Description
Another one of these! Here are the other two; the first one's description explains what they are:If you click him, his face and pose will change; unlike the girls, he only has four poses and five faces, though that's probably fitting for his character anyway!
These three characters are from a game idea which is essentially based around the idea of belief, and the ways that people approach it... The girl in blue - Gemma - represents an encouraging, 'open-minded', spiritual approach; she respects others' beliefs easily and comes across as rather innocent and naive, in a friendly and positive kind of way. She believes in anything quickly, following her heart and having faith; doing what *feels* right.
This guy, by contrast, is a hardened sceptic; the sort who demands hard, logical evidence for everything and argues at the drop of a hat, trying to debunk and destroy delusion wherever he finds it. They're both extreme caricatures of types of people I imagine you've come across yourself!
The red-haired girl, Erin, is somewhere in the middle, and the game essentially involves the three of them investigating paranormal phenomena and such by talking to the people who report them. Sometimes it turns out it was a hoax or a misunderstanding, and Thomas is 'right', but other times it really is a ghost or alien or chupacabra or whatever, and Gemma is 'right'. I wrote about it at mind-numbing length here .
I was thinking of a fairly typical nerdy 'internet atheist' when designing this guy.
I don't think any of the three designs are particularly impressive at the moment... but I'll probably refine them over time!

I really like the idea you describe on that link! I myself am more the 'internet atheist' you describe, but not because of lack of wanting to believe, so I would love a game in a world where paranormal stuff does happen, but not everything that seems so is paranormal. The idea appeals to me alot. It in fact is not often that somebody tries to balance the both world views of the hardened intellectual sceptic and the hopefull believer in everything that's interesting. Or what you call it.
I hope you make him able to admit it when he's not right (it may of course be pretty hard to convince him so). Because if he's not he will be very unlikeable. His sister too, I hope, will be generous enough to see that the dragons don't exist when there really aren't dragons (even if she's disappointed by that).
