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.
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 problem with making a story around social interactions is that pretty much every possible story has already been done to death. And if (as is only too likely) the writer in question writes romance, it’s almost certainly been done better by Heyer.
Adding a little seasoning that way might be OK, but making it central to your story makes it very hard to have a worthwhile story.
Besides, methinks that Adah is still in the grieving process. That should take at least another year, in comic time. Until then, she won’t be much good to anyone. The Kenny Reed reference was well done there.
She most definitely is. I didn’t want to club people over the head with the ‘Kenny Reed’ reference, but I wanted to make it clear what was going on in her head at this point.
Hell, she doesn’t even know what she can do. She doesn’t even know for sure if she has any talents at all.
She and Etain have talked about it, and they both probably think that there is something back there…but who the hell knows what it is. Maybe the only talent she has is immunity to the plague.
If eye plague (cobalt) is medical nano-tech then they should be able to confirm by presence of medical nanites. She is obviously immortal like the rest of them, even if our regular crew doesn’t know that for sure yet. Yes, I know that this is part of a large story arch to reveal Adah.
