Buddy is a rouge for a few reasons, most of those being the snippet of his past we see during the Mermaid arc, and the fact that he represents the villain key. Him being a warlock is due to the fact that he was transformed against his will. The villain key (or equivalent of them in my au) is also who Nox has a "pact" with in some sense, or at least who he gets his powers from.

Whether or not the actual person who originally had those abilities is still alive is up for debate.

The moon imagery in his design is also a callback to the fact that he was the villain key in the webtoon, (and has some representation of that in this au)

While Nox typically uses magic to get things done, he also has a Dagger and Rapier if he needs to get into physical combat.

Nox also does still work with Violet very closely, as her magic focuses more on transformations and helps Nox to blend in with the rest of the party while they travel. With her object form being a jeweled chocker Nox hides under the collar of his shirt

As for Nox's object form, he'd be a small but deadly weapon akin to a dagger or sickle

Also, a small fun fact, despite having drawn him with ice magic each time he uses magic, he doesn't actually have any ice spells in dnd beyond. I thought this was funny upon realizing this. Take this information as you will.

I'm also changing some of the prior explained lore on silver, with each key having both unique and similar abilities that they specialize in! For Silver she focuses mostly on healing, which does include resurrection to some extent. I'll go more in depth about the keys lore once I start on their designs

(But if you want a funfact or two on them, my ask box is always open :3)

Some extra photos of Nox with and without the cloak!
