Band


It's good to hear that, Ebony. As for me, I love everything that has to do with him.

Curently I'm working on the second chapter of "shattered goals", which is posted on Fanfiction.net, and I have some in mind, but my English needs great improvements for themBadacid

There's a good site with Gatch F shots, althought thei're just small thumbnails (Transmute Jun gave me the link and I hope she won't mind sharing it)

Count Egobossler

Amytler;

English is my only language and I still haven't perfected it...so we will forgive each other how does that sound..I started to write Fics to improve on it.... gramma ahhhh

Well I thought I would see if an attachment from word would work. If not cut and paste!

Its part of a fic that I'm in the middle of writing but I though you might like the read and it fits here.

Count Egobossler

He stood with his hands behind his back in a stance noted to powerful military leaders in history, watching the activity in the front circular driveway bellow. His eyes taking in intently everything that was happening down there from the library window of the ancient ocean cliff side mansion he had recently acquired for Galactor. Victories is what the new leader required of him in his conquest of Earth and victories is what will make Count Egobosslers dreams become reality. World leader the Earth, all bowing before him.

Some would say that he was a mad man but he differs to that notion, what was sanity anyway? Something some physiologist came up with to justify ones actions and take away responsibility. Some would say that witnessing the brutal death of his beloved mother and his revenge that followed would be the triggers for his later actions, but he would only smile at that analysis. He had studied great leaders and the ones he admired most were considered insane to one degree or another. Stalin, Hitler, just no one appreciated their brilliance. Their only flaw was that they failed. He had studied the characters of his predecessors to Galactor. Katse, too careless with his men, in the end they had no loyalty to him, Gel Sadra a mere child really prone to emotional tantrums with no discipline, not cunning enough and failed too.

He would not.

Some shied away in fright when they saw him and others tried to hide it. But he knew what they were thinking and it served his purpose. His blue skin and light grey eyes, the whites of them making his eyes even paler would make you think he was a walking corpse. A cross between Dracula and a zombie or both in the one man. His high collared red cape and dark coloured formal clothing and long boots added to the illusion.

His radical move, as some would call it to change his appearance was his commitment to his goals to become a world leader, and his ambition had no boundaries. There were people who stood in his way, they white shadows five that became one. But he would take care of them. He had spent years learning martial arts from master Japanese Senseis, and the arts of the Samari warriors of Japan. Those that refused to teach him often met their death when he returned to challenge them. One thing he learned of the ancient Samari culture. Never leave an enemy at your back. Eliminate any potential threat from the, family left behind.

There was one enemy from the first war that he had encountered briefly, and the encounter had almost ended his life.

Red Impulse squadron.

He had decided he would kill them himself, as soon as he could hunt them down. This was personal for the Count. But they has died before he could do the job himself and even though it was Galactor that had been the cause of their death he still felt dissatisfied with the denial of running a sword through them himself. Their kin would pay the price for them and he had vowed to hunt down any survivors. Leave no enemy at your back to come later for revenge. His cold, cold grey eyes were now following a vehicle that was pulling up at the stairs and a small smirk appeared on his face just showing the white of his teeth as he watched his men drag out the semi conscious prisoner from the car and try to make her walk up the stairs. He didnt always like to kill his enemy straight away; there would be plenty of time for that soon&
He walked over and picked up his brandy glass and swirled the aged Hermitage Cabernet sauvignon red wine and closed his eyes to listen to the Opera playing loudly in the background. He would have his revenge&&..

Ebony, your fic is wonderfull. I love it. And I don't agree with the ones who say Ego is hideous. NOOO! He's so handsome......

You've portraited him very realisticaly. His training in martial arts is a cannon or just made up by you?
I don't remember him displaing such skills although he was a fencer good enough to duel with Ken.

So he's on the list of those who hate Red Impulse too, huh? Would you show their first encounter? What they've done to him?
I suppose they dropped a bomb on his castle.

Who's the prisonier. It's a she ,Jun perharps...

Write more soon, curiosity kills me.

Well no not really to canon just my interpetation of the character and what kind of background he would have had to be selected by leader Z to lead Galactor against Gatchaman.
To explore the depth of a character....you have to leave something to the imagination as to what really goes on in a persons mind....I have studied Stalin and Hitler, neither thought they were insane, so why should Egobossler....food for thought that's all...

I felt he would have been ambitious and driven to meet leaderZ needs.

You don't pick someone who doesn't have drive to lead an army... The prisoner......mmmm read and find out...Just taking a break from typing at the moment....

Waiting

Oh, Madeleine then? From what I've read in your fanfic, she seems to have dealt with Gallactor. She's the one who talks to dr. Rafael? Is she a former Devil Star? Is there a prequel, or you will explain later how they got together?

Ahh, so many questions.....

Just thought I would add that this is because I have set a restriction on file types. As the .doc extension can carry hidden macro code I have taken the precaution of not allowing them to be directly attachable to avoid virus threats to users.

However .doc's contained in a .zip file are safer because almost all virus checkers and compression programs scan their contents before extraction or execution as opposed to word processors which will just launch them. Jar

Ooh, Amy I think you're right about Madeline. What a great twist!

Ebony, I think you've done a great job getting into Ego's head. Kudos to you! It's something I've been afraid of writing myself, but you have done terrifically!

I'm really looking forward to the rest of the Secret Lives fic!

Thanks guys I was wondering id I could get the complex nature of a man like that across and how he thinks....

Its not easy to write canon when you only have snips bit and pieces of fighter to go from. When does the online gatchaman Japanese classes start LOL.

Whats the fun in being totally to canon anyway. To be totally canon is to re write an episode basically and not add anyone to it...naaaa not my style at least....

P.S A guy came into work the other day and I almost did a double take, he looked soooo much like Ken, same hair,stance. I think he may have been part Japanese. Had to try not to stare!

P.S thanks Cep I forgot about the Zip thing with word docs.

I hear you! I had a car pull up next to me a few weeks ago that looked *just* like the de-transmuted G2 from the OAVs... it was even a convertible! Of course, the top was up, so I didn't get a good look at the driver. Do you think it was Condor Joe? Wink

You can still buy the OAV DVDs... I'm not sure if they're available in your region format, though.

Also, you can download the first episode of the OAVs (including Joe's famous shower scene) for free here:

http://harmonygold.com/gatchaman/

You can also watch the trailer here:

And if you haven't seen it, the Gatchaman 94 Music Video is here:

Don't like the OVA's animation. Much too flat and emotionless. And they look all punk. Including Nambu in that pink coat.

Thank god Ego didn't appear in that series. They might have made him pink with stripes. smash2

I was thinking about what you said about him not being that good.fencing is a skill that is not easy to master,

He would have been Killed by Gatchaman too easy if he could not fight at all.

He would have had to learn from some where, and have good enough skill to survive several duels against him.
That's my thinking anyway, I like to add things like that to build up a character.It's not Jun...
Fencing
