Perpetual Anxiety Machine

Word already had a word count?! That WORKED?

Last batch of NPC portraits I've been working on, with the last set of unaffiliated npcs.

Howard Olmstead, an old Fisherman who often wanders the Seacliff Shores, or can be spotted by the Saint Dagon Lighthouse.

Isolde LeGrasse, a former military officer who now work for the police. She has keeps residence at the Heartbreak Motel, but works so often she's rarely seen there.

Lady Maribelle Crane, widow of the former Lord Jackson Crane, the last member of a fallen house. In her advanced age, without her husband or any living children, she renounced the house, and relinquised the manor to a distant nephew of her husband.

Miles Vance, a distant nephew of the Crane family, he inherited the Crane manor from his widowed aunt, with the intention of converting the historic building into a hotel. Misfortune has continuously struck his endeavors, halting his plans.

Father Ambrosio Lewis, a young priest to the fallen titans. He struggles to maintain a flock, in a world where most known gods have died, many before he was even born.

Keiichiro 'Ken' Ito, groundkeeper at the Temple of Oceanus. A quiet and detached man with little interest in religion, gods, and quite frankly, most things in general.

Next set of NPC portraits, assorted important characters not affiliated with any house.

Sheridan, the owner and proprietor of The Last Haven, a popular bar that acts as a neutral ground in the city. Sheridan knows everybody and everything that happens in town, but no one really seems to know anything about Sheridan.

Detective Phillip Khaw. Detective and owner of The Blind Eye Private Investigation Agency.

Cassidy Vo, up and coming reporter, trying to make a name for herself and willing to throw herself into any messy situation to do so.

Sadie Little Badger. She moved to the city to work at a hotel that was set to open, only to be snubbed on the job at arrival. She deals cards and tells fortunes at The Last Haven to try and make a living.

Danica Piper, retired actress and owner of the Heartbreak Motel. Though strangers rarely visit the seaside city, most pass through the doors of the Heartbreak, and none who do forget the striking grace of its owner.

Angelica Piper, Danica's daughter who works the motel. Though she inherited her mother's beauty and mysterious charm, she prefers a more humble life.

Third batch of Npcs for a game I'm working on, and the last of the Fallen Houses, House Dolingen. In order:

Lady Millie Dolingen, the stern and reclusive head of the house.

Harriett, the youngest and most social member of the house, one of the only few who is seen outside of the manor.

Ziska, Millie's right hand and the voice of the house in public affairs.

Fell, the house's bodyguard and close personal friend and confidant of Millie.

Lucy, the most reclusive in an already reclusive house, very little is known about the morbid and quiet Lucy.

Second batch of NPCs for a game I've been brainstorming. This time, House Giesbrecht, starting with:

Madame Lyssa Giesbrecht, matriarch of the household she has become reclusive since the death of her husband, Algernon Giesbrecht, four years ago. She is rarely seen by anyone outside of the household staff, and her son.

Lord Maddox Giesbrecht, the last scion of house Giesbrecht, and acting head of the house.

Argyle Grimm, companion and bodyguard to Maddox, following the footsteps of his father Siegfried, who was loyal to Maddox's own father.

Been drawing NPC portraits for a game I'm writing. I almost never post art, but there's a lot I'm really happy with, so gonna post them in batches. Starting with the few factions/houses, this one being House Pretorius. In order we have:

Lady Elsa Pretorius, eldest of the Pretorius siblings and head of the house after the tragic death of their parents. An engineer, who has turned to mechanics and electrical science in a world abandoned by God's where magic is becoming archaic.

Francis Pretorius, middle child and former medical prodigy, before poor health caused them to drop out of med-school.

Herbert Pretorius, youngest child and prodigy alchemist.

Eugene Fritz, former classmate of Francis. After Francis rescued him from a lab fire he swore fealty to them, and now acts as servant and guard to the Pretorius family

Elizabeth 'Lizzy' Wolfe-Pretorius, recently deceased wife to Elsa. While she is no longer alive, her presence weighs heavy in the Pretorius house.
