About the Negative 10, Charmcaster is in it, so share any thoughts you might have.

==============================================================

Charmcaster's character:

What we know of her.... These are just theories, so they are not 100% true by any means. please post your thoughts. Some theories were gained with my discussion with and .

Charmcaster was raised by hex: There was no mention of her parents. She was the only one who rescued hex from prison, without help from any parents (from tough luck). Which is kinda odd, cause why didn't Hex brother help rescue him from prison. Even if her parents ordered the rescue, Hex treated her and threaten her as if he was in charge, which implied that her parents are dead, and she was in his care since childhood. At the end of "don't drink the water," she took mini-hex with her, and still no signs of her parents. Arbitrarily, where was hex in the Negative 10 episode? maybe she left it to her parents? or maybe the consequential rapid growth made hex old enough to escape from her.

Charmcaster had a bad childhood: obviously she took offense of being called a "freak" in the episode "a change of face" and she took it pretty bad. This implies a secluded childhood, and lack of any friends she may have. Clues from a change of face includes the way she dresses. Other clues might suggest that she was interested in different things like magic. This may be one reason why she is a villain in Ben 10. Near the end of the episode "tough luck," right before the tower fight, she did feel guilty of betraying gwen just to give the Charm of Bazell to Hex. This could mean that she really wants a friend deep down inside, but her objectives forces her away from it.

Charmcaster's personality: She is driven by the need to get more power. Still no mention on why, but she would even sacrifice her own body just to get it. I personally dont think she is interested in "ruling the world" but maybe something to do with her past. This shows that she can be irrational at times, but when she does things such as evading battle with gwen, or sweet talking her way out of trouble, this can show that she has common sense. Why did she work for the Negative 10, my best guess was for revenge. She didnt show many interest in having the power that the forever knights took. This may conclude that her goals are changing every episode.

Charmcaster's bag: This one is a great mystery, even to me. The bag has a portal to unlimited spells of all sorts. It can even hold Hex's staff inside. It has a mind of its own, and seems to be linked in some way with charmcaster. When Gwen in charm's body was escaping jail in "a change of face" it moved by itself to follow her. Most of Charmcaster's power comes from the bag, but what is interesting is how Gwendolyn manage to get a hold of one of the "dog, creature, thingy" in Ken 10. My theory is that parts of it where things left from her past (maybe parts of clothing left by her father) and the crude sewing work can suggest that she made it at an early age. Nevertheless that bag is pretty awesome, I WISH I HAD ONE! The unnatural look might also support the idea that she didn't have a good childhood, symbolizing her suffering maybe.

Charmcaster's Future?: This one is just 100% fan material, but listen if you want. She is technically chaotic neutral, and not 100% evil like Vilgax. Maybe she joins good side (I hope). After seeing the negative 10 episode, she was trapped in the force field. She can still easily get out by a teleportation spell or maybe turn the keys like what Gwen did. Animo's appearances in Ben 10,000 implies that they all escaped somehow. I am guessing another fight with gwen then she would go neutral, cause I really hate to see her as a long term rival, it really isnt her character. Plus it would be interesting to see her turn good, wouldn't you agree?


=========================== Fan-Fiction ============================

Alien Force FanFiction:
From what I heard, Charmcaster won't appear til season 3, . So here is a little fan-fict

Opening:
Hex(adult) enters a plumber's prison, where Charm was imprisoned by Gwen 2 years ago. Because of Charm's ability to use magic, the prison is a magic time-prison which freezes time for the person being held (I did this so they would be at the same age, but charm is a little older than before) Hex destroys the security sentinels, breaks down the doors, and dispels the prison. He then forces Charm to follow his order, and promise her revenge.

(Intro music)

Ben/Gwen/Kev are visiting around, finding artifacts that would help them defeat the DNAliens. They stumbled into a museum, where ancient fossils, books, jewelery were kept that suppose to contain "magical powers." During the time, Charm disguised as a visitor, breaks away a glass displays and steals an old book. When security comes, she uses her magic to liquify the ground. Once the security steps into the liquid, the ground hardens and stops them in their tracks. Ben/Gwen/Kev comes in and tries to stop her. Charm doesn't recognized them at first, until Ben reveals his omnitrix. She even calls Ben a "cutie" which Kevin mistaken that it was for himself. Being a 3v1 battle, Charm sends out her minions, and retreats back to hex with the book. This time her minions are wolf-shaped, faster and stronger than before. After Ben/Gwen/Kev defeated the minions, they wondered why the book was so important. They asked a curator, who said it has something to do with a dimensional prison. While Gwen begins tracking Charm with a broken piece of the minions, Ben blushes a bit.

