Moroq

Finally finished this one up. I quite love his new design. Lots of detail for me ><

Name: Moroq
Age: ??? (looks to be about 18-19, but then other times he looks younger. hard to tell really.)
Species: (don't have an exact name yet but...) descendant of a cursed tribe that was known for selling their souls to demons in order to further their control over black magic. All decendants of this race will slowly turn into monsters; vessels for the demons, if they go against the terms of their curse, which is using their dark magic during the time the sun is up.

Story(so far): Moroq, distraught over the mistakes his ancestors made, tries to live a semi-normal life for one of a cursed race. As such, he covers his cross, the weight that keeps him contained during the day. Because of this, he cannot speak during the day. The cross is also a blessing, for it slows the process that will eventually turn him into a monster. Of course, if he uses magic, the process will accelerate momentarily.

One day, he came upon a human girl being attacked by another of his race, one who had been taken over by the demon that claimed it's soul. Moroq, still wanting to repent for sins he did not committ, saved the girl, but started his path down to becoming a monster like the others. He knew of a healer named Ophia who both accepted him, and would be willing to help the human girl, Arisa. Ophia accepted Moroq mainly because she was blind and didn't know what he was at first. Arisa accepted him for who he was, for she didn't know the truth. But, after many circumstances during their travels, Arisa was made known of Moroq's curse, but still didn't abandon him like the others of his homeland. What was originally a quest to bring Arisa back home, became a journey to cure Moroq of his curse before it completely took him over. Over time, Moroq began to have an attraction for Arisa, but he alwas kept it to himself. He didn't want her to get too involved, for she needed to return home.
Friends: Arisa, the human thief whose life he saved. Ophia, the blind healer who helped him when he was harmed by the villagers.

I have a color chart this time too! So there's Moroq with his cloak to hide the cross. Moroq without his cloak, so you can see what the cross looks like. And Moroq after his curse progresses quite a bit, without the cross. Cross is off in that picture because after a while it cannot contain the demon that hides next to Moroq's soul, and so you can see the marking that brands him as a cursed child. The lines on his arms are also part of his curse markings. So far, Moroq is one of my favorites ^^
