OK but like. Are any of you interested in thorpe park characters

Finally drew one of my Efteling inspired characters

Not my best work but here's Will, member of E.F.T., inspired by Flying Dutchman at Efteling.

His powers include control of fog and storms, based on the second and third show scene of the rides dark section. (even though he's named after the historical figure featured in the rides story, he's not meant to be the same guy. Not like with Hector (Hex) actually being a member of the Talbot family. Will/William is just a common name in pirate/sailor media that I thought fit him.

Hector "Hex" Talbot

Ever since Hex was born in 1804, he was of poor health, his family keeping him inside of his room for most of the time. However, when a curse linked his family to the old oak tree and the tree got put in chains to prevent branches from breaking off and the curse taking effect, his health got better and he stopped aging.

He eventually became part of the organization that would found the Secret Weapons and is in charge of them. While he is mostly open and kind towards the SWs, he might know much more then he tells them.

As teased a few weeks (?!) ago, a few additions to my "coasterverse":

The Alton towers inspired "Secret Weapons Special Strike Force" is part of the larger "Watchtower Society", a multi national secret organization with many departments that don't necessarily know what most of the others are doing. For example, the existence of other super powerd (roller coaster inspired) team that even Hex as part of SW administration didn't know about. This is the efteling team.

Much like my secret weapons and defunct holiday park team, was founded by a Vekoma, an older cousin of the Corkscrews twins,who is still the leader of the team (Python). Much like my other two Vekoma OCs, she's a slender and very swift female but to represent the phytons re-track, her right arm is robotic.

Another one that mirrors the SWs team, Baron 1898, is Orson's "twin" (I will not stop being cryptic about Orson's origin) with a different set of powers (I am strongly considering that he can turn incorporeal and fly, much like the white women in the rides story). He's much more confident and controlled then Orson but doesn't know about their origin either.

I don't have a lot more on the efteling inspired team yet other then them being much more of a coherent team as opposed to the thrown together bunch of crazies that's the secret weapons 😅

To finish things off, some thoughts on the remaining efteling coasters:

Max & Moritz will definitely not be included in this. I liked the coasters but I know the story it's themed after just too well...

Joris/George and the Dragon might not be included for a similar reason. Considering that the coasters are two dragons, making the character a dragon trainer seems a little too OP for my taste.

Vogel Rok has me stumped on character ideas so far, maybe I'll come up with something at some point but it's not likely.

The flying Dutchman is one I'd love to include but I am still lacking character ideas.. Ghost pirate would be much to obvious but maybe I'll go for water or weather powers (inspired by the 2nd and 3rd dark ride scenes of the coaster)

Bonus: after how important Hex became as a handler and administrator of the secret weapons and how much I loved Villa Volta, I might try to include them in a similar capacity, I just might not take much from the rides story (it's really not for me)

Anyway, ramble is over. I'm open for questions and inspirations, be it for Alton, Efteling or my overarching themepark inspired super hero universe

[jarhara]

On one hand, I am trying to distance my secret weapon OCs from Alton Towers itself (going from "humanized coasters" to "inspired by rollercoasters") but on the other hand, I really want to do a bit more work on my extended "coaster verse" like more background on the SWs, their missions, their foundation, the sorry of the failed team created by Super Whirl... And maybe also add a certain other park... Because I've recently been to Efteling and WOW

[jarhara]

I've been working a little more on that style I used for my Sky Scream.

This time: Narthryn/Nemesis

A little addition to my coaster Universe...

While Corkscrew laid the ground work to bring the Secret Weapons Program to life in England, her twin-sister Super Whirl was busy getting her own little team together. One of these teammates was the winged Vampire Sky Scream.

As powerful of an ally she was, her egotistic nature and thirst for blood did not play well with the rest of the team which is why it fell apart
