Chadius:Webcomic Idea

Major Characters

There are four characters. They're roughly supposed to represent my four major quirks.

Mento

Confidence, Incurable Romantic, Father

Real Name: Nate Menta

Age: 28

Height: Kinda short

Weight: Thin, no real muscle tone

Mento is a single father dedicated to protecting the innocents of his fair city. He is also looking for that special someone to spend the rest of his life with, although he hasn't had much luck. He only seems to attract the dangerous types.

He loves his adopted son, Jack. They fight crime together, and Mento is a bit overbearing on him (but it's out of pure love.) Lucelia seems to follow him whenever he solves crimes but he doesn't mind (she's quite the looker, anyway.) He thinks Tinker is a glory hog, though, and can't stand his showmanship (but Mento wishes he was as popular.)

Mento works at Smartypants Publishing as a senior editor. It specializes in books that boost intelligence, wit, and charm. His secretary, Lucy, helps him organize his notes, answer the phone before he can, and cover for him when he needs to...help others. His father founded the company, but disappeared 10 years ago.

Mento fights with...well, raw confidence. Mento has no powers, per se, but he has a knack for demoralizing his opponents and dropping their defenses so he can score a critical hit. Mento also travels with his grappling hook and his 1998 Toyota Camry.

Prick

Lost, Media Nut, Son

Real Name: Jack Hanes Menta

Age: 15

Height: Average

Weight: Normal

Prick is, like most other teenagers, lost. Prick lies at that tender age where he hates authority but buys into every new product. Where he can't stand taking orders but loves his father. And where each new discovery reveals a world of information to him.

You see, he can't remember much before he was 12, when Nate Menta adopted him. Not that it matters much. He lives in the NOW, he can't look back. Although something seems to be calling him from then. Maybe he needs to read more back issues...

Prick loves his father, Mento. He corrects Mento constantly, and he can't stand when Mento becomes overbearing, but he wouldn't be happier with anyone else.

Prick fights by extending spikes from his body. His main weapons are 2 long spikes from his hands, with a unique "shpikt!" sound effect that no other superhero has ever used before. He can also cling to walls and surfaces (even though it makes a mess.)

Lucelia

Least Effort, Superiority

Real Name: (It's really long and overly complicated.)

Age: (Big, at least 16384)

Height: Tall

Weight: OK, nothing extraordinary.

Lucelia is an angel. Well, she was an angel. Then she got sick of the heavens' rigid rules and inability to think outside the box. Then she became a demon, and she couldn't stand the rampant chaos. So she lives on the mortal plane, tyring to live like a normal human would.

Except it's so hard. Why bend over to pick things up when you can telekinetically lift them? Why drive to work when you can fly or teleport over? Why wear clothing when you can conjure an illusion of it over yourself? When you've learned everything in Heaven, Hell, and inbetween, using mundane human methods are so...daunting.

Lucelia believes in using the least amount of effort to get the job done. She works as Nate Menta's secretary at Smartypants Publishing. She can pick up the phone faster than he can, and she's very fast at organizing his work for him. Nate doesn't seem to notice the superhuman quality she has. And that's fine with her.

Lucelia can fly (wings) and knows a wide variety of magic. She also knows ancient lore and history more than everyone else. Not that she gloats about it. Humans will forget it and die off, anyway.

Tinker

Machismo, Star, Inciter

Real Name: ?

Age: ?

Height: Above average, but shorter than Lucelia

Weight: Pretty heavy, since it's a metal suit

Tinker's a macho man in a robot suit. He's always telling people to do the right thing. And he likes muscle cars. No one has ever seen the rider, or where he lives.

Tinker is very proactive. He thinks those with the power to help should help, and he wants everyone to powerup! He supports local tough guy contests and monster truck rallies. He also likes to check out bikini babes and swimsuit competitions. He's a real charmer, despite the voice box that he speaks through.

Tinker is one of the most respected heroes in the city. The media refers to him in a positive light, unlike most of the other heroes (especially Mento.) Tinker really thrives off of the respect and rewards the city gives him.

He is the most independent member of the group. He thinks Mento is too weak to be a hero. He thinks Lucelia is hot . And he likes Prick's pragmatism.
