Is Skurd still gonna be a thing in the rewrite? If he is how will you change them? And if not are you going replace him with anything?
Skurd is a hard one, since I don't wanna exclude him given he was a major part of a Ben 10 plot, but at the same time he's a hard one to work with. I mostly didn't like him due to his personality, and his gimmick with the watch just wasn't that exciting to me. But if I am to keep him, so far my plans are having him be a creation of the contemelia, his kind being used by the contemelia to collect DNA from different universes for researching, preserving, and general collecting, before they either destroyed a universe, or created one. Somewhat similar to the omnitrix's purpose of creation.
Though he wouldn't be able to do the mix and match ability he could from the show, instead maybe granting Ben some new alien DNA he's had stored. The main drive for Skurd would be playing a role in the time war and the contemelia history, since I've mentioned before I'm having it that no one ever sees a contemelia in the show, playing into a mystery behind what happened to them, and no one knowing the full story.
Skurd would explain what he knows, in that one day the contemelia went searching for something, Skurd and few others of his kind left behind to wait, and they just never came back. After sometime, Skurd decided to start travelling the universe to find his old masters, searching old ships and ruins left behind by them. Which is how Ben and the gang would find him, due to Eon/Maltruant/the time squad checking out contemelia places during the time war arc, and Skurd would be their glimpse into understanding what appears to be a dead race. He would also be seen as another perspective towards the contemelia, as many others, including the celestialsapiens, are scared of them and view them in a negative light, while Skurd views them in a positive light.
Huh 2 months without uploading anything, this must be a personal record ( ̄ヘ ̄) lol
I was finishing some uni stuff so i didnt actually do much this past 2 month but hey at least i have more stuff to upload to my five followers (ノωヽ)
So i belive i did this one cause i saw that originaly ben 10 aliens were suppose to resembel more superheroes more than aliens, so that (and my kamen rider brain root) make me come up with this
The belt probally would work like a fusion bettwen kamen rider drive with the wrist watch being the place where you would put some sorth of disk (like in the toys) to make the transformation and kamen rider wizard with it decting the wrist alien when pass over it
As for the trasformations i imagine they would work more like zi-o transformations as in more like armors on top of the suit, maybe it would even have a double transformation gimik (like gears) when you combine it with skurd of omniverse
There is a lot you can probally do with the concept but the armor took me already too much to come up with so i dout i will do anything with that ┐(︶▽︶)┌
I’m currently working on making a Zim Number 2 plushie but I’m waiting for his eye highlights to dry. So I made a Skurd plushie out of scraps while I waited.
My own take on the Ben 10 universe, which is honestly barely fleshed out.
Ben’s Aliens
Swampfire- Bigger and bulkier, has less defined three fingered hands, and doesn’t have a mouth at all.
Ripjaws- Has a breathing tube thing over his gills so he’s actually useful on land.
Diamondhead
Brainstorm- About the same size as Ben’s human form, claws are actual crab claws instead of thin crescent shapes, has a weird speech pattern (speaks in short, clipped sentences, uses a lot of technical terms, says “this one” instead of “I” or “me”)
Ball Weevil
Wildmutt- Has stripes now
Ghostfreak- Skin is more saggy and separate looking with the tentacles occasionally poking out from underneath to show that it’s an outer layer hiding something
4-2-Go- A small mechanical alien called a Ferrograde. I’ve posted about them before.
Gravelanche- A massive seven-limbed creature that looks like its made of boulders. has a bit of a centaur body plan with the seventh limb as a prehensile tail with a grasping appendage on the end
Doll Face- Basically a creepy talking Mawile.
Ben- the kid with the watch. Constantly looks like he hasn’t slept in a week, but that apparently predates all the alien stuff. Wears a dull green hoodie with a big white X on the front, jeans, and sneakers. Kind of has Omniverse Ben’s hairstyle. The Omnitrix has its original design, but in the dark you can see thin green veins stretching out from it up Ben’s arm and across his hand.
Haven’t figured out concrete designs for Max and Gwen, but their personalities are close to the reboot versions while their abilities(and Max’s backstory) are more like the classic version.
Dr. Animo gets a more prominent role as Ben’s main human villain, though his personality’s largely unchanged.
Kevin’s got yet another change to his powers, this time ending up with Skurd(who in this was Animo’s attempt at making a living Omnitrix replica and is more like a really smart pet than a really annoying person. crucially, he can’t talk.), which allows him to partially transform himself into Ben’s aliens. He shows up after Ben unlocks his 11th alien so he can still call himself Kevin 11.
Dr. Psychobos and Malware show up early, with Psychobos having the same speech pattern as Brainstorm and being a bit more imposing, while Malware has a very different backstory and is actually, legitimately Psychobos’s partner in crime.
In this universe, the Omnitrix actually crashed years ago and when Ben found it on the first day of summer the pod was overgrown and half-buried. Meanwhile Vilgax’s ship went down in Antarctica and he went into emergency cryosleep. His drones activated automatically when the Omnitrix became active, but Vilgax himself was still stuck in stasis until Mojo Jojo of all people found him.
...Oh, yeah, this is also a huge crossover between a bunch of Cartoon Network properties(basically as many of them as I can while still making the world make sense), even if it’s going to stay primarily centered on Ben 10.
