Hello Daggers!
Welcome to the Crimson CHOW (Character of the Week)! This is a biweekly challenge which was created as a way to hone your skills in design and character creation, in a fun and competitive way. Each challenge, we will give you a short descriptive passage of a character and it is your task to interpret the character as you imagine it, with your own unique spin. The winner will be chosen through a poll in the finals thread, and in addition to being able to pick the next week's topic, his/her work will be featured in a Winners Circle thread and in the banner for the next challenge!
Here is the passage:
"He left footprints in red as he walked away from the gory aftermath, and took a moment to admire the crimson sheen on his blade. He sheathed the bloody dagger and joined his brethren nearby, and together they sank into the pitch-black night."
Your task: Design a member of "The Crimson Daggers".
(Keep in mind you are not required to stick strictly to what is in the passage. It is more of a guide in terms of mood.)
Guidelines:
Deadline is Sunday, August 31 @10pm GMT
(*Post your finals here: http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-5369.html )
