I see myself as the bastard child of Peter and Egon: Peter's wit and laziness combined with Egon's intellect, eccentricity, and lack of a social life.
He also built the Proton Packs. :wink:
but giant marshmallow man!
plus "Get her!"
So... let me try to paint my LXG world a little more...
With the Magna Carta in 1215 AD, Britain was technically run by a parliament, and in this era, the Ministry of Magic (in its most basic form, a way for the Wizarding World to interact politically with ordinary society) was organized. At this same time, King John I of England opened the first Talamasca House in England to monitor the supernatural world. The Talamasca eventually became autonomous from the crown but never ceased its careful study of the world's non-human inhabitants... It will later be revealed that the Talamasca is the source that has funded the Watcher's Council for centuries upon centuries. They reveal themselves to Rupert Giles, the last of the original Watchers, and request his assistance to find the Boy Who Lived, who was last seen in the Americas... I'm not entirely sure what the plot will be yet, but that's the basic set-up. I don't want Voldemort to be the villain, because that'd be waaaay too easy... I'm trying to think of Dark Wizards from other mediums...
Here's My Tentative Line-Up for my Team:
Rupert Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) will play a relatively large role in setting up the team, but I think that it will be Buffy Summers herself who ends up as the team's leader when it comes down to it. Buffy will be in her mid twenties, as is Harry... They will be opposites, but very much alike, both of them having been known as the Chosen One, and eventually finding solace in eachother, perhaps as a romantic couple. At first I see them hating eachother, though.
Harry Potter (The Harry Potter Book Series). I think that regardless of how the series ends, Harry will exist in this world... Either being revived by some dark forces, or being a dark loner figure blaming himself for all those he failed to save. If, as many suspect, the death of voldemort erases the scar from his forehead, I would have him carve it back in and refusing to heal it, as self-punishment. After a decade on the road (remember, with HP continuity, book seven takes place in 97 or 98 ), he will look more and more like his godfather Sirius Black. Exploring America on Sirius' flying motorcycle... Until Buffy and Giles track him down with the help from an Ancient Vampire.
Armand (The Vampire Chronicles), after working with David Talbot, the leader of the Talamasca, to write his life history, he agrees to act as an Agent of the Talamasca, observing the Journey of Buffy (whom he will dislike and distrust) and Harry (whom he will love, at least until the introduction of Clint. Eternally 16, but alive since the age of Byzantium, He will add an interesting dynamic to the group... I would love a confrontation between Spike and Armand... Spike underestimating his sheer power due to his age, but that wouldnt be important to the story.
Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. (The Indiana Jones series) He will be 108 years old by the start of this series, but an encounter with the fountain of youth returned him to his twenties when he was in his sixties, so he looks around his mid-sixties. He will look like a cross between Sean Connery's Henry Jones Sr. and an older Harrison Ford. When the threat of the Anti-Christ rears its head, Buffy and Harry turn to this experienced adventurer to find the weapon through which they might destroy him.
William Parry (His Dark Materials), bearer of the newly reforged subtle knife, also called "The Godkiller". This is the only means by which they will be able to destroy Damien. Perhaps when he appears the knife remains broken, and they must find a means by which to repair it... His father will have known and been close to Indy, so he will look at Will as a surrogate son...
Dr. Egon Spengler (Ghostbusters), When Evil rears its head, Ghosts don't merely disperse into the air like they did in His Dark Materials, they become darker and continue to grow in power and influence, becoming less and less human. Spengler will have retired as an active member of the Ghostbusters, instead studying the nature of Ghosts. The growing evil around the world has led to business being higher than ever for the Ghostbusters, and when he connects the facts to the emergence of the Anti-Christ, he realizes that the Anti-Christ must be destroyed, even if that means no more ghosts to bust.
Clint Majors, the son of Brad Majors and Janet Weiss from The Rocky Horror Picture Show (although it will later be revealed that he is actually part Transylvanian, being the child of Janet and Dr. Frank-N-Furter). He will be raised as a wholesome young boy, his parents having absolutely refusing to acknowledge the events that occured in 1975 that led to Clint's birth. His quickly discovered sexuality will give him power, and with Armand he will discover the side of him that will give him the persuasive abilities of Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Jay and Silent Bob (View Askewniverse, Most specifically, Dogma) Their role as Prophets will be finally explained... They will also be caring for the newly begotten son of God, who will have to play some sort of role in destroying the Antichrist. The son of Bethany Sloane from Dogma I'll name Joshua Sloane... He will be seven years old when the story begins, but I see it taking place over seven years, so when he finally confronts Damien he'll be a fiesty Fourteen year old raised and trained by Buffy, Harry, and all of the other characters listed above.
The Big Bad of my Series will be Damien Thorne (The Omen), now in his early forties... He is, quite simply, the son of The Devil, and the most darkly evil being on the planet. He is working to throw off the balance created in the aftermath of the His Dark Materials trilogy (which im having trouble reconciling with the world of the Vampire Chronicles, but it will come to me in time).
I'll think up a more coherent plot soon...
Its Indiana Jones, man...
Indiana Jones is THE American Hero.
Its Indiana Jones, man...
Indiana Jones is THE American Hero.
And he's the greatest original screen hero of all time.
Like Imagine Bruce Campbell the usher for high-class broadway theater, seeing a band of zombies being raised by the anti-christ... breaking into a store across the street to get a chainsaw and then raising hell in his little red vest.
This seems like fun
I'm going to think about it
