Re: The Colormen Thread

[Frankthetriviaman]

Good luck.

So tomorrow, I will be doing more "research" myself.  Yes, i will do the artifacts, but I will also be doing colormen too.

Please note though, because there are 300, for most I'll just assign an interesting trait and move on, since it would be impossible to develop 300 characters (plus ancestors, now that I think about it.)

For example, a minor colorman I will treat like this:

Man in Goldenrod: good, has a job as a florist.  Many of his spells involve bees and/or flowers.

And I will probably leave it at that.  If anyone wants to go farther though, I have no problems with it; all I ask is please keep the already existing traits in mind

[Toz76]

Aye aye. Perhaps you can join the Wiki? It would sure help, and you'd still be able to make traits.

[The Number of the Diesel]

I can get back to editing/adding/etc. in a short time, so I'll try to add some things to it.

[Toz76]

Excellent. Please see my blog post, I'd like a functional wiki.

[The Number of the Diesel]

I have, and I agree.

What about the Machinemen that I've made? Here's the list of them (there are but ten as of yet):

Man Of Diesel
Man Of Steam
Man Of Electric
Man Of Iron
Man Of Steel
Man Of Mower
Man Of Excavation
Man Of Demolition
Man Of Battleship
Man Of Plane

Weird, eh? What do you think?

[Frankthetriviaman]

It's interesting, but for now we should focus on the colormen specifically, like one of you said on the colormen wiki.  Once we got them out of the way we can do the machinemen.

(Btw, I saw that you created a page on The Prism in the wiki; for more information on it, there was a post made earlier on it.)

I'm not on my computer yet, just my iPhone.  I will come online later to resume my "research".  After I have done the artifacts, I will resume researching the colormen themselves.

[The Number of the Diesel]

Where is the post?

(And yes, I agree that we should stick with the Colormen first, but I just wanted to bring these guys up.)

[Toz76]

Man In Ghost White has debuted!

I'm also doing some research of my own, on the Bronze Mage, Amber Apricot, and Off-White. Expect them soon!

[The Number of the Diesel]

Yay!

So where is The Prism post?

Thanks!

MAN IN OFF-WHITE

Man in off-white pops up a lot. Mitch Verdeerlyee is his real name. He is evil, ruthless, and has no sense of hygiene.

Trivia:
1) The Rock of Verdeerlyee has been missing for 800 years, since the Off-Whites were the first to turn.
2) He is friends with man in Ghost White, Man In Vermilion, Man In Green, and Man In Olive.
3) A prophecy states that the current man in off-white will "hold the power of the sun in his hands, and return it to the earth." What this means is unknown.

[Frankthetriviaman]

Here is some more information on the artifacts known to exist:

Artifacts are granted to each of the colormen lineages. So long as the lineage remains good, the artifact is passed down from generation to generation. However, if the corruption lasts from generation to generation, the spirit of the first colormen of the bloodline or the Prism itself will strip the line of its artifacts until it is deemed to be good.

