#30 The Black Mollusk
The first villain to be born superly-abled, Edward “Squidward” Taylor was ostracized since birth. Being teased and abused his entire life, Edward grew up with a nasty disposition and a chip on his shoulder. As he got older, he turned to a life of crime, not being able to support himself any other way.
As The Black Mollusk, he became one of the most dangerous men in the world and Dr. Omnibus’ arch nemesis. Over the decades, Dr. Omnibus captured The Black Mullosk multiple times, but his flexible body and multiple limbs made escaping custody easy.
In 2001 The Black Mollusk invaded Omni Keep and killed Dr. Omnibus. The Black Mollusk is currently in retirement, barricaded within the defenses of Omni Keep.
#27 Wee Andrew of Glenclover
When you’ve got an army that outnumbers you ten to one, it’s good to have someone on your side with the strength of twenty to level the playing field. While Wee Andrew may not be the sharpest person on the battlefield, he’s big & strong & you don’t want to be on the business end of his caber pole.
That’s right. He uses a caber pole. Because swords are too small for his massive hands.

I had the idea ‘Brutal Scot’ on my jumpoff list. From there, I thought I should give the guy a Caber to use as a weapon. So he swings this thing around & flattens skulls with it.
So I reached thirty & had them scanned before midnight so hey, alright! The next couple will be done in short order after this one.
Paisley Queen
When you look up in the night sky, and see a falling star, make a wish if you please but be aware that it may not be a star at all, it may be the Paisley Queen sailing through the evening.
“I’ve come for the wine. What shall we sample tonight?”
Often sought by others for truth and guidance, the Paisley Queen genuinely laughs it off.
“If they’re so stupid they need direction they might as well just have some wine and get over it!”
Casual Formal Server
Being the best there is at what I do is the easiest and most carefree way to be.
“Yeah, that’s right, I’m laid back and fun and formal and goofy, all at the same time. Try that on for size.”
You never know just what story is being built or considered when you pass me, or how you might be contributing to the sequence being built.
“I may be quiet, but I’m a deep thinker. Herpaderp.”
Day 30: Paul Peppers
Character #30, Paul Peppers. He kinda looks like Feris, but that wasn’t intentional at all.
He’s based off the characteristics of pepper. He has quite the number of allergies, relating to how pepper makes people sneeze. He can be quite bitter at first, but when you get to know him, you can appreciate him, and maybe even think he’s a nice guy. That’s how Paul somehow became Sid Salts’ best friend, Sid saw good in him and pursued it. He’s quite the sophisticated type.
Last character! Huzzah!!!
#30 Frank Eastin – Retiree
My boss came to see me last week. Or I should say that my ex-boss came to see me. He does that every couple of months. Stops by the beach, pretends that he’s just checking in on his old friend. We sit, we laugh, we share a few beers. I loan him a pole and he does a few casts. We both pretend that we don’t know why he’s come.
Usually around the third beer he brings it up. He’ll casually mention, “So we had a strange case come up recently.†And then he takes off with it.
The first time he did it, I tried to stop him, but he would just stop for a bit and then work up to it a different way. Now I think it’s better to just let him roll. I’ve told him it’s not happening.
I did my years, and I’m done. I traveled the world, seen more countries than most satellites, and all I had to show for was a lot of tombstones behind me and a paycheck. A big paycheck to be fair, but it wasn’t the same thing as a career.
Since I’ve been retired, I’ve had the most boring years of my life. No guns, no explosions, no psychotic killers popping out of birthday cakes. Frankly I’ve been bored to tears and loving every minute of it.
#23 thru #30 – Procrastination Collection
These are “Ran-out-of-time-colored”.
Well, at least I have 30, even if they aren’t awesome ones.

#30 The Joker
Day 30, the Joker. Somehow, I felt like I should draw something like this at the end. I sort of combined all sorts of aesthetic qualities I like into this drawing. No description, jokers don’t need to reveal anything about themselves.
I must say I am very proud to finish this challenge from start to finish!!! Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. I definitely enjoyed this challenge 🙂
Larger size here!
Lisa Robinson – 30 Characters, completed!
Well, I cut it close but I finished! Schoolwork and funnily enough, my Thanksgiving break kind of snuck up on me near the end, but I managed to get some characters out! They’re not all top-notch, but I’m much more of a concept thrower than a polisher. I’m really happy with some of the new guys that have emerged from this challenge, and I think I’ll be using a lot of them in the future!
I think some of my favorites were 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 25, and 29.
It was a lot of fun and has been an interesting month. I loved seeing everybody’s characters! Maybe I’ll try at it again next year… if I have the time!
