It’s the last episode of

Protagonist Portrait

And we are meeting three characters!

Meet Hayden, Adrian, and Thalia

Hayden

Pronouns: (She/Her)

Story: Hayden

Bio:

It’s not easy being friends with the best hero in the city, if not the world. Don’t get her wrong, Hayden loves Dan. The hero’s basically a giant golden retriever. It’s the villains constantly trying to use her as leverage that she’s not too fond of.

Adrian

Pronouns: (She/Her)

Story: Blue Jay

Bio:

Adrian hasn’t been a hero for very long. It’s only been about a year and she’s already starting to take on more serious threats. Right before she’s about to move in at college, she gains her first ever villain, a man who can control storms named Hurricane. Then, as college starts up, she starts to fall for one of her classmates, a guy named Marcus. But how can she keep her hero life a secret from Marcus? And how will she react when she finds out that Marcus has a secret of his own?

Thalia

Pronouns: (She/Her)

Story: The Curious Case of the Sapphire Spirit

Bio:

Thalia couldn’t care less about her murder. The guy failed and she got some cool powers out of her new half dead state. What she does care about is that the guy did succeed in killing her sister. So, what else is Thalia supposed to do other than become a vigilante and bring her sister’s killer to justice? Luckily, her new roommate is a journalistic major. Maybe she can help.

Author/Artist Commentary:

Hayden’s story was made to answer one question I had during middle school, “What if a Superman story focused on Lois Lane?”

Adrian’s story is a silly romance between two oblivious rivals.

And Thalia’s story is three for three on the “used to be from another fandom” character. But she is also a “used to be a shitty self insert” character. So I took this Danny Phantom knock off, made her a theatre kid, nerfed her power set, and put her in college with a podcaster obsessed with cryptids.

While these three don’t share a story, I image they exist in the same universe and are friends.

But that’s it! The last of the characters done! There’s only thing left to do.

He's a stake horse... or I never saw one. I sure hope Pa don't sell him. If Pa just hangs on to that black colt, everything's going to be all right.

My friends and I have at times discussed film noir casting the justice League (Burt Lancaster as Batman, Bogart and Bacall as Question and Huntress) but you know who was an actual sea captain and would be the grimmest, hardest boiled Aquaman ever?

[elvisomar]

James Earl Jones' very first film was (in my estimation) the best film ever made: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Until his passing today, Jones was the last surviving member of the cast of that film.
