Thank you so much for waiting for Burning Bridges! It took a little time and effort but we can finally resume monthly updates again.

The next update will be on 25/02/2017. 

In the meantime, have a nice preview of a character whose cameo you may or may not recognise. :VVVV

I've been lucky enough to have the time to do a 'Nuzlocke Extra'. This time it's about Falkner and about how Pokemon and humans interact in the BB universe. 



The comic has room for about 3 cameos. Rules below:
  • Ask in the comments or send me a note.
  • Please please give me a reference sheet/reference image ;w; 
  • Both Pokemon characters or human ones (ie. trainers) are fine
Would anyone be interested? O:

--

EDIT: HOLY CRAP. Way more than 3 people replied to this.

Thanks so much for your support! I'm a little overwhelmed. I'm not going to select any more than the first 3 references I've been given, and if I have more room, cameos will be given on a 'I recognise you from the comments section of my comic pages' basis. 

Please do keep a lookout for more cameo calls. owo

Burning Bridges Nuzlocke Page 11 by wanlingnic

Rules:
1.) Post the rules.
2.) Post 8 facts about your character.
3.) Tag 8 other characters.
4) Post Their names along with their creators.

Now that Burning Bridges has updated, I've thought to celebrate again with another '8 Facts'.
Donahue and Rapunzel have been tagged by :iconkatarinu: and :iconleondoodlez: respectively! OwO


===8 FACTS ABOUT DONAHUE===
Ah, Damnit. by wanlingnic BB Gijinkas: Donahue by wanlingnic Psst, it's coming back by wanlingnic
1. Donahue's a half-breed. His father is a Feraligatr.
  • He never knew his parents. 
2. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of popular Irish folk music and the year and context they were written. 
  • This sadly means he has NO IDEA what modern music is like. 
  • He just doesn't care.
3. He was trained from a young age to sing for money in the Dublin tourist area; later, he joined an illegal underground boxing ring before going straight. 
  • He can fight. But being a battling pokemon in Burning Bridges means memorizing and using only specific non-fatal 'Moves'. And he never learned them.
  • He also doesn't hit women on principle. He'll later find out this is a stupid principle.
4. His sister, Dierdre, was a major part of his childhood and isn't with him any longer. 



5. Donahue's not his real name. 

6. He's diagnosed as dyslexic. 
  • During his time as a policeman, his paperwork was very sloppy and he has trouble focusing on things he has to read
  • It means he also can't read maps. He HAS to ask for directions. 
7. In pokemon standards, Donahue's apparently handsome. Many pokemon let him get away with things because he looks attactive. :B


8. Donahue is almost incapable of lying. He is utterly genuine, says what he feels, and cares deeply about other people.
  • He makes an exception for tourists. He will lie through his teeth to steal money from tourists. 
  • Because tourists suck. 
===

===8 FACTS ABOUT RAPUNZEL COLLINS===

Rapunzel Ref Sheet by wanlingnic BB Gijinkas: Rapunzel by wanlingnic
1. Rapunzel is a nickname. 
  • Donahue mentions in his phone call to Falkner her real name is Rachel Collins
2. The book she carries is the Red Fairy Book by Andrew Lang. 
  • It really exists! Inside it are the stories for Rapunzel, the 12 Dancing Princesses, Koshei the Deathless, and Seigfried. All of them will be referenced in Burning Bridges. 
3. Punzie is a Pavee (Irish Traveler). 
  • Her family live in a caravan and travel from campsite to campsite every few years. 
  • She speaks several languages because of this (including some Scots Gaelic)
  • She loves books but because of her lifestyle can't access a library. She reads voraciously whenever she can. 
4. Punzie's father isn't around.
  • She was raised by her mother who read fairytales to her.
5. She's a skilled battler, and participates in 'practice matches' with the other traveling kids. 
  • in her gijinka form, she can bare-knuckle box. 


6. She's a romantic, and loves disney-style princesses because of her fairytales


7. Punzie's much more powerful than the average pidgey.
  • You've already seen how she can call out a shockwave that can shatter glass
  • She can also lift extremely heavy loads. 


8. Compared to Moira and Donny, she has a very noticeable working class accent, which is written down in her speech bubbles.

It feels odd to be on dA again after so long, and writing a journal to you all as nothing has happened. ;w; How time flies. Hello again to you all! 

Burning Bridges returns THIS WEEK with a new page, and then with a new page once a month. :dance:

To celebrate, I'm so happy to be tagged by :iconjustmiri: 

Rules:
1.) Post the rules.
2.) Post 8 facts about your character.
3.) Tag 8 other characters.
4.) Post their names along with their creators avatars.


=8 FACTS ABOUT MOIRA DEL ROSSO=
Psst, it's coming back by wanlingnic  Moira Reference Sheet by wanlingnic Team Firered by wanlingnic
1. Moira is TERRIFIED of heights. 
  • This comes to bite her in the ass later on in the run. 
  • There are literal bridges in burning bridges, and some like Carrick-a-Rede are very VERY high up.

2. Moira can't drive
  • It's why she has to do her pokemon league pilgrimage on foot... instead of driving like a proper adult trainer (Gary has a cool red convertible). 
  • Donahue has a valid driver's license but no money for a car.


3. Moira is named after Moira and Offred from the Handmaid's Tale, the text which I did my junior college literature thesis on. 
  • Del Rosso is an Italian surname, it means Of-Red. 
  • Like book!Offred, she's quiet and dignified. And, once you get to know her, you'll realise how opinionated and stubborn she can be.
  • Her middle name is a secret, but I can tell you it's Aodhamair
4. Moira is a non-practicing Catholic. She wears a crucifix around her neck at all times (and you can see it when she takes her sweater off). 



5. Moira's hobbies are all on this page:
Burning Bridges Nuzlocke Page 7 by wanlingnic 
  • She's an expert Sharpshooter, a Mathematics genius, and obviously, a great Violinist
  • When it comes to doing something, Moira never does it halfway; she's an expert at all her hobbies out of sheer determination and endless practice. 
  • Pay attention to her skills. They're important. :p

6. Whenever Moira switches to Italian ("Che cazzo!"), she's swearing
  • She's been doing it out of habit since she was little, when she wanted to say something rude without getting caught. 
7. Moira's fire powers aren't particularly special. No one would be surprised if she used them in public. 

8. The Mr Mime in Moira's mum's house has been a family friend for years. He moved in to take care of Moira's mother as her mental health deteriorated. 
Carl O'Phobia by wanlingnic
  • His name is Carl. 
  • He taught Moira to play the violin. 

That was really fun! I hope these facts were useful to get you excited for the next update!!

I tag... I'm picking these at random fuck it. Honestly this is hard:

:icontarrot: - Konrad, Toli, and one furry OC. :B
:icontamalileon: - Wren
:iconcharpiearts: - Char
:iconwolfenelemental: - any of your Veronica/Limeys?
:iconyindragon: - we havent spoken in a while, I'd love to say hi again? Pick any OC?
:iconlizzieindigo: - What's Kair like in the steampunk Inheritance reboot?
:iconyuriathames: - Yule
:iconhammertheshark: - Nick
:iconmirshroom: - why not Noah?
