Seeing is Believing, sometimes.

This is something fun to share. One of our KTDA players has a bit of an artistic bent. He--his name's Anthony--offered to try & draw a depiction of any of our game characters. A few people took him up on it, and you're seeing the results here.  As much as KTDA is a mental and word-based game, it's fun to imagine what our characters look like in our city setting. And in case you're interested...

The character at top-left is RIO. He's a pretty dastardly guy at times but he's also our Fort River Power Czar. He figured out a way to get the old water-wheel cranking that brought electricity back to the city. He's got kind of a rep with the ladies--not exactly a good one. In other words, this guy is definitely a work-in-progress.

Top-right is LLYSANDER (which is also one of Anthony's personal characters). Llysander is a conflicted man, in search of a missing sister and desperately wanting relationships and ties but not quite trusting them.
The girl is MAGGIE. Maggie's got a troubled past that includes slavery & a little sister who was lost to dire misfortune. She works at "Home" and is trying desperately to believe in a brighter future. It looked like Maggie & Llysander might hook up...then Llysander went missing. Maggie doesn't have the best of luck with guys, for sure.

The guy at bottom-right is BALTHAZAR. Balthazar recently left Fort River with some of his friends. He made quite an impression while he was in town...and it looked like he might be developing an eye for our own Arianna of the Misfits. Hopefully we'll find out one day how that might end.

We each paint our own pictures in our minds. Still, it's fun to get an image of how someone sees their own character. Makes them seem somehow more...real?

Enjoy!
