CHARACTERS #1
I've prepared the first two character descriptions for Bax to get working on, and sent it to her today.
I made a web page with some relevant source images to help her get started.
Here's a link to that page, if you wantto check it out [character descriptions #1].
This is what I sent her:
CHARACTER #1 - LUCY (Lucinda Grim)
In the pinup, it'd be cool to see her in her modern-day goth clothes, but with her futuristic iPod and a film production "clapperboard", but if you want to put her into her space suit (no helmet) - then that's cool too. Once the story really picks up, she'll be wearing that more anyway. Actually, she's the only character that really changes her appearance all that much.
She's a 17 year-old goth chick from the late 2005. If there would be an actress that closely resembles her, it'd be JENNA MALONE (Donnie Darko, Saved!). She's a lot like Wednesday Addams, or the cartoon anti-hero "Emily the Strange"
MOOD: She'll be very somber for the first part of the arc, and is very witty and has a dry sense of humor. As the second story arc hits, she's going to be a lot more outgoing. When the story initially begins, she'll be wearing her normal goth clothes, and will also wear that stuff at times on the space freighter.
CLOTHING: She shops at Hot topic and is obsessed with The Cure, but doesn't have a full-on gothy vampire look - it's more "punky" than that. She's wears blocky knee high boots (or Doc Martens shoes), a skirt, and some various types of shirts, or layers of shirts (ala "material girl 80's look). Like I said, somewhat "punky." She wears one of those 'half heart' locket necklaces around her neck, and then other random goth alternative accessories.
FACE AND HAIR: I've putsome examples up for you - I'm not sold on a specific style. Her makeup isn't overly done, but she definitely wears dark mascara and eyeliner. I dont want it to be too distracting (or look too much like Neil Gaiman's character Death). I think a lower lip piercing would look good.
SPACE TECH: She's going to get a futuristic walkman near the beginning of the story. The audio player part is a small ipod-like wrist thing. And she has some cool wireless headphones that go with it (they'll look more sci-fi than practical. Maybe with one or two spiky antennas on one side). And, she'll be wearing a custom designed BLACK and GREY spage suit/jumpsuit after the first few issues, s if you want to put her in that, that's rad.
BACKSTORY: She was cryogenically frozen to prevent a rare and untreatable brain disease from spreading. She was only supposed to be preserved for 9-10 months, but somehow it ended up being well over 500 years.
-------------------------------
CHARACTER #2 - Gaffer (the robot)
It'd be cool to have him holding a boom mic (the cord going into his back), and possible some kind of laser gun.
Basically he's going to be a clunky robot (although he calls himself an Android). He'll be running around quite a bit, so nothing too antique.
The robot should look like a sleek, hosehold appliance. Think Macintosh and iPod. He should look a little bit faded and have a few scrathes and dents. There's going to be a storyline with more updated and sleek, newer-version androids later on trying to kill them, and he should pale in comparison.
His arms can be removed and modified for attatchements. And he's loaded with a bunch of hidden gadgets like R2D2.
The hardest part about him will be getting the proper face. Not too human, but not too clunky and robotic. He's going to need to show a little bit of emotion, but it' doesn't have to be much.
Any of that make sense?

Lets see what she comes up with! I can't wait!
