Man, I'd love to see that...
Assuming you know what a warforged looks like normally.....
Instead of dark gray metal for adamantine armor it is darkest red with runes that when looked at seem to move and twist on their own like dancing snakes and demons. The "wood" is dark red with lots of texture and rough looking....almost thorny. All the metal has small spikes on them. Along the shoulderrs, arms and outside of the lower legs are larger blade-like thorns. The head has no recognizable jaw. It is dark red like the "wooden underbody" giving it a slight skull appearance. Large serated cleaver of dark color.
and when it wants to, it can take to the air for short bursts. When this happens flames seem to form a shape of a demonic bat around it.
I'm really playing up the Khyber / demon effect for this.
I may have the Carrion clan (human barbarians that worship the fiends of the Demon Wastes) bow and respect these two more than the Thrashk and Cannith "employer".
Whisper is another scary guy. It is an assassin Demon that possesses other persons. When this happens, one eye is light green and the other light blue. He will be John Play's reoccuring villian. A real sadistic bastard whom enjoyed the war and now needs to find a new hobby.... havoc is looking good to him now...and tormenting Play.
John Play himself is neat. His father was a King's Shield and best friend to the Breland King. When he died saving the king he asked to have his son employed in the government (meaning a Shield) and thus became a Dark Lantern due to his many skills. Continuing his honor of the father, when the war was over, John asked to leave the Lanterns and the request was given. TOTALLY unheard of and makes the Dark Lantern leaders nervous and suspicious. His mother was a Breland Wand whom was working on a means to make it that Breland was not so dependant on Cannith for Warforged. She was working on magic means to make a better soldier. She experimented on herself and thought she had no success. In truth, she and the father had just concieved John and HE got the powers.
He also has an Aberrant Dragonmark (not shown as of yet) where he can boost his already impressive speed and agility. This will come out when I have a story involving a aberrant dragonmark carrying killer whom is trying to kill of the Houses.
I am soooooo absorbed in this character and his stories I just have the time to do it all. It's been 2 months just to do the characters for the first story arc and develop the backgrounds.
One of these nights when the net is slower I'll try to scan and post an image or two.
