Meet the Characters: Part 3 Admiral Skaal: Renown for his skill on the seas, the Admiral commands the combined might of the Northern Free Fleets. Loved for his hatred of piracy, he has forged a reputation as a scourge of the Hyeth Sea. His past debts to Anoriths crown, as well as Kaels bravery in Lareel, convince him to mount an expedition to restore Kael to the throne via the waterways of Kirin. The leader of the northern fleet, Admiral Skaal is a stately old gentleman with a chest like a wine barrel and wide sea-worthly legs. He dresses in slightly armored naval garb (fantasy version of a british naval uniform) with a wide brimmed hat and a pair of serrated cutlasses at his side. Swarthy and strict, Skaal respects bravery and honor above all, allowing for rogues and others of their kind to serve with him only once they have proven themselves. He is fiercely protective of his men though, and once he makes a decision or feels he owes a debt he sticks to it. Slow to anger, Skaal is a man of action and sweeping motions much like the seas he loves once riled. Tyr the Rogue: A young girl whom Zara befriends on her travels across the Hyeth Sea, Tyr is often silent and carries herself with unnatural ease. Her parents being both human and Ashura leads her to keep herself covered and hidden, but her stealth and skill with a blade are incredible. She has feelings for young Cog, and agrees to use her abilities to assist Kael when they become shipwrecked on the Atolls. The Ashura have no pity for her either, as those on the island are disgusted by the presence of a half-breed. Tyr is an unsure youth with a troubled background. She is skittish, much like a housecat, and only warms up to others with time and effort. She can be found in light leathers wielding a pair of short daggers much as if they were her own claws. It is important to remember Tyr is a halfbreed human/Ashuran and is thus used to being hated and pushed out of society. She is actually quite a survivor and has little trouble living off of the land although she craves company. She is incredibly intrigued by mechanical creations and warms immediately to Cog and Zara.
Concept Art Fun! As we are now rounding the bend on our internal beta and getting ready to wrap up the final features, we thought we would share with you some of the concept art that went behind our character design. Many of these characters and designs were directly used in the comic you can find on the Kirin Wars website telling of the backstory regarding the Dark Lady and her Brothers, the protectors of Kirin and the gateway to the Fey.
