Bones

Like you, I'm digging this dude. He needs to be around more.

I kinda figure he'd be on the mob boss shit list as well, seeing as how he kidnapped his daughter and all. Maybe Bones figures if he can whack Stinkyman, then the mob boss will call it "even." Not sure if that works. Sounds OK if you don't think too hard, I guess.

Anyway that gives us the opportunity to have Bones always hot on the trail of Stinkyman. Whenever we get stuck for a fresh storyline -- Oops, there's that pesky Bones causing trouble for our hero in Bangkok.

I'm even kicking around the idea of longtime nemesises Bones and Stinkyman to be forced to join up at some point, perhaps to escape a Thai prison or some other shit. That specific example is weak and cliche, but you get the idea.

Also, in the Diplomat Lounge battle, Stinkyman managers cave in half of Bones's skull (maybe he blasts half of it off, not sure yet). The reader figures Bones is dead, but he dramatically re-appears later with half of his face now repaired, perhaps with steel or wood, or creepier yet, some sort of manequin-looking face deal. Ewwww! We can really work this angle with Bones's entire body. Everytime Stinkyman manages to beat Bones in a fight, Bones comes back stronger and stronger. So by winning, the hero simply creates a tougher foe to face in the future. I can see readers anticipating how Bones will return - what new wrinkle will he have added?

that final paragraph should read "Stinkyman manages to cave..", not "Stinkyman managers."

I'm not that good a typer.

Fucking love all of it.

Do u imagine that Bones wears clothes?

I mean, I know privately you probably imagine him without clothes, but I'm not talking about your weird personal moments.

Oh yeah. He's a snappy dresser. Stylish with nice suits and stuff.

I actually sort of stumbled across the realization that Bones and Stink are similar - bald head, no real facial features to speak of. Weird.
