@CT the comic pages I posted were from a comic pitch I made over 5 years ago... I reused general aspects of those two characters, but the story and overall universe are not the same.
Yes, exactly, they are the prototypes of (the looks of) characters in the game.
Maybe they even share some personality quirks and whatnot. Even if they're completely different, the three strips
still show that you have been lugging Rook + Co around with you for years now - before finally finding a home for them. I say, for a fan that is a pretty interesting tidbit.
(Also, it fleshes out
your character a little bit. So far, you are the one thing representing the game. Presenting yourself is part of PR. If the Backers get to know you a tiny bit better then they'll be more comfortable with sharing your project with others. You needn't build up a personality cult or anything, just remember that your average Kickstarter has no clue who you are. For all they know you could be a bum leeching Wifi off a McD with a stolen Laptop, a bitter industry veteran, a naive University student fresh off the presses or whatever else... here on neogaf, you are more or less a known entity, at the very least we can rummage through your posting history, see what's on your profile or take note of/ask people that have interacted with you. On kickstarter, you are just one of many faceless devs. Not like everyone is a stalker, just saying, is all.)
