Malo wards off adventurers who try to harm revenants, despite being afraid of ghosts.
Hair – blond; eyes – blue; build, &c. – generic, could be described as baby-faced (this was an unintended design consequence of me starting off by drawing chibis lol)
Curious and trusting, but need to gain his long-term trust; endearing. Happy and kind, however, shy and reserved when meeting new people for the first time (but still curious). Initially jumpy, but able to think in a calm and collected way. Tries to face issues rationally.
Voidwaker, in spear form.
(TL;DR) Malo is afraid of ghosts due to hearing tales about the ruthless revenants that wander the Wilderness. After hearing that they got pushed into a cave, he decided to confront his fear. He meets a trio of revenants, who explain that they are simply protecting the sacred land their spirits are tied to, and that adventurers just come here to purge them for wealth and loot. These revenants gain Malo’s, and Malo eventually decides to protect them by warding off adventurers seeking to ‘do revs.’ The spirits of the Forinthry Dungeon help him by providing armour and modifying his spear. If talking does not work, he beats adventurers with his spear until they leave.
