Charlotte

Charlotte is light hearted and funny but also completely devoid of scruples. She is a sociopath unable to tell right from wrong. She is logical but not evil. If a puzzle required a human finger she would have no hesitation in cutting off one from the nearest member and cheerfully open the lock expecting everyone else to be as pleased as she is.

Charlotte is a fashion model by day and the Guild’s tank at night. Her primary weapons are the gauntlets which are part of an entire crusades era knight’s suite of armor. The armor, when completed, makes the wearer the perfect warrior, immortal, invulnerable, incredible agile, strong, and intelligent. The original knight who wore the suit took it all off because the royal lady who’s banner he fought for died and the armor was unable to protect his broken heart.

Charlotte found out about the guild as part of her search for the rest of the armor. She started her collection with the ring that surprises appetite (the idea being that the invincible night neither eats nor sleeps, the insomnia ring is in the possession of a rival guild) from a fellow model. Charlotte stole the ring which instantly made the girl ravenous, the girl was later incarcerated for cannibalism. Charlotte thinks it quite lucky that not only did she get a great way to stay trim but also culled competition for jobs, a happy serendipity.

Charlotte is part of the guild because it’s fun and she is looking to finish the suit of armor, mainly because she always finishes everything she sets her mind to.

Sebastian

I had an idea a while back for a comic about a band of urban explorers who got together to collect fantastical treasures and go on amazing adventures.

The world of the urban explorers is a secret world going on underneath us right now. It is a world of secret tunnels, magical traps, and incredible adventure.

Sebastian is the newest member of the guild, the former puzzler having mysteriously disappeared. He works at the All Mart a store. A place that has

everything

including the ability to crush Sebastian’s soul. Sebastian has an uncanny mind for puzzles which is needful for urban exploring. Often times treasures are guarded with traps and it’s his job to figure out how to get past them.

He’s an odd guy, he could be heroic but his unwillingness to take on the mantel of “hero” has effected his job, love life, and even posture. Sebastian doesn’t believe in his ability to be a leader. Which is great because the guild already has a leader who isn’t about to give up his power to anyone.
