Brom, The Gorethian Nomad
Guild: none Weapon: Giant Curved Cleaver
Style: Gravity Defiant Wrestler Personality: Reclusive, pensive, repressed.
Height: 6ft 7in / 204cm  Pronouns: He / Him
“Raised in the gutter of Phobos away from civilisation, without a name but endless questions of identity, he was an anomaly. His family harvested resources from the fallen, brewing primitive elixirs.
By all definition of the Magal, their kind would be considered illegal witchcraft practitioners, set for execution by the sentinels. Their child survived the gruelling ordeal, however his progenitors were not so lucky. While it is unknown who took their lives away from him, it is certain they were not demons.
Having suffered great loss, he travelled down south through blizzards to the glacial Mountains of Gorethia. The colossal metallic pyramids built by the Berelithians, consumed and weathered by ice, emanate an element of magnetic distortion.
Due to the radiation discharged by these abstruse, warped structures, it is believed that as he was born under this climate, he had been blessed with the curse of its aura. Sections of the valley within the mountains carry such high levels of radiation that magnetism is unbalanced, causing gravity to become defied. This is apparently an element he can manipulate at will.
After enduring isolation, he claimed a name for himself from the ancient Berelithian word to keep a secret - Brom. However, more often he refers to himself as Nomad.
Discovered as a prisoner in the Dungeons of Trulla by Praetoria, whom set him free, they united in battle to escape the swarming battalion of Grotesques.”

Ventrual, The Spectral Eye
Guild: Magal Mages Weapons: Azure Edge, Psychokinesis 
Style: Spellblade Assassin Personality: Enigmatic, curious, ethereal.
Height: 5ft 9in / 175cm Pronouns: He / Him / It
“A spiritually enchanted swordsman of boundless wisdom. The Magal conjured this being by hand, in the alchemical laboratories of Phobos. Possessing a unique anatomy, Ventrual carries far greater power in the form of glyphs, sigils, and runes, entwined within his skull.
Initially he was sent as an emissary into the banished land to procure intelligence of exiled lords, and retrieve arcane data for the Magal Overseers.
With his abilities of otherworldliness, he is able to conceal his presence, passing through walls undetected as his body dematerialises. Through telekinetic insertion of a spectral eye, Ventrual is able to control the mind of a demon, collapsing them from the inside.”

Style: Dance of Dragon Sword and Blessed Bleeder Height: 6ft 2in / 191cm
Pronouns: She / They
“Missionary of the Radiant Church, one of the three primary ancient and martial monastery orders of demon hunters. Dorris is the corporeal embodiment of the Radiant Dragon Titan deity. Notably of prestige, having been formerly appointed titles such as hunt commander and spiritual leader. Empowered by the liquid fire that flows from their veins, she wields a unique form of sorcery.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 31 - Abattoir
“Bewildered by a gruesome revelation, the slayers have witnessed grim reality at an industrial facility in the heart of Phobos.
An abattoir. A demon slaughterhouse. Eyeless cadavers, missing limbs. Drained of blood with hooks through their hollow skulls, suspended over gore-soaked tiles. 
The hall permeates with an overwhelming stench of rotten flesh.
This is where Alchemists operate in numbers to extract matter and substance of Grotesque, to distill mutagenic elixirs. 
Of all the power in the Kingdom and Frontier, here lies the source. The facility that supplies elixirs vital to mankind’s evolution and survival against demons.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 30 - Gear
“To adorn the mantle of the Apex Manticore, a Maneater Chimera, is to brandish oneself with the visage of a legendary slayer.
Notoriously, manticores are some of the fiercest fiends in all the dismal lands. They are venomous. They are merciless.
With its leonine mane sprouting quills tipped with paralysing venom, this suit of flesh asserts dominance over lesser demons, and inexperienced hunters.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 29 - Uh-oh!
“Somehow, Vrak accomplished the impossible. 
To the world-shattering distress of Dorris, this menace has broken a blessed blade. 
This feat ordinarily may only be achieved by a demon of regality, not a mere knave. 
Deadhand had some explaining to do.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 28 - Camping
“Setting up camp on the road, Bosco and Praetoria unwind with a few drinks under the canopy of a slain Mastodon demon. 
During extended hunts and expeditions, slayers must seek sturdier shelter with a greatly more durable defence. 
The thick, durable hide of a creature of this size may withstand torrential weather, providing a tranquil barrier against the harsher elements. 
This campsite will make a glamorous den of respite, while the pair fix up weaponry repairs, and take stock of inventory.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 27 - Snack
“After clearing out the area of hostiles, Renkora gives herself a moment to rest, allowing her wounds to heal. 
Retrieving the poultry fiend she had stowed away in her bag, slain earlier on her quest, she prepares herself a meal.
The sentinel slayer feasts on a succulent leg of meat cooked by campfire, marinated in its own blood. 
Invigorated by the sumptuous taste of flesh, the night is far from over. She soon sets back out on her crusade.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 26 - Ego
“The techniques of execution utilised by the Glory Seeker, specifically decapitation, are critiqued as unconventional by the standards of most hunters. 
Slaying is often handled by many with precision in the cleanest approach, as graceful and humanely as possible. 
Oblivious, or rather careless of these rules and regulations, Praetoria thrives on her brutal raw strength, and ability to tear off an aggressor’s head with only her hands. 
As she claims its skull as her trophy, the body topples to the ground oozing with demon blood. A delightful sight to her, but a horrible mess to so-called professionals.
A job well done. She salutes her crew with a thumbs up, and a cold smirk having been showered by the demon’s chartreuse blood.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 25 - Tempting
“Deadhand has dealt with some of the most unscrupulous tasks offered to him by the vilest of demons in all the dismal lands, for he is a renown and talented thief, after all. 
On this particular outing set to retrieve an idol from a dark and gloomy tunnel, his victorious arrogance got the better of him. 
While showboating, Vrak inadvertently triggered several of the deadly tripwires, releasing a large, spiked boulder on his track down from an opening above.
Run, little goblin fella! Run!”

