Card Art Based On Real People

I know there's a few of them out there. Does anyone have the full list?

We've never compiled one, but that'd be just the thing for the wiki, once we have.

Granted I don't know who is who, but most extras featured in both Rook City and Infernal Relics is based on fans. Such as all underbosses and thugs from the Chairman's deck is someone. Any person in Spite's deck that isn't Spite or a hero, though Collateral Damage is a maybe. I don't think Plague Rat and Matriarch feature anyone. GloomWeaver's Cultist and even Vast Following feature real life folks. Apostate homes one of them aswell in... I don't feel like digging out the cards right now, but it is the one where the guy is being impaled in the chest by Apostate and Fanatic is flying towards them. I can't recall any other ones at the moment, like I said much too lazy to open it up and dig into the cards.

Shattered Timelines i'm not so sure about, as it didn't offer it as a reward tier in the kickstarter.

It's Remorseless Provocation *mutterdidn'tevenratecultistmutter*. Citizens Hammer and Anvil are based on Adam and Christopher, I believe.

Oh yes! That's right, didn't even think about Hammer and Anvil.

Something else I had also remembered is I think the environment Rook City holds people as well. The Dr. Tramata (bad spelling!), Tony Taurus, and maybe the Racketeer.

As far as Shattered Timelines goes, there's a Warden Hoefle in the Block and a Tom Hoefle doing pick-up and shipping of Vengeance and GSF from Essen.

My wife and I are The Deputy and The Broker.

I hate your wife, Arenson, but this is mostly because I really hate her underling.

.....how did you guys get on the cards?!

It was a kickstarter option for Rook City and Infernal Relics.

Not that Arenson's underling is any better.

I just fought against The Chairman, and got my ass kicked. When the Deputy came out, I couldn't bear to kill it because I kept laughing. Grrr you Arenson!

It's even funnier when arenson9 kills himself…

Yeah … um … it was amusing the first few times I was with a group playing against The Chairman and people would talk about having to hit Andy, stop Andy, kill Andy, destroy Andy. Got old before the first game was done.

"Quickly! We've got to destroy the character whose artwork is based on Andy's appearance and yet remains a distinct and separate individual from him!"

But you die so well! Even if you are beardless.

It's also worth noting in this thread that, while it's not a drawing of the person, Tempest's point of origin is kind of a cameo.

I believe one (maybe two) of Voss' cards are based on friends of the >G folks.  Tamar used to actually post here.  Can't remember who the other one was.

There are more. >:)

Yeah, there are lots of art references we don't even know about and many name references, also.

Those >G folks are evil…

You know, in a good way.

Are there any refrences to the International House of Pancakes? I heard in an interview that's where the whole >Games started.

Either that, or it was a dream I had...

I don't think it was a dream you had, I do vaguely recall a mention of Pancakes aswell in a podcast. Though it wasn't where >G got started, it is where Christopher and Adam spent a lot of time at working on characters for SotM, before >G was even a thought. At least that is what I remember from it.

That may very well be the mystery of Con's identity.

RISE!

Related: Chrono-Ranger's surname is Brooks because of a real-life Jim Brooks.

He isn't called Jim because of Jim Brooks though. Hope that's clear.

I'm also an acolyte...

I thought you were a Zealot?

Yeah, they were going to do both names in honor, but apparently someone balked at the whole replacing an arm with futuristic experimental equipment clause.  People get so wierd sometimes.

Maerynia?  I assumed that was just a pun on the Rime of the Ancient Maeryner…

That's not the name of his planet. He's from Vognild Prime.

just to throw it out there, because he isnt, Rabit is the Imprisioned Rogue

I know the Sidekick in Spite is someone, but don't know who.

(If you know more let me know, im adding them to the Wiki)

Just going to throw this out there, but some people might not want it known that they have a card based on them.

True, but Rabit had told the community himself multiple times, at least enough that I already knew this one myself

It's also his forum avatar pic.

True. I didn’t mean it as a response to lynkfox saying it was Rabbit, but rather something to keep in mind before other names were mentioned.

Does that mean you are one of those people?

At first yes, but not anymore.

A mysterious response, but no smoke bombs… I give it a 7/10 at best

Maybe we can stick to people that have publically announced their own card art?

Oh come on, Pydro!  The Tendrils of Madness is the spitting image of you!  Admit it, already!

But seriously, we all know Pydro is really Platform Bot.

Whaddya talk? He's clearly the Whipacorn.

I thought he was Mountainous Carapace.....

Pydro is the doll in Plague Locust

Guys, guys, he's obviously LaCapitain. Those long glorious brown locks are a dead giveaway.

I thought Pydro was the S-84 Automaton Drone?

You're all wrong. He's Tempest's Eel friend on Aquatic Correspondence. 

Well, given Pyrdro's dream of being a Ronway. I know this because his name uses 3 of the same letters as mine. So, that must mean the character that is based off of him probably shares the same desire of being Ronway. It is a well known fact that Ronway, the greatest man in the world, is the Cursed Acolyte that resides in the deck of GloomWeaver. Taking this into account, his character probably deals fire or infernal damage to multiple targets. Seeing as fire is easier to handle, his character probably does this. However, not wanting to be shown up, he has probably learned how to make his fire damage more powerful, so irreducible fire damage. Since he doesn't have the power of Ronway, he'll need to wear armor to make it harder to get owies. Because of this armor, he is unable to move as easily, meaning he cannot hit as many target, so he will only be able to hit 2 targets with his irreducible fire damage. So which character has a DR 1 and deals 2 targets irreducible fire damage? None other then the wanna be Cursed Acolyte, Seige Breaker.

Dude, Siege Breaker is totally me.

Even though I am the face for "Profane Zealot". and I have said it multiple times on the forums, and used the picture as my avatar, please contact me if you want to mention it on the wiki. 

Why do you need him to contact you?  As you said, it's public knowlege.
