The designs for Frozen AU Cross and Epic! We have our Kristoff and Sven now!!!!
Okay so unlike Kristoff, Cross and Epic are hunters, they hunt in the woods. When Nightmare runs away to the woods, he causes the animals to act weird (which is where these two come in to help Dream find Nightmare)
Cross and Epic meant when they were very young, and have been inseparable since. When they were young they accidentally stumbled upon the Xtale people. They took the two in and raised them.
Epic thought it'd be funny to wear the antlers of one of his hunts, and for some reason people just genuinely think Epics a reindeer when they see him. Because people just genuinely think Epic's a reindeer, Cross often looks like he's just talking to himself/ an animal.
Epic is mute; he doesn't not talk at all, but Cross knows Epic well enough that he just knows what Epic would say. So he'll talk like normal, and then think of what Epic would say, try and think Kristoff and Sven.
But, when Cross starts getting overly emotional, he'll end up just making things up, or guessing wrong.
Also here's baby epic and cross being adopted by xtale (the bolder trolls) (epics anters are made of sticks rn because he's way to young to hunt anything that big) :
