--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personality: Shockingly, this “heroic” looking character is not exactly as he appears regardless of his serious expression. That is only the facial expression that he wears during battle or after battle. Icarus is actually a pretty nice guy that enjoys having fun here and there; even if it gets him in trouble. But the thing he loves most will always be learning new things or random facts, yet even though he may know about a lot of little facts, he’s not good at understanding others emotions or thoughts. Oddly, Icarus may have a light persona among his friends but the man actually approaches most of his major problems seriously and stoically. He tries not to show his true weaknesses when a situation happens because of his fear of getting taken advantage for it. There are a few cases he would laugh and smile in front of a problem though. Icarus can also be lazy with a few things and would spend his time sleeping if he could.

History: At a very young age, Icarus became friends with a girl by the name of Annelise(Kinda like An-ne-Lees). This girl had always dreamed of becoming a knight but it wasn’t much of Icarus’s type of thing. He rather learned new practical things about the world than wave a sword around like some brute. A day had come when he and Annelise had met another boy by the name of Claudius. Cladius, being older than them by two years, was very much like that of hero. One could say that he had a natural heart of a true leader. Because of his persona, Annelise became inspired and wanted to follow Cladius down the road to knighthood; although, Icarus didn’t want any part of becoming a knight. The boy actually wanted to move Arcania and learn how to read spellbooks and other practical things but, he also didn’t want to be parted from Annelise and Cladius after they all became such good friends. So instead, being a weak character, he went along with them and vowed to become a knight along with them.

Sadly, because Icarus’s heart wasn’t with becoming a grand knight, he didn’t put any effort into becoming one despite his vow. He was a just a child but both Annelise and Cladius felt disappointed. Day after day, the two began to push Icarus on the road to knighthood even more. At the age of 14, Cladius came up with an idea that may help Icarus want to try harder. He spoke to the group and announced that they should try to find a monster up the mountains nearby and attempt to defeat it and perhaps, when Icarus gets a feel of true battle, he may want to become a knight even more.

So the group set out into the mountains and began to walk longer than they previously stated because within time, Cladius grew more and more curious and wanted to explore. Annelise followed without a complaint but Icarus grew wearier in each hike. Just when the boy was about to complain, Cladius stumbled across the path of a dragon. Obviously, the dragon had not been captured or tamed and attacked the group, killing both Cladius and Annlise on the spot and leaving Icarus- who managed to escape- badly injured. Because of this event, he had met Ericia who was only 7 at that time. Things happened and the two separated after having just met but she really helped him out despite the main reason why she approached him. Yet in spite of meeting someone as sweet as Ericia, it did not keep the depression in his heart down. At one point, the pain of his lost friends became a fuel of revenge against the dragon. It changed Icarus’s heart and mind. For once in his life, he understood why people became warriors. If only he was stronger that time…

The BG was the help of *Hoshino-Tsuki. Mainly just Tsuki lol.
Clothes ideas came from the inspiration of Fire Emblem, luminous arc and a bunch of my favorite hero characters in games/manga. But if they seem a bit too similar, that is merely a coincidence.
