thaehl Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Oops my bad mythos fumble, I don't know why I always get that one wrong. :1_Exhausted_Puppet:MÖP! Baba Yaga is an Russian Myth, not a nordic one... big difference there... ---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ---------- I'm with ya on this one, looks just like the one from League of Extraordinary Gents. First thing I thought when I looked at Abdir (think thats his name) I felt had the feel of Nemo from the same film. Seems more like a doctor jekyll and mister hyde thing to me than the hulk. He looks very similar to the one from League of extraordinary Gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Cordell Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I saw Burt, Gracie and Wong mentioned as being from Big Trouble in Little China, but I didn't see Yan-Lo included. He's clearly based on the villain, Lo-Pan, who is also cursed to exist between life and death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Pandora is based on Pandora and her Box Nicodem and Mortiner are Birk and Hare also known as the resserectionist Steamborg are cyborgs but steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malovane Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Graves and Tannen remind me of Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar from Neil Gaimen's Neverwhere. The description of the pair in the graphic novel adaptation seems particularly fitting. The pair of Graves and Tannen also harken back to the Spawn comic and the characters of Sam and Twitch in their physical characteristics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limelizard Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I was so going to mention the Neverwhere reference if someone hadn't.

DeleteAccount Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Baby Kade has a huge Chucky like vibe coming from him. Avatar Seamus I'm thinking Mr Fixit (hulk in his gangster days) fits quite well too. Crooligans have a bit of City of the lost Children in there. The blessed of December and Storm also have huge influences from the Wendigo. Hell all of December's skit is that of the Wendigo elder god. The Slate Ridge Mauler is based on a bear.

Malovane Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Almost forgot, Tuco is the name of the "Ugly" character from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Seems to fit that western vibe.

You mean the great old one (which is different than an outer or elder god) Ithiqua. Wendigos are from native american lore (I don't remember what tribe). But yeah, December, does seem to have a lot of similarities to Ithiqua. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteAccount Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah, December is mostly Ithiqua (thanks for the name) while the blessed as a lot more of a Wendigo vibe of running about eating human flesh and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Lance Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) So Lucas McCabe's Stunner Spell, in my view, is based off the Stone Cold Stunner. Yan-Lo's Terracotta Curse is based off the practice of Terracotta statues in tombs. Edited September 27, 2012 by Wicked Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbe Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 just to add... collodi is right the nema of the writer of pinocchio, but the character sounds more like a distorted versione of geppetto (i dont know how to translate, me stupid italian ), the maker of pinocchio.. waiting now for the cat and the fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundwave Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The really old one Lady J is base on a comic book charactor (i don't know who) Neil gaiman, Lots of blind justice chick with katana. Honeypot is obviously a reference to how the casino looks vulnerable to hackers. Ok, not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 So I guess Eric and Nathan are fans of Neil gaiman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Justice is not based off Neil Gaiman's character though I could see where folks may think that. Alps are nasty buggers, look them up. Doppleganger precedes Hellraiser. Nicodem and Mortimer weren't based off Birk and Hare, though those are two very interesting historical characters. Baby Kade was created by my wife and based off our youngest in his hell raising moments. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunce002917 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just from my POV, I always thought Lady J (G.I. Joe character) was based on Jue from the Animatrix (The blindfolded fight scene was awesoMe.. spoiler - they both took a peek). Viktoria's Masamune was based on the Sword in Chrono Trigger (Frog's uber Sword). The Judge was based on Vash The Stampede (Trigun) The Executioner is a fan Edward Scissorhands The Freikorpsmen look like the enemy from Killzone 2 Seamus - Jack the Ripper/Mad Hatter Sidir - The guy Indiana Jones shot in Raiders The Death Marshalls - The Mariachi gnag from El Mariachi/Desperado or some anime.. Witchling Stalkers - Jawas Nicodem - The Undertaker lol Sebastian = Igor Marcus = The Beast Master/ Brave Starr? Hoffman = Professor X? Collodi looks like Jigsaw from Saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sticking with the western/miners theme the Honey Pot could also be inspired by the portable toilet (called the honey pot) that was wheeled through the mine so miners could relieve themselves. In the case of gold mines, miners would try to smuggle small nuggets of gold out of the mine by swallowing them. So who ever had honey pot duty would often sift through the crap to try and find gold that had been deposited on accident hoping to hit the jackpot. Kind of fitting for a casino in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
