Description What these guys all have in common is that I've posted them before. Kaliat has become Kalia, and both her and Solvi's designs have been changed a bit.

Oom is the story of a post apocalyptic fantasy world in which a great Cataclysm caused by magic caused the collapse of the civilized world some thousand years ago. Since then the lingering reality warping nature of magic has made the art to be banned. Magical fallout called Witch Winds ravage the central wasteland, and the single, Pangaea-esque continent is controlled not by one government but by a handful of Trade Barons, all with conflicting goals and interests and rife with betrayal and illicit trades.
We follow Oom, folk hero turned slave turned right hand man of Baron Winder Liat, as he searches for his lost son, Ezi. His morals and ethics will be tested as he is put through hell to salvage what's left of a life that's slipping away from him.

Left to Right:

Hyatt

-Drinks and fights. A lot.
-Headstrong and stubborn, and a little sarcastic.
-A punch now ask questions later sort of person.
-Refuses to learn the lingua franca, so Oom usually translates for her, though it’s still rocky because they have different dialects.
-White sprites have a rather unique culture in which anyone who survives a sort of warrior’s pilgrimage becomes a man in the eyes of their village and can freely choose a mate. While unusual, a woman choosing a man, a man choosing a man or a woman choosing a woman are not taboo. However, in recent times, their populations have started to dwindle. So when Hyatt professes her desire to wed Solvi, who is an esteemed member of their community, the elders are troubled because they want Solvi to find a male partner and have children. So, to discourage her, they send Hyatt on a long pilgrimage that takes her far out into the central wastes. But Hyatt is not one easily discouraged.

Solvi

-Though soft spoken, she’s by no means a pushover, and is more than capable of defending herself verbally or with a very large hammer.
-The blacksmith of their village, crafting weapons, tools and armor, and revered as an excellent craftsman.
-Friendly and energetic, though a little shy at a glance. Loves the outdoors, especially plants.
-She enjoys making small trinkets when she‘s not making more utilitarian objects. Underneath Hyatt’s armguard is a metal puzzle bracelet Solvi made for her, that only comes off if forcibly broken.

Oom

What’s there to say about the ‘Hero‘?
Nothing that won’t spoil the story, I fear!
He makes the transition from lighthearted to gravely serious, compassionate to intense, hero to slave to right hand man of a crime lord.

Gumlatch

-a kobold.
-Put in charge of teaching Oom the lingua franca and helping him to settle into his new environment.
-Instead of doing the above he mostly smokes, drinks, gambles and chases girls.
-Greedy and loves shiny objects.
-Very crass and sarcastic, sort of lazy but silver tongued, and works to meet his own ends.
-But, really, him and Oom are best friends.
-Carries a large laser pistol (not pictured).

Kalia

- Full name is Winder Kalia. She is the estranged daughter of the Baron Winder Liat.
-She’s a hybrid of western and eastern suirshen breeds (westerners are very small, eastern are very tall)
-The status of her mother is unknown, but a lot of grisly rumors fly around.
-She’s joined Baron Csi Morata and has become an anti-slaver activist and vigilante.
-Very proud, hard headed, outspoken.

Hyatt/Solvi my OTP. Seriously love how you described those two. Also SPRITESARENOWMYFAVEGROUPHERE. Seriously, they're adorable and yet you can make them badass. I would love plushies of these guys.

Gumlatch cracks me up, not just the description but the skeezy smirk too.

And dude I LOVE Kalia's colors and over all design.

GAH I can't get over how adorable the sprites are. Adorable in a kick-ass kind of way.

Wonderful job, again! I really like the lineless style you give them.

Again, Oom's design is my top pick out of the lineup you posted. Maybe it's due to how he contrasts from the people you posted. I think I'll be connecting with the little guy once I get to read the story.
