Interactive Paintings: The Vagabonds, Season 2, Episode 4

in art •  7 years ago 

Presenting The Vagabonds: Season 2, Painting/Game 4!

If you're new to this (seasoned players can skip this part): this is the gist of it: The Vagabonds are small, original paintings of mine. I post a new character every other day (that's roundabout every 48 hours). To play the game, you only need to make a comment on the painting with:

  • A unique first name of your choice for the character
  • Three random numbers between 1 and 9 (I have made lists, and your chosen numbers will determine:
    • The character's positive trait
    • The character's negative trait
    • The character's Profession
  • A unique superpower/item/weapon/artefact of your choice

So your comment could look like this:

Giorgetta, 5-5-5, Can Influence Dice [I'm just making this up... - and don't enter this in your comment!]

I will then reply to your comment with the outcome of your character. In the example above this would/could determine her as:

Giorgetta, the Helpful but Obese Wonderdoctor who can Influence the Dice.

After (roundabout) 48 hours, I will close the submissions for that particular character, and post a new one. One winner from all the entries will be chosen (randomly, by dice) and that will be how that character will remain and will go on to Phase II of the game. I'm looking forward to fun and weird combinations - so, if possible, try to not choose numbers that have already been chosen - it makes it all the more fun (although I can't prevent you from choosing numbers already chosen, of course).

When we have a grand total of 8 of these determined Vagabonds (roundabout 16 days after the first character), all 8 will enter Phase II of the game. Which will be a Vagabonds-special... But I can't tell you anything about that phase yet, only it will be random, very interactive and fun!

Everybody is free to comment - there's no need to upvote or resteem (although of course I really do appreciate those!). A valid comment will get my 100% upvote (sorry, that will be 75% - I'm draining my voting power with this game), and still possibly possibly (as in Season 1) get a bit of SBD transferred: I'm currently splitting 1 SBD between all upvoting contestants, there are simply too many players, and a share of 1/14th SBD is getting towards zilch. And I'm almost out of SBD as well. And there isn't enough coming in to keep supporting this. Anyhoo: feel free to upvote other contestant's comments, especially if you like their weird and zany combination of positive and negative traits, identity and superpowers. Let's make this interactive and fun, ok?


Now then, then now!, the results of Season 2, Episode 3

This was the character of the previous episode:

A smashing and dashing 14 entries were made for this Vagabond! I thank you all, I received some werid and some hilarious combinations, with some very unique first names and some amazing superpowers. As well as a lot of choices for Samurais (6 of them in total). Here they are:

Quinxotl the Sympathetic but really a bit Sluggish Handyman, riding around in his infamous Dragon Chariot by @edward.maesen
Pasha, the Handsome but Stoned Mobster relying on his Magic Wand Holders for his day-to-day business by @lintah
Zygmunt the Popular but Crazy Mastermind, always wearing his Mask of Cooperative Contemplation by @fraenk
Diederich the Popular but Crazy Samurai, and his secret weapon is A Talking Salamander by @hazel420
Splintor, the Polyglot but Procrastinating Samurai, who's able to Implement the Element of Carbon to his Will by @wovenone
Cockerelson, the Smashing but unfortunately Impotent Samurai with his one and only Rotten Egg Scrambler by @deemarshall
Ovrich, the Courageous but Stoned Barbarian who can shapeshift into an insect at will by @lenadr
Doraemon, the Smashing but Stoned Samurai with an.. aah... uhm.. Yeah, it's A Bamboo Copter** by @anumsteemit
God of War, the Comradely but Seasick Samurai and he has Revenge a-plenty by @arifps
Zilong, the Courageous but Lovesick Samurai with a really Magical Spear by @sudong
Xilk, the Clairvoyant but Foul-Mouthed Gladiator with the one and only Crossbow of Zantaloon by @skippyza
Zerbrick, the Handsome but Impotent Handyman with a Magic Wand by @rizallatief
Francis, the Polyglot but Foulmouthed Mobster and he can Shapeshift at will by @mrfrost
Ruldokl, the Smashing but Foulmouthed Handyman with his magic broom by @lamkuta

But there can be only one winner to continue the epic Vagabonds-tale, and the dice chose... A Samurai, this one to be precise:

Zilong, the Courageous but Lovesick Samurai with a really Magical Spear by @sudong, congrats!

