Hopefully other people feel like this is a cool challenge idea. I just finished reading a book called Name of the Rose which was about an inquisition in a 1300's monastery, and recently played a similar puzzle game whose main character was an inquisitor, so I was like, okay let's do this!
My first idea was to do kind of an mmo character select style design, with red robes and kind of a chunky 3D look, but I realized he just kind of looked like a wizard, and I had not really done anything interesting with the concept so I went back to the drawing board and came up with something with more storytelling, shot a few refs and here's what I have so far.
I am going for kind of a grim 19th century look, I feel like that setting is easily associated with religious fanatacism and feels more real and frightening than something ages and ages ago. So this character is like a religious arm of an authoritarian religious movement that finds heretic camps and books and burns them.
