Characters

Main Characters
All the main characters that are featured in the story are based off of Eck's personal close group of friends, hereafter refered to as The Crew. The diverse personalities of his friends created a divirse group of characters for his story. One exception being Iris Selkan, who basis is actually that of various "ladyfriends" Eck has. The characters often display the characteristic qualities of the person they were based on, such as Gael's (Thom Franzen) penchant for greeting people with often needless volume, or Solomon's (Tony Galbier) penchant for eating and/or being hungry at all times. Even most of the physical descriptions of the main characters are often direct descriptions of his the Crew member that the character is based off of, with some exceptions like Elijah Wright, whose character is green skinned, or Phillip Hatfield, whose character has large black eyes. The one exception to the rule is Duren, who, although is not based off anyone, is still a main character because of the role he plays as the major villian.

Lesser Characters
The lesser characters are based off of people Eck only casually knows, or is not part of The Crew. They also include the so-called "stock characters" Eck feels need to be in an RPG? Fantasy story in order for it to be even remotely worthwhile. An example of a lesser character of the first type is Titiana Cagerce, who although is a good friend of Eck's, is not part of The Crew, but is still important to the story. An example of the other type is Icarus Godfried, who is not based on anyone, and plays a small part in the first part of Forlorn.
