A request for a new Character by Setie;

Riorden Delmon is a taller man who has the face one expects to find on rogues and scoundrels; not on jedi. His hair is a shaggy mane of dark brown that he has taken to pulling into a stubby tail with age as it grays. His gray eyes were often seen as cold when he was younger but now seem more like a brooding storm.

He often wears a long brown coat instead of robes to better blend in with the locals, a habit he picked up from being a spy (sentinel). He also always wears high necks shirts to hide a burn scar from a lightsaber burn that cuts across his throat.

One notable thing he now carries on him is a datapad modified to speak for him. Since cybernetic implants would weaken his force sensitivity Riorden opted to carry the pad permanently chained to his belt. He usually tries sign language first and prefers telepathy; he is however smart enough to know that people might not know, or like those two methods of communication, hence the datapad.

One notable thing he now carries on him that he didn't when he was young is a datapad modified to speak for him. Since cybernetic implants would weaken his force sensitivity Riorden opted to carry the pad permanently chained to his belt; next to his bronze double bladed saber. He usually tries sign language first and prefers telepathy; he is however smart enough to know that people might not know, or like those two methods of communication, hence the datapad.

Personality wise Riorden comes off as cold to a lot of people. In reality is is reserved and does not trust easily, costs of being a spy during the war. He had also lost much in life, namely both his best friends and his true love, which leads him to be very cautious about who he allows to matter. Many in the Order think that only his loyalty and duty to the Jedi Order keep him from committing suicide, and worry that he might go seeking revenge if he ever finds the sith responsible for matters.

I drew up a bunch of sketches for this guy and these were the two I couldn't decide between. Let me know which one you think I should colour, or if you think there's something I've missed that means I need to try again.
Actually, he kinda reminds me of of Auron, from Final Fantasy X - anyone else get that?

I thought I detected something video-game-y about this character! I was thinking Street Fighter for some reason though... definitely digging the tall collar, Mercy.

He looks so mean...PERFECT! XD

Gotta love the grumpy old men. An amusing note one of the tunes I play for writing this guy is Auron's Theme. I must have channeled some of that into him. XD

I'd love another shot of like him with his saber out. I though I put that in his description but if you copied and pasted that I much have not been entirely paying attention. My bad! ^_^;

Oh crap! Its that guy from Final Fantasy X.
Auren or something like that?

Amazing work as is the norm Mercy.

Mercy

Wicked!!
Glad you all like him so much!

I'll have a go of him with a saber - any ideas about setting or anything, Setie? Just to make it a bit more interesting?
In the meantime I'll post this one up to gallery.

Purcell - funny you should say that!
