Maddox Gates - Water/Lightning Mage
Appearance is based on myself before I got the Insanity II eyebags. Build type isn’t related to anything, it’s just what I’d want if Magic were a thing. Unfortunately though, we live in reality and magic isn’t a thing.
Chuck Grey - Acid Warlock
There’s no particular theming here. I wanted him to be a villain initially, and I picked Acid to push that idea, but I abandoned it. After I got into making OCs and making a fictional world, I thought of him as a scientist studying Magic and all that, but unless a labcoat is added as an accessory, his design is staying the way it is.
Synthia Banks - Earth Conjurer
Same story, but I kept the villain archetype. The only reason I gave her Ink Magic in WoM was because I wanted to try out one of the Magics that was about to be removed, and I gave her Earth when AO released because it was either that or Shadow Magic, which I wanted to save for a Savant.
Cassandra Light - Light/Crystal Paladin
Literally nothing behind her. I made her on a whim, and the only influence to her is that I wanted to try the last Magic build I didn’t have.
Roy Blaze - Shadow/Fire Savant
The stars practically aligned for this one, or whatever. I wanted to make a character as edgy as possible and one with a build similar to one in AA before it broke, with two Magics, a Fighting Style, and Weapons. As for his design, stay with me here, but I actually saw it in a dream I had. It was about something similar to one of those Dragon Ball Z games, but with the camera closer to the player character and locked behind them. What made it better was that he actually had Shadow and Fire Magic, which work the best for edgelord characters out of AA’s source Magics.
Alcazar Aletheia - Wood Savant
Nothing, I just wanted an excuse to try Wood Magic and themed their appearance around it (not like it matters, since its my AS file).
Cordia Dove - Berserker
Again, nothing, not even about her appearance.
Brett Eliasson - Warlord
Same story as my Mage, but grounded in the fact that Magic doesn’t exist IRL.
