Yeah it has been decided. Corbin will be an Edwardian scholar of the arcane and occult mysteries. He's a skeptic, but not in the sense that he doesn't BELIEVE that there are monsters that go "bump in the night". Rather, he believes that there is ALWAYS a rational, scientific explanation for the supernatural. His goal in life is to locate these mysteries, study them and prove that they are not from "beyond" but are natural things "of this world".
Also, to make things interesting, when Corbin was an infant he was going to be a victim of Lucy Westenra (from the tale of Dracula, when she was the ghostly "bloofer Lady" who fed on children). He was rescued at the last minute by the vampire hunters led by Van Helsing.
So he's been marked by "the other side". Interesting, yes?
Here is an image of him bemused by a vampire vixen's theatrics.

Very nice! :D I love his expression
Well, actually, the piece looks like Caro asking you in a nicely haunting manner to get off your *#!!@ butt and help out with the dishes! :o)
...or she will suck the life right out of you!!!
Just kidding! Pretty impressive Joel! Thanks!
Dammit, I hope I still have that Victorian Valhalla book. It's a collection of b/w photos of cemetery settings and the like. Much inspiration to be had. Along with my everlasting love of ancient architecture, most things from the mid to late 1800's and steampunk, I'm sure we can come up with something.
