Upcoming Character: Genthon Greywolf

Genthon Greywolf has been a character in my head for awhile. He was originally just an older knight wearing armor with a wolf motif. Just that. No story or anything.

As I started sketching him out I decided to keep the wolf-themed armor but also make him a werewolf. Then, instead of just being a regular knight why not have him be a paladin? He fell from grace and was cursed with some good ole' fashioned lycanthropy.

I don't know all the particulars yet but it's a good start for a decent character. I kind of imagine his story being like the old Incredible Hulk TV show, where he's looking to solve his problem but ends up helping others solve theirs. Instead of a green rage monster, he's a savage bloodthirsty werewolf.

Just don't make him angry man, it's not that hard.

For his werewolf form, I was inspired by Zylo from the first Shining Force game on the Sega Genesis. (One of my all-time favorite games) I picture him more upright and humanoid rather than a beast on all fours.

I haven’t decided whether Genthon’s werewolf form is simply a more animalistic version of himself or if it’s a split personality situation, with man and wolf always at odds. I’ll figure that out when I fully design the character and finalize his backstory.

Stay tuned to see what I come up with.
