Other Charaters from Nourna's World

 The other day I shared about the character Nourna and some of her allies. Today we will look at that same fantasy world setting. I have a few ideas for possible world names and I will assign one soon enough. Here are a few other heroes and minor characters wandering that world.


Tanja is a heroic beautiful archer adventurer. She travels helping those in need and fighting evil. I don't really have her character developed much beyond that. I decided she could exist on the same world as Nourna. This collage includes some heromachine models, a viking warrior dress up game. It also has two drawings, one done for me by demoonial and other by wolfram18, both are on deviantArt.


Lathan is Tanja's husband who travels with her adventuring. He is a very handsome warrior man. I made a version of him with a warrior maker dress up game. Then I got a few AI generated images from his description that look okay.


Reyna is a girl from a faraway land who has magical powers. The original drawing for this character was done for me by deyenyen on deviantArt. It was meant to be a different character but I recolored it and came up with the idea for Reyna. I had an idea for playing with the 'exotic foreigner' trope where Reyna comes from an analog of Europe and to the people of Tanja's land, Reyna is very unusual.


Haoshi is a recurring character the heroes would meet from time to time. Haoshi is a messenger with ninja skills. She uses the skills to move quickly and quietly so that she can make her deliveries safely. The centerpiece of this collage is a drawing done for me by musspell on deviantArt. I also used heromachine and got some decent versions of her from an AI image generator.


Surati is a dancer at a inn/lodge/club of some kind in the world. I have some ideas for her backstory but I want to work on them more before I get into it.


And finally Yuki is another dancer that works with Surati at the same place.

I thought I would have more to say about some of these characters but now it seems I need to develop this world and its stories more before I share anything else about it.

NOURNA'S PATROL

 Today I want to look at another God Factor spin off idea. Yes another one from the story arc idea where Dominick goes to different worlds recruiting new heroes to the forces of light. In one world he met a young soldier named Nourna.




Nourna is the last soldier of an army that no longer exists for a nation that was destroyed. Nourna was the second in command of her patrol. The enemy they fought overwhelmed them and Nourna was the only survivor. She returned home to find her nation had fallen. Now Nourna roams the land upholding the ideals of her destroyed homeland and helping those in need.

I made this collage with a few AI generated images of Nourna's description as well as heroforge.com and heromachine.com plus two actual arts from deviantArt. The one of the left was done for me by waterskies. I know I have the name of the artist who did the centerpiece image written down but I can't seem to find it right now so I will update that later if I find it.


Not long after Nourna began her travels, she met Arma who became her traveling companion and best friend. Arma is a demi-god, the daughter of Bellatorius, the god of war. No mortal weapon can harm Arma. No matter what weapon is being used, it will shatter the moment it impacts her skin. The only exception are divinely blessed weapons that are very rare, so she does not worry about them most of the time. Nourna is still dealing with a lot of trauma from losing everything and Arma provides some upbeat energy that helps lift her spirits.

The centerpiece of this collage was done for me by demoonial on deviantArt. It also includes a heromachine.com version I made and a base I used for the early concept of Arma's outfit. The rest are the AI genereated results from Arma's description.


Pyrim is a traveling adventuring archer. He met Nourna and Arma on an adventure and teamed up with them for a time. He immediately took a liking to Nourna but she was not ready for a relationship so soon after everything she lost. Pyrim continues his own travels and helps Nourna whenever he can hoping for the day when she will be ready to get close to someone again.

There is only one AI image in this one, the rest are heroforge.com and a warrior dress up game.


Athela and Berthela are beatiful twins who become allies to Nourna and Arma. The twins are in fact the demi-god daughters of the goddess of love. Athela became a spell casting priestess serving their mother's religion. Berthela on the other hand rejects their mother's power and chooses to be a warrior. They travel together doing good works and team up with Nourna when the opportunity arises.

The twins are characters than came about when I decided to recolor some line art pieces that some artists did for me. The one for Athela was done for me by demoonial. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the name of the artist that did the Berthela one. I know I had a file with all this information but I seem to have lost stuff after transferring over to this new computer. Anyway I also made versions of them in heromachine and got a few results from their description in an AI image generator.

