Fleshing out Sxorr's character a little more, have some fun poses.
Extra character tidbits below
He's a fan of Metal Legion. Initially, he listened to them to annoy his mother, but grew to genuinely enjoy their music. It's edgy! He's also upset they disbanded.
He's obsessed with crystals. Jade technology fascinates him, and he is determined to obtain more for reverse engineering to understand what makes Canthan jade such a great magi-battery. He dreams of incorporating even a sliver of Aurene's brand into his cloaking body suit, which currently runs on a rudimentary prototype of his current crystal theorems.
His current stash of jade tech is small, having been acquired through less than legal means. Legitimate import fees and scarcity due to the Canthan jade energy crisis made it unaffordable with his current bank (that, and he's heard that human trade bureaucracy is somehow worse than the Colleges').
His mother, Xiintra, is a golemancer who supplies special golem units to Rata Sum's security forces- mainly the Arcane Eye. Militaristic, uptight, and loyal to the Arcane Council, she's everything Sxorr aspires not to be. Her relationship with her son is strained, and she makes it very clear that she views Sxorr's little 'rebellion' as an ugly mark on her otherwise flawless and upstanding records. Regardless, she tries to keep in contact with him, if only to get him back under control.
Sxorr is 19ish as of SoTO. He had been a student of the College of Synergetics before he decided to drop out during the events of the Icebrood Saga. The attack on Rata Sum shook him enough to reassess his life priorities, and he took the chance to bail when his mother was too preoccupied with combating the dragons to notice.
Pink is his favourite colour. He will fight you over it.
alga doodles because their face is tricky and i'm hardly ever happy with it after the inks are done. they aren't outwardly emotive most of the time.
hmmm this is the obnoxious captions zone so let's do some facts.
mainly used their mesmer abilities for magitech engineering before HoT, rarely fought with magic-- only for emergency escapes and the like
"knives" first manifested in verdant brink as wonky shards, refined in shape/stability over the years
weaponsmith of the group (and also my actual weaponsmith lol)
prolific and extremely chaotic notebook-filler
frog-lookin mfer
"Aren't you really just someone pretending to be the commander?"
Did I turn a joke line from Cloudseeker into angst development for my commander? Yes, yes I did.
I imagine being the Commander slowly became less of a privilege and more of a performance art over the years. When you've felled Elder Dragons, Gods, Liches and all manners of infallible beings, people start to think of you as one of them.
But you love them so much, you don't have the heart to betray their expectations. So you keep pretending you've got it all under control.
And the more vulnerable you feel- the more weak you are- the less you feel like the Commander. Right now? You're nobody.
