When I originally designed Iore Misrool he was an annoying kid who first shows up after a house collapses on him. NOW he's an annoying adult who first shows up without a house collapsing on him, but I'm seriously reconsidering that. There is no better way to show off his personality than to have him crawling out of splintered wreckage. Well. Aside from all the misery he gets to put up with prior to and after.
The first thing God-awful about Iore was that his hair was obscenely horrid at first. Funky red 'do with black tips it was lame okay I drew anime. Then it got horrendously long and Sephiroth-like, and that was just frustrating. So I chopped it off.

Muuuch better. He used to have like...rows of horns on the sides of his face in front of his tiny lizardy ears but I ditched those too because they didn't do anything but push a demon-look on him.
Strangely as much as I've fought with outfits for my characters his is the SAME DAMN THING IT'S ALWAYS BEEN and I'm thinking of changing around the colors a bit because green was such an obvious choice. Maybe an ick barf brown-green y/n? Something earthier and looks like it's been beaten into the dirt often.
Oh also I really love saying Misrool. What.
So anyway...
Iore's one of the Midgaa people. Long story short, they are reclusive, supersititous, theocratic, and oh-so-very serious business. He spent a very brief and early portion of his life living with his grandparents before being sent to temple to study under the priests and acolytes. He specialized in telis magic, which involves molding energies into rope or whiplike forms.
When he was twelve, he heard whispering from beneath the temple and, like any genius would, spent a lot of time trying to get down there and find out what it was. He succeeded, and was drawn into a closed-off room that was locked and chained enough that one would think "Oh, I guess I shouldn't nose around." But he was compelled, and if he didn't then I guess his story would be pretty boring. He broke into the room and found a sealed box chained up in the middle. Still being brilliant, and perhaps in some ways enchanted to, he opened it up.
The next time he woke up he was chained up in prison, being grilled over something stolen and having absolutely no idea what anyone is talking about. Nobody would say what was missing, either, so that just made it more confusing.

He spent eleven years in there, and never aged a day. Eventually he managed to get one of the beasts outside to befriend him and pry a couple of the bars off the window, and he escaped. He chopped his hair (THANK GOD) and fled the country with nothing but the clothes on his back and the beast who follows him around like a dog. He calls him Boy, because he's clever like that.
Eventually and through circumstances that may or may not involve houses falling, he gets coaxed into following around the Anduist and his party. During a seige on one of the last remaining elf cities, the ground shakes and an obviously bad-guy voice sounds, and Iore tears shit up in a fabulously gorey way without really breaking a sweat or remembering a damn thing afterwards.

Later on he gets to find out that the thing in the box was alive, evil, and is now chewing up his soul! Oh, what fun! It gets better, what with the moodswings, random outbursts of carnage, and gradual and rapid physical deterioration.
So, naturally, he's thrilled about that. He puts on a pretty sarcastic front to hide the frustration and hopelessness that he's about to drown in and slowly starts closing off to the friends he's made. The affections he began to have for one in particular become one of the last things that keep him from just jumping off a cliff or something.
Also he's pretty over the short jokes, so he hopes those stop any time now. Twenty-three years old and not looking a day over 13 is fun.
I KEEP WRITING TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS STUFF SORRYFJOSDKL; MORE PICTURESSSS
