Adding Some Evil to an Old Story! | Concept Corner: HEARTLESS #2

Back at it with a brand new installment of Concept Corner! This week I’m exploring more character design ideas by dipping back into my “Heartless” story and adding some fresh - (and decidedly more villainous) - faces to the cast!
This video took absolutely ages to make, but it was a ton of fun - I hope y’all enjoy it! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
And if you have a fave character or concept out of this band of bad guys, please go ahead and lemme know down in the comments!

[@ABDIllustrates]

Howdy y’all, thanks for stopping by! \(^^)/ And thanks so SO much for all the feedback and enthusiasm that y’all have been giving Concept Corner (and Heartless) so far! This installment took a while to make because I tried to go all out on it, so hopefully it was worth the wait, haha It’s been amazing to see all the theories and questions, and even fanart(!) that came about after the first one of these - I hope that these villains spark y'all's imaginations just as much! (^^)/ (And as ever, please do let me know your faves - and any suggestions for future Concept Corner Content - here in the comments! This format is super fun, so I’d really love to make more of these in future!) 💖 💖

I’m just here to tell you: you’ve made it so hard to have a favorite villain.. I LOVE ALL OF THEM

[@mariamontage8734]

I'm absolutely obsessed with your ideas with this,since as a fellow creator I live for fresh ideas with amazing imagination and creativity behind it

[@enatronus5200]

I. Am. In. Love. With your stories. I could sit and listen to all you different ideas for hours. If you did a livestream purely for Heartless, to kinda gather ideas for the series or something, I would drop everything and watch. You have made a concept that I *ADORE* and would *LOVE* to see as a comic or animation

[@brickfroggue6521]

I can’t exactly say this isn’t my rational thinking, but I would love to see one of the villains usurp creed, maybe doc or lance, and creed is forced to fall in with the heroes in some way, maybe at first he wants to manipulate one of them into turning the others in, most likely scarf kid (im so sorry I can’t remember names ;d) but maybe he (the scarf kid, but creed could make an interesting one too) could have a one-sided crush for him, and the others could either help creed turn good, or try to anyway. And ice scarf dude with the held of his buddies, get out of that toxic. Idk man it’s late, bad idea but maybe good fanfic 🤷

Heya! I love this video but, I have a feeling, whether it be just me being a simp or just a hunch, I have a feeling that Dock should be voiced by CorpseHusband. Its probably just me being a simp. But, me being me, I literally simp for all of your characters so far. THEIR SO PRETTY

Had to switch to desktop just so I could type this all out. I can just imagine a scene where Creed and Heartless are alone/Heartless was captured by the Jury, and Heartless is trying super hard to get away only to get hit by the nullify ability and immediately crashes into a wall. Creed (thinking Heartless just dazed himself) walks up to him while monologuing, only to be put off when Heartless doesn't respond. He sort of nudge-kicks Heartless over on his back and is startled to see how Heartless looks so... dead. Creed has probably seen how durable Heartless is at this point (normal shonen durability, in-universe because he is technically undead and therefore simple things like deadly impacts are decidedly less as long as he has enough surrounding magic to draw from). Maybe it's just enough for Creed to drop the nullify for a moment, only for Heartless to start absolutely speed-draining the area around him ATLA Hama style. Creed reapplies it, which essentially stops Heartless' intake (he was running on fumes beforehand) enough to regain a woozy consciousness, but can hardly move and has to be kept from drifting off several times by Creed as the witchhunter interrogates him. And this is the first time we really get to see both the extent to Heartless' draining as well as Creed's moral compass. Leaning more on how sickly Creed is, perhaps he makes the internal connection that Heartless' magic is more of a mobility aid than simple flaunting of magic. Maybe he struggles justifying taking away Heartless' magic permanently, since unlike other magic-users, it's not simply making them (heavy quotations) "normal" like it would with any other wizard, it's sentencing him to death. And so when Heartless is eventually released from the nullification (whether because his friends bust in to save him or Creed lets him go) now that Heartless is both conscious and significantly distressed by the situation (his absolute need to get away) when he is released he goes more feral/traditional zombielike, in his effort to survive because even not being able to utilize his magic in a traditional sense, he is running a net negative so even just talking to Creed gets harder and harder. --- I also like to think the first time we are introduced to Lorelei is through Alchemy, who is really good at finding all the underground magic meetups. New town, Alchemy finds the local magic scene and meets sugar sweet Lorelei, who through hypnosis and suggestion makes everyone think she is a wizard too. Alchemy drags the rest of the party there to hang out maybe gather information about whatever job they are on, only for Doppel's mirror to be the only one to see that something is *wrong* about Lorelei. Her suggestions just don't stick to him the way they do to everyone else, but his worries are pushed aside by Doppel when he brings it up to him privately. While this is influenced by Lorelei, it's also heavily a part of the two's dynamic, and so Glass (which is just what I'm going to call Doppel's reflection, since although ABD didn't say that was his name outright afaik, it's easier than continuing to call him Doppel's mirror rather than his own name, as it also feels... rather dehumanizing in a way?) just drops it. Only to be revealed as completely right when Lorelei brings in the Jury to arrest the entire underground group, where she has been acting as the inside man to get everyone's details and also to let a handful of the weaker magic users go free after hypnotizing them to tell the story that one of the other members of the group ratted them all out in order to keep herself out of suspicion so that she can keep doing this to every town she goes to. Of course, the party are set to be arrested, only to be saved by Glass. This also puts him into Lorelei's crosshairs, who much later down the line after a whole arc of Doppel and Glass learning to work together and respect each other, shatters Glass who is then reabsorbed into Doppel (they never tried that because of the fear that it would just kill Glass and leave Doppel permanently at half power). After the fight, Doppel willingly splits himself again (which is why character arc is needed, since this was originally his main goal/wish) which brings back Glass. -- I really like the idea of instead or along side of Bandy&Lance teamup is Diana and Lance. Where, when they are working at peak efficiency, Lance is sent in to drive all the witches out into Diana's traps. (This doesn't work often because Lance's desire to fight rather than capture). ABD said he is the attack dog, I imagined more of a hunting dog dynamic. -- I also like the idea of Lance fighting Alchemy. As Lance pulls out his weapons, Alchemy just keeps warping them into ineffective forms. This continues to rile up Lance because all his precious weapons are being destroyed! -- Something really fucked up I thought of also: What if Dock's the reason River has to use prosthetics? Either as backstory or during the story itself, he uses his ability to essentially shatter his own legs and then reflect it onto her body. Another option to this is if he isn't the cause, but doesn't realize her legs are prosthetics. He tries to disable her, only to disable himself. He's usually fine with the few short moments of pain before the transfer, but he is not ready for the fact that it doesn't work.

