This is a quest about a quest.

What kind of quest is it going to be? Well, that's up to you. This upcoming quest will star (at least in the beginning), one of two characters, both in very different settings with absolutely no relation to each other. Not even the same universe. They will not carry over to each other, and the one that is not picked will probably not feature in a quest any time soon. What you will be selecting is which story you want to be told.

This quest will be lined by Cervink, and colored by myself, as seen in the image here. Let's introduce our potential protagonists.

Aataz is a kobold of draconic blood born into a relatively small kingdom ruled by a mighty, ancient blue dragon. Of moderate power as a sorcerer, he was called upon by the Dragon King to undertake a quest with a party of other similarly talented kobolds. The quest was long and hard, and he lost allies, while gaining new ones. But he and his group succeeded. Now, Aataz is one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, and the archduke of all kobolds in the Kingdom. But the adventure is over now, the party has dissolved, and he has to deal with the reality of politics, along with all the dangling plot threads unresolved issues that were left behind during his grand quest. At least he still has his dragon girlfriendally around from his quest to help him with the challenges. (This quest will take place in the Pathfinder/Golarian setting)

Trace is a master thief in a futuristic universe of soft science fiction. Armed with a carefree, cocky attitude and a highly advanced stealth suit, he procures technology, information, and individuals whom others would rather remain in their possession. The rest of his team, including a brilliant scientist, a keen-eyed scout, and a powerful bruiser, all support Trace in questionably obtaining what wasn't theirs before. But his team's exploits have not gone unnoticed, and one officer in particular is very keen on taking down him and his team and apprehending them so they never steal again.

Choose your quest! This will run for probably a week or two, and then will be closed. After that, the winning quest will start at an indeterminate time afterwards. (In a new thread)

Both seem really interesting, I have a couple of questions though:

Aataz - when you say it'll take place in the pathfinder/golarion setting, will it actually take place on golarion or it's just in the universe?

Trace - what manner of creature is Trace? is he part ooze?

It will actually take place on Golarion, though it could certainly travel to other places or planes. Triaxus in particular will probably come up at some point.

Trace is a sort of glowbug alien species called a Glimneon. A lot of the aliens in this setting are vaguely animalstic, but none of them are just an earth animal in anthro form.

Arguably, this isn't a real quest and should probably have gone in /questdis/. I'll vote for Aataz's quest, though.

Aataz.

Btw, the art seems a bit high quality. Won't you burn out too fast if each panel is gonna have so much detail?

Oh gosh, I was so tired after coloring that last night I forgot something important.

While Trace and his team may be my original characters, credit for the setting they live in goes to the wonderful Yarkwark,
who can be found at http://teamprototype.tumblr.com/. You should super go check them out because they're great.


>>829808

Well, I wanted some experience coloring, and Cervink wanted to do a quest. So we're both doing this on our free time. I guess we'll find out.

Aataz I would say because Kobold - Win!
Even if he is a cocksure blue dragon delusional kobold sorcerer he's still a kobold!

Trace because bugs are even more expendable than kobolds!

Trace as we have enough kobolds running TG as is, he looks pretty neat!

This thread having fallen off the main page due to having received no replies for nearly a full day, I am going to end it early here. It's interesting that we ended up with a clean 12/12 tie, since I was sure there would at least be a small lead for one of them Therefore, it falls to me to make the tie-breaking vote.

After some difficult consideration, I have decided that it will more fun to do a quest with Trace.

I came to this decision in part from things people have said in this thread. Aataz is still deeply special to me, having been my PC in a long tabletop campaign that ran two years before concluding, and I will definitely want to visit him again some day. But I don't think he is right for a quest at this time. There are several reasons, like that having to conform to the rule sets of a tabletop game to faithfully recreate him in a text-based decision thread being uncertain in viability. The designs of Aataz and some of the people that will have to appear are also very complicated (his full battle garb involves robes, a staff, a bag, many potions and a magical charisma boosting circlet). His dragon girlfriend has also silver scales, and since this will be primarily a flat colored quest with minor shading due to my relative coloring inexperience, I don't really feel I can do her justice. She's simply too shiny for me to deal with as a novice artist.

By contrast, Trace has a very simple design, as do most of the characters in his setting. Since the universe is basically 'cartoon sci-fi', I can also have loose rules for what does and doesn't work, and things can be silly and fun as needed to break the tension. Anything with Aataz will have that undertone of a concrete world setting with rules and deep-set structure. Trace's quest will definitely be more about having fun and adventure rather than working with a huge platter of things that Aataz has to deal with on a daily basis.

I'm looking forward to working on this, I hope everyone else enjoys it too.
