[QUOTE="Shadowdancer, post: 807483, member: 515"] My show would be semi-episodic. A group of people on a quest, searching for a man, sort of like "The Fugitive." Except this man is an evil necromancer who killed a family member or relative of all of the protagonists. There would be six protagonists, a classic adventuring band: two fighters, one cleric, one sorcerer, one rogue and one bard. One of the fighters could be a ranger. They would be a mix of humans, elves and half-elves. They travel around looking for the necromancer. In some episodes, they fight him and his minions. Others, they just fight his minions. Some they just get into other adventures while on his trail or seeking information about him and his whereabouts. The protagonist would be really evil. A Joseph Mengella/Vlad the Impaler type. He tortures his victims while conducting horrific experiments on them. This wouldn't have to be shown, could take place off camera, just some good descriptions from other characters, let the viewers' imagination do the rest. The necromancer has been at this a long time. From some of his victims, he steals their life essence to make potions of longevity. Some of the elves pursuing him have been after him for more than a century. The cast would be relative unknowns. Probably lots of young, classically trained British actors who are attractive, athletic and can act. Each character would have a distinctive weapon and/or fighting style or move as a trademark. One of the fighters would fight with an axe. The other, if a ranger, would fight with two swords. If not, an elven bowmaster. The cleric would use the weapon of his/her deity, but probably a mace. The sorcerer, a quarterstaff. The bard, throwing knives. The rogue would be the elven bowmaster if there was already a ranger; if not, he/she would fight with two daggers, or a sword and dagger.
