Class Feature Friday: Ardril, the Would-Be King (Champion Legendary Medium Spirit)

(art by PReilly on DeviantArt)

 With the champion spirit being what it is, it was surely inevitable that there would be a dragon slayer available to those seeking the power of a legendary warrior.

Unfortunately, little information is given about Ardril, the Would-Be King (not to be confused with Ardril Hestram of the Pathfinder Society), but she was an Ulfen warrior of great reknown, elevated to the status of folk hero after slaying several linnorms on her own.

This would normally qualify her as a Linnorm King several times over, giving her the right to stake her claim on her own private nation within the region. However, Ardril refused such accolades, asserting that she would only take a throne after she had slayed the legendary Fafnheir, the so-called “Father of Linnorms”.

However, the other Linnorm Kings, fearful of losing their positions of power should she succeed, or more likely, abandon that quest and take all that she was owed, sent soldiers to slay her. Though heavily injured, she survived this assassination and fled west to the mythologized Ulfen colony of Valen.

Given that she is now a legendary spirit, it can be assumed that she passed away on the trip or after arriving in Valen, but it wouldn’t be the first time mediums have called upon a spirit of a living person of legend, drawing upon the psychic impression of their deeds. Ardril’s fate is not officially recorded in the setting.

Interestingly, because of the colony’s location on the continent of Arcadia, Ardril’s spirit has spread among Arcadian mediums seeking the power of a foreign warrior and dragonslayer.

As we will see, Ardril is quite a powerful spirit for those seeking the power to take down single opponents.

 As a former Linnorm King in all but actual landed title, it only makes sense that in order to attract Ardril’s call, one must defeat a dragon of sufficient might without any assistance, and then endure Ardril’s memories of resisting countless linnorm death curses. Only then will she answer the medium’s call.

She also offers a special taboo to those seeking more power. Requiring the medium to never seek or accept positions of power while bonded to her. Easy enough for a warrior not interested in authoritative power, not so much for those seeking prestige.

A master of single combat, Ardril grants the medium the ability to challenge foes in a way similar to cavaliers, though in addition to the bonus damage to their chosen target, they also pierce any damage resistance and bolster their own resistances as well.

To the most powerful mediums, however, Ardril grants an additional boon in the form of souped-up versions of the minor linnorm death curses that some barbarians tap into, charging their weapons with deadly energy and promising two crippling magical curses to those that knock them unconscious or kill them.

Interested in a medium that can challenge like a cavalier? This legendary spirit certainly offers that. You’ll have to rely on what weapon proficiencies you have, but the potential for bonus damage against high-priority targets is there. The improved death curses at high level also offer bonus energy damage and a nice bite-back when you finally go down. As such, a tanky build comes to mind, favoring the champion and occasionally the guardian spirit, maybe occasionally the hierophant as well.

 Now, obviously like most legendary spirits, there is plenty of lore behind them, but it’s easy enough to reflavor any famous dragon slayer or knight as the source of this character option.

Also, consider why your character decided to pursue this spirit in the first place. Did they seek to emulate such a legendary hero? Do they share the same sense of honor, or merely reflect it when channeling the spirit? Perhaps they come from a place where duels are common and they wanted an edge in single combat?

 Driven out of his clan for “hearing voices”, Margak the ogre was forced to venture out on his own, learning to survive with the help of the whispers that gave him advice and even guided his body sometimes. After a harrowing encounter with a dragon that he only barely won, he heard a new voice, one claiming to be a mighty dragonslayer.

 A dragonslaying spirit called Ser Magnora has a special request for those who wish to become a vessel for her. Such interested mediums must retrieve her old sword, which is currently buried in the heart of the purrodaemon that slew her, who now wears the weapon as one of it’s many grim prizes.

 Not long after the Wyrmblood pact, a bond of lasting peace between the mortals and dragons of Vindmere, was signed, rumors began to creep in that a legendary dragonslayer long thought dead had returned. In truth, the spirit of the dragonslayer has taken over the medium that sought to channel them, and aims to disrupt the peace between the two groups.

