Babylon Five Chess

shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
If someone was to make a B5 character based chess set...

Which piece would be which character ??

We have dark and light but I have no idea who to cast in which place ?

to make it easier heres a simple table, quote it and fill it in as you see fit. :)

White pawns =
White Rooks (castle) =
White Knights (Horse) =
White Bishops =
White Queen =
White King =

~~~~

Black pawns =
Black Rooks (castle) =
Black Knights (Horse) =
Black Bishops =
Black Queen =
Black King =

I'm struggling to be fair and also fill the board. I'm thinking that rather than try and use specfic characters its better to use particular races, but its still difficult to fill the ranks. Morden for instance certainly is human, (or atleast a human reprogrammed for evil), and he certainly doesn't belong on the side of light,(white).

so I went like this :

White pawns = Vree
White Rooks (castle) = Drazi
White Knights (Horse) = Narns
White Bishops = Human
White Queen = Minbari
White King = Vorlon

~~~~

Black pawns = Dilgar
Black Rooks (castle) = Drakh
Black Knights (Horse) =
Black Bishops =
Black Queen = Centari
Black King = Shadow

    White pawns = Starfury
    White Rooks (castle) = Kosh
    White Knights (Horse) = Marcus/Ranger

    Black Rooks (castle) = Shadow
    Black Knights (Horse) = Shadow Fighter
    Black Bishops = Battlecrab
    Black Queen = Mr Morden
    Black King = Z'ha'dum

    The ships and planet would be on stands so they dont fall over or roll away, I would imagine the Z'ha'dum piece rolling off would make it difficult to play.

    If this is B5 chess, shouldn't it be green and purple instead of black and white?
