Since only Icey ever acknowledged Kara as a family member, I'd say she's only his cousin, not Semi's.
Not sure on Raging Bull but I love your ideas for him also being ancient and all the Bull symbolism in religions.

Hmmm... well... I've always been fond of the name, "Phineas".
A little background behind Ex's "crush" on My Whee Fem:
Half of the characters included in this project I never even heard of until I started doing the research for that LMB Monitor Board symbol project. When I came across "My", I was stopped in my tracks with what a cool - yet relatively unexplored - concept she was. Even in a technologically advanced 31st century setting, there was still a place for this little Asian assassin girl who just uses knives and swords. I totally got this image in my head of "Deadly Little Miho" from Frank Millers' "Sin City" - "She'll cut you quick... she'll kill you quiet... you won't feel a thing."
For a while now, I've been mulling over writing an LMB story called, "The Long Klordny" that would have a very "film noir" feel to it. There are so many cool characters that could fit in: Matlock- the detective; Quislet Esq. - the lawyer; a couple old Primary Color Gang characters like Red Rage - the washed up boxer and Blue Cheese Lad - in my mind, small time criminal "Fast Eddie Stilton"; certainly Exnihil - the corrupt executive; and definitely My Whee Fem - the exotic femme fatale.
So, anyway, smitten with this fictional girl, I added Ex's feelings toward her as canon during a LMB Halloween story that Emily Sivana and I wrote together last year called The Dead Man's Tale.
OK... enough of all that, on to the update.
This time out, the Lash/Cru section:
So...
- Lash is currently married to the wealthy publishing heir, Josh Seigel, with whom he recently became the adoptive sugar-daddy to LMB member, Karie. Through an as yet unrevealed set of circumstances, Lash is also the father of
Click Here For A SpoilerShining Son.
- Previously, Lash has had short term relationships with Matt Damon, Raging Bull (who also dated Mattropolis, a hero who occasionally trades places with the Universe 3 heroine, Mantis), a "hard light hologram" of Raging Bull called G. Stallion (who later died during the LMB Zero Hour), and Large Handsome - the late inheritor of the Handsome crime cartel - also known as the criminal, Middlefinger II.
- For a time, an alternate universe version of Lash, known as Micheal Lorenzo Lash - or the Reverse Lash - troubled the LMB.
- Lash's close friend, Sketch Lad, was the creator of the being known as Globe Girl, a heroine that he based off of now deceased LMB member, Silicon Sandra. Sketchy is also cousins with twin sisters, Absolute and Sure Lee, the later of which - as mentioned in the previous section - dated Cobie.
- The House of Jectra - ruled by King Hrold and Queen Suzyn - brought forth the LMB twins, Prince Mykel AKA Crusader (who is married to the sorcerer Maxx) and Princess Crujectra AKA Spellbinder (who has, in the past, dated Raging Bull's brother STU and LMB member Ultra Matt AKA The Boy with Ultra Powers, but is currently "soul bound" to Cobalt Kid).
**************************
- Spellbinder's relationship to STU, and their subsequent offspring, is part of a story called "The Children of the LMB". I won't go into the full details of the story - which can be found in Cobalt Kid's Written History of the LMB but, suffice to say, their children, Blu and Lu - along with those of Beagle Boy and Homecoming Queen (Amber, the daughter of the Universe 4 Cobalt Kid and Thora), Beaglegirl, Black Beagle, and Orbeagle (collectively called the "Beagz of Prey") - no longer exist.
- I wasn't going to include these five children but, after reading Cobie's synopsis, I was pretty moved and felt I should. "The Children of the LMB" is a viscious - but poignant - bit of LMB history. I don't think it actually occurred as a proper story - rather played out in small bits - but the collective result is, in my opinion, pretty darned powerful. I've indicated that these children have been erased from the timeline by coloring their respective blocks black.
**************************
Other stuff -
- I've already discussed the Leap Year Lass - Spiffany connection but, after reflection, decided to move it to this block of the tree to be in closer proximity to Lash. (Ideally, I'd try to make a triad of Lash, LYL, and EDE... but EDE is too closely tied to the Lard Lad block to make that possible).
- The Middlefinger Legacy: so... "Middlefinger," had been a criminal moniker that had been inherited by the murder of the previous holder... up until Middlefinger VIII (formerly Princess No-Protection) who merely assumed the title, not following protocol. Resultantly, there are currently 6 different active Middlefingers as of this writing... with a "War of the Middlefingers" quietly brewing behind the scenes. I've only included the Middlefingers with direct hooks into the LMB here, namely Large Handsome (Middlefinger II), his brother Molock (IV) and the aforementioned Princess (VIII).
- Although we discussed the possibility in this thread of STU's brother, Raging Bull, hailing from Ancient times, I don't feel comfortable indicating that here without some sort of consent/affirmation. Accordingly, for the time being, STU comes from Ancient Pre-Egypt, RB is contemporary... stranger things have happened.
- Cobie, in your "Written History" you refer to STU and Cru's daughter as "Dru," but in the original post she was called, "Lu," so I decided to go with STU's authorial intent.
- I haven't included the previously used "x-arrow" notation for off-chart connections because - in this case - all of the right pointing lines lead to one place: a romantic connection to Cobie - what a surprise!

