oh, the old queue is no longer relevant?

greyf0x_f0x · Feb 15, 2007, 02:20 PM // 14:20

I'd just like to ask people to try and keep chatter in this thread to a minimum. Also, once you've posted a pitch, if you want to change it, simply go back and edit it, rather than reposting it. I imagine that eventually, this thread will become quite crowded, and I'll have to be reading through lots of pages worth of ideas. So the neater the thread is kept, and the better your post is formatted, the more chance I'll have of noticing it when there are 10+ pages to wade through

In terms of the order I complete the commissions in, no it no longer is. However, the simple fact that the people on that list have been waiting for months will mean that any pitch they post will have an extra bit of weight behind it. So I urge anyone who's name was on the list to post their ideas here in this thread. The people who take the effort to post here and take the time to design a pitch, will stand a good chance of getting a picture done sooner than they would in the old system. (For example, there were still 18 people in front of you Lilith, which would mean you likely wouldn't have got a picture for at least 3-4 months, probably longer)

Hey Grey Fox, I would love to have a commission on my ranger soon, I have a whole idea of her ^^ so it isn't hard for me to give you lots of more information than u need

)

Ok here is a start:

Ok, so this is my ranger, Girl from the woods.

Some time ago in the maguuma jungle, a child was born. Both her father and mother were part of the Shining blade group.
The first weeks after the child was born were very peaceful in the maguuma jungle, not only did the white mantles pull back out of the forest, even the centaurs had given the forestrangers some rest (most likely because they had to fight off the trolls).
With loads of tender love and care, the red haired child joyfully started her life off in the woods. Unlike all the other newborn shining blades, she didn't scream out if she didn't get what she wanted, instead, she got it herself. For example, when she was about 8 months old old, her parents gave her some new bitter sort of fruit, like other young humans, she didn't quiet like the bitter taste and wanted the sweet fruit she at the day before. So what she did was the following:
She pointed at the other piece of fruit, simple as that... these were the sort of easy things she came up with at young age, which were very useful for both her and her parents.

The drama started at her age of 1, the white mantles came back into the jungle to get rid of the shining blade for once and for all...
She was left at the falls in the middle of the woods. Her parents got off to fight.
For many years had the Shining Blade waited for this battle. This was to be the final defense before their retreat into the Henge of Denravi. Would they fail to fend off this attack, then they could be surrounded and be burned down in the Henge..
Their army consisted mostly of Archers, for in the jungle, where there isn't that much place to run easily, it is often better to bring a bow.
Early in the evening the White mantles came into the deeper parts of the maguuma forest. This was the time..
Hundreds of Shining blade arrows rained down on the White mantles which fell to the ground in masses. A few more painful rains of steel made the Shining Blades victorious... they thought..

Then the mursaat came.. first the jades, it seemed like they were made of some sort of steel, and hardly took damage from the arrows. Their heavy magical hammers bashed down on the running rangers. Many rangers however were fast enough to flee.. until the mursaat casters came...
Some unknown power possessed these creatures, or they possessed some unknown power, that devastated the Shining blade. It happened in seconds, you felt like u were poisoned, bleeding and burning.... and then u died..a horrible death.

At that time the baby, by then 54 weeks old, became an orphan.

Two days after the battle at the quarrel falls, the baby was found by a spider. At first the spider just came down to look for food, then she noticed the little human being in the corner of the falls.
As she approached the young one, the baby noticed her. As if charmed, the spider bowed down and stepped back, as if to give the baby some room, some safety.

And so it was that the baby could grow off the food left in the secret camp behind the falls, with the help of the spider ofcourse. Trolls, Aloe seeds and scarabs all got caught in the spiders web, while the other spiders bowed down to this small but very deadly black spider.

Smart as the growing girl was, she learned how to crawl very early on. It didn't take her long to notice the spiderwebs all around the place, and she carefully avoided them.
One day she crawled so far, that the spider couldn't hide herself anymore.
At the age of 2 they were actually traveling through the forest.
And so it was that after a few months of crawling,struggling, and a little bit of walking (in the jungle crawling is often more effective than walking when u are so little), that they ended up at the edge of the silverwood forest.