Zilong is the third character to move to phase 2 along with:

Caern, the Formidable but Lazy Octogenarian with his Dagger of Truth by @edward.maesen:

And Monica, the Neighbourly but oh so Predictable Duchess weilding her personal and Magical Sceptre of the Dunes by @skippyza:

Which finally brings us to, season 2, episode 4's character:

Who is she? Give her a name in the comments along with three numbers (between 1-9) which will randomly determine her character and profession. And what weird or wonderful superpower/item/ancient or everyday artefact does she have?

Do you have difficulty thinking of a superpower/magical item/extraordinary weapon/amazing artefact? Think fantasy or sci-fi movies/books/stories/legends/fairytales/... It could be anything, just have fun with it! And if all that fails, just mention it in the comment, we'll think of something together!

Quinn, 9-5-6, Hair-clip of Forgotten lies!

Yes! A completely white canvas for you :)

Here's Quinn, she's the Hunky-Dory but Overanxious Mezzo-Soprano with the exclusive Hair-Clip of Forgotten Lies!

Now that's an awesome artefact, I bet it has some cool powers, reminding people of their forgotten lies. Or giving Quinn extra info about them... Very nice one!

hahaha... is that a steemit relevant pun?!

Wobedutzye, 3-6-9, transmuting handkerchief

and thanks for the rewards! Appreciated but not necessary... it's a fun game to play regardless.

You're welcome!
Wobedutzye, the Eloquent but Insane Damsel in Distress with her Transmuting Handkerchief!

Hehe :)

Wobedutzye .... awesome-sauce! hahaha

Not even Google can handle it...

wob.png

heh! :D

already round 4! it's getting hard to pick unused numbers now! :)

Bertha Grunwald, 8-7-8, she wields some recipes for disaster

Yeah, where have you been!?

Beware of Bertha Grunwald, the Friendly but Clumsy Mind-Reader, looking in her Glass Ball for recipes of Disaster!

Being Clumsy, I wouldn't give her any money :D

Hehe I've got enough women who cause disasters in my life! I'll stick to drunken ol' Carl for now :)

Yeah I'm bummed out I missed a few of the new Vagabonds, I had some friends around last week and just got caught up with real life hehe. Unfortunately that means I also have some backlogged work to catch up on now!! :(

No worries, and good luck catching up your backlog! :)

reality can be a bitch hehe ;)

Thank you for the payout. That made me feel good :)

Here's my character today:

Hilda, 2-2-2, crushing bosom

a crushing bosom... hahaha

yeah, look at the painting! She's a big girl, hehe.

Hey Dee, good to hear! :)

Here's Hilda, she's the Strong-Willed but Disgruntled Assassin with her Crushing Bosom!

Haha, nice one, beware! :)

Wow. That picture is beautiful! Are you planning on selling them here on steemit in the future?

I was desperately looking for a name but I finally picked one so here we go:

Shelly, 1 - 4 - 6 and the poisoned hairpin.

Hey, thank you very much!

A lot of the paintings I'm posting are still available - in my early posts I mentioned whether one was available or not, but rarely got a reaction to that, so I stopped mentioning it. This one's available though :)

Here comes Shelly, the Romantic but Tired Sidekick, with the Poisoned Hairpin hidden in her coiffure!

Umm... have to hi-jack this post...

My buddy Zygmund, well Zilong, the Courageous but Lovesick Samurai, is he available... where can I learn about that, will you steembay him for me... what's the dilly there?!

Messaged you on discord concerning Zygmund (Zygmunt according to my relentless excel) / Zilong!

Yeah... [Tsügmunt]... you are right! The mist of Niflheim softened my recollections ;)

You're welcome! How can I purchase it?