Once I started scratching the surface of thing, I kept getting sucked in deeper and deeper. It's like a huge logic puzzle or something that I just have to solve.
quote:Originally posted by Abin Quank: Also it has long been established that Stoopid Cat and Fat Cramer are brother and sister. How that works has never been revealed.
I think I came up with a fairly simple solution for that which makes a lot of sense and doesn't violate anything else that's come before. Take a look and let me know if you agree:
So... the Abin/Ibby/Ex/Emily block (or the "It's all about Everyday Girl" block):
OK:
- Abin Quank, the patriarch of the Quank Clan, is the widower of the late Pagan Lass, an ancient Pre-Egyptian sorceress, herself the daughter of the goddess Bast and one of her concubines, Numnuts the Semi Incomprehensible (whose apprentice was the mage, STU).
- Abin also had affair with High Priestess Vivianne (a Shade of the LMBer Tempest) the union of whom produced a daughter, Divine Opal Janell (also a Shade)
- Abin's adopted brother Bart Quank (known as Space Ranger) had a serious relationship with the late Emerald Empress.
- Abin's late wife Pagan Lass (who was served by her familiar Stoopid Cat, himself a creation of Bast) had previously been married to an another man and, during that relationship, had given birth to Princess Diana of Valhalia.
- Princess Valhalia and Hrun the Barbarian (himself the son of an affair between a Barbarian woman and a time traveling Matlock - who, being much older than his appearance would indicate actually had 9 other children with his wife from earlier in his own personal timeline) are the parents of Everyday Girl.
- Everyday Girl, for her own protection, was placed in an orphanage as a small child (where she was close friends with fellow orphans Holly Honey and My Whee Fem) was later adopted by her grandmother Pagan Lass and Abin, who she considers to be her "Gramps".
- Everyday Girl is in a committed relationship with Sam Pureheart but previously had a huge crush on Invisible Brainiac.
- She is also protected by two small sprites named Nobody and Noone, very ancient residents of the Cack dimension. These cacks resemble tiny versions of Cobalt Kid and Eryk Davis Ester for reasons that date back to a time travel trip to Ancient Greece that Cobie and EDE haven't even as yet undertaken (but which Shark Lad has), as related: HERE
******************************
- Invisible Brainiac is currently in a commited relationship with Blaze, but has previously been linked to Spelling Bee, and a young girl named Sara (a barista at Cafe Cramer) whose sister Anne (also known as Danger Damsel) previously was involved with Cobie.
******************************
(Rampant plugging of Exnihil-authored LMB stories to follow )
- Exnihil (after a long and convoluted series of events involving the collapse of a rogue timeline, related: HERE - which is well worth a read if ever you get a free day or so) is the son of Amelita Ward and Leo Gorcey.
- As related in the previous post, he has undeclared feelings toward My Whee Fem, and had an awkward near romantic faux pas with Red Arrow after he got too drunk: HERE
- He is also very close friends with the talismanic mage, kenaustin, who first encouraged Ex to travel to Legion World, and later taught him a valuable lesson: HERE
******************************
- Red Arrow (AKA Emily Sivana) is the product of a long lineage of both heroic and villainous personages (abbreviated here reflect just her LW specific adventures). Of note is the fact that her uncle Lex Knight seems intent on getting her into an arranged marriage with an individual of his choosing for seemingly nerafious reasons.
- At Invisible Brainiac's encouragement she finally entered into a romantic relationship with her long-time associate Sebastian Sage AKA Question Lad. Previously she had a crush on LMB member Power Boy.
******************************
Other Stuff:
- I wound up having to drop the "crush" line that Ibby had toward Lolita (as she is currently better placed in the Shark Lad block) but added the Everday Girl crush toward him, as that was more intense in any case.
- I have a feeling that I'm missing some sort of connection between Power Boy and his earlier persona Disaster Boy, but I'm not entirely sure what the deal is there (maybe this is included in the Lord of the Oval epic?)
- Abin had stated that Fat Cramer and Stoopid Cat were brother and sister but that the actual mechanics were unknown. Given that the goddess Bast was explicitely stated to have concubines, it made a lot of sense to me that Fat Cramer's feline race was very likely to have been a product of that system. Perhaps all cats are in some way siblings, as the descendants of Bast. Like I said up top, this is just my suggestion, and can be removed if there is disagreement.

