Oh, I dunno, if Rosalie is anything like some of my relatives, she might approve of her son hanging out with a scantily clad ex-demigod. It might go something like this.


Rosalie: Hello, Gino!
Gino: M-mother?! After all these years, you're back at last!
Rosalie: So I see you don't have children yet.
Gino: Well, no, I'm only-
Rosalie: You should go make children. I want grandbabies. Three girls and two boys as soon as possible.
Gino: ...But...
Rosalie: Your Sentinel friend over there would make pretty children
Gino: gonk
Rosalie: Make your parents proud. surprised

Now THAT would be a funny plot update!

Heyy guyysss! More fun general information from AtA this week! It looks like some time soon we'll be getting "bio"s for the characters, which I am mega excited for. I wonder what sort of fun stuff they'll include! According to Lanzer in response to Cynthia's question about Johnny's birth date, it should likely include that. And I bet lots of other fun stuff! Woohoo! heart

Lanzer

We should actually have the full bio released sometime soon. He's about 5' 10 or so.

Johnny is much taller. He's a big guy. I've heard it's almost 7 feet.

That's not really been decided yet. More news to come.

Jasette

Lanzer! You had me in a pretty good mood on gaia over the past couple of weeks -- happy and hopeful. Thank you for that! heart Here are my questions this week:

1) About how tall is Gino Gambino? His height has fluctuated a lot over the years, but how tall is he now?

2) About how tall is Johnny?

3) You said last week you're all for giving Gino a haircut. I've taken a (somewhat biased) sampling of GSTers and Haremites alike and those who've spoken up said they'd be fine with it. Would you be willing to make the case to the artists to make him a new design? Or would you have to make a gaia-wide poll first?

For anyone who's interested: Check out my Gambino Art Contest!

I always knew he was tall...but he's half the size of the Hulk. 0_0

My head-cannon pictures Rosalie Gambino to look and act like Jane Lynch/Sue Sylvester from Glee.

[gosts]

I can seriously not wait for the bios, though. Does he loom over EVERYBODY?
Hot damn I'll never have to reach for something for as long as he lives. <333

rofl That couldn't be farther from my head-canon, and yet, I just find it hilarious.

Cynthia-- I feel like Bucho is probably close to Johnny's height. Johnny probably hired him mostly because of his size, not necessarily because he had any skills. XD

[gosts]

Oh man, don't discredit Bucho! Sure, he never did much to ensure that the two stayed alive, but Gino seemed to like him! 8D


...

O' course, Gino hasn't really proven himself to be the greatest judge of character... but it's gotta count for something?

Oh, I'm not saying he's a bad guy... I definitely like him alright, you know that. It's just... a lot of things have happened under his watch that shouldn't have happened if he was doing his job right. XD You can't deny me that.

From a zOMG! forum topic/chat transcript with artist [ JK ]:

Quote:

lolperson1: I really wanted to meet Gambino in the game, to be honest

lolperson2: Dude, Gambino would own our asses so hardcore. :U

[ JK ]: well, gambino island will be made.. so maybe you'll still see something

person4: oh we fight gambino? 8D

censored-name-here: beating him would grant us a lot of goldies right? *o*

person4: we can strip his clothing

person4: and pawn those off

[ JK ]: maybe you'll fight zombino boss in the game

lolwut?

Honestly I assumed you might have had to fight the Animated big gold statue of Johnny, not...Zombino (???!)
They're apparently far along with the Isle, too o.o
And golden egg hatches this month yaaay for everyone who has it

[gosts]

/boughtitoffMPduringEaster


Also mannnnnnnnnn I think I am officially NOT gonna play zOMG.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S HORRIBLE, THE THOUGHT
BRB CRYING MYSELF TO SLEEP

[LabTech Kestin]

I'm pretty sure that was a joke. If it's not...well that'd be pretty tasteless of them. >_>

I keep missing AtA lately. gonk Curse you, inconvenient distractions!

[Wolf Sawyer]

I thought the same, since it sounded very offhand, more like a "maybe" concept.

I do believe though, that the statue is not out of the question, since almost anything can become Animated.

Though in a very offputting way, this gives people a chance to interact with him, kinda.
Depending if the Statue Johnny has the same personality as the person its modeled after.

[Jasette]

I think they probably considered it, buuut I can't really see it as a feasible option. I mean... it would just be cruel.

Also, I can't really imagine the animated Johnny being exactly like Johnny... but this is Gaia, so heck, what do I know. That's the thing about death and the laws of nature... we're not dealing with real life here. Imaginary circumstances are a heck of a lot less predictable.

[Wolf Sawyer]

Thats what I thought too. If the statue DID Animate, it wouldn't be Johnny, it'd be like....the gold itself, using its new Animated form to get revenge from being traded back and forth from other Gaians, and then painfully melted together into a statue, or something.

Something like a multiple-beings-in-one sitch like the Wishing Tree.

[gosts]

Oh man that would probably be the creepiest thing ever.

PS I finally found my mininotebook with all my ficdealings in it, but the last time I saw it we didn't have much of ANYTHING to go on for age s**t
so now I'm going through that Chapter Zero manga again since what I'm writing deals with Edmund

and I realized
all this time I've assumed they were childhood friends, or school buddies, when that is just not the case.
Here's what Johnny had to say:
"I wanted to push our world towards greatness, and I knew just the man to help me do it. Years ago, I ran across the second most brilliant man I'd ever met-- next to me, of course. He was a genius at chemistry and electronics, and he dressed so sharp you could grate cheese on him. At the time, he was just a low-level scientist working at the Reclamation Facility, but by night he was conducting incredible experiments. He made a newt that lights up! I thought, 'one day, this fellow will make some company very, very rich.' Luckily, I was right. And I owned that company."

That tells us that by the time they met, both men were already settled into their own careers. Johnny was MOST LIKELY already a big name (but when would he not be, being so incredibly tall? ;B)
Sooooooooo yeah. There go quite a number of my hopes and dreams.

JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE MY REVELATIONS WITH YOU ALL
