Do You Want to be a Background Character?

Are you interested in seeing yourself as a background character in the comic? Here's your chance!

(Read Carefully!) You will need to include:

  • What you want to be named. (This will be used when posting guest characters on the Cast Page) and your online name. Please specify if you want to be left anonymous, that's fine too.

  • Your in-world race. In the World of Valyss, the main races are Human, Half-Beast (humans with animal ears and tails. e.g. Kessah), and Beast (anthropomorphic e.g, Silfee).

    For storyline reasons, please do not request to be a Canae(Half human/wolf). Other than that, anything is fine!)

  • A brief description of what you want to wear. Be creative! Don't just say a shirt and pants. If you can't think of an outfit I will design one for you. References are a very welcomed.

  • What guild are you in? This doesn't matter much at the moment, as I am only looking for the Swords of Ariel guildmembers. However, as the comic progresses, more guilds may open up.
  • Your class: Melee Class | Bow/Gunner Class | Medic/Support Class
  • Your preferred weapon. No magical or highly futuristic weapons, please,

  • A photo or drawing of yourself (This will never be shared, it will only be used as reference for your character). If you are not comfortable with this, please provide a detailed description of yourself (eg, height, hair/eye color, facial features etc.).

  • Tell me a little about yourself, give me a couple of traits. e.g. I'm like the class clown! I usually say this "phrase"!

  • Are you willing to have your character killed/injured by a monster? If yes, your character may go on hunts with other characters!


All characters submitted are subject to refusal. By sending your character for inclusion you are granting the Salamanstra team permission to use the character's likeness in the comic. If chosen, the character as it appears in the comic will become property of the Salamanstra team. If you would like to use the design specifically created for the Salamanstra comic outside of personal use, just make sure to give credit to John Joseco.

If your submission is chosen, you will be notified and sent a sketch of your character. Your character will then be used in a future scene. Your character might also have some small interactions with any of the main characters!

If you have any questions you can e-mail salamanstra@gmail.com

Send an email to salamanstra@gmail.com with Background Character 2022 as your email subject. Otherwise I will not read it..


Thank you and good luck! Happy hunting!
