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. )
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.
Has anyone considered that between the house issues and that other guys manipulations that their quiet and covert preparation may be the tipping point?
Doesn’t matter if they have considered this or not. They have to prepare. The other side already opened fire (the plague outbreak in Delusarnan Territory, the destruction of Amonson-Lancaster City, the plague in Starfall). If Ian’s group say “Let them have what they’ve already taken, perhaps they’ll be satisfied”, then they will die. It didn’t work in Europe (Germany was NOT satisfied with taking Austria and the Sudetenland). It didn’t work in England (there’s even a saying, “Who pays Danegeld, never gets rid of the Dane!”).
It’s probable that they’ve already passed the tipping point – and that it’s an accumulation of small unconnected events. Think of the Quantum Butterfly.
