<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto"><div>While I think it's a cool idea to do family pictures of the Sutt household, the Hassan household, or the Matthias household, part of my aim here was to have characters drawn together who might not otherwise have an opportunity to do so, as well as to illustrate the characters who have made great impact on the universe, or are currently active.</div><div><br></div><div>My ideas would be more along the lines of:</div><div><br></div><div>Key (current) characters: Thomas in the center, flanked by Charles, a little stone visible on his form, Misha, possibly with Madog, Drift (perhaps with Carcarack hidden in shadow between a couple of characters), Malger, and probably Dupre, due to his upcoming relevance.</div><div><br></div><div>Couples: Thomas and Alberta in the center, with him holding her close and smiling tenderly, then flanked to either side of them have Misha with Caroline and Charles with Kimberly and company. From there we could also add Malger with Misanthe, Rickkter with Kayla, Jessica with Weyden, or Murikeer and Kozaithy. Since several of these couples come from common creators, we might be forced to play favorites.</div><div><br></div><div>Key NPCs: (A bit complicated since, by definition, no one owns them). Thomas, Copernicus, Coe, George, Andwyn, Donnie...</div><div><br></div><div>Warriors: Misha, Charles, Rickkter, Wolfram, George, Lois...</div><div><br></div><div>Mages: Jessica, Nestorius, Xavier, Rickkter, Murikeer...</div><div><br></div><div>Villains: Loriod, Nasoj (possibly fulfilling the "evil overlooker" trope by being just a tight-focussed pair of eyes in the background), the Marquis, a Lutin shaman, a Druzhina...</div><div><br></div><div>Duel pics: Provided authors were all right with potential minor spoilers, have an individual character paired in a battle situation with their nemesis. Again complicated by both characters being owned by the same person, but we could get some things like: James vs Zagrosek (LTOY), Carcarack vs Revonos (FWtBT), Misha vs the keep commander (forget the story), etc.</div><div><br></div><div>One last thing I've batted around doing for my own characters is "ghost of the past" pics. With the focus on a single Cursed character, have their Pre-Curse form, looking somewhat illusionary, standing to the side, either watching them or mimicking the pose of their post-Curse form.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, no, it isn't likely we'll be able to do any large number of these quickly, so we would have to choose our priorities. Still, doing a variety of them gives us an opportunity to give the universe some added cohesion.</div><div><br></div><div>-LurkingWolf</div><div><br>On Sep 4, 2014, at 12:50, Ryx <<a href="mailto:sundansyr@yahoo.com">sundansyr@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:bookman old style, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div><span>Too many - the scene would get massively overcrowded rather quickly.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Better: Thomas, Artela, & their children (perhaps).
