Long time ago, when I was still 16 years old, I was captivated by NYPD Blue somehow. Also, i have ever watched Michael Hayes (by David Caruso). At that moment, i created my own Police detectives team after i created some random characters from my scrap paper. It was B.S.P.D. stands for Blue Star Police Department, starred by 5 main protagonists: Edward Georges, Jennifer White, Dr. Marc Drummond, Charlie Vaughan & Clark Hugo.
I changed the name into B.P.P.D. (Blue Phoenix Police Department) when i was working at my school now, 3 years ago.
Btw....
My characters have very DARK background history when i created for the first time after i watched CSI Miami and New York when i was 20's years old.
To tell you, here is my character background history before i changed completely into more kids friendly background.
1. Edward Georges
The main protagonist. He is 28 years old. His father was a captain police before he was killed by a murderer that Edward saw him by his eyes. But, apparently the murderrer was never founded after the incident and somehow it drove him to avenge his father dies by joining in police department. He has younger brother Edmond Georges, 10 years younger than him and he was still in Edward's Mom tummy when his father was killed. His mother is a cafe owner. Edward work as leader of detective police to support his sibling's college and his Mom. Edward is very good at shooting, sometimes he called as "Bullet Boy" for his high accuracy shooting range. He's expert in identifying non-living things, ballistic and handwriting.
Changes: His father was died from accident during patrol when he was 10 years old and Edmond was still not yet born. In this version, i add with his geek hobby as a video gamer. He tends to play video games with his boss Dr. Marc Drummond after working time. 😁
2. Jennifer White
The only female character in my team. She is an "Unlucky in Love" 29 years old woman with platinum blonde hair and blue eyes who oftenly failed to get her permanent boyfriend for unknown reasons. She apparently have managed a lover but her boyfriend's parents didn't agree with their relationship. After broke up, she got a new boyfriend but this 2nd time boyfriend was a traitor and he sent into jail after that. Finally, after she found another boyfriend (3rd time), she have managed to engagement at the end of story. She is working as detective police with her skills as DNA Queen for her outstanding Biology knowledge from animals until plants.
Changes: Not so many, i just removed the traitor boyfriend. She is still looking for a boyfriend in this version.
3. Dr. Marc Drummond
The boss, deputy chief and former of medical examiner. He is 52 years old, living with his 18 years old daughter. His wife was sent into jail due to illegal drugs business. He is the only black skinned character in B.P.P.D. He is a tech savvy, expert in operating machines, gadgets and encoding the system. He's also expert in identifying dead bodies conditions. Somehow, he still have conflicts with his wife even she has sent into jail and he found his wife was planning for undercover illegal business from prison.
Changes: His wife was lost during accident on their vacation. Dr. Marc is still trying to find his lost wife. Apparently, his wife founded still alive at the end of story.
4. Charlie Vaughan
A handsome 32 years old captain police with platinum blonde hair, blue eyes and friendly smile. He was the 7th kids in his family at German. His name was Charlie Ziebhen when he was young but later he changed his last name into Vaughan after he decided to move out from his luxury life to live with his uncle on North America at 13 years old. He was bulied when he was at High School until it droves his second personality as a cold blooded people, made him attack the bullier brutally until he killed them by accidentally. He was terrified and want to end his life, but after he got some theraphy and second chance to continue his education at College, he joined in police department as Rookie when he was 22 years old. Apparently, he has managed into Captain Police to lead his troopers in counter-terrorism, negotiations, arresting the criminals and homicide cases. He likes young kids and easily to befriend with kids, especially for the cases that involve kids as victim. He has outstanding Judo skills and shooting. He has two personality, one as very friendly guy and other is his darkside as a cold blooded guy when he is triggered with his worst nightmare.
Changes: I changed him as a cheerful guy with pessimistic behaviour when he is completely under pressure.
5. Clark Hugo
The only Asian member in my team. He was born in Guangzhou with his Chinese name Zhang Wu Ke. His parents died by accident and his auntie adopt him with very rude and strict discipline. Clark was a spoiled brat when he was a kid, couldn't treat anything seriously and crybaby. But, the strict disipline from his auntie built him into very serious guy and lack of sense of humour as his auntie hates something funny. He oftenly called as Mr Strict or Mr No Smile due to his attitudes. As a 36 years old of Detective police supervisor and interrogator, he is an expert in Drugs, chemical things and fingerprints. He stayed in apartment with his auntie when he moved to North America and changed his Chinese name into Clark Hugo, but his auntie got serious stroke as she couldn't move at all and have to stay on her wheelchair with her nanny when Clark have to work. During the story, he got a warning message from mysterious guy who has set bombs inside his appartment and will explode in 10 minutes. But before Clark able to get into his apartment, the bombs destroyed his apartment and killed his auntie and the nanny. In the end, he has managed to arrest the mysterious guy.
Changes: Still same smileless Clark Hugo but his auntie cannot walk due to her age, no stroke.
Phew....
That's very loooooong explanation from me.
Sorry if the reply is too long. 😅
@Tyranexx Aha, I see. Hence also the adult titles reference in your previous comment, then.
Kinda makes you wonder why that is, though. Is it because they're an afterthought, or do they want you to really make an effort to find them? Kinda reminds me of how the adult magazines were always either on the top or bottom shelf in the store, so that people would definitely see you reaching for that latest issue of Playboy and such...
By the way: just out of curiosity, but how does one make fun of adult titles?
@Anti-Matter Don't worry about the long explanation. It wasn't bad to read, and the drawings are good, as always, so compliments for that, but they're still chibi, so regardless of the somewhat more adult explanation and backgrounds (which do mostly sound like your standard crime series fare, to be honest), that massively takes away from the characters being able to be perceived as dark, much less more adult-oriented. Well, for me anyway.
So, in short, I'm still quite surprised that you like to watch several CSI series, since they contain just about everything that you always claim to be so aggressively against, so it's actually pretty much against your own beliefs to watch them.
And then condemning games for doing the same and not wanting to play those for those very reasons is now even more ridiculous than it already was, so no wonder that both me and @NEStalgia were kind of amazed at this.