The spider had great trouble keeping up with all the defenses and bringing the food. So she'd have to hunt new food for the girl every day. It was however, impossible to keep a look on both the girl and her victim at the same time. So at some point, the following happened:

As the girl started walking, she walked into some odd being, she had seen them before, when she was young. When she saw them, it was always from a distance, but this time.. it was upclose..

"Hello young girl, what are you doing out of the woods?"
"...." (ok she may be smart, but not smart enough to talk yet)
"Lets get u to safety, there is a big bad spider around here somewhere, I was barely able to avoid her traps."

And so it was that the girl was taken to Ventari's Refuge, for the being was Ventari.

It didn't take Ventari long to notice that the spider wasn't attacking, but defending the girl, as the spider stayed outside the well guarded refuge, bringing food every day.
The girl stayed in this refuge for a couple of years, in which she learned the basics of speech and running. That is what she did most, run, through the forests, the plains, the many places around the refuge. The spider was let into the refuge, as it seemed harsh to Ventari to keep the spider outside.

Now that the girl learned to talk, it was time to give the spider a name, so she asked Ventari for aid.
Ventari was a rather old centaur and knew quiet a lot of stories. To please the younglady, he told her some of the myths of old. In one of those myths there was a warrior named Tyna Thunderfist, she was a swords adept and single handedly fought off a big horde of demons. In the girls eyes, Tyna was the greatest warrior ever. So it seemed fit name the spider Tyna.

Now to name herself, she couldn't come up with something, so again the turned to Ventari. Ventari chuckled, for you can't name yourself, you have to be named by your parents. A deep silence fell...for no one knew who her parents were or wether they still lived. In the end they decided to leave her nameless.

Then, when she was 11, the white mantles came back once again (their victory in the silverwood had gained them land for some time, but eventually nature took their bodies, as the trolls and scarabs ravaged most of the mantle camps)....

.... to be continued...

oh and nice stories, AW-lore, primus, osiris and fallen hunter!

Kayrel · Feb 15, 2007, 03:52 PM // 15:52

I have been waiting for this for a while.

Anyways. I would like a drawing. A complicated one I would say. Of my 4 main characters from my comic. http://malice.halfbreed3.com

Malice, the ritualist..and leader, Glay the mesmer, Mizu the monk and Cabbage the warrior.

I would like a full everything. So I guess it would be 100k + 150k for the other 3 characters. But because its commision and I think it would take a while I will give you a cool 300k if thats ok. And because its 4 characters I think a deposit of 40k seems more realistic. If your ok with this I mean.
And yes, I have all the money at hand, so no; "I almost got it" and such lol.

I would like them all in the same drawing, not one for each one. More like a group portrait. Favorite location would have to be the Jade Sea, just love the fact you can walk on water... or jade whatever and a boat in the background sorta stuck. But if that place doesnt work you can use any location thats in the comics.

There is enough pictures of them with closeups in the comic. They are edited in photoshop with coloring and such (Mizu in particular). There age are in the website along with their personalities, tastes and even secondary proffesions. I think on the site is all the you need to know about them

P.S. I know the character Glay is gay and such, but even though hes gay, nobody in the comic ever really cares he is gay. And I don't really like anything phalic or such..eeww...no. Anyways hope you accept this.

Contact me in game or pm if you wish to talk or such about it.

In-game name: Malice De Caragmah

Primusq · Feb 15, 2007, 07:58 PM // 19:58

I was planning to give you this short background once you reached my place in the line, so i'll just post it now as the pitch.

