trickster for a sci-fi/fantasy sort of movie</p> <p>the sage is a young sage-in-training who is traveling the galaxy trying to expand his knowledge. he’s childhood friends with the brute because although their intelligence levels are on opposite sides of the spectrum, his patience and wisdom helps him to understand and communicate with the brute. he brings the brute along on his journey in order to educate and civilize him.</p> <p>the brute looks like he could beat you up, and he totally could, but he doesn’t really want to. he’s got a heart of gold but a mind of stone. he is highly unintelligent and so he can’t control his anger and he lashes out on anyone who so much as bumps into him. he just doesn’t know any better</p> <p>the trickster wanders around marketplaces in disguise. his enchanted mask gives him the power to steal people’s identities so that he may deceive anyone he may encounter and get away with all of their money and possessions</p>http://paintingpanda.tumblr.com/post/30944165990http://paintingpanda.tumblr.com/post/30944165990Wed, 05 Sep 2012 15:02:00 -0400sci-fifantasyconcept artpre
