Genchu gave up the ghost pretty fast there! Then again, he may just be relieved to find kindred spirits in his current goal. I’m looking forward to the probable antics that will transpire with these three.

On an unrelated note, I’m contributing a ten page short story to an adult fantasy comic anthology called Armorous. It’s just me contributing to the project, no Joe involved. The project itself is NSFW but there’s nothing on the kickstarter page that’s more than PG13. If sexy comics don’t bother you, check it out! You can see some of my work on the kickstarter page. I also collaborated with Pascal on the cover, my drawing, her concept and colors. There’s also quite a few other really talented artists contributing stories. Also, If you pledge $150, I still have a commission illustration available as a pledge reward. That’s an illustration I’ll do of any subject of your choosing, full color! We’re more than 20% of the way to our goal, so I just wanted to plug it here if anyone’s interested!

Nameless Marauder

Don’t fret Ricardo, even if everyone else sabotage your livelihood you still have a shot at the Opera. Think positive

  He actually has no interest in theater due to the lack of profitability.

    He just needs Ken outside to “convince” people to buy tickets.

Its a sinister conspiracy about minorities trying to screw over the job creators while pretending to be his friend.
- Nameless Marauder
  
  although being a Death Dealer sounds somewhat awesome, i don’t think that as a job this would be perceived as a good thing in anyone’s résumé
  - http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
    
    Death dealers are only somewhat awesome? That’s kind of a wishy washy sentiment! They are either super awesome are very not awesome at all!
    - Nameless Marauder
      
      Your statement is “somewhat” right but also “somewhat” wrong. So i shall “somewhat” explain what i said before:
      
      Death Dealer sounds awesome specially if you take as a title for a warrior or someone in a similar situation.
      
      But as a paid job it lacks the same glamour. Instead the vibes from such a title would rub wrong with certain morally concerned parties or groups

    Dude, that sounds like a Prestige class in D&D.
    - Nameless Marauder
      
      Well if you are talking about Death Dealer the prestige class in the book Cry Havoc then sure fell free to associate with it
      
      Now if you are mentioning that other one for 4e, I’m sorry to inform you i shall deny any similarities to it, that’s because for me 4e is the same as Mass Effect 3 a mistake that should never be acknowledged by any sane individual.

  Is Ricardo a one percenter in this analogy?
  - endplanets
    
    Ricardo: “why yes, I am a 1 percenter. There are very few other whites in Japan. Far too many minorities here.”
    Sam: “Wait, hold on a sec, so whites are the minorities….. are you saying that the Asians are the minorities?”
    Ricardo: “I don’t understand the question.”

It’s like if the Three Stooges were secretly competent.

  I don’t think I’ve ever laughed at a Three Stooges skit in my life.
  - Mike
    
    ! Well nobody’s perfect I guess.

      It is entirely possible I have not seen the right ones.

        The first seasons great, the second was pretty good, too. It all went downhill from there.
noisyparker

Yeah, yeah… giving up fast, indeed. A bit too fast! Be careful about pinning him down there, Perry Mason… it looks like he is reaching for a weapon!
- http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
  
  Let’s begin the killing time! But, no, Genchu’s just doing his neck rub thing. He’s been doing it every time he gets in a slippery situation. I did not do a great job of drawing it this time, though! Because it does kind of look like he’s reaching behind him.
  - noisyparker
    
    nono… you conveyed it clearly. The thing I don’t necessarily convey is that most of my comments are just me looking at things in from a silly perspective.
    
    Then again… it makes sense that he would put his hand near a weapon whenever he is in a slippery situation. I think he is hiding his true intentions from you! One of these days he won’t hold back and you’ll be like, “wth! He just killed those other characters in that panel! B-but… they were involved in rest of the story and… I just…”.
    - http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
      
      Genchu’s gone very Kenshin in the last several years, you see. He’s tried to keep his violent rampages to a minimum seeing as how it’s usually kind of upsetting to everyone.
Hfar

You know, this may be the start of beaaauuutiful friendship.

  I am super excited to have these three bromancing it up on their road trip! Err, boat trip. Err, travels.
Lady Courage

Panel 2: Holy Innocence.

Panel 4: Sheepish grin and ~muscles~. Genchu must work out a LOT.
- http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
  
  Genchu sword practices in private every day for three hours, so when he meets a pirate he can kill it.
  - Lady Courage
    
    Good priorities there.
Neska

Well, at least the priest doesn’t want to start a crusade!
Friendly priest who can’t really convert anyone ’cause he doesn’t speak the local language and actively tries to stop the unnecessary killing is cool and can stay.
- MoveAlongCitizen
  
  The man cares for his profession and endeavors to apply it in a way that defies the “Deus Vult” thinking of many people of his day. This is probably why he’s voluntarily abandoned a potentially cushy life in Europe to journey to a foreign land where they might have shiskabobbed him the moment he stepped off the ship.
