Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Dana McAllen is a member of the urban exploration association that is currently investigating remnants of the worlds previous civilization. She initially made her debut in the Tunnelrunners side comic. She has been Ian's closest friend since early childhood, and is still his closest confidant.
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. )
Dumuzi: What we know: Long lived. First wave immortal. Male. Who fits:
Ekur, possibly Rebbe Alter, Iovantucarus, and Thorongil Caladharis. If Dumuzi can change sex, then: Ishara and Lady of the Lake.
Based on the story to date, these seem to be the candidates that fit.
Dumuzi = Unknown in the equation. From what I can tell from the story so far, he’s been floating around in the background entirely. Just tweaking things here and there to ensure that the people that are needed to fix things are around and in a position to actually fix them.
If I had to take a guess as to “Who” he actually is, I would say outright that we have not actually seen him yet. He’s likely using a similar form of what Bellisarius used to push people into doing things to nudge his little chess pieces into position. Prof. Gage is likely merely the most common recipient of his nudges, likely due to the professors natural intelligence (Likely reminds Dumuzi of himself a few thousand years ago).

Or maybe Dumuzi has a piece in all of them?
