World Remade

So who are you going to be wandering post-apocalyptic Solest with? Let's find out!

Rustek Konne - A kobold on a religious pilgrimage that is interrupted by the Rain of Fire. After seeing the chaos and destruction, completing his journey becomes much more important to him. He is old by the standards of his race and somewhat slow to adjust to the new world he's now living in, but he is a genuinely noble, faithful person who values fairness and community. He worries about his family, but knows he's trapped until they find a ship. As a paladin, he uses Holy spells and fights with the classic sword and shield combo.

Taraja - A young human who relishes the chance to start over that the Rain of Fire provides. Something of an outcast in her hometown, she took advantage of the chaos to escape and has forsaken her last name in order to make it harder to connect her to her roots. She is brave and highly intelligent but prone to insensitivity and know-it-all-ism. A promising dark mage, she has chosen the shadow mage specialization and when she must fight physically, she uses daggers.

Sesilida - A female dragoon, which is a race that resembles humans but has horns and wings. They are extinct post-Clean Slate, but that's not where we are so we're gonna take advantage of that. She is a deadly warrior and lethal with a spear but has a serene, playful temperament. A skilled blacksmith, she also goes against expectations and uses ice magic rather than fire.

Rohan Turnbull - A hulking minotaur who pillaged the seas as a pirate until the Rain of Fire reduced his ship to splinters. This is not noble Galdar the minotaur, this guy is a scoundrel with freewheeling morality that doesn't sit will with Rustek. But in a new world with unfamiliar geography, his knowledge of ships and sailing is a major asset. He is a fire mage but we haven't decided on his weapon yet. Something cool and heavy.

Lena Maywood - A lightning mage and summoner who was exiled from the elven city of Rellenia for her radical approach to magic. Since then, she has made progress with her goal of learning more about the rare, strange art of summoning, but suffered a major setback when the Rain of Fire destroyed much of her historical documents and research. She has had to become tough after centuries out in the wild and enemies who underestimate her will be rewarded with a heavy blow from her mace. Her long elven lifespan makes her a mentor for the rest of the party and a valuable source of knowledge.

Arowana - A female lodite whose colony was flooded during the chaos caused by the Rain of Fire. Though unable to speak the common language of Solest, she displays high intelligence and somehow learned wind mages whereas most lodites learn water magic. This twist baffles the other party members quite a bit. Arowana has no need for traditional weapons in combat, relying more on her teeth and claws.

???? - A human with extensive combat training. Those who have paid close attention to past Solest games will recognize him when he appears. (And no, it's not Stoic, but he was active during this time so perhaps he'll show up as well...) This character uses earth magic and a two-handed sword.

Enkur's done some early sketches for some of these characters. We'll post some more when he's made more progress! Until then, what do you guys think?
