Well, I've got nothing else to talk about right now, so I'm gonna do a quick little character profile of Kran, the main character of the Symptoms comic.
Name: Kran of the Etheria Clan (all Aurora elves are of the Etheria clan by the way)
Age: 16
Species: Aurora Elf
Birthplace: Glare Island
Anaiawin: Elencae
Height: 5 feet 6 inches (he's really not that tall)
Weight: 117 lbs (most elves are known to be pretty light)
History: Kran was your average ol' Aurora elf, living your average ol' life on Glare Island for the longest time. But of course, teenagers get the idea that they have to get away from the world and travel and be independent, so of course, Kran made plans to leave the icy island. His bow techniques were self taught, yet he somehow manages to use a bow pretty well. The bow itself is poorly made, as Aurora elves aren't good handicraftsmen.
When word of the Guild had reached Glare Island, Kran, the dreamer that he was, wanted to go. Of course, the only way he could get to the mainland was to make a pact with an Anaiawin. So, Kran ventured through the forest path to the Crystal Spire at the center of the island. Using the silver earring that used to belong to his mother (who is sadly no longer with us...) as the object to make a pact upon, he was able to gain control over a very affectionate Anaiawin named Elencae. It was only a week later that Kran ventured to the Mainland with the help of Elencae. The rest of the story is in the comic.
Other Secrets that Would be Spoilers to the Story(READ IF YOU DARE!!!):
Kran grew out his hair to cover a terrible injury he got as a child. He was attacked by a Toy Imp (evil little mimic monster) when he was about 5 years old, leaving him almost blind in his left eye. A local hexer knew a charm that could give Kran his eyesight back, but the charm could not be in direct sunlight or else it could reverse the effects and worsen Kran's eyesight. To this day, Kran is still blind in that eye, but the charm is covered and will restore his sight sooner or later.
The incident above led to Kran's fear of Imps. His mother's death caused him to begin to fear the loss of those whom he cared about, or those who cared about him. Kran also fears failure, as most people in the world.
Personality: Kran's a pretty basic character. He loves exploring, and gets a little over excited when exploring dungeons (he tends to narrate his explorations when he's really excited as well). He doesn't mind killing monsters, except Bats, because they are his favorite animals. He hates really clumsy, idiotic, and flirty people (minus Elencae). They get on his nerves and tend to throw him off. But, if those people are good at heart, they sometimes grow on him. He also hates Shadow like crazy. Her sadistic personality throws Kran into little fits of rage occasionally. He treasures certain objects like his earring and his bow, because he's had them for such a long time. Overall, Kran's a pretty nice guy. He does the right thing when it comes right down to it. He's your typical RPG hero, as he should be for this RPG parody story.
And to all of you who may or may not want to know, that black streak in Kran's hair is completely natural.
The idea of Kran came from my one friend (same who came up with a couple other characters that aren't in Symptoms that I like to draw). Though, Kran has become more of my character. My friend only named him and decided his species and age. Design and personality and history and everything that happens to Kran in Symptoms were all my ideas.
And I think that's it. Maybe I'll add in as the story continues. And I'll draw a better/ more recent picture of him and add that in later too.
