Oh, Ill give it a try! I love the direction where this comic is going! *excited*

~
Character name: Blasius Acutus (Acutus .lat - abrasive, acerbic, dangerous, lurid, sharp)
Age: 28
Birthplace: Ascalon city
Comrade or villain?: Villain!
~
Screenshots:


These screenshots are a bit small, but Ill leave him to your imagination.
~
Body shape/facial features: Tall, handsome, charming and pale.
~
Short background-story:
After traumatizing childhood in the Ascalon orphanage, being constantly mocked and rejected, Blasius grew into very unstable individual with lack of common moral. While very intelligent and talented young man he often gets lost in his very own illusions which he creates with such ease and virtuosity.

Because of his wild and unpredictable nature he mostly spends time with bandits, crooks and thieves, people who he adores and leads. Although lurid he still wins the hearts of young women who are foolish enough to accompany him and his "family". He uses a simple long sword or a rapier and an arsenal of mesmerizing and deadly spells.

But... could this shattered character still have an unspoiled fragment deep inside his soul?
~
Why I want him/her in comic: Because such fast paced and inspiring comic should have a quick-witted mesmer villain for more in-depth storyline.

Soundtrack/theme: Arcturus - The Chaos Path ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1opjmuiHWw <~must hear )

Oh, sure, why not

Character name: Farai Savitri
Age: 26 (as of the events of Nightfall)
Birthplace: Chahbek Village
Comrade or villain?: Comrade, of course!

Screenshots:
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2.../faraipose.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...aifullbody.jpg


Body shape and facial features: Farai is very petite, standing at about 4'11" (1.5m) tall, and also having a slender frame to match. Her eyes are an interesting shade of greyish-purple, almost matching that of her hair.

General attitude: Farai looks like a very serious person, and for the most part, she is. Serious, determined...and fiercely loyal. She does not see herself as the leader type, though she cannot deny that she has a knack for it. Despite her demeanor, though, she is a rather friendly person and won't turn down someone in need.

Short background-story: Born the youngest of four children into a family of Sunspears, there was no doubt that Farai would also grow up to become a Sunspear. Living in Chahbek got her used to both seeing new Sunspear recruits, as well as Corsair attacks. Losing her older brother in a Corsair raid when she was ten strengthened her resolve. When she was 17 she joined the Sunspears as a new recruit herself, quickly showing a talent for the scythe, as well as the arcane arts of the Dervish.

She rose quickly in the ranks of the Order, and now is counted among their best commanders, though she does not prefer leading others herself, instead preferring to be in the thick of things in the middle of a battlefield. She likes to use her size to throw enemies off; after all, few will think someone as small as she a threat, even if she's carrying a scythe taller than she is.

Farai's a bit of a wanderer at heart, and while she loves her homeland, she also loves travelling to and seeing the other lands. She has been all over the Tyrian continent; recently she finished her travels of Cantha, allying with the Kurzicks along the way. Something about the quiet of the forests appealed to her.

Like all Dervishes, she's a devout follower of the Gods; in particular, she primarily prays to Lyssa and Dwayna.

Why I want him/her in comic: Because she's awesome And you've said yourself that you're fascinated by her

I betta put up her profile then ..



you can cast Ala as comrade or antagonist; tho typically she's a bit o both

as a goodie, Alacrity is quixotic, capricious, and tends to follow her own path rather than what's expected of her. Let's pick something light and airy for her themesong ~

as a baddie, Ala is equally frivolous~! Imagine her humming ♪ ~ i think we're alone now .. ♫ :} to some poor soul she's filleting~!


Ala's meant to be badass but cute, and no comparison to the main heroes.
Even now, when playing her, Alacrity does not feel right in centre stage, but would fill any role of henchie, scout, spy and killer pet.


~ and why she wants to be in the comic~? cos of you, Tzu :}

Character name:Sedona Lightmare
Age: 28
Birthplace: Barradin Estate
Comrade or villain?: Comrade, of course!

Screenshots:





Body shape and facial features: 5'8" Athletic build. Stern face, rarely smiles other than engaging in mortal combat on the battlefield against all odds. Condescending looks towards those who do not take combat seriously.

General attitude: Very serious, she takes pride in her expertise and wisdom. Eternally courageous, she will look an enemy in the eye and meet equally on the field of battle. She has no patience for clowning around. She is a consummate teacher...will offer her wisdom to any she deems worthy, but for a price: hard work. No handouts here.

