Description Oh man, the story behind this one is a little long winded. Way back in march when I was playing Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition I was messing around with The Black Pits mode and creating teams made up of characters from various fantasy comics/games/books etc. I figured I wanted to do a piece depicting said team with Baloth looming menacingly in the background.

Fast forwards a few months later and I bore witness to the majesty of the Knightmare revival on youtube (If you've never seen this show before, you have got to check it out.) The idea then developed to have legendary dungeon master Treguard setting forward a team of gathered adventurers.

The idea got way more ambitious, to the point where it featured characters from things like Adventure Time to Assassins Creed. Eventually I had to tone things back, and choosing the final group was no easy task. In the end, I tried to keep it as diverse as possible, whilst making sure the team was equally balanced.

In the end I chose Isabela from Dragon Age, Safya from Mask of the Betrayer, Claire from Claymore, Al Jabr from Demon Knights, Jon Snow from Game of Thrones and Morte from Planescape: Torment.

Isabela is (c) Bioware
Safya is (c) Obsidian/Wotc
Claire was created by Norihio Yagi and is (c) Vis Media
Al Jabr was created by Paul Cornell and is (c) DC Comics
Jon Snow was played by Kit Harington and was created by and is (c) George R R Martin
Morte is (c) Black Isle/Wotc
Treguard was played by Hugo Myatt and Knightmare is (c) ITV Studios

Has a nice balance I think. A berserker, a fighter, a ranger, I would probably count Jabar as an artifacer, a mage and a rogue. Could have done with a healer but I was hard pressed to find a decent cleric type character.

yeah, most series don't really have "healer" characters.  characters that heal like clare or wolverine, yes, but not generally ones who heal others.
