One of these things is bound to pop up eventually, in any RP community. What inspired your characters? Was it a character, a film, a book?

Also, what actor would you imagine playing your character?

I'll Start.

Quel

His main inspiration is Clint Eastwood's 'The Man With No Name.'

With a little dash of Snake Pliskin.

And Faust, I suppose. You really can't forget Faust.

Considering that Clint Eastwood and Kurt Russel now look like this:

And this:

I'd go for some younger talent to play him on the siver screen. . . and I think this fellow does the best contemporary rendition of the 'Man With No Name'/Sanjuro:

Josh Hartnett. . . mainly for that deep, smokey voice.

Current Characters
-Quel of Ashenshield: Thoroughly mercenary. . . and still not a hobo.
-'Desmond Jericho': That would be telling, now wouldn't it?
-Maluth Scalechanger: He does eat gnolls.

Personal Quote: "God is love, but God's love is like the cold winter wind that bites and penetrates and shakes and frightens and kills."

Trailfoot Builder That... person. With that thing. I am the Game. You can't play me.

Sadly, I can't find a picture of him, though, so I'll just throw y'all a red mage.

Oris Ornev Oarson

The main inspiration behind his backstory is the 'Tale of the Black Freighter' sub-comic from Alan Moore's 'Watchmen,' with a dash of Dr. Manhattan's narration scheme thrown in. As for his actual character. . . well, that would be telling a secret, wouldn't it XD.

Honestly, his personality is a bit like Keleis Shiltberger, Quel's ancestor, although there's no relation there. Purely accidental.

Current Characters
-Quel of Ashenshield: Thoroughly mercenary. . . and still not a hobo.
-'Desmond Jericho': That would be telling, now wouldn't it?
-Maluth Scalechanger: He does eat gnolls.

I... really don't have any inspiration for Carmella, Zeke or Meepo.

Well wait... Yes. Meier Link. From Bloodlust? I think he is awesome. And he is why i wanted to play a vampire... Though all I could get is dhampyr... but it works.

Current Characters:
The Pale Songstress: Played by the ravishing Carmella Snow

The Redscaled Crusader:Played by the undeniable Meepo Pots

The Dragon Kissed: Played by the up and coming star Ezekial Jonas!

As far as actor...no idea actually.
