My friends & I started up a 4e game a little while back, & I was struck with inspiration to redraw a panel from an older manga but with our characters instead. If you know the manga the pose is from, then you’re a real one. 😳

Legendary Paladin Kartaelin Nasan

Kartaelin Nasan is a storied High Elf paladin, well known for his role in the Battle of Three Kingdoms.  He is an expert strategist, an excellent warrior and a master craftsman.  For a time he'd taken on the role of training many young warriors in the paladins guild, but for the last century he returned his focus to his favored craft, blacksmithing.  The guilds often asked him to return to teaching which he declined, though he would often return as a guest lecturer.  This is how he first met Sarovanya.  The young elf was brazen and often on his trainers nerves, but Kartaelin could see greatness in him and offered to take him on as an apprentice, to the chagrin of the warriors guild leader.  Sarovanya accepted the offer and the two became fast friends in spite of the age difference. --- Romancing Dorian with this hottie in Dragon Age Inquisition right now.  Too bad I can’t give him his goatee in game.  :(  I should render them together.

Ok, we know about Turkash and his momma, but does Ülkan have any family? Bc I have this image of a sister in my head chasing Turkash around on campus like "no dating my brother!" and Turkash is too busy running for his life to correct her

!!!!! Okay so, since Ülkan was originally my boyfriend @artistsammuelkuykendall ‘s character whom he gave to me, I asked for his input and here’s what we came up with.

Ülkan has a younger brother named Taelin. Taelin is half storm giant, so he’s eleven feet tall, which makes finding clothing really difficult, and finding a functional chest binder even more so. So what do you do?

Well, if you’re Taelin, you say “fuck this” and start learning how to make your own clothing. They start pretty simple: muslin and mesh binders, grey linen tunics, whatever dyes he could afford on a meager wage in the Underdark. But he gets good, and people start asking him to make clothes, and they’re willing to pay. He’s able to afford better dye in more colors, blues and purples, and he can experiment more with different patterns. He gets better and better, selling clothes at the marketplace, until he makes enough money to move himself and Ülkan above ground.

The modest fortune Taelin had made in the Underdark paled in comparison to the fame he found above ground. He makes enough for a storefront, and then a fashion line. He makes enough to send his big brother to college.

When he visits Ülkan at Epsilon Tau, he watches him stop his excited bound towards him to flip off Turkash, who had been dancing on the Sigma lawn wearing a pride flag as a cape. He watched Turkash wave and flip the bird back, and watched his brother resume the running start he’d taken for this tackle hug, and thought, “Oh, this is going to be hilarious.”

The next day, he “accidentally” walked to the wrong house and was met by a very helpful Turkash. (“No, I totally get it. It’s a super easy mistake to make, except the Epsilon house is trash.”) That’s when he starts working with the Epsilons to get them together.