It also means...dun-dun-dun!!!...that they are related to Queen Connie, now deceased and Vee's cat, and Jinx, Eryk's calamity cat! (FYI, Eryk also had a Calamity Monkey, who became Liberty Monkey, before going back in time to have adventures with Tomahawk).

Oh, I crossed that line a long time ago, Dev.
OK... the Rocky/Lardy/Eryk block:
- Rockhopper Lad is the heir to the throne of the Pyngwyn Colonies of the planet Hyustyn. The son of the current emperor, Eudyptes XXVIII, and the Empress Maryss, his patrilineal predecesors include former emperors Chrysochome XXXIV and Eudyptes XXVII.
- Also included in the royal family are Rocky's sister Princess Adelie, his cousin Princess Makarona (who used to date Cobie) and his great uncle Krestor.
- Romantically, Rocky has been involved with the late Blaine Fey (Openly Gay Lad of Earth 4) and, for a time, fellow LMB member Lard Lad. He also acts as the mentor to Tim Temp, the hero known as Time Teller Lad.
- Both Rocky and his sister have been seen to have parallel duplicates on Earth 4, his - the Evil Emperor Penguin, and hers - the heroine Rockhopper Lass. Siblings also, I haven't listed the full lineage of the earth 4 Rockhoppers as it is merely parallel to Rocky's own.
- As the heir to the throne, Rocky knighted and served as the patron to the late Sir Roy (formerly the Royal Inquisitor), who had long been engaged to Quislet Esq.
- Time Teller Lad himself was romantically linked to the late Clive Taylor, a robot duplicate of Lard Lad who was granted sentience, and who himself had earlier dated Babette, a robot server at SHAKES bar.
******************
- Lard Lad (of whom Clive was a robot duplicate and the late Hugh Taylor AKA Hugemanbreasts was a clone) is one of a pair of twins (the other being EDE) that came from the union between the ancient gods The One Called the One and Pornis (the latter of whom was the child of the late god XXXauron).
- Apart from the ealier noted relationship with Rocky, he has also been romantically involved with the late Leelee (known as Dazzle Lass), Hummer Lass (although this may be more of a deep affection as opposed to romance), the woman known as Girl Girl or Hermaphrodite Helen, and the late sisters Mordra and the sorceress Dru (daughters of Mala and the late Mordru).
- Through various means, Mordra has mothered two children with Lardy against his will, both of whom have later been given to Helen for their upbringing. The first, Helena, was carried to term by Mordra, while the latter, Hugh Desmonius, had his essence magically transferred to Helen, who then physically birthed him.
- Mordra herself was married to the heir of the Clan Hyrkos, Damyen. Following his death, and that of his brother Collus, leadership of the clan has passed to an illegitamate child of their father and a peasant woman, now going by the name Kalla Hrykos - known for a time in LMB circles as Hot Chick. Kalla is currently involved with Dev Em.
- Lardy also has a spiritual connection to the wraith, Ghost Girl, the nature of which has not been revealed.
******************
- The other One Called the One/Pornis twin is Eryk Davis Ester who is currently married to a mystery woman, but has, in the past been romantically linked to Kid Gender Stereotype Reversal II (the sister of the late Kid Gender Stereotype Reversal), and Antiquated Forms of Communication Lass, the later of whom is close friends with Lucifer Lass - a girl who serves The One Called the One and (although at one time represented herself as a possible duplicate of Eryk) has recently claimed that she is his sister (though she makes no such claim toward Lard Lad).

