THE 31 CHARACTERS 31 DAYS CHALLENGE DAY TWENTY SIX

And I just keep on going, even though technically, I failed the challenge.  Shouldn’t penalize RAINN for this, though.

This event is to create 31 characters, one for every day in May (although it looks like, due to my depression, that said event will bleed into early June) , 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 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.

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.

ACE OF BLADES

Name: Zandra Wessex
Location: East St. Louis, IL
Occupation: Presently Between Jobs

The Four Aces patrolled the night in one of the roughest cities in the country.  They were successful, and were seen as a beacon of hope.  The four siblings, trained in martial arts from a very early age, enjoyed their lives and basked in the fame it afforded them.

But then Serpentine rolled into town led by their leader The Deathless Brain.  The Four Aces were just four young people; this crew had highly advanced weapons, super-powered thugs and a mastermind capable of possessing other people.  They were not prepared for this kind of fight.
This is the original Ace of Blades...

They fought hard, but they lost.  By the time the smoke had cleared, two Aces were dead, a third was commandeered by the Brain, and Zandra was in the hospital for a month.

When she recovered, she knew she had to elevate her game.  She carries the weapons of her brothers and sister in their memory and has been seeking out ways to make her on par with the monsters that were out there.  It has caused her to delve into some dark corners of this world...and she met a woman named Will who might find her something interesting....


Next: A certain Twisted Girl Next Store has agreed to take on the villainous role of the mirth-destroying KillJoy!

Supposedly, Steve Gerber had no idea for what he could write as his contribution to the Ultraverse. Sure, he was doing Exiles , but that was...
