k, Im stuck right now. I'm stuck with a character design for my manga. I'm not sure where I should put this so I put it in the manga section since this is a manga.

I'm currently stuck with several chatacter designs for my manga Space Detective Go-Go. Here's some background info: thiers these group of assassins hired to "kill" the main character. However, these are not your average assassins. One thing, they do not look like them and another thing i that they are strange.

I need like 6 and come up with two and wondering what your ideas are. Just some suggestions on wierd villains that wou;dn't seem like assassins.

My first asassin I have so far is a wierd and odd duy that all you see is his eyes (well, he wears glasses which always gleam or shine), a mouth (he smiles alot), a pentagram around his chest area, and floating hands. Whenever he enters a area, everything turns dark and so thats all you see. He uses two HUGE handguns and his hands has gloves on them with crosses on each. The guy is a vampire.

The second assassin I have is a old grandma type lady. I havn't worked that much on her but she's a nimble old lady that you expect to give you milk and cookies on your visit to grandmas. Though she uses her knitting needles as deadly projectiles and yarn that can cut through any material known to man.

Just post if you have a idea for a wierd assassin like that.

hmm....I don't usually draw assasins. Do you read Hunter X Hunter? It's loaded with assasins and weird ones too. Maybe you would get inspiration from that series.

"smiling Young boy" is too common and I don't really like the "cute little girl" assasin idea.

What about a bookworm type? (egh, HXH already has that) A blind guy? (oh no that's like that Ushio dud in Rurouni kenshin)

gah, my brain's dead tonight.

I've got an idea: An android schoolgirl with strength enhancements that appears to be 12, but instead is much older. She became an assassin after she "snapped" from seeing her creator (viewed by her as her "mother") killed and her programming became corrupted. She could kill her victims by strangling them in a cutesy-looking hug. I think it'd just be neat to see a cute lil 12-yr old girl tossing cars around.

How about a guy in any kind of animal suit that has the most unusual kind of guns and other weapons that he pulls from the suits mouth. There are a lot of sword-swallower assassins out there but this would be different. More than likely however, it has been used before.

How about a small girl. She looks like a lost child but when people come up to see if shes ok her hair becomes like serpents and either try to strangle the person to death or pick them up and throw them. Her hair hangs over her face so you never see it and she wears a white nightdress with arms that are way to long. Under them her fingers are like razor blades and can slice a hair in two.

Hows that? Pretty creepy huh?

k, thanks everyone for your ideas and keep them coming.

Actually alot of the people you already said are in the mnga. Most of them are the good guys who are part of the spaceship crew (it's a futristic-space theme manga).

Already have a cute innocent Kawaii girl who carries a rockluancher, a blind guy a blind Sniper guy. I also have a bookworm guy who is also the pretty boy of the manga. (kinda like how girls go gah-gah over Kurama and trunks and other pretty boys). He's a bookworm but also a pretty neatly rolled into one :lol: . Thier's also a guy who carries I think 8 Kodachis (a mix between a katana and a dagger) and can use them at the same time (kinda like the guy who pulls weapons from a animal costume's mouth :eyebrow: )

Dr. Nic, I like that idea...kinda like a Mesusala type character?

These assassins are not like groups in say Trigun (Gung-Ho Guns) were they are defeated in one episode. They stay alive for like 2 or maybe 3 episodes.
