Complete Monster Proposal Thread

@WatTambor. Really like the second quote.

Edited by NTG on Sep 10th 2023 at 2:44:54 AM

I believe the second quote is the image quote for Game of Thrones

Yeah, now that I check it, you are right. But for some reason, it's not on Complete Monster: Literature, so it needs to be added there as well.

Assuming it's not Harmless Freezing, sure to Sisto.

Last one from Six’s Shield.

Who is the Hunter? What has he done?

Man in the woods who Six encounters after living the forest for month. He captures her and ties her to the table in his house, one filled with taxidermied people he captured and killed. She tries to escape, but Hunter captures her and holds her so tightly that she loses conciusnes because of lack of exigen, before tossing her into the cage in basement.

Six tries to escape again, coming across many of Hunter’s traps filled with decaining corpses of many unfortunate souls. Hunter uses his gun to intimidate her back into cage. Six loses hope and spends weeks starved in cage, with her only food being something rotten or dead the Hunter occosionaly gives her, making sure to bring his gun to make clear he can kill her if she tries to escape again.

That is until after weeks of tormenting Six, Mono comes to Hunter’s House and frees her. Two make their escape and during it, use gun to kill Hunter.

Mitigating factors?

He dosen’t speak, but Six’ naration and his actions give him enought character and sadism. He is also far enought from Pale City for his mind to not be influanced by TV’s and the Eye.

Heinous standard?

For just one guy in small house in the middle of nowhere, guy torments Six for weeks and outside of his House is filled with corpses of his victims, while he keeps his other kills as trophies in house. Him also not stoping on children but killing other adults is also nasty touch.

In terms of resources, Hunter is easily on the bottom. Eye is eldrich god, The Lady runs whole operation and Craftsman is part of operation backed by rich client and has people to bring him victims, other monsters Six and Mono encouter have at least some supernatural or inhuman abilites, meanwile hunter has nothing except his gun and traps.

While he likely dosen’t have hundreds of victims the Lady and Craftsman do, hefty victim count he does have is nothing to scoff at, helped by his torment of Six and lack of resources.

Conclusion.

Lean yes.

Forgot to note earlier, but both he and Eye actually show up in Mono’s past. The hunter simply makes cameo which leads to Mono going to save Six, for the Eye it simply choses Mono to be next Thin Man, but it should probably be clarified.

Probably should have specified in case somebody didn’t see previous proposals. Sorry, fixed now.

Uhh, what work is he from?

And a yes.

Why doesn't the Craftsman count again?

I don’t he is characterised enought. We see is inteligent by one line he gives to the Butler (informing him that he didn’t find escaped Six) and Six naration after spending two years hearing screams of his victims as they are skined alive does describe him as sadistic, but he is on page very briefly and not super in focus like Hunter is. We did have characters with very little pass characterization before so if people think he is worth a try I could do it.

Hunter

Also a new chapter for Berserk is out 22nd September if anyone wants to claim it since its not on the discussion dates.

Do we still have enough people to actually vote though? I'm sure over half of the people in this thread have left to protest.

Out of the recurring guys I've only seen Scraggle, 43 and Agent break out I think...?

@Wat I don't remember if I removed it during the quote purge. If I did it was due to it being the image quote.

Take care everyone taking a break, hope to see you soon.

for the Hunter

@Siegfried1337:Little Nightmares fanfic

Alright because I had a PM (which im completely fine with dw) about this from someone just to clarify about why I don't think Ethel cares about Ivan.

Ethel dotes over her sons yet kills one with no remorse just because he looking around and getting close to discovering her being able to walk, theres no scene of her being sad about it or whatnot. She says she misses Ivan due to him being able to be her carer. Ethels motive is for the attention to be on her hence when she lost Ivan, she lost a person who could give her attention.

Does that make sense for you guys?

Edited by WetFlannels on Sep 10th 2023 at 4:08:05 PM

x3 Wait I remember seeing way more...

to Hunter though

Edited by Mr-ex777 on Sep 10th 2023 at 11:13:08 PM

So originally, someone else was gonna do this guy, but said person is taking an idefinite hiatus from the threads due to recent drama. So here I am doing the EP instead!

What is the work?

"Father's Day" is a fansong created by CG5 that revolves around the popular web show. Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. The video centers around Roy Gribbleston. Givin a fully fleshed-out personality that shows him to be an egomanical abuser who despises his own child. Running a seemingly fun kid's show that is in all reality a personal hell for its characters, he submits his son Yellow Guy to vicious torture all as punishment for an undisclosed act. Ultimately, his torturous show is put to an end by Red Guy when he pulls the plug, finally allowing Father's Day to pass.

