OK. It's time for the last worlds on that Character Creation Challenge for January 2024. It took a e-mail to Tardis Captain -- and think two weeks to get the following: the picture award for finishing all 31 characters for January 2024
Logging off,

It is time to look behind the scenes for 2024’s “Character Creation Challenge”.
The writing began in early November 2023, when Tardis Captian posted the Character Creation Challenge. I started with my usual all-tabletop roleplaying games allowed in the business, but when I got to my 12th character out of 31 characters, I got a case of writer's block. So I switched to one of my favorite tabletop roleplaying games: “Cartoon Action Hour”. I used Season 3 as it is the most recent season (read: edition) of the formerly mentioned tabletop roleplaying game.
I still have to change how the text looks because if I copy the text straight from Google Documents the text goes straight off the Blogger page.
▢ #1: Jagika for “Action-Cats”
▢ #3: Angel for “Battle For The Universe”.
▢ #4: Muse for “Castles & Caverns”
▢ #5: Michelle Monkey for “Dino-World”
▢ #6: Cobweb for “Galatic Heroes”
▢ #7: Donna Drive for “Final Lap”
▢ #8: Tenshi “Princess Dream” Akuma for “The Girls of Dream Park Japan” = I wanted to do anime and still something related to the “Dream Park: The Roleplaying Game” while still using only “Cartoon Action Hour: Season 3”.
▢ #9: Princess Nightmare for “The Warriors Of Cosmos”
▢ #10: Rydia Rough for “Punk Rock Saves The World” = The first name of this character comes from my favorite character of “Final Fantasy 2 a.k.a 4”: Rydia, the summoner from the Village of Mist.
▢ #11: Mydria for “Wastleland 2012”
▢ #12: Princess Zana for “The Vampire World”
▢ #13: Aelita Scheaffer for “Dark Brigade” = I got two facts about this character for you guys and girls as the case might be -- which are the following: #1) I wanted to do something related to horror since 13 is considered unlucky, ) The name of the character was stolen from the same name character from “Code Lyoko.”
▢ #14: Eris for “Super League” =
▢ #15: Aelita Anderson for “Aelita Anderson” = Wonder what is the comic company that hates fanworks well click this sentence to find out.
▢ #16: Cassandra Craft for “Cosmic Horror Hunters”
▢ #17: Moon Mistress for “S.L.A.M.”
▢ #18: Thomas Train for “Tin Justice”
▢ #19: G.G. for ““Infinivaders”
▢ #20: Persephone for “The Super Battle Brothers”
▢ #21: Aquawater the Mermaid Master for “The Mighty Mirror Masters”
▢ #22: Shika for “Shika”
▢ #23: Cassandra Cheese for “The Crusaders of Sarillon” = The outfit for Cassandra was based on the outfit worn by Mitzi Mozzarella of the “Rockafire Explosion” with a C replacing Mitzi’s M.
▢ #24: Diana Cord for “The Brutaliods” = I was going to “Asgard 300” here but I posted the wrong guidelines -- so I switched gears to this series.
▢ #25: Cassandra for “The Elf Team” = Originally, I wanted to do Santa Claus for this spot with an image of him from one of those new Art AIs that have popped up on the Internet with him being labeled as a Guest Star since 25th of December marks Christmas Day -- but I changed it to one of his female Christmas Elves.
▢ #26: Mei Ling-Chang for “Asgard 300” = Originally, this character would be one at #24 spot.
▢ #27: Patrik “Pumpkin” Potluck for “Ghost Patrol”
▢ #28: Cassandra Aelita Anderson for “Cassandra, the Tabletop Roleplaying Game Master” = I use Cassandra
▢ #29: Angel Show a.k.a “Ice Snow”
▢ #30: Raven a.k.a “Castle & Caverns” = I didn’t know I made two characters for “Castle & Cavern” until I did this “Behind the Scenes” business -- and both Raven and Muse are female bards -- thought Raven is a human that uses a harp and Muse is an elf that uses a flute.
▢ #31: Mei “Dragon” Ling-Ching for “The Dragon Truck Driver”
Well, I don’t know if I’m going to do one of the following until we get to November 2024: Redoing what I did for January 2025 or returning the usual anything goes for January 2025.
Logging off,
Dr. Thinker
I will do an anime character for my last “Cartoon Action Hour: Season 3” character for this year’s Creation Character Challenge.
Step #1 is Name. That is going to be the following: Mei “Dragon” Ling-Ching.
Step #2 is Series. That is the following: “The Dragon Truck Driver”
Step #3 is Appearance. That is the following: “Mei ‘Dragon’ Ling-Ching is a Chinese American with black hair and green eyes usually dressed in a red shirt, yellow overalls, and a pair of red cowboy boots.”
Step #4A is Signature Quality -- which is the following: “Female Semi-Truck Driver”. Step #4B is the Standard Qualities -- which are the following two: “Normal Female Adult Human” & “Vow: Will complete her job no matter what.”
Before I begin the next business, I’m going to have to do something assuming business -- which is the following: Star Power 4, Superhuman Tier, and 30 Traits Points.
Step #5 is Star Power and Base Oomph. With my assuming business above, those two are rated with the following number: 4.
Step #6 is Traits. The following are the traits that I purchased for Mei -- with the math businesses in brackets as usual:
DRIVING SEMI-TRUCKS 6 [30 - 6 = 24]
LASER PISTOL 4 [24 - 4 = 20]
AGILITY 4 [20 - 4 = 16]
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HIGHWAY SYSTEM KNOWLEDGE 4 [16 - 4 = 12]
DISCORDIAN KNOWLEDGE 4 [12 - 4 = 8]
POP CULTURE KNOWLEDGE 4 [8 - 4 = 4]
SMARTS 2 [4 - 2 = 2]
SEMI-TRUCKS KNOWLEDGE 2 [2-2=0]
Step 4 is Special Rules. I only taking take two here for the LASER PISTOL trait -- which are the following: “Action Feature” & “Accessory”.
Step #5 is Special Rules. I’m going to start with Upgrade #4 -- adding the following third Standard Quality: “Chatterbox.” 4 - 1 = 3. Next, I’m taking Upgrade #1 twice to get the SEMI-TRUCKS KNOWLEDGE up to 4. 3 - 2 = 1. I think I finished with Upgrades - so that means...
...That Mei is done and I have finished all 31 characters for “Cartoon Action Hour: Season 3” for this Character Creation Business for 2024.
