Emet

Postby Harpalyce » Mon Jul 11, 2011 2:12 pm

This was fun to do.

Theme- Golem/construct

Age (as a human)- Rather young, 17-20 - age of different parts varies.

Build (muscle wise)- Slim, rather delicate, though well-muscled; one arm more muscular than the other.

Weapon/s(if any)- Only himself.

Possible Names (you may leave blank if you cant think of something)- Emet - see quote

Other Info If Any-
After escaping the facility where he was created - rather accidentally, as he just wandered out during a power outage - he enters into the world rather naiive and clueless. He is rather taciturn, rarely speaking, though he does understand language and knows how to read. He is rather clueless about the function of everyday objects, however, only knowing names. He tends to view everyone else as friendly and doesn't quite understand hostility.

The tubes connecting his neck to his shoulder pump blood from one place to the next; they are kept in place with rivets. The rest of his body parts are joined with stitches.

In some tales, a golem is inscribed with Hebrew words that keep it animated. The word emet (אמת, "truth" in the Hebrew language) written on a golem's forehead is one such example. The golem could then be deactivated by removing the aleph (א) in emet, thus changing the inscription from 'truth' to 'death' (met מת, "dead"). Legend and folklore suggest that golems could be activated by writing a specific series of letters on parchment and placing the paper in a golem's mouth.

(from the Wikipedia article on Golems)

There are a lot of things I love about this! I love the tubes and diffrent eyes and hair. The stitches are epic too! There arent much details beyond that though. I would give suggestions on what to add but Im not so sure.

I rather like him plain as he is, hehe, to my mind he has a lot going on being the mishmash of different things that he is. Of course, if you don't like him, I may end up just keeping him after this contest is over - lol! :)

You are in a good place. If you like to add stuff from the chest down (for more detail/accessories/markings) I would encourage you. I just dont know much about golems and all that to think of something that would fit the theme. I would also love this character but need something "WOW" so I dont forget him if I write the list of my characters for my friends. Dont get me wrong, this idea is gold!!

(If you want to know the current paces, you could PM me and I will tell you but you could leave it a surprize)

I think I will let it be a mystery. :) I think if he doesn't get first, I will add him to my stable of characters, and perhaps find somewhere to roleplay him. He's certainly fun to draw! X3
