alright this might be a bit long but here goes gimme some suggestions and some ideas that I could use please: The story starts out in the future where the new way through fighting is through armor battles. In armor battles anything can happen but one of the safest bets is that there is no deaths. That was until terrorists found a way to get through that and started to attack everything. The terrorists are looking for the legendary armor in which if you collect all the armors you can either rule or destroy the world. The unique thing about these armors is that each one is unique and different no 2 armors are directly the same, each armor is created by the owners own imagination. The even more unique thing about this is that you can never tell if anyone has the armor or not because the armor is customized to look like everyday clothing/accessories. Also all the armor have a different element; earth, water, fire, air, ice, lighting, light, and darkness (but light and darkness come later). To initiate a battle you would first have to challenge the person(s) to the battle and then yell activate (the armors name) then you would be teleported and people could watch the match through special connections through the armor. When a battle takes place all of the participants are sent to a battle ground in either space or on a distant planet. Alright onto the main character, the main character just moved into the city where this fighting is a way of life and a gigantic craze. So he becomes apart of this new craze and gets his own armor. The main character is about 16-17 years old. Later on he meets some new friends and starts to become stronger and meets the villain and battling against him and other rivals and such but thats kind of jumping ahead now. We were thinking of having about a character for each element and other characters that have their own special abilities and such. Thinking that there would be a swordsman, gunman(woman)/sniper, spears man(woman), healer, mage, and some other sort of fighter. We were also thinking that to not make it seem that we are gay (no offense to other gay people) that we would have at least 3 girl characters. This manga is more directed at older teens/adults (maybe) cuz there is definitely going to be blood and killing. But the whole manga is not all serious there will probably still be a good amount of humorous parts and maybe some implied romance here or there but would still considered to be an action/adventure manga. Some things that you guys could tell us would be helpful is: * suggestions for names of characters (first and last please) * what characters should look like (but to be honest both of us cannot really draw) * different powers/abilities - so far we have a villain that has the power to control time for a little while and another that can control dimensions - we were also considering that some of the armors would have a mind of their own and would sometime go berserk and destroy things * and any other suggestion that might help us make a popular manga So how is this new manga that both my cousin and I thought up of in about a couple of days. Also another note is that we are trying to make this as realistic as possible, except the fighting, but more of the world as realistic as possible. I am perfectly fine with constructive criticism but just don't be too harsh, cuz this is the first time that I have done this. So reviews? |

This is not really my kinda genre with the robots and stuff,but pretty good! Are you trying to make the names sound Japanese? Is it going to be in this world?(Same contries and such?) Some good advice is, just think up names as you go! If it's supposed to sound Japanese maybe even Haruki Izato?(made that name on the spot!) It's quite easy! Maybe you should have a short-tempered,loud mouth,greedy guy for a main character,maybe a nice,shy,guy. Use your imagination! I recommend a main character who's short-tempered,loud-mouthed,but actually kind and quite loving inside! That's a quite often used character personality, and maybe a love interest with a personality to match that of the main character!(maybe you could even have a child genius be a part of it!)Most main characters have a fire attribute,but what's yours!? you could make him kind of similar to you! I like drawing myself and dream to become a Mangaka so this is just some advice,man! Anyways,Peace Man! P.S. This is just my advice if you don't like it chuck the idea out the garbage! |

I agree with Saan-san(souds wierd?) I also hate it when people give HARSH CRITICISM. That makes me give up everything! So~ maybe if you're gonna make personalities, try something funny! maybe a nice,shy, guy that's always in the wrong place at the wrong time! Oh I love Irony! My brother is planning to be a mangaka but you'd know that already! how?, Saan is my bro! |

hmm... thanks for the advice guys but the thing is Saan, that this is not really a robot thing more like a PvP (player vs. player), but just with armor/weapons kinda thing and we're gonna try to use any kind of name that we can in this instead of just going to have it be a japanese thing also this manga is probably going to take place in the future on earth and for a personality I think that maybe the main character be more of a kind, benevolent type of person that is trying to keep everything in peace cuz I've seen a couple too many anime's of the really mean but kind hearted stereo type |

I read through your concept and I can't help but think it's going to be like "Air Gear" with "armors" instead of AT's LOL Okay first my suggestion on the main character: I suck at giving names so let's skip that Personalty/background: I would skip the hot headed type since that is a cliché of shonen manga, (since you said your demographic is older teen/adult) a nice soft spoken polite guy that has a strong sense of justice, that at first would seem that he wouldn't be able to hurt a fly but actually very skilled, would be my template. (give him some sort of flaw too) If It was me, I would not have him jump head first into this "armor" craze he would be reluctant even after being persuaded by his new friends to try it out. but as fate would have it his friends would get in to trouble with the "terrorist" and the only way to save them would be to use the "armor". in reality he's already an awesome "armor" user but has decided not to use it again because of an incident that happened in the past, the same incident that made him move to this new city. About the battles: I suggest not teleporting them to another planet/place etc. rather have some sort of barrier be erected around a specific radius around the combatants. GOLDEN! |
