I told some of you that I was working on the comic starting with chapter 1. Well... here is what I have so far. Feed back and ideas will be accepted - aswell as characters that would be cool to see in action!
Shadow Mage: Mage of Tenshudo
A Taru baby was smuggled onto one of the supply ships for Norg. When they found him, his mother was no where to be found on the boat. They guards took the child to Gilgamesh, where they were told to take him to his quarters. Over the years, Gilgamesh raised the taru child, whom he had named Laiden, and taught him the ways of the Samurai.
When Ladien was old enough, he ventured into Vana'diel. During his travels... rumors of a great samurai spread across the lands. Many warriors traveled to Norg in search of the great Samurai to test their skills in battle against the mighty samurai. Ladien, consumed with the honor and grace of the Samurai, accepted every duel that was demanded of him - and won every battle.
Ladien was content in knowing that he was one of the best with a Katana and it wasnt until the rumors of Shadowlord's ressurection that he would face his most difficult enemy yet. A call from the Grand Dutchy of Jeuno was sent out across the land to any and all adventurers who would take on the great warlord of the beastmen. Gilgamesh told Ladien that he needed to go and answer the call.
And thus our story!

There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Ladien is a taru - and in the time before the first Cival War of San'doria, the taru race was granted the powers of magic by one of the last remaining (if not the last) Kuluu. As a taru, magic surges through his body... whether you choose to harness it or not. Later in the story... he will be met face to face with a mage who teaches him the Dark Arts and Forbidden magic. He then gains the unwanted reputation of being a murderer and criminal. . . but that all comes much much later.
More is coming. Thank you all for your comments. It does take some time to put it all together... but I am working on it. Expect the next set of 'pages' in a few days ^^ Last edited by Spazz : 07-24-2005 at 02:57 PM. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 08-01-2005, 11:35 AM | #7 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: NC Posts: 13 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 186 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 186 Donate | Re: SHADOW MAGE: Mage of Tenshudo (Comic) Tarutaru Samurai all the way Glad to be one :D
