Description Now that Centauri has been around for a while, it seems about right to do a more in depth biography - and is brilliant at putting these things together, as you see here! Art and writing by me, then edited by who put this together in his handbook house style!

Here's the same bio on page - go there and this again! It's that good!


Here's the bio image in my scraps folder without all the text:

And here's his bio of my other character, Vigil:

how do you do these character bio's?

The background is a template - then you add the text and pictures as separate layers in Photoshop.

A fascinating read.

The format is great isn't it - gives a chance to go into a little more detail than the basic bios (which are still good - sometimes you just want a snapshot rather than reading a huge epic bio!) Now you've read this, anything you particularly want to see from Centauri in the future?

Maybe a visit from some other members of the Centauri League?

Definitely at some point! They need to be kept in the distance for a while though - partly because I don't want her to be able to call on them whenever she wants, and partly because I don't have the DU Points yet to introduce new characters! But it will happen eventually

But what if there's some conflict of interest?

Kostmeyer In reply to Bug-Off [2014-08-19 15:38:05 +0000 UTC]

It would be very interesting! Where do her loyalties lie? I think for it to work we need to leave it a while though and firmly establish her in Thunder Force - but yeah, once she's settled in, that would really shake things up!

Have any alien Centauri designs in mind?

Kostmeyer In reply to Bug-Off [2014-08-21 10:31:42 +0000 UTC]

Not so far - I don't want them to be too 'Green Lanterny' - so I think they might all belong to a similar species, with Centauri being the only 'alien' member.

(Then again, give it a few weeks and I'll probably want to do something totally different with them! lol!)

Or -OH- what if there was some sort of schism within the Centauri League? You know, like two opposing philosophies which lead to a break down within the order? Maybe something like two alien races that don't see eye-to-eye and they're forcing the Centauri to choose a side? Or a corruption within the Centauri AI software?

I don't know, I'm just spitballing ideas right now.

Looks great! :ursamagnus: did a great job and picked some great Centauri drawings you've produced to really make it pop.
