A random furry OC I created

What do you guys think? I think he could use some work myself, though I do believe I have a lot of good ideas. I apologize in advance if I'm not supposed to use this board for self-promotion, though I figured that this would fit just fine here.

He kind of reminds me of Iceheart.

I've never actually heard of Iceheart. I'm not surprised that my OC is kind of reminiscent of other people's characters though, as he does draw on a number of popular tropes.

Like I mentioned earlier, I came up with most of my ideas for him just from random ideas I've been throwing around in my head, and when I finally got down to writing his character description, it was late at night and I just sort of wrote it all in one sitting, in a semi stream-of-conciousness fashion.

But anyhow, thanks for the feedback!

You're welcome. Is he good or evil?

It depends on who you ask. XD The Altonian emperor hates him because he steals his stuff and pawns it off. That may sound bad, but the proceeds from said pawning go towards helping people in need, many of whom have had their families murdered, crops stolen, villages ransacked, etc by the emperor and his cronies. I still need to develop the emperor's character, but at this point I can basically say that he's a sick SOB in charge of a dysfunctional monarchy that's crumbling around him, and all he cares about is his own pleasure.

That aside, on the D&D scale, I would consider my OC somewhat of a cross between chaotic good and lawful good. Lawful good, because he has a strong sense of justice and adheres strictly to the laws of his tribe. Chaotic good, because he has little regard for Altonian laws, but again a strong sense of justice and morality. He is what you could consider an ethical thief.

If you want sort of a far-fetched comparison, consider Dexter Morgan, from the series Dexter. He is a serial killer and a blood spatter analyst, but the only people he kills are criminals. He doesn't follow the law, but his morals are strong, and seeing as he works for the police, he most definitely has a sense of justice. The criminals he kills aren't small fry either; usually they are killers themselves.

Last night, I finished this (admittedly crappy) drawing of Xand'are and posted it along with a bit of an updated character bio on my deviantART page. You can check it out here: http://mr-bigmouth-502.deviantart.com/a ... -449085423

Part of the reason why it looks the way that it does is because I just started learning how to draw things in Inkscape, and instead of practicing ahead of time I just kind of learned how to work with the program as I went along. As well, it was originally going to be just a rough draft, but I added a few extra details and figured I may as well post it just so that I have a picture of him up.

Here's a small preview:
