Woman aka Witch

A minor good guy in 1980s heroic fantasy schlock movie Hawk the Slayer. She's a nameless witch. But a good witch.

Hawk the Slayer

The protagonist of 1980s heroic fantasy schlock movie Hawk the Slayer. And his magic sword, obvs.

The version of the Filipino super-hero Lastikman seen in the 2004 movie take. As of August of 2020, the game stats and discussion about the traditional version of Lastikman have been restored. They had been lost for far too long due to a stupid cut-and-paste mistake.

Grey Warden Utha

An elite Grey Warden who's also a mute kung fu Dwarf paladin. Utha appears in David Gaider's Dragon Age: The Callin prequel novel (and in a game DLC).

Mama Odie

The all-singing, all-dancing aged voodoo queen of the bayou in Disney's The Frog and the Princess. Good creole witch.

Warden Commander Genevieve

Genevieve, Commander of the Grey, is one of the main characters in the Dragon Age prequel novel The Calling, by David Gaider. Formidable but harrowed fighter with a big-arse sword, nerves of steel and a unhealthy intensity.

Doctor Facilier

The scheming, evil New Orleans wizard from the Disney movie The Princess And The Frog.

Hantu

Weretigress criminal Indonesian revenant forced to fight in a low-fantasy dismal world. Inspired by the niche Din's Curse video game, because I was playing that instead of working.

Kailane the Culler

(and the Sword Goddess)

A fully fleshed-out sample heroic/dark fantasy character, based on a weird Path of Exile build. A burning intelligent sword that kills her wielders, darting acrobatics based on a magical proximity sense, a feral huntress with a pet canary, these sorts of things.

Ritual

Another example of a fully-fleshed out Player Character from a video game. This time a female Barbarian Shaman from the seminal Everquest MMO. Predictably, this also presents setting elements such as the Northmen, the Tribunal, Halas, the epic weapon quest for that class, etc..

(and Yami Yugi)

Older notes covering the basics about Yugi Motoh, Yami Yugi and their games.

Dynaheir

One of the core companions from the canon adventuring party in the original Baldur's Gate D&D video game. Lawful Good Human witch from Rashemen. As with all our Baldur's Gate profiles, there's plenty of explanations about the context, cultures, history, etc. relevant to the character.

Tigra the were-woman

(Greer Nelson profile #2)

Our second profile for Marvel Comics heroine Greer Nelson, depicting her early days as Tigra. During those she was a bit different than in later depictions. As of December of 2019 the illustrations were redone in HD. The text also had its fur brushed, though it was reading better than I remembered.

Melinda Warren

(Charmed)

This XVII^th century witch is the ancestor of the Charmed Ones - Piper, Phoebe and Prudence Halliwell. She appeared in the original, 1990s version of the Charmed TV show.

Minsc

One of the core companions from the canon adventuring party in the original Baldur's Gate D&D video game. Probably the most famous and loved of the lot. Human fighter from Rashemen.

An evil Green Lantern type from another reality. This is the 1964 version, not the Grant Morrison one.

Rustam

(Dr. Raza Kattuah)

Evil-Lyn

(Masters of the Universe cartoons)

The evil (I mean, that's in the name) witch who's more or less Skeletor's second in command. As you can surmise, she appears in the 1980s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series. Or cartoon, if you prefer.

Superwoman

(Pre-Crisis Earth-3 version) (Crime Syndicate of America)

The 1964 version of Superwoman of the Crime Syndicate of America, sort of like an evil Wonder Woman. As of October of 2019, this profile was entirely redone.
