Character influences

Now that we've all spent some time in our character's skins, I was wondering if you drew traits or ideas from other places. Maybe there's a fictional character you want yours to be like, or there's a particular song that fits them, or you've drawn inspiration from a real person that you know? What outside forces came together to help shape your character?

I'm actually working on a Sigrun-themed playlist. Once I've got it polished to where I like it, I will post it!

Crud, I was going to edit and accidentally deleted the whole thing. Been spending most of my time thinking about Rakhar, so Naeris' taken a bit of a backburner.  Well, I believe I've mentioned some inspiration for Naeris at one point already don't remember where or what I said exactly, but I wanted to make someone about as socially inept as yours truly. I may also have been slightly inspired by Raistlin from the Dragon Lance series. Not sure exactly where her mean streak comes from though... <w< She has a slightly possessive streak, which I'm not sure she has shown all that much. This was solely to ensure she'd become and remain attached to the other characters in the group. I wanted to make a character that could interact and grow with the others' characters, so I wanted her to take her cues on what's acceptable behavior from her companions, which I realize now may not have been the wisest choice, since now she's a bit of a mess, 'cause apparently it's perfectly acceptable to randomly murder evil-looking dudes in masks and cloaks, slaughter dragons and wear them for armor and shit, and to talk crap to law-enforcers among other things. Don't have any Naeris-themed songs or music to share unfortunately.

So there's a lot of mixtures of influences for Van the Sorcerer, I tried to think of something more original, but then I realized there were parts of his personality that could definitely relate back to some other characters that I've seen over the years, which probably did influence me in some way. So here it goes for Van: Aspirations and determination are a mixture of&nbsp; plus definitely some of&nbsp; And the calculating part of Frank Underwood from House of cards carries over, along with the calculating and deceptive portions of&nbsp; Then the charismatic yet sadistic side that will probably show from time to time is a mixture of especially if we ever dive into intimidation/interrogation/torture side of things, which Van might kind of get carried away: plus some Jack Nicholson version (far different from Heath Ledger version) And then finally pure charisma and manipulation, and wanting to shape the world like:&nbsp; and of course and then last just for a little extra personality, a tiny bit of this guy might show up... -References: - Colonel Mustang - Fullmetal Alchemist - Frank Underwood - House of Cards - Verbal Kint - Usual Suspects - Alex - A Clockwork Orange - Joker - Batman (Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton version) - Tyler Durden - Fight Club - Loki - Marvel Universe - Ash - Army of Darkness/Evil Dead

I think Raynor was a little simpler when I was thinking about him though, with probably my largest influence from plus some definite points from&nbsp; And a tiny bit of this guy at times (this is all linked to just the one picture for some reason, not sure how to fix it) References: - Aragorn - Lord of the Rings - Green Arrow/Oliver Queen - Arrow - Ichigo - Bleach

I've wanted to post here, but for some reason, I forgot to. For Elvalur I wanted to do something in the line of Vax, from Critical Role. As for Camoro, I went with a mix of Cammy and Juri from Street Fighter.
