This is a new “series” where we’ll introduce characters of The Waking Cloak!

This is a new “series” where we’ll introduce characters of The Waking Cloak! First up is the player character, **Tav**! *An orphan who stows away on a refugee ship, Tav doesn’t feel at home anywhere. His only possessions are the clothes on his back and his mother’s mysterious staff. And even his one hope of finding a home across the sea is dashed when the ship wrecks on a dark island…*<br> The old version is the original design my brother and I worked on. One of the very first sprites we did (if not the first), and he moved to the final version pretty quickly since we had to spend so much time staring at him in the prototypes. :) <br> **Fun fact:** Tav used to be named Beck. Unfortunately, after we had decided on naming him Beck, a [certain game came out that *also* had a protagonist named Beck](http://mightyno9.wikia.com/wiki/Beck). Even with more or less the same colors! :O Tav was nameless for about a year.

First up is the player character, Tav!

An orphan who stows away on a refugee ship, Tav doesn’t feel at home anywhere. His only possessions are the clothes on his back and his mother’s mysterious staff. And even his one hope of finding a home across the sea is dashed when the ship wrecks on a dark island…

The old version is the original design my brother and I worked on. One of the very first sprites we did (if not the first), and he moved to the final version pretty quickly since we had to spend so much time staring at him in the prototypes. :)

Fun fact: Tav used to be named Beck. Unfortunately, after we had decided on naming him Beck, a certain game came out that also had a protagonist named Beck. Even with more or less the same colors! :O Tav was nameless for about a year.
