[QUOTE="malcolm_n, post: 5181633, member: 63154"] * IMPORTANT NOTE* I'm open to seeing other interpretations in case anybody wants to post theirs. Some time ago, I started a project called Character Concepts. The only remaining character I have from that project is Kratos from the God of War series. So, I'm reviving said project and adding some new characters (in addition to updating old favorites and reposting them). Here's the breakdown. In each character concept, I strive to make the character both legal, and playable from levels 1 through 26. Since in all cases the character fluff is taken care of for me, I can focus on the crunch. That said, sometimes you'll see characters that aren't a particular race or class that you'd expect. This is because, after the extensive research I put in, I feel this is the best way I can present the character without losing something crucial over the long run. All in all, it's a fun project that I set aside and I'm now coming back with a fresher mindset and some new options. Here are my completed characters, Guyvers 1 and 3.