@ThanosReXXX
Oh, Chibi style of my B.S.P.D. was the plot revision version.
Before that, i drew them in Normal realistic size.
It was before 2009 until i changed my drawing style into Chibi started from year 2009.
And about CSI, it was the only rated 16+ thing i "allowed" long time ago before i changed my entertainment references after CSI Miami and NY ended. And don't worry, i still can embrace the LGBT things from some America's Next Top Model cycles (Some episodes were rated 16+ due to sexual references like kissing, nude photoshoot, LGBT theme, etc)
@Anti-Matter I love those drawings! While I definitely have the imagination needed for art, I don't have the talent. XD I can churn out something halfway decent if I take my time with it, but I definitely couldn't live off of my art lol.
@ThanosReXXX Yep, I think their channel placement was primarily to make them difficult to find. As for the titles, some of the phrases and so on used to describe them were...well...weird. Pronouncing acronyms (like reading "lol" as "lawl", which I did in my early internet days) also helped make it entertaining.
Man, I really hope Yo-Kai Watch 3 goes through a physical reprint here. From what I can tell the initial run was pretty limited; it's sold out everywhere except Amazon, where the prices are in my "definitely not worth it" category. I want the game, but I'm not a collector willing to pay over 200% of the MSRP.
@Link-Hero
Um...
That was my preferences long time ago when i was around 20's years old before i changed my preferences to more kiddie as i grew up.
But i still did the same treatment for gaming rules, still play until rated Teen games.
Well, got a wedding to go to tonight for my buddy. Have to take a half day off work since its quite the drive and it starts at 5. At least on the bright side, open bar 😉
@Anti-Matter Yeah, those are more my style, and more believable as troubled characters. I can understand, to a certain point, your change in style, but I for me, small puppets looking like children just can't replace actual adult characters, so to put a heavy emotional story on chibi dolls just doesn't seem fitting to me.
But hey, it's all personal preference, and we can't all be or like the same, so that's okay.
As for the modeling/LGBT thing: I never had any doubt that you would be okay with that, so that bit was more or less stating the obvious. We already know about your somewhat outlandish tastes, after all...
The only acronym that looks like that, and which I am okay with, is LBT, as in Lettuce, Bacon and Tomatoes. On a sandwich. Other than that, I like real women. Adult ones, with some shape in their body. Huge pass on the stick figure models. Those aren't normal.
@Tyranexx Well, that was actually even more puzzling of an answer than what I had expected, and I literally have no idea what I should imagine concerning titles or phrases, and far as I know, but I'm certainly no expert or anything, even adult films don't have words or acronyms as "lol" in their title.
But I probably misunderstood that part. Well, it's either that, or I must really brush up on my 18+ movie knowledge.
Anyway, I figure you can't really explain it more clearly here, lest someone starts swinging the ban hammer, so I guess we just leave it at that. Some mysteries will forever remain...
As for the location of those channels: must be a universal thing, because over here, it's the same.
I don't even have 600 channels on my set top box, but there they are, well into the 600 and somethings...
@Link-Hero Well, that is a bit harsh, isn't it? We can't all be the same, and Anti here is kind of a typical character, like you don't come across every day, but a hypocrite? Meh...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
well my house AC acted up. $1,900 to fix. At least it's fixable But whatevs. I fixed the truck and picked up my new Nintendo Trash Monster set. Now just holding out for the work day to end.

@Anti-Matter That's pretty surprising that you'd have such normal tastes before
you should do more "serious" artwork. The chibis are well done, but they get very samey with so many of them and all so similar (same with Funko Pop, WoFF, etc.). Your "serious" artwork is extremely good! You should do some more of it!
@ThanosReXXX: There's no acronym like lol associated with that stuff to my knowledge, but I was afraid to get more explicit than that due to the nature of this board. You're correct on that front.
Currently playing: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (Switch)
@Link-Hero Well, I always keep in mind that he isn't a native English speaker, which might also make some of his wording a bit faulty at times, and besides that, he has Asperger's, so he has a form of autism, potentially making him react differently to things than we do, and also making him not being aware of certain things or simply misinterpret things at times, that most of us can understand the first time around.
I've certainly noticed in the recent past when making jokes or using sarcasm: he doesn't always get that, and often reacts in a serious manner to it.
Now, all of that doesn't mean that he can't be hypocritical, but I don't think that's really his intent or demeanor.
I think that @AlohaPizzaJack is probably hitting the nail on the head for the most part, and couple that with him not being your average person, and we're there.
@Tyranexx Yeah, I already figured it was. A mystery it is, then. (damned... )
@ThanosReXXX I mean, I don’t like to complain, but yes it’s been a rough week in general. But things are getting resolved (mostly, there may be an issue with the truck still), and I’m safely in home. And putting together Labo

All of those drawings Anti drew reminds me that I still have to draw stick figures since people want me to like it's the early 2010s.
Also there was a pineapple or two in a shopping cart I was with, i'm going to REKT the rumors before they rev up and say that said pineapples are NOT going to be on pizzas, but instead, they'll be used as homes for real estate.
I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!
I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!
