So I searched the forum and didn't see anything here regarding this particular crossover. It didn't fit in the art thread, since I'm using existing art, and not in the meme thread since these aren't memes... they're cards. Without further ado, I present our heroes (along with an explanation of the colour choices for each):
Tuuri, thirsting for knowledge (blue), loves her family and is generally very friendly/sociable (white). Her abilities are meant to scale with Human Warriors so that when Emil or Sigrun (and others) are on the battlefield (searching for books) she can return the books (by paying the cost). Additionally, if one of the Warriors returns home/to the cat tank (returning to hand), she presumably gains some knowledge from the stuff they bring back, hence draw a card. Tuuri had a perfect quote for this. There was one 'better' picture of her, but I couldn't resist the nose against the card frame.
Ah, Emil. He's really quite selfish (black) and impulsive (red). Note that black doesn't mean "evil", as Emil clearly isn't evil. He's just... self-centered to quite a large degree. He clearly cares for his cousins in Mora, and Lalli too, and that falls under red's emotional aspect. Since he's armed with explosives and fire, he does lots of damage (4). He can also throw grenades!
Yet again I use that same art of Emil, because it's just so right for the task at hand.
Lalli was a tough one. He's a loner, introvert, and shows little concern for others, so that's black (again, not evil though). I chose green because he's clearly in tune with nature and the spirit world. He's not impulsive enough for red, not a knowledge-seeker so blue wouldn't fly, and he cares not for rules or structure, so white is out. His ability is meant to reflect his effectiveness when alone (for non-MtG players; hexproof means other players can't target him with any spells, such as ones that might hurt him, and shadow means he can't be blocked by any creature who doesn't also have shadow).
His art and quote were easy, obvious choices.
Mikkel was easy. He's a stickler for the rules, and a healer. That's as white as MtG gets. Once we get more backstory for him we could add more colours (there must be a reason he's been fired so often?), and I nearly added green because of his farmer background (so he clearly would be good with animals). He's not a combatant so his damage (1) is poor, but he's bulky so a 4 toughness suits him. He also prevents damage!
Even easier was his picture and quote. Just perfect, really.
Ahh, Sigrun. She's impulsive and quick to anger (red), but also part of a rigid structure (the military) and has enough common sense to follow (some of) the rules of being in the Silent world (white). She's a card you'd want in your opening hand so you can put her onto the battlefield and grab another Warrior (Emil?) to join her immediately. First strike means she'll kill enemies before they kill her, which seemed appropriate.
Sigrun has the most wonderful faces in the webcomic, but this image seemed most 'leader-y'. I also love that quote of hers.
...That's what I have so far. I wanted to do Reynir, but we know so little of his abilities, apart from him being a dreamwalker like Lalli, but different. I'd hesitantly made him green/blue (spiritual, and clearly curious enough about the world to leave his home on a whim) but there's really not enough information on him to do much more. I'm also thinking about artifacts (their guns, the Cat-Tank) and lands (the cities, Silent lands, etc.). If there are any other MtG players out there, feedback would be awesome
And yes, that's the SSSS hexagon symbol in the middle bar. The program I used to create these has awesome editing features.
