Description

< UPDATE >
I have finished the drawing of him. This is the best quality photo I could take. Sadly, he's too big for the scanner, being very close to life-sized and on a very large drawing pad does eliminate scanning, I've noticed.

I'm very pleased with this, and I'm sure there are areas that aren't that wonderful, but I'm very happy. Feel free to comment on anything you think it needs.
< /UPDATE >

So, here's Aldric. He's a new character, only used once, lightly developed, and finally drawn. I'm still working out his past and his setting, but this is him. I do know this much: he is severely inbred.

Here is the description of him from f-list.

A twisted-looking little man, Aldric hides his gentle nature behind layers of bitterness.

Abandoned at a military university as a baby, he was full of deformities. He had weak lungs, one leg was shorter than the other and had an extra knee just above the normal one. His muscles formed over both of his knees, eliminating that leg's ability to bend properly. He is smaller than all of the other men he's met, a mere four feet tall. His muscles are tough from strenuous training. Buck teeth dominate his thin-lipped mouth, located over a cleft chin and between his under-defined cheekbones. His ears are long, pointed, and slightly wider than they should be, with limp, burgundy hair hanging around the protruding tips. His single eye is green, and the other is stitched over diagonally. He has a prominent brow that casts his eye and part of his stitches into shadow. His face is covered in scars, and there are a few bald spots on his head from several fits of madness. Aldric's mad fits are not uncommon when he feels abandoned and helplessly alone, and he pulls at his hair or claws at his face. During times he is extremely scared or angry, he lashes out at others, trying to strangle them with his leather-gloved hands. He wears his gloves to hide the discoloration on his hands.

A dozen or more health problems plague him, and his life expectancy is almost up. He's come to accept this as matter of course. In any roleplay in which he is married or in a similar relationship (domestic partnership, etc.), he will push for adopting a child, in order to give a child who is alone in the world someone who will love them.

He is very wealthy, thanks to his jobs, but lives modestly in the suburbs or an apartment, saving up most of his income towards leaving whoever he names heir with enough resources. He has a very big life insurance policy, as well, and both a regular will and a living will. Aldric accepts death as something that cannot be stopped, and spends his days trying to prevent others from dying young by giving the military troops with whom he tags along for intelligence or vehicular missions.

Aldric works as an unofficial adviser for the military, usually going along on missions a loved one might be involved with as a reporter, writing down all that is encountered, in order to help the officers with their reports. Aldric has another job as a lawyer, with experience in divorce, lawsuits, criminal court, and a few high-profile cases.

Aldric is best played with in a modern, advanced modern, or science fiction setting. A medieval fantasy could be possible, if an idea that is presented interests me.


Yes, it's a messy description, and geared towards finding roleplay, but it describes a bit about him.

This was my first time using actual pencils in a long time, and I'm quite pleased with the result.
