My hero is Tylo- the idea being he is a child, he's powerful, and he's somehow a remnant of what once was, or what is often missed- something that contrasts with a sci-fi society that is maybe somehow lost in all the technology. My theme is sci-fi, but as you can see from the monk references I want some idea of a spirituality, mysticism, or mythology maybe in the midst of a arid environment with touches of cyberpunk. Perhaps a loner little monk in the desert who is a powerful force when needed. His over all theme for me is simplicity. Why he's alone, who knows. I am not sure I want to reveal that myself.
I'm still working on details, I am largely trying to visualize or figure out the impression in my head. I am having particular difficulty with deciding what I want for a weapon. I kind of want it to be like a staff, but at the same time I am still trying to work out how it may be connected to or charged by the pack on his back.
Maybe I'll give him a cute fluffy sidekick/pet... maybe a fox bat thing with a mechanical wing.. maybe Tylo saved it and built the wing- for a monk he's rather tech savvy.
These are some initial sketches and my favorites references so far.
I found out about this challenge a bit late- and I am about to move, but this hero popped into my head right away so I want to try to visualize him.
I'd looooooove critique/suggestions!
