First: When threatened by cold-like infections, my first recourse is to change my diet. After years of practice, I've reached the point where raw onion sandwiches are dull, chilli sauce goes with anything (especially noodles), and pepper spray is likely to cause mild discomfort. It also helps my health no end, as it kills infections much faster than it kills tastebuds.
Second: I'd be interested to see a quick rendition of the following sample character from my homebrew setting/system, who is quite unusual (if less so than my current party).
Dulcii is a tainted androgyne assassin. I'll have to break that down: tainted means Dulcii's blood runs with a shadow-demon taint, and grants all sorts of shadow-related abilities, including stealth and teleporting through shadows. Androgyne is a race, with empathic/telepathic abilities, and where both males and females look the same (closer to female than male, but not quite either). Many, including Dulcii, have no hair (right down to eyebrows), and they are all slim, graceful creatures who enjoy looking good and being friendly. Assassin, in this case, involves a religious order devoted to hunting demons (ironically); loose robes are the order of the day. Dulcii's weapons are twin cinemae, a weapon similar to the scimitar, but with the handle positioned opposite the curve on the back of the blade itself (if you want to, you can throw in an electric arc pistol as a holdout weapon). Dulcii is not evil, and in fact is kinda optimistically dumb and naive, but has an excess of visual style and self-esteem.
I'm quite impressed with the art I've seen so far, and felt like throwing in something of a challenge just to see what happens! Cheers, get well soon!
