Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
This lady (who chooses to remain nameless) is professional assassin who hails from the city of Naglorond. She does most of her work for private citizens since the end of the House Wars, where she was responsible for the deaths of a number of House personnel.
The handle she is currently using is “Targeter” All that is known about her so far is that she was a child prostitute in Naglorond who killed her way out of the business , and decided to never put her fate in the hands of another ever again.
The car Targeter is picking up is an Aston Martin DBS V12, which is keeping with tradition: her personal car throughout Requiem (and the one that Ian borrows also when he was in the River Crossing Territories) was an old DB5. The only time she is in something different is for one scene where she drives Siobhains Alfa convertible right after her death.
I’m old enough that the 70’s are all too close. I think a two seater with enough space for a room full of luggage and enough power to tow a house off of it’s foundations is just exactly what I want. Unfortunately, my three largish dogs won’t fit in the back. And, of course, money is an issue. All the same …
SLK Series Benz is nice, sort of. Its death knell is that the wife hates it. She much prefers the Ferrari. Of course, we can get them cheaper here in Switzerland 😉
Is that a Maserati?
One of those lives here in Nyon.

One of my fantasy cars. Definitely, one of the drool worthy cars in production today. The last of the classic Grand Tourning autos.
SIGH!!

At least I could afford this one 😉 In the real world, I’d being paying it off in my seventies 🙂
Personally though, I’m a saloon car fan. This http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/05/a-685k-audi-a8-that-will-blow-its-own-doors-off/ will be making an appearance someday, I hope 🙂

Exactly. They’re impractical as hell, but god would they be fun to have 😉
I’m similar to Ken but I like the Ferrari 512M Berlinetta. It’s a four seater and much more refined.
The Berlinetta is pretty cool. The one I’ve really gotten into lately is the AMG 2 seater convertibles. The SLK series.
