Drown Your Sorrows

More art from our Star Wars game! Edge of the Empire has a feature called "Obligation" which represents a debt a character owes, or a force which drives their life. This is the first in a series of four drawings depicting the Obligations of the player characters.

Lars's Obligation is alcohol addiction. He witnessed his father's murder at a young age, and the trauma started him down a path of crime and substance abuse. At the beginning of the campaign, he had virtually no empathy and no meaningful connections with other people. He was a drifter and a con artist, wandering from place to place, caring for nothing beyond his next meal and his next fix. The only thing that kept him from being truly evil was his own profound apathy. Lars's life changed after meeting my character Jastra, a street doctor and fellow outrageous liar; over time, the two of them forged a deep bond, and she repaid his friendship by adopting him into her clan. They now consider each other brother and sister and are devoted partners in crime. While the crew was imprisoned on Dathomir, Jastra helped Lars take revenge on the man who murdered his father. He cut off the dude's head, and Jastra made the skull into a drinking cup. So yeah, here he is, bathed in booze and the blood of his enemies. I swear he's a fun guy, though!
