Oh my! Well, since I still have not managed to get my characters drawn (patiently waiting in Espadon's queue, all other artists cancelled before getting to my commish), I'll enter. Also because this seems like a nice gray area comic and I've really liked it so far. So here goes (figured the Ranger was the best one for the job):

Name: Jiyū Sakurai
Profession: R/Rt BM
Age: Born 19th Suzhen 1561 CC (79th day of Scion, 1051 AE) - age 21 at the time of the Plague
Birthplace: a flat in Kaineng City
Comrade or Villain?: comrade, though she's not "good" per se; kind of Chaotic Neutral, I'd guess
General attitude: Serious, tough, a bit cold with strangers, but cool-tempered, with an underlying streak of gallows humor and a love for tigers.
Gods: She's not an atheist (hard to be when the gods constantly meddle in world affairs, haha), but she's perfectly happy minding her own business and letting them mind theirs.
Appearance:

Variations from references: Not much; she's perhaps a bit leaner than ingame and she is NEVER that clean-looking - soot and dirt have a tendency to stick, especially in the fur she likes to wear. Also, forgot to include a reference, but she uses a Ritualist staff (usually Communing), not a bow.
Background (first person, because it better reflects her personality - and no, the accent is not vital; it's just fun to write):
"I was born in Kaineng, though I guess that's not saying much. M'father's a failed dye trader, m'mother's an artisan. Lived in the slum, same's every other real Canthan kid on the continent. They always wanted me to do something else, though, get out of that dump. Guess that's why they named me Freedom. S'pose that's what everyone wanted, really, to get out - but we got lucky. Sort of. Got an aunt 'n' uncle, living out on the edge, in Sunjiang. They've got some money, not enough to get out but enough to live well's you can in a ten-by-ten. Their fool kid Arisa got herself kicked out of Shing Jea, broke their hearts, ran away to join the stinking Am Fah. They figured she'd ruined their shot, been shamed, lost their chance for one of them to get out. So when m'parents asked if I could move in wi'them, they figured they'd got another chance at getting it right. I was twelve, then. Crowded there, but we were close to the valley, 'n' I'd take off, run 'round in the grass, scare 'em half dead. Was the first time in my life I'd seen plants, REAL plants, not those stupid scrawny weed things that'd pop up in the planks back home. And the tigers! Oh, I saw those great orange cats 'n' right then I knew what I'd do when I got out. Packed me off to Shing Jea a few months back. Trained up, found Yuki, 'n' here I am now. Guess I'm real lucky - I'm finally out."
Why she should be in the comic: To me, at least, the comic seems fitting for characters that don't live in the black and white. Jiyu's mainly about survival, about keeping Yuki fed and staying alive. She's also got a strong hit of wanderlust, probably connected to being penned up in that little flat for so long. She'll work for anyone, so'long's she doesn't know of anything they're doing that's plain-and-clear wrong. So I could definitely see her as a mercenary (with Reyla, mayhap?), or perhaps working for the baddies if she doesn't know it.

character name: Terry Tzu (Ztu?)
age: 9001
birthplace: Norwa- Uh. I mean Kaineng. Yeah.
comrade or villain?: Both
profession: Artist/Murderer [...A/Mu I guess? Let's say A/Mo]
screenshots:
metaphorical:
and
physical:
body shape etc: She's like... purdy and uhm... has a joker smile.

Special Powers: Morph ball. And eye lasers.
short background-story: So once upon a time, Tzutzu went on a picnic with a polar bear. However, she fell into a hole and was stuck in a stasis cell left by some goddamned litterer. 8984 years later, she got woken up by the nuclear war going around near her hole. Seeing the massive death and destruction-ness around her, she went insane and now skips around ripping out people's intestines with her bare hands. Years went by and she was eventually caught by the galactic federation of spoon dealers (the de facto government body at the time), and was sentenced to being sent back to her own time.

why I want him/her in comic: Would make comic less boring D:

</troll>

Ooohoo must do as well

character name: Eryn Shadowbane
age: old (but still looks quite tasty)
birthplace: Istan
comrade or villain?: ??!? could potentially be both, depending on whether you catch her on a good or bad day. she's the type that unceremoniously knocks you out of a tight spot but won't take your thanks and then grumpily stomps off again

screenshots: (*^.^*)
www.eryn.weebly.com - plus u know how she looks leik, right?

short background-story:
uhm... www.eryn.weebly.com - plus I think u know that one too

Why she should be in the comic?

