Your art is better than mine because it actually has character. Clearly, this must be fixed!

Everyone, please give a paragraph or so of backstory, motivations, and personality. Drawing interesting scenes will be easier if, say, a scholar stares in awe at a shelf full of ancient books, an archeologist bends over to examine wall engravings, while the former soldier steps protectively between his preoccupied companions and the glowing red eyes at the other end of the room. Otherwise I might as well be copy-pasting the PCs, which would just be boring and not a very useful learning experience. (This might have minor game play effects - Someone here for books of ancient lore would likely grab a book on an otherwise empty shelf and look through it if it appears perfectly safe, for example.)

Oh, and the artifact was supposed to be a cube with a single large piece of crystal sticking out of each side. Future scenes with small yet interesting stuff will have a zoomed in view.

Spoiler: Relictus (click to show/hide)

 
 Relictus is a Witch-Slayer, which is to say he hunts openly dangerous or "chaotic evil" demons, power-hungry sorcerers and assorted entities. Although he has been on that field only for a couple of years, he already got a good amount of experience when dealing with the supernatural and is able to identify magic and evil influences as well as a small assortment of possible traps and ambushes. His acrobatic skills as well as his marksmanship and melee combat abilities are still in development, but due to his wits and cunning, he is able to defeat enemies more powerful than him even as a "rookie".

 He prefers to remain quiet most of time, aside from trying to attract as little attention as possible while dual-wielding flintlock weapons and walking around fully clothed in black. When talking, he always sounds calm and at ease, as well as usually humorous. The mischievous smile he sports is almost eternal, and he prefers to keep his face obscured to avoid identification in case he has to don a disguise. Although he constantly deals with magic-crazed creatures, or maybe exactly because of that, he has no interest in learning spells nor any kind of sorcery, for he only trusts his own body and the mundane weapons he wields.

 Due to being an adventuring witch-slayer without ties to any organization, he is shunned upon by some members of the more orthodox monster-hunting groups, such as the paladins and military branches of the church. On the other side, he is also respected by some individuals within those same organizations due to his ability in quickly dealing with otherwordly menaces. One of the most well-known cases attached to Relictus' figure was an attack by a small group of female demons he was able to hold off and finally banish without firing a single round, according to the inhabitants of the nearby village. When asked what he did to destroy the unholy scum, Relictus answered "I used diplomacy until they got tired." pressed into detailing the encounter further, he completed while grinning even more than usual: "I used great amounts of diplomacy".

 Obviously not the best tale to be told about him.

Done editing.

I love these updates thus far.

On another note from Irony's picture: Relictus has ice cream?

I also couldn't understand what exactly was that.

[Talarion]

Hrm, I've just read through this, and I must say, interested am I. Yet, I have no skill whatsoever at computer-generated art, and my hand-drawings are novice at best, and never very clean. So I guess I'll post to watch, for now. By the way, nice art everybody

[NightS]

Come on, Talarion, you just have to make a shitty paint picture like i did BTW, i am quite busy today, so tomorrow i will have that written.

[Nirur Torir]

((Yeah, there's no minimal skill level. That'd be hypocritical, and creative interpretations add excitement when I can't figure out what's going on.

Is anyone else going to do anything while IronyOwl spends an hour studying funny cyan squiggles?))

[Caellath]

((I don't think so. I'm absorbed in another project at the moment and Relictus would wait for him while examining the room itself because walking around alone is stupid.))

[NightS]

((Same as relictus, i'll wait. Let the guy have fun.))

[Caellath]

((Edited Relictus' background and corrected some mistakes. Also, I loved the way IronyOwl The Demon runs. A pro runner indeed.))

[Virex]

Someone said there were still slots open here?

[IronyOwl]

Hoho, interesting.

This also reminds me that I need to get that paragraph.

[Nirur Torir]

An ifrit pyromancer/alchemist? I guess it works, but, since there was no magic in the world for six centuries, he'd be trapped in a lamp until the other PCs are railroaded into finding him.

To keep you balanced with everyone else, you still start with five mundane items, and I have no clue what the yellow crescent is supposed to be.

[Virex]

Just ceremonial headgear. I mean, I wouldn't want to appear before decent folks stark naked, now would I?
