Starcrossed: A Ravenloft Comic Discussion
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2008 7:46 pm
Post below if you'd like to see another Ravenloft comic, updated as frequently as I have the time.
For those of you with slower modems, a version that only displays one page at a time can be found here:

Dramatis personæ
"Santine"
Found under mysterious and suspicious circumstances, Santine has nonetheless grown up into a seemingly normal young woman... with the possible exception of her personality.
Father Desmarais
Once an active anchorite, Father Desmarais has settled down into a position of authority in the Souragnen Low Church of Ezra. His education, speaking patterns, and collection of books make some wonder if he is native to Souragne, but the good Father has never seemed inclined to discuss it.
Father Benoit
A priest of the Low Church of Ezra, Father Benoit was Santine's caretaker for much of her childhood. Unfortunately, the two had a mutual dislike of each other, which remained up until Benoit passed away.
Marie Delacroix
Marie spent most of her youth working the hard life of the poor in Souragne. She managed to escape and make a better life for herself... until she made the dumb mistake of coming back. Despite this setback, Marie does her best to keep in good spirits: she prefers rum, but is willing to try anything else that seems interesting.
Jean-Louis Girot
A wealthy landowner from Souragne, Girot was everything you would expect of a man spoiled rotten from his earliest years: vain, arrogant, and spending entirely too much time on his hair in the mornings. At least, he was until a mysterious accident destroyed much of his house and badly scarred his face. He still spends too much time on his hair, but seems to be willing to swallow his pride to own up to his mistakes, which is probably all that can be asked of him.
Zoe
A formerly troubled and depressed girl from Souragne, Zoe seems to have not only completely recovered from a near fatal accident, but also shows a kindness and bright outlook on life that she seemed to lack before. If there were any negative side effects from the incident, they have yet to be noticed by the people around her.
Fredrik Diavori
A young man from Borca, Fred left his home some time ago, claiming anywhere else would be preferable to staying there. He was forced to rethink this statement after he collapsed about ten minutes after setting foot on Souragne. With Santine's help, he recovered and has decided that Souragne is still better than Borca; sugar is cheap, the coffee is fresher, and the passerbys seem a lot friendlier.
Thierri Boucher, aka Thierri the Magnificent
A theatric stage magician, Thierri was one of the first people Santine met in Port-a-Lucine. Although condescending and arrogant, he's willing enough to both help and explain to those in desperate need of it.
Elias Gauvain
A quiet, pale man who looks like he's in the dying throes of a heroin addiction. By all accounts, an accountant.
Captain Devian Chevailer
The local gendarme captain, whom Santine and her friends run into more than they would probably like. A decent man, though perhaps not as professional as he ought to be.
Lieutenant Charlotte Weiss
Devian's captain before she lost her arm and was forced off active duty. She has remained on at a lower rank, she claims because no one else knows how to do the paperwork.
Lord Émile Montpellier
An open-minded and unconventional young nobleman who agreed to host a Falkovnian defector and fell in love. His life has been a series of unfortunate events ever since.
Epitaph
A creepy corpse collecting elf who lives in the Port-a-Lucine catacombs. Has a whippoorwill familiar named "Dirge".
The Mysterious Alchemist
Nothing much is known about this elegant gentleman, save that he has a really nice hat.
