#73: The Fin-tastic Four

Okay, here are my latest characters: the Fin-Tastic Four! (Imagine the following post is said in a movie trailer narrator voice or it's not as funny.) First they brought you "Iron Gran," then "The Rex Men," and now the JC-Verse brings you an all-new fish tail. In a world at the bottom of the sea, where fish rule, a group of aquatic animals went on an expedition into the deepest of waters. It was harmless ... or so they thought. The group swam into pollution, giving them powers. Reed Squidard could now stretch his tentacles the length of the Pacific, Sue Nami could now turn invisible, her brother (just go with it) Johnny Nami could now burst into flames and NOT be put out by water, and Ben Pacific-Rim could turn into a rock-covered sea monster. Together, they fight the evil Doctopus Doom as.....THE FIN-TASTIC FOUR! Four. Four. Coming soon to a tank near you.

#72: Sophie (A.K.A. Case #1)

FILE PHOTO

Hey, guys. I have officially beaten my previous monthly record of 716 views in March by getting 727 this month! And the day STILL isn't over. Gotta make this one count: Sophie, A.K.A case #1. Sophie is my sister, the Mustache Ninja's, best friend. She may seem perfectly normal at first glance, but certain key details lead me to believe she is non other than....an inter-dimensional traveler. I've prepared bullet-points.

                                                     SOPHIE EVIDENCE

• She claims to be married to a talking pie named Pie Man. She's stuck to her guns on this one for as long as I can remember. Our team (okay, me) has sat down with her mom, Sue, to ask the tough pie-related questions. So far she has pleaded the fifth.

• On her first game, she proved herself to be a trained assassin on "Disney Infinity." These fighting skills may have been taught to her by a possibly Fu Manchu sporting battle master in another dimension. Or it's just the fact that it was 2:00 in the morning and it was the past-midnight insanity talking. This is debatable.

• She displays an at-times dangerously high level of crazy-hyper-girl power. Having the ability to surf the infinite infrastructure of the universe could drive a person to that level of wackiness. 

• When asked directly by me if she is an inter-dimensional traveler, she replied "Yes, Gleepglorp!"

I state my case. Discuss amongst yourselves.

#71: The Conductor of Electricity

Okay, here's my new character: the Conductor of Electricity. What happens when people throw away or lose their old technology- laptops, flip phones, or even the pager of the ancient 1990s? Well, an electrical current known as the Conductor of Electricity shoots into their circuits, powering them up and causing them to musically beep and zap as a symphony. Scientists are baffled by this lightning bolt bandleader and the phenomenon he causes. Some say it's an average scientific reaction glorified by the electrical appliance companies, some say it's the ghost of Mozart. No matter what he is or where he came from, all people can agree on one proven scientific fact: 
"those be some dope beats!"

#70: WEBSTER

I have to do my Jim Henson report today, so I'll make this quick. Introducing WEBSTER! He's a tech nerd. Literally. With all of the internet at his metaphorical fingertips, this tablet is extremely smart due to his access to every piece of fascinating information out there - plus an abundance of cats playing the keyboard. He's also a germaphobe, which is extremely ironic if you think about it.

#69: SkyStar

Okay guys, here's my new character: SkyStar! In the Virtuality, an other-worldly video game dimension, people are usually born with super speed, multiple lives or really high jumping powers. And then there was Avi. An elf. Unlike the way they're treated in Middle Earth and the North Pole, elves don't go over so hot in the Virtuality. Always the powerless runt of the litter, Avi thought he was destined for the side lines. That was, of course, until he got caught in a battle between the Digitals and the 8-Bits and was scrambled into pixels. To save him, Avi was put in a robo-suit that would hold him together and give him protection. With help from his new get-up, he was now able to do twice as much as any average avatar. Now he is SkyStar, the odds-defying gamer hero, fighting the trouble-making digi-jerk, Griefer. Thank you, Wikipedia Gamer's Dictionary.

#68: Stringler

In the spirit of my research report on Jim Henson, here's my new character: Stringler. Made in the Boozinshire Workshop in the Bronx, this fuzzy fellow is an important, yet unnoticed part of the puppet circuit. He moonlights as a Fozzie Bear look-alike, you know. One day, he plans to move up to the big leagues, singing with Kermit and taking lightsaber lessons with Yoda, but for now, he's behind-the-strings. He tries very hard to stay away from Crash and Bernstein, though. Stringler has a fragile face that he would prefer not to be slammed by a purple psychopath.

