Message: <blockquote data-quote="SanjMerchant" data-source="post: 7162388" data-attributes="member: 6860001">A fair bit darker than I imagined, but otherwise that's quite a close match!  I think because I know so many Indian-white hybrids, myself included, that it's sort of a go-to for not-quite-Indian.  (And, for the record, I meant Indian as in rajas and Bollywood and my father's ancestors, not the people my white American mother's ancestors trampled to Manifest our Destiny.)True.  I guess I imagined him as being standoffish by default, but able to turn on the charm when he wanted to.  I kinda forgot about the scarring, though, even before getting to the part of the plot where they were healed, as well as never being quite sure just how big the word "LIAR" was.  Like, did the letters go down onto his nose and cheeks or was it just his forehead or what?And the award for Casual Yet Blatant Racism goes to... SanjMerchant!  Seriously, I remember at some point figuring out I was wrong about this and correcting my mental image only to have forgotten about it and reverted to my initial impression.  (Where's a good "derp" emoji when you need one?)Yeah, that's about where I get to once I remember that I'm not reading about that little speedster from the Bug Apocalypse story.Huh.  Never figured East Asian (much less specifically Japanese).  I also pictured taller than the rest of the cast (with the possible exceptions of Conquo and Uriel), to further emphasize just how lean he is.Interesting!  I don't think I pictured Mal in robes at all; I pictured something roughly like Tolkein is often pictured wearing, but perhaps taken backwards a few decades in style.  Pants, at any rate.That's because Rumdoom has literally turned into a cartoon character in my head since coming back from Drakr.  Like, really, really exaggerated, and with more than just a few extra pounds beyond the fellow in that picture.Ah, the ever elusive high-end Kickstarter rewards.  :sigh:</blockquote>
