Hey, this is just a side note to say thanks for all the reading and to share some of the illustrations that inspired the characters.

Bei'ai Jien, The Old Master

First we have Jien. I've always imagined him as your usual old master, but with a twist somehow. That was the illustration that inspired his look. Unfortunately, I don't know who the creator of the illustration is. Wancheng Hari, The Fight Addict So we have Hari. I always had this character in the back of my mind somehow. She's inspired by Sarah Connor/Ripley-style characters and a collection of cultivation stories I've read. Of course, with an attempt at a twist. This illustration is from Gogalking's twitter. Again, thanks for reading, and when more characters come out, I'll post images that inspired them here (usually at the end of acts).
