Roderick Lincoln/Behind the Scenes

During production of the comic, a lot goes on behind the scenes in regards to planning and design, which often go through multiple stages before resulting in the final version that is published in pages. Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.
== Character Basis ==
Roderick Lincoln alludes to Rhydderch the Generous. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:
* Rhydderch the Generous's sword was named Dyrnwyn - "Whitehilt" - while Roderick's weapon is named Redhilt.
** When drawn by a worthy or well-born man, Dyrnwyn would blaze with fire. Redhilt is imbued with Fire Dust, causing it to erupt into flames on command.
** Rhydderch was never reluctant to hand Dyrnwyn weapon to anyone. Roderick handed his weapon to his sister Robin when sacrificing his life to protect her and their family.
== Emblem ==
Roderick's symbol is a stylised flaming sword, red in colour. This reflects both his own weapon, Redhilt, and the weapon used by his character basis, Rhydderch Hael.Category:Behind the Scenes
