The latest Kickstarter update for GrapeOcean Technologies’ upcoming CRPG Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness introduces us to three of the game’s potential companions and their somewhat unconventional stories and personalities. Here’s what they’re all about:
Ho there, adventurers!
Our current update introduces three misfits you will be able to recruit as companions. Think twice before you accept such a person into your party!
Jade, the Necromancer
Jade was a child of the city with indifferent, borderline neglectful parents working in Isilbright’s sprawling bureaucracy. Her fascination with both dead things and magic was born with the death of her pet squirrel, Mindy. Jade did her best to bring Mindy back to life, first through failed attempts at homemade magic involving really large candles and inexpertly drawn symbols, later by gutting the tiny corpse and installing a crude armature alongside its skeleton.
Jade did get over the loss of Mindy, mostly, but never lost her desire to see the dead come back to life, in any form and preferably by her own hand.
Her chosen profession has unfortunately hurt her prospects of ever having a love life, since necromancers are typically isolated loners, if not by their own choice, then by everyone else’s.
Phimm
Phimm is a true loudmouth. A master of fake smiles, gambles and drama. Once he was a cypher in the city of Isilbright, but that walk of life never really fit him. His travels took him all over Isilmerald and beyond, one of his favorite stamping grounds being the Garden of Delights. The colors and hustle of the Garden never ceases to amuse him.
Phimm is a man of words, one of rather chaotic nature. While he is more than likely to talk himself out of sticky situations, he is also very likely to cause mentioned sticky situations. If there is place for a jibe or a – preferably – in appropriate joke, nothing will keep him from saying it. He is also a talented player of cards. Phimm made it a personal goal in life to challenge and best the greatest gamblers and cardsharpers of Yerengal.
Sea Hag
Not much is known about Sea Hag. Her past is veiled in darkness, even to herself. She was born among the tides of the Zarndur Sea, swept ashore by the deep blue waves. She used to be a mortal before, but her old self now lies on the seafloor along with the ship she sailed. Her path is guided by Omeyrenon, the god of seas. The deity guides her on a journey quite mysterious to her. Nevertheless, she follows devoutly.
Sea Hag is a somewhat contradictory character, an attribute she came to accept and understand. She was given the magical powers of a druid by the god of seas, but she is also undead. Many will shun her for this state, and she often needs to prove her benign nature until she is trusted. She is particularly easy going and open about her knowledge, and will gladly share it with those in need of it.
That's all for today! See you again next week!
