Deus: Nightmare Autarch, I'd be using the character(s) for various things. One of them would be a story. The other might be animation or art.
I've created a story (or more exact, replaced a story with it) named Tempest. It's about three tribes that each control a certain element, but then they begin a war for struggle to control the elements. I've created two characters in current, namely Savannah and Maruk, but I haven't created a character for the third tribe. I'm thinking the element is fire, since Savannah controls ice, and Maruk controls grass.
Sorry, was I being too confusing?
