Description
So here it finally is, the finished basic model sheet for Hauthen, the Livahk Sage. I actually finished this months ago and didn't post it for reasons that uncharacteristically, I can't exactly remember. Whatever.

Being the most important character designed so far by far, I put far, far more work into his design than any of the past Livahk designs. There were pages of variations of just his pants, and I came up with over two dozen color schemes before settling on this one. (The color of his mantle was the hardest part by far.) His design had a lot more very specific concepts to convey than the others, the most important of which was to look old and mystic. And secondarily tired, atrophied, and a little off relative to his fellow Livahk. Only two staffs are included instead of the regular three weapons because unlike the others, he carries his action accessory around outside of battle and uses them in story contexts. It should be easy to guess which is the Serious Mode staff and which is for general use. And if it isn't then I did a bad design job.

Finally, he still doesn't have a full name. At this point I'm pretty sure Hauthen should be his last name, in which case he needs a first name, and I haven't come up with any good ones yet. Since actual story writing is finally underway, (not just planning but something for release,) his full name is becoming a more pressing matter. So suggestions are welcome in case anybody has a good name idea.
