Kissing them all!!!!!!
You get a kissy! And YOU get a kissy!
Nice to see my Madness OCs still are getting appreciated!
Ever feel like you belong in another time?
I haven't designed too many original villains but the Extractor is still my favorite

Being set in the 1980s, Girl Out of Time is a prime opportunity for me to pay respects to the media of the decade. Dani's antagonist, the Extractor, is an homage to Terminator. I'm very fond of this AU because it fits so well within the boundaries of canon that I don't have to leap through many hoops to make things work. It cleanly replaces D-Stabilized as a sequel to Kindred Spirits, and I consider it a thematic successor to The Ultimate Enemy. Where Danny travels to the future for a second chance, Dani travels to the past.

All of my major Danny Phantom AUs have a central driving theme. Girl Out of Time's is fate.
I've always found Danny Phantom's contradictory takes on the concept of fate (especially when using time travel as the means of exploration) to be pretty interesting, due to how clearly it illuminates the very black and white, one sided handling of the show's two titular halfas. Within the confines of a single season you have The Ultimate Enemy, a story entirely about second chances and undoing mistakes and changing terrible fates to create a better future. Following it, you have Masters of All Time, which took a similar premise but firmly said "fate cannot be changed or altered and if you try to, you'll only make your circumstances worse." The idea that one character can be allowed to rewrite his future but the other is doomed no matter what is intriguing in how blatantly unfair it is.
Neither Danielle nor Vlad were ever afforded the grace shown to Danny in The Ultimate Enemy. So in Girl Out of Time, I've plucked them out of their canon shackles (Vlad, who must always be inherently evil no matter the timeline, and Danielle, who exists only to be an irrelevant, imperiled victim for Danny to save) and placed them on the same journey with the same question. Can these two forsaken kindred spirits change their fates?
the tl;dr of my latest Girl Out of Time comic if you missed it ;)
The Extractor (from my Girl Out of Time comic) is meant to be an homage to Terminator, although she has more in common with Robert Patrick's T1000 than Arnold's T800 (except for her odd biker-esque unitard and glasses). Visually, I think her design landed somewhere between a Danny Phantom character and a Jem and the Holograms character, which makes her an ideal antagonist for Dani. I've considered giving her a secondary, more ghostly form ala Spectra, but I'm not sure it will be needed.
I don't do as much character design as I used to pre-DP but as my AUs get more elaborate you can expect to see more original villains crafted for specific narratives, especially ones pitted against Danielle or the college trio.
