Every good story needs a good tailor & haberdasher, right? Right?

Gestalt, educator on the Shape of Consciousness, and of Reality.

Thanks to Miss Merrick Monroe for her concept suggestion. And for taking care of me while I’m sick.

Feeling better today, but not 100%. Will update all posts with more text this week. I hope. :/

Sick. Too sick to think about backstory. Will edit later, when the sickness has left. Blargh…

#5 – The Effigy

| November 5, 2010 | 1 Comment

Ages ago, it was a mere statue that stood outside the walls of the academy, beyond the confines of the township, and further out than what was considered to be “the outlying areas”. Over the decades, no generation ever laid claim to erecting it nor who may have done so. In fact no one could even remember who it was an image of, complicated by the years of erosion leaving the head of the statue featureless.

All that remained in the collective memory of the township was that the statue represented someone to be reviled. So year after year, on the same day in the early winter, the populace would travel to the effigy, light fires in the nearby pits, and spew forth their revulsion, their anger, and their hate upon the effigy, as they had done for as long as they could remember.

Until the year the effigy, imbued with the hatred from thousands of hearts, stepped down from its pedestal, and began its search for its true history. And none would stand in its way.

Still have more to flesh out, backstory-wise. But this seemed an appropriate character to create for Guy Fawkes’ Day.

#4 – The Detention Master

| November 4, 2010 | 1 Comment

This fantasy realm is taking form with each new character. I know there will be an academy or university or some sort of school-in-a-castle. Which means students. Which will mean troublemakers… because everyone loves troublemakers… which will lead to detention. And detention means spending time with the DETENTION MASTER.

Many thanks to Bobby “Fatboy” Roberts for the name inspiration for this character.

#2 – Bookewyrm

A “sidekick” to The Academic — BOOKEWYRM. Still piecing together what sort of fantasy/sci-fi realm these characters will live in. While I enjoy the fantasy genre, creating characters and a world for them to play in has been outside of my wheelhouse for many years. Figured this challenge was as good a reason as any to dive back in, head first.

#1 – The Academic

| November 2, 2010 | 2 Comments

Going with a quasi-fantasy realm of characters, with a scholastic bent. This is THE ACADEMIC, scholar/sorcerer/teacher/warrior.

Will edit this tomorrow with an actual scan, as my scanner’s out. EDITED.