...and here's the whole thing put together again, with all the suggestions and revisions thus far (along with a legend) and some roughed out dividing blocks (I'll gussy it up later, it's just as a general guide).
I think the only additions I've put on that haven't already been discussed are:
- A former romantic relationship between Icefyre and Italian Boy - A tight friendship between Lash and Rhino - A crush from Thora to Outdoor Miner (Really? Apparently, she was taken with his "soulful green eyes"!) - The Danger Damsel/Scipio Taltarus romance - And looping Harbinger in as part of the Numf-Sonnie tight bond.
That's what I've got thus far.
I'd love to get some more folks in, but am at a loss as to how the rest fit in.
Some ommisions thus far (not at all complete I'm sure) include:
- Arachne - cleome - Dedman/Viridis (I know he's married to Disdemona... but is there anyway to connect the pair to the main trunk?) - Disaster Boy (Is he connected somehow to Peebs, other than Peebs having pretended to be him?) - Fanfic Lady (In a relationship with Deirdre and avatar of Amora the Enchantress but, again, anything connecting that set of characters to the larger group?) - Helena Handbasket - Kid Prime - Kid Voodoo - Lucien Lad - Nightcrawler - Nova Girl (was she involved romantically with Tamper Lad or just close friends?) - Poverty Lad - Seahorse - Shadowplay in Candlelight (I was thinking as a "maternal" figure to Sarcasm Kid but, again.. what are the LMB hooks?) - Suddenly Seymour - Whitelighter/White Raven - The Yellow Kid (I can do a whole Primary Color Gang section, but how to best connect the whole thing?)
Those are the ones that immediately jump to mind, but who else might I have missed?

Disaster Boy is not connected to Peebs other than Peebs thinking it was a cool name to steal when he first showed up on LW. DB having just departed. Very Mystery Lad ... Sensor Girl-ish.
In my imaginary world ... it never caught on and everyone started calling Power Boy .. Power Boy ... because of his many powers and well he's powerful.
anyhoo ... Disaster Boy's evil parents from his alternate dark future X-Men-esque timeline ... named (planet) "Qward" ... are named Cosmos King and Saturnine Queen (evil dopplegangers of Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy)
They've shown up as villains in Legion World's main timeline briefly.
Disaster Boy had a crush on a "falcon" (or a hawk). who may or may not be a statue. big emphasis on the MAY. or it could have been a companion .. i don't know ... it's one of those weird historical things like Power Girl's pregnancy that just IS ignored.
Disaster Boy is however, a very real Legion Worlder and about to kick some butt in The Lord of the Oval novella.
anyway, there's an attraction between Disaster Boy and Peebs but nothing in canon yet.

unless of course Power Boy finds out about Disaster Boy's thing for falcons ... then it most likely will be off ...

Power Boy is quite promiscuous and open but he did have a bit more than a passing interest in Question Lad ... which is interesting ... but not reciprocated.

Rocky is (or maybe was) Deirdre's employer (she is on staff at the Rookery), so they have a professional relationship that may be a way to get her and Fanfie on the chart. Sir Roy also had a professional relationship with Rocky, since he was a Knight of the Pyngwyn Colonies.
[Edit: Oh, there he is! Duhh! Ex, you are so 'way beyond mere awesomeness!]
Technically, the Blaine that Rocky was romantically involved with should be called "Openly Gay Lad", as noted, the Blaine Fey of Earth-4. The evil Blaine Fey of Earth-1 was involved with the Emperor, but that Blaine never adopted another name.
I like that you found a way to get the Emperor and Rockhopper Lass in.

Also, when Rocky was Deputy Leader under Joeboy, Lad Boy served as his secretary (he was promised a cushy job during the election). I guess a lot of people have worked for Rocky at one time or another.

- Apart from the ealier noted relationship with Rocky, he has also been romantically involved with the late Leelee (known as Dazzle Lass), Hummer Lass (although this may be more of a deep affection as opposed to romance), the woman known as Girl Girl or Hermaphrodite Helen, and the late sisters Mordra and the sorceress Dru (daughters of Mala and the late Mordru).
Lardy also had a (complicated) sexual thing going with Kalla Hrykos for a time.
And let's not forget his current situation with Tempest. they started out flirting a lot and then finally did the deed. After that, she kind of pushed him away, though he was head-over-heels. Since they've been together on the Oval mission, it looks more and more like she really does feel the same way about him, though both haven't had time to really sit down and talk about it.
quote:Kalla is currently involved with Dev Em.
Actually, it's Timber Wolf she's involved with, not Dev.
quote:Lucifer Lass - a girl who serves The One Called the One and (although at one time represented herself as a possible duplicate of Eryk) has recently claimed that she is his sister (though she makes no such claim toward Lard Lad).
Recently, (in Lord of the Oval) Lucy has revealed that she is Eryk and Lardy's half-sister, the product of a union with the One and an unknown father.
