For the OC alphabet!

E, H, P

Hello, Potato. Thanks so much for the question. I hope you're having a wonderful day. This might be a little long.

cw: abuse. child abuse. murder. slavery

E is for Ellarian Jhaer, the antagonist of Flight of the Dragon.

She is among the youngest of my antagonists, as she is only 24. Don't let her young age fool you. She has been through much at such an age.

When she was only eight, she was sold by her father to a local chieftain. She would encounter horrific abuse at her master's hands. At the age of mine, she would murder the man, return to her father's village, and burn everything to the ground. Her father would perish at her hands.

When she was eleven, she would be captured off a Glorendine coast and taken in chains to the mysterious Enethian kingdom. This is where the Cult of the Old Gods -- or as Enethian citizens refer to it as the Cult of the Damned -- would shape her into a weapon to be used by the cult.

She would eventually read an old tome that was said to be written by the Old Gods at a leyline where the veil was weakest between the Arathean Plane (the mortal plane) and the Death Plane. This allowed her to commune with a pair of interdimensional beings. Beneath their guidence, Ellarian would rise through the ranks and become the High Seer, remake the Cult into the vision that the "Old Gods" gifted her, and set out to capture the Child of Prophecy who would be able to open a rift between the Arathean Plane and Death Plane, allowing the "Old Gods" to step forth on Cirel.

Jhaer's favorite food is anything sweet.

H is for Harold Sigurduson, the mentor character in Pale Fire. Sorry that I do not have an Artbreeder portrait of him yet.

cw: death

Harold is one of the oldest characters in Pale Fire. At the time of his passing, he was sixty. He didn't die of natural causes, but he died defending a group of civilians from the advancing Olessan army.

That is the thing about Harold. He may be a high-ranking officer in the Glorendine Army, as well as a high-ranking member in the Order of the Lotus, but he is motivated by honor. Anabelle, the protagonist, doesn't trust him, though. She sees him as manipulative and thinks that he is taking advantage of Seamus and his distress over leaving the Glorendine Shadow Council.

As Seamus keeps Anabelle's secret, Harold is one of the ones who knows that she is actually a member of the Olessan Shadow Council. The other two are the leader of the Order of the Lotus and Wray Svenuson who is Shae's best friend.

Harold also teaches Seamus on how to control his magick, finessing his skill. As part of the military, Harold had to take courses on body magick. He is able to bolster his constitution, as well as call upon a skill known as battle rage. Harold is also able to use this master to alter his muscles, but if he utilizes this too much, it can cause the muscles to tear or cramp.

Like his superior Torstein Ulfuson, he likes the finer things in life but doesn't look down on those who live in poverty. He grew up in Southern Glorendt and worked his way up through the ranks of the military.

P is for Palar, from an untitled manuscript in the Dragon Chronicles trilogy. This is another character that doesn't have an Artbreeder portrait.

Palar Draig is the son of Beatrix and Brennan Draig. Like his parents, he is a silver dragon who often assumes a humanoid form. While his father likes to take the form of a middle-aged man with flowing silver hair and grey eyes, Palar prefers a younger appearance. He often appears as an athletic man with crimson hair and brown eyes.

Palar is gay. I had been debating whether or not to make him that or Ace but decided to do that for his younger sister, Aldrien. In the Silver Dragon society, it was not uncommon for same-sex relationships to occur, as well as a dragon being asexual. Palar has a mate whom Brennan looks like his own son. The mate does not have a name yet, but he was from a prominent silver dragon flight.