Short background-story: The eldest of three sisters, Sedona, is an idealist. First to rise to the challenge of defending her homeland and kinsmen from the evil that threatens them, she has never backed down from a call to duty, to a challenge of self-sacrifice to the greater good. When new threats arose in her sisters' chosen homelands, she was compelled to protect her own flesh and blood from these adversaries, whether they wanted/needed it or not. Trained from a child in the art of face-to-face combat, she is a master of any martial weapon she lays a hand on. She likes to face her foes up close and personal.

I'd like her to be in some sort of combat instructional position, or a high-ranking general. Her strive for glory and victory would only allow her to be a Comrade.




Why I want him/her in comic: My GWAMM character, I feel that her achievements and accomplishments in the GW world place her at the forefront of legends and heroes. She should be well-known in the GW universe, as a renowned leader and teacher.

Poor Tzu =P

Character name: Vira the dark
Age: 20's
Birthplace: Somewhere in the Maguuma Jungles
Comrade or Villain?: Umm, I dunno that could be up to you. She looks like a villain but looks could be deceiving. Perhaps she could be a neutral but shady character
Screenshots:
Fullbody: or
Headshot:
Body shape and facial features: 5"7 Athletic build. The only time she seems to show any facial features is when killing or making a sarcastic comment that is only amusing to herself.

General attitude: Vira is very mysterious, sometimes she seems as if she's scheming on making a killing for the "good side", other times, and perhaps if the price is right or there is something in it for her, she will work for the "good side". In an odd sort of way she might show her favorites however by crude teasing. However its hard to tell if she really is trying to be affectionate or is just doing what she does best.

Short background-story: When asked once, she said that she was born in the Maguuma jungles. However its also been rumored that she worked with the shining blade for a time, only to be exiled due to her ruthless behavior in killing. The second rumor is that after that, she traveled to Ascalon in hopes to join there ranks. While she succeeded for a while, she deserted her troop, and was classified as MIA.


Why I want him/her in comic: Sue Aside gets all the spotlight. Vira's in the low light, and not only because she's so shady. =P

Haha, I'm seeing a lot of other people with neutral/independent characters. Don't suppose you've got any plans for a mercenary band in the plotline, do you?

I see most people are submitting their very "best" characters, the most skilled ones and the most elite.
It's not at all sure that I can fit someone like that into the story, as you know I have my own main cast to ensure attention! XD
Commander/leader-type characters have a slim chance of getting through,
unless I all of the sudden throw a full blown war with several warbands (which is highly unlikely) and the seperate parties all need leaders.

Also, my characters are all considerably flawed, some are downright dislikable.
I couldn't introduce a maxed titles paladin to my band of tattered almost-heroes, for obvious reasons.

If anyone's got an idea that their character might be skilled in battle, but still doesn't work as a mercenary or hench (personal reasons? retired? family business?), but something else...
those kind of characters are easier to find a place for in the story.

- One of my characters worked in a laundry service in the Kaineng slum,
before she later advanced to become the owner of an Okiya-type place serving the Kaineng elite.
- Another one spent almost all of her life locked up in her bedroom.

That does not mean they can't be lethal warriors a few years later.

It's easier to make room for elite villains with strong personalities, but keep in mind that I won't let villains, except my own,
actually defeat my party. Your villain might be killed, or (s)he might be spared, but (s)he will most certainly not be victorious :/

Hmm i dont mind if my character as a villain ends up being slain or spared.. she can even maybe join the 'winning party' because she fights for those who have the biggest advantage.

Although if you want (and if i can) i do have another character.. who is more normal and i can write up something quick for her.. but thats up to you.

Its totally up to you Tzu. I don't think anyone would do it but its good that you're letting people know so they don't "QQ my character died". =P Your comic is yours, its very interesting so far and I hope you don't feel pressured to commission people's characters into it!

haha don't worry girl! we know we can't all end up in the league of extraordinary gentle(wo)men I think we're all gonna be thrilled enough if we get a 5-second guest appearance, no matter what. You can do to Eryn whatever you want, she's messed up enough for that - just don't kill her cuz I still need her (although that would be hard indeed... )

Your villain might be killed, or (s)he might be spared, but (s)he will most certainly not be victorious :/ Incantare is in no way a leader anymore.She over calculates and is extremely weak physically. Sometimes she has freakout sessions in the middle of battle and remembers the accident, crying and screaming in emotional pain, but only if its triggered by something. As for what that something is you will have to figure it out XD.

