Alcatraz Memorial

Who are the boys?

Cal and Al are one and a half characters from the actual play series Anime Campaign (a shrine for which I have constructed here,) specifically from episode 3 Hot!Crispy!Dazzling! The Prison break episode. The basic jist of their character goes something like this:

Epithet's inscribed characters tend to go one of two ways, either they embrace their powers or are the complete opposite it. Slim pushes that opposition so far his epithet (Heroic) splits off from him entirely.

A serial killer/hitman who only targets inscribed following the death of his little sister in the crossfire of two superpowered idiots, Slim is followed by Alcatraz, a ghostly knight and manifestation of his epithet that's trying and failing to get him to reform his ways.

Blinkies!

Why they've caught my obsession

AC is predominantly a comedy series and the way these gobbers are played reflects that, Slims just way too awful to ever really take seriously as a threat and Al is Al, but just underneath is the unsettling implications of a vengeful monster forever haunted by the weeping ghost of all he should have been.

Its something about that dynamic of deadly devotion that enraptured me. To be so devastated by the loss of a loved one that you dedicated your whole existence to killing in her name, absorbed by this task so completely it becomes the only reason for your continued existence with no real life or personality outside of what you do for them. Or to be loyal to someone so completely as to give up your divinity for them, to literally come down from on high and dirty your hands with blood in order to ensure their safety and well-being even if they never care for yours.

Fucks me up.

And all of this ontop of the extra layer of fuckery which is them technically on some level being the same person and sharing the same memories. You know I love that Jekyll and Hyde shit, if it's the combination of experiences that make you who you are then are you really even the same person if split apart? Or are you two completely separate beings unrelated to who you used to be?

Maybe it's all a bit over dramatic for some silly little failboys who showed up in one episode of an actual play, but fandom exists best when the source material has that little bit of wiggle room for the fans to write their own interpretations into. Or maybe it's just that I like vintage outfits and I'll develop an obsession with any character who gives me the opportunity to draw them, who knows.

Either way the brainrot has progressed far enough for me to have written all this shit about them, so enjoy.

Okay so I've spent a lot of time watching Anime Campaign recently and I have a question about Slim (my FAVORITE character by far) I don't know if you mentioned it and I didn't hear, but why does Slim hate people with epithets?

I never said it in campaign but the reason why he hates epithet users is because his little sister was killed in a careless scuffle between two epithet users. When that happened it dawned on him clear as day the epithet users were too powerful to controlled within any means of the law so he figured the world would be a nicer place and a safer place without them.

anonymous asked:

since Slim is officially fucking deadTM i need to ask... if nothing bad had ever happened to Beverly and he stayed an okay person, how would the whole heroic epithet work? what kind of abilities would he have had?

I figure Slim basically worked the way that Al does. He probably had the ability to manifest a suit of armor to be a proper "knight in shining armor" to whomever he was protecting. His skillset would probably revolve around self sacrifice, throwing himself into attacks, protecting others with reckless abandon. That sort of thing.

Okay. So what happened to Slim's ear? (Also

That's just something Jello tagged onto his design.

He probably lost it while fighting someone whose epithet was "Wolves"

Hey lamp, question in regards to every ones favorite bat wielding garbage hose and his ghostly tin can. How connected are they? Does Al have memories prior to what I assume to be a violent expulsion from Slim's self, Does Al feel what Slim does or at least have a general sense of whats going on in his head at any given point in time or is he essentially a completely separate being on a 25ft leash?

"favorite bat wielding garbage hose and his ghostly tin can"

Good description.

I image the situation goes something like this Al almost certainly has retained Slim's memories from before his being was split in that patented Slim way, regardless of if Slim remembers or not. The two likely have some kind of empathetic link with one another, but I think it'd be more because they are both super obvious to read and have spent a fair amount of time bound to one another. That being said Al has no real way into Slim's mind, if he did I'm sure he'd be a lot more active in preventing the serious amount of murder that Slim commits.

