Topic: Questions to Raggi about the iconic LotFP characters
I have some questions about the iconic characters in LotFP (the cleric Alice, the specialist flame princess and the unnamed magic user). If it is not too much, I would like to know if James could answer those questions.
About the unnamed magic user:
. What's her name, or at least nickname? The blonde cleric is Alice, and the redhaired is Flame Princess (although we don't know her name, we know her nickname). What about the magic user?
. Is the magic user on the cover of 'Better than Any Man' the same magic user? Is there any story related to it?
Questions in general:
. About the iconic characters, do you intend on doing 'something' with them. By something I mean if you intend to create a saga, story arc?
. Also, why did you choose that name for the rpg? What is the 'Flame Princess'? What about her, for you, inspire 'weird' rpg? Why Lamentations?
. Why the Flame Princess is a specialist? Any reason for it? I ask that because, since she is at the cover of the rpg and in the name of the game, I would like to know what was your train of thought when choosing her class. It could be any one of them: warrior, specialist, mage, cleric. Why specialist? I imagine because that could be your favorite class, but that's only a hypothesis.
.Is there any cool story behind those characters, or any fun fact, easter egg? Are those characters inspired by those of your players?
About all those questions, I'm just a curious guy. I know that you can answer 'just create whatever you like, make your own story' and stuff, but I'm curious on knowing from the author what did he think, the 'whats' and 'whys' of his choices. As a writter (portuguese writter), I like hearing from others and exchanging thoughts.
Well, too many questions. I hope you could answer, if not all of them, at least some.
Cheers,
