I will admit that Mystic Ninja was actually one of my least favourite of the characters that I created for the Goodies and Baddies card set. I don’t know what it was, I probably just couldn’t put a back story to the character (they were all created specifically without back stories so people could personally work them out for themselves). Quite a few people commented to me that he was their favourite so I didn’t feel so bad about him after all. But since I am writing a graphic novel at the moment featuring these characters I had to flesh them out in my own mind.
I finally worked out Mystic Ninja.
Essentially he is a ninja that became so expert in the physical arts of ninja that he eventually transcended into the magical realms. Literally the fight is over with him before it begins.
His elevation to this godlike existence has however detached him from our plane of existence and he is only tethered here by his natural form.
I wanted him to feel a little more badass so I threw together a thought piece – I’m assuming that skull was someone who just engaged him in combat:
That is pretty bad ass.
Keep up the good work, Lee. Your blog is one of the only ones that consistently amuses me.
Cheers Sean, I really appreciate you saying that, it helps keep you motivated knowing that someone enjoys it all!!
and cool, I really grappled with the character and wanted him to be a bit more bad ass -- using one's ninja skills to evaporate your enemy's body leaving only a chunk of his skull behind will have that effect*
*that's at least how I see that playing out
