Meet Adam. You might’ve heard of him before. As in the Bible, Adam is the first man, and Ha-Shem creates him and assigns him to exercise global dominion, especially by naming the world’s creatures.
However, because the world of Eretz is shaped by linguistics, the “Milhamah” Adam differs from the biblical account in several ways, based on the roots in the אדם shoresh family.
For example, Adam is not only made from the dust of the earth. Based on the אדם shoresh root, his body also continues to take on elements of clay, soil and stone, and he has the ability to manipulate earth. The same root gives him the power to heat his body to red-hot temperatures — hence his ability to wear fire around his waist for stylistic modesty!
He has other powers too. In the “Milhamah” world, Adam was the first Evaluator of Names, a title that our protagonist Shem ‘Etzem strives to live up to. The אמד shoresh gives Adam his evaluation powers, which are similar to Shem’s in the latter’s holy form. When Adam is evaluating targets, his eyes shine like the Odem ruby he wears around his neck, and his vision has jewel-like clarity to determine the true nature of things.
Lastly, gaining dominion of Eretz has made Adam very rich, thanks to the מאד shoresh root. And that root also gives him the power to multiply his strength by many times.
So yeah, Adam is OP. His role in “Milhamah” may be a bit of a mystery, but the comic and franchise will explain more in the months and years to come!
Comic update
I’ve been hard at work making a bunch of new characters who will be revealed in the next comic update. I’ll preview each one here as I work on them, hopefully one per week. While an actual comic update for at least four to six weeks, I’ll continue to add more content in the weeks ahead. It’ll be worth the wait!
Zimri Remez is my Day 2 character for “Milhamah: Fighting Words” Inktober 2020!
Zimri represents the demonstrative part of speech. As such, he is a second-string member who’s an assistant to the pronoun, Kena’an Kinnui. Zimri thrives in mystery, communicating to his closest confidants through subtle winks and gestures.
Zimri’s shoresh family is זמר. He’s a musician at heart who loves to jam on his his chief weapon, a stoplight shawm instrument that sprays fluid that stinks like rotten eggs. He also loves to sing with his pet nightingale.
All in all, he’s a bacchanal figure with mountain goat horns, and he loves to eat off the vine and sleep under the stars. But in desperate times, will Shem ‘Etzem be willing to take a hint and form an alliance? 
Meet Millah Millit, my first Inktober sketch of 2020. Based on the מלל shoresh root, she is a core member of the Holy Tongue Society who represents the particle among the parts of speech. She is a spontaneous chatterbox who is innocent, naive and likes to dress like a frilly magical girl — while wielding a giant knife that imposes critical damage on men. She has a talking dumpling as a sidekick.
Millah will appear later in Issue #3. Look forward to more Inktober characters in the days ahead! 
Perhaps a camel can’t go through the eye of a needle, but can a “qof” monkey like Qop?
In Milhamah, Qop is the representative of the letter qof (ק), which is basically the letter Q in our alphabet. He’s a crazy ape who vibrates dizzily to loud music all day while pretending to be Adam’s big-shot producer in the Garden of Eden. His real job is to extract special shoresh roots from the earth with the eye of his giant needle, which can convert into an ax if necessary. His attributes are based on the shoresh root קוף and its larger
