I decided to try a new format. I've always enjoyed watching the ending credits of some movies or animated films where they did rough sketches in color. This is Daemon's natural uniform and color pattern.

After being mostly asleep doing this, I am glad I am finally done as this scheme took me the better part of an all day/all night push to finish.

I plan on doing more works like this.

The type of combatant Daemon Wolf is may be surprising. His training began as a child of age 5. He was taught martial arts by a Amaran monk who crash landed on the planet years before his time. Following the fall of Mahnahi, he began training during his adventures, picking up on various skills of cultures who taught him as a reward for performing heroic feats of not only strength and cunning, but compassion. Melindey Lupin was his instructor in heart and tried her best to give him a wardai education, despite their turbulence.

After the loss of Melindey Lupin, he was alone and eventually found by Gypsy Minosians who taught him art and dance. This dance was also incorporated into his combat skills. Later he arrived in Devlinshire and because he haulted a werewolf advanced with what they believed was no formal training, he was given a thorough scholarship in which he continued to practice and learn his arts of combat.

Many things were learned there, including and especially fighting while under heavy load, plate mail armor, made of iron so thick that a gauntlet alone weighed nearly 20 lbs. The training also continued secretly within his martial arts until it was discovered. He was sent around the world once more, this time to fully professional teachers to study advanced arts of weaponry and armor. He learned the weaknesses of steel and iron, but more importantly he soon began discovering the secret arts of his own people.

The wardai were exceptionally proficient in their arts of war and their ability to craft powerful weapons. This relied on a metal indigenous to only the Mahnahi area. Marbelite has an interesting quality, one that allowed for the creation of powerful artifacts. The metal absorbs all energy. Sunlight, thermal, even the life force of living beings. It relied on Mithril as a catalyst to allow for people to wield it without threat of being slain by the mere touch.

Because of the weapon he safeguarded since childhood and eventually came to use, he soon became the only known artificer in Marbelite of the modern Kyra age. Daemon's combat training never ceased. Following the rise of an Ilgea (or False World Goddess), he began to release the seven elemental guardians, who at first tried to kill him, but later taught him their arts. After gaining the respect of a once ancient enemy, the arcticane Sulikhan began teaching him the skills of her people.

Daemon Wolf never closed his mind to new lessons, nor new combat strategy. His curious adaptability allowed him to survive for some ninety years before he came to be what you see today. Even despite his age, he is still considered as a child by the wardai people. They have, after all, a half life of at least five thousand years.