Romantic but tired ha! I like that one

Yeah, you have to wonder about that combination :D
I'll message you on discord, ok?
Thanks!

I will try to guess again, zacs 6-3-7, samurai holder

Here's Lady Zacs, she's the Optimistic but Hypersensitive Ventriloquist with a Samurai Holder!

Don't really know what that is... A bag on her back with a surprise Samurai in there? Let me know :)

taking into account the vast number of available Samurais from episode 3... that might just be the holy grail of super weapons around here!

in a game it is biass to declare about a person,@fraenk

I always try to declare my bias clearly... while maintaining totally unbiased of course... sorry... I'm not sure what you meant :D

Remember, it could be that Lovesick Samurai with his magical Spear in there...

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

and as fate would have it, Zygmunt the Popular but Crazy Mastermind, always wearing his Mask of Cooperative Contemplation remained nothing but a glimpse in the eye of his own ancient artifact. An immortal idea that goes to live forever vanished in the mists of Niflheim...

ah well... so for epidose 4: (that was a legit typo and I decided it's yours to keep as a present)

that's obviously Maya Odom, 8-1-7 her superpower is her idiopathic scoliosis... that may sound like it's more of a disability, but people without a proper backbone do make it quite far in this day and age... so we'll have to see how Maya Odom would make that work for herself... I don't know!

P.S.: I know the 7 in 3rd place was taken a few time already... but it's for Aug 17 and it has to stay that!

Sorry Zygmunt, lost in the mists of endless probabilities...

Thanks for the typo, I'll cherish that one!

At first sight, that indeed looks like it is Maya Odom, the Friendly but Flatulent Ventriloquist with her self-developed Idiopathic Scoliosis!

But what of second sight? We'll find out on Tuesday!

winstar 6-6-9, power of intuition

Here's Winstar, she's the Optimistic but Insane Damsel in Distress with The Power of Intuition! Cool :)

She looks like a Zephyr to me. So,
Zephyr, 3-2-1, the dance of death

Meet Zephyr, she the Eloquent but Disgruntled Dominatrix and watch out when she performs The Dance of Death!

Hahaha :D

this time I chose the name Dumbledore, 7-3-7 who has his magic in his hand

It's Lady Dumbledore, the Knowledgeable but Hypersensitive Ventriloquist with magic in her hand!

he's like widlings, 6-3-8 for me who has a sharp sword and black magic

Cool, meet Widlings, she's the Optimistic but Hypersensitive Mind Reader with a really, really Sharp Sword and very very Black Magic!

today I will guess, Oliver 9-6-1 flying broom

It's Lady Olivera, she's the Hunky-Dory but Insane Dominatrix with a very special Flying Broom!

Ah I see... so you are in charge of gender reassignment around here, is it? Really? Who gave you the right to decide which gender Oliver identifies as?! Just wait till the SJWs find this! It's over man, you're done!

Hehe, it's my game and I stated

Who is she? Give her a name in the comments

SJW's, do your best! Or worst! Or what's it called these days!?

in a game it is biass to declare about a person.@fraenk

ummm... yes, ok :D

Looks like I really like your game @marty-art, I'll give it a try.
Geunchogo, 5-5-9, Seven-Branched Sword

Cool, you have Lady Geunchogo, she's the Unexpected but Overanxious Damsel in Distress, carrying her awesome Seven-Branched Sword!

Nice one!

thanks

Awesome game! For this entry I'm going to go with Broomhilda von Koolkirchen, 1-3-2 who is an author that only writes books in spiky heavy metal logo style.

Thanks, glad you're having fun! :)

You've got Broomhilda von Koolkirchen, and she's the Romantic but Hypersensitive Assassin able to Write Books In Spiky Heavy Metal Logo Style!

Hah, awesome superpower there! And Von Koolkirchen rings a bell...

I like to think of it more as an ability. A real superpower would be to be able to read one of those books. :-)

That would be the ultimate Superhero-feat!
