Vanilla Pudding
<< ! > WIP < ! >>
An 11 year old ~ mis-diagnosed & over medicated by teachers and parents mutates into a crime stopping, do-gooder ~ coming around to saving the world and bringing justice to 6th grade like never before!!!
Vanilla Pudding ...is a new kind of SUPERHERO.
Haven't you ever wished you could kick the crap out of someone using what's in your imagination?
Wouldn’t it be great if you could also stun them with “smart words” when you get back to the real world!!!
...leaving your enemies dumbfounded and speechless? Vanilla Pudding has found a way to do just that…
Who are they?
Not “Quite” like any kid. At first glance one might assume they are a harmless-twit or a quirky introverted-vanilla nerd. Piss em’ off, however, and you will find yourself in places which can reduce the most imposing headmaster or neighborhood bully into babbling babies.
Where do they live?
11 year old Vanilla resides in the idyllic small town setting of 2 Tree Hill. It’s picturesque and pleasant in many ways, but also very dangerous. Vanilla, trots about her days like a wide eyed pony, relishing the simple side of life (caterpillars, moon pies, kaleidoscopes etc.) but these flights of fancy are almost always ruined by the harsh cold reality of being a kid, not all kids like caterpillars, not all days can be sunny.
How do they get their powers?
When pushed to far, Vanilla’s over-developed HYPO-CEREBRUM GLAND kicks into high gear and pumps out a powerful cocktail of Vitamin P-juice. As the P-juice floods here neurological system, Vanilla’s brain activity races off the charts and the biochemical reaction enables her imaginative abilities to create a sub-reality within which she can transform into her alter ego – Vitamin P! Endowed with the powers to enter her very own “self created” fantasy offers an imaginary playground for Vanilla to work out her real world challenges.
How does this work?
A world created by an unstable little person hosts an equally unstable cast of Allies and Enemies. It’s a wild thicket where Vanilla’s super-powered alter-ego, Vitamin P! can crusade for harmony and justice in the swirling chaos of their own mind. When she succeeds in finding a “physical solution” and a deeper insight into Vanilla’s “real world” problems they hand the reigns back to Vanilla who is able to now deliver a profound and unique way of overcoming her challenges.
Through Vitamin P’s adventures is where Vanilla Pudding finds another dimension to herself. It may not always be sweet, but it is empowering and FUN!
Limited only by her imagination -- Vitamin P can transform Claude, the neighborhood 3x hard-science title holder, into the super buffed Senor Especial and her half melted, star-shaped, plastic barrette into the ever-clever imaginary friend Mr. Enjoyable, creating her very own trio of pre-pubescent super-heroes. They’re an intimidating click whose combination of brute force and playful ingenuity can take on the mounting manifestations of Vanilla’s deepest insecurities and fears. The three heroes win the day with insight, intelligence, and an unlimited arsenal of over the top toys supplied by Senor Especial’s Super Fantastic Toy Lab.

Villains are everywhere
It’s a good thing Vanilla and her crew are packing, for one never knows when Unforgivable Floyd and the Sister’s Ugly will appear, bringing with them sinister plots fueled by absolute immaturity. Or a disgruntled One Eyed Jack who misunderstands his purpose and wants to destroy everything with 2 eyes. Perhaps this time it’s SHATPANTS the nefarious Alien Cat bent on world domination – who when not occupied by his irritable bowls, is busy calculating a “real world” masquerade as Vanilla’s beloved pet. He has the “gullible blonde” blinded by a conviction for “animal activism”. If the trio can smite those villains they’ll have to face the Man with the Little Popcorn Head, and he is of a whole different caliber of evil.
Popcorn Head is an unwelcome adult plaguing Vanilla’s fantasies; a nightmarish ghoul at the helm of a marauding steam engine, with giant saw blades for wheels, who’s primary objective is to surgically dredge up Vanilla’s deepest fears and devour the fearless Vitamin P once and for all - leaving Vanilla powerless!!!
No one is sure how he got into Vanilla’s sub-conscious, or why he feels compelled to be in the “kids” sandbox, but if he was able to get in who knows what he can unleash into the real world!!! …if manifestations in Vanilla’s mind were to have a life of their own the ramifications could be insurmountable.
Bad Girls on all sides, Alien Felines coming from Space, and a freaky older man driving trains around their brain - It’s no wonder everyone thinks “their” crazy!
More about Vanilla Pudding as a Character
Vanilla is our protagonist, it’s “their” story. All other characters are either her friends, antagonists, or figments of her imagination. They are an 11yr.old, on the brink of becoming a new teenager. At the stage when you become wise to the pressures and anxieties of an adult world. A very inquisitive and thoughtful brain resides inside that little block- shaped head. Thoughts certainly wander, however, and are often a bit skewed - partially informed and crass. Vanilla is NOT a perfect roll model, a little person has immature vices like anyone else which keep them from being a cute, eye batting do-do cliche. Reading a lot, doing well in school (partly because they actually like it) and is nobody’s fool when it comes to the questions of life. They aspire to the likes of a soldier protecting Titan more than reveling in how far Barbie has come. They have loads of role models in fact they come a little to easily these days so, they work hard to scratch below the surface to discover their own “originals”.
There’s a big attitude in that 11 year old frame, and with so much around that’s so dam irritating, confusing and downright complex, one just needs make a stand now and then. Vanilla’s got a big heart, and cares when things don’t go right -- which is basically most of the time. Kick, Fight, and Stand up for the underdog or for what’s right. As Vanilla or the infamous Vitamin P! They’ll put their all on the line when heartfelt duty calls.
When not setting the world straight, Vanilla enjoys time alone and spends a good bit of it under the apple tree up on 2Tree Hill. 2Tree Hill, an abandoned old apple orchard, is a place where one can go and wonder things out, which is to say, put a little distance between you and the Sisters Ugly long enough to get a little perspective with an imaginary friend, “Mr.Enjoyable”, or real friends like Stopher, who’s their “boy” friend (not “boyfriend”).
Perhaps the most important parts of Vanilla’s character is an over-sized imagination and fantasy life. Whether daydreaming flights of fancy all on their own, or forced into the action-packed adventures of Vanilla P!, there are no limits to where our little hero’s mind can wander.
Vanilla uses her vivid powers of imagination to deal with the problems and questions encountered in life, or to take advantage of the possibilities when situations become difficult.
This gender neutral character loves to dream, and their dream life is wild, lush, twisted and quite unpredictable. They are aware that their emotions have an effect on the fabric of their universe and its a mixed bag as to whether or not they has this all under control. Often times they can be as surprised as the viewer. Their creations can get out of control, adopt a life of their own or fall under the control of a more powerful imaginary influence. Once there virtually anything can happen.
There are no "real" rules, and the lines between fantasy and reality get blurred, so what happens in the fantasy realm has a direct impact on real-world situation as well. It’s not that they can’t solve their problems in real life -- her dream life is simply the vehicle used to get to the answers.
Their heroes are familiar and they are an ardent critic. From Wonder Woman, Delila, and She Hulk to Davey Crockett, Napoleon and Charles Bronson, even the fun side of mythological or biblical characters will pass their lips with much “respect”. The appreciation usually glosses over boring historical stuff and gets right to the the larger than life legends they lived. They love their epic adventures, and excitement whisks them away into wild adventures with their super-self, Vitamin P!