The name Sir Primus is composed from a chivalric title, Sir, which have passed to him from his father, a son to one of the lower branches of the royal family in Ascalon. His Father's wife was the last sibling from a lord's dynasty in Kryta. When the rest of her family died in a series of mysterious deaths after speaking against the white mantles, she was taken by Sir Primus's father. They couldn’t be together before because of political reasons. Her house was known for a legend about a son of a primeval king who came to Tyria long ago, and founded this house, which brings us to the second part of the name - the nickname Primus for the primeval prince. Before the Searing, Primus tried be admitted into the Ascalon guard. His father died during the Searing, and most of his estate was destroyed. Sir Primus went to fight the Charrs to avenge his father's death. Two years and an ascension later he found himself killing the lich lord and freeing Tyria from the Mursaat. During the period after the lich's demise, he banished the remains of the titans, fought the stone-summits, defeated the darkness that infested the tomb of the primeval kings, killed many soldiers of the Menzies in the service of Balthazar, aided Grenth to regain control in some parts in the underworld. He married a young ranger known as Leona of Denravi, a famous champion of the shining blade, who accompanied him during his journey to kill what remained of the white mantles and later on the lich lord. Afterwards he traveled to Cantha with his wife and Mhenlo, and killed Shiro the following year. During the next two years, he made a huge fortune from the treasures of the dangerous depths of the jade sea, and rebuilt his father's estate in south Ascalon. After this short two-year break, he was called again to save the world, this time to Elona, the land of the golden sun. To make a long story short, he killed Abaddon, and gained the rank of a Spearmarshal in the Sunspears order. He was called shortly after to defend Kormir's rule from the arch-demon Mallyx. Co-operating with the agency of whispers and the Forgottens, he recruited heroes from all of Tyria to crusade into the depths of agony and take out Mallyx and his minions.

The commission I want is of Sir Primus and Leona of Denravi in a fighting position side by side. Primus with his enormous Fellblade and possibly a Gloom shield, and Leona with a big ball hammer (Victo's maul, to be more specific about the story behind the weapon).
If there are no further costs involved, I would like to see Leona's white tiger standing to their foots, jaws open for the pray.
I would like to see some kind of an epic background. A battlefield littered with the corpses of demons and margonites, or something awe inspiring like that.
On the technical side, I would appreciate if its possible to paint in 200-300 dpi, or even 150 (I noticed you paint in 96dpi). I'll add gold if needed.

so, i just reread the OP, and saw the brief part...im thinking i should delete or reduce by like, a lot, everything below this line... *sigh* its just that i got a "little", just a little, carried away...

Little is known about Mesmerizing Lore before she joined the party of Lore the Avenger and company, but they were surprised she had managed to reach yak bend, Lore the Avenger mentions us something he will never forget:

Lore the Avenger: we are looking for one more for our group to reach borlis pass, do you want to come?
Mesmerizing Lore: who me?
Lore TA: yes you
M Lore: alright, I’ll go, with one condition.
LTA: which is…?
ML: answer me this question.
LTA: alright, ask away.
ML: why is that person so short?
LTA: because… he is a dwarf.
ML: A Dwarf… are dwarves always that short?
LTA: yes.
ML: so, that person over there is also a dwarf, right?
LTA: no.
ML: no? Why not? He is small.
LTA: he is a human kid; he will grow more in a few years
ML: ahhhh, I see…
ML: alright I’ll join your party then.
LTA: good, now let’s meet up with the rest of the team, they are waiting…
ML: Awwwww look at that! That woman has a baby. I wonder where babies come from.
LTA: ...

During their adventure through the shiverpeaks, Mesmerizing Lore found what it seemed to be a red iris flower, and she tried to grab it, but it was stuck, so she pulled it with all her strength, but it wasn’t a flower, it was just a bloodied branch, disappointed she threw it against a wall, causing an avalanche, the avalanche that trapped Prince Rurik.

Mesmerizing Lore: that’s it, he is going to kill me once he gets out of under that log.
Lore The Avenger: probably, but if we help him to get out of there fast he won’t kill you… too many times.
Mesmerizing Lore: look there is a kid on that big lovely cute lizard!
Lore TA: that’s no kid, it’s a stone summit dwarf, and we need to rescue him and fast!
Mesmerizing Lore: but if we do, he’ll kill me!... I know! Let’s just run away and say he died in a glorious battle!
Lore TA: I don’t think that’s a good idea…
Mesmerizing Lore: well, that dwarf has killed him already, so….
Lore TA: what?! Damn, we need to run.

