~+[Wars of the Art III: The Cold War]+~
(Please note that you do not need to check these links of the previous threads in this series, but they're funny! And I would recommend reading the old WOTA threads at some point just for the comedy value - links to the old threads are in bold)
The first Art War was long and vicious. It was a war that turned heroes into monsters... And some monsters into heroes... In 1937, UltraSafe 8000, veteran of the first Art War, was elected President of the World, and declared the beginning of Art War 2. It was a long, deadly war, marked by violence and terror. President UltraSafe ruled the world, steering the course of war like a puppeteer, until the strings became tangled, his popularity plummited and the people demanded an end to his Reign of Terror... Unfortunately, President UltraSafe, the baddest of bad losers, had other ideas... As his final act of Presidency, he plunged the world into a nuclear winter that would destroy the world's society, and most of it's life. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The year now is 1964, and for the first time in nearly 20 years the sun is shining over the frozen world below. Drawn to it's light, the survivors of the Winter climb up to see what remains of the world. And so begins a war for resources and warmth. So begins a war for domination over the world's new society. So begins... Wars of the Art III THE COLD WAR The Aim of the Game: Fairly simple, You create a character. Lots of other people create characters. Once we begin, you pick another player’s character and attack them. Then you pick someone else, or indeed the same character again, and attack them too! Repeat times infinity. This is not an RPG: You are free to harm/maim/murder another player’s character. And no matter how many times your character is killed, you are always welcome to bring it back again. You are a hero with infinite Extra Lives! The idea is not to be the best fighter or to be indestructible, but simply to have FUN! Don’t get angry if other people kill your character; just kill theirs in return! A few words of advice: You might want to avoid creating a really complicated character because if other people can’t draw them, they won’t attack them, and you’ll have nothing to do! Half the fun is in seeing other people attack your character! However, don't go the other way and over simplify; a box with eyes won't be much fun, 'cus it can't do anything. Use some creativity but bear in mind the laziness of the average Oddworld Forum member :p So that’s it. Now go forth, make your character, post it in this thread and once we have a few the time will be ripe to launch your attack upon the internet. You can join any time, even after the thread has started. If the thread is 15 pages long when you arrive, you can still join. In the previous editions of WOTA, story-lines have formed, from simple grudges to full on world domination plots. However, you do not need to read the whole thread to join (though it'll probably be worth it for the entertainment value). If you were a member of a previous WOTA, you are free to bring back your old characters. Alternatively you could make brand new ones! The theme of this thread seems to be nuclear winter and a rebuilding society, so feel free to work this into your pictures (or not). The golden rule: All’s fair in Art and War! |
The RC has returned.

My poorly drawn Alien. |
An irreplaceble individual... With powers unlike anything you've ever seen... A somewhat idle verteran of the second War... And maybe the last hope for all... I give you... Oddey's... Magic Eraser.
As you can see, he likes to keep up to date with the news. Sorry about the file being jpg. |
seems like a pretty cool idea
Gordon Brown http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1262344651 I'm thinking he'll have the same powers as the completely unrelated Prime Minister of the same name (levitation, super-human strength, etc.) and to avoid confusion those things in the middle of his face are eyebrows, he has no visable eyes |
BEST!
WOTA CHARACTER! EVER!!! (Will introduce my characters soon, when I have more time) |
TrifleCrab returns. To clear up confusion, his legs and bottom shell are custard, his upper body is jelly, his eyes are whipped cream, and his pupils cherries, with their stalks functioning as eyebrows to make him look more darstardly and psychotic. He looks like this:
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1240816898 Okay, strips away! http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1262365602 EDIT: Ignore the eraser marks - stupid GIMP... |
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2640/bluestar.png
Behold: Blue Star! I don't know why I call him that. It may have something to do with the fact that he is blue... http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3339/battlegroundd.png He lives in a bush by a waterfall. Edit: Time for some strips He lived there until one day...: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8766/blueterfall.png I KNEW LIVING IN A BUSH ON THE SIDE OF A WATERFALL WAS A BAD IDEA! http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/193/ouchw.png OW! Thank god that child was here to break my fall. Wait, I can feel sunshine! It's been so long... http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1626/clearh.png Wow! Sun! It's amazing! 'Hey you!' Aw, shit. http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/5093/eventx.png 'GET THE HELL OUTTA' THE PRE EVENT DISPLAY!' Awww... (Note: He's not that small, it just looks that way beacuse of the distance from the guy) |
I got bored of my old characters... I made a new one!
Name: "Noob" Occupation: Noob Age: Supposedly 5. He has a very short temper (no bigger than a newborn's thumb) known to hack to get his ways, and some occasions with an axe, and has a large weapon stash under his couch. EDIT: Made a my first attack! NOTE: The second frame, Noob is saying: "Screw long dialouges! You die now!" |
|
Counter/double attack! Oddey's eraser is now suffering under the power of FRICTION! :fuzmad:

