The Q Chronicles

Episode 3: Nath's Wrath (coming soon)
Episode 4: ReQonstruction And other Stories (coming soon)
Q
Sex: Male Race:Q Elf Class: Wizard
The main protagonist (an I use that term loosely) who used to be an all-knowing god-like being has now been demoted to the ranks of mortal. He is rather vain and believes himself to be better then everyone else. He retains his all-knowingness but has lost every other one of his powers.
Back story
Spoiler
Q has toured the cosmos for fun and excitement, and recently discovered that putting mortals into deadly and whimsical challenges and watching them get out of them is fun. Because too many of the mortals had died, he was let off with a warning, been given a chaperone, and finally stripped of his powers.
Relationship with the rest of the party
Spoiler
Q feels it necessary to make fun of Grinly whenever possible because he questions his leadership skills, dispite the fact that Grinly has saved Q’s life. Grinly feels that Q is someone who can help them destroy the Darkness-wanderer once and for all despite the fact that he tortures Grinly. This means that they do not like each other, but are still willing to tolerate each other.
Q thinks of Porky as an animal or a stupid half-orc, and makes fun of because of his orcish lineage. Porky hates Q with all of his might because of how he tested his family with is sick little “games” and Porky’s brother didn’t live. Porky hates Q and will kill Q if he ever gets the chance, but because of Grinly, Porky chooses to tolerate Q.
Q doesn’t dislike Sarah, but like everyone else in the party, he looks down on her like a lower life form. Sarah hates Q because of how he killed Porky’s brother, as well as many others.
The One Who Must Not Be Named and Q have something of a friendship because of their mutual interest of torturing Grinly and Porky. Q hasn’t done anything to antagonize the dragon, so they are on relatively good terms.
Q treats the green-shirted Q with disrespect, yet has dropped the occasional hint that he may like his company and friendship.
Grinly
Sex: Male Race: Human Class: Cleric
Grinly is a wise old man who has taken up adventuring in his old age. Although he has dreams of world domination, has killed lots of people in his time, and can animate undead, he is not necessarily evil. He will often try to trick you into thinking that though. He often uses bizarre metaphors. He also where's dark, strange robes that look like he has something to hide.
Back story
Spoiler
Grinly’s back story is shrouded in mystery. We know that he has showed darkness and evil at a very early age and became and evil overlord very early in his life. He has been known to have gone missing for over 70 years and no one knows where he was for the duration of his time. Grinly has also been very careful not to reveal too much about his back story to his teammates because he fears they will not respect him anymore. We will learn more about Grinly as the story progresses.

Grinly and Porky have a close relationship, both being the closest thing the other has had to a friend. Porky still believes Grinly to be a master, and believes himself to be a lowly servant.
Grinly thinks of Sarah to be something of a granddaughter, and Sarah thinks of Grinly as something as a father. Sarah has a close bound to Grinly because he adopted her when her own lousy parents abandoned her, and that he doesn’t fear or lust after her.
The One Who Must Not Be Named sees Grinly as nothing more then an employer, but continues to work hard for his great pay. If the right price is given, Carl would betray Grinly without a second thought.
Porky
Sex: Male Race: Half-Orc Class: Paladin
Q had killed his brother when he was 12, and know he has sworn revenge! He takes his honor quite seriously. He is a stick-in-the-mud and is often angered by his teammates schemes. He is much smarter then the average Half-Orc, and is ironically the smartest member in the party. Despite his gruff demeanor, Porky can be sweet and loving.
Back story
Spoiler
Porky’s back story is probably the harshest. He has part of a loving family in a peaceful Orcish/human village that didn’t like fighting. Because of their peaceful existence, Porky’s family was enslaved quickly by humans. Porky was quickly brainwashed by the humans to except law and honor. Despite his liking to work, he was forced to escape by his family, who kidnapped him from his new master. Porky, still brainwashed, decided to return to his master. After getting hopelessly lost and unable to go back, he returned home, where he learned that the village was tested by Q, and his brother was one of the many who died that day. His parents committed suicide out of grief. Porky then wandered off and ran into Grinly, who adopted him just like Sarah.
After a while, however, Porky could see that Grinly’s deeds were evil and decided to leave the group and pursue being a priest. He spent the rest of his days in a church, until on day he someone tried to kill him and, out of self defense, Porky killed the attacker, forcing him to leave town and rejoin Grinly.

Sarah

Q
Sex: Male Race:Qhuman Class: No classMonk.
Q (or green-shirt Q as he has been designated by fans due to his trademark Hawaiian shirt) is a rather fun loving, goofy, and arguably stupid buddy of Q. He has just recently given up his powers to go on vacation with his girlfriend.
Q

