#apologies for the bad sketch

[smolstarthief]

“Do you finally acknowledge your hubris? Despite your insistence that you’ve changed, you still refused help… You will surely fall to your own demise with charred wings if you keep up this charade… Do you still seek freedom? True salvation? Then I will help fly again with a pair of new wings… I am thou, thou art I… Rise above your torment and take flight once more!”

“Give me new wings, ICARUS!!”

So I decided to redo my old PT Maruki design and at long last... He's done! Old version can be seen here!

Here's a rough sketch of the full outfit! I took some inspiration from starrycosmicyuu's take on the old design. I tried there and the ends of the coat are meant to resemble feathers. I tried to make the staff look sharp so hopefully it's doable. I just feel like he would be more magic oriented than combat oriented since he considers himself a pacifist unless pushed.

Anyhow, more notes/profile:

Codename: Adam (a reference to the Adam and Eve motif associated with him (that and Adam was casted out of paradise along with Eve so it still fits with what I’m going with here with this design))

Persona: Icarus (I personally felt like the story/myth fit Maruki pretty well, he flew too close and fell with his hubris but (unlike Icarus, who met his demise) that doesn’t mean he can’t be saved and redeemed)

I know people would often have him be all white and gold but… I couldn’t help but think that the black and gold is a good way to show that he’s symbolically a “fallen god” now along with fitting the story of Icarus still a bit.

Melee Weapon: His staff in canon, but probably modified more for battle. Helps with magic use too.

Ranged Weapon: Bow and arrows.

Specializes in Bless Magic along with healing.

His brooch was loosely inspired by Hawkmoth from Miraculous Ladybug and my bf's own input. The meaning behind a gold/yellow moth is apparently this:

His 2nd tier Persona would be Asclepius, who was a renowned doctor/medical practitioner from Greek mythology and apparently associated with snakes as well (the Adam and Eve motif of his Palace).

His 3rd tier will be Vikare, Icarus' Etruscan name.

Stats (I’m gonna do a 1 to 10 thing. 1 for weakest, 10 for strongest. Idk why, it strangely helps me a bit more.):

Strength: 5

Magic: 10

Endurance: 4

Agility: 5

Luck: 7

Phew! All done! Hope you enjoy him!

You probably don't do art requests, but can we see what the face of Noah's true insane side looks like please? O_O;

What do you mean? He'd look pretty much the same as canon, really. I don't know why he'd-

Oh.

Did your family tell you about Alucard?

“I studied all there is to know from my forefathers from our records and their journals. I am as familiar with Alucard as Trevor, thanks to what he penned in those same journals.

When I began reading about Alucard—with his half-vampire heritage, borne from Dracula himself—I deemed him hellspawn."

"How wrong I was. He is justice incarnate, and a valuable ally. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for him to join Trevor in slaying Dracula for the first time.

I wonder if he yet lives. I pray he’s well.”

All of your drawings are so pretty! They look so... soft(? Don't know how to say it

I just love them 💕

Oh my gosh, thank you!!! I think I get what you’re saying! I really appreciate all the likes and comments I’m getting but this is the first one to go out of there and say that someone loves my art! Also if anyone else has ideas for me to draw I’m up for the challenge!

Anyway, here is some Klance for anyone who wants it!
