I immediately connected with this guy so I had to enter. Name: Baxter Gender: Male (he/him) Personality: Mysterious, a little bit of a showoff, but he has a heart of gold underneath, responsible, calm, even in the thick of a fight Backstory: His parents died when he was young, and thus, to survive, he learned to fight. His fighting style is entirely self-taught, which meant learning a lot the hard way. During this time, he took a blow to the face and was half-blinded for a while. The sight eventually returned to his eye, and now all that remains of that is the scar across his eye. Baxter has never really been one to reveal the secrets of his past. So, most of his past is a mystery to all those except those he has a very close connection with. One day. he found a kitten (well, not a "kitten" exactly. He was old enough to not be considered a kitten but not enough to be a full-grown cat. Think roughly a 12-14 year old human) in a similar situation to when he was young. His name was Slate. Baxter looked at him and knew that he had to protect him. Slate looked up to him as an older brother/mentor. He even learned to fight, although he used a sword half the size of his body rather than a dagger. Although Slate had grown up, they still fight by each other's sides. Another day, the two found a pure white snake who awoke with little memory of his past. His name was Prince. Long story short, he had immense magical power, and now he's part of the team, too. Nowadays, the three of them are mercenaries, with Baxter acting as their leader. They are all very good friends. In fact, they're the only two that Baxter trusts completely. Other: -He knows a LOT of random facts about many species of fish. Ask, and he'll tell you many of them. -He has a really bad scar under his bracer/bracelet thing/whatever it's called. He got that one before he got his eye scar. He used to be pretty embarrassed about it. Now that he has his eye scar, he's less embarrassed about it, but he still wears the thing anyway. He likes it. -Although Slate and Prince are like family to him, if you ask him why he decided to protect them in the first place, he will tell you he has no idea. -The sight in the eye with the scar is significantly worse than the other eye. He's gotten used to it for the most part, but, because of it, his depth perception isn't the best. -Both of his teammates, Slate especially, call him Bax.
-Looks like he's ready to fight. -I hope that the edgy eye scar isn't too much of a design change. Also, I'm lowkey proud of the dagger I drew in his mouth. -I have not drawn anything with shadows/light in a long time. So if it looks weird, that's why. -There are three different animations. One is a small bounce, one is him blinking, and the last is him swishing his tail. -The music is called Creepers in the Castle by Ralph Ford. It's a piece of music I get parts of stuck in my head occasionally. I played in my orchestra class long ago and cut it for a trailer of an animated series I never made. I just put the cut version into my backpack, and, ta-da, now I have fitting music for this.
