my entry for @twisted-tech 's mermay event!

I quite like how it turned out and it was pretty fun to draw! my boy is looking quite cute!

Laur's merform is inspired by the pike! I think it fits him well.

Introducing: Laur Dafin!

"You seem to be up to something. Mind if I join you?"

Close Up

Information

Personality

Laur is more of a laidback kind of person. He spends most his time exploring the campus, reading and watching people get into trouble. Who knows, he might even join them!

Laur enjoys joking and messing around with people! Sometimes he’ll just pop up out of nowhere just to scare his friends… or as a warning to whoever might be on his “enemies” list.

Beware of the well in the courtyard! Way too many students went there to make a wish or enjoy some peace and quiet only to be met with a certain fae.

Laur is also willing to help out students that might be bothered by other students. Might be a one time kind of occurrence, but if one befriends him, he will take them under his wing and make sure no one messes around with his friends! And if someone does… well all he needs to know is who dared do something like that.

Unique Magic

Incantation:

If a treasure’s what you want,

My conditions you must follow

If you’re able to withstand.

Otherwise… It’s all Fool’s Gold!

Laur’s unique magic only works in creating inanimate objects. The way the spell works is similar to a bet. The requester only forfeits the price for the created objects if they fail to follow the conditions set. The requester’s failure also causes the objects to disappear into thin air.

After the request is made and the terms and payment are discussed, Laur begins the incantation. As he does, a lock, key and a chain appear.

The lock is closed using the key and the chain reaches towards the requester. These objects disappear once the incantation is done and the requested item is provided.

The amount of magic used is highly dependent on the number of objects conjured and/or the size of the object(s).

Laur’s Unique Magic is hereditary, being passed down through the generations.

Background

Mostly inhabited by fae, with the occasional human village, the Iron Gates are located in one of Briar Valley’s…well… valleys. A huge river flows though there, parting the province in two. Sheer forests can be found on both banks. Territories there are under the protection of many different kinds of fae, sometimes humans too.

In times past if a human happened to end up there, they would be subjected to many a fetch quests. From the sky to the water below you wouldn’t have been able to find even one small corner where a fae wasn’t trying to trick a human into doing something for them. Some of the more magical residents would even help along the way.

Hey! Don't humans always tell stories where the protagonist goes on a "hero's journey"? Well, why not try one of your own if you ever visit? At this point in time it is a bit of an inside joke between the residents, who many times send their own children on those “journeys”.

Usually people just do their own thing in the province. Though, the Dafin family is regarded as minor nobility and as some sort of rulers, mostly only stepping up as leaders when needed.

Laur’s home, better said castle, is located in the river flowing through the valley, in a similar manner to how Octavinelle is located underwater.

Extra

Why does Laur hate chewing gum? Have you tried chewing gum with shark-adjacent teeth? Not a fun experience.

Laur is ambidextrous, though there are things he can only do with one of his hands and not the other. For example, he can write only with his right hand.

When something happens to his detriment it usually gets resolved pretty quickly and favorably. Things just work out for Laur.

He’s only 176 cm if you count his horns, otherwise he’s around 170 cm tall.

Although he’s in Savanaclaw, Laur doesn’t have much of an interest in the physical activities his dormmates engage in. And no, he’s not waking up at the crack of dawn for Spelldrive practice. If you want him on the field you’ll have to drag him the whole way. And even then, he’d just perform poorly or not at all just so he can get kicked out of the game.

Laur hates hot weather because his scales feel dry when the atmosphere gets suffocating. So, he wasn’t exactly thrilled to be sorted in Savanaclaw. That waterfall is a lifesaver.

Laur’s dislike for salt water stems from it being very uncomfortable for him. Just like hot weather, salt water makes his scales feel dry but also sticky. Breathing in salt water is also very hard for him.

Laur, has been able to stay underwater (freshwater) for a whole day at most! He’s quite proud of that.

Fishing is just a nice, chill thing to do. Laur makes and scavenges for the bait he uses.

Laur is a semiaquatic draconic fae.

As an only child he is expected to take over his father’s role in the province.

well... Happy Birthday to my boy! I didn't think I'd make something for Laur's birthday and it's not the twst version, but... oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (I finished this drawing like 2 minutes before the day ended)

since there's a small tradition here for the 1st of March (the gifting of trinkets tied with a red and white string), I thought I should dress my boy up as a chimney sweeper since they are said to bring good luck (and were a common trinket to be gifted).

I wish all of you a beautiful spring!
