#aval

he/him

pronounced ah-vahl

from Saventhia

A lava monster

His innards are just lava, aside from his “heart” which is an enchanted piece of lava rock that magically holds him together and keeps him alive. His skin is like cooled lava, but the warmth of the lava inside him glows through cracks

Can break the outer layer of rock apart and generate more lava

It doesn’t burn to touch him as long as the layer of rock is covering him, but he is very warm

Around the size of a Volkswagen Beetle but can make himself bigger if he wants to. He can’t make himself smaller without removing a limb - but he can always grow it back if he wants to. Often has some cooled rock piled up on his left shoulder.

As long as his heart is fine and intact, he can always rebuild himself

Has horns, obsidian teeth and claws, and glowy orange/red eyes

He doesn’t know where he came from and hasn’t met any other lava monsters

For several decades, Aval is asleep in a volcano. He wakes up at the same time the volcano erupts. It’s unclear if his waking up caused the eruption or if the eruption caused him to wake up.

Not a lot of thoughts in his head. He likes to destroy things. Regularly kills creatures that pass his volcano

Easily frustrated and has a quick temper

Very loyal once he decides he likes someone

Hasn’t seen much of the world beyond his volcano

Aval meets Halili (Max’s storm princess) when she is wreaking havoc with a storm and he is wreaking havoc with an eruption. They argue and fight for a while and then Aval gets butthurt and goes to hide in his lava cave

Halili eventually approaches where he lives because she’s bored. Enemies to lovers arc ensues. Halili shows Aval more of the world beyond his volcano

Well because I love Soul Calibur 6 so much I did some doodles of Groh and the character I played in Libra of Souls Velouria.
