Thread: Inhabitants of the world. Any need for illustrations?

recently had a thought that tolkien actually got the word orc by dropping the d (all that olde english stuff is a bluff).

so my current world is populated instead by dorcs, a race of destructive imbeciles who believe in the principle of strength (and rightness) in numbers and are, unfortunately, appalingly well organised (albeit comical to observe at a distance).

gave them hairless q-tip shaped heads, round, dull looking features, round black golfball sized eyes, overbites, stooped and lax postures, and decidedly inbred lookin features, waxy white skin like somethnig you'd find under a rock or behind a computer.

Name: Lord Donaldin Emerov
Race: Human
Location: Kwourin, Groam

Once a potent and renowned healer researching the plague, Donaldin began to shift his research into other areas. He was the leader of Kwourin's famous infirmary for a while and during that time it is suspected that Donaldin made horribly unspeakable experiments with the populace of the hospital. First he chose people that were already in the verge of death, but later he was not that picky anymore. He was arrested by The Grey Watch after enough suspicion had risen, but it was a time of turmoil and while most of the inhabitants of the doomed city packed their packs and left, Donaldin was left unattended in the dungeon under The Shackled Fortress - once a bustling fort from where The Grey Watch coordinated their efforts. It is unknown how Donaldin survived, but it was probably weeks or months later when the local orc militia was formed and took control of the fortress. Donaldin was freed by the orc commander Mergog - a former slave - who did not know why Donaldin was left behind.

Since that day Donaldin has been in charge of the town. He is not really interested in running a town, but instead lets the orcs to whatever they wish. In the beginning some orcs protested against Donaldin's position, but Donaldin annihilated the orcs by engulfing them in an eerie purple-black magical flame-like substance that devoured the poor creatures in public. Since then, Donaldin has been left unchallenged. He takes what he needs without asking and the orcs running the town provide what Donaldin asks from them. Most of the time Donaldin is nigh invisible to the orcs and townsfolk in general because he may spend weeks locked up in a tower or dungeon in the fortress doing his research. The occasional missing people from the town has been linked to Donaldin, but no proof exists and nobody dares front the man anyway.

Lord Emerov is a powerful sorcerer of the Cult of The Black Flame. He is no longer interested in matters mundane and devotes his time solely on the art of the deepest black magic. It is rumored that he has stopped aging long since. Donaldin spends some time away from Kwourin each year and it is not uncommon that he has cult sorcerers visiting him. Nothing is known about the visits, but it is most probable that Donaldin is receiving tutorage or giving it. The orc militia - now headed by Murg (youngest son of Mergog) is totally under Dondaldin's control and they act as the eyes and ears of the sorcerer.

Ooohhh!! I really like this one.

Do you by any chance do Aliens?

Tyackt, no not really. Except if you consider Cthulhu Mythos creatures as "aliens". Recent work has been zombies and survivors of zombie infestation, some t-shirt designs and some characters/monsters for steampunk environment.

Unfortunately my ISP is killing the server from which the illustrations are linked to this thread. Most of them are already gone and the server is due to be shut down next Wednesday.
It is too cumbersome to try updating the thread so I will just let it die. Sadly the CWBP wiki has been dead for couple of years now. It has been tedious to the extreme to update the character related stories in this thread as they can not be conveniently cross-linked to each other and a forum thread is not really a fluent way to continue expanding this thing.

So. I opened a blog site devoted to these characters, created a consistent continent (named Cresia) for the countries, cities and people and will continue developing this much further. Some characters in this thread are not appropriate so they will not get their own page/story and are deemed to slide into obscurity and some will be heavily altered. I'll update the blog at a leisurely pace and adding also many that have never been published here (or anywhere) as well as adding new ones. The place is called: Uninvisited Isle.
