Funky little Hugo design for my Remnants au! More info under the cut
Name: Hugo
Kingdom(s): Bayagnor
Family: Parents sold him out to work in coal mines, was taken in by donella's crew to work as a mercenary
Plot goal: Make sure Varian and the others get to the library, take the key to it for donella, and kill them.
Personal goal: security
Personality: quiet, bluntly sarcastic, realistic, cries really easy, gets attached hard and fast, protective to a fault
Role in the group: Lancer/foil to Varian, shared role of damage sponge with him as well
Arc: he finds that safety and security dont come from donella and her crew, even if she cares about him(she does, just in a... not so great fashion), she'll keep using him as long as she can until he's unable to keep going at all. instead, he learns to find safety in other ways, he finds security in the group, with people who truly, genuinely care about him, more than what he can do with his skillset. so like yong switches from wanting to be better for others to wanting to be better for himself, hugo switches from wanting safety with donella, to wanting safety with the group
Design description(possible reference): physical appearance is tall, lanky, kind of on the thin side, bleach blonde hair, pale almost sickly skin, and olive green eyes with little flecks of yellow in them
hugo's design shifts considerably throughout the plot, since he hasn't really considered his personal style ever before. when he worked in the mines he had the clothes they gave him and thats it, when he joined donella he had a uniform. when he splits from her he starts picking things out for himself, and his personal style is very different from what he's Supposed™️ to wear at the beginning its thin boots, almost like wrappings, padded fingerless gloves, loose-ish pants with a lot of pockets, some extra straps(pictured below) for weapons and one around his shoulder for his fancy little gun, a military style jacket, and iron gauntlets, all in muted dark colors later plot hugo first of all stops bleaching his hair, lets it be this funky little ginger-tinted brown it naturally is. he also finds he likes comfier/baggier clothing. big fluffy sweaters, puffy pants, and Big Old Stomping Boots
And here's nuru! She probably underwent the most change, Yong being VERY close behind. More information on her under the cut!
Name: Nuru
Kingdom(s): Ingvarr
Family: Two moms and so many siblings, she's on the younger end of the group
Plot goal: to end the curse zt cast on her ancestors, dooming her kingdom to be plagued by comets during a certain season each year
Personal goal: glory
Personality: loud, arrogant, passionate, compassionate, bad at emotions,,, so so bad at emotions, also very opinionated
Role in the group: the smart guy! she's good at magic, and a lot of her skills(languages, information on the library and trials) are specifically fit for this journey so she knows what she's doing
Arc: her arc is getting rid of biases, she has a set idea of how the world works, what's broken and how she needs to fix it, she learns things on this journey, and she's forced to reassess her views on people. she's a compassionate person by nature, and she does care about people, especially her friends, she just has a tendency to assume things. by the end of her little journey she does find the solution to her kingdom's problem, and she's offered everything she thought she wanted, praise, political power she'd never dreamed of having, a cemented place in her family, yet... it doesnt seem to matter to her anymore. being the biggest most important person doesnt seem to matter, just that she made a difference
Design description(possible reference): starts out stiff, she's got armor(warrior nuru very important to me), a very stiff military style of dress with alot of embellishments. as the journey goes her style starts getting looser, a lot less impractical add ons. it shows how she's opened herself up to the group without hiding behind the wall of her abilities and showing her humility by focusing on practicality over making sure people know she's rich
as far as physical appearance goes she's got puffy as hell hair she fashions in this really neat way i like, this style of braid on the front of her face and then these cool circle puffy braids as a ponytail sort of resembling a comet. she's got russet brown eyes, they look purple in certain light