And that will be all for today. There are a few other characters in the same world as Nourna but I will post them later. Also I need to decide on a name for the world this story takes place on.

Natalia and Friends

 I have made many more character collages over the last few weeks and I shall continue to make more.

Today I will show you Natalia and her friends. This is another God Factor spin off from the time Dominick goes around recruiting new heroes across the multiverse. At one point in the story arc Dominick finds himself in Los Angeles and he meets a girl named Natalia and some stuff happens and other characters are introduced and I will get into that more as I present the collages.


Natalia is a California beach boardwalk fitness skater girl. When Dominick meets her, he can sense that she has latent psychokinetic powers that become fully awakened by the end of the story. After that she begins her adventures as a beach boardwalk fitness skater girl with psychokinetic powers who fights the forces of evil.

This collage contains a few dress up game images that helped me figure out Natalia's fashion. It also contains two drawings done for me by actual artists on devaintArt. The one on the left was done for me by Akiko Ai Kureshi. The one on the right is an unfinished sketch that I managed to color myself done for me by Butteredeggs. And a lot of the rest are indeed AI generated collage fodder.



The next character is Natalia's best friend Julie. Julie is another California pretty girl but she is not into skating like Natalia is but they have been friends since they were kids. Julie is an ordinary human with no preternatural abilities of any kind. She is just the main heroines best friend and always there to support her. Sometimes an ordinary human point of view is just what the hero of the story needs.

This collage is made with a mix of dress up games and AI images like the others.



The next character is Jareth. Jareth is a genetically engineered shape shifter who was created in a mysterious secret corporate laboratory. Jareth escaped from the secret lab and ended up becoming friends with Natalia and Julie. The girls teach him the ways of the outside world that is ignorant of due to being born and raised in a secret lab. Jareth can't alter his mass or density but he can change his appearance and even rearrange his internal organs if needed. Jareth's base form is male but he can become a she with ease, or even an animal as long as it has equal mass.

This collage contains a dress up game image and some heroforge.com screenshots as well as the base I used for the original Jareth outfit concept.



The next member of the friend group is an alien lizard man named Etheel. He comes from the planet Lasidor. Etheel is actually the Eighth member of the Council of Light. Like all councilors he was once an ordinary mortal who was touched by the Divine Element and gained great power. But his mind could barely handle the multiversal vision of a councilor so he had to go into isolation to meditate and learn to control it. Eventually Etheel found that isolation was not helping him control his abilities. He decided it would be better to spend time on the mortal plane of existence to gain mastery over his powers. And by chance this happened at the same time Dominick was aiding Natalia. The beaches of southern California reminded Etheel of his home planet so he decided to stay and hang out with Natalia and her friends. Now Etheel does not disguise himself as a human, but he can give off a telepathic suggestive signal that just makes people kind of not notice that he is a lizard man from another planet.

This collage was made with heroforge.com screenshots, the heromachine character maker and one drawing done for me by cavyspirit of deviantArt.


Now lets talk about the villain of this story.


Rodazz Denrek Akez Lemad comes from the planet Jurhk. He was once a tyrannical monarch who was touched by the Divine Element and became a Councilor of Light. But then he murdered one of the other councilors in an attempt to usurp the council and become the one and only lord of light. He was no match for the combined power of the other five remaining councilors and they banished him to a netherrealm where he could not hurt anyone. They decided to keep him alive just in case they ever needed his abilities. But Rodazz was not one to just take his punishment and began pushing against the fabric of his prison. His voice reached many worlds and one cult after another sprang up to worship him and plot to set him free. One of those cults was in Southern California were Natalia lives. In fact her ex-boyfriend became the avatar for Rodazz to inhabit so he could break out of his prison. This was the event that caused Natalia to awaken to her full psychokinetic potential. Rodazz was defeated but his cult survived and still works to set him free.

This collage was made with some heroforge.com screenshots, a few AI generated images that did not look like total crap, and one drawing done for me by AzurexTwilight on deviantArt.


There you have the main characters and the main villain from the story of Natalia and her friends.
