Dragon Core Hexer

"Many years of dragonslaying have bathed this huntress in countless amounts of blood. Each drop gave her more power, but at a terrible price, as her cursed body now spreads the dragontaint like an epidemic. No village will take her in, and she no longer even remembers what inspired her crusade in the first place."

Driven by the anguish of losing her entire village to dragons, the solemn hunter has become a terrifying force of terrible, living vengeance. Her armor has become a twisted and corrupted reflection of its former self, encasing her forever. I love the implication from her flavor text that it’s the blood of all the dragons she’s killed that has tainted and changed her armor (and her sword. And herself) into what it looks like now: ultra jagged and bulky and all around just more dragonic, as if all that spilled dragon blood is turning her into one. Her sword isn’t free from the corruption either, and the deep nicks in the blade illustrate really well just how long she’s been on her manic dragon slaying spree. I just wish the horrifying dragon ghosts filling the background were either more visible or distinct against the background. As they are now, they’re fairly easy to completely miss, especially compared to how bold Dragon Core Hexer herself is.
