Blood and Roses

I'm Robert Wayne Hickey, one of the founders and co-owners of Blue Line Art, who supplies the comic book industry with specialty art supplies and art papers. I'm also the publisher and over-seer of Sketch Magazine. Over the past years I've created several comic books, including StormQuest, Race Danger, Darkness Chronicles, Savage Family, Vapor Loch and, of course, Blood and Roses. I'm currently producing work through my own Skystorm Studios. Current work includes Blood and Roses, Race Danger, a set of novels titled Lords of the Labyrinth and developing a new company called comicsXP.com. ___________________________________________________________T he Ladies of Blood and Roses are:TAMARA ROSE Born in Cincinnatus in 2183 to two high-ranking politicians, Tamara had her fill of politics and bureaucracy at an early age. Tamara’s half-sister Reachal married a high-ranking politician. Tamara was expected to do the same but straight out of school she attended the Military Police Academy and became a MilaPolice officer. She wanted to "protect and serve" those whom she felt needed it but became discouraged with how the system operated, finding that bureaucratic "red tape" often barred her from doing her duty. She made an attempt at a happy life by marrying a young up-and-coming politician only to have him taken by an assassin’s bullet. She dealt with her grief by launching a vicious attempt to clean up the Cincinnatus criminal under-belly. Tamara was approached by the Time-Lords, and sensing the importance of the task unpretentiously resolved to become one of their prime agents._____________________________________________________ ________ CHRISTIANA BLOOD Chris was reared by her Aunt Eve and Uncle Jude with all of her male cousins in Salisbury, England, circa 1301. Growing up was difficult, for the Middle Ages were a very trying time to be a headstrong female in a castle full of dominating males. Still, Chris was treated fairly by her Uncle Jude and cousins, even schooled in the art of fighting (much to her Aunt’s disapproval). Chris proved to be an excellent fighter and in, in time, unexpectedly surpassed her cousins in combat skills. When the Crusades began, however, she was denied the right to join up the battle. Shortly thereafter, Christiana was approached by the Time Lords with an offer to join their cause and, with nary a thought, readily accepted.Follow our Adventures at http://www.skystormonline.com_______________________________ ____________________________ (This page is maintained and edited by John Wilson.