Who is Roy? What has he done?

Roy Gribbleston serves as the Villain Protagonist of this music video. An egomanical maniac, he, as mentioned above, planted his son Yellow Guy in a hell-like TV Show along with his friends that tortured him regularly and repeatedly to the point of him becoming viciously traumatized, all for something he did that isn't disclosed. This ain't no average torture either, At his most depraved, he has Duck canned and cannibalized by Yellow Guy (ya know, his son) simply for "heading the voice that called" AKA trying to escape. Ultimately, Roy's machinations are put to an end by Red Guy, who pulls the plug on the show, finally allowing it to end.

Mitigating Factors?

To start off with plot concerns. I think this video is fine in that regard. We see plenty of shots from the show that help the story go along and give context, We also get to see some of Roy's acts, such as having Yellow Guy cannibalize Duck for trying to leave. Plus it's not really like this video is exclusively about Roy singing about doing bad things. Hell, a lot of it is him trying to portray himself as benevolent. Not to mention the visuals make it evident that the song follows similar plot beats to the show, plus the video actually has a good ending where Red Guy pulls the plug on the show, and the neverending nightmare is over. With June 19th finally passing.

So, now that I have that out the way, anything else? Fuck no, in comparison to his more enigmatic personality in the show, here he's an egocentric jackass who despises his own son, submits him to ruthless torture, has him cannibalize one of his own friends, all the while keeping a Affable Persona when it's clearly bullshit. The literal only thing I could see as detracting is maybe comedy as he has some laughably evil bits. But not only are they brief, but they don't at all detract from his horrid actions.

Heinous Standard?

Only villain in the song, tortures his own son, forces him to eat one of his own friends. Pretty easy pass in my book.

Verdict?

It's a yes from me, though I'd be happy to hear other people's thoughts!

Edited by Splonk on Sep 11th 2023 at 6:52:21 AM

Leaning towards yes for Roy largely because the song does attempt to have a story unlike say the original is all up to interpretation with Roy in the actual show being too enigmatic in his actions.

Roy seems a yes.

After the Bomb Rush Crew fight him for the first time, Faux takes their leader Red, who is actually Felix, and brutally snaps his head off, immediately followed by kidnapping BRC member Solace so he can use his younger body as his own.
  • The unnamed criminal in the brown jacket is a brutal and sadistic bank robber. Robbing the city's bank with an accomplice, he murders an employee for triggering the silent alarm and then kills another man during the hostage negotiations with the police. When Hopkins offers him an escape helicopter and himself as a hostage in exchange for the release of the other hostages, the robber seemingly agrees and releases three of their four hostages when Hopkins enters the bank, only for the man to suddenly slash the throat of the last hostage with a grin on his face. The two robbers then knock out Hopkins, escape with the helicopter, and later murder the police officer piloting it. Additionally, they also left an armed bomb inside the bank that would've killed several people if Hopkins hadn't managed to disarm it.
• Turbo Overkill: Maw is a vicious Bounty Hunter who gradually becomes Johnny Turbo's biggest threat. Originally hired by Teratek to stop Syn and kill Johnny after they deemed him a liability, Maw secretly acquired multiple datasets needed to destroy Syn before betraying Teratek and his allies. After narrowly surviving an encounter with Johnny, Maw recovers and uses newfound powers from the datasets to immediately kill Johnny and destroy his brain. In his quest to gain ultimate power, Maw teamed up with Syn, aiding Syn's goals to destroy the whole universe and eradicate all of humanity. Even after gaining unlimited knowledge and power, Maw sought out to betray Syn too, choosing instead to plunge the whole universe into chaos as opposed to rebuilding the universe in Syn's vision.
• Play with Me Reboot (link): Uncle Johnathan "Johnny" Williams, the uncle of Sally Williams, is seemingly a friendly and fun man who is revealed to have a sick and depraved side to him. Showing to despise Sally and becoming attracted to her due to spite against his brother Frank for marrying his crush, Sally's mother Marie, Johnny proceeds to sexually abuse Sally for four years, threatening her to keep silent. When Johnny finds out Sally and her friends have plans to expose him, Johnny chases her, threatening torture, before he murders her in a fit of rage, and when getting caught, refuses to take responsibility, proceeding to blame Frank and Marie for having the perfect life.
• Distant Lands "Wizard City": Dr. Caledonius, supposedly a Cool Teacher at Wizard City's school for preeminent young wizards, is actually a deranged cult leader worshiping an eldritch horror named Coconteppi. Caledonius takes an obsessive interest in the amnesiac, childlike Peppermint Butler, knowing he used to be the most evil dark wizard in Ooo's history, and so manipulates and corrupts him into drinking the ichor of Coconteppi and becoming the monster's host, all so that he'll annihilate Wizard City and usher in the "Second Age of Terror". Caledonius has no compunction murdering her own teenaged students; she murders Spader in a failed ritual to summon Coconteppi, then remorselessly orders Peppermint's friend Cadebra murdered when she tries to help him break out of Coconteppi's influence.