Their adventuring went with little problems in the realm of tyria, she learned a bit more about the world around her, but still surprised her group every time she found something new to her… which was almost everything.

But the group knew that behind that naïve way of her, there was no mistake about her power, during combat it would seem that she knew everything, and more than once did she save them from magic users.

While traveling through kryta and where helping the white mantle, she was like a wild beast every time an undead came within sight, she would brutally attack them, as if all trails of innocence of her disappeared, the party would usually stay a little bit behind her every time an undead was sighted, one could even hear the cold necromancer of the group praying to grenth to grant those undead a quick re-death.

When the time to face The Lich arrived, he almost completely destroyed them, but Mesmerizing Lore managed to understand the lich’s power and began to counter every attempt of him to cast a spell, giving enough time for Lore the Avenger to push him back on the bloodstone and kill him.

But before the group was able to take a break, Mhenlo received a letter from his teacher Togo from cantha, the group accepted mhenlo’s request and went there to help him with the problems there.

The trip itself was an adventure, as she almost fell off of the boat on several occasions trying to catch a seagull.

Once there mhenlo met one of his old friends of the monastery, and while he talked to her Mesmerizing walked away unnoticed and reached a poor person that was heavily deformed, Jamie yelled at her to be careful as that was one of the afflicted… poor thing, never stood a chance, if the afflicted had been a warrior, well then, he might have had a chance to land a hit on her, but it was an afflicted elementalist… Mesmerizing Lore’s group had to step in to allow the poor afflicted to die…

Everything went ok, until they reached the echovald forest and house zu heltzer, Erys vasburg proved to be a match to Mesmerizing Lore powers; Erys was faster tan her at interrupting the enemies, and as Erys never said he was targeting the monsters she was attacking, she tended to waste her interrupts.

But in the fight against shiro, Erys wasn’t able to keep up against him, and he managed to nearly kill everyone in the party, everyone but Mesmerizing, she grabbed Lore the Avenger sword and went face to face against him, she wasn’t a match against him when talking about swordplay, but her powers did more than just make it up for it, but eventually shiro was able to knock her unconscious, she doesn’t remember anything that happened after that, but she is glad that her team was able to defeat him without her help.

After the fight, Mesmerizing was going to settle somewhere in the echovald forest, somewhere preferable away from Erys; but fate wasn’t kind with her, and them, as they got approached by Kormir, leader of the Sunspears of Elona, she requested the help of group along with several others.

At the assault at gandara, the captain Mwende was rendered useless due to Mesmerizing skills that she learned during her travels on Cantha, and without Erys anywhere close, she felt a great pressure relieved.
Although things didn’t go well in that battle, the group managed stay together to continue with their efforts against Varesh and Kourna.

During their travel, they reached Vabbi, and the hatred she had for undead it was multiplied by thousands every time she saw a Jahai rat, it was as if she had been possessed by a demon every time she saw one, the necromancer Deadly Lore tells us about one particular incident:

“usually I don’t mind killing small critters, they allow me to raise a minion or two if I feel like it, but with the Jahai rats… dear grenth, it was… shocking… she would tear them from limb to limb, and if she had Lore the elementalist’s fire spells she would even burn the ashes to ashes, I’m sure that not even Grenth would recognize the souls of those rats…wait… now that I remember, we were facing a group of roaring ethers and a fire Djinn, she managed to steal the searing flames from the fire Djinn and then a Jahai rat appeared… I can tell you that no one, not even the ground below that rat wanted to be there, she burned the rat ashes to ashes and the ground was so scorched that it would make the searing of ascalon look like your average summer day,”

Eventually she would tell her friends that her family got killed one day by a huge group of jahai rats, and that she was the sole survivor of her family, and she swore that she would never rest until all the Jahai rats were dead.
It is said that even the cold hearted Deadly Lore shed a tear that night, thought it is unknown whether it was from hearing Mesmerizing Lore sad story… or it was for the pour rat souls that would never reach Grenth’s grasp

Their travels eventually lead them to the sulfur wastelands, and when she learned that she would have to work with the undead Palawa Joko, it felt like the world was going to end in that very moment, she reluctantly accepted to work with him, but she kept an eye on him for whatever thing he tried to do.

