Arrogant, condescending, rude. To say that Adrik is not a great person to be around would be an understatement. Instead of fully internalizing his feelings, Adrik tends to lash out at others because he has yet to realize the extent of which other’s emotions affect his emotional state. He has yet to find the off switch to his empathic and telepathic abilities and as a result is constantly assaulted by the thoughts and feelings of others. As there is rarely any room in his head for his own thoughts, he tends to operate on his base instincts more than is healthy. Many of his problems are due to his relatively young age but are magnified by the fact that he chooses to spend most of his time around those he can’t “hear” anything from, such as Enya, as it gives him a chance to be alone in his head as opposed to learning how to cope with his own abilities.
If Adrik were able to look past his own pride and admit to himself and others that he needs help, he might just be surprised by how much easier that would make things. However, he has not quite reached that point, yet.
Fae is way out of her depth.
I wasn’t lying when I said Marie’s games have no rules. — You may have noticed the fancy new button off to the side; TWC vote incentives have been resurrected! A few people have continued to vote over the past year despite the fact that I haven’t updated the vote incentive in all that time.… Continue reading 26
Marie knew she was pushing her own luck but curiosity got the better of her. Last weekend I started running a lot of the characters through one of the D&D alignment quiz things (full disclosure: I’ve never played D&D but in my younger days I was addicted to personality tests and that’s how I discovered… Continue reading 27
Marie has never, ever lost a game of chicken and she definitely counts this as a win. Today’s TWC vote incentive of a redo page is actually brand new content (pencil sketch + text). Two completely new pages have been added to the prologue to hopefully clear things up a bit. Thursday’s update will bring… Continue reading 28
Look who has made it down just in time to witness all of the aftermath. Adrik, Enya, and to a lesser extent Bjorn are of the school of thought that magic should never be used around humans since humans just want to kill all the magics. Marie, on the other hand, sees humans as an… Continue reading 29
Marie really needs help with robbing all of the ships. Edit: I realized after posting this page that thievery is an unintentional recurring element in Eternity Complex. Out of all of the characters who’ve had significant screen time, the only one who hasn’t had a hand in stealing anything is Bjorn. I had a ton… Continue reading 30
Imagine whichever word you want for what Marie is saying in the illegible part; what ever it is, it’s not very nice. This scene takes place at the same time as the next scene. The background for the pages in this scene are the blurred flats from future pages. While I try to keep the… Continue reading 32
Aquatians and wraiths have a really hard time being in close proximity to each other because of the shared mental interference. The only reason Marie and Adrik are capable of having this conversation is because she switched into a human form.
The fairness of the deal is up for debate.
I wonder why Enya wants to add another player to her “delicate balance” and so does Bjorn (for very different reasons). While I’m not entirely happy with the art on this page there’s a bunch of little things on this page that add up to important. Fae’s no longer silently questioning Enya’s decisions or good… Continue reading 35