Six Shield candidates and song!Roy.

Song!Roy.

Um, was Emma ever actually reapproved? I saw a question about it and a write up with no votes

I don't recall anything but user posting the writeup.

Cool, I'm fine with her reinstatement accounting for her additional crimes.

Here is Emma’s EP.

Checking I found 8 upvotes with no downvotes. Don’t blame you for missing it thought, those few days had many proposals.

Edited by EmperorGeode on Sep 10th 2023 at 10:14:30 AM

Wow, I legitimately did not see that. My only concern then is if she got enough votes but I don’t have the time or ability to check right now

I will also be participating in the walkout due to concerns with administration. Before that, though...

IT! IS! TIME! Behold the EP ten years in the making!

What's the work?

Metalocalypse is my favorite Adult Swim show, chronicling the adventures of the most popular death metal band in history, DETHKLOK! Remember how John Lennon got in trouble for bragging that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus?" Well Dethklok is that, but unironically. The entire planet will quite literally die and kill for them, and as a result they're the 7th-largest economy in the world.

Unfortunately, the band members: Composer and vocalist Nathan Explosion, bassist William Murderface, guitarists Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Toki Wartooth, and drummer Pickles the Drummer, are, thanks to a whole lot of childhood trauma, enormously stupid and emotionally stunted individuals when it comes to everything other than writing and performing music. They don't know how to perform basic day-to-day tasks, they're completely ignorant of their own mystical abilities, which usually result in Final Destination-esque Disaster Dominoes effects that routinely massacre their fans in improbably ways, and most of all, they don't know of the great destiny that awaits them and the sinister conspiracy against them...

The series is notorious for getting Screwed by the Network in 2013, just when it was about to end, thanks to a falling out between creator Brendon Small and a Cartoon Network executive, who sat on the rights and refused to let Small make the finale out of pure spite, but after ten years (and said suit leaving the company), Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar is here to wrap things up in a BRUTAL FASHION, and as a result I can bring you this. So remember that sinister conspiracy? Every one of those needs a leader...

Who is Mister Salacia? What has he done?

Played by everyone's favorite guy that first got famous playing a saintly hero but now mainly plays depraved villains himself, Mark Hamill, Mr. Salacia is the shadowy power broker to end all shadowy power brokers. Appearing as an enormously tall elderly gentleman in a nice suit, Salacia is the head of The Tribunal, an Illuminati-style conspiracy devoted to monitoring Dethklok and the band's often disturbing impacts on the world. Their meetings are led by a weaselly US Senator, Stampingston (also voiced by Hamill) who reports on basically everything Dethklok does to Salacia and his fellow people of influence on the council, but despite their supposed duty to protect the world from Dethklok, it quickly becomes apparent that what they're actually worried about is Dethklok's ability to inspire people with their music, as all they want is for the world is to remain conflicted and controlled by them. Furthermore, Salacia himself usually orders the other members to do nothing, often closing out meetings with some variation of "We Wait."

Our first indication Salacia's more than just a particularly important stuffed shirt comes in the first season finale, in which the Tribunal's religious advisor Cardinal Ravenwood (concerned about a prophecy that says Dethklok will destroy the world in an "apocalypse of metal") and military advisor General Crozier (who unlike the others actually cares about the people harmed by the disasters the band causes) betray him and attempt to assassinate Dethklok. Just as they're about to succeed, Salacia suddenly appears before them, and telekinetically kills their soldiers by making their heads explode and Ravenwood by forcing him to vomit up his intestines. Claiming he needs Crozier alive, he simply erases him memories of the whole affair. Throughout the subsequent seasons he mostly returns to his Orcus on His Throne nature, though the few times he intervenes it's actually to help Dethklok rather than hinder them, as seen when he kills their treacherous publicist who is trying to murder them. He also appoints a replacement religious panelist in the form of Vater Orlaag, a Rasputin lookalike voiced by Malcolm McDowell, who we quickly discover is the head of a cult that worships Salacia as a god. In the second season finale, he takes over General Crozier's mind completely and uses him to reroute the US military's resources to build a colossal machine in the arctic tundra, codename: Falconback Project.