Lore the avenger tells mention us this while they were aiding the undead:

“If Abaddon surrounded himself of undead, she could pretty much obliterate him in matter of seconds… I hope he is surrounded by undead, it would be interesting to see, but anyway, while working with the undead army she would stay far away from the group of undead, she wouldn’t join in the fights because she could lose control of herself and… accidentally… kill our… undead allies. In one of those battles she stayed quite behind us, and when we noticed, a big patrol of undead was closing in on her… I tried to warn them… but it was too late, she had seen them… it was just…horrible… they might be evil and undead… but still… they never, NEVER stood a chance against her… the horror… the horror…”

After that we had to take Lore the Avenger to a group of monks, it seemed he had completely forgotten about that incident and remembering it caused him such a shock on him.

Anyway, back to our subject.
After they finally stopped working with the undead, Mesmerizing Lore “old” attitude came back, and when they defeated varesh, to which eyewitness claim that varesh was unable to cast a single spell thanks to Mesmerizing, she was the first to jump into the vortex, some claim that as soon as they landed on the realm of torment she said:

“whoa, that was fun, it was like rolling down the shiverpeaks inside a big snowball… not like I have ever done that mind you.”

As they traveled through the realm of torment, the group eventually faced the lich and Shiro again, the fight was tipped in the favor of the bad guys, but the group thought of a strategy, while Mesmerizing Lore kept the Lich at bay, Lore the Avenger would handle Shiro while the rest of the team summoned the avatars of the gods to help their cause.
Even though Lich and Shiro tried to switch targets to kill them easily, the two of them were able to keep on their tracks, Mesmerizing Lore saving Lore the Avenger from the Lich’s most harmful spells, and Lore the Avenger made sure that no single blade of Shiro was able to touch one thread of Mesmerizing’s expensive dress. Once all the avatars were summoned and they granted the party their aid, the group was able to finally defeat their nemesis.

Finally, in the battle against Abaddon, the struggle was legendary, the group found a way to be able to hurt Abbadon, and so they did, but the evil god had an ace under his sleeve…err… tentacles…or void… well you know what I mean, and before the group was able to launch their final attack on him, he tried to cast a powerful spell that would kill the group, but Mesmerizing was not going to stand idle and let him kill her friends, she began to counter spell Abaddon, in an effort to stop her from stopping his spell, he raised several torment claws around her, trying to force her to either run and break her concentration or die at the moment the two of them finished with their spells.

She didn’t hesitate, she stayed on her spot, ready to die for her friends, and as the time was getting closer, the claws launched their attack against her… but they failed, as her friends, each of them holding one of the claws, and with Lore the Avenger holding two of them, one with his shield, and the other with his body… thanks to the help of her friends, she was able to not only stop Abbadon’s spell, but also bind him to allow her to strike one last time against the evil god, grabbing Lore the Avenger sword before it fell from his hand, she dashed against the struggling god, thrusting it right between his eyes, and finally killing him.

But things weren’t going as planned, and the power and knowledge of the dark god began to escape from his body, she knew she wasn’t strong enough to contain all of that, but thankfully Kormir answered her silent prayer, and jumped into the source, seizing all of it within her body, becoming the new goddess of truth.

While the battle with the dark god was over, the battle for Lore the Avenger life was just beginning, he was seriously wounded, he was kept at a monastery were several monks tended his wounds, Dwayna was kind enough of hearing the monks prayers and allowing the warrior to recover from such fatal wounds, the recovery was not easy nor fast, Mesmerizing Lore stayed at his side until he was able to open his eyes, the first thing she said once he opened them was:

“Don’t worry; I’ll get you a new sword”

Her friends say that the sword shattered upon impact on Abaddon’s head due to the sheer rage when she saw a torment claw going through the body of her friend, others claim that it was the force of love that gave her the strength to end the madness so that she could save the one she loved… and some others… claim that there was a jahai rat on the face of Abaddon…

But we will never learn what really gave her such a strength that allowed her to kill the dark god and shatter a sword that had seen combat for years and was as good as new… at least not until she feels like telling us.

