Comic Brainstorming

How about a Dystopian setting? With a dictator?

Maybe a bunch of sweaty, overworked women laboring at a spice mine? Of course, the spice would have some terrific properties.

That goes the same with the Ravers and Scene groups.

Hah, me too.

I do like trance music though. However, you can like something, and hate the fanboys.

How about giant sandworms? Will there be giant sandworms?

I have decided to make about modern day. Perhapse not exactly this world though. (I will have to draw it out and see how it forms out)

Yeah, and the women turn into super psychic freaks who can read minds!

But really, there are other spice mine scenarios than Dune. But that book really had it.

[Sutibaru]

I think I finally have it. And here goes.

Subi was found as an infant by an martial artist out in the mountains. She was raised to focus her Ki. She showed that she had great power, but was not able to master her focus techniques. Any strong emotions or sensations could trigger an shift in her body's shape.

Subi is a clumsy person and not exactly the smartest person out there. She was not very liked either around the small village. But she does have an adventurous spirit and she wanted some friends that could accept her for who she was. That is why she decided to leave and head towards an more urban/city area.

Basically after searching for a place to stay, she is approached by an gang and flees into an abandoned house. It ends up that the house is their hangout. She decides to join them so that she could have some kind of shelter. Plus they do not seem so bad.

Basically this is where the story starts. Subi tries to hide her power as long as she can. But you know, you can't hide something like BE from her friends.

By focusing her ki and/or sweating a lot, (exercising, hot baths, suanas, hotspring) Subi can retain her original form.

But like MP said, It also doesn't have to revolve around fighting, just situations that these odd characters would get into. (grang brawls, shopping, beach events, whatever...) Subi probably will decide to go to a school in which she is not enrolled in as well.

Subi's changes are usually caused by subcouncious thoughts. Ex: Although Subi gets ebarrassed, she subcounciously enjoys getting attention and her breasts grow causing even more attention.

Whether I decide to write a story and/or make a comic, it is good to have Subi-chan's background and story. ^_^

This Ki sounds like interesting stuff. I like it better than Telepathy. It sounds self-limiting, as if there is a natural limit, rather than god-like powers (although the limit might be raised through training, or by especially strong emotions).

Also, it seems to me that she may possess some Ki attacks, after all, she did train with a martial artist, right?

As long as she's embarassed/inconvenienced by the side-effects of her powers, I think this sounds great.

[Sutibaru]

Subi's powers come from biokinetics. Focusing her Ki lets her control it limitedly.

[TGJunkie]

Oh, I see. I thought it was just Ki now. Too much Ki, not enough Ki, Ki affecting people in interesting ways, wierd effects from tampering with Ki, etc.

I guess "Ki" is short for "Kinetics". That makes sense.

[Sutibaru]

Well, I am working more on the story some more. All I need is ideas for characters. Perhapse a rival for Subi? But I need to think up the members of the gang she is in. I have an idea, but not too certain just yet.

[Memo Pad]

Hmm... Perhaps the rival can be someone from where Subi is originally from? That person could be on some mission, favor, or quest to bring her back. Maybe sent by her former martial arts master? I doubt Subi would be willing to return...

(How's that idea?)

The rival most likely would be female. It just makes more sense.

Another student of the master's, the rival wasn't chosen to be taught as well as Subi was. (even if Subi did not learn too well) And when Subi just decided to leave, that was the last straw.

Your idea is pretty good as well. I do not know if it will be a mission or revenge/grudge.

I will have to think up some character designs.
