Well, I thought it might be useful to have some information mostly regarding the Blank Character organized and handy for wrapping this storyarc up, as I feel it can and should probably be an important factor. The Last True Evil has expressed interest in wrapping it up, so if you've got input on the matter, post it here and/or contact TLTE about it. First off, two of Ante's posts from page 7 which sum up the purpose of the Blank Character:
Next, a list of the components in the jar of light that is, as of this moment, the Blank Character, who will most likely be "born" at any moment now:
- A kidney from Gebohq
- A jellybean from the Jellybean Pony
- Some "blue" from Ahnuld (he runs on rainbows)
- Some skin from Thrawn42689
- Some breath from JK the White
- A lock of hair from Maybechild
- Half a moustache from CookedHaggis
- A liver from The Otter
- A rib from Jim Seven
---------------------------- - Toenail clippings from Krig the Viking
- A net from TLTE's spy equipment
- Some magic from CoolMatty's blue-burning Phoenix Gale
The break in the list is where there was enough components, and the last three appear to be extra spices thrown in. Presumably, when applicable, Zania/Ante had replaced the items taken with better ones -- Geb for instance can now run faster, the Otter can drink more, etc. However, this doesn't seem to mean these characters have their powers back, at least not entirely -- Gebiyl, for instance, has Geb's NeSword. He might even have everyone else's powers, which could be part of the EeP's plan to control Gebiyl for his benefit (at the moment, however, the EeP is using CoolMatty). Gebiyl will surely be on a crazy surge anyways with the EeP trying to control him and visa versa.
In all likelyhood, the Blank Character will be "born" as a "perfect" character, a Buhdda-esque genderless super-character with the strengths of the characters above, though I've suggested that said character also start out with a name and/or a special strength and/or a special weakness. From there, each of us (or our characters as it may be) can add unique physical and personality traits, other strengths and weaknesses, etc. that'll make this character unqiue, and over time become "flawed" in its own manners... there's all sorts of crazy things that can go with this. But here are my suggestions for names, strengths, and flaws:
Names: Ashley,
Baako,
Chance,
Gale,
Hosanna,
Jess,
Jiang,
Jing,
Jordan,
Li,
Lou,
Qiu,
Sam,
Shui,
Tu,
Young,
Yu.
Strengths: Conductor/amplifier of team synergy, healer, master of disguise, increase/decrease luck, power over weather/water, same as flaw.
Flaws: Psychotic (anti-social, schitzo, multiple-personality disorder...), angsty, lazy, arrogant, increase/decrease luck, adversity to water...
More than likely for just the end of this storyarc, giving just a unique strength would be applicable, and leave thinking of a name for us to think over in the workshop. Another idea to consider is that the Blank Character to be born first enters as a child (and maybe grows at a normal pattern, though obviously the child can exhibit some adult-like abilities like high speech skills or the like.)
And with that, I think I'll stop. Please respond with your thoughts on the matter

). Simply put, the heroes will try and reclaim/save the world from Helebon's control in their weakened state. TLTE and a few others will meanwhile have to venture to Jupiter to try and find out what happened to Losien. It should prove to be a simple and fun classic battle.
