If you want to use it, go right ahead 
There really isn't much to do with Rick because I made the cardinal sin of creating a gimmick character - a character that, if robbed of his gimmick (headless), wouldn't really be very interesting. I'm in the process of Making one with a more involved, deeper storyline for whom the jar head is only one facet, as opposed to his entire point. Or her, even. We'll see how that goes.

You should make it a full robot body and claim that it's a powersuit for sentient ocean water.
Holy Poops!
I was on virtue last night and I saw a similar brain in a jar...or jar head...or what have you named Insane Bolt!
Was it you?

No, this one is on victory, but that you saw another one similar is reason enough for me to not want to make and use one. It was an easy concept, but it turns out everybody had the same idea. In fact, there's something else I might want to post |

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

And, yeah, thanks for your help with Rick the other day, NT. I just don't think he worked out very well and I couldn't figure out what to do with him. That and he made me feel uncomfortable. That'll teach me to make new characters without running them by you first
Speaking of which, I do have one...

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
A while ago, I made this character:
This is Insane Rick. Insane Rick is insane, and more than a little dense, but he was born with the mutant power to survive and heal from any injury, which is the only thing that has kept him alive to this day.
One day, Insane Rick decided that he would be happier without his head. After a bit of thought, tick decided to remove his head with the help of heavy construction equipment. Rick's head never grew back, but he didn't seem to be any worse off for it. When a mad scientist noticed a man walking around the back alleys without a head yet still somehow alive, he took Rick in to serve as a guinea pig for his experiments. Rick didn't seem to mind. He didn't think he'd miss his arms, anyway, and the cool mechanical replacements the scientist gave him seemed to work just fine.
Eventually, the mad scientist was arrested by police and Insane Rick had to be rehabilitated into normal society. To his surprise, most people didn't want to be friends with a man who had no head and refused to wear clothes. Such strange people. But Rick was good person and tried to help people anyway. So when those nice bank robbers came to rob the bank and shot several magazines into his chest, Rick politely asked them to leave. When they refused, he removed their heads, but unlike him, they did not prove as good at living life without a head.
These days, Insane Rick lives on the streets and doesn't eat or sleep, but this doesn't seem to bother him. He tries to be nice to people, but they usually scream and run away. He tries to be nice to bad people, too, but they usually try to hurt him. And when Rick returns the favour, they always seem to die, somehow. It's all very strange and confusing to Rick. He just wants to help. In the eyes of some, he is a hero. In the eyes of others, he is a monster. In his own eyes... Well, he doesn't really have eyes any more.
So, with this in mind, I'm donating the character to anyone who needs it. The name, the story, the costume or any pieces thereof are out for grabs, or should be soon. Not that I expect anyone would want this mess, but hey, if you know how to salvage it, go right ahead. I just don't think I can do enough with it.