Sorry if this is a bother, but do you have any idea how old Slim was when Beverly died?

Hm...

I'd say he was on the cusp of adulthood. Probably about 17 or so.

ballastmcgee asked:

Wait, while reading that Fanfic of Slim and Al I had this thought. Is Alcatraz based off Alphonse Eric? The similarities 1. Ghost(ish) 2. Suit of armor body 3. Try to keep their older, more hot-headed counterpart from hurting people. (Alphonse only has to prevent murder when "small" is said tho)

The similarities are entirely coincidental. Al is a ghost knight because I like knights and wanted one of my character to have a stand.

anonymous asked:

hey i was wondering something about California slim, was AL always following him or was his creation a more recent thing

Al wasn't always following Slim but his existence isn't exactly recent either.

Al manifested around the same time when Slim went off the deep end and decided to disregard his epithet in favor of murder.

davrial asked:

If by some SEQUENCE of miracles, Slim became good again (because clearly multiple miracles would need to happen, one wouldnt do it), would Alcatraz cease to exist and be merged back into him? If so, would Slim remember any of Al's memories?

If Slim were to clean up his act then yes, him and Al would be merged again. I would imagine that this would result in Slim taking up Al's memories as well.

sarahanndipitously asked:

Hey! I was wondering if you could answer a question I had about Slim? (The likes of which may or may not be for the purposes of writing something). So what's the deal with his parents? It sounds very vague, but I was just curious, because it's a subject that was never really mentioned, and If he was 17 when Bev died, I'm kind of curious to see what his parents were doing at that time. If you've explained this before, I apologize, but I couldn't find it. Thank you, and have a good day!

It's not something I've ever mentioned, nor is it something I've really thought about until now. I feel like, for whatever reason, Slim's parents weren't really around very much. Not dead or anything, just for their own reasons the both of them were out of the house constantly. Probably working multiple jobs to keep their family afloat, something that would have made him the primary caretaker of Beverly for a large chunk of his life.

So I imagine they would have been doing much of the same around when she died.

That's all I really got for ya.

Hope it helps.

anonymous asked:

So what was the whole fiasco with Slim & Bliss Ocean? Does he like them, or ...?

Slim likes Bliss Ocean for the wrong reason. He thinks that their stance on epithet users lines up nicely with his own and that they are super cool with him murdering epithet users in their name.

They were very decidedly not cool with that.

heavysplatling-remade-blog asked:

I've been attempting to draw Slim from your anime campaign for a while now and it s just impossible. Why do you make amazing characters who I cant draw. Come on man...

If it makes you feel better, Siv (Dixon's player) designed Slim (and drew this picture). She's a better artist than me so it looks like both of us have trouble drawing him!

Felt like trying out some different colors and stuff and Slim is pretty fun to draw.

Slim could probably pass off as a cool guy who is not a serial killer if he tried.

warpedlamp Jan 12, 2017

Slim would be a pretty handsome guy if he cleaned himself up

And if he cleaned up his act

And his personality

Basically he should be less of a garbage bin

ALCATRAZ: Slim dear, you're going out on the town! At LEAST comb your hair!

SLIM: Shut UP Al, you're not my mom.

... ztrangers." It also said that back in the day if you were lost you could ask for directions! And there was only a small chance that the person you were talking to was a murderer! She looked up and saw a man in a white pinstripe suit walking down the sidewalk in her direction. Oh, here comes someone! Okay. Let's ask him! I can do this! Remember what Boss said! Be more assertive!... Oh. But this guy looks important.

She didn't tell people about most of the ghosts she saw, like how she decided not to mention the ghost she saw on the beach earlier that morning following the man in the pinstriped suit. The most annoying thing about ghosts was some of them realized...

Logically speaking this is probably Crime Mcgoo who wore white pinstripe and lived in Tiaga back in AC, but in my heart this is Slim and Al just still in Bliss Ocean uniform.

Theres like 2 offical drawings of Alcatraz, expect to see them alot. Probably a contributing factor in why he gets so little fan art too.
