Presenting the main characters


Hi there, friends and foes of democracy,

I am writing this short devlog just to celebrate that we finally have developed our cast of main characters! 


From left to right, we have:

Leonidas: Players' avatar and main character of the story. He is a young and ambitious man who will pursue a career in politics.

Artemis: Laying on an invisible divan we see Artemis, twin sister of Leonidas. She is a midwife and hunter, independent and progressive. Leonidas and Artemis are best friends, but will have their issues at times.

Achilles: The strongest man in town, Achilles the Achean is an experienced soldier who fought in the Peloponnesian wars. He is active in politics, helping his friend, Drakon. He is one of the strategoi (official general) of the city.

Bion: A polymath, Bion will do anything for his city. He can check the government accounts to investigate for signs of corruption. He is also a strategoi, although his advanced age would suggest otherwise. 

Charon: An educator, Charon is articulated and charismatic. He is developing a small group of young men with interest for debates and philosophy, in an attempt to change the politics of the city. Leonidas is his most recent disciple.

Drakon: At the start of the game, Drakon is the incumbent archon (city leader) and its most important politician. Despite that, he is not very popular, as his policies do not seem to have any impact. His life is also a mystery: no one knows how he lost his eye!

Euterpes Eugenius: With a flamboyant personality, Euterpes is a playwright and the main artist in town. His plays comment on the ordinary life as well as the politics of the city. He secretly hopes to become archon one day.

Sybilla: Sitting on an invisible chair we see Sybilla, the oracle of a nearby temple. She is the only one in this list who is not truly a main character, but will appear on a side adventure in the game.

I hope you like the art and the cast of characters. 

Cheers,

Pedro
