Blair's Armor

Share

Hello everyone! today I want to present the first design for Blair, with his base armor.

I also wanted to tell you part of his backstory.


"In the shadows of the ancient lands of Efraim, a mystery unfolds beneath the pale light of forgotten stars. There, amidst the whispers of century-old trees and the mist that writhes like serpents in the night, emerges Blair, a dark elf whose destiny is woven with threads of magic and enigma.


Since her adolescence, Blair has delved into the arcane secrets of a little-known sect, whose powers echo even in the darkest corners of Efraim. It was not by choice, but by a twist of fate that an adept, with eyes like extinguished suns, saw in her immense potential, a spark of greatness in the darkness.


Blair, with a mind as sharp as crystal and a will as unbreakable as steel, devoted herself to the study of magic. In the silence of ancient libraries, amongst scrolls whispering forgotten secrets, she learned to weave spells of shadow and light. But it wasn't just magic that captured her heart; a latent love for heroism, fueled by stories of brave knights and impossible feats, led her to wield the sword. Though still a novice in the art of war, her spells of attack and defense already resonated with the promise of emerging power.


In her journey, Blair embodies the duality of light and darkness. Her soul, a battlefield between lovestruck passion and the severity of her learning. With every step, she challenges the limits of her knowledge and heart, forging her path in a world where the ancient and the mysterious intertwine in an eternal embrace."


I would love to get suggestions and ideas, about things Blair could have, like or do. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to tell me about them, so I can add them to the game and the story.

Based on Blair’s latent love for heroism, she could carry around with her books and stories of heroes of old to match all the spell books and scrolls she carries. She could be familiar with expressions relating to old heroes and their struggles (think of “crossing the Rubicon” but you can make your own to match the world of the game. Though thinking about it now it may be difficult to create all-new expressions and hope people understand reading it the first time).

Maybe you could have her inspired to be the next hero that people write about. Or perhaps she carries those romantic fiction novels with her about the big, strong hero saving a damsel in distress and she will be embarrassed if anyone finds out about her guilty pleasure.

I don’t mean to make Blair out to be a bookworm, but it feels like she could be fascinated with stories, especially for epics. It could be that’s what finally got her into the story, otherwise she might still have been learning in libraries and crypts for long-forgotten spells. She has a thirst for adventure.

As for a weapon (if you will be showing those in the pictures), why not have a bejeweled sword, that way she can use it as a traditional sword but also the jewel will act as her magical focus so it’s a very practical weapon no matter what situation she’s in?

Feel free to use any of my suggestions but also don’t feel obligated to use any of them. I like what you’ve shown us so far and I’m looking forward to your next update!
