um, i duno if you can also choose one of the 5 nations but anyway, he belongs to Hordaine, a warrior under queen Vadrithe. Like his domestic queen he was once a commoner, tuned to hardship and sacrifice. his name is whatever you decide it to be.

queen Vadrithe had an eagle fixture on her flag stick, so that was part of my inspiration for the design.

i wanted the warrior design to have some sorta symbolic meaning and also reflect the character's nature. it is simple and muted, solemn and tamed by war but belying strength and courage of heart. the eagle emblem and slim spear represent swiftness and true to strike. unlike usual capes, his is made of black tulle, which is translucent, but mostly so because it is untaintable (by bloodshed/evil). and amid the subdued hues, the jewel at his heart shines bright red, a symbol of his purity in the midst of an impure battlefield.

no fancy backdrop or anything, just wanted to make the character stand out....but i...am SO worried ;__; would this win..or at least get into top 25..i think im wanting it so bad. finally looking at the other entries, i think im in a bit of a pinch oTL;;
will try to up my game...somehow...amidst work T.T