#67: Chameleyagi

Okay, here's my new character: Chameleyagi! Chameleons are basically nature's mood rings. But in the Asianesque reptilian world of Shang-Slithera, one such lizard is more than that. As a mere lizardling, Chameleyagi heard the stories of an other-worldly being that learned to harness his ability of evaporation into martial arts (#6, 2013, look it up). Inspired, he found he could do the same with his average chameleon trait of color-changing and make a name for himself among the reptiles. So, without further ado, he began his training and eventually became the creator of Camouflage-Fu. YOU ARE THE LAST (bearded) DRAGON!

A MESSAGE FROM THE JC-VERSE

Attention, everyone. This is a message straight from the JC-verse itself. I would like to announce that it is time. Time for you to know about the secret connections among the stories, worlds and characters in my blog. I won't just tell them to you. Too easy. That's why I'll let you do it yourself. Go ahead, come up with your own theories and see if you can decode the JC-verse. (I may have been watching too much Gravity Falls.....na!)

#66: FRACTON

Hey guys, here's my new drawing: FRACTON, another installment in the story of #17: The Numberians. It's NUMERATOR and DENOMINATOR, a powerful pair of robo-numbers that together form the mighty FRACTON! FRACTON! Fracton. Together, the mathematical brainy-bots battle the negative army with great force. It's like Voltron Force: academically sound edition.

#65: Zero: The Last Character

Hi, guys. Yesterday, I took my book, The Sealion To The Rescue, to my 3rd Young Authors' Fair. I gave out business cards, got all sorts of comments and even met a new friend named Elizabeth. I even got to take pictures with the Cat in The Hat! He's taller in person. Anyway, here's my new character: Zero, the last character. (This one's kind of a downer.) After the world-ending events of 4114 A.D.,(yeah, everyone, it all ends on a palindrome) everything is blank, with no more than pieces of bricks, fallen trees and a little human  (ish) guy named Zero. Living in Visonin, the corrupted, surprisingly cheeseless future Wisconsin, Zero flies around on his HUV-R Board, fending off the evolved jumbo-roaches and kicking back with visiting alien homies. 4114. Man, the Mayans were way off.

#64: ZOO'OZ

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING BLOG POST FEATURES THE DOOM LORD OF QUAZEN'ABI. MAY BE TOO BAD TO THE BONE FOR SOME READERS.

Okay, here's my new character: Zoo'oz: the putrid and powerful! (Both in personality and smell.) A while ago, I posted about the land of Quazen'abi. You know, formed in the collision of supernovas and all. Well, I mentioned a demon dictator that ruled the land with evil power. Well, you're looking at him. Long ago, the doom lord flew out of the Cave of Stand-Still Nowhere and took out the previous leader, Quacesu. Considering Quacesu's bad rap with the peeps, everyone assumed Zoo'oz was a hero. They were wrong. Now he rules the realm, with diabolicalness unmatched by almost anyone in the JC-Verse. He's like if you threw Vader and Voldemort into a blender and hit puree.

#63: O: The First Character

Here's my new character: O, the first character. Let's go back for a minute, to days when hairy people wandered the land. Surprisingly not the hippy era. Back when the JC-verse (Jacob's Characterz! universe) was newly fabricated, everything was blank and simple, with no more than rocks, sticks and one hair-covered stumpy guy named O (named for the only sound a humanoid could make at the time). All the early animals were confused by how the guy got there, or what those weird grabby things attached to his paws were. Having much to learn about what would one day be called Earth, O lived among the creatures and nature-y thingamajigs, surviving swimmingly as character #1. Although, he didn't live long enough to witness the wheel, which is unfortunate considering it looks an awful lot like his name.

#61 & 62: The Air Resistance and Lord Gravity

Hey guys, here's my new characters: The Air Resistance and Lord Gravity. In the world of Graviton, the evil apple-head, Lord Gravity, keeps the people down and without freedom to fly. The poor citizens thought they were without hope, until the Air Resistance was born. Made up of ethereal beings who refuse the restricting power of Lord Gravity, the group works against the force of evil (literally) and helps the people rise up against it (also literally). This story is based on scientific facts I read from ye old middle school. That's right, kids. Science can be dope, too.

#60: The Mighty Myron

Hey, guys. We are now up to 60 characters this year! For most people, hitting 60 isn't particularly a good thing. That's not for me. Anyway, now that I've gotten most of the memory of Grown Ups 2 out of my head, here's my new character: the Mighty Myron, the greatest animal crime fighter on the planet. Don't let his cuddly looks fool you. If you break the law, he's gonna put a hurt on you. Trained in the martial art of Flung Furry Fu, (the three Fs of butt-whomping), Myron busts criminals with his tiny paws of fury all over the city. Don't mess with the hamster in spandex. (This character is based on a request from a kid to make their late pet into a character. I hope I did Myron justice. Pun intended.)