Soundtrack: Hammerfall - Hallowed be my name

Time to RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO myself out!

character name: William Knight
age: 38
birthplace: Ascalon
comrade or villain?: Villain
profession: Ranger Mercenary
screenshots:

Body shape/facial features: Tall, lean, never makes eye contact, qQuite scarred, stubble, hides most of his face behind a mask.
Powers: Adept with a blade and with the bow, always carries his bow carved into the shape of Melandru. He can hit an apple on a tree from 300 yards with a single arrow.
Backstory: Forced out of ascalon by the searing he and his best friend Hobo moved to Cantha, taken in by Elder Rhea he formed a band of Legionaries known as the Blue Blades with himself at the head. One day his guild hall mysteriously burnt down, leaving half of his legion missing or dead, including his lifelong friend Hobo. He was forced to take a job in the Luxon armada patrolling the borders between Luxon and Kurzick lands.

One day, on a routine patrol through Saltspray Beach he happened upon a Kurzick Warband sacking a small village. To his horror, Hobo sat at its head - he had betrayed the Blue Blades, burnt the Hall and all for Kurzick gold. In a fit of rage he broke ranks, and slaughtered all of the Kurzick guards and lodged an arrow firmly in the back of the betrayer's head. Blood soaked and shaking, he stood alone in the center of the village. The luxon villagers cowered away in fear, his comrades had fled from the carnage. He was alone.
On that day the light inside William's heart died. He kills without remorse, he trusts noone, he wears the bloodsoaked armour of his fallen enemy and he and the reformed Blue Blades maraud the border between Kurzick and Luxon lands, robbing and murdering those who cross their path.

Why he should be in the comic: William is an empty vessel, you can make his as bad as they come, a vicious murderer devoid of feeling or conscience or he could be a man without a path waiting to be shown the way, killing out of fear and running from his past - just needing some interaction to make him face his problems.

character name: Your Captain
age: 50
birthplace: Ascalon City
comrade or villain?: Comrade

screenshots:

body shape and facial features: Stoic, short and well built. Born with genetic dwarfism, but compensated by years of rigorous training to hide disproportionate limbs. Face marked with wrinkles from an early age due to constant frowning. Eye was poked out when an arrow backfired.

short background-story: He became a pirate at an early age when his teenage wife fell overboard in a Canthan ship raid. During the assault, he bested the opposing forces' captain through a hammer duel. His devastating hammer gave him the advantage over the other captain's earthshaker, and from then on he became the pirate captain. Many years later, he retired the pirating profession to model for the seaman's yearly marshal calendar. Since he had thrown away his namesake long ago, he was simply denoted as Your Captain.
why I want him/her in comic: Because he is a beast.

LMFAO Blue, that's excellent. XD

It seems I already have a few characters to choose from, that's great! You can wh0re your character(s) as much as you want, it'll only count as a positive thing in my book ^.^ When I've chosen a character we have to discuss him/her and her personality and place in the story anyway, so the more background info I have the better. Just don't write several pages about him/her in this thread, that'll be a little too much... XD

2 more pages + some more info will be added to the first page in 8-14 hours time, I suspect.

that's very funny XD I might use him in a spinoff or sidequest, tho he obviously doesn't have a place in the proper plot.

Hailfall · Aug 27, 2009, 12:53 PM // 12:53

Tzu, they use 'Mate' usually as a thing for both men and women.. so he doesnt assume anything

character name: Incantare Lumotia
age: 22
birthplace: Shing Jea Island
comrade or villain?: Comrade
screenshots:

body shape and facial features besides screenshots (since GW doesnt allow much variety):You can already draw her godlike....so don't worry XD

short background-story:
Once reckless and pompous before the accident, she would help others and 'save the world', but always while thinking she was the backbone of her group. Mesmerizing the enemy before they had a chance to attack was her style, and it had served her well until one day.

While taking on the remnant of antiquities with her guild, the monsters pure rage snapped it out of her spells, and killed a large number of her guild. Stunned by the fact her spells didn't work, she finally snapped out of it and rushed towards the remnant, thrusting her hands into its chest casting a blackout spell, her last resort. While the remnant couldn't do anything with her attached to it, a fellow guild member made the final blow.

Crying for the loss of her friends and trying to remove her hands from the beasts cold chest, she had realized at the last moment, the remnant had cursed her hands to eternal frost, never thawing to their once smooth beautiful nature. Unable to do everyday tasks, she now relies 100% on her magic to do everything. Pouring tea, holding up a book, even holding her rod and chakram in the air.

Her magically ability is off the roof, but her physical abilities has since depleted very much, and now, at the fear of loosing more friends, she refuses to be reckless and pompous.

....or something like that! ^_^
why I want him/her in comic: Because you depicted her perfectly in the picture you drew for me! I don't trust many people with my characters when it comes to fanfiction since I have my own ideas, but I trust you completely!
soundtrack/theme: Oh gawd.....um....I have no idea. If it doesn't have to have lyrics, then its song from Final fantasy 3 final boss, the dissidia version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Sf98K2oR0

Lol sry, not good with the song part.