Blue Star: I hate it when that happens. Noob: So, uh, what can you do? Blue Star: I can erase pencil with my tears. Stick Man (Out of display): WILL YOU TWO GET THE HELL OUT OF THE MUSEUM! http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3563/streetg.png Well, that suc- hey, cakes. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4888/street.png Oh yeah, apocalypse. |
You seem to have forgotten it is a magic eraser, and therefore, cannot be whittled down, and will in reality erase whatever it comes in physical contact with.
You're in a bit of a pickle. I bet somebody will come up with something to combat this. |
Just you wait! Another Double attack!

So much for me saying 'no blocks with eyes'.
In other news, it's time for my characters to crawl out from under the wreckage! Sadly, the pacman ghosts didn't survive 20 years of nuclear winter. However, a certain blond bombshell was more fortunate... http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1262393795 Rosemary Beaufau was recruited by President UltraSafe 8000 during Art War II to star in a series of highly successful silent movies containing 'tactfully hidden' pro-government messages. Rosemary later dated a terrorist's henchman but when her fiancé was seemingly murdered by the serial killer, Carl, she ended her life as a damsel in distress and began a career as a deadly femme fatale, hunting down Carl on a quest for revenge. In the end she managed to track down and kill Carl but part of her plot to do so involved her betraying President UltraSafe, and after Carl's death she was thrown into jail, where she remained until the beginning of the nuclear winter. How did she survive the Arctic cold? Who knows? She keeps this secret close to her heart. Oh, alright. Allow me to introduce General UltraSafe 8000. http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1262393795 Aaaand here's the terrifying legacy of UltraSafe 8000! http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1262393795 (Hey, if he can't rule a country then neither can anyone else!) |
A powerful bone crushing safe and a katana wielding stick chick? More difficult than I thought... Noob may have a good weapon stash that varies to magical weapons to nuclear terrors and can be at two places at once (proven in above posts).... Hmmm.... They are indeed powerful adversaries...

Here I present to you...
WONDER-GOD! Entirely black and white bar the bolts of raw lightning he produces from his fingertips (and the tips of other extraneous body parts), WONDER-GOD is the omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, omnivorous, omnidirectional, omnibus deity of the Caraway Lands. Fear him, and lo!, ye shall be smote by his wondrous Lightning Rod. http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1262402882 |
General Ultrasafe? It's good to see the curly 'tash back, anyway. Just before reading that, I thought I hope rosemary returns for this war...
Attack #1 by me http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1262403100 Circle>Square |
lol, theres gotta be some deep rooted insecurities when a god needs to add wonder to his name, LOVE IT

Gordon Strikes Back (not quite as visceral as I wanted it :p) |
Hulaabeo, good thing Ultrasafe floats.
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1262480724 EDIT: Music to go with that, click the .zip below. That's me playing the flute. I though I had the music somewhere, so I quickly learned and recorded it. Sorry it isn't as good as it could be. |
Gordon At Sea sorry the quality's not great, wanted to post before someone else did :p |
And I thought that the animations in WOTA 2 were too much...
|
Insert Pirates of The Caribbean Theme below.
EDIT: Damnit Grieva! |
A magic pencil eh? Ona magic eraser? Isn't that the same as using a pencil on an eraser? Eraser wins.
|
Grieva, that last one was awesome. But wait: isn't the sea frozen? What kind of atomic winter is one which doesn't make oceans freeze?
I'll join as soon as my entry comic is done. |
