He's tall and relatively dark featured for a caucasian. Thanks to his world of origin he's about 6'6 or so and gaunt, not Etheopian famine victim think but rather noticably so. His most startling feature is his eyes, they're a deep blue than runs to a deep purplish color.

Other than that a sandy sort of brown for hair that he keeps rather long and pulled back.

I'm getting the image on an African runner kind of build.

No promises, but I'll see what I've got.

Stormbringer · Post by **Stormbringer** » 2005-01-12 12:09am

If you can that would be cool, if not that's okay too.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-12 12:32am

Okay, this probably isn't that close, but it can work as a baseline to refine the search on. The height is tricky, but I've got a pretty extensive collection, especially since a buddy started dumping newsgroup loads on me.

Just tell me what's right, if anything, and what's wrong.

Not bad really. A bit less beefy and he has no obvious augmatics. Other than that pretty close, assuming he's in power armor rather than his customary robe and cloak.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-12 12:43am

Okay, cool. The armor does kind of cover the frame, one reason I picked it. Track-runner skinny isn't that common in sci-fi art, alas.

I'd imagine not, at least not outside of anime anyway. Still, it's not bad at all.

Oh crap, one detail I forgot to mention. Prius is wearing a hexagrammatic ward, too.

Looks like that's the best I'll be able to do, art-wise. Had a couple of anime-esque shots, but the physique was a bit too beefy, I thought.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-12 12:58am

Hethor's really got to be digging the privilege of working for an inquisitor right now. Heh.

Just wait until Varian starts the telekinetic teeth extraction.

Seeing as how none of the inquisitors informed Varian that the pyscho was also a psyker.

Bastards. This should be fun.

Well, he's not about to hammer your man too hard just yet. He's a most useful mammal if he's sufficiently pure.

I'd be curious to see them. Would you care to share?

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-12 01:10am

Wow, had to go back to page thirty to extract that dialogue.

Heh. Most useful mammal. Very true. Are you familiar with the character Joachim Steuben from Drake's Hammer's Slammers? He's something of the model from which I derived Prius.

I'll go back through and get 'em, just a sec.

Ah, well this is going to be interesting to say the least. Now we find out how it will all turn out.

What can I say, I like quotes from Bruckhiemer quote. So many good one liners. And I am not terribly familiar with Hammer's Slammers. All the Drake I've read has been of the Cinnabar Navy series. I think I rather get the model.

You aren't really a participant in this game until you go through your first potential cluster fuck. Think of this as your initiation and welcoming party.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-12 01:25am

Yeah, Drake likes his servile killer characters. Really, Tovera would probably be a better comparison in some ways than Steuben, except that Steuben has his own company of security police that are like-minded fascists.

The other big difference is that neither Tovera or Prius have Steuben's flamboyant sexuality. Prius is pretty much asexual.

(He's interested in Celeste because she's a better killer than he is.)

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-12 01:27am

Just keep stalling him, Hethor! This is good shit! Heh.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-01-12 01:27am

You gotta wonder about the people Drake met in 'Nam and while being a prosecuter. Although it is clear he likes the killers better than the paper pushers.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-12 01:30am

Not so much the people he met, I think. He talks on his homepage about how he has a piece of himself in all his big characters, while discussing the novel with... Tom Kelly, I think was the protagonist. Not sure. The novel was Citadel, and he talks about how some of his characters really bother him because they're places he really doesn't like to put his mind into.

Considering how much he focuses on Steuben, that's saying something.

Here you go, SB.

Clicketh the linketh

Main objection to this one was the hair color, but I think the physique (from what we can see of it) about matches.

Still digging around for the other one.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2005-01-12 01:33am

got a pic of what Sister Commander Celeste "Morrigan" might look like?

Which one is it you're thinking? Because I could see both. He is a swordsman after all and that builds up some muscle.

Top one. I feel proprietary about the bottom one. I picked that one for a character of mine in an old fantasy game I was briefly in. Auliff Fallon, swordmaster extraordinaire.

Lemme dig around some, Yo-Bear. Statuesque, yet scarred up, right? Got any hair left?

Steuben's pretty much a subordinate character. He's never the lead character, even in The Sharp End, most of it is told from another character's viewpoint. His flamboyance and deadliness mean that the other characters pay attention to him when he is in a scene, but he really doesn't take up much print space. You just notice him for every moment that he is there.

The novel is Fortress and that one is a nasty piece of work. Distopian alternate timeline told from the point of view of government agent who can't trust his own handlers while the future of human race is at stake. At the end the main character gets the choice of which person who's life he's totally fucked over to go back for.

Yeah, but he likes to linger on Steuben. It's that 'poisonous spider' effect, beautiful yet deadly.

Yeah, Fortress! I read it like ten years ago, so the details are a bit slippery, but I remember a few scenes, and the ending. Flipping the coin and so on.

Frankly, the last novel in the Cinnabar series dwelled just a tad too much on the mindset stuff. I mean, yes, we've gotten the idea good and well by now that Adele has the psycho-killer capacity. I vastly preferred Lt. Leary, Commanding.
