If this gets viral (more than 10 notes) this is my idea

If this flops this is @katyspersonal 's idea

Well actually it's based on this post as you'd have guessed. GO CHECK IT if you haven't. Absolute wall of fame. Live rent free in my mind.

I hope this guy shows up in Nightreign and I hope it starts biting people while it's there

Speaking of affinities, I am sooooo happy that people liked my point about Artorias and Ciaran possibly having Moon affinity and grey skin ;-; But also I realised something regarding Iron Dragonslayer. Remember how Gwynevere's element is the setting sun rather than day one, and the reflection of it might be the grey found in her hair and eyes?

Looking at the textures of the mane on Dragonslayer's helmet, actually this is also a red + grey!

We are fighting the armour without a guy inside, so the "hair" is not his hair but a decoration! Ornstein does have natural red hair and Iron Dragonslayer imitates his red mane (said to serve both NK and Ornstein in international, but also Ornstein is specified to be authority in Japanese). But although it is not his hair, I think the very fact that he chose to add some greys amongst red might hint at his own affinity!

So yeah! Regardless of what his real hair and eye color is, bro might represent rising sun or setting sun himself!

^^^ Though at first I wondered whether incorporating greys reflected him trying to imitate the dragon like he does with his armour; he did the "to kill Dragons we need to BECOME dragons" before Gnarrl from Elden Ring made it cool shfsdhds But dragonic transformation tends to have this spikey black fur so I don't know :p

+ Another good alternative would be that his decorative hair on helmet combines hair colors of Ornstein and Nameless King, but I still feel like NK's grey hair is just him becoming old dshfhdfds But I can't step on this headcanon. It is cute

Ornstein x Iron Dragonslayer

context: The miracle of Sacred Oath that aids Warriors of the Sunlight symbolises the legendary feats of Gwyn's firstborn, Ornstein and another brave dragonslayer. In a contrast to their superior, Iron Dragonslayer relies on force and large heavy weapon, rather than agility and the weapon demanding high precision. Ornstein might be just in his element with a comrade like this by his side since Smough, his former prominent battle ally, created a similar balance with him.

I love how Smough and Iron Dragonslayer both are unofficial fifth and sixth Gwyn's Knights. Like, they are only part of the team spiritually, but for directly opposite reasons! Smough is truly loyal to Gwyn and his legacy but Gwyn fears his whacky sadism too much to accept him. Meanwhile, Iron Dragonslayer isn't a Gwyn's Knight because they were upfront about being loyal to Nameless King from the start, whereas Ornstein acted like he is actually Team Gwyn and even took his time to leave Gwyndolin to seek NK instead

Having some idea for my Iron Dragonslayer hmm.... the tank/vanguard guy because one of his superior prefers mobility to using shield he lacks muscles and his other superior is too cool to use one