And now I have made a part 3 of the human Cookies, this time featuring the Legendaries

You know I’m noticing that recently I’ve been drawing a lot more. I mean I’ve drawn 3 pieces in the last two days and I drew stuff last week. Seems my medication is at least helping something, even if it’s not me doing actual work to get my life together like my parents hoped. But hey, it personally makes me happy I’m drawing more, so it’s at least somewhat of a win

I think I was spurred on to do this one because I was playing around with the Mii maker on my 3DS, and I was making Cookies and started making the Legendaries

I will say, the Legendaries are probably some of the more difficult characters to translate into normal humans, since their designs are more fantastical. Almost all of their hair is made of something not normal, like fire, grass or water, so I have to try and make it at least semi-cohesive. It also means a lot of hair dye

I admit, while Wind Archer doesn’t look terrible, he does look very boring, like a generic guy. But frankly I just don’t see him using hair dye, or getting a lot of piercings. He doesn’t feel like someone who would to me, and so he looks boring

On the subject of designs I’m not satisfied with, I think Sugar Swan came out the worst. I just legit didn’t know what to do with her design. I’m a proponent of short haired Sugar Swan, so I gave her that, but I don’t think it turned out the best. I also wasn’t sure how to incorporate all the wings and swan thing on her head. I got that but it’s not that great

Originally in Sugar Swan’s spot was Millennial Tree, but he wasn’t turning out great so I tried doing Sugar Swan in his spot. Maybe that spot was just cursed or something

I think my personal favorite of the bunch is Sea Fairy, I think she turned out fun. Honestly I can see her going either way with the hair dye, so might as well just give her the blue. The buzz cut thing was actually something I got from another Sea Fairy design that I really like. I was debating between her having black or dirty blonde hair, but I eventually settled on the blonde

Moonlight and Stardust were pretty fun. With Stardust, I wasn’t sure whether I should have him dye his whole hair blue or have him bleach the front of his hair. I asked on Discord and they said the latter, so that’s what I did. But also note, I realized that if I were to try and give him bleached front and also potentially blue tips, he would have had Yugi Moto anime hair, but just flattened down instead of all spiky. Like I’ve seen people draw Yugi with hair similar to it

I wasn’t really feeling it after Sugar Swan’s failed design, but Fire Spirit got my mojo back, I think he turned out good. And with that I was able to make a Millennial Tree design I liked a lot more (while also looking at someone else’s interpretation of his design and deciding to use locs as well). Maybe not the best but not as bad as it was before

I kind of threw in Frost Queen because last spot and also she is an elemental Legendary. With her, instead of her hair being dyed, it’s supposed to be that her hair has actually turned white from either stress or age, with a tiny bit of her blonde still there at the ends. Don’t know why I picked blonde other than light color though

In my head while I was drawing, I was trying to come up with human things for them to do, but I really only got as far as the Dessert guys and the Wizard guys

Moonlight is the heiress of the “Wizard’s” estate, and she lives there and is the self proclaimed custodian. I’m not really sure what Blueberry Pie and Sugar Glass are doing there, but they’re probably also here. I also don’t know what the estate really is, I just have the idea that it’s a big place that the “Wizards” used as a research place, until they just stopped using it or disbanded or died or something. Stardust meanwhile is either Moonlight’s half brother she didn’t know about, or they’re full siblings who were orphaned and then separated at a young age via the foster care system. Stardust’s journey there would be him learning of his sister and her location and then I suppose hitchhiking his way there until he arrived

Meanwhile, Sugar Swan owns this wildlife preserve, which is the Dessert Paradise (probably goes by another name but I can see “Paradise” still being in the name), meanwhile the Dessert guardians, including Wind Archer, are the other caretakers that manage and guard the preserve. Are they also Sugar Swan’s kids? Maybe, I don’t know. Wind Archer probably is though, and maybe Millie’s his dad, I’m not sure

