Meet Kevin’s Roommates

*FOR EYES ONLY*

I’m writing this for my own safety. A dedicated record of the beings who will probably in some way bring about my downfall. There are three listed here, in descending order of potentially causing my doom. They are the villains to my super-barbarianism.

- Darwin

Name: Allison Skancel

Aliases: Darwin’s Public Enemy Number 1, Kevin’s Roadie, and sometimes aliases starting with either the letter ‘B’ or ‘S’.

Bio: A wealthy heiress, who enjoys buying people and shoes, she became one of Kevin’s roommates just so she could get into his panties. Hatred of her may be the one thing that could possibly bind Kendra and Darwin together.

Super Powers: Banshee Death Talk, Mass of Cleavage, and The Ability to Afford Assassins.

Name: Ronny “Hotdog” Fiveo

Aliases: Hotdog, Rumble-Belly

Bio: A big-city transplant who won the local hotdog eating championship, he loves puppies, Allison’s boobs, and long conversations about fictional martial art moves. Kind of heart and gullible, he is often taken advantage of by both people and literature, and may be the only man alive to have read all 24 parts of the handbook: “How to Be A Ninja and Fight Crime”.

Super Powers: Lifting Heavy Objects and Destroying Logic

Name: Steve

Aliases: Creepy

Bio: Having suddenly appeared one day without anyone really knowing where he came from, he is the most mysterious of all of Kevin’s roommates. He rarely speaks, and when he does it’s as short as possible. Oddly enough, sounds of a dog barking can often be heard coming from his room late at night.

Super Powers: Vanishing Into Thin Air, Looking As If He Could Kill Someone, and Making All The Peanut Butter Disappear.

My Name is Steve

Dave — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:01:00 +0000

Steve joined on with the Brother’s Malarkey when they needed them most, as the swarms of horrible Slimblines an even smellier cousin to Crablins, were threatening to overwhelm the party. The Slimblin’s acidic sweat had already eaten through the parties weapons and only Oscar’s fists and Vincent’s magic held them back. Although the Brother’s would never admit it, Steve’s archery skills saved them all that day.

As the brother’s got to know him, and got over their own hatred of humans, they found him to be a recluse more at home in silence than with conversations. They only thing that seemed to break Steve’s shell was his love of non-human woman. After Dromar caught Steve in bed with a distant Dwarven cousin, the infamous rogue Elhondra Thunderthighs, the party came close to fracturing but Oscar managed to broker a deal that would see Steve stay on as long as he began the five-year process to marry Elhondra.

Oscar Malarkey

Dave — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 06:50:00 +0000

The oldest of the three Malarkey brothers, Oscar inherited his father prodigious strength and resolve and none of the wits of either of his parents. Given to being both friendly and trustworthy, he is often taken advantage of, especially by the machinations of his youngest brother Rygar. Trained at an early age by his father in the fine art of blacksmithing, Oscar created his own set of armor created from various scraps and a sculpted hammer, that he lovingly engraved as “The Hammer”.

Kevin’s Roommates

Haven’t had time to work on Malarkey Brothers, been busy working on a 3 panel comic for the World of Warcraft comic contest. If it doesn’t win I’ll post the comic here in a few weeks, and if it does win I’m sure you will all hear about it, although my shouts of joy may alert my neighbors first.

Kevin’s roommates are about to make an appearance, character design sketches are below. Did these on paper, which is unusual for me, but my parents were visiting. My laptop can’t quite keep up these days with what I need to do with Illustrator, so I brought out all the old sketch pad and drew these while my parents and I watched a few movies and visited.
