Character Creation Challenge 2023 31: Nega Slayer

Character Creation Challenge 2023

31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters

31: Nega Slayer

And to conclude...

Attempts to create an evil magic or superscience clone of a hero probably go back further than Bizarro in Superman but go with me here. An attempt to create an evil fake Buffy was the first ongoing arc in the Dark Horse Buffy comics, years before the superscience Buffybot in the show itself. See also Vampire Willow, and Xander getting split into his capable and bumbling sides.

Obviously this is normally short-term. The longest I’ve seen a split character hang around was Crichton in Farscape, where each of him went on a different ship when the crew parted for most of a season.

The character title comes from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, where Nega Scott is a threat in the comics but a throwaway joke in the film where they get on fine.

How would you deal with someone butting in on your entire existence? It could be a magical metaphorical exaggeration of how other people see you. Like having your social media copied. But with more stabbing.

Nega Ashley
Type: Hero

Nega Olivia Holt

Description: that hair colour works for her
Example quote: “Babe, I’m your evil twin, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get on, right?”

Created from a lock of Ashley’s hair, earth from her grandmother’s grave and a stolen stake, to assume Ashley’s identity and ruin her life, Nega Ashley is mostly human and annoyingly confident. After the gang defeated her creator they were expecting her to dissolve or evaporate or something. But she’s still here. She reckons she’ll exist for a lunar month at least. Or possibly seven years. Or until Ashley dies. In the meantime she needs someplace to crash, and can she borrow this bag?
