History: While not much can be said of the exact origins of a Mr. Arthur Grey, it can be said without a doubt in the mind of a layman that there was indeed such a person during the Second World War in Norfolk of England. We know this from the historical records given by his wife Aneska Grey's journals and the British Government. He was a hard-working man given unto countless charities that loved his wife and children dearly. He worked and served bravely for the British Government and died in the year of 1989 as a result of the war. However, some critics prefer a more extravagant interpretation of his past ranging from claims of heroism that he was a century year old vampire to a mighty magician set on global domination. And that such could not taste the sting of death as any mortal man. To those that knew him as colleagues knew it all to be true. They too were vampires and magicians of the curse set on global domination. Now they seek his life and the lives of his friends for betraying them, because they fear they will expose them for the dark secrets they share with America, Europe and The Vatican. These are the adventures of Mr. Arthur Grey!
Biography: Mr. Arthur Grey, former member and co-founder of the cursed brethren is a complex main protagonist character in this story set on the destruction of that organization before the prophesy of Oblivion is fulfilled. That is the global unification of economy, society, policy, education, government, monetary systems and all other aspects of human industry making it that much easier for his former cabal of misfits to dominate the world. Fortunately he's not the only former member. More than two thirds of the organization have also rebelled and formed their own band of heroes and heroines, chief of which is his childhood crush, Sarah Goodwing. (Not to mention, the leader of the cursed brethren of misfits is his childhood rival and brother.) However, most of the strongest stayed retainers to the cursed brethren. So this great rebellion is still somewhat small and easily crushable. Mr. Arthur Grey wishes to rectify a past he so curses, but that doesn't make him a Saint. Aside from all the evil unsaid things he's done, when he has spare time on his hands, which is most of the time, he is either skylarking at adult strip clubs or massage parlours, bounty hunting, in a fight of some kind or purely for the sake of it, drinking himself silly and or gambling. That said, he is definitely human by nature with mankind's well-being at heart, of course. But he's by no means human in the flesh. Mr. Arthur Grey is a blood drinking magic wielding vampire magician; a tamed savage beast in human skin whose abilities range from the evocation/invocation of mythical creatures in aid of battle to the conjuration/abjuration of powerful magic to curses, hexes and the awakening of the dead to various weapon and martial arts masteries. His tree of spells is not the only spectacular thing about him. He also carries with him an inventory of very rare items and figurines: a magic replica of the sword King Arthur once used in battle, Pharaoh Zoser's left eye containing several mystical powers which he stole from his sarcophagus and a sacred tattoo of initiation into the ancient ways of alchemy. Mr. Arthur Grey is an extraordinarily odd character. The kind of character you will never come across in real life, but wish you could for his mystery and grandeur. But you can appreciate him for the leading stance he takes against injustice, while being quite human himself.

This was a college assignment I did on the 26th of March. I had to submit a Character Sheet coupled with a Character brief. It was awesome fun, but I really wish I did better. My character sheet should've been re-done with a finer line and the "Finished Artwork" in the left hand bottom corner should've been inked and coloured. I'm also told that my character poses don't really show what he's all about. But all-in-all my lecturer did say it gave a very Victorian feel, which is what I'm aiming at. Well sorta. I also wanna encorporate the more american top-hat-mafia costume wears like in Baccano. And give him a massive gun like Alucard from Hellsing.
Well that's a First Year's first term work for Character design. Hope you enjoyed. If you have any pointers (C&C) please share thanks.