1. Blade of Erdagovern, owned by man in blue. It was the only artifact granted directly to a colorman by the prism. All artifacts since were forged and crafted by craftsmen within the first generation of colormen. The full extent of the blade's power is unknown, since Daniel Erdagovern, the current Man in Blue, will only use it in the most dire of situations
2. Wheel of texrab, owned by man in aquamarine. In its base state, just an ordinary, Medieval era cart wheel with strange markings on it. When the Man in Aquamarine says the spell to activate it, it transforms into a "chariot pulled by blazing horses." The full extent of its powers, and its purpose, are unknown
3. Spear of criddleton, owned by man in gold. When wielded and the Man in Gold says the spell, he obtains golden armor and power exponentially increases. Because the Man in Gold has traditionally been the Keeper of the Archives, throughout the generations he has seen little combat. Thus, the full extent of the power is unknown.
4. Gauntlet of Randow, owned by man in silver. When he declares "By the Power of the House of Randow, give me the strength to purge the evil from this land!" Lightning strikes the ground in front of the Man in Silver. At this point, the wielder is able to shoot Lightning Bolts from the gauntlet (For those unfamiliar, a gauntlet is similar to a glove; it is the part of a knights armor that covers the hand and forearm, and in this case, it is for the right hand). Whether or not this is the full extent of its powers, is unknown
5. Bell of Sedkra, owned by man in teal. Kept safe in a church bell tower when not in use, the Bell of Sedkra, when its spell is said, creates a powerful sonic wave that knocks out all within its range, except the Man in Teal. This is believed to be the full extent of its power
6. Spike of Gridlon, owned by man in Cerulean. When its spell is said, the wielder grows to 30 feet tall, and the Spike increases in size. This is believed to be the full extent of its power
7. Crest of Fondown, owned by man in royal blue. When worn, it morphs into powerful armor that exponentially increases the wearer's strength. Believed to be the full extent of its power
8. Shroud of Cadaro, owned by man in Sepia. When worn, the wearer's knowledge and power exponentially increases, very nearly to that of the prism itself. Believed to be the full extent of its power.

Reference has also been made to:

1. Helmet of Cronk, owned by Man in White
2. Javelin of Blackson, owned by Man in Black

However, the whereabouts of both are unknown. The Javelin alone has not been seen in more than 350 years.

[Toz76]

And the Rock of Verdeerlyee.

Which reminds me... we forgot sepia!

[Frankthetriviaman]

(I remembered Sepia; I edited the list as such)

A little more development on Man in Yellow:

David Trentmore is a timid, quiet man.  Though considered "evil" he'd rather not be, but he doesn't have the guts to stand up to the likes of man in red, black or green.  This is made worse because among the evil colormen, yellow is considered a "weak" color.

Despite being 28 years old, he is 5'2", weighs 140 lbs and looks a lot younger than he really is.

Given that he is not a "major" character, this is probably as far as I will develop him

[Toz76]

THE BRONZE MAGE

The bronze mage is the original man in bronze. After an encounter with an ancient unicorn tapestry (remember that, guys?), he received immense power, but it drove him mad. He turned evil, and took the Bronze Artifact, the Staff of Phiphyxilstix, for his own. The current man in bronze, his descendant, is determined to kill the Bronze Mage and purify his bloodline- all men in bronze have either turned evil or died painfully by the age of 30, and he is 27.
After the Crosby Oil Spill, The Bronze Mage and his apprentice, Percy Silver, are loose, gathering strength.

[CGT]

But Percy Silver is an engine now, remember? He works with Logan by the dam.

[Frankthetriviaman]

Actually what I remember was Bronze Diesel was revealed to be the Bronze Mage, and his henchmen were gold Thomas and silver Percy, and he soon raised an army of merchandise characters.  Eventually they became human again towards the end of that conflict

[CGT]

But after that Sam, Silver Percy, and Logan were turned back to engines and were the engines to bring stone so workers could do regular maintenance to the dam.

[Frankthetriviaman]

Ah yes, I remember that now.

I also remember that as of now, due to Sam's accident he is in America getting repaired, because the steamworks could not accommodate him.  Don't remember what became of Logan though

[Toz76]

I believe Silver Percy was turned back to human when Woman In Pink was corrupted by the Bronze Mage. Besides, the duo was hilarious!

[Frankthetriviaman]

If I get the chance, I'll try to rewrite some of the bits from that arc and put them somewhere.

[Frankthetriviaman]

Diesel 11-
Just wanted to let you know, if you are going to include pictures of people, you need to add disclaimers under them that those pictures are stock images.

[Toz76]

I'm removing most of them. A couple are passible depictions, but most are not. If possible, I'll make some pics via Gocomics, like I did for the Cocopuff Wiki.

[Frankthetriviaman]

That would be good.

I believe the most detailed descriptions available so far are for Man In Blue, Man In Black and Man In Yellow; you could start there.