INKMalia 2022: Day 24 - Fairy
“Locating the Prowling Prayer Mantis proved to be difficult, but Vrak had finally set his eyes on one of these critters. 
Along the fringes of the Crooked Woods, these fiends enchant unsuspecting hunters with spellbinding hymns. 
The melodies are struck on its vocal cords like a harp, played by a pair of eloquent and delicately thin legs.
Vrak must shield his ears before restraining the creature, lest he fall under their spell himself.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 23 - Booger
“Histeria drove herself into the nasal cavity of a colossal Behemoth, slicing into its flesh and muscle tissue from the inside. 
Covering one nostril with an index finger, the giant blasted her out of its sinuses, as she failed to latch onto something. 
Stubborn and determined, both prideful traits instilled by her mentor, Histeria relentlessly pursued her goal of slaying this unruly giant.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 22 - Heist
“Masked, dressed dark, and ready to strike on an unsuspecting criminal syndicate of Phobos. 
A vile gang of exiles that operate in an underground Gladiatorial Ring, conducting illicit business with other demon mobsters. 
As the pair stealthily descend on their treasury, Praetoria creates a diversion by fighting bouncers, causing commotion as it draws more of them outside. 
Bosco and Vrak successfully make away with arms full of precious jewels, canisters of crystalline, valuable organs and such worth a fortune on the black market.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 21 - Bad Dog
“Chimeric activity has increased on the Frontier, as ravaging hellish hounds patrol desolate roads with ferocity, and cunning. 
Prying its vicious jaws apart, Praetoria liberates her pint-sized companion from the jagged teeth of a Cerberus Chimera.
Dreadful beasts, notorious for their ability to conceal a pair of additional monstrous heads beneath their canine bodies that are summoned upon them drawing blood. 
The Glory Seeker learned wisely from the masterful Renkora on how to proceed with caution against these spiteful creatures.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 20 - Bluff
“In his darkest hour after a losing streak, Deadhand finds himself in a great deal of debt to a gnarly gang of the fiercest Choleric Mutants of Phobos.
With the stakes incredibly high in one last gambit, he wagers all or nothing on their den. But Vrak had formed a devious ploy, clueing in Bosco for his game.
Utilising an experimental elixir, dubbed Carne Per Oculum, it enables the subject to possess greatly enhanced vision, with a gaze that transcends through the barriers of flesh.”

INKMalia 2022: Day 19 - Ponytail
‘Flow the chaos through your hair, 
Bewitched follicles of Nightmare.
Blood of the gorgon in your vein,
Unleash a talon from your mane.’
“In alchemical morphology, hair is a conductor of sorcery. Follicles are deeply connected to the vital circulation of mage and witches, like wires through their body. 
They gain their power from radiation stemming from the Nightmare Above, which acts as a natural repellent over demonic influence. The capillary tendrils are a crucial element of spell casting.”