I like the idea that the reason they hate magic is that the curses made them miserable. For example Lorelei used to hate the spotlight but her curse makes her actively seek it out as a side effect or something. The shy and quiet Lorelei becomes attention seeking and outspoken. Smug and cocky. Maybe Lance used to be generous but after the curse he had to steal, had to act on the impulse or it would become uncontrollable. The once generous and gentle Lance becomes a greedy monster. The curses corrupt the person and make life unbearable for them, pushing them out of their comfort zones and harming their minds. Doc possibly was already in a dark place, maybe hurting himself and then when the curse came along he decided to make everyone suffer the same as him. IDK something to think about.

Lorelei: *(Heatstroke) By the coast,* a disorienting opera piece with some distant tropical elements, sometimes echoey or muffled. Doc: *Incisus,* instrumental opera rock piece, it's sometimes acompanied by a gospel-like vocal piece, but this is actually gibberish, yet consistent on it's nonsensical structure. Bandy: *Deartest mearest,* a circus like piece that shifts between a cheery pan flute tune and a paniqued synthetizer, maybe some hospital ambiance to make it creepier. Diana: *Struck'n'by* Western valley music, with the twist that as the song goes on it becomes more melancholic and distant, until it sounds like you're hearing it from another room. Lance: *Toyhouse*, Typical heroic medieval-inspired rock piece, but the guitar misses a few notes and has to catch up, it sounds incomplete.

If Creed's ability gets rid of/nullifies magic. What would it do to Doppel's clone? Would it temporarily get rid of him or just make it so that way he's a lifeless body?

[@killedbyasmallperson]

or would it not even affect him at all since he's a part of Doppel but split..

[@DaeyVision]

@@killedbyasmallperson True, that was mainly just my thought process because Doppel's clone was "born" from magic so I'm just wondering what would happen to him.

[@DollFaceThornback]

Idea! Creed nullifies Dopple's double and Dopple is super happy at first then slowly realizes "oh fuck I miss my other half what the shit I wasn't prepared for this" and everyone helps him figure out how to make him again without losing any of the og doubles memories!

[@jhulpthefox]

Maybe he just turns lifeless, and shimmery. Like, he has a glass look to him

[@lixyororke]

maybe it nullifies their connection? like, doppel's power basically gets cut in half cause the two become entirely seperate people?

[@quickskits2428]

I’ve been thinking; maybe, since it’s mentioned in the third concept corner that many of the people in Eira’s backstory are named after knights of the round table, him and Lance might have known each other, whether that be as street punks or in the royal guard. Furthermore, I feel like Lance threatening Arthyr would fit them being foils in several ways, as well as provide a good excuse for Eira to join the gang

You mean like Creed doesn't care much about Lorelei that she loves him since he doesn't love her and doesn't show his affections to her, he probably is annoyed that she keeps trying to show him how much she loves him but he looked away in annoyance.

[@HART-sk3bz]

An idea for Lorelei: There are scientific expiriments showing that if you tap a material and record the sound, if you replay it at a high enough volume, it can literally shatter the material the sound was recorded from. Maybe Lorelei can use this as an attack?

[@popstel2286]

Yes.

[@Cheetahgirl_Studios]

Ooh! Hey! Wait a minute! That would make her Dopple and Glass’ counter then. Their ability lets them make copies of things. Lorelei can mimic the frequency of materials. And since each power/curse has its own name, her Curse could be called Mockingbird. She can mimic things using her voice, as well as having the ability to increase the volume to shattering levels.

I feel like Lance and Bandy would be that classic duo where one of them is the more serious one with anger issues and the other one being the goofy, stupid one. I feel like they would be this duo who argue a lot and get on each other's nerves, but since they're really good friends, they still care about each other. So if one is hurt, the other goes berserk and tries to avenge them because they hurt their friend.