When Dethklok nearly break up in the fourth season, Salacia comes down to "introduce himself" in person to them, appearing as a colossal, glowing version of his usual form who massacres the audience at their last concert and kills their kindly old producer when he tries to defend them. Dethklok escape in a submarine, and it's noted that Salacia, for whatever reason, cannot enter the ocean. Dethklok's hypercompetent manager Charles Offdensen explains to the band that Ravenwood got the prophecy wrong - Dethklok is actually charged with saving the world from Salacia, the true cause of the Metalocalypse. Which the band take about as well as you might imagine.

Salacia, as it turns out, is an enormously powerful being from another dimension who became trapped in ours in ancient times, losing half his power in the process, and is thus known as "the Half Man" in the prophecy. Linked to both his abilities and Dethklok's is a bizarre astronomical object called the Doomstar, which serves as a portal back to Salacia's home dimension - he needs to open it to swallow the souls of other beings from his universe to regain his full strength. To do THAT he needs Dethklok's power channeled through the Falconback Project, a huge superconductor, to pull the star close to Earth, explaining why he needs them alive despite their being prophesied to destroy him. In the finale, Salacia releases his hold over Crozier to instead possess William Murderface, Dethklok's bitterest member, to sabotage the band's efforts to write the Song of Salvation, the only thing that can destroy him; Nathan is being coached in writing it by telepathic messages from a whale. Seriously. The possessed Murderface is successful in breaking the band's confidence, and as a result, they write an incorrect song, pulling the Doomstar close to Earth and boiling millions of people to death. All the while, Salacia simply... watches.

However, General Crozier, thanks to his possession by Salacia, now knows exactly how his powers work. During Salacia's possession of Murderface, Crozier escaped into the ocean, exorcising Salacia from himself, and he teaches the band how to do the same for Murderface. The five members of Dethklok all reconcile, and perform the correct Song of Salvation using a hilariously colossal space-going stage that allows them to perform for the entire planet at once. Orlaag has the stage shot down, and Dethklok are captured and strapped to the super conductor. Their mystical energies feed into Salacia, allowing him to open the Doomstar Portal and regain his full strength, in the process causing a massive energy surge that agonizingly boils Stampingston and the other lesser Tribunal members to death. Dethklok's technician Edgar Jomfru sacrifices himself to destroy the superconductor, but Salacia survives encased in a huge, fleshy cocoon. Orlaag orders Dethklok killed, as they are no longer needed...

...but then? An enormous army of fans arrive, led by Offdensen; the Song of Salvation was entirely successful! In the ensuing battle, Crozier regains control of the military and Offdensen battles Orlaag, eventually sending the evil priest straight into the blades of a combine harvester. Salacia emerges from his cocoon as a huge, fleshy kaiju of a thing resembling the Giant Warriors from Nausicaa. He effortlessly slaughters the military, but then Nathan makes a decision - he shares the power of the Doomstar with Dethklok's army of fans, and together they blast Salacia out to the frozen arctic sea. ...and yet, he seems only barely injured. "Don't you know?" he gloats, "only a god can kill a god!"

And at that very moment, who should show up but the telepathic whale, who decides to have herself a bit of lightly-toasted Lovecraftian horror as a midnight snack. After a decade of Development Hell, sic transit Mister Salacia, the Half-Man who was oh so nearly whole.

Heinous standard?

HIGH. This is the classic Adult Swim Sadist Show cranked up to eleven; if somebody's not at least losing a limb or a few organs, something's going wrong. As mentioned, Dethklok's ignorance of their own mystical powers leads to an explicitly-given seven-digit body count of unfortunate fans, and other minor villains include the likes of a cannibal specializing in babies, a sexually predaceous film producer, a serial killing fashion designer whose signature is using his victims' flesh in the clothes he designs, the aforementioned murderous publicist, and the Arc Villain known only as the Metal Masked Assassin, a man so utterly brutal he once killed everyone in front of him simply to walk through a crowd. All of that is played for dark laughs.

However, Metalocalypse does have a lot more serious moments than, say, Family Guy or South Park. Salacia is virtually the only character never used for humor and his desire to roast the entire planet to regain his full strength is treated with appropriate gravitas. And as mentioned, there's quite a few hints that the world of Metalocalypse is so awful largely because Salacia and his followers are trying to keep everyone miserable and controlled.

Verdict?

If it's not another Jeff Fecalman-type situation where the dark comedy characters "objectively" out heinous the "serious" villains, easy yes.

It has been a BRUTAL privilege typing with you this afternoon!
