OC RANTING: Falkor And Lloyd!

Posting semi-huge posts about my own characters isn't really my style, but I wanted to have a proper place to stow away most of the info about these two, just for some peace of mind :)

(these are basically just greentexts of information... listen, I'm not good at this stuff!)

If you guys aren't somewhat familiar with these two already, let me introduce you to Falkor and Lloyd!

they're a duo of adventurers who are trying to make it big in the world of questing and adventuring so that their family lineage of much better adventurers are not ashamed of them.

Falkor Svend, a basic loser knight who probably has more luck talking to plants than he does not getting his ass beat up by every monster he encounters, and the one who carries him through every battle- a wizard called Lloyd Adrik, who has been cursed with unpredictable, uncontrollable ice magic!With no need for a staff or chanting of any kind. He's also cold-blooded, and his hair turned white, and a bunch of other stuff....... Which I will get into in just a moment!

Here's a rundown of Falkor

He was the runt of his brothers, a little dim, a little distracted, preferring to fight for fun and joy and kiddiness than really taking the time to learn tactics and techniques. now all his brothers are somewhat well known, and he's still just some dope who stayed under his parent's wing for too long. So then he made the decision to leave and go run around collecting gold and cute animals and pretty trinkets with a veeeeery powerful magician he made friends with!!!! yoppeee !!!!!! (His parents are just glad he's gone.)

On his armour, he wears an emblem that resembles a shell-shocked reptile looking down at itself in confusion. It's called "The Stupid Dragon" and it's from a very well-renowned fable within his world.

The story behind it goes a little something like this. it centres around a lizard who wanted to be a dragon with every molecule in its body that they trained nonstop every single day on how to fly through the air, how to control its breathing for fire-breath, collecting shiny things to have a hoard for themselves, they prayed to this heavenly deity up above- seeking for consolation, calling the deity's name night after night when it didn't answer. The deity was insecure, worried about being cast aside if they did not validate this small lizard's claims. So the deity had no choice but to confirm their belief of being a dragon, but the lizard was never satisfied. it was so wrapped up in their determination, it had to be petrified by a stronger, much more responsible god, fearing that if the lizard found out the truth, it would cause an outcry about the deity's mistake.

Anyway, not sure what the moral is but its something about lying for the better, and the consequences that come after it,

Falkor is often criticised for being like the lizard in the story. being too passionate about something he will never succeed in, simply because he wasn't made out to be one from the very start. He wears it to become better than the lizard. showing that even if he was just a lowly lizard, he would still earn his way to being a dragon..... or something. in reality, he just resonated with the myth and sees the dragon in solidarity. Who wouldn't, after all the times he tried his best thinking he was doing well, just to be put down by his brothers? Petrified on the spot for simply wishing to be something greater? Something he will never, ever be.

Anyway, here's some more basic information!

And his emblem up close

He's 5'11, 28 years old, and uses He/Him pronouns, he's got flat, wavy hair that's usually pressed down against his head, with tan skin spattered with an assortment of scars, but he usually covers them up anyway. He has bright brown eyes- beautiful when not marred with bruising, maybe he should invest in a helmet... He also has his emblem tattooed over the left side of his chest, over his heart. His armour is slightly unpolished and doesn't reflect as nicely. His padding and underclothes are greyish-white, as well as thick, brown leather gloves. His most prominent feature is his nose btw, it is visible from every. single. angle.

Here's a rundown of Lloyd

Lloyd was one of the only few people born in his prestigious sorcerer family without an affinity for magic. whether that be a divinity-defying connection with the stars or a healing so powerful it could bring the dead back, he ran off from his duties one day- stumbling into the treasury, where he grabbed the first "Grimoire" that he saw bound in frosty iron chains. It gave him nice snow magic, sure, and for a while, he kept up this illusion- visiting the treasury, showing his parents his "magic", then going back in the middle of the night. One day, his father found out about this and barged into the treasury- scaring Lloyd. in this fit of rage he yelled at Lloyd about being a charlatan, a disgrace, Lloyd, being the naive kid he was, simply absorbed all the magic within the book out of a fit of fear... Accidentally blasting his father with this magic, then shortly passed out. now he's cold-blooded. now his hair is as white as snow. now tumours of ice culminate on his skin, and it's all too much for this small boy to take. Every time he casts magic, a strange symbol on his forehead lights up, it's icy to the touch.

He got the Elsa treatment, one side of his father's face is now frozen into a perpetually shocked state, his lips chafed away to reveal the bone, his eye milky white with blindness, his hair now two-toned- resembling the shade that Lloyd's took on, and he is NOT happy about the similarities.

And so...... Lloyd brought disgrace, healers did what they could, managing to rid him of most of the side effects, and yet he still couldn't properly control his magic- bound to his new room inside an iron box, made to sit alone in isolation for days on end, rarely if at all being visited by his own family. He once nearly froze his own sister's hand off after begging her not to leave him alone. this was the final straw for his father, after many, many close calls... soooo he was booted! Onto the streets, with barely a penny to his name, (To think he could piece two and two together about being a decent parent, and uh, maybe not throwing out a teenager with unpredictable ice magic.)

After a few years of helping with other adventurers and trying to avoid freezing their heads off, (he gave into this urge like. once) he then found Falkor, who he instantly clicked with. Ao now they are friends who beat up monsters together !

Anyway, here's some more basic information!

(you'll have to forgive me for not having a good ref of Lloyd on hand, haha)

Yes. Yes I know that his symbol is the same one for ice pokemon LMFAO I swear this is what it looks like now!

He's 6'7, 27 years old, and uses He/Him pronouns, he's got thin, fluffy hair that's usually windswept over his face, one specific cowlick always just a little bit curlier than the rest, and I guess he's too unbothered to fix it. He has pale papery skin that's perpetually flushed red from the cold, he's only... A little bit insecure about it. His eyes turned a bright shade of cyan upon being inflicted with the curse, and he has huge ears. HUGE ears. I fail to demonstrate just how disproportionately big they are compared to his face in these refs but he hears all.

Their dynamic is a basic wizard x fighter trope, Lloyd does the fighting though, while Falkor's able to talk for him when he's too anxious to ask for no pickles. Here's some miscellaneous art of them :)

anyway, that has been my OC rant, if I ever decide to give their universe a name I'll probably be editing this post! 🤔😊 If you've gotten this far, please be my mutual and I hope to talk again about these two very soon