And this is how her story ends, at least for now, as they are still waiting for Lore the Avenger to recover so that they may begin to travel around the world, and gossip goes that one can see Mesmerizing Lore holding Lore the Avenger hand, this may be the beginning of another story.

But that story is neither for this day nor for tomorrow, only time will tell when.

0siris · Feb 16, 2007, 05:12 AM // 05:12

Heyya Grey, I would be really interested in a painting of my Warrior and Ranger.

Here is the first bit of the pitch...hope you like it

Naomi Kindlearrow, Female Ranger, 20 years old. Orphaned at the age of 3. The only thing known about her family is that her father worked as a metalsmith in the crafters corner of Lion's Arch. Nothing but rumors remain as to how he died. Some say he was slain by Galrath, but no solid evidence was ever produced.

Naomi was adopted by a local man by the name of Alton Thorne. She was raised at a small village in which Alton lived until the age of 17. She decided one day to announce that she will be leaving the village to explore the world in hopes of becoming a hero. Her decision was supported by all of the members of the village, and that night they celebrated around the campfire. The following morning she set off west, towards the Maguuma Jungle. Upon walking through the jungle she spotted a camp in which some white mantle savants we performing some kind of ritual. She decided to investigate and moved closer...

Before she knew what happened, a White Mantle Zealot grabbed her by the neck and raised her up to eye level. He drew his sword, and gently ran it across her stomach, eyeballing her. She closed her eyes tightly and sobbed, when out of nowhere she heard a thud. The Zealots grip loosened, and she fell back to the ground. As the zealot fell; first to his knees...then face down in the forest floor, he revealed behind him a large warrior like figure. After a brief discussion the man introduced himself as Torric Icefist.

Torric Icefist, Male Warrior, 22 years old. At the age of thirteen he decided to leave home and pursue his life long dream of becoming the greatest, most experienced warrior in all of Tyria. Home was never a pleasant place to be, as both of his parents were alcoholics and constantly fought over petty things.

His adventures throughout the continent lead him to the Crystal Desert, where he found work collecting griffon wings just outside of Augury Rock. After Kepkhet Marrowfeast and her group settled into the area he decided to look for a different challenge. After a few years working as a farmer in the fissure of woe spider cave he decided that farming was just not satisfying his need for adventure. He decided to embark on a journey to the Maguuma Jungle and explore some of its more spectacular sights. During one of his adventures in the Jungle he spotted a young girl being stalked by a White Mantle Zealot. He approached carefully from behind and watched. As the Zealot snached the girl up and drew his sword...Torric drew his axe, and in a frenzied charge ran up and hacked into the back of his armor. The blow was fatal. As the Zealot fell, Torric immediatedly noticed the face of a beautiful, yet terrified young woman. He offered her a hand to help her up, and reassured her that she would come to no harm.

Torric and Naomi grew to become very good friends, and were almost inseparable. Their adventures took them everywhere on the continent. They eventually became lovers, and lived out their dreams at eachother's side.

That's all I have time for right now, I'll get around to writing a more in detail story a bit later. I hope I capture your interest

If you do choose to accept my commission, I suppose I would order a 100k full character with background.

EDIT: Here goes for a more in depth story...

Born on a corsair ship rolling and tipping at sea, my birth, some would say, has reflected my life. My parents were fleeing from the tyranny of Warmarshal Varesh, who was then as ruthless as she was when I killed her. They had done something petty, something lost in the mists of my memory. Something minor, something that made them flee for their lives. They decided the best place to escape from her influence was Istan. Peaceful yet remote from Kourna, and the presence of the sunspears deterred potential kournan military action. And so they stepped abourd a corsair ship at Dajkah Inlet.

