The slight build is right. She's actually mixed race African/Indian. Her late father looked rather like the dad from Fresh Prince. Gupta herself is short-haired and not unattractive but not as good-looking as all that. Maybe this: https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5a6618a29093e197586862cf19a5bd12-c
A fair bit darker than I imagined, but otherwise that's quite a close match! I think because I know so many Indian-white hybrids, myself included, that it's sort of a go-to for not-quite-Indian. (And, for the record, I meant Indian as in rajas and Bollywood and my father's ancestors, not the people my white American mother's ancestors trampled to Manifest our Destiny.)
Less aggressive, more suave. A swirling, voluminous black cloak distinguishes him from 'heroic tier' when he wore more fey greens (to advertise his pursuit of adoption by the Vekeshi and the Unseen Court). Back then I didn't have a facial image of Leon because 'tiefling with facial burns' sufficed. But now I realise that he looks rather like a young Charles Dance (with red skin and horns, of course): http://images5.fanpop.com/image/pho...ce-screens-charles-dance-27986936-640-360.jpg
True. I guess I imagined him as being standoffish by default, but able to turn on the charm when he wanted to. I kinda forgot about the scarring, though, even before getting to the part of the plot where they were healed, as well as never being quite sure just how big the word "LIAR" was. Like, did the letters go down onto his nose and cheeks or was it just his forehead or what?
Youre quite far wide of the mark here. Korrigan is black. Black with gold filigree. He might be played in the movie by Idris Elba, but only because he's 'current'. In my head he looks more like Harry Belafonte crossed with Hammerstein. (http://aishaadams.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/54834b6dfd63e4b2a63e76f3547f893f.jpg)
And the award for Casual Yet Blatant Racism goes to... SanjMerchant! Seriously, I remember at some point figuring out I was wrong about this and correcting my mental image only to have forgotten about it and reverted to my initial impression. (Where's a good "derp" emoji when you need one?)
Gremlin with jet-black skin, amber eyes and sharp teeth. With goggles on. And a hat. But he often appears as a small black kid who might be Korrigan's son.
Yeah, that's about where I get to once I remember that I'm not reading about that little speedster from the Bug Apocalypse story.
A bit like this guy - http://i.mdldb.net/cache/9vm/o/jLlKQwD1_32e1f7_m3.jpg - (Kyuzo from Seven samurai) crossed with Daniel Day-Lewis as Hawkeye (for apparel and fighting style). Very long black hair. Quite small in stature.
Huh. Never figured East Asian (much less specifically Japanese). I also pictured taller than the rest of the cast (with the possible exceptions of Conquo and Uriel), to further emphasize just how lean he is.
Uriel was the player's original concept for his deva: very tall (6'6"), robed and cowled, alien. But I wanted to build the 'team' around established story-telling archetypes and we hadn't got our 'sage/mentor' in place. The player began to develop the character to fit that mold and he morphed into Malthusius, a deva who enjoyed feigning the trappings of old age. Malthusius always wore red robes. He smoked a pipe and and a short white beard. Facially a bit like Kelsey Grammar.
Interesting! I don't think I pictured Mal in robes at all; I pictured something roughly like Tolkein is often pictured wearing, but perhaps taken backwards a few decades in style. Pants, at any rate.
BTW - you missed out Rumdoom. He looks a bit like this - http://assets.fightland.com/content...es-bronson/tom-hardy-bronson-333_vice_670.jpg - with a few extra pounds and a tall bowler hat.
That's because Rumdoom has literally turned into a cartoon character in my head since coming back from Drakr. Like, really, really exaggerated, and with more than just a few extra pounds beyond the fellow in that picture.
Me too. I wished I could have got the Kickstarter reward to have Claudio Pozas illustrate them. I'd give my eye teeth for that!
Ah, the ever elusive high-end Kickstarter rewards. :sigh:
