I don't really base my characters off people too much. I dunno. I use names but not really personalities. Like Artea I took from Lufia for name, but the character has nothing to do with Artea from Lufia.

Aerick is basically myself in a more naive and awkward sense. With the glasses on he even looks like me. Its kind of scary."For here, apart, dwells one whose hands have wrought/ Strange eidola that chill the world with fear:
Whose graven runes in tomes of dread have taught/ What things beyond the star gulfs lurk and leer.
Dark Lord of Averoigne- whose windows stare/ On pits of dream no other gaze could bare!"
-H.P. Lovecraft

Cazen was meant to be a mixture Lupin III (for the ingenious, but rash plans), various fictional accounts of John "Doc" Holliday (for being a scoundrel gentleman that lets his mouth get him into trouble), and Robin Hood (for the lovable thief motif). Sometimes, I nailed that persona...other times, not so much.
Deacon Saetric was a mixture of various forms of The Joker, with less emphasis on the clever insanity and more on the senseless brutality.
I don't think I had a pop-culture or literary reference point for Vaster. He's just an uneducated, mostly-beastial Malarite.Active

It's really no wonder why we get along so wellOriginally posted by Machiavelli View PostPeri and his cigars! XD
Malaclypse's creation and development have had a number of weird influences over time; The Principia Discordia, V (moreso the comic than the film character), Taoism, Anarchist and Libertarian thought, Absurdist animal liberationism (if there is such a thing), Bugs Bunny, and circuses.
Plu was born of an idea someone had ( Chiantago I believe ) , make a tribe of feral halflings. I also like the idea of a person torn between two worlds, in this case two classes that had very different axis. The Blood Spirit ( Malar) and the Cold Spirit ( Auril). I spent a bit of time thinking how that would actually affect someone and Plu was my answer. I can safely say he is my favorite char on Sundren and while the Wolf Tribe may have faded out, it was a great idea that I will continue to evolve. It's also quite possible I simply like making my own language
I'd like to think anyone that reads the fantastic write-up ( IMHO the perfect write up for a Prestige Class, giving you all you need )on the Nature's Warrior class in the Wiki understands where I'm coming from with him, after all that was his orgin while Auril was his future.

I'd have to say that Adeodatus was based off Monk, according to Aerick. Because of his obsessive compulsive behavior.
And his excessive politeness probably resembles the guy from American Psycho pretty well.Lauan - knight of Thay " I have no fear, and death is merely an inconvenience to me. I do not die until ordered to do so, I do not fall until every last bit of life has left me. I stand tall, proud, a Thayan knight."
Adeodatus Exitium - "Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart, for his purity, by definition, is unassailable." — James Baldwin

Somebody once told me that Varsick was Dick Dastardly. That made me smile.
I really don't know if I had anybody in mind when making him. He is sort of a "villain's assistant" type. Like a wormtongue or a wormtail gone religious fanatic assassin.
After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.

Elandra: wanted someone who was kind, does not discriminate and a bit clueless about life in general. “More fool that hardy” was what I built her on. Her bios was made later and caused me to tweak her a bit to fit, but I am good with that.
Yodglum: thought it would be funny having a hin monk (dam you Umogian for stealing my thunder!). He was inspired but Yoda if you could not tell.Elandra: A former Red Blade, now roams the wilderness with the Lone wolf as her guide
Alexandra: Ever faithful (just shy of a Zealot)
Yodglum: May Kossuth's flame light your way and burn those in it!
Ash: Dusty old miner of still looking for the "mother load" on Exigo's stag
Shaving kittens: not an official sport, but fun just the same

kyle rendell was inspired by the king of swords, harlakh doroaver. a mercenary who rules the realm of the ready sword wirh his sword, making it possible for cavarans to travel safely.
also by lingwu chong, a character from a chinese novel. a swordsman who lost all his kungfu skills and ki energy. in a world ruled by powerful martial artists and their ki powers, lingwu chong defeats them all with nothing but his swordsmanship.
also dugu qiubai, another character from the same chinese novel. said to have wandered the world searching for a challenge. defeated everyone, and all the heroes and villians under heaven bow down to him. realising that no one is a match for him, he died a loney death. his name literally means lonely begs for defeat."Thanks is best given in the form of gold." -Kyle Rendell

I had a halfling monk (female - my only female). despite the damage die downgrade they are very high AC and incredibly hard wearing. I based mine on eowyn from lord of the rings.Originally posted by nezzerscape View PostElandra: wanted someone who was kind, does not discriminate and a bit clueless about life in general. “More fool that hardy” was what I built her on.

My next character is going to be a gnome bard; Tom bombadill was such an awesome guy
