I guess its time to stop lurking and start helping.
*Picks up a pen*
Update:
Going with a clericon with darkness/void as his artifact power.
Heres what hes looking like so far. Story below...
Story:
Description:
*A hulking, hooded form enters a clearing where a young boy sits by a fire cooking a small bird for his dinner. The boy looks up startled with fear, as voice begins to speak from behind the dark hood*
Might I join you my child? My apologies, for I meant not to startle you but it is a cold dark night and your camp fire was a most welcoming sight. Long has it been since Ive had the pleasure of company for most do not venture into the forest of Black Trees. So why then do you wonder alone, in the dark and so far from home?
You seek the Wyark? Yes, yes, yes I know of them well, wondrous creatures till their decent into hell. Peaceful and kind, once upon a time then broken and twisted by the fallen divine. A demon of evil and bringer of dark, tricked and deceived the peaceful Wyark. Corrupted and twisted, they fell from grace, now their souls reside here in this horrid place. Bound to these trees they howl for release, for here in the darkness they may find no peace.
So tell me my child why the Wyark you desire, for to come to this place your situation must be most dire
A war you say? Indeed a terrible thing, bringer of darkness and destroyer of things. But to call forth a Wyark is no easy task, and to bind him to your service is quite a big ask.
But having your company has been most grand, and in exchange I have decided I will lend you a hand. To bring forth a Wyark this you must do, think of something of yours that he might want too. Offer this gift by the light of your fire and see if it is something he might desire.
*The boy stands idle for a moment, struggling for an appropriate offering. The hooded voice turns slightly sly.*
To tell you the truth I think its fair to say, that a Wyark would get very hungry bound to his tree all day. I think the food right here by your fire, would be just what a Wyark would desire. So go ahead my young man and do not delay, offer the food, hed welcome it Id say.
*Apprehensively, the boy does as the strange figure suggests. As he finishes the last words of his offering a howling gush of wind rushes into the camp and extinguishes the fire. After a brief moment the wind subsides and the two motionless figures are left silent in the moonlight. A few tense moments pass before a deep, croaking laugh begins to rumble from the hooded figure*
Free
So long have I been bound to this tree, for ever and ages, an eternity! But now young one at last I am free, and it is you I have to thank for releasing me. But now am I bound to your service and this war, and so I shall fight to be free once more. Yet one end of a bargain must have another in kind, and now your end of this pact springs to my mind.
*The boy snatches up the roasted bird on a stick, and offers it to the hulking dark figure*
No no my boy it is not the bird I seek, your flesh and bones would be my treat. You see young one, like me you were tricked, when making deals with the darkness you must be very specific!
*The hulking figure pulls off the robes coving his face, revealing a confused mass of fleshy horror. Behind writhing tentacles a gaping jaw opens wide. The boy shrieks with pure, utter terror as the Wyark grabs him by the waist and shoves him head first into its mouth. The terrified screams are cut short by a wet, muffled crunch
Race: Wyark (Demon)
Class: Clericon
Artifact: Darkness/void
The Wyark were once peaceful creatures, with immense power. Yet the demon, Wyurwenwyark grew jealous of their power and tricked them. He bound them for eternity deep within a plagued forest which they were unable to venture from and spread their peaceful joyfulness. Over time the plagued forest corrupted the trees and in kind the spirits of the Wyark imprisoned within them. They grew vengeful and bitter, lusting to inflict the pain and misery that they suffer on others. Delighting in terror and deceptive by nature, all of their gifts come with a price, yet the price is not always clear
He had potential for the dark force hahaha…but the stalker you choose looks very strong as well, as for the design for the skull; I agree that the one clocked does add more mystery and better flow as well for the animation.
