Ok you guys, I have three and a half concepts ready to go and can't really decide between them, so here's a poll for you all. I'm not saying that the highest votes will be the character I play, but at least some feedback will help.
Concept 1: The Tonberry
As some of you likly know, Tonberrys are Final Fantasy monsters characterized by their insane amount of hit points and that dreaded Chef's Knife ability. Davide and I have come up with a similar creature that predates the Masters. The Tonberry live in deep underground lakes and rivers using their quasi-magical lantern to provide light for them. They are skilled at placing curses on enemies. This particular Tonberry I have an idea to be something of an Igor to either the Master or one of the other characters, basically a manual servant and sometimes guinee pig.
Concept 2: The Beautiful Brawler
First off, not a girl. Inspired by Alexander Louis Armstrong, the Strongarm Alchemist from the Fullmetal Alchemist series. He's a very strong First who specializes in unarmed combat. His magical item allows him to break nearly anything with his fists (in mechanics terms, it reduces the effect of hardness and allows him to sunder things with his fists). He also has a twisted sense of honour, insisting that all fights he participates in be done in good sportsmanship, which meens unarmed fighting, which obviously favors him. Should his opponent refuse (which they would if they have any sense), he would proceed to break their weapon and then their body. He also has a habit of using homosexual inuendo and double entrades, completly ignorant of their dual meenings.
Concept 3 and 3.5: The Sorcerer
These two are similer enough that they can both be covered under one heading. The idea is for your typical, evil, power-hungry, magic-wielding, demon-dealing, Sorcerer. Chock full of dark magic, his/her spells just look creepy. A fireball appears as an expanding mass of black tendrils, a summoned creature is wreathed in shadows (think the Balrog), healing magic causes a loss of pigment in the area treated, etc. Havn't decided on his/her magic item/gift yet. The two diferent concepts are for a male and a female. Both are roughly the same though.
There you go. Pick your favorite and I will ignore the results. I'm mainly looking for a discussion on characters and items/gifts.