Frost Queen I think is just an accomplished doctor who lives in a more remote area and takes care of patients with a rare condition that she specializes in the treatment of (and also contracted herself when she was younger). She also just kind of dresses like that I guess

Genuinely I don’t know what Fire Spirit does, he might just be like, Pitaya’s adopted son or works under Pitaya, I don’t know. I can’t see him with much of a job

I imagine Sea Fairy has some sort of job (that she might neglect), but I have no clue what that job would be, since it presumably impacts both Black Pearl and Abyss Monarch in some big way, so like, running an aquarium might be too low stakes. Her crush on Moonlight might be something like she met this cute astronomer one time at some sort of astronomy conference or something, but she doesn’t know where she lives and so doesn’t know how to meet her again. Moonlight also thought she was cute, but again, doesn’t know where she lives

And yeah, I think that’s about it. I hope you enjoy these designs

"Duion, The Wise"

[of-pale]

You let me know, everything's alright

The twins were stuck between a rock and a hard place, battered like fish n’ chips. They struggled to stand, recuperating in a brief moment of peace in the bloodstained field. Not a true peace, as the tension for another inevitable battle charged the air.

“Hey, bro.”

“Yeah?”

“Remember that cheesy song Dad used to sing to Mom? The one with all the funny chanting bits?”

“Why…?”

“I can't stop this feeling~”

“Really?”

“Deep inside of me~”

“Is this.. really the best time?”

“Girl, you just don't realise, what you do to me~”

“...”

“Aw, come on, Verge. You know the words. Just entertain me for a second, it’s not like we’ve got an audience right now.”

“I don’t…”

Vergil hesitated for a moment. This was beyond foolish; why bring up some pointless song at a time like this? They should be planning for the next attack, they should be looking over their injuries, they should be—Damn it all. 

“When you hold me…” Vergil struggled to sing the line as his lungs didn't feel up to the task, but Dante waved in encouragement to keep going. “...in your arms so tight.”

With a wince, Dante threw an arm over Vergil's shoulder and cheekily pulled him closer. Vergil didn't want to waste energy fighting it, but if he was honest with himself, he didn't want to fight it. It was… “You let me know, everything’s alright~” Vergil finished the verse.

Dante grinned at him, satisfied to have lifted their spirits, continuing, “And I’m~” He finger-gunned towards Vergil with his free hand, making him scoff. Still, Vergil played along, finishing the line.

“Hooked on a feeling~”

Dante turned his finger gun towards the horizon where more demons had gathered and were clearly heading their way. 

“I'm high on believing~” the twins sang together, standing up straight in preparation for the inbound battle.

IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! 🏹

[monkeydluthy]

Sakuna will go down as one of the greatest villains in anime history 🙏🔥

[zelda-the-sacred-realm]

Sorry if I just jumped in, quite late. But can you please say your friend who made the song that he please should expand it and upload it somewhere? I want it on my phone! I love it ❤️ It's just incredible, I literally have the feeling of watching an intro of an anime!

Oh actually he already expanded it, I received it a few days ago! I'm happy to hear you liked it!

I don't know what he plans to do with it, if he ever publishes it, but I have permission to let you hear it so I hope it goes well ☺️

Personally I've listened to it hundreds of times, now we need a nice animated intro 😍

I leave you the complete musical lyrics:

In the land of Hyrule, a hero's tale begins

Guided by the spirits of warriors before him

Through mountains and valleys, he roams with his sword

Champion of courage, protector of the world

With the spirit of the hero, he will rise

Defeating evil and saving all our lives

Through darkness and danger, he will fight

Guided by the courage of warriors' might

----

In a realm of darkness, the chaos gods arise

Their evil reign spreads like fire in the skies

But in the shadows, a hero takes his stand

With the power of the medallion, protect the land

Together we'll fight the gods, united we'll prevail

With the strength of the spirits, we cannot fail

Through the battles we'll endure, a world reborn anew

In this epic adventure

In this epic adventure, we will see it through