After arriving in Istan, they proceeded to travel (with their newborn) to the remote village in Mehtani Keys. It was here, in this veritable tropical paradise, that I had my upbringing. I was happy as a child. I had all I could ever want, and we all felt safe in the presence of the sunspears. It could not last. Now, in all my experience, I can see all too clearly that all good things must come to an end. Varesh discovered our location. The Istani leaders, fearing the imposing Kournan military, handed my parents to them. They were executed before my eyes. I, having commited no crime against kourna, was cruelly left to fend for myself in the world. I was 9 years old.

No child should have to suffer such a blow. No child deserves to be left alone. And so my hatred for the Kournans was born. I drew into myself. The other children distanced themselves from me, and this served me fine. I turned to the five true gods for solace. Dwayna was my companion, Grenth my master, Balthazar my trainer, Lyssa my mentor, Melandru my solace. When I turned 20 years of age I joined the sacred dervish order. It seemed to me that it was the best way to serve the gods. It seemed to me the best way to get revenge against my sworn enemy.

I worked every day to improve my scythe skills. I spent hours learning the spells that I needed. I never removed my hood while in company, and rarely even while alone. I took comfort in the solitude it provided. I needed no human contact. I worked best while alone. I took a new name. I was to be anonymous. I had to strike fear into the hearts to my enemies. Memoria messor. Remember the Reaper. A reminder of their mortality for my enemies.

When the chance came, I took it. I joined the sunspears. This proved a wise choice. I got the chance I needed. When the sunspears went to war with kourna, the thought of killing varesh filled my mind. Revenge. However, even this hatred was overcome by my anger at her worship of that worthless demon abaddon. How dare she turn her back on the five true gods! How dare she! It was unthinkable, unspeakable. I knew she had to die for her sins.

You now know the rest of the story. I feel fulfilled that I have avenged the death of my parents, and that I have destroyed the false god. However, there is more to do. More that would defy the five true gods. My work is never done. Upholding what is true and right. Always on the move, where my duties take me. Always on the hunt...

Ok, thats it. Hope you like it

And I know that that latin bit is most likely wrong, I used an online translater. It's just for the effect :P

tortugan · Feb 16, 2007, 04:24 PM // 16:24

EDIT: from tomorrow(friday) till sunday(not upcoming but the one beyond that) I'll be away, on a nice holiday. Just IF I get picked that my place won't be given to someone else because of no responce:P

I'll also go for the 100K one(full body+background)

ok as promised here is my pitch:

No one knows who he really is, except his closest friends. Only a few things are known about him, and he plans on keeping it that way. So far, everyone who told his story died quickly afterwards in painful ways. Yet we gathered some information about him:

Name: Ferahgo Blackblade
Gender: Male
Profession: Assassin
Titles: Legendary Survivor, Protector of Cantha, Protector of Elona
Armor: a combo: arms/feet Vabbi, mask/chest/legs Ancient
Daggers: Jade Daggers, Steel Daggers(tho I need new ones), probably Dragon Scythes
Most Beloved Location: Vabbi(Kodash bazaar, The mirror of Lyss with the floating waterfalls)
Most beloved enemies: Margonites, Sandstorm Crag(I just love their looks, so they're on my N1 list^^.)

Age: around 23
Character birthplace: The southern end of Kaineng, on the big island near a Temple of Lyssa and the weapon smiths.
Family ties: son of assassins, whom names are unknown.(They had an involvement with Shiro at a certain time.)
Marital Status: Unmarried
Place of residence: unknown, it is thought that that's around Vabbi in one of the many caves there.
Personality Traits: He likes a challenge, he's cheerful at times, silent during an attack, quick and stealthy(he can take off your ring without you noticing it!)
Fears: DVDF Mesmers

Ferahgo was born in the southern parts of Kaineng, near a temple of Lyssa and the weaponsmiths. He was raised by a follower of Lyssa who got money using the ways of her goddess. Everyday Ferahgo went to the weaponsmiths to try and steal weapons and once a week he'd go to the Temple of Lyssa, or atleast that's what his caretaker thought. Instead he went to the harbors to see fights between sailors. Eventually, his caretaker found out about it and personally escorted him to the Temple. He became a follower of Lyssa, but didn't follow the normal ways of Her will. He became skilled at using daggers and using Lyssa's deceipt to get things his way. To this day we do not know why he decided to do that, nor do we know who his Master was.

