Amethyst

Allison created her own superheroine with the Heromachine, she had no name for her character or a backstory. I came up with a name, Amethyst. But I have no backstory for her. I did look up the jewel Amethyst and the meaning behind it. One particularly interesting thing about the jewel was what Leonardo Da Vinci was supposed to have said about it, “Leonardo Da Vinci wrote that amethyst was able to dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence.” So I would say that this character has something to do with being very intelligent.

Update: There seems to be a lively discussion about my superheroes in the comments section. Apparently when someone can fly and sprout wings from their back the most unbelievable thing about them is that they fight crime and miss important TV shows. Yep, that is the most unbelievable thing in my character’s backstory.

The heros in a half shell are back, or will be back on 3/30/07. I loved the Ninja Turtles and especially the first movie. It was a very good movie. It even had Corey Feldman voice my favorite turtle, Donatello. Everything after that was not good, this movie is going back to the roots of the characters. The trailer is awesome!

Apple – Trailers – TMNT

Update: I watched this again and I have to say that this is how a trailer should be shot. It shows the characters that we know and love, it shows that they have their signature looks and personalities. It has almost no dialogue and it reveals nothing of the movie. The trailer is brilliant.
