A little while ago I posted a number of character descriptions and in continuation of the theme I'd like to present you with a few more. As before the images are all taken from Dragon Magazine online and hopefully they inspire someone out there.
DRAMATIS PERSONAE
The
old man cut a battered figure as he moved slowly through the
taverns crowd towards his accustomed spot The regulars got out of
the way quickly enough, they'd seen the results of getting caught
in his bad eye many times before and likely would do so many times
since.
It
throbbed painfully but everyone knew that a scar remembered the
weapon that made it, even so his seemed to be putting extra
feeling into the job.
“Evening
Boss” for once he made no attempt to hide his educated tones
that betrayed a noble ancestry unmatched by anyone else in this
rat infested fleapit
“Yer
late” the overseer grumbled as he always did.
“I had some business to take care of”
His
employer spun on his heal, a graceful movement for one so fat “You
work for me you don't got no business less I say you do!”
“You
forget who I am” he kept his tone respectful
“I
forget nothing! It's you who forget your place” his heavy hand
swung through the air but the old man caught it with a skill that
hadn't been his since his youth and with a single movement he cast
the overseer down amongst the rabble
“The
rules have changed I think” the old man settled into the
comfortable chair that had served as the overseers throne and
looked out upon his new kingdom.