The Bad
Spoiler
The Darkness-wanderer
Sex: Male Race: Darkness-wanderer Class: No class Wizard
This Darkness-wanderer has a plan to take over all the universe. Although not the leader of the Darkness-wanderers, he is known as the Darkness-wanderer. He is very gentlemen-like and is also very forgiving of his minions. His evil hasn't been shown yet, but it's definitely present. He believes he is a liberator and believes he is a good guy. How Grinly knows him is unknown
Xenaria
Sex: Female Race: Human Class: Wizard/Sorcerer
She is the Darkness-wanderer's wife, and his only connection to the mortal realm. Because the Darkness-wanderer can't go in Star-wanderer territory, he needs Xenaria to scry and bring him back info on the world when he needs it. She only dresses like that to please her husband because she chooses to, and the Darkness-wanderer hasn't ordered her to do so.
King Bortak
Sex: Male Race: Gargoyle Class: Barbarian
He is the Darkness-wanderer's current chief minion. He is the right-hand man and the leader of all the gargoyles. He only follows orders because he fears the Darkness-wanderer's sheer amount of power. He is a big brute, idiot and showboat, often forgetting a plan by gloating too much.
Zuy Civid
Sex: Male Race: a possessed suit of amour(previously human) Class: Fighter/Sorcerer
Zuy used to be a King, but Q came in and destroyed his kingdom, as well as killed him. Q then, as a joke, bound his soul to his suit of amour, making him a hideous abomination. Now he's back, and is the leader of Ra's Clerics, as well as the owner of the Fortress of light. He is an expert swordsman and moderately good caster. He has a pair of armored and winged shoes which grant him flight. He is not affiliated with the Darkness-wanderer in any way.
Santa Six
Sex: Male Race: unidentified Class: Rouge/Illusionist
Santa Six used to be the One Who Must Not Be Named’s partner in crime back in the gnomish lands, but he turned in his partner for half the reward money. He was recently employed by the Darkness-wanderer to kidnap Fayt’s sister, but he backed out of the deal and has kidnapped Kate for his own scandalous deeds. He is now hunted by Grinly’s team and the Darkness-wanderer. He is an epic rouge and a dangerous illusionist, a very deadly combo.
Kate
Sex: Female Race: Human Class: Druid
Kate is Fayt's sister, who had been kidnapped by Santa Six and was convinced by him to become his new sidekick. Now she works for the bad guys. While she not being bad herself, she has no concept of right and wrong.
Dispite her age, she is freakishly and rather mysteriously high level even enough to match Grinly's team in battle. Because of her age, she isn't too bright or wise, making her druid powers weaker then they should be, but still pretty strong. She is partial to flowers, pandas and pink and purple things.
The Ugly
Spoiler
434 Innocent Volt
Sex: (do archons have gender's?) Race: Archon Class: (do archons have classe's?)
A monitor to the Hall of the Star-wanderer's. He knows everything about the Star-wanderers and has a lot of information about the Darkness-wanderer's. You can be sure we haven't seen the last of him.
The first minion
?
Sex: Male Race: Azevedroid (previously human) Class: Cleric
We know nothing about this guy, except that he used to work for the Darkness-wanderer as his first chief minion before King Bortak. He betrayed the Darkness-wanderer for some reason, and his fate is unknown, except that he is alive. Will we see him in the future? Maybe. Maybe not.
The Randomizer
Sex: Male Race: Arcane incarnation Class: wizard
A sadistic, all powerful entity similar to Q, has now lost his powers like Q. He has been a mortal for 18 years but is still level one due to the fact he was incarcerated in the Fortress of Light. Why he was incarcerated, we don't know yet. His head is incorporeal and his hands can become chainsaws, making him very powerful despite low level.

nerd #2: Thaks. Nice “Kal” costume
Panel 3: outside a stand of “Anti-Heroes action figures”, there are two nerds arguing.

G-S Q: Nameless! I’m your biggest fan! Please sign this picture I drew of you!
(a poorly drawn picture of Namless is shown)(Nameless signs the picture)
G-S Q: Wow! You rock! I just wanted to say that you have the best comic in the world!
Nameless: well, thanks a lot. I really apriciate it.
Nameless(to R-S Q): would you like something signed to?
R-S Q: are you kidding? I loathe your comic! Your comic isn’t worth a dime! Your story dosen’t go anywhere and your jokes suck! It is only enjoyable by big, brainless morons like Q! I’m outta here.
(Nameless looks slightly hurt but not really)
G-S Q: Don’t feel bad. He dosen’t mean it. He’s just grumpy because his comic is nowhere near as good as yours!

My Name is (FA)Q! (See what I did there?)
Spoiler
Q: Is that the same Q from Star Trek?
A from Q: No. That character is totally new. He may have a similar personality and situation to the original Q, but he is a completely different person with his own motivations and dreams. I made him up.
Q: Are you really old? What’s your proof?
A from Q: I am 83 years old. Since I can’t work my camera, I have no proof and you’ll have to take my word for it. I can tell you that I like Ike, I grew up in a time when people were respected and nobody used “Lol” in a sentence and used English language to speak, commies were feared all around and TVs were cubes with black and white pictures. Other then that, you’ll just have to believe me, as strange as that may sound to you. You can believe whatever you want to believe.
Q: What program do you use?
A from Q: Corel Draw PHOTO-PAINT 8. As I’ve said MANY times.
Q: What don’t you use Inkscape?
A from Q: because I don’t want to. I like my program.
Q: What don’t you use Inkscape?
A from Q: because I also don’t have the patience to learn a new art style and make new templates for everybody.
Q: What don’t you use Inkscape?
A from Q: I just said!
Q: What don’t you use Inkscape?
A from Q: Stop asking!
Q: What don’t you use Inkscape?
A from Q: Why are you pestering me?! Why can’t I use the drawing system I want?! Can’t I have my drawing FREEDOM?!
Q: What don’t you use Inkscape?
A from Q: GO AWAY!
Q: What don’t you use Inkscape?
A from Q: I’m gonna lie down now.
I think my updating will be similar to today: Quick but random.
I'm glad my comic is getting ad least a little popular.
Oh yeah, about the banners. I'm waiting for the story to start up, the other main characters to be introduced and the comic to be more popular before I make banners.
So for now, You'll just have to post a link to the site in your signature.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but could you consider looking for an artist to make the comics?
I wouldn't mind if this were just another dumb A&C webcomic that's going to die in a few days, but I think the writing is pretty interesting. The art just seems a bit... offsetting.

I am aware of the art. I am still getting to reknow the program I'm using since I haven't used it in a year. I'm still going to do the art myself, but garentee that the art will get much better.
