History: A military hero of the Ursaris Hierarchy for a good 60 years of active service, Bear Paladin & General, Primarch Iracam Thresk is a legend in his own right, with an entire city square centered around his likeness in the Imperial capital of Varencia. A descendant of the noble House of Thresk, he grew up tempered by laws and ritual, but grew with ambition, reaching the rank of Squire by his 16th year, often climbing several castes per year. By his 30th year he was the youngest citizen in recorded history to have achieved the rank of Knight; and stayed there through merit.

Serving the Empire faithfully for many decades alongside his bear-steed and compatriot, Asario, he is one of the extremely few that have achieved the blessing of Emperor Varenios Silveric himself, allowing both to continue to serve ever onward for Glory, Majesty, and Unity. Now a weathered old man by any standard, both Iracam and Asario's hair have paled to pearly white, but in their eyes there are yet not a single gleam of feebleness or age, and they are believed immortal by some of their comrades, chosen by God himself as his avatar amongst the masses.

History: Originally part of the Ursaris Hierarchy Officio Imperialis, Officer 'Socratio' was amongst the most unknown operatives within the hierarchy - to his credit. The men & women of the Officio Imperialis doesn't officially exist. If they die glorious deaths in combat, succeed or fail in their missions, they recieve the same fame and honour regardless. None.

Due to recent changes in policy, 'Socratio' was recently "promoted" to field commander, at the grudgingly acceptance of a number of prominent Generals. Put in command of a regular group of Special Tactics and Reconnaissance, as well as a select group of former comrades, 'Socratio' now leads his group of men & women as a military wing of the Officio Imperialis - unseen, unknown, unbridled. Unrecognized.

It has to do with the HTML.  I find it happens most when I copy-paste from a word proccessor.  I now filter all my posts through textpad to cut down on extra junk.   I also (when its a problem) I actually manually check the HTML, removing anything I don't think I need.

On the second one, I went through the entire thing with the paintbrush in Photoshop, set to Hue, color red. Changing everything blue to red. Then I switched the setting to Color Dodge and added some highlights. I copied the section I wanted (cutting away some of the 'empty' space on either side of his shoulder), pasted into a new window, resized the width to 100px. Copied it into yet another window, this time a set window of 100x115, and adjusted how I wanted him to fit in height.

I then create two more layers. On the top layer, I add a 1px black border just at the edges. Moving inward, I mark the next 'pixel lining' with the Rectangular Marquue Tool, switch to the original layer, and use Color Dodge at approx. 40%. Doing it again on slightly darker areas so that areas that need to be more accentuated to appear do so. Lastly I add a 40-60% transparent black border on the third 'pixel lining'. To give the illusion of another border.

It sounds a lot more convoluted than it is, now that I read it. But I feel that on images such as this, it gives a really good impression, thanks to that 3px wide lining. On the third one I did no recoloring with the Hue setting. I simply added strong Color Dodge in "flashes", using a big (~80px+) paint brush. I don't remember what opacity I used, but usually around 40% is pretty good for Color Dodge, add more if necessary. Added mostly some bronze/orange, a little bit of red, and then I did the resizing and added the border.

On the first one I simply resized and added the border.

And yes, I realise I just pulled this entire thread off topic.

Edit: I found the issue. It actually adds a divide for every time you copy/paste something, for one reason or another. Just remove the <div> tags at the start and end of every post, and it's fixed. Note that the first <div> tag has a bunch of other info in it, I just don't remember what it was. But it starts with <div 100somethingoranother> and ends with </div>. Just scrap it.

Name:  (Doctor) Sukamrin
Race:  Fallen
Hair:  burnt brown (white hairs on sides from age) - frazzeled (literally burnt)
Eye:   Red

Base class:  Scientist/wizard

History:  When the titans of old created the fallen, they had to ensure that intelligence would be present so the best evil scientists were used in the creation of the of the fallen.  They say that Sukarin is ephiphany of those evil scientists.  His creative mind makes him seem almost as unpredictable as normal men, but his evil and twisted mind keeps him as one of the fallen.

Major stats:
perception/intellect
will

minor stats:
strength
toughness

Abilities:
Dark research:  Sukmrin's perception is added to research each turn 
Magical prowess:  Sukmrin is adept at casting basic magic of the types known to the channeler
crazy experimentation:  Sukmrin experiments with different proformance enhancing drugs/magic/technology, it provides a boost to stats of all normal units in Sukmrin's army, but gives -1 Moral to Fallen because they don't like his wild ways.

Advanced class up > Mad researcher > brainiac

name:  Kassinar
hair:  Bright red
eyes:  Black

Race: Fallen
base class:  Noble/leader (video game "idea guy"   semi-inside joke )

history:  Kassinar is a noble of the fallen, and his arrogence shows it.  He knows he's better than the common fallen, and he makes it his job to ensure that everybody else knows it too.  He takes charge in any situation and he never takes no for an answer.

Major stats:
Charisma (if you could call it that)
Will

minor stats:
agility

Abilities:
Annoying:  Kassinar's over the top personality is a pain to be with, general -1 moral to everybody in his army
"This is what happens to the weak":  Kassinar kills 1 person in a unit (does damage equal to 1 person, that would be 1/6th of the standard MoM unit, or 1/4th of the standard MoM cav unit) and that unit gets a MASSIVE moral boost.
High horse:  Kassinar doesn't take moral penalties from 'lesser' units, since he knows he's better than they are.  (mechanically, so he can use the above ability on anybody who is suffering )

Advance class up > Enforcer > High king

*I kinda wish I knew what they looked like.  I keep wanting to go with bizzar old Dr. Who style people (that are mostly human, but subtly different like are green or have strange hair)

create a character:  Fan service series

Name:   Sonic the Hedgemage

hair:  Blue (spiky, might as well be quills)
eyes:  Black

History:  Since birth this guy has been one with the wind.  When he runs, it is almost as if he flies and he always has a tail wind.  In his youth, he was able to collect his most prized possession, his emerald power ring of chaos. From there he became pretty much a loose cannon.  He has no master, and he carries himself with quite a bit of arrogance.  Dispite his inhuman power, he is still friendly, always stopping at local stands to eat chili-dogs.

Major stats:
agility/Speed
agility/speed again (its that broken)
did I meantion speed?

minor stats:
toughness ( Its almost like he can only take 1 hit after his power rings )

Abilities:
Item: (comes with) Emerald power ring of chaos: Gives him a boost to speed, power, and toughness.

Light dash:  1/per battle he gets an extra movement (which is already insane due to his base movement stats)

Super sonic top speed: If he moves full distance turns in succession, his move distance actually raises above normal allowed based on his stats (if he moves 5 grid spaces, he can move 6 the next turn.  If he moves all 6, he can move 7 the next, and so on until he reaches the engine's cap or he can't find a way to use up all his move)

good call.

I was going to be pumping it before the end of the month anyway since I have had a fan service charcter for a while waiting for its related release.

Scoutdog, props for trying to work with the scraps of game canon we've had so far. I'll be interested in seeing a re-write after we know the basic mechanics for champion units.

They just had one. Sure it only gave us 4 spells, but it was insight  into how magic worked and examples of magic that exists in the game.
