When I was still in boy scouts, a friend of mine was in town who had moved away and we thought there was a meeting a
night in December 1998 but there wasn't. We were dropped off and had an hour and a half to kill. We recalled of some of the
Sonic fanfiction we had read he brought up that I should try writing it. At first I didn't like the idea but I was pressured
on. I began writing HEBM late 1998/ early 1999.
Dr Lighthead
Believe it or not, much of the inspiration for characters was with legos. Much of the stuff in HEBM I had created in legos
but not all such as the Supremor. As for Lighthead, his name is obvious - I just took one of those light peices and slapped it
on this guy (to the left) which actually led to the concept of Dr Lighthead. To the left is the original. However, in time he
got modified. When I started to draw a fancomic in 1997, I gave him a hat which supported his light bulb. This can be seen in
the profiles section.
Gore, Lighthead's assistant is actually unknown to me how he came to be but like Lighthead, he also originated from legos
and evolved. Even his axe originated from legos and contains the same shape.
Lighgretron
Lighgretron, their home planet which is the sun is also neat to explain how I got the idea. It was from Gravity Well. I'll
need to explain the game a little fo you to understand this in anyway. Its game of planetary conquest. You are this one blue
fighter and you have to land on other planets to colonize them to get more powerful, however, 3 other races are also doing
the same thing resulting in interstellar wars (red, purple, yellow) amongst the 4. There are roughly 6 solar systems in the
sector, each solar system consisting of about 4 planets. On to the point. Anyways, I once had a dream of a race, the grays, could
land on the sun and colonize it. If you try to land on any sun in the game, blammo you go. These 'grays' had this capability
and no one else could. Their bases with in sun were huge as well and well defensed. This led to the idea of Lighgretron.
C.H.A.O.S. is from an outdated game I used to play called The CHAOS Continuum. Its a game about scientists who have
mistakenly created a sentient computer that is threatening mankind if they attempt to destroy it and you have try to track
it down by downloading information and stuff. Much of its quotes are also in the fic. In the game, CHAOS stands for Cybergenetic
Holistic Autonomous Orbiting Sever.