He started practicing with his daggers, which he always painted black. No one knew why and he merely said: it's for the poisoning factor of the daggers(he probably used something like charcoal to infect a wound, to make the job even more painful and deadlier). After a while he became known as Ferahgo Blackblade, he who uses black daggers. They became his traitmark, feared throughout the city.

One day, when I was young, I heard about Ferahgo Blackblade and that he was going to fight against one of the Am Fah chiefs. I was very excited and wanted to see that, so I slipped away during class and went to the fight. When I arrived the fight was about to begin and woah, he was a beast! He stood before his opponent and said: "I make this promise, you will not be alive 15 seconds after we started this battle!" I was shocked by that sentence, because no man had ever beaten an Am Fah chief before, and he said he'd do it in 15 seconds!
The match began, Ferahgo grabs his daggers en starts taunting the Am Fah Chief. He furiously starts chanting a spell, to let meteors drop from the sky! All of a sudden Ferahgo dissapeared and the Chief stopped casting, wondering where his opponent was. He starts laughing and called Ferahgo a coward! Then, suddenly, he stops laughing. His eyes become big and a little bit of blood starts flowing out of his mouth. He raises his hands to his chest and we see a dagger sticking out of there. Then he falls and dies. Ferahgo appears again, quickly grabs his dagger and dissapears. Every Am Fah there starts shouting and are longing for Ferahgo's blood. But no one, not even other Am Fah chiefs found him, and if they did, it would already be too late...

After a few years he became known as a survivor, because he was never beaten in a fight. He eventually left the city to try and defeat the great bosses of Cantha and gain their mark, an elite trait. And so he bested 100 bosses, and a spirit of the mists appeared and kneeled before him with these words: “You, Ferahgo, are invited to join us at the Hall of Heroes after you passed away, for you truly are a Legendary Survivor who's skills are legendary! You bested Shiro, twice, and even defeated the almighty god Abaddon!”

Here are some shots of my character + landscape ideas

EDIT: hm.. I can only upload 5 shots>.<, I got about 5 others....

EDIT2: I decided to expand my story a bit^^

I'm going to be honest with everyone here, I'm no great creative person to write 2 pages worth of stuff about my character, I'd be hard pressed to come up with even one, but I'll give it my best shot. I'm after a 100k full pic btw.

Favoured Weapon: Firey Sunspear of Shelter.
Titles: None. Yet.
Hates: Warriors with egos bigger than the monk's energy pool.
Loves: Reading and learning.

Moderamen Flamma was orphaned at the age of 10 when a band of corsairs raided her villiage and killed her parents while she was playing in some nearby caverns. She is an avid reader, with a great interest in history. She loves nothing more than to sit down on one of the many piles of cushions in the Chokhin Library with a good book to learn more about the founding of Elona and the arrival of her ancestors from a land across the Great Ocean. Her name, in the native tongue of her ancestors, means "Guiding Light", which is what she aspires to be, a great leader of heroes, bringing light to areas in which darkness reigns supreme.

She has recently had her sixteenth birthday, but as yet, she has found few people that attract her. She is desperate to express her newfound sexuality, but without a partner to interact with, she often explores her own body to relieve some of her barely controllable urges.

Although she is still young, her skills in combat are unmatched by any but the most experienced adventurers. Calling orders, giving encouragement, all while ruthlessly slaying all who threaten the lives of her friends. This will no doubt prove helpful while she works to achieve her goals. She has great ambition and even more curiosity, so it's only natural that she wants to visit every possible area in the world, broadening her horizons and learning more about other cultures and freeing those that are oppressed in all the known lands.

Well, that's about the best I have.

I can add another 50k if that makes this seem any more attractive...
