Welcome to Gaia! ::

First off, I will state I did not draw these pictures. My lovely wife did. Here is her deviant art account if anyone is interested.

Most of her recent stuff is stuff I asked her to draw for me though, heh.

Anywhoo, I started this thread to post pictures of my original characters and express my thoughts on them. Just a way for people to get know them a little better if interested. I hope everyone at least enjoys the art. I'm going to post the original pictures so they may be kinda big and if I stretch the page I'm sorry. sweatdrop

I have several interesting sketches of Lilith, but unfortunately only one finished picture. Lilith is one of my newer characters. She was originally my very first Pathfinder character, a changeling fighter. In Pathfinder, changelings are the offspring of hags (a kind of evil monster), that are left with a human family to be raised and then called away at adulthood to be transformed into a hag themselves. Changelings have pale skin, dark hair, heterochromia and are spookily beautiful.

When I adapted her for a 4e D&D game, she became human but with demonic blood. When I transferred her to FEF, her original backstory stayed pretty much intact. Lilith isn't human, at least not completely. I just haven't figured out how to express that yet in a way that would make sense for Fire Emblem. Perhaps she could be the offspring of some nefarious malevolent entity, like the Avatar from Awakening is.

I originally picked the name Lilith before realizing all the religious and pop culture references to it. I just thought it sounded pretty. sweatdrop Unfortunately, it's stuck with the character now and I can't change it. Lilith is more comfortable in armor than a dress and is happiest when she is training or fighting. Due to bullying incidents when she was a child, she is very standoffish with people. She also knows she's not very bright and is afraid of being judged for that as well. However, if one can get past her aloof attitude, it becomes apparent she is quite the caring individual and goes out of her way to help others. She especially hates bullies and will often seek out and defend those that no one else would help.

Thanks, she always enjoys receiving compliments. The morph idea is interesting, though it appears they are formed as full fledged adults, where Lilith is found as a baby. Still, might be a good angle to take. Definitely provides for some interesting story development.

Never said that it was a perfect solution, just something that might interest since it fits roughly the same area as the original design.

Pathfinder is full of weird nonsense.

Potential Future Characters

So I have two character slots left and a whole slew of characters I could potentially adapt to this guild. The key is finding ones that fit well into the FEF World/game system and don't overlap in personality or class with characters I am already playing. Most of my recent characters I have created are of the monster girl variety and thus don't fit very well with FEF. However, there is a ghost of mine I've been strongly thinking about.



Mitzka is another one of my older characters. In her original story, she was the daughter of a wealthy noble family that controlled its lands through cruelty and terror. Though her parents were evil, Mitzka was not. She fell in love with Dresden, son of the head gardener of the family estate. Though they did their best to keep their relationship secret, her parents eventually found out and tortured the boy to within an inch of his life, forcing Mitzka to watch. After releasing Dresden, they made it clear they would kill him if they ever caught them together again.

This did not stop the young lovers, however. They hatched a plan to rally the people and cause a revolution to overthrow Miztka's parents. However, things did not go as planned. Such was the anger of the townsfolk at her parents' callous rule that they conspired to murder the entire family. When the uprising took place Dresden desperately tried to defend his love, but was slain in action and Mitzka herself was hung from a large tree beside the manor. A curse fell over the land after that, and the ghost of Mitzka would appear each night to murder those who led to her and Dresden's death.

Eventually her spirit was put to rest and the curse lifted, but that is a whole other story. My original thought for Fire Emblem was "Wow, her design looks a lot like a Revenant. I could totally play her as an undead that has somehow managed to retain her consciousness." But I shelved that idea in favor of playing Kira.

If I do play her, though, she would be a Troubadour/Mage/Pegasus Knight. In her original undead form, she had invisible claws that would tear people to ribbons, which doesn't work here, so I had to go with what her skills were in life. Painting, violin, etiquette, ballroom dancing, diplomacy... uh, a little bit of fire magic. Mitzka was every bit the aristocrat so she is no fighter. Magic is the only way for me to really go with her and I felt Troubadour captured her noble aspect.

Oh, here is how she looked in life.



I guess I could always play her as her living self, but where's the fun in that? She also had a brother, Kail, the only surviving Aráethos. He was kept secret and hidden away as a baby when the rest of the family was murdered. He plays an important role in the second part of the story where they put Mitzka to rest.


With the addition of the Summoner Skill, I thought about perhaps playing Kail with Mitzka as his Phantom. However he is every bit the mage and though his personality is different from Kira's, his play style in the boardgame would be exactly the same. I'd prefer to play Mitzka as a standalone character, anyways. One more parting picture!


Kail with his wife, Petra--a Valentine's gift from my wife. As the story closed, they went on to have 5 kids and restore the honor to the Aráethos name.

Your wife has a really good sense of light and mass in the way she colors things! I really like it.

(Also, you might wanna fix the title, it's Kowsauni's art corner instead of Kowasuni's.)

Well, then that's my fault for somehow misreading your username as Kowasuni this entire time. :y

She kinda looks like someone dragged her out of bed for that picture and she's not happy about it. :v I like it.
