Simeon is playing Saturn, Ananke's husband, who works for the goddess of Time, who is dying. (Oh, Shadowtext, you cut up, that's not what he meant by time passing) She has heard that her servant Saturn's wife is pregnant, and has convinced him to let her pass her powers on to his unborn child. Saturn's nervous about the whole thing, but who doesn't want his child to be a god?

The assignment I'm currently working on for my art class is to show time passing. I'm doing a comic....the medium's just inherently suited to it.

But I'm low on time, so I decided that instead of using original characters, I would just let Simeon and Alyson (and one other person, who I haven't decided on yet....might end up being Will) "play the parts" as though they're acting in a play.

It worked for Osamu Tezuka

I've switched from DM to PC in the D&D game I've been playing the last few months. I just rolled up my character this week, and I decided to draw her out.

Freedom Akta, a Tiefling Warlord. She fights using charisma and bold gambits to lead her team to victory. In theory.

I did Halloran, the goblin merchant at the same time. At the time the story starts, Halloran has been living under a bridge and neither eating or drinking anything, other than scotch made from old socks and dead rats. (Goblin ingenuity knows no bounds)

Before his recent troubles he was a respected businessman, known for his skill at keeping inventories and knowing what his customers would want. He resents the Merchants' Guild and blames them for his recent troubles. When Will offers him a job at Anything Under the Sky, he jumps at it after finding out they're not members of the Guild.

So I guess I took the summer off or something. I dunno, just haven't really been doing much that I felt like posting. School's starting back soon, and I'm getting back into the groove....I'm going to try to pull off my Directed Study project this turn if I can, and I'm getting geared up.

I'm not sure if I'll do Hurricane Simeon, because I'm seriously considering doing Anything Under the Sky instead. To that end: some character designs. First up, Anders the Dryad.

Anders is one of the clerks for the store that Will scouts out. She's noted for being charming, but can't really branch out (pun....oh, who am I kidding, totally intended) because she's magically tied to her tree.
