[b]2.[/b] [i]How About A little Background Bio on Your Character Sting for our Readers?[/i]

Eric Cooper : Let me answer those questions for you Blair.

Sting’s biggest successful heist was the steeling of the world’s largest carved sapphire that was on display at the North Carolina State Museum in 2005. Since then no one has any idea who he may have sold it to or where he may have secretly placed the gem.

A little back ground on Sting. Sting’s real name is Allen Sharp. Allen was born in Chicago, Illinois. He was raised by his mother
and has an older brother. Their living conditions were near poverty
and they barely had food on the table. Times were tough and then
Allen’s father was drafted to serve in Vietnam. Unfortunately, he
never made it home, and ten-year-old Allen and his older brother
were now without a father. Their mother who was diagnosed with lung cancer worked as much as she
could to keep food on the table; the government had offered little
support for their daily needs.
Allen was usually left alone, and his mother and brother hoped he would
stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, that did not go as planned…
Allen had started finding unique ways of getting into trouble. He
started stealing for no apparent reason, and then he could not help it.
He was becoming a kleptomaniac, and gravitating towards shiny
objects.
Later an altercation occurred in high school with one of the football jocks that nearly beat the hell out of Allen, that was the point where his body transformed and Allen discovered that he was a mutant and able to defend himself.
As time went on he became a thief for hire, and at times a personal body guard since he was able to switch back and forth from his human and mutant form.
Sting is a fast healer, and skilled in conventional fighting. He has the strength to lift 5 tons and his skin while in mutant form is able to resist small arms fire. He is also able to climb walls like and insect, has a nerve toxin that secrets from his razor sharp tail, and lastly he can secrete bio acid from his finger tips.


This panel (pg13p2) Called for Sting to start running. I kept thinking about the Bigfoot. The films of him walking w/ the arm swinging.Allen is a big brut. An Ape. Savage in Nature.There Something Primal About Allen.(STING)
It reminds me also of my son Brandon, when he runs with the arms all stiff.

starting pg13 today.

Working on Vehicles for this panel .I believe strongly in doing research when nessesary, for the sake of accuracy I turn to “theGoogle”. I remember cutting my fathers magazines
National Geo, Time, Newsweek. Every friggein page truning to decide witch picture to save when there is 2 good ones on either side of a time mag article. And now after the internets search engines that filing cabin sits waiting for the recycling gods to clam it.

The tale of an angel sent to earth from the beginning of man to make sure that certain things get done. Raphael is obedient but bitter. He has been placed here, far away from the presence of God, for many years and he has been given the task of getting to know these humans and befriending them so that they can do what needs be done. In the end all the humans that Raphael has gotten close to, have died off and he is yet left here on this planet alone. The tale will span many different types of humans that Raphael will guide to greatness in their own way. Sometimes that greatness will be evident and these humans touched by him will become famous and go down in history. Sometimes these humans will do great and wonderful things that will largely go unnoticed by the world yet without them; the world would have definitely been changed for the worse. We will get to know these characters as Raphael does. One series at a time, a series can last as long as we need it too to tell the story. There will be lots of action and possibly some demon fighting. The humans selected for the tasks are always selected for a reason. Sometimes because they have special gifts and sometimes because they are the ones in need. The story will also involve itself in the relationship between Raphael and the one he is charged to take care of. He CANNOT, by right of law, directly cause harm to any human. He can destroy demons and such but he cannot directly harm a human no matter how evil the human is. He can contact the human he is charged with helping however, he cannot force the human to do his bidding but he can cause him much trouble until the human aggress to do what needs be done.
By and largely, Raphael will be visible only to his human and to other angels and demons. He can reveal himself to other humans but at great pain and exhaustion to himself. This reveal also causes the human involved temporary blindness and a dizzying effect. This does NOT occur with the human that Raphael is charged with.

Raphael is rated 17+
