Its taking longer than I would like to finalize the other members of the group, but rushing the process could derail book 1 since its the "personal side" of the series, so I'm going to take my time.
I did collage together a preview of the group that can be seen in Homecoming. I -really- like the Orc and the Sorceress, and the scout is pretty close too. My Psion wont use a staff or have tattoos, (or be bald to begin with, Tennant has those huge sideburns) I'm still up in the air on what type of character archetype I want to use for the Wizard (aristocratic and kind of snooty or eccentric and partially wacko), and the Knight needs a full body image makeover.
The end goal is to make each character cool enough, powerful enough, and potentially the "true villain" that the genre of the series wont give away too many of the twists for new readers/viewers. Even though technically Flux is the first book in the series its still ultimately "the sequel" of book 2 as I wrote it first.
If you have any feedback regarding the character designs and archetyping I will gladly accept it.
By the way, thanks to everyone who has followed so far and a pre-emptive thank you to future follows!
Ive been a bundle of nerves for a few years now over trying to actually put this all together in a final packaged form.. Initially it started out as a D&D campaign I ran in college that would become the precursor to Flux and established the universe and the temporal loops, Goliath's inception was even part of the original game, granted his character concept was wildly different then.. That became Imagining a movie scene for a song here and there set in this universe, then all songs all day, then longer segments than a few minutes at a time on and on, its snowballed for almost a decade now.
Bear with me for awhile and ill (hopefully) match the writing quality of the chapters to the quality and quantity of the underlying backstory.
