SO HEY, now that I’m taking new Angels, I thought it’d be fun to draw up some new ones myself! Just like last time, I decided to draw up some guys I’d only mentioned briefly before, as well as one or two totally new friends! From left to right, we’ve got Luhton’iko’vidtekt, Kivas, Farnay, Kuso N’vos, Taumde Jolkirk, Belmigna Brik, and Juvrohk Dhandte!
All in all, these were super fun to design (I mean, hell, Devaronians always are for me), and I’m excited to develop them as characters more as time goes on! What do you guys think, though? Would you want me to develop any of these guys more? Do you have a favorite in the set? Do you think I should just get on with all the new Angels people have made and stop making new ones myself for once? Let me hear your feedback! :D
Just like last time, brief backstory blurbs for each of them are below the cut:
Luhton’iko’vidtekt (who usually goes by his core name Onikov, or just Oni) is a half-Chiss daredevil and stuntman turned fighter pilot, who joined the Angels after being arrested by the Empire for a failed stunt that “allegedly” blew up an Imperial munitions factory. He’s reckless, daring, and he’s probably been hit in the head one too many times, but nevertheless, Oni is more than happy to use his skills as a pilot for something productive, rather than simple self-destruction.
Kivas and Farnay are a pair of mechanics from Tikaroo, who joined the Angels after their shop, their home, and their whole city were burned to the ground in a vicious Imperial attack (which is a story I’m gonna write up soon). Originally, despite Farnay’s insistence on them joining, Kivas despised the Angels, thinking of them as nothing more than hooligans stirring up trouble where there needn’t be any. However, after losing his wife and most of what he owns to the Empire’s ruthlessness, he and his daughter now help to maintain the Angels’ ships and weapons so, in return, they can get bring justice to Devaron once more.
(Also, full disclosure, I’m borrowing Kivas and Farnay from a canon young readers’ book, since I don’t think they’ll be featured much more in canon and, really, they just fit so well into the Angels’ story :D)
Kuso N’vos was a private in the Devaronian Army, who followed her general, Markhor’sai’Malloc, when he and many of the soldiers under his command defected to the Angels. A talented sniper, strategist, and writer in her spare time, Kuso often struggled with the feeling that she was fighting on the wrong side, yet now she’s confident that, by helping the Angels, she’s contributing to a better future for Devaron.
Taumde Jolkirk (affectionately called “The Gravedigger” by his squadmates and “Tommy” by his wife, Belmigna) is a former Devaronian army soldier who joined the Angels a year or two after the cell was formed. A survivor by all accounts, Taumde’s fame came when he, during one of Devaron’s off-world campaigns, fought his way back to base using only a shovel (hence his signature weapon and his nickname), and now he uses his military expertise, strategic knowledge, and surprisingly lethal shovel to help free his home from tyranny.
Belmigna Brik is one of the Angels’ medics, who joined the cell after the school she worked at (a private school in Montellian Serat) was shut down for supposedly spreading anti-Imperial ideals. Before she was a school nurse, Bel served with the old republic’s Refugee Relief Movement (RRM), where she learned how best to treat wounded soldiers and civilians alike. Now, she uses that knowledge to help the Angels, and for once, she can take pride in her work and the soldiers she’s treating.
Juvrohk Dhandte is a member of Hes’s elite Archangel Squadron, where he fills multiple roles as a demolitions expert, strategist, and even negotiator on occasion. Originally a poor sulfur miner in Tikaroo working to support his younger siblings, Juvrohk joined the Angels after leading a semi-successful revolt against the Imperials who sought to enslave him and his fellow miners. He’s strong, proud, and fiercely dedicated to building a better Devaron for him and his friends.
