Collaborative Writing Project: Red Bat



Welcome to The Masters of Animanga: A Wikia Collaborative Writing Project! Join with legendary icons of anime and manga to create three exciting, original stories based on their character designs and outlines.

The inspiration for our first tale, “Red Bat,” comes from the mind of acclaimed manga artist and author Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai)! Hiroaki Ikegami and Masao Maruyama (Ninja Scroll, Trigun) are executive producers.

We want YOU to co-write this story! And you're also welcome to post any original artwork to illustrate it. Just take a few moments to read the rules, familiarize yourself with the world and characters, then edit this page to begin creating.

THE WORLD

It’s the year 2020 in New York City. Humans and vampires coexist. But due to “hygienic concerns,” vampires have stopped sucking live human blood and started receiving vaccinations in order to consume artificially engineered blood. As such, vampires are not treated as “monsters,” but as a “new species.” In fact, their physical abilities are no different from humans.

Red Bat is a monster corporation that provides artificially engineered blood for vampires throughout the world. Their drink comes in blood type flavors (A+, B+, etc.). Only vampires can taste the difference – to humans, it’s all “water that stinks of iron.”

“Vanarchists” are an extremist radical party based in America that advocates the doctrine of human supremacy. The Black Bats Party (BBP) is a vampire vigilante corps formed to protect vampires from Vanarchists.

THE CHARACTERS


 * The Vanarchist. Male, 20 years old, A vampire who is also a graffiti artist, rapper, and skateboarder. Although he is a vampire, he bombs Vanarchist signs. He does not associate himself with any groups.

INTRODUCTION

The pool of blood spread slowly across the floor. "This isn't going to clean itself up," the CEO shouted, and flung a half-empty can across the room. His assistant rushed in, head down, to mop up the mess. But it wasn't blood at all. It was Red Bat, the artificially engineered beverage that his company produced for a very specific target market… the vampires, like him, who had come to prefer the manufactured drink over actual human blood. The CEO stood at the window of his corner office, contemplating the latest attack by the vanarchists. --Brian 17:21, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

The Vanarchist stood proudly at the defaced statue. His latest work was clearly his best yet. But it still needed something, something that would make it stand out. "Wait," thought the Vanarchist, "I have an idea." He took out red graffiti and made the statue's butt red, and with that, the work was finished. "It's the best representation of that jackass yet," said the Vanarchist with pride, "Governor Redwater is going to have a tantrum when he hears about this." --ScorpionTail (talk) 18:31, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

The Rival watched the Vanarchist as he defaced the statue. He felt inside his pocket to his mask. It was powerful. Like it was drawing him in. But he knew what would happen if he donned the mask and he hated it. So he walked up to the Vanarchist. --Mujie (talk) 20:24, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
