Having to draw three animal faces for this row was Not Great. Especially when I checked my list (I like to keep myself in the dark so I'm not excited and/or full of dread for too long) and saw the double gut punch of Anoki and Pippa. Anyway, I'm just glad to be done with them.

Getting to draw Silas was a ton of fun, though. Pretty obvious he's my favorite, getting his own, highly detailed lab to chill in:)

Date- Cecilia-, Rigby-, Eluard-, Warek-, Tidus-, Satrana-, Anoki?

Cecilia – Her job doesn't allow her to enter a relationship.

Rigby – I don't date alcoholics.

Eluard – I'll be honest with you, I can't find any reason not to date him if the church allows him to.

Warek – A friend once said he looked like Handsome Squidward and I can't unsee it.

Satrana – For one, she's a kid, for two, she'd probably set my stuff on fire.

Anoki – Massive daddy issues. Understandable but please get therapy before getting a relationship.

Tidus is here!

24 – Anoki

Backstory: Anoki's father was the highest ranking member of an elite group of warriors protecting the Grand Chieftain – the Blood Guard. The position carried with it great respect but greater responsibility. Upon being lured into an ambush, most of the Blood Guard was slaughtered along with the Grand Chieftain but Anoki's father made it out alive. The Grand Chieftain's death didn't remain without consequences and in-fighting soon broke out among the tribes, putting a heavy weight on the bull's shoulders. Eventually, it became too much for him. Handing his war horn over to Anoki was the ultimate act of defeat. Anoki had spent years trying to investigate the ambush and the circumstances leading up to it but the situation proved more complicated than he knew. He did, however, manage to prove himself worthy to the rest of the former Blood Guard and brought them back together, pledging loyalty to the new Grand Chieftain.

Class: Tank

Personal opinion: Though I don't mind him as much as some of the other Maulers, I still wouldn't say I exactly care about him. He had to shoulder a lot when he was very young and I hold respect for him for that but it's hardly enough to make me catch some actual feelings. It could also just be that I don't vibe with his design but I try to keep my feelings on that and his backstory separate. He's pretty useful to have if he's decently built up, which sadly mine isn't, so there's that.

Headcanon: Though a Mauler and a warrior, Anoki is far from being as obsessed with physical performance as he could be. A lot of this comes from his friendship with Skriath but I don't think he would enforce some of the more cruel of the Mauler traditions. It's said he went through torture under his father's "training" but I don't think he would ever wish that on anyone else. His whole character is more about reclaiming what was lost and protecting what is than enforcing doctrines.
