Description What if we could meet a version of ourselves from another reality? What would they be like? 

Throughout the month of October I will feature images of original characters alongside their alternate selves. I hope to create a new render every day, so please continue to watch this space!

"I was given a second chance on the road to Kintargo and I took it. I am a new man now with a new purpose. I’m moving forward now toward a future where all men can live free of oppression. My blade will be the voice of the downtrodden who can cry out in no other way. We will take Kintargo back from the tyrants and give it to its people. There is no looking back." - Thaddeus Korinthes

"Mr. Eddings wants his money, Jack. No, don’t talk. When I collect, the time for excuses is over. Still nothing? There, see? Now you have to pay Mr. Eddings AND you need a healer. Tomorrow it’s the money or I take the other hand." - Ruhkar Grent



(Right) Ruhkar Grent was a tiefling child born to a young mother unprepared for his arrival. Like many tiefling children, he was left to grow up in an orphanage. When he reached his teens, Ruhkar set out on his own to try to make a living for himself. As most reputable businesses refused to hire anyone with horns, Ruhkar ended up working for a local thieves' guild. His usual assignment was to transport goods back and forth along quiet rural roads. During one such trip, his carriage was attacked and robbed. Ruhkar was beaten severely and left for dead in a ditch. When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by kind, friendly faces to claimed to be holy servants of the Goddess of Hope and Redemption. They nursed the tiefling back to health, and encouraged him not to give up on himself. Ruhkar became a devoted worshipper, and was given a new name by his Goddess. Now known as Thaddeus Korthines, he serves as a paladin and fights for the liberation of his city.

(Left) The Other Ruhkar also grew up sad and alone, ostracized from most of society because of his tiefling blood. He too became a transporter for illegal goods. His life's path took a different turn when his carriage was attacked by bandits from a rival crime family. Tired and frustrated from his long journey, Ruhkar's anger burst forth to the surface when his enemies tried to attack him. He raged, lashed out, and managed to beat every one of the men into bloody unconsciousness. When Ruhkar arrived at his destination with the goods still intact, he was rewarded and given a promotion. Ruhkar became one of his employer's personal enforcers. He prowls late at night, visiting those who have displeased his boss by refusing to pay debts and ensuring that the money is collected. Known for his cold demeanor and ruthlessness, Ruhkar is feared throughout his city.

*^* I feel so sad about him, just because of beeing a tieglings and those horns~ They are so cute on him!
It's interesting to see what slight differences can cause in a story of a person, it also makes one think about onself, what if that would had happened or that other...

I am glad that the original one was be able to get another change and redo his life in a better way, but I also feel sorry for the other, who only saw a way of surviving in a place like that because others didn't even gave him a chance... Most of the times is society who pushes people to the worst edges of themselves... *hug* I wish he would met some nice people in a future!

Thank you Tasukra! Thaddeus would be very happy to know that he has a new friend who is wishing him well. The life of a tiefling is almost always very difficult. When people see a creature who looks demonic, it is natural for them to assume that such a being is evil. Many tieflings are indeed wicked creatures, but certainly not all of them are.

The Other Thaddeus may someday be able to turn his life around if he is ever given the opportunity. Perhaps the Goddess of Hope and Redemption will be able to find and help him too!

Our Thaddeus is very happy though. He is doing well and helping many people every day. His best friend is the half-elf Yoshi, who he considers his little brother. He likes to give Yoshi rides on his shoulders!

Thank you so much, Tullowyn!   I have always had a soft spot for tieflings. They are supposed to be a rare species, but they turn up in my artwork quite often.
