I nominate CMP as the art-stylist, mostly because he isn't as shit as the rest of us.
If you can make a story that doesn't make us all Mary-Sues, I'm all for it.

Which definition for Mary Sue are we using though. Cause I've always used it as someone who's overpowered and isn't entertaining, but I know there's plenty other definitions people use.

Well our characters must have flaws and personalities. Some could be timid, some could be hotheaded, some could act as more of a liability than a team member. Stuff like this. Also, who are we going to have the comic focused on? I know we agreed on having a team as a focus, but who are members? Whose the villain? Is there an anti-hero? How about rivals? What backstories can we give to all our characters?
Most of all, how much history of the WDYD Forums can we fit into this comic without seeming overabundant?

Mary Sueism is more about overpowering in the emotional sense than physical. If a character can go through every challenge they come across, so be it, but if they do not react and change to said challenges, they are just boring.
I would also advise against one word labels for our characters. People cannot be described by their roles in a book, especially since we are all the main characters. We should all be heroes, but heroes with differring motovations and beliefs, and because of those differences, able to provide a resonable debate for any choice we come across.

So I've been thinking of who the main group will consist of. I've narrowed it down to: Wolfe, Pemi, CMP, Me, 2Hats, Funky, and Fload as an additional party member. I've also came up with a rival team (which I brought up before). The rival team consists of: Fallout, Pudding, Viempth, Zilth, Gizmo, Magnus, and Moltrox.
I also come up with an idea for "Spirit Animals". Basically a Spirit Animal is a beastly form someone can take resembling an animal. To access this form, someone needs a lot of training, and must enter the innermost thoughts of their mind. All of us will have a Spirit Animal, and I have an idea for a list.
Wolfe: Snow Wolf
Pemi: Leopard Seal
CMP: Silverback Gorrila
Me (Honey): Killer Wasp
2Hats: Tarantula (Feel free to change)
Funky: Sabretooth Tiger
Fload: Atlas Beetle
Fallout: Bald Eagle
Pudding: Atlas Moth
Viempth: Blue Whale
Zilth: King Cobra
Magnus: Lion
Moltrox: Black Bear
Additional Characters
Wilpah: Bull
Chris: Blue Dragon
Reilly: Red Dragon
Auto: Angler Fish
Pivot: Electric Eel
Tell me what you guys think

I can't get sketches done, but I can offer my idea for descriptions. Though I might be able to draw my ideas, but the pictures will be potato quality.

I can send you a rough idea for how mine should look.

It's a nice idea, but how would it mesh with everything else?
Maybe we could go the way The Suffering did it and have them be the personification of us on an adrenalin rush?
Like, for example, mine could be explained as me shooting everything I have at the enemy, but this attack is represented by me ripping open my vest/pack and growing the guns out of my body?

That could work as well. I also managed to draw most of the characters, a lot with some creative liberties I added myself (Forever being the greatest example).

No arguing? Coming up with good ideas? No one giving too much "artist integrity" to their character/animal? By god this might actually be a thing!
