[QUOTE="Belzamus, post: 4422803, member: 61612"] Oh, and another thing, U_K, that might throw a monkey wrench in the plans. Byron's stories are nowhere near finished. He has 6 albums full of sagas published, but he's quoted saying that he has matieral prepared for at least another 6 more plus a slew of graphic novels and short story anthologies. I've pretty much scoured every single one of his stories to glean enough info to form a coherent backstory for these characters, and even then, I've had to extrapolate some it on my own, associating certain entities and events that are only arguably related. Even if you went with no flavor, relying on the existing canon, it also presents a problem in statting them up, in the instance of finding them thematically-appropriate abilities and classes. Plus, after the Shadow-King, no one has anywhere near the ideal amount of iconic artifacts, or really any at all. I'm sure it can be done, it just requires some creative input from the designer. Of course, with all the awesomeness you have locked away in your head, maybe you have more than the ability to do them justice. For instance, I'm having a hard time thinking of how to stat the "Unspeakable They-Who-Lurk-And-Breed-In-Limbo" and the "Dread Dwellers in Eternal Shadow" without having seen your Umbrals to use at least for bague comparison. (I can't be the only one who sees an affinity between Byron's Z'Xulth, the Outer Darkness, and the Black Galaxy and your own 0th Dimension of Entropy.) Just throwing that out there. Right now, I'm having a ball statting up my favorite iconics from the sagas, even if it takes some interpretation on my part. I just hope I'm doing somewhat right by Byron's vision. [/QUOTE]
