Pre-legendary Knights IV by Anonfox93
Normally what I do for the Pre-legendary knights is give them a light description of their appearance and occupation usually trying to incorporate different cultures as well, to make it seem like they come from different civilizations. But I leave for lore absent so that anyone can fill in whatever they feel matches the characters. However, I have no idea how to design the appearance of the remaining characters so I thought this time I would do the opposite, writing some lore and letting Aekashics decide how they should look. Foreteller Dalton: Being a foreteller was nothing special, after all every nation had their own seers to predict the future events or disasters that may come to pass. But Dalton was different as not only could he see visions of the future they were also fluid, he could see the different paths or potential futures that would emerge from making different choices. And thus, he knew his entire life he would have and all possible choices he could make. But there was one particular path that interested him the most. In this one path, he could not see the entire future that lay before him, however it would only happen if he chose to accept an request from 3 knights who visited him today. Demigod Regulus: No one knew who Regulus’s parents were or which one of them was a god or which god it was, but the status of his divinity was never questioned. Since he was a young child, Regulus could do extraordinary things no other man could do. But the true extent of his abilities would not come into view until the day his adopted parents were threatened with execution by the land’s ruler. To win their freedom, Regulus performed many labors for the monarch, from capturing the Hoarfrost Hind to cleaning the Behemoth stables in a day, even battling a Titan to procure the Heart of Gaia. Once all of the labors were done, the king was impressed and happily freed his parents from judgement. After everything was settled the king asked Regulus to complete one final task. The king asked Regulus to rid him of an arrogant mage and knight who come into the country and had refused to show fealty to the king. Regulus left swiftly to dispose of king’s enemies. This would be the first time in Regulus’s legend that his knees would touch the ground in defeat and the last time he would be known as Demigod Regulus, rising instead as Regulus the Legendary Knight. Xoer: Whatever the heck Xoer is, whether it is a spirit or incarnation of vengeance, a demon or a legendary hero who was sealed away.
Since I was given free reign with these designs, I worked with anonfox's lore and arrived to these designs! For Demigod I wanted a muscular warrior, not relaying good nor evil in his overall expression, capable of heroic feats as the ones listed, For Dalton I wanted a mage who was also just as capable in a non-mystic fight! He has a bit of a necromancer samurai (Necrosamurai haha) vibe to him!
Regarding Xoer's identity, he is the spirit who resides within the sword Michael wields, and which is still with him even as a legendary knight.

When Michale fuses with the spirit we arrive at Skull Knight Xoer who definitely has more evil tendencies!

Glad to hear that! We got Anonfox's suggestion to than for that!
What I love about these is that when you look at the sprite it isn't just one bland character. Like you can feel a story that comes from the art and that's what makes these great. Totally downloading when I get home. :D
