First Heralds
Here is my take on the first ever Heralds of Gorm
(The Gacha designs are like two years old but the drawings are from tonight)
Ásta Ívarr- Herald of Ice
She/ her
Born a noblewoman, or what was perceived as noble at the time, daughter of a member of a guild ,which was essentially the first ever royal guards of the realm entirely, who died when she was a teen. Ásta built her way to the top and became the best spear-woman in the Ice realm, winning tournaments, and catching the eye of the Gormiti Lord Trition. She was guided to the One Tower where she and the other future heralds meet their lords and are presented with the bracers. When she returned to the ice realm she was recognized as a leader with her herald title and she became the first monarch and Queen of the Ice.
Like her descendent Ikor, Ásta is precise, intelligent and always believes it best to think before you act, but she is also caring of her loved ones. Though she does let herself become impulsive now and again the other heralds help her through it. To Trition she was a surrogate daughter. She at time freezes her heart so she can fight without pause, after what happened to her parent ( it was unclear if it was her mother or her father who worked for the guild), but it does eventually melt once again at the warmth of her new friends.
Baishan Isi- Herald of Fire
He/him
Born in what was the slums in the early times. Baishan was an orphan who lived in a dystopian type Fire Realm, riddled with chaos and corruption because there was no ruler just rival clans and cities. His parents were killed by stray fire blast in a battle. He nearly lost his eye when he was caught in the middle of a gang war (wrong place wrong time) and was injured and eventually taken in by a young woman named Ohana Isi at around 15. He got separated from her though and then was guided to the One Tower where he became herald. With his newfound power Baishan united his realm, reunited with Ohana and the realm pledged their loyalty to him as the new and first Fire King.
Due to his childhood, Baishan became a bit ill tempered. But with that upbringing though, he became extremely adaptable. He was very skilled and talented, mastering things with ease. He refused to be put down (especially by Ásta) and is also incredibly stubborn. He is also fiercely protective of his loved ones due to his PTSD and fear of loss. This is why he's also unknowingly clingy. Keryon always looked out for him and Baishan started seeing his lord as a surrogate father.
Tariq “Taj” Ammar
He/they
Being the youngest son out of five sons and the second youngest out of eight children of a Rock village Chief, Taj was often ignored or put to the side, always in the shadows of his brothers and sisters. Because of this he often acted out in attempts of rebellion. This only caused more of a rift between him and his father, and one day after a rather heated argument, Taj left. Then was when he was guided to the One tower with the other heralds by the Lords.
Despite him being a sweetheart and being a big teddy bear, Taj has a chaotic fighting style that does clash with Titiano's more grounded style but they make it work. Like Trek, Taj is the back of the four and was usually the most levelheaded, being the mediator in most arguments. Being in such a large family, he sees the other heralds as siblings and the Lords as uncles.
Jia Heng- The Herald of Wind
They/them
They are the most mysterious herald as their backstory and childhood is shrouded in mystery. All that is really known about them is that they were a part of an order of mages and sorcerers that tried to keep peace in the wind realm. Already extremely powerful on their own, they were gifted with a blessed staff staid to give its user vitality . They are also partially mute and would only really talk if they could.
Despite their mysterious nature, Jia was a very bubbly and carefree person, like Erron, always providing comfort and encouragement for their friends. Even so, they can be very serious and scary in battle. They gave off a mystic vibe. Helios loves them and they are very close. They were also the only one who knew how to communicate with One Tower, and how they could even Jia didn't know.
The four were known as the First Elemental Heralds in Gorm history and paved the way for generations of Gormiti heralds to come. They were the best of friends from now and for sure are still into their afterlives.
Im getting back into this small fandom sooo hard this show has so much lore potential
