Re: Another Black Phoenix
Here is the 2nd one. I could not decide between the two.

Re: Another Black Phoenix
This is a post by Bandar Lover that he posted on the Beowulf thread. I moved it over here.
"Xietor asked me to post this so I guess I will. Here is my background story for an angel hero for Pythium:
While the Pantokrator ruled, contact between mortals and angels was prohibited. However, during Pythium's violent split with Ermor, one angel forsook his place and came to Pythium's aid in their darkest time of need. Despite Pythium's reverence of angels - or because of it - the angel was struck mute by the Pantokrator and his name taken away from him. Even after the Pantokrator's sudden disappearance, Nameless wanders the mortal realm still. Legend holds that he will always come to Pythium's aid, regardless of the cost to himself."

Re: Another Black Phoenix
EDIT: Attachment doesn't work!
While your pictures aren't something that could be used in the game straigth away, the silhouette-like look gave me an idea. Attached are three different versions of a phoenix. They are named as blackphoenix.tga and blackphoenix2.tga, blackphoenix_aflame.tga and blackphoenix_alfame2.tga, and blackphoenix_flames.tga and blackphoenix_flames2.tga. The first pair is just a recolored version of Harpy Queen hero of Pangaea, in the second and third there are flames made from Djinni (of the lamp) and a Fire Elemental behind the same sprite. All first sprites consist of just a shadow, while all second sprites are colored as if flaming, but in the exact form of the shadow of the first sprite.
While I made these in pairs, they could be used independently of each other, or combined in various different ways. Say, blackphoenix.tga and blackphoenix_aflame.tga, so that the Black Phoenix is always a shadow, but sometimes surrounded by blazing flames seeming to come from the ground.

Re: Another Black Phoenix
The attachment doesn't seem to work Endo - as in I can't download it at all. Is it just me?

Re: Another Black Phoenix
Must be something wrong with the forums. Gandalf had the same trouble in another thread. Maybe their disk is full.

Re: Another Black Phoenix
Since there is no viable way to give each hero a unique name,
Heroes will have variable names, and will have to be manually renamed at the start of the game.

T\'ien Chi possibilities
Jomon - blind swordsman -
T'ien Chi - Fang Gang - One armed swordsman - starting affliction - lost one arm (way to make it perm, a la no chalice?). 4 misc slots, flying, holy 2
Premise: After his servant father is killed protecting their master, Fang Gang is raised by the master as a son and trained in swordsmanship. When the master's daughter chops of his right arm in a thoughtless fit of anger, Fang retreats to recover and learn a new one-armed style of swordplay. He then returns to rescue his master in his greatest hour of need.
http://www.kungfucinema.com/reviews/...dswordsman.htm
master = god? daughter = priestess?
T'ien Chi - 4 mages
Lo Pan - mandarin, undead, immortal, cursed, not flying, old age, H2 A2 E2 F2 B1
Thunder - straw hat, immortal, flying, H2, A3 E3, standard slots
Lightning - straw hat, immortal, flying, H2, A3 F3, standard slots
Rain - straw hat, flying, immortal, H2, A3 W3, standard slots
a la BTiLC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tro...n_Little_China
Centuries ago, Lo Pan, a great warrior, was defeated in battle by the First Sovereign Emperor, Qin Shi Huang. The Emperor placed upon Lo Pan the curse of No Flesh. Although Lo Pan can be temporarily granted a decrepit body by supplication to the gods, in order to permanently break the curse and regain his human form he must marry a woman with green eyes, who must also be a daughter of a holy man (a fact not explicitly explored in the movie). Simply marrying her will please the God of the East; but to satisfy the Emperor, he must sacrifice her. Lo Pan is served by a ruthless street gang, the Wing Kong, and the Three Storms – three mystical henchmen named Thunder, Lightning and Rain.

Re: T\'ien Chi possibilities
Actually...in the movie, Lo Pan inquires about her father, stating "your father, he must have been a holy man!" This is not to say that her father being a holy man was a *requirement*, only that Lo Pan was wondering about her parentage-which would be a typical attitude of someone of royal caste in his time.
