The Silhouette Game

[L. Jay Echoes]

This season, I will be releasing 5 short stories from the series I've been planning for almost a decade now. I've got the characters designed, but I would like to see what you guys think they'd look like.

In this topic, I will post silhouettes of the characters along with a description of their role in the story. I have 11 so far and I intend to make 5 more.

Grew up in a religious household; sneaks out of church and school to hang out with truckers and watch demolition derbys.



The Reluctant Babysitter

Mother of a thousand monsters now living in the sewer. Wants to keep it a secret from her human companion.




The Oracle

In touch with the spiritual realm; seeks prayer lessons from a veteran oracle, has to maintain an ethically straight spirit to hold the position of astral-projector.



The Wannabe

Has aspirations of leadership; usurps any group of people he can with the aims of building his own personal army but covets the bragging rights of a single-handed coup d'tat.

The Goon
