"and Kokokoho meant nightowl or something in Japanese." Page four. Sorry, Matrix2501, I know it's mean to point that out, but I guess I'm racist against people who don't read.
Ok let the idiot speak in his defense. i did read but i'm talking inspiration. Not words of a character in a story. Then again i must be racist against people who make assumptions and are not open minded enough to see a possible source of inspiration.
I'm thinking that whatever led them to all be born Freakangels, whatever wave was washing over the world at that moment, also led their parents to all, independently and coincidentally, pick names with the hard-C sound in them.
I'm getting the impression that they all grew up together but to different parents.Possibly, one of those communes you read in sci fi stories. The ones with gifted couples that try to raise a better breed of children through genetic experimentation. Can't remember an example of this at the moment.
i tend to leave reading the comic for a few weeks so i can get a whole bunch of them at once... loving it.
but it annoys me slightly that i know the area, so i know a good shop that jack coulda got some rope from right near where he was going past! although he'd had to have swam for it as it's under a bridge.
my theory on the freakangels is their parents were scientists of some kind, or lived near some research lab that went horribly wrong and destroyed the ice caps and also some other freak phenomenon that no doubt destroyed a whole bunch of shit... not the most worked out theory i know...
