Hyperfast megaviolence solomissions. Gun/blade/military violence vs tooth/fang/genemodcreature violence. Huge chasm in between.
Colorscheme: metal/grey/awesome.
“The Game” is a neutral character who enforces the rules of the game. She is Angelina Jolie and Carrie Anne Moss. She is dressed in a jumpsuit of leather acanthus leaves. She can hover, and has mirrorshades made of leather acanthus leaves. (Don’t [...]
