Inktober 2019 - Day 4: The Morning Star

"There's just something about her that makes my heart race. I don't know if it's her amber eyes, her curly golden locks, or her wonderful good-hearted nature. She's perfect, I want her so bad. Queen Ataria Goldwing the Morning Star has stolen my heart and I can only hope that I'm able to steal her's."                - Lawrence Riverdale

Everyone, please rise for the Queen of the Winged Elves because she has arrived! So, this is a sneak peek of Queen Ataria aka the woman who Lawrence has had a crush on every since they were children. Don’t worry the feelings are mutual for she is also smitten by him but also to shy to say anything.

Ataria is the same age as Lawrence, being younger by only a month or two. She’s the youngest queen in Winged Elf history and this is due to the fact that her parents had passed away. Her father had died or illness, while her mother was assassinated during the signing of a peace treaty with a Tiefling king. 

She is a very kind and gentle soul who wants nothing but the safety and happiness of her people. She also strives to keep the peace in her kingdom, not wanting to get them involved in any sort of grave conflict. Despite the sadness she holds in her heart over the loss of her parents, Ataria does a great job at being queen or she would if a certain right hand lady *cough*Silvyr*cough* could stand to let her make more choices instead of using her as a puppet. Yes, Lawrence’s mother would still be the right hand lady of the Queen and due to the fact that Ataria is still young and a bit naive, she takes advantage of that to make things go her way. However don’t fret, it won’t be like that forever and we will see Silvyr get what she deserves.

More will be revealed about her when she gets an official ref sheet, though since she’s more of a side character, you’ll probably have to wait awhile for that. Or not because I do love designing and can be pretty fast at it. XD

Meet Tomsky Creed- the Goliath Dragonborn hybrid who has so much confidence it almost boarders cockiness at times. He’s definitely quite the unique individual and though he may not be the most literate out there, he definitely can bring it in a fight. He’s about 37 years old- so he’s in him very late teenage years and gonna be entering young adult years soon in Goliath standards. 

A very nice, happy guy- always taking care of his friends and will try to destroy anything that lays a hand on them. Very competitive due to his Goliath heritage and is always trying to surpass even his own accomplishments. He’s very confident in himself but it sometimes turns into straight up cockiness. Though some of these traits are good motivators for pushing him forward- a Goliath’s competitive nature can push them to bite off more than they can chew. However, luckily he has his friends to pull back on his reins whenever he starts going to far. 

His confidence though is actually a mask to hide the stress of the expectations his tribe has for him. His nickname in the tribe is “Dovahkiin” due to what he is and because they believe him to have the strength and soul of a mighty dragon. They believe that he can do so much for the tribe and maybe one day fight to be chief. Even when he was a child, his mother paraded him like he was the best thing to ever walk the earth. However, these expectations were a bit much for Tomsky and thus caused him to start traveling on his own with a goal to become stronger. After all- it’s hard to keep up with everyone and the expectations they have for you when your the smallest in the tribe.

Despite not having the best formal education Tomsky is quite smart in other things. This includes navigation, history on the lands, heavy fighting techniques, as well as be able to read & write 3 different languages (Common, Giant, and Draconic). Knowing all this has proven to be more than useful in his nomadic lifestyle and been a great help while traveling with his other three companions (Luma, Lawrence, and Nori). 

Some abilities and skills he has includes...

- Fire Breath (Range of 35 to 40 ft.)

- Enhanced Agility and Strength

- Able to be acclimated to high altitudes (Up to 20,000 ft.)

- Resistant to Cold Weather

His muscles are so tough they feel like stone, as it is with most Goliaths, and he’s able to do quite a bit of damage with just his hands alone. When it comes to weapons, he always goes for his trusty morning star or a great sword. That morning star of his has gotten him through many fights and it was a gift from his mother on his 20th birthday. On the battlefield, Tomsky is without a doubt one of the biggest forces to be reckoned with. His immense strength does wonders in close combat and his breath weapon gives him the ability to range attack as well, covering a large area in his flames.

He definitely shows more Goliath traits than Dragonborn. However, he does have very noticeable dragon-like traits such as his eyes and his red scales. Said scales are on the side of his face, and also are on his arms and legs where its way more Dragonborn like (hands to elbows, feet to knees). When he gets angry or very happy, you can see the glow of his embers underneath the scales of his face and some on the upper part of his cheeks. He also has retractable claws on his hands and he also has short claws on his toes.

He has a girlfriend- a halfling named Serena whom he’s been with for many years. Her father isn’t exactly fond of him but he’s working on it to gain his favor so he can marry Serena when the day comes he proposes to her.

YAAASSS! I’ve worked on his design for MONTHS and now it’s finally done and I’m so excited to reveal him to everyone!!! And with his release that means that all of Squad S is now out! Next up is Squad A with the other half of the main characters for “The Great Magic War.” UWU

REEEE! Have a sneak peek at the next character for “The Great Magic War”

Okay so- continuing some more things for TGMW and as you can see I’m working on the design for another characters.

This is Tomsky Creed and he’s....an interesting character in terms of looks. He’s a Goliath-Dragonborn hybrid and I can’t believe I did such a thing to myself because I’m struggling. XD Though at the same time it’s always good to have a challenge.

If anyone has any suggestions or tip on how I should continue going about Tomsky’s design- don’t hesitate to tell me. ;w;
