Here's a wee batch of HK OCs I cooked up for Nirandel. They are a group that participate in a fighting tournament for a relic sword. I'll write a bit about each below, as well as non-shaded versions.
🔷Bauros: Stoic knight from a far land, having landed in Nirandel after strange circumstances. He hasn’t been here long, much like Harrold. He wields a greatsword/ clever and wishes to win the tournament for his own pride. He will claim the sword as his new companion, hoping it may aid him in whatever his adventures entail. He seems unwilling to talk about his ventures, keeping secrets.
He is a victim of Highreign's invasion long ago.
He keeps to himself, and is often found near calm lakes and rivers. Something about the peaceful sounds eases his mind.
🔷Tatiane: Some call her Titan or Tati. Whichever you use may depend on how you view her.
A large flying beetle, wielding a ball and chain. She is not native to Nirandel, but loves the culture despite not having any magical prowess herself. She has lived here for a while now and is familiar with the land. You could call her a cartographer of sorts, helping the local map maker.
She is strong enough to fly while swing her ball and chain with ease, making her a literal wrecking ball. Though she would seem a powerful and formidable warrior, she is extremely friendly and soft on the inside, loves to hug and spend time with others, and gush about her interests.
She enters the tournament for fun and wishes to help Harrold earn him the sword since he seeks it. The two become good friends.
🔷Hercule: A small Nirandel native bug who seems cute but has deadly aim with throwing knives. Wields two daggers and is nimble onl the battlefield. He boasts a mighty blood lust for one so small. His age is a mystery, as he refuses to tell others. His face is bandaged after an accident when he just started his training.
He was made fun of for his small size when he was young, so now he wishes to win the tournament to prove his strength. He does not care for the relic sword but would see it as a trophy.
He can be quite aggressive and rude, most likely a defense mechanism. Perhaps he has some magical prowess hidden as well.
🔷Sori: Silverfish of Nirandel, a sorceress who wishes to compete and show her magical prowess and show the world that there is no use for blades and metal when magic and knowledge is triumphant over all.
She boasts impressive skills, even for the experienced mages of Nirandel, having trained with the Pallid Light Moths extensively. She specializes in explosive magic and alteration magic. Sori can create a duplicate of herself and double up on a fight, though the doppelganger is a distinct colour from herself.
She’s got a bit of an attitude as well, being meaner spirited to others, especially those that don’t use magic. Tatiane's friendliness seems to rub off on her though.
