Today We Go To War

No Title

Hey everyone!
So, we announced that we'd be answering three questions from this forum thread every week! And this week, we only got three questions, meaning I'm answering all of them :)

Question 1: "Hey, I was just wondering if you had a set amount of chapters you are going to make or if you just have a basic story line that you want to complete."
The comic's story is already planned out and written. So we know the exact number of chapters its going to be, although we won't be revealing that number :)

Question 2: "I was actually wanting to know if there were any plans to do some backstory for some of the main characters. I realize the main story takes precedence, but I like knowing more about the people I'm reading about, like Solaris or one of the many students."
The first printed volume of Aikonia includes a mini comic that covers some of Arial and Solaris' backstory. Each volume we release will include an exclusive mini comic that covers more backstory!

Question 3: "Can you tell us what all cloaks are there at the academy? We've seen the Black With Blue/Red Trim for first-year students, White With Color Trim for upper-classmen, the instructors had their own color (which I forget), then there were those awesome Red cloaks that random-guy-outside-the-councilroom wore. Can we get some insight?"
Sure thing! Casters, Channelers, and Binders are universally represented by blue, red, and green trims respectively. First grade students start out with black cloaks and one trim, second grade students have a dark grey cloak and two trims, and third grade have a light grey cloaks with three trims. White cloaks are instructors, with trims colours that represent what it is they teach. And finally, purple with gold trims are council members (obviously).

We look forward to answering more questions next week! Oh, also, I (Andrew-David) will be at Otakuthon in Montreal this weekend (August 3rd to August 5th)! If any of you are going to be there, look for me! I'd love to say hi and maybe give away some stickers and whatnot!
Have a great week and enjoy the this week's page :D

Oh nooo. That poor court magician. How come out of all the people fleeing the castle, not one got the message to the king about the innocent magisters running for their lives from the school. Posted on July 30th, 2012 at 12:13AM Reply

During war a sharp line is usually drawn between Us and Them. Quite sad that the Duke/Ambassador guy died, he seemed a lot more intelligent politically then the King.... Posted on July 30th, 2012 at 12:59AM

Anybody else get the idea that a crack troupe of adventurers are going to be chartered to infiltrate the academy and perform a mission of import?

Might that be our main characters? Posted on July 30th, 2012 at 12:57AM Reply

Actually I'm betting the King will go to war with Ariel, and she will win (magic will obviously win against a bunch of people with pointy sticks) but not before the King kills all the innocent magi in the kingdom. Then with no good magic users left to fight back, Ariel-Demon-Thing takes over the world. The game will be about a group of adventurers leading La Resistance a generation later.

I'm probably well off, but that's what I'm thinking right now :P Posted on July 30th, 2012 at 01:07AM

Clearly Ariel has infiltrated the castle and conspired with the royal fashionista to make toppling the king.. *sunglasses* a piece of cake.

You did catch the thing about how his FATHER told him this day would come? Funny thing about being raised by someone is you usually take some of their views to heart. Posted on July 30th, 2012 at 02:08PM

In the spirit of "calling things" as everyone seems to be doing - mayhap the kings father hates the magi as he has fought some from the other realm before, possibly even Ariel (the being that possessed her anyway), the only problem is, is that that is far too cliche.

Kinda rash for a king. But well, at this point it's pretty obvious he was just itching for the opportunity to kick the mages out of his kingdom. Now that it's come, he won't stop for anything. Posted on July 30th, 2012 at 09:07PM Reply

Anyone else reminded of the BBC television series Merlin right now. One thing goes wrong with one magic user and every magus in Camelot and the surrounding area gets killed for it. Posted on July 31st, 2012 at 09:15AM Reply

...bring about a...? A WHAT?? Oh no, they got to this brave spammer before he could finish delivering his dire message of forebodings and low, low prices! The particular location will be overrun by essential safety dslrs and infidelity guy checks! Posted on August 3rd, 2012 at 01:42AM
