Pulse v2 Concepts 1

Description

More considerations for a potential Pulse restart. There's a few logo ideas, and a picture of what Annie might look like naturally.

There's also some drawings of possible alterations to the suits. It seems unlikely that a person should fly very effectively with jets on just their boots, so I've been wondering if some kind of omni-directional jets on their backs might be more realistic. I tried to link into the original design though, and also considered that when not in flight the back of the suits should be somewhat sleek.


There are a few major things to decide about a Pulse v2. They are really in five categories. Pulse would be much more complicated that Vast Cosmos, both because I'd be editing an old comic, and that each character had secrets.

1. The biggest thing I need to decide is the reason for the experiment. The original had kind of like a oh this happened, and then led to that kind of thing. I think the experiment overall has to be an attempt to solve a problem. It may be that they are doing the energy experiment intending to create a pilot for the suits. That there's a threat, or maybe a contest between two labs, or Port Braddon is a city of superheroes (and they need cops), or there's a villain giving random people powers and they are searching for a way to create someone of equal power.

2. Thomas. He always seemed kind of one-dimensional. I'm not certain yet how he'll change though. Maybe just making him more involved in the comic and try to give him more of an obvious personality. I've thought about making the narration come from him instead of Annie, or even switching between the two.

3. Sparrow. I suspect she'll have the same personality no matter what, but I wonder if her past was too complicated. Any change to her might also be a change to Boris.

4. Nigel Robbins. A lot of people seem to be suggesting a different enemy in some way. Or that he/she at least should be more tied to Annie somehow. Any change to him might also be a change to Mira & Arim.

5. Combining characters. After reviewing the existing characters, really Charlotte could be combined with Dr. Mae (her mother), ending up with a 30 y.o. Charlotte ex-superhero as the doctor. Also Thorn could be removed and replaced with Apollo theoretically. This one is more optional compared to the others.


I also think their second suits won't have the differing powers. They'll gain those abilities (Annie's gathering, Sparrow's strength and speed) from defeated enemies. Maybe it'll be a direct contest between the two, from either The Silver Dragon of their superiors.

What ever you plan next, I'm looking forward to it. And for maybe to be suggesting, Maybe Annie's sickness is what helps her get suggested to be in the experiment in the first place.
