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 character prompt 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 challenge topic, his/her piece will be featured in the "Crimson Champions" Winner's thread!
Here is the passage:
His back was against the alley wall; he was breathless after being chased across the dark cityscape, and he realized he had no other choice. They were closing in around him as he pulled his hands together and began to chant, causing brilliant light to spark from his fingertips. "I'm a wizard, bitch."
Your task: Design a wizard (or witch) living in the year 2014.
Guidelines:
Deadline is Sunday, September 21 @10pm GMT
