator

There are some people so isolated from regular society that they might as well not exist.  They become voids, and sink into the aether to die in obscurity.

But then there are some who find a way out of their isolation, who wreck havoc on others’ lives for before disappearing suddenly.

Those people aren’t people.  They are shells worn by the thing that is known as Jane Doe.

Jane Doe is an otherdimensional being who feeds off of and preys upon the despair and desperation of the extremely isolated and lonely.  It consumes its victims and wears their skins for a period of time.  It lives the life of the person it consumes, alters him or her and disrupts the society around it.  Sometimes to prolong the nourishment, it will kill someone close to that person.  Sometimes it will commit a massive and horrific act of violence and stalk the mourners of the slain.  It lives solely to sow grief and doubt amongst the cattle that make up humanity.

No one knows exactly what Jane Doe would look like outside of the flesh shells it lives inside.  But somebody is going to have to find out...or Jane Doe will go on forever.
