I helped a lot with the game mechanics, and generally know more Italian and more of Italy than Jim does, so I did a lot, but the initial idea of the sotten strongwoman, the drunken defender, Belladonna came from Jim.

It has been just long enough now that I don't remember the exact thought process. I remember that it had to do with a character growing more powerful due to outside influences, similar to how, the angrier Hulk gets, the stronger he gets, but I wanted it do be something that the character could control. I also thought that it would make a great building challenge that I could issue to Ken. I vaguely remember that alcohol was chosen as a fuel for comedy situations, with her not having an immunity to alcohol, and therefore getting fully blitzed when uber-strong.

I also remember loving the little touches Ken put into the costume, like the half-done boot and mis-buttoned top showing how the character is three sheets to the wind.

Yeah, this character is funny. A male would be a bit standard for comedy, so full marks for making her a woman .

She's red wine drunk! That's the worst kind of drunk!

Yeah, pretty much Harvey Weinstien's worst nightmare.

[Yes, I went there.]

You hit the nail on the head, dude. For years one of my best buds and I would go to Maifest and Octoberfest in Hermann, MO, which is one of the biggest wine producing areas in that state. We ran into hundreds of wine drunks in our times there and they were brutal. Half the time we'd cut the winery hang outs short and go to the townie bar to deal with the beer drunks, which were more our speed.

Turtle is interesting. Much better look than you'd think given his name and "turtle samurai". The stuff about college in Japan is complicated - your college determines your job, but where you go is determined by your entrance exams. And the whole place is all about social hierarchy.

I must see more of Spitfire's costume.
