This piece was followed by weeks of anxiety and guilt of not drawing MC characters for this Madness Day but my own OCs. On the other hand, they'd never existed if not for Madness Combat.

When I first came across MC I was still a child with a rather shitty PC that could run little to no games and I was in a constant search of flash games and cartoons. I found MC pretty amusing back in the day but thought nothing more of it and soon enough my brain began to see MadCom as some kind of my weird fever dream, I wasn't even sure if these weird little cross-faced guys ever existed to begin with. That was until the goddamn TRICKY MOD for FNF. I looked at him and was like "Wait, this dude's familiar." and after a little bit of search I realized. MadCom. was. real. ALL THIS TIME. All this time I thought it to be the distortion of my childhood memories of all the things I saw on the internet back then.

I got sucked into MadCom fandom. And OH BOY what a great time it was and IS.

And I created a whole damn fanon universe on MC from where all of these OCs are. It's a wild mix of noir, cyberpunk, dystopia and apocalyptic genre. Finally, MADNESS WOMEN written into the lore, corporations, gangs, cyborgs, etc. But one of my favorite things in writing my fanon was the fact that... A lot of cool features were made up completely random yet were so good in a full picture. The mad doctor Jocasta with her crew (that was created 80% of randomly generated grunt hirelings from M:PN2 Arena Mod), Therese's Nevadean Church that zealously worships The Savior, Friday the 13th's street goons and yellow-blooded Eris whose "family" believes yellow-bloods are superior. Damn, even the guy on the preview was randomly created. I call him Agent Rhodes and I love to joke he's like- the only competent agent in the whole AAHW.

I had a great time in Madness Combat once I rediscovered it again. I'm looking forward for more! Thank you, all of you.
