It's finally time! After a few years of bouncing around ideas, the Force Wardens make their first appearance. This is a Magical Boy universe/idea that I've had for a while, and I'm pleased to bring it out at last.
Touya Hoshikita is a third year physics student with two strange runes on the soles of his feet. Forced to be barefoot all his life due to the runes burning whatever he tried to wear, he merely dealt with it until he was summoned to a mysterious dojo. There, he would learn the runes are a dormant form of a relic from space, which he could use to transform and summon a weapon known as the Cosmic Halberd. This would be important, as a long buried force was starting to awaken and cause trouble in Japan.
Dansui Kanzaki is Touya's best friend and a fourth year student working as a lifeguard. A shameless foot fetishist, Dansui uses his leverage in the school to also stay barefoot just like Touya, and often teases him about getting them in his mouth. Dansui himself has lines on his neck, which he learned from the same person that his relic let him breathe underwater and talk to rays and sharks. It also let him summon manta-like weapons such as knives attached to ribbons.
Roscoe Omdahl is a 22-year-old Park Ranger apprentice from Norway, who was sent to Japan to help Touya and Dansui with his added experience. A faun, he is in tune with nature and can detect trouble with ease, making him a seasoned warrior. His relic, a strange golden chain tied around one of his antlers, transforms into a mystical bow known as Ichaival, able to use poisonous plants to take down foes.
Together, the three of them are ready to do battle against the mysterious foe known as Nothniel and the minions he creates.
A big thank you to blackbear for doing the lineart for these characters! I'm so happy to show them all off in their default states.