Also out of battle, shes a drunk ........but not a slut! Drinking Ale is the ONLY thing she does with her hands, since they keep it nice and cool >_>. Dwarven aged ale is the best, none of that silly vabbian wine for her. She will normally go ranting off about her 'adventures' when she was once a leader, but now follows command, only while giving her over calculated advice.

I dont know if I made her seem leet in my description but she is definatly NOT XD Cept for her magical ability I spose.

She could also be a tactician if you like. Avoiding the battle completely.

Can I submit my Ele as a Villian also? I don't need both characters in there but I have a pretty good idea of what my ele could do if you really dont wanna use incantare.

those kind of characters are easier to find a place for in the story. That's kind of why I went with Farai, because of my characters she's the most likely to work with and/or under someone else. She's got leader abilities, but she doesn't like it. Not so much mercenary or henchman, just more..."Need something? Need help? Cool, maybe I can learn something new or teach something myself at the same time".

She's got her flaws, I just don't think I did very good at putting any of them in ^^; I would imagine being very friendly and trusting can definitely be a bad thing for a fighter, though. It'd make it easy for her to be used by someone. In fact, depending on who/what the bad guys are, that could make her a potential villain, though an unwitting one. She's also slightly arrogant and has got a short temper that she keeps repressed. This results in explosions when she's pushed to her limit.

And keep in mind her size. She may be a melee fighter, but she's tiny and has no offensive capabilities outside what she can do with a scythe. If she ever gets disarmed, the best she can do is try and keep herself healed until she gets her scythe back or runs away. And with how stubborn she is, she won't decide the latter is an option until it's pretty much too late and she's really screwed

And out of battle? She likes looking at pretty things, is easily distracted, and tends to spend more money than she really has to spend And has a sweets addiction. Literally. She gets grouchy after too long without any.

Also, I certainly don't mind if she gets the crap beaten out of her or if she dies or anything. I certainly have a habit of being cruel enough to my characters (if you saw any of my RPs I participate in, you'd probably think I hate my characters).

Haha, I totally detect a sudden flood of everyone coming in to protest their characters' flawedness.

This is why I didn't go with my other idea, which was my Dervish/Mesmer couple - Ebia is too much of a leader (also, I didn't want to get greedy and ask for TWO characters in the comic, since they come as a package deal). Jiyu I figure is more into doing whatever it takes to keep herself and her tiger fed and to stay "out" - whether that be fighting with some mercenaries, running odd jobs for merchants, or living off the land for a year. Note that she and that tiger are inseperable, mostly because she's more or less harmless and often helpless without him (terrible with a bow, never really mastered the spirits, and she's so emotionally connected to him that the loss would be devastating).

Also, she has no future - right now I've got her written up for dying of unknown causes alone in the wilderness in a few years, whoop-de-doo.

Character Name: Katherine Salmatori
Age: 27
Birthplace: Kaineng Center
Comrade or Villain?: Neutral Comrade (Teacher Profession. =3 )

Screenshots: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7884/gw006c.jpg

Body shape and facial features besides screenshots (since GW doesnt allow much variety): 5'4" Tall. Slender body. Not much else I can think of that isnt shown by the picture. (without being naughty lewd about it. =P)

short background-story: Born and raised in Kaineng Center, Katherine had it fairly rough growing up getting into trouble often. Though upon reaching high school age she started to gather her focus after seeing the dedication her teachers showed trying to get her and the rest of the students back on track in their lives. At this point she decided that she wanted to be a teacher. Katherine had always been smart for her age, perhaps a little too smart, but when she focused on her studies she excelled and was soon the top of her class. "Shaping the minds of our youth, this is what I want to be known for."

Why I want him/her in comic: Good stories could always use a nice teacher character be it in the past or present. (maybe the good guys and bad guys went to the same school in the past with her as a teacher who knows.) =3

Soundtrack/theme: Van Halen: Hot for Teacher (lol) or more seriously Tsuki to Hoshi to A-ta-shi from the Gurren Lagann Sountrack ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9GcSvBev-c )
