Blech, the Black Plague was a disgusting disease.... LOL

Here's my first legitimate reference for one of my (not so new) characters. He's actually from a story I started a little while ago that I'm deciding to start up again. Except this time... It's going to be a COMIC! LOL i always thought it might be better as a comic than as a written story, although I may do both.

Anywho, all I can really tell you about the story without spoiling it is that its kind of a "Beauty and the Beast" story with a little bit of "Zorro" thrown in there. It is a historical fiction set in the early Italian renaissance when the Black Plague was still a major epidemic. (As is probably evident Lol) BUT it is also somewhat of a superhero/vilgilante story as well. Which makes me really happy because I've always wanted to write a hero story!

I don't have a synopsis written yet, but I'll post it when i post the comic cover. (The written book cover can be found here: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=la+morte+nera+cover#/d57eve6 )
This is going to be a series, but it has an ending, so there will be a set number of issues. (Don't know how many yet, but it WILL have an ending, just like a normal story.)

Anywho, about Thomas:
He is a 19 year old Romanian aristocrat who moved to Italy a few years earlier with his father after his mothers death. At the Beginning he is a stuck up, arrogant jerk who really couldnt care less about why goes on amongst the common people. He treats the Plague victims like animals and he is very notorious in the town. He meets.... Someone (not spoiling) and his life takes a 180 degree turn.
He does have the Plague, but NOT from natural causes. Karma sucks, doesn't it? ;p oh, and he's also immortal for the time being, so he can enjoy every painstaking moment of the illness.

So... Yeah! I will be posting more refs as they come!