(commercial break)

Back at Hex's place, Charm gives Hex the book, and Hex begins deciphering the book for a youth spell (big surpise)... Soon Ben/Gwen/Kev catches up, and Hex orders her to destroy them. This time Charm takes out a huge minion-stone from her bag, which summons into a giant mantis-like dragon. Charm commands it to "kill all but the cute one". With Ben as Chromastone, Kev as reinforced steel, and gwen using her magic, they were unable to even scratch the new monster. When Kevin complains to Ben, Gwen focuses her sight on the magic aura, and found that by separating the bag from Charm should destroy it the minion. Ben turns into Jetray, and manages to snatch Charm's bag away from her. The Mantis crumbles, and Ben/Gwen/Kev begins playing "monkey in the middle" with Charm's Bag. As the bag is being tossed, Charm begs for it back. When the bag reaches Kevin, he tells her to "calm down freak." Charm loses her temper and begins physically hitting Kev. Kev, then turns into stone, which injures her fist. Charm then surrounds her hand with magic, and hits Kevin again, injuring him in stone form.

Meanwhile, Hex find out that by banishing a blood relative to the null void with magic, he can add the victim's years and powers to his own life. Hex then casts an area effected lightning which paralyzes everyone including Charm.

(second commercial Break)

The trio, along with Charmcaster are bounded by magic in a Temple. Hex slowly begins opening a portal through chanting. Hex explains his plans to his niece, as she curses him. Then he tells Ben/Gwen/Kev, that he will "deal with them later" promising that it will be painful. As the portal begins opening, Ben struggles to reach his omnitrix, but only manages to set it. Seeing how it was hopeless to turn into an alien, Gwen ask Kevin if he could change part of himself into her hair. Gwen swings her hair at kevin, but fails the first attempt. On the second try, Gwen's hair manages to touch Kevin's shoulder, which made his arm incredibly flexible. Kevin moves his right arm, and hits Ben's omnitrix turning him into Big Chill. Hex then starts to throw Charm into the portal. Ben escapes the magic by turning invisible, and dashes to Charm, saving her right before she fell in. As they crash into safety, Charm yell "you could be a little more GENTLE! can't you?!" Ben begins to fight Hex, who unleashes a serious of fireballs shaped as skulls. As the fight continues, both Ben and Hex are locked in a standoff, as Hex begins slowly pushing Ben into the portal.

Hex orders Charm to help, and she begins to struggle with the decision. Finally Charm surrounds Hex with her magic which creates and explosion, causing Hex to fall into the Null Void. The portal then closes and Magic holding Gwen and Kevin dissipates. After a moment of silence and a little grief from Charm, Ben thanks Charm for her choice. Charm then tells Ben that she did it for him. She then ask Ben if he would go out with her. Ben tells her that he was seeing someone else (assuming he still is). Disappointed Charm, yells at Ben, and promises revenge to Gwen, next time they meet. As she leaves, Ben feels a bit depressed. Kevin tells him "looks like lover-boy can't say the right thing". Gwen replies "Shut up Kevin". Kevin "whaaat?"

End

=======================================================

Reasons:

Pros:
1. New character on the good side at a different age.
2. New magic spells that can be shared with Gwen.
3. Episodes will be made focusing on her past.
4. What's gonna work? Team work (ok, ok, my lil bro watches Nick Jr.)
5. Makes CC's Role bigger.
6. Bad turning good is a good theme for shows (well in America at least)

Cons:
1. Gwen loses a potential rival, for those aggressive male audiences. (not really a con)
2. More villains (technically just one, so not really a con)


==========================================================

Reasons why it should happen:

1. In the episode Ken 10, Gwendolyn uses a homoculus egg to create those dog-creatures-thingy (they werent really given a name). A good chance that the egg came from Charmcasters Bag, which "could" imply that charmcaster turned good, because the bag only listens to her.

2. If charmcaster stayed bad, she would most likely become subordinate to another bad guy, and most likely turn against him. If charmcaster was good, she wouldn't undergo subordination, and be treated as an equal.

3. Gwen really needs a friend, she hasn't, technically, had a friend the entire time.

4. Many other similar shows copied the same motif. Teen Titans with Jynx and Terra. Avatar with (possibly) Zuko/Iroh. XiaoLin Showdown with Raymundo (I dont really watch that shows). And all Transformer series usually ends up with a bad guy turning good. Naruto (I wont spoil it for you)

5. Ken 10, Devlin turns good at the end, which "may" show that the Tennysons have a soft side.

============================================================

NEGATIVE 10

It is so BS that CN didn't air it here. BTW it is really awesome!! I am just glad CC didn't get sent to the Null Void (OH THANK GOD!!!!!!). Hex didn't show up, and charmcaster pretty much fought gwen only.

well she doesn't have a really good chance of joining the good team, it is definitely possible!

=============================================================


ENJOY!
